An Evening Under The Stars

Ms. Mizuki's Science Classroom…

"So, as you have been lectured in every class, the exams are majorly important to your future. This is your top priorities. It is time for those who slack off," she glanced over to Horo Horo who was busy rummaging through a comic book and was too busy to notice. Ren gave him a nudge. Horo Horo looked up. He blushed and laughed nervously and started trying to make an excuse. Ren gave him another nudge. Horo Horo mumbled 'sorry' and tried to explain. Ren gave him a third nudge. This was his cue to shut up.

"Those who slack off to start studying. Hard. Seeing as for you lot, I am your home teacher. (Yes, they do have many teachers, but each student/ group is assigned a homeroom teacher who will take care of other stuff such as forms, group events, etc.) This is necessary. I do hope that many of you attend Tokyo University. (If you have not yet read my changes, then I'll tell you that I changed the fact that they were in university to where they're in Senior High)."

Many students murmured. Some looked quite calm about it. Horo Horo simply shrugged. Ren suddenly found the top of his desk extremely fascinating. Manta was focused and busy taking notes. Hao just sat back, relaxed. Pirika and Tamao were both glancing at eachother nervously. Lyserg and Jeanne were looking at the teacher. And Anna neither said nor showed any sign of reaction.

"Some of you, I'm sorry to say, I do not believe will do well. There are few of you, which I expect to do well." She raised her eyebrows and glanced over at Anna and Manta. Manta blushed furiously and turned away. Anna did nothing. "Class, I'm proud to tell you, that Kyouyama Anna has been given an opportunity to test for Stanford University at America." Ms. Mizuki looked extremely pleased. She was beaming.

Anna was shocked. She did not believe her ears. Yet she remained silent. She knew the whole class was staring at her right now.

"As for Oyamada Manta, he's been given the opportunity to go to Berkley University. Let's all learn from Ms. Kyouyama and Mr. Oyamada. Let's all give a round of applause!"

There were loud applauses from Hao, Horo Horo, Pirika, Tamao, Ren, Lyserg, and Jeanne. Here were very few applause from the others however.

"Miss Kyouyama and Mr. Oyamada will be taking their university's entry exam after their school exams. They will be leaving a two weeks before the end of school, right after the exams. Let's give them our best wishes of luck."

The class murmured for a few moments.

Anna just remained silent.

Manta was blushing furiously and fighting back the intention of jumping up from his desk right now and running about the school to jump for joy.

DING! DING! DING!

"Mr. Oyamada? Ms. Kyouyama? Would you mind coming up to the front before you leave? Thank you."

"Anna?" Tamao asked grinning.

"Um…you guys go on ahead. I'll catch up to you in PE later."

"Ok."

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Pass! Boro Boro! Hurry!" Ren yelled at Horo Horo who was nervously trying to find out what to do. The score was 28-30. And they were behind. There were two large boys surrounding him. He had to pass, or it''d be a foul. There was only 30 seconds left in the game.

He dodged between the two boys and made a pass to Ren.

Ren turned and passed it to Hao.

Hao then made a 3-pointer. The buzzer sounded. They won.

Horo Horo wiped his forehead. Then he headed over to the fountain.

He tripped over someone. "Tammy! Oh…hehe…sorry…" He said as he got up.

"Oh Horo-kun! I'm sorry…I didn't see you…" She was blushing.

"Nah…it's fine…so…where were you? We won!"

Tamao nodded. "I saw! I'm so proud!" She hugged him.

Horo Horo blushed. "Uh..um…so…the prom?"

Tamao silenced.

"Y-You going?"

"Yeah! I already know who I'm going with."

Horo Horo's face fell. "Oh…who?"

Tamao blushed. "You! Baka!" She giggled.

"Oh…whew…hehe…"

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"How was I selected into Stanford?" Anna kept on questioning. Not that she wasn't pleased…but….she looked over to Yoh who was sound asleep on a sofa, in the study hall.

Yoh woke up. He just had a dream of Anna leaving him…to go…far away…Then he sensed someone watching him. He turned to Anna. "Anna? Is something worng? Are you sick? Do you need anything?"

"No." She turned away. "I can't tell him! He'll…be heart-broken…four years or more…away…from Yoh…"

Yoh blinked then grinned. "Aw…come on Anna…please?" He asked sweetly.

Anna stared. "No."

Yoh sighed, turned away, then stopped.

"Yoh? Something worng?" Anna asked souding unconcerned.

Yoh didn't reply. Instead, his hand was on a nearby table, supporting his balance. His other had clutching his neck. He was sweating.

"Yoh?" This time, Anna was worried. She got up and walked over to Yoh.

Then he collapsed.

"Yoh!" Anna screamed.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Anna!" Yoh cried as he sat up in bed.

But it wasn't Anna who sat there. It was the school nurse, Eliza.

