Alright everyone! Another story by me!

Sorry everyone, this was sort of late, thanks to a few problems, but based on Yoh and Hao's birthday!

This story may contain spelling and grammar mistakes, and other stuff.

Also, Major shonen-ai...if you couldn't figure it out.

There is TWINCEST, so you are warned, don't go and report anything, and don't be disgusted, why else would you be reading this, ok? (Umm... for those of you who don't get it... that means incest, only more fun!)

On with the story.

Oops, almost forgot, I don't own Shaman King, wish I did though, or else I would not have Hao die in the end of the anime.

Chapter 1: Birthday

He smiled at me. How I love them, I could drown in the depth of those smiles, because they were aimed at me, and no else but me.

How the lips curl into a calm, yet scary type of way that makes even the calmest of persons like me have the hairs along your spine prickling.

I shouldn't be reminiscing about such matters; after all, he smiles at everyone and tries to smile as much as he can. But still...I feel lucky that at this moment and time, those smiles are just for me.

His foots pads across the floor silently, almost as if he himself were a ghost, a haunting reflection of true nature.

Once, he has told me the same thing too. That I, too, and just as daunting as him, and that I too have wonderful smiles, after all, we are twins right? But that doesn't matter much; after all, he has some things that I could never dream of having, many things that I want and can't have, yet he, doesn't even try, and has them. Friends, how is it that he can acquire so easily without trying?

His feet continued to pad out across the floor until they reached the door, then he descended down the steps, outside into the cool spring air.

"Hao." He says simply, putting his hands on his hips and looking up at the edge of the roof where I sat, that lazy smile of his still planted securely on his face, "what's up?"

"Come wait for the stars with me." I replied him softly, not bothering to move much except look down and curve my lips into a delicate upwards smile.

That didn't answer his question, and he knew it, but he decided not to push the matter. He climbed over the shingles, sitting on the edge beside me and dangling his legs over the edge, like I was doing now.

I really didn't want him to know that I had really been listening for him, and was watching every move that he was making. Of course, he may have know that already despite his question, after all, he is smarter than he lets on to everybody.

He laid his head across the crook of my neck, resting it and then sighing as he did so. I blushed very slightly at the contact, even though I'm used to it after all this time

I really don't know if Anna agrees, but, but it really doesn't matter, because with the two of us, she doesn't have much say and really can't do anything about it.

When everyone else found out a first, they had not believed me, and thought it was another attempt of mine to re-unite with Yoh and eat his soul, so I had to prove then wrong.

But that's another story for another time, and I really don't think it's necessary to know all the gruesome details.

"Hao..."

"Shh." I put my finger on his lips, "just relax."

I knew what he was excited about, after all, who doesn't know when the birthday of your koi is?

May 12th, that was his birthday, and my present one for this reincarnate.

We sat there in silence, watching nothing really, just looking at the sky and the clouds rolling out.

"Hao? Don't you know what day it is?" Yoh finally spoke up. How long had we been silent?

"Of course Otouto," I chuckled, "how could I forget?"

"Spirit of Fire!" I called shortly afterwards, and the looming figure appeared before us, easily picking us up into the sky.

"H-Hao...I'm scared..." Yoh looked at me pleadingly.

"Of what?"

"Won't he burn me?"

"Who? Spirit of Fire?"

"Hai, because even his hand is made of fire."

"Don't worry dear Otouto, that's one thing that you're lucky from being born from me, unless it's an attack, Spirit of Fire won't burn you." I pulled him closer into embrace.

True how Yoh is born from my soul, and how he is similar to me in many ways. Most people say that it may be vain to love myself, but they're going to have to learn to rephrase their sentences.

Yoh and I aren't the same person; he was lying dormant inside of me until the right time had come for him to be released.

No matter how I hate Yoh being right, I go with what he said, Yoh is Yoh, and I am myself. No matter how much we have in common, we are not the same person.

Spirit of Fire took us to the Oceanside, and dropped us off on a rock, no larger than the two of us.

The sun was still high in the sky, but it still made a beautiful ark, as the bottom half of the sphere started to dip below the ocean.

"Like this Yoh?" I whispered into his ear, and put my arm around his shoulders.

"Love it," he replied, sighing.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a giant fireball was aimed at Yoh's head, but he managed to duck just in time, leaving my arm slightly singed, that didn't bother me, not as much as him moving away.

