REPOSTED THIS CHAPTER! There has been a misunderstanding...ppl think Yoh rose back from the grave...well...that's not the case, I don't make dead ppl arise from the grave...XD...that would be funny..but I think those kind of things are a bit old and spoiled...read it again, sorry I didn't make it clear...I wasn't thinking right. I secretly typed this chappie during my SAT break...--...while all those algebraic numbers were still swirling in my head...
DON'T CARE IF THIS COUNTS AS REPLYING TO REVIEWS, THEY PRBLY GOT RID OF THE RULE BY NOW, AND EVEN IF IT ISN'T, I DON'T CARE.
To Rebel Rose, ashiteru means 'I love you' in Japanese. T-T…sniff…. Yeah…I like the way it sounds…ashiteru….hmm….interesting… (Blinks and sees the word 'ashiteru' underlined in red lines on her computer.) STUPID MICROSOFT WORDS! ASHITERU IS A WORD YOU HEAR! (Clicks on add to dictionary). No, words is not stupid, it's brillitant!
To nerd witch: -. Thnx for telling me! Yeah I should've made it longer…--…if I wasn't so lazy and short on time…and of course you're welcome here! I'm glad you're not mad and actually want to read this…so many thnx! -. Hope school isn't drowning you! And still hoping for an update! XD
To pendulumxswing: Yeah, it should be longer…if I wasn't so lazy and out of time…--…XD
To darkslayer21: Don't worry, I totally understand why you criticized me. I know I totally blew this one…I didn't really exactly know it was that bad until someone told me…and well by then, I had half of my story done. The only thing was, he/she threw a complete awful fit. I used like…one sentence from her fic, still gave her credit, (Yeah I know, even that is bad…), but she criticized me on EVERYTHING. On my writing skills (I know I'm not that good), grammar, spelling…So yeah I'm not mad at you for saying that, I figure I HAVE been doing all that stuff…--…but I do have three other fics if you want to see! -
AND THANK YOU TO ALL YOU OTHER PEEPS WHO REVIEWED! So kind! Sniff…yeah I'm sorry I take so long! I have volleyball, school, art, science fair, play, speech/drama tournament, and all those things….
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT own Shaman King. If I did, well, I wouldn't spend my time on FanFiction would I? Nooo, I'd be creating more episodes of it! (I do wish there were more episodes of it though…T-T)
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
Um…
Previously…
Suddenly, Yoh let out a weak and straining cough, blood spluttered out from his mouth, and he collapsed onto the ground.
"YOH!" Anna screamed in horror, she ran to him and broke down crying.
Anna placed Yoh's head in her lap. "Y-Yoh…"Tears clouding her vision.
Yoh smiled weakly. "G-Gomen, Anna…I-I guess…I wasn't s-strong enough…I'm sorry, Anna…I wasn't able to…f-fulfill my promise…" He coughed some more.
Anna stared on, tears falling. "No..no…you can't leave me like this!"
Yoh closed his eyes and continued smiling. "S-Stay strong, Anna…d-don't let Hao take control…of you…"
Anna shook her head continuously. "W-Why?" She choked.
Yoh opened his eyes. "Ashiteru, Anna…and…goodbye…"
"A-Ashiteru, Yoh…" She mumbled, silent tears still falling.
Yoh nodded. He closed his eyes…and then he was…
Gone.
OOO
Anna sat there in shock. She continued staring at Yoh…her Yoh…the young boy who had been her only friend apart from Tamao for so long…the young man who was so brave and always thought of her before himself…the one person…whom she had loved…more than life itself…
And now he was gone.
The hall was silent. Everyone was staring at either Yoh, Anna, or Hao. Mikihisa comforted Keiko, who was sobbing hard. Kino and Yohmei both stared on with sorrow, lost in their thoughts.
Hao slowly turned around, and started walking towards Anna. He reached Anna, and stopped.
Anna did not look up, but from the corner of her eye, she could see the lego boots Hao wore. She was too lost in her mind to thing, to act.
"There is no use in sulking over my dead brother, dear." Hao muttered softly.
Anna's head shot up, and she glared at him with pure rage and fury. There was only one thing on her mind: Revenge.
Hao saw this and smirked. "He is dead. Doesn't that prove anything? That I am superior, and he, inferior. I am now Shaman King. And you, Anna, are now my Shaman Queen."
Anna slowly got up. Shaking as she did so. "Hao…you are going to experience hell beyond hell, pain beyond pain, and torture beyond imagination…" She took out, from under her wedding dress, a knife.
Everyone started screaming and panicking. Many started running in various directions.
Hao rolled his eyes. "Please…do you think you can kill me with a small blade? Yoh couldn't kill me with his full power, do you think YOU can? Kill me, Asakura Hao!"
Anna trembled with tears, but she did not let go of the blade. "Hao….you will pay!" She slashed the knife across his chest….
But Hao ducked.
He jumped up into the air, and when he came down he grabbed Anna's wrist.
Anna struggled to get free. "Let me GO!" She shrieked.
Hao pulled her close. "Only if you promise to become my queen, dear…"
Anna froze for a moment, but then continued struggling. "NEVER!"
Hao frowned slightly. "As you wish…"
Anna stopped and looked at him with confusement.
Hao squeezed Anna's wrist hard, causing her to scream in pain. "But the only way to do that…is to die…"
"Let me GO!"
Hao sighed and twisted her arm backwards, causing the knife to fly loose and land on the floor nearby, and Anna to scream in pain again.
Anna collapsed on the ground and Hao let go of her wrist. He walked over to the knife and picked it up. He stared at it for a moment, and looked over his shoulder at Anna.
