He watched her as she walked around her room, watching as she seemed to get more frustrated by the second. He could feel her hate coming off her in waves that made him almost giddy; if possible.

"Yes…she's the one…" he whispered.

xXxXx

When Yoh woke up he knew that something was wrong. There wasn't any noise; it was the opposite. Everything was quiet. But he could feel that something was off. He stood up, walked to the door and slid it open. He looked around, but nothing seemed different. He went down stairs and saw that the back door was opened. He frowned and walked over. Sitting on the back porch, leaning against one of the posts, was Anna.

She was still in her white yukata and was fast asleep. Even though he smiled his eyes showed concern. It was the middle of the night so why was she outside when it was freezing.

"No…don't…not a…again…"she mumbled in her sleep. Yoh noticed that her face was a bit flushed, despite the cold whether.

Yoh walked over to her and picked her bridal style. When he touched her he noticed she stopped talking in her sleep.

He placed her down gently on her futon and watched her sleep.

'Was she thinking outside and just fell asleep?' he wondered. He smiled as he remembered how she would do that a lot when they were little.

He reatched forward and gently brushed some of her hair away from her face.

"Good night Anna,' he whispered. He bent, gently pressed his lips against her forehead, and left.


The next day, to Yoh's relief, they didn't have school. He was relieved for two reasons,

1. He doesn't care much for school

And 2. He was afraid that Anna might be getting sick.

She seemed fine when she woke up, and apparently didn't remember going outside, but Yoh was still worried. Which seemed to annoy her.

"I'm fine," she snapped. "So stop worrying and get the groceries!"

So that's what Yoh was doing right now. On his way to the store.

"Yoh-Dono, are you alright?" Amidamaru appeared beside him.

"Huh? Oh yeah, just tired," Yoh grinned.

"YOH!" he turned around to see HoroHoro and Manta running up to him. When they got to him Yoh noticed a hand mark on HoroHoro's left cheek.

"Hey guys, what's up," He said. "HoroHoro, what happened to your cheek?"

"don't ask…" He muttered. Manta, however, snickered.

"We went to your house to see you and when no one answered he just walked in and ended up waking up Anna-San," He explained.

"You woke her up? Do you have a death wish HoroHoro?" Yoh asked shocked and afraid. If Anna was in a bad mood when he got back…he shuddered.

"How was I supposed to know that she was sleeping?" HoroHoro exclaimed. He touched his cheek and winced. "Damn, she's stranger then she looks."

They started walking, Yoh and Manta laughing.

"Hey, we should all do something next weekend," Manta asked.

"Sure, what do you want to do?" HoroHoro said. It was Yoh, however, who suggested something.

"Well, Tamao is supposed to be coming to town soon, so we can go to that new Amusement park that just opened." he said.

"Cool, I'm all for it!" HoroHoro shouted.

"Sounds like fun," Manta agreed.

Yoh grinned and thought, 'I wonder if Anna will come, I hope she does,'


"The Amusement Park?" Anna looked up at him, an eye brow raised.

"Sure, it'll be fun," Yoh shrugged. He watched as Anna thought about it and grinned in when she shrugged.

"I guess," She said. She wasn't in a bad mood to his relief but she did seemed tired. That made him worry. Wasn't she getting enough sleep?

He went and sat beside, watching the T.V. It was one of the Soap Operas she liked to watch. He didn't understand a thing about her love for them, he thought they were kinda far fetched.

Either way, he watched it and in turn, it confused him.

"Why's he doing that?"

"…."

"Why did she slap him?"

"…"

"Why is he-"

"Shut up," She finally snapped at him. Yoh smirked. He knew she'd get annoyed.

He yawned and laid down so his head was in her lap. Though she didn't react he could see a very faint blush on her cheeks. Cute!

"What are you doing?" she asked coldly.

"I'm tired," He said calmly. He had his same old stupid grin on his face.

"Then go lay down in your room."

"But I wanna lay here," Yoh whined. Anna rolled her eyes. He sound like a five year old instead of a sixteen year old.

"Get off." She said.

"No."

"Now."

"No."

"…" Yoh could feel her annoyance coming off her in waved. He smirked and continued to lay there. After a few minutes he felt her run her fingers through his hair. He glanced up at her but she was looking at the T.V. but somehow he got the feeling that she wasn't really watching because her eyes seemed to have a blank look in them.

"Hey." he said.

"Hmm?" she answered, but didn't look at him.

"Let's go for a walk." her hand stopped and she finally looked down at him.

"Why?" she lifted an eyebrow at him.

Yoh sat up so he could look at her better. "Because we haven't gone for one together for awhile. Come on let's go." he stood up and headed for the door. Looking over his shoulder he said, "Hurry up Anna." he laughed when he saw her expression.

Yoh POV

We walked around the pond not saying anything. It wasn't an awkward silence but peaceful. I didn't mind not talking and neither did Anna. She doesn't feel the need to fill in every silence like most girls do.

We walked around the pond three times before anything was said.

"I don't like her." Huh? Her?

"Um, who?" I asked, uncertain.

"Kitsune Melin." oh.

"Anna, You have no reason to be jealous," I said, smiling. And I was telling the truth.

"I'm not jealous Yoh," she stopped and looked out at the water. Her face was blank making it hard to tell what she was feeling. "If I feel jealous it mean I don't believe in you. But I do." I couldn't help but blush. Why did she have to be so blunt about everything? Not that it was a bad just…embarrassing at times. Like this.

"Anna…" what do I say? "You don't have to worry. I only like Melin as a friend."

She looked at me. I could see amusement in her eyes. But there was something else. Something familiar but I couldn't place it.

"I know. But that's not why I don't like her." oh.

"Then wha-"

"I don't like liars."

I frowned at her. Liars? But how has Melin been-

"She's a Shaman Yoh."
