This shall be an -evilly- INTERESTING chapter. Hopefully. Anna will be OOC because she got TAMAO'S personality when Silva cast the spell-thingy, therefore she's all timid and shy and...yeah. Sorry if this chapter isn't too good, I'm having a bit of writer's block today...er, I noticed a lot of people put me in their favorites but don't review. . whazzyourproblem? Oh well. IN YOUR REVIEWS VOTE IF YOU WANT THIS TO TURN OUT LYSERG/JEANNE OR HAO/JEANNE. VOTE YOU FOOLS. Another thing, Yoh and Anna are terrible cooks and couldn't make toast for their lives. Forgot if that's actually true or not, but -shrugs- yare yare. Thank you, Illumina, itako no shaman, caro, me, and YamiandAnzu4ever (I like that pairing too! my friends don't though .) for reviewing! I think...this chapter might not make much sense, or be that good, but bear with me. PLEASE. AND REVIEW, FOR PALADINE'S SAKE.

Chapter Two: Day One: Anna's Difference

-

-

Yoh sighed and ran his hand through his short black locks. He was bored. Very bored, as none of the girls had woken up, Amidamaru was "sleeping" (if that's possible for a spirit), and apparently Hao hadn't blown anything up yet (at least, no one had found out that he'd blown something up).

-

-

He was never bored like this. Usually, he could just click on his cassette player, go outside on the bridge, and stare out into the water for hours and not get tired. But Faust had given him such a freaky blue-eyelidded stare that Yoh didn't dare leave the girls alone for a second.

-

-

Leaning against the doorframe of the girls' bedroom, Yoh folded his arms across his chest and looked from the window, to the hallway, to Anna, to a lamp, to the floor, to Harusame, to Anna again, to the ceiling, to Anna, to--

-

-

Yoh started. Anna had sat up in her bed, stretching and staring around her curiously in a very un-Anna way. It reminds me of Tamao, Yoh thought, but WHY?

-

-

Dismissing the thought quickly, the shaman rushed over to Anna's side. "Anna?" he asked urgently. "Are you all right?"

-

-

Anna looked him right in the face and--what?--she blushed. Yoh felt like fainting, but if Anna ever told Ren, Yoh'd be teased to oblivion and back. Plus, it was out of character of him to faint, so he decided to remain conscious and instead planted his usual carefree smile on his face.

-

-

"Y-yoh-kun," Anna whispered, hooking a short tress of blond behind her ear shyly. "Anou...what are you doing here?" Her black eyes darted from side to side. "Where am I...?" (1)

-

-

Yoh was honestly scared by now. Either, she was just faking it, and using her charm so he'd run an extra nine miles of her training or something like that, or the crash had done something to her head.

-

-

"It's a strange spell...a kind of "soul-switching" spell." (2)

-

-

It all came together now. Yoh sat down next to Anna, looking up at the ceiling again. Anna had gotten Tamao's personality, and heavens know where Anna's own had gone. Maybe it was in Tamao. Yoh shuddered to think of how Tamao would act. But then...Tamao liked him, and if Anna had Tamao's personality Anna should like him! This could work to his advantage...wait, was he actually thinking about that stuff?!

-

-

Ignoring his Yoh- side and Hao- :) side fighting mentally in his brain, Yoh took Anna's hand and smiled gently. "You got in an...accident, and Faust brought you here. You'll have to stay here for the weekend, Anna-chan. So, do you remember anything from the accident?"

-

-

Anna flushed at contact with him. "I-iie," she stammered quickly. "Arigatou for your kindness, Yoh-kun...is there anyway I can help?" (3)

-

-

Yoh thought for a while, then grinned. "Well, you could cook."

-

-

------

-

-

Usually, that would be a very bad idea, asking Anna to cook. But Yoh was actually getting smart. As Tamao was a good cook, Yoh figured Anna would be, with Tamao's personality...and it turned out he was right. For once, anyway.

-

-

Even Yoh was surprised. Anna was happily cooking, and doing it well. Once again leaning against the doorframe, the twin shaman observed the itako thoughtfully. She's smiling, and HUMMING, and being civil...this is freaky...

-

-

(WARNING: CHEESE AND FLUFF AND...STEREOTYPICALNESS AND YOHNA. CHANCE OF CLOGGING BRAIN FOREVER. BEWARE.)

-

-

Turning to get something from the refrigerator, Anna stepped forward and immediately slipped on some melted ice that had been magicked into the Shaman world by a Mysterious Entity (aka author -bows-). She fell, inevitably, into Yoh's arms.

-

-

Yoh instinctively wrapped his arms around her while Anna instinctively put her head on his shoulder. (Instincts rock, don't they?)

-

-

'She's warm...'

-

-

Yoh looked at the fainted itako in his arms bemusedly. Hao had defeated her in a battle, and left her with Yoh. "She's warm."

-

-

Hao, who had been heading out of the room, paused and laughed, almost harshly. "What did you think? She was made of ice? Marble, perhaps?"

-

-

Yoh brushed some stray hairs from Anna's face. "Maybe I did...maybe I did..."

-

-

Hao once again stopped from leaving the room and turned around to look at Yoh. In that moment, the powerful shaman realised something. 'He loves her.'

-

-

'And she would never love me...'

-

-

Turning abruptly again, the older twin Asakura walked out the door, saying over his shoulder coldly before leaving, "I will defeat you, Asakura Yoh." Ignoring the earnest looks of his Hanagumi, he stormed away.

-

-

Yoh stared after him, still holding the limp itako in his arms.

-

-

'...What'd I do?...' (please insert a sweatdrop here.)

-

-

Yoh shook the thoughts from his head and hastily let go of Anna, who was turning a very, very red. Still blushing, she mumbled "Gomen" and, trembling slightly, returned to cooking. (4)

-

-

Yoh also returned to his post at the doorway, once more pondering the sanity of it all.

-

End Chapter

OH PALADINE I HATE THIS CHAPTER. I sucked beyond all reasoning...sucked beyond the Abyss...the only -remotely- good part of it was the Anna-falling-into-Yoh's-arms part, and I don't think that's really good either. -gags- I apologise for the crappiness in the material of the chapter. I'LL MAKE IT UP TO YOU. NOW REMEMBER TO VOTE/REVIEW/BOTH. Ja.

(1)"Y-yoh-kun," Anna whispered, hooking a short tress of blond behind her ear shyly. "Anou...what are you doing here?" Her black eyes darted from side to side. "Where am I...?" Freaky, ne? -shudders a bit- I freak myself out sometimes too. She's like that because of the personality thingy. YEAH.

(2) "It's a strange spell...a kind of "soul-switching" spell." If you remember, Faust VIII said that in the last chapter.

(3) Anna flushed at contact with him. "I-iie," she stammered quickly. "Arigatou for your kindness, Yoh-kun...is there anyway I can help?" Iieno; Arigatouthank you

(4) Still blushing, she mumbled "Gomen" and, trembling slightly, returned to cooking. Gomensorry

Oh yeah, and the italic-ed part, where Hao said he would beat Yoh, was a flashback for your information. Just telling. (Or maybe trying to make this longer. x.x)
