Disclaimer: As all of you know, I do not own anything affiliated with Shaman King. Except maybe some Anna and Yoh plushies.
Anywho, on to the story!
"Yoh!"
Kyouyama Anna—the well-known and feared Itako—'s voice boomed and echoed through out the whole room. Her right hand was tucked under her chin while her free hand continuously pressed on the remote, flipping channel to channel. Her eyes were filled with ennui and, because no answer had been given to her call a while ago, annoyance.
"Yoh!" She bellowed once more, her even, emotionless visage unchanging.
Silence.
That was it! It was seven forty three and dinner hasn't even been made! She could not, or rather will not, wait any longer.
With an irate frown upon her face, she rose from the ground and slowly made her way to the front door, then headed outside.
"Yoh Asakura!" She yelled angrily, hands on hips, and eyebrows raised; pointing heavenwards.
A trembling brunette hesitantly whirled around to face the angered Itako. His trademark sheepish grin was visible on his face and his eyes begged for mercy. "A-ah, Anna," He stated anxiously, giving her a wave. "I was about to come in a while ago but then Horo and Ren started fighting again so I—"
Asakura Yoh's explanation was cut short, eyes wide in shock, when he caught a glimpse of the charging shoe racing towards him. Being caught off-guard, he hadn't the chance to duck, causing the shoe to strike his face directly.
"Itai!" Yoh cried, resting his hands on his aching head. As the stinging pain slowly resided, a vague pout formed across his face, hearing the two snickering shamans. He found himself snickering as well though, seeing that Anna was dealing with them, too.
His eyes then shut at the sound of Anna's hand hitting Horo-Horo's right cheek. He waited for another hurtful sound before his eyes slowly opened. He gave the two a reassuring smile, telling them that Anna would cool down once he prepares dinner, then tilted his head sideways, watching as the fierce Itako made her way back inside.
"Nee, you what, guys?" Yoh started happily, his eyes focused to where Anna was once standing. "We got lucky today!"
"Yoh, can you NOT see my red cheek?" Cried Horo-Horo hysterically, pointing at his aching cheek, "How the heck is that lucky!"
"Well, Anna would normally punish us by making us do a hundred push-ups, a twenty mile jog, clean the whole house, and serve dinner." Yoh replied honestly, grinning. "That's way worse than this if you ask me." He continued childishly, chuckling slightly.
"Guess you're right." Horo-Horo stated exasperatedly, sighing in defeat. "Little Renny poo thinks differently, though." He teased playfully; pointing at the Chinese shaman whose teeth was gritted and the one who was muttering incoherent curses.
"Urusai, Ainu-baka!" Ren roared whilst he headed towards the entrance of the Asakura estate. Before entering through the door, he faced the lazy shaman. "It's getting late. If that witch sees us stalling, who knows what she'll do."
Laughing, the Ainu and the lazy bum rushed inside with Ren, moving in a very hasty speed. After all, they were afraid that Anna might not be oh-so-merciful next time.
(...ooo...)
Breathing out a sigh, Anna nonchalantly searched the television for something interesting to watch, boredom written all over her eyes. While the fact that everything seemed to go well with the three shamans was a great improvement,Anna was rather disappointed that not one of them caused havoc yet.
The keyword there was 'yet'.
Hearing plates clanging was her cue. With a deadly smirk on her face, Anna unhurriedly ambled towards the kitchen, her smirk growing at sound of their panicked voices.
"Minna," Horo-Horo cried anxiously, lips shaky, "I-I think A—Anna heard us! We have to hurry!"
Both Ren and Yoh nodded with out complaints, their faces grim. By the look on their faces, one would immediately assume they saw a ghost—or perhaps something they don't normally see. Like Anna being nice! AN: X3
The three of them decided to split their jobs—Ren was hesitantly preparing the table, Horo-Horo worked on the floor, sweeping the mess they made, and Yoh continued on cooking—hoping that they would be able to finish cleaning the massive mess without Anna knowing one thing. The probability of that happening was less than one percent, though.
Their hearts pounded faster and faster when they heard footsteps slowly nearing them. They doubled their speed and continued on in a very hasty speed, faster than anyone could have imagined.
Ren had managed to finish setting the table and Horo finished cleaning up. All was up to Yoh now, he just needed to finish his cook—
"Waaah!"
"Yoh, please tell me that's not what I think it is." Horo-Horo dared not look at his back, afraid that the smoke was coming from you-know-where.
Coughing from the smoke, Yoh used his hands to fan it outside, then apologized to his two frightened-looking friends. "Aah, gomen!" He cried apologetically as he continued fanning out the smoke. "I'll just start another—"
"Yoh."
Her voice was taunting. That grim smirk on her face didn't make anything better, either.
"K-konnichiwa, Anna." Yoh replied nervously, hearting beating so fast he thought he would die. "I w-was just about to buy some food since I accidentally ruined this one."
"Tomorrow. Five-thirty." She shot a quick glance at the boy, checking if he knew what she meant then whirled away from them. "I'll take care of the food you'll be cooking." She started walking away from them and neared the front door. She then halted abruptly and added, "Make sure everything is clean when I get back. Or else" in a very frightening tone. Even Ren faintly shook with fear at her voice. And it was Ren, the prideful, oh-so-brave shaman.
When the Itako had left the house, all three remained in there spot, staring. Did Anna just volunteer to help them?
It took them minutes before they regained their composure and started cleaning up. They were still dumbfounded about the whole incident, but decided to talk about it later. Who knows? Maybe Anna was just feeling a little sick. Or perhaps very sick.
(...ooo...)
"Arigato." Anna thanked quietly, stuffing the given change in her pocket. The female salesclerk gave Anna a nod then turned to her other waiting customers.
Finally!
Anna mentally kicked herself for doing that. What the heck was she thinking anyway? Tamao and Pirika should have done this. Speaking of which, where are those two?
Shaking off her thoughts, Anna continued walking through the dark, abandoned streets, while allowingfeeling a gentle breeze blow against her skin. She gazed at the vague silhouette of the house and quickened her pace. Though it was merely abreeze,she could not stand the wind any longer. And it did seem to be blowing harsher and harsher
When she was only a few feet off, the wind had blown her treasured crimson bandana away. Without hesitating, she dashed after the soaring cloth, using her free hand to try and grasp it. A small smile formed on her face when she felt the cloth brush against her palm, and she started making her way back. Unfortunately, being too preoccupied about her bandana, Anna was oblivious of the car speeding up towards her.
Her eyes widened in shock as she felt a pain shoot through her body. Her knees gave in, making her fall, and her eyes were slowly closing. The last thing she remembered seeing was a blinding light, and then, nothing but pitch darkness.
