Yay! Sorry for the long wait school has been crazy! Anyway thank you all my reviewers you guys mean a lot to me! Okay here we go!
Anna was outside watching Yoh train, he was currently doing 50 laps with Amidamaru, " Yoh ran faster, if you don't finish this course in 5 more minutes I am going to triple your daily schedule of training." Anna yelled out to him in her regular monotone voice.
" Sure thing Anna!" Yoh started to run faster, still with that carefree smile on his face.
Anna turned around and entered the house. " Hey, are you finishing up on lunch short stuff?" Morty turned around and faced Anna. " Sure thing Anna! It'll be done in a couple of minutes!." Anna grunted and stared at him coldly. " You got 5 minutes." Morty whooshed around and started to cook faster…if that was possible.
" Tamara." " Yes Ms. Anna?!" " Are you done cleaning?" Tamara started to play with her fingers. " Well?"
" Well you see Ms. Anna I would finish cleaning the house, but there is your room…and that's locked…and"
" Enough I understand, keep and eye on Yoh and make sure he is doing his training…..now!" "Yes Ms.Anna!" Tamara ran outside as Anna walked up the stairs and entered her room.
She looked around, there was hardly anything in there, nothing really to clean. The gang was coming over today, and as much as that annoyed her she wanted the house to look clean.
She walked over to her drawer but then stopped in shock. Her drawer was slightly open. She looked inside and saw that Hao's Oracle bell was missing. She quickly ran outside and yelled.
" YOH ASAKURA!" Yoh stopped and looked up. " What's wrong Anna?"
" …..where…you…in…my…room?!!!" Yoh's face expressed some sort of fear but he recovered quickly…" Uh-yeah…I had to take out all the garbage….so I went into your room to get your garbage." Yoh had meant something besides the normal garbage bad items.
" EVERYONE OUT!" Tamara ran inside with Amidamaru right behind her. Anna stomped up to Yoh and lapped right across his face. Yoh kept his face in the position Anna's hand left him in, not even reaching up to touch his face. Anna stared down at him and then cringed up when eh did nothing. "what do you have to say for yourself?!" Yoh did not respond but instead brought his hand to his pocket and took out the Oracle Bell. Anna stepped away from him.
" Anna…..this isn't my oracle bell….so who's is it?" Anna brought one of her hands up to her chest and looked away.
" It's none of your buissness Yoh…that is my property Yoh! You better give it back to ….me." Yoh looked up at Anna.
" Anna…you are not a Shaman…this isn't your oracle bell!….who's is it!"
Anna stared at him and was about to slap him again, but she stopped. " Yoh….it belongs to…someone I care about, nothing more, that person gave it to me, and when I see that person again I will give it back…..now give it back and go inside to eat." Anna held out her hand.
Yoh looked at her, he gave her the bell and smiled. " I'm sorry Anna! I guess I just got a little worried! But no worries right?! I trust you!…wait did you sat food's inside? Yum! I'm starving!" Yoh ran inside not even looking back.
Anna stood still staring down at the bell, she squeezed it tight, wanting to crush it, to break it, but then she looked down around her neck and saw Yoh's necklace. For some reason, this necklace seems more likely to break than Hao's oracle bell.
" Is this a symbol…..lo-no I don't….I can break either one whenever I want to." Anna walked back inside to prepare for the gathering.
Around 7:00 pm everyone started to show up. Len was the first one to show up, and he brought Jun and Li-Pi-Long with him. " Why hello Anna, it is nice to see you again."
Anan looked at Jun and nodded her head. " Same to you, refreshments are at the table near Shorty. Jun nodded and walked away.
" Well if it isn't Len….how are ya buddy?" Yoh gave a great big smile.
" I'm doing just fine, and I suppose you are as well?" "Yeah I'm just-" " Have you heard any news on the starting up of the Shaman Tournament?" Yoh dropped his head as he laughed at Len's constant determination to beat him and become Shaman King.
The door bell rang. " I'll get it!" Yoh ran to the door and greeted Horo-Horo, Ryu, and Chocolove. Spelling?
" Hey guys!"
" Wassup Yoh!"
" Hello Yoh!"
" Hello Master Yoh, been awhile eh?"
" Yeah come in guys the party is just starting."
The guys hanged out for a few hours, dancing, fighting, and the occasional bad jokes leaving Len to beat up on Chocolove.
" Alright guys so what do you want to do next, maybe we could-" The door bell rang.
" Wow I wonder who that could be, Anna would you mind getting that?" Anna looked at Yoh, she was pretty comfortable sitting on the couch talking to Pilika, Tamara, and Jun.
" Alright…I'll just get it." Yoh opened the door with his usual closed eyes and big smile " Hello how can I help-" " Why hello brother." Yoh stopped smiling and stared at the person in front of him.
" What are you doing here?" Yoh's eyes hardened somewhat, as the other Shaman got into battle positions, the music was playing a kiddy song by the name of Jingle Bells " Oh I really love that song…how come I wasn't invited to the party?"
