Chapter 7: Scones and Bagels.

Yoh Asakura lied down on his bed watching the ceiling fan go round and round slowly.

After a few minutes, he closed his eyes and sighed.

It has been a week ever since his meeting with Anna. Anna... he couldn't stop thinking about her. He wanted to see her so badly, but why? What was he to her anyway? they we're just friends who share the same interest in music... He knows he likes her but was it love now?

his endless train of thoughts continued inside his mind.

Suddenly a yellow cat with black stripes on its back jumped up on the bed. He gave a meow as to say his presence was there.

Yoh looked up to his pet, "Oh hey, Matamune." He greeted as he stroke its head and it gave a slight purr.

The feline gave another meow as if it where asking what was he doing. Matamune and Yoh communicate easily... it was like the guy understands what his pet was saying.

"Hm? Oh nothing... just thinking... of some stuff..." He said absentmindly.

Matamune meowed and tilted its head on his side.

"Just stuff..." Yoh said sitting down and narrowing his eyes. The cat sat beside him and meowed some more.

"Geez... Matamune you're asking a lot of questions for a cat!" the brunette suddenly spat out.

It just closed its almond-shaped eyes and meowed again.

"Anna? No! Of course it has nothing to do with her! Why'd you suddenly say that?" Yoh said almost panicking.

Then the cat did an unusual behavior... it raised an eyebrow?

Yoh glared at the animal. "Don't give me that look Matamune!" but the cat ignored him, its eyebrow still raised. The human gulped and then looked at his side. "W-well... t-that is to say..."

Matamune meowed loudly.

His master groaned. "Aww... alright! Fine! Yes, its about Anna! Okay? Happy now?" then he colapsed on his bed.

The pet just went to him and he purred. Then it put a paw on Yoh's arm.

"What about Anna? Well... I don't know... I'm just bummed out about not seeing her for a week..." He confessed.

Matamune meowed once again, giving him a reply.

"I know she's busy at work, and yes its the reason why she didn't call or text messaged me... but I just can't help myself! I want to see her..."

the cat meowed with a puzzled look on its face.

"Why? Why? I don't know why?! Is it because I'm starting to fall for her?! I like her but I never expect to be in-love with her! Or do I? ...I don't know... I'm so confused right now..." He sighed. "Maybe that's the only reason...? Gah! I need to clear my mind..." He sat up and grabbed his coat.

"Matamune, I'm going out for a walk." He said stopping at the door. "Stay here and guard the apartment... I'll feed you when I get home..." He went out and came back again. "...and stay out of trouble!" he added.

The feline meowed in reply, jumped out of the bed and got the remote on the floor. Then it started watching TV. Flipping its paws on the buttons (a/n: smart cat ne? lol!)

Outside the living room, Yoh put on his shoes and grabbed his keys to the apartment.
"Maybe a walk will clear my mind out..." he stood up and went to the front door.

After a few minutes he locked up his apartment and headed for the exit.

"Yoh-kun?" Said a voice from the corridor.

Yoh turned around and saw Lyserg's grandmother. She was a small, sweet-looking, old-lady around 78 and she was wearing a green kimono and her grey hair was in a tight bun.

She walked forward to Yoh with her wooden cane and adjusted her glasses.

"Hi Grammy Diethel." Yoh greeted with a smile.

"Are you going out Yoh-kun?" She asked with her gentle old-lady voice.

"Yes... I'm gonna take a stroll down the park."

"Well... since you're going out, can you do me a favor?" She asked.

Yoh shrugged. "Sure, I guess."

"You see, Lyserg isn't home today and he forgot to buy me my scones and bagels. And you know how much I love those..." She chuckled.

Yoh just smiled in reply.

Grammy Diethel got 1000 yen from her pocket and gave it Yoh. "Here you go..."

Yoh blinked. "Uh... Grammy, this is too much for scones and bagels only..."

the old-lady smiled. "keep the change sonny! Go buy yourself something nice..."

"Wow..." The brunette grinned. "Thanks!"

"Your welcome Yoh-kun. Take your time buying them! I don't really need to eat those now..."

"Alright! Thanks again Grammy Diethel!" Yoh said as he turned to leave.

"Okay. Enjoy your walk Yoh-kun!" the old-lady said waving good-bye.

ooo00000ooo

Yoh arrived at downtown tokyo, he pulled close his coat as he felt a cool breeze pass him. it was now 5pm and red streaks roamed the orange sky. He went to a bakery near an awfully familiar building.

