Author's Note: Hi guys! Long time no see. Hahaha… I miss all of you actually. Did you like chapter 1? I hope you did because we are now on chapter 2 and I would also like to apologize for grammar lapses, this is not my first language so please bear with me. For those who reviewed, added it to their favorites list and alerts here's a BIG THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart .^_^V.
HSPC – Cheers to you! You are my very first reviewer! I've seen that you are writing SK fanfics in Spanish, that's cute, I myself wanted to learn Spanish as a secondary language maybe in the future I'll pursue it.
Yehey – Yehey! I'm happy that you liked it…..[pun intended] another Filipino fanatic of Shaman King. We really are many here in the Philippines.
Elpatolocosisi – Your review really made me think, the first time that I read it, I've gone back to the whole story and re-read it. To answer the question, Anna didn't see Yoh crossing the street because while looking for a banner to see who are the celebrity people present in the place, her focus is shifted from the road to search on the park, and Yoh hadn't seen her car because he was more focused on escaping his work and his fans to rest somewhere peaceful so he just carelessly cross the street.
DF14-BLACK SNOW - You really think that it is cool? Wow thanks! Since you say that you are a newbie here, I wanted to be one of the people who will "Welcome" you here. "WELCOME HOPE YOU LIKE YOURE STAY HERE!"

It's time to try anything to be with you
All my life I've waited
This is true

-Connection on the chapter? Actually none, I just love this song.
Chapter 2
Anna was still spaced out when she felt an abnormal sensation in her stomach; she knows it isn't just stress… its hunger. She remembered she hadn't even manage to eat breakfast this morning because she was so busy preparing for the trip, only it didn't turn up the way she had planned it; she bitterly thought. For the meantime she went to the cafeteria of the hospital to grab something to eat.
"Where is Yoh Asakura?!?" the director was shouting at his whole crew for no one knew where his lead star went. He had been giving them a piece of his mind and his temper for almost an hour now. No one dared to argue or even speak fore they know what are the consequences that they will have to face if they even utter a word that is not related to where Yoh is, it didn't help that the producer's son and current OIC surprised everyone with his visit. It just added to the tension; an ill-tempered director plus an arrogant OIC producer isn't a very good combination.
"He's been giving us the same sermon for almost an hour now. He's like a broken cd saying blah blah blah over and over again" complained Ellie, one of Pirika's staff.
"Yeah and besides how on earth will we know where Yoh is? Pirika you talked to him a while ago right? Didn't he say anything about where he is going?" asked Meene, also one of her staff.
"I am talking to him a while ago, but he left to talk to the director and ask for a break, then that's it. I don't know where he is now." Pirika answered, "wait--- why haven't I thought of calling his cell phone?" Pirika was now fumbling for her cell phone when someone spoke,
"Yeah, why didn't you have the brains to call his cell phone?" they turned their gaze to the person who spoke; it's the OIC producer, Ren Tao.
Pirika frowned, she really hate his guts and his arrogance.
"Hey, aren't you suppose to know his whereabouts? I'm thinking that you are not doing your job well. You're not just here to just talk to the mirror and hold make-up you should do your job well. " Ren even gave her a quick sweep over look.
Pirika's blood started to boil; her self is revolting at his arrogance.
"Well Mr. Tao do I look like his secretary? The last time I checked my job here, it says head make-up artist and not Asakura's personal assistant!" retorted Pirika then angrily contacted Yoh's cell hone. She was dismayed when she heard his ringtone on her pocket and remembered that he left his cell phone to her care a while ago.
"Crap I forgot he left his cell phone to me. Where in Aomori do you think will I find him?"
"Well, do I look like your tour guide?" Ren Tao replied mockingly before walking out.
After a quick meal, Anna went back outside the E.R. and waited for some news for her patient. Luckily, the doctor was passing by.
"Doctor, do you now have the results?"
"Yes we now have the results of the x-ray, he doesn't have a head fracture but his right leg is injured and there are some abrasions. We have to but bandage to it to be sure that the misaligned bone will come back to its proper position. And since that is the case he may not be able to walk for a few days, and we would still be conducting some tests on him to be on the safe side."
Anna flinched and automatically touched her forehead. It only means that she will have to squeeze him into her schedule. What would she do? She had a schedule meeting tonight with one of their clients and she hasn't even checked in into her hotel for crying out loud!
"Is the patient conscious now?"
Doctor Faust shakes his head no.
Strike two.
"But he's out of danger now right? So maybe we could now move him to a private room. I will take care of the expenses."
Anna went directly to the billing department. She made it sure that there is a private nurse and doctor that will take care of him. She even gets their contact numbers, name and the room where he would be transferred. After arranging his accommodations, she went back to the E.R. checked on him.
The guy looks like he's just sleeping, his face looks peaceful and serene, she can't help but touch his face.
Soft, smooth and flawless
'You have the skin of a movie star' Anna thought as she remembered her favorite actor Tom Cruise. "Just stay here, don't worry I'll be back tonight. I hope you will get well soon" she muttered before leaving the emergency room.
Even though the place is now in the party mood, complete with all the partying and having fun, Anna couldn't make herself match their mood when her mind is still wandering… still thinking about the condition of the guy she had just hit this morning.
'Is he awake now? What would be the doctor's findings on him?' Anna can't really help but ask to herself as she keeps seeing the face of the guy in her mind.
