Note: 3 years has passed now and Anna has moved away a month or 2... Or 3 after the little incident with Hao and Mari. Everyone is now 16... Everyone was almost childhood friends. Horo, Pirika, Ren, Tamao, etc. Except Chocolove since I don't really like him that much and I suck at jokes... Wither they are corny or not. Lol. Anyway, after the little incident, everyone kinda split up... But not because of what happened. They just did because... well they had to. Family calls right? Anyway, Ren went back to China, Anna went back to Izumo... Horo and Pirika went back to the north... Well you know the rest. Yoh and Hao of course stayed in Tokyo since they live there.
Chapter 2- Recollection
Yoh yarned and slowly walked out the door. School... He always hated it. It was not because no one likes him. Everyone loves him and his brother so popularity wasn't the problem. Sleep was his problem. School took away too much of his nap time. It took Yoh about 2 hours to wake up and when he finally did wake up, Hao was no where to be found. Yoh sighed as he approached the school doors. Oh school... How he loved it so... Just as Yoh was about to enter the school, he turned to see a girl who looked quiet familiar though he couldn't quiet point out who she was. Before he could call out to her, she walked off.
Hao walked around school, bored. He was again, cutting class. He wasn't sure why his parents even bother to pay for him to go to school. He found it useless, not to mention boring and a waste of his time. He shook his head and continued walking around, careful not to get caught. He walked outside to bump into his twin.
"Aniki! There you are!" Yoh said cheerfully, with his usual goofy grin.
"Yoh..." Hao muttered. "Where have you been? It's 3rd period already." Yoh laughed nervously while rubbing the back of his head.
"Well, you see... What happened was..." He started. "Ummm, what happened was..."
"You overslept again huh?" Hao asked, lifting an eyebrow. Yoh smiled.
"Yup." He replied... Rather proudly. Hao rolled his eyes. "What about you Aniki? Been skipping class am I right? Since I bumped into you." Hao smirked.
"You know me too well." He said nodded his head. Yoh frowned.
"You should attend to class more Aniki." He told Hao who looked at him with a strange look.
"So I could cover for you when the teacher catches you sleeping? No way." Hao said laughing. Yoh sighed and shook his head.
"Hey you! Asakuras! Get to class now! Both of you!" A teacher yelled. Hao glared at Yoh.
"Thanks a lot Otouto." He mumbled. Yoh grinned.
"Anytime." He said as he and Hao started walking to class.
"And therefore, A equals to B plus C squared." The teacher stopped in the middle of her lesson when Yoh and Hao walked in. "Well, nice to see you awake Yoh and it's nice to see that you dragged Hao along with you." She said with a smile. Yoh smiled back.
"Ah. Sorry, overslept again." He said with a small laugh. All the girl's eyes in the class were replaced with hearts.
"Now please take your seats." The teacher instructed and continued on her lesson. Yoh nodded and walked to his seat while Hao turned and waked back to the door. There was no way he was going to stay and listen to boring lectures.
"I'm outta here." He mumbled as he opened the door but bumped into someone. He blinked and looked at the person her bumped into. Why did he look so familiar? He paused for a second before remembering. "Nichrome! Sup? Long time no see!" The boy who Hao bumped into smiled.
"Hao... Nice to see you too." He replied.
"Excuse me but may I help you?" The teacher walked over to them.
"Oh, I am a new transfer student." Nichrome handed her a slip of paper. The teacher read it and nodded.
"I see... Nickrom is it?" She looked at Nichrome who shook his head.
"It's Nichrome." He corrected her.
"Sorry." The teacher smiled.
"Ah! Nichrome!" Yoh woke up from his nap and smiled. Nichrome smiled back.
"I see your brother has not gotten over the habit of sleeping in class eh?" He whispered to Hao who chuckled.
"He is Yoh after all." Hao whispered back. And so, Nichrome ended up being in Yoh and Hao's class and Hao ended up going to class to chat with Nichrome and catch up on their childhood.
