Sorry for the delay in chapter 2 x.x'' It ended up being longer then i expected ''' I tried to space the paragraphs more too, so i hope it will be easier to read. Please enjoy . )
It had been a good week, and neither Anna or Yoh had spoken to each other. The gang wasn't too sure how to handle this. Tamora and Jun took up most of the resonsabilities of keeping the place in order. Tamora was releaved to have Jun around. Both Lenny and Jun had offered Yoh a room at their place until things cooled down between him and Anna, but he declinded. He prefered to stay in the place that had the good memories of him and Anna. Jun, in turn, opted with Lenny to stick around and help the others run the place. Overall, Tamora was now in charge. She and Morty handled all the cooking, while Trey was kept in line by Pilica. And while Yoh was dealing with his problem, Trey had one of his own. Anna had taken the working T.V. into her room and had made it perfectly clear that no one was to disturb her, leaving the old T.V. with the others. "Noooo!" cried Trey. "I need that Television! The other one is only in Spanish!" he cried. "Trey! Anna wants to be alone! Besides, YOU need to train, not watch T.V." she said firmly, her hand on her hips. Trey was on his knees, begging her still, as he plotted on how he would get around her and into Anna's room. Pilica had been standing in the middle of the hall, blocking the way to Anna's room. "Ohhh, come on!" she said, grabbing him by the ear and dragging him outside. "Ow, ow ow ow ow!!" he yelled. "It'll hard to be Shaman King when i don't have an ear that works!!" he cried.
Tamora blinked, watching the two from the opposite hall. She walked about, gathering the dirty clothes. She wanted to get the wash out of the way and was pleased when Morty offerd to help her with it. And so, she went to gather the dirty clothes from each room, while Morty prepared the wash room. She took her time, making sure to get all of them, this way they wouldn't have to worry about any extras that might be passed up and have to be cleaned later. After exiting Trey's room, with a massive pile of clothing, she wandered down the hallway, balancing the pile against her. "He's so messy..." she said in a straining voice, continuing down the hall. She stopped near the washroom door, resting a moment. She glanced out one of the hallway windows, looking away, but doing a double take as she did. Yoh was out there, sitting alone by the small, out-door lake. She looked to him sadly, feeling her own heart ache, as she imagined his did. She was tempted to run out there and hug him, hold him close and tell him that everything was going to be ok...but couldn't. She knew Yoh wanted Anna, not her. She was a shoulder to cry on, Anna was his bride to be. She sighed, as she entered the washroom, but put on her happy face. She didn't want Morty to worry about her. He was worried enough about Yoh and Anna. She needed him to stay strong and help her, and knew worrying him wouldn't do any good. Without further ado, her and Morty began to sort through and wash the clothes.
Yoh sat near the small lake, staring deep into it. It amazed him clear the water was. He sighed, submerging his hands deep into the cool water. It felt good, especially since he had injured his hands numerous times during training with the gang. No matter how hard he tried, he couln't concentrate. He moved against Amidamaru, their unity being cut several times. He also had difficulty even acheiving unity, it taking well over a minute at times. He sighed heavily. Without Anna there to back him up, he felt helpless. He loved to have her watch him, it gave him a reason to do his best. Not to mention, it was a good time for him to show off his moves for her. He didn't mind when she made a mean comment, or watched him at all for that matter. Her being there made him feel like he could take on the world. Knowing she wasn't there made his battles much more difficult, especially during trainning. ...trainning... he thought. ...I can't even concentrate during trainning...how will I be able to concentrate at the Shaman Tournament... he thought, still staring into the water.
He sighed, now in deep thought. His mind drifted between numorous memories, from the day he was told he would become a Shaman, to his fight with Anna. All seemed to pass and fade as quickly as they came, except one. Yoh closed his eyes, remembering as if it had only been yesturday, though it had long since past. However, it was still as fresh and vivid as it was back then.
It had all happend late one night. Yoh had woke up and wander outside to stare upon the starey sky. It was a little before midnight, the sky so dark, it was almost black. The only light came from that of the moon. Yoh smiled, staring at the night sky. It reminded him so much of Anna's eyes. They were so dark, they seemed black, but when the light hit them just right, they seemed to twinkle, like that of a star in the sky. The night itself was cool, and silent, filled with only the sound of chirping crikets. The small lake rippled gently with the soft flow of the breeze. Yoh continued to stare at the sky, lost in thought. He blinked some, feeling someone elses presences. He didn't move though as the figure took a seat beside him. He noticed it was Anna. She wore her long, white, kimono style robe, that fell well past her feet. For a while, the two sat in silence. Anna's voice broke it finally. "What's wrong?" she asked softly, staring at the sky. "Nothing really..." Yoh began. "Just...thinking is all." he finished, still staring at the sky. Anna nodded, and the two sat in silence once again.