"Good evening Miss Kyouyama…"
She was drifted back to reality and automatically faced the person who greeted her.
"Mr. Camel Munzer!" she then flashed a smile and shakes his hand.
"Well, Ms. Kyouyama are you enjoying the party?"
"I'm impressed actually; I didn't know that Golem constructions would be this big. I think I've seen almost a hundred managers and supervisors tonight."
"That's not all, you haven't seen our agents, those are just field supervisors. Not to mention our laborers. Just imagine what kind of investment Funbari Lending will have if you will invest capital in us and would be backed up by Funbari Realty."
Anna smiled, it's still early but Mr. Munzer is already talking business, she just took a sip in her champagne then said, "Now that were on the subject, shall we get down to business?"
"That is what I like about you Miss Kyouyama, you're always straight forward. Idle talk to kill time is out of your character" Camel then assisted Anna top one of the tables near the stage.
"Let's just say that I still have to go somewhere else."
"Oh I see you have a date…"
Anna blushed, she didn't know why the face of guy suddenly popped in her mind, "No, it's not like that, there is just a friend of mine that I need to visit in the hospital."
"I'm sorry to hear that"
"It's alright."
In the next minutes they formally discussed the proposal of the owner of Golem Constructions Corporation. Anna listened carefully and made notes, following Jeanne's advice. Golem Constructions is asking a big favor, so they are seeing this as an investment if they ever granted their request so if in the future that will need their help they won't have any trouble.
After their meeting, Anna shakes hands with Camel, "It's been a pleasure talking business with you Mr. Munzer. I really hate to go but someone is waiting for me."
"You're friend, I know. Don't worry, and besides it's the party of my company so I should enjoy myself right?"
"You're right Mr. Munzer," Anna then smiled sweetly at him.
While on her car, Anna is still worried about the guy in the hospital, even if how many times she said to herself that he will be alright, a part of her still gives a warning signal, 'What if she accidentally killed him?' it said.
That thought give shiver down her spine so even though she is already going to the hospital she still searched for her cell phone and was about to dial the nurse's number when it rang.
"Hello…"
"Miss Kyouyama?"
"Yes. Who's this?"
"It's Eliza the patient's nurse. I'm just calling because the doctor says to inform you if there are some developments on the state of the patient. As of this time the patient is already showing manifestations of consciousness."
"Really?" Anna now knows why she had been thinking of him earlier, "That's good… I'll be there in 15 minutes."
"Yes ma'am."
She was looking forward to seeing the man awake. She has so many questions to ask him. Until now she still doesn't know his real identity; where he lives…
If he's still single…
'Wait- where did that came from?' she asked herself as she now focused on driving. Anyway she will find out later.
Yoh opened his eyes, and at first glance it seems that he is not familiar of the place.
'No, I'm just not used to having a long sleep. It's been ages since I've had a long days rest. Of course this is my room.' He said to himself.
He still gave himself a little more time to adjust to his surroundings, for as far as he knows it is his room. But a particular thing made him think twice about the place…
The mattress and the bed, it's a little bit hard and small
His bed is a queen size water bed. He instantly got off the bed and a nurse is seen hovering over him.
"Sir, you've already woke up"
"Huh? Who are you?"
"I'm Eliza, the nurse that's been taking care of you since this morning."
"Since this morning?" he asked not understanding what she is saying.
"Yes"
That made him think, and his brain didn't fail to reconcile the previous event this morning. He clearly remembered everything, they were in Aomori, filming his latest movie, and he tried to get away from his fans, running away when a red sports utility vehicle hit him. After that he can't remember what happened next, he must've lost consciousness.
A while later his recollecting of the scene stopped when someone entered the door. A pretty lady; tall, sleek, golden blond tresses tied up in a chignon, amber eyes, regal air, sophisticated in purple halter top cocktail dress.
The nurse then acknowledge the visitor, "Ma'am the doctor's instincts are correct, this would be good news to you. He's not in a state of coma after all, he's just sleeping. The patient's out of danger now."
He had clearly seen the look of relief that adorned her lovely face, her face was now relaxed. 'She must've been the driver of the car that hit me' Yoh thought.
In less than a minute, the lady was in front of him, "Welcome back…"
"Welcome back?" he innocently asked.
"Welcome back to the world of the living. You really scared the hell out of me. I thought I accidentally killed you. I just wanted to say sorry for what happened."
The nurse coughed and interrupted their conversation, "I'll just go out and inform the doctor that he is conscious now so he can be given medicine."
"Thanks nurse. Eliza's your name right?"
"Yes, ma'am"
"Thanks again Eliza."
"You're welcome."
After the nurse walked out of the door, Anna turned back to him.
"So how are feeling now?"
"Believe it or not, I feel refreshed. It feels like I've had a full days rest."
"You've had a long sleep."
"Yeah. But I'm alright now. Maybe what you can do now is to just arrange for my discharge here. I need to go back to the hotel where our staff is staying. They are worried by now, that's for sure."
"Staff? You mean you're not living here in Aomori?"
"No. we are just here to do some filming,"
"Filming?"
"Yes we are filming for a movie," Yoh even felt a little bit insulted. The woman seems genuinely puzzled, which means she hadn't recognized him.
"Didn't you recognize me?" he asked.
Anna's brow started to twitch, "W-Why? Have we met each other before?" she asked back while trying to remember where and when could she have met him.
"I'm a movie star, hello!"
