Listen to Your Heart

Chapter One: First MeetingsA girl of about 13 walked across the broad lawn of the Asakura Mansion.
She had wheat-blond hair, topped with a red bandana covered with terrible family history. Her beautiful face was masked with a cold, emotionless expression.
This girl's name was Anna Kyoyama, and she was the world's number one Ice Queen.
Almost every one was scared of her. It's not her fault that she has to act like and Ice Queen; she's just seen more than other people have in their whole life.
Anna knocked on the massive doors.
It opened to reveal an old man, possibly the butler, considering his uniform.
"Hello. May I help you with anything?" he said
"Yes. My name is Anna Kyoyama. I'm here on a request to train Mr. Yoh Asakura." She said.
The butler looked at her bemusedly, "I would think that Miss Anna would be a bit older than you. Do you have your papers of agreement?" (A/N: They're the papers that asked her to come train Yoh. I just couldn't find the right words.)
The girl took out her papers and showed them to him. Well, it was more like shoving them in his face.
He looked at them, then at her and smiled.
"Well, I guess you are Anna Kyoyama. Follow me, please."
She followed him into a giant library. It contained millions of books, and probably took up three stories. Her eyes landed on a lady in her mid-forties, reading peacefully on an armchair, and a man, whose probably the lady's husband.
The butler cleared his throat, making them both look up.
"Well hello, Charles. Who's this young lady?" the woman said kindly.
"Sir, Ma'am, this is the lady you hired to train Mr. Yoh. Miss Anna, this is Keiko and Mikihisha Asakura lord and lady of the Asakura Mansion. Mr. and Mrs. Asakura, this is Anna Kyoyama."
Anna bowed respectively. "A pleasure meeting you ma'am, sir."
"Oh, you can call me Keiko. I never really liked formality. Come. I'll give you a tour of the place." The lady said warmly.
Anna followed Keiko around, listening to her describe the place.
"this place was abandoned when we came here. Humans thought there were ghosts here. There were, and still are. That's Rikihota," she pointed to a spirit that looked somewhat like a chubby raccoon, "he was slaughtered in this mansion about three hundred years ago. It took us a long time to calm him, because he thought that we were descendants of his murderer, for some reason. He calmed when we persuaded him that we weren't his murderer's descendants. Nowadays he's pretty useful to have around."
"And what exactly does he do around here?" Anna asked in an icy tone.
"Oh, he cooks. An excellent one, too."
"Well, he'll have a lot of days off while I'm here."
"Well, you can cook too, Anna. That would be a change in meals."
Anna shook her head, "No, I won't be cooking, Keiko. Your son will be cooking."
Keiko stopped and turned towards Anna. "But Yoh can't cook, Anna."
"I'll teach them to." She answered simply.
Keiko nodded and continued talking.
"I guess that'll be fine. So, tell me about yourself, Anna."
"There's nothing much to tell. When I was five my parents were murdered right in front of me. I was then raised by a woman named Kino and her husband, Yohmei. I've been training until last year. Now I am a fully qualified Itaku."
"An Itaku! Wow, I haven't seen one of those for decades! Well, an Itaku will definitely train my son to become the world's greatest Shaman, right? Anyways, would you like to meet my son?"
"Sure."
The two went back inside, up the grand staircase, turned right, and Keiko finally knocked on the door to the right.
"Yoh, dear! There's someone I want you to meet!"
"I'm tired, mom! Can they come back tomorrow?" a voice spoke from the other side of the door.
Anna was already annoyed with this boy. He was a lazy bum!
"You will come out right now, Yoh Asakura! I should make you do double the work for that." She called out harshly.
The door finally opened to reveal a boy of around her age with short messy hair. A pair of earphones was placed right behind his ears. But the thing that annoyed Anna the most was that he was only wearing a pair of blue sweatpants. He was topless.
"And put on a shirt!" she added.
"Yes, ma'am!" Yoh raced around his messy room, looking for a proper shirt to wear.
'Great. Another one that's scared of me.' Anna thought bitterly. She kept a straight face, however.
"Well, us girls will be going, Yoh. Do you know when Hao will be back?" Yoh's mother asked.
"No, I don't know." Yoh said while searching for something.
Keiko sighed. "Let's just hope that he comes home soon. Come on, Anna. I'll show you your room."
What do you think so far? I'm waiting for some reviews before I post my next chapter. Read and Review, please!
