Chapter 6

Anna Kyouyama opened her eyes. She was lying in bed in a huge hospital ward, the smell in the air a mixture of pungent floor polish and bleach. She felt a dull pain in her right arm.There was a teenage boy sitting on a chair next to her bed, his brown hair messy, a triumphant smile on his face. He was desperately in need of a shave.

"Yoh?" she said, rubbing her eyes in disbelief. Hao, Ren and Horo Horo came in through the double doors at the end of the ward, all holding bunches of flowers and get well cards.

"Anna!" Yoh said. She threw her arms round his neck and they kissed, a lingering, passionate kiss she wanted to last forever. When they finally broke apart, Yoh spoke.

"I knew you'd wake up. They wouldn't believe me, but I told them, she will wake up. And you did. Anna Kyouyama, I love you!"

"Yoh, I love you too!" Anna said, tears streaming down her cheeks and making the bedsheets wet. The other patients were all staring at them and smiling, one or two older women muttering "Young love". She noticed a flicker of jealousy cross Hao's face for a fleeting moment. Him and the two other males walked over to her bed, looking slightly surprised that she had woken up.

"My laptop..." she murmured. "Bring me my laptop, Yoh." He nodded and walked out of the ward. Horo Horo started to ask herstupid questions and Hao disappeared to buy some chocolate. Ren had apparently gone to the toilet, but she had more important things to worry about.She set about answering Horo Horo's pointless questions while waiting for Yoh to come back. About fifteen minutes later he arrived back from Anna's house, carrying her laptop. He dumped it on her lap. Something clicked in her mind suddenly.

"Yoh, what's the date today?" she asked. He gestured to a calendar someone had left on the table next to her bed. It was covered in pictures of cartoon cats with huge cheesy smiles. "It's from Chocolove," Yoh said grimly. "Where did he get such a disgusting calendar!"

Anna laughed and opened it, flicking through numerous pages with days crossed off. She came to September. It was September the twelfth.

"September the...? That means...Yoh...you've been here for three weeks?" she said, surprised. He nodded. A single tear escaped her eye. It wasn't much, but it was enough for Yoh. She appreciated it. She pressed the On button of the laptop and clicked on the word processing program. She opened a document and passed the computer to Yoh. He read the first page aloud.

"How to Torture Your Fiancé...My Relationship With a Shaman, Anna Kyouyama," he read. Everyone laughed. Anna blushed. His eyes went from side to side as he scrolled through the pages. For the first time in his nineteen years, Yoh Asakura cried.

"Anna...this is beautiful.." he said, touched. She smiled and hugged him. By this time Ren and Hao had come back and were fighting over the laptop.

"Oh, by the way, Anna, I sometimes talked to you when you were in the coma," Yoh admitted. "You never reacted, but I don't suppose it got through anyway?"

"Oh, it got through all right," Anna said thankfully, thinking of the times in her dreams where Yoh had spoken to her, the times when she had felt phantom kisses from nobody. "It got through."
