Hoshizora: The Starry Sky
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: I do not own Shaman King.
It was a peaceful night. A light breeze rustled the leaves of the surrounding bushes and trees. Pinpricks of stars peered down from the dark sky upon the earth, twinkling benignly.
A child sat within a clearing among the forestry, gazing at the warm fire blazing in front of him.
This boy looked to be around five or six years of age, with long dark hair flowing down to his elbows. Shorter bangs framed the round face. His stature was that of a child, but his sharp brown eyes told a different story. They bespoke of experiences and knowledge far older than any alive today.
A cloak decorated with large stars was wrapped about his lithe figure, hiding his clothes.
A frown was upon his face; he was lost in thought. I wonder how my other half's doing? The Asakura clan better be taking good care of him. Hmm, I wonder if 'that place' is still there? Perhaps...
Seemingly coming to a decision, he stood up and called to his loyal companion, the Spirit of Fire. Just then, he heard a voice from behind, and turned round.
"Hao-sama? Where are you going?"It was Blocken, who had lost most of his body in an incident; what remained was in a shell of what looked like lego bricks.
Hao smiled at the person who had been taking care of him since the birth of this incarnation.
"To look at the stars." With that, Hao moved to Spirit of Fire's side and gave a silent order.
