Chapter 3: Mogakeba mogakuhodo

It was night time at the Asakura residence. Yoh and Matamune went home after the incident with the Oni, refer to chapter 2.

Yoh was currently sipping his hot tea.

Yoh: It feels so nice to be back home with some tea...

Yoh puts the tea on the table carefully.

Yoh: I really thought that I will die there with the Oni. Thanks for saving me back there Matamune.

He smiled his triumphant smile to Matamune.

Matamune: Well, it was my job to protect you from any harm. Onis here in the Osorezan mountains are really unusual.

Yoh: What...

The slide door opened and stepped in Kino. She went in then closed the door behind her. She sat on a mat for sitting.

Kino: Good evening you two. You're safe, good.

Yoh: Hi grandma. You really look tired. You want me to get you some tea?

Kino: Ah... It's fine with me... I heard something happened to you a while ago.

Yoh: True. Good thing Matamune was there to save me.

Kino: Also, did you meet your fiancee?

Yoh: No, I don't think so yet.

Kino: I think she is coming this way.

A door was opened then closed afterwards after a few seconds. The footseps bacame nearer and nearer.

The door where Matamune, Yoh and Kino opened.

"I did the groceries already."

She threw the plastic bag filled with food on the table.

She went out of the room and went somewhere else.

Yoh: WHAT! WHY IS SHE HERE?

Matamune: She is your fiancee, Yoh-sama.

Yoh: NO! SHE IS NOT! DARN IT!

Kino: She's your fiancee Yoh. I found her while I was walking out.

Yoh: Still, she wants me to die even though I didn't do anything to her.

Kino: Stupid. She is your fiancee from now on. One more thing, she is an Itako who could see and hear. Remember that.

Yoh turned off the faucet in his bath. He went into the hot water, he stopped for a few seconds because of the heat. Eventually his whole body was in the bath. Matamune was also there.

Yoh: Hmm... I really don't know... She can see and hear... Whats with... Anna...

Matamune: Yoh-sama is so innocent now isn't he?...

Matamune drowned Yoh into the water resulting Yoh to freak out for a second there.

Yoh: Hey! Matamune! Purbursaprburps...

Yoh is currently putting his head up from the hot water.

Matamune: Yoh-sama, don't you feel special? I mean, you have a fiancee and all...

Yoh: But... She wants me to die... So that is why I really don't like her... And one thing... Am I really that attractive?

Matamune laughs for a little while.

Matamune: What are you worrying about? Of course, I suppose that you are not that stupid right, Yoh-sama.

There was a moment of silence for a little while. Yoh insisted on asking something he wanted to ask before.

Yoh: Na... Matamune... Why was the Oni trying to kill me?... Do I have something to do with it?...

The question caught all of Matamune's question.

Matamune: ...An Oni... Are made from the bitter feelings of an Itako. The Oni can get stronger by each worse feeling the Itako may get.

Yoh: Oh... So the Oni I saw a while ago...

Matamune: Yes, I suppose its from Anna. And there is one thing I need to tell you. Humans and Shamans are also different in some ways. So, an Oni can't be made from any ordinary human. And can only be defeated if the Itako's hard feeling will be removed.

Yoh: Hard feelings... huh... Also, me and Anna will be together for some time... So those "hard feelings", maybe, just maybe, I can remove them...

Matamune: That may be possible. The problem is that "How do you talk to her?" Maybe, the result may turn the other way around from expected...

Yoh looked at Matamune. At moment like this, Matamune's mind was drifting off to space. He just continued to listen.

Matamune: Anna's feelings may get heavier. She can also be the type of girl that she gets angry if you insist on talking to her. This could result to... The Oni can take over her mind and soul, insisting her to kill you for no particulate reason...

Yoh: Matamune...

After that conversation the both of them wore their yukatas then went to sleep. Unfortunately, for Yoh. He drank too much tea, so he need to go to the restroom. Yoh was in the restroom currently ahem, after he did it, he went ot of the bathroom.

Yoh wraps his arms around him.

Yoh: Its so cold...

The clock ticked every second at night. While he was walking back, he was thinking of things.

Yoh: Matamune still didn't answer my question why the Oni was attacking, also why Anna made it. Maybe, she really does want me to die...

The last second ticked and the time of 12:00 sounded. Dond, dong

There, from the depths of darkness, was the same Oni from before. It was able to survive from Matamune's attack before. This time, the Oni was slight bigger and looked stronger from before...

"Must kill... Repeating cat... and... Asakura... Yoh..."

The Oni was gone once again into the darkness.

Yoh was not able to sleep that night. The house was so quiet it started to make Yoh deaf. He went out into this restaurant which was open for the whole night. It was playing this song with a girl singing. Yoh was currently drinking orange juice (my fave drink in Japan! it ROX XD!). He was just looking around...

