Title: Forbidden Love
By: ChibiAzn3
Summary: Anna Kyouyama. She's the Governor's one and only daughter. She's the one to marry the fearful Prince Hao. She's the one who fell into a forbidden love relationship with a servant… YXA
Explanation
The three slowly journeyed their way down to the kitchens.
Keiko in front, leading them, and looking over her shoulder every few minutes, checking to see if they were following. When she does, she gives a warm motherly smile.
Anna is second, with a tad bit confusement but has a pretty good idea what is going on.
Tamao is following Anna unsurely and totally confused. Poor Tammy…
"Is Yoh your son?" Anna suddenly asked Keiko, if her calculations were correct, if it all added up…
Keiko stopped hesitantly, which caused Anna too bump into her and Tamao to bump into Anna.
"Gomen, um…" Anna trailed off. She knew the lady would have to give her her name. She smirked inside.
"Keiko. You may call me Keiko." Keiko finished with a warm smile.
"Keiko…?" Anna asked yet again. She didn't really want to be doing this, but it was the only way to find out more about Yoh.
Keiko stopped again, causing another chain reaction. This time, Tamao fell to the floor.
Keiko immediately turned around. "Oh, I'm so sorry, dear, here.." She helped hoist Tamao up, who was blushing due to embarrassment.
"N-No…I'm the one who's sorry…" She whispered shyly.
After the small incident, Anna continued questioning. "Keiko…are you? Yoh's mother?" She frowned slightly, waiting for a response.
Keiko, once again, hesitated. (A/N Don't kill me if I mess up, I'm talkn to my friends throe AIM while typin this…)
Anna raised her eyebrows. "Are you? Keiko?"
"All shall be revealed, Anna." Keiko finally answered after taking a moment of thought.
They continued walking…until they were back in the room.
-pause-
"Keiko…" Kino stood up and faced the door where Keiko had just appeared.
"Mother," she bowed slightly, "I have brought Anna here upon your request, shall I..?" She asked while making a gesture as to herself leaving.
Kino shook her head. "That won't be necessary. You are part of this, Keiko." She nodded with a small smile. "Mikihisa?"
Anna's eyes widened.
She followed Kino's gaze onto a man.
So he was…he was….King Mikihisa…Hao's…father… Could he also be…Yoh's?
"Mother," Mikihisa addressed her simply. (A/N Who is Kino and Yohmei's child? Is it Mikihisa? I forgot…judging by last name…seems to be Mikihisa…)
"Please fetch Yoh. He should be part of this. I believe he is in the other room right now, resting."
"Yes." Mikihisa stood up, bowed respectfully, and left.
Kino's gaze now fell upon Anna. "Hello, Anna."
Anna bowed respectfully. "Hello, Kino-san? I believe?" She smiled a little. (Don't ask me how she knew…okay…she got it from Jeanne and Pirika..)
Kino nodded. "I thank you in aiding my injured grandson last night…" she started.
Anna's eyes widened again. So it is. If Mikihisa was her son, and Yoh was her grandson. Then Yoh must be…
"Anna?" Kino asked raising her eyebrows.
"Kino-san, please, it was your grandson who first saved me." She bowed again.
Kino raised her eyebrows higher- if that were possible- "Really, now? Hmm...that's something new…"
They were interrupted when two people came through the door.
"Anna!"
Anna turned and saw Yoh.
"I'm glad you're better, Yoh." She said stiffly. She looked at Yoh. So he was the small boy from when she was young. He was the small boy who was so caring. He was…
"Anna?" Yoh asked with confusement. "A-Anna? You alright?"
"How could you, Yoh? You…you forgot all about our times together when we were young. You…the only person…who I ever gave my heart to …and twice…" As she thought this, she didn't realize tears were flowing down her cheek.
"Anna?" Yoh asked again, his hope drooping slightly. He did not like seeing people sad.
"What?" Anna snapped.
"Anna…you're crying." Yoh said.
"No I'm not." She answered coldly. "A little too cold…" she thought to herself.
"Yes you are," Yoh said with a smile. "But please don't."
Anna glared at him.