" Sorry But we don't invite psychos dude!" Horo-Horo yelled out at Hao.
" Hmm…not that's not very nice, now is it?" Hao tried to step in but Yoh stood firm.
Jingle Bells
Jingle Bells
Jingle all the wayyyy.
Hao stared to hum to it. " Pretty catchy huh?"
" Would someone turn off the blasted music?!" Len yelled and Tamara ran to turn it off.
" Hmm…well what if I ask really nicely Yoh?"
" Not on your life Hao….I think you should leave."
Anna throughout this entire time stood plated onto her seat, looking on as what seemed to be calmly but truly worried.
" Why, oh brother? Alright then, how about I ask Anna?"
" You stay away from her!"
" Oh come now, I can't possibly touch her." Hao looked over to her. " Unless she wants me too…" Yoh punched Hao and Hao shuffled back a bit. " Hmph…I guess I struck a nerve didn't I?"
Yoh turned around about to close the door. " Spirit of Fire!" Yoh stood stunned for a minute before calling his own ghost. " Amidamaru into the sword. Hao engulfed the front porch with fire as well as the entrance door to the house. Len took Pilika out of the house, Horo-Horo took Tamara, Li-Pi-Long took Jun and Ryu took Morty.
Anna stood amongst the flames as Yoh used his Celestial slash aiming at Hao.
" You may have beaten me once Yoh but you won't be me again! I have more to fight for now Yoh! And what you thought you were protecting is now gone!"
Yoh frozed and turned his head slowly to Anna in question. Anna looked straight at him. " Anna?….ugh!" Hao launched an attack straight at Yoh's stomach.
" Yoh!" Horo-Horo and Ryu aimed their special attacks at Hao, Horo-Horo's attack missed as Ryu's attack held no affect. Len was up now and he asked for Jun to protect the others. Chocolove agreed to help protect as well.
" Bason!" Len jumped up into the air and did his famous attack, Hao however blocked it and struck Len in mid-air.
" Len!!!!" Jun ran to Len but Li-Pi-Long stopped her. Hao was about to strike Len to damage him a great deal but Yoh blocked the attack taking the full blast of the attack.
Anna screamed Yoh's name and ran to him. She leaned over his body. The silver Necklace dangling from her neck hovering over his steadily breathing body. " Anna…is Hao….is he telling the truth…..you wouldn't…would you?" Anna grabbed Yoh's hand and looked at him. She turned around and stared at Hao.
" Hmm…suit yourself My Queen, Ill come back later." whispering the last part Hao threw a few more flame attacks at Ryu and Horo-Horo who were trying to attack him and then he left.
Anna helped Yoh get up, as everyone tried to get up as well with the help of the girls. Morty ran over to Yoh and Anna. " What the hell just happened? Yoh are you okay? And what was Hao talking about?"
" That man is insane, if he didn't surprise us like that…we could have beaten him up like last time!"
" I'm not sure about that Len, he seemed a lot stronger."
" Maybe Len is right my friend, Maybe we weren't ready." Ryu sat back down on the ground and stared as the fires started to die down with help of Horo-Horo's ice attacks.
" What I would like to know is why on earth has he decided to show his face again." Chocolove walked up to Yoh and Anna.
" I don't…uh…know." Yoh looked at Anna. " Do you have any clue Anna?" Anna shook her head slowly and walked back into the now flame-free house.
" Well I guess this means the party's over! Sorry about that guys!" Yoh smiled
" Ah it was a blast! Literally." Chocolove started to laugh at his lame joke but was hit on the nose by Len. " Ow, man that's wrong!"
" Come on Jun, Let's go." " Right" Everyone started to leave leaving Morty the last one with Yoh.
" Hey Yoh…is everything alright between you and Anna?"
" Huh? Yea…why do you ask Morty?"
" Umm…well when Hao said that you fighting to protect something that is now gone…you looked at Anna…why?"
" Well…you see I'm not sure Morty, and I don't want to loose my trust in Anna but, I think she may be with Hao."
" WHAT?! Yoh! Hoe can you say that so calmly…and how could you ever think that? Anna has been by your side for so long…she-" " Haha I know that Morty, I don't know it's just that she has this Oracle bell…and well, Hao doesn't have his."
Morty drained of all color. " But-"
" Morty it's okay get some rest I'll see ya tomorrow morning." Yoh walked inside the house leaving Morty outside.
Anna upstairs in her room, saw the whole scene through her window. " Yoh…." She held the necklace once more before taking it off and going to sleep.
" Great….Yoh now has some idea…lets see Anna, when are you going to finally tell him, and when are you going to come back to me." Hao disappeared into the night with his spirit awaiting the next day to cause more havoc upon the two.
Okay that's it hope you liked it! R&R and hopefully I can update tomorrow before Christmas! Yay!
