«Table for two please, and preferably the private part of the room» a young man in his early twenties, about 21-22 years old said as he smiled towards the waitress that nodded her head smiling back. When the guy was sitting neatly and comfortably in his seat he ordered red wine and nothing else telling her that he would wait until his partner would show up.
He put his elbows on the table and leaned his chin on top of his hands before watching everyone carefully studying each human being sitting in the restaurant witch his dark brown sharp eyes. He was wearing a pair of dark blue jeans, half buttoned white dress shirt with oversized collars and cuffs. His hair was pretty long, reaching down past his waist line, but put in a low pony tail to keep it from getting in the way.
Just as the waitress came back with his red wine, another figure walked over to him before sitting down on the table. It was an African woman, looking around 18-19 years old. She has originally large pitch black afro hair, but right now her hair was straightened and done neatly reaching to her elbows, with an orange hair band keeping her hair out of her face. She wore a white silky dress shirt and black knee high skirt and black and white teeze shoes and a small black handbag.
The waitress looked at the young woman sitting beside the rather handsome guy with jealousy before she walked away.
"Sorry I'm late Hao, I was stuck with some extra work because of those lazy butts caused me some extra work to do." The woman said with a small smile.
"It's fine Opacho, as long as you got the information I needed I'm pleased. And tell those "lazy butts" to sharpen up and do their work, or I won't be so pleased, and they know what will happen if I'm not pleased with something." Hao said as he took a small sip from his wine with a smile playing on his lips which Opacho returned.
"I will." She said chuckling, before she put her black handbag on the table and took out a folder. She carefully and quickly looked around before returning with a serious face looking on Hao.
"I did get quite some information about our target actually, but there are a few missing pieces that seems to be missing. I have minds to all the people who have seen, talked or know him and it's actually very amusing finding out all the thoughts people have about him." Opacho said as she took some papers out of the folder and gave it to Hao who put his glass down and seemed to be focused on the papers of their "target".
He scanned fast through it before he suddenly got a laugher fit making him dry his eyes from the tears after laughing. Opacho chuckled at the sight and shook her head at him.
"This is amazing… he gets better and better for each day, I can't wait to see what will happen when he finally awakens!" Hao took another sip from his wine looking happy and satisfied as he leaned back on the seat.
Opacho looked at him with a happy smile, feeling gleeful with making him look so satisfied with her work. She really loved him like a big brother and couldn't ask or wish for anyone else to replace his place, and though she didn't have parents because Hao was the one who found her when she was just a small child, he filled every spot in her heart that the "family" who –most certain- left her to die or couldn't afford to have her.
"Well…let's eat, because we have big work to do in the future! The food is on me this time so choose whatever you want!" Hao said with a smile before they both picked up the menu's and scanned all the different choices they had in food and drinks.
She put away the folder with the papers back into her handbag before she put it carefully on the ground and smiled happily as they waited for the food.
…
I opened my eyes carefully as I blinked away the sharp light and the dots in my eyes from the sudden brightness. I closed them again thinking about the dream I had. It felt so surreal, the war, the cries of help, the horrifying golden flame burning everything and everyone to ashes.
I shuddered as I saw the dream in front of me. I opened my eyes and shook my head before sitting up and getting out of the bed. No, this couldn't be real, I mean… I couldn't have been the one it's impossible…
I decided to shake of the dream and push it out of my head at least for a while, if it was possible and walked out the door and towards the bathroom.
"I heard you scream…i-is everything okay Yoh-kun?" a voice suddenly said out of nowhere making me jump slightly, I guess I was still a bit jumpy and shaky after the dream.
I looked to my side where the voice came from and found Tamao standing by the door with her sketchbook in her hands, fully clothed in her usual dressing style. I blinked surprised before I smiled towards her.
"Y-yeah, I'm fine thank you Tamao, but it's nothing. It's just a stupid nightmare that's all!" I said giving her a ressuring smile which made her blush slightly as she looked down and nodded her head.
"Oh…y-yeah, okay. Uhm…that's good- I mean about the part where you say you're fine, not that you had a nightmare!" she hurried saying trying to explain as she waved her hands which only made me chuckle at her actions.
"Thank you Tamao for worrying about me." I said smiling making her blush darken and smile back before bowing and running back inside to her room.
I chuckled slightly before continuing my trip to the bathroom.
"Yoh-kun, are you sure you're fine? It didn't seem like you were "fine" when you were sleeping. You were sweating and calling out things in your sleep." Amidamaru said floating after me from behind.
I looked back at him over my shoulder and nodded my head.
"Yeah, I'm fine, don't worry!" opening the bathroom door and stepping inside I was meet by a tired looking Anna. Which made me stare at her in shock; I have never seen her like that. I walked carefully towards her and jumped back in fear when she suddenly took a deep breath scared that she would scold me or yell at me.
