Yay I received 17 reviews for the last chapter! Not as many as last time, but that doesn't really matter to me. Just happy that there are people out there reading my fics. Special thanx to YamiandAnzu4ever and Soul of the Xcaliber for wishing me well while I was sick. Glad that's over, cause being sick isn't really fun. (sighs)

"Hurry up Yoh! The bell already rang!" Said an impatient Horo Horo as he waited by the doorway of his algebra class. He was waiting for Yoh who was currently busy turning in his math assignment to Mr. Lucas.

"Hold on Horo Horo I have to turn this in." Yoh replied as he walked up to his teacher's desk.

Horo Horo was growing impatient by the minute. He glanced over into the hall and saw crowds of kids rushing down the stairs as if some kind of clash had just occurred. Curious, Horo Horo was anxious to see what was going on.

"Uhhh I'll wait for you in the hall Yoh!" Horo Horo said as his curiosity finally took over. He dashed away into the hall following the numerous crowds of students.

Yoh turned back around and handed his math work to his teacher, but before he could leave his teacher called him back.

"Yoh." he called.

Yoh turned around. "Yes Mr.Lucas?" he asked.

"I have noticed that you have been slacking off a little in my class. You seem concerned about something. Are you alright?" He asked.

Yoh flashed his trademark grin and rubbed the back of his head innocently.

"Oh that...hee hee...Well you see um... I have been a little worried about someone lately so that may be the cause of the issue." Yoh answered as cheerfully as possible.

"Hmm. I see." The teacher replied. "Well I do hope that this little issue is resolved because you do know that finals are only about 2 weeks away don't you?" Mr.Lucas asked.

"Ugh. Don't even remind me." Yoh sulked.

"Ha ha. Ahhh I'm sure that you'll do fine Yoh." Said Mr. Lucas as he gave Yoh a pat on the back. "You just got to apply yourself more in school and really concentrate on your work, especially on my math." The teacher reminded him.

"Yeah you're right." Yoh answered. "I'll should apply myself more in my studies and try to raise up my grades." Yoh grinned.

"But wait Yoh. You do need to resolve the problem that you have. Always remember that friends are a really important part of your life. Therefore, if you want to do better in school, then you should really try and focus on resolving any friendship issues that you may have." The teacher answered.

"Yeah you're right." Yoh answered.

All of a sudden, Horo Horo came rushing into the class room calling Yoh's name.

"Yoh! Yoh!" He shouted.

Yoh turned. "What's up Horo Horo? Whoa...were you running?" He asked.

"You have to hurry. There's a fight!...Downstairs! There's a fight going on!" Horo Horo tried to explain as best as he could, but was out of breath.

"A fight? What do you mean? Who's fighting?" Yoh asked curiously.

Horo Horo continued to take in deep breaths as he tried to regain his breath so that he could answer Yoh.

"Anna's...Anna's fighting. She's fighting with some snobby rich girl named Tsuyu." Horo Horo answered as he stood up straight.

As Yoh heard the name of the one girl that he cared for so much, his heart paused and the grip on his text books faltered causing him to drop all of his text books to the floor. Without second thought, Yoh rushed out of the classroom and ran down the hall as quickly as he could to go and find Anna.

"Yoh! Wait!" Horo Horo called trying to stop Yoh before he left, but it was too late.

As Yoh hurriedly walked down the stairs, to where the fight was supposed to be, he was met by crowds of students who were blocking all if any view possible of the fight. The only thing heard were continuous grunts and the sounds of punches as the flew into the air and met the opposite person.

Yoh hoped dearly that the punches were coming from Anna and not towards her. Wait a second, he shouldn't even have been thinking of such things. He should have hoped that Anna wasn't even fighting not if she were being punched or not.

Yoh smacked his forehead. Ugh how could he be so selfish! But none of that mattered now. He had to go and make sure that Anna was alright. Or that she hadn't beat the other girl into a bloody pulp yet for that matter.

Yoh tried his hardest to make his way down the steps and through the crowds of chanting school students. The only words that were coming from the crowds were some of the most obvious. Yoh sighed as he heard the words "FIGHT! FIGHT!" coming from the many young spectators. How could these students be so vile as to not even try to break up the fight. They were only encouraging it and making matters worse.

