Chapter 10:

"Here Comes the Rain Again"

I was dressed in my black suit. Almost everything I was wearing was black except my orange headphones and white buttoned shirt. I was wearing the necklace Anna gave me. The necklace Anna gave me before she died. I was on my way to her funeral. Hao and my mother accompanied me.

As I stepped outside, I felt the cold rain and started to walk to the cemetery.

Here comes the rain again

Falling on my head like a memory

Falling on my head like a new

emotion

I want to walk in the open wind

I want to talk like lovers do

I want to dive into your ocean

Is it raining with you

I remember her saying that she had to go before it rains, and she did, she did "go" before it rained. And now it won't stop raining. I really wanted to talk to her. Knowing that I couldn't hear her voice or see her pretty face again saddened me. I missed her; I missed her and Amidamaru.

So baby talk to me

Like lovers do

Walk with me

Like lovers do

Talk to me

Like lovers do

I remembered walking with her to the cemetery and talking to her. She really did save my life.

I arrived at the funeral with my mom and Hao. I went to Mrs. Hino who was weeping "My Anna-chan! My Anna-chan!"

I couldn't take this. The night before, I saw Anna's body ready for the funeral. She was wearing her bandana, of course. She also wore a beautiful white sun dress, and the beads I had given her. She was totally white, except for the bandana (and her hair of course!). She looked different, but peaceful.

Not many were there, just the few people who lived at the inn who were able to attend the funeral. But as Anna said, the tears represent a person's worth.

Here comes the rain again

Raining in my head like a tragedy

Tearing me apart like a new

emotion

Oooooh

I want to breathe in the open wind

I want to kiss like lovers do

I want to dive into your ocean

Is it raining with you

I closed my eyes as they started to bury her. I couldn't take Mrs. Hino's sobs "My Anna-chan! My Anna-chan!" I started to cry.

Why is this happening to me! WHY! First Amidamaru and now Anna!

So baby talk to me

Like lovers do

I'd do anything to be with them again; to talk to them again! But Anna's last words rang in my head "I saved your life for a reason".

My eyes remained closed until I felt my brother's hand on my shoulder, "Do you want to talk to me? I mean, when you ready?" Hao's eyes were full of sadness.

All I did was nod. And I turned back to see that they were done burying her. Mrs. Hino stood up and wiped the tears away, "Please, everyone, you are invited to the inn as thanks for attending my Anna-chan's funeral."

She slowly walked away and many followed. To my surprise, my mom was crying and she never once met Anna.

"How…………how sad!" My mother choked out and covered her face with her hands. Hao just stood there staring with sad eyes.

"You guys could head over to the inn," Hao and my mom at me confusedly, "There's something I must do first."

"Hao," my mother said, "Maybe you should go with him."

"No, I will go by myself," I said and my mom was shocked and scared, "Don't worry I promised I won't run off or do anything stupid."

"C'mon, mom," Hao looked at her, "Let's head over to the inn and give Yoh a little alone time."

When my mom and brother left I stared at where they had just buried Anna, my Anna.

Here comes the rain again

Falling on my head like a memory

Falling on my head like a new

emotion

(Here it comes again, here it comes

again)

I want to walk in the open wind

I want to talk like lovers do

I want dive into your ocean

Is it raining with you

"You are reunited with your family," I said, "I hope you are happy. Will you……wait for me?"

There was no answer that could be heard by others. I knew what she was saying in my head.

"Don't worry. I'll be joining you when I'm an old man, and you'll still be a beautiful young woman……... I could just imagine you with your family. You're wearing a white bandana with that white sun dress you were buried with, you have no scars, and you're smiling.

"So how's it feel, paying the high cost of living? Please visit me in a dream or two and talk to me. And keep Amidamaru company will you? I have to be going. I need to comfort Mrs. Hino. I will come back. I'll come back tomorrow with roses, white roses. But before I leave, I have one more person to visit. Please………visit me in a dream sometime."

