Me: -sigh- Now they'll meet Yoh and Ren's going to show just how strong he is.

Lyserg: Is he going to lose?

Me: That's for the readers to read and find out. Oh, since Yoh hasn't met Amidamaru yet, he'll have a different spirit.

CHAPTER 3

They were hovering over the forest near Izumo. "Where are we going in Japan anyways Hao-kun?" Lyserg asked. Hao smiled. "We're going to visit my otouto," he said. Ren scuffed. "Great, were going to have a little kid with us (Ren, you are 6. You're pretty little!)." Ren said. "He's my twin," Hao said. Lyserg had a big smile on his face. "Will he join us?" he asked. Hao shook his head. "Not likely, so don't get your hopes up Lyserg." Hao said. Ren smirked. "So what's you otouto like?" he asked Hao. Hao turned to Ren and said, "He's a baka, who I can't believe was once a part of me. I want him to get stronger, so when we merge as one, I'll be at maximum power. The power I need to help this world." Hao said. Lyserg hugged onto Hao tighter, the wind blowing to fast for his liking.

When Hao spotted the house, he told the spirit of fire to move down. Home sweet home...they were still in the forest, the house only 5 yards away. "Why aren't we going to the house?" Lyserg asked. He would like to meet his friend's brother. "Cause Yoh's in the forest training, near the cliff. Come on," Hao said. Ren held Lyserg's hand so that the green haired boy wouldn't feel scared in the woods. Lyserg smiled at Ren. "How'd you know I was scared?" Lyserg asked. Ren huffed and said, "You get scared of everything,". Lyserg pouted. "Not true," he said. "Come on guys, hurry up. Just a little further," Hao said.

They all looked to see Yoh Asakura sleeping. Ren sighed and said, "You expect me to believe you're related to this slacker Hao?". Hao laughed. Lyserg then walked up and kneeled down to Yoh. He poked Yoh's face and said, "Hey, wakie wakie!". Hao chuckled. Could anyone be this cute? Yoh's eyes opened, and he had a look of that of an idiot. "What's your name Hao-kun otouto?" Lyserg asked. Yoh yawned. "Um... who's Hao? I'm Yoh," he said. Ren sighed and said, "Hao, don't bother fighting this moron. I'll handle it." Ren said. Hao nodded. "Have fun Ren," Hao said. Ren sighed. This Yoh looked weak. "Lyserg, move out of the way. I'll handle it," Ren said as he pulled out his kwan do. Lyserg understood, got up and stood next to Hao.

"Now we'll see just how good Ren is." Hao said. Lyserg nodded and then cheered, "Go Ren!". Ren pointed at Yoh and said, "Fight me, and prove to me you are strong.". Yoh just seemed confused. He then felt the spirit of the dead archer, Miramo. He grabbed the spirit and pushed it in his body. Yoh then took a the bow and the arrows that were right beside him. Ren smirked. He yelled out hyoi gatte as hepushed Bason inside him. He tried to strike Yoh with his spear, but Yoh blocked it easily with the bow. Ren smiled. "It's good to know that you can fight a little. But you're not as good as me!" Ren yelled. The kwan do moved at unbelievable speed and Yoh fell back. Yoh quickly got up and shot an arrow directly at Ren.

Yoh was shocked when Ren caught it with ease. Yoh just shot another arrow, but it was too late. Ren pushed him back with great force that Yoh had passed out. "Sugoi," Lyserg whispered. Hao yawned. "Ren, stop playing around. Let's go somewhere else," Hao said. Ren walked along side the other two and they left on the spirit of fire. "Ren, you are so cool!" Lyserg said and hugged him. Ren had a smug look on his face and said, "He was just weak.". Hao smirked at their antics, though he was sad by his otouto's laziness. Lyserg noticed Hao's disappointment, and sat on his lap and gave a big smile. "It's okay Hao, I think it will motivate Yoh to be stronger." Lyserg tried to reassure. The green haired boy then gave Hao a peck on the cheek and giggled at Hao's blushing face. Ren groaned and said, "You guys are embarrassing.". Hao tisked him and said, "Don't make me mad Ren, you know how powerful I am. Be prepared for some harsh training for the shaman king tournament.".

