It was more than two weeks since the breacking news...
And Hao felt as if something from inside is tearing him appart...
Same felling was inside Anna as well. Only worse. Not even she had to say goodbye to the only person in the world she loved, she had to marry the one she hated. Anna couldn't cope with herself. Al the time she wanted to run to Hao, hug him, kiss him, feel him... But every time she stopped herself from that. She just killed that wish like she use to kill her emotions...
Hao couldn't even look to her. Because when he did, he would want to have her near him, to sence her presence, to feel her scent... But he gave his word. And an Asakura traditions have never been broken before... But Hao thought that if he'll not break them, they would break him.
Yoh didn't know how to feel. He was still mad at Hao. Actually, at school they sat as far away from each other as they could. They didn't talk, didn't look at each other. But Yoh felt happy that he'll get the most beautiful girl in the world. And the thornyest one, as well. I love her alright. But will she love me?.. Yoh was a good hearted guy and he felt lonely without his brither, that was very close to him. He wanted to put up with Hao, but also he wanted him to suffer, a bit at least.
Hao had been living at Izumo every since he moved from Annas flat. He felt lonely here. Without Anna everything seemed dark and grey.
A cold autumn weather crept upon him. Hao shudered from it. It's so cold without Anna... He was sitting under the night sky and looking to the stars. His horse he was riding browsed across the field. Tonight was supposted to be a meteo shower. Hao was waiting for this a long time so he could show it to Anna. But that day wasn't ment to come. Nor any day after that. The guy straightened himself on a cool grass and watched the stars. Now they really look like Anna. And feel like her. Cold and distant, but beautiful and amazing...
Suddenly Hao heard and felt hooves, closing to his diection. He sat up and saw a horse in the distance. And someone on it. Hao recognised the horse. It was a beautiful chesnut mare from Asakura resident's stables. But he didn't recognised the rider. Something was familiar though. As the couple draw nearer, Haos heart began to skip one beat. Is that?.. No, she couldn't possibly... But Haos eyes didn't betrayed him. When horse with it's master stopped, Hao recognised. Anna. She got of the horse and looked to Hao...
In the light of the moon, she looked like she wasn't from this world. So beautiful she was. Her body was hugged with tight black pants, black ridding boots and tight black sweater. Her blonde hair was shining like a gold. Anna walked to Hao and kissed him with passion. Hao answered the kiss the same way. His arms wrapped around her delicate waist, pulling her as close to his body as possible. After a few minuted they broke off the kiss. „You should not have came here. They would kill us for this" Anna only sighted „If i wouldn't kiss you, I still would die" Hao hugged her, sanking his face into her soft, silky hair. The smell was so comforting to him. „I love you" he whispered to her ear „I love you too" she answered silently.
They sat down. Anna sat on Haos lap, placing her head on his chest. Anna could feel Haos arms wrap around her waist. She felt so wonderfull and comfortable now. Feeling his presence so close, kissing his lips, smelling his scent made Anna soft from inside and this softness was focused only on Hao.
Hao felt like happiest man on Earth. He had his dream girl, his beloved Anna with him. And what more can person want? He felt Annas heart beat slow and calm. His heart beated the same way. And the rhythm was exactly the same. Their hearts beated by love.
„Anna. Look" Hao whispered. Anna rised her gaze and saw a thausands of stars falling in the sky. „Make a wish" he whispered to her ear. Anna closed her eyes. So did Hao. As they opened eyes again, they knew what they wished for...
The night was cold, but two hearts that beated as one and were together didn't feel that. They enjoyed the night together. What they didn't know is that their whishes and dreams were meant to be come true...
