I Wanna Be Bad
Chapter: 4
===I'm Here...For You...===
Part: 1

Yoh was first to wake up, yawning some as he rubbed his still weary eyes. He blinked, staring wide eyed at Anna, who lay sleeping beside him, her back facing him. For a moment, he was sure he was dreaming, but then remembered what had happened last night. He smiled, lightly brushing her soft blonde hair. He was glad she had been able to get some rest, it upsetted and worried him greatly to see her so frightened. He blinked some, still stroking her hair. ...Why does Hao want Anna anyway...? he thought, his only answering being that he would use her to blackmail Yoh into forfiting the Shaman Tournament.

Yoh sighed some, knowing he would without hesitation, especially if it came down to Hao hurting Anna. He'd do anything to protect her, and if losing the Shaman King Tournament would keep Hao at bay, he would do it. He sighed deeply, closing his eyes, then opend them, staring at Anna, who had turned now, on her side facing him. She slowly opened her eyes, making eye contact with Yoh. He smiled sweetly at her, her doing the same to him."Hey..." he said softly. Anna closed her eyes for a moment, then looked to him again. "Hey..." she replied. He noticed she was blushing, this causing him to smile. ...she's so cute when she blushes... he thought. She slowly moved her hand to him, running it through his shoulder lenght black hair.

Yoh smiled closing his eyes. He loved when she did this, it felt so good and made him feel so relaxed. She smiled, continuing to run her hands through his hair, a sea of black silk. She closed her eyes again, sighing slightly. "Thank you for letting me stay with you." she said. Yoh smiled looking to her now, lightly taking her hands in his. She looked to him, smiling some. "I didn't mind." he began. "I'm just glad that I was able to help you." She smiled sadly, staring into his eyes. He smiled back, glad he was able to be with her so early in the morning.

He drew her close to him now, embracing her tightly. She smiled, resting her head against his chest. "I love you." he said softly. She smiled playfully, replying. "Say it again..." Yoh laughed lightly, saying in the same manner. "I love you." she smiled, rubbing his back lightly. "I love you too....I always will..." she replied, closing her eyes again. Yoh smiled, glad to hear her say that. He was so happy to be with her, she was one of a kind, and one he never wanted to lose, not ever. He closed his eyes, still stroking her hair, her laying her head softly against his chest, listening to his heartbeat, the rythem slow and steady.

After a while, Anna looked to the window, a slight chill running up her back. Yoh blinked some, rubbing her back lightly. "Are you cold?" he asked. She shook her head. "No..." she said softly, still staring out the window. Yoh followed her line of site, frowning some. He smiled then, lightly turning her head to him, lifting her chin some. She blinked, letting him and closed her eyes as his lips lightly brushed against hers. She blushed deeply, axntiously antisapating his kiss. He smiled as he leaned to her, the two sharing a soft kiss. Anna moved her arms up, wrapping them around his neck, as his arms slipped around her slender waist.

The kiss ended, the two still embracing. Yoh closed his eyes, having a bad feeling. "I feel it too..." said Anna softly. He looked to her. "I don't want to leave you today..." he said. She shook her head. "I'll be fine." she said, trying to assure him. He sighed, her doing the same. She stood then, walking to the window. Yoh sat up in his bed, watching her walk about the room now. "I know you're still worried about him....about what he said last night..." began Yoh, Anna flashing him an angry look. "Come on Anna, don't get mad..." he said. She sighed. "I've no reason to fear him." she replied firmly. Yoh sighed again, slightly annoyed. "Ever if that's ture, what if he decides to pay you a visit today while I'm gone? Then what?" he asked, Anna shrugging some. "Please don't do that..." he said, shaking his head. "What do you want me to do Yoh?" she asked, her tone annoyed. "I want you to let me stick around." he replied. She looked to the window, at the now clear blue sky. "Whatever happens...happens." she said. Yoh looked to her angrily, getting to his feet. "No!" he said. Anna looked to him. "There's nothing we can do..." replied Anna, her face expresionless again. ...God, not that look again... he thought, his anger and fustration rising. "You're destined to be Shaman King Yoh, and regaurdless of what happens to me, you need to carry on and participate in the tournament." "No damn it!" he yelled, Anna watching him. He walked to her, his pace fast, fuled by his fustrations. She stared deep into his eyes, her expresionless look turning to that of a sad one. Yoh looked back the same, getting on his knees. "Anna, don't you understand?" he asked softly, Anna watching him still.

He stared into her eyes, tears threatning to fall any moment. "I don't want to be Shaman King...if you're not there by my side..." She looked to him sadly, her own eyes filling with tears. "You're everything to me Anna, and I want you to be with me every step of the way." she was about to speak, but he shook his head, continuing. "You're my destined Queen, you're the one I want there to congradulate me as I win the tournament. I want to spend my life with you Anna, because a lifetime without you, heh being the Shaman King without you as my Queen...is a life without meaning." Anna looked to him now, crying some. "Yoh..." she said softly, him smiling as he reached back into the pocket of his pants that lay on the floor.

...ok, i've practiced this a million times... he thought. ...all I have to say is 'Anna, will you marry me...?'" Anna continued to stare at him, still crying lightly. "I love you Anna." She smiled, getting on her knees as well, and hugged him tight. "I love you too..." Yoh sighed, unable to find the ring remembering that Morty had hid it, also noting that the moment was gone, so in turn, hugged her back. "I'm going to go to my room and change now." she said and he nodded. Yoh leaned foward, softly kissing her on her cheek, her doing the same to him, and without further ado, she stood and exited his room, making her way back to hers where she stripped off her white T-shirt and black shorts and slipped into her short black dress, fixing her beads accordingly.

It was mid-afternoon and was almost as dark as night out. It seemed a massive thunderstorm was coming to town, looking to be worse then the one the night before. Anna sighed, leaning back against the small island in the middle of the kitchen. She was a good three feet from the sink area and window that allowed her to look outside. She was reading a book again, though every now and then looked up and out the window so she could see if Trey and Ryo were trainning and also to take a glimpse at Morty who was sweeping away at the porch area.

Anna then returned her eyes to her book, speed reading over all the information, her brain and eyes only trying to find the main points and highlights...then she stopped, slowly lowering the book. Something was wrong...she had just got a really bad vibe. She glanced around some, heard and saw nothing, but the empty area of the kitchen. she then looked to the window, saw the others doing as she had assigned them to. She tilted her head some, feeling a strange urge to walk closer to the window, like someone or soemthing was calling or drawing her to it. She pushed herself from the island, taking a few steps towards the window and blinked in sudden shock.

Hao stood before her now, smirking. She stummbled back some, catching herself, a very short distance between her and him. He smiled lightly, leaping up some so that her was now sitting on the edge of the sink, his right elbow resting on his right knee, his chin resting in his right hand, while his left arm hung over his left knee. He smiled at her, at her sudden panic, that he found to not only be entertaining, but sexy in a way, since she was now breathing somewhat heavily and sweating lightly. "I told you I was gonna come for you..." he said. She glared at him, her eyes narrowed, giving him a cold, angry stare.

He smirked, rasing his left hand and running it through his long black hair. Anna continued to give him the cold look, not sure what she should do, then glancing out the window some, saw the others trainning. "Don't bother calling them." said Hao, sighing slightly, as if he were bored. "They wouldn't even be worth my time." he said, then stretched. Anna looked back to him, now givng him that expressionless look. He smiled, getting to his feet, him standing a good foot and a half taller then her. She looked to him, stepping back some. "What do you want Hao?" she asked. Hao smirked, looking her over. "Isn't it obvious?" he asked, then smiled wide. "I'm here...for you..."