For a while they stared at the sky, both seeming to be lost in thought. Yoh blinked some, and glanced out of the corner of his eye at Anna several times. He knew this would be the perfect time and moment for a cuddle session with her. He thought about it in his mind, but didn't want to do like he had seen in so many movies; yawn and put his arm around her. He wanted to be able to do that without her catching on. He took a deep breath and decided to take the plunge. He slowly began to move closer to her. He figured she had an idea of what he was doing, because she could read minds. If she knew, she didn't let on and didn't move away for that matter. It made him feel better, and more relaxed. When he was close enough to her, he moved his hand up, wrapping his arm around her shoulders. He softly pulled her to him as he did. Anna went with it, smiling. She lightly rested her head on his shoulder. Though it didn't often show, she truly loved him, more then word could ever say. Yoh smiled, glad to have her so close. He held her like that for a while, the two staring upon the star filled sky. Yoh felt his heart racing, full of love and passion for his furture queen, and only wanted to pull her closer. He thought about it for a few minutes, thinking if she didn't want to be held anymore that she would backhand him or something. ...no pain , no gain.... he thought, closing his eyes and smiling childishly.
He slowly began to pull her closer, until she sat on his left leg now. He wrapped his arms around her slender waist, lowering his head down, so that his left cheek lay against her breasts. Anna blushed some, but didn't pull away. She wrapped her arms around him, rubbing his back some. He smiled closing his eyes, listening to the slow, soft beating of her heart. He was content to hold her and she was content to be held by him. For a while, they stayed like that, holding one another. Yoh blinked some, then looked out at the lake sadly. He had had one question on his mind for a long time, but could never find the right moment to ask it. He hugged her tightly as he began to speak. "Anna..." he said softly, his tone serious and sad. "Yes Yoh?" she said. He sighed deeply, cuddling against her chest softly. "What if...I fail you...what if...I don't become Shaman King...?" he asked sadly. He knew Anna had trained him so hard to become the Shaman King, and if he lost, he felt like he would be failing her. For a while, neither of them spoke, the only sound the chirping of the crikets. "Don't worry..." Anna said, stroking his hair. Yoh blinked some as she did. "No matter what happens...I'll stand by you..." she said to him softly. Yoh blinked, listening to her sweet words. He smiled as they sunk in. She didn't love him because of his future status, she loved him for him and knowing that if he made it or not, that she would still be by his side, was greater then anything in the world.
He smiles, sliding his head up, his cheek brushing against her neck and her cheek as well. Anna blushed, but smiled as he did this. He continued, resting his forehead against hers. They gazed into each others eyes for what seemed like an eternity. Finally, Yoh moved closer , nuzzling his nose with hers. She closed her eyes as he did and he did the same. Slowly, he moved his lips to hers, softly kissing her. Anna blushed brightly as he did, about to pull away. He heart was racing, as was his, but as much as her mind told her to pull away, her heart and body refused. She closed her eyes, kissing him back the same, enjoying the moment of their first, official kiss. They continued, not wanting to break the kiss, kissing until they needed to catch their breath. Slowly, they parted their lips, resting their foreheads against one anothers. Yoh then pulled Anna against him, her head lightly resting against his chest. Anna closed her eyes as he did, wrapping her arms around him. He smiled, holding her close, then looked back to the star filled sky.
Yoh finally opened his eyes, drawn back from his thoughts. Whtever happend that night was in the past now. Nothing he could do now would ever make up for what he had said to Anna, or so he thought. He sighed heavily, his hands still in the water. He bagan to move his hands towards each other, the two waves colliding together as they met in the middle, creating a larger wave that rippled out from the top. He watched, doing this several times, intreaged by what he saw, why he did not know.
"Strange, isn't it?" said a cool female voice form behind him. He easily reconized it as Jun's. He looked back at her. She was wearing a long green kimono, the slit on the right side, exposing much of her right hip and upper thigh, He blusehd some, turning his eyes from her quickly. She smiled, the lower half of her face concelled by her fan. "Strange, how two opposing forces can come together to make one, kind of like you and Anna, don't you agree?" she asked. Yoh thought about this. In all honesty, him and Anna were like opposites. He was lively, loud, and childish, where as Anna was quite, mature and graceful in both fighting and with words. ...Oppisites DO attract... he thought, then sighed some. ...and repel... "Don't think about it too much Yoh..." she said, turning from him.
She walked back towards the large Dojo, her dress flaring out in the breeze. Yoh watched her as she disappeared into the large, dark hallway. He turned his attention back to the lake, thinking about his past, and all he head thought about and heard today. He began to wonder if it was possible to make up with Anna. His mind told him no, but his heart told him yes. He sighed, yet again, deep in thought.
