Chapter 2
Patch Village
"Yoh stop it , you've done over a million pushups! You'll get sick!"
Said manta sitting on a bench looking at Yoh doing pushups non-stop.
"I have to do this if I want my fiancée alive that is"
"did I say I was gonna kill her???"
Manta and Yoh looked up. There in the water fountain sat Hao smiling.^_^
"HAO! Where is she ? don't you dare touch her!" said Yoh getting up and lunging towards his twin.
Hao easily avoided him and the next second was standing on the bench Manta was sitting on. Manta tumbled off the bench in terror.
"Don't worry manta , this doesn't involve you " he said looking down at the dwarf boy with a sort of highness
"So otouto your power develops well for a matter of one day! But it's still not enough to find the itako"
"grrrr..HAO!"
"Don't worry, she's fine . I just came by to make sure your keeping up your part of the deal"
Yoh was looking down his fists closed in anger.
"Good thing you are , oh and you know otouto , if you don't find her in one week im afraid im going to keep her..oh and I see The pink haired girl gave you my message!" he said looking at Anna's bracelet on Yoh's wrist.
saying this Hao disappeared Yoh was raging in anger.
There's no way I'll ever let him keep her, there's gotta be a way to find her! Then again I never thought I cared so much about her....
"Amidamaru!"
the spirit materialized next to Yoh
"Yes Yoh-Dono?"
"Is there any method you posses that could help me find Anna?"
"Why yes Yoh-dono but it could be risky for you"
"I don't care! What is it??"
"Invoking one of the forsaken souls in this region, they are souls that roam the earth forever with the task of taking under evil spirits , they know all that goes on in this land"
"What's the downside?"
"Well, You have to incorporate them (be possesed) in order for them to do their job. But sometimes when they leave your body they could drag your soul with theirs and be sent to hell…."
"I'll do it"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Anna sat inside the tent on the floor hugging her knees. She looked down at the ground in deep thought. There was a tray of food next to her , half empty of its contents. She was pondering on what she was going to do. And thought It wisest to wait , after all she didn't want to die incinerated. She lay down and closed her eyes , the floor was covered by a typical apache carpet.
Yes it was definetly wisest to wait it out, at least until she got a chance to call upon a mensseger spirit or be out of the tent.
"Had a good night's sleep??"
he was back , she decided to keep her eyes closed and pretend she didn't hear him . She was very pissed at his little attempt last night. She decided If she were to be his prisoner then she would do her best to make believe he doesn't exist.
"Hmmm mad about last night I see…don't worry that hickie should be gone in a couple days"
Hearing this she opened her eyes and sat up , which were literally flaming . She took the knife from the tray and mirrored it on her neck seeing the purple blot on it!
"grrrrr…look here ! you over-egoed fireball ! just because you kidnapped me , does not mean you are Yoh and have his future rights! " she was blushing saying the last part.
"Anna-chan , If anyone here has all the rights its me. And you shouldn't complain like that after all im giving you infinitly better treatment that I do to other friends of my foes… "
she scowled at his comment with a simple "hmmphh" and turned away with her arms crossed.
"is that all you came in here to say?"
"No actually I was about to notify you that were leaving"
"What? That's not fair Yoh is supposed to find us here."
"Actually we're heading out for somewhere much preetier, that's where he'll find us"
She was compelled to answer , but decided not to . after all if she was right this would be her chance. She would be out in the open air again.
"Come now, I've removed the barrier it's time for us to go"
he walked out ,and she quietly got her bandana and tied it around her neck.
Then followed once outside All of Hao's stood there looking at them , including the three girls , Marion scowled at Anna , but she just gave her one of those death glares.
"Well then go on to business" he told his disciples. And they all vanished
exept for Opacho and Hao, they started to walk , and Anna followed wondering where they were headed. She walked behind them looking at he ground unconcerned with where she was going but actually what she was going to do.
They walked for about and hour and before she knew it she was seeing a small piece of paradise before her. There lay a small valley and the Oasis inside.
"well anna-chan what do u think?"
On the inside she was quite astonished by the place , but on the outside she kept her bored expression.
Before she knew it he grabbed her arm and and they both were "teleported" inside a cabin . he let go of her arm and she looked around.
"you've been awfully quiet this journey Anna-chan what seems to be that your thinking so much of"
she glared at him did he suspect?
