Suppose

{Over Part III}

Hao's POV

I feel so restless tonight. Maybe, it is because of the fact that I am going to marry the girl of my dreams tomorrow. I've waited so long. I've done all I can do to have her, and I suppose this is all I can do.

It's raining right now and I felt lonelier. It's cold. It's eating me inside. Finally, the time has come to join my life to her. I am so happy that I could've burst to tears. I wish that it's the same thing with the bride.

I know that I am being selfish but what can I do? I can't bear to see her with someone else. Least of all my brother. Don't get me wrong. I love my brother but I believe that he already has everything. Our family adores his easy going and good nature character. He's loved by the people surrounding him. He excels in everything that he does and he had so many friends.

But me? What do I have? Our family despises me. They hate me for being an ungrateful child. Whenever I am in that house they call home, I feel like a stranger. No one bothered to talk to me, or to ask for my well being. No one tried to approach me. Except her.

Yes. Only her. She's both our friends but she had never shown favoritism between us. She gives us equal attention as a friend and as time and years pass by, I am afraid that I have fallen deeply in love with her.

I am already happy being her friend although I love her not as one. I am contented, but…

~o~

"Is something wrong Anna?"

She shook her head and remained silent as we walk by the river. The moonlight casts a light over us, lighting our path and guiding us. The sound of the river felt so cold yet relaxing to the ears. I lifted up my gaze a little to look at her. She has this wistful expression on her face. "Are you sure?"

She stopped on her tracks and looked down. "Hao…"

I waited. When she didn't continue, I asked again, "what is it?"

"How would you know if you have fallen in love with a person?"

I thought for a moment. Is she in love? The guy is so lucky. "Well, you can't stop thinking about him. You would always want to see him, to see him happy and well. You have this urge to make him smile and laugh. You're heart breaks whenever you see him sad and crying. You don't want to see him with someone else. Yet, you would always find yourself accepting it once you see him happy.

Well, that is only based on what other people say they feel when they are in love."

"Haven't you experience falling in love Hao?" she asked, innocently.

I didn't know how to answer her question. Should I tell her? Should I confess my love to her? Should I—

"I think I am in love with Yoh."

I felt my world came crashing. My hair created a curtain, covering my eyes. "Why?" I asked.

"Because I think-,"

"Why him, Anna? Why of all people… why does it have to be my brother?"

"Hao…"

~o~

I felt so betrayed. I love her yet, like the others, she fell in love with my brother's charm. Why does it always have to be him? I know I said that I feel contended being just a friend yet I couldn't quite accept the fact that the only person who treated me equally with my brother now feel more of my brother than me.

I took my phone from the bedside table and looked at the pictures. Our pictures. The three of us. Sometimes just Yoh and me, and sometimes a picture with Anna. They were the memories I treasured the most. Back when we were all still little and happy.

There was a picture where Yoh and I were laughing out loud at Anna's shocked expression when we threw her playfully at the river near the house in Aomori.

So many memories. Yes, memories. And I am afraid so much had change already to even try to have those kinds of memories again.

I made up my mind, I will call her.

~o~

Suppose that I missed you

Suppose that I cared.

And suppose that I've spent

All my nights running scared

And suppose that I was never there.

~o~

I was listening to her ringback tune for a few rings only before she picked up the phone.

"Yoh!" I heard her excited and happy voice. Even in the night before our wedding, you are still thinking of him… "Hello?"

"Why are you still awake?" I asked, trying to sound gentle and caring.

"Hao." She replied. "Uhm, I couldn't sleep."

"Are you nervous?" I can feel the tension hanging around us even if we are not together. So I lightened up the mood. "Well, you have to sleep now, it's our wedding tomorrow. You need your beauty rest, right?"

"Okay. I am going to sleep now. Thank you, Hao."

"Sure thing, sweetie. Good night." I pressed the red button to end the call. Am I doing the right thing?

I stayed up late at night. Rethinking of what I am doing and what I am about to do tomorrow. Figuring out if this is for the best. Asking myself if I really believe she would fall me someday.

My mind insisted, she can just pretend that you are Yoh. You are twins so it is not that difficult.

But I don't want her to think that way. I want her to love me as me not as a clone of my brother. I wanted to go where she is right now and assure myself that everything is turning out fine. I wanted to see her to have her right beside me.

