YAY! next chapter! My first chapter ficcy!
Thank you to all who reviewed! If you need to see ages or anything, that was in the first chapter. I still dunno if I should keep going on the fic Mothers, but I'll keep going on this one in the meantime. I hope to have another chapter up tomorrow, too!
Disclaimer: I don't own shaman king
Anna was inside her own head, off in her own dreamland. The place was very nice, with everything Anna could ever want, or ever dream of having. Her perfect world. She was surrounded by things she couldn't have in the real world, that horrible place where nothing went right. Meaning she was content in her queen size bed with down comforters, surrounded by friends and,
'Yoh,'
Link
Yoh Asakura awoke with a start. He had heard his name. Looking around, however, he was only greeted with faces of shamans and a human who were asleep. But someone had just said his name, hadn't they?
Yoh shook his head, he must have still been dreaming. He smiled for no particular reason, and picked up the blatantly orange headphones laying next to his pillow. Turning them on, he decided to go for a walk. He walked out of the bedroom, toward the bathroom.
When he had finished his usual wake-up procedure, he continued walking down the hall, humming to his music. He paused at the door of the room that belonged to his fiancee. His dream had been about her. It was strange.
He had been trying to win a shaman fight and was exhausted, when all of a sudden this burst of energy came from his heart. He could feel only one person supporting this link, and it was her.
'Anna,' he thought, and continued past her doorway, down the hall, and out into the sunny day that awaited them in Dobe Village.
Anna awoke. The voice inside her head had made her. She yawned, wishing to go back to sleep, but stood up, against her own will. Her white nightgown trailed behind her as she came to the smell table in her room.
'Oh, That's right,' Anna thought. 'I gave Yoh that potion yesterday... Eek! He can hear me!'
Anna took a deep breath and focused on clearing her mind of all thoughts that could be potentially harmful to her,... or her reputation.
'You're all I ever wanted,'
What was that?
Anna smiled discretely, figuring it out. It was Yoh. He was singing, in his head. Anna let out a giggle, certain that her thoughts would never be heard over the music of Yoh's headphones, and then feeling quite comforted. She started to hum quietly the song that Yoh was singing, and began to clean up the desk.
She liked these times, when she was alone and could let her mask down. She felt quite secure when she was alone, not as secure as when she was with Yoh, but secure nonetheless. And now she could be alone, and with Yoh, at nearly the same time... if that made any sense. She giggled at her own musings, and returned to humming, while sweeping ingredients into the trash bin.
She then went to the bathroom, washing up and showering, all while humming the songs that came up in Yoh's headphones.
'I guess I'll never have to ask Yoh for his headphones again,' Anna thought, bemused. Finished with the bathroom, she dressed and then stood by her door.
She faced it, and took a deep breath. She concentrated hard, ridding all herself of any emotion. Her face, giggling earlier, showed no signs of having ever learned to laugh, and her eyes, sparkling just seconds before, now showed a bored expression.
This was her mask, her everyday ritual. The person she showed to everybody, and let down when she was alone.
She opened her door, on her way to the kitchen
"G-g-good M-m-morning, Anna," Tamora greeted, setting down a bowl of rice in front of the frightening Itako. Tamora looked hopefully at her.
Anna ignored her and tasted the food. "It's fine," Anna said.
Tamora let out a sigh, and went to see Trey.
"Morning, Anna!"
Anna almost smiled. Before her was her own fiancee, the one she hummed with all morning. But technically, she hadn't been with him, and so she kept her mask on.
'Good Morning, Yoh,' she thought, sounding indifferent.
Yoh stared. He had heard it, but her mouth didn't move. Last night came crashing back into his mind.
'Glad to see you remember,' Anna said. 'I really do hope you usually remember what has gone a day ago, and not forget,'
"Of course, Anna! I just didn't remember last night!"
Now to the usual observer, this would be quite odd. Two people staring at each other, as if they were talking, but their mouthes weren't moving, and suddenly one speaks up about something that had nothing to do with anything previously audible. Which is why Morty, standing at the door, was quite confused. He decided not to make his presence known, however.
"Well, then, learn to remember things more often. SHORTY! COME IN HERE AND WATCH YOH WHILE HE TRAINS! AND DON'T LET HIM SLACK OFF!"
"Y-y-yes, Anna!"
Anna then calmly stood from her chair, and went to watch TV in her bedroom.
"Here we go, then, Morty," Yoh addressed the short little blonde boy. They went outside.
Anna watched them leave the house from her window, she then watched as Yoh proceeded to do his excercises. Anna decided to then sit down. Yoh's training would take a lot out of him today, and that would all come out of her.
Yoh finished his run. He panted on the sidewalk, leaning against the wall of the house at which they were residing. This was the last of the training he had to do today. It was almost lunch. He wondered what Tamora would be getting for lunch.
The thought of food made him less tired.
Or so he thought.
A man watched his twin pant on the sidewalk near a Dobe Village house. He smiled at the thought of his brother's fiancee telling him his next training. Suddenly dwelling on the thought of her, he looked up into her window. The TV was on. This meant that Anna was on her bed, watching her soaps. He had come to know her passtimes and movements very well throughout his observations of her. She intrigued him. He wondered how his brother could so easily succumb to her every word and command.
Back down on the sidewalk, his brother cought his eye. Yoh had straightened. This had never happened before. Yoh was always too tired to straighten after his run. Where did he get all this new energy? Looking back up to Anna's room, so he could watch her, he discovered that she wasn't in her usual spot either. A sudden feeling overcame him, and he searched about her room for any sign of her.
He froze when he saw the lone hand sticking out from behind the bed. She had...fainted?
Zeke narrowed his eyes. There was something going on here.
TBC!
YAY! I may actually get another one in today! I'm on a roll!
THANK YOU FOR READING THIS IF YOU ARE READING THIS!
Any comments and reviews would be very much appreciated. I do believe I will finish this fic!
And any opinions on any of my other fics would be appreciated too! Especially of whether I shoud continue mothers. If I did, I would probably do the next thing on when Yoh finds out he'll be a daddy. I think I'd make it a sequel, but if I should make it a chapter story, tell me.
