Reincarnation-5-Under the Lone Pine Tree
"Snowed in!"They all cried, yuki removed herself from the doorway. Snow blocked the doorway, and a little snow fell from the huge barracade.
"I don't mind the snow,but this is too much!" cried Horohoro,
"You said it!" cried Hao,
"I'll never see Yoh or Manta again!" Hao paniced,
"It's not that bad Hao-dude." Horohoro said slapping Hao on the back, Hao grinned half-heartedly. Yoh always said, it would always work out. And his younger brother was right.
"Wonderful."Ren simply said sarcastically,
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'll explain everything to your teacher when we get back!" cried Yuki,
"It's okay Yuki,we got ourselves in this." Hao said grinning.
"You mean Horohoro got us into this." Ren said flatly,
"Ren-dude!"
"This isn't helping!" yelled Pirika,
"We need to think of an idea to blow all this snow away." said Yuki,
"The snow's to heavy for Kousetsu to blow away." Hao said letting Kousetsu perch on his arm.
"Nii-chan. Why not use Kororo." suggested Pirika,
"Stupid girl, what will that do?!" yelled Ren,
"I don't see you coming up with any ideas! Let me finish talking!" yelled Pirika.
Ren looked at her shocked,yet disguished that his lips would not obey him,when talking back to her.
"Horohoro freeze all the snow in the doorway, while Mr.Loud-mouth, use that spear thing of yours to shatter the ice."
"That's Kwan Dao!" Ren added,
"And it will make a pathway! My little sister is so smart!" Horohoro said hugging her, she smiled.
"At least I thought of something." she said eyeing Ren. Ren looked away,grunting, Hao just smiled.
"Kororo! Into the snowboard!"
Kororo did as her master commanded and went into the snowboard.Launching an icy breeze at the snow, turning it into ice.
"Bason!" With one swing Ren/Bason sharttered the ice, Horohoro created with Kororo,
"I'm coming Yoh!" Hao thought.
"It would be so much fun,to play in the snow, if we weren't looking for Hao!" said Yoh looking out the window, his hands and face pressed against the window,withdrawing to rub the foggy window with his sleeve.
"Soon we can go look for him, Yoh." said Manta patting Yoh on the shoulder.
"It'll all work out!" Yoh grinned,
"T-t-t-that's the spirit master Yoh!" Tamao squeeked, hopeing Yoh would hear.
"Thanks Tamao-chan!" Yoh beamed,
"Remember be safe now,children." Takeyama-sensei said, "And I hope you wipe-out Asakura." he said under his breath as he passed Yoh,
"That wasn't very nice!" said Manta,
"Oh well." Yoh said. It wasn't that important, what was important was finding Hao.
Yoh,Manta,Anna,and Tamao left the ski lodge and looked around the bottom of the hill, where Yoh last saw Ren and Hao.
"What do you remember Yoh?" asked Manta,
"Yes Yoh,what?" Anna said giving that if I-find-you-I'm-gonna-kill-you look, Yoh giggled nervously,
"Please don't let Anna find Hao." Yoh prayed,
"Yoh!Where did you last see those idiots!" yelled Anna,
"Um,right here." he said "I remember wiping out, then watched Hao catch up to Ren,then he started following a boy with spiky blue hair.Then Hao did these cool flips then,him,Ren, and that boy started talking then he pointed to something then they walked away."
"What was he pointing at?" asked Manta,
Yoh walked exactly to where Horohoro was standing and pointed in the same direction. Yoh pointed to a sign above a cliff that read: 危ない(danger)
"Why,would,they,go,up,there?!"Yoh and Manta breathed.
"They wouldn't would they?! Yoh! Has Hao been acting strange?"
"No,why Manta?" asked Yoh,confused.
"Oh thank goodness!"
"Manta, Hao's too stupid to know the meaning of that word." said Anna,
"What word?" asked Yoh,
''True."
"What word?"
"I bet Yoh doesn't even know." said Anna,
"What word?" cried Yoh for the thrid time,
"Suicide,you stupid!"yelled Anna,
"What's that word mean?''asked Yoh,
"Told you." Anna stated.
"Let's go up there!There might be some clue!" said Manta,
"I hope that clue,isn't there spirits or broken bodies..."Anna trailed off,
"A-anna-sama please don't say that infront of master Yoh." Tamao said shyly,
"Yoh's half-way up,how is that saying it 'infront'of him?"
At the top of the cliff, there was no sign of the three being up there.The snow had already covered their tracks.And their own.
"Look over there."Tamao said pointing to some smoke.
"A fire?"questioned Yoh,
"Maybe, or a house?Maybe Hao's down there?"
"I hope so Manta!Let's go check it out!"
"All the way down there,pretty far." Manta said looking down,
"Anna."
"I'm on it."Anna said summoning a bird like spirit.She summonded a blazing phoeniz spirit.
"Speical Itako-style intergation!"Anna said throwing the spirit flame phoenix at Yoh, with her prayer beads.
Instantly,Yoh grew wings of flames,"i'll see you back with Hao and Ren." said Yoh,
"Will you be okay?"asked Manta,
"Whatever spirit Anna summonds is a good spirit, I'll be fine." said Yoh smiling, then he jumped,"Let's go Kazan!" And Yoh's firey wings began flapping to the bottom,of the forest below.
