Chapter 8: Anna's training for Dummies (a.k.a Yoh)

It was 6 am and the Asakura house slept peacefully... NOT! A bugle sound rang through the house like an army camp, snapping everyone, including Yoh, to attention. The three people behind the annoying trumpet playing were Anna, Jeanne and Marco.

The blond itako walked up the steps to Yoh and Ren's room holding a megaphone. Without opening the door her harsh voice drifted to them.

"IF YOU TWO AREN'T DOWNSTAIRS IN THE NEXT TEN MINUTES, NO ONE EATS!"

With that threat in the air it only took Yoh five minutes to come down, Ren coming down a minute later.

"What do I have to do with this?" yawned Ren annoyed.

"You're going to make sure Yoh trains." smiled Jeanne serving them breakfast.

Yoh downed his breakfast quickly and, knowing Anna's training all to well, went to put on his leg weights.

"Ten laps before lunch!" yelled Anna.

"Ok." he yawned a little before leaving.

He was done five and a half laps three hours later when he decided to take a break.

"Master Yoh, is stopping wise?" asked his samurai spirit worried.

"Nah. It's okay. Who's gonna see me?" he asked smiling.

"YOH ASAKURA!"

Yoh flinched. "Yes Ren?"

"Start running or I'll tell Anna!"

Yoh heaved a huge sigh before standing up. "I'm going." he mumbled.

"See what I mean?" sighed Amidamaru before vanishing.

Another three hours later and it was lunch. Yoh arrived home, legs sore, hoping to sit down for a few hours.

"Finally it's over." sighed Yoh stretching his legs.

"No it's not Yoh. Weight lifting and house cleaning next." Anna said smirking.

"Aw man! It never ends!" he whined.

"Come eat!" yelled Pirika from the kitchen.

Yoh managed to get to the kitchen without his legs walking away on him. He slurped his soup quietly, completely zoning out, his mind on his dream.

/What if it was more of a vision? I have to go but, what will I tell everyone/ he thought.

"Yoh dude! You okay?" asked Horo waving a hand in front of his face.

When Yoh didn't answer Horo smirked and grabbed the pepper shaker. He shook some pepper into the air around Yoh's nose. Yoh sighed, breathing in the pepper...

"ACHOO!" he sneezed, being launched backwards.

Horo meanwhile, fell over laughing, pointing at Yoh, struggling to breathe.

Yoh sat up and rubbed his nose, sneezing another small sneeze.

"Well that was... a wake up call! Thanks Horo!" he smiled his trademark grin.

"What? I'm confused." said Horo.

"Never mind." said Ren shaking his head.

After lunch Yoh started with sit ups.

"1... 2... 3..." Anna walked in as he began. "99... 100... 101..."

"Yoh don't lie." she walked out again and Yoh fell over.

Around 2 pm Yoh began cleaning. The dreaded pile of dishes that waited for him was so high that he actually had to tilt his head up to see the top. He began cleaning slowly until one of the dishes got stuck. He pulled hard and got it out, but the shaking caused Anna's favourite plate to fall. Yoh closed his eyes and waited for the crash... that never came? He opened his eyes and saw his onii-chan holding the plate.

"Be careful Yoh! I want you alive." he said setting the plate down on the counter and vanishing.

For once Yoh thanked his lucky stars that Hao had shown up when he did. Although Yoh got the funny feeling that said twin brother of his was watching his every move.

Yoh finished the dishes and went to clean the bathroom. He walked in, grumbling that everyone else got to go outside and relax on such a beatiful day, while he was cleaning. Before he realized what was going on, he slipped on a loose bar of soap. He braced himself for the hit on the hard ground... that was taking a really long time? He opened and noticed that a certain pyro was holding him up.

"Uhhh... thanks Hao. I think?" said Yoh confused.

"Don't get hurt." he whispered in his ear, pushed him up and vanished.

Yoh finished cleaning the whole house about an hout and a half later. He went to get his weights, brought them outside and began lifting them out there. His mind drifted again and he felt like he was tipping. He fell over onto his back holding his weights before he snapped out of it. He checked his watch and noticed it was almost supper time.

"Time to go cook." he sighed.

While cooking his mind drifted again. He wondered why he was doing all this work, why he wasn't relaxing, why Anna had come back, why Hao wanted him... why something was burning?

Yoh sniffed the air before realizing his hair was bent over the stove.

"OUCH!" he yelled tapping the fire out.

When supper time came, everyone wondered what had happened to Yoh's hair.

"Bet he burned it!" laughed Chocolove.

"Not funny!" snapped Ren.

"I did. I zoned out and burned it." said Yoh smiling.

"Is that what that yell was earlier?" asked Jeanne.

Yoh nodded. "By the way, I'm going for a walk tomorrow around 4 pm. And I'm going alone."

"What? Why?" asked Ren.

"Reasons..." he trailed off looking away.

Anna gave Yoh a stone cold look but he avoided her eyes also.

It was before bed when she confronted him...

"Yoh, where are you going tomorrow?" she asked blocking his path.

"For a walk." he mumbled looking away again.

"Yoh, I know there's something wrong. You don't have to tell me, but please be careful." she said lightly putting a kiss on his lips and going to bed.
