Let's Make This Last - Chapter 7

Title: Let’s Make This Last ~MNH

Disclaimer: Standard Disclaimer!

Summary: Shaman fight finally ended and the gang decided to celebrate the victory of Yoh Asakura as the new Shaman king. However, there is another fight that should be won: LOVE.

Will Yoh and Anna try to make it last or will they just let it end and let it pass…?

Recap:

Chapter 6:

"Ooohh, I see you have a love letter from your fiancé..." Anna hastily folded the letter.

"What are you doing here?" don't the people here know the word privacy at all, or maybe they just do not know what the word knock means.

"Nothing, I just want to have some quality time with my dear sister." Anna couldn't help but snort at what she heard from her so called "dear sister." Dear sister my foot.

"Now come on, Anna-chan. don't give me that look. I know you don't trust me and all-"

Yeah. right. I would be a total idiot if I would trust you.

"-but you have to at least give me a chance." when Anna did not answer, she continued. "You are so unfair. You give Jinko a chance but not me."

Okay fine. Give her a chance but do not trust her fully. "Then give me reason to trust you…"

"I will."

Author's Note:

BAH! Finally. I feel so guilty not writing an update for my stories at fanfiction dot net so here... :)) I will still have to add and change something. But for now. Here it is.

Let's Make This Last
Chapter 7: Meeting Anna's Sister

Anna spent all day inside her room. She's trying her best to write a letter to Yoh. She's not a woman of many words but since they have been apart for more or less two weeks now (She could not remember anymore how long...) so hopefully she'd have lots of things to tell him.

Unlike the asakura, Anna is, as always, composed while writing the letter. Her younger brother sitting quietly beside her. He was holding a small notebook and doodling something.

"Onee-chan, what is your fiance like?" he suddenly asked his elder sister.

"Yoh?" she mumbled, still engrossed with writing. "Well, you'll meet him someday."

"Is he nice?"

"Why are you so curious anyway?"

"Hmmm Just wonedrin'. You know. He's going to be your husband, right? I have to know him."

Anna hid a small smile. "Yes, maybe if we could convince okaa-san and otou-san to let Yoh visit us, you could meet him."

"I will! I will convince them!" the little boy enthusiastically said while jumping around the room, waving the little notebook in the air.

"Well, I think you'll get along quite well. He's pretty childish for his age." she stopped writing and looked out of the window. The sky is somewhat gloomy but it does not matter.

She still feels so happy for receiving Yoh's letter. Then the smiling face of yoh invaded her mind and she just could not help but add, "He is stupid."

"Eh? how could you say that?"

"Because he is."

"Are you done with the letter? I have been waiting here outside your room for eternity already." Kazuko knocked and opened teh door.

"Hmm nice to see that you finally found your manners, onee-chan." She put the letter inside the envelop and sealed it carefully. "Don't try to even read it. If you would, expect something to happen to you."

"Are you threatening me? I am already volunteering to be your messenger and you are still saying things like that?"

"No, I am just telling you. You might not want something awful to happen, you know. Just in case."

"What, are you going to summon your demons?"

That silenced Anna. What does she mean by that? How did she know about it? "What demons, onee?" asked jinko who's standing behind Anna.

Kazuko realized what she had said. "Oh, it's nothing jinko. I am just kidding. Now let me have that letter and I'll go ahead."

Anna gave the letter still puzzled with the statement from her sister. "Kazu-,"

"It's nothing Anna. I am just trying to humor you. Don't tell me you actually thought that I mean it? Surely, you can't summon demons, right?"

Then she turned around and walked out of the room.

Does she know something? I thought my siblings are oblivious to my abilty?

******************

It was a pretty fine day and so Yoh and his friends decided to go out and wander around the city. Yoh had been really cheerful since the other day.

Whenever someone would knock on the door he would quickly stop whatever he is doing and run towards the door to receive teh person. A smile ready on his face but when he finds out that it's not the postman or anyone who brings a missive from his Anna, the smile was instantly replaced with a sad look. He would go out early in the morning to ask his Grandmother if a letter had already arrive but goes back to his room disappointed.

But today was different since Anna's afther called his grandmother and told her that the letter is already on it's way.

When his friends asked him to join them, he refused afraid that he would miss the arrival of the letter but his mother told him that she would wait for the letter and give it to him right after he arrives home.

