A/N: Yay, I'm actually updating! Well if more people actually review I might feel more inclined to update faster. But I'll say what I have said before, you guys should be lucky that I am sick or else I would not be able to find time to update. So here is chapter 6!

Disclaimer: I am writing three Shaman King fanfics right now, so note the word 'fanfic', which would indicate that I do not own Shaman King and that I am just writing fiction about it!

Italics what Yoh is thinking

Chapter Six:

"…You do understand that Yoh's condition is very delicate Anna?" Faust's low voice hovered above the room.

"Yes, I do understand. I also know that it would be much better for Yoh if maybe, I weren't to see him for a while, maybe leave on a journey or something."

All he did was nod, the nod not exactly agreeing or disagreeing with Anna, but a nod that meant that he somehow knew how she felt.

"But first of all, I'm going to wait until his fever clears up." She rose and gave him a smile that didn't light up her eyes at all.

"And I must leave now. So I hope you goodwill Itako Anna."

"Thank you."

It was a stormy night. Rain was pouring and there was even the very cliché thunder and lightning effects. Drops of water pounded on the windows in Yoh's room, but even that did not wake him.

It was because he wasn't asleep. After two weeks he still had that fever raging inside of him. He was conscious; he just couldn't really open his eyes or move at all. It took all of his strength to just keep his will and be able to sense things around him.

He then felt something enter his room. Anna.

"Yoh-kun, you must wake up now. You have been sleeping for too long. I know you love to sleep and everything, but now you must wake up!" Sobs tore from her throat.

I'm sorry Anna.

"If you don't you'll just have to do more work. Every minute you don't wake, I'll… I'll add 50 more miles to your workout. I… You… You cannot keep on sleeping…"

"Yoh."

I can't break this disease.

"Please…"

I am very sorry.

Water fell onto his cheek and headed towards his mouth.

Is the roof leaking?

He tasted the water and it was salty.

It's Anna's tears.

His mouth opened and closed, during that time, two dry words came from his lips:

"Don't cry…"

End of Chapter

A/N: Short chapter, sorry. But I'll try to do another chapter soon, to make up… If you did not notice my note above ITALICS Yoh's thoughts. Also, information about the fanfic: Just because Yoh could talk again only means that he has recovered from his fever, not the whole disease! So wait for the next chapter! Is it soon? Just wait and see. Til then!
