DISCLAMER: Strawberry does not own shaman king or anything!

What's up with children these days

Summary: Yoh, Hao, and Manta were asked to take care of two boys…and well…things kinda get messy when one of the boys decides to play hide and seek with the group…

Disclaimer: I do not own shaman king…

Introduction

It has already been a year since the shaman tournament ended. Yoh won and is now the Shaman King, and over the months…well, he kinda developed a "Hao-ish" attitude, and on the other hand, Hao became good and developed a "Yoh-ish" attitude. And Manta you ask? Well, he grew more taller and became more stiffer like Ren, he began to act like that ever since Yohmei decided to train him in Izumo for 6 months. Yoh already finished his 9 months training and initiation in Patch Village as shaman king so he was already allowed to home. And he was so surprised to see Hao working as a house boy in their hotel thingy. And of course ever since then the three of them became "closest" of friends…I'm not sure if Manta treats Hao as a "friend" rather that a "slave" though…

Chapter one: Let's play Hide n' seek!

(Written in script form)

Narrator (unknown until further notice, though he wears a familiar samurai outfit but can't see his face cause he wears a big hat thingy and a mask with the sign on it's forehead "I'm not Amidamaru!): One day Yoh, Hao, and Manta were asked to take care of the house while Anna's away. So they were left alone. But Keiko came and asked them to take care of their two cousins Pico and Pocu. They are twin brothers and are so cute! So without waiting for their approval Keiko immediately left the house leaving Yoh, Hao, and Manta alone with two cute little devils.

Yoh: (Looks at the two cute boys) so what do you guys plan to do to them?

Hao: What do you mean by "plan to do to them?" we have to take care of them! (big grin) Well, that's what our mother said…

Yoh: oh…-- (glares at the two little boys)

Pico and Pocu: (gets scared)

Hao:. Yoh, could you fix some snacks for them.(smiles)

Yoh: sure (walks away)

Pico: He's scary

Pocu: are all Shaman kings like that Big brother Hao?

Hao: (grins) no, he's just in a bad mood…Manta could you take their things to their rooms pls…

Manta: (stares blankly into space for a moment, picks up the two backpacks and walks away)

Hao: (sweat drops) he's too stiff….

Pico and Pocu: WOW! What a big place! (runs all over the place)

Hao: hey wait up! (runs after them)

(A minute later)

(At Pico and Pocu's room)

Manta: (Puts the backpacks on top of the table)

Mosuke: (pops out of nowhere) Wow those two are so cute don't you think so master?

Manta: Yeah they remind me of Yoh and Hao when they were little.

Mosuke: Huh? But master you never saw those two when they were little right? You only met Yoh-dono a year and a half ago right?

Manta: (steps out of the room) I saw Yoh's picture when he was little in Yohmei's room. And I also saw Hao's picture when he was little in his room when I was asked to clean it.

(grins)

Mosuke: Oh…--

Manta: You know something Mosuke (turns to Mosuke)

Mosuke: What is it Master Manta?

Manta: (room darkens) I can feel negative energy dwelling amongst those two children (scary face)

Mosuke: wha-what do you mean Master?

Manta: (Scary face) I can also sense a storm making it's way here…

Mosuke: (sweat drops) M-master….you're scaring me…. .

Manta: Let's go (climbs down the stairs)

Mosuke: Wait up Master!

(At the Funbari Onsen Backyard)

Pico: yeeeyy! Wow! This place is so big!

Pocu: you are right! (looks around with amusement)

Hao: (runs after the two tiredly) Hey! Pls don't run around like that you might hurt yourselves!

Pico and Pocu: (both abruptly stops) okay Big brother Hao! (Big grin)

Hao: (sighs) good boys!

Yoh: (steps in) Foods ready

Hao: good! (grins at Yoh) Okay kids let's all have a bite to eat before we go play outside!

Pico and Pocu: Okay! (dashes to the kitchen)

(at the kitchen)

Yoh: stupid little things (eyes the two little cuties with great disgust)

Pico and Pocu: (munches on their sandwiches )

Hao: ehehehe….(sweat drops) Don't be mean little bro….

Yoh: shut up, these two better not break any single thing in the house or I'll burn the damn things to a crisp! You got that…(glares scarily at the fire shaman who's face turned pale from fright)

Hao: ehehehe… He's scary…I wonder what happened to him…? He used to be a cheerful, laid back, and lazy kind of guy…

Manta: ---cuts in--- He just got pissed off from all that training he had gone trough in patch village.

