Like Fire Like Water, Yin Yang Twins


Bi smirked and gesture for his underlings to attack Yoh and Hao, who are too strong for the weaker vampire. Hao was training Yoh real hard after all, vampires are nothing to them now. In a few minutes, all vampires under Bi's order is turned to dust, since Lin is reinforced both of the twin's swords with fire.

Seeing that Bi is alone now, Yoh nod at Hao, Hao nod back and lift his hand. Yoh is wrapped by fire and vanished. Hao charge at Bi without a word, but Bi is not as easy to defeat as the other vampires.

Bi form a sword from fire and clash with Hao.


Yoh arrives at Funbari Inn, "Are you the one that named Asakura Yoh?" Yoh turned and meeting with so many blue eyes vampires, "We are from Fuyu clan, we are here to take you to our Leader's resting place." One of them stretch out his hand, Yoh nod and accept the hand.

Yoh is taken to a long tunnel that formed by ice, "Do all vampires have magic power?" Yoh asks curiously.

"No." One of them answered, "Only a few who are strong can use magic, that's why we protect our leader, and our leader will protect us. But Bi opposed the idea, he thinks that only the strong have the right to live".

"I see." Yoh said calmly, they walk until they are in front of a large crystal glass that has a symbol all over it, "This is the place, isn't it?".

"Yes, please your help, Asakura Yoh." The vampire said politely, "We promise we won't hurt any human anymore".

"Yeah." Yoh said and touch the glass, he move his hand to make the symbol of crossed infinity, "Be free, the vampire of winter, Fuyu no Mai." He said with a voice full of authority, "I, as the one from Asakura Clan release you from your seal, awaken!".

The crystal glowing a bright shine, then the crystal shattered to piece, a girl with white hair and white kimono adorned by sakura pattern floating down before Yoh, she smile warmly at him, "Mai." Yoh said gently with a calm smile.


"Kh!" Bi growled when he was kicked hard and sent flying backward, "What the heck, I never heard human can be this strong".

"Not ordinary human or Shaman though." Hao smirk while he charge again, "I'm Hao Asakura, this is my third life, how? Because I'm an expert of cheating death." He swing his sword to Bi.

"That's nonsense, even vampire can't cheat death!" Bi clash his sword again, "And normal human can't stand my fire!".

Hao jump back, "Don't you see this wings?" he asks and fly in the sky, he make a fireball on his hand and shot it to Bi.

Bi hit the fireball away, "My power is Fire, you can't win against me, Fire Shaman." Bi growled again when he jump and swing his red sword.

"Lin is has Demon blood in her when she was alive, and Shaman is a person who can bring spirit's ability come to live." Hao said and get Lin back to Hitodama form, "Hyoui gattai, Lin." Hao pressed Lin's Hitodama to his chest, he merge with Lin.

"So what?!" Bi shot a big fireball to him, which he absorb to his hand, "What?!".

"As I said, Lin has Demon power when she was alive, and as a Shaman, I can bring that power come back to live." Hao said with a smirk, "For your information, until Yoh and Lin opened my eyes to the light, I was called Demon myself." Hao's eyes glints dangerously, "Die." Hao move to stab his fire wrapped Onigoroshi on Bi's chest.


"Yoh." Mai called with a grin, "Thank you." Then she hold Yoh's right hand with her left hand, "As a thank you, I will give you a power. It's a Demonic power like mine though, but if it's you, even Demonic power can save people." She grinning at Yoh.

"Thank you, Mai." Yoh said when Mai's right hand glow over Yoh's chest.


"What?!" Hao yelped when he get into fire from Bi, his sword went right to Bi's chest, but bi's body turn into fire and get bigger the more Hao shot him using fire.

"As I said, I'm Fire, you as Fire using Shaman can't win against me." Bi said with eye's that full of red color.

It's good that I can protect myself from fire thanks to my affinity, but I can't kill him. Hao thought with frustration, he charge at Bi again, but Bi can't be cut with sword since his body is Fire now.

"Fire can't defeat Fire alone, Hao." Yoh's voice make his eyes wide, he turn to his left, "I will help you".

Yoh appear from the whirling of water, "Yoh." Hao said happily, "Seems like you got a nice power".

Yoh grin, "Mai gave them to me as a thanks for freed her." Yoh answer and shot Bi's firey form with a blast of water, "The power of water which able to balance fire". Bi's firey form turn back to his original one, "Now, Hao, as long as my water is on him, you can stab him with your firey sword".

"Nice one." Hao said and stab Bi immediately, Bi can't turn into fire again and get burn from Hao's fire. Hao look at Yoh, who smiles at him, Hao smiles back and look at the arena direction, "Shall we went back there?".

Yoh hold Hao's right hand with his left one, "We have another fight, with Shaman ability this time." Yoh said with a grin, Hao nod and together, they went back to the arena.


Hao and Yoh arrives back at the arena in the stadium with a burst of fire, they find themselves facing the screen which show the place they fight just now.

"Such a good fight." Jeanne said from behind them, "You have demonic power too now, Asakura Yoh".

The twins turn and get their Oversouls ready in an instant and evade the attack from Shamash, they get into fighting stance immediately and charge at Jeanne and Marco, Lynch is taken care by Anna in a flash.

The battle is last in a rather short time, Yoh fight against Marco while Hao against Jeanne. Yoh defeated Marco once, so he don't have any problem at all, Hao is the same, he is the strongest Shaman after all.

"Hao! You stupid!" Yoh yelled as he drop a large amount of water to the ground, "What will you do if the edge of our scarfs get caught in fire?!".

"Not my fire!" Hao yelled back, "That's the fire from Marco's Oversoul when it get destroyed! It's your fault!".

"No! I thought you can control the damage!" Yoh yelled back and raise his hand up above head, the water fly to the sky, "You burn Shamash too, what if the fire get outside the arena?!" Yoh shot the water to the burning Shamash.

"Oh, please." Hao said in frustration, "The barrier this ring has is strong, remember when Venstar blow up the grenade along with the arena? It's safe to get a bit rough when fighting against this fellow".

Yoh walk over and smack Hao on top of his head, "You get fired up by your own emotion, aren't you?" he asks with a huff, "You get pissed off when you remember that they attacked me all this time, I understand that, but please you remember that in the past you were no better".

Hao get taken aback, he gulped an nod, he look gloomy again, "Look here, we will talk later." Yoh said gently, "Now, help me, where should I take this water away?".

Hao raise an eyebrow, "Just drop them on the sewer." He said calmly.

"What the?" They look up when Lyserg shocked voice rang.

"No way, Yoh has the power of water?" Horo Horo commented

"Not only that, baka, he is as strong as Hao!" Ren exclaimed, hitting the top of Horo Horo's head.

"Not to mention that Yoh-kun is scolding Hao just now." Faust add with whispery voice.

"They just get along well." Anna said coldly, "They are twins after all, and anyone here wants to bad-mouth them will face me, Hao is changed already". A breeze of cold wind blowing over her threat, causing everyone to shiver.

Yoh and Hao shrugged together, then they look at Radim, "They are alive, please treat their injury, but we want their power is sealed for the time being." They said together again, making Radim nod with complex expression.
