It's been a week since Hao and Anna started living together…
When they were together alone, they were happy. More than happy. Both felt like flying through the sky.
But when they were at school, they felt terrible.
Not only that they weren't able to show their feelings. Hao and Anna had to pretend they don't like or hate each other. Besides that they had to be a VERY good actors for Yohs audition. For he was getting quite suspicious…
"She's changed" said Yoh to Hao one day, when they usually were at the canteen. "Who?" "Anna" Hao felt uncomfortable. Not only that he knew the reason. He WAS the reason. "In which way?" he asked, pretending that he was bored from talks about Anna. "She seems softer. And she doesn't slap me anymore" "Maybe she coupe with that you won't leave her after all" "No, it's not that. She's different. She's kinder" "Right…as if she'll ever be" Whit me she is thought Hao.
At that time Anna walked in the canteen with Tamao and Pirika. They were about two people in the school that didn't annoy Anna. If you're not counting Hao, that is. "Wow, Annas sooo hot" commented Yoh, whit admire in his eyes. Hao looked to Anna. She's the most beautiful, Yoh. Pity you cannot see her the way I can Hao thought with the smile on his face "She sure is" he said "but you cannot have her" "Why you're so sure?" Yoh asked suspiciously "Kinda think of it, you're different as well. You don't flirt with girls and, what is most important, you don't live at home" "What, you think that I'm with Kyouyama now?" Hao asked with tone in his voice. Not with disturbance that usually gives you out. "Are you?" Hao just laughed "Yoh, you're so naïve. Do you think I want to get killed. Jeez, you're the only one who's about to commit a suicide." Yoh laughed, nearly in with a relief. "You still hadn't told me who you're dating with." "You still hadn't find out" answered Hao and walked away.
Few days later, there were big posters all around, which said that there would be a disco dance next Friday…
"That sounds like fun" said Pirika whit excitement "we shall go, shall we?" she asked to Anna. "You and Tamao shall. I'm not" "But why?" Anna sighted "First, I don't want to. Second, I don't have anyone to go with" "What about Yoh Asakura? He seems to like you" asked Tamao carefully. "He's an arrogant jerk. I'll go with him if hell freezes over" "What about his brother, Hao?" "To that you know the answer"…
Through another break, when Anna was sitting at the canteen, Yoh approached her. "What is it this time, Asakura?" asked Anna completely pissed off. "I was wondering if I could have a seat at your table?" "Is that it?" "Well, yeah" "Fine" Yoh sat in front of her. There was a silence between them for sometime. Anna just drank her tea and Yoh just stared at her. "Anna, would you go to the dance with me?" Yoh asked suddenly. Anna pierced him with her cold, sharp gaze. That sent chills up Yohs back. "No" was a short answer. "But why?" "You ask why?" "Yeah. I don't understand. You don't even give me the chance to be your friend. Why are you being so cold to me?" Anna looked to him emotionless "You already asked that. And I told you why. I hate you" "Give at least one opportunity to prove that I can be different. Go to the dance with me" "To tell you the truth, Yoh, I'm already going with someone else. So, even if I wanted to, which I'll never want, I couldn't go with you" Anna said this without a single emotion in her eyes or face. She was as cold and thick as ice. Yoh sat in a kind of shock. Annas going with someone? Who the hell is that lucky one? "Who?" managed to ask Yoh. "You'll see" said Anna and walked away. With her, walked away Yohs last hopes to get her. But it wasn't it…
Back at Annas flat, now and Haos, they both sat on the sofa, in front of the fireplace. That was one of those wonderful evenings, which they would spend together. Talking or just sitting together, feeling each other. What else would they need.
"Anna" whispered Hao. "Yeah" "Would you go to the dance with me?" "Of course" "You think it's time?" Anna sat up and looked at him seriously "Hao, we can't go on like this. Pretending I hate you is the most terrible thing I ever done. Besides, I already told Yoh I'm going with someone" "How come I know it later that Yoh does?" "Well, he asked me first. I couldn't tell him I'm going with him, could I" Hao just smiled "Of course not" he kissed her. That was a soft kiss, that would make Annas heart feel free and loved. "I love you Anna" Hao whispered. Anna got confused. She never heard these four words before. That sounds so beautiful. More beautiful than any music. "I love you Anna" those words echoed in Annas head. She now understood she felt the same way. These words just woke up something in her. "I love you too" she answered silently. Than she kissed him. With passion. Hao answered the same way, not wanting to let go. His hands slid her delicate waist, pulling her nearer.
This night he wanted her too much. He just couldn't cope with his passion for her, his lust, his ant. And Anna didn't resist. She felt exactly the same way. She, who was so cold all her life, now burned with passion for this guy. This guy she disliked at first. Why? Because he was so much like other one. Yoh. And that other one was the one that could separate them.
But this night they don't care. They gave in into the swirl of their passion and lust…
