"Anna are you done yet?"asked Yoh as he looked at his watch.
He had been waiting at the bottom of the stairs for over 30 minutes and there was still no sign of Anna coming out of her room anytime soon.
"I'll be out in a minute Yoh!!!"Said Anna as she was standing in front of her mirror putting on 2 magnificant sapphire earrings.
God he's been asking me that every 5 minutes,she thought. He can be such a pain in the butt sometimes but even so that doesn't stop me from falling in lo.....Wait a second.Did I almost say that I was falling in L-O-V-E with Yoh?Thats impossible!We're only going out to get to know each other better before we get married.And we're only getting married because we were arranged to when we were very young.It has nothing to do with love.But if it has nothing to do with love,then why am I so anxious to go on our date?
Anna looked at herself in the mirror and saw the excitment in her eyes and the blush that had appeared on her face.
Look at me.It's pretty obvious how I feel. But I can't have Yoh see me like this.I just wouldn't be able to take it if I were forced to tell Yoh how I felt about him just to hear him turn me down.No.
Anna's blushy facial expression changed to a more determined look.
No.I won't tell Yoh how I feel about him until I know that he can return my feelings.Until then I'll just act like the bossy,disatisfied girl that I've always been to cover up my real emotions.
---
Man why is Anna taking so long?Yoh thought.I've been waiting here forever.What I would give to see her beautiful face right now.I really like her.I actually it be that I've fallen in love with Anna?I guess so.My heart's pounding like crazy.And if I'm like that on the inside I can only imagine what I'm like on the outside right now.I'm probably as red as a tomato.But I can't confess my feelings for Anna because I'm afraid that she might turn me down.I mean right now she only thinks that we're going out because we wanna get to know each other better before we get married and that's how it's going to be until I know that Anna can return my feelings.Until then,I'll just act like the silly,obnoxious boy that I've always been.
Just then,Yoh heard Anna's bedroom door open.He looked up and his heart began to race even more when he saw Anna turn the corner and start to come down the stairs.
"Aa..nna!..."You look.....in..credible!"
Anna was wearing a beautiful dark blue,mid cut dress with diamond spaghetti straps.Around her waist was a thin chain of flawless diamonds that was tied back by a lovely light blue bow that reached to her ankles.Her hair was combed back into a bun with a few strands of curls coming out of it
"Oh..Thanks a lot.You look pretty okay yourself,"she said.
Yoh wearing a black pair jeans and a light blue button down shirt.But he was still wearing his orange head phones and sandals as usual.
"Hey that sounds pretty shocking coming from you."said Yoh
Yoh held out his hand waiting for Anna to come downstairs.She walked down the stairs and met his hand.They then walked out the door and to the restaurant.When they arrived in front of the restaurant (still hand in hand),Anna could not help but peek in through the window.
Inside she saw a many lovely red tables with couples sitting in them talking and having a good time as beautifly lit candles warmed their hearts.She also saw a small orchestra in the corner playing beautiful music while the couples danced together hand in hand.
I hope that Yoh doesn't ask me to dance because that would be a complete nightmare!,she thought as she was sadly staring at her hand that was embraced by Yoh's.
"Um...Anna if you don't want to hold my hand,you don't have to,"said Yoh as he realized how Anna was looking at their hands.
"Oh..uh..what?" she said as she looked up at him."What makes you think that I don't want to hold your hand?"
"Well I saw the way that you were looking at them and well you know...I assumed that you were uncomfortable."
"No it's just that I've had a lot on my mind and well I was kinda out of it for a while,but no,I like holding your hand," she said as she held his hand tighter.
Yoh gave her a smile as he opened the door and was standing there as if he were waiting for her to walk in first,but as Anna began to walk in,Yoh gently pushed her aside and walked in first.Anna's eyes became firey red as she became angry again and said to herself:
Ugh that little brat what does he think he's doing?Just when I think that he's trying to be romantic, he ruins it all pulling stunts like these?Ugh he is such an ass sometimes!!!I swear!!
When they went in,Yoh held Anna's hand again,and a waiter immediatly came up to them and welcomed them to the restaurant.
