____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________
Author's Numbered Notes:
1) First, I would want to say 'SANKYUU!' to all the people who reviewed the previous chapters of this fic! I'm really grateful to: you all know who you are.
Also, I would just like to sincerely apologize for the sluggish update. Eheh. Yes, I know that this has been on hiatus for almost 2 months. But don't worry that won't happen again, I assure you. Yeah. Next time it's on hiatus, it will be for 3 months or so! Kidding!!! I was just busy with something else. I'm soo, soo, soo sorry! I realy, really am! Gosh. (^^)*
2) As for the pairing, it's HaoxAnnaxYoh actually. Some of you may know already that I support both Yona and Hana. I just love those 2 too much.
Also, I will include Ren/Pilika and Horo/Tamao here. Uhm, no other couplings will be involved for I support only these pairings. And these alone will do for me.
No offense meant to those who support the other pairings of course! Heh. (^^,)*
3) Lastly, OOCness is present in this fic. Also complete silliness. And when I say silliness, I mean complete!
Kiiro's brain: (in downloading status)
Hmm, that didn't sound right, ah, but you do know what I mean, right? Btw, I decided to rate this a PG-13, eheh. It won't reach the rating R though, I swear. = )
____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________
Kiiro puts up a poster that says: No (Stupid) Introductory Paragraph For This Chapter.
Ren (Reads the writings on the poster): Good! And if I ever hear any more of Hao's narcissistic annotations again, I swear! I'll! I'll! I'll kill Opacho!
Ren takes his weapon out and glowers at Opacho.
Horo-Horo (Wails around while he flails his arms like an idiot): Wah! Arigatou gosaimasu Kami-sama! No more intro's! Arigatou! Arigatou! Arigatou! Ariga---Ooomph!
Horo-Horo suddenly bumps into a light post that appeared out of nowhere and blackouts. But he immediately regains consciousness and stands up to wail around some more.
Opacho (Cowers behind Hao): Ehhh!? Hao-sama! Why will swordfish-snout head guy kill Opacho, when Hao-sama is the one he really hates!?
Hao (Holds a seemingly heavy & long bathroom mirror with his hands): Hah. That's simple. Ren knows that Kiiro will immediately kill him if he does anything bad to me!---Or worse!
Opacho: Ehhh!? Worse!? What you mean Hao-sama!?
Hao (Looks at his reflection on the mirror while doing different kawaii facial expressions): Heh. She'll make sure that Ren and Horo-Horo kiss each other's a**sE$ if they try anything on me!
Ren: . . .
Horo-Horo (Suddenly stops from wailing and looks at Ren): Hao, Didn't mean it. Literally. Did he?
Hao (Looks at the Ainu as he raises one of his brows and smirks while still holding the bathroom mirror of course): You obviously don't know the girl we're talking about here, now do you Boro-Boro?
Ren and Horo-Horo (Who didn't even notice the mispronunciation of his name this time!?) looks at each other with weird faces.
Ren and Horo-Horo: (0_o)!
Hao then forcefully shoves the heavy & long mirror inside the small pocket of his pants, which is studded *with panda faces* instead of stars.
Everyone (Gasps): (0_o)!
Hao (Looking smug): Heh. You have *no* idea what else can fit inside my pants!
Everyone (Gasps again): (0_o)!!!
Hao (Now shouts with the veins in his temples bulging as he realizes why everyone is utterly surprised): Godammit! What!? What are you all looking at!? This pair of pants is just a faux *I know*! But it's not my fault if my genuine ultra-cool-and-starry trousers are still at the laundry shop! Okay!?
Hao throws a death glare at Kiiro that says: Your pathetic existence will be the price for making me wear this fake pants, you human!!!
Kiiro waves the keyboard and gives Hao a smirk that says: I may be a pathetic human, but let's not forget who's still the author in this fic, hai?
Kiiro then gives a whistle and a very much blushing Ryu instantly appears by her side with a bizarre kind of gaze directed to Hao.
Hao suddenly flips his hair and uncontrollably speaks out with a girly tone in his voice. He then puts one of his hands on his waist with the other continuously twirling a lock of his hair.
Hao: Like! Eeeeew!? Oh puh-leeze! *Anything* but that!---That!---That wretched thing! I mean like, keep it *away* from me! Eew, eew, eew! As in! Like me and him!? No way! Nah uh! Like, I don't think so! Major *freak* out! Like as in!? My gawd!
Hao (gains control of his body once more then gets the message and just gives a very forced smile to the author): Ahem. Right. I think I'll prefer my previous role, thank you very much. So, where was I? Oh yes.
Hao suddenly puts up a 'kawaii' face and begins to chatter like a small kid while skipping in circles surrounding the other characters.
Hao: Wee! With or without intro's and cool pants! That doesn't change the fact that I will forever! And ever! And ever be the most worshipped! And! The most kawaii person around here! Ne Opacho!? Wee!
Opacho (Follows Hao's lead and skips around while throwing multicolored, scented confetti from a basket): Hai Hao-sama! Wee! Hao-sama will forever! And ever! And ever be the most worshipped! And! The most kawaii person in the entire world! Wee!
Hao suddenly stops from skipping and Opacho rams her head unto the cheeks of his butt.
Hao (Turns around and looks at Opacho grimly): Opacho. . .?
Opacho (shakes her dazed head to clear her vision while she thinks): Waaah!!! Sugoi!!!---Hao-sama owns *real* buns of steel!!! (^-^)*
Opacho (suddenly looks at her master and gets scared): H-hai, H-hao-sama? . . . Uh, oh! Ummm, I mean in the entire universe!!!
Hao (Immediately puts up a wide grin once more): Naturally! Hee, hee, hee!
Chocolove was about to say something when Hao immediately socks his mouth with a 'lego block' like shoe.
Chocolove: Umph!!! Umph, umph!!! Umph, umph, umph!!!
Horo-Horo and Ren appear out of nowhere and sock Opacho's mouth with a bunch of coltsfoot leaves.
