Note: Attention, people!! (Not that you'd care or anything,) In the story, Hao's Comrades left (well, not exactly) Hao, except for Opacho. I was too lazy to put him in the last chapter… And thank you all for your reviews!! :)

Ch.2 Confrontation/The stars sure are gorgeous tonight… I wonder if Yoh's looking at the same stars. / Hao was sitting in the graveyard, stargazing, with a little girl on his lap. He was near Yoh, all right, but he was afraid to meet him.
/Now that I think about it, maybe, meeting Yoh is a bad thing. His friends do despise me, so if we become closer, they might start hating him, too. I want Yoh to be happy, not sad. My mind is filled with desire to see Yoh, but that's bad for him. Now what am I supposed to do?!/ Then, Opacho interrupted his thoughts.
"Hao-sama, Opacho is very sorry to interrupt you, but aren't we here to meet Yoh-sama?" The little girl asked curiously as she cocked her head like a dog. Hao smiled a little at that. "Yes, we are here to meet Yoh, but let's give him some time to rest."
He was lying a bit. He did want Yoh to rest, but he also needed some time to think about what he's going to do when he meet Yoh and how Yoh will react when they meet each other. Hao snorted. He already knew the answer to his second question. /Of course he'll hate me. It'll be a miracle if he actually forgives me for all the wrong doings that I have done. Even though he's a nice to everyone, he'll just be angry with me. Even if I try to tell him that I've changed, he wouldn't listen, but it's worth a try. / Then, he drifted into a deep sleep.
(The Next Morning)
"Yoh!! Get up right now, you lazy jerk!! If you don't wake up, I'll make sure that you'll regret that you were even born!!" Anna's voice boomed through out the house, which probably has woken up every single spirits.
"But Anna!! We came back late yesterday! Can't I get some rest?" Yoh pouted, knowing that it will never work, but you'll never know if suddenly one day, Anna changed into an angel. "Boohoo… WELL, I DON'T CARE!! NOW, GET UP!" /It would've been a miracle if she actually let me sleep. I should get up before she plans on chopping my head off. / Yoh just shuddered at the thought. /That is definitely, Anna style. /
"Come on, now! 10 miles before breakfast! I'm actually being generous today because that pain-in-the-ass, Hao is gone. Try to ruin my good mood; you're going to be dead. Now, MOVE IT!!" Anna shouted as if Yoh was deaf or something. "Y-Yes, Ma'am!" Then, Yoh headed out.
"I'm being generous today… Oh sure! She's being so generous, today!" Yoh looked around, just to make sure that Anna didn't hear that. If she did, Yoh would rather commit a suicide than to face her, while he was still alive. "I always have to obey whatever she says. It's unfair!"
As he was running pass the graveyard, he felt something. And that "something" made his soul jump with joy and he had a sudden urge to go near whatever the thing was. It felt very familiar… It felt like Hao… /What am I thinking. I must be going insane. I killed Hao/ As he was thinking about it, he felt guilty about killing Hao. /He can't be alive… Or can he..? It's impossible! I've got to think about running a bit faster, if I don't want to miss breakfast. /
(Scene Change)
/Huh?! What was that feeling? It felt like Yoh was here just a minute a go. / That feeling made Hao's soul jump with glee. Then, he saw a figure that looked like Yoh pass the graveyard. "Yoh?"
Opacho stared at Hao with a quizzical look on his face. "Opacho is confused. Was that Yoh-sama, Hao-sama?" Hao smiled softly and said, "Yes, that was Yoh and we're going to 'talk' to him tonight." Opacho smiled back. 'Hao-sama surely changed and Opacho likes it! Hao-sama is a lot more nicer and friendlier to Opacho!'
Hao was swimming through his thoughts. He knew he had to face Yoh, some day, but he didn't quite know what to say. /I can't just say, "Yoh, forgive me… OR ELSE!!" Oh, SURE! That'll work like a charm! / Hao laughed as he thought about it. /Oh, well. I'll just think about what to say when I actually talk to him. / Then, he just waited for the perfect time to confront Yoh. (He's going to wait for a long time! --)
(ANOTHER Scene Change)
/I thought I'd never say this, but Anna's training is actually paying off. I did get a lot faster these days. / Yoh thought as he finished his 10 miles run in 40 minutes. (Wow… o.O)
"Anna, I finished running my 10 miles! Now, can I eat breakfast?" Yoh asked hopefully. "Of course you can have breakfast, WHILE DOING THE ELECTRIC CHAIR!!" (I think it's electric chair, but I'm not sure. looking it up in the dictionary) /Why me? TT/
"Hurry up, Yoh! You still have one thousand push-ups and one thousand sit-ups to go!" /I thought she said she was in a good mood! Jeez… I'm never going to understand girls! /
(At Night)
"Whew… I'm glad that today's torture training is over! Finally, I can stargaze!" Yoh smiled happily as he ran toward the graveyard.
He suddenly stopped. /That feeling again! It's just impossible, but I know that this feeling is…/ "HAO!!" Yoh was shocked by what he saw. Hao wasn't dead after all.
"Hello, otouto. It has been a long time since we met each other." Hao grinned as he saw Yoh's shocked face.