~o~

And my eyes are screaming

for the sight of you

~o~

FLASHBACK

I am talking with her animatedly, trying to catch her attention yet I can see that I am failing. I feel so angry that she already agreed to be with me yet her mind is still somewhere else. I am quite sure that it is drifting off to a certain young man who looked just like me but with a carefree aura around him, short hair and goofy grin.

He had always occupied her mind whenever we're together so I really find it hard not to get riled up.

I stopped talking and caught her chin, which surprised her. I leaned closer but she pushed me away and walked away from me. I don't take rejections, lady. My mind screamed. So I caught her elbow and whirled her around, pushing her back against the wall. Her eyes showed frustration and horror as I decided to continue to lean down to capture her lips.

"Hao," she whispered in protest, my face still leaning closer and closer. "Hao please…"

In my anger I glared at her and shouted words I regretted after. "Fine. Well, if that's how you want it to be. Maybe, I'll just look for another woman who'll be able to satisfy me." She's crying. Helpless and broken. I was about to reach out, wipe away the tears and ask for forgiveness when someone stopped short on the doorway.

It was Yoh.

"Uhm. Sorry, I didn't know you're here." He said looking at Anna and then to me and then back at Anna. His eyes showing concern when he saw her crying. He would have gone to her, I know he would, but I glared at him, telling him with my eyes to back off. "I'll go ahead." He finally said.

Anna continued to stare at his retreating form, still crying. The sight angered me more and I just can't stop myself from spitting out venom to spite her. "Don't waste your time on my brother. He will never love you. He knows you're mine. And aside from that, you know that he only see you as a sister."

She ran out of the kitchen and calling out Yoh's name, leaving me alone and broken.

~o~

And tonight I'm dreaming

of all the things that

we've been through

And I can't hold on to you.

So I guess I feel lonely, too.

~o~

I saw them went out of the house and ran towards the forest. Should I follow? Or Should I just let them on their own. But since I can't stop thinking of what they must be doing or that Yoh will have the only person I have, I went to find them.

"Yoh?" Yoh looked at Anna with a surprised look. "Is something wrong? You're so quiet."

He scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. "Sorry, I was thinking …"

I know what he's going to say, and I don't want to hear it. I don't want him to snatch Anna away from me. So I did what I thought was the best thing to do.

"Hey guys!" I interrupted his speech and stepped out from where I was hiding. "You did not even ask me to join you. I'm hurt!"

"Ah… Hao, sorry. We thought you're already asleep."

"Heh. It's okay. It's beautiful. ne? Anna? We used to go here when we were young. Yoh, would always be here when he's feeling down."

"Uhm… I do not know that there's something that would make Yoh feel down." Anna teased him.

"Ha. Yeah. I thought so too. Well, anyway, Anna, you wanna go watch…"

END OF FLASHBACK

"Hao!" I saw Ren and the other friends of Yoh walking towards me. "Congratulations, man." Ren said.

"Thank you. Have you seen Yoh?"

"Oh, your grandpa called him before we get here and asked him to go in their place for a second."

"But he's going to play Anna's wedding march. He promised." I persuaded him to play the piano for our wedding today. I wanted to shove it to his face that the only person he wanted is never going to be his. I wanted to make sure he accepts the fact that Anna's mine so I asked him to play for her wedding.

"No worries. He'll be back on time. Where's Anna?" he asked.

"With her friends at the room next to the entrance. They are going to wait there," but seeing her bride outside, he added, "I guess she's impatient." Earning a round of chuckles to Yoh's friends.

"Oh, he's here already." Ren said pointing his finger to Yoh who was now approaching the piano stool." I tried to be blind to Anna's feelings towards my brother but seeing her sad eyes as she looked at my brother's figure walking towards the piano broke my heart. Is this really what I want?

Yoh started playing her favorite piece. The flower girls and the other people on the procession started walking. I looked at my brother and his head was bent down, biting his lips. Turning away from him, I saw my bride. She's so beautiful, yet I can see and feel her sadness. I continued to stare at her, people patting my back as a gesture to congratulate me. She's crying. And I know, I am absolutely sure she's crying not because she's happy but she's losing all hope of experiencing happiness.

Half way to the altar I excused myself and walked towards the priest. The people didn't notice for all their eyes were on the stunningly beautiful bride walking slowly down the aisle. Her eyes swimming with tears, looking helplessly at my brother's way, whose head was still bent down. I went back to my place after a moment of talking to the priest and held her hand. Gently guiding her to stand in front of the priest.

