"Urgh… what time is it now?" Opacho murmured. She rubbed her eyes. Then she heard a knock on her door.
"Opacho… Opacho… wake up…" a low voice said behind the door.
"Hai, Mari." Opacho got off of the bed.
'Wait… didn't Opacho sleep on the desk last night?' But she just shrugged, and then walked out from the room.
"Ohayo, Opacho!" Macchi greeted her as she munched on her bread.
"Ohayo, Macchi." Opacho smiled then took a seat beside Mari.
"Sleep well?" Mari asked with a small smile. Opacho nodded before sipped her chocolate milk. Kanna came from her room.
"Umm… that stormy last night made me couldn't sleep." Then she yawned.
"Yeah… Opacho too. Opacho felt so cold last night, but…" Opacho stopped her word. She remembered something.
"But what?" Macchi munched on another bread. Opacho kept silent.
"Is something wrong, Opacho?" Mari asked.
Opacho wanted to ask. Did anyone move her to her bed? Especially, did Hao-sama come last night? But she didn't dare to ask.
"Un… Nothing. Opacho… Opacho just dreamed about Hao-sama… last night."
SILENCE
"Uh… really?" Macchi asked in uncertainty tone. Kanna smacked Macchi on her forehead. Mari forced to smile.
"Ah… It's great, Opacho."
Opacho just smiled.
Few days after that…
-Florist-
Opacho took four daisies and brought it to cashier.
'For Kanna, Mari, Macchi, and Luchist.' She smiled
"Konnichiwa. Do you want to buy four daisies?" The cashier greeted her. Opacho nodded.
"Alright. Wait a minute." The cashier began to calculating. Opacho took a look around.
Her gaze stopped on a man waited for his daughter outside the florist. His daughter picked a wild flower and gave it to her dad. Her dad smiled and hugged her. Then he picked her up and the walked away.
Opacho smiled bitterly.
"It's 800 yen."
Opacho ran to the daisy counter, and took a daisy. She tiptoed to the cashier and gave the daisy.
"Umm… 1000 yen."
Opacho gave her money and brought the flowers.
'It's for Hao-sama…' Opacho smiled.
-Meanwhile-
The Hanagumi knocked the En Inn's front door.
"Hey, Kanna. Are you sure we do the right thing?" Macchi asked.
"Of course we do. This is for Opacho's sake." Kanna answered.
Then they heard a female's yell from inside.
"YOH! GET THE DOOR!"
"Hai, Anna…"
Then the door opened.
"Hanagumi?" Yoh asked in disbelief.
"Yeah… Here we are." Macchi answered in mocking tone.
"Umm… Come in." Yoh said with his grin.
"Thanks." Kanna said shortly.
"Yoh-sama…" Mari called. (Yeah, they are using 'sama' to Yoh, because Yoh is Hao's brother. If you don't believe me, just check the manga )
"We want to talk to Anna."
"Okay, this way."
-Living Room-
"What do you want?" Anna asked in her usual cold tone.
Then Kanna told all of the story, and how Opacho want to meet Hao again, for her special day.
"So you want me to summon Hao?" Anna asked. Those girls nodded in unison.
"Sorry to interrupt you." Yoh said suddenly.
"What is it?" Macchi asked.
"I just want you all to know. I… I mean, me and Anna… felt Hao's presence last night."
Their eyes widened in shock. Anna nodded.
"Yeah, even obaa-san called us about it, because she could felt his presence too from Izumo."
"From… Izumo?" Mari whispered.
"Hai. And she said that Hao's candle of life is flare up again."
"I… I don't get it. Could you explain to us?" Kanna asked.
Yoh nodded. "This candle of life that I talking about is a candle of Asakura family's life. The flame is the life of the owner."
"If it is flare up, that's the sign of the owner is still alive. If it is extinguished, that's the sign that the owner is dead. (I'm not lying! Check the anime episode 62. When Yoh was dead, a candle extinguished in front of Kino.)So, Hao's candle was flare up again last night." Yoh stated.
"So where is he?" Kanna asked again.
"We don't know either." Anna answered. "But we could give it a try." She brought her beads.
-Yard-
"Who will be the medium of Hao's soul?"
"Me." Yoh grinned.
Anna started. "Alright, let's begin."
"I fondle it once, for the seed of mother."
"I fondle it twice, for the seed of father."
"I fondle it thrice…"
Anna continued to spell. Yoh closed his eyes. Macchi clenched her fist. Mari tightened her hug to Chuck. Until there were some fireballs behind her, she began to yell.
"FUSION OF SPIRIT MEDIUM! SPIRIT OF ASAKURA HAO! COME OUT NOW!"
She hit her beads on Yoh's back. Yoh fell down to the ground, so did his headphone. And then Yoh's aura began darker than before.
Yoh looked at them with different stare, which remind Hanagumi with Hao. Even Anna clenched her fist, a little worried about Yoh.
"Yoh?" Anna asked.
Yoh turned to Anna, and looked at Hanagumi again.
"I…"
Hanagumi gasped. 'That's Hao-sama's and Yoh-sama's voice in unison!'
Yoh's face began paler. He closed his eyes and fainted onto the ground again.
"YOH!" Anna screamed. She knelt by his side and looked at him worriedly.
"Yoh! Wake up! Yoh!" Anna shook his shoulder back and forth.
Kanna bit her lower lip, Macchi covered her mouth, and Mari covered her face with her palms.
Yoh opened his eyes. "Anna?"
Those girls startled.
"Yoh?" Anna looked at him.
"I'm still alive. Don't worry." Yoh said weakly.
"Who said that I'm worried?" Anna grumbled.
"Hehehe… you know what? Even if Hao has dead, he is still very powerful. Look! I can't hold his soul on my body!"
"Umm… we're sorry, Yoh-sama." Macchi said.
Yoh grinned. "It's okay… oh, yeah. He said that…"
Hanagumi looked at him.
"He said that, he will come. But don't you say to Opacho about this Hao's summoning, okay?"
They smiled so happily.
"Hai, Yoh-sama!"
