"Hey, Anna has been very quiet since yesterday, don't you think?" Horo Horo whispered to Ren, who just snorted in response.

"She need to think whether she want to continue the engagement or break it." Manta whispered to him as he played with his laptop, "It's not an easy thing to do, so of course she would need time".

The door bell rang, "Open it." Anna said coldly as she looked at the TV, but her eyes were distant, still thinking about her feeling to Yoh.

"Yes." Manta said and went to open the door, his eyes widened at the sight of Yoh's family, "Welcome." He said and stepped aside to let them in. Keiko, Mikihisa, Yohmei, and Kino went to the Living Room while Manta went to the Kitchen and helped Ryu prepared some tea for them.

"Welcome, Kino-sensei, Yohmei-sama, Mikihisa-sama and Keiko-sama." Anna greeted them as she sat up and turned to face them, "Why do you come here?".

"Well, we want to ask if you had found Yoh." Keiko said softly, "It seems that Hao had protected his place, Tamao couldn't find them".

Anna sighed, "Well, I want to ask something first." She said seriously, "The reason why I'm engaged to Yoh, it's because you need a strong heir, right?" Yohmei nodded, "What would you say if I want to break our engagement?" She asked.

Yohmei blinked, "Why so sudden?" He asked curiously.

"The truth is I don't love Yoh like that, Yohmei-sama." Anna answered, "I love him more like my Brother than Fiance".

Keiko smiled, "Then you are free to cancel it." She said gently, "We won't force you, as long as you and Yoh come into agreement to cancel the engagement".

Anna nodded, "Then, if I say that Hao has changed, are you going to accept him back into the family?" She asked seriously again.

They looked at each other before Keiko nodded, "As long as he wouldn't kill anyone anymore, I don't think we have a problem with it." She said with a smile, "I am even very happy that I can have another Son." She said happily.

Anna nodded again, "What if . . . they are not humans?" She asked cautiously, "Are you going to keep treat them as your family?".

"Not humans?" Mikihisa asked in confusion.

Anna sighed and then went to tell them what they had heard from Yoh, Hao, and Matamune. When Anna finished, the Asakuras were all looking at her with wide eyes filled with shock and disbelief. "Are you serious, Anna?" Yohmei asked in utter shock.

Anna nodded, "Yes, I didn't feel any lie from what they told me." She answered seriously, "Yoh and Hao had also showed us their Ninetails form, so I'm sure they were telling the truth".

"This is not an easy matter to decide." Kino said slowly, "If it's true that the story that had been passed down from generation to generation was a false one, then I need to meet them myself".

Yohmei nodded, "We need to see for ourselves." He said with a sigh, "Because, really, for something like this, we couldn't really believe it unless we see it with our own eyes".

Keiko then clapped her hands cheerfully, "Well, why don't we go to the forest and meet them?" She asked in care free way, pretty much like Yoh, "I really miss Yoh, and if Hao really wouldn't kill anymore, I want to get to know him, so we can be like Mother and Son".

Yohmei and the rest agreed, so Anna lead them along with the others to the forest where Yoh, Hao and Hao's followers stayed. "So, they lived in this forest?" Keiko asked curiously as she looked around, "The air here is so nice".

"Yes, somehow the air here is cleaner than in Izumo, even though it's in the city." Mikihisa agreed as he looked up at the tall trees.

"I guess it's because Yoh's and Hao's presence in here." Kino commented with a smile, "I can feel it, the presence of two Mystical beings filled with the Energy from Nature herself, they really are Ninetails".

"Yeah, I agreed." Yohmei said as he looked ahead of him, "It's true then, they are Ninetails".

They arrived in the house where Yoh and Hao stayed with the rest, and were immediately welcomed by the sight of Hao charging at Yoh, in their Ninetails form. "What?!" They all gasped in shock and took a step back in case they got caught up in the middle of the chaos.

Hao growled and pinned Yoh to the ground, Hao pulled his hand back and moved to stab his clawed hand into Yoh's neck, "Don't think so." Yoh growled with a smirk and threw Hao away from him, he jumped up and, while he was diving at Hao, held out his hands in front of him in Hao's direction with the end of his tails lit up with White fire, "Wind Blast!" Hao leaped out of the way in time before a swirling wind shot out from Yoh's hand into the spot Hao was on previously, destroying the ground in the process.

"Damn it!" Hao yelled as he flew up into the air and turned around to face Yoh, the end of his tails lit up with Black fire, "Flame Wall!" A huge obon fire shot up from beneath Yoh's feet and up into the sky.

"Yoh?!" Ren and Horo Horo yelled in panic as Horo Horo formed his Oversoul.

"Don't interfere!" Luchist yelled at them, "They are having a Duel now!".

"But Yoh could die!" Horo Horo yelled back at him.

