Hi guys! New chapter! I hope you like it! I owe nothing but the plot of this FF!


Yoh looked at Hao again as he heard something.

Luchist looked over Yoh's shoulder at Hao, having heard a groan. Slowly Hao opened his eyes, looking around.

His body hurt but it was bearable, he had experienced worst. Slowly he could focus his eyes again. As his eyes met Yoh's his instincts started to kick in. He formed his hand in a cat-like gesture to inflame his hand but his furioku was used for healing him.

So not fire but Hao's nails met Yoh's face. Yoh couldn't react, to shocked to move. Luchist reacted directly, moving between the brothers to block the view at Yoh.

„Hao-sama, you are awake!" ,said he. „How do you feel? Hurt something?"

„No, Luchist. Everything is fine. What happened?" ,asked he, ignoring Yoh, too relieved that Luchist is there. „Ehm... You fought and you was badly hurt. We found you and brought you to camp. Right now we are in Canada. You slept for two weeks." ,explained Luchist, trying to let Yoh out of the story. „I can remember the fight" ,started Hao. „Yoh wounded me!"

He tried to look at his brother. „Yes, Hao-sama. But he also rescued you. Please don't punish him too much." ,tried the older man to excuse and help Yoh. „I will think about it. Now I am hungry."

„Of course Hao-sama." ,said Luchist, standing up and taking Yoh at his Kimono out of the tent.

Once out Luchist looked at Yoh, seeing the four deep and bleeding cuts. He could see that Yoh was in shock, not reacting or moving at all. The man looked around for someone who could care for Yoh while he brought his master something to eat. However he could only find Kanna who looked bored at the fire.

„Kanna! Come here!" Kanna looked up and moved to the two. „What is?" ,asked she, totally bored. „Can you take care of Yoh-sama while I bring Hao-sama something to eat?" asked he politely. „Yeah, sure. Is Hao-sama awaik?" „Yes, he is" Luchist went away and Kanna toke Yoh to the fire to sit down. „You look like crap. What happened?"

Yoh didn't answere, just looking at the fire. Kanna sighed and stood up to search for a scarf. As she came back she toke his face in her hand and dabed the blood away.

Something got her attention. The boy infront of her shivered. Slowly he started to cry. „I didn't wanted.. I didn't wanted..." His crying increased. „I... I had to.. I didn't... wanted..." And then he just started to cry crocodile tears.

Kanna just stared at him, to shocked to move. Slowly she woke up from her shock. „Hey." ,she started. „Hey, what is wrong? What's up?" Yoh looked at her with teary eyes. „I... I didn't wanted to hurt him. B...but I h..had to stop him b-but I-I didn't want. I didn't..." ,he broke again into tears. Kanna just took him into her arms.

Sometime during midday the other shamans came to prepare the food. They all looked at the two totally perplexed. Kanna just skock her head negative. They all did their work without another word.

After sometime Yoh was calm again but not really reacting to anything. At lunch Luchist came to the group, a little bit perplexed as he saw how Yoh leant against Kanna. Kanna stroke his bag.

„What's wrong?" ,asked he. Everyone went silent to hear what's wrong.

„I think as he was fighting Hao-sama, he didn't wanted to hurt him but he had no other way to stop him. I think he kind of blames himself and sees it as if he had done something totally wrong. He feels guilty." ,explained she. Luchist stood up and walked to them. He toke Yoh's face into his hands and looked at the wounds. They weren't very deep and had already stoped bleeding.

He couldn't tell him that he was wrong, that he didn't nearly killed Hao-sama. That would be an obvious lie. However, he could understand Yoh-sama. He was so young and unexperienced. To let a young boy like that have to decite between life and death. A young heart, pure and wide eyed. How could they. But it happened and now Yoh-sama had to grow up fast, faster then normal. They too had young ones who had grown too fast. Marion and Matty as an example. They had to expierience so much in a young age.

The rest of the day Yoh looked into the fire, ignoring everything around him.

„Oh, I can't lok at that anymore!" ,shouted Matty. She toke his arm and moved him so she could look into his eyes. He didn't avoid it. „Look! You can pity yourself as much as you want but enough is enough. Go and kill yourself when you can't accept what you have done. Go and cry to death. Pity-boy!"

Yoh didn't react, just looked at her.

„Pity-boy. I experienced much worse at a young age. When I was just a toddler my parents died and only an old woman helped me. The other humans looked down at us. Shouted after us. 'Witches' they called us. And as my forstermother was ill no one came to help her. She just died and they ignored it. Do you thing that was a wonderful experience! Oh no, but I didn't pity myself. No! Hao-sama came and helped me. He toke me in and gave me a home. Or Marion here."

Yoh looked at her.

„After her father was killed, she and her mother tried to flee from her father's group but they killed her mother. Do you think that was a nice experience?!

"Even Kanna had her 'nice' experiences. She had everything you could dream of until her parents died and her own relatives and lawyers treated her like dirt. Hao-sama came and rescued her. But do you thing she pitied herself? No! She became stronger. We all became! Oh! I can't understand you. How dear you! Being like a Pity-boy!

"You can't even imagine what they shouted after us!"

" Oni-child. Oni-child!

Your mother is a foxdemon!

Black and crazy with firetail

she eats people with eye and hair

talks to no one, has no one

lonely, lonely Oni-child

Your father was a crazy man,

doesn't care for your well-fair

Keep away, keep away

little, little Oni-child!"

They were all silent. "What- what is that for a song?" ,asked Matty shocked. "It's the song the children in my village shouted at me as they threw stones at me." ,said Yoh, standing up and walking into the forest.


Hi guys, next chapter! Yay!

To the song:

I tried to write it on Japanese but I couldn't find a good translater so I wrote it just on English. Hope you like it.

Also, when you have time left: Can you tell me how often I used the word 'shocked'? I really want to now. I have the feeling I used it very often.

So, tell me again when I did any mistakes ('When'? I did many. Silly me.)

I hope you find some time (A word I used also very often, I think) to review me.

Pleeeeeeaaaaaasssssse! (Big eyes and cookies from my sister!)

Bye, until the next chapter!
