Hands snatched the heated pan from the scorching oven. The man quickly placed the pan on counter and slowly took the bread out from it. A warm, delicious aroma filled the air. Hastily, he took a toothpaste-like tube and squirted out a tasty white substance known as icing onto the bread. Then the man placed it on a silver dish where it would be seen in the window of the store.
"Cheesecake!!!!!!!!"
Horohoro rapidly ran to the window who watched the mouthwatering cake freshen as the wind blew the steam away from it. His eyes have never seen such an astounding cake ever met upon his very own eyes.
"Horohoro!!" hollered Pirika who was right behind him. In the background, Yoh, Ren, Manta, and Lyserg giggled.
"You don't have to be too hard on him." Said Ren who was still giggling (A/N: Ren giggling? oO)
"Whatever," responded Pirika who dragged the whining Ainu back to them. Then the Mankin gang trotted off with Tamao and Jeanne following.
It was a regular day of going out to the mall. Above them were wide blankets of glass that covered the roof. A beautiful sunset fell over the horizon. "A sunset!" called Tamao who pointed directly up.
The mall was absolutely gorgeous in the night. Fluorescent lights covered the mall with amazement as the Mankin gang wondered in awe.
"So, this is what the mall looks like," said Lyserg whose mouth was wide-opened.
Lights glimmered in every direction and even though it was just a mall, it was more like a fireworks display dedicated to a king.
As the gang rode up the adoring escalator, Yoh sighed. They watched the aerial view of the mall in incredulity, occupying the escalator stairs as people tried to get by. It was an admiring sight. And there would be those times when you would wish that you would actually want to share it with. Someone you loved to be there with you. This was how Yoh felt. As he leaned on the ledge of the moving stairway, he stared down to the people below of him. Side by side, couples walked in happiness of their loved ones. He longed for that relationship. And the relationship he wanted was to be with Anna Kyoyama.
Fortunately, Pirika watched him. From the day of the Shaman Tournament, she knew that Yoh loved Anna. When Anna fell in love with Lyserg, she knew there was going to be a problem. See, many people might think Pirika is a hot-tempered girl going through teenage phases, but that doesn't mean she cannot see the truth about things. And the truth about Yoh liking Anna was a fact. The girl held her breath before she went up to Yoh.
By now, they finally got up to the upper level. Usually this level held most of the exquisite restaurants and this was the place they were going to eat at. As they walked to Pierre's Garden, Pirika skipped to Yoh to try and cheer him up.
"Hi Yoh," Pirika said in her cheery voice as she could.
Yoh glanced at her before looking back to the direction of the restaurant. "Hey"
Pirika cocked an eye brow. This would be much harder than I thought it would plan. "Great mall here, isn't it?"
"Yea." Obviously, Yoh's mind wasn't quite focused to what Pirika was talking to him about.
Ren, Horohoro, and Manta had finally arranged a table for them to sit to. As they walked to their table, they passed most of the beautiful flowers ever seen in their entire life. Fountains sparkled and real birds chirped. Romantic tunes of the piano were being played. It was a fine restaurant to be in. Their table was seated near the largest waterfall. Yoh slid into his seat with Pirika right next to him.
The Ainu girl watched the musician play a song. "I wonder why Anna didn't want to come."
Yoh glanced at her and murmured, "Me too."
Meanwhile…..
Anna swiftly rolled from one door to another. Her eyes wandered from left to right. Good. She wasn't seen. Then the girl climbed onto the stairway handle. Slowly and quietly she moved up to the second floor. Anna front-flipped off the beam landing right in front of a door named "Ren's room. Keep Out."
Target locked.
Anna paused. This was a risk. If anyone saw her she would be punished severely.
Qh, what the heck.
The girl opened the door. Inside she found posters, Chinese clothes, and any junk that usual fighters had in their room. Then her search was on. The blonde silently closed the silver handle in back of her.
Where are the guards?
First, Anna started in his closet. Piles and piles of milk bottles fell on top of her as she made a slight 'eek' right before.
Nope, it can't be in there.
She must've looked in his room for minutes before she found her target. Then she wondered. She slightly lifted the pillow from his bed. "Ah ha!" She said before she did her happy dance. The girl took out the red book which was in big letters 'Ren Journal. Keep Away or Die'.
"Mission complete," she said in a secretive spy voice. "I win"
Anna knew she was going to win. After all, she was a Charlie's Angel. Wait, she wasn't a Charlie's Angel but oh well. She quickly ran down downstairs and climbed up a tree. There she jumped on top of the Asakura rooftop.
"It took you 4 minutes and 36 seconds to get this journal. Not bad," the stranger said who clicked his watch.
Anna walked toward him and handed him the red book. "I think I'm getting the hang of this." She gleefully gave Hao a smile.
The Asakura twin opened the book into a random page.
