Chapter 12: I'll give my heart for you
"Why did he lie to me! I really love him! Why did he do that? So those memories I slowly start to recall are just product of his manipulation! Am I just a puppet for him? What was he thinking?" the emerald eyed shaman couldn't believe that his beloved had done such a dirty move on him, he felt betrayed and lost, angry and confused. Hot tears flowed from his green eyes, and the throbbing pain in his chest was just getting stronger and stronger.
Lyserg ran into the forest, he wouldn't mind if he was eaten by wild animals, or murdered by other shamans, at this rate, he wanted this wicked reality to disappear.
"Hold on!" said someone, stopping the shaman, it was the little lava imp Kamakui. "Are you ok? What happened?"
"It's Hao! He...he used me! He was making fun of me, betrayed all my feelings for him, send them to hell!" He then started crying louder and hugged Kamakui. The imp placed a paw on Lyserg's shoulder, trying to comfort him.
"Come with me, calm down and tell me your story, I'm wise and I can help you out"
Lyserg just nodded, he did need comfort, and followed Kamakui to an open flower valley (the one were Morphin was taking energy from) and both sat down. Lyserg calmed down a bit, the air was fresh and the scenery was pleasant, but his heart was broken, and the tears refused to cease.
"Everything was perfect until Marco came and returned me my diary...that's when I noticed Hao changed my past! I can't believe he'd do such thing!"
"Hmm do you have that diary with you?" asked the imp thoughtfully
Lyserg handed him the notebook, then Kamakui started reading the first pages and placed his hand under his chin.
"I see now...why are you so mad? That shaman is just increasing his powers and since he is in love with you, he was able to travel back in time just to meet you, but he isn't capable of controlling that power, just like Tornenora told me..."
"What do you mean by that?" asked the British, still confused.
"He had not the intention to change your past, my boy, it was sort of an accident, but he gave you many pleasant and new memories! I think you should be thanking that boy! You didn't have many friends back then, I can see, but he was a great companion, why don't you see it that way?"
"But..."
"If he really intended to manipulate you, he would have lured you into his crew since you were little, that way he'd have you by his side always"
"...Maybe you are right...but why didn't he tell me before! And why did he have my diary?"
"He was too happy with you, I believe he forgot, you should ask him, he also has lead a difficult life...don't let him alone again..."
Lyserg lowered his head. He didn't want it to end like that, and also probably Hao wasn't using him, Kamakui was right, he needed to return to apologize and ask some questions.
"I can't abandon him! I'll return and...!" suddenly, the shaman fell on his knees and embraced himself. He started getting cold and sweating, something wasn't right at all.
"Hey kid! Are you all right!"
"No. I feel like...I'm being thorn apart...I can't breathe, help me! I'm so scared..."
"Hold on, I'll bring Hao! He'll know what to do" Kamakui disappeared in a red flash and Lyserg was left on the grass.
"Hao..." he whispered "...save...me"

"Hao..." whispered Yoh, kneeling down next to his twin and placing his hand on his shoulder. "You should go after him..."
"But I...he must hate me...I'm such a fool...I thought I knew everything, I thought everything was within my reach and now! I'm like this, almost crying for someone I hurt and doesn't have any matters with my goal to be shaman king..."
"But it's the one you love! That's more important than being shaman king!"
"I will not be feeble...I will not lose this time, are you trying to make me quit my goal? Don't make me laugh!"
Yoh looked disappointed, he then got closer to his aniki and hugged him, Hao was surprised by this, but he didn't push him away.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that, Lyserg is confused, he needs you, and you are the only one that can give him the happiness you took away from him, don't abandon him again, Hao"
Hao hugged Yoh, and after a short while he stood up.
"Thanks, Yoh...I'll get him back and explain everything to him!"
"Hao-sama!" exclaimed opacho entering the house hurriedly.
"Little opacho! So you are all right! I'm so glad!"
"There's no time, Hao-sama! Lyserg is in great danger!"
"What do you mean?" said Hao with a concerned look
"I'm sorry, I read the diary, it seems the boy in the past is depressed and he is going to take his own life!"
"This has to be a lie! Where's the diary! I need the diary!"
"Lyserg has it..." said Yoh "where could he be?"
"I need to find him as soon as possible!"
"Asakura Hao! You need to come with me!" said Kamakui appearing in front of everyone "Lyserg isn't all right!"
"Take me with you!" Then shaman and imp disappeared in flames.
