Hi I'm back after getting the computer off my sister. It's so unfair her story has more reviews than mine. I'll cry about it another time.
Warnings: Same as in the prologue. If you want to see them then go look.
Kaya's window said it was hardto think of Ren as Halikar. I changed his name so I could get across a point I've been thinking about lately. Ren grew up with physical, verbal and mental abuse and that shaped him into the cold, arogant Ren we all know and love. For me this is a 'what if?'. What if Ren got a chance to grow into the person he could of been if he grew up around love and acceptance? So Ren is the boy who grew up with the abuse and Hal is his second chance. Hal is what he would have been if he grew up in a loving and caring atmosphere.
This is deadacated to Nadare-chan for being my first reviewer.

Hao was getting worried. He still had the same problem he had almost a year ago. How was he going to explain to Hal about both of them being shamans? He had begun to love his life over the past year and he didn't think he was ready to lose it if Hal didn't like the idea of being a shaman. He couldn't lose his angel now. Hao had proposed to Hal a month ago! Hal had accepted immediately and now Hao was afraid to lose his fiancé. The Shaman Tournament had been postponed due to the fact that there hadn't been enough shamans to enter but now there seem to be enough so it was starting again in two months and he was going to win it this time.

"Hao-koi what's wrong?" Asked a gentle, innocent voice he had come to love. He decided that if he was ever going to tell Hal then he was going to do it now.

"Hal-kun I need to tell you something. We're special you see, we aren't human, we are something called sha…" Hao tried to explain but was silenced by a quick peck on the lips from his fiancé whose golden eyes were shining in love and acceptance.

"I know Hao-koi. We're shamans. We can see, speak to and be possessed by spirits. We also can do spirit union. I know because I saw a spirit as I was walking past the graveyard nearby a while back and this spirit of a nice woman explained it to me" Hal said softly. Hao just stared at Hal. He could see Hal was thinking about something. Halikar and Ren were so different yet the same. Ren used to hide the soul he had, ashamed his soul was pure light. Hao used to see past the masks and see the true soul of Ren Tao. Now it was facing him without any masks. Halikar is who Ren should have grown up to be. A gentle, kind, caring young man whose capacity for loving, helping and forgiving people simply astounded him. Hao came back to reality when he saw Hal pouting.

"It's a shame that I won't be able to go to the Shaman Tournament with you. I would've liked to see a battle or two," Halikar said with a sigh. That suddenly reminded Hao of something. He quickly grabbed Hal's arm and ran to the nearest lake.

"Hao-koi why are we here?" Hal asked.

"Trust me Hal-kun. Now I'm going to call my Spirit Guardian and if you feel anything strange then just follow your instincts," Hao said quickly then took a step back. If he was right then soon he wouldn't be the only shaman with an elemental spirit.

"Oh Great Spirit of Fire, I summon you, come to your master," Hao shouted. Hal felt that something was wrong. When he saw the Spirit of Fire his instinct took over.

"Oh Blessed Spirit of Water, I beseech you, come to your child," Hal shouted. Hao smirked and watched as a figure of pure crystalline water appeared in a flash of blue light. It appeared as a female figure twisting in on herself made of water. Hal just stared with wide liquid gold eyes.

"Is… is she my Spirit Guardian?" Hal stuttered.

"Yes Hal-kun, this is the Spirit of Water. She is your Spirit Guardian for the rest of eternity," Hao said still smirking at his innocent lover's amazement.

"And now my angel, it's time to train," Hao said and then attacked.

Before you review and shout WTF happened to Bason, let me explain. Ren's been missing for a year. Everyone thinks he's dead so Bason moved on to the afterlife because without his master he didn't have a reason to stay. And now that Bason is gone Ren's get a new Spirit Guardian. Ok PLEASE review. I can't take the fact my sister's TINY prologue got more reviews than my two chapters. Ok I'm off to start the next chapter. Buh bye.
