Disclaim: No profit made, unless in my dream…start daydreaming
Sorry folks, this is my first fanfic, plus English is not my first language, so…forgive me for any mistakes, corrections and suggestions are welcomed.
Chapter 2
"Nooooo!" Horohoro screamed as Ren threw him out of the window.
"Hmm, this is such a nice evening; I wish everyday could be like this." Yoh said with a lazy yawn, "no training, so peaceful."
"Anna won't like what you just said." Manta stated the simple yet powerful truth in a matter-of-fact way.
"Hehe, you're right." Yoh admitted it with a nervous laugh, no uses deny the well-known fact of the fear he had of Anna, but then again, who isn't afraid of the Ice Queen. That's when he noticed that Anna is not in the room anymore. Without even knowing it, he got up and begun searching for her.
Opened the door, Yoh saw the pretty yet cold itako, stood alone on the roof, and was watching the sky. Watching the sky? A big question mark appeared in Yoh's mind, he won't be surprised if it's anyone else, but Anna? Watching the sky? Well… …
He walked toward her slowly and quietly, oh, and nervously, too. Finally arrived at her side, to his surprise, he found himself looking at a thoughtful and almost… sad Anna, her gorgeous green eyes fixed on the moon.
He has no idea what was bothering her, I finished today's training, and we won a beautiful battle, he wanted to comfort her. So after a mind battle, he bravely put his arm around her shoulder, the shoulder of the Anna Kyouyama. Now, that is courageous, or so he thought.
Oh, good, now I'll have a red mark on my face, exactly what I need. He thought sarcastically, cursing himself for being impulsive, closed his eyes and waited for the slap.
But to his great amazement, the slap did not come. Anna remained motionless, no reaction at all. Now, this is weird.
"Yoh." A soft voice reached Yoh. If he hadn't been staring at Anna and personally saw the word being spoken by her, he'd never believe that she, who speaks only when necessary with her commanding tone, could and would speak in such a soft voice, he had to admit that he is getting uneasy.
"Y-yes?" the stunned young shaman responded.
Anna opened her mouth, and shut it. She had seen how stunned Yoh is, I'm acting too weird, she thought, I shouldn't go all soft; maybe it's not the right time yet. After a few seconds of uncomfortable silence, she opened her mouth again, only this time, spoke with her ever-so-cold tone, "You better win the tournament, or you are dead. You have to train hard. You have to, you must become the Shaman King, do you understand me?"
"Eh? Eh, h-hai!" Yoh knew the magic moment was over. Anna was once again hidden behind her mask of coldness. Which he had tried to remove before, only got rewarded with slaps. But he considered himself lucky after what Tamao told him about Anna's encounter with Hao Asakura, at least Anna had never use the Legendary Left on him…yet.
They stood on the roof, watched the sky with total silence. But the hearts lies inside them might not be as calm as they appeared to be.