When she breathed out a heavy sigh I was standing there dumbfounded wondering what happened to her.
"Anna is everything fine? You look…tired." I said and she just looked at me her eyes and basically her face and body showing the signs of a very tired shaman. She had black bangs under her eyes, pale looking skin and messy hair.
"No… something is not right. There is something in the air, a dangerous vibration. I can feel it, all the ghost hid away because of it. This is a bad sign; I was up all night trying to figure out where it came from with little luck. I ended up using all the meditations I knew and learned, and the last one seemed to show that me something. It was hard, but I could see a face. It was dark, caught up in flames and I almost got it, until I heard you scream which broke my concentration" she said annoyed slowly turning back to her normal self.
I backed a few steps away scared to be near her presence when she's in a bad mood, which she would definitive be because she hasn't slept all night.
I smiled scratching the back of my head apologizing for disturbing her. She just sighed tired and shook her head.
"But it's nothing we can do about it now. Go change your clothes, you're all sweaty." she simply said as she walked out and disappeared out the door leaving Amidamaru and me staring dumbfounded there.
I blinked and scratched my head, closing the door I stripped off my clothes and jumped into the shower. Turning on the shower I felt the warm water flow down my skin comforting and relaxing me.
"Yoh…"
I opened my eyes in shock and looked around. I looked at Amidamaru but found him nowhere. What was that? Did I just imagine hearing someone whisper my name?
I think I'm going crazy.
…
"We are starting to finally connect!" Hao said with a smirk as he was sitting on the dark couch leaning back. Opacho came out of the kitchen with two cups of warm tea and sat down beside him giving him one.
"That's good news!" she said happily as she took a sip from the hot tea. He looked at her and smiled ruffling her hair like on a small child. She chuckled feeling happy.
I guess we will have to visit my little brother soon. Opacho could you get me some new clothes to fit in at school?" Hao asked and she nodded her head.
"Of course, but I think you're too old to be a student, so I fixed something for you so you are going to be his new history teacher." She said and Hao looked at her surprised before laughing shaking his head.
"That sounds like a good plan. One should really never underestimate a woman's power." Hao said chuckling before finally deciding to take up the warm cup of tea and drink it slowly.
…
"Guys, did you hear about that?" Lyserg suddenly said making everyone turn their heads at him as he stood there by the door panting.
"Heard what?" one of my class mates shouted out curious.
"Our history teacher has resigned so we will have get another teacher, a new one." He said walking in and over to where Manta, Ren, Horohoro and I were sitting.
"Why?"
"I hope the new teacher is a hot chick!"
The classroom was suddenly filled with noisy chatting students. I looked at Lyserg as he sat down beside me and looked at us.
"So do you know why our history- I mean ex-history teacher resigned?" Ren asked and I looked at Lyserg curiously.
"No, I don't know why. But I know one thing, and that the new teacher is a dude so for all those guys that hoped for a "hot chick" will be deeply disappointed" he said making me chuckle. I looked at Ren and Horohoro that were sitting closely together holding hands.
I suddenly felt a pang in my chest and deep loneliness. I closed my eyes and leaned forward pressing my hands to my chest as I squeezed my eyes tightly feeling tears at the corners.
"Yoh-kun are you okay? Does it happen again, maybe you should skip the class and go see the Ruy?" Manta said concerned making me only look up at him weakly smiling slightly.
"No…It's...fine. It stopped now." I lied as I forced myself to sit up and put a mask on my face to hide the pain.
"You sure?" Lyserg asked and I just smiled nodding my head.
The door to the classroom suddenly opened and even without looking I could feel it. The pain went away and I suddenly felt something warm and comfortable coming up.
"Hello class, I will be your new history teacher. You can all just call me Hao."
Our eyes meet and I knew it. I could feel it. All this pain and longing I had for all this time has faded.
I founded myself smiling when I saw the look on his face from seeing me and I could read his lips as he mouthed.
"I have finally found you, Yoh."
….
Hey guys.
I'm so sorry for not updating for so long. I actually had this stupid thing called writers block and I still kind of have it, but I had to push and force myself to at least write SOMETHING. And I am actually writing this at 12 am xD
I have test, mocking test and soon exams coming up (OMG O.O) so it will be probably less time to write, but as soon I have the urge to write and don't have the stupid thing blocking in my head from coming up with something I will rape the keyboard and post another chapter. XD
But for now, this is it. I know it isn't very much, but I seriously want to apologize. I have tried SO MANY TIMES to write something, but the words just didn't want to come out or make sense
But now I have finally managed to at least make another chapter for you guys :D
