Rating: PG. Kinda angsty I suppose, and very short…
Hao Asakura walked slowly towards his destination, smiling grimly. He had put them in his backyard, so they would not be damaged by those who hated them. It was that day again, a day many celebrated, while he wallowed in despair. He had a basket in each hand, and his cloak, worn and torn, fluttered in the soft breeze as he walked.
He came upon three stone tablets, and smiled sadly. At the first he deposited flowers and a pack of cigarettes. At the second he deposited flowers and a doll, fresh from repairs. At the final, he left flowers and another doll. He looked on at the final gravestone fondly.
"What I wouldn't give to see you smile like that again, after I told you…" whispered Hao softly as he got up and walked back into the house…
Hao had been thinking about it for a few months. Even though he had had a few lifetimes on his back, she did not. But he could not deny his feelings for her, that was for sure. He had worked up the nerve he thought he would always have, yet in this situation did not, and plain out told her.
"Macchi, I love you with all that I am. When I become Shaman King will you be my Shaman Queen?"
When she had smiled, that special smile she reserved just for him, Hao thought everything would always be okay as long as Macchi was happy. Unfortunately, as fate would have it, she would die in less then a month.
