After that night, Hao and Anna would be living together. Well, technically, since Hao was still "visiting" Yoh. He would come back to Anna's place to spend a night with her and morning. After it Hao would usually leave for work, since he got himself a place in his father's company. Anna continued studying medicine, when the summer holiday's was over, getting a scholarship enough for her to live properly. Everything's seemed to be happy and normal, with Hao coming back for a dinner or supper; sometimes he would stay through the night, which would be as wild as hell. Anna was more than satisfied with this, feeling that finally her life might be perfect. Until that morning…

Anna woke up with a sense that she's about to throw up. The blonde quickly ran to the bathroom, but nothing came out, only heaving and nothing else. She spent like this a couple of hours, leaned onto the wall in the bathroom. Each time Anna tried to stand up, the sickness would come over again and put her down once again. Anna sat on the floor, feeling how weak she was from heaving up. Shit, what the hell is wrong with me? I had never been so sick before, except maybe when I had hangover. But still…it doesn't make any sense. Anna tried to stand up again: she slowly lifted herself, leaning on a wall. This time, the action only made her feel dizzier, but nothing more. Anna slowly walked to the kitchen and found a phone. She found the number of taxi and called it. Anna decided to go to the hospital, but driving in this condition would be risky. Besides, she didn't want to worry Hao, since he had enough troubles himself with Yoh and his job. The taxi promised to be at fifteen minutes time, so Anna got dressed in jeans and black pullover as quickly as she could and left the house. The taxi took her quickly through the city and stopped by a huge white building. The blonde went inside and asked for a doctor. One of them, a friendly looking woman in her mid-forties, accepted her. Anna went into the examination room, trembling a bit…

Yoh stepped into the house of his parents at the Izumo village. He looked around, searching for someone: from one room, Kino stepped out.

"She's here, isn't she, baa-san" Yoh asked immediately. Kino showed him to the room. Yoh came in, completely confused. For more than month he'd been trying to find Anna, but she was as good as dead. The brunette guy didn't realize where the hell she could've been gone: he phoned all her friends, or at least the ones he'd been able to find out, he looked all over the city, scouting one hotel after another. Nothing, not even a hint. So, Yoh decided to refer to the ones who had more chances to know where his love had gone.

Yoh sat by the table and Kino sat in front of him.

"So?" Yoh asked impatiently. Kino was speechless for some time, but she finally said:

"You've been looking for her, haven't you?" she asked. That made Yoh completely angry inside.

"No duh I was. I searched around the entire city and no sight of her. I don't know what else to do, so I…wait a minute, how do you know she's gone?" it hit to Yoh finally and he looked suspiciously to Kino. She must know something!

"My dear boy, I really know a lot about Anna's disappearance. And it will be hard to you. Didn't you notice something strange around?" Yoh thought hard about the answer. When you come to think of it, Hao's been acting strange lately. He barely comes home, barely speaks to me. Even his behavior changed. What the hell is wrong with him? Or maybe..?

"Yeah, I did notice Hao acting strange. I don't know what's gotten into him" Yoh arched an eyebrow "baa-san, does he have anything to do with Anna?" Yoh didn't believe in his own words, but could predict the answer.

"I'm afraid so, Yoh" the brunette guy gasped, standing up quickly.

"Are they in trouble? Please tell me! If I can I'll help them in anyway, just…"

"Calm down, son" another voice came from the doorway: Mikihisa, Yoh's father, stood there. His arms crossed onto his chest.

"Otou-san" Yoh referred to him respectfully.

"Yoh, Anna and Hao, they…" Mikihisa let out a painful sigh "they ran away together. If you could say it like that. Anna came here more than month ago and broke off your engagement. She said that she'd chosen Hao instead of you" Yoh stood in one place, looking right past Mikihisa. All kinds of thoughts went through his mind, all kinds of emotions stirred inside. What the HELL?!!! Hao and Anna? No, that cannot be true!!! She couldn't have done such a suicide. Not Anna! I mean, I love her so much…and she? Although she never said it to me, I know she loves me as well. Then why the hell she's with Hao? And how long was it all going on? And all of it was behind my back! NO!!! Hao's going to pay for that. He said to me that he would never look to Anna in any different way then as a sister-in-law! He broke his promise! And Anna? She just broke off our engagement for good, why? She loves me! But then why…?

