Shaman King Fan Fiction ❯ Rain ❯ Rain ( One-Shot )
[ P - Pre-Teen ]
is my first Shaman King fanfic. Please comment and tell me what you think. I’m still new to writing fic’s. I tried to keep them in character as much as possible. I hope I succeeded.
Disclaimer: I do not own Shaman King!
Anna had never seemed much like the romantic, wife type. Others viewed her with reverence, fear, and possibly even paranoia. She didn’t mind. To her, it was a way of gaining respect she felt she most rightly deserved. After all, who else could whip the boys into shape? Tama’s too timid, and Jun is always off with her precious Bailong. Not that that was a bad thing. Anna was actually quite happy that Rin’s older sister finally found some contentment in her life.

“Marie, I love you! Don’t leave me!”
“But Jack, I love Brandon!”
“But Marie! I don’t love YOU! I love JACK!”
*Marie faints*~~~
That was the sequence Anna was currently watching on the soap opera “Sex, Drugs, Violence, and Drama”. Anna had to admit, she got swept away by soap’s pretty easily, though she found them ridiculous at first. But then again, when you’re bored, you’ll do almost anything to amuse yourself. But now it was even worse.
The boys had gone to America to participate in the Shaman Tournament, and she of course was left behind. She was still hurt that Yoh wouldn’t spend his last evening there with her. She and Tama had a prepared a meal for the boys, but they totally disregarded their efforts. At least, that’s how she felt. It’s hard to see other viewpoints when you’ve been emotionally hurt. She supposed people would be surprised to find she had emotions at all that weren’t characteristic of a slave-driving house wife. She didn’t usually go soft around people. She could just see Manta’s reaction… She cracked a smirk at the thought.
The soap continued:
~~~
“Jack! Why? Why can’t you love me the way you love Sara?!”
“Marie! I just cannot return your love! I love her now! You must understand!”
“NEVER!” *kisses passionately*
*Sara walks in* “OH NOES! That’s my lover you’re passionately kissing!”
“HE’S Mine now~!”
*Brandon steps in* “But Marie! Don’t you know? Sara is your long-lost twice removed illegitimate and partially crippled younger sister!”
*everyone* “GASP~!”
~~~
Ok, now things were getting interesting. Not necessarily in a good or bad sense, but rather in the sense that Anna could not resist drama. Not in real life of course. Why should she start drama in real life *cough*.
Also, she couldn’t help but let out an amused laugh at the stupidity of the people and unrealistic events in these soap operas. Perhaps that was one of the things she found most enjoyable about them. She continued munching on the chips she had with her, when she heard distant thunder, the first signs of an on-coming storm.
Anna loved rain. She always found it relaxing to her. It was cool and refreshing, and it helped her to think. She remembered staring at it when she was young. Yoh was always too distracted though. He’d either be training, eating, sleeping, or reading the latest comics with the local ghosts. He Didn’t mind the rain either, but Anna felt he didn’t take the time to really appreciate it like she did.
Yoh was different, that was for certain. His nonchalant attitude often got on her nerves, and he seemed addicted to sleep. But over the years, she felt she grew to appreciate these traits about him. After all, he wouldn’t be the Yoh she cares about if he didn’t have those laid back traits. Perhaps in a way, they balanced each other out. She kept him in line, and he helped her to relax. Even she couldn’t help but smile at his antics.
Though she’d never openly admit it, Manta, she felt, had been one the best things to happen to Yoh. Shorty brought out the best in Yoh, and gave Yoh a true sense of companionship that not even a ghost could’ve given him. Plus, without Shorty, who would do the housework?
But Manta had become like family over the past few months. Yoh needed a friend to help him out and encourage him. And not only that, but he won’t have to worry about making enemies with Manta in the tournament. Anna couldn’t help but feel slightly jealous of the lil’ freak. Yoh had never opened up to her like he does Manta. She wanted him to, though. She wanted to know what was going on in his life, what he was feeling and what he wanted. But for some reason he never really opened up to her. Perhaps he was scared of her more than she thought…
The soap opera was now drawing to a close:
~~~
*Announcer* “Is Marie really pregnant with the Minister’s baby?! Will Sara ever tell Jim she is his daughter?! WHO KIDNAPPED BRANDON?! And why is Jack in the Mafia?!?! All will be revealed on the next episode of ‘Sex, Drugs, Violence, and Drama’!!!!”
~~~
‘That’s stupid. Everyone knows Brandon kidnapped himself in order to get close to Jack, even though Jack is actually dying of a fatal illness’ Anna stopped thinking. Wow. She really was getting too into these things. She decided to take a break. Picking up the remote she turned off the tv and cleaned up the area she was currently sitting in. She could hear the rain and thunder outside, and suddenly felt compelled to go watch it. She was feeling more reflective that usually. The house was just too quiet without the boys.
Getting up, she walked to the kitchen and put away the chips. She then turned her attention to the door leading to the courtyard. Stepping outside, she felt cold. So grabbing a jacket, she stepped outside once more. The rain was coming down hard, but peacefully. She knelt on the porch and blew warm breathe into her hands. It had been three weeks since Yoh left for America and she missed him. She couldn’t deny it. She just wouldn’t admit it.
‘Maybe I should surprise him… who knows what sort of trouble he’s in without me to guide him’ Anna couldn’t suppress a slight sarcastic laugh. She could just imagine the boys’ faces if she showed up there unexpectedly. Especially Yoh. Hopefully he wasn’t in any sort of confrontation with Hao. ‘Shoot. I forgot about him…’ She suddenly felt uneasy. ‘Maybe I should pay a visit…’ A clash of lightning broke Anna from her thoughts. She had all the faith in the world in Yoh, but she still worried about what trouble he could get into. His lighthearted attitude sometimes made him pass for a pushover.
A while of silence passed, and Anna soon became drowsy. Walking inside and shutting the door, she removed her coat and checked the clock. 10:08 pm.
She decided she would sleep on it. Maybe after a good night’s sleep she could think more clearly. At this point however, she was too exhausted to think.
Heading to the bathroom, she took care of her night business before walking slowly into her room. She fixed her bed and turned out the light. Finally, she could sleep. Being the future Shaman King’s future wife was not an easy job. She deserved some rest.
She slept peacefully through the night.
Thank you all for reading!
