Chapter 1
"Yummy!" Chui-Yue exclaimed while eating her meal.
Hao smirked when he saw the girl's action. He looked at his food and did not touch them. Chui-Yue looked up to find Hao staring at his food.
"Are you going to eat that?" Chui-Yue asked after a long paused.
Hao raised an eyebrow, "I'm not hungry. You can have it." Hao said handing the girl his food.
"No thanks, I don't eat fish." Chui-Yue said rejecting the offer.
"Eh?" Hao's jaws drop opened. "Aren't you a cat?" He asked questionably.
"Umm…" Chui-Yue stopped to think for a while, "I'm a cat-youkai or I mean hanyou." She said. Her reactions made Hao laughed. "What are you laughing at?" Chui-Yue asked.
"You." Hao said.
"Well…I don't have to eat fish to prove that I'm a C-A-T." Chui-Yue said licking her paws. She continued, "Besides, not all cats eat fish."
"Oh yeah? What cat doesn't eat fish?" Hao questioned.
Chui-Yue stopped licking her paws. "Let me think…………" Then, Chui-Yue smiled and said, "Me."
"I see." Hao said with a laugh. "She is so Kawaii." He thought. "Why don't you eat fish?" Hao asked.
There were silence for a while, but then Chui-Yue spoke, "My friend was a fish-youkai that's why." Tears began to appear in her eyes, "I'm happy that she turned into a human and be with the ones she loved."
Hao looked deep into the girl's eyes to find that there were sorrow in them, "But?"
"She died…" Chui-Yue rubbed away her tears, "Humans die easily. I shouldn't have let her turned into a human…"
"What happened?" Hao asked.
"She was killed by humans. They said she was evil. I thought that she will live happily but I was wrong." Chui-Yue said slamming her fist on the table causing everyone in the restaurant to turn and look at her.
"Humans! Once I get my power back, I will destroy them." Hao thought.
Chui-Yue stood up suddenly, "Let's go. We still need to find 'Gemini' before midnight." She exclaimed.
Hao looked at the girl and nodded. He was about to leave, just then the waiter caught him.
"You haven't paid!" The waiter shouted. Hao turned and met the man's gaze. Cold sweat dripped down the man's head. "Oh no! He's…he's the Ying Yang master! I'll be cursed." He thought.
Hao read thru the man's mind, "Hmph! Pathetic human." He said. "Prepare to die!" He shouted annoyed.
"Gomen-nasai! Hao-sama!" The waiter said with a bow.
"No wonder this place looks familiar." Hao thought. "I'm back to the time where I first born."
Seeing that Hao did not response, the man immediately kneeled down and begged for forgiveness, "Gomen-nasai… I don't know it was you. I…please don't set a curse on me and my family."
"Hao!" Chui-Yue shouted suddenly seeing the incident.
Hao turned, "NANI?"
Chui-Yue did not say anything, instead she walked towards the waiter and helped him up, "Are you alright?" She asked concerned.
"BAKA!" Hao shouted suddenly.
Chui-Yue let the man sit, and then she turned her attention towards Hao. "You can't treat him like that, although he's a human." Chui-Yue said.
Hao did not say anything; instead he pulled Chui-Yue out of the restaurant.
---XXX---
"He's a human!" Hao reminded when they were standing under a tree.
Chui-Yue looked up, "I know." She looked at the snowy ground then continued, "That doesn't mean you can treat him badly."
"Yeah right…" Hao thought.
"Are you listening?" Chui-Yue asked.
Hao turned. "Eh?"
Chui-Yue slapped her hand on her forehead, "Never mind." She said. Chui-Yue then turned and walked away, "Let's go find 'Gemini'." She announced.
"What's the rush?" Hao asked.
"Won't he learn? We don't have much time." Chui-Yue thought as she walked.
"Where do you suppose we find it?" Hao asked while laying his back on the tree trunk.
Chui-Yue stopped but then she continued to walk away, "We won't be able to find it if we stand there doing nothing."
Hao raised an eyebrow, "She's got a point there. Besides, if I didn't find the lost pieces back I will be doom and worse of all I won't be able to destroy mankind."
"Hao? Are you going?" Chui-Yue turned and asked.
