And We Danced
Chapter 5
...This Feeling Within My Heart...
It was early morning when Yoh awoke. He yawned, rubbing his eyes, opening them slowly expecting to see the ceiling, only to find himself staring into the eyes of another.
"Yahhh!" he shouted, sitting up now, coming mere inches from the person before him.
"A-Anna!" he shouted, the room suddenly coming alive.
"ANNA!" shouted Trey, leaping from his bed.
"ANNA ALERT! ANNA ALERT!" shouted Choco, already up-and-at-em.
Anna watched, glaring a bit, annoyed at the others display of stupidity, watching as they ran about the room in a panic, when all she wanted to do was speak to Yoh, finding it hard to do, seeing as the others were practically on the verge of having a cardiac.
...gotta get them out of here... she thought, closing her eyes, trying hard to drown them out but to no avail.
"ANNA IS HERE! GET UP! GET UP!" shouted Ryo to a sleeping Lyserg, Lyserg sitting up straight now, stiff as a board, eyes wide with shock.
"Wha...what!" he asked, glancing around a bit, trying to grasp all that was happening.
"Gah, ENOUGH!" shouted Anna, unable to take anymore. All froze, looking to her now.
"The only reason i'm here is to wake you all up. Now get up, get dressed, and get downstairs in 15 minutes, or you'll all be very sorry. You got that?" she asked, looking about the room now, hands on her slender hips as her eyes ran over their blank faces, her eyes shifting a bit into a glare, fingers tensing slightly, on the brink of exploding on all of them.
"Ahh, right Anna! We'll be down there before you know it!" stated Yoh quickly, giving a nervous, but cheesy smile to his would be wife. Anna blinked a bit, titling her head slightly before giving a nod.
"Be sure of that. Your lives depend on it." she said casually walking out of the room.
The boys stood a while, stairing at the doorway, wanting to be sure that Anna was gone, before they pounced Yoh.
"Yaaah!" shouted the young shaman, falling to the floor.
"DUDE! You SOOO just saved us!" spoke Trey, clinging tightly to his friends waist.
"Ahh yes Master Yoh! You are truly our HERO!" added a happy Ryo, bear-hugging his delicate friend.
"Ack Guys! Can't...breath...!" managed a now smothered Yoh.
"Yeah guys, don't accidently kill your "hero"." stated Morty with shifty eyes, using his fingers to quote the word hero.
"Ahh good point." stated Trey, letting go of Yoh now, Ryo doing the same.
The boys stood a while, stretching and yawning, getting into the school-morning mood. It wasn't too bad, they got up at around 7:00 A.M, using what time between there and 8:00 A.M to get prepared for school. Trey blinked a bit, looking at the ceiling, noting there really wasn't that much to DO before school. Sure, they had to fix the room up and change into their uniforms, but that was practically the extend of it.
...don't forget washing our faces, brushing out teeth, doing our hair, eating breakfest and getting our school bags together... thought the blue haired shaman, running his fingers through his think hair, which normally stood straight up, but at the moment was a bit limp and dull.
"Hah! Nothing my headband and a little hair gel can't fix!" he stated happily, the others looking to him a bit.
"Ahh it's early yet guys. Trey is still talking to himself." said Yoh, scratching the back of his head some as he looked to his roudy friend, noting Trey wasn't much of a morning person and that him talking to himself, as he did every morning before school, ment they still had plenty of time before they needed to get ready to go.
"Yeah yeah!" replied Trey, waving his hands at his friends who were chuckling at him softly.
Lyserg couldn't help but smile, finding it rather cute that they used Trey as a kind of "alarm clock." He then blinked a bit, hearing what sounded like soft snoring.
"What? What's that?" he asked, the others apparently not listening, Lyserg just opting to figure it out himself, blinking a bit more as he wandered around the room some, the snoring seeming to get louder and louder as he neared the area where Trey had been sleeping.
He stopped then, looking down at the pile of blankets before his feet, leaning down now to pull them back slightly, exposing deep purple hair.
