Revised: Sorry. It has definitely been a while. Gomen! I rather revise these chapters than finish them. Since it's summer, I'll try my best to hurry up my revisions. They won't be perfect but they'll have to do.

Disclaimer: I do not own Shaman King. I wish I owned a Yoh plushie though, but unfortunately there's not a sight of it in my house.


Chapter 1: Goodbyes Can Be Short

"Yoh, wake up!" Anna shouted at Yoh impatiently.

"What is it? Is it already time to go to school?" Yoh asked calmly, still in bed. He heard a sigh from his fiance.

"It's not about school. I have something important to tell you. My mom wants me to go back home," Anna replied in her usual icy tone, glaring at the blankets that Yoh refused to leave behind.

"Oh, why does your mother want you to go back?" Yoh asked, trying to figure out if Anna was kidding around, but everyone knows that Anna does not kid around. Period.

"My clumsy dad tripped over a rock and suffered extreme damages on his head. My mom thinks I should be in the hospital with him in case he dies. Anymore questions?" Yoh turned over on his bed to face Anna. For a while, he thought his fiance looked sad, but then again, it might be the light playing tricks on him. Yoh noticed that Anna was, as usual, impatiently tapping her foot against the floor, waiting to leave.

"No, but I do want to say that I think going back is the best choice," Yoh replied, smiling.

"Right. Well, goodbye." Anna picked up her black, relatively light suitcase and left the house.


Author's Notes:
