"YOHHH!" screamed the itako.
"Don't worry Anna. I'm making dinner right now," Yoh sighed.
He couldn't get Horohoro's advice out of his mind. Could he really get Anna to fall for him with a body spray for men? Even if it worked, would it work on 'Anna'? Impossible! Anna? Acting in such a … sexual way! Yoh shook the thought out of his head.
Yoh walked over the stove and put on the apron and got cooking. Anna silently watched a few moments before walking off into the guest room, watching her daily soap operas. Several minutes later, dinner was ready.
"Dinner's ready Anna!"
Yoh waited for Anna to come, but she didn't come out from the guest room. Curios, Yoh walked over to the guest room to tell Anna dinner was ready. She must've not heard him over the t.v.
"Hey Anna! Dinner's-…"
Yoh eyes bulged. All he could remember was walking towards the guest room and then he saw it. Once he stuck his head into the room, he saw Anna sitting her regular position watching soap operas and his eyes shifted towards the television. There was a couple making out. Tongue and tongue. Saliva mixed. Hands flying all around each other's bodies.
Right after Yoh witnessed the make-out session, Horohoro's advice immediately kicked in and other dirty thoughts swarmed his mind. He looked over at Anna and how she laid there on the ground. (XD PERVERTEDNESS!) Just then, Anna turned around feeling the heated gaze she got from Yoh. She switched the t.v. off and got up. Yoh suddenly realized the way he was staring at her and slightly blushed and looked away from Anna's eyes.
"Umm… d-dinner's ready." Yoh said quietly.
Anna gave Yoh a weird look but simply shook it off and passed by Yoh into the kitchen. As soon as Anna was out of the room, Yoh gave a relieved sigh and wiped his sweating forehead. 'Damnit Yoh! After she caught you staring at her, she'll think you're a pervert!" Yoh cried. (Anime tears) So far things weren't working so well trying to get Anna with him
"Yoh, where are you?"
Yoh snapped out of it and quickly rushed into the kitchen.
"I'm here Anna!" Yoh said scratching the back of his head.
Anna narrowed her eyes towards Yoh.
"What were you doing," Anna accused suspiciously.
"N-nothing. Nothing at all."
Anna gave Yoh one last look and then went back to slowly eating her rice. Yoh sat down and joined in. Every now and then, Yoh would steal a glance at Anna and Anna would Yoh a give a what-are-you-looking-at look. Of course, Yoh didn't stop. So Anna decided to compliment him with nothing else better to do. At least, this would distract Yoh from staring at her for a while.
"Tonight's dinner is exceptionally good."
Yoh looked into her eyes, breaking out of his reverie.
"R-Really? You think so?"
Anna nodded her head. She didn't want to say it again. It's not her fault that Yoh can't take a compliment and believe it at the same time.
"Thanks." Yoh said shyly.
They both silently went back to eating until Yoh spoke again. The silence was awkward and uncomfortable.
"Hey Anna."
"Hm?"
A pause.
"You know … you're beautiful."
Anna looked up at Yoh surprised. She dropped her chopsticks which fell onto the floor. Yoh watched as her chopsticks dropped with a clutter. Time went by so slowly as the chopsticks fell onto the floor.
Yoh didn't know what else to do or say. So he decided to be a gentleman and walked over to the other side of the table to where Anna sat, still shocked and picked up her chopsticks.
Anna then looked at Yoh with wide eyes. She slowly started to calm down as her freak-out meter was decreasing.
"What are you doing…?"
Yoh thought about what she said. What exactly was he doing? It hit him like a ton of bricks when he realized that he said that the Ice Queen, Anna Kyouyama, was beautiful. Now he started panicking. But he thought to himself, 'Now wait. I called Anna beautiful. I should kill myself for this before Anna gets a chance to. Why didI just say that? Maybe, it's because what I said is true. She is beautiful. Or.. I take it back and make her feel that she is not beautiful and I'm just a cruel, mean person who messes around with her by calling her and beautiful and then say Oop, you're not!
Yoh gulped and bravely stated, "What are you talking about?"
Anna looked at Yoh angrily now.
"What do you mean 'What am I talking about?' You know what I'm talking about!"
Yoh smirked.
"Why now, I really don't know what you're talking about. Stop speaking in riddles."
Anna looked at Yoh more surprised than ever. 'Why was he acting so differently? I'm not the one speaking in riddles. He is! Why all of a sudden he sounds so smooth with words. And that smirk. He almost reminds me of Hao. What is Yoh up to?'
"Fine. Two can play at that game."
"What game, my dear?"
Anna paused.
She wasn't expecting him to go along with this so calmly. Normally, Yoh would freak out and sweat a dangerous amount. 'He was acting like Yoh just a few minutes ago, and now he's a smooth talker. And somewhat a little attractive. Wait.. What am I saying? Me? Find Yoh..? Attractive!'
Anna was going to have to play this little game of his better to make Yoh panic a little himself. So Anna got up and came dangerously close to Yoh's body. This is when Anna could see fear starting to form in his eyes.
'Gahh! What is she doing! Is she going to kiss me? Okay Yoh, I think it's time to retreat!'
"U-Uh…. I'll wash the dishes! You can go to bed. 'Night Anna!" Yoh spoke quickly. He grabbed their bowls and chopsticks and brought them to the sink. Anna smirked. She decided that she should leave him alone. What had happened was enough… for today. Anna walked away confidently but not before leaving a few words hanging in the deafening silence.
"Round one: I win."
