Author's note: This is my first shaman king fic and as the summary says. It's is about my envisioned version of Hao's childhood 1000 year's ago. It would look into the things that caused him to be what he is 1000 years later, hating humans and all.

I will devote the first few chapters to his parents. I mean, without parents, you won't have the child. Be patient and I will mention Hao soon.

Chapter 1: The forbidden marriage (according to shamans)

"My daughter, have you gone mad! The Asakuras have never associated themselves with any humans. You should understand by now that humans are a threat, especially to a family of shamans such as ourselves. And you are telling me that you wish to marry one!"

"Yes. I'm really sorry that I didn't tell you about our relationship before, but I truly love him and I am sure that he would not be a threat in any way."

"Have you told him about our family, being shamans?"

"… No."

"Then I advise you not to do so. Normal humans always fear things that they do not understand. Do you wish for him to leave you when you finally tell him the truth? Or when he finds out for himself?"

"Please stop it, both of you. Komi, I know you want the best for your daughter. But she is old enough to decide her own future. Can this man support you well, Kyomi?"

"Yes, he can. He has a good position in the palace and serves the throne." Kyomi replied, facing her father now.

"Then go pursue your own happiness. Even though we cannot help you much in the future. If you are in any danger, please approach us. We are your parents after all. Do not let your strong pride get in the way."

"I understand, father. Thank you for taking care of me all this time." Kyomi said before going off to tell her lover the good news.

"Well, Komi. I guess we better get the dowry ready."

"Husband, why do you keep spoiling our daughter so much? If this goes on, she will be in danger! She is our only child and daughter."

"It is because she is our only child that I 'spoil' her. Do you want her to grow up hating you? Or even worse, run away and elope instead? Then we will never know what happens to her."

At his words, Komi fell silent. She quickly went into her room and started praying. For her daughter's happiness and safety.

The marriage came and went. It took place in the house of Kyomi's husband, Seichi. Kyomi's parents attended the wedding, but no one else from the Asakuras did, simply because they did not want anything to do with normal humans.

"Well, I'm glad that was over and done with, Kyomi. I never expected a wedding to be so tiring." Sechi said.

"It doesn't matter, Sechii. What matters now is that we are husband and wife." Kyomi replied. Then she was deep in thought, thinking about when she would tell him the truth.

"Is there something wrong, Kyomi?" Sechi asked, concerned with her sudden silence.

"Nothing. It's nothing. My mother was actually quite opposed to my choice of husband. I'm just surprised she came."

'Maybe, I would only tell him after I have a child. Maybe at that time, he would not leave me when he hears the truth.' she thought.

"Don't worry about that. Didn't you say what matters is that we are married now. Nothing can stop us from loving each other. Now stop worrying and let us go to sleep. We would have a lot of matters to settle tomorrow."

Kyomi nodded and smiled her first real smile in the day. She would worry about the truth when the time comes. In the meantime, she should just enjoy what she had worked hard to have.

"Yes, let's go to sleep then."

Pika318: Ok this is what I have for the first chapter. I know it's short. But if I wrote too long, it's going to become monotonous and naggy. I am also going to run out of juice, resulting in writer's block. This is my first shaman king fic and the second fic I am writing. I welcome all kinds of criticism, but let it be as constructive as possible. Without them, how would a person improve?

In short, please review.
