Thank you SOOOOOOOOOO much for your reviews! Since I'm satisfied with my reviews, here's my next chapter! It's mainly about Hao. Anyways, thanks for the correction on the spelling of the word Itako! LONG LIVE HAOxANNA!

Disclaimer: I would be working on a new series of Shaman King if I owned it. Nut I'm writing a fanfic, so I don't! DUHH!

Chapter 2: Hao's Past

Anna followed Keiko to one of the doors in a different hallway. (A/N: This house is B-I-G! if you want to know the exact location of her room, it's down the main left corridor, second secondary hallway, fifth door to the right.)

"This is your room, make yourself at home! Uh, What are you doing, Anna?" the girl was putting a blanket on the floor.

"I'm going to sleep, Keiko. I'm an Itako. I've been trained to not take things for granted, even the simplest things. That's why I'm sleeping on the floor. I'm sorry if you spent a lot of time making my bed." While she was talking, Anna didn't even look up.

"Oh, that's quite alright with me. Whatever makes you happy! Anyways, I guess you'll meet my other son, Hao, tomorrow, if he comes home." Keiko sighed again.

"Why do you let him stay up so late, Keiko? Why don't you go strict on him?" Anna sat up from her newly made bed.

"Well, we've tried many times, but he ends up running away every time. It's useless. He rarely comes home, but if he does, he would have lipstick on his face, he would be so drunk, he can't even stand up, and he would have girl's perfume on him." The lady looked like she was about to cry.

"Tell me more, Keiko." Anna said, a bit curious

"He used to be so different when he was little. Caring, Smart, everything you could ask for in a boy. He had a dog named Rebel. They were the best friends. They played together, slept together, and Hao even begged the teachers to let Rebel come to school with him. Then, things got bad when Rebel got hit by a truck. Hao stayed in his room for a week or two. I made the mistake of telling him to find something else he could do, something that he liked besides Rebel. I regretted it, even now. We all knew that he loved Rebel first. We also knew that he loved girls after Rebel. So he started dating, and we thought that he had moved on. We were really happy for him, and even encouraged him. He then started missing dinner, and started to not come home more often. It all led to this: Drinking and Women. I just don't know what to do, Anna! He won't listen to me, his father, or even his beloved brother, thought I think that Hao is too busy love Yoh."

"Well, I'll see what I can do about him, too. But remember that I'm mainly here to train Yoh, and nothing more."

Keiko's eyes watered, "Oh, thank you, Anna, thank you!"

She left Anna with a good-bye sob.

"Hao is so going to regret not listening his parents."

She drifted into slumber.

That night, she woke up to a racket outside in the hallway.

"No, you can't! She's sleeping, honey!" It was clearly Keiko's voice.

"I don't give a fuck, now get out of my way!" A boy's voice boomed groggily.

"No, you will no disturb our guest, No!" He seemed to have pushed past Keiko, and opened the door.

Anna pretended to be asleep, her back facing the door.

"Aw, I can't see a thing!" Hao went to turn on the lights when his mother stopped him.

"No, Hao! You can see plenty of her tomorrow, when Yoh starts his training! Now go get some sleep, please? You look tired." Keiko begged.

"Fine. I'd better see her tomorrow or else."

The door slammed closed as the yelling stopped.

'Man, what an agitator.' Anna thought as she went back to sleep.

(A/N: It's not as interesting as chapter one. I'll try to make chapter 3 more interesting. Please Read and review! Won't post the next chapter unless I have enough reviews!)
