little talk
Sorry, it's been a long time. I went off to a camp, and off on vacation. So I haven't had a lot of time to type. A vacation from everything basically (they didn't have any accessible computers for me at that camp…).
Andrea Nefisto: ponchifox, conchitanuki
isabella -- it's not that i dont' like the hao.tamao pairing -- and truth is it's my favorite! (peering over into the stories listed under hao/tamao, apparently i began it) a problem of mine is not having a lot of time to type (i get harked off the computer) as for my plot, of course: get hao.tamao together, but there was a special ending plot (as you've read, about the bridge, and picture) that i didnt' knwo how to get to. there's more plot of the ending i'm trying to figure out (aahhh! and the tense conversation of confessing love)
Review lord: that's right…I did forget poor Ren…(and quite honestly, he is one of my favorites but no fanfic on him…)
general audience:
to me, tamao/hao is sort of a hard couple to get together (but they're perfect together!) tamao is shy, conservative. which (haha, technically speaking) is rather yielding to the relationship. Horo could easily get her in a story since he's more outgoing, and up front about it (as far as i know). but for hao, IN MY OPINION, he may be cocky about taking over the world but i dont' think that personality is so much here because love isn't a shaman tournament (funny if it could be though, if you want to steal this idea, just let me know). and i think hao is smart enough to know that. which makes him ...maybe...a little shy too? but i think he's a bit like Yoh. shrugging it off, i guess. but really! when he was in the shaman tournament he could have any girl he wanted, and he chose anna (my guess being she's the best of all talents) but i don't think he really liked her that much, enough to go with her beyond shamanic reasons.
i was reading the first few chapters i wrote of this fanfic, and i nearly gasped. my heart stopped, at least. HAO IS SO WEIRD! how did i do that, anyway? i really really didn't know hao well (not at alllllll...)
btw, i dont' know how everyone else feels about this, but i hate it when hao is always put as the character being kind of thug-guy. okay... i mean. he's liked by all the girls, and has the lowest grades, and could care less about them. (okay, so maybe his only love is the shaman tournament?) but i still read these fanfics with this hao-personality (i'm not that picky..)
Disclaimer: i don't own Shaman King
Btw, this is fiction. So I'm making up Tamao's past

Moving In
Chapter 15
When I was little, there was a time when spirits went wild. Or at least that's how Yohmei-sama said it. He told me to be careful and alert, and to watch my steps on the way to school.
School. It was a public school.
He had Conchi, and Ponchi follow me to school, and back. Basically have them follow me everywhere I go to protect me. Knowing Conchi and Ponchi, they're quite talkative, and energetic. And having the ability to see spirits didn't seem to be abnormal to me at that time.
Though people at school found it was funny.
When Conchi or Ponchi was talking to me, I'd answer. And when they went running about, I'd go grab them back. Running around the classroom with my arms waving in the air uselessly.
They'd laugh. Laughing at my insanity, talking to my invisible friends. To myself.
What happened to all of them? I used to be a normal girl…or at least I was treated as one. I used to have everything. Or at least, as a kid. When we're little, we all want to be loved, and have friends.
My friends disappeared so fast.
Yohmei-sama took me out of public schools since I was causing too much trouble in class. He let me be home-schooled. That's when I found that Sohmei-sama also had another student. Yoh…. I didn't really realize it but he was here the whole time, at the training grounds on Asakura Estates.
We spent a lot of time together since there wasn't really anybody else around. To me it seemed that he was lonely too. Though it was funny, how he was always so busy with Yohmei-sensei training him yet he always managed for some time to see me.
'Your hair…it's the color of cherry blossoms.' he told me one day. I know he only meant to be just nice about it. But …it's been a long time, since anyone ever talked to me, in that way.
"Dinnnnner!" Patter, patter, patter. "Please come out people, don't be lateeee!" Yoh's voice echoed through the halls. Annaannanana!
