Serenity: My goodness, I haven't updated anything...for a month...oh my goodness...forgive me minna-san...everything going...on...please forgive me...

"Hao-san...may I ask? Where are we going?" Asked Akihoshi as she flew them to Utsunomiya, her Spirit of Wind close behind them.

Hao just smiled.

"Perhaps..it is where we will find the Spirit of Earth?" Akihoshi looked worried, as it appeared it would rain soon.

Hao smiled again, recalling earlier events.

Flashback

"Y-You are truly HIM? But how can this be? And who is this boy?" Akihoshi stumbled back, her eyes widening in fear, or perhaps, astonishment.

"I am. This, as I have said before, is my brother, Yoh, who, contains the Spirit of Water. This birth...was a mishap, but not unfortunate. We are even more powerful with this turn of events, Toku-san...don't you think so?"

Akihoshi looked down. She hadn't thought this would happen...not in this modern world...or even after the Shaman Tournament... how could this be happening? Had he had a sudden change of character? Again, after so long?

No, this was no different from the last time...they would be destroyed again...

And she would take no part in it.

"You will not reach that dream, Hao-san...we could not accomplish it the last time...what makes this time around any different? I plan on living out my life this time...I do not plan on dying so soon...for something so trivial...you will be beaten, and I will not mourn for you." Akihoshi turned to walk away before Hao interrupted her.

"I could let you see Yamasuzu again."

Akihoshi stopped and turned slowly around.

"You...you KNOW where...you know where he IS!" Akihoshi seemed to become happier and flustered at once.

'Oh, to see him again...it would be a dream!' Akihoshi thought, everything in the world starting to appear better in the world to her.

"Yes, if you come with me. We are all in this together, aren't we?" Hao smiled as Akihoshi nodded .

"Now, to Utsunomiya..."

End Flashback

Hao's thoughts returned to the present as he spotted where he wanted to land.

"Toku-san! There! Where that band is playing!" Akihoshi nodded as she landed her giant feather in front of the youth who was packing up a guitar.

"And, just who the hell would you be?" The boy stood up, brushing the dirt from his pants. He was tall with spiked hair and black eyes. He had the Ren Osaki look. (A character from Nana.)

"Y-Y-Yamasuzu..." Akihoshi stuttered out as she blushed fervently. The boy looked at her with apprehension.

"That ain't me...I'm Kurohashi Matsumori. What'cha want?" Akihoshi looked about to cry.

"Please, Kurohashi-san...don't you recognize your past koibito?"

"M-My what!"

CLIFFHANGER!

Sorry, but I don't have much time to make a longer chapter! GOMEN NASAI!

Bluu: But I want to back upstairs and make fun of people!
