I stood in front of the mirror in side of my tent. A beautiful blonde haired girl stared back at me with her black onyx eyes. I sighed and closed my eyes wanting that bitch to disappear but when I opened them again she still stood there. I didn't want to believe it was actually me…I was just so different without my red bandana and my beds which lied on my bed useless. Now I wore a bright red lipstick that matched with dress. The dress was without a back, with a very low neckline and it was slit up to my thigh. And, beautiful necklace with rubies surrounded my neck.
"Anna…"
I instantly turned on a sound of voice of my fiancée.
"You…you look beautiful" he somehow ménage to say.
I started blushing furiously "Thanks Hao, you're handsome by yourself."
I said stating him…
He smiled at me and took my hand "So are you ready?"
"Yeah..."
We said bye to Luca and Opacho before vanishing into flames.
About minute later we were in Izumo .We stood in front of the house, I spend almost my whole childhood. Hundred of memories rushed trough my head as I remembered the first day I came here …
"Are we sure about this?" Hao's voice brought me back to reality.
"Hm… yes…I…I think…"I forced a smile "Come on" I took his hand and we got inside.
The first thing I heard was a slow music, the light was low and the hundred of people were talking, some of them were dancing and some were just sitting…As we walked through the hall many people greeted as, the most of them weren't familiar to me.
And it was then when it hit me.
"Yoh!"
The name I have spoken so many times, the name I thought I won't hear ever again…I turned and there he stood, the one I loved so much and at the same time the one I hated so much, the one I went through all this pain for. He stood grinning as always, but there was something in his eyes something I haven't noticed before and…
"Hello Otouto!"
"Hao!" I can hear Yoh greeting him.
My heart warned to jump out of my chest and the voice of my former fiancée snap me back to realism.
"Hey Anna…" Yoh slowly said
"Yoh…" I said forcing a small smile.
I was totally lost…
"Hao, Anna…I want to meet you with my girlfriend Sakura…"Yoh said looking at me.
"Sakura" Hao nodded and shook girl's hand.
'Sakura' that is right, she is the girl from the picture…
"Nice to meet you, I am Anna, Hao's fiancée" I shook her hand too.
"Oh…I have heard a lot about you" she said smiling.
I could see Yoh's angry and yet again sad look. I could feel how I am falling apart. I was so close and yet so far from him…
"Sakura, Anna Yoh and I are going for a drink…and you two can go for a walk or something, are you fine with that?" Hao said breaking the silence between us.
"Yes…"we both answered
"We'll meet here later" I could hear Hao saying before they went.
"So…shall we?"
I heard Sakura's voice and snapped from the daze I was in"Hm…oh, yeah sure"
We passed through many rooms and hallways before getting outside, then we continued a small road and there it was the garden I always adored.
We continued walking…
"You know Anna, I have heard a lot about you…" Sakura first spoke
"Oh, really, from who?"
"Well, from Mrs. Kino and from Yoh…"
He talked her about me?
"So how did you meet Yoh?" I somehow managed to ask and not start crying because talking about him.
"Well, you see Anna I was born here in Japan, but when my parents died I went in America with my grandparents. And so one day my grandmother and I went to Japan for a visit to Mrs. Kino, they are friends for a very long time, and that is when I met Yoh. I think that both you and he were here…"
Yes, that's right now I know why she looked so familiar to me, I already saw her…
"I am sorry for your parents…"
She nodded.
"You know Anna, the only reason I have accepted to come back to Japan was because I heard you were there, my grandmother talked me a lot about you and I wanted to meet you., and I was always hoping that we can be friends, or something…I couldn't even think to fell in love with Yoh, but it's just happened and I…I hope that you don't hate me Anna and that we can still be friends or…" a guilty look spread across her face.
What? She actually wanted to be friend with me, an Ice Queen? Oh, dear God…
I looked at her, and somehow I just couldn't hate her, something wasn't letting me…
I sighed…
"Sakura, look at me, I don't hate you, I can't…look I forgot about Yoh long ago, now I have a new fiancée and Yoh have his own life, maybe it's not your fault, maybe you just helped as realize that we are not for each other…okay?" I told her trying to hide the tears that were coming…
"Friends?" I smiled and opened my hand.
She took my hand and smiled "Friends".
We started getting up, she was so kind to me and all I guess that having a new friend won't hurt so why not…I looked at her again.
"Sakura there is one more thing I want you to promise me…"I said closing my eyes.
"Sure Anna, what?"
"Promise you'll take care of Yoh" One drop of tear fall down…
"I promise" she said smiling sadly.
"Anna! Sakura!" we could hear Hao calling for us.
"COMING!"
"Come on!" and we journeyed to meet them.
Both Sakura and I knew that I was lying when I said I forgot Yoh, but no one had courage to admit that. I guess that from now on I'll have to try to forget Yoh for real, and I know it'll be hard but now I have a new friend. And there is one more thing I have realized this evening, from all the girls on this world I would pick just Sakura to be with Yoh if I already can't.