~o~

Suppose we were happy,

Suppose it was true.

And suppose there were cold nights,

But we somehow made it through

And suppose

that I'm nothing without you.

~o~

FLASHBACK

I turned to my left just in time to see my brother and Anna escaping the party. I followed them and caught up with them too. They stopped at remote part of the place.

"Anna, I've been meaning to tell you this. I only have the courage now so I came here to a—"

He's proposing! My mind yelled. So again, just like what I always do, I stopped him from confessing and proposing to Anna.

"Hi, Yoh! Did you see Anna? I need to tell her something" Yoh moved his gaze towards where I am.

"She's…" he started.

"There you are!" I said enthusiastically. "I've been looking for you from the moment I arrived." I turned to face Anna and knelt down. "I've been in love with you for so long and I want you to finally know my feelings for you. I love you, Anna. Will you marry me?"

END OF FLASHBACK

"Today, Anna Kyouyama, join my life to yours, not merely as your husband, but as your friend, your lover, and your confidant. Let me be the shoulder you lean on, the rock on which you rest, the companion of your life. With you I will walk my path from this day forward." I slid the ring on her finger. I met her eyes after and kissed her hand. I saw how her face gentled and show real happiness. But then, I felt so guilty for putting her through all of this. I heard her say her vows.

"Where there has been cold, you have brought warmth; where my life was dark, you have brought light. Hao Asakura, I pledge before this assembled company to be your wife from this day forward. Let us make of our two lives, one life, and let us always honor and respect each other."

~o~

Slow way down,

This break down's eating me alive.

And I'm tired,

this fight is fighting to survive.

~o~

She looked out of the window of our bridal car, waving happily at our guests. Tears still flowing down her cheeks. I saw how her eyes lingered for a moment to my best man, wearing his immaculate white tuxedo, as I heard her faint whisper, "I love you…"

She rolled the window up and looked at me. "Hao." She whispered.

"Yes?"

"Let's try to make this marriage work, okay?" she said, smiling at me. And again I felt like I did the most unforgivable thing in the world. They both love each other. But I fed her thoughts with lies, telling her that my brother likes Tamao and that she's only a childhood friend and a sister to him.

Guilt gnawed at my insides and I couldn't stop myself anymore. "I am sorry, Anna."

"Huh?" not quite getting why I am asking for forgiveness.

"I am sorry. You don't deserve this."

"What do you mean?"

"I lied. I wanted you to be with me, to try to love me. I tried to convince myself that you will eventually fall in love with me. But I know better now. It would never happen. You love him too much."

"Hao… I will try. I promised. I will try to learn how to love you. Aside from that, you and I both know that he will never see me the way I want him to…"

"I lied. He loves you. He loves you the way you love him. Or may be more."

~o~

Tell me a secret, (I want it)

Tell me a story, (I need it)

I'll listen attentively,

I'll stay awake all night.

Allow me to whisper (so softly)

There's nothing I did mean (please help me)

But it's in my body

It's strong enough to fight

(Let's make this right)

Please help me make this right.

~o~

I waited for her reaction but her face was blank. I was hoping that she would say that it's alright. That it does not matter anymore. That she would still try to love me. That we would try to make this right.

But she spoke with a cold voice. "Stop the car."

"Anna… please…" I pleaded.

"I said stop the car." The chauffer do as what his lady ordered her to do. She was about to step out of the vehicle but I held her hand. She didn't even look at me. "Let go." She said.

"Anna,"

"You fooled me!" she yelled at me, eyes streaming with tears. "I believed you! I believed everything you said! I trusted you! I- I-" she cried in between sobs. When she finally regained her composure, she whispered, "Let go of me."

"Anna, I beg you please…"

"I hate you!" I slowly loosened my grip on her and with that she stepped out of the car and walked away from me, leaving me feeling forlorn.

"Anna…"

~o~

Suppose that I was wrong,

Suppose you were here.

And suppose that I reached out

and caught your tears

And suppose this fight just disappeared.

~o~

"Give this to Anna and this to the priest," I told the chauffer." I told the driver. "Go."

"But sir…"

"I would drive myself home." I said with finality.

"Yes, sir." He said as he do what I said. I gave him money for him to find Anna and to send her safely back home.

