I Wanna Be Bad
Chapter 9
===Can't Get You Out Of My Head...===
It was the day after Yoh and the gang's escapade to save Anna, and Anna had awakened early that morning, and had spent numerous hours in front of the mirror of her vanity, staring at her reflection, wondering if this really was her, if what the gang of "kidnappers" had said about Hao was true. Did he kidnap her? If so, why? Did she really love this boy Yoh, who, for some strange reason, made her heart race? She wasn't sure, but didn't doubt it, as to the fact that they had all come to get her. "You must ignore them." said Hao earlier. "They are very cunniving. They'll say and do anything to take you away from me."
Anna wasn't sure if he was telling the truth, heck, she didn't know what was real or not. All she knew is that there was something inside her that made her feel something for the intruders who had come to "rescue" her last night. Whatever the feeling was, she didn't know. Where it had came from, she had no clue. All in all, it was very upsetting, not to mention annoying, especially because of the fact that Yoh had been running through her mind non-stop.
She sighed, laying on her side on the bed, Hao relaxing on his back beside her.It was mid-afternoon now, and even as she carefully peeled the skin from an apple with a knife, her thoughts were focused upon Yoh. ...I just can't get you out of my head... she thought, her imagination taking flight, or at least she thought it was her imagination. He mind said yes, her heart said no. It was more like ...a memory... she thought, thinking of her and Yoh sharing a kiss, the mear thought making her blush. She sighed again, getting Hao's attention, him in turn, opening one eye to look at her.
"Is something wrong?" he asked. Anna looked to him, beginning to cut the apple into slices. "Nothing..." she replied softly, offering him a peice of the apple. He took it, eating it slowly, sensing that his Charm hadn't done too good of a job on Anna's memories. She seemed to be doubting who he had made her and why she was here. He also knew that she was thinking of Yoh, knew not because of her actions, tone, and manner, but also by her body language. She wasn't coming onto him at all, not that she did, but normally she would be clingy. Today, she was keeping herself distant from him, seemed to be avoiding eye contact and touch.
Hao sighed some, annoyed. ...and that thing claimed to completely change a person's memories and personality... he frowned some, thinking about sueing the damn maker for false advertising. He smirked afterwards, finding the fact that sueing a charm maker for false advertising was really quite amusing. He then turned his attention back on Anna, who continued to slowly slice the apple. She took a small peice to her lips, slowly eating it, staring at the ground, her mind somewhere else. Hao emitted a soft sigh, closing his eyes. He wondered if this is how she acted with Yoh, though that day in the park convinced him otherwise. However, at the momnet, all her wanted was to keep her mind off Yoh and on himself.
He looked to her again, clearing his throat some. Anna blinked some, then looked to him, her cheeks burning. "I'm sorry..." she said, lowering her eyes, knew she had been caught thinking about Yoh. He smiled some, as she set the apple down on the small dresses beside the bed. He sat up then, scooting back so that his back was leaning up against the headboard of the bed. He opend his arms to her, her slidding into them. He smiled, feeling the pressure of her head on his chest and her body close to his. He rubbed her back with one had, stroking her hair with the other.
Anna closed her eyes, and for a moment, thought she was with Yoh. ...Yoh... she thought, opening her eyes slowly, only to stare upon Hao. He smiled at her, her giving him an expressionless look. He closed his eyes, resting his chin atop her head. "You seem troubled." he said. Anna didn't answer, only stared off, once again thinking of Yoh. Hao stared at the distant wall, unsure of what to say or do. He was getting annoyed now, very annoyed and that wasn't good. He went to get up, Anna drawing back from him. He swung his legs over the side of the bed, then stood, stretching as he did. He walked to the window on the far side of the room, staring out it into nothign-ness. The think forest outside made it difficult for sunlight to reach the castle. Hao didn't care too much though, he kinda liked the darknes. It was so dark and mysterious, so much like him.
Anna looked to him from the bed, sitting in the middle of it, her kness drawn out to the side, much of her upper thigh and hip showing in her revealing black dress. She stared at the floor some, thinking again, only looking to Hao when he spoke. "They're coming back tonight..." he said softly. Anna nodded some, staring at him silently. Hao looked to her, studied her, saw that she was wearing another blank expression. ...no matter... he thought, smirking. He walked to her, kneeling before her on the floor beside the bed. He took her hands in his, holding them tight. "Anna, they will come to take you from me..." he said, a sad expression on his face. Anna tilted her head some, listening to him.
Hao smirked mentally, knowing how to get her to forget Yoh and stay with him. "Anna, marry me and I will make you the most powerful queen in the world, more powerful then anything Yoh could ever dream of making you." Anna blinked, shocked at his proposal. "Hao.." she said softly. He smiled to her, stroking the back of her hands with his thumb some. "Be my shaman queen..." he whispered softly. Anna blushed birghtly, still shocked, but nodded her head. "Yes..." Hao smiled widder, kissing the front of her hands softly. "We shall wed tonight, when the rest of the party arrives." She nodded, agreeing with him. He then stood, stroking her hair some, smiling to her, amazed at how easily one's heart could be manipulated.
He then bowed to her, a wicked smile on his lips. "I have a few things I must attend to. Please escuse me, my queen." he said, then leaned to her, softly kissing her on the cheek. Anna closed her eyes as he did, blushing still, then watched as he walked around the bed, opened the door slowly and winked to her, exiting the room. For a while she stared at the door, thinking about what had just taken place, the realization that she had agreed to marry the person who supossedly just kidnapped her sinking in. ...oh well... she thought, standing now.
She walked the short distance to the window, looking out it. She saw only darkness, sighing deelpy. She liked the sun for some reason, and seemed to have forgotten how it felt. It upsetted her how thick the foilage of the forest was, how the sun was unable to penetrate through it and reach the castle. She countinued to stare into the dark, seeing what seemed to be a small area of sun in the distance. She tilted her head some, he mind fluttering off again. Even with the thought of marriage to Hao on her mind, even the darkness of the forest and trees, and the thought of the others coming to get her again, Anna couln't keep her mind off Yoh, not matter how hard she tried.
(Woot, another chappy. I feel so special! I hope you like this chapter, i basically wrote this chapter to give the readers a sense of Anna's loyalty and love for Yoh and how she would interact with Hao. I know, there wasn't much fighting and whatnot, but there will be in the next chapter! I promise. Also, There will be 3 more chapters for this story. I feel another 3 chapters will sum it all up and end it fine. I'll then work on another sequel called "When I See You Smile." I'm going to put my other sequal to this, "For The Sake Of My Beloved" on hold, because it's going to be very shocking, at least i think it will be I'm just saving the best for last XD But, yeah, im done rambling for now, please keep reading and reviewing and thank you all who have read and reviewed Please enjoy this chapter and the next 2. -Melis)
