Yoh and the others enter in the Patch Village. A bunch of reporters surrounded them and started taking photos of Amat.
"Shaman Queen, what are you expecting from this Shaman Fight?" A reporter asked, taking photos from Amat.
"Shaman Queen, who is your favorite?" Another reporter asked.
"Well, I…" Amat didn't know what to answer. "I really have a favorite, but I prefer not to pronounce myself about that."
"It's true the rumors that if Hao actually wins the Shaman Fight, you'll not give him the crown?" Other reporter asked. Amat sent him a strange look.
"Well, despite all my fights with Hao, if he wins all the combats, I'll have got to make him King." Amat answered. Yoh and the rest of the group were very blushed, while a lot of reporter took photos from them.
"Queen, it's true you're dating Horokeu Usui?" A female reporter asked. Amat and Horo-Horo blushed a lot. The Ainu put his arm around Amat's shoulders.
"Yes, it's true!" Horo-Horo answered. All started taking photos from him. "And I'm going to make her very happy." Horo-Horo victory smiled while they took photos.
"He hasn't changed!" Len said, looking to him as if he was reproving his acts.
"He just wants to feel important." Chocolove said.
"According with the laws, if Horo-Horo is dating the Shaman Queen, he's now a Shaman prince or something like that." Faust said.
"Yoh!" Anna called and looked to Yoh. He looked to her. "See how famous you can be if you win the title of Shaman King." Yoh didn't catch that one. "You'll have a lot of reporters around you and, of course, I'll always be at your side."
"I don't know if I want all this kind of attention…" Yoh said, seeing how Amat and Horo-Horo were troubled in the middle of all those frenetic reporters.
"OF COURSE YOU WANT!" Anna called one of her guardians and hit Yoh. The boy hits the ground, crying a lot.
"Yes, I want! You're right!" Yoh cried.
"Sure I am!" Anna said.
Amat and Horo-Horo finally could get rid of all that people and the group can now rest in a restaurant.
"Queen!" Silva said, making a bow to Amat. "We're happy to have you where again."
"Thanks, Silva." Amat said and Silva went to the kitchen.
"So, Amat, what kind of power did you get when you become Shaman Queen?" Anna asked. Yoh, Len, Chocolove and Horo-Horo were speaking about the reporters while Ryou was trying to save Manta from Faust.
"Well, I'm immortal, forever young and I can make any shaman do whatever I ask him to!" Amat told. "Among others."
"What do you mean when you say 'I can make any shaman do whatever I ask him to'? Anna asked, with a mysterious bright on her eyes.
"Do you wanna see?" Amat asked trickily smiling.
"AHAHAH!" Len screamed. Yoh was hugging Len tightly, ready to give him a big kiss. "What are you doing? Get of me…" Yoh kissed Len. All became shocked. Anna looked to Amat.
"Once I'm the Shaman Queen, I hold the powers of the Great Spirits which allows me to manipulate the body of any of my subjects. I can make Ryou dance as a professional ballet dancer or even make you the warmest person in the world." Amat said.
"Yoh!" Anna called. "Yoh! You definitely HAVE to win the tournament! But don't even think of obligate me to do a thing I don't wanna!" Yoh stopped kissing Len and looks to Anna. Suddenly, Yoh's face gets blue and Yoh releases Len, whose face was also blue.
"He can't!" Amat said. All looked to her. "As any rule, there are exceptions."
"What kind of exceptions?" Horo-Horo asked.
"A Shaman King cannot control the body of the former King or one of his children. A King cannot also control the body of his own children and…" Amat's expression gets sad. All noticed her pause. "… or the shaman with you first made love."
"So, that's why you cannot control Hao." Len asked. Amat signs with her head.
"But… if Yoh and Hao shared the same soul, how can you control Yoh?" Manta asked.
"They share the same soul, but they are not the same, that's why! Besides, they have different bodies and Hao main soul his with him on his body." Amat said.
"Imagine if I could manipulate everybody…" Ryou looked up for his thought balloon. The image of Anna and Amat serving him was very good. Ryou stupidly smiled.
"Yoh."
"Yes, Anna"
"I haven't forgotten that you kissed Len in front of me." Anna said. Yoh became blue. Anna punched Yoh badly.
"It must be cool… I mean… manipulate the others." Chocolove asked. Amat looked to him.
"Depends… There are some people I don't like to manipulate. Like… Horo-Horo." Amat answered. Horo-Horo blushed. "I… I don't have the courage to manipulate someone I really love." Amat hugged Horo-Horo. "Once I know he is going to make me very happy." Horo-Horo felt a little bad. Amat looked to Horo-Horo. "Isn't that right?"