I drove off, feeling empty. That is what you get! You're so selfish. You don't know the meaning of selfless love. You really don't know what true love means! My mind shouted at me.

My eyes started to water, feeling the pain. I couldn't see the road anymore. Tears blurred my vision. And as if the heavens are mocking me, it started to rain, making it much harder to see the road ahead.

The last thing I saw was the bright lights blinding my eyes. I tried to move the gear and shift the direction of the car but to avail. It was too late.

I Love you Anna…

~o~

My eyes are screaming

for the sight of you

And tonight I'm dreaming

of all the things that

we've been through

And I can't hold on to you.

So I guess I feel lonely, too

But I'd rather be here with you.

~o~

A/N: Whew! I finished the chapter earlier than I expected. Maybe it's because of the gloom and glum I am feeling these days.

I hope that you see each of the characters pain in this story "Over". I feel hyped up writing this story. It started with the Wedding Dress song by Taeyang and I just couldn't get over it. So I ended up writing an SK fanfiction based on the story the song tells.

After reading what I wrote I know I couldn't just stop there. I wanted to know what Anna thinks about this too. Feeling more like the reader than the writer of the story. And so 'Tears' was born. (And special thanks to majrocks again! Yeah!)

And as you know I am a very fickle-minded person. So while I was writing down Anna's POV, at the first part where Hao called her, I was so perked up, and my curiosity wouldn't let me rest. I wanted to find out what Hao's thoughts would be. And so there was 'Suppose'.

Ther is still an Epilogue, for it is an open ended story. I would post the epilogue once I hear your thought about what could've happened to our characters after the wedding and after the fight between Hao and Anna.

What happened to Yoh? What did he do after the wedding?

What did Hao say to the priest?

What was Anna's thoughts after the predicament with Hao in the car?

What did hao give the chauffer? Did he find Anna?

Where did Anna go?

What happened to Hao? Was he dead?

Do you want me to add another chapter up? (Because seriously. While typing the questions, I can see that if I will just write the epilogue, it would be VERY VERY long, but if you don't mind, I won't mind, too. So tell me)

Or is it OVER?

I SUPPOSE I just have to wait for your reviews, comments and suggestions. Don't make me wait too long, or I will cry rivers of TEARS!

Click that review button and voice out your thoughts! Thank you so much for reading!

Your reviews keep me going!

Keep YohxAnna love burning! Ja!

Tears


{Over Part II}

~o~

The white starlight, the black darkness
is pushing me away from far

~o~

Anna's POV

It's raining quite heavily tonight. I don't know if the heavens are shedding tears for me, for my dilemma. I am about to be married to him. I should be happy, right? But what I feel right now is far from that. I feel empty, void. I stared at the mobile phone on my bed, as if staring at it would nudge that person to call me. But that would be impossible. He's probably with her. He said that he'll stay there tonight, saying that his grandfather told him to stay for the night. I snorted at that thought. Who is he kidding? For sure it's Tamao. It has always been her. His "best friend".

FLASHBACK

"Moshi moshi."

"Yoh! Where are you?" I asked him, feeling restless and excited.

"Uh, Anna, hi. Why?" His voice sounded hesitant.

"Oh, just wanted to ask." I said. I was pretty curious what he had been doing these past few days. He always gives excuses whenever I ask him to accompany me. Is he avoiding me? That horrifying thought entered my mind. I just needed to be sure.

"Well, I am here at grandpa's. He is asking me a favor so I won't be able to come over tonight." He paused for a second and continued "Maybe you can ask onii-chan to go there. He'd be willing."

His pushing me away again. I know that he does not want me the way I want him but can't we even just continue being friends? I heard someone talking at the background.

Yoh, dinners read! The voice said. "Oh just a moment, Anna." He called out to the girl and told her that he'll come. "Anna, I need to go."

"But Yoh…" he chuckled.

"Don't worry. I'll be there tomorrow at your wedding I promise I'll play. Okay? I have to go now. Grandpa said dinner's ready. I'll call you back later, kay? Ja!" the line went dead.

END OF FLASHBACK

Maybe grandfather is not really there. Maybe, it's just Tamao and him. He could just say he wanted to stay there because of her. Why use his grandpa as an excuse. And he even said he will call me back but it's almost past midnight but he had not called yet.

The phone's backlight started to blink. Someone's calling. My heart beat fast. I grabbed the phone and answered cheerfully. "Yoh!" There was no answer. "Hello?"

