Summary:

Love stories out of the language of flowers. Various pairings.


Originally, this is to be a Night World Gaiden (side story) where a little Fumiko finally hanged out with Hao, her "angel". Meh, it kinda ruins the story if I add this so I just made a new somewhat AU story.

Oc's one-shot fluff story with their favorite shaman king character. Tell me your oc's information and who she/he is paired too and I'll make a story to the first 10 to include that information in their review.


Warnings for present chapter: Ooc characters, somewhat AU


Clovers

Pairing: Hao x Fumiko


Normal PoV

It started with Fumiko's naïvety. Well, what could she say? The flower she found was indeed cute as she had described to her master.

"Hao-sama! What flower is this?" The blonde witch asked the fire shaman.

"That's called a white clover, Fumiko. They usually sprung out by June." Hao answered with a smile.

"That's why they're everywhere!" She grinned as if there's no tomorrow. "Hao-sama should keep this one!"

She handed over the white clover that she had picked a few seconds ago to the long-haired boy. A tinge of pink appeared on his face but disappeared as it got there. He took it and gently placed in the hollow underside of the Lego block of his glove.

Just for safe keeping... He nonchalantly thought to himself. Does she even know what a white clover mean?

But as the story had stated, she's just really naïve back then. Fumiko is just enjoying the green field they are at while Hao is already thinking on what to give her back.


~~The Next Day, After Dinner~~


Hao's acquaintances had set up their tents while some decided to sing along the campfire. Hao was having a little chat with his little brother, Yoh, in the onsen.

"Heh, that's what a white clover means?!" Yoh wondered aloud after hearing Manta's brief explanation.

"Hmm... what do you think I should give her then?" Hao contemplated as he sunk a little more in the hot water of the onsen.

"Depends on what you feel for her..." Yoh mumbled lazily.

"Yeah, what do you think of her anyway?" Manta questioned. "And while you're at it, why are you here again?"

Hao just smirked then laughed along with Yoh as Manta looked like he became a shriveled corpse due to his fright and huge imagination. Hao whispered his answer and they nodded in understanding.

"Then, I suggest giving her a four-leaf clover." The water bun (Hey! I heard that!) looking boy said.

"Eh? Naze? [1]" The younger brunette asked. "Is it because it's both clovers?"

"That and it means..." Manta whispered the rest of the information.

Hao smiled and stood up, not caring that the two boys can see him completely naked and soaked. His mind is only set into one goal. Finding a four-leaf clover.


~~The Next Day, Bedtime~~


"Goodnight, Hao-sama! Goodnight everyone!" Bade by the rest of Hao's acquaintances.

After the exchange of good nights, Hao set off to Fumiko's tent and slipped inside. He took a criticizing look at her. She is reading her own book of shadows, where she writes down her experiences and spells. Her blonde hair is splayed all over her pillow and she had her clothes changed into a simple white nightgown. Hao waited for a few moments to see if she would ever notice but it seems like she won't so he cleared his throat.

"Ahem!"

She perked her head up and immediately closed her book to face her master. "I'm sorry Hao-sama; I didn't notice you were there. Is something wrong?"

He simply smiled and ruffled her hair. "No, you're fine but there something I want to give you."

"What is it, Hao-sama?"

He brought out the four-leaf clover that he had searched for three hours straight. Four leaf clovers are really difficult to find even for the great onmyouji, Asakura Hao. Even so, he felt it was worth it.

"This is a four-leaf clover. I want you to keep it just like how I keep the white clover you gave me. I meant a lot to me especially the message you it had." Hao placed a kiss on her forehead which Fumiko always mistakenly believes as a brotherly kiss. "Goodnight, Fumiko."

Message? I just gave him the flower because it's pretty and it smells good. Could it be that he's referring to flower language? I'll figure it out tomorrow. "Ah, goodnight Hao-sama."


~~The Next Day, Patch Village Public Library~~


Fumiko get in the library and immediately went to the dictionary section. She continued browsing the books while mumbling "language of flowers" until she found the book she needed. Without any second thoughts, she flipped the page to the letter c.

"Clematis...Clotbur... Ah, clover!" She exclaimed which made her earn a lot of shushing. "Let's see, clover, four-leaf..."

She didn't bother reading it a loud after seeing it meaning. She remembered that Hao said something about the message of the flower she gave him. As if in autopilot, her eyes roamed to. The word clover, white. Again, a blush filled her face. It looks like she needs to clarify something to Hao.


~~Hao's Base Camp~~


"Hao-sama!" The owner of the name perked up and smiled as soon as he saw the owner of the voice.

"Ah, Fumiko-chan!"

"Hao-sama, I think there's a misunderstanding here..." She gasped for breath as soon as she reached the fire shaman.

"So you actually don't want me thinking of you? It's all just me?" He asked.

He appeared to have that stoic face but Fumiko had known him long enough to see that he's actually dejected. She shook her head and made him face her.

"I didn't say that." She clarified.

"What are you saying then?"

"Well, I didn't give you the flower to give you that kind of message. It's just pretty and it smells good so I thought you might like it. In fact, I had no any idea it means that until a few minutes ago." She explained as nice as possible.

"And here I thought you-"

"But... I'm really happy it turned out this way." The blue-eyed girl continued. "Hao-sama, this time," she pulled out another white clover and hand it to him. "Do its meaning..."

Hao smiled and ruffled her hair, accepting the white clover. He did the same thing to this flower from the previous one he received. He fumbled his pockets and hand over another four-leaf clover.

"Accept it?"

"Yes, of course." She smiled and placed it in her hoodie's pocket. "I'm yours."