"Yeah… it is… I think…" Horo-Horo seemed worried. Amat noticed that.
"What's wrong?" Amat asked.
"It's just that… Nothing… Forget it!" Horo-Horo said and left. Amat looked to him.
"Did I say something wrong?" Amat asked, looking to the others.
Horo-Horo through the Patch Village, thinking about what Amat said. The Ainu stopped near the lake, looking to the Great Spirits. Horo-Horo sighed.
"How… How can I make her happy? I'm just a kid…" Horo-Horo looked to the sky. "I guess… it's just too much for me…" Horo-Horo looked to the ground with tears on his eyes. "I like her a lot… more than anything… but then… why can't I feel sure of my task?"
.: Because it isn't your task. :. A voice said. Horo-Horo looked aside and saw Seiryu. The dragon flies near him.
"What do you mean with it isn't my task? I'm Amat's wish… I…"
.: Yes… she wished to have you. But then, how can you explain she waited 500 years for you:. Seiryu asked. Horo-Horo looked to him and found no answer. .: You see, young Horo-Horo, Amat wished for a normal boy, one who wasn't born just for her, but to be perfect for her. You were the boy perfect for her and you only born 14 years ago, that's why she waited so much. :.
"But… how can I make her happy? I'm just a boy!" Horo-Horo said. Seiryu looked to him.
.: You'll make her happy being just who you are. That's why you are the chosen one. Remember you have an important task; you'll make the Shaman Queen happier than she ever was. :. Seiryu looked to Horo-Horo. He didn't seem surer than before.
"Horo-Horo!" Chocolove ran to him.
"Chocolove, what's wrong?" Horo-Horo asked.
"You left without saying anything. We thought you weren't ok." Chocolove said. "What's wrong? You're crying."
"How can I make Amat happy?" Horo-Horo asked. Chocolove found that question strange.
"Well, why don't you ask her? Ask girls something always works. Imagine how simple it would be to Yoh if he asked Anna what she wanted."
"Don't be stupid, Chocolove! I just want to make her happy; I don't wanna ask her to marry me…" Horo-Horo stopped speaking and started to think in the last thing he said.
"Dude… don't think what I think you're thinking." Chocolove begged. Horo-Horo starts smiling. "You know… marriage it's not the solution for all of your disgraces…"
"You saved my life!" Horo-Horo hugged Chocolove. "If I married Amat, I would make her very happy!"
"She married Len's ancestor and she wasn't happy." Chocolove remembered.
"That was because he wasn't her promised one! I am!" Horo-Horo made a glorious pose. "I'll ask Amat's hand in marriage!"
"Stupid decision." Chocolove whispered. "Listen to me! Marry her will not solve everything. You will continue having doubts about her happiness… not for speaking that it will destroy your life. Come on… you're 14!"
"I don't care. I'll marry her!" Horo-Horo said and turned his back to Chocolove.
"How can you marry her if you don't even know how to make love?" Chocolove asked. Horo-Horo stopped and blushed a lot. "Imagine that you marry her and then, in the middle of the night, in those soft and warm sheets, Amat is hugging you, waiting for you to love her… and what do you do? Nothing! Because you don't know!" Horo-Horo looked to Chocolove. "Do you think Amat will feel happy?"
"You're right." Horo-Horo made a sad face. "She would feel awful." Horo-Horo had an idea and makes again the glorious pose. "I'll make love with her first!" Chocolove looked dumbfounded to him. "I'll communicate her my decision." Horo-Horo left. Chocolove looked to him
"He's going to ruin everything." Chocolove said.
Horo-Horo ran to the Patch Village to meet Amat and there she was, speaking with Yoh and Anna.
"Amat! I have something very important to speak with you." Horo-Horo said with a smile on his face.
"Where were you? I was worried." Amat asked. "Why the long smile?"
"Amat…" Horo-Horo blushed a lot. "Do you want do… ah… hey you… do… want… ah… dude… ah… I… do you think we… ah… I… you… I mean…"
"Are you going to say something? Today?" Amat asked. Horo-Horo became red.
"I want to… ah…"
"There you are!" Len appeared behind Horo-Horo. The Ainu froze. "I wrote you and Chocolove in my team for the tournament. We need to train a lot. Of course, once you are a loser, it will not be worthy, but we really need to." Len looked to Horo-Horo, who continued froze. "What?"
" Horo-Horo was going to say something to me…" Amat told Len.
"Well, now he won't do it more. He is going to train with us. Let's go!" Len grabbed Horo-Horo shirt and pulled him. Amat looked to him, saying bye. Seiryu appeared near her.
