SUMMARY: What if everything about the shaman king story was just but a dream of a normal high school kid, then ended up stumbling on the same characters on his real life much to his surprise?

Story Title: MY DREAM, BUT WHOSE FATE?
Chapter 1:
DREAM TO REALITY
"WAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" That was definitely one hell of a scream in early morning from a brunette boy of 16 as he scuttled from his bed towards the adjacent room of his twin.
"WAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" He went over and over again, who cares whether he's happy or scared, while pulling the leg of his brother attempting to arouse him from his deep slumber. "ANIKI! WAKE UP! ANIKI!" EEEKKK….. Oopsie. I think I just ripped off his fave PJs. Gah!
A nerve snapped. "CUT THAT CRAP, YOH!" yelled the annoyed twin while tossing his pillows unto the other half, "Quit fooling around this early if you don't wanna end up same fate with my alarm clocks!"
That silenced Yoh. Well, he really doesn't wanna end up getting stabbed a hundred times by a monstrous Hao every time the latter's slumber paradise is shattered. Poor alarm clocks. "Neh. Gomen, Aniki. It's just… I had this STUUUUUUPIDEST dream," Yoh said while scratching the back of his head added with his trademark grin.
Hao, who seemed wide awake now – thanks to the hysterical cries of his otouto – smirked, "I never thought there's even 'STUUUUUUPIDEST-er' THAN YOU. Hope there's such a word 'coz it really fits you, Yoh." He mocked while preparing his things for school. Yoh did the same.
Of course, Yoh basically (and foolishly) laughed at that part. Baka! – Hao thought while rolling his eyeballs.
"Well," Yoh continued, "I dreamt that I KILLED you. Hehe." Hao sweatdropped.
"Now that's REALLY stupid, Yoh. I wonder from whose STUPID brain did it came from."
But Yoh, being always naïve of the harsh comments of his brother (thinking those were his sweet sides, hell knows how they'd be considered as such), continued, "We were shamans… I got a whole gang with me… And a…" he shivered with goosebumps, "a MONSTROUS fiancée? too… Blah…"
And Yoh cheerfully narrated his dream's story (let's just say, the entire shaman king story, or probably a summary of it - it's up to you to think) however Hao never bothered listening at all, "…and it seems that I won against you! Hehe."
Hao just left him with a 'Whatever! The hell I care' look and went passed the tailing Yoh.
It was actually the first day of school. Everyone was excited to see the Asakura Twins – of course, being a heartthrob since gradeschool made them 'legendary'. Unfortunately, they hated it both. Too bad, in just few minutes before class, they became the talk of the society.
Altering the attention, Yoh just tattled about his dream while walking with Hao along the corridors towards their room – That's weird for him not slacking off, Hao remarked nearly quite annoyed of his brother's persistence.
But before Yoh could continue with his story, Hao intercepted, "I know, Yoh. You're happy because you beat me at least for once. Too bad it was only a dream, and it can never be real. So stop babbling."
At his last words, indeed Yoh paused, yet in split-seconds, "WAHHH!"
Another nerve snapped. Hao was about to punch his brother's soul out, not until he saw a gawking Yoh with his mouth wide-open while pointing to a certain person leaning against the corridor a few meters away from them. "T-T-T-THAT'S HER!" His eyes narrowed. His face, pale.
SLAP! Hao finally tapped Yoh's soul out, "Don't shout! I'm just an inch away, you fool!" Then, seeing Yoh quite recovering, Hao whispered, "So, You mean she's the…" he quoted with his fingers, "'Monstrous Fiancee' in your dream?" Yoh nodded. "And the name?" the older one added.
"K-KYOUYAMA ANNA!" That caught the girl's attention. Actually, that's "everyone's" attention for that matter. Well, the blonde girl slowly walked towards the still-gaping Yoh while eyeing him with her undying death glare. Then finally – SLAP! SLAP! (a one-two right-left combo = K.O.)
