Authors notes: This is a story that is similar to the novel The Mists of Avalon (cant remember the authors name), except that in this novel the love triangle is going to be HoroXRenXOC. This is close to the novel, but it will be different (hopefully). If people think I used anything from their story please inform me. Another book I used for inspiration was the novel Shogun (Cant remember the authors name) so I hope you enjoys this story.
Warnings: This story will contain Yaoi so if you are anti-gay or simply anti-yaio don't read it. I don't own Shaman King, Mists of Avalon or Shogun. I only own my OC (sort of) so don't steals him please. Also I know I am bad when it comes to tenses so I will read this over once but don't expect miracles… okay. PLEASE REVIEW!
The Stranger
A northern wind swept over the isolated castle of the Tao. A boy stood in a private garden watching the fog slowly move in. His dark hair was a chestnut brown and his eyes a light almond. He wore a simple suite and held his Bo Dai, (not sure how it is spelt) tightly, in his left hand. Lifeless bodies surround the boy. There is a lone caw as one lifeless body attacks. The boy mechanically responds and slices the talisman that powers the lifeless body. The boy soon lowers his Bo Dai and said, " I am finished."
While the boy said this, the lifeless form became nothing but dust. The boy then called, "Bason!"
With the boys call a ball of red light appears. The ball quickly responds with, "Yes Master?"
The boy simply says, "What is happening… I feel a strong power coming."
Bason simply responds with, "I don't know?"
The boy looks out over the garden to see a group of soldiers holding two people. The first person has pale white skin with dark brown hair, the person is unconscious and is being held by two soldiers, wearing only a pair of pants. The other person is not very quite. His hair is dark blue; the person wears clothing similar to the people of northern Japan. The boy looks at them both and thinks 'heathens, disgusting heathens'. As the boy focuses on his surroundings, the boys he realizes he is no longer alone. His sister came out in a dress and simply says, "Come on… this should be good."
The boy walks form his hidden garden to the main hall. The boy's sprit follows him closely and stands at his side. While the boy's father, En, sits in his thrown waiting for the uninvited guests. The boy looks at his father with disgust. Oh how he loathes his father, he is evil and uncivilized. He listens to the christen priest that poisons his mind. The boy watches in anticipation as the great oak doors slowly to open, to revel the guards. They walk in a mechanical motion slowly moving towards En. The guards held the second prisoner tight while the other one was held rather loosely.
The blue haired boy struggles and screams "Let me go… let go of me. I didn't do anything!"
The boy looks at the prisoners with a cold glare, as his father says in his booming voice, "guard who are these?"
One of the guards speaks up and says; "We found them on the beach besides a ship wreak."
En quickly responds, "Then why did you bring me a dead body?"
The guard responds with, " The second boy is simply unconscious. His eyes are green… he cannot be Japanese."
En looks at the guard and simply says, "Get father Thompson. Tell him I need him and remove that Japanese swine from my sight."
After a while a man walks into the room. His wooden sandals clacked on the marble floors. A man slowly walks into the room wearing a yellow robe. His face is shaven and he has a thick black mane of hair. He is about 20 and as he enters he bows respectfully and said says, "How may I be of service Lord En?"
En looks at the priest and says," It seems we have a foreigner in our midst. The boy with brown hair has green eyes. My guard seems to think that he is not from the region…maybe you would know where he is from?"
Father Thompson simply says, "Of course... do you know anything about him"
En simply says, "No… it is time to wake him up"
Father Thompson simply responds with, "No, No…take him to my room and I will attend to the boys need… of course you may have one of your soldiers come along... I will need help."
En nods and says in a low booming voice, "Ren… get over here now!"
The boy slowly walks over with his sprit floating closely by. The boy bows and says in his defiant voice, "How can I help you father?"
En responds with, "You will be in charge of helping Father Thompson … you must keep our special guest under control when he wakes up. I also expect you to listen to Father Thompson and respect him."
Ren looked at his father and said. "Yes of course… Just as soon as the other prisoner is intergraded."
En nodded and simply said, "Of course."
Ren watched his father's guards follow Father Thompson to his quarters with the prisoner in hand. They later returned with the Japanese prisoner who was still kicking and screaming. En looked at the boy and said, " I am Lord En, master of this castle and 3rd in line for the thrown of Chain. Why have you entered my domain?"
