Chapter 13: No Classes
Hao was in Yoh's room. He laid down on the bed and took off his blindfold. He clutched it in one of his hands and opened his eyes. He still can't see anything. He closed his eyes and he still can't see anything. He sighed and turned to one side and tried to sleep. He couldn't sleep from his dream. He nearly forgot all those memories since they were from many, many years ago. He held the blindfold near to him and slept.
Asaha was sleeping under a tree. He woke up when he heard the rustle of the grass nearing him. He looked up and saw a three-eared demon. It was nearly as tall as Asaha. Asaha continued to stare at it with full curiosity. Asaha felt strong energy from this demon. He felt that it was dangerous with this being. He slowly stepped back until he felt the bark of the huge tree behind him.
The demon also stepped forward. Asaha bent to his knees and buried his head between it. "Hey kid. Don't get scared." The demon said. "Who are you? Why are you here? What do you want from me? Wha—" "Wait. Don't start asking too much questions. I'm Ohachiyo. I'm a demon. I'm here because I will be your friend… I was just bored and then I saw you all alone sleeping under this tree. Name?" The demon finshed. Asaha widened his eyes and wondered, 'This demon can talk!' "Of course I could talk. Stupid human." Ohachiyo said. "How'd you know what I thought?" Asaha asked. "I am a demon. I have that ability. So, what is your name, like what I said?" Ohachiyo demanded. "I don't want my old name anymore…" Asaha slowly said. "And that would be?"
"Asaha-douji. That is my old name."
"So, you want to change it into…?"
"Mappa-douji."
"Interesting. Now this would be a start of a relationship."
Ohachiyo and Mappa were together since then and became best of friends.
Hao woke up. 'Why are these dreams going back to me now?' He thought. Suddenly, he heard the doorbell from down stairs. He wore the blindfold around his head again and he went out of Yoh's room and went down the stairs.
He reached the door and opened it. It was Yoh.
"Why did you come back?" Hao said. "I thought that you were supposed to be in school?" Hao smirked and led Yoh in. "The teachers had a meeting. So classes were cancelled off." Yoh said as the both of them went back to the room. It was already Thursday, and Anna won't come home until next Tuesday. They both cleaned the house and made it sparkling clean.
They went into the room and Yoh changed his clothing. He dumped his uniform in his laundry and laid down at the bed.
Hao laid down the bed beside Yoh and closed his eyes. "So." Hao began. "How did you know that there were no classes today?" Hao asked. "Well, there was a sign there that says, 'Meeting today. No classes' in front of the school gate. The other students also walked back home." Yoh replied as Hao sat up and so did Yoh.
"Are you sure?" Hao asked with a pout on his face.
"Yes and please do NOT do that face in front of me?" Yoh said in a pleading voice.
Hao removed the pout on his face and sat d with his feet crossed in front of him. He continued to look down, his bangs covering his face.
"Yoh?" Hao slowly said as he looked at his hands.
"Yes?" Yoh was currently looking at his closet finding for something.
"In what ways can you remember someone who already passed away and you loved that person very much?" This question caught Yoh's attention immediately. He slowly looked around as Hao continued to look down to his feet. "Why are you asking?" Yoh sat down beside Hao with Bob CDs beside him and examined each and one of them carefully.
Hao raised his head and looked at Yoh. "You know about my reincarnations, right?"
"Um… Yeah. That was kinda weird when I learned that I was old too." Yoh laughed a bit.
Hao smiled and continued, "On my first life… Darn… I can't explain it that well…" He said as he placed one of his hands on his forehead.
Yoh looking quite disappointed, patted Hao on the back.
"But I can show you." Hao slowly said and placed his hand on Yoh's forehead. Yoh felt unconscious instantly and fell on the bed. Hao laid him beside him and continued to put his hand on Yoh's forehead.
Yoh opened his eyes and looked around. He stood up from where he was currently laying down and looked around. He saw a big tree and heard laughing noises from the other side. Yoh slowly walked around and saw two beings. A small child with long hair and a three tailed dog-like thing.
"Hello?" Yoh slowly said. He tried to touch one of them but his hands just went through.
"Just watch." A voice boomed around Yoh's ear.
"Hao! Where are you?"
