Chapter One: Back

Anna sighed as she prepared their breakfast.

It has been a month since she had the dream, and it came to her on a regular basis, usually saddening her at the very thought of it.

At long last, Hao had proposed to her…and she accepted.

Hana was quite happy to have a father…or rather a stepfather at least.

All these years his mother had been crying, and he wanted her to be happy.

Hao walked in the kitchen, rubbing his eyes.

"Morning, Anna." He muttered as he gave her a quick kiss.

Anna's lips curved slightly into something that looked like a smile.

Hana slowly trudged in the room, carrying a chocolate brown teddy bear.

Yawning, he settled in his seat, his hair messed untidily

Hao smiled at his stepson-to-be, who gave back a sheepish grin.

It reminded Hao of his brother.

Those eyes, that sheepish grin.

Ren shuffled his feet to the bathroom, a towel being the only piece of clothing he wore.

He sighed as he looked at the huge mirror.

Sigh.

His purple hair had grown over the years, and now went past his shoulders. The spike on his hair was long gone, and his face looked mature. His body became slightly bigger than before, his muscles firm and supple. He was drop dead gorgeous, no doubting that.

Many girls from all over China would faint at the mere sight of him, and some would even squeal loudly at the slightest smile.

He was loved, but he never loved.

"Chairman Yu" the employees bowed with respect as he headed to his office.

Alexis Yu, as he was told, was his name.

Seven years ago, he woke up in a hospital, bandaged. He couldn't remember anything…except for one name. Anna.

He hasn't forgotten it since…it might be a link to his missing memory.

Walking inside the office, he opened his phone, checking for messages.

It hasn't been long since he arrived when he heard a voice by the doorway.

"Chairman Yu, your plane awaits."

He sighed and stood up, nodding at the employee.

"Bye, Hana!" Hao called. Hana turned back and waved at Hao.

"Bye, Daddy Hao!" He shouted happily, before turning back and running towards the school.

Hao smiled contentedly at himself and drove off.

Ren took one last look at the mirror.

He wore a black jacket over a black turtleneck, a silver chain around with a small pendant as his accessory. In it was engraved the letter "P".

"Master Ren, we need to go now."

"Okay class, father's day is coming close, so for your homework, you'll be making a letter to your daddy. Tell him everything you want, and since it's for him, make it look special." The teacher said as the students walked out of the room.
The class cheered happily.

All except for one.

Hana sadly grabbed his bag, walking towards the hallway.

The clouds looked dark and heavy as Alexis Yu stepped out the plane. It was a short trip from China to Japan, and somehow, the place looked familiar.

But he was sure he hasn't been here before.

He shook his head and recollected his thoughts.

"No…" He saw flashes of light before him, screams of people…

It was driving him crazy.

He dropped whatever he carried and clutched his head, falling on his knees.

"Please…make it stop!" He shouted.

His assistant, Hiro, looked at him with concern, dropping on his knees to help.

He knew something. But he wouldn't tell.

Alexis ran off, his head filled with confusion. His bodyguards tried to follow, but Hiro stopped them.

"Let him go."

What luck. He just missed the bus, and he had to walk home.

Hana felt a drop of water on his cheek. Once. Twice.

And it was everywhere. Rain.

Seeking for shelter, he ran through the rain and under a huge tree. He sighed as he looked around.

Great. No one was around.

He rummaged through his pack, looking for an umbrella.

"Oh, great." Was all he can say.

What a total bummer.

First he missed the bus, and now he is stuck in the middle of a heavy rainstorm, soaked to the bone, without an umbrella.

"Amidamaru?"

The ghost appeared, floating beside his former master's son.

Ren sighed lazily as he stared out of the window.

It had been an hour since his arrival, and he wanted to pay his friends in Funbari a quick visit.

After all, it's been seven years.

The limousine hasn't gone too far when he spotted a boy under a tree. And he was talking to…

"Amidamaru." He gasped. What happened these past seven years?

"Stop the car."

The driver did as he was told.

Ren stepped outside, carrying a huge black umbrella.

Hana rubbed his arms for warmth.

He knew his daddy Hao wouldn't come for him, he and his mother thought he brought an umbrella.

"Hello there."
A voice behind him almost made him jump.

"Master Ren!" Amidamaru exclaimed, a bit happy to see an old acquaintance.

"Hello, Amidamaru."
"Mister?" Ren looked at the boy. He looked like someone he knew.

He just couldn't put his finger on it.

"You can see ghosts, too?"

Ren nodded. He turned his gaze back at the ghost.

"Where is Yoh, and may I ask who this boy is."

Amidamaru looked away.

"Perhaps it would be better if we went back to the inn and have it discussed indoors."

Ren nodded, realizing his point.

It would look stupid if he were to be seen talking to something invisible to others. He held his umbrella over the two of them and smiled at the boy.
"Don't worry. I'm an acquaintance of Yoh's."

Hana nodded nervously. Who was this man? And why does he know Amidamaru?

Anna looked at her watch.

Four thirty.

Hana was supposed to go home two hours ago, but he still wasn't.
She gave a worried sigh as she looked at her fiancé.

"You think he'll be alright?"

Hao nodded.

"He's an Asakura, and a shaman. He won't get harmed. He probably went somewhere."

He said, tilting her face with his finger, her face only a few inches from his. She gave a nervous smile.

"I suppose you're right."
"I know I'm right." He said, snaking his arms around her waist.

Their faces inched closer and closer…

And then…

The doorbell rang.

Anna got out of Hao's grasp, hoping that her son has arrived.

Hao sighed in disappointment and followed her.

Cliffhanger!
Hahahahahah!
.

Wonder what could've happened if the doorbell didn't ring until a few hours?
00

I know I'm being a perv, but my accidental encounter with a lemon fic kinda changed it all. .
And I'm running for senator in out student government, so I'm busy. I just kinda escaped the wrath of my mom just to type this. .

And I lied! Anna did like Hao, well, only a bit, but she accepted his proposal!

.

And about Ren…I couldn't help it! xDDD!

He's just DDG! As in drop-dead gorgeous!
