The day had passed rather quickly, and before the two knew it, Tamora and Morty were serving dinner. They passed out each of the plates, except Anna's. Tamora made sure everyone was settled down, before looking to Morty. He nodded to her and she nodded back. "I'll be right back." she said, taking Anna's plate of food and heading off. It took her a good couple of minutes before she reached Anna's room and was amazed to find that the doorknob turned easily, however...
She didn't enter, instead stood outside the door, the plate of food shaking in her hands. She took a couple of deep breaths, closing her eyes. ...i can do this... she's just a girl like me...i can handle this... she kept saying to herself. She didn't realize that she had been standing there for a while, still shaking relativly badly. She was afraid, afraid she would only make matters worse, yet her heart told her otherwise. She thought back on the convo her and morty had shared, about how sad Yoh had looked sitting alone near the small out-door lake. She knew that this was probably her only chance to talk to Anna and the more she thought about Anna's stuburnness, the more angry she began to feel. With her nerve finally gathered up, she turned the doorknob and entered the room.
Anna sat at a small desk, her back to the door. She seemed to be reading a book, though glanced up every now and then into a large mirror that hung on the wall in front of the desk, allowing her to see behind her. She looked up from her book some, seeing Tamora enter the room. "Set it on the table." Anna said softly, turnning the page of her book. Tamora walked to the small table in the center of the semi empty room. The room reminded Tamora of a small shrine, with numerous tailsmen and incents about the area. Tamora approached the small table, setting the plate down on it.
Anna listned, waiting to hear the door shut. After a few minutes, she looked up from her book and to the mirror, her eyes connecting with Tamora's. Anna lowered her eyes to the book again, a long silence following before Anna spoke. "Can I help you...?" asked Anna, he voice slightly annoyed. Tamora moved her left hand up, resting it on her right arm above her elbow. She kept her eyes focused on the floor, searching for her voice and nerve, both seeming to vanish as soon as Anna spoke. ...come on....say something or she's going to kick you out... she thought. Tamora took a deep breath, not sure what would escape her mouth. "I...I wanted to talk to you about Yoh." she said, blushing deeply as the words came out. Anna looked up at Tamora, using the mirror. Tamora looked at Anna's reflection, seeing her eyes narrow as she did. She blushed more, he heart beginning to speed up.
"What about Yoh?" Anna asked, her tone sharp and cold. Tamora once again felt her voice and nerve vanish. ..this is going all wrong...she probably thinks I'm after him... "Well?" asked Anna, her tone the same still. Tamora felt a wave of panic and distress wash over her. ...oh no...what do I do... she thought, wildly searching her mid for an answer. Anna looked back to her book now, continuing to talk. "Let me guess, you want to go out with him?" Tamora's eyes widended some, her face going from red to a deep crimson now. ...oh i hope she's not reading my mind... she thought, looking to Anna's refletion. "No..." Tamora replied softly. "But you do, don't you?" asked Anna again, her eyes focused upon a page of the large book.
Tamora looked down, blushing still. "Yes..." she said, closing her eyes, feeling ashamed some for liking her friends boyfriend...even though they weren't really friend friends. There was a short silence, Anna's voice once again breaking it. "I don't blame you.." she said in a softly tone. Tamora opened her eyes, once again looking at Anna's reflection in the mirror. Anna looked up some, though seemed to be lost in thought as her eyes seem to stare at the blank wall. "He's a great guy...very sweet, I dont blame you for being in love with him..." she said to her, Tamora shocked some. Still, she felt ashamed, and at a loss for words. Anna knew how Tamora felt about Yoh and now, probably thought she was here to make peace with her and persue Yoh. "Anna..." Tamora said sadly. "I...I didn't come here to try to take Yoh away from you." she said. Anna blinked some, drawn back form her thoughts. She lowered her head once again, focusing on her book.
"Oh?" Anna said in a slight sarcastic tone. Tamora rubbed her arm some, thinking about what she should say next. Anna continued to browse her book, waiting for Tamora's next excuse. "If you want Yoh...then take him..." she said, so coldy, that Tamora felt her own heart ache. "You don't mean that..." Tamora said softly, staring at Anna's reflection once again. "I do." Anna replied, without a trace of any emotion in her voice. Tamora stared at her friends reflection in absolute disbelief. She couldn't believe what she had just heard, wouldn't believe it. "You're lieing..." said Tamora, feeling tears begin to gather in her eyes. "You love Yoh...how can you...how can you be so cold...?" Tamora asked, as warm tears began to stream down her soft, pink cheeks. Anna didn't look up or move, she continued to stare at a page within her book. Tamora stared at Anna's reflection still, anger rising in her as Anna stayed silent and motionless.
"You have no idea...what it's been like for him..." Tamora began. Anna's head moved back slowly, so that her eyes were level with the wall. "What it's been like...for him...?" she asked, her voice coated with anger. Tamora looked at Anna's reflectin sadly. "I know it's been hard for both of you..." she began. "But...but one of you has to do something...if not-" "Why should I have to go to him?" Anna interrupeted. "When he stared the whole thing..." Tamora looked down some, then back to the mirror. "Because...he's...he's scared Anna...he doesn't want to lose you. He loves you so much, that...he's afraid if he does come to you, he'll hurt you...he needs you Anna...please....please go to him." Tamora said, her tears falling silently to the floor.
For a long while, there was silence between the two, Anna staring off some. Anna looked down, thinking about how much she missed Yoh and how badly she wished to be in his arms, to feel him in her arms again. Her eyes began to fill with tears. "I know..you're afraid Anna...but, if you don't go to him soon, you're going to lose him...possibly for good..." Tamora said softly. Once again, silence followed, and Tamora felt uneasy, that she had worn out her welcome, and so, opted that it would be best to leave Anna be and get a head start on helping Morty and Ryo with the dishes.
"I'm...I'm sorry...if I was rude or harsh..." Tamora said meekly, bowing some then quickly backing up to the door. She felt the doorknob against her back and reached for it, turnning it slowly as she proceeded to leave. "Wait..." Anna said, closing her book. She stood now, setting the book in the seat she was just sitting in. Anna looked at the floor, at her bare feet and toes. She closed her eyes, smiling some. "Thanks..." she said softly. Tamora stared at Anna, slightly shocked, but smiled, her tears of pain turnning to tears of happiness. "Anytime..." replied Tamora softly and with a quick bow she left the room.
Anna stood for a while, staring out the small window at the stars, thinking back to the night when her and Yoh has shared their first kiss under a starlit sky, much like the one now. She smiled, her heart full of love and compassion for her future king. And now, with her mind and heart set, she knew what she had to do. Sure with what she felt and knew, she went to the door of her room, opening it slowly. She glanced around the hall some, then walked on, silently, making her way to Yoh's room, hoping that it wasn't too late, that what Tamora had said was true, and that that little bit of common sense would be enough encouragment to make Anna pour her heart and soul out to her love, Yoh and once again bring them back together.
