Chapter 5 - My Point
Hao's POV
Anna's one weird girl.
Yep, most definitely, she is.
One moment she was a LITTLE shocked (mark the word little) from what Yoh had said, the next, she had slapped Yoh really hard and had walked out. She must have never expected Yoh to say such things. And now, where is she leading herself?
Wait a second.
What the hell is wrong with me!...? Why the hell am I even following her!...?
Perhaps you somehow—
Somehow what!...?
Somehow want to make sure she'll be—
Don't even think about it!
Oh goody, I'm hearing voices in my head now. First sign of insanity. But I can't go insane! There's too much for me to do! So many girls, so little time! What would the world do without my hot body?
Suffer, duh.
Ehem… I'm off the point here.
"Stop following, Asakura." Her freakishly nasty voice boomed.
Exaggerating? Heck, no.
"I'm not following, Anna; it just happens that I'm going in the same direction as you."
"Right." She said in her Anna-sarcastic-trademark-voice.
Okay, did that even make sense?
"Answer me Anna, why would I follow you?"
Maybe because you have—
Shut up.
Listen will ya!...?
Ignore. Ignore. Ignore. Nope, nah-uh. Not gonna listen.
That reminds me, Anna's not responding.
"Can't answer, Anna?"
"I wasn't paying attention to you." Ow. That hurt… –NOT!
"Well, if you weren't paying attention, you wouldn't have heard me." I grinned plainly. Hah! Let me hear your comeback this time lil' she-devil.
"You were dying to be noticed, Hao." So, okay, she made a very lame comeback. That doesn't count.
"If the attention would be from you, I might as well die."
"Then, die."
Wow, she loves me a lot.
"Watch your tongue, Anna… Remember, starting today, you're mine for a month."
She stopped. Whoah, I must be making some progress. Heh… Now, that's a thought.
"Why you little—" The crowd around us suddenly parted as a man squeezed in. He was running wildly for whatever reason with a bag clutched tightly in his hands. With a blur of events, he had tossed Anna the bag and had vanished through the crowd.
Wow, I should learn to do that sometimes. You know, just to get away from the crowd of fan girls that usually tail me around.
Anna stared at the bag. Confusion in her eyes. That's a first.
"Stop right there, miss!" Three cops went toward Anna. She's in trouble, yep she is! Rejoice, rejoice! I'm gonna throw a party tonight!
Click. Handcuffs.
"What's this for?" she said icily. This girl certainly needs to learn some manners.
"You are under arrest for stealing." The first cop said. Don't listen to Anna's bickering! Just arrest her already! "You too, mister." Click. Whoa, whoa! Hold your horsies, you're arresting me?
Good for you… Haha…
Shut up. "There must be some misunderstanding, officer…"
"Yeah, that's what they all say, tell that to the chief."
I rolled my eyes. These guys are total idiots. Can't they recognize a thief when they see one? Well, yeah, they could mistake Anna as one… But me?...! Nobody in their right minds would try to arrest me. I just have to set things straight, huh? The usual.
Whoa, lookie here, I'm handcuffed with Anna! –I'm off the point again.
Hao's going to be arrested! Hao's going to be arrested! Hao's going to be arrested! Whoo!
You're supposed to be taking my side, idiot.
Heck, no way!
Oh great, I'm talking with the stupid voice and it's answering me. Gawd.
O-o-O-o-O
"Sir, I'm not with him."
"Actually, sir, she is." I smirked at her and she glared back.
Man, the look on her face was priceless!
"Jump off a cliff, Hao."
"Ladies first." I smiled lazily. " –Oh wait, you're not even a lady."
"At least I, unlike you, am not gay."
"You think I'm gay, huh? Wanna bet?" I smirked slyly.
Okay, evil scenes coming to mind. Not good.
Tsk, tsk… you're one perverted creature…
"I don't only think, Hao, I know."
"Really?"
"SHUT UP, BOTH OF YOU! I DON'T CARE WHAT GENDERS YOU TWO HAVE! I DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE BOTH GAY!" Mr. AIR HEAD yelled in his usual out of this world voice. What can I say, I forgot his name. "JUST SHUT UP!"
"…"
"Good, now, you explain." He actually wanted me to explain?
Goody.
"Well sir, Anna bumped into that thief guy while we were taking this romantic walk—"
"That wasn't a romantic walk, Asakura."
"Anyway, he tossed the bag to Anna and well… blame reflexes."
"I see…" Mr. Air head rubbed his chin thoughtfully. He thinks he actually has a brain. Hah!
"Let them go, Anton." Ah, a familiar voice.
"But, chief!"
"Hao will never do such a thing. Now, get me the keys to these handcuffs."
"Yes, chief."
"Hello, uncle." I said blankly with a hint of boredom and annoyance. Okay, so mostly annoyance.
My idiot for an uncle beamed at me. Ew. Disgusting.
He's your uncle, you know.
Your point?
"Sir, we can't find the KEY!"
