Chapter1-Mr. Brightside?

Yoh's POV

"Ever get one of those hard to explain kind of feelings when you're close to someone you like, or maybe even love(not those kinds of feelings you pervs!)?" asked a magazine I was reading. Of course I feel that way about a special someone, and her name is Anna Kyouyama. My fiancee. Sure, she may act like she totally hates me sometimes, but that's just Anna for you. "The Ice Queen". Each and everyday I think about her, how beautiful she is and how graceful she is when she moves...even when she is bickering at me. The kind of things we face that usually forms a gap between a couple doesn't affect us at all. Why you may ask? I don't even know. Maybe it's because we're not exactly dating or maybe it's because of the 'Everything will work out' attitude of mine. But whatever it is, I'm glad it's there. I guess that's why I'm nick-named "Mr. Brightside". Kinda lame don't you think?

Finally bored of talking to myself, I walked out of my room and made my way downstairs. While I was walking, a conversation with Horo and Ren suddenly popped into my mind.

Flashback( Normal POV )

"So how are you and Anna doing?" asked Horo giving Yoh a perverted smile.

Yoh turned around and looked at the Ainu blushing. "Wh..what do you mean?"

"You know what I mean. How far have you guys gone? Has she given you a bl...OUCH! What's the big idea Ren?" Horo yelled as he was cut off by a punch.

The chinese shaman glared at the blue haired idiot. "How about we leave Yoh's personal life the friggin' hell alone? How would you like it if we pestered you about your relationship with Tamao?"

" Well excuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me! At least I'm in a relationship with a girl Mr. I'm-too-busy-training-to-get-a-girlfriend!"

Ren crossed his arms and looked at Horo. "Well for your information, I am in a relationship with someone and he is quite sweet thank you very much."

Noticing what Ren had just said Horo and Yoh stared wide eyed. Ren turned ten shades of red as he realised what he had blurted out."AHH! I MEAN...I...ah forget it. If you're wondering who it is, it's Lyserg ok? Go ahead yuck it up."

To Ren's surprise, Yoh and Horo didn't seemed to care at all. Yoh went over and put his arm around his friend's shoulders. "Ren, we're your friends, there's no need for you to feel embarassed to tell us things like that. You're still you. The good friend that Horo and I have."

"Yeah dude." agreed Horo

"Er...Thanks guys." Ren said under his breath. ' This is kinda embarassing...'

"Speaking of liking other guys," Horo began. "how come you and Anna aren't dating?"

Not noticing that Horo had just dissed Anna and himself, Yoh answered his question. "I dunno. I guess I just don't wanna rush things. Know what I mean?"

Ren nodded. "But still, you can't go on hiding your feelings like that. Someone can just come by a sweep her away anytime."

Yoh gave his two shaman friends his trademark smile. "Nah, I wouldn't worry about it, eveything will be alright. Heehee."

Horo cocked his head to the side."Heh. Typical Mr. Brightside."

End of flashback

Back to Yoh's POV

Great. This is just great, now I'm worried. What if she is in love with someone else! Or even worse, what if she's dating someone and I haven't a clue about it? I sighed while pondering this. Now it's really getting to me! I guess I shouldn't jump to conclusions just yet, I mean everything will be okay, right? But still, as hard as I try, the thought continues to nag at me at the back of my head. I can't just bury it away. God, Anna I want you so badly to myself...

Coming out of my cage

And I've been doing just fine

Gotta gotta be down

Because I want it all

I wonder what's Anna doing right now. Anna...Damn! There I go again. Fantasizing about her. Could this be like a sign or that I should tell her how I feel? Dammit this feels like the time at school during exams when I didn't know the answers to a multiple choice section on the sheet. And guess what I did? I LEFT THEM BLANK! And I would've passed if I had just studied for that section! Except in this case, I have a 50/50 chance of passing depending on my answer. In other words, if I screw up then our relationship goes down hill. Hmph! You know what? I'm gonna tell her! No more procrastinating! I'm gonna run down and tell her exactly how I feel! I'm coming for ya Anna!

Heh heh she gonna be so shocked when I...what the? That sounds kind of like Anna giggling. But how? Why? She never giggles! Something definitely is wrong! I ran into the kitchen so fast that I probably setted the floor on fire.

"ANNA! ARE YOU AL...right?" I said, terrified at the sight before me. She was with 'him'.

"Yoh! I can explain!" she gasped while trying to hide the fact that she was kissing my goddamn twin.

I cannot believe this! And here I thought Anna had more self-respect than that. It felt like my heart was ripped out and stomped on right in front of my face.

"Yoh...?" There she goes again with that concerned look.

I just couldn't bear it any longer. Confirmed that I lost my love, I ran out of the kitchen like a coward. I couldn't help but let out all my sadness and frustration by crying. I'm such a loser.

It started out with a kiss

How did it end up like this?

It was only a kiss

It was only a kiss...