"Why?" Yoh asked his voice angry and trembling.

"The history always repeats itself in one or other way. That always was and always will be" Kino said in a mysterious voice. Yoh didn't understand about what she was talking.

"What the hell?"

"Anna and Hao are the reincarnations of Mitsuko Kyouyama and The Evil. They were meant to be together, but this love of them causes a great pain and loss. They must've been prevented from finding each other again, but as you see, the destiny cannot be fought back" Mikihisa explained everything as if he was reading it from the book. Sure enough, the man was studying the history of both families for years, so he memorized everything that's been said and written. Yoh, on the other hand, didn't get the idea of what was going on: all he felt was anger, jealousy and a lust for avenge. Avenge his beloved Anna who'd been stolen from him. Although it was a complete opposite of the truth.

"That doesn't make any sense. How can they be reincarnations of something that happened gods know how long ago?" Kino sighed, looking very tired and, for a first time in front of Yoh, old and helpless.

"My boy, it makes a perfect sense: Hao and Anna were made for each other. That always was and always will be. But their happiness causes another's misfortunes. Until you'll cope with that, they would be connected with a soul binding harder that you could ever imagine. Right now, no one could prevent or stop it" Yoh completely fumed inside.

"I will stop this. And I will get my Anna back!"

"What makes you think she's still yours?" Mikihisa asked, seeing how anger consumes his beloved son: Yoh was always his favorite, because he would always be caring, loving and nice. The very opposite of Hao. Yoh's twin brother was always distant and cold, without love for his parents. Although Hao would always remember the family occasions and all, he would always attend them without much excitement or joy in his eyes. But in this occasion, Mikihisa had no choice but to prove to Yoh that Anna was already lost to him. She was unreachable right now and nothing could change that. Unless a miracle would happen.

"I know she's still mine!" Yoh said loudly. He wasn't shouting, but his tone was hard and echoes from the walls of the room.

"She's not yours. She never was" a calm voice came from the doorway. Everybody turned that way and saw none else than Hao. He was standing his back leaned onto the door casing, his arms crossed onto his chest. Yoh narrowed his eyes to the man that looked like the reflection of his. Few hours before Yoh felt brotherly love to this reflection. Now it turned into hate.

"What the hell you could understand?" he asked furiously.

"More than you, that's for sure" Hao said, not bothering to even look to his brother. He knew this would be unbearable not even for Yoh, but to Hao as well: he for the last whished his little brother bad, but now the circumstances were different and Hao chosen his love for Anna in prize of Yoh's love for him "anyway, I'm here to tell you that I've moved out, so you can live in peace and solitude" Yoh was shaking from anger. How in the world he could say these things so easily and emotionlessly?

"Not until you tell me where Anna's now!" Hao scoffed.

"As if I'm doing it right now. Cope with it, little bro. You have a lifetime for it" Hao turned around and walked away, leaving Yoh stand in complete dumfound ness. Yoh panted heavily, looking here to Mikihisa, here to Kino and then back to the place where Hao stood.

"He's gonna pay for that. I promise" Yoh stormed out of the room. Mikihisa looked after him with a worry in his voice.

"He's so vulnerable at the moment. Do you think he'll get over it?" Kino sighed and answered, but the words didn't comfort much.

"I only hope so…"…

Anna was sitting at the lounge of the hospital, waiting for the results of her examination. Her sickness was retreating, but Anna could still feel it inside, stirring at her stomach. She also felt a little sense of fear, growing at the end of her spine: she tried to shake it off, but could. A door at her side opened and Anna heard her name from inside the room. The blonde stood up and walked inside, feeling how fear hits her knees. She sat in front of a doctor and looked questionably to her. The woman smiled to Anna.

"Well, Kyouyama-san, I could only congratulate you. You're pregnant" she handed the paper to Anna, where was said all the condition of her and the embryo. Anna took the paper, not seeing it. She only looked to the slurred letters and numbers, all kinds of thought running through her head. Now way that's possible! I was using contraception every since…no wait! Oh jeez, I completely forgot! I wasn't using them since that time Hao pulled me into shower! Oh gods! How could this happen! How will I tell this to him?! I'm not even sure if his family will continue to be so tolerant and let us live together. And Yoh? What if he still doesn't know? What if he won't take it the right way? NO! That's not good! Although I wanted family with Hao, but not this way, not in these hard conditions! Anna's cheeks were crossed by tears. She was sorry for the life that was growing inside of her, sorry for that he or she will be forced to come to the world with anticipation and hatred. She was sorry for Hao that he'll have to carry the burden of whole family that now was their both responsibility. And lastly she was sorry for herself, because for her carelessness this new life is burdened with its parents' misfortunes. The doctor looked to Anna with a pity and confuse ness.

