She shivered slightly, slowly opening her orbs until they were half lidded. She yawned, scratching the back of her neck she slowly arose. Looking over to the window for a moment, the sun was a light orange at the bottom edges. Must still be early. Slowly walking over to her mirror, she sighed at the bags underneath her eyes. Anna...you're the only one for me. That damn Yoh kept her up late with what he said. She rubbed her face for a few moments to wake up a bit more, then tightening her slightly loose robes she opened the door to head for the hallway.

Glancing at Yoh's room for a moment to see if he was there... he wasn't. She sighed. It would just be my luck if he were up flirting with that damn girl. She only hoped the opposite. Walking further down the hall, all she saw was Yoh's figure. Before announcing her presence, she glanced around for the girl. No sight of her at all! This made her smirk, as she made a loud footstep to make him turn. Which succeeded. "Oi, Anna. Good morning..." He put on his usual grin. She kept her light smirk, but faded it a little so he doesn't question it. "Morning..." is all she replied with, walking towards the kitchen to make breakfast.

"So, where's-" "She went home, very early this morning, I guess." Anna looked back a moment, a bit surprised at his sudden reaction. "Oh." She said softly, as she turned back to searching for anything to make. What was that softness in her voice? Yoh couldn't help but wonder, as he blinked once. After this, he put his arms behind his head and leaned back in the chair, closing his eyes in a relaxed gesture. "Are you alright with..." she remembered pushing the white rice over because the girl wanted some. Heh. "I don't need breakfast today, Anna. I am not too hungry." She blinked and turned to her relaxed fiancée. "Eh? You need food, Yoh." She put her hand on her hips, the other dangling freely at her side.

"Naw, it's alright, Anna." He got up from the table and walked away to his room, glancing at her once with his smile. She sighed softly, slipping off her apron and heading to her own room to change. Closing the door behind her once she entered, she let her robes slide off her slim body and drop to the floor. She put on her uniform, same as always and slipped on her shoes. Noticing her bags beneath her eyes now had disappeared a bit, she sighed with relief and brushed through her hair. Heading out the door, she took one last glance at her room before shutting the door. Walking down the hall slowly, she soon enough reached her destination. None other then the door. As she opened it, there was the girl. "Can I help you?" Anna said sternly, glaring her in the eye. "I was like, waiting for Yoh." The girl blew and popped a bubble, strawberry scent now infesting Anna's senses.

"Too bad. Get out of here now, or I'll do it for you." Anna stated, keeping her emotionless, half-lidded eye face that scared most people off. The girl blinked lightly, the loud chewing sound still hearable by a lot. The girl gave a cocky smirk, folding her arms and leaning to her side on one leg. "Fine, then like make me." Anna smirked. Hmph. I'll teach that bitch a lesson she'll never forget! She grabbed the broom, about to jack her in the face Yoh opened the door. "Anna? Gabrielle?!" Gabrielle. So that's her name. Anna turned slowly, looking to Yoh. "What is SHE doing here?" Anna questioned, looking to Yoh with an upset look. Not too much of an upset look, though- she had to keep her unbreakable image. Yoh lied to me about her leaving, didn't he? He thought I'd be the last out the door! "I don't know, really..." He scratched the back of his head nervously. Anna just simply started walking, leaving the two behind on the inn's porch.

Even if he didn't lie, and she just simply appeared, the appearance of 'Gabrielle' made her sick. Gabrielle. Hm. Finally, she knew her name. Reaching the bus stop, there was Manta, alone and waiting for Yoh. "Eh- Anna? Where's Yoh?" Anna turned for a moment after the shrimp's question, seeing Yoh approach the bus stop. "Anna, I didn't know she would come." "I knew that, Yoh. I just felt like getting to the bus already." What a lie, that I said. She finally decided to give into the fact he just might not have known she was coming, when soon enough the bus came through the water filled street, coming to a stop in front of them all.

As Anna walked onto the steps to get on the bus, here came the goody two shoes. "Oh, please wait for me! Please!" She ran in her expensive high heels, pushing Anna to the side as she made her way up the steps. Anna dried off the mud that splashed onto her leg from the push, and went up the steps to an unoccupied seat once more. Looking out the window, as the rain was still going she sighed softly.

Seeing the building appear, for the first time in awhile the ride seemed fast. Walking off of the bus, after shoving Manta as usual, she headed towards the building quickly. A few people standing and chatting in the pouring rain glanced at her, a bit surprised at her sudden quickness. She wasn't upset, but the rain was starting to get to her. She sighed softly, as she pushed the doors open slowly to enter the school she was mighty sick of by now.

