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

The Day Before the Wedding

I know…crappy title isn't it?

Anna sighed as she glanced over at the wedding dress Hao picked out for her. In another day, she would be Asakura Anna.

It was who she had always wanted to be. Ever since she had found out the young boy she loved was a prince.

Asakura Anna…

The words echoed in her mind.

"But Asakura HAO, Anna…" A voice interrupted her thoughts.

Anna frowned, ready to argue, but then just sighed. "Only if it was Yoh…"

"Well, he's probably heartbroken. You chose his brother over him."

"It was for the greater good. I cannot risk him dying. I could never forgive myself."

"The wedding is tomorrow. Tomorrow, you shall be forever Anna Hao Asakura. Are you willing to give up your whole life for one boy?"

"Yes…"

"Really?"

"Yeah. I love him. Him as in Yoh Asakura. I'll do anything for him. Even if it means giving my soul to the devil, in which this case would be Hao."

"Hmmm….interesting…"

"Yeah now shut up."

The conversation ended.

Even though it sounded as if Anna didn't mean what she said, she did.

OOO

"Yoh-sama?" Tamao peeked in.

No answer.

"Y-Yoh-sama? Are you here?" Tamao called again.

No answer.

"Oh no…please…Yoh-sama you didn't go out again did you? Oh…Kino-san is going to be angry…" Tamao muttered to herself.

She searched around the room until her eyes laid upon a peace of paper tacked to the wall.

It read:

Dear Baasan, Ji-san, Tou-san, and Kaa-san,

I know, today I skipped my training. But it was real nice out and I wanted to go for a walk. You know, talk to some friends, go into town. I think my friends might be mad at me for not talking to them for such a long time. I hope you're not angry. I'll be back in time for lunch. Later.

-Yoh

Tamao smiled. She deciphered the hidden message. In reality, he meant:

Dear Baasan, Ji-san, Tou-san, and Kaa-san,

I know, today I skipped my training. But I'm worried about Anna, and wanted to see if she was okay. You know, like talk to her, try to make her feel better. I haven't talked to her since our last meeting a month ago. I haven't seen her since either. I want to apologize, and hope she isn't angry. I'll be back in time for lunch. Later.

Tamao knew how much Anna loved Yoh, and how much Yoh loved Anna. She tucked the letter inside her jacket and left.

OOO

The young brunette sighed as he walked across the bridge in the garden. He really hoped Anna was alright.

After a few minutes or so, he arrived at a tree.

And under the tree sat a young lady.

OOO

"Leave me alone Tam."

"But Miss Anna!"

"I don't want to talk right now…"

Tamao was about to argue when she saw something glitter in the sunlight. A tear. "Anna…" She stopped when she sensed a presence.

"…"

Tamao nodded. "I'll leave you two then." She giggled a little as she left.

"Wait, what do you mean by-!" Anna called, but the pink haired girl already left, grinning broadly.

Anna sighed in frustration as she sat down under a tree.

Suddenly, a shadow loomed over her.

"Go away, whoever you are. I don't give a care of what you want or need. Leave me be." Anna mumbled through gritted teeth.

The figure winced a little at the harshness. "Anna…"

Anna lifted her head. She knew that voice.

"Yoh!" she cried. Tears began to form. It was painful, not seeing him. Half of her wanted to grasp him tightly, never letting go, and the other wanted to stay away from him at all costs.

"Anna…I'm sorry…" Yoh pulled her close.

"Yoh…you baka…" Anna sobbed while pounding fists against his chest.

Yoh embraced her tightly with both arms, receiving every one of her hits. "Cry it away Anna, let it out. I'm here. Do whatever you want. I deserve it."

Anna stopped pounding, and just sobbed harder. "I…"

"Shh…"

Anna shut her mouth and let the warmth of his heart carry her away.

Yoh smiled while closing his eyes…

Until Anna suddenly pulled away.

"Anna…?"

"I'm sorry, Yoh. I can't. I'm getting married tomorrow, and I intend on keeping it that way. Good bye." Then she left.

Yoh stared blankly, then he sighed and sat down as the wind lifted his bangs. Suddenly, the oracle bell rang.

Yoh looked down.

Tomorrow. Hao Asakura.

OOO

Anna kicked herself. Why was she so stupid? That moment was the best she had had in a long time…stupid…

She dropped onto her bed and fell asleep, not taking another glance at her wedding dress.

OOO

"Hao-sama…" A small African boy called.

"What is it?"

"Your Oracle Bell, sir…"

"Yeah?" He said a bit annoyed.

"The next Shaman Match…and the last…"

"Great, when is it?" Hao let out a exasperated sigh.

"Tomorrow." The boy, Opacho, looked down at the bell.

Hao frowned. "Tomorrow? But that's when…"

Opacho nodded.

Hao growled something under his breath. Then…"Great, I don't care. I'll battle after the wedding."

Then he stood up.

"But wait! Isn't HAo-sama curious of his opponent?"

Hao looked back sideways. "I don't. Whoever they are, they will be eliminated." Then he left.

Opacho sighed and shook his head. He looked down at the Oracle Bell. It was still flashing 'Tomorrow'.

Opacho sighed again and placed the oracle bell on the table, without taking a look at the second message.

OOO
