That's the first fanfic I ever wrote, so please don't be angry with me if it isn't that good. It's also the first english one I've written yet. So I'm sure there are much grammar mistakes in it, but I hope you understand what I wanted to say!!!

I love Shaman King, exspacialy the pairing AnnaxYoh. I've read every FF on with this pairing, so I wanted to write one by myself. Perhaps there is someone outside who also likes AnnaxYoh and has read every FF. So here is a new one. I hope you like it. Please review!!!!! Tell me if it was good, Okay or terrible and what I could change!!!

I'm sure this FF is OOC, because I've just read the mangas til Volume 7. In my country we've got neither the anime nor anything else. But I would be very happy if someone could tell me what happened after Yoh and Co. fight against Rens father!! Exspacialy everything with Yoh and Anna!!! Thanks a lot!!!!!!!!

Birthday with problems

Anna knew it would be raining today at the moment she looked out the window of the train she was sitting in. The whole sky was covered with dark, black clouds. And Yoh an her were on the way to Izumo, to visit Yohs grandparents. Tomorrow was Yohs birthday and they had invited them to come. Both didn't really want to, but who refuses if your grandparents want to see you? Espacially if they are your grandparents in law. So both took the first train on the next day and started their trip. But Anna had a strange feeling in her stomach that she won't enjoy the visit in Izumo. Or perhaps just a bit.

"Anna" Yoh interrupt Anna from her thoughts.

"Na...nani?" Anna answerded irritated.

"Everything OK? You look a bit... worried", Yoh said.

"Sure everything is OK." Anna looked at him with her usuall pokerface. "Why not?"

Yoh didn't replay, just smiled a bit. Her pokerface was intact again. "I just wanted to know.

--------------------

A few hours later (I'm sorry but I don't know how far Izumo is away from Tokyo.V Can anybody tell me???) Yoh and Anna were at Yohmeis an Kinos house and said hello to everyone. Tamao already made supper, so they sat down in the living room. There they ate the supper Tamao cooked and talked about everything that had happened in the past few month.

At about 9 o'clock Anna decided it'd be time to go to bed. Espacially Yoh, because he had to train tomorrow (even at his birthday !"p).

Anna went to her room, changed her clothes and lied down on her futon. But she couldn't sleep. After she counted the 5001 sheep she decided to go down and get some milk.

To get to the kittchen she had to pass the living room. But just as she wanted to go by, she heard two voices. Kino and Yohmei talked quietly inside. The blonde-haired girl wasn't interrested and just wanted to go to the kittchen, as she heard her name. Anna wondered who had said it, but then she realised it was Yohmei. They were talking about HER.

Anna didn't want to overhear their conversation, but she couldn't move and listened to what they said:

"It' really good that we met Anna, isn't it?", Kino started.

"Oh yes!", Yohmei added, "so she can train Yoh and we don't have to look after him. She has much controll about him."

"You are right! That's because she is so harsh. Even Yoh can't make her smile. And that means something." Anna was sure she heard a small laughter of Kino.

"And so", Yohmei said, "Yoh learns that his training isn't something to enjoy and isn't funny, but very serious. And as soon as she is Shaman King he can choose if he wants to mary her or not."

"I wonder", Kino said, still laughing, "if she even can smile"!!

After Kinos sentence both, Yohmei and Kino, started laughing. A few seconds later Yohs grandfather said something else, but Anna didn't want to listen any longer. She took a few steps back, with tears filling in her eyes. Then she ran back to her room- as quietly as she could.The Itako ran inside, closed the door and fell onto her futon. There she cried, not paying to the raindrops which dropped against her window more and more. She was right. With everything: The rain and the bad feeling in her stomach.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door which brought Annas attention back. She sat up ,the tears still in her now red eyes. Some rested onn her cheeck. Did she imagine the knock at the door or did anyone hear her?

No, she didn't imagine it. There it was again. But Anna won't let Kino or Yohmei see how hurt she was because of what they said.

"I just pretend to..."

"Anna...?" a voice asked.

Anna froze in her moove. Outside was neither Kino nor Yohmei. It was...

"....Are you Okay?"

...Yoh.

"Damn it. Why the hell is he up so late" Anna thought with a small feeling of panic. She could trick Kino, but she couldn't trick Yoh. So she decided to answer:

"Sure I'm OK. Why not?" She wanted to say anything else, but noticed that her voice was a lot higher than normal because she had cried. And Yoh noticed it too. So he opened the door and entered the room.

The pale moonlight shone into the room, so he could see Anna sitting on her futon. She shivered slightly and Yoh was sure it wasn't because it was cold.

"What are you doing here?" Anna looked angrily at Yoh. "I didn't told you that you are allow to come in. LEAVE!"

"No, not until you told me what happened." Yoh took a step towards Anna. Then another one. He wanted to know if he really had heard her cry or if he had imagined it. But Anna turned her face away before he could clearly see her eyes. Now he was sure something wasn't okay. He knelt down beside her.

"Yoh", she started again, "I don't know what are you doing here, but I want you to go- now! Or I..." she stoped as Yoh took her chin and started to pull her face in his direction. Anna didn't refuse. Now Yoh could see her red eyes and a single tear on her cheek. He smiled. She looked even cute when she was crying. But Anna misunderstood his smile:

"What? Are you happy now?! Yes, even I can cry. After you've found out can you go now?! NOW!!" Anna nearly screamed the last words. And now she even felt the tears again, forming I her eyes.

But Yoh didn't move. Anna tried to look away, but Yoh still held her chin with his hand.

Then he carefully brushed one of Annas tears away.

"I would never be happy when you are crying", he whispered. "And now tell me what's the matter." Anna let out a little snob, looked at Yoh and decided to tell him everything:

"I just overheard a conversation between your grandfather and grandmother. They said I'm just here to train you and that Yohmei has nothing to do. They... they also said I'm harsh and that nothing makes me smile. And they want to break our engagement right after you become the Shaman King."

Yoh looked puzzled at Anna. He believed what she had told him but was shocked what his granparents had said. He looked at Anna and saw she was crying again.

"Schhh..." Yoh said to calm her down. He couldn't stand seeing Anna crying. He put an arm around her and took her into a small embrance.

"It doesn't matter what they are thinking! You are the best 'trainer' I ever had. I don't want another one. And I know you can smile. I've seen you smile (has he???). They don't know anything about you. So they can't tell the truth. And even if they want to breake our engagement, the last decision weather we want to mary or not we have to make, haven't we?"

"Ye...yes"

"So, you don't have to worry. Everything will work out, and I'll ever be at your side. Promise".

"Yes" Anna brushed all her tears away. "You're right. But I thought you would be happpy if I'm not here anymore..."

"Happy? Without you? How could I??" Yoh smiled again. Even Anna smiled a bit.

"Yoh..." she started shyly, "would you mind to stay here this night? I just don't want to be alone and..."

"Sure" Yoh smiled at her.

"Really?" Anna was surprised, but then laid down again on her futon and made some space for Yoh. He laid down beside her. Anna cuddled a bit into Yoh and he put an arm around her. Then both fall asleep.

--------------------

As Yoh woke up the next morning he felt something warm beside him. He opened his eyes and saw Anna, cuddled into him. He smiled. She looked so cute when she was asleep.

"Better then every birthday present I could get" he thought and brushed one of Annas away. "Aishiteru", he whisperd, not knowing that Anna was awake and heard what he had said. But she didn't move.

"I love you too", she thought and smiled, because she can smile.