Hao: really…I feel sorry for him

Manta: He kinda reminds me of a certain shaman I used to know who's ambition is to destroy all humans and create a shamans only world…hmm…(stare blankly into space)

Hao: (thinks hard) hmm…I wonder who that guy is…That guy must be a very very stupid one….creating a world full of shamans? Destroy all humans? Ha-ha! Now I'd like to see that guy sometime! (laughs his head off)

Manta: (face darkens) Idiot, you're the one I'm talking about you moron….

(an hour later)

Yoh: You bastards! Can't you noisy idiots play somewhere else. (Several irritation marks marked on his head)

Pico and Pocu: (Jumps around Yoh's Bed) But Yoh-niichan we want to play with you! (giggles and laughs )

Yoh: (lots of irritation marks on his face) You….

Manta: (enters room looking a bit worn down) Pico and Pocu-san pls don't disturb Yoh-kun. He's busy right now.

Pocu: But Manta-nichan! We wanna play with him!

Manta: I'm sorry, but you guys can play with him later, Right now he's busy .ok?

Pocu and Pico:(climbs down on the bed looking a bit sad) Ok Manta-nichan

Manta: Good, let's all go down and let Yoh-kun do his work.

Pico and Pocu: yeah (steps out of Yoh's room and dashes down stairs )

Manta: (sighs) Sorry about that turns to Yoh

Yoh: Its alright…but those damn children are getting a bit annoying…(sits on his bed)

Manta: Maybe a little…well, see ya later then.(steps out of the room)

Yoh: those damn children are starting to get on my nerves….(Evil Hao-ish smirk) but I can fix that…

(At the kitchen)

Hao: You guys shouldn't disturb Yoh-kun like that! (looks at the two)

Pico and Pocu: But all he does is sleep and glares at us! We want him to be happy and play with us . (stubborn faces) We're sorry Hao-Nichan!

Hao: (pats the two boys on the head and smiles) Alright, but you guys have to promise me not to do that kind of thing again, okay?

Pico and Pocu: hai!

Manta: (I-suddenly-sense-trouble-or-something look on his face) I feel strong furyoku…

Hao, Pico, and Pocu: (turns to Manta) huh?

Manta: (looks down) nothing…

Manta (thinking): I can feel it alright… that guy….what the hell is he planning to do to those kids…

Hao: Let's all go out side to play!

Pico and Pocu: (gets excited) yeeeey!

Manta(thinking): Bad idea…I must make sure they won't be harm in any way…and make sure that that idiotic Hao won't know about it…

Hao: hey Manta-kun what are you waiting for? Let's go! (waves at Manta from the window)

Manta: sure!

Mosuke: (pops out) Manta-sama…daijoubu ka?

Manta: Yeah…I just felt something wrong…

Mosuke: (looks confused) huh?

Manta: aright let's go now, Hao and the kids are waiting for us outside…(jumps out the window)

Mosuke: (turns pale) Manta-sama! Be careful!

(outside)

Manta: (jumps out from the window) yo! (raises hand to Hao)

Hao: (gets surprised by Manta's suddenly appearing behind him and jumps out) Ahhh! You surprised me Manta-kun! You almost gave me a heart attack!

Manta: So, where are the two kids?

Hao: somewhere…out there…. Actually we're playing hide and seek! (smiles) and They told me You and I are the "it's"!

Manta (thinking): (eyes widen in shock) Oh no! if those kids were to be alone he might….this is bad! I must act quickly.

( somewhere on top of the roof of Funbari Onsen)

Yoh: (smirks like Hao) Hehe…(raises his hand over his mouth while holding two talismans with the character "devil" written on it) Looks like this game might get exciting…(recites spell)

Narrator: Suddenly, the two talismans burst into flames…

Yoh: But I must be careful…there's a chance "He" might ruin the game…(eyes on Manta from above the roof)

(back down)

Manta (thinking): (I-suddenly-sense-trouble-or-something look on his face again) Some one's watching us…but who?... could he be…

Hao: Hey what's up Manta? Let's go look for them! (turns to Manta)

Narrator: Suddenly, Manta sees ghost thingy's flying rapidly into the air…

Manta(thinking): (looks up) Yes! I can't be wrong! (eyes narrow) He's made his move!
