Pure Snow
Author's Note: I've always wanted to make a fic like this. My first [Yoh x Anna x Hao] fic. This is based off the Japanese song, Pure Snow, by Yuko Sasaki. Hopefully this will be one of those rare fics where I actually finish them...hehehe ;;;; anyway, enjoy!
Chapter 1:
The powdery snow comes swirling down upon this street;
"Well....thanks again for letting us stay Asakura." Ren said. He stood in the doorway of the huge gate, separating the outside human world from the safe, inside of a magical house filled with mystical people called shamans, a link from this world to the next.
"Yeah. Eliza and I are thankful" Faust said, his left arm around his beloved wife and the other in his pocket. He stood right beside Ren. They both wore their coats and scarves. "Where will you go?" Anna asked, standing by her fiancé, Yoh.
"Well....Eliza and I are going back to Germany. Maybe we both can start over." replied the necromancy. He held his dead wife tighter. The Chinese boy looked at the happy married couple and grinned. "And I'm going back home to visit Jun, mother, and grandfather."
"Well, best luck to you both." said the blonde itako. She adjusted her red hat and put her hands in her tan, jacket pockets. "Thanks. Well.....till we meet again."
"Yes, farewell." said Ren, putting his left hand by his face as if he was but to wave. The two of them and Eliza turned right and walked off. The shaman and the itako stood at the gateway and waved until they were out of sight.
"Hmmm....maybe Ren and his father will make-up and maybe Faust and Eliza will live happily ever after! Don't you think so Anna?" Yoh asked in his cheerful way. "Maybe..." she replied, turning back around going back towards the protected house. Yoh blinked and soon followed her.
When Anna walked back into the house she took off her long tan coat and hung it up on a coat rack, along with her wool red hat. Yoh walked in, but before he took off his green coat, Anna turned towards him, putting on her long blue beaded necklace. "Hey Yoh? Can you go out and get dinner?"
"Eh? Sure."
"Thanks...."
Yoh buttoned up his coat and grabbed his old leather wallet and left the premises. Anna made sure he was gone for sure and then ran upstairs. She slowed down as she approached his room and opened the door with caution. Putting her right, bare foot in his room and then her left as she closed the door behind her. She started searching through his stuff.
It's been six months.....
Since the fight against him.....
And ever since we got home, the oracle bell won't stop ringing.....
'By now, Yoh must've annihilated that thing by now.....' thought Anna. She yanked his drawers out and searched everywhere. "Dammit..." she cursed silently to herself. Finally, when she opened his closet and started to pull out clothes the bell tumbled out.
"Pi. Pi. Pi. Pi. Pi. Pi." the oracle bell range over and over. Anna covered her ears, now understanding why Yoh hid that thing so well. Trying to make that retched noise stop she doodled with the buttons, trying to figure out which button was the mute. The impatient blonde grunted. Continuously, pressing the buttons she hit one that made the noise stop. "Finally!" Anna was relieved. "Now....lets see why it was ringing." she pressed the same button that turned the sound off and a message appeared
"In a grove of blooming cherry blossoms,
And under the dark gray sky,
Where the pure white snow will fall....
And your loved one from the past appears....
Then truth will be revealed....."
Then the oracle bell turned off completely, liked a dead battery. Anna only had a very puzzled look on her face. "W-What? What kind of grove would have blooming cherry blossoms in the snow? And a previous lover? Pffft!" she sighed, knowing it was probably a hoax. Somewhat disappointed, Anna put the oracle bell where she found it.
A prophecy maybe?
......naaahhhh
The girl turned around and suddenly remembered the huge mess she made. "Oh boy..." she scratched the back of her head. "ANNA!!!! I'M BACK!!!" a male voice called from downstairs. Anna jumped in shock. She couldn't let Yoh know she was snooping around his room. She had to stall....only for enough time for her to clean up. Anna got a small idea and peaked her head out of her window. "Can you go get the mail?" she called out. "Sure" The brunette shaman replied and left the house again after putting the groceries in the kitchen.
"Phew....now...." Anna ran around her fiancés room cleaning everything up; hanging his clothes up back in the closet, stuffing socks and underwear back in his drawers and putting back in the dresser.
Yoh came back inside with the mail. Walking into the kitchen he examined what came. Bills, bills, bills, junk, junk—wait a minute. Yoh put the other envelopes containing the junk and bills on the kitchen table and was examining this one particular letter that was addressed to the "Asakuras" and had no return address. Well, it did but it was so smudged up, Yoh couldn't read it.
"Yoh?" Anna came downstairs and into the kitchen. "Ack!" he jumped from surprise and dropped the letter. Yoh made up excuses for not cooking but Anna didn't pay any attention. Her eyes were locked on that single envelope that floated softly down to the ground.
"A-Anna?" Yoh looked at her in concern. She shook herself out of it, "Oh....it's nothing. I'm ok. Did we get anything new?"
"Just bills and junk mail."
"Alright...." she approved by nodding and left the room. Yoh squatted down and picked up the envelope, tore it open carefully without Anna hearing and read it. He raised an eyebrow in confusing. "Huh?" he asked himself. "What does this mean?"
"Yoh!" Anna called. "C-Coming!!!" he ran out of the room, tossing the letter aside. It floated to the ground softly as it was left there for the night.
The next morning......
"Wake up Yoh! We're gonna be late!!!" Anna loud yell called from downstairs. She packed all of her belongings and made sure she was ready. Walking to a mirror to fix her red tie on her school uniform, straightened her black jacket, and fixed her black socks. "YOH!!!" she called louder. Hearing loud footsteps upstairs she had a sign that he was up. Remembering her beaded bracelet in the kitchen she walked over to get it. Spotting it on the kitchen table and picked it up and put it on. She also noticed a piece of paper on the ground by on of the legs on the table. Like Yoh, she squatted down and picked it up and read it aloud quietly.
"Hello, save a room for me I'm moving in?"
"What the hell?" She questioned. "Anna! You ready?" Yoh called, walking downstairs, fixing his tie. Anna stood up and placed the letter in her jacket packet. "Hai." she nodded. Yoh walked over and gathered his and her bag. "Here." he said handing it to her. The blonde itako nodded, "Thanks." she grabbed the handle and both of them walked out of the door.
Walking down the street a sudden chill went down Yoh's spine. "Buuurrr!!!" Anna sighed. The air from her mouth was visible. She watched it evaporate into the cloudy sky. "Hmmm.....it might just snow today." said Anna grinning at the clouds. Yoh smiled at her. He loved to see any kind of smile on her face. "Yeah..."
Anna came back down to earth and looked at Yoh. "We're gonna be late if we don't hurry...." Yoh agreed and the both power-walked the rest of the way to school.
At school.....
The two couple sat at their desks waiting for class to start. Anna went into her own little world again. 'Hmmmm.....that letter.....could it have anything to do with the message on the oracle bell? I wonder....'
"Ok class, settle down!" The teacher called as he entered the classroom. He cleared his throat. "Now, it seems that Manta Oyamada has left for the rest of the semester. Something about going on vacation. Anyway, we have a new student today. Please come in!" he turned towards the doorway as a male stepped in. Anna looked at the doorway wondering who the new student is. Yoh did the same. As he fully entered the classroom and turned towards his classmates Yoh and Anna gasped.
No.....not again.....
my sigh breaks apart as it rises towards the white sky.