She ignored him and went on to explore the house. She went up the stairs into a narrow hall. It was dark there. She stepped into the hall and saw two rooms each at one end of the hall. She was thinking not of her escape , even though that plan was half thought up already, no she was worried of what would happen. She was alone with her the most feared shaman of the shamans….with raging hormones. She walked to one room at the end of the hall . it was nice . It had animal furs on the walls and a nice king size bed. She hadn't slept in a proper bed last night . So she closed the door and plopped on the bed . She proceeded to take off her bandanna. She wanted so desperately to take a bath and have a change of clothes but she would not speak this to the shaman , because he might get ideas…
She relaxed as much as she could , and started to think of her fiancée , Yoh. She pictured him in her mind . His carefree smiles. His charm , his voice. She actually missed the lazy shaman. She wondered if he missed her at all… and if he was indeed trying to find her , or partying that she was gone maybe for good. The thought of that made her heart sink a bit. She sighed.
She hadn't noticed that Hao entered the room. He had not seen her instantly but noticed her lying peacefully on the bed. She looked like an angel to his eyes. After hearing her sigh, he blushed a bit. There it was again, the feeling that she awoke in his brother. His expression softened very much and he just stayed there looking at her.
His presence did not go unnoticed for long though, she opened her eyes and saw him gaping over her. And got freaked out cowering away against the wall (anime style!hahaha) . He sweatdropped…
"What are you doing here??? I thought I made it clear for you to leave me alone!!!"
"Umm sorry to break it to you ANNA but this is my room " he said starting an argument
ühu! So the almighty fire shaman does loose it!!!
"ÖH REALLY? Well I don't see your name on it!"
"well its mine and besides I like a king sized bed the other room has a queen sized bed"
"WELL im the LADY here so I get to choose!" she said standing up and towering over him. Although he didn't get as easily intimidated as Yoh did. No way. Another idea popped up in his head and a malicious smile spread across his face `_
"Fine then Anna , so your saying you wont give up this room , and you wont leave it ?"
"finally you got the picture now if you'll be so kind as to ….."
"Okey then it's settled" he said closing the door and plopping down on the bed.
"WHAT?"she said astonished, what did I get myself into???This wasn't very smart of me , but I wouldn't like that yesterday's incident repeat itself. I better just get out…
with her mind made up she grabbed her bandanna and walked to the door. And left the room.
Hao smiled ^_^ I always get what I want (A/N a little conceited are we?)
Downstairs…..
Anna sat on the couch and looked around . She wanted to take a bath …..
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Yoh was at the park , ready for what ever he had to do , in order to get back anna.
"Yoh-dono I really think you should consult your family before doing this…"
"He's right Yoh! What'll I do with a dead son?"
at this everyone's head turned to a man with a bird mask.
Mikihisa?
"Dad?"
"Yes Yoh , its me !" he said trying to sound triunfant and wise. A long silence followed and Yoh sweat dropped.
Clearing his throat he continued "anyways , We all know what happened , but on behalf of the family! I cant let you do this! There are others efficient ways in which you can find Anna! "
"Listen Otousan I cant just stay here training all day , without knowing what's happening "
"Yoh there are other ways , don't risk your life. Or else who'll save Anna? Listen to what im telling you"
Yoh looked down in defeat , "Fine ….what is it?"
"first we must meet with the rest of the family"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
anna had fallen asleep on the couch , dreaming of taking a bath in luxurious hot springs…and waking up disappointed to see that she was nowhere near any water"spring.
"had a nice nap?" there at the stairs stood the fire shaman without his cloak , only wearing his (extremely totally awesome) pants.
oh god! Has he got no life!
she didn't answer but only stared ahead.
"are you hungry? i am let s make some food! ^_^"
she again did not answer.
"Do whatever you want "
"I always do ^_^"
she snickered at this last coment
"You doubt it?"
"Well you know , judging by the fact that you lost two shaman battles already…"
She had struck a nerve.
In a matter of seconds he was in front of her he held her by the wrist and said in a low and threatening voice.
"this time I wont loose , that lazy bum that I have for a otouto wont triumph over me. The who dare defy me Asakuras will fall this time . So you better start considering this battle won."
"Could you let go? Your hurting my wrist"
At seeing the blond look somewhat defenseless his expression softened. She was thinking that he was going to oblige to her request. But he did the exact opposite.
He held her by the chin , forcing her to look into his eyes. The thing she'd been avoiding for the past 2 days. But this time it was inevitable. She looked up , seeing the two ebony eyes of Hao which shone with a strange intensity. He was smiling at her . But it wasn't any smile it was a smile that incited her to be his own…in every way existent.
