Author's note: This chapter is my favorite, it tells about Alyssa's life, why she's the way she is, and how she met Hao, it also tells Hao Anna came to the Asakura house hold! You must know, that none of this is accurate, no flames, please!
Disclaimer: I do not own Shaman King or any of the characters associated with it, I only own Alyssa!

Chapter fourteenAlyssa's story
1
"Where's Alyssa?" Anna asked Yoh.
"She went with Hao," Yoh answered.
"Well, where's Hao?" Anna asked.
"I don't know," Yoh replied, smiling innocently at his fiancée.
"..."Anna sighed, losing her patience.
"Who are you looking for? Maybe, I can help," Alyssa said, walking up to Yoh and Anna.
"You," Anna answered.
"What for?" Alyssa asked, curiously.
"I have some questions for you," Anna said.
"What kind of questions?" Alyssa asked.
"When we were little, where did you go? Why did you change when our parents left us all alone? Why are you so different from before? Why aren't we as close as we used to be?" Anna asked, staring hard at her sister.
"I changed when our parents left, because I learned that we couldn't depend on others, and you can only trust yourself, unless you met someone just like you, whom you know for sure. It's just you and the world; in order to take care of yourself you have to be strong, otherwise, you'll get nowhere. When I left you, it was for your own good. I felt as though, if I'd have stayed with you, I'd end up killing you. That's not what I wanted, also, because I met Hao. We aren't as close as before, because we do not spend much time together; we have different views on the world, and you're busy training Yoh, while I'm spending time with Hao," Alyssa explained.
"Well, you answered all my questions, but that's not what I really wanted," Ann a admitted.
"Well, what do you want? You asked me to answer all your questions, and I did!" Alyssa said, crossly.
"I think what Anna wants you to do is to tell your life story," Yoh explained.
"...Is that what you want, Anna-chan?" Alyssa asked, looking at the lighter brown-haired girl.
"Yes," Anna said.
"Alright, I'll tell you the story, starting all the way from the very beginning..." Alyssa said, as she, Yoh, and Anna pulled up three chairs, and sat down.

"Mommy, daddy!" cried a 4-year old girl, with light, brown hair, wearing a black dress.
"They're not coming back, Anna, so just stop crying!" a girl, with darker, brown hair, wearing a dark purple dress exclaimed to her twin sister.
"...Why aren't they coming back, Alyssa?" the girl, known as Anna asked.
"Because they're scared of us, scared of what we can do," the dark haired girl, named Alyssa said.
"Why are they afraid?" Anna asked.
"Because we can call to spiwits, and talk to them," Alyssa answered the naive girl.

"You stay here, I'm gonna scout the area," Alyssa said to Anna, as she walked deeper into the dark forest.
"Okay, I'll be waiting on you!" Anna called, as she waved goodbye to her sister, not knowing that she wouldn't see her again, till 10 years later.

"...Maybe, I shouldn't have weft Anna. Something could her; no I won't think wike that, she has to take care of herself," Alyssa said to herself, walking with her eyes closed; deep in thought.
"Ugh!" she grunted, when she fell back on the ground.
"You know, you should weally watch where you're gowing," said a 4-year old, whom had a scowl on his face.
"Sowwy, I didn't mean to wun into you!" Alyssa snapped at the boy.
"I never seen you awound here before, what's your name?" the boy asked, his brown-red hair looking brighter in the moonlight.
"My name's Alyssa," Alyssa said, "What's yur name?"
"Hao," the bout answered.
"Hao?" Alyssa questioned.
"Yes," Hao said, when he heard Alyssa laughing at him.
"What kind of name is Hao?" she asked.
"A good one!" Hao yelled.
"..." Alyssa sighed, walking past the young Asakura.
"What's wrong?" Hao asked, following after Alyssa.
"My pawents just weft me, and I weft my sister, 'cause I thought I'd kill her," Alyssa explained, eyes shining with unshed tears, and head bowed to the ground.
"Oh..." Hao trailed off, wrapping his arms around Alyssa.
"It's okay, you can cry," Hao soothed.
"..."Alyssa cried harder onto Hao's chest.
"You can come home with me," Hao said.
"...Okay!" Alyssa agreed, and Hao led her to a big mansion.
"WOW! You live here?" Alyssa exclaimed!
"Yup!" Hao smiled, leading Alyssa by the hand into his home.

