Today was the day, Yoh Asakura declared. The day that he was going to kiss Anna. The day that he was going to stand up to her and tell her how he really felt about her. The day he was going to say no to all of her death training and confess everything to her. How he had been in love with her ever since the first time they met and how he never really said anything for fear of never ending torture that he may receive. Yes, today was going to be that day. It was now or never. Things will never be the same for Yoh Asakura.

Yoh had spent the entire morning trying to figure out how he was going to do it and how Anna would react.. Was he going to corner her or was he going to just say it in her face? What would she say? Would she believe him? Would she slap him? The possibilities of what could happen were endless. Yoh was very much lost in his own thoughts that he failed to perform his training regimen and do his chores. He continued to ponder until he heard a voice behind him.

"Yoh, what are you doing?" A stern voice said in a tone far too calm.

Yoh recognized the voice without even thinking. It was Anna and her tone meant something bad was about to happen. Now was the perfect time to do it. Or was it the right time?

"Yoh, I am going to ask again. What are you doing?" Anna said it in a tone that could have scared children.

"Thinking. Why?" Yoh answered as he stood up to approach Anna.

"Oh really? Do you realize that you'd forgotten to do something?" Anna looked at him with a look that said "You better give me a very good reason or die."

Apparently, Yoh got the hint and backed away. "Oops, sorry. My bad. I'll get to it." He said sheepishly.

"Good. You better get it done soon or no meals for the rest of the day." Anna said sternly as she walked away.

Yoh sighed as he watched Anna disappear. So maybe this wasn't the day and so much for now or never he thought miserably. Some other day perhaps. When Anna was in a very good mood.

Ah yes, it's finally done. Sorry if you find it too short. It took me long enough to get to it. I have no idea where this came from and it turned out as I had planned it. Much love to patto-chan who gave me a very good shove to get this down. If not for her, it would have taken longer for me to post this. Thanks for all the reviews. Don't forget to leave a review for this one.