Yoh continued to gently move through the crowd as he tried to make his way through to finally see what was going on.

Finally. I just have to get passed these two people and I'll finally be able to see what's going on. Anna, please be okay. Yoh thought.

And just as Yoh stepped in front of the two people that were in his way, he was finally able to see with his own eyes his Anna, fighting.

Yoh's eyes widened as he saw his Anna kick a black haired girl down to the ground and start to punching her in the face, while two other girls (Tsuyu's two friends from before) tried their hardest to pull Anna off of her. Tsuyu also tried to fight back by pulling Anna's hair as hard as she could, but Anna then rewarded Tsuyu's actions with another punch to the face.

Yoh couldn't believe his eyes. What did these girls do or say to Anna that made her act in such a violent way? Why was Anna doing this?

"A...Anna."

Yoh stretched out his arm out of the crowds to try and grab Anna's arm, but was then stopped when a security guard came in front of him and the crowd and started to push everyone back.

"Okay everyone, step away now! We don't need to encourage this fight so step back!" The security officer said as he tried to handle the crowds.

Yoh looked up at the security officer.

"But sir please. The blonde haired girl is a friend of mine...I have to go talk to her." Yoh pleaded.

"I'm sorry son, but you're going to have to step back now!" The security officer was getting impatient. He slowly grabbed a walkee talkie from his back pocket and started to call for back up.

"Uh yes this is security officer Henry, we have a fight taking place at the bottom of the steps near the school entrance. I'm going to have to need back up here. I'm currently trying to control the crowds and am not able to break up the fight." He called. He then placed the walkee talkie back into his pocket and continued to try and handle the enormous crowds of students who were still chanting "FIGHT! FIGHT!"

Yoh maneuvered his head around so that he could look passed the security officer and see Anna, but the more he moved, the more the security officer pushed him back.

"Step back now! You all have to be getting to class so move out of the way. This fight is over!" He continued.

Yoh then stretched his arm out once again over the security officer's shoulder and called for Anna.

"Anna! Anna!" Yoh called.

Anna heard her name being called and looked up and saw Yoh calling her from the crowd.

She squinted her eyes. "Y...Yoh?" She whispered.

Just then, 4 other security officers came rushing over to the scene. Two went over and grabbed Anna and Tsuyu by the arms and pulled them away from each other. And the other two security officers went over to try and control the many crowds of students.

Anna resisted as one of the security officer's pulled her back and Tsuyu resisted as well. The two girls continued to glare at each other and look upon the damage that they had done to one another.

Tsuyu's hair was a mess, she had several scratches on her face and arms. And was bleeding quite a lot from her lower lip. There was also big bruise on her left cheek from where Anna had punched her continuously.

Anna on the other hand, was not as harmed. Her hair was a mess, and she had a few more scratches on her face, but other wise she was almost the same as when she walked into school.

Tsuyu's two other friends were also pulled back and their faces were scratched, and their hair also a mess. (A/N: Pst that's what they get for messing with Anna huh?)

"What were you girls thinking?" Shouted the security officer that was holding Anna back. "You guys are going straight to the principal's office. And you are going to be in a lot of trouble Ms. Annabelle Kyouyama." Replied the security officer that was holding Tsuyu back.

Tsuyu continued to tug and pull as she tried to release herself from the officer's grasp. She wasn't finished with Anna yet.

"Ugh you stupid whore! Look at what you did to me! You're gonna regret this!" Tsuyu shouted.

Anna said nothing and looked at Tsuyu calmly as if her words meant nothing to her.

"I'm gonna get you for this Annasmelle Bitchyama!" Tsuyu shouted once again.

"Hmph. Whatever." Anna replied.

Just then, the two officers dragged Anna and Tsuyu away to the principal's office also taking Tsuyu's two friends with them.

The crowds then started to break up and walk away from the scene. Yoh stayed at the bottom of the steps and stared blankly at the floor.

I can't believe it. Anna what happened to you. Why do you have all of those bandages on your face? Did something else happen this morning? And what was that fight about? Yoh thought.

Just then, Horo Horo came rushing down the steps and met up with Yoh.

