The whiteness of the hospital walls seemed gloomy and blank. The pitter-patter of the rain on the windows added to the gloominess and bleakness of the day. The clock on the white walls struck two am. The only people in the hospital waiting room were a few teenager kids, all who seemed to have cried. Tamao shifted her weight on the plastic blue seats. It was a difference from the white walls but it only added more discomfort and gloominess. They had been waiting there for four hours since they heard the news that Anna was hit by a car. Tamao still remembered that phone call from the hospital. She was the only one in the house who wasn't in bed already or wasn't eating. When she heard that it was the hospital and that Anna was there, she dropped the phone and almost fainted if it wasn't for Pilica who was right next to her. She remembered the drive to the hospital. Yoh didn't speak the whole way there. Neither did anyone else. Aya looked so guilty as if it was her fault. The doctor said that Anna was in surgery and they waited there for about four hours now, not getting a result. Tamao's own eyes were red from crying. She took her eyes off of the equally white floor and stared at the friends who have gathered around.

Pilica was sitting on the ground, her head in her eyes. There was no sound coming from her but Tamao knew she was awake. Horohoro and Ren were pacing in the hospital, just walking back and forth. Manta said on a plastic seat, his feat dangling and looking into his laptop for a cure while trying to not cry but Tamao saw the tears welling up in his eyes. Jun sat on a similar plastic seat and she didn't say anything but she was crying hard, not making a sound at all. Ryu was leaning against the hospital's white walls, just staring and probably thinking of Anna. He had cried for the last hour and his eyes were red and puffy. Hao was just standing there, staring at the white walls and not making a sound. The usual laughter and teasing was gone as he stared, sometimes punching the wall for a minute or two and then returning to his staring. Aya sat in the plastic chair, staring at the floor in guilt as if everything was her fault although Tamao told her about a million times it wasn't. Lyserg and Jeanne were both praying to some god for Anna, whispering quietly in prayer.

Yoh was probably the worst off, sitting there and just staring off into space. His eyes were blank and it scared Tamao the most because she has never seen his eyes blank like that, lifeless almost. His body was saggy and he looked so much older than an eighteen-year-old kid. He liked like an adult, like the shaman king, with the weight of the world on his shoulders. He looked like a lifeless corpse and his eyes didn't have the usual laughter in them. Tamao was worried about Yoh the most. He never looked like that. It was so weird seeing him like that that she wanted to just hug him and tell him Anna will be all right. Instead, she walked up to him.

"Yoh….Are you alright?" Yoh stared up at her from the sound of her voice and looked at her as if in a dream. Tamao knew he wasn't looking at her but at Anna. "Are you hungry?" she asked again but no response as he stared blankly. It almost freaked her out and made her want to run far away. Finally, she gathered the courage to say, "I'm going to the cafeteria to get something." Then she ran off, tears at her eyes. Jun followed her out.

Yoh didn't hear or see any of this. He was lost in his thoughts and memories.

"Come on Yoh. Please come on the ride with me," begged Anna for probably the first time in her life. It was just after the shaman tournament and the whole gang decided to go to the amusement park to celebrate. Anna was in such a happy mood. Yoh remembered that on that day, she really wanted him to ride the roller coaster with her but he refused.

Yoh laughed at her and shook his head. Then, Anna begged him and pouted for probably the first time and Yoh laughed some more.

"Why don't you go on alone?" he had asked her. "Don't tell me the famous Anna is afraid." He was teasing her and she knew it. She wasn't afraid of anything.

"Please Yoh. Come with me," she begged one last time with her pouting lips and her eyes and Yoh consented.

They got on the ride and Yoh still remember Anna clinging to his arm as they flew downwards. He could never forget that feeling. She clung to his arm and screamed with delight. When they got off, he remembered she was laughing and smiling and begging him to go again. It was the first time he remembered that she ever laughed. Later that day, they took a walk down the beach, just the two of them and he risked putting an arm around her shoulder after he saw she shiver. He expected her to slap him away but she didn't and nuzzled into his warm jacket. And they walked around the beach liked that for a long time, while watching the sunset, neither of them spoke, as if enjoying the silence.

Yoh looked around the white room, expecting Anna to be there to slap him or to order him to do fifty laps or…to hug him. She wasn't there.

Yoh remembered the first time he met her and her fearsome growl. He remembered the first time they hugged and how soft and fragile her body was. He remembered the first time she ordered him on his boot camp training from hell. He remembered the first time she kissed him and the time she gave her food to him after training. The memories flowed through Yoh as he remembered every little thing about her: the way she dressed with her black dress everyday, her beads, her bandana, her blond hair flowing and her favorite songs. He remembered her favorite perfume and her favorite food that he cooked for her. All he had were memories of Anna, every memory raced through his head of Anna and the way she would scare a ten year old into crying.

Yoh stared at the white walls but he didn't see them. He remembered the first time he found she was gone.

It was early in the morning. It was just after Anna's birthday and they had a huge party last night. Horohoro got drunk on soda and tried to beat Ren in a fight, which ended in Tamao using the fire extinguisher to put out the fire on the couch. Yoh remembered that during the party, Anna smiled and danced and laughed with her friends. All their problems were behind them and they were celebrating not only Anna but also their friendships and how much they have come so far.

