My Non-winged Angel
A Jeanne and Zeke/Hao Love fanfic
Disclaimer: I don't own Shaman King! I'm just a total fan of it!
By: Eruna is my first time making a fanfic so please don't make any bad comments that may discourage me.
By the way, I prefer Hao to be called Zeke so please don't kill me if I didn't use his original name. Oh and this is not based on the series itself. This is an alternate universe but some of their personalities are the same.
Chapter 1: The Angel in Our Class
Zeke Asakura is known as the playboy in the whole Kurenai High School. He is a total heartthrob and was admired by every girl in school (except for Anna). He usually makes a lot of trouble in school and holds the world record of detentions. He's as carefree as his younger brother but does listen in class and have almost passing marks to show the girls' that he's not that dumb unlike his brother who sleeps in class. But he does hate school because it's such a darg and it doesn't suit his aura of coolness as he usually says. He likes girls obviously so he dated every girl that finds him attractive. But one thing's for sure, for the past 16 years of his life, none of them were the girl in his dreams. The girl that he dreams every night is very different from any girl he met. But what he doesn't realize is that the girl he finally met changed his life forever.
BRIIIIING!!!!!!!!!! BRIIIIIING!!!!!!!
A boy sat up from his bed. He rubbed his eyes, let out a yawn and stretched his eyes upward. That boy was none other than the 16 years old, Zeke Asakura. He turned off his alarm clock that woke him up from his slumber. He got up from his bed, wore his slippers, grabbed his clothes from the closet and walk out his door.
"Good morning bro!" he was greeted by his younger brother, Yoh. He raised his hand and expected a high-5 from his elder brother. CLAP. "Morning!" Zeke said with a grin.
He went inside the bathroom and took off his t-shirt and loose jogging pants. He placed them down the washing machine and let somebody else do the washing whoever Anna (Yoh's fiancée) hired to clean the inn. But he really was expecting that it'd be Manta Oyamada. He sighed. 'Poor guy.' He thought 'I kinda pity him that Anna can always see him at the front line even though he needs a little more growth enhancements to reach the doorknob,'
He entered the shower room, turned on the shower and let the cold water flow and soak his body. He closed his eyes and stayed still. All of a sudden, he remembered his strange dream last night. He saw a girl in his dream. It was a starry night sky and the moon is full and bright. A girl right about his age stood by a near lake. 'Who is she?' he wondered. She looks like an angel. She has a pale yet creamy complexion. She has red eyes, angelic smile and a long yet soft and wavy silver hair. She wore something like a normal maid's uniform will wear except for those metal caps that are placed and somehow locked on her shoulders. She was moving her lips as she was saying something but he can't seem to understand. He reached out his hand to touch her but it didn't happened because his alarm clock rang.
'Stupid alarm clock' he moaned. He opened his eyes and turned off the shower. He got out and dried off his hair using a towel that is hanging in the towel rack.
He went inside his bedroom and wore his uniform. The uniform he wore was like the one in the series but it's much more of the winter uniform.
He went out and headed downstairs. Just as he was going down, he could hear Anna bossing Yoh again and kept on giving harsh comments on his cooking. She kept saying that how could he let her future starve for the rest of the day. He could also hear Yoh saying sorry to her.
He sighed and grinned, as he was about to walk in to the dining room and said, "Wow. It's so early in the morning and I can feel that love is in the air."
"Shut it Zeke" Anna said coolly.
"Hey I'm just sayin' " he cocked his head to the side and smirk.
"Want some breakfast bro?" Yoh said. He placed a burnt sunny side-up egg on a plate. Zeke stared at it with a hint of displeasure. "Are you sure this is…edible?" He sat down on a chair and picked up his chopsticks. He first ate the bowl of rice and took a piece of the egg but didn't even dare to take a bite.
"What's the matter Zeke? You're not eating?" Anna asked with a slight smirk on her face. "Don't you wanna eat your beloved brother's cooking? Which by the way is very 'exquisite' " she added with a sarcasm in her voice.
"Hey guys! Please! I worked hard on that! It's not my fault I wasn't born as the greatest iron chef in the world," Yoh cried. He took off his apron and placed it at the side.
Anna was giving him glares that totally freaked Yoh out. He could tell that those glares mean that she is gonna add a hundred laps to his hundred laps every morning.
Zeke stared at the two 'couple'. He can't believe that Yoh is so weak and pathetic in front of a girl. 'What am I saying? Anna is not your regular girl that you can see everyday,' Sure, Anna can be really cold at times. She was even known as the Ice Queen at school, which made her one of the most popular students for being so calm and cool all of the time. But because of her icy glares, a lot of people never bothered to talk relaxingly in front of her. Even so, she's a good friend and Yoh is very lucky to be with her. Zeke thought of Anna 6 years ago as a total bitch for being so violent. But time passes by and he got used to her spitfire attitude and he even became one of her most trusted friends.