Inside the bakery were loads of wonderful breads, pastries, cookies displayed in each baskets on shelves.

"Welcome!" Greeted the lady by the counter.

Yoh smiled. "Hi. Uhm... you guys have scones?" He asked as he reached for his pocket to get the money.

"Oh, I'm sorry... all freshed out. Scones are very popular here, mostly foreigners buy a dozen of them." The counter lady said.

"Oh. Okay, how 'bout bagels then?" He asked once again.

The lady shook her head. "I'm sorry, they didn't deliver bagels today... Maybe tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow? Oh shoot." Yoh muttered under his breath.

"May I recommend the cafe across the street? They sell bread there too... maybe they have bagels and scones. I'm really sorry we don't have them..." She apologized once again.

"Its okay... I think I'll just go to the cafe. Thanks anyway!" Yoh said as he exited the bakery.

The brunette pushed the walk button near the traffic light post. as the light turned red and the "walk" sign appeared, he crossed the street to the very familiar place he thinks he's been to.

Yoh continued his walk and he raised an eyebrow. "Deja Vu?"

Then it hit him! It was the same cafe that He and Anna went to to get coffee. As he arrived he saw the sign outside "The Brew Place".

He smiled as he remembered their "date" here...

When he entered the coffee shop, the place was packed! "Wow... Is it cappuccino night?" He said chuckling.

Then he made his way to the counter where a tall blue-haired girl sat reading a gossip mag. It wasn't soon until Kanna saw him and he waved 'hi' as he came near.

"Yoh!" She said closing the magazine. "What a surprise!"

"Hey Kanna!" He greeted.

Kanna eyed him and grinned. "So... you here for the show?"

"Huh? What show? No... I was wondering if you guys sell scones and bagels here?" He asked ignoring what Kanna said about a show.

"Oh. Yeah! of course we have! The scones are freshly baked today and yeah, we have bagels. Why? you on a bread diet?" Kanna said.

Yoh sweatdropped. "No. Actually, these are for a friend's grandmother. I'm doing this as a favor."

"Oh... alright then." Kanna said as she got a pen and paper. "What will you have again?" She asked.

"Uh, a dozen scones and 5 bagels please..." Yoh said as the tall girl wrote it down.

"Oh yeah, chip in a medium decaf for me." He added, Kanna nodded.

"Alright! this is gonna take a while so just take a seat and I'll get back with your order. Okay?" She said as she ripped the paper off the pad and went to the kitchen.

Yoh took a seat from the tall stool beside the bar counter and looked around. There were sure lots of people... and the stage was lighted today. He wondered what was going on... mostly all the people were seated near the stage. Then he saw Red-head Macchi and silent Mari busily taking orders from table to table. He chuckled as he saw them.

Suddenly the lights dimmed and an interlude song played.

"Here's your decaf Yoh..."Kanna said as she arrived back at her post. She passed him a styrofoam cup with hot coffee in it.

"Thanks." He said taking the cup into his hands.

"Oh yeah, uhm... the scones are still in the oven and they're gonna be done in a minute so...please wait." She said. "Here are your bagels though." She gave Yoh a brown bag with the said order.

"Alright..." Yoh said, he took a sip from his cup. "By the way... what's going on here today?" He asked Kanna.

She grinned. "Oh, you'll see... the finale will start now... Enjoy!" then she went away to the kitchen again.

Yoh had a confused look and just shrugged.

He continued with his coffee until he heard applauses from the audience and a VERY familiar voice.

"Okay... this is my final number for tonight ladies and gentlemen..."

Yoh swallowed his coffee quickly and turned to see...

Anna!

...on stage...

He couldn't believe it. And NOW (and AGAIN!) it really hit him! She worked here as a singer every Wednesday and today IS Wednesday! How stupid of him to forget!

His eyes widen as he finally saw her again...

"Okay, this next song is one of my favorites and its dedicated all of you guys! Thanks for always being a wonderful audience!" the blonde said through the mic.

Anna was now seated in a tall stool chair (Like the one Yoh is sitting on the bar counter). The spotlights were illuminating her milky smooth skin, she was so pretty in a halter black dress and her hair was wavy-ed up, adorned by couple of berets on the side. The mic stand was infront of her.

then the intro of the song started playing... It was an acoustic rhythm, like Yoh would play at times.

