Summary:

Fumiko hated humans because her main spirit, Chantico, was shunned in her lifetime. Five years ago, she was saved by a random guy from a fire and was promised to be claimed when she's strong enough. Will her dream to meet this guy again come true? Hao x Oc.


Chapter 3: Kaimochi and Curry Bread


Hao's pOv

I watched what she has been doing since I met her using the bonfire. She is a very interesting shaman. She is too special. I must get her into my group. She will make my dream for a shaman only kingdom successful. I grinned as I change into a pair of dark blue jeans and a half buttoned white dress shirt with oversized collars and cuffs.

Humans have always tried to eliminate everything they don't understand. 5 years ago they tried to kill a shaman girl who is now a year younger than I am. The Buddhist Monk star has been my symbol since I started the Asakura line. Since then, anything I wear has a star in it. My belt, my pants' straps, my track suit and others. I closed my eyes for a moment and recalled everything that happened even before the fire started.


~~Flashback~~

"Hey, that girl is talking to ghosts!"

"She's a demon!"

"Get rid of her!"

"She's cursed!"

"Burn her alive!"

"Let's pretend we're friends then lock her to that old storage that we're about to burn anyways! Then we burn it with her inside!" Someone suggested.

"Yes!" The crowd agreed.

A young man who was part of the crowd asked for help saying that his family was trapped in the abandoned storage house. She immediately get worried and run towards the house only to be locked inside it. The crowds showed up and start dousing the house with a bunch of gasoline and set it on fire. Her screams for help was easily drowned by the cheers of the crowd. I tried using my reishi but for some reason her mind was unreadable no matter how much I pried into her mind.

'How interesting…' I thought to myself.

The fire consumed the entire house and the people start leaving. I jumped down the tree I was sitting at and slipped myself in the burning house. I saw her, looking very helpless and tears streaming down her face continuously. She's obviously running out of air so I walked towards her.

"You are not cursed." I said. "You're special"

'Even for a shaman…'I added in my thoughts. 'I think she's good enough to be my life time partner.'

"Who..?" She tried

"Rest. I'll claim you once you're strong enough. Then we'll create our very own shaman only world."

"Shaman?" She observed her area and finally set her eyes in my direction. I picked her up and teleported us outside to the nearby lake outside and laid her beside it.

"You are also a shaman. Humans are trying to eliminate us." I smiled at her, placing a star hairpin and started walking away. "We'll meet again, Kurosawa Fumiko."

"Why?" I managed to ask before unconsciousness take over me.

"When you're strong enough, I'll marry you…" I intentionally made the last part inaudible to hear. "Continue hating humans, they did this to you. I'll find you with that present I gave you."

I made myself disappeared into flames and returned back into our base camp.

"Welcome back, Hao-sama." Opacho greeted.

"We will have a new companion in the future." I placed my signature smile. "Things are getting very interesting."

~~End Flashback~~


I played around with the oracle bell and browse the names of the participants of the shaman fight. I know my little brother, Yoh, will be joining the fight because he is destined to fight with me. I continued browsing and saw names like, Horohoro, Ren Tao, Umemiya Ryunosuke, Lyserg Diethel, Chocolove, Johann Faust VIII and many more. I almost stop playing with it until I came across a certain name.

Kurosawa Fumiko

I smirked and peered into her furyuku level. She currently has 360,000 and still working on it. The pseudo death she had 5 years ago really increased her furyuku. I let my arm drop to my side and start walking towards my companions who were currently cooking or polishing their weapons.

"Hello, Hao-sama!" A little voice greeted.

"Ah, Opacho." I smiled at her and lifted her to my shoulders.

"Opacho manage to catch 3 fishes today!" She proudly boasted and I can't help but laughed.

Opacho, you are so innocent. I'm glad I found you before the humans killed you.

I looked at everyone and smiled. "Are you all ready?"

They all looked at me and grinned. They knew that we're all heading to the Patch Island right now but I got something else in mind.

"We're going to take the Patch Tribe's plane." I announced making them wonder too much it floods my brain. "There's somebody I want to observe."

"Your little brother, Asakura Yoh?" Zang-Ching asked.

"Him, his group and somebody interesting…" I answered and put Opacho back down the ground.

Their thoughts on who is that interesting person flooded my brain once again. I just continued smiling and checked my oracle bell. I and my companions obviously already became official contestants after we all defeated all the opponents assigned to each of us. I gazed at her profile and saw she already got her first opponent. Her opponent was a very weak girl; it should be really easy for her.

"Are you going to leave again, Hao-sama?" Opacho enquired as she tugged my poncho to get my attention.

"Ah, I'll be gone for a while. Make sure you guys get along." I smiled at them and disappeared.

I reappeared at sunrise train station and perched myself on top of the still train. Fumiko arrived in the train station drinking a soda called Fanta and twirling her kiseru at the other hand. A green haired spirit wearing native clothing with a large ribbon at the back to hold the skirt together hovered beside her, drinking the same soda. She threw the empty can to the nearest trash can and plopped herself to the bench.

"I'm so bored…" She sighed. "Where the heck is my opponent? It's freaking 1:55 pm!"

"Well, the schedule of the fight is at 2:00." Her main spirit reminded her.

"But Shanti," She frowned then sighed once again. "Well, I'm in the mood for some Kaimochi anyways."

"It's now called botamochi…"The spirit coached then cheered. "Let's eat more!"

"You're eating my budget away!" She retorted but laughed at the end.

"You won't be eating anything anymore." A young girl's voice spoke.

We all turned to the direction of the girl's voice. Fumiko just sighed along with her main spirit. Their oracle bell rang the go signal and they both called their oversoul.

"Onibi in Slingshot!" The girl cried.

"Shanti in kiseru!" Fumiko calmly said. "You'll regret you choose to fight with me, Millie. O.S Lava Blade!"

Millie's sling shot was now glowing orange red while Fumiko's kiseru is now a sword made out of lava. The little girl seems to get scared about it but too stubborn to admit. Millie fired her slingshot which Fumiko simply dodged and knocked her out by hitting her by the hilt of the sword. With just that, she automatically won this round. She sighed and her red oracle bell declared her the winner for the round.

"Well, now that that's over. I'm going to get me some Kaimochi." She simply turned around towards the stores with her main spirit now back in her humanoid form.

"You are… really interesting." I mumbled and laughed. "Might as well get curry bread while I'm here. I need to remind her that I still exist."

I entered the store and picked some curry bread. I was about to just walk away when the cashier stopped me. He shouted and it made everybody looked at my direction. Even though I'm only focusing into a specific person to look at me.

"You…" She mumbled.

I lifted my arm to show my oracle bell and she smiled. She knows the message grabbed her food and start running away too. She tried to follow me but when we arrived at the park she stopped.

"I promise I'll get stronger!" she shouted as I continued walking. "And when that time comes… will you take me away from these humans?"

I smirked and turned slightly, just enough for her to see my face. I copied her answer to her main spirit when she was asked if she was nervous. "Maybe I will, maybe I will not."

I made myself disappear into flames and return to our base camp. I grabbed one of the curry bread and start munching it.

Things will be much more interesting now.
