Jealousy Having Courage

"Anna you're awake..." Yoh stammered

Anna nodded and looked at Yoh not showing any signs of excitement that she is feeling that moment. She could see Yoh sweating and looking at her rather nervously. It was so hard for her to hide her smile but she managed and she managed perfectly. She became the emotionless itako for a while.

"H-how long have you been a-awake?" asked Yoh nervously as he sat on the floor a little bit farther than where he was a while ago.

"Since "Funny...I'm here again..." until I sat up already." Said Anna simply

"S-s-so you heard it right?" asked Yoh

"Yes. So?" asked Anna

"Uh...Anna...do you...? I mean...do you feel the same way?" asked Yoh not looking directly on Anna's face

Anna looked at him and controlled her feelings successfully.

"Look at me Yoh." Anna said and Yoh looked at her

"Now, tell me what you told me a while ago." Said Anna

Yoh looked away again and Anna waited. After a few seconds Anna lay down again and pulled the covers up much to Yoh's surprise.

"A-anna..." Yoh said

"Just go to sleep already Asakura, tell me when you're sure about it and I'll tell you what I have to tell you." Said Anna not facing Yoh

Yoh opened his mouth to speak but closed it again and stood up slowly in defeat. He went out of the room quietly but before closing the door he looked at her one last time.

Anna's POV

"What the heck is with him?!?"

"He can't even tell me about it although I've heard it already!!"

"This guy is hopeless..."

"And I' am hopefully waiting for him to tell me..."

"But I can't hide the fact that..."

"I'm in love with that cute baka..."

Then she drifted off to sleep still knowing that Yoh is still outside her door but not knowing how he is panicking over what happened.

Yoh's POV

"Why the heck can't I tell her?!?!"

"She already heard it from me!!"

"But I just can't tell her how I..."

"How I love her face to face..."

"It's not fear getting over me but..."

"nervousness."

"Ahh! I'll just sleep now! But I'll tell her tomorrow."

"I'll just have to have a good timing."

Then Yoh went in his room and went to bed while thinking of Anna not knowing what she is feeling the moment she heard his unexpected declaration of love.

The morning came rather quickly and Anna was the first one to get up, she took a bath and went in Yoh's room to wake him up.

"Darn! I think I smiled too much while sleeping..." Anna thought

"Well if he hadn't got cold feet last night I wouldn't have to think what he is planning to do now." She thought as she slid Yoh's door open just to find Yoh sitting on the floor near the window while sleeping. Anna arched an eyebrow and smiled evilly, then she approached Yoh began shaking him to wake up.

"Asakura! Wake up!" shouted Anna

Yoh opened his eyes and Anna moved away. When he saw Anna he quickly stood up and looked at her blushing a little.

"Ohayo Anna..." said Yoh

"Well go and make breakfast Asakura." Ordered Anna then she went to the living room to watch an early morning tv show while waiting.

"Why is she calling me Asakura?" thought Yoh

"She's not mad at me is she?!?!" then Yoh was thinking again as he cooked breakfast.

The day was quiet with Yoh trying to approach Anna but failing and Anna only calling him Asakura and not talking to him much pretending that she is angry at him. Night came and Anna was in her room standing near the window and looking outside. The night was perfect and Yoh went inside Anna's room very quietly.

"Anna..." Yoh whispered

Anna surprisedly turned around only to meet Yoh's embrace.

"I love you Anna...I can't take it if you won't talk to me anymore because of my stupidness...Sorry Anna. I just want you to know how much I love you, I love you very much." Yoh whispered

"You're stupid you know that? I love you too Yoh." Said Anna softly as Yoh looked at her happily his eyes shone as he drew her close to him and kissed her on the lips.