"What!...?"
"We'll just have to replicate another sir. It'll be ready tomorrow."
What? You mean, I'll be stuck with Anna tonight? My Gawd. It's not like I don't wanna. Well, she is a girl and I— that's way beyond the point! She might poison me in my sleep! Or— GAWD! HELP!
O-o-O-o-O
"This is all your fault." She began.
"You're the one who took the bag."
"You're the one who made it worse."
"I'm the reason why we got out at the first place."
"So you have an uncle that's actually the chief of police, so what?"
"Well, for beginners, that's an advantage."
"You're a dependent slimy worm."
"Anna, please, stop playing hard to get."
"I am not playing hard to get."
I rolled my eyes. "Right. Chicks today."
When we reached the apartment, I instantly slumped unto my bed and because we were both handcuffed to each other, she followed suit. Oh, damn. I caught her by the waist before the both of us could fall off.
She stared up at me. I merely blinked. We continued this for a whole minute until…
"Let go, Hao."
"Right." I stood up and helped her stand up, being the gentleman that I am.
"Wait." I said. She frowned a bit. Cute…
Okay, wipe that thought. I do not, I repeat, I do not think that she is cute. Anyway, back to business. I pushed my bed towards her's, leaving a few centimeters allowance. I'm considerate too, you know. (Cough) sometimes (cough).
Big-headed bozo…
Shut up. Hearing voices again, I must be tired. I laid in my bed and so did she.
Right, I'm tired but I can't sleep… Wow.
Ask her something!
Nope. No way. Not gonna listen.
Now, don't be stubborn. What are you, chicken?
I'm not hearing things. And nope, I, Hao Asakura might be delicious but I am not something you can eat i.e. a chicken.
Just ask her something!
Why should I ask her something? I despise her remember? Why should I even waste my time dealing with her? She's hopeless and no matter how much I try to be (cough) nice (cough) to her, she ruins the scenery and just starts the fight. Understand?
…Asking won't hurt, right?
FINE! FINE! Stupid voice…
"Hey, Anna?" I began coolly.
"What!...?" Ah, the usual annoyed voice.
"I'm wondering, how did you and Yoh meet?"
End of POV
"Why do you care!...?"
"I don't."
Anna rolled her eyes. She might as well tell him before he tries something rash. Besides, he might rub the fact that she lost to him in her face again.
"Well?" he smirked.
"I first saw Yoh at the Asakura mansion, peacefully staring at the garden below him. Then I found out that we were classmates in our first grade. He befriended me and ever since, he treated me like his best friend although I don't consider him as one."
"I see. So that's why I don't recognize you. Why did he say that you're his anyway?"
"I don't know and I don't care."
"You don't know?"
"Of course, I don't! What are you deaf?"
"Heck, no."
Anna frowned again.
"I think, I know why he said so."
"Why did the baka say such things then!...?"
"Before I answer that, did he promise you something when you were little?"
"Yes. He did."
"…"
"He promised to protect me." She coldly said as if it doesn't mean a thing to her.
"There's your answer. He doesn't want you to get hurt because of me. And since his brain is too small, he devised a plan so that I won't touch you."
"He pretended that I'm his so you'd stay away!...? –It's your fault then."
"Nope. It's yours."
She arched an obvious brow.
"If you just worshipped me, Yoh wouldn't say such things."
"Why would I worship a toad?"
"Stop denying, Anna."
She rolled her eyes. "Why do I even bother!...?" With that, she pulled the sheets over her face.
Hao watched her from the corner of his eyes until she fell asleep.
"…" Hao smiled. "…Good Night."
O-o-O-o-O
Hao opened his lazy eyes and yawned. He clutched the handcuffs with his free hand and pulled the other out easily. He stretched a little, making sure that Anna was still asleep. He grinned lazily and slid his hand to the handcuffs again.
"Hey, Anna, wake up!"
"Darn it, Hao, what is it!...?"
"You still need to cook me food."
She glared at him but stood up anyway. She forcefully walked towards the room's kitchen so Hao would have trouble keeping up with her since they were both handcuffed… again.
"Make it tasty, alright?"
"Just shut up."
"Watch your mouth, Anna; you have to obey me this time, you know?"
"I hate you." She scowled at him.
"You love me that much?" Hao grinned. "As much as I like you expressing your undying love for me, just shut up and cook."
End of Chapter
Next Chapter – What is Hao planning to do with Anna? Will Anna survive Hao's (cough) evil imagination (cough)? How come Hao doesn't even recognize Anna when they first saw each other considering that he's Yoh's twin brother? And what is up with this freaky voice and the coughing? Has Hao gone insane (and at the same time, sick) or is his head just too big that it's trying to tell him that it will explode sometime in the future? Who knows? Find out in the next chappie! (n.n)
A/N: So what do you think of my poorly done chapter? Honestly, I'm suffering from writer's block, people! And that's the only thing that I could write. Sowree… (T.T)