I walked over to Amidamaru's grave, "Hey, how's it going? Another friend of mine is joining you. Please take care of her. Her name is Anna. She is beautiful and has blonde hair. She is wearing a white bandana and a white dress. You guys are a lot alike……… Can you wait for me? Can you wait together with her?

"It's hard to believe, I just lost 2 friends in just one year," I said sadly, wiping the tears away, I started smiled, "But don't worry, I'll make others just as you and Anna have told me too."

I turned to leave, a couple of tears escaped my eyes, "Good bye, I……...promise to come back."

I left to the inn. When I walked in, everyone turned to me as Mrs. Hino said, "Oh and here he is!"

I looked at everyone and I was confused, why were they staring at me?

"This is the boy who made my Anna-chan happy! You see, for those who don't know, Anna-chan was never a very fortunate child. She was born with a heart problem and was never expected to live this long. She was expected to live only 8 years, but instead she lived 8 years longer. She had lost her family on her eighth birthday, with her not knowing where to go, I took her in. From then on she was never really happy, until she met Yoh."

Mrs. Hino turned and looked at me with a sad smile; she was slowly breaking down, "She saved Yoh when he fell in the water. Apparently Yoh had lost someone close to him too, so they talked to each other about it. Yoh made Anna-chan happy. Anna-chan made Yoh happy," Mrs. Hino smiled at me with teary eyes, "You may have thought that Anna-chan saved your life, but you saved hers too. You made her happy; you stopped her from being so depressed. I want to thank you…... Thank You so much!" Mrs. Hino hugged me and broke out into tears, "You saved Anna-chan from a sad death!"

Wait what? I saved her? All this time I thought that I was being helped from her, but actually I helped her out too…………

"Thank you Mrs. Hino," I hugged her back.

"You know, my husband died a year before Anna-chan came to me. She was the only family I had left!"

"No, Mrs. Hino, she is not the only member in your family. Look around you Mrs. Hino; everyone here in the inn is your family. From now on consider me as part of your family too."

Mrs. Hino looked at the people around her, and the inn people all smiled at her and welcomed her to their crowd.

"You are all……my family?" Mrs. Hino wiped her tears away.

They nodded and Mrs. Hino came to her new family as they all comforted her.

"Wow," my mom said, "Anna saved your life, and you never bothered to tell me?"

I looked down, "I'm sorry."

"No, I'm sorry," my mom looked at me and my brother, "I should have been more interested in your lives. I should have talked to you when Amidamaru died instead of just standing back and letting you mope around."

"Hm," Hao thought for a second, and then started to talk to me, "Look at this. Look at everyone, coming together. It's hard to believe that Anna caused all this. She even got mom to realize that she may have not been the best mom she could be."

"Yea, well, Anna was like that," I smiled, "Anna could do the impossible. She got me to accept that Amidamaru's death was not my fault, and she gave me courage to visit his grave."

"Um, excuse me," a spiked-blue-haired boy asked, "You are Yoh?"

"Um, yes, who are you?"

"I'm Horo Horo," answered the boy, "I live here."

"Oh, nice to meet you," I shook Horo Horo's hand.

"This is my sister Pirika," Horo (a/n: I'm just gonna call him, Horo, k?) pointed to the teary eyed blue haired girl, "She was a friend of Anna's. Pirika has something to say."

"Thank you!" Pirika choked out, "I could never get Anna to smile like you did!"

I smiled; Anna did have other friends at the inn. I should do as she told me too. I should make other friends, like she said: it's not a crime.

That day I got to know Horo and Pirika better. I had made new friends. It must have been Anna's planning from up above. She knew that Horo and I would get along.

The next day I went to the cemetery and brought white roses.

"Hi, Anna, I cannot thank you enough for everything you've done for me. You helped me live. You helped me get courage. You helped me make new friends. You helped me to love." I closed my eyes, a few tears came, "Thank you…… I promise to visit you and your family every day and I will visit Amidamaru.

"I promise…………"
