Disclaimer: I do NOT own Shaman King, or Final fantasy, but I do own my computer! Lol. Hope you enjoy! Reviews are welcomed with open arms. Flamers can get lost! End of disclaimer. I do own the other main character that happens to be me! No one else owns me, but I do own Abbie, AKA: Dark and Light Samurai the FFX game I borrowed off her! . '

Also, a reviewer reminded me that Hao could read minds. That was how he'd become so evil. I guess now in the story, because the power of Shamans cannot reach Spira, so I guess Hao lost his ability for mind reading also. Sorry I didn't mention that earlier…'


Hao's new destiny. Part 4.

Sarah and Hao had been walking all around Luca, trying to take in all the surroundings at once. It had been difficult to do when all these priests came up to you, asking if you were the Sorceress. By the time their exploration was over, they were out of breath and Sarah desperately needed to sit down before she got stopped again. Hao figured out the perfect way. Every time a priest or anyone came any where near them, he'd just say Sarah needed her rest, and the entire path was cleared. One things for sure, Sarah was already the news of the town.

Sarah sighed with relief as they sat down just outside the stadium. They both jumped right back to their feet though when they saw Tidus, Yuna, Lulu, and Kimahri walking towards the stadium, looking like they were about to collapse.

Sarah gasped. "What happened?" She asked frantically.

Lulu rolled her eyes in annoyance as she answered, "The Al Bhed. Tried kidnapping Yuna." She explained. Hao frowned. Like Sarah had said before, they were sneaky all right. But they had to have a reason.

So the whole group headed in doors. Turned out the Besaid Aurochs had been able to pull through against the Al Bhed Psyches (?) Hao soon realised why Sarah had told him not to tell Wakka about Yuna being part Al Bhed. The minute they were mentioned, he scoffed and insulted them as though they were low lives.

Wakka was too weak to continue. Tidus had to take his place.

"We'll be cheering you on Tidus!" Yuna called to him, as Sarah and Hao both cheered and whooped behind him.

"Come on, let's go and find a seat!" Sarah cried. Yuna nodded, and ran after her with Hao, Lulu, and Kimahri.

Hao frowned at the giant sphere filled with water. Water reminded him of his brother Yoh. They were complete opposites of each other, like fire and water.

"Hao, what's wrong?" Sarah asked. Hao was about to say it was nothing, but then he snarled when he saw Seymour come onto the platform near where they were sitting. He looked around the crowds. Hao realised he was looking for someone. He was proven right. Seymour's eyes laid rest upon Yuna's group, mainly on him and Sarah. Hao shuddered and tried to ignore it. But Seymour's eyes seemed to burn into them, as though they were actual rays of burning hot light. It was like he was marking them. Marking them from everyone else.

Sarah noticed this too. She stared back at Seymour, with a glazed over look in her eyes, before turning away.

The match was bloody. However, the Besaid Aurochs pulled through, thanks to Tidus. The Besaid Aurochs was leading 2-1 against the Luca Goers. Sarah could practically see the steam coming from Bickson's ears. She snorted at him. Hao noticed how annoyed he looked and laughed too.

Eventually, Sarah and Hao both jumped onto their benches, shortly joined by Yuna and started chanting, and were shortly joined by most of the stadium.

"I DON'T BELIEVE! THE BESAID AUROCHS ARE IN THE LEAD!" An annoying announcer was yelling in the background. Hao was starting to grow short tempered with him. He was all set to see if he could aim a lightning spell at him until…

"FIENDS!" Someone screamed. Hao jumped out of his skin. Sarah quickly unleashed her sword. Hao pulled out her spear. Yuna pulled out her staff. Hao spotted that in the sphere pool, Tidus and Wakka were both trying to fight off a bunch of annoying water fiends.

Hao started heading towards where the main fiends were, his staff in an upright position, ready for battle. He spotted a strange dragon like lizard, a bit like the one that had been entwined around Sarah's necklace except larger, glaring at a man in red, who was just smirking at the fiends. He swiftly stepped forward ready for battle. He hit the fiend once and it was out dead.

"Woh…" Hao mumbled at the strength of the man, then he ran forward.

