LOL! you guys totally cheated on the reviews, but oh wells. Thanks everyone for the effort Here's chapter 12 as promised. Please forgive me if some of the cast are out of character, especially Pirika and Jun. I really have no idea how Pirika is and Jun, I just needed somebody for this role so why not her. Besides, she's the reason Ren got into the story .

"Are you sure this is the room?" The green haired girl turned to her brother who was growing more annoyed by the moment.

"Yes, Jun, that's the room!" He exploded. "My men have never steered me wrong."

"Ok. Here goes..." She opened the door quietly to find a smiling brunett sitting on the bed. 'He knew I'll be here and is welcoming me with a smile.' Jun became hopeful. 'Maybe... maybe he will come back with me.'

" Oh! And here's a cup of milk to wash down the donuts!"

"Huh?" Jun looked to the side to find an excited blue haired girl offered Yoh a glass of milk.

"Thanks, Pirika," he replied gratefully. " You know you don't have to do this. I'm fine, really. I don't blame you at all."

"Don't be silly! I was the one driving the car and wasn't watching where I was go..."

"What's with the incessive noise?" Ren stuck his head in the room drawing both Yoh's and Pirika's attention.

"Ren! Jun!?" Yoh exclaimed excitedly. "What are you guys doing here?"

"Umm..." Jun tried to find the right things to say. The truth would be a bit embarrassing. What normal girl would send out hired help just to find a guy, who doesn't even love her for that matter, all around the world? Jun suddenly thought herself pathetic..

"Who are you people?" Pirika set down the treats she brought for Yoh on a nearby table and began walking towards them.

"So you're the noisy one." Ren ignored her question. "You should tone down your voice a bit since this is a hospital you know." A smirk started to appeared as he watch the girl standing in front of him turn red.

Pirika's eyebrows furrowed. 'Who does this jerk think he is?' She could feel her face getting hot from anger. She was about to explode at him when Yoh interrupted.

"Why don't you guys come in? I'm sure we have a lot of catch up on," Yoh offered pleasantly. Jun nodded with a smile, but Ren had other plans.

"No thanks! I have better things to do rather than sit here and swap stories with you." Ren crossed his arms and stuck his nose in the air.

'He's exactly the way I remembered him.' Yoh thought.

"Ok, I'll call you when I'm done here," Jun said softly to her younger brother, thankful that he knew she needed some time to talk to Yoh alone. Ren just nodded and left. Pirika watched as he closed the door behind him before turning around to eye Jun suspiciously as the Chinese girl took a seat next to Yoh's bed.

'Who's that girl? She's inching way to close to Yoh there.' Pirika noticed and didn't like it one bit. It wasn't because she was jealous, well maybe a little since she's developed a small crush on the always smiling boy. Seeing the smile on his face was always refreshing and it could brighten up anyone's day. But she was more concern for Anna at the moment.

Pirika still couldn't believe how bold Anna was, announcing she was Yoh's future wife. In fact, everyone in the room was equally stunned, except for Yoh and his twin brother, Hao.

'That Anna, she sure is something else.' Pirika remembered herself thinking after she recovered from the sheer shock from Anna's annoucement. At first glance, she could already tell the almost emotionless blonde wasn't your typical girl. Perhaps that's why she attracted so many guys' attentions, and it didn't hurt that she was also incredibly beautiful. Tamao once told Pirika that Anna's icy, and sometimes cruel, attitude drove guys away before they could even get to know her, the real Anna. Yoh was the first guy who stayed persistent, and it seemed he was able to bring out a little of the nicer, more caring Anna that disappeared for so long. That's why Pirika decided they were perfect for each other, and she didn't allow her little crush to develope into something more. Though it was tempting at times, especially when she was alone with him.

"Are you okay, Yoh?" Pirika's eyes widen when Jun placed her hand on top of Yoh's.

'Oh no she didn't!' Pirika decided to take action. "So Yoh, how's your fiance, Anna?!" She made sure to ask loud enough for everyone in the room to hear. "Did she come visit you this morning? I bet she came real early since I know you two can't stand to stay apart for long."

'Fiance...?' Jun brought her hand and place it on her lap. 'I guess a lot has changed since he left.'

"Anna's great. Or at least she seemed to be when she left this morning to shower for work?" Yoh answered, completely clueless as to what Pirika was trying to do.

The answer was a bit unexspected. Pirika came extra early to bring the treats for Yoh and planned to spend a little bit of time with him before going to school. "Wow she must have came extra early cause I didn't see or passed by her when I came in."

