Chapter 1

A/N: Hi! This is my second attempt to write a fanfic today. I hope you guys would like this.

Disclaimer:I don't own Shaman King!

Dawn breaks over the woods near the patch village. There are some who prefers to camp in the woods than rent a room at the village. "Hao-sama..." the child muttered then stared at Hao. "Yes, Opacho?" he answered back while smiling at the child. "Opacho...hungry."

"Ah, I guess it's time to eat breakfast." Hao said as he stood up from the ground then looked at his followers who are still asleep. Then he turned his gaze to Opacho, walk past him and said "Let's go." Opacho stared at him and followed.

Meanwhile somewhere near Hao and his follower's camping site... "Ugh, I'm so hungry." the girl said in an angry voice. Where am I anyway? I don't remember sleeping in the woods. She thought. The girl was 5 ft tall with long straight black hair and hazel brown eyes. Her clothes are torn and dirty. The girl continued walked for a long time that seemed like hours until she come across a campfire. There are people sleeping... she thought as she approached them.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?"

"Ahhhh! Y-you startled me!" the girl exclaimed as she turned to where the voice came from.

Then she saw a child and a boy who's standing behind the child.

"Opacho asked you a question.. why aren't you answering?" Opacho said a little sad.

"Uhm.. I- My name is Ayazami Michiko I'm lost and was wondering in the woods then after a long time walking I got here." she manage to say. She couldn't help but stare at the boy behind the child in front of her...he's unlike any other boy Michiko has seen she couldn't point it out but there's something about him that...her thoughts were inturupted when the little girl spoke.

"Michiko...that's a pretty name." Opacho said and gave her a smile.

"You're hungry aren't you? Why don't you come and join us for breakfast?" Hao said as he motioned her to sit down in a nearby log.

"Uhm.. Thank you." Michiko muttered. Hmm.. I don't know him but I'm really hungry and this is a very good opportunity to pass up.she thought to herself as she sat down.

Hao sat down and stared at the girl sitting beside him. This girl... she's human but I can't read her thought and her heart. "Hao-sama won't we wait for the others to wake up?" Opacho said as she tugged on Hao's poncho which broke Hao's train of thoughts. "Ah, no. You're hungry right? So it's okay to eat on ahead." he said and gave the girl a smile. Opacho then Started to munch on the food. "You may also eat." Hao said to Michiko as he gave her an apple. "Thank you very much." she muttered and took the apple.

"So Michiko was it? What are you doing in the woods and alone?" Hao asked and looked at Michiko.

"Hm.. Honestly I don't know the only thing I know is that last night I was at my room but when I wake up I'm already here." she manage to say between her bites at the apple.

"I see.. so you don't know how you ended up here. Interesting."he said.

Just then Hao's follower's stirred and slowly opened their eyes. "Hmm.." Mari said as she got up.

"Kanna, wake up!" Matti said as she stood up. "Ugh! My back hurts." Kanna groaned as she stood up.

The other follower's stood up as well. Michiko can't help but stare at them. Matti looked around the camp and saw Michiko. "Waaahh! A human! What's a human doing here?!" she shouted then looked at Hao. Hao just smiled at his follower. "She's a guest. Now why don't you all get something to eat, you must be hungry."he said and gestured them to go. They all obeyed Hao and went there own ways to find food.

"Human, the way she said that...? Aren't you guys human?" Michiko said as she looked at Hao searching his eyes for answers.

"No. We're not. We are shamans." he said without even looking at her.

"Shamans? As in those who interact with spirits?" she asked.

"Yes. Somewhat like that." he answered.

"I see.. Why did your friend sounded so angry and surprised at the same time when she saw I was human?" she asked.

"She had an unpleasant past involving humans. " he said.

" Are all of your friends the same as her?"she asked.

Hao was surprised it seems she can easily catch on things. Hmm.. I still don't know why I can't read her thoughts. he thought to himself. "Hmm, enough about us. Why don't you tell us something about yourself?" he asked. Michiko was taken aback, He didn't answer my question.. well whatever he fed me, so the least I can do is answer his questions she thought. "Well' I'm not really into talking to people unless I need to, I'm the introvert type kind of person." she said. That still doesn't tell me why I can't read your thoughts. Hao thought to himself "And? Continue." he said. "There's nothing really much to tell. My life is boring." she answered.

Hao and Michiko talked for hours they've even forgotten about Opacho who was just right there beside them. Interesting, I'll just keep her with me until I figure out what to do with her. Hao thought "You can stick with us if you want, until you figure out how to go home." he said. Hmm, I have a feeling that this guy is dangerous, but who cares might as well go with the flow. She thought "Okay I'll stick with you guys for now, and thanks for the food."she said and gave Hao a smile.

A/N: I'll leave it at that for now. What do you guys think? Michiko is obviously an OC but don't worry I assure you that she will be very different from any other OCs that has been paired to Hao.

Review please! Thank You! ^^
