Next morning Anna got up earlier than usual and got her stuff packed. She done this with no joy, because she knew that these three days gonna be a horror to her…

Anna couldn't stop thinking about how she's going to act in front of Yoh. She had to be really careful, because of a secret she and Hao had from Yoh. A secret of broken promise. A secret…of forbidden love…

The door bell rang. Oh well, Anna. Collect yourself and go acting. Anna opened the door.

"Hi. Ready to go?" Yoh said cheerfully and shot a big sheepish smile. God I hate that smile of his.

"Yeah" Anna took one bag on wheels and locked the door behind her. Outside Anna saw that Yoh's with a brand new car.

"I didn't know you're driving" she said.

"Got my licenses a week ago. I love driving" he shot another happy smile. That made Anna more annoyed, but she calmed herself down and sat into the car.

After a half of hour driving in silence, Anna and Yoh reached Izumo. The village, as in every season, looked nice and welcoming. But not to Anna. Everything she saw around was as if she was driving on a road to hell. Even though three days with Yoh wasn't much, she saw it as an eternity. And it surely was.

"Is Keiko there?" Anna asked suddenly as they were on a forest road that isolated Asakura mansion from the village.

"No. Everyone's out. My parents are in Spain. They like spending there a winter. My grandparents are gone for the mountains. Hao's in LA" Yoh finished as if he didn't want anyone to know that at all. Anna smirked to herself. Wrong. He's now settling at Osorezan. Waiting for me to get out of this white hell.

"I see" the fact that they're going to be all alone scared her a bit, but she knew one thing… She can protect herself from Yoh. Than why to be afraid?

As afternoon came, Yoh and Anna (by Yohs annoying asking) took a walk. Yoh led Anna to the waterfall, which would turn to ice in a winter and now looked like falling ice stream. Anna knew this waterfall too well.

"When it's not frozen, you can go under it and hide there from a world" Yoh told her. Anna only nodded. If only you knew how many times me and Hao hid ourselves there from the world… Anna shake the though about Hao away.

"What's wrong?" Yoh asked as he saw a change of expression in her face. Anna cursed inside her thoughts.

"Nothing. I just remember how I use to come here when I was little. I use to hide there"

"Really? I didn't know you've lived here"

"You don't know much about me" answered Anna coolly. She turned around and slowly walked the path in a snow. Yoh followed her. They walked in silence for a while.

"Anna, tell me, did you meet with Hao after that time?" suddenly Yoh asked. He toughed a hurtful place. Anna stopped.

"You don't trust me?" she asked with no emotions in her face.

"I do. But I just want to know"

"Why?"

"Because… I'm jealous of you" this phrase made Anna laugh. That was a cold, hateful laugh.

"You? Jealous of me? Don't be silly, Yoh. You don't have a reason to be jealous. If you insist on knowing, than I'll say to you. No, we haven't met since then. Does that satisfy you?" To Annas surprise, Yoh suddenly hugged her. She felt a warmth of his body, but she didn't feel well. Anna felt as if she's been trapped into something unknown to her, into something that doesn't feel right…

"Yoh, let me go" she demanded. Anna feared that she could no longer stand his hug.

"No" only said Yoh.

"Yoh, don't make me hit you" she said dangerously.

"Anna, you can hit me a thousand times, but you still won't hit one thing out of me…love for you" Anna froze in Yohs embrace. What did he say? That can't be…

"What?" she managed to ask.

"I love you, my Anna" that was over it.

"I'm not your Anna!" the girl shouted and liberated from his embrace. "I'm nobody's. And don't you dare to call me like that again!" Anna slapped him hard. Yoh barely stood on his feet. He got his balance back quickly, grabbed Annas arm, pulled her to him and kissed her roughly. Anna had no choice but to answer it, because Yoh was making her lips stay pressed to his. They stood like this for a couple of minutes until Yoh finally broke off the kiss. Anna pushed him away.

"How(slap) dare(slap) you(slap) kiss(slap) me(slap) like(slap) this(slap)!" she slapped him one more time. Yohs cheeks were almost crimson red now. Anna turned around and quickly walked away, leaving Yoh in complete shock.

That day Anna didn't talk to Yoh. She even resisted on eating with him. In evening she received a phone call from Pirika.

"Hey, Anna. How's your holiday with Yoh?" Pirika seemed happy. That annoyed Anna very much, because she just couldn't stand when someone's happy around.

"Is 'a disaster' a right word to describe it?" she asked sarcastically.

"Why? Did he do anything to you?"

"How does the "kissing me through force" sound?"

"WOW! What did you do to him?"

"Beat the shit out of him of course" said Anna with annoyance in her voice. Now almost all people annoy me. Huh, wonder why…

"No I mean, what made him kiss you?" Anna wanted to slap her.

"How do I suppose to know"

"Ok. I see you're angry. So I have a great news for you. Me and Ren Tao are together!" Anna rolled her eyes. This world cannot get any worse.

"What a wonder. I mean, how did you see anything in him?"

"Oh don't be like that. He's cute. Especially when we're together alone"

"Oh yeah, right"

"And one more thing. Tammy's with that handsome guy from North. Horo-Horo" Great. Another fool. What the hell were they thinking!

"Is that all you anted to tell me?" Anna almost kept her angry voice collected.

"Yeah. Will you come to Osorezan this year?" Oh shit, don't tell me you're going as well.

"Yeah I plan to. Why?"

"Well, we're kinda thinking to go there too. If you're going alone than a company could be good for you" But since I'm not exactly alone…

"Do what you want. If we'll meet there, then let it be. I gotta go now. See you."

"Yeah, good luck for you" Pirika hung up. Now that's bad. Thought Anna. If those stupid idiots Horo and Ren are going to tell anything to Yoh, we're doomed. Anna fell on her bed and stared through the window. Hao…I missed you so much…
