A young blond girl sighed as she stood in line amongst a crowd of people. "Why are we here again?" She said as she rolled her eyes.
"Come on, Anna. Hao gave us tickets. It'd be a shame to let them go to waste." The boy standing beside her answered.
"And we're here because of that? You could have easily sold it." The girl replied in an irritated tone.
"Cheer up. It won't be just the two of us. The whole gang's showing up. They should be arriving any minute." The boy said in a cheery tone.
No later than when the boy said that, a group of teenagers made their way through the crowd.
"Hi guys. Sorry, we're late." A blue-haired girl said with a smile. "We had to go through a few hurdles to get here." She pointed to a blue-haired boy and a purple-haired boy yelling at each other while a pink-haired girl was trying to stop them.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I can't believe I let you drag me into this." Anna said trying to make her voice heard amongst a crowd of girls screaming their lungs out while giving them dagger looks.
"It'll be fun, Anna. I'm sure Hao would be happy to see that everyone came to watch his biggest concert yet." Yoh said with a smile.
"I do wonder how your brother ended up as a famous iconic idol. With a weird name no less. I mean, what kind of idiot calls himself the Shamanic Superstar?" Anna said nastily.
"I think it's a cool name." Yoh replied.
"Whatever. Can't these girls get a life?"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I want to thank everyone for coming." Hao said happily. The girls in the arena screamed. Hao continued. "Unfortunately, my next song will be my last song for tonight. It's for two people that I know and are very close to me. I do hope that they will appreciate it." More screaming ensued from the crowd.
Anna rolled her eyes.
Yoh ignored her.
Hao began to sing.
Is it okay if I speak to you today?
You've been pissed off for a week now...
The screaming was louder than ever.
But nothing I can say could make you look up
Or crack up
Is there anything that I can do?
Anything to show you..
You're a bitch!
...but I love you anyway.
You can't sing
But you still put me to sleep
Ren just realized who Hao was singing this for. Yoh was completely oblivious to this fact.
You make me sick
But, don't ever go away
Yoh was still oblivious. As for Anna, it had somehow clicked a bit but not quite.
So you tell me that there's nothing left to say
I drive you face the window
Then you're in my face telling me to grow up
I wish you'd grow up
I can't wait until you fall asleep
I wonder if you know that
By this time, every girl in the arena was about to go crazy.
You're a bitch!
...but I love you anyway.
You can't sing
But you still put me to sleep
You make me sick
But, don't ever go away
Before Hao went on to finish his song, he said "I hope the people I'm singing this for realize that this song is for them."
You're a bitch
But I love you anyway
So why don't you...
Stay?
It was when Hao sang the last line, every girl in the arena screamed and charged towards the stage. Hao, being a smart one, smiled, snapped his fingers and vanished. It was when he vanished did she realize who the song was for.

"That last song was quite interesting." Yoh said in a pleasant tone as he and Anna walked home.
"Seems like all the girls went crazy over it." Anna said dully.
"True."
There was silence as they continued walking. Anna wondered if Yoh knew what Hao was trying to say in his song. She broke the silence.
"Do you know who the song was intended for?" Anna asked in a barely audible voice.
"Hmm?"
"Do you know who the song was intended for?" Anna repeated in louder voice.
"Oh. Of course. It was for you and me. Who else would it be?" Yoh said cheerfully.
"You knew?" Anna said in disbelief. Yoh had this tendency to extremely dense at times.
"Yeah. Hao might have hit me if I didn't."
"And you're not mad?"
"No, why would I be? Are you mad?"
"Of course not." Anna said defensively. "Why would I be mad?"
"Because knowing you, you'd be pissed cos' Hao wanted to spell something out loud but was afraid to do it directly."
"I guess so. But…" Anna trailed off.
"But what?" Yoh asked.
"Is that what you really think of me? A bitch?"
Yoh laughed. Anna glared at him. "Sorry, couldn't help it." He stopped and grabbed Anna's hand. "No, that's not what I think of you. I do love you but I don't see you as a bitch. Even though you've made me go through the worst kind of training and you've been cold to me, I never thought of you that way. I think Hao was just trying to emphasize his point."
Anna didn't say anything. Good thing it was already dark or else Yoh would have seen the touch of pink kissing her cheeks as they continued to walk home.

It's been a while since I last updated. Sorry about that. This has been done for quite some time but I didn't have the time to post it. The song in this story is called The Bitch Song by Bowling for Soup. Awesome song. This is not one of my best works but the idea wouldn't leave me alone until I wrote it. Nonetheless, I appreciate reviews. Many thanks to those who reviewed! Till the next story.
