The Beginning

It was a fine day and the shaman fight was over. No one was declared as the shaman king and the great spirits are the ones watching over the whole world. Yoh walked along the fields of Patch Village (I don't know if there is one) while listening to his beloved headphones. He decided to join the others in the apartment later when he finished taking a nap. So he lied on the soft grass and it wasn't long before he dozed off and made his way towards dreamland where he saw the person he wasn't expecting…

Yoh's Dream

"Huh? Where am I???" said Yoh as he looked around, he saw nothing but darkness surrounding him and he was standing in the middle of nowhere.

"Nice to see you again Otouto." Greeted Hao as he stepped out of the darkness with his ever so graceful movement while smiling evilly.

Yoh became serious and distanced himself from the person who not only once had tried to gain the title of being shaman king and killed so many shamans. Finding him here is really unnatural since he defeated him already including the spirit of fire.

"Hao…" said Yoh seriously

"Hey, don't worry I won't fight you…" said Hao calmly

"Why are you here?" asked Yoh

"Well I just want to see you!" said Hao then he smiled when he saw Yoh's face as if telling him that he's lying…

"I repeat Hao, why are you here?" asked Yoh impatiently

"You're more intelligent and responsible now little brother, fine I'll tell you…I'll have my revenge." Said Hao plainly

"Whatever it is stop it already Hao. You won't win." Said Yoh seriously

"I know Yoh. But I'm sure you won't miss losing the most important person in you're entire life whom you've always ignored…" said Hao while chuckling evilly as the blinding light devoured Yoh and he woke up sweating and breathing heavily.

"Master Yoh? Are you alright?" asked Amidamaru who appeared beside him with a worried look on his face

"Yeah…I'm alright, I just had a bad dream but I'm okay!" said Yoh as he grinned happily back at his friend

"It's been a while since we were fighting but now everything is so peaceful, I'm glad that everything is alright now." Said Amidamaru

"Yeah I'm glad that everything is back to normal." Said Yoh

"Master Yoh I think we should head back to the apartment they might get worried." Said Amidamaru

"Good idea. I don't want to be punished now." Said Yoh as they walked back to the apartment

Yoh's POV

"I wonder if that dream is true…"

"What is Hao up to this time?"

"How did he survive?"

"Who is the person he is talking about?"

Yoh shrugged and resumed thinking about his dream while walking. He has so many questions in his mind but no one can answer it yet. He just has to wait for it and when it comes he must find a way to fight him and stop his revenge.

"So far I don't think I know anyone that I choose to ignore."

Yoh didn't know that he was being watched by Hao from a nearby tree with a grin appearing on his face. Hao watched Yoh enter the apartment.

"Don't worry Otouto I'll begin everything soon enough…"

"And I'll make sure I will make you suffer, if not physically…I'll make somebody else suffer…someone important for you…" whispered Hao then he stood up and jumped backwards as he disappeared in the wind.

Meanwhile in the Apartment

"Hey where's Yoh?" asked Ren

"Yeah I haven't seen him yet! Yoh?! Are you here?!?!" asked Chocolove

"Hey Master Yoh can take care of himself!" assured Ryu

"But I wonder where he is…" said Faust

"He's probably dozing off somewhere again…it's like he can't live without doing that everyday." Said Anna as she sat on the sofa

"Hi guys!" greeted Yoh happily

"Where were you?" asked Anna sharply

"Just took a nap outside," said Yoh

"Can't you stop doing that even once?" asked Anna

Yoh just smiled at them then he looked around and noticed that Horo wasn't there.

"Hey guys where's Horo?" asked Yoh

"Maybe he's just eating all the food at Patch Donald's" said Ryu

"That's odd…I know that Patch Donald's is closed because Silva and the other guardians are having meeting on how to gain more money." Said Tamao

"Then where is he?" asked Pirica

It wasn't long when they heard a large banging of the door and Horo entered the room looking quite dazed as if he's on a trance.

"Hey Horo what happened to you?" asked Ren

Then Horo pointed his oversoul on them and began to shoot sharp ice on every direction. The gang evaded it easily and Anna released her shikigamis to attack Horo. Horo fell flat on the floor and lost consciousness after the shikigamis attacked him. Yoh and the others ran to Horo and sighed in relief when they found out that he just lost consciousness. Yoh looked at Anna and walked towards her angrily.

"Why did you do that?! You didn't have to do it so hard!" shouted Yoh

Everyone looked at Yoh and Anna, they are quite surprised to hear Yoh shout at Anna, the normal scene was Anna shouting at Yoh. Anna was quite shocked herself but she managed to control herself and answer coolly.

"Why…I just helped your "friend" in there, you're welcome" said Anna

"But you shouldn't have done it so hard! You might've killed him!!! You know, you can just walk out of our lives and I assure you that we will greatly appreciate it!" shouted Yoh then he turned towards the others

"Take him to the hospital." Said Yoh

The others immediately obeyed and so it's just Yoh and Anna left in the room. Neither of them talked then Yoh turned towards the door.

"I'm going outside." Said Yoh as he walked out leaving Anna behind.

Anna was furious but she cannot get angry with Yoh, even though those words just ripped her heart apart. She wanted to cry but desperately held back the tears. She didn't know that Yoh wanted that to happen…she didn't know that Yoh wanted her to just walk out of his life. Anna smiled bitterly as she made her way towards the small bag that she's carrying.

"If that's what you want Yoh…so be it." Said Anna as she quietly left the room.

Yoh's POV

"Why did I shout at her like that?"

"Everything just started to rumble and I shouted at her when…"

"When she just wanted to help Horo…"

"Geezzz I'm so stupid! Now what am I gonna do???"

"I know! I'll apologize."

"This is not easy but I'll do it! Hurting her is…the last thing I wanted to do…"

Then Yoh turned to walk back at the apartment. It was a long walk but Yoh made it. Just when he was about to enter the apartment he saw Tamao running towards him.

"Master Yoh! Are you and Miss Anna okay already?" asked Tamao

"I was going to apologize to her now." Said Yoh

"That's good Master Yoh and I just wanted to tell you that Horo is okay now. It's like he wants to eat all the food in the hospital because it's paid already." Said Tamao

They sat for a while not knowing that Anna was watching them from behind the building. Anna saw Yoh laugh with Tamao, it breaks her heart because she was supposed to be the one who makes him smile but that's impossible now. She held back the tears again and her throat was tightening.

"I guess you'll be alright without me Yoh…in fact I think it will be for the better." Whispered Anna then she walked away quietly not being sensed or seen by Yoh or Tamao.

"Good luck Master Yoh! I'll go back to the hospital my baby will miss me." Said Tamao as she ran back to the direction of the hospital.

Yoh breathe in and entered the apartment then went in the room where he last left Anna. It hurts him whenever he remembered how she looked when he left her there all alone. He opened the door and took his eyes away from the floor and looked straight. But he saw no Anna. He went to the other rooms but still no sign of her. He sat on Anna's bed tears silently dropping from his eyes.

"Anna…I'm sorry…"

"Where are you Anna???"

Then he stood up and ran downstairs. He was shouting Anna's name expecting to hear a reply but no one answered. Hao watched him amusement evident on his face.

"I'm only beginning little brother. Better expect more." Said Hao as he disappeared once again leaving Yoh alone sitting on the grass looking off to nowhere, there are tear stains on his face and he was tired.

"I'm sorry Anna…please come back…" he whispered