Horo-Horo: At least we'll be able to let our emotional stress out on someone!!!
Ren (Looks at the midget like a mad man): Die! Hao! Die!
Opacho: Ummmmmmmmmph!!!
Hao: Gomen ne Opacho! But! As Kiiro would always put it! Better you than me! Hee, hee, hee!
Yoh: Aww, poor Opacho, but I think she's never gonna get that line right, ne Anna?
Anna: (Taunting glare mode). (Bloodcurdling glare mode). (Completely Homicidal glare mode).
Yoh (Stepping away from the itako): Eheheh. . . Eheh . . . Heh. . . Right.
Kiiro: Hahahah! Sorry about that Yoh-kun! We'll work on Anna-sama's attitude in the next chappie, I promise! But for now. . .
Kiiro (Turns to look at the readers): So without further ado, I *finally* present to you, the third chapter of 'Thy Kingdom Come'!
But, still my will be done in this fic of course!
And with that, I bid you all: EnJoY !!!

Thy Kingdom Come.
By Kiiro Asakura.
____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________
Four thirty in the morning. A group of people has been gathered at the inner front gates of the Asakura ancestral mansion.
Ren (With his sword like hair growing longer and longer due to his morning grouchiness): Kisama! I'm gonna kill that Yoh for making me come here this early in the morning!
Pilika gawks at Ren's hair and then audibly giggles. Luckily Ren didn't notice this. So Horo-Horo just bonks his younger sister on the head lightly with his hand.
Chocolove (Puts his arm around Ren's neck): Sigh. I'm with you there Ren. I'm supposed to be snoring at this time of day, isn't that right Mic?--- Yeeouch!!!
Ren (Suddenly points his glaive at Chocolove's nose): Get. Your. Arm. Off. Me. You, you, you!---Grrr!---Zzzzzzz.
Ren suddenly snores with his brows furrowed and eyes slightly opened while standing.
Horo-Horo (Whispers loudly to Chocolove who is still rubbing his pricked and swollen nose): Psst. Chocolove, I don't think Ren's fully awake yet, do you?
Chocolove (Rubs his chin): Hmm, you know what? . . . I think your right!
Lyserg (Looks at the two shamans incredulously): No, you don't say! How can you possibly tell?
Ryu (Looks at the two shamans inquiringly): Yeah, how can you possibly tell that Horo-Horo?
Lyserg just rolls his eyes at all of his companions.
Faust looks at the four shamans and just chuckles as he turns his attention back to his lovely Eliza.
Horo-Horo was about to explain his deduction to Ryu and Lyserg when an interruption suddenly occurred.
Manta: Ano, minna! Yoh-kun and Tamao-chan are here!
Horo-Horo (Yawns out loud while stretching): Well, it's about time you two showed up!
Yoh (Smirks like he usually does): Eheh, minna, gomen for the wait! We had to make sure Anna stays asleep while we did the preparations.
Tamao stands beside her fiancé. She then smiles and bows before all of their guests. But then, her eyes met those of the male Ainu. The Ainu gave her a smirk. And for a while, she has been put into a trance by this and his tantalizing gaze. She too has given him a cordial smile.
Horo-Horo (Unconsciously grins at Tamao as he thinks): Sigh. Finally! My hours of travel are going to be all worth it! I'll be able to eat another one of Tamao's delicious strawberry boat tarts! Yay!
Tamao then realizes that they've both been staring at each other for quite some time now. So she immediately turns her attention to her fiancé.
Tamao (Looks from Yoh to the other guests as she avoids to stare at the Ainu and then speaks in a very high tone of voice): H-hai, gomen ne minna. Anyway, um, Anna mustn't know that you're all here already, so please, please keep it down. Onegai.
Everybody nods in comprehension of the girl's statement.
Because just like her, all of Yoh's friends have chosen to participate in the so-called Asakura tradition. For what reason? Nobody knows except for themselves. At least not for now.
Horo-Horo (Elbows Ren while whispering): Psst. Ren, Wake up.
Ren (Still snores while standing with his eyes slightly opened): Zzzzz.
Horo-Horo (Suddenly slaps Ren's back and shouts): Oi Ren! Didn't you hear what I just said!? I said wake up! Yoh and Tamao are here already!!!
Ren (Suddenly jolts and yells): Kisama!!! We're being attacked!!! BASON!!! HYOUI GATTAI IN BASON-TOU!!! GOLDEN CHUUKA ZANMAI!!!
Everybody then runs for cover as Ren ensues with his abrupt rampage.
Manta (With a pair of wide eyes and dropped jaws): Wah! Ren's gone berserk!
Ryu (Suddenly lifts Lyserg on his shoulders): Here! I'll save you Lyserg- kun!
Lyserg suddenly gets out of Ryu's grip and jumps off his shoulders. He then gets hold of a nearby boulder and lifts it up as if it was made of Styrofoam.
Lyserg (Throws the gigantic rock at Ryu): Kisama! I swear! If you ever touch me like that again! I'm gonna kill you baka! I'm already having enough rumors about my identity crisis without you adding up to them! Okay!?
Ryu (Is literally flattened by the huge stone that has been thrown onto him): . . . . . . . .!
Manta and Chocolove are hiding behind a bush with a shocked expression hanging on their faces as they have witnessed the occurrence between the dowser and the owner of the wooden sword.
Chocolove: Hmm, I wonder what Lyserg meant by that!?
Manta: (0_o)!
Meanwhile, Faust and Eliza are somewhere hiding behind a huge tree. They're together hiding there. They were there with darkness enveloping them. There was nobody else seeing them but their selves. Well, got the point? Good. 'cause according to my discretion, that's all you need to know.
Then, out of nowhere, Pilika appears with a bucket of iced water and throws its contents at the raging Tao.
SPLASH!
Ren finally gains consciousness and stops from creating havoc as his whole body shivers due to the subzero temperature his body has just been recently exposed to.
Ren (Glares at Pilika as he notices her holding an empty bucket): Kisama! What the hell do you think you're doing, you stupid kid!?