"Don't worry!" Macchi yelled at him, "They were far more aggressive last week!".

"Icycle!" Yoh yelled from his spot, which was still light ablaze by Hao's fire.

Many big spiked pillars appeared in the air and shot out at Hao, who flew away from the Ice spikes and then changed into a big Fox with nine tails. A roar erupted from Hao's Fox form as his tails lit up with Black fire at the tips again, Yoh jumped to the side in time before many spiked stones shot out from the ground where he stood before, he immediately changed into Fox form as well and charged at Hao. They collided and crashed into the ground, they were rolling from one side to the other, too fast to be followed with eyes and all they could see only a mass of fur moving about.

Their eyes widened when the rolling stopped and the Black Fox came out on the top and was pinning the White Fox, the Black Fox growled and enclosed it's jaw around the White Fox's neck, a whine could be heard from the White Fox as it's whole body slumped over in defeat. The Black Fox pulled away and reverted back into human form, Yoh could be seen jumped up and down before running around yelling that he won.

The White Fox reverted back into human form and Hao scowled with a crossed arms, he glared at his followers, "Who gave him the freaking Coffee?!" He yelled at them.

"We didn't." Kanna answered with a shake of her head, "Yoh-sama stole your Coffee when you looked away earlier".

Hao face palmed, "God Damn It!" He yelled in frustration, "I knew I shouldn't drink near Yoh." He sighed as he walked over to their place, "Now I have to deal with a hyper Brother".

Mary chuckled, "Yoh-sama was dealing with you when you were Sugar High last week, so I think it's fair if you deal with him while he is in Coffee High." She said with a smile, she had become more cheerful in the past month.

Hao pouted, "But now I have to do the Punishment." He said sulkily.

"Um, what happened actually?" Keiko asked since she was totally in lost there.

Yoh stopped running and turned to look at her, "Mom!" He squealed and ran to her, but then stopped so suddenly and his whole body tensed.

Hao were also tensed, he looked at his followers, 'Be prepared for any sudden attack!' He told them telepathically, 'X-Laws here!'.

They gasped and get their weapons ready before began looking around, Yoh's friends and family frowned at the sudden heavy tension in the air and looked around as well. Out of a sudden, a huge sword come from behind Hao and was heading to him, "Asaha!" Yoh yelled in warning.

Hao moved aside in time to avoid the attack and swirled around, the rest were also looking at the same direction. Jeanne, Marco, and Lyserg were walking to them with a scowl on their face, "Lyserg." Yoh called out with a growl.

"You really are siding with him, huh?" Lyserg asked coldly as he pointed his gun at Yoh, "I won't forgive you." He said coldly and pulled the trigger.

"That's my words, you traitor!" Yoh snarled and charged at them, changing into his Ninetails form right away, "You and X-Laws are the same, Hypocrites!".

Lyserg gasped, "Monster!" He yelled then yelped when one of Yoh's really long tails wrapped around him tightly, Marco and Jeanne found themselves in the same situation, before Yoh threw them into the tree, the impact was enough to make them losing their consciousness and their Oversouls disappeared.

Yoh huffed as he walked over to their unconscious form, "Really." He stood towering their unconscious form with his hands on his hips, "I hate traitors".

All of them, aside from Hao, were all gaping at Yoh, "Well, I know one thing now." Anna said with blinking eyes, "Yoh could get really violent if he is angry, no wonder he refrain himself from feeling angry so much in the past".

"Indeed." Ren agreed before looking at Yoh when the end of Yoh's tails were lit up with White fire, "What are you going to do with them, Yoh?".

"Erase their memory about Hao and me in this form." Yoh answered as he raised his hand to the side and his eyes glowed with White light, "With the Energy the Mother Nature granted upon me, I hereby take your memories away from you, with our best interest as heart." He said softly yet firmly, "The memory of the one you know as Asakura Hao will be taken from you, and the memory of the hatred reside within your heart. Memory Sweep!" Just like when Hao summoned Matamune, his voice echoed when he said the last line.

White light engulfed the three figures before disappeared, Yoh looked at Hao and nodded, Hao nodded back and walked forward, changing into his Ninetails form as he did so. "What kind of Memory you want me to plant in them?" Hao asked calmly, the Black part at the tips of his tail turned into Black fire, a sign that he was ready to use his Magic.

"Read their memories about what they did before entering the Shaman Fight and make it that they continued to do so and enjoying their lives." Yoh answered as he took the three Oracle Bells from them and destroyed them to pieces by crushing them using his tails, "Plant suggestion in them that they should resign from Shaman Fight and continued their live by pursuing their other dream and stay away from us".

"Alright." Hao answered and his eyes glowed with Black light, "With the Energy the Mother Nature granted upon me, I hereby present you with a new Memory . . . You will live with this Memory in you and continue your live by pursuing your dream, resign from Shaman Fight and stay away from Asakura family. Mind Manipulation!" Black light engulfed the three Shamans this time before disappearing slowly, he then snapped his finger and they disappeared with a burst of flame.

