Hao and Anna had been sitting in Hao's room for what it seemed forever. The sun sat and the moon began to rise when Yoh came back home.

"Hey guys, I'm back!!!" Anna and Hao jumped on their feet. The blonde rushed towards her room and Hao decided to go downstairs so Yoh wouldn't notice anything unusual.

"Hey, otouto" Hao greeted him. Yoh waved back, smiling with that cute sheepish smile of his. To Hao, it seemed so…unreal…like he was far away from reality. However, Hao managed to keep his mind focused, no matter that it flew upstairs to the blonde woman.

"Hao, did you see Anna this morning?" Yoh asked his expression serious.

"Yeah, she came back in late afternoon. What?" Yoh frowned his forehead.

"I know this is gonna sound stupid, but she I think she's in trouble" Hao shrugged shoulders. Yep, she is. Biiig trouble. And so am I. So are you.

"Well you know her. She wouldn't admit that" Yoh nodded.

"Yeah, but I'll go and talk to her" Hao's eyebrow flew up. Where in a whole wide world you can find a person more optimistic than Yoh?

"You're kidding, right? You had a fight with her yesterday, so how do you expect her to talk to you without throwing you from the room?" Yoh smiled once again.

"Nah, she won't. I'll just try to be careful. Wish me luck, Aniki!" Ha rolled eyes.

"Yeah, you're gonna need it" Yoh went upstairs and inhaled deeply before he knocked to her door.

"Who?" a harsh voice came from the other side.

"It's Yoh"

"Get lost, baka!" Anna shouted to him. Yoh sighed and slid the door open anyway. His jaw fell open when he saw Anna; she was wearing a pair of blue jeans and only a red bra on her. Yoh turned around immediately.

"I'm sorry, Anna-san" he said with high squeaky voice. Anna quickly put on a red shoulder-strapped blouse and threw a sport shoe which hit Yoh's head.

"OW!"

"You'll learn to obey me! Now get out!" Yoh turned around to face her. Now she was wearing something on her, but Yoh's fantasy flew beyond reach.

"Anna, I won't go" he said, crossing arms on his chest. Anna's eyes widened.

"What?" she snapped at him. When does Yoh Asakura disobey her?

"That's right, I won't go" Yoh moved towards Anna.

"You're asking for it!" Anna warned him, stepping back slowly as Yoh walked to her.

"For what?" Yoh forwarded his head to her so quickly that Anna almost fell backwards, but hit the wall right at time. Yoh used the situation to his advancement and pressed her against the wall with his body, placing his hands on both sides of her head. Anna struggled in his press, but couldn't get away: now she felt in complete control of him. Now, she felt frightened, but naturally swallowed what she felt and confronted Yoh with a cold stare.

"Let me go!" she demanded. Yoh only chuckled, his voice now unusually husky. Anna wasn't used to him like that, so she felt somehow not right, like being with a completely different person.

"No. Not until you listen to me" Anna couldn't understand what Yoh wanted with her. All kinds of thoughts flew through her mind: first the most threatening one that he found out about her and Hao, but neither of them gave a chance to do that. Another was that he might've found out about her who she was in past. The last and the most stupid was that Yoh only wanted to have sex with her.

"About what?" Yoh smiled to her as he stroked his finger through her jaw line.

"About our quarrel yesterday" Anna let out a breath, which seemed to Yoh as a sigh of relief, but he didn't understand what she was to be relieved about so he just ignored it.

"If you'll let me go, I will listen" she said and Yoh pushed himself away, dragging Anna to the bad and sitting her on his lap.

"Yoh! You said you wanted to talk" Yoh smirked to her.

"I do. But I like to feel you this way" he stroked his hand through her back, moving down and leaving it on the waist. Anna gave another, this time annoyed, sigh and crossed arm on her chest.

"Fine. Spit it out" Yoh sighed. Why she just cannot loosen up? I mean, what am I doing wrong?

"First, I wanted to say sorry. I really overreacted" Anna smiled sarcastically.

"No duh you did"

"So can you forgive me?" Anna arched an eyebrow to him, but said nothing. Yoh looked into those black distant eyes of her, not knowing what she's thinking. And this uncertainty killed him.

"Please?" he added, seeing how Anna looses up on him.

"I don't know. Can't tell if you're worthy that" Yoh just got an idea and it could end up in two ways: either Anna will completely forgive him or he'll get slapped and be kicked out of her room. Oh well, who doesn't risk, doesn't drink champagne.

"Oh, come on. Please?"

"Hmm…" Yoh smiled to her with that cute grin that would always melt Anna's heart, but strangely, it didn't do so much melting as it was doing before. Yoh grabbed her around the waist and began to tickle. Anna laughed and they both fell on bed, Yoh still tickling her.

"Stop…you…baka" Anna said between gasps and giggles. Yoh stopped and fell by her, resting his head on crossed arms in front of him.

"So, if I am forgiven?" Anna sighed.

"Oh, all right, but only for now" Yoh smiled to her and put his lips onto hers, kissing her sweetly and lightly.

"Thanks" Yoh looked into her eyes and his smile turned into serious expression once again.

"Anna, what's wrong? You seem sad" Anna frowned and turned her gaze away from him.

"Yoh, don't make me lie to you. Just don't ask me, ok? When the time will come, you will know" Anna sighed and thought inside. That's gonna be the hardest day in your life… The brunette guy came closer and hugged her, pulling her on his chest. Anna followed, since she didn't know any other way to not make Yoh suspicious. As Anna's head laid on Yoh's chest, the guy smiled to her.

"Ok, I won't. I love you, Anna" once again, the blonde woman didn't know what to answer. She took a breath, but was cut of by Yoh.

"Don't. I know you cannot. I understand" Anna bent down and kissed him, a small tear rolling down her cheek. She didn't know why she was crying. All she knew was that she didn't want to hurt this guy anymore. She wanted him to be happy and she knew she's destroying this happiness that they both could have, but Anna didn't know what to do with the other half of her, which loved Hao. Wait, was it love? Anna didn't know this either, but she knew that this half was taking over and the passion between them grew into something more. And as Anna was kissing Yoh, she knew that this wasn't right. She felt that in his place should be Hao…like it was hundreds of years ago. After all, the past can never be forgotten…
