Chapter 1- The message
Ring ring
Manta: What was that?
Anna: The phone, baka.
Pirika: I'll get it.
Pirika grabs the phone.
Pirika: Hello? Hai. Hai hold on.
Pirika covers the reciever.
Pirika: Anna, it's for you.
Anna stands and takes the phone from Pirika.
Anna: Hai? Kino-sensai? Hai... Nani? ....Hai sensai.
Anna looked down and hung up the phone.
Yoh: Anna.....?
Anna: ....Everyone needs to keep the house clean. No acceptions. Especially with you Horohoro. My... my mother is coming in 3 days. That means everyone has to help. Even me. She knows nothing about the people I live with and if she finds out I live with bakas like Horohoro I don't know what she'll do. I'm going to my room.
Once Anna was put of sight, the conversations automatically began.
Manta: Anna's mother?
Yoh: Yeah. I've never seen her before. Anna hasn't ever seen much of her either. My grandma raised her.
Pirika: Wow, I wonder what she'll expect of Anna. You know? A slob? A perfect girly girl? Maybe even a little girl. How are we to know?
Horohoro: So I can't make a mess???
All: NO!
Ren: I don't see why we all have to be perfect for her mother.
Jun: Ren, she doesn't know anything about her mother. She must be a nervous wreck right now.
Lyserg: I thought she was Anna the unbreakable itako.
Manta: Well she can't be so cold all the time. Trust me. I know.
Tamao: Manta's right. Even Miss Anna needs to at least worry somtimes. I think she's built a wall around herself and it's slowly starting to crumble.
Pirika: Maybe... someone should check up on her?
Yoh: I will, just give her some time to think for a while. Anna needs her space.
Meanwhile
Anna: Why is she coming here? What does she want from me? Where was she when I was little? Why did she leave me with Kino? Will she accept Yoh? What does she think I should be like? Does she have other plans for me? Does she have another fiancee for me?
Knock knock
Anna: Yeah?
Yoh: Anna?
Anna: Oh, hi Yoh...
Yoh: Anna? Are you okay? Like... are you worried about seeimg your mom after so long?
Anna: ......It's not that. It's just that I don't know why. After all this time, why now? What does she want from me? What will she think when she sees me?
Yoh goes over and instictivly hugs Anna.
Yoh: Everything will work out. Why worry about what you can't control?
Anna sighed. He always said that, although it did help.
Yoh: Don't worry about it Anna. You're perfect in all our eyes. If your mom doesn't think so then she has problems.
Anna: Coming from someone I have an arranged marrage with, I don't know weather to honestly believe that.
Yoh: Anna! Come on! If it weren't for you, I'd be dead right now. You're the best! I know you didn't just do that 'cause Grandma told you to. Besides, Manta, Silva and Tamao all told me about talking to you. You don't have to be so secretive Anna. You don't have to be strong all the time. Even when you are, I guess that's just part of what makes you Anna. I do... I do love you Anna. No matter what your mom thinks of you.
Yoh turns to leave.
Anna: Yoh,
Yoh looks at her.
Anna: ...thanks.
Yoh: You're welcome Anna.
