Yoh looked at Anna, whose head was leaning against the window of the train. He could tell that she was about to fall asleep any minute now.

"Hey, Anna," Yoh winced when HoroHoro called her name. you just don't bother Anna when she's tired. He saw annoyance pass over Anna's face before she turned to look at the blue haired Ainu who was looking over from were he sat across the aisle with Tamao.

"Nani?" Yup, she was annoyed.

"I was wondering…why Melin did all that?" he asked. Everyone went quiet on the train as they waited for an answer. Yoh looked back at Anna. She closed her eyes and took her time before answering.

"Her parents…died when she was young. The people she lived with were her god parents. They never told her and the only reason she found out was because of that damn Oni Kira." she paused, trying to calm herself down.

'So that's what she meant when she said 'At least they didn't lie to me'' Ren thought. He saw Anna give a small nod in her direction before she continued.

"Like everyone else Kira made the darkness in her heart stronger then it was suppose to be. Believe it or not she actually tried fighting it but it ended up…eating away…at her…soul…" Yoh saw a sad look come to eyes before they closed, as she fell asleep.

Yoh smiled sadly as he grabbed a blanket and put in on her. "Let's let her rest guys, I don't think she's slept the last few days." he said softly. The all agreed and went back to their business.

"She sure is something," Yoh looked up to see his brother looking over the seat in front of him. He was looking down at Anna, a soft look in his eyes.

"Yeah, she is," Yoh agreed. "I wonder why she looks so much like her thought…"

Hao shrugged before sitting back down. "Who knows."

"Hey, where's Matamune?" Now that Yoh thought about it, he couldn't see the Nekomata anywhere.

"He's visiting with your grandmother for awhile then he's going back."

"Oh." Yawning, Yoh leaned back and with a last glance at Anna, he too fell asleep.

What seemed like seconds he was being shaken awake by HoroHoro.

"Wha-"

"Hurry up, everyone else already got off the train." He said, annoyed.

"Huh?" he looked beside him and saw that Anna was gone. "Where's Anna?"

"She already got off. She said something like, 'If he's too lazy to get up leave him.'"

"Oh."

Yoh and HoroHoro got off the train to see a nice limo waiting.

"Ah sweet is that for us?" HoroHoro exclaimed.

"No, it's for me," Ren smirked opening the door.

"What? You can't even give us a ride?" Said HoroHoro in disbelief.

"No."

"WHY YOU-"

"Well, thanks for everything Ren," Yoh waved.

"Hmp, just know that you owe me for this Asakura," Ren said, but he had a friendly look in his eyes.

"I know, but visit again soon. We gotta stick together," Yoh laughed.

"Like Cheese Cake!" Chocolove yelled, wearing a cheese cake hat. Everyone starred at him, not sure what to say. Anna looked like she didn't know whether to slap him or send her Shikigami on him. Lyserg's mouth fell open and Yoh and Hao starred in disbelief at the bad comedian.

"Chocolove…"

"Kisama…"

Before Ren and HoroHoro could start beating him up they heard a small, soft, laugh. They turned around to see Jeanne covering her mouth with both hands, trying hard not to laugh.

"Your kidding me," HoroHoro said.

"You actually find that funny?" Ren asked. She shook her head, tears starting to run down her face.

"It's…it's such a-a bad joke," She laughed. "That it's-it's funny." now she was laughing full out, her arms wrapped around her stomach.

"You have a weird sense of humour," Ren muttered.

"Finally someone finds my jokes funny," Chocolove said, his eyes glowing. "Did you forget that she said it was bad?" He turned to stone at Anna's comment.

"Heh Heh, give him a break Anna,' Yoh laughed.

Still giggling, Jeanne waved at everyone before climbing into the limo. "Bye everyone, it was nice seeing everyone again. Good bye Lyserg."

"Wait, why is she going with you?" HoroHoro asked Ren. He smirked and just climbed in after her.

"Damn, don't tell me their going out?" HoroHoro muttered.

"Who knows, what are you going to do?" Yoh asked him.

"Well, I think I might go back home for awhile, take a break from everything."

"Lyserg?"

"Well, I'm going to take Kiyoko back to England with me and see if we can find her brother. Chocolove's coming too, since he's gonna travel, right?"

"Yup,"

"Which leaves you," Anna turned her glare on Hao, who smiled.

"Don't worry. Like promised I'll be leaving. After I rest and have something to eat of course," He added to annoy her. It worked.

She sighed as she sat in her Hot Spring, thinking over what happened over the past week. Months. It was dark out by now.

"I thought I got rid of the darkness in my heart," Anna said softly. Her voice seemed to echo into the night. "I thought that after my Oni's were defeated six years ago, I would finally become stronger, and not feel that pain again. But I guess I was only fooling myself. Deep down, I still felt a loneliness I couldn't understand, that I ignored." she looked up at the sky were the stars were burning brightly. The moon shone even brighter, casting it's silver light on everything. "But now I know better. I know that I have friends that care about me, I'm not alone and I have something to protect. I won't give in so easily. So there's no need to check up on me, Yoh."

He was leaning against the wall by the entrance of the Hot Spring, not saying anything. He knew that Anna knew he was there even though he was on the other side of the doors but he didn't make any motion to move. He heard the water splashing a bit and after a minute the door opened to reveal Anna in her Yukata, water dripping down the ends of her hair. She didn't say anything, just walked forward with Yoh behind her. When they got upstairs Yoh finally spoke.

"Can…will you…sleep with me tonight, Anna?" He spoke softly. His hair was covering his eyes.

She looked at him, an unusual soft look in her eyes. She nodded and he let out a sigh of relief.

Anna followed him and wasn't expecting him to round on her, hugging so tight it made it hard to breath.

"Yoh, what are you-"

"I'm sorry," he whispered in her ear.

"What are you talking about?"

"I'm sorry."

Anna stiffened, realising what he was doing. "Don't apologise idiot." she said.

"I'm sorry." he needed to let her know that he was, and that it wasn't her fault that all this happened.

"Stop saying that," her voice was almost lower then a whisper.

"I'm sorry Anna," he said again. "I didn't mean to scare you like that. I didn't mean to make you go through that, I promise to never hurt you like that again, you can count on that. I'll always be here for you, both of you ."

Anna's body started to shake as she tried to hold back her tears. "You idiot I…I…I…" she said.

"I know," Yoh lead her over to the Futon and held her gently as she cried silently. He pushed her hair out of her face and kissed her softly.

"If you ever scare me like that again," Anna said softly when they broke apart. "You'll wish you were back in Hell."

Yoh chuckled. No matter what Anna was always Anna. The person he loved dearly.

"Don't worry, I won't." he said, as he watched her fall asleep.

He would always protect her, never letting anything like that happen again. He loved her, and she loved him. Even if she showed it differently then everyone else. Maybe that's why he cared so much for her.

"Go to sleep, your thoughts are annoying," Anna muttered, her eyes still closed. A blush came to Yoh's cheeks before he smiled Sheepishly.

"Heh, Heh, sorry." pulling the blanket over both of them he whispered.

"Good night Anna, I love you."

"I love you too, now shut up I'm tired," she answered, a small smile on her face.

Chuckling, Yoh pulled her closer, his hands resting on her belly, where their unborn child was. He knew, right here and now, he was even more in love with his Fiancée then before. And he didn't care if she knew it or not.

That's the end. Next there the Epilogue.