"Whoa dude did you see that?" Horo Horo asked as he gently slapped Yoh on the back. "That has got to be one of the best fights that I have ever seen!" He grinned. "Yeah I was all the way in the back and all, but I still saw some of it and it was amazing." Horo Horo said.

Yoh continued to look down on the ground.

"Yeah." He then looked up at Horo Horo. "So what's the scoop?" Yoh asked.

"Oh well, I'm not really sure, but I did hear a conversation between these two girls in the crowd. Apparently, Anna was walking up the stairs minding her own business, when Tsuyu walked past her and tripped her. She then called Anna a dirty slut or something like that and then Anna just lost it." Horo Horo explained.

"So Tsuyu was the one that started the fight?" Yoh asked.

"Yeah seems that way." Horo Horo answered.

Yoh grunted and then started to run towards the principal's office.

"Hey Yoh! Where do you think you're going?" Horo Horo shouted once again. Horo Horo sighed as he saw Yoh run towards the main office. "He must really care about Anna." Horo Horo replied as he scratched his forehead. He then smirked and slowly made his way up the stairs.

Yoh quickly opened the front door of the main office and rushed over to the front desk.

A young secretary who was on the phone by the front desk, saw Yoh come in and looked up.

"Uh yeah how may I help you?" The secretary asked.

"I need to see the principal. It's urgent." Yoh answered.

"Yeah about that. Um sorry but the principal is taking care of a little business right now and he can't be disturbed." The secretary said. "Besides, shouldn't you be getting to your class right now? I mean you only have about 2 minutes left before your next class starts." She reminded him.

"I'm not going anywhere. I have to talk to the principal. It's about that the business that he is attending to right now." Yoh said as he was becoming agitated.

"Look kid, if the principal wanted you to interrupt him, he would have called for you. Now please, just go to class." She suggested.

"I told you I have to speak with him. It' REALLY urgent!" Yoh was getting even more agitated.

"And I told you to go to class! Now leave!" The secretary said as she covered the mouth piece of the phone.

Yoh sighed and turned towards the door. But before he walked out, he quickly turned around and walked straight over to the principal's office, despite the secretary's words.

"Hey get back here! You can't go back there!" The secretary called, but it was too late. Yoh was already half way towards the office.

As Yoh opened the door to the principal's office, he saw Anna, Tsuyu, and the two other girls all sitting down. Anna was sitting down in a chair with her arms crossed on one side of the room. And Tsuyu and the two other girls were sitting in chairs on the other side of the room.

The principal was sitting at his desk in the center of the room. He looked up as Yoh entered.

"Now Ms. Kyouyama what made you..." The principal saw Yoh. "Um excuse me, but I'm very busy right now. What do you want?" He asked.

"Um sorry to interrupt you sir, but I really need to speak with you about this situation." Yoh replied nicely.

"No need. I have everything under control, now would you please step outside. I will speak with you at a later time." The principal said harshly.

"But sir.." Yoh started.

"Please! Step...outside." He repeated.

Yoh sighed, but followed the principal's instructions and stepped outside into the hall. He made sure to stay close to the door so that he could here what was going on.

"Now back to our discussion." Said the principal. "Who started this fight?" he asked as he looked at all four girls.

It was silent for a few moments but then Tsuyu responded.

"Anna started the fight!" She said as she pointed towards Anna.

Even though Tsuyu was completely wrong, Anna said nothing. She remained silent with her arms crossed on her chest.

"She's the one that started it. She tripped me on the stairs and called me a slut. And she threw the first punch." Tsuyu continued. The two girls nodded in agreement.

The principal looked over at Anna. "Is this true Ms.Kyouyama?" he asked.

Anna said nothing.

Yoh's eyes widened as he heard what was being said. Why isn't Anna saying anything? He thought. She didn't start the fight so why isn't she telling him the truth?

"Ms. Kyouyama. I am speaking to you. Are these allegations true or are they not.?" The principal asked again.

Anna remained silent and said absolutely nothing.

"She isn't answering because she knows that she's wrong." Tsuyu interrupted.

"Excuse me. But I wasn't speaking to you Ms. Higorashi. I was speaking to Ms. Kyouyama." The principal looked over at Anna once more.

