Confrontations

Part One: Determination

By: KristiexxNguyen

Summary: "I will take her away from you, Yoh." "As long as I'm here, you won't." The battle may be over, but the war has just begun. It is no longer about who will become Shaman King, but who will win Kyouyama, Anna's heart. HaoxAnnaxYoh

Pairing: HaoAnnaYoh

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot. DO NOT SUE ME!


"You came," a boy with long, dark hair stated. The person he was addressing frowned.

"Not like I had a choice." A light chuckle came from the former.

"You're right."

It was a winter day and the temperature was below 0°C. Most normal people would be in their warm homes drinking hot chocolate, yet there were two figures standing in the park.

But then again, those two figures weren't exactly normal.

No, they were shamans, and shamans can see spirits. You wouldn't be classified as 'normal' if you could see spirits, now would you?

Anyways, these particular two were twins and rivals. They shared the same goal, looks (dark brown hair and eyes), and blood, but their motivations and personalities differ greatly. One wanted to destroy the human race, while the other just wanted an easy life. Both competed in the Shaman Fight to become the Shaman King. Things didn't turn out as expected and now the tournament was over. There are no more contests, so they should be able to get along now, right?

Wrong.

The tension between them increased immensely, especially now that there is something more important, more precious to them on the line.

A girl.

An itako.

Kyouyama, Anna.

"What do want Hao?" the younger of the two asked through gritted teeth. He had spiky hair and a pair of orange headphones on.

The older one chuckled again. "I'm sure you know exactly what I want, dear Otouto."

"Don't call me that. My name is Yoh."

"And don't you think I know that? How many times have I heard that undeniably attractive itako yell your name to go get the groceries?"

"Stop talking about Anna like that!"

"Why? Don't you agree?" The boy known as Yoh clenched his fists, but said nothing. Hao smirked. "Of course you do. Everyone thinks so. It's just that we're the only two who dares to approach her, to actually have feelings for her."

"Don't act like you care about her when you obviously don't! You talk about her like she's nothing more than a mere object! All you want is power and you think that she's the only one worthy enough to be your wife! You think that with her by your side, you would be invincible!"

"Okay, so maybe I don't care for her as much as you do, but with her, I will be unstoppable. The only person who is actually powerful enough to destroy me, is you. But if she's with me, you wouldn't even dare to attack in fear of harming her. Am I right?"

"She will never be yours," was all the latter said.

"Oh really? And is she yours?"

"She's my fiancée."

A sigh. "Tell me something I don't know. Besides, how do you know she won't break it off?"

"She promised."

"Promises are meant to be broken."

"Not this one." Hao raised an eyebrow.

"How can you be so sure?"

"Because, once Anna decides something, it is hard to change her mind."

"But it's not impossible."

"Maybe so, but she will never go with you on her own free will."

"With a little persuasion, I'm sure she would." Yoh glared at him.

"Do – not – touch – her."

"My apologies, but I can't guarantee you that I won't."

"Hao!" A sinister smirk formed on the older twin.

"I will take her away from you, Yoh." The younger one pulled at his sword and aimed it at his brother.

"As long as I'm here, you won't," he said, his voice determined. "I've triumphed against you before, and I will again."

Hao laughed amusingly, "Arrogance does not fit you Little Brother."

"Don't call me that!"

"Anyhow...I won't be making the same mistake again. Watch your back, Yoh; we will battle again, but not now. When we do though, I shall win and take her."

"Over my dead body."

"And that can be easily arranged. Cherish your time with her while you can. You may never know when she'll slip from your grasp and come to mine." With that said, he vanished. Yoh's grip on his sword only tightened.

"No matter what you do," he growled, knowing fully well that his twin could still hear him. "She will never be yours..."

A sinister chuckle filled the icy air. "Now that's where you're wrong...Kyouyama, Anna has always been mine..."


Hey everyone! This fic was reposted because decided to delete it because I had rate it improperly (not in my opinion anyways). So yeah...I'll be updating this fic each week, so basically two weeks from now, the third/last/Yona part will be out. Sorry for the inconvenience! Trust me, I'm pretty pissed off myself...Oh, and old readers, PLEASE REVIEW AGAIN! I want to do something when this trilogy finishes.

Original A/N:

Hey!

There are so many fics where Hao takes Anna without a warning or Yoh and Hao have a talk and it's either about the tournament or Anna (but they're on good terms). So I decided to write one where they are still enemies and both Hao and Yoh know fully well that they are 'competing' for Anna's heart. Also this is a three part fic. Anyways, PLEASE REVIEW!

KristiexxNguyen

P.S. Sorry for the shortness.

P.S.S. Also, sorry if Yoh seems really OOC. I saw the way he acts in front of Hao and he seems to kind of loose his cool.

P.S.S.S. Again, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REVIEW!
