I know there hasn't been that much action so far, but there will be once all the characters arrive!
Yoh Anna's Children:
Hana:
Hana is a 14 year old boy in 9th grade. He has waist-length dark brown hair, brown eyes and is tall and skinny for his age. He looks like Hao. He is very calm and lazy like his father, but he's far from stupid. Like his mother, he has her firmness and a genuine trait that makes him deeply respected and well-liked among his many friends and peers. Although sibling rivalry often breaks out, he is very nice and shows much affection for his brothers and sisters. (He is a very experienced and strong shaman) His spirit: Spirit of Earth
Keiko:
Keiko is a 12 year old girl in 7th grade. She has shoulder-length blond hair and grey-blue eyes. She is a spirited, no-nonsense girl like her mother and spends much time training Hana and her younger brothers to be stronger shamans. Having inherited her father's heart-melting smile, she could easily manipulate any boy at her school and make him her puppy but doesn't tolerate many boys. Her siblings love her for being the strong older sister that she is and her younger siblings always go to her for help when they've been bullied at school. (She is an itako trained by her mother and great-grandmother, Kino.)
Yuna:
Yuna is a 12 year old girl in the 7th grade. Yes, she is Keiko's twin, younger by 4 minutes. She has middle-length golden hair and coffee-colored eyes. Twin she may be, her personality is completely different from that of Keiko's. She is very shy and sometimes tends to let people jump all over her. She has a deep passion for music and art. Like Keiko, she is very attractive and popular at school. People usually tend to like her because she is so quiet and thoughtful. She confides alot to her older brother and twin. She also seems to watch a certain navy-blue haired 14 year-old boy alot... (She is an itako trained by her mother and great-grandmother, Kino.)
Yohnta:
Yohta is an 8 year old boy in the 4th grade. He has gold hair and dark brown eyes. He is very smart for his age. He has developed an interest in computers and technology and takes a computer course run by none other than his uncle Manta. He is the family's technichian. He seems very unaware at how smart he really is and tries hard to do good and be obediant. (He is a shaman that is currently training under his father and grandfather.)
Yohmaru:
Yohmaru is 5 years old and in Kindergarten. He has light brown hair and amber eyes. He is a very silly boy but tries his best to be a good son to his parents. He is always optimistic and selfless. He is very spirited and loves to play tag with Amidamaru. He regards everything with curiosity. He is the family troublemaker. (He is a shaman training under his great-grandfather Yohmei... He seems to be very afraid of the old man.)
Hana glanced at his watch. It was almost 4 pm. In a few hours, his aunts and uncles would be coming to spend a few weeks. A couple of them were here already actually... There was Uncle Hao talking to Yohnta and there was Aunt Jun humming while reading a book on the sofa in the giant living room. He also knew that Uncle Ryu was in the kitchens. Curiously, Hana walked to the family room and saw his Uncle Faust watching Aunt Elisa play the piano with utter adoration. Gotta tell Yohmaru not to go into the family room... Hana noted. Yohmaru's shyness for "pretty Aunt Elisa" had turned into complete horror when he found out that she was... a "zombie", a word Keiko had accidentaly let slip when they were explaining to him about the blue strip on Uncle Faust's body.
Suddenly, someone screamed from outside and Aunt Elisa stumbled on a note. Hana frowned and looked out the window from the doorway. Yohmaru was playing tag with Amidamaru, creating a racket outside with his screams of pleasure. Elisa chuckled, walked to the window and just as Yohmaru ran past the window, waved. Yohmaru stopped dead in his tracks and Hana could see his eyes widened in terror. "AUUUGH!" he shrieked and ran away. Confused, Elisa hunched her shoulders and watched little Yohmaru run as fast as he could past the pool and into the house through the back door. Hana couldn't help but snort.
Upon hearing Hana's supressed laugher, Faust turned around and smiled. "Ah, Hana. Spying, are you?" Hana grinned sheepishly and stepped into the room. "Only for the past couple of minutes." he admitted. Turning to his Aunt Elisa who looked troubled, he said, "Don't worry about Yohmaru. He's scared of great grandpa, too." Thinking for awhile, Hana added, "He has good reason to." and shuddered. His great grandpa was very harsh on his great grand children when it came to training. Elisa shrugged and smiled. "He'll come round, I guess." Hana nodded and smiled in return. "I'm sure."
He suddenly turned around. Keiko was walking up to him, a bored expression on her face. "Hey." Hana greeted his sister. Keiko nodded. "We have to go find Yohmaru." she said. Hana frowned thoughtfully. "He came screaming in just moments ago, didn't he?" Keiko raised her eyes to the ceiling. "That's right, egg-head. Who else could it be?" She grabbed her older brother by the arm and dragged him down the hallway. Hana shrugged and waved to Faust and Elisa apologetically and followed Keiko down the hallway.
Yuna wandered to the living room, looking right and left for Yohmaru. "Yohmaru?" she called softly. She walked into the living room. Her Uncle Hao looked up and greeted her. "Hey sweetheart." he called. Yuna turned a faint pink and waved timidly back. "Good afternoon Uncle Hao... Have by any chance seen Yohmaru?" "I've seen him!" Yohnta piped up. Yuna smiled. "Where did he go?" she asked. Yohnta did an impatient little dance of the floor while looking in deep thought. "I think he went... that way." He pointed to the doorway from which she had entered from. Yuna raised an eyebrow and hid a smile with her hand. "Thank you very much, Yohnta." Yohnta smiled. "You're welcome!" He turned back to the computer game he was playing. Hao chuckled slightly and mouthed, "4th floor laundry basket." Yuna giggled. "Thank you." she whispered and left the room.
"Yohmaru... I know you're there." Yuna called in her quiet voice. She had entered the bathroom and was eyeing the laundry basket curiously. Something, or someone rather, was shuffling inside. She cautiously opened it and a hand shot out of it, as if trying to protect the rest of it's body. "Go awaaayyyy" a muffled voice cried. Yuna restrained herself from rolling her eyes and carefully parted the layers of dirty clothing, finding her little brother huddled inside. "Please come out." Yuna pleaded. Yohmaru lifted his tear stained face. "She's going to come and get me..." he hiccuped. Yuna gently pulled out her wiggling brother and held him. "Who?" she asked, trying to look as sincere as possible. Yohmaru sniffed. "T-the zombie." Tears threatened to fall out of his bright and shining amber eyes. "There is no zombie here." she said firmly. She put her brother down and wiped away a tear that was rolling down his cheek. "I-I'll fight her if I have to..." Yohmaru looked wistfully at the hangers in the bathroom. Yuna sighed and placed a hand on his shaking shoulder. "She's not a zombie. Keiko... she just... said that as a joke." Yohmaru looked up. "Really?" he asked quietly. Yuna nodded. "Hai. Would I lie to you?" Yohmaru let out a shaky breath and shook his head. Yuna smiled. "Now that that's settled, let's go ask Hana to give you a bath."
After a few moments, both Hana and Yohmaru emerged from the bathroom, Yohmaru clean and dry and Hana soaking wet. Hana didn't seem to mind that much and was heading back to the bathroom for his shower when Yohmaru suddenly yelled, "LYRA NEE-CHAN!" Yohmaru put on a gleeful smile and waved furiously. Hana looked out the window as well, and saw a girl with long silver blue hair waving back as she neared the main door. Hana smiled and made his way to the large door and unlocked it as the doorbell rang. He opened the door and looked down into the blue-green eyes looking up into his.
Review and make my day, pretty pleese?
