CHAPTER 3
Anna looked at her watch.
" Six-thirty." she muttered to herself, and got up to her feet, switching off the television.
She peered outside her room, expecting to see Yoh in the kitchen, making dinner.
There was no Yoh.
Bad news for Anna, worse news for Yoh.
Her legs made her way to Yoh's room, in which she promptly slammed the sliding door to a side, raising her eyebrows at Yoh, whose back was facing her. Not for long though. She grabbed one of Yoh's dumbbells which were resting near the door, and was ready to throw it at him when he turned, anxious, shutting the book in his hands, removing the earphones from his ears.
" Anna!" he exclaimed. " Since when did you come in? I didn't hear you."
" Then how did you hear me lifting the dumbbells from near your door?" she asked, almost venomously, dropping the dumbbell on the ground with a loud thud.
" Amidamaru called me just in time." he said, grinning, pointing to a sheepish looking samurai behind him.
She continued to glare at him.
" Is. . .something bothering you?" he asked, inching backwards.
" It's six thirty." she said, prouncing every word clearly. " You're supposed to make dinner at six, and the food to be ready at this time exactly."
" I thought it was Manta's job." Yoh asked, placing the book on the table.
" He's sick today." she said. " It's surprising that I know that and you don't."
" He didn't tell me." he said, blinking.
Silence.
" What were you reading?" she asked suspiciously, her eyes eyeing the book on his table closely, but he whipped it out of sight and hid it behind his back. " Nothing!" he said quickly, sounding like a guilty schoolboy.
She just continued to stare at him for a full minute before she sighed and put her hands on her hips.
" Just go make dinner." she said.
" Oui, madam." he said, grinning as he brushed past her and ran off.
Anna blinked as she watched him go.
Weird.

" You want me to what?"
Faust was looking puzzled as the three of Yoh's friends; Ren, Ryu and Horo gathered around him, serious expressions on their faces. " Although I have full confidence in Yoh on the battlefield," Ren said, frowning at Faust's bemused expression. " I doubt that he would be able to seduce anything from the likes of a toothpick to a sabretoothed tiger. So we need you on the sidelines just in case Yoh gets. . ."
" Disembodied?" Faust asked, a sick smile on his face.
The others shivered.
" What I can't beleive," Lyserg said, who was sitting in a corner the whole time, sipping his coffee quietly. " Is that Yoh took four years just to gather up the courage to try to bed Miss Anna."
Ryu grinned, shrugging. " Can you blame him? I'm surprised that it didn't take him five."
Lyserg, who had never had close contact with Anna, looked confused. " I don't think she's THAT unattractive." he said.
" She's not." Horo said. " Quite the opposite in fact. But she's scary."
Lyserg blinked. " Really?"
" Never mind that," Ren said, bringing them back to the original conversation. " We just need your medical assistance if anything goes wrong."
Faust glanced sideways at Eliza, who gave him a thumbs up. He smiled and nodded, and the others cheered.
" However," Faust said slowly, and the others snapped to attention. " There is no way that I can get inside the house without arousing the suspicion of Anna-san and Yoh-kun. I would get in trouble and. . .what's so funny?"
Horo was giggling continuously, and Faust stopped in mid-sentence, waiting for him to stop patiently.
" You. . ." Horo said, laughing. " You said. . .arouse!"
Time stops.
" Ano baka!" Ren yelled smashing his fist on the base of Horo's head.
After minutes of calming Ren down and stopping Horo from laughing, Faust was able to continue. He cleared his throat. " As I was saying," he said. " There's no way that I could. . ."
" We get it, we get it." Ryu said, nodding his head intelligently. He turned to Lyserg, who was sitting in a corner. " Is there anything that you can suggest to us, Lyserg?"
Lyserg paused, biting his lip. " I could probe a spycam on my oversoul and we could see things from the inside." he said, shrugging.
" That's a good idea!" Ryu said, grinning, making motion to give him a hug.
" Idiot." Ren said, crossing his arms. " Anna's too smart for that. She's a spirit medium, she could sense your oversoul as easy as snapping her fingers. Plus, don't you think Yoh would sense it too? He's a shaman, after all."
Lyserg nodded, and Ren sighed. " That's true." they said at the same time.
" I could cut out one of my eyeballs." Faust said knowedgebly. " Then, I could place it in. . ."
" NO." the others said at the same time.
Ren plopped down back in his seat and sighed. " We sure have weird ass conversations in this cafe." he muttered.
" You can say that again." Horo muttered.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Yoh was watching her every move out of the corner of his eye, tossing food unconciously into his mouth.