The man in red smiled coolly when he spotted Hao. "You must be that Shaman right?" He asked.

Hao nodded. Suddenly, as a wild guess, he asked, "Are you that Auron guy that Yuna and Tidus were talking about before?"

The man in red nodded. "Indeed I am Auron." He answered.

"What the… Auron! What are you doing here?" Tidus yelled, running up to them. Wakka gasped and cried, "Sir Auron!"

Auron didn't show any sign of replying to either of these comments. Instead, he turned to face the next fiend, a strange bird that reminded Hao of a flying dinosaur he'd heard about…

Meanwhile…

"Yuna, you don't have a strong strength in physical attacks!" Sarah warned Yuna. "You better heal the ones that are injured, I'll hold the rest off!"

Yuna nodded, and ran towards a group of injured people and started casting various healing spells on them, whilst Sarah struggled to hold back a bunch of oncoming fiends. She was fairly surprised when they suddenly howled in pain before exploding literally into Pyreflies.

"What the…" She mumbled, but then she saw the reason.

"WOH!" She yelled, as she looked up at a giant aeon, that seemed to belong to one of the Maesters, seeing that it had been summoned from around there. It was shooting a painful white beam at the fiends. They disappeared into Pyreflies one by one. Eventually, all the fiends were gone. Everyone was staring up at the aeon in awe. They were even more shocked when they saw who summoned it…

"I didn't know Maester Seymour was a Summoner…" Yuna whispered. Sarah nodded. "Me neither." She replied in a whisper.

Sarah stared at the aeon. She swore of a moment that it was crying blood from its single eye. Then she spotted Seymour, who was smiling smugly at the crowd, before opening his arms as though about to hug someone.

Seymour scanned the crowd and spotted Sarah. Their eyes locked for a moment. Sarah quickly pulled away. It was difficult to keep contact with his eyes. They seemed too deep.

Seymour just smiled upon her before lowering his arms again, and dismissing his aeon. Sarah could have sworn she heard the aeons voice hiss, "I'm anima…"

Sarah smiled as the aeon disappeared. "So long anima…" She whispered…

Later…

Sarah had hung back at the stadium, determined to ask Seymour about the aeon he had summoned. She didn't have to look for him. Instead, he was looking for her.

"Ah, we meet again so soon." He said as he walked up from behind her. Sarah turned to face him.

"What was that aeon you summoned?" She asked. "I swore it spoke to me. It told me its name was anima."

Seymour looked stunned. Then he nodded.

"Yes, that is my aeons name." He answered.

Sarah nodded. Then she turned to leave, to find out where the others had gone.

"Wait!" Seymour called. Sarah froze at his call and turned to face him again.

"If I told that anima, before she became an aeon, was my mother, would you be ashamed?" He asked her. Sarah stepped back away from him.

"Anima is your mother?" She repeated. "She… had great strength. Are you proud is more important then anyone else's opinion." She eventually answered.

Seymour frowned as though thinking hard before answering, "I guess."

Sarah smiled. "Then I see no harm in your mother being an aeon." Then she left. Seymour didn't call for her to come back this time. He let her continue to walk on…

And soon…

"Sarah! There you are!" Wakka yelled over the balcony. Sarah smiled up at him and the others as they leaned over to see her.

"I'm fine. I was just curious about that aeon Maester Seymour summoned." She explained.

"It was so powerful…" Yuna whispered. Sarah nodded in agreement.

Hao meanwhile, listened to the two of them. Hao didn't know why, but he felt that this Seymour was rather taken by Sarah. Was it just because she was a powerful person in general? Or did he actually care about her, like he and the others did? Or was it both?

"Come on… we must go." Yuna's latest guardian, Sir Auron said firmly.

"First…" Yuna stated. "I want to also make Hao and Sarah my Guardians also."

Sarah smiled. "I'd be honoured…" She replied, smiling as she bowed.

Hao wasn't sure what to say. Instead he just nodded and bowed also. He hoped being a guardian would do him some good…


To be continued…Once again… NO FLAMERS! I'm not very fond of them. Constructive critisism(?) is okay. Just don't be too harsh.