Beside them, the elder Asakuras looked at them with amusement in their eyes.
Yoh winced. "I know something is wrong, Anna, please tell me."
"How would you? How would you know? You're the one who caused it!" She sobbed (I know..very OCC) aloud as she screamed at Yoh.
"M-Me?" Yoh said cluelessly.
Anna couldn't bring herself to answer him. She couldn't. If it had been another boy, she would have said 'yes, what do you think?', but…"He seems…so hurt…how can I bear to hurt him so?"
Anna looked away. "Y…You've forgotten…all those times together…when we were little…" She said, now gaining back her coldness.
Yoh did not scream or kick or shout or cry like Anna thought he would. Normally, that's what other boys would do. But he didn't.
"I…I…" Yoh started.
"No…Anna you baka…how can you hurt him so? You yelled at him like he was the fault of everything…Look at him now..he sound so…hurt…so alone…"
Yoh hung his head slightly. "I'm sorry, Anna. Forgive me. I did not forget."
Anna turned to him with utterly perplexed.
"Yoh, I-"
"I did not forget, Anna…" He continued quietly, with a small forlorn smile.
Anna stared. For a moment, she thought he was going to yell at her. She turned away.
"Because…how could I?"
Anna turned around, only to find Yoh grinning sheepishly with a few tears sparkling in his eyes. "I…"
"I couldn't. When I first met you, I felt so happy. As if all the sorrow had disappeared from the world. It was the first time I had been so happy since…my brother…well… erm…" He shifted uncomfortably, but continued smiling.
Anna blinked.
Yoh sighed. "You must know by now, ne?" He smiled at Anna. "After Aniki changed…" Tears were beginning to form, "He tried to finish me, and then started targeting you. I couldn't let you die. I wouldn't. I wouldn't let you go through pain and sorrow in mere entertainment for Hao. I had to protect you. For that, I needed to finish off Hao. And for that, I needed to get stronger."
He paused and let out a deep sigh.
"Baasan sensed the danger in Hao too. She told me it was my task to finish him, and for that I was needing training. Normally," He added in a chuckle, "I would say I was too lazy, but I reminded myself of the people Hao would destroy if he were not to be stopped…"
The other Asakuras were in shock. They always wondered why Yoh had always agreed to the training Kino spent on him, even if he did complain. But they never knew that the reason would be…Anna…
Anna stood there, unmoving.
Yoh, who seemed to have been in a trance, talking like that earlier, blushed 20 shades of red. "Ah…ano….d…did you just um….hehe….hear all that I had…gulp…said? Cuz uh…I was just uh…thinking to myself…" He scratched the back of his neck.
Anna had tears in her eyes. So he didn't forget…no…not at all… "S-So….you didn't forget after all…" What a stupid statement. Of course he didn't, Anna you baka. She told herself.
Yoh calmed down a bit. He grinned sheepishly. "No. I didn't"
"I..sorry Yoh. I-I didn't mean to accuse you…" Anna blushed. "B-But I still don't understand…who are you really? What of your childhood? What of your past? Your family? Your task? You future?" She kept on throwing questions at him.
Yoh sighed. He opened his mouth to speak.
"It is time," Kino interrupted them. "for all to be revealed."
Yoh and Anna stared at Kino.
"Sit." She gestured to the tatami on the floor. (That IS what u call it right? The wooden carpet thingy in Japanese homes…I've only lived in Japan for one year)
Yoh and Anna obeyed.
They all sat around a table. Mikihisa with Keiko, Kino with Yohmei, and Yoh with Anna. Tamao stood at the door, still nervous.
"Come in dear, no need to be frightened. Perhaps you can help us. I sense an unusual aura of magic around you." She nodded towards the pink haired girl.
"Kino-san," Two more girls appeared at the door, bowing slightly.
Kino sighed. "Jeanne, Pirika, please take this young girl and show her around."
"Yes, Kino-san." They bowed and said in unison. They made a gesture towards Tamao, who hesitantly bowed towards Kino and left.
"Anna," Kino started.
Anna, who's attention had been diverted towards Tamao, Jeanne, and Pirika, now faced the elderly woman. "Hai, Kino-san?"