"Shh…it's fine. Anna brought you. She had to go to class." Eliza said in a reassuring manner.

"What….happened?" He asked confusedly.

"Shh…right now…just rest…your doctor said that you needed rest, remember? Your doctor contacted me after the accident to watch out for you."

Yoh nodded. He closed his eyes…and fell asleep.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo

"Shh! Don't tell Anna! It's supposed to be a surprise!" Pirika hushed her brother who was busy doing the chicken dance.

"Tell me what?" Anna appeared at their dorm door.

"Anna!" Pirika gasped. She made a stash for the not yet inflated balloons. "Uh…nothing! Where's Yoh? Is he better yet?"

Anna raised an eyebrow, "Yes. He just returned."

"Alright! Well…we were just doing some redecoration!" Pirika laughed nervously.

Anna was not satisfied, but she left anyhow.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Oni-Chan!" Pirika warned. "I TOLD you to shush up!"

"What! Why!"

"We can't let Yoh or Anna know!"

"But it's time to P-A-R-T-Y! PARTAE!" Horo Horo yelled turning up the music. (But within school limits since school allows a certain volume)

"Party? Did someone say party? Yoh came in chuckling.

"AAAHHH!" Horo Horo screamed. "Yoh! Where did you- When did you-?" He stuttered.

"Hehehe…just now! So…we're having a party? What for?" He continued grinning.

"What do you think, Yoh?" The Chinese shaman asked.

"Uh…"

"For Anna of course! For her doing so well and getting accepted into Stanford! We're going to have one for Manta tomorrow." Pirika yelled excitedly.

"Anna …got…accepted into ….Stanford?" Yoh asked uncertainly.

"Yeah! So right dude! And she's leaving two weeks before school ends to-" Horo Horo began, but was silenced by Ren's glare.

"Oh! Y-You d-didn't…know?" Pirika asked, Suddenly, the room went quiet. (Horo Horo turned down the music when Yoh entered.)

"What? No, but…that's great! Stanford…in the U.S. right?" Yoh asked.

"Yes…"Pirika answered softly.

"Oh…hehe…well…when Anna comes….give her my congrats…I'm gonna head back to my dorm…" Then he turned to leave.

"Yoh…wait…" Hao called racing after him.

"I uh…have stuff to do…" Yoh quickened his pace.

Hao smirked. "I know its bothering you, Ototo…you don't have anything to do. Let alone stuff."

"Please, Oni-chan…I…I need time…" Then he closed the dorm door and locked it.

Hao sighed. Then he left.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Anna's been …accepted…into…Standford," Yoh thought, "She's going to leave for at least four years. Who knows if more?"

"You love Anna…." A voice said in his head.

"Yeah…and that's why I've gotta let her go…I know….she deserves this…she shouldn't stay because of me…"

"But then why are you feeling so gloomy?" the voice said again.

Yoh frowned. "I'll….miss her…"

"Then keep her…"

"I can't…I shouldn't be selfish…I should do what she wants…and I know that is going…"

"But what if she wants to stay?"

"It wouldn't be real…she only would stay…for me…I'll make sure she does what she wants.." Yoh smiled.

"Really?"

"Yeah…now shut up." Yoh frowned. The conversation ended.

There was a knock at his door.

"Yoh-Sama?" Tamao was at the door.

Yoh smiled. "Hai? Tamao? Didn't I tell you not to add –sama to my name at all?"

"Yes, but-"

"So don't." He grinned

"Hai. Yoh-s- Yoh?"

"Hmm?"

"The party f-for Anna…is starting…We were wondering, if you can be there…for Anna…." She finished.

Yoh sighed. "For Anna…" those words lingered in his mind. "Hai. I'll be ready in a few minutes…"

"O-Ok…"

"And Tamao?"

"Y-Yes?"

"Thanks."

Tamao blushed.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Bug off." Anna glared coldly at another boy who attempted to ask her to the Prom. Poor guy, you have to give him credit for even mustering up the courage to try and ask…

It was a harsh day. She couldn't wait to return to her dorm and crash.

She unlocked the door. She turned the knob and…

"SURPRISE!" The whole gang yelled at the unamazed Anna.

"Don't bother…I knew." She said as she set down her bag.

Everyone's face fell.

"What?" Anna looked at them. "I said I knew, but I didn't say to not party."

Everyone's face lit up.

"Besides, we could use one, there's been too much work going on lately."

"Whoo Hoo!" Horo Horo yelled. "That's the SPIRIT Anna!" Then he made a HUGE and when I mean HUGE, I mean HUGE mistake.

Giving the Ice Queen an ol' slap on the back.

Anna raised her eyebrows and turned to Horo Horo.

THWAAK!

"When I said to party, I didn't mean party animals."

"Oh Oni-Chan…" Pirika covered her face with her hands.

