A/N: Same as my remarks, I am a DISCLAIMER from somewhere to release my imagination kept for… days.

The Shamanic Fantasy: A legend Through Time

Chapter Two: The Future

"Yoh, better wake up or do you think I need to pull you from there, huh?"

"Nee… 5 more minutes, Oniichan!" yelled the other sleepily.

Crossing his arms, Hao left his brother on his room. He stared evenly at the window of Yoh's room. Thirteen in age, the twins live in an apartment in Tokyo's suburbs.

Living a happy life with their Otousan… and studying in the nearby Junior Highschool, they seem contented on how life is going on. They only have their mother's picture, whom their dad told them that died after they were born.

"… Daydreaming?" their dad asked as he opened the slide door. "You two will… hey, Yoh!"

Hao pointed on the futon where his twin is lying comfortably. Their father sighed on the view, it's always been like that, and the boy never learned his lesson.

"Wake up or you'll get scolded by your sensei!"

He pulled him out of the futon.

The boy reluctantly fixed his beddings. After a while the boys came rummaging for their uniform, and you'll notice the room is a mess.

Afterwards going down the stairway, they ate breakfast and hurriedly wear their shoes.

"Ja Okaasan!" the boys bade to the beautiful woman's picture located on the golden frame rested on the China cabinet. "Ja Otousan!"

"Take care!" he bade too. After that, he looked at the frame intently.

"For 13 years… I've kept it, Yoko."

"I'm glad you came over!" Tamao Tamamura welcomed her cousin Anna Kyouyama as she approached her smiling and happily.

It has been 5 years since Anna left for China. She used to live at Tamao's house while her parents are abroad (At China) and they really get along well.

Anna lived with Tamao since young. Now she comes back because her parents bought a house at Tokyo already.

"And why won't I fail my cousin's request?" she answered as she smiles happily at her. She brushed her blonde hair with her hands.

"Don't you worry; our school is a real good school. You'll learn to get along with the students there." Tamao asserted "and if you want I'm gonna tour you after class."

"That's cool! And if we have time, can we go round Tokyo?"

"Why not?"

Tamao and Anna walked happily towards the school building.

"So where is the school you're telling me, oniichan?" Pirika asked her older brother.

"It's near… about 40 steps, Pirika" Horo Horo answered.

"Why do we need to go here at Tokyo?" Pirika cried as she grudgingly moved her feet. "We have a good life there at Sapporo!"

"You know that we inherited the property left here by our Otousan…" he began "and we shall use it. Besides, we have better future here at Tokyo."

Walking freely on the streets of Tokyo, Yoh with his hands rested on his head and Hao silently appreciating nature. And as usual, Yoh listens to his orange headphones and he listens to music, of course.

Heading to their school, the two of them proceeded to their classes. Hao and Yoh are in separate classrooms, because they might confuse their teachers.

As Yoh passed by the classroom of Hao, he bade him and a pink-haired girl entered the door. Yoh collided with a blonde who angrily stared at him. Then he proceeds to his classroom, where the blonde went too.

"Are you following me?" she asked as she faced him.

"No," he bravely answered as he grinned. "Actually, that's the way to my classroom."

The girl looked at the last room left. Room 2-B… she was embarrassed that she, a new comer scolded an old student who will be her classmate.

She coolly went in the classroom.

"New?" Yoh asked him suddenly.

She nodded.

Why do I need to talk to him after he answered me philosophically and I looked like a fool in front of him?

"I'm Yoh," he introduced properly "what's yours?"

"Kyouyama Anna…"

He smiled at her. Anna thinks he's just simply mocking her. She rolled her eyes. Her simple sarcastic ways surely attracted his attention. She is a newcomer yet she valiantly shows herself in an incredible personality.

"To begin, I want everyone to welcome the newcomer warmly. She's Anna Kyouyama, and she just arrived from China." The teacher began.

Everyone's glances turned to the blonde who is calmly appreciating their concern. Then Yoh was startled, looking at her straightly. Wondering if she's a Chinese or what.

"Hmmm…" he thought as he scratched his head. "I think not…"

"Yumeno!" the teacher yelled. The stunned boy who was drowned in his neglected thoughts stood up, unwillingly and clueless. He faced his sensei, still with glee…

"Yes sir?"

