Part I. Chun tian

Pathethic. Blind. Pitiful. That's love in my opinion. Love is weak. I don't need it. That was what I thought before I met her. Funny. Even I, Hao, the man who was hated by most people in the world was once in love and loved.

Chun tian was her name. Though that name has never left my lips for a long time, the memories of her are still clear in my mind. The day I first met her, my dear raven hair angel.

Hundred years ago. A daiongmyouji, I was. That visit to China is very memorable since there was a wicked storm. It rained so heavily that we couldn't continue the trip, so we seeked for the nearest place to rest. A daiongmyouji, I was. That title made it so easy for a simple human to let me and my crew in his house.

Very late of that night, I was out for the star gazing. The sky was so clear in this country. And then I heard a sound of a Chinese instrument. I don't know what it was called but I can tell that it was a Chinese Harp. That song...every single note...so deep and mournful but it was a beautiful song in a way. Yet, the beauty of the song wasn't any compared to its caster. Chun tian.

Her long silky raven hair, her pale skin, her beautiful face, her sweet voice, I love everything that was her. But what I love most was her eyes. She had the eyes with the colour of sunlight. Bright golden orbs danced as she looked this way and that. Oh, how I love those eyes. She was proud but she never smiled. Gloomy and quiet, I should describe her.

She had never smile. Not until the last moment she breathed. She died in my arms. Pain struck my heart and I was about to cry. Yet, I didn't. I remembered her word: "Hao, I love you." No. I didn't want to let her go that easy when I knew I was loved back. I have power, power that any being would cower before me and beg. Yet, I couldn't save the one I loved. Why? I cursed myself, cursed the world. "Chun tian..." My voice sounded strange to me. It quivered. She took my hands with her smaller ones and smiled at me. It was a real smile, bright and...happy? I didn't think so. Maybe she had made up her mind and was ready to go. "Goodbye," she said. I shook my head vehemenly. No! I wanted to yell but she stopped me with a kiss. I can sense her life and energy were drifting away. Her lips was cold. And with her last breath and that smile, "We'll meet again." she promised and closed her eyes--her brillant golden eyes that I loved so much. It would never opened again. She was gone. Gone forever.

We'll meet again. She had said. But...is that true? How could she be sure that she can keep her promise? That she will come back to me? No. No one can tell. Even I, the most powerful shaman in the world. So love has becomed pathetic, blind and pitiful to me again. I am my old self once again. I am the heartless Hao, who now like nothing but to annoy my twin brother.

Yoh, my twin brother also joins the shaman fight. Fool. How does he think he could win? He and his friends... yes, he has friends. That makes him different from me. He has friends but I have comrades. Just comrades, not friends. He has his fiance. Me? No. I'm not jealous. I want no one but Chun tian. Oh look! She slaps him! Hahaha! Funny.

I laugh so much that I fall from my perching on the tree. They will find me. Why fear? I am much stronger than all of them. A confident smile touch my lips as I look up to see who the first one finding me is. And I was stunned...for a while. Those golden eyes... "Chun tian."

Owari!

Note: Ahahaha! How's it? Rather short, ne? We'll have the yaoi part in the next chapter and maybe I can make it longer. ^^; Please REVIEW!
