When I See You Smile
Chapter 1
===What Can I Do For You?===
Part: 1

Hao walked down the street, sighing some. He was pissed his plan had failed. ...oh well... he thought, already cooking up another one. If he cound't use Anna to kill Yoh, he'd do it himself. But Hao was different and liked to do thinngs differently. He didn't plan on killing Yoh with his bare hands. He'd muchly rather have Yoh destroy himself. He smikred at the thought, knowing his next plan would be one of his best.

It was simple really. He had aimed for Yoh's heart last time. It was easily manipulated, however, it didn't turn out the results he had hoped for. This time he had a different plan, something that was bound to work. ...aiming for the heart didn't work... he thought, then smiled. ...so this time, i'll aim for the soul... Ah, yes, the soul. The heart and mind were connected to his soul, so why not try gettting rid of him, by getting rid of the essence within that body?

Hao smiled as he neared the spot where he'd meet 'her'. She was a young girl, no more then fifteen. She wasn't too bright, but was drop dead gorgeous. Hao had met her while wondering the allies. She was an apparent runaway, and one who was dieing for money, her and her companion, a small dog. Hao had promised her a handsome fee if she agreed to help him. She eagerly did, and he was glad. She wasn't bright indeed, not even questioning him, only wishing for him to give her the money ASAP. Hao agreed, meeting her today to drop off the dough and give her the potion he had bought.

The potion was an interesting one, used by Shamans who were more like mages and into the dark magic. The potion itself was called Black Soul. It was very powerful, a small amount was able to inflict self doubt, depression, hate, and anger in a person, making them ultimatly want to end their seemingly pointless and miserable lives. Hao smirked, having enough to make Yoh's soul darker then the night itself. He was sure his plan would work, but was still a bit uneasy. He was upset about the bond between Yoh and Anna. It was something he couldn't describe. It was so powerful, so strong, something that appeared to never be broken, even in death. It puzzled him at how such a bond could exists, and added to his doubts of his new plan. He shruged some, continuing on, nearing the meeting place.

He saw her in the distance, her long purple hair pulled up in large pig tails. She adored thd pig tails with matching red ribbions. She sighed, her short blue mini skirt hugging her hips, her matching thigh highs only adding to her provacative image, as were her white knee high boots. She dawned a red, low cut tube top, a small red necklace around her neck. She was sexy as hell, but when it came to sex appeal, Anna was at the top of the list, especially his. This girl had the looks, but little to no brain. At least Anna was smart, cool, and mysterious, making any man, Shaman or not, want her.

The girl faced him now, tilting her head some, her mutt dog sitting at her feet, scratching itself. "Finally." she said. Hao smirked, bowing to her. "Good day." he said, standing again. "Yeah, where's the money?" she asked. "Hmm, pushy aren't we?" he said, reaching into his pocket, tossing her a small, draw-string pouch. "There's $350.00 in there. Use it wisely." he said, the girl quickly opening the pack and counting it all. "Yeah , yeah, where's the stuff?" she asked, looking to him. He smiled, oping his hand to her, handing her the small, black liquid filled tube. She quickly snatched it from him, Hao quickly grabbing her by the wrist.

The girl looked to him shocked some. Hao smiled, sqweezing her wrist some. "Don't mess up, it may cost you your life..." he said, winking to her. The girl glared at him and stummbled back as he pushed her some. "I won't mess up!" she yelled, Hao nodding. "Good." There was a slight silence, the two looking around some. "Anna will pass this way soon. She wearing a black dress and red bandana. Don't talk to her, just walk, and try not to look suspicious." he said, the girl waving her hand at him. "Yeah yeah." she said, slipping on a pair of black sunglasses. Hao nodded, then turned, walking off, the girl watching.

She waited until he was out of her sight, then rolled her eyes. ...men... she thought. ...they'll do anythign for a girl... She knelt now, attaching a leash to her dog's collar. It whined some, put stopped at her petting him. "Only for a little while boy, then it's show time." she said, smiling as she gave her pup a wink. The dog barked eagerly as she stood. She then slipped her headphones on, turning her CD Player on full blast. She smiled, singing along to the song. "What can I do for you?" she sang soflty, and smirk playing across her red lips as she walked on, singing to her happy tune.