"Well hello there.My name is Robert.How may I serve you to today?"
"Um can we get a table for two please?",asked Yoh
"Oh I'm sorry but they're all taken.But will a booth be okay?.
"Is that okay Anna?",he asked
"Yeah that's fine."
"Right this way then," answered the waiter.
They both walked behind the waiter gently swinging their arms,but for some reason Yoh began to giggle.
"Hey Anna.."Yoh whispered.."Check out the zits on the waiters face.It's like pimpleville there."
"YOH!!What's the matter with you?she whispered."Don't say things like that!Besides your face isn't exactly pimple free if you know what I mean?"
Yoh became shocked,let go of Anna's hand,and began to touch his face.
"I don't have pimples do I?"
Anna just turned,gave him a smile and grabbed his hand again but did not respond.
When they arrived at there booth,they saw that it was right by a window and in front of the dance floor so it was perfect.They both sat down and each recieved a menu.When Yoh recieved his,his eyes grew wide when he saw the prices.
"Whoa look at these prices!!"We can't even get a glass of water for free!!"
"Well you did choose this restaurant so you're going to have to deal with it."said Anna.
"Whoa Anna calm down.You know what you should do?Just relax.We're in a fancy restaurant and all sure but that doesn't mean that you have to act all polite and everything.Hey,you're a kid.Just be yourself.I like it when you're yourself.
"Just because I'm still a kid doesn't mean that I have to act like one when we're out in public places like these.You have to understand Yoh that having a childish behavior can lead to many consequences and they're not always good."
"You may be right."said Yoh."But you should enjoy being a kid while you have the chance because you won't be a kid forever ya know."
Anna just stared at him a gave a little smile.
After that,Anna and Yoh both agreed on getting the lobster and some tea.And soon enough after about 7 minutes there lobster and tea had finally arrived at the table.Yoh had really looked foward to eating the lobster but when it arrived he looked at it dumbfounded.
"Um this doesn't look anything like what the menu described.This thing has legs!!12 of them!!!Ewwww!!!
Yoh looked closely at it,but then quickly jumped back.
"Uhh I think I saw one of them move Anna!!!"
"Yoh it's dead.It's just your imagination."
"Nuh uh.I swear saw one of those things move." He said as he clutched onto the booth.
"Don't be such a baby.Besides you've battled some of the ugliest shamans in the world,some that I wouldn't even get close to, and yet you mean to tell me that you're scared of this?A helpless creature that's ALREADY DEAD!!"
"You're right Anna.I can do this." He let go of the booth and rolled up his sleeves determined to touch the lobtser.
He closed his eyes and slowly reached for the it.He then felt something in his hands and immediatly thought that he had the lobster and started pinching it,but little did he know that he was actually pinching Anna's nose.
"I got it!!" He said as he pinched it even harder."But it feels kinda soft."
He then heard growling noises and opened his eyes to see Anna filled with rage because the whole time he was squeezing
her nose!
"Oops.I'm really sorry Anna," he said but it was too late.A fist had already come flying towards him and there was no way to stop it.
POW!!!!!!!!
Yoh had been punched in the face and he sat there crying while Anna gracefully cracked open the lobster and began to eat it.
"Mmmm....This is really good."she said as she licked her fingers.
After the whole ordeal,Yoh and Anna had finished there meal when suddenly one of the orchestra players announced:
"This song goes out to all of those couples out ther that are deeply in love tonight.Why don't you all join us on the dance floor and express your true feelings through song and dance?"
The song had begun to play and it was one of the most beautiful songs that Yoh and Anna had ever heard.They saw as many couples graciously took to the floor and began to embrace each other in a show of love.Anna became really nervous because she knew that Yoh might ask her to dance even though she didn't want him to because she was afraid to admit that she couldn't dance.She placed her hand over her forehead,looked down at the table and whispered to herself:
"Please don't ask me,please don't ask me,please don't ask me."
But then she saw a shadow standing in front of her and as she looked up,she saw Yoh with his hand out,gazing into her eyes.
"Would you like to dance?"he asked.
