Sorry for the long delay everyone. It's just that I am just getting back on track in my school, and I have a really hard semester ahead! I have Geometry and Biology…Two classes that suck awesomely for me! I hate them. I wish the great Hao-sama would come and liberate me from the black pit known as High School!
Hey I just wish Hao would come see me period… but you are probably not obsessed with Hao-sama as I am.
With that being said, I'll try and make this chapter long as heck. I am in a good mood because I saw "Interview with a Vampire" today! If you all read my bio, like a good fan, you would know that I am also obsessed with Louis and Lestat from the Vampire Chronicles!
Hey, if you wanna review me and talk about those awesome dudes, as well as Hao, then Feel Free To Do So!
Hey reviewers, I Did not forget about yall. Thanks a lot for liking my story and reviewing. but I'm still not sharing Hao(lol)
Enjoy…(I do not Own Shaman King.. If I did, then Hao would be the main character because he's so flipping, bloody awesome!) I love saying that!
Chapter 2(still flashing back)
"Hao!" screamed Yoh,"Wait up!" It was hard to believe that anyone could walk this fast, but then again with Hao… a lot of things about him are unbelievable. Yoh looked to see if his brother had even heard him or even cared to stop.
Nope.
The older longhaired shaman was still walking, his poncho and earrings swaying flawlessly with every step he took. If Yoh didn't know any better, he might have said that Hao knew where he was going.
Might Have.
"Talk about the cold shoulder" thought Yoh. "You expect me to stop and wait for you like some child, said Hao never once stopping or turning back, " You are lazier than I perceived you to be. It's quite disappointing to know that my other half tires form such a simple exercise as walking."
"You really know how to put a guy down," said Yoh.
See, Yoh a pretty smart fellow!
While Hao was busy talking, he caught up to him.
Sure, it took some running…but yeah, He finally caught up!
"Caught ya," said Yoh while stepping into pace with Hao. Yoh was determined to not let him get away again.
Hao said nothing. That's not good, considering that Yoh didn't know what was on Hao's mind.
It was kind of weird, going of and following your maniacal twin-brother who has plans to murder the entire human race of into the forest just because he asked you to.
Guess I don't really weigh my options until I choose them huh?"Uh…. Hao," said Yoh while trying to think of something he and Hao could discuss. He didn't like this silence between them… It was making Yoh feel uncomfortable.
I know! Yoh was just about to say something but then Hao interrupted.
" Please stop your unnecessary ramblings Yoh. I am not going to kill you. Yet, and if I was, I would have done so already. Please remain quiet until we get to our destination, thoughts included, I hear them as well. "Hao Turned and glared at Yoh, all while walking backwards.
If you do not," said Hao maliciously," I shall see to it that you remain silent permanently. He then turned and kept walking, leaving his younger brother silent.
He remained that way until hey reached their destination
It was fifteen minutes after Hao's given threat when the Asakura twins reached their destination.
Yoh was in awe at where his brother had lead him. IT was amazing.
Hao had taken Yoh to a beautiful meadow. It was surrounded by little tress, which made the meadows appearance glimmer and shine. It had beautiful flowers around it in all assortments of colors, but you could tell that the trees where still Oak! (Duh people, Oak trees are awesome…come on admit it!)
Hao had beckoned for Yoh To come where he was, which happened to be at the meadow completely. He came and gaped as he saw the meadow up close. The water was a deep blue yet the cool part was that it was shinning and sparkling because the sun's golden rays were glittering off of it.
Yoh bent down and but his hand to the water. It felt was cool because the sun was shinning directly on it.
He had the strongest urge to get in and splash around, but Yoh didn't have any spare clothes, plus Hao would probably pick on him.
He'd probably say that it was a childish and weak urge, so he just kept his thoughts to himself.
Hao was making a habit out of putting Yoh down.
"Yoh" said Hao," would you like to know why I have bought you here?
Yoh looked at Hao though about it.
Hao's behavior wasn't adding up.
He'd never been nice to him. Something was definitely up though! Yoh just spoke his mind.
"I dunno. If I had to guess though, I'd think you wanted to drown me here. But then, I'd also think that you were granting me some peace by taking me to a nice place and then kill me."
Yoh stopped and smiled. (Of course, his eyes were closed)
"I really don't know why you brought me here. But, I felt that you didn't mean to cause me harm so I followed you because I trusted that you wouldn't hurt me. I hope you don't."
"I have no intentions as I have so stated before. I am flattered that you think such nice thoughts about me, even though you know that I am going to kill you one day. It's touching."
"But enough about that" said Hao.
" The reason I brought you hears is because I wanted to talk to you."