...wha...it's Lenny...! thought the emerald haird shaman, a bit surprised to find the chinese shaman snoozing still, especially after the whole panic fest that had occured earlier. He wasn't sure of what to make of it, and also wasn't sure if it was his place to wake the young shaman.
It's not like they weren't friends, it was just that they really werent that close, at least not in Lyserg's eyes. He was actually quite intimidated by the violet haired shaman, and was a bit worried that waking him in such a deep sleep would be a bad idea, especially if he was mistakened for Trey.
...i'd be killed... thought Lyserg, gulping a bit as he stood, deciding to ask the others for help.
"Uh guys..." he began, looking to them now, all in turn looking back.
"What's up Lyserg? Something wrong?" asked Yoh, blinking a bit.
"Kind of. It's just, Lenny is still asleep, shouldn't we wake him up?" asked the young shaman, his tone quite concerned.
The other shamans blinked a bit, exchanging glances, before pouncing each other, all falling to the floor beginning to wrestle, all but Lyserg, Lenny and Faust VIII, who seemed to be mysteriously missing in action at the moment.
"I'm not waking him up!" stated Yoh firmly, from beneath Ryo.
"Dun look at me!" cried Ryo in protest, holding onto Trey and Chocolover.
"It's not my turn!" added a struggling Choco, tugging at Ryo's arm that held him in a head lock.
"I'm not gonna do it!" yelled Trey, his hand on Ryo's cheek, pushing his face away some, while his other hand gripped the front of Morty's robe.
"No way! He'll send me out the window or worse kill me!" stated Morty, tugging like mad at his robe.
Lyserg watched, sweat-dropping now as his friends continued on with their fighting.
"Heh, keep this up and you'll all help wake him up." he said softly, smiling with his eyes closed sweat-dropping still.
The others haulted then, looking at eachother.
"He's right..." stated Yoh, still below Ryo.
"Yeah, at this rate, we'll all be killed! If not by Len, then by Anna!" shouted Trey, the others nodding in agreement.
"There is only one way to slove this..." began Ryo, standning now, in turn freeing Yoh and dropping both Choco and Trey.
"Ow!"
"Hey!" shouted the two, landing on the floor in a heap.
"We must solve this with...Rock, Paper, or Sciccor!" stated Ryo, standing boldy before them now, the others falling over anime-style.
"WHAT!" shouted Morty, stairing at him in dis-belief.
"How can that solve ANYTHING?" he roared, his tiny chest heaving heavily.
"Easy my short friend, for you see, with this, only one of us will be killed and the others shall be spared!" explaned Ryo, kneeling now beside the short boy, his arm drapped loosly over his shoulder.
"Ahh...good point..." said Morty, him and Ryo joining the others now.
A few minutes later it was down to the final two; Choco and Trey.
"You're goin down dude!" stated an overly confident Trey.
"No way, I was MADE for Rock, Paper, Sciccor!" replied Choco, the two facing each other now, hands before them.
"And...Begin!" shouted Ryo, all watching.
"Rock...Paper...SCICCOR!" the two shouted in unison, the others watching, waiting for the outcome which was...!
"Choco chose Paper over Trey's rock...therefore...CHOCO WINS!" shouted Ryo, Trey falling over.
"And the crowd goes wild!" chanted Morty, waving a pair of pants around that had been lying on the floor.
"Aww, fine!" said Trey, composing himelf now, as he walked toward Lenny.
"You guys might wanna stand back." he said, his eyes suddenly going serious.
"Things...could get ugly..." he said seriously, the others falling over anime style.
"I'm going to wash up!" said Ryo, heading for the bathroom.
"Me too." added Yoh.
"Wait for me!" shouted Morty, following close behind, Lyserg blinking a bit, catching up to the others.
"Uh, are you sure it's ok to leave him alone with Len? Won't Len kill him...?" asked a rather worried Lyserg, Yoh in turn blking a bit, then smiling cheesily.