Pilika then has her forehead creased due to the Tao's harsh words.
Pilika (Throws the bucket squarely at the Ren's head): Hmph! The least thing you could do is to say thanks! I just stopped you from committing a serious crime! And for your information! You're the stupid one here! What kind of a smart person would sleep with his eyes open while standing anyway!?
Ren (Blocks the bucket easily with his forearm as his hair closely reaches its elongation limits): Kuso!!! Somebody stop me or else I'm gonna murder this stupid little brat! I swear, I really will!!!
Horo-Horo (Suddenly stands in front of her sister with a grim expression on his face): Hey now. Nobody calls my little sister a 'brat' but me.
The two shamans were about to engage into a serious verbal clash when Yoh has stood in between all of a suddedn.
Yoh (Speaks with a very calm voice as he looks at his friends): Ne, minna, why don't we all just go inside the house and rest first. I know you're all tired from your trip so it'll be really relaxing if you just lie down on bed for several hours. Anyway, it's only five in the morning. Breakfast will be at eight. You still have plenty of time to regain your strength. So let's all keep our heads cool for now, hai?
Yoh then smiles at everyone and then at Tamao.
Tamao nods and looks at her fiancé with much reverence then her gaze falls on the Ainu once again.
Tamao (Thinks): Sigh. Horo-Horo is really protective of his sister.
Her thoughts suddenly searched for the person who treats her just like the way the older Ainu does to the younger one. But then. Her thoughts have gone blank.
Tamao (Is taken out of her reverie as she looks at Yoh with a somewhat poignant expression and turns her head to his friends): Hai, minna, we have prepared your rooms already. Please follow us inside the house now so we may show you to your rooms.
Yoh and Tamao have turned their backs to their guests and went further inside the gates to show their friends the way to their house.
Ren and Horo-Horo have then realized that the new couple was right. They therefore decided to ignore each other for the meantime and let their little argument pass.
Ren has pick up his things and shot a glance at Pilika who stuck out her tongue at him. Horo-Horo then pulled the female Ainu's hand to prevent her from angering the Tao once again.
Manta, Ryu (Yes, he got out of the boulder because Yoh, Manta, and Chocolove helped him.) Chocolove, Lyserg and Faust (The gang almost forgot about him but luckily, they heard a moan (!?) from where he was hiding and, so they called out for him.) have then picked their stuff up and carried them as they quietly followed Yoh and Tamao into the house.
____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________
Now, let's do a little rewind here. About three fifty in the morning. The Shaman King had then busied himself with the preparations for the arrival of his friends. Everyone in the Asakura mansion, including the helpers, Asakura Yohmei, Kino, and Mikihisa, as well as Tamao were already awake and readying things that will be involved for the traditional rites which will take place on that day.
Meanwhile, while all of the people were busy with their duties, none of them had discerned an intruder entering their vicinity.
____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________
Inside the itako's room. Anna's dream had just shifted from her sharing not just one but two kisses with her fiancé to a wedding ceremony that was taking place on a nice and cloudy day inside a vast yard, which looked very familiar to her.
Anna (Thinks while dreaming): Hmm, this dream again. Sigh. Yoh. You'll have to give me 10 more kilometers on your run for invading my dreams.
Anna's vision showed an aisle with a red carpet and an altar right at the middle of a gazebo at the center of the garden. It was surrounded with gold flower stands with crystal vases on top of them. Inside the vases were fresh, fragrant red and white roses.
The itako then felt herself walking towards the altar where a young man stood while waiting. His stature was that of an 18 year old or maybe younger. He was wearing a traditional white kimono and had his back facing her. Her vision told her that she was getting closer and closer to the altar.
So she took a step, 2 steps, 3, 4, 5 steps, 6, 7, 8 steps and she was finally there. The young man then turned to face her. Sure enough, it was her Yoh. He looked so handsome as he gave her a smile with much more happiness than the usual ones he puts on his face.
The shaman soon reached his hand out to the itako and she willingly took it without taking her gaze off his lovely face.
Then. All of a sudden. Yoh's facial expression had changed. It had then turned into a fear-provoking one. His eyes became full of malevolence. His warm smile had turned into a wicked grin and his gentle grip on her hand had become agonizing.
____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________
At the very same time that the itako was dreaming, a figure was then seated in front of a bonfire deep with in a forest. But the bonfire was not an ordinary one for its flames were of the deep cerulean color.
Figure (With a solemn voice): Good. Now, let her go and make them feel your presence instead. Until I tell you to leave, you shall stay there. Is that understood?
A small voice: Hai Hao-sama.
The fire soon flickered and grew dramatically bigger to take the form of a girl. The increase in the fire's magnitude had then showed the identity of the figure settled before it. The figure of course was none other than Asakura Hao.
Hao (Grins mischievously): Ah, and so it begins, my dear, sweet itako.
____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________
Meanwhile, we go back to Anna's dream.
Anna (Yells in her dream): What the!? Yoh!? What's going on!? This isn't the way this dream is supposed to go!!!
The Yoh in her dream then lets a shrill laugh that made Anna realize she was having a nightmare and not a dream. She soon mentally ordered her body to wake up, over and over again, but it would not obey her. She screamed and screamed but no body came to wake her up.
The surroundings then became very dark. Storm clouds seem to gather above them suddenly and the once bright and beautiful sky was no more. And the next thing she knew, Yoh was already holding his Harusame. He then stared at the itako with a deranged expression and an evil smirk.
Anna (Tells the Yoh in her nightmare as she tries to get away from its grip): W-what are you looking at me like that for!? And what are you doing with that sword on our wedding!? Take that back to where it came from you idiot!---Oh damn it! This is useless!
The itako suddenly reverts to commanding her brain to wake her body up already or else. Not only would she get to eat sashimi for her dream wedding, she would actually get to be the wretched dish herself!
But still, her mental instructions served as a waste of time. Yoh then held Anna's hand tighter and pulled her closer to him.
He raised his sword. And as if in slow motion, she saw the sword coming straight at her.
