Pure Snow

Author's Note: Chapter 6! :D I'm getting closer to chapter 9! Which is my checkpoint! Plus, my favorite part that I've had in my head will happen in chapter 9.... But I'll never tell what it is. You just have to wait and see for yourselves! Well, I'm stoned listening to Linkin Park songs while typing these. God, I'll be brain-dead by the time school starts again.....

Disclaimer: Leave me alone already! ::gonk::

Chapter 6:

I guess I can't help it. Go ahead, it's fine even if you laugh at me,
"Hey Yoh......do you think it'll snow?"

Yoh glanced at Anna, who was still focused on the dark sky above. Yoh looked back forward. "Maybe. It has been getting colder by the day." He knew that Anna adored the snow. He remembered when they were kids and Anna would pummel him in snowballs. And Tamao would try and stop Anna without hurting her, or getting herself hurt. Yeah....those were the good days.

Anna came back down to earth. She looked around and saw that this was the same part of town where she ran through, looking for Yoh. This meant she once again came across the wedding dress store. She stopped and looked through the glass window. Yoh glanced beside him and saw that Anna wasn't there. He turned around and saw her gazing into the window.

"Anna?"

"These dresses are pretty...." she sighed. "I'm coming."

She caught up with Yoh. The two eventually walked around town and made it back to the house. "Hao! We left him here......" Yoh remembered. Anna shrugged, she could care less. The two walked though the paper doors and hung up there hats and coats. "Hao! We're home!" Yoh shouted. "Forget it, he's not home." said Anna, pulling off her last boot.

"Hmmm.....wonder where he went." Yoh pondered. Anna walked into the kitchen and looked around, hoping Hao left something out to eat. All there was was a note. She walked to it and read it silently.

Went out for a bit, food in the refrigerator.

-Hao

Anna snarled she always knew Hao was a man of little words. She opened the refrigerator and pulled out some chicken teriyaki and warmed it up in the microwave. Yoh stepped into the kitchen, smelling the teriyaki. "So he's out?"

"Yeah....food's in the refrigerator so help yourself."

Yoh walked to the fridge a randomly pulled out a wrapped bowl. He warm it up in the microwave and sat down across from Anna. Unwrapping the plastic wrap he dug in and ate the food in the bowl in a matter of seconds. Anna just watched him. Her eye was twitching. She knew that Yoh could eat really quickly, but not that quick. After their meal Yoh cleaned up. Anna wanted to be alone so she chased Yoh out of the house.

It's nice to be alone every once and a while....

"Yeah....."

Anna walked around the inn. It really was nice to be alone. She walked into a room and sat down, turning on the TV. She watched some soap operas and eat some pocky. Hearing the wooden paper door open, she just thought it was Yoh, who got too cold to be outside. Anna poked her head out of the room. She saw someone with long dark hair walk towards the stairs.

Anna stepped out of the room and towards the staircase and eyed Hao, crossing her arms. "Hey. Where've you been?" Hao turned around and looked at Anna. "Out." was his only reply. Anna tilted her head. "I see......what's that?" she pointed to a dark green leather cover that hung on Hao's left arm. He looked at the leather covering. "This? It's nothing important right now"

Right now?

"......." Anna said nothing. She eyed the label on the covering and nearly gasped.

Junsei Yuki Wedding Boutique.....

the same place where I saw that dress....

Did Hao........naaahhhh.....

"Alright then....sorry." Anna turned towards the door. She threw on her boots and her coat. "I'm going out for a bit." she said, walking out the door. Hao watched her leave. He sighed. "That was close...." He walked upstairs and into his room. Opening the door and hanging up the covered item on a little hanger above him. Slowly opening the cover he pulled out a small boxed item from a packet inside the covering.

Opening the box, he pulled out a small bottle of perfume and sprayed it on the cloth inside the covering. He sniffed the air and smiled in satisfaction. "This could come in great use later." Hao covered the cloth back up in it's proper covering and hid the perfume bottle in the pocket of the covering. He lifted the thing up and stored it in his closet.

Meanwhile, with Anna.....

Anna walked down the sidewalk towards the wedding boutique. Reaching the shop she looked at the sign on the window.

Junsei Yuki Wedding Boutique....

Looking through the window the dress she admired wasn't there. Anna raised an eyebrow and decided to go inside. Slowly opening the door, she heard a little jingle from a bell. Anna looked around at all the beautiful dress and tuxedos.

A store clerk walked to the girl and smiled at her. "Anything here that interests you?" Anna looked up at the clerk. "I was just browsing."

The store clerk smiled brightly. "Well, if you need anything. Please let me know!" Anna thought for a moment as the clerk turned back to the counter. Anna spoke up. "Actually...."

"Hm?" The clerk turned back at Anna.

"What happened to that one dress that was hanging by the window?" Anna pointed to an empty spot facing the window.

"Oh, that dress. It was bought by a young fellow earlier today. That was out special Sakura Edition. It came with a free bottle of perfume." the clerk walked over to the counter and pulled out a small perfume bottle. "Something like this. Come take a whiff."

Anna walked over to her and allowed the store clerk to spray some on her wrist. She sniffed it. "Cherry blossoms....."

"Yes. It's a very popular spring time item. Which is strange because it's winter."

"I see......thank you." said Anna, walking out the door.

Damn.....everything is so confusing! What the hell is Hao planning?!

Anna walked back home and ran into Yoh on the way. Anna and Yoh walked back home together. The three ate dinner, took their bathes, brushed their teeth, and went to bed. Hopefully school would clear Anna's mind.

at these precious feelings of mine.
ChibiLaryla: Hehehe, forgive me for rushing the ending part. I'm really starting to become a slacker. ::gonk:: Oh yes. And I'm pretty sure that Junsei Yuki means Pure Snow and Sakura means Cherry blossom. Or so it said in this Japanese Dictionary. o.o Any way....I know this will sound silly but....what exactly does AU mean? Please don't laugh!