"Is there something wrong? You didn't…want the baby?" Anna shook her head, brushing tears off her face, but in vain: they were replaced by new ones.

"No…it's not that… I'm happy about it, but…it's just…oh you don't know the story. This child…won't be as happy as I wanted him to be" Anna controlled her voice with her hardest. The woman looked to Anna, her eyebrows frowned.

"Even if I don't, I could say you'll be the perfect mother. I can sense it, you love that child and your husband or boyfriend, whoever, will love him or her as well. Be sure about it" Anna smiled to the good-willing eyes of the doctor.

"Thank you. If I may go…"

"Sure. Go on. I would like to see you after a month to check how the baby's growing"

"Ok. Thank once again" Anna bowed respectfully to her and ran out of the room and out of hospital. She quickly caught the taxi and headed straight back home, hopping to find Hao there.

As the taxi pulled over by her house, Anna saw a silver MERCEDES standing at the yard. She quickly paid the driver and got out of the car. Anna ran quickly to the door and flung it open. She was met by a concerned face of Hao.

"Where have you…" he was cut of by Anna, hugging him tight. She was crying and her shoulders were trembling from sobs. Hao stroked his hands gently through her back, comforting her.

"Hey, baby, it's ok. Calm down. I'm here with you" he whispered to her ear. All kinds of guessing raced through his mind: Yoh, university, Kino, Mikihisa, so on… But Hao felt that it was none of them. Somehow, he knew that Anna wasn't crying because of none of the reasons, because there was something else, something more serious than before.

"Come on, Anna-chan, let's take a seat" he led her to the living room and sat her on the couch, sitting by her side himself. He brushed off her tears and looked right into her sad eyes.

"Now tell me everything. Did someone hurt you?" Anna shook her head. She controlled her voice and emotions before speaking out.

"Hao, something…oh, I don't know how to call it…something happy-go-bad came to us" Hao frowned his eyebrows.

"What? Anna, you're scaring me" Anna looked into his caring eyes and saw that now she could trust him with everything. And so she did. After all, this was a part of them both.

"Hao, I'm pregnant. I found out this morning" she said, not looking into his eyes. Hao blinked to her, not knowing how to react. She's pregnant? She's carrying my child…Wow, I never thought this would happen so quickly. Oh, it must be so hard to her to know that we cannot be completely sure about whether something would happen to our family. Family? Guess it will be full soon enough. Dad…Jeez, that sounds so…strangely on me. But mother suits to Anna, since she's so cared about the people she really loves. Wow…that's a kind of shock. Hao lifted her head and kissed her lightly.

"Congratulation, mother-to-be" Anna widened her eyes to him.

"You're…you're not…mad or worried…or…" Hao put the finger on her lips.

"Why would I be? I'm happy. We can finally have a family, full family" he took her to his arms and swung around in the air "you bring so much happiness to me" he whispered. Anna smiled to him kindly and lovingly.

"If that's so, you can start thinking of a name for a boy and I'll take care of a girl's" Hao laughed and swung her around one more time.

"Anna-chan, you're the most wonderful!" Anna laughed, suddenly her heart as light as a feather. With Hao everything seems to be so safe and perfect.

"Hao-kun, thank you for being with me and for loving me" she said these words with all the sincerity she meant and more.

"And I thank you for being. I love you, Anna. And I love that little guy inside of you" Hao smiled to her and looked to the belly, which yet didn't show any sight of pregnancy. But it soon will and Anna knew it.

"I love you two as well. And more…" Anna kissed Hao. She now felt complete, as if she'd found what she was looking for all her life: love, happiness and family. Family was the element she never had in her life, so she promised to herself to give all the love to her child, which she never had from her parents. A tear, this time of happiness, crossed her cheek once again, leaving a mark of a small stream…

The streams of life is unknown and the couple didn't know what was waiting for them… In this world, happiness was not allowed to endure for long…