"I hope they arrive on time" said Yoh, then he looked at Lakis and opacho, after smiling to them he said his phrase. "Everything will go ok"
"I hope so..." said opacho being a bit comforted by Hao's twin smile.

Marco finally found Lyserg in a flower valley, panting and very palid.
"Lyserg! Hang on there, baby!" he hugged Lyserg, he was freezing and his eyes looked lost.
"Marco...I'm leaving..."
"Don't say that! I'll take you to a hospital!"
"In vain it is...I'm leaving...I can't see you anymore..."
"Lyserg!"
"But I hear your voice...Marco...thank you and...I'm sorry"
"No! Lyserg!"
"I'll save you..." said Hao, approaching to them and kneeling next to Lyserg.
"You bastard!" said Marco, taking out his weapon and aiming it at the brunette.
"Hao? Is that you?" whispered Lyserg "I'm so sorry, Hao...I really loved y..."
Hao put his index finger on Lyserg's lips. "Shh, don't say anymore, I've come to save you"
"Nonsense! You just want to use him again!"
"Actually, the only one that can save Lyserg is Hao" said Kamakui with his arms crossed. "If Lyserg dies back in his past, the present Lyserg will just vanish. Hao's time traveling powers are this boy's only hope to live"
"Is that so! Then hurry up and save him, you little...punk! That's the least a murderer like you can do!"
Hao glared at the blonde X-law and grabbed the diary, he stared at it, thinking on Lyserg, wanting to save him, but it was in vain. He focused on the little Lyserg, crying in fear and loneliness, his heart throbbed, what he most desired in that moment was to save his beloved...but it was also useless.
"Don't just stand there! Are you retarded! Do something!" commanded Marco desperately.
"I can't! It's not working! Why!" screamed the brunette, he was growing pale, he was really scared and desperate as Marco, his hands started trembling, then Kamakui held his hands in order to calm him down
"Asakura Hao, please calm down, you can do it, you already manipulate your life through the pass of times, time travel to the past is much more difficult, so you need to focus highly, don't let your fears absorb you!"
Hao swallowed and nodded, he hadn't been this scared since...he was a child and an onmyoji, when he could hear all the negative thoughts of the humans, and all that regret and pain grew in his heart, he despised everyone, but now he wanted to save a mere life, a life that was worth everything for him at that moment.
"Please, I need to go to the past, spirits of time!" he summoned some weird looking spirits, they were black and white, their face was a grey circle with a shiny spot in the center. In their right hand they held a silver crystal, and in their other hand a crystal that changed of color constantly, on their heads a brown crown with a green crystal in its middle. They were about the size of Hao and Lyserg.
"Amazing...you were able to summon such powerful spirits..." whispered Kamakui "you really earned the title the Esoteric King"
The spirits spoke a strange language, it was piercing and painful to hear, Hao shoved the pain and used his furyoku to understand this beings.
"We will aid you in your trip, but you'll pay...until you have proven yourself, the payment is really high, since you are paying, you will be able to stay in the past all the time you want, however, until you understand this power perfectly, you'll be able to go to the era you wish to go"
"Are you willing to pay?" added the other spirit
Hao closed his eyes and nodded, done this, one of the five spirits approached him and touched his chest gently, Hao felt how life was escaping from his being, then he saw the sacred being holding a red spiritual organ, dripping blood: It was his heart in an ethereal form.
"How can you take his heart away! How is he supposed to save that boy like this!" exclaimed Kamakui
"He still has his memories"
"This heart...is full of...sadness...so black...and yet so pure..."
"This pleases us all, we should take it as a sacrifice and save the boy for him, though he'll never get it back, what do you say, shaman?"
"No Hao, don't give them your heart!" pleaded the lava imp to the brunette, who just stood there without his vivid eyes, without that spark he always wore in his gaze, like an empty shell with a distracted look.
"...I will get it back..." whispered Hao
"He sure is strong enough to be able to understand" said another spirit
"Let's give him a chance" added another
"You have one day, if you don't return with complete manipulation of this power and this boy's life, you will not get this jewel back, it will belong to us forever, and your body will become our offering.
Hao nodded as he reached his hands out and positioned his index and pulgars in a triangle form.
As silver is the past
As gold our present
Shine withered with pain
Making it a brown reality
That we still hold dear
Unknown our future
That we wait anxiously
Yet unconsciously
Lost back in time
Yet alive in our mind
Platinum whisper
Take my soul away
Back in time
Hao's figure vanished in a gust of silver breeze, starting a trip in time, to save a beloved one.
