Title: Forbidden Love

By: ChibiAzn3

Summary: Anna Kyouyama. She was the Governor's one and only daughter. She was the one to marry Prince Hao. She was the one who fell in love with a servant? YxA

The Puzzle is Coming Together

I know….awful title…you can come up with better?

"Yoh?" The elderly woman asked looking at Yoh with emotionless eyes.

"Wha-? Oh, gomen baasan." Yoh said turning around from the door.

The elderly woman took no notice of this. "Keiko?"

"Yes, mother?" The young woman beside her named Keiko rose.

"When all has quieted down, when the suspicions have calmed, I would like for you to bring the young girl to me." The elderly woman said with her eyes closed.

Keiko bowed respectfully. "Yes, mother, I will." Then she turned to leave.

"Jeanne, Pirika?" She turned her head to face the silver haired girl and the blue haired girl.

Both rose and bowed respectfully as Keiko did. "Yes, Kino-san?" They asked in unison.

"I would like for you two to tell all the servants to take no notice of Anna's visit down here. All must stay quiet. For now." As she said this, she stood up and frowned.

"Right away, Kino-san." They bowed once more and left.

"Yoh." Kino said.

"Oranges…"

"Yoh!" She opened her eyes (not that u can tell) and screamed when she saw Yoh holding an orange.

"AAHH!" Yoh screamed as he dropped to the floor with his hands covering his head. "Please don't hit me, baasan!" (I know….rather abrupt…and u must be asking how he healed so fast…don't ask…)

"What made you think I would hit you?" Kino asked raising an eyebrow.

Yoh peeked at her with one eye from under his hands. "Uh….because…um…you always….do?" He asked hopefully.

THWAAK!

"Baka…" Kino murmered as she sat back down.

Yoh was now crying waterfalls of tears. (Yoh's back to his old self…the only reason he wasn't himself before was because Hao was messing with HIS ANNA! NO ONE messes with ANNA. He is VERY protective of her, we all know that)

"B-But that hurt, baasan!" Yoh cried.

"BAKA THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO HURT! NOW STOP WHINING!" Kino screamed.

Yoh stopped crying immediately. "Hai, Baasan." He grinned sheepishly. He stood up and winced. With his injury, plus the smack his grandmother gave him, it hurt.

The man around his thirties looked concerned (I know u cant tell), he shot right up.

"Sit down, Mikihisa, the boy is fine." Kino sternly told him.

"Yes, mother." Mikihisa said and reluctantly sat down.

Kino turned to face Yoh again. "Are you alright?" She asked emotionlessly.

"Yeah." Yoh said quietly.

"Forgive me for having to do that to you Yoh, while you were still gravely injured, but YOU ARE JUST TOO UNDISCIPLINED!" Kino spoke harshly.

Yoh sweatdropped. "Ah….heh…..sorry, baasan….I know I'm supposed to be the one to…you know….but…" He sighed. He thought back.

"Yoh. I know you still have feelings for Hao. He was once a brother to you. But now, all has changed. He must be stopped…or else…" Kino said looking away.

Yoh did not reply.

FLASHBACK

"Hurry Oni-chan!" Little Yoh cried as he ran through the garden.

"Haha! Alright, Ototo. You hide, I'll seek, but if I scare you, don't you DARE cry!" Hao yelled.

Yoh stopped only to grin at his brother from a distant, and continued running.

"I'll find you Yoh! I WILL!" He laughed as his Ototo his in a nearby bush.

He slowly crept up on him….then

AAHH!

"GOTCHA!"

"WAHH! Oni-chan! Th-That was m-m-mean!"

"Aw, come on…you promised not to cry!"

Yoh stopped and looked at Hao with watery eyes. "I know!" He said happily.

END FLASHBACK.

That was before…this is now..what his baasan said was true. He sighed. All had changed since that fateful day.