Whoa!
Hao just admitted he wanted to talk to me…?Are pigs flying?
Has someone stuck a spoon in my butt hole? Thought Yoh
Okay that last one was little random, but hey, that happens when you get the shock of your life.
" I really hope that was a random comment, otherwise I would think you were a sick individual" Said Hao
"What, I was shocked. Sometimes it just happens!"
"I would not know, foolish things like that have never happened to me."
"So, What did you want to talk about big bro?" said Yoh. It kind of made him grin a little. He never addressed Hao like that before.
It gave him an odd sensation. It made him a little happy, for some weird reason.
"Yoh, I wish to know how you are you are progressing. It is vital to my plans of, how did you put it so eloquently, "The total and utter annihilation of the human race."
That took Yoh by surprise.
For a conversationalist, Hao sure does suck at it.
Man, Silly of me to think that Hao would actually want to talk about brother stuff with me.
"I can hear you, you know. Your insults mean nothing to me "said Hao
"I wish to know the answer to my question. It is not wise to test my patience."
"Alright already Hao, don't get a crab in your pants" said Yoh playfully. "Since you insist on knowing I have gotten a bit stronger. I can hold my oversoul for about six hours straight. I am a little bit faster, despite what you may have witnessed earlier on the way hear. My senses are sharpening a little bit. I can smell a strong scents from miles away. Also, if I squint really hard, I can see tiny objects, like little particles flying in the air." Yoh had to stop and take a breath and then, he continued.
"So, to answer your question, said Yoh with a smile (eyes open this time), I think I have been improving."
Yoh looked at Hao expecting him to be somewhat moved or impressed by his improvement.
What he saw was Hao standing there with a stoic look on his face.
Of course, Hao always has an unchanging expression. (He always looks as if he's high and he doesn't care)
Except this time, Hao actually looked like he was not impressed.
Am I really the dorky twin"Yes, brother dear" said Hao
"Not only are you the one who lacks intelligence, but from what I have heard just now, you are also lacking strength as well. It's quite pathetic."
Hao began to laugh. For an evil dude, Hao had a soft, ringing laughter. It sounded just like Yoh's, except more masculine.
The resemblance to Yoh's own laugh was to be expected because duh… They are Twins.
Drag my pride through the mud why don't you?"That's not funny Hao"
"Oh, on the contrary brother dear, it is quite amusing," said Hao stopped laughing.
"I find this so funny because you, plan on fighting me at this weak state to protect the humans of this world? I would hate to ruin your dreams Yoh, but that furyoku you have is like a little fly's compared to mine. Lest you forget that my Furyoku is one million two hundred fifty thousand. I am capable of using oversoul for 5 years straight without fault. I can even control it in my sleep. Not to mention the fact that I have mastered the five elements: Fire, Wood, Earth, Metal, and Water."
Hao Paused and made a thinking face.
"Did I forget to mention that I can change The Sprit of Fire into any on these elements? I prefer to use Fire. It is through Fire alone that I shall rid the precious earth of the humans and the filth that they have created. I will restore order to this land. No more shall it be destroyed and used for corruption, greed, and violence. No more shall these humans deter this land. It shall be beautiful and pure again. Just like this meadow", said Hao while looking into the meadow at his own reflection.
Yoh, on the other hand, was just sitting there listening to his brother.
He had a point. Yoh wasn't all that strong, compared to Hao and his furyoku.
Also, Hao had a good point about the humans. It is true that all humans are to sin and destroy by nature. It is true that because of greed and hate that humans have for each otter, A certain person or thing is destroyed by humans.
This, Yoh understood. But he also knew some things.
There are those humans that have not wronged in their lifetime. They are rare to find, but still, there are some humans out there. There are some humans out there that work to protect the earth, or animals or children. They are rare but still, there are thus types of humans out there.
There are people that try to find better solutions to disputes through different means other than wars. There are those out there who work to replenish the earth of all it has lost, maybe by working to restore trees and such.
Yes there are those humans out there.
" Hao", called Yoh absent-mindedly. He honestly did not mean to do it, but he did.
He wanted to tell Hao all of this. Hao had turned around, showing that he had acknowledged his brother.
"Are you aware that there are people who are not corrupt in this world. There are people that are searching for the same sort of peace that you are looking for, yet they are going about it by different means. "
"Sometimes, instead of wars Hao, people have discussions about their disputes and settle them by compromise. Not all humans jump to war because of trivial things. That is a stereotype. And are you aware that some people are trying to restore this world to the beauty that it once held before. That there are some people that are trying to rid this world of violence, but by different means than you have so chosen.
