Chapter five: resolution
Yoh reads once more time the letter and his tears run once more. He listens someone knock on the door but does not rise to open it. He wants to be alone. Why that does it thus make him so badly? He doesn't understand. She was the only able to explain him! He has to understand, finds her and forces her to explain! Making strong by his new resolution, he finally stands up, after several days without moving, and his legs wavers under his weight before enables him to find a certain balance. Then he makes slide the door, and leaves the house without saying a word, without answering the calls of his friends. He does not know yet where to seek her, but he knows that it would end up joining her. It was the only solution. When he has threaded his preferred sandals, he leaves under the rain. A flash streaks the sky, but Yoh does not shake any more. His face, become hard and sinks, does not let more anything appear of his usual kindness. The rain softens him quickly, and he runs under the rain, without really knowing where he goes, like if an invisible force guides him, which would makes he arrives near her. His soaked hair frame his face, masking it half under the brown wicks. He runs thus to a warehouse, apparently empty. However, She was there. He knows it, feels it in his flesh. He does not have an other choice, even if the pain would be terrible if she confirm her statements. He would only remain to him to put an end to his days, because he could not live without Her. It is inconceivable. He opens the door of the hangar and waits until his vision be accustomed to the half-light.
Anna once again goes up her knees under her chest, seeking a more comfortable position. A noise on the floor catches her attention a few moments before she sink again in her torpor. Probably the idiots who retains her captive beat they to know what it would do of her later. Why isn't he still there? Does the doubt also catch him on its perfidious and thorny arms? She knows that her kidnappers has left a word to his intention, but she can not believe that he can think one second what was written on the paper. After all, love, is it not to make confidence with the other, knowing him or her unable to mislead? And yet, herself still doubts her feelings, then why not him? He has right not to understand, to make him films, where he would be the victim where the person in charge, according to what he prefers. Would he come to seek her? Then the noise swells, approaching the tiny room where she was lock up. A noise stronger than the others, against the door, make her start, and the door slid, wounding her eyes with the little light still filtering piece contiguous to her tiny room. A figure is embedded in the door, a hard shade, from where a form of fear and misfortune emanates. Of sadness and pain too. Only the eyes of this man are visible, and they are filled of resentment and anger. The hair, leave floating, frame the face of the man. She knew him. Hao? What does he come to make here? Then he enters, and she recognizes him finally.
-You spent your time, said she with irony.
She desires to rise to tighten him in her arms, but she falls down, her legs being still too weak to carry her.
Yoh leans to disfigure her, then fall to knees and tightens her in his arms. He fears that she does push back him away from her, last trace of the fear which he has tested these last days, but the presence of this men outside has convinced him that his suspicions were not well-founded. She loved him, too. The girl, initially surprised, let herself go to a pressure which last an eternity, then the young shaman poses his hand on the neck of the girl and their lips meet for the first time. They have never had yet the courage to acknowledge their feelings, so extreme were they, and they are let go this time to the pleasure of their meeting, with the delight of knowing their shared feelings. The sweetened taste of the girl's lips are printed forever in Yoh's heart , and he release her to take a breath, before she attracts him for a new pressure.
-I have had so much fear, entrusts she.
-Me too, he acknowledged. I really believe that you have left me.
-How could you only think it? I love you Yoh, and nothing will change it.