Anna (Closes her eyes and screams): Aah!!! Damn it! How dare you do this to me on my wedding, you jerk!
And just when the shaman's sword was about to make contact with her neck,
Everything had gone black and silent.
The itako waited for the blow but then realized that it wasn't going to come anymore.
Anna opened her eyes and saw nothing but darkness.
Anna (says out loud): Am I awake already?
A mysterious voice then speaks up.
Mysterious voice: No, I'm afraid not, Anna. You're not awake yet. But still, aren't you glad Yoh didn't kill you in that dream?
The itako turned her head around but still saw nothing but the dark as she heard the familiar voice.
Anna (keeps a calm voice): What's going on? Who are you? Why don't you show yourself? Or are you just too much of a coward to do that?
Suddenly, a huge bonfire appeared out of nowhere and revealed Asakura Hao to be sitting in front of it.
Anna (Stifles a gasp as she speaks with a disdained tone in her voice): Asakura Hao.
Hao (Smiles at the itako warmly): Hahahah. Yes, but I can still remember my name, you know. This body of mine isn't *that* old to suffer from Alzheimer's disease. Anyway, you were saying?
Anna (Keeps her stoic expression in place): What are you doing in my dream?
Hao (Suddenly appears at Anna's backside): I just wanted to tell you something.
Anna, although utterly surprised by the shaman's movement, turned to face Hao and maintain a face of placidity.
Anna: I am sure that I'll find nothing interesting in anything that you will tell me.
Hao then smirked at the itako as her eyes met his.
Hao: Heh. How do you know? You haven't even heard it yet.
Anna: I just know it.
Hao: Ah, so you're the all knowing itako no Anna eh? Hahahah.
Anna (with a stern voice): Shut up. And get out of my dream. Now.
The shaman then stepped closer to the itako.
Anna opted to take a step further from him but then fathomed that she could not.
Hao took another step closer to her. Again, she wanted to turn around and walk away from him, but still, she simply could not. She soon realized that she could not speak out loud as well. A trace of fear was then seen on the girl's face.
Hao (Now with a low and serious voice): You seem to be dreadfully confused here Anna. *This* is not your dream. It is mine. Therefore, *I* am the one who controls everything that happens here, and not you. Do you understand?
The shaman was now very close to Anna. In fact, his body was pressing onto the itako's somewhat paralyzed body. He had one of his arms around her waist. The other was holding her chin tenderly to make her have an eye contact with him. But then, he vehemently pulled her face closer to his.
Hao: And I am not going to let you out of my dream until you hear what I have to say.
And with a swift movement, the shaman has tilted his head forward and kissed the itako full on the lips. He had forced a very passionate kiss on her. He then embraced her obsessively this time as he opened her lips with his tongue.
Anna just stood there with her eyes wide open because of complete shock. Since she could not do anything about it, she just closed her eyes as tears have freely flowed out of them. The kiss lasted for quite a while.
And when it was finished,
Hao (Whispers to Anna's ear with a sulky voice): I just want you to know that if you ever need somebody to talk to, I'll be here for you. You know how to find me.
The shaman then backed a few steps away from Anna. And the moment he had done this, the ability to move and speak at will was returned to the girl. And so. . .
SLAP!
Hao had then received a very powerful slap from the itako whose eyes are now evidently full of fury.
Anna (Says through gritted teeth): You. Bastard.
Hao (Rubs the mark on his face as he smiles at the itako fondly): Heh. I'm sorry to leave you hanging and disappointed. We'll just do it again some other time, I promise. But for now, that's all I have to tell you. Anyway, we shall meet again. I am sure of that. And tonight will not be a bad time, I can tell.
The itako was about to say something when Hao has once again spoken.
Hao: And with that my dear Anna, I shall bid you. . .
'Kisama!!! We're being attacked!!!'
All of a sudden, the itako had jolted into a sitting position on her futon.
And the noises from outside her window, had at last fully awoken her.
A familiar voice (bellows): BASON!!! HYOUI GATTAI IN BASON-TOU!!! GOLDEN CHUUKA ZANMAI!!!
____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________
In the forest, the once roaring azure flames have died down. And the small servant of the powerful shaman then returned by his side.
Opacho (Looks sleepy): Hao-sama, is everything okay now?
Hao (Smiles at the child): Ah, yes, Opacho, you may go to sleep now, ariogatou.
Opacho (Smiles back at her master): Hai Hao-sama, it is nothing.
Hao (Looks at the direction of the Asakura mansion with a smile): Get as much sleep as you want this morning Opacho, you'll be coming to that house again later tonight.
But Opacho did not reply for she has already fallen deep into sleep.
~ Tsuzuku ~
____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________
~ Heh. Another spoiler ne? Anna has not yet found out about the cancellation of her engagement to Yoh in this chappie, but she will in the next one, I pwomise!
~ Sorry, if I got the terms wrong, like the one that Ren said. Blame it all on my stupid copy of the SK anime series. It's not an original copy. So naturally, the subtitles are all twisted. Grr.
~ Lacks originality in here too, with the dream sequence and all, yeah too common, I know. But my brain squeezer got broken, that's why I wasn't able to extract sufficient amounts of creative juices. Uhm, sowee about that. I'll just try to buy another one if I get to a store that sells those things, don't worry . . . (^^s)*
~ Btw, please send me reviews. Those serve as an encouragement for me to update sooner. You can flame me all you want but please make it sensible, yes? Meaning, don't just curse me without telling why I got cursed. Geez. And, uhm, expound on your grounds for flaming please, I mean, don't elaborate *too much* on the printed head bashing phrases. That way, I'd actually *know* which part of the fic I need to improve on. So please be a responsible flamer. Eheh. Yeah that's all. (^^s)*
~ And yes, I'll update sooner too! I swear! If I don't, then by all means! I'll let a clan of Siberian Dwarf Warehamsters bite me and turn me into one of them! Heh.
