Chapter 1
It was 4 a.m. in the morning. As he walked through the silent night thinking about the horrifying day he had gone through a year ago, he felt guilt washing over him again. He really hope that it was just a nightmare despite the face he knew that it was futile. While he was walking, he suddenly felt the hairs on the back of his neck rising.
There was someone else that was walking behind him.
He abruptly stopped and turned around. There was no one else other than himself and a huge tree. He continued with his walk and heard footsteps from behind and turned behind him. Again he saw nothing. He knew he felt something. Somehow it felt familiar but at the same time it felt frightening. He continued with his walk again and this time he walk faster.
At the same time, the footsteps were also pacing up as if they we're chasing him. He began running and the footsteps are still heard very clearly in his ears. He turned around only to see a demon behind him.
'WAHHHHHH! A DEMON!'
He ran with all his might and blamed himself for not bringing his guardian spirit with him. The demon managed to grasp its leg and he fell down on the floor. The demon held its left hand and was about to kill him with it's sharp and long talons when the demon suddenly roared in pain. The boy quickly escape from his grasp and without knowing it the demon was on fire and in a few moments all that remained were ashes of the demon and thick smoke covering the area. Then, he saw a silhouette of a person approaching to him. He knows too well whose silhouette it belonged to. Even so, he couldn't believe his own eyes.
'You really are something…to thought that you actually walk leisurely with a demon? You're really courageous Yoh…' He smiled mischievously at him….
'HAO?!'
Yoh stared incredulously at the person who was now standing in front of him. 'It can't be him...it can't be…' he thought to himself.
'What do you mean it can't be? I'm standing here and reading your minds alright…' the person addressed frowned at him.
'But….but I thought you are supposed to be dead! I killed you with my very own hands!' he grimaced at the memory and felt that guilt washing over him as he ended his statement.
'How naive…you didn't change at all since the last time I saw you in the tournament…' Hao smirked at him. 'It's all in the past already so just forget about it and continue with your living already…' He said almost dismissively. Yoh gaped at him for a few seconds.
'What are you talking about?! Aren't you angry at what I did?!' Yoh stared at him in confusion. Hao shrugged.
'You heard me…anyway you better leave now or you are going to be in trouble soon…' Hao said as he began to disappear.
'Wait! You haven't answered my questions yet! HAO!'
Everything disappeared.
