Hello peeps! Third one up! Sorry for the delay, Len was bothering me and I couldn't get on the internet. There's going to be a few twists and turns and…stuff… (Whew! I almost spoiled it! And since I kind of have a good memory I'll keep in mind the next time I type something that spoils the fic I will find a dictionary of swear words and recite every single word in it)

Same Ground Ch. 3: Explanations
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"I'm Half a wolf demon?" Yoh asked. "No, stupid, your ancestor was." Draikiel said. Draikus-dono, this one still is half a wolf demon and please don't call him that, it is like you are calling this one that as well. Aridas said appearing. "If you allow us to stay at the Onsen Anna, we will gladly explain." Hao said. How could you possibly know what we were doing for the past year? Aridas asked. "Remember, little brother, I was tracking you and your master here, so I know what you've been doing." Hao said. "If you're going to explain it, stop talking amongst each other and come with us. We're not going to wait forever, you know." Anna said. When Aridas, Draikiel and Hao looked at Anna, she, Yoh and Amidamaru were already at the bottom of the hill. They quickly went down the hill and followed them.
(Yoh's pov) After Draikiel, Aridas and my brother explained a few things, we quickly understood what they were talking about. After a few moments of silence, Draikiel stood up and passed me. "Wait, where are you going?" I, and surprisingly, Anna said in unison. He stopped where he in front of the door. "… Our job's done, so we're leaving. I really wish I could stay, but I can't." He said opening the door, but soon he uttered something and quickly hid behind the counter. Seconds later a girl about Anna's age stepped in. Not only was she about her age, she looked exactly like her only she had a silver bandanna and her beads were a fiery red. She looked at us for a while then went behind the counter. When she stood up she was holding a small black wolf cub, who, I guessed was Draikiel, was held by the scruff of his neck. She then looked at him with an icy glare (which made the poor little guy wince). Aridas appeared a few seconds later. Ianna-dono! It has been long since- Aridas began. "Didn't I put you into training 500 years ago?" she said with a snap. Well… he said hands behind his head.Not only did she look like my fiancée, she acted like her, too- "Wait, five hundred years ago?" I said in my mind. "Yes, five hundred years ago, what's wrong with that?" she asked me. I was in hot water now. Her icy cold glare made Anna's glare 500 times weaker. "N-N-No… t-t-there's n-n-nothing w-w-wrong with th-that…" Was all I could force out. She read my mind- just like Anna. What was she, Anna's ancestor or something? "If you mean Kyoyama Anna, then yes, I am." She said.
(Normal pov) Yoh's jaw dropped down (anime-style) and to his surprise, so did Hao's. He guessed he read his mind too. Anna, Morty, and Horohoro, on the other hand, looked clueless like Draikiel who had managed to get out of her grip and scamper behind Anna. Len just looked emotionless. "If you don't stop looking at me like that I will rip out your internal organs and give it to the mangy curs outside the place for food." She snapped at them. They right away stopped looking at her and instead looked at Aridas with a "Who-is-this-girl?" look. Guys, this is Ianna-dono. Her real name is Arianna Kyoyama but this one would rather not call her by that name. As you have noticed, Yoh, she and Anna have the same… err… qualities... because they are indeed related by blood and she is still alive today because she reincarnated herself just like our brother Hao. So practically, they are sisters. He explained. "Just what we need, another Anna…" Horohoro, Morty, and Yoh said in their minds in unison (although all of them were smiling). Ianna looked at Yoh (which made him cower), then at Anna. "Is this your fiancée, sister?" She asked. She just nodded her head. Her attention then shifted to Draikiel (now back in original form) who was trying his best to get out of the Onsen. "And just where do you think you're going?" she asked him. "Craaaaaap…" he swore under his breath. "I need to get fresh air, so I'll be going right now…" he lied. "You're not going anywhere you blind shaman! We're staying here! You still have training to do! 10,000 push-ups and sit-ups on the double! What are YOU waiting for! GET TO IT!" She said in a military force sort of way. "Yes, Ianna…" he said as he did the first thousand push-ups quickly in the Onsen. Thanks a lot, Aridas. You just sent me to a one-way trip to boot camp. He said to Aridas. I hope she doesn't go single-minded and add another thousand push-ups. He added as he continued the next 8,999 push-ups.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