FLASHBACK

"Kaasan, tousan…where's oni-chan?" Yoh asked as he came into the dining hall while rubbing his little eyes.

Keiko and Mikihisa carefully avoided Yoh's eyes. "He…"Keiko began.

Yoh's eyes widened. "What? Kaa-san" He cried as he went to his mother and shook her knees. "What? What happened to Oni-chan? What?"

Keiko did not answer.

Mikihisa sighed. "Yoh, your brother is gone."

Yoh fell silent.

"Yoh? Yoh, dear, please, you're scaring me like this. Yoh?" Keiko immediately put her hand around Yoh and hugged him.

"Oni-chan's….gone?" Yoh muttered.

Keiko swallowed. "Last night, remember when he said he would go to the park?"

Yoh nodded.

Keiko continued her story. "Well, he never came back. The next day, the city police told us there was an ambush on the people in the park." Her voice was shaky. "No one knows if Hao was there….but….he isn't..here…." Then she began to sob.

No. Yoh didn't believe it. As a five year old, this was too much to bear. Hr turned, and ran. In a far distant, hearing his mother's pleading.

The next morning…

Yoh decided to go to the garden. "This is where Oni-chan and I used to play…" He muttered as tears filled up. He sighed and sat down on a bench when he noticed…

"O-Oni-chan?" Yoh cracked.

The figure did not move.

"Oni-chan! It's you! You're back! Oni-chan!" Yoh cried as he ran over. The figure rose. It was his oni-chan, but all the same, it wasn't…

"ONI-CHAN!"

END FLASHBACK

Yoh didn't notice he was crying. Hao did return, but he began to change. Little by little, the caring Oni-chan he once knew became the all powerful and hating Hao Asakura.

Yoh sighed again.

"Yoh?" Kino asked. She knew what Yoh was thinking. She sighed. "Yoh, you cannot alter what has already changed-"

"But I can try to change it, can't I Baasan? Can't I?" Yoh asked with tears filling up.

Kino did not reply.

"He….Oni-chan was…..so much to me…and now you're training me to kill him." Yoh said in a hollow way.

Kino did not speak.

Yoh then turned to leave.

Mikihisa shot up.

"Leave him be, the boy needs time." Kino simply said.

OOO

"Lady Anna" Nichrome bowed respectfully as she entered the Dining Hall.

Anna ignored him and took her seat at the far end, carefully avoiding Hao's eyes.

"So…"Hao began, looking up from his newspaper.

Anna flinched inside at the sound of the cold cruel voice. But she didn't let it show.

"I wonder, why, you are late to breakfast while you woke up so early?" He said with a smirk

Anna still avoided his eyes. "No. I slept in."

"Don't lie to me, my dear. I know you left your room early in the morning. Your room maid announced that you were missing around 9:00"

Anna shrugged. She faced him, and stared into the cold icy eyes. "Really? Well, I was in the garden for a stroll then…"

"But you said you slept in, did you not?" Hao asked raising his eyes.

"To me, sleeping in means 8:00 or later. I usually wake up around 7:00" She said stiffly.

"Hahaha" Hao laughed. "Do you really expect me to believe that?"

That was it. She couldn't take anymore. She took her cloth and carefully wiped her mouth with it. "Please excuse me, I am very busy today. I shall be returning home."

Anna stood up from her chair. She walked past Hao until he suddenly grabbed her.

"I don't think I shall allow you to go anywhere, my dear." Hao said smirking.

"I must visit father and mother." She stated simply.

Hao thought for a moment. "Fine. Alright. I give you one day. You will return at night."

Anna raised her eyebrows. "And if I don't?" She asked. She knew Hao would do something is she did not return.

Hao thought for a moment, examining Anna. He cocked his head to one side in amusement. "If you don't, my dear, I will order my guards to take a few of your servant friends, and burn them." He said adding an evil grin.

Anna's heart began to beat fast. Her first thought was Yoh. No! She can't let it show! "S-So?" She choked.