So they went from shop to shop, looking for some items to buy. He saw one cute little keychain which reminded him of Anna.

"She'd love this!", he thought.

They had lunch out too!

"I heard that they would eventually allow you to visit her?" Faust asked while giving everyone the menu for them to choose their orders.

"Yes, but right now, we can only exchange letters."

"You know her parents are so paranoid. They can just ask anna to not go with you yet. She has word of honor so if she promised she'd definitely do it." Manta offered his opinion.

"That is quite true but they do not know Anna that well yet. So I am kind of okay with it."

"Then if they'd allow you to visit him, would you let us join you too?" Pirika asked. And and teh girls had been pretty close lately. So she really wanted to see her friend and make sure she's being treated well enough.

"Pirika, you should let oh visit Anna alone first! He missed her so much."

"Haha. Yes, of course. but it's okay guys. Don't worry about it. Anna wouldsurely be glad to see you all as wel."

"How would you know? She's always glaring and killing us with her stares," Horo interrupted, speaking with his mouth full.

"No, she surely misses you all." Yoh insisted. "I am sur of that. But enough of this! I am so hungry I could eat you all!"

**************

Bam!

"Ouch!" the girl slumped down on the street clutching her head.

"I am sorry." Yoh helped the girl up. "I didn't see you-"

"It's okay. I am fine." the girl said but she clearly did not look okay.

"Are you sure? I have a friend here who's a doctor."

"No. I am fine." she smiled shyly at him.

"Yoh! Hurry up! We have to go back to the Inn!"

"Gomen but I have to go now…" he waved at the girl while running towards his friends. "I'll make it up to you when I see you again!"

The girl smirked once the boy and his friends turned left, out of her vision. "I'll take your word then Yoh Asakura… I hope you are a man of your word."

*****************

Yoh arrived back home pretty late and he's already regerting that he had been persuaded to go out. his mind always flies back to the In wondering if Anna's letter had already arrive but since he did not want to upset his friends by leaving early, he stayed. His body with them, his mind left at the Inn.

He ran inside, and stopped short a few steps away from the kitchen. He can hear two women's voices. One belongs to her mother and another belong to another girl, he recognized the voice but he could not remember where he heard her.

He stopped at the doorway and peered inside the kithen just to see the said two women eating leisurely, chatting like they have been really good friends for a very long time already. His mother and the girl, maybe a few years older than him, both looked at him as he made his entry.

"Oh, Yoh. You're here! Come on, sit with us here." She ushered Yoh to a seat next to where she was sitting a few moments ago and  sat beside him.

When he was finally settled, he looked aup and gave the girl another glance only to realize who she is. "You!!"

The girl giggled and said, "Yes, ME.."

Yoh scratched his head and grinned his goofy smile. "Well, I  really am sorry awhile ago.  I did not mean to bump on you."

"It's okay."

"Oh, so you two had already met each other?" Keiko asked with an amused expression on her face.

"Yes, we already did, Miss. But I  did not knwo you are Yoh Asakura. Well, nice to meet you then... I am kazuko..." she exended her hand to shake yoh's. "Anna's sister."

Like magic, hearing the magical name, his face instantly lit up and brightened. "You are Anna's Onee-chan?"

"Un. That's me. indeed."

"Then I can call you onee chan too right. I am Yoh. Yoh Asakura. Your little sister's husband."

"Husband?!"

"Hehe. Anna is really fond callime either that or her fiance. So I got so used to it that it is how I introduced myself to others as well. haha. Weird right. But rest assured we are not married. YET."

"Ah.. it's okay then. You have to make sure you'll make her happy. She's aprecious one. you know."

"I agree. Well, yhm... do you have something for me?" he said, shyly.

"Ah. yeah. well. Wait a second." she rummaged through her purse and got a snmall envelope out of it. "Here. It's the reason why I am here. I volunteered as your messenger. SO you'd probably see me often here. hehe."

"Oh. I welcome anyone who would bring anything form Anna. Right Okaa-san?"

Keiko smiled sweetly at the both of them.

"But may I excuse myself. i really wanted to read this now. Sorry I have to go to my room." It was as if he was carried by the wind or maybe he apparated somewhere else.

"Ha. Look at that young man. So excited to read his love letter."

*******

Okay. That's pretty dull. :(( ???