"ONII-CHAN! HURRY UP!" Pirika yelled as she ran off. Horo sighed as he walked into the school. He didn't' care if he was back in Tokyo or not. He never had a chance to eat! Pirika had ran off into the school, afraid to be late for her first day in schools he was on his own. He sighed and shook his head, not knowing that he was walking into a wall.
"Ow!" He yelled, rubbing his nose. "My nose is flat now!" He heard a chuckle and then a familiar voice.
"Start lying. Like Pinocchio, I'm sure your nose will grow." Horo turned to see a Chinese boy around his age standing there with his arms folded. He looked quiet familiar but Horo couldn't point out where or when he had seen him before. The Chinese boy, as if reading his mind answered his question.
"It's me Baka. Tao Ren." He muttered, annoyed.
"Tao Ren..." Horo mumbled. Pretty soon, Ren lost his patience with Horo.
"Maybe this will help you remember!" Ren yelled, pointing his Qwan Dou at him.
"Hey, hey! I remember calm down Ren!" Horo yelled, waving his hands in the air. "I was just messing with you!" Ren glared daggers at Horo who backed away... If he could. Ren smirked.
"No where to run." He muttered. Horo gulped and got ready to meet his death but a sudden yell saved him.
"REN-KUN!" Pirika ran over to them and jumped on Ren, wrapping her arms around him tightly. Ren turned red.
"Get off me!" He yelled trying to struggle away from Pirika.
"Oh my god! I miss you sooooooo much Ren!" Pirika yelled, tightening her hug.
"P-Pirkia!" Ren mumbled.
"You can not believe how sad I was!" Pirika continued on.
"Neh... Pirika." Horo said sweat dropping.
"Don't bother me Onii-Chan." Pirika cut him off.
"But don't you think you should let him go?" Horo asked his little sister. "I mean, he is nearly dead." Pirika blinked and looked at Ren who can barely breathe.
"OH MY GOD! REN-KUN! Are you ok!" She quickly released Ren who gasped for air.
"Hey Ren, when'd you get back anyway?" Horo asked Ren who muttered something in Chinese.
"None of your business." Ren muttered angrily and got up. "Why are you here anyway?"
"None of your business." Horo shot back.
"We moved back here!" Pirika blurted out happily.
"PIRIKA!" Horo yelled at his sister for not shutting her mouth. Ren smirked.
"Well I see that you are not the only ones who did." He muttered, looked at something in front of them. Pirika and Horo looked up to see a shy girl with pink hair look around nervously. Horo blinked.
"Is that..." As usual, Pirika cut him off.
"TAMAO!" She yelled running to her old friend.
"P-Pirika!" Tamao gasped as she turned to see Pirika running towards her.
"Long time no see!" Pirika yelled, giving her pink haired friend a hug.
"Yes, long time." Tamao smiled and looked up with a small gasp. "Ren-Kun! H-HoroHoro-Kun!"
"Hey Tam." Horo grinned as he and Ren walked over to them.
"W-What are you guys doing here?" Tamao asked, blush rising to her cheeks. She was always a shy one; especially while around Horo.
"We moved back." Pirika announce yet again.
"Ren-Kun too?" Tamao looked at Ren who just nodded. "I see."
"You moved back to right?" Pirika asked, grabbing her friend's arm. Tamao nodded.
"I miss this place too much." She said with a small giggle.
"Me too. I wonder if Yoh and Hao are still living here." Pirika tapped her chin.
"Of course we are!" They turned to see Yoh grinning wildly.
"YOH-KUN!" Pirika yelled, jumping on Yoh who tumbled back with a yell.
"Yoh!" Horo yelled. "You ok Dude?" Ren shook his head.
"Baka..." He muttered.
"Y-Yoh-Kun." Tamao gasped.
"H-Hey Pirika. Miss you too?" Yoh asked as he pushed Pirika off him.
"Where's Hao?" Horo asked as he helped Yoh up.