Yoh landed with a thud on the forest floor,buried in snow,"Where's a St.Benard when you need one?"Yoh laughed, flapping his wings making the snow melt all around him,the snow behind him colaspped along with the snow infornt of him. The snow piled up to Yoh's knees."We have a lot of work to do Kazan." Yoh said flapping his wings.Causing warm air to melt the snow.
"Why did all that snow,suddenly fall down?"asked Pirika,
"I wonder too."said Yuki,
"It must be a sign that something's out to get you,for doing this to us Horohoro." Ren said 'yanking on Horohoro's chain'.
"What!I'm sorry Mr.Whatever-you-are!Please don't eat me!" Horohoro cried,
"Don't be so stupid Horohoro,he was just teasing you."Pirika said, eyeing Ren. Ren just snikkered.
"At least we came a long way." said Hao looking back.
"At least we came a long way." Yoh said looking back.
"Yoh came into a clearing,there in the clearing, was a lone pine tree.Yoh sighed,"Just like that time..."his voice trailed off.
"Yoh!Yoh!" Yoh looked up,he heard his older brother's voice, in the pouring rain.
"Nii-chan!"he cried out,wiping the tears away.
The day started out with the two twins playing outside,going to far into the Izumo forest,suddenly Yoh got sepreated from Hao. It soon started to rain,Yoh took shelter under a lone pine tree,in a clearing.
"Yoh! I found you!" Hao cried when he hugged his little brother, "Nii-chan!I was so scared!" Yoh sobbed, crying on his brother's shoulder.
"Nii-chan,I promise,I promist never to cry again if we lose each other, I want to be brave like you."
"Yoh, I was scared too." Cluching his other half tighter.
"Nii-chan." Yoh whispered,
"Yoh promise to never call me 'Nii-chan' again."
"Why?"
"Because,Yoh, Just because." Hao said sadly,
"Okay...Hao."
Yoh blinked away a few tears. "I promised Nii-chan." Yoh whispered, "But I'm sorry I broke one of my promises." he said looking sadly at the tree.
Yoh made a pathway to the tree, and sat under it. It was covered from top to bottom with snow. Yoh sighed, "Just like that day, Nii-chan." he said wiping tears away.
Up ahead was a large pine tree, all alone,Hao staired at it,with a bitter-sweet smile, he recalled what happened to him and Yoh, two years ago.
"I wasn't brave Yoh,not at all little brother, I cried and cried. But I didn't want you to know. You always looked up to me,and thought I was brave."
"Hao-dude?"
Hao,whom had been stairing at the snow-covered ground looked up, "Are you okay?"asked Horohoro concerned, everyone looked concerned,even Ren.
"What's wrong everyone?" Hao asked,
"Why are you crying?" asked Pirika,
Kororo sat on Horohoro's shoulder,crying along with Hao. Hao touched his cheek, it was wet,with warm tears."Why am I crying?" he whispered to himself, he wiped the tears away, and smiled.
"I'm sorry everyone, I don't know what happened. Let's keep going." Everyone nodded,but ocassionally,someone looked back at Hao. The lonely pine tree came closer and closer, Hao wished,and hoped that just maybe,maybe Yoh would be there.
Finally the last of the ice was broken,and they stood face to face.
"Nii-chan!"
"Huh?Yoh!" Hao said when his little brother hugged him,
"I missed you, where were you?" asked Yoh, letting go. Hao blinked a few tears back,
"We got snowed in at Yuki's house." Hao said pointing at Yuki,
"My name's Kyufuyu Yuki." she said bowing,
"I'am Asakura Yoh." Yoh bowed,
"Hey Yoh. I'm Usui Horokeu, just call me Horohoro' kay?"
"Sure thing Horohoro!" Yoh grinned,
"I'm Horohoro's little sister, Pirika.: Yoh waved,
"Asakura." Ren said looking at Yoh,
"Yes?" both Hao and Yoh said,
"Not you,dolt, Yoh."Ren faced Yoh, "Where did the wings come from?"
Yoh scratched his head, Yoh removed the spirit flame from his body. The phoenix perched on his shoulder,"This is Kazan,Anna summond him."
"Weird, I have an ice spirit named Kousetsu." Hao said having Kousetsu perch on his shoulder.
"The path is clear let's go." Ren said ten meters away."When did you get there Ren-dude!" Horohoro exclamed.
Everyone hurried to catch up with Ren,only the Asakura twins stayed behind, since both the pathes met they didn't need to worry. They sat under the tree. "Yoh."
"Yes?"
"You broke your promise stupid, you called me 'Nii-chan' and ment it." Hao said a smile tugged at his lips.
"I'm sorry."
"It's okay, I'm glad you did."
"Eh?"
"Never mind Yoh. Let's catch up with them!"
"Yeah!" And so the two dashed after the others,leaving behind the lone pine tree and a few broken promises and memories. While the lone pine tree, seemed less lonely.
"Near the end of the day, Yoh and the others came home safely. I'm so relieved. Yuki explained to Takeyama-sensei, he seemed a bit grumpy hey came back,but I'm glad Hao's back,along with meeting Horohoro and Pirika. That weird spirit of Horohoro's keeps stairing at me..." -Manta
