Ding, a small blonde boy poked his head through the door. He entered, looking left and right as if expecting to find someone in particular.
" Hey Manta!" Tamao greeted him cheerfully. " What are you looking for?"
" Oh, I told a friend to meet me your shop. But I don't know if he made it here yet or not." Manta stopped searching after realizing there was only them two in the room. It didn't take long to look around the shop since it was fairly small. You haven't seen him have you?" He asked Tamao as he walked up to her.
" Hmmmm.... are you talking about the tall brunett?" Tamao asked back, looking down at the little guy. She smile as she thought how adorable Manta looked. He hasn't changed a bit since she knew him. Still the same jumpy guy who overreacts at everything, and as short as ever.
" Yeah yeah!" Manta nodded his head furiously. " I told him about Anna and how accurate her furtunes are. You see, Yoh doesn't really believe in those types of stuff..." he trailed off as he finished the sentence.
" Oh... I see..."
----------
" What's up, Manta?!" a familiar voice greeted happily. Manta turned around to find his friend, a huge grin clearly visible on his face and a very pissed off Anna right behind him. But the grin on Yoh wasn't the same one he usually wore. It wasn't the same lazy grin and his eyes seem to be sparkling.
" Yoh! So you did make it here. Umm... what's wrong with Anna?" Manta pointed at the blond who stood in her same position with her arms crossing her chest. He wasn't sure what he said or did wrong, but Anna did looked more ticked off after he asked the question.
" So Anna is it?" Yoh asked turning to face the angry blonde. " That's a pretty name for a pretty gi..."
" Don't you even think of finishing that sentence!" Anna threatened sternly. Manta and Tamao looked at each other, both now more than a little confused. " So Shrimp, you're the one who told this... Yoh, that I run a dating service huh?" Anna went back to her dull icy tone. Manta found it scary, but he grew use to it. Though Anna seem cold and icy on the outside, which scares off too many guys for Manta to count, she still had a good heart. However, you rarely see the good-hearted side.
" Wha...?!" Manta's mouth dropped. " No I never told him that!" Manta jumped and yelled defensively. " Why would you tell her I told you something like that, Yoh?" Yoh laughed loudly at his tiny friend.
" Calm down, Manta. I was only joking. " Yoh laughed some more.
" Oh..." Manta looked over at Anna whose expression remain the same. " So Anna... will you be able to tell furtunes for us? I wanted Yoh to see how great you are."
" I can already see that," Yoh quickly said flashing Anna another smile.
" Whatever, come on and hurry cause I have appointments with other customers." Anna walked into the little room once more with Yoh and Manta trailing happily after.
-----------
Anna could feel her face burning. Why does he insist on staring at me? And after I threw him so many dirty looks. How simply annoying. Anna thought to herself as she now tried to avoid eye contact with Yoh.
" Ughhh... Anna?" Manta finally uttered disturbing her train of thought.
" Huh?" Anna lifted her head. Manta's face filled with confusion while Yoh's grin widen as he continued to stare.
" When are you going to start?" Anna looked down at her crystal orb as a small glow begin to emit from it.
" I guess now is good." Anna looked straight into the orb as it grew brighter by the second and the overhead light grew dim. Soon , the only visible light was the one emitting from the orb. Yoh became interested as did Manta. Though Manta's been to Anna many times to have his fortunes told, he still can't seem to hold down his excitment everytime this happened.
" Asakura Yoh..." Anna spoke softly in the darkness. " You have one question. Choose wisely."
" I know the answer to this one already, but maybe you can confirm it. Who will I spend the rest of my life with?"
Figures he'll ask something like that. Ann thought bitterly. She looked deeper into the orb as a vision was coming to her. " You future looks... comfortable as you have wish to live your life. Right now, you are searching for someone, the someone who will make you whole. This someone... is a girl... the one who you will spend the rest of your life with." The visions were flowing into her head quicker than ever before.
" Who is she?" Yoh asked, more into it than he'd like to admit. A vision of the girl was slowly coming to Anna.
" I see her... she's....!!" Anna stopped suddenly as everything went back to the way they were when they had just entered the room.
" What happened?" Manta asked looking around when the light illuminated the tiny room once more.
" I have to go!" Anna ran out quickly before any of them could utter a word.
" Anna, what's wrong?" Yoh and Manta could hear Tamao asking from outside. All they heard was the opening and closing of the door in reply.
" I wonder what's wrong with Anna." Manta looked over at Yoh who had a hint of sadness in his eyes.
" I guess she just wasn't ready to see it..."
----------
What the hell is going on? Anna thought to herself as she walked slowly across the small arched bridge at the local park. She stopped at the middle and looked down at the frozen river which use to run through there. Why did I see that vision? It must have been a mistake... but it was so clear. How can this be? " Arghhhhhh!!!" Anna screamed out loud not caring who could hear here. She screamed on until she felt satisfy.Then, out of nowhere, Anna started to laugh. How simply ridiculous and annoying. " So Yoh, it seems girl you're going to be spending the rest of your life with... is me."
