Knowing the Real You

Chapter 5: Jealousy…

"YOH! OH MY GOD, YOH ARE YOU OK?" Tamao rushed into his room the minute she heard Yoh had been hurt. She practically ran to his bed and held his hand, tears shining in her eyes.

Great…why did she have to come?…> Anna turned her head away the moment she saw Tamao enter the room, although she knew Yoh would be able to hear her, try as she might she couldn't stop herself from thinking in rage…

what's SHE doing here? I was happy with just the two of us here alone…>

Oh no…> again she had embarrassed herself in front of him…she decided to get out of the room as soon as possible before her feelings were uncovered by him anymore than they already have…

Yoh, on the other hand, was smiling to himself in amusement…this was going to be interesting…

They heard a knock on the door. They turned to see all their friends at the door looking worried…including Horohoro...his face darekened when he saw him...but before he could say anything...

"MASTER!" Ryu leapt on him, hugging him with tears pouring down his face like waterfalls, until Yoh felt his ribcage cracking. The rest of them walked over to him and asked about what happened…Yoh's eyes widened, he didn't know how to act...he had just punched Horohoro on the face that same day...but he still came...to see him...

When Yoh explained about the incident, they all flared up at once…asking questions about who thatbastard could be, and why has he chosen Yoh to hit…all the while Yoh was looking at them with shocked eyes…he couldn't believe it…he was so surprised at how his friends seemed to be so worried about him…he could hear every single one of their troubled thoughts over him, and how upset they were, and how they would get revenge on his attacker if they found him…

This was turning to be the best day of his life…

Of course the same couldn't be told about Anna…

Before the gang had showed up, she was planning on leaving to save herself…but since they came in she was held for investigation, drowning with questions about Yoh…so she decided to hang around for just a little while longer…it wasn't entirely because of them…she didn't care about what they wanted…what was holding her back was the fact that Tamao hadn't let go of Yoh's hand since the second she came in…her eyebrows twitched every time she heard Tamao's sweet talk with Yoh…it was driving her nuts…she decided to do something about it.

"Tamao-chan, can you please help me in the kitchen, we have so many guests…"

"Ummm…I'd like to stay with Yoh-kun for a little while longer Anna-chan," she said in apology. "Pilika could go instead…" she pointed to the blue-haired girl standing next to her brother.

Silence…

Everybody looked disbelievingly at Tamao. Nobody, and I mean nobody, has ever denied Anna what she wanted, or even questioned her orders…this matter was even worse…this girl was getting close to her fiancé…they all turned to look at Anna apprehended…they covered their ears for the explosion that would occur in a matter of seconds…

They waited…

Nothing happened…

She showed no emotion, she just turned to Pilika and beckoned her to come with her. Without a word, she walked out of the room.

They all let their breaths out…that was close…

and speaking of Pilika's brother...

Horohoro hadn't spoken a word since he came...his face looked worried...and it was true, Yoh could hear how upset he was with his new ability...but Horohoro seemed to be avoiding him...he couldn't forget what happend between them only a couple of hours ago...he was still angry...but Yoh was not prepared to forgive him or apologize to him anytime soon...hehad tried to seduce Anna,afterall...

and there was something else...

It wasn't only Anna who was bothered by Tamao's behaviour…two hot headed shamans were staring daggers at the hand that was still over Yoh's hand…

Yoh seemed to notice that…seeing as that he couldn't block their thoughts from his ears...but he never thought those two would fall for Tamao…of all the people... Ren and Ryu!...forgetting momentarily about Horohoro...he watched those two in amusement...and he laughed openly at them...they all stared at him incrudelously...and they all had the same thoughts...

That hit on the head had defitely done someting to him...>

In the kitchen…

Anna was acting strange…she slammed anything that came across her hand on the counter…she dropped several dishes and cups on the floor…not bothering to clean up…she seemed to be muttering to herself…her eyes, that were usually dead and scary, seemed to be even more so…Pilika was definitely freaked out…

When they were done from cutting some pieces of cake and putting them on a serving plate, they headed back to Yoh's room…when they got nearer, they heard a sort of commotion going on in there…

She panicked…something was wrong…she could feel it…

She quickened her pace and pushed the door open. When she looked inside, she noticed that everybody seemed to be on their feet. And they were gathering around Yoh's bed, looking scandalized.

When she walked in, they all turned to look at her with terrified eyes, not saying a word.

She got nearer…

And nearer…

Then her fiancé came into view…

What she saw made her drop the plate she was carrying…it shattered into a thousand pieces…

Just like her heart…
