Let Me Fall

Callista Miralni

Hey minna! Thanks for all of your encouraging reviews.

Recently, I found a Wikipeidia article on Shaman King. It gave me the last name of the Hanagumi and all sorts of good info.

However, since I have no intention of editing names, particularly last names, Kanna will just have the surname of Hanagumi, as will Mari and Macchi.

Also, please tell me in your reviews the answer to my question: Is Mari the girl with the pigtails? Or is she the girl with Baby Chuck? Ah, Mari and Macchi are just too similar at a glance...

Disclaimer: I don't own anything...


Anna, dressed in a creme color spagetti strap top and a pair of black Soffe shorts, climbed into bed, still in a huff over the ever engmatic Chancellor Goldva.

The man can't even give me a straight answer! Anna thought irratibly. When one had to deal with an irratated fifteen-year-old Senator, particularly this Senator, one best watch what answers you give to their queries.

Anna's mind then dwelled on the thought of a forbidden question...

Yoh.

He was outside her bedroom, staring at the stars on her balcony. Seeing him again wakened the long dormant feelings of affection and care that she rarely felt. Guaranteed, it was good to see him again, but Anna was surprised at how strong he had become while Yoh still retained his lazy habits.

Anna smiled softly. Ah, the memories of her giving Yoh, Ren, and Horo Horo laps, pushups, errands and housework when they were six.

Yesterday, it only felt like it was yesterday.

Yes, seeing Yoh at her door surprised her, but...

There really was no feeling to describe how Anna felt just then.

There is no point in dwelling over the subject. Anna scolded her self. Stop being irrational and get a grip! Asakura Yoh will never be nothing more than your friend... your best friend.

Anna sighed angrily, lay down, and fell fast asleep.


-Living Room-

"Amidamaru, I don't think that anything will happen tonight." Yoh remarked to his faithful samurai ghost who had been with him since his birth.

"But Lord Yoh, you swore you would keep Lady Anna safe." Amidamaru reminded his often forgetful master.

Yoh yawned and lay down on the couch. "Wake me up if something happens." Yoh murmured before falling asleep.

Amidamaru stared at his long time friend and master in disbelief. But then he smiled.

"Lord Yoh will always be Lord Yoh." he said to nobody in particular.


-Midnight-
-Outside the Senatorial Guest Hotel-

Kanna watched Senator Kyoyama just like the night before, given one more chance to kill her by her forgiving master.

In her hand she held a tube with two oversized poisonous silkworms. One bite will kill someone in ten minutes.

This will take care of that stubborn Senator.

Kanna crept quietly in her airspeeder towards the Senator's bedroom window. Carefully, she cut the glass and removed the pane.

The alarm didn't go off, just like before.

Gently, Kanna opened the tube and allowed the worms to drop on the floor of the bedroom. They quietly crawled away towards the Senator's sleeping form.

But just then, the ghost of a samurai glided into the room. Kanna held her breath, hoping the samurai wouldn't notice the silkworm assasins.

He soon glided out of the room.

Very soon, victory would be hers.


-Living Room-

"Lord Yoh wake up! Lord Yoh, please wake up! Lord Yoh, Lady Anna needs you right now!" Amidamaru pleaded to his sleeping master.

"I'm up, I'm up! What's going on?" Yoh said as he awakened sleepily.

"A circular pane of glass, cut perfectly, is missing from Lady Anna's bedroom window!" Amidamaru said panicking.

Yoh became fully awake at Amidamaru's frantic statement. He grabbed Harusame and softly said,

"Amidamaru! Into Harusame!" His oversoul formed.

Yoh dashed into Anna's bedroom, jumped on her bed and with one clean strike, Yoh sliced the two assasins in half.

"What the- Yoh? What's go-" Anna said, before falling silent at the dead bleeding worms beside her bed.

"Not now!" Yoh snapped, for he had caught sight of Kanna hurrying away.

Suddenly Amidamaru popped out of the oversoul and flew in pursuit of the fleeting Kanna.

"Anna-sama, daijobu desu ka?" Mei inquried worriedly after she had appeared by Anna's side.

"I'm fine Mei." Anna watched Yoh dash out of her suite, heading towards the airspeeder landing platforms on the 32nd floor.


I'm sorry this chapter's so short. Next time, I'll try to write a longer chapter.

So how did I do? Please submit your reviews and tell me!

Don't forget to answer the question I have at the top of the page!

Ja ne!
