Anna woke up with a dull headache. When she first regained conscious, she noticed that instead of hard ground or dirt, she was sleeping on a mattress, in a real bed. Then she realized that she was warm instead of cold, which is what happens when she usually wakes up. When Anna opened her eyes, she was in a huge room. A huge master bedroom with everything. She also noticed that it was around ten in the morning judging from the sun. Her usual black dress was on and her beads were still on too. Her pack was on a chair besides the bed. Anna didn't know where she was. Last thing she remembered was that she was in front of a huge manor. The manor of Yoh's. As Anna looked around, the furniture was the latest and most expensive. Wow, looks like Yoh is living the good life.

"Hello, I see you woke up," said a old, yet kind woman from the door.

Anna just nodded her head with the same emotionless expression on her face.

"Well you seem to have passed out in front of our manor. We didn't have a spare bedroom but Master Yoh was kind enough to give you his personal bedroom," said the old woman again trying to make conversation or at least get a smile on the girl's face.

Anna just nodded without showing anything. So this is Yoh's bedroom. Well it wasn't like she expected the shaman king to sleep on the futon in a creaky old inn.

"My name is Yami and I'm the head of house here. I'm sure you would like something to eat so follow me to the kitchen," said Yami as she walked out of the door.

Anna just followed her without saying anything. The manor was even bigger in the inside with twists and turns and weird hallways. Anna also noticed a great amount of ghosts but she took no notice to them. When the got to the kitchen, the kind old woman named Yami gave Anna a bowl full of soup. Anna gratefully drank down the soup filled with meat and vegetables. It was good.

"Would you like another bowl?" asked Yami after seeing the girl finish the bowl of soup.

Anna just shook her head and put the bowl in the sink where she started washing it.

"Oh dear, no need for that. We have servants here to do that," said Yami after seeing the girl wash the dishes.

"Its quite alright," said Anna.

Wow, so the girl does have a voice, thought Yami.

Anna read what Yami thought and found it amusing. Of course, none of this showed on her face as she washed and dried the bowl.

"Well can you tell me your name and what you were doing in front of our house?"

"I would like to see the shaman king please. I have business to discuss with him," said Anna briskly, not bothering to tell the old woman what her name is.

"Well than you have to wait. He should be coming home from training soon," said Yami, not liking the girl's tone of voice.

"Then I'll wait, but can I wait somewhere else," said Anna, not liking the atmosphere in the room.

"Fine, follow me."

Anna followed the old woman to the main hall where there were couches and tables filled with fruits and candy.

"You can wait here for the shaman king. He'll be back soon," said Yami and thankfully left the girl. The weird girl gave her creeps that years living in a house with ghosts never gave her.

Anna knew that the housekeeper didn't like her. Oh well, its not like she was going to be here long. She just needed a minute of Yoh's time and then if he agreed she was gone. She had enough money to buy it and it was her dream in the first place, before she left. She would maybe see the others and then she was gone. She would be out of their lives because she knew they didn't want her back. As Anna looked through her pack to find her money, the door opened and in stepped Yoh.
