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 WEDDING VOWS ARE NOT MADE UP! So thus not mine…er….do u need a disclaimer for that? Oo…AND I DO NOT KNOW THE FULL LAYOUT OF WEDDING VOWS! So don't sue me for not knowing!
The Wedding
Funky eh?
(XD Yeah I know, I just love dissing myself for no reason...but sometimes I'm just plain stupid…like Yoh!OO…wait…that's not good…)
"NOO!" Yoh screamed as he burst through the doors of the great hall; only to find his brother had already claimed his bride…
Everyone turned to stare at the intruder.
But Yoh did not care. He was shaking mad. How could he? Anna was not an object!
"Yoh!" A voice called.
Yoh did not reply. His bangs covered his eyes. He grasped Harusame by the hilt. "AMIDAMARU!"
"Yoh-dono!" The voice called again.
From up front, Hao, whose expression had turned from shock to sly, attacked Yoh.
"Huh?" Yoh looked up; in time for Hao to stab him; right in the stomach.
"AAAHH!"
"YOH-DONO!"
"YOH-DONO! WAKE UP! HAIYAKU!" Amidamaru screamed at his lazy master.
Yoh sat up immediately ending his slumber. "GAH! I'm UP I'm UP! PLEASE DON'T HIT ME BAASAN!" He quickly screamed while ducking under the table at which he had fallen asleep on.
After about an minute or two, Yoh peeked up from his hiding place. "Geh? Amidamaru?"
Amidamaru, whose expression was like this, --, quickly recovered. "Yoh-dono…"
Yoh's eyes widened. OO. "Please, Amidamaru…no…" He begged like a little puppy.
Amidamaru sighed. He closed his eyes and began his lecture. "Those who do not put effort shall never succeed. Those who give it their all never fail." (OO…something I made up…if it IS a real quote…whoa…OO…DEJA VUE!)
Yoh sighed. "Yes Amidamaru…I know…I was just…um…"
Amidamaru raised his eyebrows. "Just what?"
Yoh scratched his head nervously. "Um…resting…my…eyes?"
A loud CRASH was all to be heard miles away…; and some loud screaming following after that…
10 minutes later…
"Yoh-dono…" Amidamaru gave a serious look.
"…"
"YOh!"
"Yeah Amidamaru?" Yoh stared out the window, frowning, barely listening to what the samurai was saying.
Amidamaru frowned too. "Yoh-dono, what are you-?"
Yoh gave a sudden jerk and in a split second he was in the bathroom.
"Yoh?" Amidamaru looked confused. "Yoh, if you really needed to go THAT badly-"
Another second later, Yoh came out, smiling.
(I'm gonna use the clothes ppl wear here in the US -)
He was dressed in a long black tuxedo. His outer coat open, but his inside shirt buttoned up. The only things that remained the same were his headphones, and his bathroom sandals. In his hands were Harusame and the antiquity…(w/e that is called)
"Ready to go Amidamaru?" He beamed.
"Y-Yes…" He stuttered.
Yoh gave a small nod. But his expression became serious as he opened the door.
"Yoh-dono?"
Yoh looked over his shoulder and smiled at his samurai ghost. "Let's go."
OOO
Anna looked around nervously. All these people were expecting her him. She looked over to the direction of the doors in which she shall soon enter. Inside, she can already hear voices.
Anna bit her lip. She was shaking with fury. How much she hated him. Hao Asakura.
"A-Anna?" Tamao peeked in nervously.
Anna's head jerked, causing Tamao to flinch. Her frown quickly turned into a cold and blank expression. "Yeah Tam?"
"M-Miss Anna, I just want you to know…" Tamao was trembling. Anna frowned. She knew Tamao had been doing some hard thinking coming up with a decision on something.
"What?"
Tamao gulped and continued. "M-Miss Anna. You've been my friend when no one else would…and…you've been like an older sister to me…technically it was I taking care of you…but in reality…you were always there for me…"
Anna shook her head and smiled very subtly. "Tam, you've been there for me too. Or have you not noticed?"
Tamao shook her head. "M-Miss Anna, if you d-didn't convince your father to let me stay when I first arrived, wh-who knows where I would b-be!"
"Tam, you're strong. No matter where you end up, you'll be just fine."
"Anna…I want to return the favor…" Tamao stopped trembling and looked serious.
Anna walked closer suspiciously. "And in what way…?"
Tamao didn't' answer for a moment. Then, "Anna," She smiled sadly, "Run away, and I'll take your place…"
Anna's eyes widened. "NO! He'll find out and kill you! What good will that do?"
Tamao smiled. "I don't care. By the time he finds out, you'll be long gone. Then, Miss Anna, you're free…"
"Free…" These words echoed deeply in Anna's mind. "But not Tammy…" Anna shook her head. "No. I won't allow it. I will not sacrifice my only true friend. I've told you before."
Tamao sighed and giggled.
Anna frowned. "What?"
"Don't think I don't know about you and Yoh-sama…"
"What do you mean?" Anna asked in a dangerous tone.
Tamao shook her head and sighed. "You love him, Anna."
"And if I do?" Anna raised her eyebrows.
"Run away, and live the rest of your life with him…"
"Not without you, Tammy. Not without you." Anna stated simply.
Tamao began to cry. "Anna! I-I've always been in your debt…can't you allow me to repay you once!"
Anna hugged Tamao before answering. "You already have. By giving me your friendship. And thank you, Tamao, but I have a feeling…that things may not be what they appear to be..maybe…just maybe…" Anna's thoughts trailed off. "Maybe Yoh will defeat Hao.."
"Wh-What? Miss-Anna?"
"Lady Anna? It is time." Another voice called.