"Why are you still awake?" Oh, it's not Yoh. I felt my heart sank with the hope of hearing his voice.

"Hao." I replied. "Uhm, I couldn't sleep."

"Are you nervous?" I stayed quiet. "Well, you have to sleep now, it's our wedding tomorrow. You need your beauty rest, right?"

"Okay. I am going to sleep now. Thank you, Hao."

"Sure thing, sweetie. Good night." And the line went dead.

Instead of going to sleep, I still lay awake on my bed, thinking if I made the right decision. Is it really okay to marry Hao? Will I eventually learn to love him? I know I should not ponder anymore since all is set now. There's no turning back anymore…

AaAaA

"Anna!" the young lady wearing a wedding dress looked up and stared at the mirror. She saw her blue haired friend enter the room on the reflection. "Gosh, you're so beautiful today!" Pilika exclaimed as she stared at the beautiful bride in front of her. Tamao followed inside the room.

"Best wishes Miss Anna," she said. "You really looked great today." I can hear the voice inside my head telling me that she really is happy to see that I am going to marry someone else and not her beloved Yoh.

"She should be; it's her wedding day." A green haired girl suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

I felt happy seeing the girls, right now. Although not that happy knowing that Tamao wanted this so much. "Thanks, girls, I really am nervous. I can't believe I am getting married today." I really am nervous and groping in the dark. I still am contemplating if I really have to do this. I know Hao told me that everything will be fine.

"Ha. Don't be. You look like a princess; every guy must be envious of your groom." Pilika tried to soothe my nerves. She sat beside me while the stylist worked on her hair.

"I just wish Yoh's already here," I mumbled incoherently, glancing out the window. "At least if he's here I won't get nervous this much."

"Yeah, he's always been the life of the gang. Yoh and Horo." Tamao said blushing. All of their friends know that she harbors some feelings for the young Asakura except the guy himself. Well, maybe he also knows it but is not saying anything. Or maybe, they are already together, in secret.

"Speaking of Yoh, He's your best friend too right?" Jun asked, walking towards the window. She opened it and let some air in. "Ugh, so hot."

Yeah that's right. He only sees me as his best friend and nothing else. "We've been best friends since forever. He's a childhood friend."

"Yeah. I remember when we were younger, your parents were always on a business trip so they usually leave you at the Asakuras."

"Well, then, you have to say thank you to your parents. If they did not leave you to the Asakuras, you won't be with your groom today."

Maybe, they should've asked me to come with them instead. In that case, there would be a chance that I won't be hurting this much.

"Yeah, Pilika's right. Haha." Jun agreed cheerfully at their blue headed friend.

"Oh, do shut up please." I groaned, but all of a sudden, the door opened, revealing a spiky brown-haired guy. He's wearing a white tuxedo. My heart skipped a beat, seeing his goofy smile.

"Hi ladies," he said. He offered the flowers to me and smiled. "For you."

~o~

When I look at you with my smile
I always become farther apart

~o~

I blushed and took the flowers from him. I can't stop myself from smelling the glorious flowers and smile. After a moment, "Arigato, Yoh. I have been waiting here for you. I thought you'll sleep here?"

"Uhm, well, I had an important meeting to attend to yesterday. I went home almost past midnight so I did not have the time to go here and ruin your beauty sleep." He smiled his goofy grin at me; I just can't help but smile in return although all I wanted to do is all but that. I am hurting. I want to hug him and ask him to take me away. But I don't know something is telling me that probably he would refuse. He has Tamao, anyways.

~o~

When I call you, when I look for you
Come to me as the wind
Hug me in secret
So I can feel you
You are always next to me

~o~

"Huh, I did not get to sleep anyway. I am so nervous. It's lucky that Aime here has lots of Concealer to spare or I would look like a sleepless bride today."

He laughed at my joke; it's wonderful to hear his laugh. "Well, even if you have black bags under your eyes, you are still beautiful, you know." He said not tearing his gaze from me.

It's like all the people in the world didn't matter anymore. It certainly felt that the only people in the room are just the two of us. The unspoken words inside me threatening to spill out. We didn't realize that we still have company until Jun said that they are going to get some drinks. I told her to get Yoh a drink, too, breaking the eye contact between him and me.

The three girls went out of the room while the two of us sat in silence. I try to put all my attention to the stylist asking her questions about her life. I can feel his eyes boring on me, and I feel like I am going to melt by the time I set my gaze on him.

