Chapter 3: The last thing I heard
I will never forgive you… if somebody had this new ability Yoh had, that is what they would've heard coming from Yoh as he stared down at Horohoro, who was still recovering from the shock of being punched in the face by his usual calm friend. But he recovered fast enough, seeing as how hot-blooded he was…
"YOH! How dare you punch me for no reason? I oughtta…" but he shut up at the look Yoh was giving him. It was nothing like he had ever seen, like the eyes of a tiger staring at its prey, ready to strike…
They both kept silent, only dimly aware of the shocked Anna inside watching the whole scene…but then Yoh spoke:
"Horohoro, get the hell outta here. I don't wanna see your face for the rest of my entire life…"
He was saying this in the most dangerous voice ever to be heard, it reminded him of the way Yoh spoke to Hao, with that deadly glare… although Horohoro was known to be an idiot who knew nothing about people's feelings, he was quite hurt by this sudden change in Yoh… for all he knew, his friend had punched him for absolutely no reason…
Yoh didn't even wait for a reply; he walked in and slammed the door in Horohoro's face, leaving him outside, dumbstruck. He passed Anna who was still in the kitchen without a word, went to his room, put on his jacket and was on his way out of the house when she caught his arm.
"Where do you think you're going? You've got some training to do mister" but she was immediately interrupted,
"I'm not training today Anna" in a tone that made it sound so final she didn't even argue. She stopped pulling on his arm, but didn't let go.
"Yoh, you can hear my thoughts, right? You…you know I'm… worried, don't you?" she said to him in barely more than a whisper.
This calmed Yoh down a lot, he knew Anna for too long not to know that these words were causing her all her dignity to say.
"Why did you punch Horohoro, Yoh? He didn't say anything, of course that was your fault after hitting him after barely two seconds. So it must have been something he was thinking, ne?"
He sighed secretly; she was just too smart for her own good. He chose not to reply.
"Yoh," but he had no intention whatsoever of telling her. He pulled his arm from her grasp, and said without looking at her,
"Nothing. Just…stay away from him ok," and heft her there to be confused on her own.
He didn't really know where he was going, he just walked on and on, thinking…I don't love Anna…so why am I so mad at Horohoro? Why did I go ballistic just thinking of what he might have done to her?… is this what they call jealousy? No, no, I'm not jealous…I'm just…well…she's like a sister and…ummm…AAAAAAAHHHHHHH I WON'T THINK ABOUT IT! I DON'T CARE…
He looked around, his legs had led him to the city park. It was still quite early, it'd be nice to have a walk here and just cool down. He passed a group of girls sitting on a bench chatting, he blushed furiously as he heard every single one of them think the same thing:
Woooow…he's SOOO cute!….> he sighed in exasperation, he was used to girls staring at him and flirting with him in school, but he was just never interested in any of them, they were not like her.
Without warning, he felt a hard blow on the back of his head. The sick sound of metal on skull was heard as Yoh fell to the ground, glimpsing the tip of a metal pipe gleaming in the strong sunlight. He tried to get up, but his eyes were out of focus, he was starting to lose consciousness, everything was going black and his head felt like it weighed a ton, before he fell into that darkness, the last thing he heard was her voice, her panicked shout as she screamed for him to be ok….
ne: right?