He noticed that the Itako had let her guard down and was in a deep puddle of thought. He took advantage of this to bring her closer. And trapping her in his arms he smelled the intoxicating scent of her golden hair.
The Itako was immobilized , too out of reality to speak. But not too out of touch to think! And the only thing she could think of was Yoh..
With all the mental strength she had left she tried to push off the shaman . He back off a bit , but not enough to let her escape his embrace.
"Whats wrong Anna-chan?" his humorous and at the same time daring tone made her blood boil.
"Who do you think you are huh? How dare you do this …again! "
"What? You didn't like it??? " he asked ironically , Anna felt the sudden urge to mutilate the guy.
"NO!" she screamed . He took advantage of the closeness and pulled her closer to him. whispering
"well, you didn't show any signs of dislike now did you?"
The Itako blushing furiously , tried to free herself from his arms, in vain.
"LET ME GO HAO!" What she intended to sound like an order had come out sounding like a plea.
He imprisoned her even tighter with one arm around her waist and the other playing with her locks of hair.There it was again. The urge to protect , to need. The same feeling she awoke in his Otouto.
He let her go , but only momentarily lifting her chin again. He cme closer to her wanting to taste her peach lips. And he did…
Anna didn't dare move. Still oblivious as to just what the hell was going on. He was pleased to feel that after a while she slowly started to respond to the kiss. Hesitant the whole time.
He took her own arms and placed them around his neck. While pressing her against himself as close as they could get to each other.
Hao smiled , he knew where this would end. (at least he thought he did)
As for Anna . Her brain seemed to have gone "off-line" the only thing she could think of was the lips of the fire shaman and the way he was suddenly dominating her. They both fell on the couch. Him on top. Again making sure that this time she would not get away.
Yoh…Anna suddenly broke the kiss , Her face filled with horror. What was she doing? Hao was just staring down at the Girl with a determined expression and one of his malicious smiles.
Seeing this , anna knew that this time even if she did show the white flag he would not let her go.
In vain she tried to pry him off her. It was useless. He was too involved now.
His eyes were reflecting her , and were filled with fire.
He kissed her again, hungrily this time.
She was shocked , at the realization that she had no escape she started to squirm under him. This only excited him more. His hand roamed her body. diverting his lips to her neck.
"Noo! Hao stop please! please" this time she was pleading
He ignored her, and continued …when he got to her collarbone he halted. And smiled even more.
She took the opportunity of this to make them both fall off the couch and run away. She ran up the stairs.as fast as she could. And locked herself in a room. Wrong choice. She turned around and the fire shaman with his look ever determined stood in front of her.
"You cant escape Anna"
Saying this he threw her on the bed and pounced on her. Like a hungry predator about to attack it's prey.
Yoh… Yoh… I cant do this to Yoh and his family. I cant let this happen.
Tears appeared at the corner of her eyes and she started to sob quietly.
Hao stopped. And looked at her face. Her ever cold eyes were now filled with tears and she had lost her cool comsposture. He felt that feeling again. And got off her , turning around he said…
"You can go take a bath , there are hot spring behind the house , we'll continue this later."
Saying this he walked off regreting the fact that he didn't say that the reason he stopped was because he had made her cry , witch seemed unforgivable . But for now he would not hurt her. After all his world conquest was nearing now that Yoh was growing stronger.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Anna lay on the bed blushing and with tears at her eyes at the same time . how could she let him do this. She knew that she loved Yoh, she knew this all along! Then why had she let desire take over her.
She needed to cleanse herself she got up and proceded to head for the hot springs. She needed a bath…..
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Yoh's eyes shot open. did he hear Anna scream for him , scream fo help ? or was he dreaming? No it felt very real. His Itako was going through something . And she was not enjoying it.
HAO. …….. if you touch her I swear there wont be anything left of you to reincarnate in the next 500 years!
Yoh couldn't take it anymore. He had to find her and fast. He couldn't stand the thought of what might happen if he took any longer than that. He knew Anna . He was calm by nature and stood her explosive personality but if he knew one thing. It was that Hao wouldn't stand her insults for too long. And he feared this.
TBC
Well that's it for now! Review plz? Should this be a YohxAnna? Or a HaoxAnna? Your choice! Oh and does anybody know what the attacks of Yoh and his friends are called? I need that for battles.
