I'm sick, and I have a fever. Isn't that GREAT? My friends called me nuts cuz I went to school and did my exams... Oh well... I hate school, but I can't afford to miss a class.. Hehehe! So I took a bit of time writing... And I've decided to use the English translation names from now on. It seems to make more sense...

Michi: So, what do you want for your picture? Well, you have been reviewing and it's just my way of saying thank! I like this chapter too... Cuz Hao and Ely kissed! I love the couple together!

Wingweaver22: Well, as long as you guys like Hao like this, I think that it'll be fine. But he won't be THIS OOC after this chapter, I think. (well, still a little, cuz he WAS in love with Ely, right? Love changes people...) Good luck on vanishing in the air!

Winner-Loser: you can ask me to draw something too... Cuz you have been reviewing every single chapter. Aren't you going to ask? Hehehe!

Giulia: Thanks for reading this fanfic! It feels so great to have new people reading it!

Helena-Jeanne-Chibi: To be truth, I really like chapter 6... Cuz we get to see a little bit more of the main characters... My favorite is still the kiss part! Hehehe!

Disclaimer: I do not own SK characters, the only things I own is my story and my original characters.

This story happens few months after the end of SK anime. I have no clue what the manga is about so.... Please stick with the anime story line!

Past---Days of happiness

Trying to make for her own life was every hard for someone who had never done any housework. Other than that, she was very happy to be with Hao. He always had a way to make her smile or mad. He even invented a booklet called: 'How to get Ely mad in 3 seconds'. When he was with others, he was back to his usual ignorance self. She didn't really like it but couldn't do much about it because he wasn't doing that to her.

"Hao! Wait for me!"

A small long pink haired kid ran after a black haired boy. He was way faster than the small girl, and, by wanting to follow him, she tried to run faster. However, just as she was about to fall down, Hao caught her.

"Ely, you should be more careful. If you scarred your face, no one will want to marry you."

"Hao, you are so mean! It's your fault to begin with! You are walking too fast!"

"You are the one who is walking too slow."

Even though he said that, he slowed down to Elwynn's pace. She laughed, and he brushed. Then, it started raining. Hao took her hand and ran toward the nearest tree.

"Hey, I'll dry our clothes! I remember reading a spell for it..."

"Wait! Let's try it on that tree first..."

BOOM!

The tree exploded.

"Oups! Thanks, Hao. I almost got us killed."

"I wonder how you can live until today..."

"Like this! Lalala!"

"So why did you go after me?"

"Oh well..."

"So?"

"I want to talk!"

"Hum, see you in three days."

"WAIT! Don't go each time that you hear that I want to talk! It is just that I know nothing of you, and you know nothing of me!"

"You don't want to know me..."

"Of course I do! Let's find a place to sit down and talk, ok? Or I'll be mad!"

"Good for me! I'll have another thing to write in my booklet!"

"Hao! That's not funny!"

"It is!"

They went to the forest, and Hao immediately jumped to the top of the tree.

"Hao! How dare you abandon me here like this?"

"I just did. Didn't you say that you are good at fighting? Prove it to me."

"Get down..."

"Or are you just lying?"

"I am not! It's just that I can't jump with a dress."

"Oh I see. Then never mind, have fun being down there. I'll take a nap, and you will do all the talking."

"NO! Come down! "Pretty please with a cherry on top?"

"Nope!"

"Pretty please with chocolate on top? No! With cutie little me on top! How can you resist that! I am the cutest, right?"

"..."

"Hum... What was I asking you again? Before I talk about how cute I am... Or was I saying how good I am? It doesn't seem so..."

"Hahaha!"

"Oh! We were talking about you getting down the tree! Are you getting down?"

"Nope."

"Oh well. Then I won't make you the curry bread that you love."

"Curry bread? Coming down right now!"

He jumped off the tree. Using her rings, she took out a blanket and a basket. She took out some bread and handed them to him.

"Here, curry bread of all nations known, Japan's, you know, the usual."

"Oh... There is no Patch's?"

"Not today. I was tired to make this many already!"

"I see."

If Hao had a weakness, it would be his desire to eat curry bread.

"So, one bread, one answer. Do you agreed?"

"Sure!"

"Where are you from?"

"Here." He took his Indian style curry bread.

"How do you like here?"

"Hate it."

"Why?"

"No reason."

"Oh, ok." Not only did he take the cookie that he wanted, he stole another.

"How are your parents? I didn't see them yet..."

"They both died."

"Oh, sorry. Do you have any siblings?"

"No."

"When is your birthday?"

"..."

"That's no secret! Spill it!"

"Yesterday was my six years old."

"WHAT! And you didn't tell me!"

"I figure that you won't mind because I don't."

"But... but... but..."

"Do you have anymore questions? I want to eat the remaining breads."

"Oh, hum... What is the thing you fear the most?"

"Nothing."

"Nothing?"

"If I've to force myself to name one, it'll be you. You are WAY too annoying."