"Since there can't be two same souls at the same time, I will just be around explaining each event that you will see."
"…"
Yoh continued to watch the two eat a plastic full of candy.
"Who's the demon?"
"Ohachiyo. My first friend. He is demon, which was also like me. Alone. So we became best of friends."
"That tasted great. At least that tasted better than grass." The long haired kid said. His voice sounded like Hao's except that it was slightly higher. Something near to Yoh's voice.
"Hao? Is that you?" Yoh asked.
"Yep. That's me in m first life. Weird thing is that, I ate grass. I didn't have money back then and I didn't really know how to become a shaman. All I can do is talk to ghosts and demons. But they were all afraid of me. I don't know why…"
"It always looked weird whenever you ate grass…" Ohachiyo sighed as he stood up and got the plastic bag of candy. "Still want some Mappa-Douji?" Ohachiyo said as he handed out the plastic bag to the kid.
"Mappa-Douji?" Yoh examined the kid's smiling face that looked like Hao's.
"That was my first name, no actually my second."
"What was your first one?"
"Asaha- Douji."
"Where are your parents? I thought that they were with you.
"They both kinda died."
"How?"
"Stop mentioning my name in that manner."
"Fine… In what way did your parents die?"
Then after that, Yoh's surroundings changed into a small park. There were a lot of toys to play with, a big slide, a sandbox and many little kids. Then Yoh turned around to see the clock strike 5:00 p.m.
"It's time to go now, Asaha-Douji." A lady said as she held the little boy's arm. His hair was only until his shoulders and he was starting to cry. "Demo mama…" The little boy started to cry, his small tears running down his cheeks. The lady bent down and wiped off the tears. "Tomorrow, we'll go back to this park okay?"
"Okay, mama." The little boy, whose name is Asaha-Douji, smiled cutely and continued to cling to the older mother.
Yoh followed the both of them until they reached a small house near a very big tree. The two entered the house and Yoh followed in.
Asaha was currently playing with the bugs on the floor as the older woman was cooking food. After a while, the older woman called Asaha for dinner and they both ate.
"Arigatou mama." Asaha said.
"For what?" The older woman said.
"For taking care of me. I really love mama very much." Asaha smiled, his mouth being filled with the curry that they were currently eating.
"Because I love Asaha very much." The older woman said as she wiped the dirt around Asaha's mouth. Asaha smiled cutely at her mother as Yoh smiled as well. After a while, Yoh smelt a scent of burning fire nearby. The older woman seemed alarmed as she looked back and saw the raging fire going towards them. The woman widened her eyes as she picked up Asaha from his chair and moved out of the house. The woman continued to run as she tripped at the ground outside of the house. Asaha went out of her arms as Asaha landed on the anti-fire ground.
"MAMA!" Asaha yelled to his mother. He tried to move closer to his mother but the heat was draining out the energy from Asaha. He hid his eyes behind his arm as he tried to go forward.
"Asaha, go somewhere safe…" The older woman said as tears start to appear at the corners of her eyes. "Demo, mama…" Asaha stopped walking as he watched her mother burn into the fires.
Yoh watched as the reflection of the fire appeared on his brown eyes. He watched each and every second of the terrifying scene as his own heart started to beat faster and harder.
"Just go!" Asaha's mother yelled as she was burnt into ashes. Asaha looked back once more as he turned around and ran away quickly. Yoh watched and followed the little Asaha run away from his burning home. Asaha started to pant heavily as he stopped by the big tree. Yoh also stopped running as the both of them looked back at the raging fire who has killed Hao's first mother.
After Asaha started to cry, Yoh felt himself fading as he blacked out again…
"Yoh… Yoh? YOH!" A voice started to yell at Yoh's ear. Yoh fluttered his eyes open, groaning a little, just to see Hao with his usual blindfold looking all worried.
"What…" Yoh muttered.
Hao sighed as he said, "So, how was my past?"
"… I never thought that you were already alone when you were born…" Yoh replied to Hao's question as he looked down from the edge of the bed, bringing both of his hands to his face.
Hao just looked at Yoh and sighed again.
"…Yoh…" Hao whispered to himself as he watched Yoh's hands overflow with his own tears.
