-Hey everone. I'm back again with another chapter of "Love at Last."! Sorry that it took me a while to update but I've been chatting a lot and I haven't had a chance to type up the next chapter. But I finished it and here it is. Get ready to read another LONG chapter! (giggles innocently) Sorry 'bout that. Enjoy chapter 7!
Disclaimer: I don't own Shaman King but I do own this story so ha! (sticks out tongue)
Anna squinted her eyes as the morning sun made it's first appearance through her bedroom window. She slowly sat up and rubbed her eyes. As she looked out upon the sunrise, a flashback struck her mind.
Flashback (A/N: Aren't you guys getting tired of all of these flashbacks?)
"Um...Anna? I know that you probably can't hear me but..well." Yoh looked up at Anna "I... I l...I love you.," he whispered shyly.
"I just wanted to tell you that even if you couldn't hear me." he finished.
Yoh slowly stood up and looked back at Anna on more time. "Good Night Anna." He then turned around and walked out the door.
Once Anna heard the door close, she immediately sat up and clutched the bed sheets in her trembling fingers. She was completely surprised by Yoh's confession. She gasped and stared at the door sadly.
"Yoh" she gasped. "... I...I love you to." She whispered. She then looked down at herself. " I just wish that I could tell you as well." A small tear trickled down her face as Anna silently cried herself to sleep.
End of Flashback
Anna gasped as she remembered the events that had happened the previous night.
"Yoh said that he loved me..." Anna whispered.
She then looked up again at the sunrise one more time before getting dressed.
-
After about 10 minutes, Anna was fully dressed, but she continued to sit on her bed.
What am I going to do? She thought. Yoh has completely no idea that I heard every word that he said to me last night... He's probably downstairs right now, eating his breakfast without a single clue. How should I react when I see him? Should I just pretend like I didn't hear him just like I did last night?
Anna frantically bit her nails as she continued to remember the words that were said to her the night before. What was she going to do if she saw Yoh again?
After several minutes, Anna decided to face her fears and to go downstairs. Anna was going to walk over, sit down at the breakfast table, and pretend like nothing ever happened. It was decided.
But as Anna opened her door and walked down the hallway, there was an eary silence that filled the air. Usually Anna would hear the sounds of laughter coming from downstairs, as everyone joked around the breakfast table. But today there was nothing but silence.
As she made her way down the stairs, she was able to see into the living room, but it was completly empty. Usually Ren wouldbe sitting on the couch, with Manta by his side...but there was nothing. Nothing at all.
Finally she reached the bottom of the steps and looked around. There was no one there. The kitchen was empty. The living room was empty. Even the bathroom was epmty! (Cause you know that Horo Horo is usually in there).
All of this made Anna confused. Where had everyone gone?
"Hello?" she called. She heard nothing but her own echo.
"Is anyone here?...Where is everybody?" she asked again.
There was no answer.
"Yoh?" she called.
Again there was no answer.
Suddenly, Anna heard thumping noises coming from the front yard. Curious, she went outside to investigate.
She made her way out the door, only to find Yoh and the others piled into Ren's car again. Everyone was in the car, except for Horo Horo who was trying desperatly to stuff all of the luggage into the trunk. He wasn't having much success.
Yoh saw Anna standing by the front door with a look of confusion on her face. He smiled his trade mark grin and waved at her nicely from the front seat.
"Oh hey Anna! Ready to go?" he asked.
Anna arched her eyebrow and crossed her arms.
"Ready to go? What are you talking about?" she asked as she leaned against the door frame.
Ren (who was in the driver seat of his car, of course) knudged Yoh in the arm and whispered.
'You were supposed to wake her up and suprise her remember!' he reminded Yoh.
Yoh slapped himself on the forehead as he remembered that he forgot to wake Anna up and tell her about the surprise.
"Oh yeah I completly forgot!" he said. Yoh sighed, got out of the car, and walked over to Anna.
As Yoh got closer, Anna's heart began to race. The thoughts of the previous night flooded her mind with each step that he took. He was coming closer and closer to her. The trademark grin on his face. She immediately stood up straight as he took his final step and he was face to face with her.
Yoh stared into Anna's eyes with a serious look on his face. All the while making Anna's mind go berzerk.
But just then, he chuckled and smiled. "Uh sorry that I forgot to wake you up Anna. I must have forgotten."
