Serenity: Konnichi wa, Minna-san. I'M ALIVE! Ahem, yes, I hope you all didn't miss me during my brief period of absence. I want to thank my beloved reviewers, YOU ARE SO VERY KIND TO ME! I received such a wonderful review from someone, and you know who you are, that I will this chapter nice, and hopefully, long. I was disappointed when one my favorite reviewers didn't review, so I thought she hated me.

Ok, this chapter goes into deeply into the plot and tells somewhat of what Hao's true intentions are. I finally found plot, but couldn't get my lazy up to write it.

By the way, the poem in this chapter is by myself, and IS actually copy-righted by law, so if you decide to still it, I can sue you! It's entitled "Weiss Engel's Zimmer," and if anyone can tell me the meaning I directed it to, you win a oneshot with the anime of your choice! I apologize for not being able to put the sharp "S" in because my computer sucks.

ON WITH THE STORY!

"Start getting ready, Yoh." Hao called out.

"Ready for what, Ni'san?" Yoh peeked his head out of his room.

"We have to go out to Amami."

"Why?" Yoh walked out of his room, ready to go.

"We need to go talk to a girl there."

Yoh and Hao jumped onto the extended hand of the Spirit of Fire and disappeared.

An Estate in Amami

A young women, roughly Hao and Yoh's age, sat at a piano in a garden in Amami, playing (the piano) and singing at the same time.

"Oh, can you hear me

(Open the cage)

I spread my wings slowly

(Release me with passion)

Turn and open your eyes

(Watch me fly away)

Don't shed tears of bitter regret

(Search for freedom as I have)

Come and meet me soon

(I'll be waiting in paradise)

Singing gently, I smile softly

(You look towards the ringing)

I implore you come to me when it is time

(Endure until we reunite)

Live for me, I have left you everything

(Find happiness without my help)

Beloved, don't fear tomorrow

(We'll be together one day, I promise)

You helped me, now I'll help you

(I love you, Beloved)

The girl slowly closed her eyes, seeming to draw in on herself, sighing as softly as the wind blows on a calm day. Slowly, she rose her hands to begin playing again.

Suddenly, a burst of heat hit her back, and she swiftly turned on the piano bench. A wellspring of fire and flames produced itself from oblivion, and two identical boys stepped out of the furnace.

"Ohayo gozaimasu." Hao greeted solemnly to the girl, who eyeing both him and his brother.

"Ohayo!" Yoh cheerfully called out.

"Ohayo...gozaimasu. May I ask what you are doing, teleporting yourselves into my garden in such a...manner?" She asked, leaning back slightly, still eyeing them with apprehension.

"Gomen nasai, Toku Akihoshi-san. I am Hao Asakura, and this is my brother, Yoh. Please excuse our rude interruption, but I needed to speak with you." Hao bowed deeply in apology to Akihoshi.

"Hao...and Yoh...I have heard of you, yes. The twin shaman of the Asakura clan, a split soul. What business could you possibly have with me?" Akihoshi crossed her legs and arms.

"We seek the Spirit of the Wind." Yoh turned towards his brother, not understanding his words.

He turned towards Akihoshi, who wasn't entirely unattractive. Silver hair and silver eyes with pale white skin.

But her eyes had gone colder than the air around them, and was a little chilly.

"You seek...to resurrect the old ways...why?" She asked, rising and taking a step forward.

"You should know well enough why. The second revolution will begin. I have the Spirit of Fire, and my brother, Yoh, possess the Spirit of the Water. All we need the Spirits of Wind and Earth."

Akihoshi simply laughed.

"Gomen nasai, but I can do nothing for you. I do not have the Spirit of Wind. You will have to search elsewhere." She turned towards her home.

"Do not lie to me, Akikaze. I know who you are, and you know who I am. Do not fake your way out of this." Hao murmured, a tinge of threat coating his voice.

Akihoshi flinched, and then turned to face him slowly.

"You...you truly are him...you truly are the Hokaze..."

And CLIFFHANGER!

So, I'd like to clear some things up now.

1) Obviously it's staring to get more serious, and there some things you might not understand, but that's understandable (pun not intended). Things will be smoothed out next chapter. I fo you are still confused, please contact me and I will explain.

2) I really like pianos, silver hair and eyes. Why not use them on a character, eh?

3) I intentionally used names in here for a reason. Toku Akihoshi means: Virtuous Autumn Star. When Hao says to her: "Do not lie to me, Akikaze," he is making an acronym upon her name, calling her "Autumn Wind" and thus insinuates that he knows that she has the Spirit of Wind and is lying to him. She turns around and throws it back in his face by saying "...You are truly the Hokaze," making an acronym upon HIS name and calling him the "Fire Wind".

4) If anyone can guess why I did this, they get a cyber chocolate cake.

Ja Ne.