Other teens came into the room. They were Ren Tao, the Ainu Horo-Horo and Pirika Usui. They also lived in the same inn as Zeke, Anna and Yoh. They're all such good friends even though they hade their HUGE differences. Ren Tao moved in their inn 2 months from China ago because he was running away from his sister, Jun Tao. She is such an overprotective sister to him. She's always treating Ren as a little baby, which embarrassed him that he had the guts to run away from home. He thought that her sister wouldn't think that she moved in to a house full of a total lazy slacker (Yoh), violent and cold Ice Queen (Anna), a perverted playboy (Zeke), a somewhat like clone of her sister because she's a nagger (Pirika), a complete idiot (Horo-Horo) and some motorcycle dude with a weird hairstyle (Ryu). And then, Horo-Horo and Pirika moved in 6 months ago. They said that they're from Hokkaido and moved in here to Tokyo because they want to plant thousands of lily pads starting at this place for the Menucians. They moved in to the inn to have a place to stay. Zeke, Anna, Yoh and Ryu were so surprised that they have such an ambition. And last but not the least, Ryu moved in a year ago. He moved in to find a sacred hang of his own. He said that this is the perfect place considering the luxurious hot springs. Another reason is that he's very dedicated to Yoh. Yoh changed his way of thinking after they had that fight at the cemetery. And he will serve him until the end of time.
"What's for breakfast?" Horo-Horo asked putting a hand on his head.
"Yoh's specialty: burnt sunny side-up" Zeke answered placing the egg down and just decided to eat the rice.
"What? Again?" Horo-Horo groaned.
"Honestly. Why do you people struggle for a guy that stinks at the kitchen?" Ren said and sat down on a chair.
"I don't wanna eat a burnt course every morning of my life." Pirika added.
"Ouch!" Yoh cried.
"Where's Ryu anyway? Isn't he the cook?" Horo-Horo asked.
"He's asleep" Anna replied.
"Well, wake him up or something," Ren said.
"Yeah! Accidents can happen if you let Yoh do the cooking." The Ainu boy added. Then Yoh banged his head on the table and muttered.
"You think I haven't tried that? That guy's a heavy sleeper," Anna explained as she took a sip of hot tea.
"Oh yeah! Knowing you, you have already thrown him out of the window the first time he slept here," Zeke finally spoke.
"Humph" Anna gave him a glare.
They decided to let go of Ryu sleeping and just decided to eat Yoh's cooking every morning. They also have to hurry cause they only got 20 minutes left until school starts. They finished their meals and went to the door. They slid their feet to their shoes and rushed out of the door and ran their way to Kurenai High School.
"Hurry up! We're gonna be late!" Yoh exclaimed.
"I don't think that egg can give me an energy boost today!" Horo-Horo groaned as he held his hand to his stomach.
"Is food you always think about you idiot?" Ren yelled.
"Will you nimrods stop talking and keep running!!" Anna scolded.
"I don't think I can get used to this running everyday!" Pirika complained.
They ran as fast as they could. Yoh pointed the shortest route to school. And then they made it in time. It only took them 15 minutes to get there because of will power and they have 5 minutes to breathe from that entire running before classes start.
They got inside and placed their shoes inside their cubbies and changed into their other shoes. They ran up and went in to their classrooms. Now they only have 3 minutes left until the teachers went to their respective homerooms.
"That was so close" Horo-Horo sighed.
"It's all your fault you pig!" Ren accused him as he placed his bag on the table.
"What makes it my fault!" Horo-Horo said back and slammed his hand on Ren's table.
"Guys! You're disturbing our classmates!" Pirika reproached them as many people were staring at the two.
"It is! If you just didn't bother to look for seconds in the fridge, then we wouldn't have to wait and drag you to finish it all off!" Ren explained and clenched his fists.
"Well I was hungry! Besides, you forgot your homework upstairs and we have to wait for you till you found it doesn't it?" Horo-Horo said back.
The crowd step back as quickly as they could and formed a circle as they saw that Ren's pointy-hair stood up in a very abnormal way (just like the series). They definitely smell a fight.
Yoh squeezed his way through the crowd to stop Horohoro and Ren from fighting. He stopped both of their fists from hitting each other and said, "Stop it guys! Just stop fighting!" They still didn't listen to you and was about to make the greatest hit ever until…Anna 'spoke'.
"IF YOU TWO DON'T STOP THAT AT THIS INSTANCE I SWEAR I WILL SMACK THE BOTH OF YOU THAT YOU WOULDN'T WALK STRAIGHT FOR A WHOLE MONTH!"