"Are you prepared to know the truth?" She asked quietly.
Anna nodded.
Kino gave a small nod towards Yoh, telling him to begin.
Yoh took a deep breath. "You probably already know a great fraction about it, Anna."
Ann gave another small nod. "Hao is your brother." She stated. It wasn't a question.
Yoh sweatdropped. "Er…yeah…"
Anna raised her eyebrows.
Yoh sighed. "It all began about ten years ago..." (Um…They are about 14…don't be picky…I'm not doing any math until I have to!)
FLASHBACK
It was two days since Hao returned back to the Asakura Palace.
But Yoh knew something was wrong.
"Oni-chan? Oni-chan?" He asked, shaking Hao's sleeve vigorously .He had tears in his eyes. His oni-chan was no longer the same…
"Oni-chan…please…don't do this…" Yoh begged while sobbing.
"Be quiet Yoh. These filthy humans were trashing this park. They were showing disrespect towards Mother Nature. And now, they must pay…" Hao said while smirking.
"W-We're sorry, dude! Look, we-"
"Silence!" Hao shouted, anger swelling up inside him. "Spirit of Fire!"
Yoh fell down as he saw the huge spirit blazing before him. Where did his Oni-Chan find it? Who was his Oni-Chan now?
"Oni-chan? Oni-chan! Oni-chan NO!" Yoh screamed, tears pouring out.
"Spirit of Fire, destroy them." Hao muttered, ignoring Yoh's pleading.
AARRGGH!
END FLASHBACK
Tears were flowing down Yoh's cheek. "Since then, Aniki began to change. He no longer cared nor loved. He only sought to destroy. We couldn't let him do that. I couldn't let him do that. Even if he was my brother, he must be stopped."
Anna did not speak.
"I tried to convince him. I tried to tell him revenge is not the way. He wouldn't. Aniki was already gone. Then he tried to kill me. And till today, I'm living in hiding."
"Yoh, I'm so sorry…I had no idea-"
Yoh shook his head. He smiled at Anna. "It's okay. Anyways, by the time I met you, Aniki was already changed. I was taking a walk to the library when I suddenly heard you scream. The guards were no use. None of them knew how to swim. Then I remembered Aniki's swimming lessons. We would go swimming at times on the beach."
All the Asakuras had their eyes on Yoh.
"After I saved you, I was amazed at er…how…" He blushed a crimson red, "prettyyourdresswas."
Anna couldn't help but smile a little. "You mean me or the dress?"
Yoh blushed even more. If that were possible. "Both. I mean-!" He turned purple.
Anna smirked. "It's okay. I know."
Yoh's color returned to him. "W-Well…anyways…it's been almost half a year since I had anyone to play with…and those times I spent with you, I always remembered." He stared at Anna for a moment, mesmerized by her beauty.
"And?" Anna asked raising an eyebrow.
Yoh blushed again. "Erm...then, one day, I heard Aniki talking with Tou-san."
FLASHBACK
"So, my dear father, you WILL have a little chat with your friend about her daughter and I, then?" Hao said with a smirk.
"I-…" Mikihisa started.
Hao raised his eyebrows. "Or maybe, we can work out something new?" Hao snapped his fingers. A giant spirit appeared.
Mikihisa stared, then hung his head. "N-No…I will talk to my friend about you and Anna-chan's engagement…"
"Good…"
END FLASHBACK
"I knew he targeted you for a long time, but I didn't know why, until that day."
Anna felt a lump in her throat. She felt guilty for yelling and screaming at him like that before.
"And so…I began to train…basically…that is it…and here we are now!" Yoh said, grinning stupidly. He stood up. "Baasan?"
Kino stood up. "Yes, leave, Yoh. We would like to have a few words with Anna."
Yoh bowed and left.
"Anna?" Kino asked.
"Hai Kino-san."
"Now you have heard our story. Will you help us? Or will you turn us in…"
"I will…"
OOO
OK…not much of cliffie…we all know answer right? Hehe…sorry I am behind…I've been busy…well! PLEASE R AND R!