~ So 'tis all for now! Thanks for reading this chapter! Until next time! Ja!!! = )

Author's Numbered Notes:
1) First, I would want to say 'SANKYUU!' to all the people who reviewed the previous chapters of this fic! I'm really grateful to: you all know who you are.
Also, I would just like to sincerely apologize for the sluggish update. Eheh. Yes, I know that this has been on hiatus for almost 2 months. But don't worry that won't happen again, I assure you. Yeah. Next time it's on hiatus, it will be for 3 months or so! Kidding!!! I was just busy with something else. I'm soo, soo, soo sorry! I realy, really am! Gosh. (^^)*
2) As for the pairing, it's HaoxAnnaxYoh actually. Some of you may know already that I support both Yona and Hana. I just love those 2 too much.
Also, I will include Ren/Pilika and Horo/Tamao here. Uhm, no other couplings will be involved for I support only these pairings. And these alone will do for me.
No offense meant to those who support the other pairings of course! Heh. (^^,)*
3) Lastly, OOCness is present in this fic. Also complete silliness. And when I say silliness, I mean complete!
Kiiro's brain: (in downloading status)
Hmm, that didn't sound right, ah, but you do know what I mean, right? Btw, I decided to rate this a PG-13, eheh. It won't reach the rating R though, I swear. = )
____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________
Kiiro puts up a poster that says: No (Stupid) Introductory Paragraph For This Chapter.
Ren (Reads the writings on the poster): Good! And if I ever hear any more of Hao's narcissistic annotations again, I swear! I'll! I'll! I'll kill Opacho!
Ren takes his weapon out and glowers at Opacho.
Horo-Horo (Wails around while he flails his arms like an idiot): Wah! Arigatou gosaimasu Kami-sama! No more intro's! Arigatou! Arigatou! Arigatou! Ariga---Ooomph!
Horo-Horo suddenly bumps into a light post that appeared out of nowhere and blackouts. But he immediately regains consciousness and stands up to wail around some more.
Opacho (Cowers behind Hao): Ehhh!? Hao-sama! Why will swordfish-snout head guy kill Opacho, when Hao-sama is the one he really hates!?
Hao (Holds a seemingly heavy & long bathroom mirror with his hands): Hah. That's simple. Ren knows that Kiiro will immediately kill him if he does anything bad to me!---Or worse!
Opacho: Ehhh!? Worse!? What you mean Hao-sama!?
Hao (Looks at his reflection on the mirror while doing different kawaii facial expressions): Heh. She'll make sure that Ren and Horo-Horo kiss each other's a**sE$ if they try anything on me!
Ren: . . .
Horo-Horo (Suddenly stops from wailing and looks at Ren): Hao, Didn't mean it. Literally. Did he?
Hao (Looks at the Ainu as he raises one of his brows and smirks while still holding the bathroom mirror of course): You obviously don't know the girl we're talking about here, now do you Boro-Boro?
Ren and Horo-Horo (Who didn't even notice the mispronunciation of his name this time!?) looks at each other with weird faces.
Ren and Horo-Horo: (0_o)!
Hao then forcefully shoves the heavy & long mirror inside the small pocket of his pants, which is studded *with panda faces* instead of stars.
Everyone (Gasps): (0_o)!
Hao (Looking smug): Heh. You have *no* idea what else can fit inside my pants!
Everyone (Gasps again): (0_o)!!!
Hao (Now shouts with the veins in his temples bulging as he realizes why everyone is utterly surprised): Godammit! What!? What are you all looking at!? This pair of pants is just a faux *I know*! But it's not my fault if my genuine ultra-cool-and-starry trousers are still at the laundry shop! Okay!?
Hao throws a death glare at Kiiro that says: Your pathetic existence will be the price for making me wear this fake pants, you human!!!
Kiiro waves the keyboard and gives Hao a smirk that says: I may be a pathetic human, but let's not forget who's still the author in this fic, hai?
Kiiro then gives a whistle and a very much blushing Ryu instantly appears by her side with a bizarre kind of gaze directed to Hao.
Hao suddenly flips his hair and uncontrollably speaks out with a girly tone in his voice. He then puts one of his hands on his waist with the other continuously twirling a lock of his hair.
Hao: Like! Eeeeew!? Oh puh-leeze! *Anything* but that!---That!---That wretched thing! I mean like, keep it *away* from me! Eew, eew, eew! As in! Like me and him!? No way! Nah uh! Like, I don't think so! Major *freak* out! Like as in!? My gawd!
Hao (gains control of his body once more then gets the message and just gives a very forced smile to the author): Ahem. Right. I think I'll prefer my previous role, thank you very much. So, where was I? Oh yes.
Hao suddenly puts up a 'kawaii' face and begins to chatter like a small kid while skipping in circles surrounding the other characters.
Hao: Wee! With or without intro's and cool pants! That doesn't change the fact that I will forever! And ever! And ever be the most worshipped! And! The most kawaii person around here! Ne Opacho!? Wee!
Opacho (Follows Hao's lead and skips around while throwing multicolored, scented confetti from a basket): Hai Hao-sama! Wee! Hao-sama will forever! And ever! And ever be the most worshipped! And! The most kawaii person in the entire world! Wee!
Hao suddenly stops from skipping and Opacho rams her head unto the cheeks of his butt.
Hao (Turns around and looks at Opacho grimly): Opacho. . .?
Opacho (shakes her dazed head to clear her vision while she thinks): Waaah!!! Sugoi!!!---Hao-sama owns *real* buns of steel!!! (^-^)*
Opacho (suddenly looks at her master and gets scared): H-hai, H-hao-sama? . . . Uh, oh! Ummm, I mean in the entire universe!!!
Hao (Immediately puts up a wide grin once more): Naturally! Hee, hee, hee!
Chocolove was about to say something when Hao immediately socks his mouth with a 'lego block' like shoe.
Chocolove: Umph!!! Umph, umph!!! Umph, umph, umph!!!
Horo-Horo and Ren appear out of nowhere and sock Opacho's mouth with a bunch of coltsfoot leaves.
Horo-Horo: At least we'll be able to let our emotional stress out on someone!!!