"Nah, Lenny likes Trey." he said assuringly, Lyserg smiling some, nodding.
"Besides, Trey takes way too much time in the bathroom doing his hair." added Yoh, slipping into the bathroom, Lyserg sweat-dropping with a nervous laugh and smile.
Trey waited for the others to empty into the large group bathroom, before taking his leave towards Lenny, who was still snoozing beneath the covers.
...this is gonna rock... thoought the snow shaman, clenching his fist happily before him, eyes closed with a cheesy grin.
...how shall i do it...? he thought, a mean but playfully expression on his face now, eyes slightly narrowed, jaw set, bearing his clenched teeth as the wheels in his head began to turn.
The plan to awaken Lenny was simple and flawless, and would no doubt work...and get him killed, but it was a risk Trey was willing to take.
...mwa hahaha, here we go...! he thought, flopping down beside his sleeping friend.
Len was lost in a dream...
...no... he thought
...it's a nightmare...
It had to be a nightmare, the screams of all he had hurt and killed, all because of what he was taught, of who he was taught by and of who had had become.
...no... he thought, standing amist the darkness.
...it's not my fault... he said softly into the dark, getting no response.
Why? Why was it him? Why was he still the one who had to be tormented by his past? He wanted so badly to let it go, to forget it all had ever happened, to rid himself of the pain and suffering, to wash his hands of the blood that stained them.
...forget... he thought still in the dark, as he covered his face with his hands.
...i want to forget... he continued falling to his knees now, the small light that had been above him slowly fading out.
...please...let me forget...
Len moaned some slightly opening his eyes.
"Uhh..." he managed, blinded a bit by the early morning sunlight.
"Morning...already?" he asked to himself, closing his eyes once more, opening them again quickly, stairng at the figure before him.
"Morning Sunshine!" stated Trey with a cheesy grin, his face mere inches from Len's.
The boys were busy in the bathroom. Lyserg and Morty were in their uniforms, but the others had only managed to get their pants on, as they were busy doing other stuff, like putting on deotarant, brushing their teeth and perfecting their oh-so-perfect hair...at least Ryo was.
"I'LL KILL YOU!"
"Looks like Lenny's up." stated Yoh with a smile as he dried his face with a towel.
"Yup." replied Morty with narrowed eyes.
The others listened in now, heard what sounded like Trey pleading with Len, but Len only seeming to ignore him, which was followed by shouting, then some breaking noises, and a bit more shouting ending with a-
"RAPID TEMPO! RAPID TEMPO! RAPID TEMPO!"
"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
Then silence...
The shamans in the bathroom stood quite, all frozen in whatever it was they were doing, wondeirng if they should dare enter the other room and check up on their friends.
"That...sounded like it went well." said Morty, with a slight nod.
"Yup, I agree." said Yoh, slipping on his bright orange headphones.
"That was sarcasim!" shouted Morty to his headphone wearing friend.
"Oh." stated Yoh, looking at the mirror at Morty's reflection.
"My bad!" he replied with a cheesy grin, Morty falling over Anime style.
The others then went back to doing whatever, Yoh messing with the buttons on his shirt, Choco washing his face, Lyserg perfecting his tie, while Ryo perfected his hair.
"You GUYS!" shouted Morty, the others looking to him.
"What's wrong now Morty?" asked Yoh, a bit annoyed by his friend's behavior.
"I think Trey was just killed, that's what's wrong!" shouted the short student, panting heavily.
"Nah, he's fine! Lenny wouldn't kill him!" stated Yoh with an assuring smile.
"Right! Then why is he so quite!" demanded an angered Morty.
The others blinked, exchanging glances, before going back to their business.
"He probably went back to sleep." said Yoh.
"Yep, that's Trey." added Choco, Morty shouting incoharently as he fell to the floor.
Just then, Len entered, a bit slumped over, his heavy bladed weapon slung over his shoulder.
The others looked to him.
"Morning Len!" said Yoh happily with a smile, Len mummbling something under his breath as he walked to the opposite end of the bathroom, setting his weapon up against the wall.
