(A/N): Hi again. I was sitting at home and thought 'I wanna write something!' Anyways, I thought of writing something of Shaman King. SO I decided to write something about Yoh and Hao. This is Yoh pondering about Hao after he defeated him. Anyways, I'd also like to say Shaman King is awesome! I love Yoh and Hao! XD I actually know a pair of fraternal twins. That means they were born at the same time, but aren't identical (for you people who don't already know, which you should). I don't know why I like Hao. I feel sorry for him I guess is part of it, but also he's really cool! XD Anyways, here I go. But first, a word from our sponsors!

(Disclaimer): Hello. This is TigerLuvr's brain. She does not own Shaman King in any way except for the box set of Shaman King. But she doesn't own any of the characters no matter how much she wishes she could. Thank you. And now back to your previously scheduled program!

(P.S. This is set 2 years later)

-Stars-

Yoh lay down in the grass at his favorite spot at the graveyard near Anna's and his inn. He stared at the stars, thinking about things that had happened during and before the Shaman Fight.

--Yoh's POV--

It's funny. I noticed how Hao always seemed fond of the stars, but never really thought much of it. But now, lying here I realize that the stars are something we have in common. It's too late too ask him now though. I wonder if his spirit is finally at peace, wherever it is. I wonder if I could get Anna to get his spirit back so I can ask him... No way! She'd probably just call me a moron and make me train. Even though I'm Shaman King, she still scares me...

Back then I was so caught up in hating him, I never really thought too much on what would have made him like that. I almost forgot my saying 'Only people with good hearts can see ghosts.'(A/N: It's something like that. I don't have an exact quote.) It must have been hard for him to hate all humans so much. I still remember when my soul was in him. He was all dark inside, but then I saw his past from 1000 years ago. I admit I did have some doubt, but he was hurting my friends so of course I would have to stop him, but I still did have some seeds of doubt... I suppose having Manta as a friend did help. He accepted me even though he was a normal human, though he turned out to have some shaman potential. And also, he stuck by me always.

He's a truly good friend... I guess knowing that acceptance is probably what kept me going. Funny, I guess Manta inadvertantly saved my life. But Hao was still my twin brother... it's kind of sad. I grew up having no friends really besides some spirits for companions. Having a brother might have changed things... There are many what ifs, but the past is the past. You can wonder your whole life or keep on going. That doesn't stop me from wondering when I'm alone like this though. The stars... I wonder if Hao can see them also?

--End Yoh's POV--

And somewhere, a spirit watching the stars smirked.

)A/N( Eek! I like this! I don't write very much, but I kinda like how this turned out. This is short though. It's a drabble, but still not that short. Anyways, I purposely avoided Anna because I don't like to get into these couples fights until I know where I stand. And I'm not sure... I know that Anna is totally in love with Yoh, but I'm not sure on his stand. I really don't like the engagement though. I believe they're too young to be engaged and shouldn't be forced into these things. Anyways, send your love to an authoress who needs it!

Review!