"What do you think?" Hao asked cheekily.
Chui-Yue narrowed her eyes. She stared deep into Hao's eyes as if trying to read them. Hao stared into the girl green eyes and he felt his heart beat fast.
"Are you going?" Chui-Yue asked again. She got so close to Hao that he couldn't resist but give the girl a kiss on her cheek. Chui-Yue blinked but she did not make a move to push him away, "Are you going?" She asked again.
Hao smirked as he pulled the girl closer and whispered in her ears, "Yeah, but…you have to kiss me first."
"I see…" Saying this, Chui-Yue kissed Hao on his forehead. "Now, let's go!" She shouted pulling Hao's hand but Hao did not budge. "???" Chui-Yue eyed Hao suspiciously, "You promised to come with me."
Hao laughed, "Just a second." He said staring deep into the girl's eyes. "Wow, she got beautiful eyes."
"We don't have much time." Chui-Yue said suddenly as she shook Hao. "Let's go NOW!" She grabbed Hao's hand and pulled him away.
---XXX---
"She's so kawaii, so naïve, so…beautiful. I haven't seen a girl like her before." Hao thought when they were…in the flea market searching for 'Gemini' or at least they…I mean Hao thought it was the most 'suitable' place to search.
"Tell me again. Why do you bring me here?" Chui-Yue asked.
"Cause there are plenty of antics sold here. Maybe we will be able to find 'Gemini' here." Hao said as a-matter-of-factly. He turned to find Chui-Yue scratching her head.
"I don't think we can find it here." Chui-Yue said. "It's a valuable thing. How can it be here?" Chui-Yue said.
"If we had luck we may be able to find it." Hao said as he turned towards a trader and asked him something.
"It's impossible the pieces will be here." Chui-Yue thought. "It will only be hidden in dangerous place, such as the palace. Just like the movies." Chui-Yue licked her paws, "How I missed my TV. No fair!" Chui-Yue pouted like a little kid. "It's Christmas Eve right now; there are probably A LOT of movies on TV." She then looked up to see Hao staring at her with a smirk. She noticed that he held a small sack. She walked towards him and asked, "What have you got there?"
"Make a guess." Hao said cheekily.
"Umm… 'Gemini'? Chui-Yue asked.
"No, but I know who have it." Hao said. "The trader gave me a map to the person's house. Let's take a look."
Chui-Yue smiled and nodded. They looked at the map.
"???????????????????????" Hao's jaws drop opened. "NANI? That's the way to…my house?"
"Your house?" Chui-Yue asked.
Hao did not answer. "Now I have to go and snatch the thing away from myself? But…wait a minute, when did this happen? How come I didn't remember a thing about it?"
"Umm…Hao? You live in this era?" Chui-Yue asked.
Hao looked up, "Not in this life. I used to live here in my past life."
Chui-Yue covered her mouth with her hand. "Then, you can't come with me, I heard people say 'Don't mess with your past or you will regret it."
"I know." Hao narrowed his eyes, "You mean you are going alone?"
"I guess so." Chui-Yue said.
There were silenced for a while. Then, Hao spoke, "You can't go alone."
"Why?" Chui-Yue asked. "We don't have much time left. If I don't go, who else will go?"
"Now what? I can't let her go. She will possible get killed or sealed by the past-life ME. But…she's got a point there, if she doesn't go, who will?" These questions kept appearing in Hao's mind.
"Hao? Can I go now?" Chui-Yue asked.
"I'm going with you." Hao announced.
"What? You can't go. It'll be dangerous…you could self-destruct or whatever." Chui-Yue said.
"You are going with me…or I go alone?" Hao asked back. "I'm not going to let you go on your own."
"But…but…" Chui-Yue paused to think of an answer or a question. Then she shot back, "Why won't you let me go ALONE? I just know you for two days or make that a day and a half. You don't have to care if I'm going alone or what. I'm not going to let you risk any danger in finding the lost pieces. Just let me go alone! I will succeed this mission. That's for sure."
A smirk formed Hao's face. "Then, why do you care for me? You said we only known each other for two days." Hao said.
"Eh?"
