AN: Thank you for the reviews, it's really motivating. That one, a little more dramatic then the previous chapter. Because I mean it can't be all about fun right? Right? RIGHT? Ok getting of track. I'm glad someone appreciated the tomato sauce comment from Anna. Was afraid it would be a bit weird since her character suppose to be sort of "dark" in this story, but I guess few jokes can't hurt. Ok moving on, new chapter.

Chapter 3:

Anna, Pirika and Tamao, sitting side-by-side on one side of the jet's "living room", were looking incredulously at the showdown displayed before their very eyes.

- How long have they been fighting over these peanuts now?

Anna checked her watch.

- About 25 minutes, she answered Tamao.

- Right. Do you think if we all take off our shirts they'll stop?

- Not a chance, Pirika intervened, I already tried it, didn't work.

Tamao, who had only been joking, and Anna turned their attention on her.

- Are you serious?

- You took your shit off in front of MY fiancé? Wait cross that. You took your shirt of in front of YOUR brother?

Pirika shrugged.

- Desperate time call for desperate measure.

Anna recognized she'd made a fine point. The flight to Patch Village had been a pretty long one with all the "friendly arguments" "friendly fights" and "friendly spirit battles" between the boys. Obviously, the fact that they were all 17 soon to be 18 hadn't quite sank in yet and the boys were ever so determined to have a male get together bonding time. But Yoh, Ren, Choco, Horo and Ryu had been busy making up for lost times in their own way for long enough in her opinion. Even in Manta's opinion who was now busy talking with the pilot.

- How about we move to that little room in the back? Tamao proposed, and try and get some sleep.

- I have a better idea, Pirika exclaimed while the three walked down to the cabin, GIRL TALK!!

- Here it goes, groaned Anna

- Come on ladies. We haven't seen each other since forever! Tamao, any boyfriend? Anna how's it going with Yoh?

- I love it how girl talk our always all about guys, commented Anna

- Fine. SEX TALK! Anna, tell us everything. Is it any good?

- Pirika!! Tamao exclaimed blushing furiously

Anna thought she probably didn't want to hear about her crush's sex life. She almost felt bad for Tamao.

- More like inexistent, she stated

- Oh?

Tamao looked relieved. That pissed her off. Yeah so what?

- You prefer to wait? Asked Pirika in a compassionate voice.

- Yeah, sure, that's it.

Sounded better then, my fiancé never tries anything with me, let alone touch me EVER. Pirika didn't know she'd hit on something that was troubling her quite often. When was the last time they'd even kiss? More then a year ago when she had been kidnap by some crazy Shaman who tried to coerce Yoh into giving up his title to him in exchange for her life or something. He had seemed so relieved to get her back she remembered he'd kiss her quickly. Almost to check she was really alive or something. Desperate time called for desperate measure. What? She? Sarcastic? No!

- Why do we have to go to Patch Village anyway? Questioned Pirika

- Because I have to, and I don't trust anyone with the house.

- Besides, Tamao added, I like Shaman gatherings. It's going to be like the tournament, except kind of smaller.

- And minus the psychopath trying to take over the world. But yeah I guess it won't be too bad.

At that moment, Horo Horo burst into the room.

- I'm very proud to inform you that I, Horo, have won over the peanuts!

Pirika groaned.

- Oh shut up.

Manta woke up around 3 am because he really really needed to pee. Yes, it does happen to guys too. It kind of pissed him off, cause with Ryu's snoring he would not be falling back asleep any time soon. He sighed and walked to the bathroom sleepily, but stopped in his track when he realised Yoh was gone from the room. That's when Manta noticed some soft crying noises coming from where the girls were sleeping. He passed his head through the curtains and witnessed one of the strangest scenes he had seen in his life. Yoh was kneeled down beside Anna, trying to hold her down as she was trashing and gasping for air, tears rolling down her face, her arms reaching out to push away some invisible force. She seemed to be in some sort of trance or something. Tamao was looking at the whole scene worriedly.

- Anna it's ok, nobody's hurting you, was whispering Yoh, looking incredibly calm seeing how strange it was to see the great, untouchable Anna in such a state.

- What's wrong with her? Inquired Tamao, is she sick?

- What's wrong with her, Manta cut in looking at Pirika who was sleeping on peacefully, is she deaf?

- She obviously inherited the same "I can sleep through anything" genes as her brother, noted Yoh. Come on Anna your safe I won't let anybody hurt you.

- Who's hurting you Anna? Manta asked trying to help

She was looking so pale and frighten, like a small child dreaming of the boogieman. It was strange seeing her like this, in such a vulnerable state. She was whimpering incoherent phrases.

- What?

- She won't answer she's asleep, Tamao explained, I already tried that.

Manta felt stupid and completely at loss. He wondered how Yoh managed to act so tranquil, like he was used to it or something. Although looking at his friend closely, Manta noticed concern was spread on his features. Yoh, seeing his fiancée was no getting any calmer, had lifted her in his arms and placed her on his lap, now rocking her gently.

