I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless lost under the surface
Don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes

Yoh was sick of it. Sick of everything Anna was making him do. All she did, was sit there watch TV, and order him and all of his friends around. Yoh sighed and ran a hand through his hair. He took a deep breath, stood up, and walked slowly towards the living room, heart pounding against his ribcage.

"I can do this, I can do this.." yoh muttered to himself, small beads of sweat appearing on his forehead. When he got to the living room, he stared at Anna, who was sitting down, staring at the TV screen.

The shaman let out a small moan, and walked towards the Itako, who peeled her eyes off of the TV to stare at him.

Yoh bent down, and pickde up the small remote control on the floor, and turned the tv off.

A fuming Anna stood up abruptly, glaring at the taller boy, "Asakura Yoh, what the fuck was that all about?" she hissed angrily.

"Anna, I- I'm sick of all of this- Sick of YOU!" Yoh exlaimed, his chocolate brown eyes narrowing.

Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow) "

"What?" Anna asked, her fists clenched, "What the fuck do you mean by 'I'm sick of you'? Is this your idea of a sick joke, Yoh?"

"I'M NOT JOKING, ANNA!" Yoh burst out, causing the blond to jump in surprise. "All you ever do is boss me around. Hell, you even boss my FREINDS around!"

"You never complained about this before, so wh-" "SHUT UP!" Yoh screamed, face twisted in anger.

"What the hell is your problem!" Anna seethed, raising her left hand, about to slap him. Yoh caught her arm in mid-slap, earning a gasp of surprise from Anna.

"You're my problem!" He tightened his grip on her arm, nails diggin into her skin, causing her to bleed a little.

Anna stared at him wide-eyed, mouth open. She winced from the force of Yoh's grip, and tried to wriggle her arm out of his hand.

Yoh simply tightened his grip even more, not hearing Anna's gasps of pain.

" ow... Yoh, let go, s-sto-, STOP IT!" she screeched, her eyes closed shut from the pain.

"NO YOU STOP IT! Why can't you just leave me alone! I won the fucking title, and you have the so-called 'easy life' you've always wanted. What more can you ask for!" He demanded, a slight tone of hysteria in his usually gentle voice.

I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I've become so tired so much more aware
I'm becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

" Yoh, stop, please. youre hurting my wrist." She pleaded, opening her eyes, onyx orbs shining.

Yoh glared at her coldly, reminding Anna of Hao, sending shivers down her spine.

Anna let out a small whimper of pain, and stared pleadingly into Yoh's cold, unforgiving eyes. Before, all she ever saw in him , was happiness, warmth and forgivness, and now, she was beginning to think that he really does hate her.

Can't you see that you're smothering me
Holding too tightly afraid to lose control
Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you

" Yoh, I-I'm sorry, please, let me go.." she begged, barely a whisper. Unsure if Yoh heard her, she opened her mouth to say somehting again, but the Shaman King threw her forcefully, her head colliding loudly against the TV.

A painful cry escaped from Anna's mouth as she tried to get up, only to be pushed back down by the one person she'd ever think would do that.

(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
And every second I waste is more than I can take

" You know you deserved that, don't you Anna? " he whispered, cupping her chin with his hands.

" Come now Anna, you won't cry now, will you? ( Yoh-kun is scary O.O )

" Yoh, please... s-stop.." She pleaded. " Please, d- don't hurt me anymore..."

Yoh looked at her, eyes narrowed, and stood up.

I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I've become so tired so much more aware
I'm becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

And I know
I may end up failing too
But I know
You were just like me with someone disappointed in you

" I'm going." he stated, ignoring the sobs coming from the ice-queen herself.

"I'm going away from you. " he walked toward the stairs, but suddenly stopped and turned his head around to glance at her. He grinned sadly, and disappeared into the hallway.

A few minutes later, he appeared with his bags, his katana, and Amidamaru, who was floating behind him, staring blankly at his master.

He walked out the door without even the smallest 'Good Bye', slamming it as he got out.

Anna sat upright, tears pouring down her pale cheeks, staring hollowly at the door.

"I never got to tell him.. how I felt.." she whispered to herself, and fell back, crying.

I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I've become so tired so much more aware
I'm becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you
