Chapter 2:
"We meet again"
Yoh lay on his bed, bored to death. It had been nearly a week since he went to the docks. He didn't know why, but he couldn't stop thinking about Anna. Yoh rolled over, "Tch, what was her deal?"
It was a Friday; most regular kids his age would be at school, but not him, not since Amidamaru died. His mother, Keiko, went to work that day. Since Yoh finally started to eat, she felt that it was ok to go back to work for once.
Yoh looked at the clothes on his drawer, "Those are hers. I better give them back."
Yoh got up and left with the clothes in hand. He was hoping that Anna went to school, but yet he wanted to see her again.
Then he heard Mrs. Hino say, "Hello! Come to see Anna-chan?"
"Um, yes is she here?" Yoh asked.
"I'm sorry, she's not."
"Oh, is she at school?"
"No, she's………." Mrs. Hino hesitated to say where she was, "Never mind that, she probably won't be back for a while, anything I can do?"
"No," Yoh said a little sadly, "Thanks, though."
Mrs. Hino smiled as Yoh walked away, "Such a sweet friend of Anna-chan's."
Yoh for some reason went to the docks again. He sat down on the ground instead of the dock this time.
'Why did I come here? Am I waiting for something? If I am, what is it? Am I waiting for a sign to kill myself? Or am I waiting for……'
"Hey!" said a familiar voice.
Yoh looked up, "An-Anna?" He noticed that now she was wearing her red bandana.
Anna checked his forehead, "Hm, no fever, have you been eating?"
Yoh slightly nodded.
"Are you planning to drown yourself again?"
"No," Yoh said angrily, then he picked up the clothes, "I came to give this back to you."
"Why didn't you go to the inn?" Anna took the clothes.
"I did," Yoh started to stand up.
"Then why didn't you just leave them there with Mrs. Hino?" Anna asked.
"Well, I……….." Yoh looked away, and Anna smirked.
"Why aren't you in school?"
"Why aren't you?"
"Because I don't have money for supplies, and for other reasons………"
"What 'other reasons'?" Yoh asked and she gave him a glare.
"I answered your question now answer mine!"
"I don't want to go," Yoh said.
"Because of your friend? Was he your only friend?" Anna asked.
"Why are you interested?"
"I'm trying to help you out," she simply said.
"How does this help me out?"
"You may not think so, but talking about does help."
"I don't even know you!"
"Which in your case is better, right?"
"What?"
"Well, you have no other friends, and it seems that you and your family aren't very close. Maybe you need to get away from those you know, because when you tell them you know how they'll react."
"So it's ok to talk to a perfect stranger?"
"No, it's not. But we aren't perfect strangers, I did give you mouth to mouth," She smirked.
Yoh growled, "I don't want to talk about it!" He knew that what she said about his family and talking about it was true.
Yoh sat back down and buried his face in his hands and growled in frustration.
Anna sat next to him and hugged her knees, "Look, I'm sorry. I guess you really miss him."
Yoh glared and said sarcastically, "You think!"
"Do you have something that he gave you?"
"Of course!"
"What were they?"
Yoh just glared, "I told you I don't want to talk about it, you may try to find your way around it, but I'm not telling!"
Anna sighed, "Alright, I'll do the talking. See my red bandana? It is very important to me. It was given to me by my family for my birthday. And it reminds me of them."
"Reminds you of them?" Yoh asked.
"Yes, they're dead," Yoh was shocked to hear her say it so calmly.
She turned to look at him, but her eyes were just so blank that it was like she was looking through him.
"They were brutally murdered right in front of me. My mom, my dad, my brother…...they are all gone. My bandana used to be white, but on that day………..everyone………everywhere………blood………." Anna buried her head in her knees, "Why? Why was I the only one to survive? Why did the murderer spare me? It was me who was supposed to die!"
Yoh felt so bad for his attitude, thinking that she knew nothing, "I….I'm sorry………"
Anna lifted her head up, "You should be!"
"Hey! It's isn't easy for me to apologize!" Yoh fired back, but his expression changed when he saw her smirk.
"Stubborn ass!"
"Hey that's not very nice of you!"
"What did I say? I'm not nice!" Anna smirked.
"Then why did you save me and give me food?"
"You really have the nerve to ask that!" Anna glared, "I saw my parents die! You think I'd sit back and watch you die!"
"…...sorry……" Yoh whispered, but Anna heard it.
"Do you think I'm a sick freak?"
Yoh turned to face her, "Why would I think that!"
"Do you think it's weird that I wear a bandana full of my family's blood?"
"Mm…………a little," Yoh answered truthfully, "but it's a reminder so it's not that weird."
"It…….it's just that when I wear it, it feels as though we are together again," Anna looked at the water, "Most of the scars on me are from the accident."
"Most?"
Anna was silent as she kept her eyes on the water.
"My friend, Amidamaru," Yoh decided to answer her former question, "He gave me orange head-phones."
"Then Yoh," Anna got up, "Next time I see you; I want to see those head-phones on your head! That is, if I see you again."
Anna started to walk away, "Ja ne!"
Yoh didn't do anything, but stare at the water. Yoh put stretched his hands along the ground and then he felt the clothes that Anna forgot to take with her.
"Hey, Anna!" Yoh got up and called to her, but he was too late. Yoh sighed, "Does she do this on purpose?"

How was that? Heh, at some parts Yoh sounded like Anna. In this story it kind of seems as though Anna is very moody, I didn't really mean to do that. Please REVIEW and tell me how I did. Until next time
Ja ne