And Anna began the song...

Don't you know that I want to be more than just your friend
Holdin' hands is fine, but I've got better things on my mind
You know it could happen if you'd only see me in a different light
Maybe when we finally get together, you will see that I was right

Yoh was once again, mesmerized with the beauty of Anna voice.

Say you love me
You know that it could be nice
If you'd only say you love me
Don't treat me like I was ice, ooh...

Please love me
I'll be yours and you'll be mine
If you'd only say you love me, baby
Things would really work out fine

Say you love me
You know that it could be nice
If you'd only say you love me
Don't treat me like I was ice, ooh...

Please love me
I'll be yours and you'll be mine
If you'd only say you love me, darlin'
Things would really work out fine

Yoh snapped out of it and smiled as he continued to watch Anna shine. Then he found the answer... Yup, the reason to all his thoughts was there all along! But now... He fell even more in love with her...

...Oh yeah, and she needed to thank Grammy Diethel for the favor... If it weren't for her scones and bagels, he wouldn't have realized it...

Say that you love me
Mmm...mmm...ooh...ho...ho...
Say that you love me
Mmm...mmm...mmm...

Hoo...hoo...baby
Would you say you love me
You know that it could be nice
If you'd only say you love me
Don't treat me like I was ice..

That's when on cue, Kanna handed out the scones. "Here you go..." She said happily.
Yoh just smiled at her and grabbed the pen and paper Kanna used earlier.

Please love me
I'll be yours and you'll be mine
If you'd only say you love me, baby
Things would really work out fine

If you'd only say you love me, darlin'
Things would really work out fine
If you'd only say you love me, darlin'
Things would really work out fine

The song finally ended and a wild applause from the audience.

"Thank you!" Anna said as she got off from her seat and bowed. "See you all again next Wednesday! Good night!" and that's when the spotlights closed and She left the stage.

ooo00000ooo

Later... after the show, the place wasn't crowded anymore. Anna was laughing along with Macchi and Mari, as they talk about her performance.

"Anna-chan you we're amazing! As usual!" Macchi said hyperactively.

"Of course nitpick! Anna's the great!" Mari said.

Anna blushed at the comments. "Not really...hehe..."

the three we're on their way to the counter where Kanna was.

"Great performance Anna!" the bluenette said giving Anna a thumbs-up.

"Thanks Kanna." Anna said as a soft blush appeared on her cheeks.

"She's more than great!!!" Macchi jumping up.

"Oh, that was nothing... really you guys..." The blonde said.

"Too bad there wasn't a talent scout present." Mari said. "It would've been great if you we're discovered with that talent Anna."

The blonde frowned. "It's okay... I'm not expecting anything... what's important is I'm doing my best in making people happy! Music makes people happy!" She said smiling.

"Well..." Kanna started. "I have a little something for you Anna... the one who gave that was no talent scout..." She pulled out a note from her pocket.

"For... me?" She asked as she blinked.

"...compliments from a handsome young man..." She said as she gave the folded paper to Anna.

She gasped and blushed as she got the paper.

"Oh! How romantic!!!" Macchi screamed.

"Quiet Nitpick!" Mari hissed.

Kanna just grinned.

Anna unfolded the paper:

Anna,

Great performance! You really shined out there! I really admire your talent... your voice is just so beautiful, just like you and your cheerful personality. I think I'm even starting to fall more and more in love with you...

Best of luck and Best wishes!

-Y.A.

Anna blushed as she finished reading the note. 'I think I'm even starting to fall more and more in love with you...'

"Who?" Anna managed to mutter out.

"Well? Well? What's it say?!" Macchi said getting all giddy.

"Sshhh!" Mari hissed once again.

Suddenly Anna looked around the place, as if she we're lost in a maze or something...

"Y.A.?" She silently muttered. "Yoh?" Then she looked around, and then she blushed and smiled.

ooo00000ooo

Funbari apartments...

"OUCH!" A brown-haired boy yelped in pain.

"Yoh-kun? Are you alright?" Asked an old-lady. "Are the scones still hot?"

Yoh stuck out his tongue. "Nu Granly, I ju bit mi tong... (No Grammy, I just bit my tongue)"

"Ooh... someone must be thinking about you..." Grammy Diethel said. "I wonder who it is?"

The brunette just shrugged.

"More tea Yoh-kun?"

"Yles pwlese! (Yes Please!)"
