Hello everyone I know it's been awhile sorry sorry sorry for not writing sooner, my computer crashed and I started getting busy with school. Anyways I would like to thank those who reviewed and explain what's going to happen. I think I'm going to continue on with the story with another one of my famous mixed feelings and hints on who Anna is going to end up with and in the end im going to split it into 2 different parts. One with Anna x Hao and the other with Anna x Yoh.

I know this is going to be hard and I wanted it to be purely Anna and Hao but so many of you love the idea of Yoh and Anna so I want to make you all happy hehe. Okay here we go!!!

2 years later

" Ms. Anna! Ms.Anna!" A small little boy was running down the hall screaming out to his master's love. "Ms. Anna! Master Hao wishes to speak to you!" the boy by the name Opacho opened the door to come face to face with a scowling Anna.

It had been two years Anna and Hao had been together, both of them came to an understanding on how they were going to live their lives isolated from anything to deal with Yoh Asakura. After some time the tension between Anna and Hao rose. At first like any blissful beginning relationship it was nothing but cherry blossoms, but as time passed by Anna's coldness and stubbornness started to irritate the soon to be ruler of the world to no end.

Hao and Anna loved each other, but there was always that doubt in Anna's mind, and Hao had always seen it.

"What does that buffoon want now…..can't he see im busy, with all his 'guards' watching me all the time he should know I have no time for him right now." Anna folded her arms and gave a cold glare at the young messenger.

Opacho squeaked a little and backed off before bowing. "Please Ms. Anna he says it is important!"

"ugh!….fine." Anna pushed based the messenger and stormed off into Hao's room which was a little ways down the hallway connecting to her room. Pushing the door open with anger and strength evident she yelled out his name. " Hao! You know I am busy and I have no time for your wants or needs…." Pausing a little Anan stared at Hao, he was smiling at her, his hair had grown a few more inches and his age was increasing but he was still as gorgeous as ever.

He looked at Anna taking in her expressed emotion, and loving every minute of it. He did it on purpose at times just to see her fume. She was truly magnificent to him, she had grown too, not drastically but enough to notice, she obviously filled out more in certain areas, and her hair was getting longer. She no longer wore a bandana and she only let her hair grew cause Hao had told her he laughed her hair and wanted to see it longer.

Anna surveyed the room it was irritating, there seemed to be a beeping noise.

"What is that disturbing sound Hao?" Anan walked up to him, and the sound grew louder. " What are you hiding? Stop playing around."

Hao stood up a grin on his face. " Oh my dear Anna, why are you so upset? I haven't caused you any trouble today, and alas let me assure you, the news im going to give is indeed important." Hao threw something to Anna, with ease she caught it.

Looking down her eyes widened in shock for a passing second, after all this time she had not change. Maybe a little in secret she would smile a small smile when only Hao was around, but not in his quarters while there were two guards on each side of the door.

"What's the meaning of this…..are they starting the shaman tournament again?"

" I believe so."

"No."

Hao slumped his head. " But Anna, I have to go."

" I said no and that's final!" Anna turned on her heal and started to head for the door, she was stopped when she was suddenly encircled by flames.

" Now Anna…." Hao was covering his face with his hair, his eyes completely invisible but Anna knew they bore hate right now. His voice was tired yet strict, leaving no room for question. " It has been two years Anna…I have done more than owned your forgiveness, I think you should reconsider your objection to it, either way I am fighting."

Anna stood perfectly still, showing no fear. " Now Hao, you do know I will never forbid you from doing anything you truly wanted…..I also know even if I tried It would be futile, but the question is do you believe me? Do you not trust me?" Anna's question was plain and blunt, cutting out the gibberish and aiming for the heart of the matter.

There had been wonder on who's side Anna was really on, she had betrayed Yoh, who's to say she wouldn't betray Hao?

" My dear and lovely Anna…" Hao moved his hands and his spirit tied around Anna's waste pulling her to Hao, forcing it's grip on her to almost gasp out for air. When the Spirit had pulled Anna close enough to Hao's body, he lifted his hand and picked her hair up enough so his lips could reach her earlobe.

" Who's to know what your capable of Anna….you betrayed him so easily and heartlessly how am I to know you won't do the same to me?" Anna squeezed out of his grasp and used some of her itako's power to diminish the little furioku Hao used for his spirit.

Side stepping just a little so she was half-way facing him she spit out her venomess words at Hao. " So now you show your true colors you bastard!"

Hao looked on amused. " I did not betray Yoh so heartlessly as you had plainly put it! How dare you think you have any idea as to why I did what I did and how I felt! while doing it!" Anna turned to walk off.

" There is nothing I can say to you Hao…we had had our share of fights…..but this one, Hmph, be careful Hao maybe you aren't so paranoid after all." With that Anna left the room leaving a pensive Hao behind.

Back at Yoh's house, things hadn't change that much. Yoh had grown too, becoming a little more fit, yes he actually kept up training. After Anna's sudden departure, his friends had moved in with him. Horo Horo and Pilika still not having accomplish there mission had needed a place to stay instead of wasting money on motels until the Shaman Tournament started back up again. Len wanting to break free from his family's home and ideals decided to try living at Yoh's place for awhile and actually found that he liked it.

As for the others they occasionally visited, Ryu, Chocolove stayed quite a few days at a time, and even lyserg stopped by every once in awhile. Manta and Tamara had helped Yoh get through it all. He didn't show them after a few months his deep concern over Anna's well-being but that didn't mean that he had moved on.