Hao walked near the girl, "I don't want to let you go alone. It's because I don't want to see you get hurt. I know, we just knew each other for two days but…I think…" Hao then whispered in the girl's ears, "Aishiteru, Chui-Yue."
Chui-Yue eyes widen with surprise, "Is he saying that he love me? That's…impossible. I…he's a human but I'm a youkai." Chui-Yue immediately pushed Hao away, "Please don't say that again." She warned.
Hao smirked and did not say anything. Deep inside, he knew that the girl got a little…attached to his words earlier. That unmistakable expression on her face had shown that she's interested in him too. "Although I can't read her mind, but…"
Chui-Yue lowered her head and spoke softly, "I need to find 'Gemini' now." Saying this, Chui-Yue was about to walk away but then Hao caught her.
"I'm going with you." He exclaimed. Chui-Yue opened her mouth to speak but Hao silenced her by saying, "If you don't let me go that means…you love me."
"…" Chui-Yue could only say, "Let's go."
Hao grabbed Chui-Yue's hand and they ran…towards the destination.
---XXX---
"Whoa, you used to lived here?" Chui-Yue asked.
Hao nodded.
Chui-Yue smiled, "Then let's go in." She said as she was about to step into the mansion, just then Hao pulled her out. "Eh?"
Hao did not say a word, instead he mumbled a spell. The entrance of the mansion began to glow showing words and charms. Then, the charms shattered. "No wonder the spell got shattered. It was me all along." Hao thought. "Wait, I remember…when the spell shattered I…" Hao immediately pulled Chui-Yue to hide.
Just then, the door of the mansion opened to reveal a man with a white kimono standing there. The man turned and almost spotted Hao and the cat-youkai but Hao immediately cast a spell to become invisible. Seeing that no one was there, the man disappeared into the mansion.
"Hao? Does he look like you? Or is it I have a problem with my eyes?" Chui-Yue asked unbelievably.
Hao did not say a word. Chui-Yue did not bother to ask anymore. "Let's go." Hao whispered as they got out of their hiding place. They then sneaked into the mansion.
"Hao? Where are we going to find it? This mansion is huge." Chui-Yue whispered.
Hao grabbed the girl's hand, "Follow me." Saying this he brought the girl to a room at the end of the mansion. He opened the door and walked in. "This…was my room." He announced.
Chui-Yue scratched her head, "Where is 'Gemini?"
Hao's expression turned serious. He put a finger on his forehead. After a while…
"I have no idea."
Chui-Yue sweatdropped. "Never mind. Let's search for it." Saying this, Chui-Yue opened the closets the drawers…but she still did not find anything. She turned to find Hao standing there with a smirk. "Have you found it?" She asked.
Hao paused for a while, "Umm…no?"
"Then why are you smirking?" Chui-Yue asked.
"That's because…I got it." Hao said.
Chui Yue smiled, "Really?"
"Yeah, I've had it with me before I went into this room." Hao said.
"How did you get it?" Chui-Yue asked unbelievably.
"Remember when you say you want to go to the toilet?" Hao asked.
"???"
Flashbacks…
"Hao…I think I need to use the bathroom." Chui-Yue exclaimed.
"Now?" Hao couldn't believe his ears. The invisible spell only last for one-hour. If they didn't get out of this mansion in that time…they will get caught. Hao realized that but…
"I need to go to the toilet NOW…" Chui-Yue almost shouted. Luckily, Hao clasped his hand over her mouth.
"Make sure you'll be back REAL soon." Hao said.
End of flashbacks…
"When you were gone, I found one of the servants in the mansion very…suspicious. So I followed her to her room and found out that she was casting a spell. I then find that 'Gemini' is part of her ritual." Hao continued, "So…I sort of snatched it away from her." "Hmm…no wonder I was separated with Yoh in my second reincarnation. That servant must have cast a spell on me." Hao thought.
"Oh…I see." Chui-Yue nodded. She scratched her head and asked, "Then, why do you bring me here?"
"Because I just want you to have a look at where I used to lived."
Chui-Yue smiled and looked around her, "Not bad."
Hao smirked, "Well, better get going because the spell is going to wear off soon."
Chui-Yue nodded as she followed Hao out of the room. They sneaked out of the mansion just right before the spell wore off.