"Where did you send them?" Yoh asked curiously.

"French, in front of Jeanne's house." Hao answered with a smile.

"Yoh, mind to explain to us what did you do to them?" Anna asked seriously.

"Well, as I said, I erase their memory about 'Asakura Hao' and the hatred in their heart." Yoh answered calmly as he walked back to the rest with Hao beside him, "Asaha then placed a new memory in their mind and planted suggestion as well".

"You can do that?" Horo Horo asked in shock.

Yoh nad Hao nodded at the same time, "Ninetails is considered a Deity." Hao explained to them, "We have the Power similar to the God, but we could only do it in small scale and not large scale like the God".

"Deity . . ." Manta mumbled in disbelief while the other could only stare for they were shocked as well, who knows that they had befriends Deities without knowing?

"Well, now that the problem passed . . ." Hanagumi said together while looking at Hao with a scary glint in their eyes, Hao gulped and shivered at what the Hanagumi would do to him.

XXXXX

Yoh was laughing so hard and Hao's followers were grinning widely while taking photos of the blushing Hao, while Yoh's friends and family were all could only stare at what had occurred in front of them. Asakura Hao, the once the most feared Shaman in existence, the once deadly Shaman who wanted to destroy the world of humans, was now in a set of Sailor Uniform with his hair being styled in high ponytail.

"What . . . in the world happened here?" Keiko asked in confusion.

"Well, when we were fighting earlier, it was the weekly duel we did every week." Yoh explained to them with a big grin on his face, "The Winner will get to decide what kind of Movie to watch the next day, while the Loser have to do the Punishment that Opacho, Hanagumi, Luchist, Zhang Ching, and Peyote decided".

"And today we decided to have the Loser wearing Sailor Uniform and get his pictures taken!" Macchi announced cheerfully, "Hao-sama! Do some pose!".

Yoh chuckled and shook his head in amusement before Anna clearing her throat, "Yoh." She called out seriously.

Yoh looked at her and smiled, "What is it, Anna?" He asked calmly.

"I have decided." She stated seriously, "After I reflected about my feeling to you, I do love you, but as my Brother." Anna looked at Yoh straight at the eyes, "I cancel the engagement".

"Ah, I see." Yoh nodded his head in understanding, "I love you as my Sister too, Anna." He smiled warmly at her.

"Then, does that mean Yoh-sama available?" Macchi asked suddenly.

"Yes?" Yoh told her uncertainly.

Macchi grinned and hugged Yoh's hand, "Then I will take Yoh-sama for myself!" She announced boldly, earning a gasp from everyone, including Yoh and Hao.

"Macchi~" Hao growled with a dark aura coming from him.

Macchi waved her hand, "Oh, don't worry!" She exclaimed cheerfully, "I won't monopolize Yoh-sama".

Yoh sweat dropped, "Macchi." He said before sighing, "So forward . . ." A small smile forming by his lips, "But I think we need to get to know each other first, if you are serious in getting together with me".

Macchi released Yoh's hand and grinned, "Of course!" She said cheerfully.

"Oh God, I have a headache." Hao said with a heavy sigh.

Mary took Hao's hand, "Are you alright, Hao-sama?" She asked in worry.

Hao looked at her and smiled, "I'm alright." He said softly and squeezing her hand gently.

"Hao." Keiko said, making him to look at her, "We heard everything from Anna, that you won't kill anymore, and we have witnessed it with our own eyes." She smiled, "How do you think about the idea that we become a family?".

Hao blinked a few times before smiling, "Of course I love it." He said with a warm smile.

"Asaha." Yoh called out with a teasing tone, Hao raised an eyebrow at him, "You look strange you know? Holding your girlfriend's hand like that while wearing a Sailor Uniform." He said with a big grin.

Hao blushed, "Shut up!" He yelled in embarrassment.

Keiko chuckled, "But you look beautiful like that, Hao." She said teasingly, "Remind me of myself when I was around your age . . . " Her eyes were lighted up with mirth.

They all burst out laughing at that, Hao blushed even more until he could make a tomato jealous, but smiling softly as well.

It was a strange way to start a new family live, but since they were all happy, they didn't complaint about it at all. Hao and Yoh didn't have any plan in participating in Shaman Fight, when it's time for the Fight to start again, they were content with their live and they didn't want to change it at all.

Ninetails have a really long life, they could become Immortal if they want, but they could decided when to die as well. So, both Hao and Yoh knew that they would lose their human family sooner or later, but they will always with their family and friends, becoming the Deity who would always protect them from harm and always there for them when they need help, and they would keep doing so until they got tired of life and decided to rest forever.
