Foxyvulpixie: Okay sorry for the wait people. If you guys are lucky I might update again today. I DO NOT OWN SHAMAN KING (you should know what goes after my shaman king disclaimer by now)

Hao's POV

As I awoke from my resting place (which happened to be on the bench outside) I looked down to see Arisha sleeping calmly with her head on my shoulder. I smiled at her and removed a few strands of loose hair out of her face.

She had gotten so beautiful, hang on, wait a minute, what am I thinking? She's just an old friend of mine, but she was the only one who, no, I can't be falling for her! But I can't think that she is ugly and horrible, now that would be a lie. I can't forget about her either or give her the cold shoulder she means so much to me. No, I can never even try to forget about her so what will I do? I'll just be her friend yeah. Anyways why should want me, the guy that killed her parents? ...……Actually, she was my friend anyway, and besides who wouldn't want the great Hao Asakura? Yeah, but- My thoughts were silenced as a soft groan brought me back to reality.

Arisha slowly opened her eyes and when she realized where she slept she immediately blushed and got up and said "I am sooooo sorry Hao-sama."

I chuckled at her embarrassment.

"How did we get here anyway?" asked Arisha.

"From what I remember was that Cirus came back from her vacation and when everyone met you they loved you. We had a bit of a celebration that you and Cirus got back and we both seemed to get bored so you suggested that we look at the stars like we used to when we were little and we talked a bit and then you fell asleep and you looked so cute there so I decided to leave you alone and sooner or later I fell asleep too." I answered her.

She blushed a beet red and then half yelled half said to me "I am not cute!"

"What are you talking about you looked like a little angel." I said to her teasingly as I went inside the inn.

She stood out there for a couple of minutes till she came inside.

I was already at the table when she sat down.

End Hao's POV

Arisha's POV

Cute? Cute? Puhlease I am sooooo not cute. Why on earth did he say that? He can't be feeling what I am for him, could he? Naw, he wouldn't want a whiny little girl like me.

I sat at the table and everything went fine till Horo woke up.

He devoured everything off his plate and asked if I wanted to finish my food each time he did Hao bonked him on the head (I'm surprised that the spikes didn't hurt) and said "Let the girl eat, you pig."

I was happy that he still stood up for me when I needed it but when Horo asked for my food for about the 13th time I just let him have it.

I needed to make a phone call anyway.

End Arisha's POV

Sorry for the shortness but like I said I might add another chapter today. I wonder who Arisha is going to call...