The bathroom it self wasn't massive, but it was big, big enough to fit them all in it, though not too comfortably, especially the larger males, like Ryo and Faust, though Faust was still missing.
Ahem...the bathroom was a decent one. The front wall held a large mirror, that showed from the waist up, complete with three sinks and a cabinit to store their belongings. Across from that sat a large two stalled shower area, which was used every so often, that was, when the boys ddin't use the group showers or the large bathing pool. All in all, the bathroom was very neat for a bunch of boys using it.
"Well i'm done!" stated a proud Choco, posing now.
"Me too." stated Yoh, leaning back against the counter of the sink.
"Yeah, looks like short pants is the only one left." said Ryo playfully, motioning to Len.
"Yeah, yeah..." mummbled Len, stripping off his robe and slipping into his uniform.
The others waited, looking around the bathroom, blinking a bit, wondering where Trey was and what exactly Len had done ot him.
"Uh Len, is Trey ok?" asked Yoh, looking to his purple haired friend.
"He'll live." stated Lenny simply, adjusting the collar of his shirt, the others falling over anime style.
"I think we should worry." stated a nervously smiling Ryo.
"Ya THINK!" roared Morty, practically blue in the face from shouting.
"Ohhh..." moaned a voice from the doorway, the others looking to it.
In stummbled a rather burnt and beat up Trey, slummping up against the door some.
"Morning to you too Len!" he managed, coughing out some black smoke lightly.
"How do you like your Trey in the morning! Well done, or extra- crispy!" said Choco, poking Trey playfully, only to be smacked aside by Trey and Len.
"Don't even start DUDE!" shouted a still dusty Trey.
"Yes! It's far too early to put up with YOUR stupidity!" added Len, the two continuing to beat on Choco, Lyserg watching, a bit taken aback by their behavoir.
"Ahh, such,..intense mornings." he said, nervously scratching the back of his head.
"Nope! This is normal for us!" said Yoh, patting his green haired friend's back as he and the others watched Chocolover, Len, and Trey.
Anna was busy downstaires, busy getting ready for school! Tamora and Pillica had already prepared breakfest, and were already dressed at that. Anna just stood now before a mirror hanging on a far wall, adjusting her hair some, not too fond of the idea that she couldn't wear her bandana to school, but complying with it anyway.
...i can always put it on afterwards... she thought with a nod, though still wished she could wear it, as it was kinda of a part of her, and she thought it made her look alot prettier. Yoh on the other hand...
"You're beautiful to me either way!" he had told her on numerous occaisions, causing her to blush madly, and scold him, him just laughing when she did, always giving her his favorite cheesy grin after she did. She couldn't help but smile, knew if he saw her standing here now like this, he'd say the same thing again.
...that's my Yoh... she thought, lightly resting her hand against her chest, blinking a bit at a strange sensation there.
...oh... she thought, remembering what it was.
...that scar... she thought, running her finger tips over the fairly invisable scar that marked her chest, the one Faust VIII had given her in the cemetary, when Hao had once again, attempted to kill her, Yoh, and the others.
Anna shuttered as he finger tip touched the edge of the scar on her chest. It wasn't too noticable and it wasn't like she was wearing anything low cut, however it was still there, a painful reminder of how close they all came to death.
...it really was going to end up a dead man's party... she thoought, quickly shaking her head.
...no... she thought, clenching her fist some.
...i won't think about it...not now... she told herself.
...just incase... she thought, looking to her reflection.
...just incase...'he's' there... she thought, closing her eyes, criss-crossing her arms before her chest, hugging herself some, a sad look upon her face.
Seeing him there at school would just make her day, hell make her whole freakin year. That's all she really needed was to worry about him showing up like he always did, out of nowhere, like some kind of nightmare or natural disater. Aside from that, she didn't want to have to worry about him, she was in school she had enough worrying to do what with all the exams, homework, and what-not going on, not to mention the Spring Dance.