After that day he had picked up the Silver Necklace Anna had tossed. Yes he did say that he gave Anna to Hao, but hey you are allowed to lie every once in awhile right?.

In truth he knew Hao loved her, but he wanted Anna to see what is would be like to live with Hao, and then maybe she would leave him. So far that hadn't happen.

"Hey Yoh!" Yoh turned around from the couch and looked as Manta came inside with the groceries.

"Hey Manta back so soon?"

"Of course, with me there to help him hehe." Tamara came through the door and gave Yoh a warm smile.

" Haha I guess so." Yoh lifted himself from the couch.

" Guess who we ran into on the way here." Morty set the bags on a near-by table.

Yoh looked at him confused and then at the door. Faust had walked in with his beloved Eliza. Yoh gave a bright smile and walked over to them

"Hey Faust long time no see."

" Why hello Yoh, same to you too….how are you?"

Yoh looked at Faust gave a reassuring grin. " Couldn't be better! The other guys are upstairs, Horo Horo and Pilika are fighting over something again and Len is probably complaining Haha."

" Oh I see…well if it is alright with you I was wondering if I could stay here for awhile, you know help out in case you need any for the Shaman Tournament."

"….Shaman Tournament?"

" Yoh!!!!!!!" Horo Horo came running down the stairs with Pilika and Len right behind him.

" What's up?" Manta and Tamara came out of the kitchen to see what was all the commotion.

" The Tournament! The bell! It's ringing!"

Yoh gave off a laugh to mask his concern, he knew Hao was going to try to do what he has done time over time before. " That's great It's about time huh?"

" Yeah! Who would have known it would only take 2 years to get it back up?" Manta joined that gang for a celebration as Horo Horo went to the phone to order pizza.

Len walked over to Yoh sensing his change in mood. " What's wrong?"

" Huh? Oh nothing! Everything's great."

"Hmph, Yoh you act as if I am an idiot."

" Oh c'mon Len I didn't say that."

" Are you thinking about her again?" Len gave off an annoyed voice.

" So who's my opponent?"

Len looked at Yoh before going a long with it. " It says here….Zero I wonder who that could be."

Yoh looked at the oracle bell and thought back to Anna. " Goodbye Yoh, I'll see you again"

" Anna…I will see you again, won't I?" Yoh looked at his Oracle Bell. " I wonder if he has any connection to Hao…."

" C'mon Yoh! Another victory is in sightttttttt!"

" Master Hao…."

Hao stood up. " Listen well, you are going up against someone very strong, but do not fear him, he has lost the most valuable thing to him, he can be exterminated just like the rest now…."

The man in front of Hao bowed down. " As you wish Master Hao."

" You may go now Zero."

Zero left the room, his icy cold blue eyes piercing the darkness of the room, and his silver hair catching the reflection of the moon outside, once out of the room he ran into His master's beloved Queen to be.

" Ms. Anna….." Zero bowed.

" Hmph." Anna pushed passed him, but he caught her arm, Anna as a reflex slapped him, he looked at her with no emotion, she hated that, with Hao he would always smirk…and with Yoh he would always pretend as if it hurt.

"Ms. Anna, I do not think you should disturb him."

" I don't care what you think, now go before I have you killed for touching me."

Zero took one look at her before leaving the area. Anna walked in to find Hao leaning against a window.

" Slapping my fighters once again Anna?" there was amusement in his voice.

" Hmph, it's not my fault they ask for it."

" yes, he had no right to touch you, he will be punished later…" Hao said this with a low serious voice, Anna didn't quite pick it up for she was pushing looked at him. He could make her swoon by just the mere sight of him, though she dared and never have showed it, she was sure he knew.

She casually walked up to him and stood right beside him.

" Is that man fighting Yoh tomorrow?"

" Hm."

" Well…then he'll be killed."

" Come now Anna…" Hao turned to look at her. " Yoh is not as invincible as you make him out to be, he had lost a great deal of strength now that you are not around."

" …….." Anna looked away from his entrancing eyes, and breath-taking smirk and looked outside the window.

" Anna…." Hao captured her waist with his hands, resting his head on her shoulders and smelling her intoxicating scent.

Anna leaned back a little pressing the back of her head upon his own. " hmmm..?"

" I know….you have doubts…..it has been 2 years, and I have loved you forever, but I have no doubt in my loving you…"

Anna inhaled sharply, after all this time she had come to known two sides of Hao. The one filled with passion, gentleness and love, which was only expressed towards her, and the side fueled with hate, revenge and well….mental incapacity.

Still, she could not truly speak those words, she had said it to Yoh, that she had loved Hao, she had never actually spoken the words to Hao. She kept silent and all she could do was squeeze his hands as strong as she could to show how much she was struggling.

Hao in return closed his eyes, he was patient, he knew it would be worth it in the end, he knew she was worth it. How could she ever betray him? Why would he ever doubt her?

Anna looked out of the window, looking as the stars filled the sky and the moon shone with such radiant light she couldn't help but feel the exact opposite of what that radiance symbolized. As if she saw her position in Hao's arm's from a third person's point of few, she started to cry silently, Oh how she loved him.

Alright there we go! Please don't kill me, I know you are all going to hate me for doing this mixed signals thing again, but what can I say I love it! Read and review! Oh i just wanted to say that The titles since im not japanese are from a translation, so sorry! hehe there!