Ren and Horohoro gulped. They stopped fighting and went back to their seats but they kept sending glares at each other. All the other students we're surprised about Anna's speech. Other girls were amazed while the guys exchanged looks of fear. Yoh sighed and relaxed and went towards Anna's seat and said to her, "Thanks". He gave her a happy grin and she gave a small smile back. But there's one boy who hasn't noticed any of the commotion that has happened just two minutes ago, Zeke. He just placed his hand on his chin and stared blankly at the window from his seat. He still can't get that angel out of her head. She was so cute that Zeke is so determined to figure out the puzzle about what was she gonna say to him.
The teacher finally entered the classroom and the students went back to their seats but Zeke doesn't care. He still stared outside until their teacher, Mr. Harusaka, made an announcement.
"Class, I have an announcement to make," he said as he cleared his throat. No one was listening. The students just kept on bickering. He cleared his throat again. No one's paying attention. "SHUT UP PEOPLE! I KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE!" the teacher threatened them. Then the class did shut up. "We have a transfer student from France" he turned his head to the door and said, "Please come in." the door opened and a girl appeared before the students' eyes. She had long wavy silver hair, red eyes and creamy complexion. Everyone was surprised, even Zeke.
"That…that girl. She was in my dream." Zeke whispered.
"Please introduce yourself." Mr. Harusaka said.
"My name is Jeanne, Jeanne Evans. Nice to meet you" She replied softly and bowed her head. But a smile cannot be seen at her face. Of course Zeke knew that Anna rarely smiles too because she's always grumpy but something about that girl not smiling is so creepy.
"Nice to meet you too" the teacher smiled at Jeanne. "Well then, your seat is at the back of the classroom, beside Mr. Zeke Asakura, the brunette one." The teacher pointed at Zeke to show her the way.
Jeanne walked to her seat and placed her bag on the table. She sat down and blinked when she noticed that her seatmate, Zeke, was looking at her. "Is something the matter? Asakura-san right?" she asked with a soft voice. He then putted on his playboy smirk but it just made the girl cock her eyebrows. "Oh! Ah nothing! Nothing's the matter!" he then pulled his gaze off her.
"What's with Zeke?" Manta asked to Yoh.
"What's wrong with him?" asked by Horohoro. "He usually puts on his amazing playboy smile and make the girl melt. What happened to the magic? "
"What on earth happened to our playboy?" Yoh asked with his eyebrow cocked.
"You think it's the eggs that made him weird?" Horohoro smirked jokingly.
"Shut up!" Yoh laughed.
"Boys!" Mr. Harusaka shouted. "Do you prefer to listen in my class or spend your time in detention after instead?"
"Sorry!" they both apologized.
It was third period and Zeke kept on making small glances to her new seatmate. She seems so strange to him. Usually, he'll just flirt any girl that he sees. But he feels so uneasy about her. It's like when he touches her, she'll crumble like a porcelain doll. This is the first time Zeke felt uncomfortable being with a girl. When the girls are supposed to be melting in front of him because he's so handsome and charming, the tables are turned because he is amazed by Jeanne's beauty.
Jeanne noticed for the rest of the morning that Zeke was staring at her. She felt uneasy because it's like that guy hates him. She sighed as she saw for he 29th time that he is staring at him. She wished that she could transfer from her seat to get away from him to get him out the least of her worries. But thank God that it's almost Lunch and she can go and stay away to relax.
The bell rang signaling the school that it's now lunch time. Jeanne quickly got out of the room and headed for the canteen. Zeke tried to follow her but he was interrupted by lovey-dovey fangirls. "Oh Zeke! Here I made lunch for you. It's your favorite," one of the girls said. "No! Here Zeke take mine!" the other girl said. "Umm…ladies calm down I have to…"Zeke like a rabbit in the middle of a pack of wolves ready to eat him. Only instead, they're fangirls hoping him to eat their lunches and ask him out on a date.
"Girls" Zeke put out his winning smile to all, which totally melt the girls' hearts (not literally). "Thank you for giving me your hard work in making these delicious lunches to this only beautiful face existing in this planet, but as you can see I would like to eat them all but they're just too many." he explained. "You don't want me staying hospital in a week, don't you?" he gave eye contacts to every girl that melt them and even blush harder. The girls all agreed that they should leave him for alone for now. I'm sure they don't want to see him running to the doctor.
Zeke went to his best pals' circle and decided to hang out with them instead of going after the new girl.
Ren snorted. "The playboy smile always works huh?"
"Way the go to hold off the crowd pretty boy," the ainu boy commented and made a high-5 with Zeke.
"The only beautiful face that exists in this planet? We're twins how could you say that bro?" Yoh said with a hint of offended tone. But Zeke just made a wide grin and patted his twin's back.
"Anyway, what's with you lately?" Anna asked placing her palm on her chin.
"What about me?" Zeke asked back giving a glance to the Ice Queen.
