Hi peoples…I know, I should be updating Journey to the West but no one's reviewing the darn thing and the idea for this story bothered me in my dreams… Again, all here are OOC…

Disclaimer: You know me…one of the many people who DON'T own Shaman King…

Chapter One: Anna

Soon Ren and Jun arrived. They were the latest ones who came to the church. Yoh greeted them at the entrance.

"Sorry we're late Yoh," Ren huffed.

"We came as soon as we heard about-" Jun began but Ren slapped his hand over Jun's mouth. He saw that Yoh looked away from them but then looked back at them.

"You have the invitations right?" he asked. Ren and Jun quickly pulled out a card that had a beautiful red and white rose drawn in a cross formation.

"Okay, you can go in," Yoh said stepping aside.

"But what about you?" Ren asked.

"I need to stay here for a while; I'm expecting someone," Yoh said. Ren nodded as he and his sister proceeded inside the church. Yoh sighed and walked across the empty halls; the sculptures of gargoyles staring at him. Yoh opened a door and entered the room, grabbing a chair and sitting down on it. Amidamaru then appeared beside him.

"Shouldn't you be there instead of here, Yoh-dono? Not only that, you lied," Amidamaru asked.

"I know, but it's hard for me, Amidamaru," Yoh replied thinking for a while. Amidamaru sighed and left him for the time being. After a long period of silence Yoh stepped out of the room and opened the church doors, almost every single person looking back at him. He could see that the priest was about to call him; so much for bad timing. Yoh walked down the aisle and stood up at the podium as he bit his lower lip and started a very long speech, remembering his last moments with her…

FLASHBACK

Yoh sat under a tree, his love, Anna, beside him. He looked at Anna, who was drifting off for a while. He sighed heavily.

'Anna looks so cute when she sleeps. Maybe I should take a small nap too,' he thought, Anna's eyes snapping wide open and glared at Yoh, only he too had fallen asleep. She shook her head and went shut her eyes again.

More than a few minutes later did Yoh hear a blood-curling scream. He snapped his eyes open startled by the scream and saw Hao who had a maniacal look on his face. He immediately did the double medium.

"When did you come back?" Yoh asked in bewilderment. Hao held up a knife, which was currently drenched with blood.

"Why I am here shouldn't matter to you." Hao replied jumping into the air and landing on the Spirit of Fire's hand.

"But what will matter is that we will meet again," Hao said pointing the blood-drenched knife at him before disappearing in a wall of flames.

"…Anna, wake up now, we need to go back…" Yoh began turning to her but he stopped as his eyes widened in horror, disengaging his double medium.

Anna, in a puddle of what seemed to be her own blood, lay lifeless before Yoh. Hao had stabbed her right in the stomach. He quickly ran to her. "Anna...Anna! Oh please don't be dead Anna…" He whispered it over and over again. Anna slowly opened her eyes and directed them at Yoh.

"Y-Yoh…" Anna whispered. Yoh gripped her hand tight.

"Anna…I thought I lost you…" he said smiling. Anna smiled back before slowly closing her eyes, saying, "I-I…love…" Her hand dropped out of Yoh's hand before she could finish the sentence. Yoh looked at his hand which was now in blood. He clenched it before crying out loud. Amidamaru tried to comfort him but Yoh shooed him away for a while, telling him to inform the others.

END FLASHBACK

After Yoh finished his speech he put a black rose in Anna's hands. She was in a black dress and from where Yoh was standing; she looked like she was asleep. He then asked everyone to bow their heads and pray. As he did it too, he saw Anna in front of the altar. Her eyes were blank as she started dancing, the black rose in her hands. Yoh looked at Anna's casket and saw that she was not there. He was starting to think he was hallucinating when he heard the footsteps of many. He shook his head violently and rubbed his eyes and then looked at the casket, where Anna lay there, still looking like she was asleep. He brushed off that creepy moment and put the plastic on top and closes the casket and grips the first handle on the left. Ren, Horohoro and Lyserg gripped on the other handles.

"Are you sure you're going to be okay? You might catch a cold while you're out there," manta asked.

"What do you mean catch a cold, Manta?" Yoh asked.

"If you didn't notice, Yoh, while we were bowing our heads and praying it started to rain," Lyserg explained.

"I didn't notice at all…" Yoh mumbled.

"On three then…" Horohoro said as they counted to three and carried the casket out of the church and into the rain where a hearse and crowds of people were waiting at the bottom of the stairs, Manta with an umbrella following slowly. As they finally reached the bottom, they put the casket in the hearse and watched it drive slowly. Ren and Horohoro walked to Ren's limousine as it followed the hearse with Manta's car following suit.

"What about you Yoh?" Lyserg asked.

"I have no ride so I might as well walk there," Yoh said.

"You're walking without an umbrella?" Lyserg yelled.

"Don't worry Lyserg. Everything will be alright," Yoh said, smiling.

"Okay then…" Lyserg said and ran to a bus to the graveyard where Anna would be buried, which was Funbari hill (Yoh didn't go because he didn't have any money so he walked across the street).

"Oh where is he?" Ren said tapping his foot impatiently. Everyone, ghost and shaman, was already at Funbari hill. All were there…except for Yoh.

"He said he was going to walk here," Lyserg informed him.

"I'll go and find…" Horohoro began as Amidamaru suddenly appeared.

"Ren, Horohoro, Lyserg! It's Yoh, he fainted!" he exclaimed.

"Well show us the way!" Ren said as Amidamaru took them to the gate of Funbari hill, where they saw Yoh on the ground, breathing short and fast. Ren quickly ran to him and touched his forehead but jerked it back as soon as he touched him.

"He's burning up. We need to get him to the hospital," Ren said looking at Horohoro, Lyserg and Amidamaru. Then the sudden sound of a vehicle rushing was heard. Ren looked up and saw Ryu on his motorcycle.

"What happened to Yoh-dono!" he asked.

"No time to explain Ryu just take him to the hospital now!" Ren said as he immediately took yoh and drove away to the hospital.