Ren (Looks at the midget like a mad man): Die! Hao! Die!
Opacho: Ummmmmmmmmph!!!
Hao: Gomen ne Opacho! But! As Kiiro would always put it! Better you than me! Hee, hee, hee!
Yoh: Aww, poor Opacho, but I think she's never gonna get that line right, ne Anna?
Anna: (Taunting glare mode). (Bloodcurdling glare mode). (Completely Homicidal glare mode).
Yoh (Stepping away from the itako): Eheheh. . . Eheh . . . Heh. . . Right.
Kiiro: Hahahah! Sorry about that Yoh-kun! We'll work on Anna-sama's attitude in the next chappie, I promise! But for now. . .
Kiiro (Turns to look at the readers): So without further ado, I *finally* present to you, the third chapter of 'Thy Kingdom Come'!
But, still my will be done in this fic of course!
And with that, I bid you all: EnJoY !!!

Shaman King Fanfiction.
Thy Kingdom Come.
By Kiiro Asakura.
____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________
Four thirty in the morning. A group of people has been gathered at the inner front gates of the Asakura ancestral mansion.
Ren (With his sword like hair growing longer and longer due to his morning grouchiness): Kisama! I'm gonna kill that Yoh for making me come here this early in the morning!
Pilika gawks at Ren's hair and then audibly giggles. Luckily Ren didn't notice this. So Horo-Horo just bonks his younger sister on the head lightly with his hand.
Chocolove (Puts his arm around Ren's neck): Sigh. I'm with you there Ren. I'm supposed to be snoring at this time of day, isn't that right Mic?--- Yeeouch!!!
Ren (Suddenly points his glaive at Chocolove's nose): Get. Your. Arm. Off. Me. You, you, you!---Grrr!---Zzzzzzz.
Ren suddenly snores with his brows furrowed and eyes slightly opened while standing.
Horo-Horo (Whispers loudly to Chocolove who is still rubbing his pricked and swollen nose): Psst. Chocolove, I don't think Ren's fully awake yet, do you?
Chocolove (Rubs his chin): Hmm, you know what? . . . I think your right!
Lyserg (Looks at the two shamans incredulously): No, you don't say! How can you possibly tell?
Ryu (Looks at the two shamans inquiringly): Yeah, how can you possibly tell that Horo-Horo?
Lyserg just rolls his eyes at all of his companions.
Faust looks at the four shamans and just chuckles as he turns his attention back to his lovely Eliza.
Horo-Horo was about to explain his deduction to Ryu and Lyserg when an interruption suddenly occurred.
Manta: Ano, minna! Yoh-kun and Tamao-chan are here!
Horo-Horo (Yawns out loud while stretching): Well, it's about time you two showed up!
Yoh (Smirks like he usually does): Eheh, minna, gomen for the wait! We had to make sure Anna stays asleep while we did the preparations.
Tamao stands beside her fiancé. She then smiles and bows before all of their guests. But then, her eyes met those of the male Ainu. The Ainu gave her a smirk. And for a while, she has been put into a trance by this and his tantalizing gaze. She too has given him a cordial smile.
Horo-Horo (Unconsciously grins at Tamao as he thinks): Sigh. Finally! My hours of travel are going to be all worth it! I'll be able to eat another one of Tamao's delicious strawberry boat tarts! Yay!
Tamao then realizes that they've both been staring at each other for quite some time now. So she immediately turns her attention to her fiancé.
Tamao (Looks from Yoh to the other guests as she avoids to stare at the Ainu and then speaks in a very high tone of voice): H-hai, gomen ne minna. Anyway, um, Anna mustn't know that you're all here already, so please, please keep it down. Onegai.
Everybody nods in comprehension of the girl's statement.
Because just like her, all of Yoh's friends have chosen to participate in the so-called Asakura tradition. For what reason? Nobody knows except for themselves. At least not for now.
Horo-Horo (Elbows Ren while whispering): Psst. Ren, Wake up.
Ren (Still snores while standing with his eyes slightly opened): Zzzzz.
Horo-Horo (Suddenly slaps Ren's back and shouts): Oi Ren! Didn't you hear what I just said!? I said wake up! Yoh and Tamao are here already!!!
Ren (Suddenly jolts and yells): Kisama!!! We're being attacked!!! BASON!!! HYOUI GATTAI IN BASON-TOU!!! GOLDEN CHUUKA ZANMAI!!!
Everybody then runs for cover as Ren ensues with his abrupt rampage.
Manta (With a pair of wide eyes and dropped jaws): Wah! Ren's gone berserk!
Ryu (Suddenly lifts Lyserg on his shoulders): Here! I'll save you Lyserg- kun!
Lyserg suddenly gets out of Ryu's grip and jumps off his shoulders. He then gets hold of a nearby boulder and lifts it up as if it was made of Styrofoam.
Lyserg (Throws the gigantic rock at Ryu): Kisama! I swear! If you ever touch me like that again! I'm gonna kill you baka! I'm already having enough rumors about my identity crisis without you adding up to them! Okay!?
Ryu (Is literally flattened by the huge stone that has been thrown onto him): . . . . . . . .!
Manta and Chocolove are hiding behind a bush with a shocked expression hanging on their faces as they have witnessed the occurrence between the dowser and the owner of the wooden sword.
Chocolove: Hmm, I wonder what Lyserg meant by that!?
Manta: (0_o)!
Meanwhile, Faust and Eliza are somewhere hiding behind a huge tree. They're together hiding there. They were there with darkness enveloping them. There was nobody else seeing them but their selves. Well, got the point? Good. 'cause according to my discretion, that's all you need to know.
Then, out of nowhere, Pilika appears with a bucket of iced water and throws its contents at the raging Tao.
SPLASH!
Ren finally gains consciousness and stops from creating havoc as his whole body shivers due to the subzero temperature his body has just been recently exposed to.
Ren (Glares at Pilika as he notices her holding an empty bucket): Kisama! What the hell do you think you're doing, you stupid kid!?
