Pure Snow

Author's Note: Chapter 4! w00t! This fic is so easy to write! ::sobs happily:: I'm so happy....I plan to finish typing all the chapters so I don't forget anything.....Anyway, chapter 4! This is a big Yohna chapter......lots o' fluff. And Anna really shows feelings! Well, I guess the only person who she can express herself to is Yoh.....at least in here it is.

Disclaimer: Don't you people get it by now?

Chapter 4: I know I won't buy anything, but I still pick things out occasionally.
That one little thing that floated past her face.....a cherry blossom.

This.......I gotta find Yoh.....

Anna stopped and looked at Hao. "I'm sorry, I just gotta find Yoh...." Hao only smiled. The worried girl turned around and dashed off. Hao just stood there smirking, watching Anna run out of his sight. "Just a little more time....."

Meanwhile, Anna ran. She ran as fast as her heart raced. She never felt like this before. Anna felt......scared. She ran past company buildings, restaurants, shoe stores, etc. When Anna came across a wedding dress store she stopped and gazed upon the glass window. Looking upon her reflection she saw her, wearing a beautifully designed, pearl white, glittery dress. She sighed, "Hopefully I'll get to wear something like this.....someday...."

Yoh.....

"Yoh!" Anna remembered what she was doing. She continued to run to Yoh. After a few more miles she reached the point that she'd pass out if she didn't stop and rest. The only words that ran in her mind were, "almost there. A few more feet!"

Finally, reaching upon the gate, she jumped over it and looked for Yoh. Anna walked over to Yoh's favorite spot, where Amidamaru's grave was. And there, leaned against the tree was Yoh. Nearly collapsing from exhaustion, Anna walked over to her laid back fiancé.

Yoh heard footsteps from behind him. He turned around to see Anna standing there, looking like she was about to drop dead any moment. He jumped up to aid his semi-lover. "Anna, are you alright?!" Anna only glanced at Yoh before slapping him across the face, sending him flying. After Yoh hit the ground, he put his hand on his cheek, covering the slap mark. Anna only sighed and collapsed on the grass.

"I was......worried...."

"...Anna?"

"I still don't trust him.....when he said you were alright with that look on his face.......I panicked...." Anna was starring at the grass. "And the......."

"?"

"....nevermind....it's not important...."

It was strange.......everytime I'm with Hao....there's always a scent.....a sweet scent....and that stupid cherry blossom.....it's just like....like....

"The will of the Great Spirits...." Anna whispered.

"What was that?" Yoh tilted his head to the right.

"nothing..."

I can't tell Yoh about the message on the oracle bell......not yet...not until I know what this is really about....

"Anna......ever since Hao came...you've never really been.....yourself....are you ok?"

"No.....I'm....I'm scared....." Anna didn't move; her eyes were focused on the grass.

"Of what? You can tell me anything."

"I don't know....."

No....not yet.....

Yoh looked at Anna, who looked like she was about to crack. He tired to think of some way of comforting her without getting slapped again. But in her state, she seemed vulnerable enough to take that chance. Yoh moved close to Anna and gently wrapped his arms around her fragile body. Pulling her closer to him, he gently embraced her. Yoh stroked his hand through her hair. Her head rested on her warm chest.

He's so......warm.....but there's no scent....

"Yoh......"

"Hmm?" His eyes were closed as he continued to stroke her hair.

"I.......thank you."

This feeling......it surpasses the scent by miles.....

Anna's hands wrapped around Yoh's waist and embraced him back. She moved her head up and looked in his sweet dark eyes, which met with hers. Both of their faces moved close to each other.

What am I doing?

Anna came back to her senses and before their lips touched she slapped Yoh across the face again. Although, not as hard as the first. She stood up and dusted herself off. "Well, let's go home, it's getting late and Hao probably made dinner already. Yoh rubbed his cheek and started to follow Anna.

At the Asakura house....

Anna completely avoided contact with Hao for the rest of the evening. At dinner, she was as silent as a deaf child who can't see eye-to-eye. After that she took a bath she went straight to her room. Hao and Yoh went into the bath after Anna. Yoh looked at his reflection in the water. "I'm worried....about Anna."

"What wrong with her?"

"She's not acting like herself.....it's like....."

Hao smirked and rested his face on his palm and his elbow on a rock. "So she didn't tell you....."

"?"

"The whole reason I came here...."

Yoh's expression went from confused to somewhat angry, "So, your purpose for coming here isn't just for the heck of it then."

"You can see for yourself.....as for me, I'm going to bed." Hao got out and threw on a yukata. He left, leaving Yoh alone. After a few minutes he got out also. Throwing on a yukata he went upstairs and to his room. Opening the door, not disturbing the other two and he closed it behind him slowly. Yoh walked to the middle of the room. Thinking if anything was different since Hao came. He listened closely for anything. Yoh walked over to his closet and opened it.

He heard nothing.

"The oracle bell?" Yoh searched through the closet and then pulled out his oracle bell.

"It's not ringing.....I wonder....." He fumbled with it. "Nothing's happening....." Yoh put the oracle bell away and closed his closet. He leaned on the closet door and sunk down to the ground and just sat there. He tilted his head back.

"Anna...."
"Those will look good on you"... What am I saying?
