"Ow!" a boy yelp when he get hit by an elderly man who have half-bald hair, "That's hurt, Jii-chan (Grandfather)!".
"That's because you are so slow, how come you are not able to summon even a small leaf shikigami?" the old man ask in anger.
"Stop it, Yohmei." an elderly woman with a cane scold the old man, "You will only make him stupid if you hit him everyday".
"But, Kino." Yohmei protested, "It's already 2 years since he start training".
"Just be patient, Yoh is still 5, if Keiko know that you hit him, I don't know what she would do." Kino hit Yohmei back with her cane, "She is scary when she is angry".
Yohmei grumble and step away after told Yoh to train harder. Yoh look up to Kino, "Baa-chan (Grandmother), why is it that Jii-chan want me to get strong?" he ask with teary eyes, "I want to play like normal child".
Kino sigh, "Yoh, we are family of Shaman, we can't become like normal human. You have to continue the line of our family, to make a strong heir need a strong power, so you have to be strong, Yoh." she explained carefully, "Just continue your training, okay?".
"Hai (yes)." Yoh said in defeat and start training again.
His grandmother smile and rub his head, "That's a good boy." she said and leave.
As soon as his grandmother out of sight, he stop training and run into the forest. Yoh run to the lake he usually come when he is upset, then he jump into the water.
He can swim even if he is a child, thanks to his grandfather stubborn personality that wants him to be able to do many things.
He out of the water and yelled, "Stupid!". He coughs right away, it's indeed stupid to swim in autumn, the water is cold already.
He look at his reflection on the water, "You are really stupid, Yoh." he scold himself, "Why can't you say clearly that you don't want to training everyday? That you want to play like other kid?".
He flopped down to the grass, he watch the cloud to calm himself, usually it would calm him down. And true, not long after that, he fell asleep.
When Yoh awake from his slumber, the sky is dark and the stars is appear. Yoh stand up abruptly, "Oh, no! Jii-chan will hit me again!" he yelled and run frantically to his house.
His run slow down to a stop when a small light in far away caught his attention, it's not a light from a firefly, not from lamp too. What is it? He thought curiously, he want to get closer to the light, but the thought if his grandfather his his head make him ignore the light and run toward his home.
"Ow!" Yoh get hit by Yohmei as he predicted, "Uh, I'm sorry, Jii-chan, I won't skip training anymore".
"Better you do it, or else I will hit you again." Yohmei grumble and walk away.
Yoh rub his head, he got a bump as big as an egg on the top of his head. Yoh pout and walk to his room, "Jii-chan is a meanie, how can you hit a five year old kid so hard?" he muttered to himself.
He lay on his futon and watch the stars, "They are beautiful, I wonder is the light I see today is like a star in the sky." he said with amusement in his voice.
He then look around his room, it's always make his heart clench, he don't know why though, and even if he ask someone, he only got yelled by his grandfather about daydreaming. He always think that there's something lack from him, but he only can think for one thing, companion. He is so lonely and want someone to be there with him, someone who will be with him when he is upset, sad, and lonely.
Yoh look up to the stars again, can you give me someone who will love me and be with me? With me here when I lonely and sad or upset, and someone who I can share my happiness with, Yoh's longing thought accompany him to his slumber.
Yoh wake up reluctantly when the morning come, he had a dream about playing with many children with the same age as him. The 5 years old boy sigh, he really lonely, he had no friends and his family often go out, leaving him alone.
"Yoh." Yohmei, his grandfather come in and face Yoh, "Get up, I, your grandmother and parents will go out again, you have to stay here and watch the house".
Talk about the devil and it's sure come, "Yes, Jii-chan!" Yoh said with a fake smile and get up quickly, he get dressed and run to the front door.
"Good morning, Yoh." A long haired woman greet him.
"Good morning, Kaa-chan (Mother)." Yoh greet back, his mother smile and rub his hair fondly, Yoh smile back, "Be careful on the way!".
"We are going." His mother said and then leave with the rest.
Yoh's smile died right away and his face turn into a pout, "Always leave me alone." He grumble and walk away from the house into the backyard, he lay down and watch the clouds, "I really wish I can have someone that would be always there for me".
He ignore the order to watch the house and walk to the forest instead, that's when he heard a soft giggle. Curious, Yoh follow the voice to the deeper part of the forest. He walk and walk, then, he found a small orb of light like the one he saw the night before.
The light move in circle and then to Yoh, the light giggle surprised Yoh then, like a normal 5 years old child, he look at the orb of light curiously. Yoh notices that the orb of light has a pair of wings and a tiny human shape body, "Woah, a fairy! You look like a fairy in the story books!" Yoh exclaimed happily.
The fairy giggle and move to even deeper part of the forest, Yoh followed in excitement, he run after the fairy to an old house. Yoh look at the fairy questioningly, then the fairy went into the house. Yoh open the house's door curiously.
He gasped in surprise, "This house is beautiful." He said in awe-struck.
The house is like any other house, have kitchen, a small room to sleep, a small bathroom, the different is the house is has many flowers and the colour is make you relax and calm when you see them.
"You like the house?" Yoh look at the fairy with open mouth, he don't know that the fairy can speak. Yoh only nod his head as an answer, "This house will be yours, a gift from me".
Yoh look around the house again, "Really?!" he exclaimed in excitement and happiness, "This will be my house?!'.
"Yes." The fairy answer, "The owner before already passed away long ago, I want you to have it and help me take care of this house".
Yoh nod his head vigorously, "Yes, yes, I will!" he said happily.
"Thank you, as a thank you, I will make one of your wish come true." The fairy giggle, "Now, tell me, what is it that you are wishing for?".
Yoh look at the fairy, "I don't know if you can make my wish come true." Yoh said with a sad smile, "But I wish to have a companion with the same age as me, a person who will always there for me, someone who love me no matter who I am, and a family who will not leave me all alone".
The fairy giggle, then a bright light shot to Yoh. Yoh yelped and closed his eyes shut, he feels his body get a bit strange and hot.
After the hot feeling disappear, he open his eyes and look with wide eye at a boy laying on the flore before him, the boy wear the same clothes as him and have the same face as him!