He watched her pick up a piece of meat, place it into her mouth and chew it slowly, her eyes shut. He gulped as his eyes strayed downwards, to that extremely short skirt she always wore, which was now hitched up above her thighs due to her sitting position, and he gasped as her legs moved slightly, the creamy white skin of her upper thighs visibly seen.
" I went to meet your grandfather today, by the way." she said, clearly not noticing his lustful gaze on her, still muching her food nonchalantly.
" Mm?" he mutteerd, eyes still transfixed on her skin, and his eyes widened as for a fleeting second he thought he had seen her underwear line.
Then he blushed as he saw it in clear view.
Black.
" He said he wanted me to learn some new ritual." she said, almost to herself now; there was nothing in her words that was getting into his head. " But in my opinion it's completely hopeless." Food completely forgotten before him now, he watched her as if in an ecstasy-induced trance. His eyes drew from her thighs to the slope of her neck, to her collerbone, then to the undoubtably large amount of cleavage of her black dress, where his eyes stayed, and not for the first time he was glad of her loosely dressed fashion at home.
He gasped as she reached foward to pinch a piece of meat from the table, exposing her cleavage in the process, and he had to conform his drool at the sight of her pale, white skin.
" What's wrong, Yoh?" came her voice, and his eyes unwillingly drew away from her beautiful skin to her piercing gaze.
He blinked. " What?"
" You've been dazed out for the last few days," she said, looking at him seriously, and he noted painfully that there was still a trail of white sauce at adorning her full, red lips, almost looking like. . .
Never mind.
Things like this was best not said out loud, agreed?
" I'm fine." he said, trying not to look at her. God knows how much willpower it took for him to not just jump on her at that very moment. She nodded to herself, satisfied for the time being with his answer, and licked the white sauce off her face. He shuddered inwardly. " Alright Amidamaru, I'm going to try now." he muttered as silently as he could.
The samurai nodded and his spirit flew off. " Good luck, Yoh-donno."
He smiled weakly at him as he flew off. He took in a deep breath.
Alright. The point of no return.
" Anna." he said suddenly, and she looked up to face him.
" Yes?" she said.
" We're engaged, right?"
She raised her eyebrows. " If you want to get all technical. . .yes."
" We'll get married soon, right?"
Her eyebrows, if possible, raised even higher. " I guess you could say that. . .yes."
" You know that I care for you and like you, right?"
She blinked, a faint blush appearing on her cheeks.
" Yoh, I don't get where you're going with all this. . ."
" Please answer me, Anna."
She just looked at him for a moment before nodding. " Yes."
" And you don't exactly hate me, right?"
This seemed to stump her, but after a while, his determined face and a smirk earned from her, she nodded. " Yes."
He seemed to gain a certain amount of confidence from that.
" Can I make love to you?"
Her face reddened noticibly at that, and she got up from her seat, spilling sauce all over her front shirt. " What?" she gasped.
He got up. " What?" he asked. " We're engaged, aren't we?"
" Engaged," she said, biting her lip. " That's a different thing from married, isn't it?"
" Anna. . ." he moaned. " What's wrong with it, really?"
" Well. . ." she said, more embarrased than she ever was by now. " Nobody has ever actually seen me. . ."
She cut off at that, gasping as she felt Yoh get up, his lips covering hers. Her hand was raised in the air in mid-slap, but her eyes widened as she noticed his hand had caught her hand in time and pinned it behind her back.
She moaned, his lips kissing their way down her throat, pushing her way backwards until she was pressed against the wall.
" Yoh. . ." she moaned throatily, creating a whole new arousal inside him.
" Anna. . ." he muttered, his hands snaking up her skirt, touching her soft skin peacefully.
She whimpered as he pushed one of her collars down, biting into her soft skin. His fingers were unknowingly powerful over her as her legs felt weak, and she crumpled to the ground. He murmered in agreement as he sprawled over her, his fingers inside her dress, fingering her bra strap, struggling to snap it open. She whimpered as he licked her behind the earlobe, her hands cradleing him in her arms.
Suddenly she blinked, controlling her hormones for the first time in the last two minutes, Yoh not noticing at all; he was still busy trying to unhook her bra.
WHAT THE HELL WERE THEY DOING?
Anna seemed to contemplate that for a second, and it was when he had finally managed to unhook her bra when she managed to calculate out the figures for what she was going to do. Urges; a fine seventy-six per cent, and she had to give Yoh credit for that. But anger and embarrasment was at a strong one hundred per cent, and no amount of urges could overcome that.
