Chapter Five: Dreary Moments
"Hao! What do you think you're doing here!" Lyserg growled.
Hao's eyes narrowed piercingly and he turned his attention directly to Lyserg. He continued to speak softly, with an eerie air of a calm aloofness to him. "Tsk tsk… You obviously lack manners, Lyserg-kun, seeing how you're just a speck of a bug which I could simply turn into ashes."
Glaring hatefully at the new comer, Lyserg was ready to tear his head off and serve it on a silver platter.
Sensing the outcome of the meeting of the two shamans, Anna put a restraining hand on Lyserg's shoulder.
"Don't do anything rash Lyserg."
"Anna-san…" Lyserg meekly replied.
"Ehem… aren't you two just adorable?" Hao cackled. "Too bad that my otouto is unable to see this." He added while combing his slightly tousled hair through his fingers.
"Shut up Hao!" Lyserg's temper was at its limits.
Hao glanced over at the English man with a dignified air of indifference. "Better keep a watch over your new found lover, he's liable to get into more trouble than he can handle." Turning, his hair moved over the breezed, fluttering and landing back down the centre of his back, not a strand out of place. He didn't look back, just gaze a subtle hint of the eyes.
Lyserg just glared at Hao's back. If looks could kill, Hao would have been very dead.
The green haired shaman clenched his fists and swore under his breath. "Darn! Next time I see him, I'll make sure he's on his knees begging for mercy." He grinned manically at the thought.
Knock. Knock.
The door opened revealing Tamao, Horo Horo, Ren, Pirika, Ryu, Chocolove, Manta, and the rest of the gang, their faces full of concern and worry at the blonde itako.
"Anna-san! Are you alright? Does your wound still hurt?" Tamao practically ran beside Anna.
"I'm fine." she replied coldly. "I want to be alone."
"Bb-ut… An…Anna-san…" the shy fortune-teller protested.
"Leave at once."
Fearing that they would feel her wrath if they won't follow her, the Mankin gang (including Lyserg) silently left the room without any word.
Anna mentally sighed. She recalled Hao's words earlier.
Too bad that my otouto is unable to see this.
'Yoh… I wonder what will you do if you saw what happened earlier. Would you be jealous and feel hatred for Lyserg? Or would you just act like you've seen nothing?'
She half-smiled to herself.
"Who am I fooling? Yoh doesn't care about me at all." Pool of tears that was threatened to fall any minute gathered at her eyes. She didn't bother to brush it away. At this moment, she just wanted to let her emotions take over. Hoping that somehow, as the tears flowed from her deep black eyes, this would unleash the pain that has been locked away in her heart.
The pain that turned her heart into an unbreakable barrier of ice.
The pain that made her life more miserable than the way it already was.
The pain that is slowly eating her from the inside.
She continued to weep.
However, unbeknownst to her, Lyserg was intently watching her from a distance.
Anguish was evident on his angelic face.
The last thing he ever wished to see is to witness the most precious person in his life crying.
And what's worse is that she's crying over her worthless former fiancé.
Time seemed to fly in a glimpse.
As she wiped away the last teardrop from her eyes, she had somewhat accepted the fact that Asakura Yoh can never return the feelings she held for him. And she should finally move on.
And perhaps, this moment would be the final time she would shed her tears for the only person whom she thought that loved her.
The itako's eyes tired out gradually, causing her to drift into a deep slumber.
Out of his own will, the green-haired shaman entered the room. His delicate hands stroked Anna's blonde hair in a subtle manner.
"That moron doesn't deserve your love, leaving you for a complete whore. I'd make sure you'll forget that jerk Yoh Asakura… if that's the last thing I'd ever do." He softly whispered at her ear.
Lyserg gazed at the blonde's features. Then, he brought his mouth to meet the itako's lips in a gentle kiss. Not wanting to disrupt her tranquil sleep, he just lightly brushed his lips against Anna's.
Just as he was about to withdraw from the kiss, Anna's eyes snapped open, startling both of them.
