little talk

Review thanks to pheenixgirl, Akira, Blue Savage, Akisuki Hashimoto, Cindy Asakura, Crossoverfan, Tikaru, Helena-Jeanne-Chibi, Carmen, Gothical Vamp, decilivious-jo, tlad, yuki, sweet-but-evil, bloody heart, longbca

Sorry for such a long delay, 2/3 of my computers had either a virus, or just the internet server was lousy (high price, slow service/speed) so now I got DSL…except on the wrong computer. So I'm using a different computer now, a lab top. And so I need to use a removable disk drive to transfer the chapter I typed on the other computer to this one. But unfortunately, the other computer isn't responding/ is unable to respond to the removable disk drive. SO I had to retype this entire chapter over. Ack.

Helena-Jeanne-Chibi thanks about that…I actually thought that Li Pai Wong was a walking talking cadaver…

review lord: about your latest comment, isn't the great fire spirit supposed to be defeated? Isn't Shaman King supposed to end that way or something? (don't tell me… but then, it can't be defeated? ;;)

sweet-but-evil: (oo) oh my. England! So far away…(American is me…)

Moving In

Chapter 13

Jun finished her sushi, and got up from the table.

"Um, Hao? Could you excuse us for a minute?" Jun asked. Watching the clam shaman's face with a smile at ease, she added, "Tamao?" Tamao nodded , got up, and followed Jun to the ladies restroom.

As soon as the door shut behind them Jun shot her an angry look, "What on earth do you think you're doing?" she whispered harshly at Tamao, "Why are you hanging out with him?"

Tamao just stared down at the tied floor of pastel blues. Why?

"Tamao, after this once, promise me that you won't see him unless if you're with Anna or Yoh. You're lucky to be living with them, since the Shaman King, and Queen are basically the only two people Hao listens to. Other than himself, anyway.

"And in case if you haven't figured it out, that's why he's living with you, Anna, and Yoh." Jun sighed, brushing her emerald hair back, "You know how Anna hates Hao, don't you?"

"Yeah, I do." Tamao responded with her eyes following the pacing in front of her.

"I'm sure you would think that she' normally never put up with him. But her Sensei must've asked her to keep Hao at their house so that he wouldn't cause too much trouble being be himself. I think it is…Kino? Her Sensei?" Jun paused for a moment of reflection, "Did Anna tell you any of this? Does she know you're here?"

"No, and no…"

"The only reason I found out was because Ren came home with the funniest look on this face because he said he saw Hao walking down the street to your house. I phoned Anna-san, and she just vaguely explained it all it me."

Tamao leaned on the door, not wanting to look up.

"I'm sorry, I guess I shouldn't have told you all this. Besides, it should've came from Anna." Jun started apologizing, "But promise. Stop hanging around Hao, and bringing him out like this. He shouldn't be out here without Anna, or Yoh knowing! He's a complete danger to society, humans, and spirits!"

Jun's voice came nearly at a shrieking peak, but just enough to cause echoes to fly off the tiles.

"No…he isn't." Tamao spoke, but not in her usual airy-light, shy voice.

Then what are we supposed to do with him? To stop him from going anywhere?

Maybe locking him up in a cage? A house? Like an animal?

"What?" Jun asked, oblivious to what the timid girl said.

"I said, 'No'." Tamao said more firmly.

Hao knows people don't like him. He's not stupid. And now that Yoh is Shaman King…it just seems like people just want to step all over him. I remember hearing rumors about him, sort of outrageous rumors, unbelievable, unthinkable. Just keep laughing.

"Oh! Excuse me, Miss." An elderly woman peaked, and stood behind the door with a yellow bucket, and mop.

"N-no, it's my fault." Tamao stuttered, being her usual self, and letting the lady through the doorway. As soon as the lady was through, Jun grabbed Tamao's arm, and gently ed her back to the table where Hao sat.

Hao looked up at them from his empty plate, "Ready to go?" he asked with that smile.

"Yeah, let's go." Jun pointed at a particular store through the glass windows, "There. See that store? That one has the best dresses, and accessories. And it isn't too expensive either." She adjusts the barrettes in her green hair.

sorry it's so short.