Yoh: Ha... Soon, I'll go home at Izumo with Mom and Dad. I still don't know what to give them... How about a keyholder?... But dad can be picky sometimes. Also, if I won't buy a gift... They'll bug me why I didn't find time to buy them a gift.

While Yoh was talking to himself about family problems, in his mind, he was thinking of other stuff...

(Warning, my info might be wrong coz I don't have the manga but the CD instead.

Someone stepped into the door. It was Anna...

Yoh moaned in his mind, he was thinking of "thoughts". "Its nice having a fiancee and all. After all, when the both of us reach the right age, its time to do "it".

(If you guys don't believe me that Yoh actually moaned, your problem. I have the track containing this unbelievable phenomena. Anyways moving on to the fic..)

Anna: What are you thinking?

Yoh: Ah! Nothing! Really!

Anna: You're thinking that me becoming your fiancee will earn you something else? Hentai. (meaning green-minded person, like boris, kidding!)

Yoh kept a fair distance from Anna.

Yoh: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!

Yoh: stopped for the moment to think. He turned around and looked back at Anna.

Anna started to step out through the door.

Yoh: H-hey! WAIT!

Anna stopped walking.

Yoh: Really, I didn't do anything...

Anna: Oh, really now? Why were you thinking of those "stuff"?

Yoh: Eh?

Anna stepped around and had eye contact with Yoh.

Anna: I see now... I'm just your fiancee huh? Unfortunately, I have other business to handle. I can't let you block my way.

Yoh: Why are you... No... Its not your fault anyways... I was right...

Yoh started to walk nearer to Anna.

Yoh: Sometimes, you don't have to act so brave. I can be able to help you.

Yoh stopped walking and was in front of Anna.

Yoh: Can you answer me? What do you mean by me blocking your way? Do you have a problem or something?

Anna got angry by this, she didn't want anyone yelling at her or ordering her around. But this certain Asakura Yoh was brave enough to yell at this Kyouyama Anna.

Yoh: You... do not need to get angry sometimes...

Anna gave Yoh a hard slap on the face.

Anna: I told you to know who you're dealing with.

Yoh puts his left arm on his cheek. It was red. It hurts.

Yoh: That hurts! What the heck is your problem anyway? I didn't do anything to you!

Anna: I was always alone until now. That is why I have to depend on myself.

Yoh: What...

Anna: I have other things to do. You go play along with your other friends now.

Anna slowly walked out.

Anna: I also think that its better if you run away now.

"Good-bye..."

"It was also nice meeting you..."

Yoh: Anna.

Yoh snapped out of being stunned and he followed Anna.

Yoh: HEY! WAIT! I really don't know anything... Nothing... I might be able to help you in other ways...

The harsh cold wind blew...

Anna: I am...

Dark figures stepped out of the darkness and walked to Yoh.

Yoh: No... Not now... I thought it was dead... Its... Oni!

The Oni looked down on Yoh. Every second was fear. Yoh was scared. Matamune wasn't there... He was alone... So this was how Anna felt.

The Oni started to chase Yoh and slice him with his knife.

Yoh started to run fast, as if his life depended on it.

Yoh: ANYONE! HELP ME!

Anna: I am not doing this anymore. I forgive you. I just can't control myself...

Yoh looked back at Anna. Why was she like this? She can't control the Oni? This is not good...

The Oni delivered a strong attack which caused Yoh to roll over the floor. Yoh stood up, blood covered his arms. Little cuts and bruises filled his face.

Yoh: Darn it... How come the Oni did that? Didn't Anna said that she forgives me? No... The Oni has taken up her mind!

Yoh looked around and saw a bokuto (wooden sword). He raised it on the Oni and prepared to attack.

Anna: Bokuto?

Yoh muttered under his breath...

"I can't risk the both of us die. I would prefer myself, instead of Anna.

Anna: (What are you waiting for? Run! Asakura Yoh! At your state right now, you won't be able to defeat an Oni! What are you waiting for! RUN!)

Anna had a hard time talking. She can't talk, all she can do now is watch Yoh attacking the Oni which doesn't make that much damage.

Yoh: RUN! ANNA!

Anna snapped out of it. She was able to control herself more now.

Yoh: THE ONI IS MY PROBLEM! GO BACK HOME AND CALL EVERYONE ELSE FOR HELP! ANNA!

Anna: (But, if I still do that, we can't reach in time... You'll... you'll...)

Anna: MOVE ASIDE! YOH!

The Oni was closing in on Yoh, Anna ran to Yoh. She was supposed to help him.. What had she done?

After the impact from the Oni. It was black for Yoh. He blacked out. Was he dead? Is his last breath gone?

Yoh woke up. He heard chime at the night. It was peaceful. He was back home.

Yoh: The Oni... Anna... What happened to the Oni?... What happened to... Anna...? Light...

hao-addict: wow... translating is sure hard isn't it? well, thats all for now!