Tamao sat straight up in bed, she had fallen asleep that afternoon. The pencil box was still on her desk. Still open. She shut it, and shoved it back into her desk. The broom leaned against her desk. Oh no…I didn't finish sweeping. She grabbed the broom, and dragged it with her down the stairs.
"Dinnerdinnerdinner? I want some dinner."
"MmmMmmmMMMMmm."
"Tamao, came we come with you to dinner?" Ponchi peeked his head around the door. Conchi's head on top of his. "Pleeeeease?"
"Anna will be there…"
Immediately, the two heads disappeared with the sound of a door shut.
"Tamao?"
Tamao whipped around, slamming her back against the door. Yoh.
"The two little guys are back, eh? Hope they're not causing trouble for ya'." he smiles.
"And if they are," a charming voice came from aside, "you can lend them to my spirit, and I'm sure he'll appreciate such a present." the latter smiles also, though not in a light way the first did.
Yoh reached out for her wrist. "C'mon, Tamao. Don't wanna be late for dinner." Yoh kept his hand wrapped tighly around her wrist, and led her away from him. The shadow still loomed at the top of the stairs. He let go of her hand, and left her in front of the bathroom. "Wash your hands." Yoh continued on to the dinning room.
Tamao stood in front of the sink. She washed her hands, and combed through her mangled hair. Cherry blossoms…they're out now. It's spring. She dries her hands, and goes out into the hall.
"Oh."
There's nothing on the table. I didn't wake up to cook dinner today! I hope Anna-san already thought of something. Maybe we're going to a restaurant, or take-out? Or maybe we have some leftovers….
"Stop." Anna spoke in a succinct voice. "Sit down."
Tamao backed away from the refrigerator, and sat down in her spot at the table.
"Tamao, I have something to tell you. Yoh, get out." So. Cold.
Yoh got up, and left the room with little mumbling. Sounds of dragging in the halls. "What's going on?" "SShhh."
Anna sits silently. Waiting for the sound of the sliding door close.
The sliding friction, just barely audible, stops.
"Tamao. I need to ask something of you." Anna said more calmly.
"Of course, I'll do it!" her heart beats faster.
"Relax," the queen takes a sip of her tea, "Let me tell you first. It's about Kino-sensei." Her eyes look up at Tamao. She sighs, "I already asked Yoh to do this for me, but he has a meeting with Silva, nad the consul members. I…I don't know why or anything yet, at least. But anyway, he can't go. And I already told him that I'd go only he will stay at home because Kino, and Yohmei-sensei want us to watch over Hao because of …you know. You understand, right?"
Tamao nodded her head.
"I want you to go see Kino-sensei. I got a call a few hours ago, and she's very sick. I'm worried about her. Could you go in my absence? Please?"
Anna always asks everything of everyone. But at the moment, the sincerity in her eyes, a face twisted in worry.
"Like I said, 'Of couse, I'll do it'." Tamao gave back a blank stare.
A comforted look came upon Anna's face. Her eyes softened, and a small smile begins to form on her face. "Thanks. Of course, I know. Thank you."
Tamao stares down at the table.
"Oh yes, I've already contacted Jun -- Ren will be waiting for you by their airplane. You'll have dinner in air, so you can go pack up now. And take the two animals with you."
------
"Quiet a drawl, isn't it?" Ren yawned, sitting in his leather, farther-than-first-class, chair. Surrounds him are all different kinds of entertainment systems. Video games, movies, sound speakers, extra room space, and even a glass of red wine in his left hand.
He yawns again. All of her luggage already packed up and stored elsewhere in the massive aircraft. Already in the air, flying away to Itsumo. Ren's stiffness was exposed through the one stiff peak in his hair. "So, why the rush to go to Itsumo?" Ren asked after a while, "Asakura Estates?"
Do I say? "Kino-sensei isn't feeling well right now." Tamao spoke rather quickly.
Responded with a short, "Oh."
Not a very sympathetic guy.
Tamao looked out the window. The nighttime life of the city, small blinks of light emitting from below.
