Chapter 4: Boundless Hate?
Anna's eyes glared at Yoh as he walked back in the inn, dripping all over the wooden flooring.
But…this glare was different from the ones she gave him back when she trained him.
Her glares were full of…loathing and hate.
Yoh knew this…her glares were as cold as the arctic. But he didn't care. Why should he care? Something in him made him different. Made him colder. He wasn't sure what…or why, but he acted as if he cared for nothing.
The Yoh that loved Anna was no more. The crybaby who cried on his brother's grave. The hypocrite who still cared for Anna. The Yoh whom Hao had seen last was back.
Now, it's for real. No more caring, no more guilt.
"Suck it up. Hao is dead. Dead." He said in a very unfeeling tone as he walked up the stairs. Anna's tear-stained eyes widened.
"No…he…he isn't dead!!!" she shouted at him, her eyes brimming with tears; the dark circles under her eyes showing as the light shone on them.
Yoh shifted his gaze to Anna, not moving his head.
"Accept it. You're stuck with me for the rest of your life. You've nowhere to go; you're lucky I even let you in my house." He paused at bit, checking her from head to toe. He smirked. "Why the tears, Anna? I'm the one who should be crying. After all, you've rejected me before." He continued, his voice sounding colder by the second. Anna was speechless. Yoh, satisfied with the effect of his words, continued upstairs and went in his room, leaving a crying Anna behind, her icy mask in pieces.
Yoh slumped on the floor with the door behind his back. He broke down into tears.
"Why the heck did I say those things??"
Sorry for such a short chapter. I promise to make the later ones more interesting. xD