I stole a glance at him but he seems to be thinking of something else while staring at me. He has this serious and thoughtful expression on his face. What are you thinking about, Yoh? Is your mind somewhere a certain pink haired girl is right now? Why are you still here? But then it doesn't matter anymore. All I know is that whenever you're around me, I feel so happy that I don't feel the pain I am suffering right now. Very Ironic, right? You are the reason why I feel this way yet, just your mere presence puts all those pain away.

FLASHBACK

"Hao," I whispered in protest, his face leaning closer and closer. "Hao please."

Hao stopped and glared at her. "Fine. Well, if that's how you want it to be. Maybe, I'll just look for another woman who'll be able to satisfy me."

Tears ran down my cheeks. I don't even want to be his fiancé, yet, seeing Yoh with her really wounded my ego. We are still in that very awkward position when someone stopped short on the doorway.

It was Yoh.

"Uhm. Sorry, I didn't know you're here." He said looking at me and then to Hao and then back at me. His eyes showing concern when he saw me crying. He would have gone to me, I know he would, but Hao also glared at him, telling him with his eyes to back off. "I'll go ahead."

I stared at his retreating form, still crying. "Don't waste your time on my brother. He will never love you. He knows you're mine. And aside from that, you know that he only see you as a sister."

I don't know what has gotten into me but after hearing those haughty words from Hao, I suddenly felt the urge to prove him wrong.

I decided to tell Yoh what I feel for him. I wanted him to know that's it's him whom I love so I looked for him, running up and about the house, leaving Hao behind.

It felt like someone poured a bucket full of iced water on me as I saw him outside. Tamao caught in a dead end on a tree, Yoh's arms outstretched at the either side of her, fist balled into fists. I felt my heart shattered to pieces, crashed. I ran away, I didn't want to see what he'll do next. I don't even want to think of it. I found myself inside my sanctuary, crying my heart out.

~o~

The blue sky has dyed you.
Before you find out about my love
Don't feel bad for me, if you understand my tears
You will be able to laugh too

~o~

"Anna?" I heard a voice asked me, he silently tiptoed through the darkness of the room. "Why are you crying? He asked.

I shook my head gently, and said "It's nothing Yoh." I smiled, reassuring him that it really is nothing, and wiped the tears. "Something just got in my eyes. It hurts so much."

I am glad he didn't push anymore. Instead, he sat down beside me and looked at me, reaching out to touch my face. "Really? Hmmm. Let me see." He said.

"No, Yoh, It's fine now." I refused to let him see how vulnerable I am right now. I don't want him to see that I really am crying. But he insisted.

"Now, now. Let me see. I'll blow it out of your eyes. Come here." He motioned for me to come near him, which I obeyed. There's no point in arguing with this headstrong man. He did what he said he would do and after a short while, he grinned down at me and whispered, "All gone now, right?" I nodded, smiling at him. "Come, I'll show you something."

He led me out of the house and we both ran out into the forest when Hao and their family entered my mind. "Hey, it's already late. I think we should not go out anymore." I whispered.

"There is something I want you to see. It will only be there tonight."

"But the family and Hao and…"

"Just a few minutes okay?" he looked at me expectantly. I couldn't find the heart to say no.

"Okay."

~o~

When I call you, when I find you
Come to me as the wind
Hug me in secret
So I can feel you
You are always next to me

~o~

It was so beautiful. The scene was so captivating and breathtaking. I felt like staying here forever, away from all the things eating me alive. I wanted to run away from everything, with this man I am with. "It's beautiful." I murmured, words so soft like it's just for my ears alone.

But then I realized that Yoh had not uttered a word since we came here so I called out to him. "Yoh?" he looked at me with a surprised look. "Is something wrong? You're so quiet."

He scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. "Sorry, I was thinking …"

But I didn't hear the rest of his words for someone arrived and ruined our moment together.

"Hey guys!

~o~

Love~ Like my song is my wind forever

Do you hear it too?

You leave so many memories

I only think about you

~o~

"You did not even ask me to join you. I'm hurt!"

"Ah… Hao, sorry. We thought you're already asleep."

"He. It's okay. It's beautiful. ne? Anna? We used to go here when we were young. Yoh, would always be here when he's feeling down."

"Uhm… I do not know that there's something that would make Yoh feel down." I teased him.