"You are just so mean to me... Ok. Who do you hate the most?"

"Humans."

"? Why humans? Aren't you one too?"

"..."

"Who do you like the most?"

"You."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Elwynn's face immediately became red.

"It's true. I've only one friend, and that's you."

"Let's see, is there something that I want to know..."

"Oh, while you are thinking, can I eat the breads?"

"Sure. Oh! I have one. What is your absolutely favourite thing to do?"

"Eating curry bread, Patch's ones!"

"...Hao, you are weird."

"I give you no thank."

"Hum... I can't think of anything else..."

"Either way, I've already finished your curry breads! Now it's my time for questions."

"Sure!"

"Who calls you Wynn Wynn?"

"Chris."

"Who is he?"

"Someone..."

"Who is he to you?"

"Like brother like friend, an important person."

"More important than me?"

"It's not the same."

"When's your birthday?"

"My birthday is three months and three days from now, so you better give me a present!"

"You didn't give me one!"

"You didn't tell me! Your lost! Wait! Hao, what is your weakness?"

"Do I really have to tell?"

"Yes!"

"The truth?"

"Yes!"

"I have no weakness!"

"Yes you have!"

"Oh yeah? What?"

"C-u-r-r-y-B-r-e-a-d!"

"Oh yeah, that's true."

"Hehehe."

---------

If only the peaceful days would last,

Then I'll have no reason to be sad.

How I long to be here with you

Where everyday of my life is true...

---------

These days were probably the happiest of their life. Elwynn didn't have to train, and Hao had a friend who didn't hate him. However, happiness was the one thing they couldn't have for long... Only in a few days, people from Patch, Eleanor family, and Asakura family found her...

"Hao... I just had a nightmare..."

"What? That you have been eating by a wolf?"

"No... My family has come to get me..."

"Do you want to go with them?"

"No! I don't want to! I just want to be here... With you!"

"Then don't go."

"I can't... They already know where I am..."

"How do you know?"

"My dream told me..."

"Dreams are nothing more than a projection of fears. You don't need to worry about it."

"But my dreams always come true."

"..."

"I'll have to go. Just don't follow me, promise me."

"..."

"I need you to promise me."

Just as she said those words, few people descended from the sky with their spirit control. They didn't say anything and just took her out of Hao's sight. Immediately after they were gone, a very young boy appeared. He had short blue hair and emerald green eyes.

"Have you seen few people passing by? And they must have a pink haired girl with them..."

"Why should I answer to someone that I don't know?"

"My name is Christopher. So now, have you seen such people?"

"I don't feel like answering you."

"This is no joke! I need to know now!"

"Don't want to."

"Why?"

"I don't feel like answering to anyone who has the name 'Chris' in his own."

"That's no reason! Why am I wasting my time here?"

He disappeared. Hao wanted to go after Elwynn, but she told him not to. Who cared about what she told him to do? Who could order him around? No one. He wanted to set for the search, but someone came to him.

"Are you Asakura Hao?"

"Does it matter? Get out of my way."

"It does matter. You have the blood of the strongest Shaman family. You could be great. Do not be like your father who ran away from the family just to be with your mother."

"It doesn't matter."

"It's a place where you can use your Shaman power without a single worry."

"Leave me alone."

He left that message and went away. However, it was too late, he couldn't catch the people who took Elwynn. It was then that the same person who talked to him earlier came to him.

"So you want to see Elwynn, is that right?"

"..."

"She'll be in the Asakura family for a while. If you are lucky enough, you may be able to see her."

"For real?"

"Yes, but only if you are lucky enough."

"Then I'll go there."

"Very well."

---------

Year and year passed, and yet Hao did not see Elwynn. It seemed that she disappeared. Nevertheless, he knew that she was here because he could hear the mind of others. Yes, he could see through all minds. It was something that developed after coming here. His coming to the Asakura family was not a total waste. He became much more powerful than all the trainees and most of the teachers. He was only 8. Then, because he was so powerful, the Asakura family sent him to eradicate evil spirits. He was the youngest Yin Yang master ever. His understanding of the five elements was at a very high level. Today was his first mission. It was rather easy. He was almost too lazy to raise a hand. But...

What kind of monster is he? A kid at this age with this much power?

After slaying a monster, that was usually what others said about him. No one truly understood him. Elwynn...

---------

At ten years old, he heard that Elwynn went away from the Asakura family and still decided to stay. Perhaps it was because he knew Elwynn was avoiding him. In five years, unless a person did all he could to avoid him, it was virtually impossible not to see someone who was in the same house. He continued his job as a Yin Yang master and listened to the hurtful things about his being a shaman.

...---End of chapter 7---...

I made up another reason why Hao is OOC! Well, before, when he was a kid, he's not THAT strong, right? So he's less arrogant. And he hadn't experienced much with the human world because he is isolated from there. Good reason, isn't it? And he is in love too, you know! And I know that I said that there will be action, but I just forgot that... Oh well, a little past won't hurt, right?