Walking through the long, winding hallways, she simply went through a train of thoughts as usual. I wonder if Gabrielle is purposely trying to seduce him... what a silly thought! No, I mean, look at her constant flirting and giggling! And that gum... I wonder if she's too immature enough to know what flirting is? She stopped her thoughts as there she saw her, walking through the hall as a few guys or so stopped to take a glance that would make them smile throughout first period. She blinked, as Gabrielle ran her fingers gracefully through her hair. Anna shrugged, trying to not mind, as she walked past her. But, before she knew it, the ground was suddenly getting closer and her papers flew everywhere!

Anna fell hard, hitting the old floor as her chin felt unbelievable pained. She heard Gabrielle giggle, stopping to look at what she thought the 'pitiful being.' She got up slowly, her knees and arms shaking as she glanced up at Gabrielle. That bitch! She tripped me on purpose! "Oh, sorry, Anna. Didn't see you there, though your hair is greasy enough to stand out. Perhaps, a shower is in order?" She giggled once more as she continued down the hall in her girly strut. Damn, I hate her! And what a lame thing to say. People used that crap in the 80's! Anna looked over to the large crowd now staring at her, glancing at them with an evil glare she then brushed herself off. "Quit staring already!" They turned away as soon as she finished her sentence.

She bent down to pick up her papers, once finished she walked over to her locker and put in her combination. 56...88...23. Her lock opened, as she stuffed her papers inside. Today was going to be a long day, she could tell. She sighed softly, taking out her chemistry book, notepad, and pencil to get ready for once of her favorite subjects, Chemistry.

Later.

Now, time for the subject she HATED most- Physical Education, or PE. Going into the changing room, the minute she entered she saw the person she hoped she wouldn't most- Gabrielle. I never even knew she existed until she was with Yoh! Why am I all the sudden always running into her?! She sighed softly, walking over to her gym locker she opened it to reveal her gym uniform. She shyly slipped off her clothes, and rapidly putting on her uniform she hurried to the gym. She wanted to get this over as fast as possible.

As soon as all the other girls were out of the gym, she found herself lined up with the girls on the side opposite of the boys. Once she saw the face of Yoh, she only blinked lightly but soon enough heard the whistle of the gym coach. "Alright! Now, we are going to go into groups of two and we are going to do gymnastics and tumbling today!" Anna gulped. Groups? She hoped she got with Yoh, if a boy. She could care less with girls. Wait, yeah she did. She sure as hell didn't want Gabrielle as her partner.

"Asakura Yoh, will be with Kigahoshi Gabrielle." Anna inside shattered. Damn it. Helping eachother tumble, she could see it! She didn't even listen to the rest. She couldn't care less who she was with now. As she heard a whistle, her partner walked up to her. Oh great, Hikari Nikonai, the most annoying girl on the planet. "So, like, lets hurry up and do the stunts!" Hikari exclaimed, basically having a heart attack over beginning the tumbles & gymnastics period of gym. "Yes, Hikari. Don't kill yourself over it, though." She sighed, slowly walking towards the mat. She knew this day wouldn't go well.

Going through the time of PE, helping Hikari just so she can nearly snap her neck, slightly bored her. So instead of listening to Hikari's constant complaints and suggestions on how 'she should keep her spirit up', she turned to look at how everyone else was doing it. But, just when she turned, she didn't like what she saw.

There was Gabrielle and Yoh. Yoh grabbing her waist, and Gabrielle giggling and trying her best, though the attempts were horrible. "Don't worry, you'll do better next time." Yoh reassured Gabrielle, his smirk plastered on his porcelain face. So much for his little promise to never do it again! I understand that they have to be together because they were assigned it, but he doesn't have to be so enthusiastic and happy! She thought for a moment. Or maybe I'm just not letting him breathe...

She shook her head. How about she just worry about Hikari and herself? "Alright, Hikari, MY turn to do some stunts." But, once she finished, the bell rang for end of the period. She sighed, walking away to change into her clothes. Walking to her locker, she took off her uniform, stuffed it in her locker, put on her regular clothes, and then headed for the hallway. Walking down it, she saw Yoh walking alone by himself. God, how does he always get to the hallway so fast? Before she knew it, she felt a light tug on her arm as she passed him.

"Anna, I saw when you glanced to me and Gabrielle. I know why you could be upset." He sighed softly, as Anna turned to face his fragile but cheery face. "Please forgive me." She shook her head with a light smile.I mean, all guys flirt a little! She decided to trust him, she decided that she was suffocating him and had to let him out a little. It's not like they were married... yet. "It's alright, Yoh. Don't worry about it." She broke away from his grip and headed down the hallway. All he could do was turn around and watch her walk, slightly confused... but relieved at the same time.
