Chapter 2News

Summary:
The news of Anna and Yoh's marriage spread throughout the whole Tokyo… When Hao heard it, he was both upset and glad… Why?

Hao stared at the white clouds floating slowly in the sky, the cotton candy-like structure formed different shapes as they swam around in the blue 'sea'. Rays of sun shine shot thought the gaps in the clouds, into Hao's eyes, letting him see the beautiful wonders of nature…

He laid on his back, his hands behind his head, eyes closed against the light. The grass was soft and nice, nature was so beautiful, especially in the wide grasslands in Tokyo.

He might had looked relax on the outside, but in the inside, he was thinking furiously…

Thinking why he had lost the Shaman fight…

Thinking why Yoh had beaten him in everything…

------------------------------------------------------------------

Friends…

Battles…

And even love…

Though Opacho had returned back to him, but the sorrows at the back of his head still laid… The torture of not becoming the Shaman King once more… The sadness of betrayal of his commandos, the lost of a powerful wife…

He was so confused, and so, now he wanted to get the answers of his defeat…

Hao stood up and proceed his way to Yoh's house…

It had been a while since Yoh had taken some fresh air… Maybe not a while, it had been a long time…
It's not that he had not gone out for a stroll or a walk, but its his heart that had not freed itself from the guilt and tragic of his older brother's death…

It's his heart, which did not wish to take in a deep breath and forget about him.
It's his heart, which had been…waiting…

Yoh had always been waiting …

Even secretly behind Anna's back …

Waiting for Hao's return …

That was why he had always been sitting under the tree… Maybe one day, he might hear Hao's voice, he might get to see him again…

Yoh was really depressed, he had no one to talk his problems with…he had no one to free his heart to… His heart was suffocating, from the guilt and sadness…

Unless…

"Anna …"

"What?"

"Have I committed a sin?"

Anna whipped around to face her fiancé who looked regretful …

"I had killed my own brother …my hands are stained with his blood … isn't this a sin?"

Anna only whispered one word before leaving Yoh in the room…

"Baka …"

Yoh smiled, he was lucky to have Anna as his fiancé. Not everybody could understand him as well as Anna did, everybody looked only on the outside. But Anna knew better than to judge his feelings by that. After all Anna was the same, hiding true feelings behind an imaginary mask …

Maybe it was time to ask her for her hand, after all, it was time for them to get married…

Yoh smiled at the thought…

"Thought it is going to be tough, but it will be worth it…" he whispered softly to himself.

Today would be the day to propose to her, Yoh thought to himself.

He proceed his way to Anna's room, he had no idea on what Anna would say to him. He did not know if she would reject him or accept him.

He stood outside the door, thinking…

Maybe he should not do this now, maybe later. But… if he did not do it now, when else would he do it? So he gathered up his courage and knocked on the door.

After several long moments…

"What!" Anna spited while opening the door ten minutes after Yoh had knocked it.

'Mm…' Yoh mumbled. 'I…I…I… want…want…want…'

'HURRY AND SPIT IT OUT!' Anna screamed out into Yoh's ears.

He closed his eyes in agony and shouted out:
"I WANT YOUR HAND IN MARRIAGE!"

The rest of the night was in silence…