The Japanese boy responded with, "Just call me Horo and I am a Inuit so please don't assume that I am a simple Japanese."
En then said, "Fine Horo-chan what did you come here for?"
Horo said quietly, " Why do I have to explain my reason to some big Chinese pig?"
En erupted with furry and said, "How dare you… you filthy Inuit! I demand that you give me all your information immediately!"
Horo said in defiance, "I do not need to tell you anything. So you might as well go to hell you stupid twit. I think you are nothing, but a bully. You are so ignorant that you can't see what is in front of you. If you must know the ship I was in got caught in the recent storm. I was luckily cast onto your shore, however I don't know about the other person. I was not even awake when your guards found me."
En simply responded with a great amount of anger, "how dare you say such idiotic things. I hope you like dungeons because that is where you are going to stay for a long, long time. Ren take care of this garbage. If you find out anything important tells me."
As Ren slowly walked out of the hall to Father Thompson's room, he did not realize the affect that these two boys would have on his life or what role they would play in the future of China.
A couple of hours pass… it is now later in the night and Ren is waiting in Father Stephenson's room with the mysterious boy. Horo is in the prison and En is resting in his room. Ren sits with his sprit waiting for the boy to wake up.
Ren stared at the unconscious boy. His eyes were unwavering as Ren pondered what Father Stephenson was going to do to him. He despised the priest: his smell, his clothing, his speech and most definitely his arrogance. As Ren thought about the countless hours he had to spend with the idiotic priest the boy's eyelids started to quiver. The boy's body soon started to quiver all over and Ren glanced at the boy's fair face. His skin was fair and his hair was unkempt, but for some reason Ren could not keep his eyes off of him. With that thought Ren focused his hearing and heard the steps of the priest. Ren quickly mentally slapped him self and said in his usual voice, "He's waking up!"
As Ren's voice echoed threw the hall, Ren heard the priest yell, "I will be right there."
Ren looked back at the boy to find that his eyes were open. Ren and the boy's eyes met causing an unknown passion to be awakening within Ren. The boy's eyes were a deep green that reminded Ren of the Forests of the north. Ren loved the forests of the north and enjoyed wondering them. As the boy looked the other way, the door opened reveling Father Stephenson. Father Stephenson then spoke in Latin and Ren only understood a few words (Father Stephenson spoke horrible Latin), "Stephenson…priest…where…you from… name?"
The boy responded in perfect Latin and Ren actually understood him, "My name is Leo, but I am more commonly know as Kiyu."
Father Stephenson responded with, "But… where are… you… from?"
Kiyu simply responded with, "Britannia… where are you from Father"
Father Stephenson smiled and said in a similar language to Latin, "Ahh I have found a fellow citizen of Britannia… what part? How is it? Are the Saxon's at bay? Is everything alright?"
Kiyu slowly got up and said, " I am form Avalon…."
With the mentioning of Avalon, Father Stephenson broke in and said, "Are you truly form Avalon?"
Kiyu nodded and said, "…Yes I am form Avalon. Sorry to tell you this, but I have been lost in the realm of the Fairies for weeks and as you should know time moves very slowly in that realm… So I don't know how long time has past. What year is it?"
Father Stephenson said, "Have you really been in the realm of the Fairies. I have heard stories about people being lost in there and never being seen again. "
Kiyu just nodded and said, "Yes"
Ren said in perfect Latin, "Father Stephenson, what is Avalon?"
Father Stephenson looked at Ren with cold eyes and said, "You have been rude…introduce your self."
Kiyu looked at Ren and said, "My lord my name is Kiyu and kin of Avalon… I hope I have not caused you any problems."
Ren said slowly, and rather coldly, " Nothing more than a usual guest… I have some questions for you? But I guess we should wait until you are a bit stronger.
Father Stephenson said, "yes I agree… I shall go get you some food. I am sorry to say, but the food here is nothing like Britannia. However the food here is excellent. Ren come with me… I may need help. Kiyu please get some more rest.
Kiyu said in a tired voice, "thank you."
Later in a dark secluded part of the castle a shadow speaks to an unknown party. The shadows voice is muffled and indistinguishable, "Master we have a problem. Our unexpected guest may cause some difficulties. I sense a great power from both of our unexpected guests. However right now I cannot tell you how powerful they are." Then a sound echoed threw the shadows.
The shadow then nodded and said, "Yes master"
