Chapter 4:

Read my Mind

must have been around 7 in the morning when sunlight began to sneak in through the crack in the window. She opened her eyes groggily . a flashback of a face passed through her mind. The same face…two different people same night. Flashbacks followed. She remembered  the events of last night. After her argument with Hao , she had gone to the back yard for air, or better yet to cool off and reflect on what to do next. 

Apparently being in the rain for so long had given her a fever. Next thing she knew she had blacked out

She sat up in the bed. And the covers slipped down to her waist. At first she did not notice but either the breeze was stronger today or… she looked down to notice she was only wearing her bra and underwear.

Tears came to her eyes (anime style). And she screamed . The door of the room shot open.  There stood Hao with a pink apron and a tray with a bowl of soup in it.  "What's wrong???"  He said in an alarmed tone. Her eyes fell on him, and she was beginning to plot the slowest and most painful way to kill him. But out of nowhere a thought came to her mind. "Had he only taken care of her??? And possibly restrained from his usual self??".

"I know what you're thinking ,and no! I am proud to say that I restrained myself and devoted all last night to caring for you!" he said as he lay a tray of what seemed to be chicken soup on her lap . It didn't smell too bad. But she still refused to eat , even though he "took care of her" it didn't mean he couldn't have another one of his tricks up his sleeve.

"So …. Would you mind explaining to me what exactly happened …through out the course of my…..unconsciousness?" she asked trying to be as calm as possible . (If she had spoke her mind she would have been strangling poor Hao-sama).

"Are you sure you wont beat me up if I tell you??" he asked

She sneered at this, and simply crossed her arms , making the tiniest signal with her head and saying "hai". He let out a sigh and untied his apron hanging it behind the door, he sat down next to the bed.

"Well it all began with your little outburst after you tried to escape, and you went outside again, I followed you of course!" he said as a matter of factly (Anna twinging at this) . "And then you were just there then you fainted , and I caught you of course, and then I brought you here. You had quite a fever. And your clothes were soaking wet. I had to get you into something dry if I didn't want you to get any worse….so I had to do what I had to do ..". 

She had listened and thought that his explanation was reasonable. But then she had to ask. "You …didn't do anything …did you?"

He smiled , and answered ^_^ "of course not , I wouldn't do anything you weren't awake to enjoy!" . His comment was instantly followed by a bonk in the head. But he quickly recovered and got up. "As for now Anna , eat your soup.

        m not the world greatest cook , but  I did my best and it's the fastest thing to cure you." Saying this he left the room and went downstairs.  Leaving the cabin and "teleporting" to meet with his gang.

"Yoh and his little geeks are getting closer Hao-sama" Said Macchi updating Hao on the news.

"I know"

"Should one os us go play with them?" asked Opacho.

"Why yes, why don't you three give them a greeting ?" he said signaling to the only three women in the group.

"Don't kill Yoh, though leave that to me…".

"Hao-sama! Opacho had other news to tell you!" the little boy said in a serious tone

"huh?"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

        Anna had finished the soup, and now was feeling much better. It seemed Hao had put some time of herb in the soup that speeded up curing. After all it was expected. He did claim to be the master of nature. The only problem was, that her clothes had been soaking wet. And were unfortunately taking quite a long time to dry. Even though they were hanging  near the fireplace which was lit 24/7. Wait a minute was she referring to this place as if it were her home? Had she gotten used to it? It couldn't be. Hao appeared in her mind. He had brought her here, he had taken her from her normal lifestyle , And she had been in this cabin for three days. She was extremely thankful to the fact that she had seen  Yoh. And it seemed he did care about her.  But then again , Hao displayed a different side to him regarding his actions when she had fallen ill the previous night.

Wait a minute! Why was she even considering being nice to this guy (out of choice). After all he was to return her to Yoh just how he took her. But she was suddenly knocked out of her thoughts as a chilly breeze blew in . She remembered she was only in her undergarments. And  her clothes were wet. She didn't want to spend the day in the bed like that , depending on Hao to do things. So she took the opportunity that he was not home and got up to look for possibly anything that she could use as clothes. As she opened the closet in her room , she found nothing, but a half elegant red dress.(like the yellow one Asuka wears in her first appearance in Evangelion another SUGOI! Series). She put it on.

After all it was better than being like how she was now. After doing so, she walked downstairs and sat in front of the fireplace, to meditate. She stayed there for what seemed hours. Again she was knocked out of her thoughts as an arm abrumptly pulled her up.

"What did you think you were doing??" Hao was there his eyes seemingly on fire and his aura significantly higher.

His hand seemed to be burning her arm little by little.

"You're hurting me!!"

He lunged her on the couch.

"WE HAD A DEAL! And YOU broke it!"

He said , she had never seen him like this, even when he was fighting . (imagine Hao almost as mad as he was in the last episodes of the series)

"I don't know what you're talking about!"

"NO!? well that good for nothing otouto of mine contacted with you yesterday huh? No wonder you tried to escape!"

She was stunned , was he acting….jealous? she musterered up enough courage and said the next

"Well! Its not my fault he did that, and its not like you owe me! "

He seemed to rage even more at this but then suddenly calmed down and looked at Anna with a very significant stare.

"let me explain to you the fact that Yoh should have never existed , and that he is but a part of me. So technically you do belong to me and as I had said you BROKE the deal so I see no reason I shouldn't break it to my liking as well! So now I'll get what I want."

"What do you want!?Yoh is on his way!"

She asked half frightened half implying

"You know what I want!"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The group of shamans made their way across the eerie desert ,

"Which way now???"

asked Ryu trying to look heroic (poor it)

"I believe it is straight south"

said the spirit of the samurai. Amidamaru.

"What do you say Yoh-dono??"

the young shaman seemed to be very spaced out , and though the samurai kept on asking him the question. It took him a while to answer.

"Huh?? Oh yeah its that way! Come on let's pick up the pace!" ^O^

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Here they come, would you care to do the honors Lyserg??"

the British boy looked determined but at the same time very conflicted , he was again going to attack his "friends". How do you know who really are your friends?

The blond X-law walked ahead and the green haired boy stumbled to catch up.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Kuso! The tin-doll people are going to screw up our attack!"

said a hot tempered blue haired woman with a cigarette in her mouth.

"not if we attack first!"

answered the orange haired one.

"Then CHARGE!!!!"

screamed mari (the blond one)

"It's an ambush! "

Len took out his spear.

"come on guys , lets go!" said Yoh

"Attack!!!!"