Pilika then has her forehead creased due to the Tao's harsh words.
Pilika (Throws the bucket squarely at the Ren's head): Hmph! The least thing you could do is to say thanks! I just stopped you from committing a serious crime! And for your information! You're the stupid one here! What kind of a smart person would sleep with his eyes open while standing anyway!?
Ren (Blocks the bucket easily with his forearm as his hair closely reaches its elongation limits): Kuso!!! Somebody stop me or else I'm gonna murder this stupid little brat! I swear, I really will!!!
Horo-Horo (Suddenly stands in front of her sister with a grim expression on his face): Hey now. Nobody calls my little sister a 'brat' but me.
The two shamans were about to engage into a serious verbal clash when Yoh has stood in between all of a suddedn.
Yoh (Speaks with a very calm voice as he looks at his friends): Ne, minna, why don't we all just go inside the house and rest first. I know you're all tired from your trip so it'll be really relaxing if you just lie down on bed for several hours. Anyway, it's only five in the morning. Breakfast will be at eight. You still have plenty of time to regain your strength. So let's all keep our heads cool for now, hai?
Yoh then smiles at everyone and then at Tamao.
Tamao nods and looks at her fiancé with much reverence then her gaze falls on the Ainu once again.
Tamao (Thinks): Sigh. Horo-Horo is really protective of his sister.
Her thoughts suddenly searched for the person who treats her just like the way the older Ainu does to the younger one. But then. Her thoughts have gone blank.
Tamao (Is taken out of her reverie as she looks at Yoh with a somewhat poignant expression and turns her head to his friends): Hai, minna, we have prepared your rooms already. Please follow us inside the house now so we may show you to your rooms.
Yoh and Tamao have turned their backs to their guests and went further inside the gates to show their friends the way to their house.
Ren and Horo-Horo have then realized that the new couple was right. They therefore decided to ignore each other for the meantime and let their little argument pass.
Ren has pick up his things and shot a glance at Pilika who stuck out her tongue at him. Horo-Horo then pulled the female Ainu's hand to prevent her from angering the Tao once again.
Manta, Ryu (Yes, he got out of the boulder because Yoh, Manta, and Chocolove helped him.) Chocolove, Lyserg and Faust (The gang almost forgot about him but luckily, they heard a moan (!?) from where he was hiding and, so they called out for him.) have then picked their stuff up and carried them as they quietly followed Yoh and Tamao into the house.
____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________
Now, let's do a little rewind here. About three fifty in the morning. The Shaman King had then busied himself with the preparations for the arrival of his friends. Everyone in the Asakura mansion, including the helpers, Asakura Yohmei, Kino, and Mikihisa, as well as Tamao were already awake and readying things that will be involved for the traditional rites which will take place on that day.
Meanwhile, while all of the people were busy with their duties, none of them had discerned an intruder entering their vicinity.
____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________
Inside the itako's room. Anna's dream had just shifted from her sharing not just one but two kisses with her fiancé to a wedding ceremony that was taking place on a nice and cloudy day inside a vast yard, which looked very familiar to her.
Anna (Thinks while dreaming): Hmm, this dream again. Sigh. Yoh. You'll have to give me 10 more kilometers on your run for invading my dreams.
Anna's vision showed an aisle with a red carpet and an altar right at the middle of a gazebo at the center of the garden. It was surrounded with gold flower stands with crystal vases on top of them. Inside the vases were fresh, fragrant red and white roses.
The itako then felt herself walking towards the altar where a young man stood while waiting. His stature was that of an 18 year old or maybe younger. He was wearing a traditional white kimono and had his back facing her. Her vision told her that she was getting closer and closer to the altar.
So she took a step, 2 steps, 3, 4, 5 steps, 6, 7, 8 steps and she was finally there. The young man then turned to face her. Sure enough, it was her Yoh. He looked so handsome as he gave her a smile with much more happiness than the usual ones he puts on his face.
The shaman soon reached his hand out to the itako and she willingly took it without taking her gaze off his lovely face.
Then. All of a sudden. Yoh's facial expression had changed. It had then turned into a fear-provoking one. His eyes became full of malevolence. His warm smile had turned into a wicked grin and his gentle grip on her hand had become agonizing.
____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________
At the very same time that the itako was dreaming, a figure was then seated in front of a bonfire deep with in a forest. But the bonfire was not an ordinary one for its flames were of the deep cerulean color.
Figure (With a solemn voice): Good. Now, let her go and make them feel your presence instead. Until I tell you to leave, you shall stay there. Is that understood?
A small voice: Hai Hao-sama.
The fire soon flickered and grew dramatically bigger to take the form of a girl. The increase in the fire's magnitude had then showed the identity of the figure settled before it. The figure of course was none other than Asakura Hao.
Hao (Grins mischievously): Ah, and so it begins, my dear, sweet itako.
____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________
Meanwhile, we go back to Anna's dream.
Anna (Yells in her dream): What the!? Yoh!? What's going on!? This isn't the way this dream is supposed to go!!!
The Yoh in her dream then lets a shrill laugh that made Anna realize she was having a nightmare and not a dream. She soon mentally ordered her body to wake up, over and over again, but it would not obey her. She screamed and screamed but no body came to wake her up.
The surroundings then became very dark. Storm clouds seem to gather above them suddenly and the once bright and beautiful sky was no more. And the next thing she knew, Yoh was already holding his Harusame. He then stared at the itako with a deranged expression and an evil smirk.
Anna (Tells the Yoh in her nightmare as she tries to get away from its grip): W-what are you looking at me like that for!? And what are you doing with that sword on our wedding!? Take that back to where it came from you idiot!---Oh damn it! This is useless!
The itako suddenly reverts to commanding her brain to wake her body up already or else. Not only would she get to eat sashimi for her dream wedding, she would actually get to be the wretched dish herself!
But still, her mental instructions served as a waste of time. Yoh then held Anna's hand tighter and pulled her closer to him.
He raised his sword. And as if in slow motion, she saw the sword coming straight at her.
