Chapter Four
The sun was nearly setting when Yoh finished his work for he day. Exhausted from too much work, he plopped himself carelessly on the davenport. Relishing the comfort it gives to him. Well, comparing his futon in his house and the large convertible embellished sofa, this was like heavens. 'I really need to doze off for a little bit' he thought as his eyelids gradually closed.
:':':':':'YOH'S Dream':':':':':
"Wow! Is this a playground?" inquired Yoh in amazement.
His mind begged to iffer. 'BAKA! If you still haven't noticed it, let me have the honor of telling it to you. You're in your dream you nincompoop!'
"ehehehe…" Yoh sweatdropped.
The scenery was pleasing to his eyes, a green land full of orange trees. For now, that was all he wanted. 'YUM! I think I don't wanna wake from this dream anymore' he grinned sheepishly at the thought while taking a bite at the orange he picked earlier.
Afterwards, an idea popped into his head. "If this is a dream… this means that I cn do and have anything that I desire… hmmm…" the brunette adjusted his headphones and contemplates on what thing exavtly would he do.
"I got it!" he exclaimed triumphantly.
"I wish Manta was here!"
/ POof! ( and they became Koko Krunch! .) /
Manta momentarily appeared beside Yoh.
"It's Nice to see you at my dream, Manta!"
Instead of replying, the computer genius only nodded and smiled at his friend. Once again, Yoh is becoming sleepy. (he always does!) So he decided to take a nap since no one would dare to disturb his tranquil rest.
MEANWHILE…
Anna drove back at the Kinhoshin Main Branch after cooling her mind off at the Funbari Park. The words said to her earlier by a strange old lady which is till lingering through her thick skull boggled her mind the most.
The man destined to you shall appear right before your very eyes
amidst the fog surrounding thee.
Once you found him, never ever let go.
For he will be the one who shall banish all your demons
When all else fails…
She skillfully parked her car at the lot excusive for her and headed immediately to the elevator. Lots o bows and greetings could be seen and heard as she takes a step further. Entering her lifeless office, she felt her legs slightly tremble. 'I didn't think that all of those thinking would drain my energy this much… maybe this will wear off after I relax on m davenport while watching my favorite soap opera…' Upon seeing a figure n her million-dollar worth furniture, she glared viciously at the man, also known as her personal janitor, Asakura Yoh.
"As far as I know, I'm not wasting money paying for a sleepy head like you just to dilly dally here!" an angered tone is apparent on her voice as she scowled.
"Manta, I'm very tired… just a few more minutes…"
Hearing the statement, Anna clenched her fists. Not even once in her life someone dared to annoy her. Moreover, she was mistaken for somebody else and that triggered her 'run-or-I'll-turn-you-to-a-bloody-pulp' mode.
"Grr… you've had it jerk!" yelled Anna as she whacked poor Yoh on his head. Yoh's eyes snapped open and the pain on his head was slowly registering on his brain. The excruciating pain was knocking his wits out of his head. He had no idea what was really going on. But seeing that her boss was in front of him and ready to chop his head off, he prayed mentally to Kami that his life be saved from the wrath of her boss.
"Mad…Madaamm… go…go…gome…gomen… nasss…sai…"
Anna, who was still flaring in anger, looked at Yoh intently. However, before the enraged CEO could utter a reply, the young Asakura continued. "Promise, It won't happen again… it's just… it's just…"
"SILENCE!"
Yoh brought himself to a halt. He didn't want himself to be fire after working for only a day. Besides, he liked it already here.
"As a punishment…" The brunette was sweating profusely while waiting for Anna to kick his butt out of her company.
"You'll have a vacation at my mansion."
"What?" Yoh couldn't believe what he had heard. 'A vacation! I must be going nuts! This isn't what she really said, ne? Or am I still dreaming…?'
Examining the surface of the table to see it was dust-free, Anna's finger made contact to the furniture. Seeing that it was clean, she proceeded on her wine bar with a satisfied expression plastered on her face. 'I must say that he did a good job considering that a lot of mess was left here earlier. She opened the bottle of white wine and placed ice cubes on her glass. Sensing that Yoh was about to leave, she called him.
"Asakura."
Yoh stopped dead on his tracks and remained standing while waiting for what would she say.
"Stay here and keep me company" Coming from the blonde, the statement was more of a command rather than a request. And that was expected of course.
Yoh sat across Anna and saw her drinking an awful amount of liquor. Minute later, the CEO's vision was turning hazy and her head was aching so hard, she could imagine a thousand people pounding her head mercilessly. 'The man destined to you…' Unable to control her sense of balance, she fell from her seat. Yoh, who was alarmed, caught her in his arms just in the nick of time. Like a knight in shining armor, (the author vomits) he scooped her in his strong arms and laid her on the couch.
He rose from his position but he lousily tripped causing himself to be on top of Anna. He begins to blush like crazy. Unconsciously, Anna brought his head close to her, lips just millimeters away from his. Yoh blushed more with distinct shades of red.
"Anna-san I forgot to-" Tamao stopped in the middle of her sentence, seeing the awkward position of the two. Horo Horo, who was behind the timid secretary, took a peek on what was happening.
"Hey guys, its not what you think! She was drunk… and …and I tripped over… and…" The young janitor blushed furiously in sheer embarrassment.
"And what Yoh?" asked the Ainu with a malicious glint visible in his eyes.
"You…you and Anna-san…" Tamao was nearly toppling in a matter of seconds. Disappointment could be seen right through her delicate face. 'If… if… they…'
"tsk tsk… taking advantage of our boss, eh?" teased Horo Horo.
"I SAID IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK IT IS!" He was shocked when he yelled a tone he haven't used before.
The two froze like a statue. Then they listened at the narration of Yoh on what really happened. After what it seemed forever, (because Horo was asking non stop) Tamao and Horo Horo both nodded nonchalantly and looked at Yoh.
"You must marry her." Horo Horo told him seriously.
"Nani!" Yoh' eyes bulged out, almost dropping them to the floor.
"Just kiddin'"
"Stop joking Horo Horo. Anyways, I still have many work to do, I should be going home." declared Tamao.
"Me too." said the Ainu.
"You should take Anna-san to her home." both said in unison.
Tamao suggested to Yoh. "Why don't you drive her car? The keys are at her table."
"But I don't even know where her house is!" protested the brunette.
"Don't worry, her car has a built-in map system so you two should be there in no time." Added the CEO's secretary.
"Alright" Yoh admitted his defeat.
"Then we're off."
Yoh grabbed the car's key and took Anna in a lover's carry. As the elevator went down, he had a glimpse of Tokyo's scenic appearance. Too absorbed of the sight of the lickering lights, he didn't notice that it started to rain.
'This is gonna be a long night' he told himself in exasperation before getting out of the elevator.