"Oh, she spend the night and left about ten minutes before you came in," he replied casually. Pirika's and Jun's jaw dropped slightly.

'Geez! That's not what I expected at all, but oh wells. Maybe this girl will back off now.' Pirika then smiled in victory. She loved the feeling of being the winner, even with something as stupid and small as this. Her eyes shifted to the digital clock above Yoh's bed and almost flipped learning she was already late for school.

"Oh no! I'm late! I have finals today!" Pirika shrieked with her arms threw in the air wildly.

Yoh almost laughed out loud at the frantic girl. He thought it was cute how she always managed to get worked up over everything, however big or small it may be. "You better get going then."

"Yeah, I'll see you later!" Pirika was out the door a second later.

Yoh turned back to Jun, a frown now replaced the hopeful smile she wore when first arrived. He was sadden to see her that way. It was all his fault for leading her on, even though it was unintentional.

"I'm sorry, Jun..." he appologized softly, unable to look at her in the eyes.

"You left without saying goodbye," Jun finally choked out, her eyes also down looking at the floor.

Yoh wanted to kick himself at that moment, but given his current physical state, that was quite impossible. He sighed and reached over to take her hand in his dispite the excruciating pain shooting throughout his body.

"That was... a selfish thing of me to do." Yoh placed his hand on top of her's. " But please believe that everything I did was the best for everyone."

Jun's face twisted in confusion. 'How could leaving me and breaking my heart be best for everyone?' she thought bitterly to herself. She stilled remembered that day clearly as if it was imprinted in her mind to remind her how he never loved or care for her. That morning, everything seemed perfect. The sun was out shinning extra bright and the birds chirped in delight as they flew around playfulling in the well contructed courtyard garden. Jun got up early to cook breakfast just for Yoh and herself. She held the tray in her hands tightly as she made her way to his room, but everything soon feel and spilt on the wooden floor once Jun came upon Yoh's empty room. All Yoh's belongings, which he usually kept at a corner by his bed, were all missing.

She remembered it all, including how she spend the whole day looking for him and crying at night when she was too exhualted to search any further. But now, the guy she had been desperatly searching for this whole time was telling her what he did was 'best for everyone?' Jun almost snorted at his cluelessness.

----------

The cold morning wind attacked Pirika's face as she bolted for her car parked in the visitor's parking lot. Luckily it was wasn't far from the building. She felt uncomfortable having to run with all her winter gears. What with the huge and heavy snow boots, her layers and layers of clothes, her hat and earmuffs, Pirika could tell she looked ridiculous. She was relieved to see there wasn't anyone outside who could witness her crazy getup until...

"My my, what a funny sight," a familiar voice came to her. She turned around to see the owner of the voice as she continued to run. As expected, the clearly European accented voice belonged to the raven haired boy whom she really didn't want to see at the moment.

'Argh, I really want to take my boots and shove it up his...' Pirika suddenly tripped on something before she could finish her thought. She landed face first on the snow covered grass. Luckily, the layers of clothing and 3 inches of snow lesser then pain.

"God this is embarrassing!" She mumbled with her face still buried in the snow. A faint sound of laughter could be heard nearby. 'Is that jerk actually laughing at me?!' Pirika's hands gather up some snow. Then with suprising swiftness, managed pushed herself up and hurl both fists full of snow squarly at Ren's face. She smiled in triumph before quickly running to her car. Pirika was long gone when Ren finally recovered from bring hit in the face.

He stared at the direction Pirika's car disappeared to. "Hump, I'll get you for that," assured out loud. Then a sly smile spread across his face. "This is goind to be fun." There was a tinge in excitement in his voice for the loud and spunky Pirika had sparked his interest.

----------

Anna found herself standing alone at a bridge. The very same one where Yoh first hugged her, the one she discovered new found feelings, the same place where she first fell in love. After her encounter with Hao, Anna never made it home to shower or nor did she show up for work. She just walked, and continued to walk until she reached this very spot.

The conversation with Hao left her shaken. She would actually admit, at that moment, she was scared. Hao's words played over and over again in her head as she wander around town.

''...your future lies with me... Yoh has a secret... you'll hate him... dark secrets... your love will die..."

Her head begin to spin. She wanted to scream, but couldn't find the energy. The thought of not being with Yoh any longer drained every ouce of strength in her.

'What'd going on? I feel so weak.' Her hands suddenly found the ring on the necklace. She squeezed it tight until her knuckles turned white. 'Don't you dare break my heart, Yoh...'