Just then, the door opened, and Yoh walked in. "Oh…guess everyone's here! Hehe! Sorry I'm last! Anna…I want to congratulate you…"

"Yoh…" Anna whispered.

"You deserve it. Well done…" Yoh grinned sheepishly.

"Well…shouldn't we get started?" Lyserg questioned as he sensed the tention.

"Yeah!" Horo Horo yelled.

"Yes. Yes, I suppose so." Ren said. "Pirika? Would you mind coming with me?"

Pirika blushed and followed.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Yoh sat on the balcony. The wind breezed through his hair. It was very peaceful…The stars were bright…

"Yoh?" Anna opened the balcony slide window and steepped out. "Yoh, I-"

"Look, Anna. I'm happy for you! As long as you're happy, I'm happy. Congratulations." He grinned weakly. Not his usual 100 happy and carefree grin.

Then Anna burst out sobbing.

"Anna…" Yoh's eyes grew soft. He pulled Anna to sit down.

"B-Baka! Don't you understand!" She choked through sobs. "I-I love you! I d-don't think I can leave you for such a l-long time!"

Yoh smiled weakly. "But this is your future Anna, I know you want to go…so I…want you to go.

"Yoh…" Anna said through teary eyes.

"I don't want you to give up your future because of me…Anna…besides, it's not like we won't see eachother again!" Yoh grinned sheepishly.

Anna smiled a little. "Thank you…Yoh."

Yoh looked up. "The stars beautiful tonight…as are you…"

Anna blushed, though it was too dark to see.

"Please, Anna, go. I know you've always wanted to. Take the entry exam, pass it, and go to Stanford. And after four or more years, when you come back, I'll be waiting."

Anna looked at Yoh.

"I'll wait no matter what. It'll all work out somehow." He grinned stupidly.

Anna snuggled closer to Yoh. "I will."

"Good."

"Yoh?"

"hmm…ya?"

"Thanks."

Yoh just smiled.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

?Friend: Ok…fine…I've decided I'll give you a second chance out of the pureness of my heart-

Authoress: (holds back snickers) Pureness of your heart…right…

?Friend?: (scoffs) Well, your story sucks ANYWAYS!

Authoress: You didn't even listen to it!

?Friend?: (stomps away with nose in air.)

Authoress: (Sighs) Finally…

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Kawaii? Hmm…I wonder if Anna will leave? Well…I'M NOT TELLING! SO HA! Sorry…I know getting selected for Stanford is very unlikely…but OH WELL! Nothing has to be realistic.

Please R R and R!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

TO CERTAIN REVIEWERS WHO HAD QUESTIONS OR REQUESTS:

kawaiichibie: Yes, Tamao is from somewhere. She's from Manga and Anime. She is an apprentice under Yoh's grandfather, Yohmei. Her spirits are Ponchi and Konchi (fox and raccoon spirits). She's a pink haired girl who used to have a crush on Yoh, but of course can't with Anna around…hehe…I'm pretty sure you know her…just can't remember. She's the shy one. If you read or watched the English Anime/Manga, it's be Tamara, Tamao is the Japanese version of Tamara. Ryu/ Rio is not in senior high anymore. He's much older than Yoh, remember? He just –er- wouldn't fit in with the gang at school. And yes, I AM TOO, OBSSESED WITH SHAMAN KING! Just finished playing Power of Spirits PS2, what other Shaman King games are there? I know some other ones…'

dark-midnight-sky: Yeah…heh…fans are very annoying…but Yoh wouldn't kill the fans…he's just not the type. Anna will slap them and punch them at most to keep them away from her Yoh, and Ren might get extremely angry, but that's that. I think I will add Anna getting annoyed of them thoe…hehe! Yoh won't kill. Hao won't either. YOU CANNOT ALTER THE FACT THAT YOH IS LAZY AND STUPID AND CAREFREE! I LIKE YOH THE WAY HE IS! Coz he is JUST like me! Lazy…sleepy…ok…maybe not that nice…but…xx HEHEH!

Pendulumxswing: I'll try to add RenxPirika fluff…but of course, this mostly is YohxAnna. (Squeals and goes on chant that goes like "YohxAnna 4ever, YohxAnna 4ever) Hehe….sorry…but yeah! I should…and there's also barely any LysergxJeanne…

Ana-chan: Anna's not evil, just gets annoyed easily! ' Like me… and about the half blood prince…Well, at least we know he's a male…hmm…maybe… (lil.blu.clover thinks it might be Hagrid…) but he's half giant…hmm…well, we know it's not Ron, Hermione, the Malfoys, the Blacks, or any of the Weaslys…XX Too many guesses…JUST CAN'T WAIT TILL BOOK GOES ON SALE!

THANKS FOR REVIEWING EVERYONE, and those who didn't review but still read, THANKS! Anyways…those who DON'T read won't read the Thanks anyhow…

Any questions or requests are welcome!