"Aren't you listening? I have been asking you 3 times to solve for he equation!"

Loud laughter filled the classroom, and even made Anna laugh.

"Such a careless moron…" she thought and scowled at him. Then still left him no clue.

Then break came, and still some of the students remain bickering about Yoh and the way he acted a while ago. Some find it very funny. Of course he didn't care. Same innocence is within him, but you can't tell his hidden specialties.

Anna, who was trying to find Tamao's room suddenly came up colliding with Yoh on the corridor.

"Lost?"

"Shut up…" she mocked in the relentless words she left.

"Let me help you find the person." He regarded, taking his sight at the classrooms.

"Are you a clairvoyant?"

"Of course not!" he cried as he stretched his arms up high, lazily "I wouldn't be somewhat like that."

Then he walked ahead of her. Anna can't help but follow his lead.

"What year?"

"2nd."

"Section?"

"A."

"Oh, alright. It's located at the 2nd floor and west wing. My twin is there too." He said and as they walked to the room of 2-A…

"… speaking of good timing,"

"Yoh!" Hao called him. "nee, who's with you?"

Beside Hao is Tamao. Hao and Tamao are friends since first Year. Anna, who was startled, was called by her cousin.

"Nee Anna!" I didn't think you'll get along well with Yoh-kun!"

"With him?" she sarcastically exclaimed. "No!"

Tamao just smiled. She thinks that Yoh finally found his matchmaker.

The one who doesn't consider his naive attitude. It's Anna Kyouyama.

"So I think it would be better if we'll take our break now." Hao cleared things off. "so, shall we?"

"Of course!" Yoh exclaimed excitedly. They walked through the large campus. Then Yoh noticed that two blue-haired students seem to get lost in the compound proper.

"Oniichan! I told you the canteen is on the other side!"

"Will you simply follow your brother?" the spiky blue-haired said.

"Excuse me?" Yoh began and it took the attention of both of them.

"do you intend to find the canteen?"

"Ah… yes, are you a member of the student council here to help us?" Horo Horo asked as he looked at him.

"Well, no, but I am willing to help." He replied and he grinned.

"And what does the social aide plan again?" Anna whispered.

"Thanks, Yoh-san…" Pirika said.

"There are only few people like you," Horo Horo said "May Kami-sama bless you. Anyway, I think we came from the same class… we only got late, so I wasn't mentioned."

"Great!" Yoh exclaimed "it would be better if you discuss to me more about Sapporo… I haven't got there…"

"And you tell about Tokyo." He added. "I think we should go now to the class…"

"Yup, so long…!" Hao bade them.

"Anna you should go with your classmates now." Tamao said and smiled.

Anna took a look at the two boys. They are happily chit-chatting all the way to their class. Horo's endless tales about the forests really amazed Yoh.

"How about you, Kyouyama, tell us something about China…" Yoh asked her. "please!"

Anna looked at him.

What would I tell? Fantastic tales? Legends?

Her sarcastic glance turned to Yoh, and she shooked.

"I suppose you learned from your Social Studies teacher…" she replied, and went off.

"But I am always sleeping in class, Kyouyama…!" he said and smiled boyishly. "please!"

She sighed and afterwards came closer to him.

"No. That's your problem."

She smiled sweetly and moved towards the classroom.

Then Horo Horo shrugged and stared at Yoh.

"Women…" Yoh replied as he sighed. "let's go, tomodachi! Nee, what more stories can you tell?"

"One day, me and my sister are walking from a field! Then we met a cute, little pal named Kororo!"

"Is it a dog?"

"No!" he replied "let me tell you something… Koro is not… well, I'll tell you later…"

Their sensei is there already.

"Oh man, Horo!" Yoh cried "promise me you'll tell, huh?"

"Hai."

After Class, Pirika and Horo kept on arguing.

"No, Oniichan. We mustn't let him meet Koro-chan!" Pirika insisted.

"As if he can see…"

"Then you'll be shamed!"

"I won't actually let them meet," he began "an ordinary human can't see---"



"Nee, ain't this creature a cute one?" Yoh said as he talks to Kororo!

"Y-Yoh-san?" Pirika asked as she was surprised. "you can see--"

"What do you mean? I see these stuff beginning I was young!" Yoh exclaimed. "that's normal for me and my twin."

"Ano… you must be…" Horo paused.