"What she means is that why are you so weird around that new girl?" Manta Oyamada explained.
"Yeah Zeke. What's with you? You usually pick a girl's heart like a light pillow but when you're around a while her you were so…" Pirika did not continue what to say as she noticed that Zeke knew what they're trying to say.
"Tell me is that a new move to get a girl's phone number? What happens next? You're her stalker now?" Horohoro laughed out loud and he was went a smack on the forehead by Zeke.
"Well, I don't know it's like there's something weird about her that I can't seem to feel comfortable. It's like I just have to go to her and be close to her. It's like she needs me." Zeke brushed his hair with his fingertips and sighed.
"More like you need her. Not that's it. More like you want her." Ren corrected with a smirk on his face.
Zeke blushed at his correction. "No I don't!"
"What's is it Zeke?" Anna thought that this is getting interesting. She doesn't usually care if Zeke hand another girlfriend on his 100 girls list. But with the way he acted she sure wanna get involved.
"Look. It's nothing just leave me alone okay!" he went out of the room with his hands on his pocket.
The rest of the gang stared at him. They all wondered what happened to the confident, childish playboy they once knew. He acted so weird and he doesn't even wanna talk his problem out to his own friends.
After Jeanne bought and ate her food from the canteen, she went straight to the school's balcony. She smoothened her skirt as she sat down and leaned her back on the bars. She cocked her head and looked into the bright blue sky. She sighed. She was startled as she heard the door being opened she turned her head and saw a figure coming out of the window. It was her seatmate, Zeke Asakura.
She remained still when she saw Zeke walking towards her. He sat down beside her holding a can of soda he must have bought a while ago. The two didn't say any word at all. They remained silent until one spoke up.
"So…what do you think of Kurenai High?" Zeke asked not looking into her eyes.
"Well, I must say that it's very nice. I met a lot of nice people I guess." Jeanne answered.
It was a short conversation. Jeanne wondered what is he up to. Why on earth did he keep staring at her? Why is it that he sat beside her? The real reason why Zeke is giving her the arousing curiosity and suspicion is because he thinks for the first time in his life, he is taking interest in a girl as a normal boy inside of him; not as the playboy who has 50 love letters each day in his locker and dated over 200 girls in a year. Did I also mention that he holds 15, 489 detentions including his middle school and first year in high school? Zeke really wants her. He also wants to get to know her because he saw that girl in her dream.
"Hey. You mind if I have a date with you this Saturday?" he requested and finally looking at the angel's eyes.
"Excuse me?" she was surprised. "In case you haven't noticed, we only met 3 hours ago. And now you're asking me on a date?" she pointed out.
"Well you're cute! Isn't that fair enough?" he said.
Jeanne stood up. "I guess the rumors are true. You really are the playboy."
"I'm so glad that you finally know my bio in just a short time" he stood up as well and planted a smirk on his face.
"I don't like you" she said with an angry yet in a mannered way.
"Why not?" he asked with a boyish grin.
"Leave me alone." her voice raised. She was definitely getting angry.
Then suddenly the wind blew hard. Both of their hair was moving with the wind. They stared at each other.
Zeke walked towards Jeanne. Jeanne walked back two little steps to show that she is not afraid. Zeke took her hand and placed something there. Jeanne let go of her hand from Zeke's grip and put her hands on her side not yet looking whatever she gave him.
"Tell me who are you really?" he asked.
"What do you mean?" she asked. "I'm Jeanne Evans."
"Did you know I saw you in my dream? Don't you think that it's so strange? I saw you in my dreams all the time and the next day you're here." He said with amusement.
Jeanne's eyes widened. 'This boy could it be?' she thought.
"Hey about that date…" he continued their early conversation.
"You devil! Leave me!" she hollered at him. She walked towards he door and leave him but she stopped when Zeke spoke up.
"I'm not gonna lie to you. But I do wanna get along with you. I wanna know more abou you." He confessed.
"…There are some things that you must never ever know about me, Asakura-kun." And with that she left.
School was over and students are coming out of the building. Zeke went with his usual buds since he can't find Jeanne at all. He sighed. "There she goes."
Jeanne walked out of the building and spotted a black limo out of the gates. A chauffeur came out of the door opening the door for her. That man is tall and blonde. He looks very muscular and he wore glasses. Jeanne stepped inside the limo and the chauffeur closed the door. He went inside the limo and drove the limo.
"How was your day my lady?" he asked.
"It was fine Marco," she replied. "You know, I met a boy today," she added. "He's very rude and such a womanizer, yet he said something weird. He said that he saw me in my dreams."
"I don't like that boy which you speak." Marco frowned. "You should stay away from him if I were you my lady"
"I suppose you're right." She agreed. She reached for her pocket and reached out for the thing that Zeke gave her. It was a red ribbon. "But…"
