Chapter 2

A/N: wow.. I haven't updated in forever.. sery!

But its not all my fault, well the point is I'm back after 5 months!

====================================

They walked in unbroken silence. Walking under cherry trees, Anna stopped.

Yoh stopped as well when he heard that only one pair of feet was clicking against the pavement.

He turned around to find his fiance tilting her head up towards the falling blossoms, he watched her medium length blonde hair slide down her bare shoulders.

"They are pretty aren't they?" Yoh stated.

She quickly glanced down and started walking again.

~~~~~~~ Anna POV~~~~~~~~~~~~

'The scenery's nice, maybe it won't be so bad over here.'

She listened to the rhythm of her sandals hitting the sidewalk pavement.

I'When I'm done here, I think I'll visit once or twice.'/I

~~~~~~~~Yoh POV~~~~~~~~~

I'I have a feeling she isn't much of an airhead, but that might be a bad thing.'/I

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The 2 reached Yoh's home.

Anna dropped her bag on the porch.

"I'm going for a walk," she stated blunt and dry.

Yoh seemed a bit fazed by the statement but let it pass.

He watched her walk into the distance.

"Amidamaru, do me a favor, and keep an eye on her?" he asked, settling himself down on the couch.

"Certainly, Master Yoh." The spirit wandered off after her.

~~~~~Anna ~~~~~

She found herself passing a graveyard's gates she walked in the entrance and closed the gate door with a creak, only a door with un-oiled hinges can make.

It wasn't before long she came across a nice spot atop a hill. She sat on the hill in pure contemplation.

It was then that she felt a tap on her shoulder.

She twitched, and turned her head slightly to the one who dared interrupt her atop the hill.

She stared into the brown eyes of a long-haired stranger.

i'I didn't sense him at all..'I'Is that.. Yoh.'/I

"My name is Hao." He bowed in a somewhat mocking matter, that Anna didn't like one bit.

She sat silently with an annoyed expression.

"Mind if I join you?" he asked as he sat next to her.

"In fact I do, so don't think ab-"

The stranger stopped her sentence putting a finger on her mouth, her cheeks flushed a foreign hue of red.

He leaned over dangerously close, close enough for her to feel the heat of his breath upon her cheek as he whispered.

"I think you would have been more polite as to introduce yourself, Itako."

She raised her hand in a reflex slap, but found her wrist locked in an iron- strong grip.

I'My wrist feels like it's burning.'/i she thought in well-concealed pain.

He let go of her wrist gingerly.

"I hope the next time we meet Itako, you shall be more friendly." He stood grinning as he left Anna alone to unanswered thoughts.

~~~~~~Amidamaru~~~~~~~

Amidamaru had watched over Anna in a tree there for the whole time.

'An itako..' he thought.

His chain of thought was disrupted by the clacking of beads whooshing through the tree leaves toward him at break-neck speed.

The beads tied him making him lose his balance with a..

-THUD-

he fell to the ground looking up at a rather angry Itako.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Anna stood over him with a look of annoyed disgust.

"Respect my privacy next time or you'll regret it." She uttered in a deathly cold tone.

Amidamaru nodded with his head down like a scolded child.

She turned to leave, and halted.

"Not a word of this to Yoh, do you understand?"

He nodded, and watched her fade in the slope of her downhill trek.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Atop a gravestone a young Ainu boy sat smiling.

"Looks like Yoh's gonna have a hard time getting rid of this one."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In blinding fury she ran back to the direction of the house.. or what she thought was the direction of the house 0.0
