Knowing the Real You
Chapter 4 : First Kiss
He was dreaming of her…there she was, the six-year -old Anna hitting him for not giving her his toy car, and he was crying…then the eight-year-old Anna forcing him to do the dishes…then the ten-year-old Anna making him mop the floor with his shirt…they were more like flash-backs of their history together, they sure were painful to remember, but they had a sweetness about them that only Yoh could understand…
It was almost noon, and the sunlight poured down on the unconscious Yoh in his bed, with Anna sitting right next to him…she was thinking… thank god I was there, or nobody would've helped him in that deserted area of the park…I swear if I find that bastard I'll kill him…
She looked down on him, he still has that pained look on him, his eyebrows are frowned, but he still looks calm, his mouth slightly open…oh Yoh…please be ok…I don't know if I should take you to a hospital or not…I don't want to leave your side…
He was still dreaming when he heard her…she sounded so far away, yet he heard her…she sounded worried…so unlike Anna…he heard his name between those lines… can it be? She's worried about me?
These questions were interrupted…he felt something soft touching his lips…he felt a tongue enter his mouth…he couldn't resist, even in his painful condition, he couldn't resist…
Slowly, he opened his eyes. The first thing that met his eyes were her tears, Anna's tears that shone brightly on her face. Her eyes were closed, yet tears still poured out of them as she pressed her lips softly against his lips…he raised his hand to touch her face…
She yelped when she felt Yoh's hand. She broke away and held his hand, speechless.
"Yo!" was all he said to her. She smiled; it was so like Yoh to say that, she was so releived, her tears just came forth even harder. She opened her mouth to speak; Yoh expected nothing but comforting words…but then…
"YOU IDIOT! HOW COULD YOU LET THAT STUPID SHAMAN HIT YOU LIKE THAT? WHERE HAS ALL MY TRAINING GONE?"
She completely exploded. Yoh's hair was blowing backwards as he was on the receiving end of Anna's yelling. It kept on going for at least half an hour, Anna yelling her head off, reminding him for the hundredth time how big of an idiot he was, and Yoh sitting there waiting for her to finish, smiling weakly…
"What are you smiling about, baka? You could have died."
He didn't reply, he just gave her his cute smile. She blushed, remembering what she was doing when Yoh first woke up, but hid it quickly…
"You're ok now, so I don't need to waste my time anymore than I already have," and she left the room.
Although these were extremely hurtful words, Yoh wasn't affected by them in the slightest…because the reason of his continuous smiling when he was being yelled at, was his new ability…what he heard from Anna's thoughts were enough to make any boy think he's the luckiest guy on earth…
And besides…today he had received his very first kiss…from the girl he had started to fall in love with…