"That's why I told you, stop yapping! Give respect to the walls, Yoh. They're cracking for heaven's sake," Hao scolded his brother while assisting him in the nurse's clinic.
"Bhut-I-wash-shurprished… Peophle-shcream-when-theyr-shurprished…" Yoh mumbled with his cheeks swollen thus making the words quite muffled.
"Now. Happy?" Hao asked pertaining to his brother's fated encounter with the girl of her dreams.
Yoh nodded, although attempting to grin, he just nodded. "I-wana-geth-closher-tu-her… Helph-me-outh-Aniki…" Then with his puppy eyes, Hao sighed.
"And that's what you tell me after acquiring such a face?" Then he looked at his poorly looking brother… with pity… Oh! Scratch that! In split seconds, he smirked and was actually gradually laughing! "HAHAHAHAHAHA! You look like a bloated mad cow stung by a million bees! AHAHAHAHA!" Oh poor thing! Ahahaha!
Then Yoh cried waterfalls while Hao wiped the tears from his eyes. Well, he just can't help but laugh. Revenge is sweet! That's for my PJs, you butt-face! Ahaha! Then he left, cowering with a stomach ache – Curse you, Yoh, for making me laugh hell-mad like this. Sigh.
"Sensei. Sumimasen."
"You're late. For your first day," said the adviser as the brunette entered the room, "Name?"
"Asakura Hao." Afterwhich, he was motioned to sit in the midline row beside a familiar face. That's the girl earlier – Hao thought while exchanging dull stares with the so-named-by-Yoh, Anna. Deep inside, he was thanking her for slapping his brother that hard. Sweet.
Upon sitting, Hao introduced himself with his sweet trademark smile to the new girl seatmate, "I'm Hao Asakura, yuroshiku neh?"
Finally, she cut off the evil glare and looked away – Ignore. Ignore.
Hao smirked on her cool attitude.
Wrong move. The girl glared back – no one dares staying alive just to laugh against a Kyouyama Anna, she thought, fist-clenched.
Somehow, Hao seemed not to notice that, so he just went on smiling – although he was actually thinking how grateful he was to finally gain peace in mind without Yoh bothering him around and with this Anna as his seatmate who, just like him, hates talking. Ooohhh… I love serenity.
"Thanks, Nurse!" Yoh finally left the clinic and it was already "Going-home time!" Thanks for the whole-day rest; his cheeks were no longer swelling. "Wow! That girl is amazingly strong," then he grinned.
Recalling the girl from his dreams, he sheepishly smiled, "She is actually prettier and cooler up-close. Hehe. I never thought her legendary fist would sting as much as this than in the dream. Sigh. Hope we'd be in the same class just like my dream. I really wanna know her better." And he pranced his way towards the classroom he missed to enter on his first day of school.
Again, it was already dismissal so everyone rushed out of the room. However, before Hao could stand up, a voice beside him warned, "Move or die."
Chills instantly ran across his spine. Then he smirked, "So you can actually talk, eh?" But deep inside, he was shivering. If Yoh's dream were real, he's gonna be dead in – he wondered – minutes? Seconds? Or milliseconds? Looking around, he thought – Help? Anyone? Please?
Wrong move. Then, the blonde immediately stood up smashing her desk. That startled the once-still-cool Hao, "You moved your lips. Now say your prayers."
He gulped, "Can we negotiate on that?" He smiled trying to please the girl.
"Strike two." Now her glare seemingly says, 'Die now before I kill you.' He was already profusely sweating but the blonde was still ruthlessly glaring at him.
He sighed, attempting not to lose his cool, especially not against a girl, "Can I just apologize now, and then we're quits?"
The girl's brow rose, and spoke smartly, "Do you really intend to ask my permission first before you apologize? Or you just want me to do the same and ask your permission before I kill you?"
How cocky – he thought – just like how Yoh said. "Sorry now, Anna-san."
And the girl, seemingly quite pissed, blurted, "Do that on your knees." Then she crossed her arms waiting.