Dear Journal,
Today as I walked with Pirika on the sidewalk, we ran into a little boy. Obviously, Pirika said her 'Oohs' and 'Ahhs' but I couldn't believe what he did next. The small 4yr. old poked his finger into his nostril. It wasn't as unusual to me as it seemed because you know how babies are. We were about to walk pass him but then what stopped us was that he raised his finger even more! I never knew you could pick your finger so high in my life! Then the mother came out of the store and finally picked him up. "Now, Tommy, stop picking you nose. You look like as if you were trying to dig out gold or something."
Then it hit me. I never knew you can find gold in your nose! I grabbed Pirika back home and ran into the bathroom. I locked it tight and stuck my finger in my nose hole. All I found was this purple lint and my long lost tiny blue tentacle piece to my stuffed doll 'Oswald'. Unfortunately, I never did find those gold pieces that lady was talking about. Better hope tomorrow.
RenRen.
"That's weird. Doesn't Ren know that there's no such thing to find gold in your nose and it's just a figure of speech?" commented Anna and in the background was Hao's laughter.
"Hahaha It's c-haha-uz he ha-ha-s no haha life." Said Hao.
"Funny," Anna responded sarcastically.
A few minutes later, silence fell upon them as they watched the night sky. Anna stared at this moment. Magnificent stars were twinkling in mid air. They're so beautiful. She smiled. It reminds me. The girl closed her eyes while images filled her mind. The image started to form. It reminds me of… Suddenly a blurry picture came upon the scene. It reminds me of….Yoh. Anna opened her eyes as quick as she did. The smile wore off too busy thinking about why she always thinks about him.
Do I really love Lyserg? Or is this all a lie? Anna turned her head toward Hao. She sighed and asked him question.
"Hao," she said, eyes toward the floor.
The Asakura twin looked at her. "I know what you're thinking about."
Anna looked at him directly. "You do?"
Hao sat down on the ledge of the roof top and signaled her to sit right next to him. "Tell me Anna, who do you love?"
The itako sat beside him. "I don't know anymore." She looked up at the shining moon. "I like Lyserg a lot." Her words started to trail off. "And yet, Yoh always comes to the picture."
"I see."
Silence was among them again. Then the girl stood up. "I think I'll go get another journal for you to read." She skipped back down the pathway with her head in thought.
Anna didn't bother to play 'spy' anymore. She walked up to one room: Yoh's. Anna didn't want to think about her connection with Lyserg or Yoh anymore. Her head would hurt after thinking about it. The girl sighed before entering his room. It was easy to find his journal. It was always by his picture of him and Amidamaru. Anna gently took the book behind the picture frame on his desktop. Yoh's book was orange with the words "Journal" in big black letters. Then the girl wondered.
It wouldn't hurt to read a little bit of it…
She placed herself onto the boy's bed and opened a page of his diary.
Journal,
Today was another day. I had training and cooked dinner. Manta didn't come today so I stayed home. I sat on the couch with Anna and told her this great joke as we watched TV. She gave me that same "No it wasn't funny" and "You shouldn't be thinking about nonsense like that when you really should be thinking about your training."
"I don't seem to remember watching TV with Yoh," she responded thinking it must have been someone else. She flipped through more of his pages.
Hey Journal,
Today, I was so close to confronting my feelings for Anna but my shyness got the best of me.
"This must be that other Anna," she said. Her eyes lowered. This couldn't be her and if this was her, there was nothing she could've done because she was already with Lyserg.
Many people ask me why I love her.
"It's because of what she does for me. There is no other girl like her." Yoh responded to Pirika with Pirika amazed. The Shaman gang was already eating pasta at the restaurant. Yoh and Pirika had barely touched their food. Pirika had finally got Yoh to talk to her and what more can you ask from the young shaman than his ruined relationship.
"Despite how hard she works me, I know she does that because she cares for me so much. Somewhere within her, I know she loves me also. But now, I don't think she will ever know that now."
All Pirika said was, "wow".
"That's not true!"
Yoh and Pirika looked at the person right next to Yoh on the other side. It was Lyserg.
"Although it may seem Anna may love me, how would you know if she really does?! To her, everything's a dream to her- not real. We aren't telling her the truth so how would you know if she really did?!"
"Because she's going to live in that dream forever."
Lyserg's eyes widened. "What?"
Yoh's voice was calm even though he felt the pain inside him. "Anna's going to love you forever and if you break her heart, you may commit a person's suicide. There's nothing you, me, or anyone can do about it."
The English boy turned white. He looked stared at Jeanne for a moment. "I don't want to love Anna." His voice trailed off. "I want to love Jeanne."
After Anna got hit with the sand of those gypsy ladies, I don't know what to do now. I really thought faith wanted me to love her and she would love me. I always thought that the way she treated me was different than anyone else. But it wasn't. The same way she gave negative remarks about me is the same way she smiles at me. My chance is over. Anna loves Lyserg and there's nothing I can do about it.
