Summary: Something I wrote on how Pirika see's Yoh and Anna.

Story

"The grass swayed to and fro

Moving gracefully with the wind

Where ever it may go

No questions asked

No limits set

Was it trust?

I raised my hand to you

Hoping you would hold it

You did.

No questions asked

No comments made

Was it faith?

You always smile

So I don't know, not sure

Did I make you smile?

No question asked

No limits set

Do I want to know?

I'm happy with you

I don't know why

Are you happy too?

No question asked.

No comments needed

I can feel it.

Yoh blinked dotted eyed while Anna just looked at Pirika indifferently.

Pirika lowered her paper and grinned at them, "Well? Was it good?"

Yoh grinned sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head with one hand, "Ah...well-?"

"I think I'm really getting the flare of this stuff. In this poem, the first stanza was from Anna then Yoh then Anna again and so like that. I tried to describe the two of you. You're special bond and ever-lasting love and ability to go through anything-" Pirika rushed to explain excitedly, her eyes moistening as she felt the passion flaring through her veins again. "How you do everything Anna asks without much as a complaint, oh of course you used to a lot before but now you barely seem annoyed and even before you never complained about her to anyone else, joke about her bossiness yes that is to be expected but you never gave up trying to change her and make her feel important and I think I JUST might have what it takes to become a great poetess! I think I captured everything about you both. How mysterious and enchanting-"

"It was good" Anna cut in impassively, bringing her teacup to her lips.

Yoh shot a quick one eyebrow raised glance at Anna before grinning at Pirika again.

"Really?! So that's what you two are really like?! I was right! I really was?!" Pirika started again, looking from Anna to Yoh to Anna and back to Yoh again. Apparently failing to notice the quick look Yoh had given Anna.

"Ahh…" Yoh blinked with mouth half open, trying to think of something to say.

Unfortunately, or fortunately Pirika didn't wait for his response.

"I knew it I knew it I knew it! I knew you two weren't that hard to figure out! At least not for me! And all those time the guys were just fussing over you for nothing! You won't believe what explanations they had! Horo Horo even went as far as to say Anna had you brainwashed and under a spell Yoh-"

"Ah!" Yoh started eyes wide as he tried to stop Pirika, feeling Anna growing angry. '…Great…'

"-And Amidamaru said you were too scared of her and too much of a gentleman to say anything much, Hao didn't say anything much I think he understood better than the rest of the guys, aside for me of course, but just wouldn't tell us God that guy is so irritatingly egoistic! I knew I had what it takes! Wait till I tell Horo Horo and the others!! I knew my explanation was the best! Everyone though seemed to agree with Horo Horo-"

Yoh sweat-dropped, feeling himself growing pale as Pirika mercilessly continued on. Silently, he started muttering prayers for Horo Horo.

"And Len said Yoh was just too much of a wimp to break it off but Manta seemed to agree with me a bit that there must be something between you two at least in Anna's part-"

"I think we got it Pirika" Yoh cut in hurriedly trying to silence the oblivious girl and hint her she was treading on dangerous grounds.

"No I think we should hear more what others have to say." Anna said smoothly taking another sip of her tea. Pirika started, shutting up quickly. Yoh sighed as Pirika forced a wide grin on her face. Her eyes not hiding the apparent fear and realization.

"Oh well, I'd love to but LOOK AT THE TIME! HAHAHA! I better get going, THANKYOU FOR LISTENING!! I need to go make my brother…train! So see ya later!" Pirika cried a bit too enthusiastically, before running out of the room in record speed.

There was silence for a moment as Anna continued to sip her tea and Yoh continued to stare where Pirika had been moments ago.

Anna broke the silence as she set her now empty cup down on the table, looking out the door at Pirika's retreating form. Yoh followed her gaze silently.

"What are those idiotic friends of yours up to this time?" Anna asked sharply as she and Yoh watched Pirika chatter off about something to a very attentive and wide eyed Horo Horo, Ren, Jun, Amidamaru, Ryu, Tamao and Manta. Hao just sat on the fence at the side of the group with a frustrated and tired look upon his face.

"Trying to figure us out it seems." Yoh blinked and sweat dropped, entranced at his friend's antics. Just then they heard Horo Horo shout in frustration, starting up a clearly audible argument with his sister. Yoh stared at them lazily, personally he always thought there was nothing much to figure out about him and Anna.

"HOW DOES THAT MAKE MORE SENSE?!" Yoh sweat-dropped as Horo Horo got into an even louder argument with his sister. The rest of the gang just nodded every now and then, God knows agreeing with which one of the Inu siblings.

"Are we that hard to figure out?" Yoh mused as he looked at his friend's behavior curiously. Ren suddenly sensing they were being watched looked towards the house. Anna with her elbow on the table and hand supporting her chin and Yoh with both his hands on the table looked back at him with half-lidded curious eyes.

Sweat-dropping, Ren dragged Horo Horo, still arguing with Pirika, away from sight as the rest of the group followed suit.

"Hmm." Anna murmured, eyes drooping lower at the group's antics, jerking Yoh stiff

"Yoh?"

"Y-Yeah?"

"Go get Groceries."

Yoh sighed half in relief, getting up, "Yes Anna."

Just as Yoh left, Anna picked up the piece of paper Pirika had left behind.

"No questions asked." She read to herself with a smirk, "Typical."