"Whew. What a close call." Chui-Yue said after they had gone far. She turned and took a look behind her to see if anyone is following them. She took out 'Gemini' and looked at it. "It's beautiful." She whispered.
Hao crossed his arms, "Two to go." He announced.
Chui-Yue looked up, "We can't find the next pieces before midnight. That means…we still have plenty of time."
"Told you so…" Hao thought. "What do you supposed we do now?" He asked sitting on a tall rock near a river.
Chui-Yue shrugged. There was silence for a few minutes. None of them talked to each other. Then suddenly a 'bright' idea came from Chui-Yue, "Let's find something to eat."
"???????"
Chui-Yue narrowed her eyes, "This is your country. So…please introduce your country's food to me." Chui-Yue said smiling sweetly. "Tell me, what is the most delicious food in Japan?"
"Umm…curry bread?" Hao replied.
Chui-Yue scratched her head. "Curry bread?"
Hao nodded, "It's my favourite food."
"Then, let's eat." Chui-Yue said as she jumped onto a rock near Hao.
Hao nodded as he jumped down the rock. "Come, I'll bring you to a restaurant famous for its curry bread."
---XXX---
Chui-Yue gulped a lot of water. "Too…spicy…must…drink…water…"
Hao laughed at the girl and continued eating his curry bread.
After a few hours…
"It tasted delicious." Chui-Yue said although she was in tears.
Hao looked up suddenly and was shocked, "Why are you crying?"
"Sob… Spicy food… Sob…makes… Sob…me cry."
"You considered that spicy?" Hao asked unbelievably.
"Sob … yes…Sob."
Hao smirked, "You cry a lot didn't you?"
"Sob…no I don't! Sob…I'm not a…Sob…crybaby." Chui-Yue said.
"Yeah right." Hao said mockingly. Chui-Yue did not answered instead she kept drinking water.
"Sob…the water…Sob…is useless."
"You need to have tea." Hao said. He signaled a waiter to take an order. The waiter nodded and disappeared thru the kitchen.
---XXX---
"Much better now?" Hao asked the girl when there were walking on the streets.
Chui-Yue nodded.
The stars shone brightly in the sky. A small amount of snow fell onto both their heads. Hao shook the snow off his hair. Chui-Yue did not bother to do so.
"We still got an hour to go." Hao announced.
"I know…what do you suggest we do?" Chui-Yue asked.
"Watch the stars?" Hao replied.
Chui-Yue licked her paws and nodded. "But…Hao, we can't see it clearly from here." She said.
Hao grabbed the girl's hand. "Concentrate on my furuyuku."
"Eh?"
"Sent us both up there." Hao pointed to a cliff not far from where they're standing.
"OK." Chui-Yue answered. She concentrated on using Hao's furuyuku. And the next thing they knew, they were standing on a high cliff. Chui-Yue tugged onto Hao's clothes. "I'm afraid of highs." She whispered.
"NANI? But you are a cat. Cats don't afraid of highs. She's really full of surprises."
"I know." Chui-Yue closed her eyes and said. She tugged onto Hao's clothes tightly.
Hao smirked as he stared at the girl instead of stargazing. "She's really…beautiful. Her lips are very… kissable." Hao thought as he neared the girl. He found his heart beat fast. "If only…I…"
His lips were about to met hers. Just then, Chui-Yue opened her eyes. She immediately pulled away when she found out that she was way too close to Hao. A slight blush creep her face, "What was he trying to do?" She heard herself asked.
Hao coughed and turned his attention towards the sky but his mind drifted away, "She's kawaii yet beautiful. No youkai or any pathetic human deserves her. She's just too good to be true." Hao thought. "I'll make her mine." He vowed silently.
"Umm…Hao. I think we still got a minute to go." Chui-Yue spoke softly. Her face was still a little pink from the 'little' incident a few minutes ago. "Man, why do I feel my face burning when I saw him? I must have been sick." She reasoned.
"Chui-Yue, I just want to know something." Hao spoke.
Chui-Yue looked up, "What is it?"
Before Hao could spoke, bright lights flashed and the two of them disappeared in the bright lights.
TO BE CONTINUE…
