Hey guys thanks a lot for the reviews! I feel special hehe, anyways here is the next chapter, I'm sorry if it leans more to one couple than the one you prefer, hehe.
Disclaimer: ah, talks of marriage, such a beautiful thing…ummm don't own Shaman King.
The sun beamed into Anna's room, for the first time ever she slept in late, she woke up surprised that Yoh nor Morty came in to wake her up.
" They must be sleeping too…idiots." Anna pushed the covers away from her body and sat up, she looked towards the floor. "Right where I left it." Anna picked up the item that she tossed aside last night, and placed it in her drawer along with the item she kept close to her heart while she slept.
Anna walked down the stairs and entered the kitchen. " Yoh you better be in here making breakfast." Anna looked around and found he was not there. "Yoh get your butt down here!" After a few seconds and not hearing a reply Anna decided to walk upstairs.
Anna slid open the door to his room and found his bed unoccupied. She looked around the room and found that there was a note on a near-by desk. She picked it up.
Dear Anna
Gone to the cemetery, didn't want to wake you up, you looked as if you needed the sleep, don't worry I'll do laps and keep up my training.
Yoh.
Anna crumbled up the paper and threw it, " Hmph… I guess I have to go and get him." Anna left the room and back down the stairs checking the rooms on her way for any signs of Morty. " Looks like the squirt went with him…" Anna sat down on the couch in the living room. " Maybe, I should go for a walk…"
" Hello?"
Anna looked up to the sudden voice coming from the entrance door.
" Who's there?"
"Anna it's me Tamara, can I come in?"
"Whatever, what are you doing here?"
"Well! I thought I should stop by and see how everyone is doing…where is everyone by the way?"
"They went to the cemetery."
"Oh…then I guess I'll just…." "Actually Tamara since you are here why don't you make breakfast."
"But I-" Tamara started to stutter. " Now!". Shaking here head vigorously Tamara replied immediately. "Yes Ms.Anna!"
Tamara ran into the kitchen and started to try and make breakfast with whatever food supply there was in the house. Anna sat down and turned on the T.V.
About an Half-hour later, Tamara and Anna were eating breakfast silently.
That is until Tamara decided it was safe to talk. " So…Anna, since the Shaman King tournament has been cancelled…err…interrupted what are you going to do now? Do you still want to be a Shaman Queen? How long will that take? Are you still Planning on Marrying Yoh? Not that I don't want to, I mean Not that I don't want you to! I mean -- !".
" Tamara be quiet, I am still planning on being Shaman Queen, hopefully it won't be another 500 years to start it up again. As for me marrying Yoh…." When Anna stopped Tamara looked on hopefully. "Yes Anna?"
" I want to go for a walk…you will clean up the dishes and if Yoh comes back while I'm gone tell him I'm fine and that I'll be back soon."
"Uh…sure Anna." Anna pushed back her chair and left without a second glance.
" …oh wow, is Anna having second thoughts?"
In the cemetery Yoh was leaning on a tree alongside Morty, with Amidamaru not to far behind. " So Yoh, what are you going to do now? I mean are you still going to train? Are you still going to fight to be Shaman King?"
" I don't know Morty, but I do know that I think Anna is starting to warm up to me a little bit, she hasn't been pushing me to the limit anymore!" Yoh was smiling broadly.
" Yeah…maybe for you, she still has me breaking my back." Morty sighed while Yoh laughed.
" Master Yoh, don't you think Anna would be worried right now.?
" Nah…more like furious. But hey it's such a beautiful day, I can't just leave now can I?"
" You are right about that Yoh!" The boys laughed and went on to just laying around.
Anna walked through the streets not focus on anything, she didn't know where she was heading, and quite frankly didn't care.
She eventually ended up in the park, it actually looked quite relaxing and so she decided to walk upon the bridge that went across the little lake, that she and Yoh had one stood on. She looked down at her reflection and stray thoughts passed by her. She didn't notice his reflection through the water until he spoke.
" Fancy meeting you here Anna."
Shocked she jumped back, or she would have if he was not directly behind her, catching her in the process. " Why so jumpy Anna?"
" What are you doing here?"
" Just came to see my favorite person in the world."
" Funny, I thought that was the Iron Maiden Je-" " Please Anna must jealousy become you?"
Anna stared in shock. " Jealousy? What Jealousy? If anyone is Jealous it's you of me and Yoh." Hao backed away and looked at her seriously.
" So are you telling me that you two are together?" Anna looked down. Hao stepped up to her. " Well tell me Anna, you have never been afraid to tell me the truth or to take action first.
Anna looked at him, she knew what he was thinking about, and she couldn't help but remember as well.
" You are actually quite charming and worthy of being Shaman Queen, but if you really want to be Queen you should marry me instead."
" How dare you?!" Anan turned to slap Hao, but he blocked it.
Tamara, Morty. Jun and her guardian ghost Li-Pi-long stared in shock.
" I see you like to take the first move, I admire that." Hao started to tighten her wrist while drawing his face closer to her own.
" Really, well it's my second move that you'll really admire." Anna takes another swing at Hao with her legendary left. Hao stunned for a moment takes the hit.
Jumping onto to his Guardian Ghost and losing his grip on Anna, Hao finally replies. " It was a pleasure to see you Anna, Get to Yoh and give him the book that way Once he finishes reading it and becomes powerful he'll join me, and the sooner he joins me, the sooner you'll be my Queen."
Anna looked at Hao, and saw his expression, he was serious.
" Anna, as I have told you once, if all you truly want is to be Shaman Queen, you should marry me and be by my side forever."
" Are you kidding? Yoh beat you. Yoh is stronger. End of story." Hao chuckled. " Wrong, if Yoh truly did beat me, then why I am still here in your presence."
" That's simple, because Yoh has a heart and he showed you mercy, that's something I can't say the same about you."
Hao looked upon here, " Nor can I say about you." Anna glared at him about to slap him. Hao jumped back and smiled.
" Anna I can't wait to see you tonight, you will wait won't you?" " Did you get my note or crumbled it up as what you did with Yoh's note?"
" Hmph."
" I'll take that as a yes, then farewell until then My future Shaman Queen…..oh yeah, no matter what you say to me now, you had already made your choice last night…. Farewell my lovely Anna." Hao disappeared into the trees, as Anna started towards the house.
" Anna! Hey where have you been…ow! I mean welcome back." Morty was now rubbing is shoulder where Tamara had hit him.
" Hey Anna, had fun?" Anna just looked at Yoh. " Well umm…I'm going to go cook, You wanna help Morty?"
" Sure Tamara." The two left to do as they had said.
" So Anna, are you okay?"
" About last night Yoh…forget it had ever happened." Yoh looked at her in somewhat shock. " I was just thanking you for the gift, don't ever think that I will do it again for no reason."
" Sure thing Anna" Yoh put his hand behind his head and gave a smile.
"Hmph….I'm going to my room now."
" Hey Anna…..?"
" Yes? What is it Yoh?"
Yoh looked away. " Forget it."
" Hmm…" Anna went upstairs to her room.
Yoh sat on the couch and sighed. He stared at his feet and whispered." Anna…you weren't wearing my necklace….and where did you get an oracle bell?"
Okay! There we go I hope you liked it! oh and by the way the flashback is real!, well I may have manipulated it a little bit towards the end, where it says the sooner you'll be my queen but everything else is Legit. I promise! Hehe, Hao says all that when he first meets Anna. Okay back to what I was saying. Oh yeah read and review!