...'him' showing up would be exactly what the doctor didn't order...she thought, blinking a bit now at her reflection, knew she'd have to leave soon, so found it in her best interest to make sure the boys were in the kitchen eating. She was about to head towards the hallway, when she heard a knock at the door.
She stopped, stairing at the front door now, blinking a bit.
"Who could be here at this hour...?" she thought, noting it was almost 7:10 in the morning. No one in their right mind would stop by now, especially when the gang would be leaving for school within the next five minutes.
Anna thought about this and just shrugged, figuring it was no one important, and that if it was they could come back when they all returned from school. With that in mind, Anna turned, heading to the hall now, stopping once more as another knock echoed throughout the house.
...what the... she thought, noting it was a bit louder and tense then the last one.
Slowly, Anna turned towards the door, taking cautious footsteps now, trying hard to fight back the fear in the back of her mind.
...it's 'him'... growled a thought from the back of her mind.
...shut up... she commanded, trying hard to fight back the fear of opening the door to 'his' cold eyes and cruel smirk.
...it's him and you know it... the voice in the back of her mind barked, Anna shaking her head some, getting annoyed.
...he's gonna bust in like last tiem and kidnap you again...!
...damn it.. she thought, stopping now.
She was a few feet from the door when the stranger on the other side knocked again, once more the tone louder and more firce then the last.
Who was it? Why were they here? Could it really be 'him'? All this ran through her mind as she reached her hand out slowly towards the doorknob turning it slowly, trying not to think about who was on the other side of the door, about being grabbed and dragged away, or ambushed in the hall.
...dont think... she thought, knew with another quciky movement of her hand the door would open, to who, she wasn't sure of, only knew she'd find out by twisting the doorknob, but her hand didn't move, it froze as did the rest of her body.
...what are you doing...? her mind asked, Anna shaking her head a bit, wondering the exact same thing.
...well now, you gonna open the damn door or are we gonna stand here all damn morning...? she thought annoyed, closing her eyes tightly her expression and mix of fright and anger as she twisted her hand and jerked the door open, continuing to keep her eyes closed not wanting to see who or what awaited her on the other side.
...open your eyes...! her mind scream, her body fully complying, Anna opening her eyes to gaze upon the person on the other side...!
And blinked, stairing wide eyed at the person before her, truly in a state of shock.
"FOOD! WOO-HOO!" shouted Trey, diving for his bowl of cereal, beginning to devour it.
"Gotta hurry guys! We only have five minutes!" stated Yoh, beginning to scarf down his cereal along with the others.
They wasted no time downing their meal, while keeping an eye on the clock. Tamora and Pillica made no effort to interfear, they had already eaten.
"Who made the oatmeal?" asked a ravonous Trey, glancing around the kitchen.
"It was you huh sis?" he asked, aiming his spoon at his sister.
"Wha?" she asked, Trey about to speak, when Len smacked the back of his head.
"Dude! What gives!" he asked, rubbing his head some, Lenny rolling his eyes.
"A man does not point at a lady, that's all." he said, sipping at his glass of milk.
"What!" shouted Trey, standing now.
"I was just asking if she made the oatmeal!" he roared into his purple haired friend's ear, Len narrowing his eyes.
"OKAY!" he shouted back, taking a bite of his cereal.
"Gah and look at you!" shouted Trey, standing now beside his friend, his hands out, palms upward, fingers curled into a kind of crunching position.
"You haven't even EATEN anything yet! And were leaving in three minutes!" countinued Trey, Len seeming to ignore him, closing his eyes now as he sipped at his milk, then took his spoon once more putting it to his mouth then putting it back down, chewing his cereal ever so slowly.
Trey watched, blinking at first then clenching his teeth, his left eye twitching slightly as beads of sweat slowly ran down the side of his face.
"GAH! I HATE YOU!" roared Trey, about to dive for his friend but stopped at someone's voice.
"What about the oatmeal?" a voice called from the other room.
Trey blinked a bit, still in his diving stance as he called back.
