13 years later…

"I don't want to meet her…" a boy with unruly blond hair muttered, walking slowly as if he could avoid what was coming.

Asakura Yoh looked over his shoulder at his son, looking amused. "Come on, your three years older then I was when I got engaged." he said.

"So? I don't have to marry her if I don't wanna," His son, Hana, said, stopping where he was, a stubborn expression on his face. He looked a lot like his mother when he did that.

"Yes you will."

"No I won't!"

"Do you want to tell your mother that?" Yoh watch as his son went pale. He walked faster, muttering something about, "…my father…kick him…so annoying…"

Yoh smiled, running a hand through his now long brown hair. He was twenty-nine now, His wife twenty-eight. Their son was thirteen and seemed to have both of their personalities, though Anna's seemed to be the dominate one at times.

When they got to their destination, the train station, they sat on a bench, waiting.

"Hey…have you talked to mom recently?" Hana asked, looking bored though inside he was really anxious. He was about to see his Fiancée for the very first time and he was just thirteen years old! How was that fair?

"Mmm…Not since New Years," Yoh said. .

"Oh…" After Kino passed away, Anna reluctantly took over and she visited for holidays like birthdays, Christmas through New Years, but other then that Hana and Yoh barely saw her.

"Hey, Is she-" Hana started but ended up jumping up as though the electrocuted him, standing stiff. The train was here.

Yoh, smiling and laughing at his son, stood and walked over to the door that was opening saying, "No need to be afraid Han-"

Smack!

Two bags hit Hana's father in the head, sending him flying backwards. "You can carry those, and why are you laying on the ground? Is that anyway to greet your wife?" Hana looked up at the train to see Asakura Anna, his mother, standing there, glaring down at her husband with cold eyes. Her hair had grown over the years, up to her knees. She was wearing a black heart stripped dress and a silver band around her head.

"Sorry Anna…" Yoh mumbled, rubbing his head where a bump was forming.

"Hmp," She turned and looked at Hana, who had walked over to her nervously. Her gaze softened a bit though they still held a fierce look in them. "Hello Hana, how have you been?"

"Hi Mom," Hana scratched the back of his head. "Um, so where's…you know,"

Anna smirked. "She's inside," walking over to her husband she called, "Hurry up Anna or we'll leave you behind," Over her shoulder.

Hana watched her go, confused. Anna?

"Hey there," Hana turned back to face the train and felt his face go red. A girl with blond hair and light brown eyes was inches away from his face. The left side of her hair was in a braid and a red bandana that had white Patch triangles on it covered her head. She wore a black dress that had loose frill at the bottom and at the top of her white boots.

"Ah!" Hana jumped back, startled.

"Your pretty cute I guess, but are you strong?" she asked, jumping off the train.

"What? Of course I am!" Hana shouted. "And who do you think you are, you don't just scare people like that."

The girl grinned. She held up a sword that obviously belonged to the Patch. "I am Itako no Anna the Third, fifteen years old, trained by your mother Anna the First. If you can beat me I'll marry you."

Hana starred at the girl, his mouth hanging open in shock. Was this girl for real?

Meanwhile Yoh and Anna started walking out of the station, leaving their son with his new wife.

"He's going to have his work cut out for him," Anna said, sighing.

"If she's your student then I'll have to agree." Yoh chuckled. Putting both bags in his right hand, he reatched and took Anna's with his other.

Everything was so peaceful now that you would never have guessed that the fait of humanity was saved, twice, thirteen years ago. Anna still had her Reishi, but it was very weak. Like with Yoh, she only heard thoughts if there was a strong feeling to them and they no longer burned nor bothered her. They were like a whisper in the wind.

In the distance you could hear Hana yelling in terror and the younger Anna's laughter. "Is that all you got? I thought you'd be stronger being the nephew of the Shaman King!" she shouted.

"Why you-" Hana's yell was cut short by another yelp. "HOW DO I FIGHT A GIRL DAMN IT!"

Yoh chuckled. "They seem like they'll get along."

His wife smirked. "They better or I'll want to know the reason why."

They left Hana behind to fight his Fiancée and headed back to the Inn. Even though Anna wasn't there as much, Yoh opened her Onsen like he promised. And like Anna said, their friends worked there. When they got there they were immediately greeted by their friends.

"About time, took you long enough," Ren sneered. Like Yoh, he let his hair grow long though some of it was tied up like is sister, Jun, used to have hers. Sitting beside him at the table was Lyserg, who looked the same just more handsome and not as much as a girl.

"Learn some patience China Boy," Anna said while Yoh asked, "Where's HoroHoro and Tamao?"

"Right here," a voice grunted. A man with messy, really messy, blue hair walked in, and right behind him, with her pink hair tied up, was his wife.

"Hello Anna-San," Tamao said, smiling. "How was the journey here?"

"It was too long for my liking, and I trust you've been keeping my Onsen in one piece," Anna gave her a small smile.

"Yes, don't worry. I've made sure everyone is on their best behaviour."

"The Hana-Gumi waitresses haven't been giving you trouble?" Somehow Anna had tracked them down and as repayment for bringing them back to life after the Shaman Fight, Anna made them work the Inn.

