Chapter Eleven: The Woman Of Len's Heart.

June used a wet cloth against the young girl's forehead. The poor girl had been found near a tree badly beaten as though she had fallen out of it.

Len had found her when he was out walking and came back with her. June and Anna took her upstairs to June's room. And ever since, June has been taking care of her.

She looked at the young girl, her glasses were gone and Yoh and Trey were out there looking for them. June though was trying to figure out why someone would hurt her? She was no threat to anyone so why hurt her?

June got up and decide to go downstairs for a while, she hopped that Thomasina would wake-up soon.

June walked down the steps to the dining room of the Inn of this village, Yoh and Trey were sitting with the others and by the look on their faces they had found nothing.

"How is she?" Yoh asked his eyes looking tired.

"Still hasn't woken up yet, but I have cleaned up all the wounds on her, the one on her head though is going to take some time to heal." June told them.

Len looked down at his hands, and then he got up and left the room.

June watched her brother leave the room."What's wrong with Lenny?" she asked looking back at Yoh.

Yoh shrugged."I don't know but I do know I am going to go to bed." he got up and left the room too.

Trey, Rio, Morty did the same. The only person left was June and Anna.

Len sat at June's bed, looking at Thomasina. She looked deathly pale and black rings were appearing beneath her eyes. Her cuts and wounds were bandage but all Len could think of was what happened?

He reached out and took a hold of her hand and held it."Wake-up soon you; I don't need somebody else to die." Len whispered to her, leaning his face forward, he gently brushed her lips with his. He laid his head down on the bed, and sat there close by her hopping she would wake-up soon.

June came in around three in the morning, Thomasina was still sleeping and her brother Len was lying on the bed beside her, holding her hand. June thought it was a sweet sight and decided to leave the room. She would go and sleep in Anna's room for now.

Len was sleeping peacefully when he heard a blood-curling scream.

"ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Thomasina sat upright in her bed fighting and screaming trying to get 'Him' away from her.

Len fall off the bed and stood up quickly, grabbing a hold of her hands he tried to make her calm down but she kept fighting him. He soon realised it was her dreams she was fighting not him.

"Thomasina! THOMASINA!" Len screamed at her, he shook her awake.

She stared at him, her eyes filled with fear, tears were now falling from her eyes and she just looked at him.

"L...Le...Lenny?" she asked her voice a whisper.

Len nodded to her. Hoping she was ok now.

She hugged him tightly, her face buried in his chest, she clung to him as she cried. Len wrapped his arms around her and held her closely to him.

June, Anna, Yoh and all the others came in to see what had happened. Len turned his head towards the door, looking at June then away.

June came over to them, going over to the night table she picked up the wet cloth from the bowl and wringed it out.

Len let go of Thomasina but she just cling to him tighter; he looked up at his sister. June nodded.

"Thomasina dear could you just lean back a bit please?" June asked her softly.

Thomasina let go of Len but she held onto him just in case, June placed the wet cloth on her forehead and dab it a little on her mouth and eyes.

"There you go, now you can continue hanging off my brother." June said smiling.

That made me snap out of it. I looked up and I stared into the face of Len, I quickly let go and sat there my hands lying on my lap, Len though looked like he could kill his sister right now.

Yoh and Trey were laughing quietly at that, June was giggling at the way her brother looked right now. All huffed up and red.

I reach up to fix my glasses but when I touch my face my glasses weren't there, I looked around and tired to find them then I remember where they were.

"Argh! I am going to kill that damn Asakura when I get my hands on him!" I said pissed now.

"Hey! What did I do?" Yoh asked shocked, he didn't even do anything.

"Not you the other one." I told him my arms crossed.

"Zeke?" Yoh and Trey asked.

"Yes Zeke, he's the one who got's my glasses and when I get my hands on him I am going to kill him, then dance on his corpse."I said angrily.

"I suddenly feel sorry for Zeke." Trey said looking at Yoh who nodded also.

"I heard that!" I told them glaring at them, despite all I could see was a blue and brown blur.

Trey shut his mouth and slowly walked behind Yoh. Yoh turned around and looked at him, wondering what the hell he was doing.

"What are you doing?" Yoh asked him.

"Hiding, she might not be able to see, but I bet her aim with her magic is good." Trey told him crouching low.

Yoh sighed and turned back to look at Thomasina.

I turned to look at Len."Len help me up and take me outside, I need to scream a couple of things out." I told him.