"Hello, what's a little girl, like you doing out here all alone?" asked an old woman.
"My pawents weft me, and my sister weft, and hasn't weturned yet," Anna explained, "Have you seen a girl, who looks like me, but's wearing a purple dwess, and her hair's darker than mine!"
"No, you're the only person out here," the old woman said, "But come with me, you can stay with me for a while. What's your name?"
"Anna, what's yours?" Anna asked, following the old woman.
"My name is Kino-Sama," Kino answered, smiling at the 4-year old girl.

"Hao, who is this?" a woman, with long, black hair asked.
"This is Alyssa-chan, I met her in the fowest, she said her pawents left her, and she left her sister," Hao explained to the woman, whom happened to be his mother.
"Why did you leave your older sister?" Hao's mother asked.
"She's my twin sister, and I'm 3 minutes older!" Alyssa corrected.
"I weft her, because if I didn't, I'd end up killing her. Our pawents weft us, because we can see spiwits and things," she explained.
"That's fine, Hao, our family, and I can see spirits, as well, so you're welcome to stay here. My name is Keiko Asakura, and the man standing by the wall, is my husband, Mikihisa Asakura," the black haired woman said.
"Thank you!" Alyssa smiled, still holding onto Hao's hand.
"I'll take you up to the room, you'll stay in," Keiko said, leading Hao and Alyssa up the stairs.
"Are you a Shaman?" Alyssa asked.
"Yes," Keiko answered, staring at Alyssa, "How do you know about Shamans?"
"Because, I'm a Shaman and an Itako, so was my grandma and grandpa, but my pawents didn't want me and my sister to be Shamans, so they weft us," Alyssa explained.
"Where are your grandparents?" Keiko asked, curiously.
"They died," Alyssa said, sadly.
"Oh..." Keiko said stopping in front of a closed door, feeling sorrow for the young girl.
"This will be your room, Hao's room is next to yours, if you need anything," Keiko explained, opening the door to show Alyssa a beautiful room, with dark purple carpet, white walls, a light brown ceiling fan, a full-sized bed, with a purple comforter, Japanese Kanji's on the wall, along with a picture of an angel, holding a white kitten, and another picture of a tiger and its cub.
"WOW! It's so pwetty!" Alyssa exclaimed, walking into the room.
"I'm glad you like it, Hao will show you around," Keiko said, leaving the two kids alone.

"This is where you live?" Anna exclaimed!
"Yes, I'll introduce you to Keiko and Mikihisa, my son, so just follow me!" Kino ordered, and soon they spotted Kino's son talking with his wife, Keiko.
"Mikihisa, Keiko, I found a little girl in the forest, I told her she could live here. Her name's Anna, she claims her parents and twin sister left her," Kino explained to her son and daughter-in-law.
"Anna, does your sister happen to be a dark-haired brunette, wearing a dark purple dress, named Alyssa?" Keiko asked.
"YES!" Anna exclaimed, "Have you seen her?"
"You're a Shaman correct?" Mikihisa asked.
"Well, not exactly, Alyssa is, because our grandpawents thought Alyssa was stronger than me, and could be a Shaman, so she was going to train me to be an Itako, but they died," Anna explained.
"Alyssa is here, but she's with my son, Hao, but I'll keep you on the other side of the mansion, with my other son, Yoh. Yoh and Hao are twin brothers, but you are to say nothing to him about Alyssa and Hao, understood?" Keiko asked.
"Yes, Keiko-Sama," Anna bowed respectively.
"I'll show her to her room," Mikihisa offered, and Anna followed him.

"...I believe, I'll teach Anna how to be an Itako," Kino said, "Would you like me to teach Alyssa?"
"Alyssa seems to have already know her Shaman techniques, I will see how far along she is as an Itako, and train her to be a Shaman along with Hao, but I will not let her know that Anna is here, it's obvious that she wants nothing to do with her, she actually thinks that she will kill her, and I believes she is right, there is an evil presence lurking within her, just like Hao, it's probably, because she has also been brought back to life, and has started over anew, like Hao, but she is much more innocent, and seems to can't remember anything of her past life. Not as of yet, anyway," Keiko explained, as she and Kino went their separate ways.
Author's note: I think this is the longest chapter I have ever written. I hope you enjoyed reading it, as much as I enjoyed typing it. Please no flamers!