Lyserg and Ren looked excited. "Yay, and now it will be fun with Ren with us." Lyserg jumped. Ren sighed. "Why do you have to be so... cute and fuzzy?" he asked. Lyserg laughed at Ren. "This from the guy who carries a stuffed tiger around?" Lyserg said. Ren blushed and started cursing like 6 years shouldn't. "So where are we going now Hao?" Ren asked. Hao put a finger to his chin and thought. Then he said, "The tournament is in Tokyo, and we can train there.". Tokyo wasn't that far since they were flying. Lyserg was amused by the lights the city made, and Ren looked at it with disgust. "Hao-kun, look what the humans made. Though, it's still not as pretty as nature itself," Lyserg said. Ren nodded in agreement. Hao sighed. "That's why they must be annihilated Lyserg," Hao said. Lyserg clung to Hao tighter and they descended down to the ground.

Ren liked the adrenaline that flying gave and pouted as he felt that they were dropping down. There was a cemetary near by that was also a park. Lyserg was greeted by the many spirits in the cemetary, making him feel scared and he clung to Hao. "I don't want to be possessed." Lyserg cried. Hao smiled at the boy's antics and led them to the forest just outside the park. "We'll stay in an underground cave near the forest," Hao said. Ren nodded and held Lyserg's hand so he wouldn't get lost. Morphine felt at home in the forest and looked really happy. Bason was just happy that his bochama had friends, though thought it was bad to leave his sister Jun in the house by herself with her parents and grandparents.

They walked for about 30 yards to see a big hole about 20 feet in diameter. The cave sloped down and the ceiling didn't look so damp. There were very few bats, which was kind of strange. Lyserg took his shirt off and put it on the floor of the cave. "This place is pretty warm," Diethel said. Ren and Hao smiled at his enjoyment and sat next to him. They did the same thing to their shirts as well. "Right now is about 7:30 pm, judging by the position of the sun." Ren said. "Bochama is so smart," Bason praised. Lyserg told Morphine to go further into the cave, to see how deep it was. The fairy didn't come back until about an hour later, whispering to Lyserg that there was a cliff, and if they jumped off it, they would land in an underwater cave. "Lyserg, don't try swimming in that water. There are dangerous animals living in it," Hao said.

The british boy pouted, but he knew Hao knew best. Yesterday and today was great. He already had a cool friend that he loved, and now he met another and could love him too. Then Hao's stomach grumbled and they all laughed. "What do we eat?" Lyserg asked. Ren then spotted a deer and threw his kwan do at it. The weapon pierced the beast's head, killing it instantly. Lyserg's eyes went big from shock and then looked at Ren. "Wow, that was fast!" he praised. Hao hugged Lyserg and smiled. "Lyserg, why don't you and Ren go get some firewood so I can start a fire for us?" Hao asked. Lyserg nodded and slipped out of Hao's arms. He ran to Ren who handed the kwan do to Hao. Then the two boys went to go get some firewood...

8 YEARS LATER

Lyserg and Ren were training with each other again. Soon Hao called them to stop and get near the mouth of the cave. He told them to look at the sky. "It's time," Hao said. Lyserg and Ren gasped. "You mean- "It's coming?" Ren interrupted. Hao nodded. Lyserg sat on Hao's lap as he looked at the stars. Hao and he have been dating for about 2 years now. When Ren saw them kissing, he yelled "FINALLY! AFTER SO MANY YEARS OF STUPID FLIRTING AND IGNORANCE!". Anyways, they were staring at the stars, waiting for the comet. It was about ten minutes, and then a bright light zoomed through the sky. "Wow," Lyserg said. Hao smiled and hugged Lyserg. Ren's eyes were in amazement and he stared at the sky for a little longer.

"So how does the tournament work?" Lyserg asked. Hao smiled and kissed him on the cheek. "Don't worry, the people of Patch village will come and you'll have to use your oversoul and hit them once." Hao said. Lyserg and Ren snorted. That seemed too easy. "That's too easy. Those idiots that enter must face my wrath," Ren said. Lyserg laughed. "Even after 8 years Ren, you're still the same. By the way Hao, when will the others arrive?" Lyserg asked, meaning all of Hao's comrades. "Tomorrow," Hao said. Ren smirked. "I can't wait for it too start," he said...

CHAPTER 3 OVER

Me: Yay, the tournament will begin!

Yoh: But what about Manta and me?

Me: This is from their side, so butt out!