"Pity…such a beautiful thing…must come to such an end…but of course, you, Anna dear, live only to kill. Like this blade. Untouchable, I see…and cold. A person like you, Anna, can never learn to love…or be loved…did you really think my brother loved you? Did you really think YOU loved him? There is no such thing as love, or friendship, Anna. That is the world's weakness. That is what humans possess that weakens them. In reality…there is only power….everything is power….and power is everything…"
He walked towards Anna. "Join me, Anna. Be my shaman queen, and together, we will make sure the world is cleansed of filthy lowly humans. We can do that. I can give you power. I can give you everything."
Anna shook her head slowly, clutching her arm. "You're wrong…you're wrong…"
Hao frowned . "How am I wrong, dear?" He tightened the grasp on the knife.
Anna continued shaking her head. "You're wrong…power…isn't everything…there is something far stronger…far greater…that is everything…"
Hao growled. "Really! And what would that be!"
Anna looked up with soft eyes. "Love and friendship."
"Love and friendship was the end of my brother! You saw it yourself! IT WAS HIS WEAKNESS! IT WAS WHAT MADE HIM WEAK AND LOST!"
Anna frowned, shaking her head. "Love and friendship did not make Yoh weak, it made him strong. It opened his heart, and allowed him to have what you could never get, Hao…"
Hao growled menacingly and slashed the knife across Anna's face.
Anna did not wince, or move an inch. Blood stung her cheek. Luckily, Hao had only caught her with the tip of the blade.
"Looks like you are no different from my brother and the others…I thought wrong of you…you are the same…" Hao muttered quietly.
Anna stared at him in the eyes. "As are you." She at last, felt the last of her strength slipping away, and as her eyes began to cloud.
Hao's eyes widened at this. He started to mutter something. "Spirit of Fire…"
Anna suddenly felt pain beyond sense, beyond life itself could withhold…and she felt herself…becoming embraced by the light…
"Looks like I'll be meeting you soon, Yoh…" Anna smiled softly and closed her eyes.
OOO
I really pondered on ending this chappie here…don't worry, it won't be a complete tragedy…(smirks evilly)
OOO
Anna blinked a few times, squinting through the light, trying to see something, but to no avail.
After a few minutes, everything cleared. The light faded.
Anna stared in awe and shock. She gasped. It was a marvelous sight. Beneath her feet were the clouds, and above her stretched the endless skies. Trees and lakes were scattered here and there; it was a world of perfection beyond imagination.
"It's great here, isn't it?" A voice came up from behind her.
Anna whirled around. Her heart gave a jolt. "Yoh!"
Yoh looked at her with a sad smile.
Anna reached out for him, only to find her hand pass right though him. She gasped and pulled back.
Yoh sighed. "Heaven is a great place…but it still isn't complete…not without the people you love…"
"But…I'm here Yoh…I-" Anna started slowly.
Yoh shook his head slowly. "Anna, you're not dead. You may be unconscious to a point where your very own heart and soul has reached the gates of heaven, but it's all an illusion…you're not dead…"
"But…"
Yoh placed his hand on what seemed like an invisible wall. Anna gasped again. In the light, there was a huge glass. In between her and Yoh.
"See? You're not dead, Anna. You're journey is not over." Yoh smiled.
Anna pressed her hands against the glass. "Neither is yours!" She screamed. She didn't want to believe…that he…was…dead…
Yoh softened his eyes. "Go back, Anna, and stay strong…death may be the easiest way…but it is the most regretful way..." Yoh began to back away slowly, with a sad smile on his face.
Anna frowned. "Asakura Yoh, don't you dare!" She choked through tears, but the light was pulling her back…
"Goodbye…" Yoh whispered softly as he watched Anna slowly fade away…a tear trickling down his cheek.
OOO
Anna collapsed on the ground and started pounding the ground. She hated Hao for this…why did he bring her so close to death…to see heaven. Only to bring her back to hell? To torture her?
OOO
Yoh sighed and began to walk away. He stopped when he sensed a light aura behind him. "Anna?" He turned around, only to meet up with a bright light. Yoh shielded his eyes. "Who are you?"
"Asakura Yoh…" The voice called soothingly.
Yoh blinked, trying to peer past the blinding light, but nothing.
"You have one final task…before you can rest for eternity…"
"What?"
"Your will, spirit, and heart is amazing. For that, the Great Spirits have offered you a second chance…to help mankind…"The voice replied.
Yoh's eyes widened. "A second chance?"
Although he could not see, he could feel the spirit nodding. "But with such a chance comes a sacrifice." The voice called warningly.
Yoh sighed. "Doesn't everything? So what is it?"
"After this task is done, you must return to the spirit worls, and may never set foot in the world of humans again. You cannot ever communicate with humans any more. Spirits in heaven usually, when called on by itakos, can still venture through the world of humans…but this…you will never be once again, reborn…never be able to reincarnate...you will, by accepting this second chance, agree to lock yourself in this place forever…for eternity..."
Yoh thought deeply about this…then nodded.
"There is another great sacrifice to this…"
Yoh frowned. "And that would be…?"
"Your loved one shall never remember you again, but you will. You will be set there, day by day, thinking of your friends and family…but they will have forgotten you. Nothing can be more painful than this…and remember that this is for eternity. Do you truly wish to do this? You have nothing to gain, and everything to lose." The voice asked amusingly.
Yoh nodded. "If it's for creating a better world for many more, than one sacrifice is not much….I will do it….I accept…"
"Very well…" With this, light surrounded him, and he felt himself slip away back into the human world…one…last…time…
OOO
Rather funky, eh? XD…anywayz…I promise it won't be a total tragedy…