Anna (Closes her eyes and screams): Aah!!! Damn it! How dare you do this to me on my wedding, you jerk!
And just when the shaman's sword was about to make contact with her neck,
Everything had gone black and silent.
The itako waited for the blow but then realized that it wasn't going to come anymore.
Anna opened her eyes and saw nothing but darkness.
Anna (says out loud): Am I awake already?
A mysterious voice then speaks up.
Mysterious voice: No, I'm afraid not, Anna. You're not awake yet. But still, aren't you glad Yoh didn't kill you in that dream?
The itako turned her head around but still saw nothing but the dark as she heard the familiar voice.
Anna (keeps a calm voice): What's going on? Who are you? Why don't you show yourself? Or are you just too much of a coward to do that?
Suddenly, a huge bonfire appeared out of nowhere and revealed Asakura Hao to be sitting in front of it.
Anna (Stifles a gasp as she speaks with a disdained tone in her voice): Asakura Hao.
Hao (Smiles at the itako warmly): Hahahah. Yes, but I can still remember my name, you know. This body of mine isn't *that* old to suffer from Alzheimer's disease. Anyway, you were saying?
Anna (Keeps her stoic expression in place): What are you doing in my dream?
Hao (Suddenly appears at Anna's backside): I just wanted to tell you something.
Anna, although utterly surprised by the shaman's movement, turned to face Hao and maintain a face of placidity.
Anna: I am sure that I'll find nothing interesting in anything that you will tell me.
Hao then smirked at the itako as her eyes met his.
Hao: Heh. How do you know? You haven't even heard it yet.
Anna: I just know it.
Hao: Ah, so you're the all knowing itako no Anna eh? Hahahah.
Anna (with a stern voice): Shut up. And get out of my dream. Now.
The shaman then stepped closer to the itako.
Anna opted to take a step further from him but then fathomed that she could not.
Hao took another step closer to her. Again, she wanted to turn around and walk away from him, but still, she simply could not. She soon realized that she could not speak out loud as well. A trace of fear was then seen on the girl's face.
Hao (Now with a low and serious voice): You seem to be dreadfully confused here Anna. *This* is not your dream. It is mine. Therefore, *I* am the one who controls everything that happens here, and not you. Do you understand?
The shaman was now very close to Anna. In fact, his body was pressing onto the itako's somewhat paralyzed body. He had one of his arms around her waist. The other was holding her chin tenderly to make her have an eye contact with him. But then, he vehemently pulled her face closer to his.
Hao: And I am not going to let you out of my dream until you hear what I have to say.
And with a swift movement, the shaman has tilted his head forward and kissed the itako full on the lips. He had forced a very passionate kiss on her. He then embraced her obsessively this time as he opened her lips with his tongue.
Anna just stood there with her eyes wide open because of complete shock. Since she could not do anything about it, she just closed her eyes as tears have freely flowed out of them. The kiss lasted for quite a while.
And when it was finished,
Hao (Whispers to Anna's ear with a sulky voice): I just want you to know that if you ever need somebody to talk to, I'll be here for you. You know how to find me.
The shaman then backed a few steps away from Anna. And the moment he had done this, the ability to move and speak at will was returned to the girl. And so. . .
SLAP!
Hao had then received a very powerful slap from the itako whose eyes are now evidently full of fury.
Anna (Says through gritted teeth): You. Bastard.
Hao (Rubs the mark on his face as he smiles at the itako fondly): Heh. I'm sorry to leave you hanging and disappointed. We'll just do it again some other time, I promise. But for now, that's all I have to tell you. Anyway, we shall meet again. I am sure of that. And tonight will not be a bad time, I can tell.
The itako was about to say something when Hao has once again spoken.
Hao: And with that my dear Anna, I shall bid you. . .
'Kisama!!! We're being attacked!!!'
All of a sudden, the itako had jolted into a sitting position on her futon.
And the noises from outside her window, had at last fully awoken her.
A familiar voice (bellows): BASON!!! HYOUI GATTAI IN BASON-TOU!!! GOLDEN CHUUKA ZANMAI!!!
____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________
In the forest, the once roaring azure flames have died down. And the small servant of the powerful shaman then returned by his side.
Opacho (Looks sleepy): Hao-sama, is everything okay now?
Hao (Smiles at the child): Ah, yes, Opacho, you may go to sleep now, ariogatou.
Opacho (Smiles back at her master): Hai Hao-sama, it is nothing.
Hao (Looks at the direction of the Asakura mansion with a smile): Get as much sleep as you want this morning Opacho, you'll be coming to that house again later tonight.
But Opacho did not reply for she has already fallen deep into sleep.
~ Tsuzuku ~
____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________
~ Heh. Another spoiler ne? Anna has not yet found out about the cancellation of her engagement to Yoh in this chappie, but she will in the next one, I pwomise!
~ Sorry, if I got the terms wrong, like the one that Ren said. Blame it all on my stupid copy of the SK anime series. It's not an original copy. So naturally, the subtitles are all twisted. Grr.
~ Lacks originality in here too, with the dream sequence and all, yeah too common, I know. But my brain squeezer got broken, that's why I wasn't able to extract sufficient amounts of creative juices. Uhm, sowee about that. I'll just try to buy another one if I get to a store that sells those things, don't worry . . . (^^s)*
~ Btw, please send me reviews. Those serve as an encouragement for me to update sooner. You can flame me all you want but please make it sensible, yes? Meaning, don't just curse me without telling why I got cursed. Geez. And, uhm, expound on your grounds for flaming please, I mean, don't elaborate *too much* on the printed head bashing phrases. That way, I'd actually *know* which part of the fic I need to improve on. So please be a responsible flamer. Eheh. Yeah that's all. (^^s)*
~ And yes, I'll update sooner too! I swear! If I don't, then by all means! I'll let a clan of Siberian Dwarf Warehamsters bite me and turn me into one of them! Heh.
~ So 'tis all for now! Thanks for reading this chapter! Until next time! Ja!!! = )
