LS7: Well this will be the first ever for me to write a Shaman King Fic…. Love it!

Hao: Great……!

LS7: Are you being sarcastic?

Hao: No kidding Sherlock!

LS7: Any who, a simple one shot that I decided to make using the following that I don't own: Yoh, Hao, the song Brother, my Brother, and Shaman King period!!!!!

Spoiler: Don't read of you never seen the last episode.

Summary: He never thought the day would come when he had to fight his own brother. Yoh only wished things were different. Told in Yoh's POV.

Never would I destroy someone I care for. I'm not talking of Anna or my other friends that I made along the way. I'm talking about a person that I shouldn't care for but I do. That person is Hao Asakura. My brother. My twin who wants to rid the world of weak people and only keep those worthy of his time. I knew we had to face off against each other ever since my father told me that he was my brother. I wish things were different. I wish that I didn't have to fight him but I do. I've tried to talk to him more than once. When we're by ourselves. When I see him, he looks so sad… it's in his eyes. That pain of loneliness, the pain of being unwanted is a feeling I know too well of. He tries to hide it when ever I look at him deeply in concern. But that's only a façade. We're more similar then different in a way. Both my brother and I know what it is like to be not wanted, to be considered a freak because of what you can do. The difference is, I learnt to accept what I am and because of that, I wasn't alone after that. But my brother seems to have this vendetta against the world. I assume something happened to him. I have a feeling. I feel bad for him and I want to help him and I tried God only knows I tried but so many things are riding on our fight. The fate of the world to be exact. I wish that Hao could see what I see. I wish that he could that are good people in this world. I wish that so many people would stop asking me how I feel about all of this. As I ready myself for the fight him and I, his eyes still read the same loneliness, the same angst. We're not all that different as people make us seem. Maybe it's because so many people considered Hao an evil person that they never got to know him. I seen him when he around Opacho. He treats him like a friend. He's nice to him, thoughtful, and considerate. Pretty much how I treated Manta when we first met three years ago. I know behind the mask is a scared little boy who just wants to be loved and give it back in return. I just don't understand why it has to be Hao and I. Why put two brothers against each other? I just don't know why us.

I only wish things were different. Really different.

LS7: This is just a little Christmas gift to all of you guys. I hope u all have a wonderful holiday!!!!!!!