"I'm wondering. What did Horo-Horo have to speak with me?" Amat asked. Seiryu smiled. "You know, don't you, Seiro-kun…"
.: Maybe…:.
"I hate when you hide things from me." Amat said.
"Horo-Horo was really embarrassed. What was he going to say?" Yoh asked.
After a tormenting day of training with Len, Horo-Horo came back to the Patch village and met Amat at the café. Amat looked to him.
"Oh! My berry. You look so tired. Here, let me help you." Amat put her hands on Horo-Horo shoulders and started doing some massages.
"Oh… that's good." Horo-Horo made a stupid smile and started drooling. "You have fairy hands… Hmm!" Amat smiled, happy for Horo-Horo to appreciate her massages.
"Amat."
"Yes, Anna"
"Can I ask you a favour?" Anna looked to Amat and the queen looked to her. "Can you obligate Yoh to train?" Yoh froze with a bit of rice on his mouth.
"Why?"
"I made him train a lot, but he is always complaining. Can you make it train harder?" Anna asked.
"Well… I can… but remember Yoh will not be the same when he's following my orders." Amat said. Anna decided not to say anything. Amat looked to Horo-Horo, who was much blushed and enjoying Amat's heavenly hands. "Darling, why don't you take a bath? You need to relax a bit. Ah?" Horo-Horo looked up to her.
"Good idea!" Yoh said. "I think we all need a bath. Let's go boys."
The boys were in a hot bath. Len was speaking with Yoh about the training while Horo-Horo was looking up to the stars.
"What's wrong with him?" Yoh asked. Len made a mad face.
"He was like that all day." Len said. "He was always with his head on the clouds and was never paying attention to our attacks."
"I'll try to know." Yoh said and sat near Horo-Horo. The Ainu looked to him. "Hi! I was wondering… Why are you so…?"
"Yoh… I… What do you guys think about Amat?" Horo-Horo asked. All looked to him and blushed.
"Well… she…" Chocolove didn't know what to say and looked to Ryou.
"You know…" Ryou looked to Horo-Horo. "The first thing we remember when someone is speaking about Amat is… I mean… are her breasts." Horo-Horo didn't get that one.
"What do you mean with her breasts? And why are you saying that?" Horo-Horo asked.
"Don't tell me you haven't noticed her big breasts?" Yoh asked. Horo-Horo looked to him.
"I never looked to them… I mean… I like Amat because she is very cute and nice, not because of her breasts." Horo-Horo said. All thought Horo-Horo was still very childish to realize those kinds of things. "Come on… Don't tell me you just think about her breasts?"
"What do you really want to know?" Yoh asked. Horo-Horo blushed a lot.
"I… I have no idea of…" Horo-Horo looked down. All got closer to him. "I… I want to have… I… I wanna… let's say… I…"
"He wants to have sex with her." Chocolove said. All looked to him. Horo-Horo hides his head in the water.
"Have sex?" Yoh asked.
"But you're 14!" Len remembered.
"And then what?" Horo-Horo looked to all of them very mad. "I was chosen to make her happy. You don't understand! I…" A tear fell on the water. "I have to make her happy…And I don't know how!" Horo-Horo ran from the bath. All looked to him.
"He is taking that to serious." Yoh said. Len was looking to the door from which Horo-Horo left.
Amat was on her room along with Faust, who shared the same room as her. The Queen was reading a very big and difficult language book. Faust was reading a book which looked a lot like Amat's. Horo-Horo entered in the bedroom and kneeled down near Amat. The Queen looked to him and smiled.
"What's wrong?" She asked, cleaning the tears on Horo-Horo's face with her kimono. "I don't like to see sad tears in such a beautiful face."
"Amat…" Horo-Horo looked to her. Amat was surprised with his act. "Don't you think… we… once we are meant to be together… don't you think we should… have a deeper relation?"
"Deeper relation?" Amat asked. Faust smiled and decided to leave the room. "What do you mean with that?"
"I…" Horo-Horo blushed a lot. "I think we should try something more…" Amat realized Horo-Horo was not fine. 'What does he want to mean with that?' Amat thought. 'He's too young. I don't wanna to do something that could hurt his feelings; after all, he's just a kid.' Horo-Horo hugged Amat. "I want to make you happy."
"Every time you look at me, you make me happy." Amat said. Horo-Horo calm down. "Just being with you makes me happy." Amat looked to Horo-Horo. "Do you really want to try something more… intense?"