"Ha. Yeah. I thought so too. Well, anyway, Anna, you wanna go watch…"

END OF FLASHBACK

"Anna," I was pulled out of my reverie when Jun called my name. "Come on gorgeous. We need to go now," she said, tugging me along. My eyes searched for Yoh but he is still on his la la land.

"Yoh! We'll wait for you at the church!" Jun shouted. "Oi! Horo. Go break your friend's daydreaming. He shouldn't be late, he's going to play for Anna's wedding."

"Yeah I will." He said, saluting his hands. "I'll go right away, ma'am."

"Good, we'll be waiting."

AaAaA

"Here he is," I exclaimed. "Why are you so late? Many people were asking for. They want to hear you play the piano."

"Gomen, ojii-san asked me to go to Izumo for a moment. I just got back from there. I drove really fast to just be here on time."

"Oh," was all I could muster to say. "Sorry. I did not know." He smiled at me, silently saying that all is well. If you were him, if only you were the one who proposed to me that night…

FLASHBACK

I don't know where he's leading me but I still followed, my heart hammering away inside me. I can't make it stop. We came to a remote part of the place and he let go of my hand.

He turned around with his eyes locked on mine. "Anna, I've been meaning to tell you this. I only have the courage now so I came here to a—"

"Hi, Yoh! Did you see Anna? I need to tell her something" He moved his gaze towards where the voice is coming.

"She's…" I know he's about to say something. I was suddenly afraid of what he will say. Will he ask my advice about Tamao? Will he tell me that he's planning to ask her out or maybe to marry her? Or maybe, he really just wanted me here for Hao.

"There you are!" Hao said enthusiastically. "I've been looking for you from the moment I arrived." He turned to face me and knelt down. "I've been in love with you for so long and I want you to finally know my feelings for you. I love you, Anna. Will, you marry me?"

END OF FLASHBACK

"Anna?"

"Nothing," I beamed at him, showing how happy I am that I am going to get married today. I can't show him how I truly feel. Being the good friend that he is, I know he'll d something to stop me from doing this. Maybe, even ask me o marry him if he knew that I am in love with him. He is such a kind hearted person, not wanting to see anyone hurting.

He nodded and walked forward towards the altar. I saw him sat down at the piano bench and started to play my favorite song. It took all my strength not to run to him and tell him not let me marry Hao. I feel hot tears falling down my cheeks. Maybe the people around me would see it as tears of joy for this happy day.

But it's not. I stopped at the end of the aisle.

~o~

When I call you, when I find you
Come back to me as the rain
Whisper to me under the umbrella.
I loved you more
So I am hurting more

~o~

"Today, Anna Kyouyama, join my life to yours, not merely as your husband, but as your friend, your lover, and your confidant. Let me be the shoulder you lean on, the rock on which you rest, the companion of your life. With you I will walk my path from this day forward." Hao slid the ring on my finger. He met my eyes after and kissed my hand.

I feel so happy, although it's not because I am being married to Hao but because I know that Yoh would eventually be happy with Tamao. And so I continued to say my vows. "Where there has been cold, you have brought warmth; where my life was dark, you have brought light. Hao Asakura, I pledge before this assembled company to be your wife from this day forward. Let us make of our two lives, one life, and let us always honor and respect each other."

I tried to think that it is Yoh I am marrying, proclaiming my undying love for him. But the question is still there…

~o~

How can I convey it to you
My heart that really loved you

~o~

I looked out of the window of the bridal car to have the last chance to see his smile. I waved to the people who witnessed "my wedding" but my eyes darted to the young man wearing the white Tuxedo. With one last glance at him, I whispered to the wind, "I love you…" hoping that it would reach his ears…

AaAaA

A/N: After such a long time, I finally had the time to write the second part of Over. I decided to take majrocks suggestion to use the song Tears. So thank you, thank you to majrocks. I hope you all enjoyed this story.

Oh, and well, try to check out my other stories I posted the fifth installment of my first ever story Let's Make This Last and completed my beloved Goodbye. Ha! I am so happy!

As you can see, I still have not changed the status of Over because, as you know I always change my mind when it comes to writing so I decided to also put Hao's POV, too. I already have a song that I'll use so I think if I feel hyped up to write a story today or the following days, I will be able to post it by Thursday.

I am not sure yet, for I have a very fickle mind. See yah! ^3^