Now, Hao felt entirely humiliated. He never actually knelt in front of a girl before, but seeing that Anna's eyes stabbing him each and every glare (like how he stabs his alarm clocks each and every ring – I wonder if it's karma), he was left with no choice but to agree. And on bended knees – Oh crap! This is soooooooo embarrassing. Curse you, Anna! And curse you Yoh for dragging me into this! – he tried apologizing again but simultaneously…
A bag dropped from the classroom door…
"Aniki? Doshite?"
Shoot. "Yoh, it's not what you think it is." Then Hao immediately stood up thinking - Should I really be explaining here? It's not that I'm snatching his dream girl away from him. And it's not that she's HIS girl anyway. Apparently, seeing his younger sibling sniffed, nearly bursting into tears, Hao stammered rationalizing.
That, however, annoyed the Ice Queen. And despite the commotion between the twins, she kicked her own desk sending it in flight towards the siblings.
CRASH!
"ITTAI!" the brothers winced.
"Enough drama!" Then with her 1080 beads, hell knows how she could carry such long thing, she threw it around one Asakura while tugging him on ground away from the campus. "We still got business, Homo!" she muttered.
.
.
.
"ITTAI!" the boy screamed hoarsely with a choke, then pleaded, "Onegai..." hoping to be released by the burning-in-wrath Ice Queen. Too bad, he was neglected as she continued dragging the poor man, trying her best not to see her victim's face.
After his continuous begging attempts, Anna finally snapped, "URUSAI!" They were already in the middle of the bridge across the riverbank. They were alone. Thinking that this is the best place to accomplish her plan, she stopped. However, there was silence. That should be more comfortable for her; however, she felt nervous. Why did he stopped whining?
More annoyed of the sudden change in the atmosphere, she spoke in icy tone, "What are you doing, wimp?" But as she turned around ready to give him her legendary slap, she held back upon seeing a chibi Asakura - both eyes crossed and totally blue.
Shoot. Wrong guy. She immediately unfastened her beads from Yoh's body and tried waking the unconscious guy up. But to her dismay, No Pulse, No Breathing. What to do?
"Yoh!" the other Asakura finally arrived while panting after trailing behind them. Unfortunately, he was just indeed right in time to see his young otouto half-dead, or might be dead actually. "What the-"
Anna remained stiff, but she spoke in her calm yet cold tone, "No pulse. No breathing. He's dead."
Hao narrowed his stare unto his little brother, and with a snap, he glared back to Anna which sent chills down to her spine. Good for her poker face though, she never looked scared despite that. Hao yelled, "Do him CPR!"
She gasped. No way she'd do that. She's Kyouyama Anna after all. That will definitely blemish her wholesome identity. Hence, she refused, "You're the twin. YOU do it."
Now, it's Hao's turn to gasp. No way he could also possibly do that. Man! That sucks! No way to Twincest! Then to Anna, "YOU do it! Who strangled him to death anyway?"
"It's not strangle. It's called DRAGGING," she emphasized the last word assuring herself (and Hao) that it was not her fault. "And to think, it is HIS fault for letting himself choke while I was dragging him." The she scoffed. "Anyways, it's not my loss though. Pretty sure he's already brain dead after you took a lot of minutes arguing against me. Now it's you're fault that he's sure to die."
Hao, who finally realized how many minutes he spent arguing with a nonsense girl, dashed towards Yoh's side quite hesitating. Oh crap! As if I had a choice! Then he started doing chest compressions, and was about to perform mouth-to-mouth not until...
THUD! BOOM! CLASH! BAM! SMACK!
Yoh coughed up and gasped for air.
Hao plainly stared in disbelief.
Anna shrugged, "Geez! You're both disgusting!" Anyways, thanks to Anna's random kicks and punches that Yoh finally regained back his life - or would he rather wished he just stayed dead?
...for since the day the two met her, their life eventually turned upside down waiting for a detour at the downward-end of the slope.
"She's beyond extraordinary," the twins chorused wryly in their thoughts.
