Chapter 3: The Argument

Author's Notes: Teehee updating errr…Well can't update so fast cause my brother won't let me use the internet ahahahahahahah.. Anyway thanks for reviewing.! Errr well I don't really know how Hana's character is suppose to act. I'm just sure that that's his name and so on and so forth. On with the fic! Enjoy!

"Dia ne!"( I don't really know how to spell it sorry.) hao says and disappears into the hot summer sky. (Ok so let's just say he jumped on a tree and then to the nearest roof and down to the street.)

Hana thinks, "Oka-san and Otou-san(and again spell check anybody?) will be very worried if I go… What am I saying! After all that I went through!"

So he continues with his training bearing in mind that it would be over soon. So let's skip on to the rest of the day like say dinner.

"Mom! Dad! Tadaima!" Hana said looking very tired.

"Did you get the groceries?" Anna said in the usual way

"Hai!" Hana said quickly

"Good now go help your father with dinner." Anna said

"Do I have to? I just ran 25 miles! Can I rest for a bit." Hana said

"Fine." Anna said

Hana joyfully ran to the living room and sat down. He was about to turn on the T.V. when…

"Ok rest time is over! Now go help your dad with dinner." Anna said in a demanding way.

Hana shrugs and makes his way towards the kitchen.

"Konbawa oto-san" Hana says opening the door to the kitchen where his father was. But something was wrong. There was no usual reply from his father. He moved to his dad and found him just staring there and there was a horrible smell coming from the boiling pot that was supposedly dinner.

Hana moved slowly to the pot. He took a pair of chopsticks and used them to slowly lift the top of the lid. When he lifted the lid of the pot, a burst of black smoke came up and the smell grew stronger and Hana fell over because of the stench. Hearing this, Anna quickly rushed into the kitchen with an annoyed expression on her face.

"Seriously, can't I leave you two in here to cook our food for 1 minute without something to go wrong!" Anna said frustrated as she opened the door.

Anna carries Hana out the kitchen. Then drags Yoh out. The father and son are coughing.

"Yoh ! Don't tell me you fell asleep while the food was cooking? Hana why didn't you call me!"

Yoh and Hana stop coughing and look up at Anna with waterfall tears coming down their dirty faces.

"Well Anna I couldn't sleep last night because…" Yoh starts to explain when Anna cuts in

"Yes you couldn't sleep last night because you were hungry. Well If you came home a lot faster and didn't slack off in the middle of your training schedule you could've had more food." Anna said annoyingly while opening the window of the kitchen to let the remaining smoke trapped inside to go out. Then she turns around to face her son and asks" So what's your excuse Hana?"

Hana looks down

"Ok fine, but I expect you two to make a better meal than yesterday ok!" Anna says turning away from her son

Hana starts to cry.

"Mom why do you have to be so demanding all the time! Can't we even just have one happy normal family like meal? Can't we have one time when we could satisfy you by cooking once because every time we cook we put our best efforts into it! Can't you just appreciate that hard work besides the taste of the food? Why do you always have to be so hard on me and oto-san all the time? Why can't we have even just a single time where we can be happy just enjoying each other's company?" Hana says with tears of anger streaming down his cheeks.

This hits Yoh and Anna really hard.

Anna looks down then slaps Hana on the cheek with her left hand.

Hana's eyes turn into pained ones and looks at his mother with more tears coming down his cheeks.

Anna looks up but with tears streaming down her cheeks. (Anna is crying!)

"Don't you understand this is for your own good Hana!" Anna said while grabbing her child's shoulders.

"We are a family of shamans! More specifically we are the family of the current shaman king! We've told you many times the danger of being weak. Even though if you were a kid other people would have no mercy on you especially because as I said you are the son or the current shaman king and we wouldn't want to loose or have something bad happen to you! We only do this because we care a lot!" Anna said with so much pain in her eyes

"Calm down Anna" Yoh said in a soft gentle and comforting way

"Hana as your mom said we only do this because we care about you." Yoh says softly while trying to remember all the hardships he had to encounter before to become shaman king.

Hana turns away from his dad's comforting gaze

Yoh takes Anna's hands off his son and puts one of his on Hana's shoulder and smiles the carefree Asakura trademark smile.

"How could you understand what I'm going through! You both were happy and had friends! You would laugh and have fun! As for me all I have for friends are the spirits who lurk around! And all I can talk to are you guys. I would like to befriend normal kids too… People would always make fun of me…" Hana said with more tears coming down his face.

Yoh's smile faded away

"Look Hana we do know how you feel…" Yoh said now remembering more of his past.