"I was wondering who made it!" shouted Trey, looking to the doorway of the kitchen now.
"That would be me!" stated a proud Faust VIII, popping out from the doorway, the others falling over anime style.
"Gah! So you were doww here all morning cooking?" roared Trey, at the doctors side now.
"Mmm-hmm!" he replied happily, smiling with his eyes closed.
Trey opened his mouth to speak but nothing came out except sigh.
"Well..." he began, crossing his arms now as he turned from the necromancer.
"It was really good." he said, Faust smiling happily.
"Really? I'm so glad you all liked it." he said, smiling contently now as he walked towards the sink.
"I figured you all must be tired with school and what not, so I decided to make myself useful and make you all breakfest." he said, beginning to wash the dishes.
"Wow Faust! That's really nice of you!" said Yoh smiling happily now as well.
"Yeah! You sure are a nice guy!" added Choco, Faust no longer hunched over the sink, but standing now, as he washed a dish, seeming to stare out the window.
"Actually, if I don't Anna said she'd throw me out." he said, the others once again falling over anime style.
"Heeeey, that reminds me...didn't Anna say something about 'pulling out own weight' here?" asked Trey, putting his hand to his chin now, the others about to smack him silly.
"Don't say a word! If she gives us anything extra to do now I will KILL you!" shouted Lenny, practiacally toppling his friend over.
"Len's right! We've got enough to do what with housework and training alone! Plus the exams and the dance! If she gives us anything else to do we'll die from exhaustion!" shouted Morty, turning his attention to his milk glass now.
"He's right!" cried Ryo, cuddling Lyserg as he began to sniffle.
"Ahh...there there Ryo." said Lyserg, patting the snivling shaman on the back.
The drama continued to unfold, the others either arguing, eating, cleaning, or crying, not really paying too much attention, that was until Chocolover spoke.
"WHOA! We gotta get going!" he shouted, pointing at the clock on the wall.
"Ack! Already 7:30!" asked Yoh, the others nodding.
"Yup, time to go dudes! School awaits us!" said Trey, grabbing his bag and heading for the door, only to be tugged back by none other then Len.
"YOU mean the detention office awaits you." he said, smirking at his blue haired friend, Trey mumbling something, flat out on the ground.
"Hey guys, where's Anna?" asked Yoh, glancing around the kitchen, catching no sight of her.
"Maybe she's busy getting ready still?" asked Morty, Yoh shaking his head.
"Nah, you know Anna, she's very punctual about things." he said the others nodding.
"Yeah, punctual, pretty, and abusive." said Trey with a content sigh, once again off in dream land.
Len just rolled his eyes, shaking his head.
"I'm not saying a word..." he said softly, crossing his arms now.
"Well, we need to find her. We can't just leave without her." said Yoh looking quite serious.
"Heh, maybe if we wait a bit more Anna will come to us." stated Choco, a hand to his chin.
"Yes, lead the predator to the prey..." he continued, quickly being smacked from behind.
"Do you have any idea as to what you're even talking about?" roared Lenny.
"Yeah! Shut up dude!" added Trey, the two continuing to pound on the'r downed friend.
"What about me?" spoke a voice from the opposite doorway, the shutter slamming as it was opened.
"Anna!" the boys shouted in unison.
"Ah, uhhh, we...we were just going to look for you!" stated Yoh with a nervous, but cheesy grin on his face.
"I'm sure you all were." she stated, the others falling over anime style.
"Really Anna! We were!" added Yoh, holding his hands up in defence, the others piled behind him now, except Faust who was lost at the sink doing dishes, Eliza at his side.
Anna stared upon them all now, hands on her hips, her face experessionless.
"So, uh shall we get going?" asked Yoh, the others nodding.
"Last one to the gate owes me lunch!" shouted Trey about to race out the door freezing at Anna's words.
"Wait a minute." she stated the others freezing now as well.
"Did I say it was time to leave yet?" she asked, folding her arms across her chest now.
The others exchanged glances looking to her.