Hao, You can't be so darn narrow- minded all the flipping time. You got to realize, that in some weird way, by all this destruction and all this corruption, Humans are beginning to try to exist as peaceful beings. All we can do is hope that one day, our other fellow beings make it to that time. Do ya feel me now big bro?"
(I don't know about you dudes and dudettes that are reading my awesome fic right now, but didn't Yoh just sound incredibly intelligent!)
Hao had been looking in the meadow at his reflection in the meadow while Yoh delivered his litany to him. His expression hadn't changed at all except that now his brows were furrowed. That could have meant that he was either thinking or Yoh officially succeeded in ticking his older brother off.
Yoh was praying it wasn't the last one.
Hao was just stood there staring at his reflection. His long brown locks and red earrings sat motionless. The only way Yoh knew that Hao was alive was that he saw the rise and fall of his chest through his tan-colored poncho and his sharp, obsidian- eyes kept blinking.
I guess we all know now that Hao was in the thinking process.
That's A good Thing
"Perhaps, Yoh, Perhaps you are right. My opinion remains the same though."
"I think that the only way for you to truly know if this world is slowly changing as you say it is, Is for you to defeat me. I think we both know it would be a miracle if it did happen, this is something I plan to see through to the very end. Just as you have your dreams, I have mine.
And the destruction of all humans just happens to be on the list."
Yoh watched as Hao walked straight up to Yoh, until they were facing eye –level with one another. Hao, being slightly taller than Yoh, had the advantage.
"Also, brother dear, do not forget that you are an essential part of this plan. I will become one with you again. You cannot avoid what is coming; we cannot exist without each other. You and I are one, always have been, and will be once again. I am your dark, while you are my light. Together, We complete each other"said Hao.
Hao reached for Yoh's hair and began to twist his fingers inside of it. Almost as if he was patting Yoh on the head, like older siblings do to younger ones.
Yoh thought it was a nice feeling. He vowed he would treasure this nice moment with his older brother.
Then again, it was probably the only one they had ever had
"I do not expect you to come easy, so fight strong. This all I merely ask of you. If you want to save this world, then do so."
"You got it Hao."
"Good."
Now that we have that settled", said Hao in a gentle tone, "I must take my leave."
Hao then walked past Yoh and proceeded to the oak tree they had passed on the way to the meadow. Yoh followed.
"Why do you have to go?"
Just then, something rustled in the tree branches. IT came from the tree that they had just stopped in front of.
Yoh looked up and nearly screamed from shock.
Out the tree came a little African girl. She landed right on the shoulder of Hao. She was wearing an orange poncho, similar to the one that Hao was wearing but smaller, and some golden cufflinks around her wrists and her ankles. This small child wore no shoes so her tiny, brown toes were showing and she had an Afro puff hairstyle that was kept concealed behind her orange bandana.
It was Opacho, Hao ever-faithful right-hand man . . .. Ermmmm. Girl. That's right hand girl.
" Hao-sama, may Opacho tell Yoh-sama why he must take absence?" asked Opacho.
"Sure, Be my guest."
"Very well then Hao-sama. Yoh-sama, Hao –Sama has to go now because the dinner that I have prepared for him is now ready. Opacho would like it very much if Hao-sama would come now so that his dinner is nice and hot for him"
Opacho had a very enthusiastic voice, yet it sounds like somebody had majorly coached her on the Hao-sama thing.
"Opacho was not coached on her honorifics at all Yoh-sama. Opacho loves Hao-sama very much and will respect him and serve him to her fullest. Hao-sama has never forced me by his side; Opacho went because she felt she wanted to.
Opacho will never leave Hao-sama's side.
She would rather die."
"And to answer, your foreshadowing question Yoh, yes, Opacho can read minds. Do not ask me how because not even I know the full extent of her powers"chirped Hao.
Yoh was just standing there thinking 'ooooooooooookay'. This was because he was digesting all these facts at an incomprehensible rate.
Dare I say? Yoh is a slow learner. But he did know why Hao had to go now.
"Alright, I think I got'cha now Opacho. Hao it's all good."
Hao gave Yoh a strange look but then proceeded to turn and leave. All the while, he carried his servant and companion, Opacho, on his shoulder.
He watched his brother walk away until he couldn't see him or Opacho's silhouette again.
End Flash BackYoh loved that talk he had with Hao. It might not have seemed like much, but they had a tender moment together.
That was then. That was the only moment together they would ever have.
Hao was dead. Yoh killed him. There was nothing he could do to take it back.
Nothing.
So Yoh, closed his mind, and tried to shut out the thoughts pf his deceased brother so that he could focus on the day that was ahead for him.
So, yuppers
That's chapter two
