YAY! THANK YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH TO EVERYONE WHO REVIEWED!
And... I made an oopsie! I forgot to up the rating because of Hao's antics last chapter, so the rating's up now... I think.
I have initially decided to make Mothers a chapter fic, but I'm gonna finish this fic first. I dunno how many more chapters this'll have, though.
Disclaimer: I don't own shaman king
And onto the story!
Anna awoke drearily in Hao's "dungeon" where he had decided to chain her. She had slept sitting up, and that hadn't gone over too well with her.
Speaking of the devil,
Hao walked into the room.
"Ah, Anna. My princess has awakened. So dear, would you like to get out of those chains, hmm?"
Match
Anna couldn't muster the strength enough to give an answer. Truth be told, she really did want to be unchained, but she wasn't sure what Hao might've done to her to let her have her freedom.
"Ohhh, my beautiful girl is a widdle sweepy?" Hao said, imitating a baby voice.
If Anna had not hated him enough before, she sure as heck did now.
She sneered at him.
"Ooo! Fiesty!" Hao said, walking toward her. "That's imparticularly what I like about you, Anna. You're fiesty," He cupped her chin in his hand, bringing her gaze up to meet his, "Girls aren't nearly as fiesty today as they used to be," he said absently,
"It's a shame,...but perhaps that's what drew me to you Anna. You're the only one who seems to have the energy I love so much. You're the only girl I've ever met who can actually get a male to obey her by force, most men today are too cooperative with their lovers. They've gone soft. It used to be men who were the ones in control, but now men and their women work together in a community,"
"Women don't belong to men," Anna had the strength to say.
Hao turned away, "Yes, today. Equality is what has given you the energy to speak up. These humans and their equality... they lack a true leader. That is what I hope to bring to this planet when I become the king. I myself, and a group of select few humans will restore the glory of this earth to it's original state, and then spawn offspring that will keep these ideals alive,"
He turned back to her, "That's why I have brought you here Anna. I plan to let you survive the armageddon that will envelope the earth after the shaman tournament, and then you will be my queen. And we shall spawn the most beautiful offspring this world has ever seen. And there will have to be many of them if we again plan to start the population of the universe,"
He walked toward her, and Anna growled in response. Hao stopped. "You know, Anna... I really can't figure you out. How can someone so fragile," He ran a hand up her arm, "Be able to boss my brother around, and put him into his submissive state. You certainly are something, my dear Anna. And soon you will be my something,"
"No," she said.
"Oh, dear. There's no point in arguing, especially not when you don't have a choice," he started, cupping her chin again and moving his face just centimeters from hers, "And especially not against me,"
He was about to kiss her.
A bell rang.
Hao looked down at his arm. 'Dangit,'
"...Ah, well. Saved by the bell, dear Anna. But perhaps this is best. Taking it slow always was the wise way... but nevr my way," he looked down at his arm again, and a mischievious smile crossed his face, growing by the second. "But you will come to support your new fiancee at the match, won't you? Especially when his match is against your ex-fiancee's best friends,"
Anna's head snapped up.
"Ah, yes Anna. My next match is this evening against... Team Len," He walked toward the door, "Sorry I have to leave you hanging like this, but I have a team to devise a strategy for. But I'll be back later after the match and perhaps we could... have a little celebration, hmm?"
He smiled at her then left.
"Team Star?" Yoh said disbelievingly.
"Yes, it's this evening," Len said. Pilica looked worriedly at him.
"But, what if- what if you don't come back?" she said.
"Do you really have that little faith in us that you doubt we'll come back?"
"No! I just-"
"Stop it, Len. She's just worried," Trey intervened.
"Yes, well, I think it's a perfect opportunity!" Len said.
"Len! You must be nuts!" Choco said.
"Actually, no. This is a perfect opportunity to shove Hao out of the tournament, and to let Yoh try to find his fiancee while Hao is occupied,"
"Y'know, he's right," Trey said. "It would give Yoh time to try and find Anna,"
"But Big Brother-!"
"I don't like it," Yoh said. "I don't think you guys should set yourselves up just so I can find her,"
"C'mon Yoh! We all know you want to find her! And we want to see her safe too! Sure she's bossed us around, but it was for our own safety! And goodness knows what Hao's done to her," Trey said. This was followed by a moment of silence from everyone, who was contemplating the many things Anna may have gone through.
"So," Len said. "Team Len, let's go devise strategy. And you-" he pointed to Yoh, "Try to find a plan to find your fiancee,"
They left.
"That's easier said than done," Yoh mumbled after they had gone from sight.
Morty piped up, "Actually Yoh, I have an idea..."
HAHAHAHA! Another chapter. Again, thanx for the reviews. And sorry it took sooo long to update (although it hasn't really been that long)
See you all next time!
