Inspired by the song 'Yubiwa', sung by Yamashita Tomohisa, I present to you another one-shot, Girl With The Ring. It's on Yoh/Anna/Hao, under Hao's POV… I hope you like it! (It's kind of short though….) Remember to review! (grins) Ooh, I'm a real loser…

One-shot: Girl With The Ring

It was infuriating, and hard to see the girl I loved getting all chummy with my younger twin, Asakura Yoh, and the fact that they were engaged aggravated me even more. I hated it whenever Yoh acted like a fool, a complete dunce, but still got all of her attention. No matter how stupid he was, or how badly he got beaten up by her because he annoyed her, at the end of the day, she would still be by Yoh's side, caring for him in her own way.

On the other hand, whatever I did irritated her, and everyday, without fail, she would slap me for something I've done, whether it was a good thing, like sending her flowers that complimented her hair, or bad things, like wrecking her house. I don't know why I even bothered to pay attention to someone like her; I just loved her.

Why would the great and powerful Asakura Hao do so much for a simple girl like her? I didn't know. Neither did anyone else, or her, for that matter. There was something in her that made me want her very badly, and that desire just got stronger each day.

I really didn't get it; Yoh and I are twins, and we look identical, except that my hair was longer, so what was it that set Yoh and I apart? What was it that made her choose Yoh, a stupid, carefree, laughing boy, over the powerful Asakura Hao?

I continued to tell myself that as long as they didn't marry, I still stood a chance. And I'll do whatever it takes to steal her away from Yoh. But, Yoh defeated me.

I was crushed when I saw them one day, holding hands, wearing the same, identical ring.

A side of me wanted to run over, pull them apart, take the ring off her finger, and kill Yoh right then, but the other side of me, that softer, sentimental side of me, reminded me that if I did that, she would be heartbroken.

The thought of her being heartbroken because of something I did…

It broke my heart.

So, I held back the urge to murder Yoh, to destroy their happiness, and to claim her for my own.

They got married.

I'll never get her.

Not then.

Not now.

And definitely not in the distant future.

I'll never get Kyouyama Anna…

The girl with the ring.
