Chapter 15

Ten minutes and twenty seconds exactly have past where there was nothing but the deafening silence. Yoh sat at the same spot on his bed. He ached to stand and stretch, but there was still the matter concerning the blonde standing by the window. She hadn't moved or uttered a word.

"Anna," he called. He didn't care how she would respond. Anything would be better than Anna ignoring him.

"Who are you?" Her words came to him, slow, precise and demanding. "Where did you come from? How are you able to know everything about me? My past, my future, my life. Tell me everything." Anna finally turned to face Yoh. He could see from the dead serious look on her face that one of his clueless expressions or words wouldn't be enough to make her crack a smile.

"My name is Yoh Asakura." He felt ridiculous having to introduce himself to his fiancé. "My brother and I were born with a special ability, one I see as both a gift and a curse."

"Your ability to see the future," Anna added softly. She made her way to the bed and sat on the edge. Her two hands grabbed on to the cheap hospital blanket.

'I've got to get Yoh some better blankets,' the random thought crossed her mind.

"Yes," Yoh replied with a nod. "At first, I thought they were just dreams and nightmares. Everyone had them, so I didn't give it much thought. But then…" he pauses for a moment and shifted. Anna's holds on the blanket tighten, but just ever so slightly that Yoh wouldn't notice.

"Then, I learned the events from my nightmares occurred in reality. Some happened several hours later, some days, and some even months. It was frightening." There was a slight tremble in Yoh's voice. Talking about it only brought back horrible images from the events that ended in deaths. He could still remember every single detail of the murders. The way the victims' faces twisted in fear. The screams for help were enough to make him want to tear off his own ears.

Suddenly, a soft comforting hand came over his. His eyes automatically moved to the jointed hands. It felt nice, and strangely enough, it was able to calm him down. He looked up to find Anna's head still facing the same direction. Her eyes stared blankly out the window.

Yoh smiled. 'Well, what else can I expect. This is Anna after all.'

"As I grew older, I was able to cope with my ability. My brother being able to see the same things helped me out a bit. But at the time, I didn't really agree with his take on the matter. Hao chose to simply ignore the dreams. He felt we shouldn't do anything to alter the future. 'Everything that was meant to happen should happen' was all he usually said. But I disagreed. I felt there had to be a reason why I was given this ability. So I started helping people. The dreams that I was able to locate the time and date of when it will occur, I made sure I was there to help the ones in need. That was how I met with Captain Kenjiro. He is the only other person outside my family who knows everything about ability."

Anna got up and walked back to the window, but then turned around to face Yoh. Her arms slowly rose and crossed just below her chest. "So you were able to know about me through your dreams?"

"Hmmm…" He closed his eyes and thought back on it. A wide grin immediately spread across his face making Anna wonder what exactly he was thinking of. "My dreams about you were the nicest."

Anna arched a brow. His grin was making her uncomfortable. "What are you thinking of? Something perverted?" She narrowed her eyes. Anna still wasn't sure if he was able to dream of any of her private moments…

Yoh opened one of his eyes and looked over at Anna, whose cheek suddenly turned a nice pink. "Why would you say that?" He continued to smile.

"Be serious." She demanded. "What about your brother?"

Yoh snapped back to reality. "Hao… unfortunately he and I see the same things in my dreams." He hated that fact and it was apparent in his voice.

"Unfortunately?" she eyed him.

"Hmph, Hao seeing what I can only brought on the inevitable."

"Which is?" She pressed on, but wasn't prepared for what came out of his mouth next.

"Falling in love with you." Yoh looked straight into Anna's eyes. Her ordinarily half closed eyelids lifted all the way up.

"What?..." Her voice came out in a soft breath. Anna felt strange. She wasn't sure how she was supposed to handle that bit of information. Then, another thought came into mind.

"Yoh!" Her loud voice was unexpected. She walked back to him in quick paces. "Last night, did you dream about anything?" specifically me? She wanted to add by decided to leave out. Her body was leaning in towards Yoh as she waited for his answer.

"I didn't sleep last night. Why?"

Anna huffed out an irritated sigh. "Hao said my future lies with him."

"He did?!" That certainly was news to him. In the all the years he had been dreaming of Anna, all of them pointed towards them being together. True he knew Hao fell in love with Anna also, but in his visions, Anna still stayed with him. Hao knew that. But then again, Yoh did alter an event.

'The accident…' Yoh realized. 'Oh know. What have I done?'

"He also said you have a secret. Something you've been hiding from me." She leaned in even closer. "What is it, Yoh?" Her voice almost came out in a whisper. He felt her breath on his face.

'This is it,' he thought.

Yoh inhaled a lungful of air before saying the words that could cause Anna to leave him forever. "I'm the reason you parents died, Anna."

Ohhhh, what a twist huh? Lol. I bet you guys thought it was going to be something completely different that would come between Yoh & Anna. I didn't think ANY person could break them up. It would be have to something bad, really bad to cause a drift between them. Since I got some time tonight, I'll respond to some reviews.

Yohna: He really is nice to everyone huh? That's why I love him so -o Yoh and Anna eloping, hmmm… that's a possibility, but not in this story lol.

Uncertainly and YamiandAnzu4ever: She did find Jun hugging Yoh! But it wasn't enough to stir things up between Yona. Yeah, I don't have Anna running to Hao either.

Hikaru-wing: It actually scared you? Hmmmm…

Vash: Wow, what a name… OO

Keyo-Red Angel of Hope: You've got a really long sn lol. Yeah, I like Jun who I'm not going to do her wrong. However, it's regrettable to tell you that there won't be any fluff between our Yona anytime soon.

The Evil Liar: Reading your reviews is always fun. Lol.

Chibilee: Yeah I'm still sad about that. But I'll be sure to get my copy of the dvds, once I've collected some money. I'm glad you enjoyed the Manta x Tamao scene! I like Shorty. I think he deserves a girl and who better than the super nice Tamao? Jun former beau… hmmm I think I'll go deeper into that in the sequal. Here's a hint, this one focuses on Yoh x Anna, the will focus on Hao x Ella (she's a twin wink wink) and Ren x Pirika. Yeah, I think Yoh's a lot deeper than what he seems. He just doesn't say anything about it lol.

Kari: It's no problem. I didn't get in trouble; I am the administrator of the site after all. Lol. It' just that we had certain deadlines and I have to do my job if I'm expecting others to do theirs. About the site, I'm trying to find people who are interested in helping me with it. If you are e-mail me at . I'm usually on AIM at night. Specifically around 10:30 PM central time. That's about the time I get home from school.

Rayless-Demon: I've been told by many others of my cruelty. It's really fun . I can't imagine Anna going 'baka' over anything lol. And she certainly would never go baka and marries Hao.

Ryu Isaac: She IS mushy! But hey, it's for the fluff effect so it's all good. And ummm, glad to have helped with your uploading problem.

Darkpochacco: Yes I am making a website, but I need some help at the moment. Like I said earlier, If you are interested in helping e-mail me at .

Ms. Chidon Sagara: Since I updated again, there goes a few minutes of not being bored lol.