"Nope, not all," Tamao said. HoroHoro sighed.

"Anna, I swear she's almost as scary as you," Water fall tears started going down his face. "What happened to my cute shy little wife?"

"She's right here," Tamao pulled him by the ear, looking annoyed. She only let go when two little kids, a boy and girl, came running in. The girl had pink hair that went a few inches past her shoulders, like her fathers, had some black underneath. She ran over to Tamao and HoroHoro.

The boy had red eyes and silver hair that curled up in a spike. He went over to Ren.

"Tamiko, your Aunt Anna is here," Tamao smiled at her daughter.

"Hi Anna-San," Tamiko smiled.

"Why is she here?" The boy looked at Anna with narrowed eyes.

"Show respect, Kid," Anna glared down at him. He went a bit pale but didn't say anything else.

Yoh laughed and sat down beside Ren. "Where's Jeanne?"

"She wasn't up for traveling so she sent me and Men here instead," Ren said, taking a sip of his coffee.

"Yeah and he hasn't lifted a finger since he got here," HoroHoro glared at him. "Why do I have to work and he doesn't?"

"Because he runs the Onsen in China for me, that's why," Anna Said, walking out. "But now that I'm here he better expect work."

"So Anna, Yoh, where's little Hana?" HoroHoro asked. They were all in the sitting room, having drinks. They closed the Inn for that day.

"Meeting his Fiancée. they should be back soon," Anna took a sip of her tea.

"Ha, hopefully she's not like our wives, right Yoh?"

"Yup."

Slap!

Pull!

"S-Sorry…" they muttered.

"Hey, Daddy?" Tamiko looked up at her father who was rubbing his now red ear.

"Yeah Tami?"

"Why does Hana-Nii-Tan have to be older then me and Men-Kun?" she asked.

"Because me and your mother aren't as fond as Anna and Yoh about becoming teenage parents," HoroHoro explained.

"Really? Because ny father says it's because you weren't mature enough and still isn't," Men smirked.

"WHAT!"

Ren smirked and shrugged. "I only told her the truth Ice Bunny,"

"REN!"

"Man, why is everyone yelling?" Hana walked in, his clothes ripped, dirt covering every inch of him. Right behind him was Anna-Chan, who, besides the random dirt speck here and there, was unscathed.

"So you finally beat her Hana?" Lyserg asked.

"Yeah, of course I did."

"Go change, I don't want dirt in my house Hana," Anna said without looking at him. Rolling his eyes Hana left.

"Do you want any help Hana-Chan?" his Fiancée called after him. Face red he shouted a loud, "NO!" she laughed.

"Hey, Anna-Chan," She looked over to see HoroHoro beckoning her to come over.

"Yes?" she asked.

"How did Hana beat you?" he really needed to know.

"Oh, I took pity on him and let him win last minute." she said. "Besides I was getting hungry, what's to eat?"

'I don't whether to say she's exactly like Anna or not' HoroHoro thought.

"Anna-Chan," He blinked when his daughter and Men walk up to her. "Is it true that your going to be Hana-Nii-Tan's wife?" Tamiko asked the young Itako.

She smiled and winked. "Yup,"

"Does that mean I can be Men-Kun's wife too?" She asked, making the silver haired boy go red.

"Yup," Anna's Chan said happily.

"Yup," HoroHoro agreed. Then he realised what was said. "What? NO! YOU CAN NOT MARRY THAT TAO SHRIMP!"

"That's my son your insulting Ice Brain." Ren said.

"I AM NOT LETTING MY DAUGHTER MARRY INTO YOUR CRAZY FAMILY!"

"WHAT DID YOU SAY!"

"Guys…" Lyserg sweat dropped.

Yoh laughed as he watched his friends argue just like old times. He went to look at his wife but noticed that she wasn't there. Standing, he went to look for her.

She was outside, looking up at the sky.

"Nothing's changed, has it." She said.

"Nope," Yoh took her hand and looked up at the stars with her. "Too bad Chocolove couldn't make it though."

"Please, I already have a headache. I don't need a bigger one with his bad jokes."

Yoh chuckled.

After a few minutes he asked, "So, how did you decide on her being Hana's Fiancée?"

"Actually it was your brother who did." Yoh blinked, shocked she would do something that Hao suggested. "She's strong and I think she'll be good for him. Don't worry I still hate that spoiled brat," Anna continued making Yoh chuckle again.

"I know." Yoh grinned. He leaned down and kissed her softly when HoroHoro yelled, "YOH! MANTA'S HERE AND HE BROUGHT PRESENTS! HURRY UP!"

They broke apart, both blushing a little.

"Let's go." he said. Taking her hand and leading the woman he loved back into the Inn.

"Ok. And if it's food your not eating it because I know that you haven't been doing any training since I've been gone." Anna smirked, walking ahead of him.

"What? Come on Anna reconsider…" he begged.

"Nope."

And yes, she loved him too. Even if she showed it in a different way.

Done. That's it, it's over. Thanks to everyone who stuck with me through out this story and was patient with my spelling and grammar errors and I hope you liked it even if it sucked sometimes. Stay tuned for more of my stories.
