Chapter 3: A present for a shaman...

The ascetic shaman walked to an open field, where he sat down. He knew Redseb and Seyrarm would arrive in some minutes, to plan their strategy during the Shaman Fight. He couldn't stop thinking on his older son, although he knew it wasn't right. The next thing Mikihisa was wondering was how the boy managed to take care of himself all of those years and how did he found all that comrades.

"He sure is smart..." he finally whispered, then he heard footsteps, but they weren't little kids' steps, so he hid behind a nearby tree and saw three girls walking slowly, one was a redhead with purple eyes and a playful smile on her face, the other one was a blonde with a bitter expression, hugging her puppet and the other one with sky blue hair and a cigarette sticking from her mouth. He recognized them immediately as the Hanagumi.

"So what are we going to give Hao-sama? Tomorrow is his birthday!" asked Macchi a bit anxiously. "I could bake him a cake!"

"Don't be stupid, Hao-sama wouldn't eat it, besides he deserves much more than a simple bread with lots of sugar on it..." said Mary while stroking her puppet's hair gently.

"Hmm I could give him some real adult fun" replied the older girl with a mischievous expression "Things you kids don't understand hehehe"

Mikihisa felt alarmed and kind of angry when an image of Hao and Kana kissing popped up in his mind...but why was he angry? Hao was just his son after all, so being his son...he needed to take care of him, didn't he? Maybe he should choose a good fiancée for him too...But he didn't feel comfortable thinking of the boy with any girl at all...no matter how beautiful, smart or powerful...he wanted Hao...free...or should he say, for himself?

"Mary will not allow Kanna to pervert her Hao-sama! Mary will give him something he likes...like stars..."

"You can't give him a star, silly"

"No, but Mary can use her furyoku to write a message with stars, at least for tomorrow..."

"Do you have any idea how many furyoku you need for that! Like hundreds of thousands!"

"We can ask Lakist and Blocken for help, they're quite strong..."

"That's an excellent idea, Macchi! Then let us return to the camp" and said this they returned the way they had come from.

Mikihisa just stared at them. "Yes...I almost forgot Yoh's birthday is tomorrow too...I should give him a new technique...and for Hao...I shouldn't give him that...It'll just make him more powerful...but I just want to give it to him...since Keiko liked it so much"

"Hey Mikki!" screamed a boy from far away "Sorry we are kind of late"

"Hello Redseb, how's Seyrarm?"

"She is ok, I think, aren't you?" asked Redseb, but the girl just stared at him and said "Tomorrow we fight against the Red team..."

"I heard they are kind of strong...and I heard their leader, Jack is really powerful and a psycho too..."

"Don't worry Redseb, there are plenty of psychos in the shaman fight, it's kind of ordinary" said Mikihisa remembering team The Ren and Hoshigumi (Hao's team).

"They are at the fountain right now, it would be wise if we see what kind of opponents they are" continued the girl, with a bored look on her face.

"Ok then, let's check them out" then, Mikihisa and the children walked where the fountain was, but he was surprised to see Hao sitting there, with a small knife and a piece of dried wood, carving something.

"You little punk! Here you are! How come you didn't eat anything and then make me pay for it!"

Hao turned to see him and raised an eyebrow questioningly. "...I don't know what are you talking about..."

"Argh! Making fun of me again!"

"I'm not making fun of you...you are funny yourself, that's all"

"Well, look who's here, you came after all" said a voice suddenly. Mikihisa turned to his left and saw a young boy, like 16 or 17 years, with black hair and two red strands of hair framing his face. He had green eyes and a really pale skin, he was all dressed in black, with red belts fastened around his chest and neck. The typical goth hot guy, as Mikki would say.

The boy headed towards Hao with a smirk on his face. "Hello babe"

Hao raised his eyebrow again, he then left what he was carving aside and paid full attention to the figure in front of him "Why did you want to see me?"

"I wanted you to join my crew...although I know the answer..."

"Then why do you bother in asking? You are wasting my time, you know..."

"Isn't time eternal for you, sweetie?" responded the boy, inspecting the brunette's eyes.

"What do you want?" said Hao, now with a serious tone

"My name is Jack, and I'll become Shaman King..."

"Some nerve for you to tell me this...you don't seem to know who you're dealing with...Is your desire to die that high?" answered Hao, with an evil smile.

"I know you are far stronger than anybody else in here, I recognize it, but my first goal when I become Shaman King will be to make you mine. I'd fallen in love with you a long time ago...and I will not allow anybody else to have you"

Hao was startled at this, he wasn't expecting such answer, that Jack sure was weird.

"Argh! Pervert! Get away from my son!" said Mikihisa standing in front of Hao.

"Tomorrow's fight...If I win, you will give me your blessing, father" said this, the black haired boy walked away, laughing silently in his way.

"Why did you do that?" asked Hao, standing up from the edge of the fountain.

"Well he was all right stalking you, and he seemed a bondage type of pervert!"

"I can take care of myself"

"Yes, but can you take care of the innocence you have and that pervert lacks?"

"Innocence? What are you saying? I've lived longer than that boy, I know more things..."

Mikihisa approached the boy and grabbed his chin gently as he lifted his son's face slightly, so they could be face to face...or should I say, face to mask?

"You reincarnated, you are living again, you just have those memories useful to you...don't forget you are still 14 years old..."

Hao just stared; he was able to read the man's mind and knew he did care, something that surprised him, a strange warm feeling, he wasn't sure how to react...Mikihisa wasn't sure what to do next either, since the boy's expression was so freaking cute, he could remain there for the rest of his life.

The chocolate long haired boy closed his eyes and smiled softly. "Really, are you always this overprotective with Yoh? If I thought you were weird before, now I think you're weirder, Mr. tree-climber-chicken-man"

"You want tickles again, don't you?"

"No..." Hao stepped backwards, for him, tickles were the worst form of torture, because he felt vulnerable and even if he was ok, he couldn't do anything, it was worse than being in a torture machine...like that holy iron something girl.

"Even if you lose that fight tomorrow...I will not marry that guy, it's not like I'm your real son... but...Thanks" the shaman disappeared in flames while Mikihisa stared in awe.

"He said Thanks..." a slight blush appeared on his cheeks, invisible due to the mask.

"...WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!" screamed Redseb, still confused about everything, while his sister just sighed.

"Eww that Jack guy is queeeeeeeer..." said Redseb "huh? That boy left the thing...is it a flute?"

"It seems so" Mikihisa grabbed the flute, the carvings were really amazing and well done, Hao appeared to be not only the greatest shaman, but a talented artist also.

"Our fight is in the evening, isn't it?"

"Yes Mikki"

"Damn! All right, I'll give him that...after all I haven't given him anything in 14 years"

"...eh?"
