Yay! Updated! Read and enjoy. And thanks ALOT to the people who reviewed.
Yoh stepped into the car and backed into the street from his driveway. The sun shone and there was a slight wind... Yoh just thought it was a nice day to go out for a drive.
Today, I'll go to the mountians to see how much the leaves have changed. He thought, smiling. It was autumn and the leaves were now brilliant shades of red, yellow. and orange. You could look at a tree and mistake it for the sunset. It was breathtaking. The only problem was, there werent that many trees in his neighborhood. This thought brought him to the reason why he was going to the mountains.
Every autumn, he would take his friends to the mountains along with him. They would spend a full day there and have a wonderful time, just sitting on the grass and looking at the trees. It was always nice to be surrounded by friends but today, Yoh needed the time alone, away from all the noise and bustling. The more he thought about it, he realized that he didn't want to go to the mountains just to look at the leaves, he wanted to remember. In other words, there was plenty more that happened before in the earlier visits to the mountains, other than just sitting and watching the leaves. Things, good things that happened between him, and Anna.
Yoh remembered the first time he had taken everyone into the mountains. It had been a good 4 years ago, but it was still as clear as the blue sky in his mind. The memory came to him as he cleared of the hustle of the city and into the more natural side of Japan.
Flashback
"Anna." Yoh whispered, laying a hand on her shoulder. The said person turned around. Even dressed simply in just shirt, jeans, sweater, and a hat, she was beautiful. The wind had swept her golden hair from her hair and gave everyone a clear view of her deep brown eyes, rosy cheeks, and faint pink lips. Yoh just stood, looking, no, admiring her until he was given a sharp slap. Grinning sheepishly, he apologized and took her hand. Anna turned a faint pink but showed no other emotion. Yoh's grin turned into a smile. "Let's take a walk, ne? I feel a bit restless, just sitting here." Anna blinked and raised an eyebrow. Almost playfully, she nudged him. "Restless, you? Heh, don't lie, Asakura Yoh." Yoh looked surprised for a moment, then cocked his head and shrugged, his eyes sparkling with amusement. "Ok, not restless. But will you take a walk with me?" Anna considered the idea for a while then nodded. "As long as we make it short." she decided. Yoh nodded back. "Hai." Giving her hand a slight squeeze, he pulled her away, slipping away without anyone noticing.
The dry leaves crunched soothingly under their feet as the two began their walk. One might have considered it to be very silent, but the forest they were in was bursting with sound. A breeze stirred, and the wind whistled as it was blown through many trees. Once in a while, something rustled in the leaves above them and birds chirped overhead in flocks, no doubt getting ready to migrate. As they walked deeper into the forest hand in hand, a slight trickling was heard, growing louder by each step. Walking a few ways more, the two finally came to a miniature waterfall, the water blue, clear, and shining.
"Anna?" Yoh asked, to be recieved with silence. Glancing at her, he saw that she was staring at the scene before them, a soft look in her eyes, almost vulnerable. All of a sudden, Yoh had an urge to do something, perhaps take advantage of this rare moment. Leaning in, he wrapped his arms around Anna's body, ignoring how she was trying to shift away. Finally, she stopped moving and leaned against him, her face a deep shade of red.
There was a moment of silence, each absorbed in their own thoughts. Breaking the quiet, Yoh spoke. "Anna." he whispered, his voice gentle, quiet, and demanding all at the same time. Anna turned her head to face Yoh, eyes widening when Yoh leaned in. After swallowing nervously, she closed her eyes and felt something soft brush against her lips.
First Kiss.
Anna felt her knees weaken and staggered back, not realizing that she was dangerously close to the water's edge...
With a splash, Anna and Yoh stumbled into the cold water.
End Flashback
Yoh's eyes clouded over. Did that mean anything, Anna? He asked in his head. A mix of many different emotions swept over Yoh and for a moment, he forgot that he was driving.
A sudden scream brought him to his senses and he slammed down on the brakes, his body jerking forward. Then everything was still.
OoOoOo a cliffy! Read and review, pleese?