"Now Ms. Kyouyama. I will ask you once more. Is it true that you started the fight or not?" He asked.

Yoh was waiting outside the door. Crossing his fingers that Anna would answer him and tell him the truth.

Anna slowly lifted her head and looked at her principal. She then looked over at Tsuyu and the two other girls who were glaring at her. Anna took in a deep breath... and sighed and stared down at the ground, but said nothing.

The principal grunted and slammed his hand on the desk.

"Very well then. I have heard enough. Ms. Higorashi? You and your friends are dismissed. You may go to the nurse's office. As for you Ms.Kyouyama. You shall be suspended for 1 month for starting the fight and injuring 3 fellow class mates. After your suspension is served, you will also serve an additional 3 weeks of detention. All if this will be in effect starting tomorrow." The principal took a pen from his desk and some suspension forms and started to fill them out.

Yoh who was outside, couldn't believe his ears. Why was Anna getting suspended for something that she didn't do? Tsuyu started the fight and Anna knew that! Why didn't she say anything? Just then, Tsuyu and her friends walked out of the principal's office and walked passed Yoh with smirks on their faces.

"That's what that stupid brat Anna gets." Tsuyu grinned.

"Yeah so true." Said one of the other girls.

Yoh watched as the 3 girls walked out and went to the nurse's office.

Yoh couldn't take it anymore. He walked right into the principal's office and slammed both hands onto the principal's desk. The principal looked up at Yoh completely appalled. Anna looked over at Yoh as well.

"What do you think you're doing?" Yoh shouted.

"What are you talking about?" The principal asked.

"Why is Anna getting suspended? She didn't start the fight! Tsuyu did!" Yoh shouted. "Tsuyu and her friends are the ones that are supposed to be getting suspended. Not Anna!" He shouted.

"Did I not tell you to step outside?" The principal asked as he stood up.

"I don't care. Why are you punishing someone for something that they didn't do?" Yoh continued.

"I asked Ms. Kyouyama repeatedly if she had started the fight or not and she did not answer. I had no choice but to believe the words of Ms.Higorashi and her friends." He replied.

"But Anna didn't do anything!" Yoh turned and looked over at Anna who was still sitting down. "Tell him Anna. Tell him the truth. Tell him how Tsuyu tripped you." Yoh said.

Anna remained quiet and said nothing.

"Anna tell him." Yoh asked once again.

Anna said nothing.

Yoh went over and kneeled down in front of Anna

"Anna what's the matter? Aren't you going to tell him the truth? You don't deserve to be punished for something that you didn't do. Tell him Anna."

Anna looked up at Yoh with soft eyes. Yoh saw into the depths of Anna's eyes. Those eyes. So lonely and cold. He could see the pain that Anna was going through. Something else had happened that morning that made Anna silent. He just knew it. But what was it? What had happened to his beloved Anna that made her act in such a way. Why did it seem like she was growing distant from him even though she was right in front of him? What had happened to Yoh's Anna? Why was she crying inside?

Yoh then snapped back into reality.

"Well it seems like she isn't willing to say anything." The principal interrupted. "Perhaps it is because of the fact that she is guilty."

"She's not!" Yoh shouted. He then turned back to look at Anna. "Just tell him Anna. Please...say something."

Anna sighed. She then she stood up and looked down at Yoh.

"I'm not saying anything! Just drop it Yoh okay? Leave me alone. I have to get to class." Anna picked up her backpack, grabbed the suspension form and walked out of the office leaving Yoh down on his knees, eyes widened.

"A...Anna." Yoh called. Anna said nothing and continued her way out.

Author's Note:
Wow that was a long chapter. Awww poor Yoh was screamed at. And Anna got in trouble for something that she didn't do. I know what you're all probably saying right now. When's Anna gonna commit suicide? Why is Anna being so mean to Yoh? Well even though I have already answered this, many of you are still wondering. So I'll answer them again. Anna is going to try (notice the word "try") to commit suicide in a later chapter. And she doesn't mean to be so mean to Yoh, but after what she went through that morning trying to get to school and the fight, she's a little angry right now. Don't worry there will be some Yohna fluff eventually in this story. In the meantime, I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. I love you all! Bye!