"Hanging out with Nichrome I think." Yoh said with a shrug.
"Nich-Kun is here too!" Pirika yelled. "Yay! Everyone is back together again!"
"All except..." Horo paused and Yoh frowned.
"Anna..." He muttered.
2 days later...
"Class, settle down please." The teacher walked in with a sigh. "I have an announcement to make." Everyone looked up and Hao smacked Yoh on the head to wake him up.
"Wa?" Yoh muttered rubbing his eyes.
"Everyone, we have another new student." The teacher announced.
"Another new student?" Pirika blinked. "How many new students is there going to be?"
"Ahem." The teacher cleared his throat. "Anyway, you have a new student in your class."
"Is he or she, an exchange student like Ren?" Pirika yelled out.
"No, Pirika. She is a transfer student." The teacher muttered with a sigh. "Now may you let me finish?" Pirika smiled and let him continue.
"As I was saying..." The teacher said looking up. "You have a new student in your class, all the way form Ozorezan."
"Ozorezan?" Everyone blinked.
"Come on in." The teacher turned to the door which opened slowly. A girl with shoulder length blond hair walked calmly, her face showing no emotion. "This is Kyoyama Anna." Yoh's mouth hung while Hao's eyes widened slightly. Anna turned to look at the class, face was still emotionless. As if not remembering them at all.
"Anna..." Yoh muttered.
"Yay! Anna's back!" Pirika yelled.
"Usui Pirika! Take you seat now!" The teacher yelled.
"Hai..." Pirika muttered with a frown and returned back to her seat. Yoh smiled.
"Pirika, you should learn to hold your excitement." Yoh said with his usual lazy laugh. "Nice to see you again Anna." Yoh smiled as he turned back to Anna. Anna's eyes twitched from the front of the room. Why was he being an idiot and so cheerful for?
The bell finally rang and everyone got ready for lunch.
"Hey Anna!" Pirika yelled as she rushed over to Anna who calmly stood.
"Hello." Anna muttered oh so calmly and bitterly.
"What's up?" Pirika tried to liven up the conversation but it didn't seem to work.
"When did you get back Anna?" Tamao asked with a small smile.
"A while ago." Anna simply answered and walked off.
"W-Wait Anna!" Pirika and Tamao rushed off after her.
"Hmmm... Anna isn't like the Anna we knew before... Neh Aniki." Yoh looked at his twin who just shrugged. Yoh had let his twin go after the incident but it didn't mean he was still not angry with him. "I wonder what happened..." Hao didn't say anything. Instead, he just turned and left.
Hmmm what was that you ask? Yah... Sucky chapter and so predictable... Oh wellz... I kinda had trouble since there was way too much fanfics to update lol. I went in way over my head! The title was hard to think up as well... I was never the best at titles and I was listening to Pita Ten songs and ended up with the title Recollection since the whole gang reunites in this chapter. Next chapter will be a week or so before winter break.
crazy4padfoot: Yah I know... -sniff- I made my Hao sound so mean!
Vash: Yup. You will never have Anna smiling so much ever. Ironic neh?
half vamp: I got this story idea from watching a Chinese film. This girl was always smiling so I thought "why not make a story with Anna always smiling?" It's rare to read a fanfic like that... Let alone, Anna smiling all the time/at all.
Dark Light: I was so sad when I had to make him sound like a jerk... But I had to make him do something mean to cause Anna is never smile again.
ana-chan: Haha, me too. That's why I made this fanfic because no one ever made Anna smile so much ever! Muhahaha, I am the first to make Anna smile so much! -think good thoughts not dirty please- lol
wayupi: Hey, hey come on! Spare me! I was crying when I was writing this cause I made Hao sound like a jerk ok! I'm a Hao fan too! if you kill me, you will never know the ending and Hao-Sama will lose another follower and come after you for killing me!
Nadia D: Thanks for the idea about Anna moving. Revenge... well maybe lol. I'll have to think about that part to see if it will tie into the ending that I planned.