It was eight in the morning and Yoh was wondering why Anna hadn't wakened him up yet for his training. She still kept him on training, even though the shaman tournament was over. He was suspicious at first because Anna always wakes him up if he was late. He thought then that Anna was probably sleeping late because of last night's party. So he took the chance and slept until ten. When he woke up, he got really suspicious. S, he put on his clothes and quietly crawled into Anna's room. When he entered, he saw that the floor was made she wasn't in it. Confused, Yoh searched the whole inn for her but she wasn't there. Getting scared, he went into her room to look for a note to see where she has gone. Opening her wardrobe, he gasped in surprise. All of her clothes were gone. Everything she owned was nowhere in sight.

Looking frantically around her room, Yoh found nothing of hers there. He sat on the floor, now scared. Then, he saw that on her desk was a note, pinned down by a box. Taking that box off the note he read it. It bore a single word, Goodbye. Opening the box, he saw the cherry blossom necklace that he had given her last night for her birthday. It was a light silver chain and on the bottom of it was a pendent, a delicate cherry blossom made of fine glass. Yoh remembered that Anna was so happy about the gift and hugged Yoh after for giving it to her, yet, she was gone.

Yoh cried for the rest of that day with his friends. They knew she left on her own although Ren thought they should have a search party but Yoh refused. He didn't see anyone for the next month and didn't even come out of the inn for a month. He just stayed there, eating nothing until Tamao finally came in, seeing how skinny and frail he was and started making him eat. In around two years, he got over it and made himself forget about Anna.

Yoh put reached into his shirt as he looked at the white wall. He pulled a chain out. There, on that silver chain was a cherry blossom, made of fine glass, the same exact one he had given Anna for her birthday. He smelled it. It was still sweet, just like Anna. The glass was cold on the outside, beautiful but cold. On the inside, it was still as sweet and fragile. Yoh cupped the cherry blossom in his hand and wished to the Great Spirit that Anna will not die. Taking the cherry blossom and holding it fragilely as if it was Anna, he stared at it, remembering.

Tamao sat in the cafeteria with Jun sitting across her. Both were remembering Anna over a cup of coffee. Tamao remembered the first time she ever saw Anna. They were both around six or seven. Tamao had just arrived at the Asakuras, scared and alone. Even though Anna didn't calm her fears, she was a friend and someone Tamao came to trust, even if she was cold.

"Tamao…I think we should be getting back to the waiting room. Surgery should be over," said Jun, finishing her coffee. Tamao nodded and both returned to the waiting room.

When they got there, it was still the same mood, everybody somber and quiet. Yoh wasn't staring at the walls anymore but at something in his hand. Tamao didn't bother to ask and just sat down. No more than a minute after sitting, she stood up again as the doctor came out. Everybody wiped their tears and hurried towards him.

"Which one of you is her family?" he asked to the crowd.

Nobody there was actually her family and everybody was about to say no one when Yoh spoke up.

"I am. Is she ok though?" he asked, the life coming back to him. He was still holding something in his hand though.

"She survived the surgery but we cant be sure if it helped or not. She's still in critical condition," then the doctor stopped talking and had a weird look on his face. Everyone grew worried and stared at the doctor more, afraid. "Well we have to wait to see if it helped so you shouldn't worry….but to tell you guys, there isn't much of a big chance she'll survive that crash. Her head is bleeding on the inside and although we stopped that with the surgery, we just don't know. You may visit her if you want," he said and excused himself.

Everybody went in, one at a time. They all took a few minutes to talk and look at Anna and then stepped out, with tears in their eyes. Even Aya went in to talk to Anna for a few minutes. The last to enter was Yoh. The room Anna in was blue, a change from the white walls. Her eyes were closed and her face was so pail that Yoh almost thought she was dead. She was linked to many machines and things ran down her arm and face. Yoh half wanted to pull off those wires because they made Anna look so inhuman. Taking a seat next to the bed, he looked her over. She was in a white hospital gown and it was weird seeing her without her usual black. She looked so frail and weak that Yoh wanted to take her into his arms.

"Hey Anna," his voice was wobbly and cracking as if tears were coming but he held them back. "I've been thinking about you all night now. Come back to us. Please. Come back. I beg of you. We all miss you, even Aya. We all want you back with us. I'm so sorry Anna, for everything. Its all my fault." His voice cracked more and stopped. Then taking a deep breath, he continued.

"Remember that time after the shaman tournament and you wanted me to ride the roller coaster with you. You were begging and everything. Well I'm begging here. Please come back. We all need you, the inn needs you, and most of all, I need you. Please come back."

Taking off the necklace, he placed it on Anna.

"This was the necklace I gave you for your birthday, before you left. Now that your back, its yours again. I've been keeping it safe for you. I love you Anna. I love you more than anything," now, tears were running down his cheek but he didn't notice or brush them away. He held her hand and warmed her cold hand with his. Then, all of a sudden, her body twitched and jumped up.

"DOCTOR!" Yoh screamed as he still held Anna's hand. The doctor came through the door along with his friends. Everybody cried or covered their mouth as they watched Anna and the doctor. He quickly looked at the monitors and grabbed the paddles. Yoh let go of Anna's hand as the doctor electrocuted her to get her heart moving, but the heart monitor remained a straight line. Finally, the doctor shook his head.

Everybody in the room was in stunned silence. Tamao had her hand over her mouth as tears flowed down her cheek. She couldn't talk and she just watched Anna's body. Tears flowed down and she couldn't help sobbing. Yoh stood on her bedside, looking at Anna with tears in his eyes. Holding her hand, he whispered so only she would hear, "Don't go Anna. Please don't go."

But she was gone.
