Hey people, sorry this chapter is so late. My friend came over unexpectedly yesterday cuz she was bored and her pc decided to die on her just as the half term holidays started, and since I have this thing where I hate writing in front of people we ended up watching the 1st sex and the city movie and doing a load of crap until late. And then today I had to go into town and sort out my dad's b-day prezzy, so I've only really just been able to finish writing it, so u know, my bad.

Also I have my final English exam next Tuesday, and I have a crap load of revision (ugh) to do cuz last time I took it I got a U (ungraded), which is actually worse than an F lol. so yeah, as you may guess I'm only going to post 1 chapter next week due to the heavy amount of work I'm gunna have 2 do 2 get a good grade. Sorry guys. But the good news is that after that exam I have no more! So I will defo meet all of my deadlines after that.

Anywayz...

Sadly I don't own shaman king; only my oc's and part of the plot. Dang .

Expect some violence, swearing, and funny.

Chapter 21- uninvited guest

"I hate heights" Kekki said, his eyes looking out the window at the ocean miles below. The next round of the shaman fight had started, and with it came a new destination. They were currently in one of the many patche helicopters headed towards a small island off the coast of Japan, the place that would soon be their new home. It was a little annoying having travelled all the way from Japan to America just to travel all the way back again, but at least this generation had much faster means of transport than they did five hundred years ago.

"Well we could have travelled here by boat, but then you would get sea sick." Shinji said to Kekki with a smile.

"I am sorry mistress, but being a creature of earth I am happiest on land."

"Well what I want to know is how the patch managed to get air clearance for all of these helicopters." She wondered, shooting a meaning full glance at their pilot. "And how they managed to afford everything."

"The helicopters are all created through the mana of the pilots, just like the jumbo jet that dropped you off in America." The pilot explained helpfully.

"I didn't go on the jet; I had to make my own way here thanks to a certain bastard."

"Oh, well... because they are created my mana they are all invisible to the average human eye, and they don't cost a thing."

"Ah I see, and that way you can get everyone here in secret, right?"

"Exactly."

"Cool."

It wasn't long before the helicopter landed, and the team was shown to their accommodations for their time on the island. They would be staying in a three bedroom lodge, conveniently placed beside a small lake in the middle of the wilderness. It suited the needs of all three perfectly. Shinji would be able to do some long overdue training by the lake, Kekki would be able to get in touch with his inner beast while roaming the forest, and Rosie, being the anti social girl that she is, would be able to do whatever it is Rosie's do in the quiet seclusion of the house. There was just one drawback...

"Oh hell, what are you doing here?" Shinji cried, pointing an accusing finger at the uninvited guest.

She was currently stood knee deep in lake water, her jeans rolled up to her middle thigh, and completely soaking wet thanks to the huge floating ball she was playing with before she had seen a certain pyro by the water's edge. Needless to say, she ended up dropping it over her head in shock, and now she was not a very happy shaman.

Hao was smirking at her, obviously trying to hold in his laughter due to the fierce glare she had shot him.

"I was just exploring the area around my camp, and happened to stumble upon this place. That's all." He replied innocently.

"Ah no, don't tell me your staying near here?"

He nodded.

"Damn it! You did this on purpose didn't you? You decided that since I refused to come back you would stalk me again instead! Ah this is unbelievable! You know most people would get the hint and piss off when they're told that they're hated, but no, you just had to be a stubborn bastard didn't you?" she yelled, flapping her arms around in agitation and sending water shooting around in all directions.

"Ah it's good to know you've begun to control your anger." He answered sarcastically.

"Fuck you Hao!"

He smirked. "You wish."

"Oh that's disgusting, you're disgusting! Just go away already." She said, stomping out of the lake and shaking the water out of her hair before trudging back towards the lodge. She flung the door open, ignored the fact that Hao was still following her and that Rosie was sat on the floor of the living room with a confused look on her face, marched into her room, and slammed the door shut behind her.

Rosie and Hao stared at the door for a moment, before Rosie turned her gaze back to the fire shaman.

"Hello Hao." She greeted indifferently.

Hao nodded in response.

"Rosie, don't be civil with that bastard! Tell him to piss off!" Shinji called from her room.

"Shinji would like for me to tell you to pi-"

"No wait, Rosie don't say that! You're not old enough to swear! Just tell him to get lost!"

"All right, Shinji would like for you to get lost." She repeated.

Hao chuckled at that. "Well then Rosie, could you tell Shinji that I don't feel like leaving just yet?"

"Hao said that he does not feel like leaving just yet."

"Well you can tell Hao that he's an as- I mean a big meanie and he's not welcome here."

"Shinji said-"

"Yes Rosie, I heard what she said. Would you mind going out to play for a while? I would like to talk to Shinji in private." He asked pleasantly.

Rosie nodded and picked up her cat plushie. "All right, but if I walk in and find you both making out I am not going to cook tonight." She threatened, walking out of the house and closing the door behind her.

An uncomfortable silence filled the room, and Hao found himself staring at the door to Shinji's room.

"You know you're going to have to come out sometime." He called.

"I will. When you're gone." Came the stubborn reply.

"Then how are you going to find out what my medium is if you don't ever see me?"

"I can work it out perfectly fine from in here!"

"Really?"

"Yes really."

Hao smirked and walked towards the door, reaching out for the handle when Shinji voice snapped out from the other side:

"Don't even try it! I'm not letting you in."

"Is that so?"

"Your damn right!"

Hao's smirk grew. He was always up for a challenge. In an instant fire consumed him, and he had teleported himself into her room.

Shinji jumped at the sudden sight of him, and then a frown etched into her pretty face. She was sat in front of the door in the futile attempt to keep the bastard out, and there he was, effortlessly invading her personal space, with the same arrogant smirk on his face that drove her completely insane. Was the idea of privacy a foreign concept to this guy?

"Did you really think sitting there would keep me out?" he mocked, raising an eyebrow.

"Well it's not like I have a lock for this door. And besides, most decent People take the hint and piss off when I tell them to."

"Well I guess I'm not most decent people am I."

"You're not decent, period."

"Touché."

"What are you doing here Hao? Don't you have other people to bother? Don't your fan club miss you when you're not around?"

"I suppose they do, but I think it's more important for me to be here don't you think?"

Shinji sighed, rubbing at her oncoming migraine. "Will you please, just go away Hao? I'm really not in the mood for your games right now."

"All right then, I'll make you a deal." Hao said, catching Shinji's full attention.

Shinji gave him a suspicious look. "What kind of deal?"

"If you can figure out what my medium is before nightfall tomorrow, then I will only come around and bother you when it's completely necessary."

"And if I can't?"

"Then I come over whenever I want, and you have to put up with it without complaining."

Shinji thought about it for a moment. It would kill her not to complain if she lost, but since he was obviously going to come around all the time if she didn't accept the challenge then there wasn't really much to lose, and almost everything to gain. But did she really not want to see him?

"Alright, I'll do it."

Hao smiled secretly, and suddenly she wasn't so sure anymore. But there was no way she was going to back down now. She would take whatever he could throw at her, and she would win.