Len stared at her, looking over at June then back at her."I can't do that Thomasina, you need to rest." Len told her.

"If you don't help me I will kick you where the freaking sun doesn't shine! Now help me up!" I demanded.

"She is worse than Anna." Chucko said.

SLAP!

Chucko laid on the ground, his eyes in x's.

"No one is worse than me." Anna declared her arms crossed.

"Oh Anna give it up, man oh man that temper of yours is going to get you killed or even worse." I told her."No wonder Zeke wants you, he can easily make you his with all the hate you have in you."

Everyone had gone white right now. They all looked in fear at Thomasina and Anna.

Anna stood there, staring at the girl her eyes gone white."How dare you!" she whispered.

"No how Dare You! Anna, you know I am right. That is the only reason he wants you, that and the reason that you seem to make a good wife for a Shaman King like him. If he ever becomes one." I told her, getting off the bed I stood there.

"And that is why I Will make sure you never become one. With my last breath I will make sure He Never Chooses You!" I hissed at her."Zeke Will make me his Queen and I will make sure of it!"

Everyone now just stared at Thomasina, how could she be so mean? and why would she even want to help him? And why was she acting like this?

I glared at them. My eyes burning like blue fire."I don't care if you are Zeke's brother or not Yoh. I will fight you and I will destroy you. No one is taking my right to be Queen. No one!" I whispered hissing at them.

"Thomasina what are you doing?" Len asked shocked, this couldn't be the same Thomasina he knew. It just couldn't be.

Thomasina hit Len who banged against the wall, falling down to his knees he laid there. Trey and Chucko ran to her, grabbing her arms they tried to stop her. She just flung them away like flies on the windshield.

Yoh watched in horror, something was not right but he couldn't figure out why.

Thomasina ran to the window, opening it she jumped out. Landing on the ground she looked about, then ran away from the Inn, heading towards the mountains.

Len slowly got to his knees; sitting there he stared at the floor."What happened? How could she do that? HOW?!" Len screamed at them."That is not the same girl I was holding in my arms, she...she is a daemon not the young girl I know."

"I know what you mean Len. That was not her." Yoh told them, his eyes shadowed."Someone is controlling her and I don't think it can be Zeke otherwise why would he want her to say those things?"

Anna though was standing there, cold as stone not even moving. Her eyes were also shadowed and her heart felt like a black-hole.

"Anna? are you ok?" June asked the Itako who hadn't said a word since Thomasina left.

Anna lifted her head up, her eyes were in tears."She was right, all of it was right." Anna sobbed falling to her knees.

"Anna!" Yoh called running over to her, he knelt down in front of her.

Anna looked up at him, her eyes filled with tears."She was right Yoh, Zeke can use my own hate against me and my own selfish reasons to be Shaman Queen." she told him."I don't deserve it; I don't deserve to be Queen."

Yoh stared at Anna; he couldn't believe what he was hearing. Anna was admitting that Thomasina was right? Also she was saying she didn't deserve to be the Shaman Queen?

"Anna? Anna look at me." Yoh asked her quietly, cupping her chin he raised her face so she would look at him."You deserve to be First Lady Anna, don't let what Thomasina say get to you. She wasn't herself when she said those things ok? Now wipe those tears and give me back the Anna I know. The one that can make even Zeke cower in fear with that left-handed slap of hers."

Anna smiled, wiping her face with the back of her hands, she hugged Yoh."You do realize what you just asked do you?" she asked him.

"Yup! And I have no regrets whatsoever." Yoh said still hugging her.

All the guys looked in fear, and back 10 feet away for what was about to happen was not going to be good.

"Oh really?" Anna asked letting go of him.

Yoh grinned at her."Yeah I miss having you back." he told her."Now I know for sure you'll go easy on me."

Anna's eyebrow went up and the next thing that happened...well let's just say Yoh regrets now.

SMACK!

Yoh flew against the wall like a bug on the windshield. Sliding down the wall he looked up at her.

"WHAT WAS THAT FOR?" he yelled, rubbing his sore cheek now.

"Do you really think I go easy on you? I will be First Lady and I need you strong so I can be it." Anna told him her arms crossed; she walked out of the room.

The old Anna was back. Trey and Chucko helped Yoh up, Len though was screaming at him for messing it up.

June smiled and left the room. Boys will be boys.

Outside a shadowed figure stood, smiling in the darkness of the night. He sharpened a knife, looking at the shining blade as it gave off light from the moon.

"Yes June Tao, Boys will be boys." he said.
