--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 6
Anna and Yoh was thinking of keeping this to themselves and not telling the heads of the Asakura family back in Izumo about the weird change in Anna… however it seems like fate has a plan for them instead.
A week after the last chapter Anna and Yoh had another visitor… and it was in fact Master Mikihisa, Kino-sensei and Master Yohmei with Tamao and Hao, who were the ones who told them about Anna's change.
"Why are you here?" Yoh asked as soon as he gets the door, everyone of his friends are also out today.
"I told them about Miss Anna and I hope that maybe they could help. I'm really sorry Master Yoh." Tamao said acting sweetly again.
"I'm not mad but Anna's fine. You don't have to really see her." Yoh insisted.
"We are the ones who will be the judge of that." Yoh's grandma said while she enters the house.
Well since Kino already entered Yoh was left with no choice… this is one big family reunion.
------
Once they were inside the main room where they received their guest Anna and Tamao served the tea at once.
"One of the Asakura treasures has been stolen from our temple Yoh." Yohmei started.
"That's why we came here." Mikihisa added.
"What treasure?" Anna asked politely, the first shock to the three.
"See I told you Anna changed." Hao interrupted.
Yohmei then coughed as Mikihisa continued.
"The Diamant." Mikihisa said, "It is a powerful gem that can change people's attitudes, appearances and even memories. Anna's case in an example of such change."
"But Master Mikihisa I don't feel anything at the moment." Anna said as she senses that Yoh is beginning to worry.
"Of course you don't feel anything because sometimes the change that happened to you seems normal." Kino explained seeing how the Diamant changed her student.
"So where's the Diamant? Maybe we can use it to bring Anna back to normal." Yoh said and with that Anna can't help to look at Yoh at once.
'Does he want the old Anna back?' Anna began to wonder.
"The truth is…" Yohmei said with a serious stare.
"We don't know." Mikihisa continued with a chuckle.
"But according to our ancestors the one who stole the Diamant would also feel the wrath of its power…" Kino explained.
"You mean you're suspecting that I stole it because I was the first one who appeared to have changed." Anna concluded.
"Yes. Apparently…" Yohmei answered with seriousness still in his eyes.
"But that couldn't be! Anna was attacked!" Yoh shouted.
"We're still not saying that she's the one but she's just one of the suspects." Mikihisa said.
"Now maybe the Talisman of truth can figure this one out." Tamao suggested.
"You're right. I did bring it here." Yohmei said as he began to search his pockets.
But he still continued to search even up to his bags.
"You forgot to bring it." Kino interrupted.
"No! I brought it you saw me…" Yohmei said looking at Mikihisa.
"I saw you put it in your pockets." Mikihisa said as they continue to search
"Maybe it was stolen." Tamao suddenly interrupted.
Everyone then looked at her, and then she suddenly blushed and looked down.
"I'm just suggesting that maybe someone stole it and disabled its power for us to not know the truth." Tamao said.
"If that is so… Anna… could we look in your room?" Kino suddenly asked.
"Of course. I have nothing to hide." Anna said as she stood up with a smile on her face.
Everyone then stood up and followed Anna to her room.
When Kino entered she saw everything in just one glance. She then turned to the cabinet and started to walk towards it. When she opened it she let her hands dig out something from under the folded blankets and futons. When she pulled her hands out she finally saw it… the Talisman of truth… with its power disabled.
Anna's eyes were wide in shock, so as Yoh.
"How did that got there?" Hao suddenly asked.
"I swear… I didn't… I couldn't…" Anna said barely speechless about all this.
They then went back to the main room where they were before.
"We need to have a talk with Anna." Yohmei suddenly said as Mikihisa also enters.
Once Mikihisa as well as Tamao is already there, the doors were shut closed from Hao and Yoh.
------
"Anna couldn't do that." Yoh muttered.
"I wonder why they didn't let us in on that type of decision-making." Hao said suggesting a different topic.
"It's not fair! Anna's innocent." Yoh suddenly shouted.
"Don't worry my little brother I also believe in Anna."
"You do!" Yoh said as his face starts to lighten up a bit.
"Of course. But if she was the one who stole the Diamant then that means we could no longer see her maybe they'll find you another wife. They could still cancel the marriage… since they set up everything in the first place." Hao said lightheartedly.
"What do you mean?"
"Anna only agreed to be your fiancée because she wants a Shaman King for her husband… now since she saw how many Shamans are out there she want to make some things sure… so she stole the Diamant. Don't worry Yoh I'm sure there are lots of girls out there just begging to be your wife and besides Anna really didn't love you." Hao explained.
"But I love Anna."
"Yes I know… but you only say that because she's the only girl you know that well. I bet if you give yourself a chance to meet other girls you'll realize that what you felt with Anna wasn't that real."
"Are you saying that I should forget about her?"
"Hmm. That still depends on you… but yes."
"But…"
"Like I said. That still depends on you little brother." Hao said and with that he stood up realizing that the meeting inside was already finished.
Yoh looked at Anna. Her face was depressing. It was as if she did something horrible like she would be thrown out of this house that instant.
"We have talked about this." Yohmei said.
"And we have come to a decision." Mikihisa added making Hao smile a bit and Yoh worried.
He doesn't want another fiancée, he wanted Anna and if it isn't her the he would rather be single for the rest of his life.
"We were still not sure whether it was Anna or not." Kino made it clears first before anyone tells anything.