- Promise me, she murmured, promise you'll stay here or they'll kill you…

- What is she saying?

Tamao was looking more and more anxious.

- I don't know Yoh said looking a bit sad, she always says that when she has a nightmare.

- What? Exclaimed Manta, you mean this has happened before… Wow! What's happening?

Objects, notably the girls belonging and a lamp, had started floating around the room.

- Oh no, whispered Yoh, not again. Anna wake up! Please you have to wake up now! You're safe stop doing that!

Ok, now Manta was beyond shocked.

- She's doing this? She's making all this stuff fly??! Yoh that's impossible…

- This is getting a bit too much for me you guys, Tamao whimpered clearly freaked out

As if she had heard her, Anna seemed to calm down and started sobbing quietly into Yoh's neck, while he proceeded in stroking her hair. The flying clothes and bags fell back to the floor.

- That's why you wanted to go to Patch Village, Manta realised, so Sylva to could see what's wrong with her…

- There's nothing wrong with her, Yoh cut in calmly, look you can go back to bed I have this under control ok Manta? And don't talk about this to the others.

Not really knowing what he was supposed to do and how he could help out, Manta obliged. He felt he had witnessed a very private moment of his friend life and it was making him uneasy. As close as he was to Yoh, Manta knew that neither he nor the others knew anything about this almost secret part of his life that was his relationship with Anna. Manta always wondered what Yoh really thought of her. She had showed on various occasions that she cared and maybe even loved Yoh in her own way, but he just seemed to take her presence and his relationship with her for a fact over which he had no control at all. But how could he not? If he didn't want to be with her, surely his grandma wouldn't force him? And he wasn't 13 anymore, it's not like before where anyway, a relationship with any girl didn't interest him. So did he want to be with Anna? He had seemed worried back there despite his effort to remain appeasing, and Manta was now sure he was at least partly going to Patch Village for her sake. He wondered if Anna had dreams like these frequently. Seeing how Yoh was handling it, she probably did. And that meant Yoh really had to put a lot of efforts into being there for her after all. So he did care then. Maybe the two of them had a closer relationship then he thought. But how come Yoh was so discreet about it? If she were really important wouldn't he talk more about her? This was too confusing. He'd have to ask Yoh about it. Or maybe he could ask Ren? Or maybe…zzZZzzz…

- Well she had a bad night!

Anna and Pirika were looking over at Tamao who, past noon, was still asleep. Which was really not like her.

- Should we wake her up? Pirika ask, we're gonna be landing soon.

Without waiting for Anna's answer she started to stir the other girl up. Anna shrugged and joined the boys in the next compartment.

- Hey Anna! You're all right? How do you feel? Did you sleep well?

Anna raised an eyebrow at Manta's flow of question.

- I'm fine. But if you don't stop bugging me I can't guarantee you will be so cut it out Shorty!

That seemed to quiet the little man down. What was up with him anyway? He was looking at her weirdly. She was about to say something when she noticed Yoh was still asleep.

- Oh you cannot be serious! She exclaimed rolling her eyes at Ren

He shrugged.

- We tried!

She went over to Yoh and made a pleasure out of screaming in his ears to wake him up.

- It's past noon you lazy ass, we're lending soon so WAAAAAKE UUUUUUUUP NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!

He did. Good to see she still had it in her.

- What's up with you anyway? She questioned, it's not like you were out all night or anything and everyone one else has been awaked for ages.

- I, uh, well the thing is… Yoh started looking embarrass

- Don't get angry with him Anna, Tamao interrupted, it wasn't his fault.

Come to think of it, Tamao had been sleeping late too.

- Oh? And whose fault is it then? Questioned Anna suspiciously

- Uh, well, uh, it's my fault! See I couldn't sleep, cause, I had a vision that we would uh…crash. So I woke Yoh up…to uh…warn him.

- Exactly! She wanted me to see if I could sense anything coming up as well! Yoh concluded glancing a grateful look at Tamao

This sounded weird and Anna didn't like it one bit. And what was with the conspiring looks? She felt she was missing something out here. Since when did these two have a connection or secrets? Well if that's how it was, why didn't Yoh marry Tamao or something, like that they could have loads of vision together and live happily ever after! Oh god maybe that was it! Yoh was cheating on her with Tamao! That's why she blushed at Pirika's questions on how good he was in bed: Because she had experienced it first hand!! That was it! That little traitorous pink haired bitch was totally going down! No one touched her Yoh and got away with it unscathed…

- Buckle up you guys we're landing! Said Manta coming out from the pilot's cabin.

- Finally! Horo exclaimed, Believe it or not, I was starting to feel a little bit tensed in here!

…And even if she was probably being completely irrational due to jealousy, still nobody made secrets with her Yoh! Who did she think she was?

- No seriously… Doesn't anybody feel any tension?

- Oh shut up Horo! Pirika concluded

AN: ok done. hope you guys like it. Review, even if it's bad reviews or correct the spelling mistakes reviews, because there's probably TONS. There's no point in writing if you don't have an audience, so do your thing!
