"How boring" Yo stretched and yawned. He'd sat there for about an hour, staring out at the rain falling on the lawn and trees. It had been raining for days and you couldn't walk three meters without getting soaking wet. And tomorrow was his 17th birthday.
"If you're bored, train more," said Anna, who had just entered the room and turned on the television. Yo groaned. "The tournament is over for ages, why should I keep training?" She silenced him with a penetrating look. "There are still strong opponents. Maybe one day someone who is even stronger than Zeke will show up. I'm just worried" Her fiancé just shook his head and thought that it didn't look like it at all. "Is there anything I can do?" He asked and she nodded. "Yes. You and Tamao, you have to go shopping again before she leaves this afternoon" She said that without even looking up. Sighing, Yo got up and went into Tamao's room; she was just about to pack her things.He leaned casually against the door. "Anna said we should go shopping," he said and Tamao nodded. "I know, she already told me that. Can you ...", she began, but then interrupted: "Oh, no, forget it", she whispered with red cheeks, but Yo wanted to know what she was thinking of Sentence finished: "Can you accompany me to the train station?" She didn't look at him, but stared at her suitcase, which she had just closed. She drove to Yo's grandparents for two weeks to study. Although she was happy, she was sad at the same time because she couldn't see Yo for so long. "Sure," he said briefly and then went to get Tamaos and his raincoat. "But we probably can't do that anymore," he stated with a look at the clock and she nodded. "We could go shopping and on the way back you take me to the train station ..." she stuttered. He said yes.
There was an incredible amount going on on the platform, even more than usual, and there was a huge crowd.At least 3 people got on Yo's right foot and when he got home it hurt badly, probably he was sprained. He went quietly into the living room and saw Anna lying on the floor and sleeping. Smiling, he knelt down next to her and brushed a few strands from her face. When she slept, she was almost peaceful. Yo had once heard that when a person sleeps, he shows his true self and hoped it was like that. He put the bag with the purchases on the table and then carried Anna into her room to her futon. Carefully he put it down and covered it up, after which he watched it for a short time. Then he went into the kitchen, put the things he had bought in the refrigerator, and went outside to jog, even though it was still pouring rain.
"What is going through your head?" Asked Amidamaru when he had walked for about half an hour. "I don't know," Yo admitted and stopped to take a breather. "I'm just wondering how to go on," he said, raising his face to the sky."I ask myself that too. But there doesn't always have to be a goal"
