This story takes place when Yoh is a bit younger. Hao and Yoh were not separated at birth, but are instead living together. Hao still bears a grudge against humans, and when he finds out about what they did to Yoh things don't get any better.

Just so you know... 'thoughts', flashbacks, "words" Read and Review!
Yoh ran in through his bedroom door, and threw down his book bag. He dropped down on his bed, face in his pillow, sobbing uncontrollably. 'Why me?' he thought.
Flash back- earlier that day
Yoh was alone. He had always been alone, at least at school. At home he felt accepted, happy, but here… Yoh was at one side of the play ground, the rest of the children were on the other side. Yoh gently swayed on his swing, staring at the ground. It had been this way for as long as he could remember. Yoh stayed on his side of the playground and the other children stayed on theirs.
Yoh knew why the other children were afraid of him, hated him even, but there was nothing that he could do about it. He was who he was. He was a shaman. His family always said to be proud of being a shaman, it meant that he could see and do things that humans couldn't. Yoh came from a long line of great shamans. Everyone was a great shaman… Everyone but Yoh. Yoh tried hard to be a good shaman, but he just wasn't good at it. He couldn't even summon a leaf sprite. Yoh wasn't even sure he wanted to be a shaman. That's why the rest of the kids hated him. There weren't too many shamans around any more. People fear what they do not know. The rest of the town feared and hated the Asakuras. The parents told their children that the Asakuras were demons in disguise, and that Yoh was a demon child. "But I'm not a demon child…" Yoh said silently to himself as he swayed gently on his swing. He thought of getting up and walking toward some of the girls playing tag, it looked like fun. He stood up and started walking toward the other side of the playground. He got about half way there when he noticed the look on the boys faces. They were glaring at him. Yoh looked away and kept walking, determined to get out of his little corner. That's when one of the girls started crying, and some of the boys started toward him.
"What do you think you're doing?" One of the boys hissed.
"Get back there Asakura! Nobody wants you here!" One of the boys shoved Yoh back onto his side.
"But I want to play-" Yoh said trying to defend himself.
"Well nobody wants to play with you, you freak!" The boy gave Yoh a big shove and he fell down on his bottom. With that the boys walked away, laughing cruelly. Yoh started to sob and walked back toward his swing.
End of Flash back
Yoh shoved his face deeper into his pillow, trying to silent his sobbing. He didn't even notice that his brother, Hao, walked into the room. "Yoh." Hao said as he nudged Yoh's shaking body, "What's wrong?"
Yoh looked up, his eyes red, and cheeks streaked with tears. "I'm a freak!" Yoh said in between sobs.
"No, you are not. Now Yoh, this is very important, tell me who called you that." Hao said. For a moment Yoh was scared. Hao looked almost mad. Yoh was contemplating whether to tell Hao or not. He knew that Hao disliked the humans already, and he didn't want to feed the flame of hatred. Hao grabbed Yoh's arm, "Yoh, tell me. Now."
Yoh nodded. "The kids at school. They think that I'm a weirdo." With that he began to sob again. Hao tried to calm Yoh down, but Yoh was pretty upset. Even though they were the same age, sometimes Hao acted like he was a lot older than Yoh. Yoh just let out all of his tears as he let Hao comfort him. After Yoh told him what had happened at the playground. Hao stormed out of the room angrily. Yoh was tired, and eventually just cried himself to sleep.