"Yes… I…" Horo-Horo was confused. Amat put him on her bed. Horo-Horo was very nervous. 'What will she do with me? I…' Amat put her hand under Horo-Horo shirt and starts caressing his chest. Horo-Horo blushed even more. "Amat…"
"I'll make it intense." Amat gave Horo-Horo a big kiss. She was enjoying that moment, but she was afraid about Horo-Horo… would he like it? Horo-Horo was experiencing a bunch of new emotions. Amat grabs Horo-Horo's hand and put it on her breasts. Horo-Horo was trembling. "Are you sure about this?" Amat asked once more. "I don't want to hurt you. You're very precious to me."
"I…" Horo-Horo sat on the bed. Amat sat to. "I want to make you happy, but…"
"But you want to feel good too. That's normal. I wish you so both of us could be happy. It wouldn't be fare if only I could be happy." Amat said. Horo-Horo looked to her and felt more relaxed. Amat hugged Horo-Horo. "You're my prince. I'll do what ever you ask me to… I love you, Horo-Horo."
"I… I like you to… and I…" Horo-Horo looked to Amat. "I was enjoying a lot what…" Horo-Horo blushed. "What you were doing…. Could you… do it again?" Amat smiled and lay on the bed, pulling Horo-Horo above her.
"As you wish… I'm your Queen Slave." Amat kissed Horo-Horo and started untying his shorts. The Ainu had no idea of what was going to happen next. Amat untied her kimono and took out her underwear. The Queen noticed Horo-Horo didn't look to her like other men do. 'Of course…' Amat thought. 'He's a child. He does not feel attracted by me. He just wants to be near me… Uh! This is going to be difficult to me to do, but if it is what he wants, I cannot deny.' Amat looked to Horo-Horo. "You can start." Horo-Horo looked a side, a little embarrassed. "What's wrong?"
"I…" Horo-Horo hid his face between his shoulders. "I don't know what to do… I… never…" Amat smiled.
"In that case..." Amat pushed Horo-Horo down and they switched places. "Let me teach you…"Amat started caressing Horo-Horo's face. "How the dream are made." Amat kisses Horo-Horo's face. "This is going to take a while once you're very young, but I'm sure we'll going to reach it." Horo-Horo was looking to Amat like a child who was going to learn something new. Amat hugged Horo-Horo tightly and…
Faust was leaned on the wall of the corridor. Yoh and Ryou passed near him and looked to the doctor and noticed the he size of the book.
"Why are you reading that Bible in the corridor?" Yoh asked. Faust looked to him.
"Why didn't you want to have bath with us?" Ryou asked. "Horo-Horo was with a strange talk about having sex with lady Amat. The kids of nowadays are lost." Faust looked to Ryou and remembered that Horo-Horo went to the room to have a very important talk with Amat. Faust looked to the bedroom door.
"Horo-Horo must be crazy." Yoh said. "Imagine him having sex with Amat… Luckily I don't think on those things." Ryou laugh.
"Come on, D. Yoh, you foolish none." Ryou said. Yoh looked to him. "Don't tell me that you, in that big and empty house, didn't think about going to D. Anna's room and…" Yoh blushed a lot. Faust and Ryou looked to him, waiting that Yoh told them something they unknown.
"Why are you looking to me like that? I'm a virgin." Yoh said.
"No, D. Yoh, you born on May. You're bull." Ryou remembered. Yoh blushed even more.
"I don't have time for this talking right now, I need to… sleep! Tomorrow is a big day!" Yoh fled. Ryou and Faust laugh.
Len and Chocolove where on their bedroom. Chocolove was reading a comic book while Len was looking to the moon.
"Why is Horo-Horo taking so long?" Len asked. Chocolove sent him a trickily smile. Len didn't notice it. "What is he doing?"
"Are you worried with Horo-Horo or with Amat?" Chocolove asked. Len blushed a lot.
"What do you mean with Amat? It's not what you're thinking!" Len said, trying to hide something.
"I'm thinking in nothing! But… once you are so worried… I don't know… someone could think you and Amat… I mean… she's… gorgeous and… she has a special affect for you, once you're her heir." Chocolove said. Len threw a pillow to Chocolove's face.
"Don't think bullshit!" Len screamed. "I feel nothing for Amat. She's just…" Len was trying to found a word, but only good words were filling his head. Chocolove noticed that and completed the sentence.
"She's just sexy, wonderful, beautiful, nice, cool and sexy again." Chocolove said. Len said a lovely yeah, but then shacked his head and made an angry face.
"Don't say those things. You're…"
"Exciting me…"
"Stop completing my sentences! I…" Len threw his bed to Chocolove. The humorist fell on the ground. "There. You deserve it!"
In the morning, Amat was awake, looking to the rising sun. Horo-Horo was on her arms like a baby on the arms of his mommy. Amat was caressing Horo-Horo's head while he slept.
"I wonder…" Amat whispered. "Have I done the right thing?"