Tamao's head shot towards the voice.
Anna took a step forward.
Tamao grabbed her. "Anna, no!"
"Let me go, Tammy." Anna said in a hollow voice.
Tamao got scared and let go immediately. "Why?"
"I believe…just this once...that everything will work out fine…" She smiled softly as she walked out the room…and towards her future…whatever it may hold.
OOO
Yoh breathed heavily as he nearly reached the main hall. He had been running all the way from the west side of the palace to the east side, which was very far.
"Lord Yoh? Maybe you should-" Amidamaru materialized and called out worriedly.
Yoh fought a strained smile. "No. We have to get there...before...Hao…claims… Anna.."
"But-"
Yoh chuckled a little. "No worries, Amidamaru. We're..almost…there now…"
OOO
Anna's heart was beating wildly now. She glanced around nervously. She could hear the wedding march playing now. Any moment now, and she would enter through the doors.
"Lady Anna?" A servant called. He nodded towards the doors, signaling for her to begin.
Anna nodded nervously. She closed her eyes as the doors opened…and as she began to walk down the aisle…to face her fate…
OOO
About a quarter of a mile outside away from the main hall where the wedding took place, the young brunette collapsed against a tree.
"YOh-dono!"
"Whew!" Yoh forced a smile. "I'm fine, Amidamaru. Just a little tired, that's all." He grinned at the thought of what his grandmother would do to him if he called this tired.
After a few seconds or so, he got up, and began running again.
OOO
Anna glanced around at the crowd, but making sure not to move her head. She glanced amongst the faces, but there was no sign of Yoh. A tear began to trickle down as she realized what the rest of her life may be: torture.
Beside her, Tamao held her tight. "Miss Anna, stay strong…don't give up…" She leaned over and whispered.
Upon hearing her friend's voice, Anna loosened a little. She started to smile sadly.
But her smile soon turned to fear and dread as she neared the front; where she was to be forever bonded with a man she never loved: Hao Asakura.
Hao smirked as he saw Anna approaching. How beautiful she was. She was wearing a long white silky dress, just enough to reveal her slim figure, and the end dragging elegantly along the aisle behind her. The sleeves of her dress were see-through and draping down her arms. Oh her head, she wore a veil, and in her hands, she held a bouquet of roses; all in Hao's choices. (That's the American wedding dress! Hey..even thought I'm asian, I really don't know how the asian wedding outfits are…OO)
The supposedly happy wedding march seemed like a dreadful sad funeral song to Anna.
"Please let a miracle happen…" Anna pleaded, but to no avail. She closed her eyes as she reached the front, and the song stopped.
The priest, who was in fact the palace servant Jeanne, cleared her throat and began her speech.
Hao stared, smirking at his bride.
Anna ignored Hao's stares and the priest's words. "Soon…you will forever be bound to him…" a voice called in her head. Soon…your life will be living hell…" "Soon…"
Anna ignored this as well, and opened her eyes in time to hear Jeanne say, "Hao Asakura, do you take Anna Kyouyama to be your wedded wife, to live together after God's ordinance in holy matrimony? Do you promise to love her, to honor and cherish her, in joy and in sorrow, in sickness and in health, and to be to her in all things a good and faithful husband as long as you both shall live?"
There was a hint of hatred and dread behind these words.
Hao smirked. "I do."
Anna could feel hatred burning up. "LIAR!" Her head was screaming. She could feel hot tears staining her cheek. Jeanne frowned and tightened her hold on the book of vows. She hated Hao for taking God's name as a joke. (I am not religious, but I do respect all religions. And am very serious about it.)
Jeanne then turned to Anna. "Anna Kyouyama, do you take Hao Asakura to be your wedded husband, to live together after God's ordinance in holy matrimony? Do you promise to love him, to honor and cherish him, in joy and in sorrow, in sickness and in health, and to be to him in all things a good and faithful wife as long as you both shall live?"
Jeanne watched Ana intently, not once blinking.
There was a long dreaded silence. People began to murmer. Jeanne looked at Anna from the corner of her eye.
Hao frowned. "If you do not say yes, my dear, do remember my warning…" He mentally told her.
This gave Anna a sudden jolt. She faced Jeanne. "I…I…I-I do…" She finally choked.
Jeanne, gave her one last look of sympathy before continuing.
She turned to face Hao again. "Then repeat after me. I, Hao Asakura, take thee Anna Kyouyama, to be my lawfully wedded wife, and promise before these witnesses, to be thy loving and faithful husband in plenty and want, in joy and sorrow, in sickness and in health, till death do us part.
Hao repeated what she had said. Smirking while doing so, which only angered Jeanne and Anna even more.
Jeanne by now was furious. But she had to continue. She faced Anna. "Repeat after me: I, Anna Kyouyama, take thee Hao Asakura, to be my lawfully wedded husband, and promise before these witnesses, to be thy loving and faithful wife in plenty and want, in joy and sorrow, in sickness and in health, till death do us part."
Everyone had their eyes on Anna.
Anna swallowed her anger. And repeated what Jeanne said.
"If there are-" She began, but Hao cut her off. "We no longer need to ask for objections. There aren't any. I'll make sure of it…"
Jeanne frowned. "It is part of the vows, master," She added sarcastically, "Besides, what harm will it do?"
Hao clenched his fist. "Do as I say. I want to get this over with!"
Jeanne flinched. People began to murmer again.
Jeanne cleared her throat. Anna closed her eyes again. "Then by the powers invested in me by the Asakura Court," She slowly said, her words drawn out. She paused, looking up. "I pronounce you, husband and-"
"STOP!" Someone burst through the two doors, shouting.
OOO
