Chapter 9: Listen to Your Heart

Finally, the day came for Anna to leave. She and Hao haven't talked to each other since the lagoon incident, which was three days ago.

Now, they sit uncomfortably next to each other in the crowded car. They couldn't even look at each other.

"Anna, I wish you would stay a bit longer," Keiko said through developing tears, "You're beginning to feel like family."

"That's nice to know." The blond replied sulkily. She wasn't in the mood to talk. During the three months at the Asakura Mansion, she felt so comfortable and at home.

I know there's something in the wake of your smile.
I get a notion from the look in your eyes, yea.
You've built a love but that love falls apart.
Your little piece of heaven turns too dark.

They drove on in silence until they reached the airport.

Listen to your heart
when he's calling for you.
Listen to your heart
there's nothing else you can do.
I don't know where you're going
and I don't know why,
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye.

"Here, Anna. Let me help you." Yoh said. He then shot a glare at his brother, "Aren't you gonna help us, Hao?"

"Huh? Oh, yeah, of course." He shuffled over, never looking at Anna.

'What's wrong with him?' Anna thought as she walked behind Keiko and Mikihisha.

Sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile.
The precious moments are all lost in the tide, yea.
They're swept away and nothing is what is seems,
the feeling of belonging to your dreams.

"Well, here we are. Gate C17. Everybody give her your gifts!" Yoh yelled.

Anna was surprised that they would even bother to buy her anything.

Keiko gave her a diamond watch. Mikihisha gave her a silver bracelet that came with gold earrings.

Yoh, on the other hand, gave her something that almost frightened the hell out of her.

"Here, Anna!" He said happily as he shoved a bag of water into her hands.

"What in the world is this?" she asked as she examined the bag. There was a tiny fish in it, "You gave me a fish to- AHH!"

The tiny fish had expanded to five times its normal size.

Yoh laughed sheepishly, "It's a blowfish."

"Well, thank you for the . . . thing." Anna said after she calmed down.

Finally, it was Hao's turn to give her a present.

"Here." He put it in her hands, "Don't open it here. Do it on the plane."

"Oh, alright." She was anxious to see what's inside of it. She then looked at Hao. 'His eyes . . . there so . . . emotional.'

Suddenly, Hao pulled her into a tight hug. She gasped at the close proximity.

"I'm going to miss you a lot, Anna. I've had a great time with you." He said. He was close to tears.

"Yeah. Me, too." She said as she hugged him back.

They stayed like that for what seems like hours before they broke off.

"Will I ever see you again?" Hao asked her.

"I don't know, Hao. But I hope so."

"All Passengers on the flight to San Francisco, California please board right now."

"I have to go now, ok?" She went back to the others and hugged them, then left for the plane.

Hao turned around and walked to his family, but suddenly remembered something, and turned and ran towards the plane.

"Anna! Anna, I forgot!" He yelled as he searched for her, but she already went into the plane. He hung his head. "I forgot to ask for you number."

This time, he let his suppressed tears blur his sight. "Anna."

On The Plane

Anna found her seat next to this old guy and sat down.

She sighed. She felt so sad and depressed. Then she noticed Hao's gift and decided to open it.

The wrapping was very soft to the touch. There were many layers of it, but she finally got to the gift.

There it was, the frame with the family of bears that Anna saw on the day that Hao took her to the mall.

And there are voices
that want to be heard.
So much to mention
but you can't find the words.
The scent of magic,
the beauty that's been
when love was wilder than the wind.

And for the first time since the death of her parents, Anna's eyes filled with tears.

There was a note in the daughter bear's hand. She picked it up and read it.

It read:

Dear Anna,

I hope you like my present. After I had escaped from the mob of my fans, I saw you looking this. You seem pretty interested in it, so three days ago, I remembered and bought it for you.

I'm so depressed that you're leaving me. There's something that I need to tell you. I've been trying to tell you for ages, but don't have enough courage to actually say it.

So here's my last chance. If I don't do it now, I'll never do it.

I love you.

Anna stared at those three words. She could not believe her eyes. He really did love her. When he had kissed her, he wasn't playing with her feelings at all. It was the real thing. More tears came up as her regrets grew.

I found out right before I left to buy your present. You may not feel the same for me. I understand. You may already have a boyfriend waiting for you, but I don't care. I will always miss you. You will always be in my heart.

Always,

Hao

"Hao," She said. It's been a long time since she had said his name. It felt so good to finally say it, "I . . . I love you, too."