"My dear, you really shouldn't hide your true feelings because you are absolutely horrible at doing so. I am giving you one chance. Or should I just go ahead and get them right now?" He snapped his fingers.

Anna's eyes widened. "No! Stop! I-I will…I promise…"

"Hahha….you'd better…" Hao said before letting her go.

Anna glared at him one last time before running off.

OOOO

"Tam! Tam!" She cried as she rushed into the big mansion.

"Anna? Anna is that you dear?" A figure rose.

Anna stopped. Her heart grew cold. "Oh. Mother."

The woman smiled. "Anna dear, welcome back. How was it?"

"It was fine." Anna said stiffly.

"Well, if you want, you can come with me and enjoy tea." Her mother pointed to the kitchen.

"No thanks. I'm busy. I must find someone." Anna said coldly.

Her mother was taken aback. "Wh-What? B-But what about your father and I? You didn't miss us?"

Anna glared at her. "NO! YOU PRACTICALLY SOLD ME TO THAT HAO BASTARD AND NOW YOU THINK I'LL LIKE YOU! IN YOUR POINT OF VIEW, I'm just money. I'm not your daughter, and I was never proud to be anyways." She stormed off.

Boy did that feel good.

OO

"Tam!" She cried as she opened her door.

The pink haired girl, who was on the floor stood up in alarm. "L-LLady Anna? Anna?" She said in disblief. Her eyes were red from crying, and tears filled up.

"Tam! Tam, are you…have you been crying?" Anna asked with concern.

Tamao began to sob. "I-I'm sorry Anna! I can n-no longer b-be your friend!"

"Don't say that! You are always my friend, and I need you now, more than ever." Anna said shaking her friend.

"Y-Your father and mother, s-said that since you'll be moving out, they'll have no use for me…they're selling me!" She sobbed even harder.

Anna looked at her friend in disbelief. "No….how could they…"

Tamao continued sobbing.

"Tam. Tam, listen to me."

Tamao stopped and looked at Anna.

"Come with me. Come with me, I'll buy you." Anna said.

"No! I won't let you waste your money on me! You know you'll need it if anything happens! You're mother and father never give you money, nor will Prince Hao…you'll need it."

She sobbed harder than ever.

"I'll work." She finished.

Tamao stopped. "No!"

"Stop. I'll find a way. But that isn't what I came here about." Anna continued.

Tamao looked at her confusingly.

"Tamao…do you know what the prince's brother's name was?" She questioned with her heart beating fast. If her hunches were right…if what she witnessed was true…if the last piece of the puzzle fit…

Tamao frowned. "I um….remember it meant something to do with nature…tree? I forgot…Gomen…But why do you wanna know? The prince's brother is dead."

Anna stopped. Nature? Yoh meant…Yoh in Japanese meant….! Anna turned to Tamao. "Tam…was his name…was his name…Yoh?"

Tamao looked at Anna wide eyed. "Yeah! "I think it was….but…how'd you remember?" She asked curiously.

Anna was in shock. So….Yoh….was…

"Anna?"

Anna snapped back to reality. "Come on, Tam. We're leaving."

"Huh? Where?"

"To the Palace."

"Why?"

"Because…"

"Why?"

"I just realized…"

"What?"

"I'll explain later." She took a suitcase and stuffed some of her clothes for Tamao and left. "Come on!"

Tamao unsuerely, followed.

OOO

Anna ran up to the palace. The guards let her in.

She was about to go up the grand starecase when-

"You have returned, Anna? Was it?" A figure rose.

Anna fell back in terror.

Tamao went to Anna's side.

"Wh-Who are you?" She demanded.

The figure stepped into the light. It was the young woman named Keiko.

"Do not worry. I will not harm you." She smiled in a motherly way.

Anna said nothing, but was utterly comfused.

"Follow. All shall be explained shortly."

OOOOO