"Ahh, but...it's already 7:15. We always leave at 7:15 right? Right?" asked Yoh looking to the others for support, finding none.
"Ahh uh...aheh..." finished Yoh, rubbing the back of his neck some with a nervous look upon his face.
Anna stood still, seeming to look a bit annoyed, causing Yoh to blink some.
"Everything ok Anna?" he asked, blinking a bit.
Anna's expression didn't change, nor did she move, instead sighing a bit.
"We've got a guest." she said simply the others blinking now.
"What!" shouted Trey.
"Who'd come at this hour?" he asked, about to continue, but haulting shortly after beginning.
"Like me yeah?" said a cute voice from the shutter beside Anna.
The others blinked, watching as it was pushed aside to reveal...
"MERIL!" the boys all shounted in unison, bug-eyed now.
"How...? When...? WHO?" shjouted Trey, the others joining in now as well.
"I was transfered here, yeah? By Yoh's grandpa! Pretty cool yeah?" she stated, posing happily in her uniform.
The others stood, sitll in shock, Manta on the other hand went limp, emitting a soft 'ohh' before passing out on the floor.
"Whoa...why didn't grandpa say anything?" asked Yoh, blinking as he heard moans and groans from behind the shutter once more.
In crawled Ponchi, followed by a batter and bruised Conchy.
"We forgot to tell you..." stated Conchy.
"Yeah, but we won't NEVER forget again, thanks to Anna..." added Ponchi the two falling to the floor in a heap at Tamora's feet.
"Eek! Ponchi! Conchy!" cried Tamora, trying to tend to her spirit's numerous injuries.
"So, where is our dear Meril staying?" asked Ryo, at the young girl's side now.
"A hotel yeah!" she replied, Ryo falling over anime style.
"Whaaaat!" he cried.
"How sad!" he added, sobing now, once again at Lyserg's side.
"Eheh...it's ok Ryo..." replied the green haird shaman.
"BUT! Anna says I can stay here now yeah! Pretty cool yeah!" squeeled the young shaman, posing cutly now, the others looking to Anna, shock on their faces.
"DONT GIVE ME THOSE LOOKS!" roared Anna, smacking them all silly.
"Ugh...sorry Anna..." moaned Trey.
"Ahh, how did I get dragged into this...? I was doing the dishes...!" groaned Faust VIII now on the floor with the others.
"Anyway, this is no time to get aquainted." stated Anna, standing with her hands on her hips once more.
"We're leaving for school now." she added, the others getting to their feet.
"Schoo, yeah!" replied Meril, skipping happily over to Yoh.
"I think we have all the same classes yeah!" she said happily, Yoh laughing nervously.
"Re-really?" he asked, Meril nodding happily once more, Yoh trying to ignore Anna's eyes burning into the back of his head.
"Lets go." stated Anna, the others lineing up and piling out the door.
"I'm so happy yeah!" began Meril prancing about happily as they all exited the house, Faust staying behind once again going back to doing the dishes.
"We're all happy too Meril! It's great to have you back." said Yoh, smiling happily at the girl.
Meril looked to her headphone wearing friend, touched by his sweet words.
"You're the best Yoh!" she shouted, gloming her friend, Yoh almost falling over, catching himself bearly.
"Ahh..aheh heh..." he said nervously, blinking a bit when he found his hands were wrapped about the young girl's waist.
"Err..." he began, blushing deeply, his eyes wide at the sound of Anna clearing her throat.
"Comfy aren't we?" she asked, Yoh quickly detaching Meril from his upper torso.
"Wh-what's that Morty! We're late for school? We'd better get going then!" shouted Yoh, bolting down the sidewalk, Trey and the other shamans following.
"What!" shouted Morty, him, Pillica and, Tamora running after their friends.
"Wait for me yeah!" shouted Meril, joining them as well, Anna watching from the front gate still, frowning a bit.
Something hurt, something within her chest, a feeling she had never felt before.
...what shall I call this feeling...? she thought, walking slowly now after the others.
...this feeling within my heart...
