Together Forever?

Chapter 2

Where is Home?

Anna walked quietly ignoring the noises of the happy crowd around her as the snow began to fall. The shamans are beginning their Christmas Shopping while Anna is just walking away towards the station carrying a small bag.

"Come on Leo! Just buy it!" said a red headed girl

"Hey! Why are you choosing your gift? I'm supposed to choose it for you Maura!" Protested a black haired guy as they walked near the jewelry store

Anna sighed, Christmas was coming; the perfect season for couples aside from Valentines Day and here she was, all alone. She was supposed to be buying gifts in here with Yoh. But everything just went wrong and Yoh finally told her the thing that she fears the most. She continued to walk towards the station that was coming into view ignoring the chill that the weather caused since she didn't have her jacket.

"Hey! Miss! Welcome!" greeted the ticket-seller

"I'll have one ticket to Izumo." Said Anna coldly

"What? You're going back already? Well you won't have any fellow passengers here since everyone is staying for Christmas! The foods are great!" chatted the guy happily as he handed Anna the ticket

"Where will I pay this?" asked Anna

"Nah! Don't worry about it! This one is on the house! Come again okay!" said the guy as he walked away

'Everyone is staying for Christmas…I guess Yoh will have a really good time with his friends here without me scaring the life out of them.' Thought Anna bitterly

"Miss Anna!!!" shouted a voice

Anna turned around to find Millie running towards her while holding a gift-wrapped in green with a red ribbon on top of it. She looked at Millie coldly as Millie stopped in front of herb top catch her breath.

"What is it?" asked Anna

"Have you seen my beloved Lyserg Miss Anna???" asked Millie

"No. And what makes you think that you'll find him here?" asked Anna

"Oh, I thought maybe he might want to be alone so he went here. It's the only place where people don't go since its Christmas. Where are you going?" asked Millie when the bag caught her attention.

"Is that for Lyserg?" asked Anna, changing the subject.

"Yes! It's my present for him!" said Millie excitedly

'She has a present for Lyserg. I haven't bought Yoh anything yet. I was supposed to buy something today but it happened. I could give him something before I go, I don't care whether he will just throw it away…' thought Anna

"Miss Anna?" asked Millie

Anna took her bracelet off and looked at Millie.

"Give this to Yoh. I think your Lyserg will be there. Don't tell him that you saw me here or I will hurt you so bad that no one will recognize you." Threatened Anna

Millie took Anna's bracelet and ran away quickly. Anna smiled sadly and made her way towards the train leaving nothing except for the bracelet. She entered the door as the snow fell gently upon Patch Village with the memories that she will be keeping.

"No ones going home. I see." Said Anna as she sat on a seat at the back of the train. She looked outside the window while thinking of Yoh.

"I love him…but I can't tell or show him." Said Anna as the tears started to roll down her cheeks just like the snow that melted when the sun comes out. The pain that she was feeling was going with her as she goes through life without Yoh Asakura; the only guy that she loved dearly, the same guy that told her that they can't be together in the most painful way. Her heart just ached as she wept silently inside the train.

Back at Yoh and the Others

"We'll find her Yoh don't worry." Comforted Lyserg knowing what happened while he was gone.

"Yeah Yoh! Besides it's cold outside! She'll be back!" said Horo

Then there was a knock on the door and Ryu ran to get it expecting Anna to enter the room. But when he opened it he saw Millie and no Anna.

"Hey Millie-chan! How are you?" greeted Ryu happily

"Is Lyserg here?" asked Millie as she walked inside ignoring the heart-broken Ryu on the door.

"Hey Millie, what brings you here?" asked Lyserg kindly

"Here. It's my gift for you! But you should open it on Christmas!" said Millie as she handed the box to Lyserg

"Oh and Yoh! Miss Anna asked me to give you this." Said Millie as she handed Yoh Anna's bracelet.

Yoh took it with trembling hands and looked at Millie.

"Where did you see her?!? Tell me Millie!!" shouted Yoh desperately

Millie was so shocked with his action that she said that the last time she saw Anna was when she gave her the bracelet in the station. Yoh rushed outside and ran very quickly until he reached the station but Anna wasn't there. He saw the guy that sells tickets and ran to him.

"Excuse me sir. Have you sell a ticket to a girl with blonde hair?!?" asked Yoh

"Why yes. She was the only one that bought a ticket so the train left already and won't be back until Christmas is over." Said the man

Yoh left the guy and sat on one of the benches in the station. The guy just walked away leaving Yoh behind.

"Anna…come back!" shouted Yoh

"I'm sorry…I'm so sorry," said Yoh as he cried quietly

"Well look at this…he finally realized it." Said a voice

Yoh placed the bracelet in his pocket and stood up. He knows that Hao was there, and it was Hao who did that to Horo. It was also Hao's plan to make Anna and him fight.

"You finally know it huh? Without the girl giving you strength I can defeat you now my dear brother. So I challenge you." Said Hao

Just then the oracle bell rang announcing the fight between Yoh and Hao will occur on Christmas Day in the wide plain near the village.

"Good luck little brother." Said Hao mockingly

"HAO!" shouted Yoh but Hao disappeared. Yoh sat back on the bench taking Anna's bracelet and wearing it.

"Don't worry Anna. I'll defeat him then…I'll find you." Said Yoh as he stood up and walked back in the apartment.

Back at the train

"Excuse me Miss?" asked the attendant as she woke Anna up.

"What?" asked Anna

"The train turned around. There will be a special fight between Hao Asakura and Yoh Asakura. We have to go back." Said the attendant

Anna was surprised, she knew that Hao was dead already. But he is going to fight Yoh again.

"When will this happen?" asked Anna

"Tomorrow. I'm sorry for the inconvenience." Said the attendant

"Okay." Said Anna as she watched the attendant go back

'Yoh will fight Hao? So I guess I'll have to watch…just in case…just in case something happens I'll help him.' Said Anna as she clutched her hands. The train sped back towards Patch Village as the fight will soon begin.