Anna dropped the book in her hands. Yoh loves me?!
The girl ran back up to Hao still clutching the book. "Hao, please tell me the truth."
Hao, surprised by Anna's coming, looked at her in bewilderment. "OK, shoot."
Anna couldn't look at Hao anymore. "Does Yoh love me?!"
"Yes, I want Anna to stop thinking that she loves you," said Yoh who looked at him as if he had no sleep in days.
Lyserg, who randomly got a pair of glasses and a gray mustache out from his pocket, smiled at him gleefully. "Then we have to think of a way that we haven't thought of before. Because if I love someone else and you love Anna, we would have the rest of our lives in hell!"
Yoh smirked but went back to his straight face. After a few moments, he couldn't hold his gray attitude. The brunette was in thought for days and forgot all about his optimistic self. He smiled his usual smile and went back to normal. Pirika studied his face and sighed in relief. Though, she noticed that everything inside him still hurt and she would stop at nothing to do something about it. Besides, she would have to somehow. The Ainu girl just had to do something so Yoh and Anna would forget about her paying the overdue rent for 3 months.
"And that's what happened," said Hao who just finished the whole story about her amnesia. He told her about the mall, the gypsies, the sand, and Lyserg. After, everything became still. Anna looked at Hao with blank eyes. The Asakura twin backed away worrying that the reaction of Anna would be the worst of his troubles. It was to be minutes before the itako would give a slight effect to Hao's story. Hao stared at her waiting; not knowing what was going on inside her head.
"That's it!" Pirika pointed to Yoh and Lyserg with confusion on their faces.
"What's it?!"
"We should have a sleepover!" Pirika was now standing on her chair. People from other tables looked at her and gave a "What the heck is wrong with her?" look. This even got Ren and Horohoro's attention.
"I am no way going to a sleepover in the same house that I and everyone else here sleep in."
All heads turned to Ren's direction. Being the arrogant boy that he was, he crossed his arms and flung his nose up high. "And there's nothing that you can do about it."
BBBBOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!!!!
Pirika hit him in the face before Ren could react. The Chinese boy fell backward unconscious. The Ainu girl walked back to her seat and dusted her hands. "Now you will." People stared at her but when she noticed them, they started eating again. Horohoro, who looked at Ren in terror, agreed to Pirika's decision.
"Okay, thanks for stopping by Hao, I won't be needing you any longer." Anna was out of her trance and finally said something to the curious boy.
"Um, okae, I guess I'll be g-Ahhh!!" Anna pushed him off the roof top making him land on the hard floor.
-
The girl walked back inside with despair on her face. Her head flung down making herself look at her feet while she walked. The house became very dark and she couldn't see anything. She slowly turned on a light and headed back up the stairs. When she got into Yoh's room, she plunged down to her knees. Why must you love me, Yoh? His book fell to the floor opening to yet another page in his journal.
Diary,
It may seem as much I may not care for her, but I really do. I love her and no one can ever stop it. Anna Kyoyama is my life. Today I read this poem during school. It really made me think:
One day you'll ask me, "If you were to choose between me or your life, which would you choose."
And I would say," My life."
Then you would walk away without knowing…..
That you are my life.
Maybe Anna and I are like that. I can't really tell, but one day, I know she and I will be happy together.
Tears started to form in Anna's eyes. She was torn between to people and she didn't know which to choose. Lyserg was my one and only…..but is he really? He may seem to be there for me, but he isn't. I can see it. Moreover, I know Jeanne likes him. And….and…I guess, he loves her too. So why is he with me? All this time Yoh loved me, and I was too in love to see it. But what would I know? Lyserg telling me that he loves me was a lie. How would I believe that this is true?
Anna looked at herself in the mirror. She sighed. In her heart she knew this wasn't like her to be the way she is. She knew that at some point; she was emotionless. But for the time being, she didn't know what to do. The girl quietly put back the hidden book and returned to her room before anyone noticed.
-
Hao sat silently on the branch of the tree. With his 'handy dandy notebook', he put in another entry: never leave the girl alone.
To Be Continued.
A/N: OMGSh I am so sorry for not updating and making this possibly on of the most hated chapters in the story. I had mucho writer's block. On top of that, my school teachers ate me up, and spit me back right on top of a silver platter. I am soo sorry. I like expected this to come in the middle of November, but I wasn't even done with middle. I'm all off schedule when my stories are coming so it's going to take me a little longer time to get everything straight. I'm sorry everyone.
Oh and I forgot to mention. Oswald is mentioned once. If anyone saw the Nick Jr. show of it, then he would probably become one of your best friends also. If no one gets the switchy back from Anna and Hao to Yoh and Pirika, then I'm sorry if I got you confused. I tried to make it 'connect' but if you didn't get, then I'm sorry for that too.
Sorry for the inconvenience,
Akumei-Chan