But Anna was already worried a lot, her heart was beating fast being so nervous to lose Yoh, she doesn't know what to do… if she was the Anna before she was sure that she would stay calm and collected at a time like these but unfortunately her emotions are a lot stronger now than before.
"I did it!" Anna suddenly shouted.
"What?" Yoh muttered at once, obviously shocked to what she said.
"I did it! And I just want to tell all of you… that… you don't have to push me away because I'm already leaving!" Anna said and with that she ran to her room upstairs.
"Anna's innocent can't you see that!" Yoh shouted in outrage.
"Yoh… are you forgetting who you are talking to?" Mikihisa scolded at once.
"I'm sorry but I just want to tell you that whatever the decision is. I'm staying with Anna."
"Yoh… you're just overreacting again."
"No father, I'm not. I'm very sure about my decision… I love Anna and if you have a problem with that then… I'm going too." Yoh shouted and with that he also runs to follow Anna.
"And you once said that I'm the black sheep of this family." Hao said jokingly.
----------
When Yoh got in the room he saw Anna already dumping her clothes on a huge bag.
"Are you sure you want to leave?" Yoh asked making Anna halt a bit.
"That's where it would end anyway." Anna whispered as she wiped her tears.
"You don't have to leave. Please don't leave."
"As much as I want to do that… I can't…" Anna said starting to cry again, she then went back to where she was, packing up all her clothes.
Anna seemed determined to leave but Yoh wouldn't let her even if she really wanted to.
With that he was left with one plan –to hold Anna and never let her go.
He suddenly walked behind her and wrapped his arms around her.
"Yoh…you're making it harder for me to leave." Anna whispered as tears gushed down from her eyes.
"Good… for I will never let you leave. If I would have to hold you like this forever then I will. You told me you love me… why do you have to go then? I'm confused." Yoh said as his embrace becomes tighter.
"I'm sorry for confusing you but… why do you still want me? I'm mean to you; I often force you to do those hard trainings. I'm not as sweet as Tamao nor am I as expressive as Pirika and definitely not as beautiful as Jun… see there are a lot girls out there that are more worthy than I. So why?" Anna asked.
Yoh felt Anna's hand trying to struggle her way out.
"I love you… I love you… I really do…" he whispered in her ear.
As his voice tickled her ears Anna lost the will to go away, inside of her she didn't want to go… she tried to resist that feeling… but with what Yoh was doing to her… how could she push herself to leave?
"Yoh… I love you too."
"Then don't go… even if I'm banished from the Asakura clan… I would risk that… for you."
"Yoh... you wouldn't."
"I would because even if I would be given the most beautiful, the kindest and most alluring woman in the world for my fiancée I would still choose you. You're my wife and I don't want that fact to be ignored. You're my wife not because they set that up… you're my wife because I chose to be with you."
Yoh was starting to cry as well. It was getting harder for him to convince Anna. He doesn't know what to do anymore.
"And I know… that you chose to be my wife because of the same thing. Because you love me too!"
"Really." Anna said as she continues to cry, she now realizes how Yoh loves her very much… she's very lucky, "if that is the case… then I would not go… I can't leave you."
"Thank you." Yoh said as his grip started to get loose giving the chance for Anna to turn around and face him.
Yoh saw the tears Anna was shedding the whole time.
"Last time I remember you're the one making me cry." Yoh said to Anna as he wipes her tears with his thumb.
Anna just gave a chuckle.
"You're crying too." Anna just said.
Yoh wiped his eyes. The sheepish grin was back on his lips.
"Ja! Let's go back to them… this time you shouldn't worry about leaving." Yoh said grabbing Anna's arm.
"Okay." Anna agreed.
And with that the two started to run back… leaving the cluttered room.
-------------
"What's the decision by the way? Can I be Yoh's new fiancée?" Tamao suggested to them.
"Well…" Yohmei started but Kino suddenly halted him.
Tamao stood confused when Kino suddenly opened her palm in front of Tamao.
"What are you doing? Kino… sensei?" Tamao asked.
"Tamao, give me back the Diamant. I know you took it."
Tamao was shocked to see that this old woman knows about her secret all along …and she thought that she can't be caught… well she was wrong.
"Do you know about this Master…? Mikihisa… Master Yohmei?" Tamao asked seeking someone to side with her.
"We have known this but couldn't believe it… now we saw the truth."
"Better if you hand it over before you get hurt." Mikihisa said.
Tamao then looked down, her face dark as she just stood there.
"I can't… I won't!" Tamao shouted as she lifts up her gaze.
"Give it to us!" Kino commanded.
"Never!" Tamao shouted back and with that she took the diamant in her pocket and used it to make her vanish.
"She won't get away." Yohmei said as he was about to start his chant but Hao suddenly stopped him.
"Let her be… she'll soon learn her lesson. I can take care of her for you."
"We trust you Hao." Kino said as she started to leave.
"Tell Yoh that we just showed our way out." Yohmei added following the old woman.
"We'll be heading back to Izumo again. Be good son." Mikihisa said.
"Don't worry you can count on me dad." Hao said with a smile.
As soon as they left and called a cab Yoh finally went back to where Hao was with Anna with him.
"Where is everybody?" Yoh asked.
"They left. It was Tamao who stole the Diamant and so that means you two would still be together after all." Hao explained.
"Thank you Hao." Anna said.
"I got to go… I have more important things to take care of."
"Thanks again… oniichan." Yoh smiled.
"I know… bye." And with that he suddenly leaped and vanished.
