The Childhood of Yoh Asakura

Ch: 4

When Yoh woke up the next morning he found that Hao wasn't in the bedroom. He got out of bed and started roaming the halls. He finally found his mother Keiko. "Hey mom, do you know where Hao is?"

"… I don't know… But you shouldn't be worried about him right now. I think it would be best if you were to start packing your things." She sighed and walked off. Yoh could tell that none of his family members wanted him to leave, it's just that they thought that moving to a new school would be good for them. Everyone but Hao. Hao opposed Yoh moving with every fiber of his being.

Yoh walked into his room. He didn't want to pack. "On the bright side, I don't have to go to school today". He said trying to grin, but all he could muster was a sad smile, very unlike Yoh. Yoh looked around his room. He was going to miss being home a lot. Especially sharing a room with Hao. True, Hao was an odd brother, but Yoh still loved him a lot. Yoh took out a suitcase and started packing. He was going to need a lot of stuff if he was going to be living there for a while. He wondered how much he'd be able to see his family. 'Maybe on holidays or my birthday?' he thought.

After much packing, and repacking, and squishing the suitcase to make everything fit, he finally finished. The room looked bare without Yoh's possessions to fill it. It was Hao's room too, but he didn't have many things besides the essentials that he needed. Hao always said if you can live without it, you don't need it. Yoh smirked at his brothers odd rationalizing. Well, maybe Hao's rationalizing wasn't odd. Maybe everybody else's thoughts on possessions were odd. He tried to pick up his suitcase, but found that it was too heavy. He began dragging it into the hall, when he saw Hao. He was outside sitting on a tree branch. Yoh stopped trying to pull his suitcase and went outside to talk to his brother.

"I'm leaving today Hao." He hated saying those words, they reminded him that he wouldn't be able to talk to Hao like he was doing now for a long time.

"I know." Hao was really quiet, then he spoke up again and smiled, "I'll visit you real soon though. And if you don't like the school, Keiko said that you could come home. Yoh smiled, Hao always had a way to cheer Yoh up.

Later that day

Yoh's parents had come to see him off at the train station. Yoh was a little upset that Hao hadn't come too, but he never did like going out in public places. Besides, Hao had already said his goodbyes. To be honest, Yoh wondered how Hao would ever let Yoh leave. Usually Hao was always by Yoh's side, what was Yoh going to do without Hao? Yoh kissed his mother and hugged his father, and then he boarded the train with all of his things. He was really going to miss all of them, even his grandfather Yohmei, who had made him train for countless hours. It paid off though. In that month without school though, Hao had taught him more about shamanism than Yoh had learned his whole life. His family was proud of him. They also brought something up about a shaman competition. 'What was the name of that thing again? Oh yeah! The Shaman King competition.' Yoh thought to himself as he watched the train pull out of his hometown.

Yoh got off the train, it had been a long trip, but the train ride was finally over. He looked around. His parents had given him instructions of how to get to the house that he was staying at, but Yoh wasn't good with stuff like that. After a long search Yoh finally found it. 'Wow! This place is huge!' He looked at the enormous place where he was staying. His father told him that it used to be an inn. He thought that it would be big, but this! It was huge! Yoh used the keys he was given to open the door. "Hello? Anybody here?" Yoh said to empty home. Of course nobody was there. He had temporarily forgotten what his mother had told him at the train station before he left. Nobody would be there for a least a month, then the friend of the family would come and stay with him. Yoh decided that it would be better if he were to unpack his things. It took a while, but he was finally done. He also discovered a few new things while unpacking. He found out why his parents got this place for so cheap... It was haunted. To be honest, this really didn't bother Yoh. He liked having somebody here with him while he waited for the friend of the family to arrive. His parents probably did this so that they could make sure that somebody was watching over Yoh at all times. Yoh sighed, tomorrow was his first day of school. This time it would be different, Yoh wouldn't tell a single sole that he was a shaman. Maybe if nobody knew that he was a shaman he would make friends. He decided that it would be best not to draw attention to himself and act like a normal kid. It wasn't long until he started to feel homesick. He thought of what Hao might do with him to cheer him up. Stargaze. With that Yoh grabbed his coat and walked out the door. He didn't know where a good place to stargaze would be, so he asked one of the local ghost that resided within his house.

"Your best bet would be funibari cemetery, That's where I would go." The spirit answered him.

"Okay, Thanks!" Yoh said as he headed off to Funibar cemetery. When he got there he found that there was a huge hill. He walked up it and plopped himself down right on the top. He was enjoying himself talking to the spirits within the graveyard, it reminded him of home. He could already say that he had made a couple of friends, even if they were spirits. 'Perfect!' He thought. Just then he heard some rustling in the bushes. He looked down and saw a boy, a very small boy. The boy looked stressed. 'Maybe he'll be my first human friend.' He decided to try and talk to him. The boy was rushing through the cemetery at a fast speed. Yoh just smiled, "What's the rush? It's a beautiful night. Want to stargaze with us?"

This caught the boys attention. "First of all, you don't say "us" when referring to yourself, and-"

"But I'm not alone, I meant all of my spirit friends." Yoh forgot for a moment that normal humans couldn't see spirits. Not to mention his plan of keeping his shaman powers a secret. He almost slapped himself, but then a look of pure horror crossed the young boys face.

"G-G-GHOST!" The boy took of screaming and running even faster then before.

Yoh was confused, "So he can see ghosts." Yoh sighed, "Too bad I scared him off like that." With that Yoh took off toward home.

The next day had arrived and Yoh was walking to his new school for his first day. How he acted today would decide whether or not he would fit in. He hated the fact that he was pretending to be something he wasn't, but he would hate it even more if this school experience turned out like the last one. Yoh got to his room and reached up for the handle, preparing himself for what he knew lay ahead. He opened the door and walked into the classroom. The teacher saw the boy and quickly walked toward him

"Class, we have a new student, his name is Yoh Asakura." The teacher announced.

Yoh looked over all the students. They seemed nice. For the most part it seemed like the students liked him, one girl even started blushing. Except for one kid. 'It's the boy from last night!' Yoh thought.

The boy bounced up and pointed his finger at Yoh, "I told you! See it's the kid from last night! See! SEE!"

Yoh knew that if he told the boy that he was the kid stargazing with ghosts last night that he could kiss his chance of being accepted goodbye. So he lied. "I've never seen you before in my life." He then sat down in his seat. Yoh hated lying.

Then rest of the school day was pretty boring. Yoh even fell asleep in one of his classes. Finally the day ended, and he was finally able to do what he wanted…. Nothing. Yoh just loved lounging about and doing nothing in particular. His dream was to have the easy life after all.

That's the end of this chapter! The next chapter will have more about Morty, and maybe even Anna…. I don't know though. Thanks for reading, please review!