Her ahnd grabbed his before he would touch her once more, the smirk on her face.
' OOOHHHHH SSSHHHIIITTTT' Yoh whispered to himself.
" You hentai." she whispered, her legs ramming up at the same time to his protective area.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
" You're pathetic."
The boys were inside Yoh's room, and he was being examied by Faust, much to his embarrasment. He pulled on his pants, wincing in pain as the rest of his friends and his brother looked at Faust in worry.
" It's okay." Faust said, smiling. " It's nothing major. However it's not minor either. It's worse than yours, Hao."
Ren, Ryu, Lyserg, Manta, Chocolove and Horo raised their eyebrows at Yoh's brother, who was looking sheepish. " I was worried that I would become infertile." he said, laughing it away. The others rolled their eyes.
" That's because Hao was wearing jeans." Yoh said painfully. " I was wearing shorts."
Hao's eyes widened. " Underwear?"
" Nope." Yoh said pitifully. " And she used two legs."
Hao let out a whistle. " I feel your pain. One leg was bad enough."
Chocolove pounced up, seizing the moment. " Ah?" he said. " A bag and a hag had a laugh?"
Silence.
" Still, she was a bit harsh, wasn't she?" Manta said, sweatdropping at the sight of Ren and Horo whacking Chocolove with everything they had. " I mean, whatever you did to her; no matter how sudden, you are her fiance after all."
The sliding door burst down to the ground and there stood Anna, a huge temple appearing at the side of her head.
" ANNA!" they all yelled in shock.
" What did you say, Manta?" she said, in a false sweet voice, but the broken door was the evidence of her anger.
" N---nothing, Anna-san." Manta said, trying his best to hide behind Lyserg.
" Lyserg?" she said, smiling venomously at him. " I know you're a nice person, so if you don't wish to die, stop hiding Manta."
It was then when Lyserg finally understood why everyone feared her.
" Y- - -Yes, ma'am." he stuttered, crawling away.
" Come, Manta." she said curtly. " You have a LOT of housework to do."
Almost crying, he walked off after her. Yoh bit his lip and stood up, surprising everyone, including Anna.
" Anna!" he called out, and she turned, surprised.
" What do you want? Hentai."
Her eyes involuntarily turned to Hao, who waved nervously.
" I'm sorry." Yoh said, and she turned to him again, eyes wide. He looked away. " I loved you so much, I just couldn't control myself."
Anna had to hide the smile which was creeping on her face, but lucky for her she was such a good actress. ' Damn, he's good at making you feel sorry for him.' she told herself, but maintained a stern look. " I'll forgive you this once." she said, kicking poor Manta down the stairs. " But if you try anything like that on me again, I'll personally kill you. And every single one of your friends inside this room."
Even Ren couldn't suppress a shiver.
She glared at Amidamaru, who was twiddling his thumbs, looking up at the ceiling innocently, but couldn't hide from her sharp eyes.
" And if possible, you too, Amidamaru."
Even Hao looked remotely abashed.
" B. . .But I'm already dead, Anna-san." Amidamaru said weakly.
Anna smirked. " It's possible to die twice, right?" she whispered softly and walked down the stairs.
When they made sure she was gone, everyone let out the breaths that they were holding.
" Now I know why all of you are so scared of her!" Lyserg exclaimed, wiping the cold sweat from his face.
" She indeed packs a punch." Ren muttered.
Yet Hao was smiling. He got to his feet and snapped his fingers. In a second's time his Oversoul was outside Yoh's house and stepped out of the window when he turned around and his gaze met Yoh's. Yoh smield back at him.
" You've got a plan, haven't you?" he asked.
Hao smirked.
" Indeed." he said. The room was tense while waiting for Hao to continue. " You don't have enough experience to get into bed with Anna at this rate, and to wait another two years until you're both married is too long a wait, isn't it?"
Yoh nodded.
Hao winked. " I'll teach you how to court a girl then."
Yoh's eyes widened, and the others gasped in shock.
" I'll stop by twice a week then." he said, stepping onto his Oversoul. " Of course, if your other friends want advice too, I wouldn't mind coaching them too."
" Really?" Horo called out, eyes gleaming.
Ren rolled his eyes. " Idiot." he muttered.
" See you three days from now." Hao said, winking as he soared off on his Oversoul.
They watched him leave.
" Looks like he's quite serious about it, ne? Yoh?" Lyserg said.
Yoh smiled. " Yeah." he said.
He just stared at the sky for a few more minutes before looking at his friends, smiling.
" Thank you," he muteterd to himself. " Onee-chan."
END CHAPTER 3