Anna uncrossed her arms and looked over at Ren and the others who were all waiting in the car.
"Uh what's going on Yoh?" she asked.
"Oh yeah. What's going on is that...We're going to the amusment park!" he grinned.
"The amusement park?" Anna asked.
"Yeah the amusement park." Yoh repeated.
Anna sighed and looked down at the ground. A sad expression on her face.
"Uhh Anna?" Yoh asked. "If you don't want to go then that's okay. We'll just cancel the trip and..."
Anna interrupted.
"Of course I wanna go baka. What made you think that I didn't?" she asked.
"Oh well...you sighed and you were staring at the ground. I just assumed that well..."
Anna interrupted once again.
"No, no, no. It's just that well...I've never been to an amusement park before." she muttered.
Everyone's jaw dropped when they heard the astonishing news. Anna had never been to an amusement park? No way!
"You've never been to an amusement park?" Ren asked.
Anna looked up at Ren.
"No."
Everything then went silent. Not a sound was made.
(Silence)
Just then Yoh wrapped his arm around Anna's shoulder and started to walk her towards the car.
"That's okay. I mean there's a first time for anything right?" Yoh then looked down at Anna who was surprised by his actions. "That'll only make this trip even more exciting." Yoh chuckled.
Anna was completly surprised by Yoh's sudden actions, but she walked along with him as they made their way to the car.
Yoh decided to sit in the back row with Anna just like the night before. As everyone settled down in their seats, a sudden crash was heard.
Everyone turned and looked towards the back of the car,to see wherethe sound was coming from. They weren't surpirsed when they saw Horo Horo on the ground with massive amounts of luggage burrying his body. He never managed to stuff the luggage in the back of the car.
A small whisper was then heard from the pile of luggage.
"Uhhh...I'm okay." Horo Horo responded.
Pilika and Tamao both smacked their foreheads in disbelief and replied.
"Oh Horo Horo."
Ren sighed..
"We should have never trusted him with our luggage. He's probably already broken everything" he yelled.
Ren walked out of the car, went over to where Horo Horo was burried, and pulled Horo Horo's mangled body out of the pile. He then swung Horo Horo into the car and closed the door.
He then proceeded to put all of the luggage into the car without any trouble.
"See how easy that was Horo Horo" he asked.
Horo Horo just sank deeper into his seat without uttering a word.
Ren sighed. He went over and sat down in his seat once again. He put on his seatbelt and adjusted the mirrors. He then sighed as he looked at everyone through the rear view mirror.
'This is going to be a long day."
After that he proceeded to drive out of the driveway and to the amusement park.
Author's Note:
Hey everyone. Sorry for the crappy chapter, but I had to break it down a bit. The next chapter will probably be the ride to the amusement park, or the ride to the amusement park and when they arrive. I haven't decided yet. It depends on how long the chapter will be. Well at least you guys know where they're heading off to next right? I guess you guys are all probably mad at me for leaving another cliff hanger huh? I deserve it. Well thanx for reading! Love you all! Bye!

Can't until you update your fics!
Vash: I guess that you're probably angry at me once again. I did leave another cliff hanger. I'm sorry. But I like to leave cliff hangers because it leaves the reader in suspense and wanting to read more. And that is how I get more reviews. (smiles) But don't worry. I'll TRY and cut down on the cliffhangers, but believe me...it's not easy.
Itako no Shaman: You are one of the sweetest people that I have ever met! I almost cried when I read your review! All of the nice things that you said to me, were so touching! Thank you so much! Can't wait to read some more of your wonderful stories!
Tao Ren: Aww come on Ren. Lighten up. You just caught a tripping girl. What...would you have rather let her fall? Let me guess...you probably would have. And hey you do to blush sometimes!

WAIT! Before you leave...I'd like you all to answer these questions.
Do you think that "Love at Last" is a great story?
Would you like me to update sooner?
If you answered Yes to any of these questions, then you might wanna listen up. I have a story called "New friends, New challenges" that hasn't been getting many reviews. (4 chapters, and only 8 reviews. I mean come on) So if you guys would like to see "Love at Last" chapter 8 posted sooner than expected...then I would advise you to PLEASE review "New friends, New Challenges" If not then "Love at Last" will be updated later then expected. Muhahaha! ( I am so evil. I know) So check out that story and review now! Thanx!
