[Cross/Nosaka x Anna] The Forgotten Empress

The search for the missing Empress

~A week later~

It's been a week since Anna disappeared. At first, no one cared, teachers and students decided that maybe Anna was ill, but it was strange that none of her parents reported it. As for the servants, they initially decided that perhaps their mistress had decided to stay the night with her friends, but they also found it strange... Why didn't Anna's parents call them and say anything about it? After all, usually, a girl always warns her family first, or rather asks for permission, and then they tell the servants. But they decided that maybe because of the lord's work they just forgot to tell them about it? But when three days had passed, the servants were alerted and they began searching for the girl. When they came to her school, it turned out that Anna had not been to school all this time, although in fact she was. Then the servants and the teacher began to worry and went to the police to report that the young Mrs. Mikado had disappeared. And two days later, the girl's parents returned to Japan and found out that their precious daughter was missing. Mr. Ray raised everyone's ears, he was ready to pay any amount just to find his princess. Mrs. Masami, on the other hand, prayed that her little girl would be all right and would be found alive and well. Otani, who found out about her friend's disappearance, immediately rushed to find her. She informed all the guys from the Japanese national team and Raymond about this and asked for help with the search. When Asuto and the team found out, they immediately returned to the city to help with the search for their former manager. Endo and Goenji decided to ask for help from their friends, so that instead of with their guys from the teams, they could help with the search. Kido and Hiroto used their family's money to hire people to search, while they also participated in the search for the girl. Then the whole city began to look for the missing Empress, who had been in a prominent place all this time, but for some reason no one noticed her.

*Anna's Pov*

Damn... When I said that I wanted to disappear, I didn't mean that I wanted to be invisible to everyone! And that damn rain! But I'm surprised that many people noticed my absence and went looking for me... That's just it... I didn't disappear anywhere and I was in front of their eyes all the time, but for some reason no one sees me. I even tried to talk to them, but they can't hear me... I even tried to somehow let them know that I was here, but because they perceived it as an accident or wind, some even decided that I had become a ghost... I wonder how long they'll be looking for me. Perhaps they will soon forget about me and decide that I have become the victim of some kind of maniac. Heh... For some reason, I don't want to be found... Well, it's not surprising, considering the state I'm in right now... I can't go back to school either, because it's closed. I went out to eat, and when I returned it was closed for the holidays... I've been sleeping outside for two days now... When I first fell asleep outside in the rain, I caught a cold, and now I feel like my temperature is getting higher and higher every time... I feel so bad that I don't have the strength to steal medicine and food... And now I'm lying on a bench in the rain and waiting for my time to leave this world... If you think about it, then at a high temperature, a person begins to smoke. Perhaps my quest as a race is a figment of my imagination and no one is really looking for me...

*Not whose Pov*

Anna felt her eyelids closing. Suddenly, she hears a painfully familiar and beloved voice.

Yuma: Anna, are you okay?!

You could hear the worry in his voice. Anna was sure that it was just her hallucinations, as she was sure that Nosaka would not worry about her and look for her. But she doesn't even realize how wrong she is. The guy put his hand on her forehead.

Yuma: Damn, you're burning up, you urgently needed medical help...

He took off his jacket and wrapped Anna in it, then picked her up like a princess and hurried to the hospital.
