I'm sorry I didn't update as soon as I wanted too. All my files are on my laptop, but the Internet is broken, lost or whatever, so now I have to use my dad's computer to upload the chapters. As soon as I get internet again on my laptop I swear all update sooner.
To all of you who reviewed. THANK YOU!! It really does make a writers day to say all those reviews from people who love their stories, keep at it ^^ !!
And a little message to Chibi Team Rocket: Patience, it's all part of the plot. And no, I do not plan to make this a HaoxYoh (dodges a brick), maybe I will write some other fic about that, but not this one. Thank you for your review, it really has helped me.
Disclaimer: One question. Do you see Anna die in any of the episodes? No? Then Shaman King is not mine, its Hiroyuki Takei-sama's
Now on with the fic!!
**This is scene change**
This is flashback or dream
"This" or "this" is thoughts
-This is spoken-
Horo Horo just sat there, hugging and comforting the brunette shaman as he sobbed his heart out on his shoulder. The rain kept pouring upon them.
Ep.3 - I'll be there to catch you
Horo Horo carefully opened the door of his apartment, taking special care since the Asakura heir was in his arms. Swiftly he walked from the door to his bed, once he was there, with as much care as possible he deposited the brunette shaman there. Yoh looked around at the unfamiliar place, unlike Horo Horo, this place was clean and everything was in order. The dark eyed shaman looked at his companion with a skeptic look which was given back by a warm smile. Yoh couldn't help but smile back at his friend.
-Ummm, I think I'll go change into something dry, and I think you should change too- said the bluenette shaman with a little pink staining his cheeks. Yoh just nodded at the statement. The ice shaman went to one of his drawers and rummaged in it until he found some dry clothes for himself and some for Yoh.
-I don't know if they'll fit, but I think they'll do- Horo Horo extended a pair of black short and a blue shirt to Yoh, which he gratefully took.
-I think they'll do just fine- the dark haired shaman answered with a smile. Horo Horo blush deepen and before he noticed himself he was in the bathroom changing his soaked clothes. Yoh gave a sight as Horo Horo disappeared behind the bathroom door. He looked down at the clothes, what was he going to do?
-Yoh, tell me..-
Both Yoh and Horo Horo were sitting at the heater of Horo Horo's apartment. Horo horo was wearing a pair of blue pants and a white shirt and of course his ever there headband. Yoh looked at the other shaman puzzled.
-Tell me why where you at that cliff-
Yoh's eyes went downcast and his body started to tremble.
-I went there to end my life-
-I already know that, but why?
Yoh didn't look up- You wouldn't understand- was his answer. He stood and was about to leave if Horo Horo hadn't stood up too and grabbed him by the elbow, turning Yoh against him.
-I asked you before and I'll ask you again, why?- Yoh glared at Horo Horo, but that didn't stop the Ainu from coming closer to him.
-How did you know I was there?
-I followed you, how else? I saw you running went you passed in front of the building and I decided to follow you, that's how I knew what you were trying to do.
It was now Horo Horo's turn to glare; suddenly the floor became very interesting to Yoh.
-Why did you save me?
-You still haven't answered my question- the ice shaman grabbed Yoh's chin and forced him to look at him.
-I……- was all the dark haired shaman could say, it was hard enough to deal with things, now he had to deal with Horo Horo.
-Yoh, I promise I won't hurt you- he said in a soft voice. Yoh couldn't stand it, he broke into a fit of sobs and tears started to come down his eyes.
-How can I be sure?- asked the before happy shaman.
-Because I love you- answered the Ainu. But that didn't faze Yoh.
-Horo Horo you can't help me, nobody can.
-At least let me try- that simple answer was enough for Yoh, his legs stopped supporting him and would have fallen to the floor if Horo Horo hadn't caught him.
They sat together there, on the floor. Yoh had calmed down and now he had his head buried into the blue haired shaman's chest. Horo Horo stroked Yoh's hair and back, enjoying the close moment until the brunette's voice sounded.
- All I ever wanted was to live in peace. But nobody will listen to my feelings. Do you think I wanted to marry Anna? Or become shaman king? My family only cares about me because I'm their heir. You guys think I'm a happy-go-lucky guy, but I'm not. Horo Horo, this is the real me.- Yoh separated from Horo Horo so he could look at him. The Ainu looked at Yoh, his love, once so happy and carefree, was now a shadow of a smile.
-Yoh I still don't understand- started Horo Horo.
-And you'll never understand!! Nobody will! - cried Yoh. His tears were now the ones of hate. Horo Horo grabbed Yoh by the shoulders and shook him a bit.
-Yoh, I need to know, what's wrong?-
Yoh's head buried again into Horo Horo's chest. The native from Hokkaido just held him close.
-Horo Horo…..I'm going to die.
-But….why?
-Anna had me on a strict diet. Days could pass without a single crumble of food reaching my stomach.
The brunette separated from the other shaman and looked at him with sad eyes.
-Horo Horo, I have anorexia. Horo Horo's eyes, went wide with realization. Didn't anyone notice? Didn't Anna notice?
-Yoh I'm sorry…I'm so so sorry- this time it was Horo Horo's turn to cry, he hugged Yoh's legs and cried into his lap. The Asakura heir stroked his hair.
-It's alright Horo Horo..-
-No! It's not alright!- yelled the Hokkaido boy. He raised his head and looked sternly at Yoh.
-That's why you wanted to kill yourself? So people wouldn't see you suffer? So you could make your suffer go away?- Yoh answered with a nod. That was the last straw, Horo Horo took Yoh's hands and tenderly kissed them.
-Yoh. I'll help you, I won't let you die.- tears started to stain Yoh's cheeks.
-But, what happens when I fall? Who will care if I take my life away?
-I will. Yoh, and when you do fall, I'll be there to catch you.
*#*#*#*#*#*
On the next episode. Horo Horo takes Yoh away with him, to have some time for himself, but someone else notices the situation too. All this and more on "Stay with me". Episode 4- What is left of me.
Too all of you Anna lovers, I recommend you to stop reading this fic right now since you will be seeing some Anna-bashing and bastardization, and believe me, I don't want flames about that.
I'm sorry if you think this fic has short chapters or don't like the strange twist I gave in this episode, but somewhere around the middle of this episode I noticed that there wasn't any real plot, so I started thinking about an untouched plot but could still attract readers and reviewers and maybe potential writers.
I swear I'll do my best to make longer chapters. Feedback and suggestions are most welcome. Flames will be used to make burgers. (Hooray!)