"What the hell was that!" he screamed.

"Oh crap." I cursed, "Not that again."

"Umm... right now... Spirit of Fire has way too much energy..." I tried to explain.

"Now you tell me!" Yoh yelled, running up and down the shoreline dodging fireballs.

"Oh, and be careful too, those aren't ordinary fireballs."

"NANI!!" he screamed at me.

"Jump in the ocean, he can't get you there." I put my elbows on my knees; Yoh was really entertaining when he is frantic like that. Spirit of Fire wouldn't dare attack me, but Yoh had a different Aura, and like I said, Yoh is Yoh, not me.

Yoh's head bobbled out of the water, before letting out a quick "eep" and going underwater again, just in time to miss a fireball skimming over the water, nearly hitting his head.

Spirit of Fire seemed to get bored, seeing as its opponent was in the water, so it decided to leave, probably to bug some poor human.

Yoh's head popped out of the water, "HAO!"

"Yes?" I smirked at him.

"Don't you dare tell me that was my birthday present!"

"No," I jumped down off the rock, and helped him out of the water, "Don't worry dear Otouto, just wait for it."

We climbed back up on top of our rock, and sat leaning on each other. We were just there, sitting and enjoying each other's warmth.

The sun slowly drifted behind the watery horizon line, slowly sinking the dusk into a dark night. A cool breeze came off the ocean, and I could fell Yoh shiver.

"You're cold, here." I took off my poncho and wrapped it around Yoh like a blanket.

"Arigatou." He mumbled back at me.

Soon. It was almost pitch black outside, and yet, I hadn't given Yoh his present, but it was coming, soon.

The stars were out, and the two of us watched them, as they shimmered. They don't shimmer or shine as much as they do in the past now, now they just glow.

Once, that squirt Manta told me why too; it was because the quality of the earth's atmosphere, let makes the stars twinkle. But thanks to the wretched human pollution, they don't have much of a twinkle anymore.

Also, they have sent up these things called satellites, things in space that glow brightly. Because some of them are brighter than any star could ever shine, it's sometimes hard for me to tell what is actually a star or a man made thing.

Time slowly ticked away, until I nudged an almost sleeping Yoh lightly off my shoulder.

"Nmph," he mumbled, "What time is it?"

"11:30."

"NANI!! I was going to give your present before midnight!"

"Don't worry dear Otouto, you'll still have time, you have to wait this long for something special."

"Demo..." his face was all scrunched up cutely, and obviously, he was worried about giving me the present before midnight.

"Look up," I interrupted him, "what do you see?"

He looked and did what I said, then looked at my face, all confuse, "um...stars?"

"Yes, but look more closely, what about the stars?"

He looked up, but still didn't get what I was talking about.

I pointed at a spot between the big dipper and the Little Dipper, "look there, very closely." Geez, this should have been easy for him.

"I still don't know." I don't think he trying very hard, Yoh does tend to take the easy way out.

"Fine," I muttered, "you see that bright red star up there?"

He nodded his head slowly.

"I just discovered that, it's a brand new type of star. I called it Yoh."

He put his hand over his mouth and gasped, "You mean..."

"Happy birthday Otouto," I embraced him tighter, "you see, it only comes out at 11:30, so that's why I made you wait."

He nodded his head.

"So what's my present?" I smirked at him.

He almost fell off the rock we were sitting on.

"Just kidding."

"Well," he looked me in the eyes, "lets go back home then."

I called Spirit of Fire to bring us back home, luckily for Yoh, the extra energy has worn off.

We were carried by Spirit of Fire, up, up, and higher into the sky. I watched the scenery of our ride go by. Even at night, it's beautiful. Of course, when Yoh's around, everything always turns for the better.

We landed at Funbari Hill, where Yoh and I were dropped off of Spirit of Fire's hand.

"Wait a second." He dug through his pocket to pull out a messily wrapped present, and hand it to me.

I opened it, and inside was a Kantana. I was beautiful, with my name engraved on the handle.

"I got Mosuke to make it, I know it's not much, bu-" his sentence was cut off by my lips against his.

He was surprised at first, but slowly responded by leaning into the kiss. I savored the sweet flavor of his mouth; I was sweet, something like honey.

We pulled apart slowly, and he looked into my eyes.

I smirked, "That, was better than your present."

Tell me how was it?

Way to sappy and fluffy, but I did try to add some humor.

Please review me!
