Anna walked ahead of Yoh, looking annoyed. She had an umbrella in her hand while Yoh was carrying both of their bags in the rain since Anna refused to let him use the umbrella also. Even though it was his.
"Anna, why are you mad at me?" he asked.
"…" no answer. Of course.
Yoh sighed, trying to figure out what was on his fiancées mind. He was lost in his thoughts he didn't notice that Anna stopped walking until he almost walked into her.
"Anna?" he said confused.
"What do you think about that new girl?" she asked. Yoh's eyes widened in understanding. He smiled at her. He moved the bags so he was carrying both of them in one hand and grabbed Anna's hand, the one that wasn't holding the umbrella.
"She seems nice. But you know that I care about you, right?" he said. He loved the way she acted when they were alone. Like her real self, instead of the cold hearted girl she acted with everyone else.
"I know, I was just asking don't read to much into a simple question." Even though she pulled her hand free she didn't step away. "Let's go, I'm cold." she said. This time she let Yoh under the umbrella.
Anna woke up early the next morning. She laid in her futon, not moving. The sun was just rising so everything in her room was being lit by a faint light.
She was thinking about, well, everything. The Shaman Fight, Yoh, life. Lately she's been feeling lonely and she didn't know why. When the light in her room got really bright and she decided it was time to get up.
She changed into her uniform and went down stairs, where Yoh was putting breakfast on the table.
"Ohayo," she said sitting down.
"Ah, Ohayo Anna," Yoh grinned. They ate in silence until HoroHoro stopped by to walk with them.
"Hey guys, let's go!" he shouted from outside. Yoh laughed with Anna looked annoyed.
"How can anyone be this loud in the morning?" she muttered.
"That's HoroHoro for you," Yoh chuckled.
They put their dishes away and went outside to meet their blue haired friend.
"Hey HoroHoro where's Prilika?" Yoh asked.
"She's gone back home for awhile, got homesick," HoroHoro shrugged.
"That's too bad." Yoh sighed.
"No it's not, one annoying Ainu is more then enough." Anna said in her calm voice.
"True." HoroHoro Nodded. Then he realised what she said and started to freak.
"Don't take it personally BoroBoro," Yoh said, trying to calm him down.
"WHO THE HELL IS BOROBORO?"
'Bakas…' Anna thought, waking faster to get away from them.
When they got to school Anna went straight to her desk and began to read a book. Yoh was talking with HoroHoro and Manta when Melin came in.
"Ohayo!" she said walking, or skipping, towards Yoh.
"Ohayo," he said.
"Hey Yoh, can you do me a favour?" she asked him, batting her eyelashes at him.
"Uh, sure, maybe," Yoh said, worried. He was very, very, very, aware of Anna's gaze on him.
"It's nothing to big, I just need someone to help me move some stuff in my house." She said, smiling. Her eyes flickered over to Anna.
"Uh, sure, HoroHoro could help," Yoh said. HoroHoro nodded.
"Ok, thanks!" Melin smiled and headed over to her desk. As she glanced over at Anna who was still reading, Melin realised that Yoh didn't get to answer her question about weather or not Anna was his sister. All he said was, "Anna's not-" not what? Mean? his sister but cousin?
Questions were running through her head so much that she didn't notice that Anna had put her book down and was glaring at her until she spoke.
"Will you starring at me," Anna said, annoyed. "If you have something to say, say it."
Anna watched as the longhaired girl blinked looking startled. Did this girl really think that she wouldn't notice her looking at her for five minutes without noticing?
Finally Melin recovered and shrugged. "Sorry, I was just wondering something and didn't know I was starring." she said innocently.
Anna raised an eyebrow before standing up and walking towards Yoh.
"Yoh."
"Ah, Anna, what's up?" he asked her.
"If your going over to her house be back by dinner. And if you make me wait there will be consequences," she said. Yoh watched her as she went back to her desk. He couldn't help but feel amused. He liked it when Anna felt jealous. It made her even more cute. Until she punished him later for it…
When Anna sat down Melin looked at her confused.
"What do you mean, "Be back by dinner"?" she asked.
"…" no answer. Of course.
Anna leaned against the door frame, watching Yoh put his sandals on.
"I won't be too long Anna, I promise to be back by dinner." He grinned at her. Her expression remained blank but he could tell that she was annoyed. Very annoyed.
"Hey," Yoh said softly. "I'm just going over to help move some stuff around, then I'll be right back. Plus HoroHoro is going to be there, so you don't have to worry."
"I am not worried," Anna snapped. "Why would I be? Unless you do plan on doing something." she turned to walk away but Yoh caught her wrist. She stopped but didn't turn around.
"Anna…" Yoh started but she interrupted him.
"Don't be late," she said. Yoh let go of her wrist and watched her before he left.
Anna sat in her room, starring at the wall. Her head was hurting. a lot. But she ignored because she knew why it did.
She was, even though she wouldn't dare say it out loud, jealous. She had a bad feeling about that Melin girl, and it didn't help that Yoh was willing to go over to her house when he barely knew her, even if HoroHoro was there also. Then again, she reflected, that was Yoh for you. He's always kind no matter what, that's why she loved him.
She heard the door open and voices from down stairs. She got up and glanced at the clock. 5:30, he was late.
When she got down stairs her eyes narrowed for she saw her least favourite person.
"Ah, Anna, I know I'm late, we kinda lost track of time," Yoh said scratching the back of his head.
"Don't worry about it," Anna said, leaning against the wall.
"Ah, really?" Yoh looked exited.
"You can make up for it by doing 500 push ups after you've made dinner, then ding 100 laps around town when your down that," She continued.
"Anna…" Yoh cried waterfall tears.
"Don't be mean Anna, Yoh's just a little bit late, you shouldn't punish him," Melin frowned. She didn't like Anna even more now. Not only did she find out that these two lived together, but that they were engaged. ENGAGED!
'Oh well, at least it's only an arranged marriage,' Melin comforted herself. 'That means I could still have a chance.'
"I told him to be on time and he didn't listen. Anyway, what are you doing in my house?" Anna glared at her.
Yoh, sensing a dangerous atmosphere, said quickly, "Melin wanted to see were we lived, that's all. So, what would you like to eat Anna?"
Anna looked at him with a bored expression. "Doesn't matter, just make sure it tastes good." she turned around and walked to the living room.
Melin glared at after, wondering how someone could be so cold. "She's awful," she muttered.
"No, she's just Anna being Anna," Melin looked up at Yoh and was shocked to see that he had a smile on his face.
Yoh said good bye to Melin and went to cook diner. He had fun there but he really wanted to get home sooner. He liked Melin but only as a friend. So Anna didn't have to feel jealous. Right?
When he finished he went to the living to tell Anna that the food was ready.
"Anna, diner's re-AH!" he went flying backwards as he got hit by Zenki and Kouki, the two Shikigamis that she took from Hao.
"That was for being late and bringing another girl over with my permission," she said calmly walking past him as he laid bleeding and crying on the floor.
"Gomanai…" He mumbled, his face swelling. Like he said earlier; she was cute when she was jealous...until she punished him.
The blond Itako had a small smile on her lips as she passed.
