To Change a Dream

Chapter 1: You are talking to the future king Hao

REN´S POV

I get up at 5 am in the morning and hurry to dress up. I´m actually getting excited about all this. Today is the day we start the second challenge of the Tournament. I agreed with Mariana to go to her place, from where we´ll go to the place the priests asked us to meet, Yokocha American Air Base.

It´s freezing outside so I put on a blue coat and a yellow scarf. Mariana said to go to her house at 9, but of course I´m going early to wake her up. Can´t trust her to wake up on her own.

Since we always stay in my house, this will be the first time I´ll see hers. I get there at 7. It´s a pretty small house, but that´s ok as she´s the only one living there. It looks comfy, I get a very warm feeling about it.

Wasting no time, I get in to look for Mariana. I find myself in the kitchen, from where I can hear her singing, it´s coming from the next room. I get close to the door silently to listen. She´s also playing a guitar. The song starts slow.

From a forgotten and lonely place
He lies alone in his jail, in hell itself

What is troubling your hearing?
Can´t you even listen?
The bird sings until his decease
It´s an endless melody

Like those luxurious things in your residence
That will never fill your emptiness

What an irony it must be
Having been born with wings
And watch the sky from there
It´s a cruel torment

Now, the rhythm goes faster.

There´s a spike incrusted deep in my self
In my left side where my hope stays
It only hurts when I laugh like telling me
We´ll never be free until so is he

It´s slows down again.

What makes us believe we are so important?
As if the human race is the only thing essential

A capricious selfishness
To justify ourselves
The suffering of a poor animal
And all of his pain

And now it´s fast and loud

There´s a spike incrusted deep in my self
In my left side where my hope stays
It only hurts when I laugh like telling me
We´ll never be free until so is he

A bit more of guitar and the song finishes. Wow! That was very good! She´s great at singing. And playing the guitar as well. I stay stunned there for a moment, but quickly get back to my senses.

I knock the door, open it and enter a small room. She turns around in the chair she´s sited in, alarmed.

"Oh, Jesus, you scared the shit out of me, Ren!" She complains.

"That was the idea" I smirk "Hey, what were you singing?"

"You heard me, huh?" She looks away "A song I….er…. composed just yesterday. Well, at least the chords, the lyrics have been on my mind for some time" She seems a bit uncomfortable about having been overheard.

"Well, it´s not bad" I say nonchalantly "I like the lyric"

"You do?" She smiles and her whole face lights up "Thanks" She grins widely. Then looks at her watch "Hey, what are you doing here so early?"

"I thought you were going to oversleep so I came to make sure that didn't happen" I admit "But you proved me wrong, you can get up early"

"´Course I can" She says faking haughtiness.

"Right" I say sceptically. Noticing she once again is buried under what looks like 3 sweaters and a coat, I observe "If you have that much clothing inside the house, I´m expectant to see what you are going to wear when we leave"

She shrugs and gets up "Let's have breakfast"

(2 hours later)

We reach the place of reunion. It´s already full of people. Eventually, we find Yoh, Horohoro and Ryu. We go and sit down to wait for the patch plane. As we are talking a stranger approaches.

"Just a bunch of kids" He comments haughtily.

"Are you trying to pick a fight?" Horohoro stands up.

With an enormous furyoku, the stranger attacks Horohoro, who is thrown forcefully several meters back and hits the floor with a painful thud.

"Horo!!" Mariana screams and runs to the guy. Fuck! Who is this guy?

"That´s what I call picking a fight" The unknown boy says lightly "Choose your words carefully when you are talking to the future king, Hao"

I smirk "What a pretentious guy" I take a fighting stance "You are no king! Because you´re gonna die here!!" I try to strike but he easily avoids it. Shit! How did he do that?!

"Such a small temper, Ren" That idiot Hao smiles "Are you angry because your friend got hit?"

I scowl at him, but he continues "You should know that as a king I know everything" Then he turns to Yoh "You are going to become my lackey, therefore you must win every fight for me, the future king"

At that instant, what appears to be his group calls him and he leaves. Damn that guy, where did he come from? Is his furyoku really that big? I can´t believe we couldn't do anything against him. We should better watch out for him and his followers in the future.

"Ren" Mariana walks towards me "Are you ok? He didn't do anything to you, did he?"

"No, I´m fine" I sigh "Lets go. The plane is going to be ready any minute now"
