Anna opened the door and then walked to the dining room for breakfast.
It was so quiet, and no one was there.
It seemed like no one ever had ever been there, it was as clean as a cloud.
She started to feel uneasy.
Anna's eyes reached something on the table and went for it.
And there was a note.
'Dear my dear, dear Anna… I am so ashamed of my self for doing this to you… but I have to leave… I have some unfinished business in America and I have to go now… I'll be gone during this summer. Maybe when you're reading this note, I'll be on the plane… Well, take care of Pilica and Tamao, I know that they're back and they're staying for summer like usual… And for your precious fiancé Yoh, don't forget to pay attention to him, pay him some minds… get to know him… okay?
Love you, precious…
Mom.'
Anna tore the paper into pieces and then threw them to the trash can.
"Why would she do such a thing?" She said in rage.
"Who's she and what she does…?" A lazy voice came from her back.
"My mom… she's leaving for some business in America and now I have to take care of you…" Anna said without even looking back.
"Oh… what a day…" The voice replied.
Anna suddenly felt something jumping up side down in her stomach.
There was only one person who always said that quote.
She turned to her back and tried as hard as she could to not blush.
"A…Akira…" She mumbled.
And there he was, a tall, young, handsome boy with black hair and nice smile on his face, Nagisa Akira. He was Anna's very best friend since kindergarten but he moved several years ago and they never saw each other again ever since.
He smiled at Anna and walked to her gently.
"Still remember me, Anna-chan? Because I've grown so much and you've grown a perfect maiden yourself…" He said dramatically.
"I miss you so much!" Anna said, hugging Akira tight.
"It's been a long time since we last said good bye to each other, remember?" He asked softly.
"About three years, I think… Oh yes, three years…" Anna answered simply.
"Good morning!" A cheerful tone came from the door.
Yoh was sleepily walking toward Anna and Akira with unpleasant look on his face.
Anna, seeing that he seemed troubled, asked immediately,
"Are you okay, Asakura?"
Yoh seemed to be awake this time, and when he did, he looked to Akira and Anna. And it was obvious that he did not like Akira at all.
"It is Yoh, Anna-chan… and I think I am fine…" He smiled to Anna.
'Not again…' thought Anna. Something inside her jumping up and down again when she saw Yoh's smile.
Akira looked at Anna's face and something in him told him that Anna had some feelings for this Yoh person in front of them.
Anna, who did not want Yoh to get sick because she had duty to take care of him, went to the kitchen to get some medicines.
Akira then, waiting until Anna had gone to the kitchen, stayed in silence for a moment, looking at Yoh with disgust before he straightened himself to look as blasé as he thought he was and introduced himself to Yoh.
"Hi. I am Nagisa Akira, Anna's very best friend and her future boyfriend in the past, but I hope that I still am…so…nice to meet you." He said, after he made sure that Anna was out of sight.
"Oh, hi to you too! I am Asakura Yoh, Anna's fiancé…" Yoh said lazily.
Akira's jaw dropped at that moment. Feeling his heart was broken, he tried to cover it up.
"Oh… really?" He tried to sound tough. "Well then, just see who's going to win her heart first… you or me?"
Yoh, who wasn't even listening at him that time, yawned and went to the table, sitting on one of the chairs around the table.
"ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME!" Akira cried in rage.
"Hmmph…." It was all he could get for an answer.
After that, Anna came back to bring some medicine, found that Yoh was sleeping on the table, slapped him hard to wake him up, and did not notice that she was ignoring poor Akira for feeding Yoh the medicine.
The young, handsome boy seemed to feel revenge filling his heart.
"I'll get you back, Anna… I will…"
And then he left.
