Yoh went to the jewelry shop in town. He looked at every case there is. Finally he found the perfect ring for Anna. It was a white-gold ring with a red gem.
He asked the lady, "How much does that costs?"
The lady smiled. "Well, sir, this only costs 50,000 yen."
Yoh checked his wallet. He remembered that all he earned was 40,000 yen. He sighed.
"Um… lady, can I buy that for 40,000 yen? It's all I got. I have to give this to someone special to me before she wakes up."
The lady asked, "Is she sick or something?"
Yoh nodded. "Something like that. But can I really buy that ring for 40,000 yen?"
The lady smiled and nodded. "Why, certainly. I can understand your situation. You can have it engraved for free."
Yoh nodded. "Yeah. I would like to engrave something under the ring."
The lady handed Yoh a paper. "Please write the words there. It shouldn't be very long or it won't fit."
Yoh wrote three words on the paper and handed it to the lady. The lady smiled. "You can get it after a day or so."
Yoh pleaded, "I must give it to her today. I can feel that she'll be awake today."
The lady nodded. "Very well then. We'll try to get it done in an hour or so. Just come back here."
Yoh smiled. "Thanks."
Yoh walked around the plaza and thought about things. 'I got her the ring. Now I need the wedding preparations. It's gonna be expensive so I need a job again. I have a job but it isn't enough.' So he continued to walk around.
Then, he saw a newspaper's office. It was a tall building with a lot of windows. On the door there was a sign which says:
WANTED: Paperboy and Messenger.
Apply now. See Yahiko upstairs.
Yoh finally a job opening that is easy for him. So he entered and looked around. It was a peaceful place with spirits. He can see two of them in the lounge. A security guard approached him.
"Who are you looking for?" he asked.
Yoh answered, "I'm here for the job. I was suppose to look for Yahiko."
He answered, "So you wanna be a paperboy eh? We already got a messenger."
Yoh nodded. "Just as long as it is an honest job."
The security guard smiled. "Okay. You're on the job."
Yoh was puzzled. "I don't understand…."
The security guard laughed. "Well, if you're looking for Yahiko, you found him already. I'll tell them that I found a paperboy so you could start tomorrow."
Yoh smiled. "Thank you so much sir."
Yahiko laughed. "Call me Yahiko. I don't like being called 'sir'. From now on, I'm your boss. Be here at five so you could start your route. I'll be giving you a map and you'll ride a bicycle."
Yoh nodded. "I will be here at five sharp. I cant' thank you enough."
Yahiko asked, "You're jobless and have a wife and kids?"
Yoh shook his head. "Just a fiancée." Then, Yoh left the building.
Back at the spring, Pirika went to check on Anna. She was so surprised to see Anna sitting on the windowsill.
"Miss Anna!" Pirika stammered. "Why didn't you said that you're already awake. We could have prepared something for you."
Anna replied, "That's not necessary. Where did Yoh go?"
Pirika answered, "I honestly don't know."
Anna nodded. "Call Manta. He'll know the answer."
Pirika nodded and ran downstairs calling Tamao. "Tamao, Anna's awake!"
Tamao sweatdropped and told the customers. "I'm so sorry. Pirika's just excited coz the owner finally woke up after almost two weeks of sleep."
The customers looked puzzled. But they didn't ask questions and continued with their business.
Anna gazed at the sky. 'Yoh loved this kind of sky. I wonder if he's enjoying it…
Tamao knocked on Anna's door. "Miss Anna, is there something you want?"
Anna replied. "Nothing really. Do you know where Yoh is?"
Tamao shook his head. "We have no idea."
Anna nodded. "Does Manta have an idea where Yoh is?"
Tamao shook her head again. "No. He hasn't visited for two days."
Anna replied, "I see. Don't tell Yoh that I'm awake already."
Back at the jewelry shop, the ring Yoh asked for was already done, engraved and all. Yoh paid the lady with no further ado and ran back to the house.
Anna was still sitting at the windowsill when Yoh came back. When Yoh saw Anna, he was speechless. But when Anna saw Yoh, she smiled and left the windowsill.
"Anna…" Yoh said. He looked a bit disappointed. 'Is she mad at me?'
Anna ran downstairs and opened the door. Yoh was surprised to see her there.
"Yoh."
"Anna…" Yoh moved toward Anna.
Anna kept smiling until she slapped him. Tamao, Pirika and the customers were all watching them.
"Anna! That hurts."
"How dare you not feel that I wasn't the one controlling myself? How insensitive of you! Have you already lost your ability to feel that something is different and wrong? How dare you let her kiss you? How dare –"
Yoh placed his finger on Anna's lips, to stop her from talking. Tamao and the others just kept watching that moment.
"Anna," Yoh said. "I'm sorry. Horo-Horo told me that all you did was signs in order for me to ask you to marry me."
"How dare –" Anna started but Yoh stopped her again.
"Listen to me, just for a minute. After that, you can start screaming again." Yoh said annoyingly. Anna looked into his angry eyes. Then, his eyes became calm.
He started again. "I really love you, Anna. I know that being my fiancée is a big deal and I want to do this right." He took the ring's case from his pocket. Then he kneeled in one knee and continued, "While you were asleep because of Elrich, I worked hard just to get this." He opened the case. "It's red. I don't know your favorite color so I bought a red ring to match your bandana. Now, to finish this speech, I want to ask you. Will you ma–"
This time Anna stopped him but not the way Yoh did. She got to his level, placed her arms around his neck, and kissed his lips. Yoh was indeed surprised yet he kissed her back, hugging her.
The crowd all chorused, "Aawww.."
Then, Anna and Yoh stood up and looked at them. Anna giggled.
Yoh smiled. "That was the first time I heard you giggle."
Anna smiled. "This was the first time you got brave enough to stop me from talking."
Yoh kneeled again. "Now, let me finish it. Anna, will you marry me?"
Anna smiled and answered, "Yes." Yoh finally placed the ring on her finger.
