Keiko and the rest screamed in horror when Shouyo fell to the ground and her eyes closed, blood flowing from her chest and back. "No! Yo-chan!" Keiko cried as she run to her.

"No! Keiko-sama! The X-Laws!" Anna yelled as she summoned the Oh Oni in big form, she too run after Keiko, then the others followed.

"You all working with her, you all siding with Hao." Marco said coldly and pointing his gun at Keiko, "You have to be punished too." Michael lifted it's sword, but then a burst of flame engulfed them all, teleported them into a wider area of the village, "Hao!" Marco roared when Hao stand there in front of Keiko and the others.

A beautiful girl with snow white hair walked to Shouyo's body, which hugged tightly by Keiko, "Keiko-san, please released your grip, it would cause mor harm to her." She said softly, "Hao, this is a fight between Shamans, I will take her to the hospital, but if she died, don't any of you Shamans dare to interfere, we, The Fuyu Clan will have our way of doing things." She said in calm voice but full of authority.

Faust lifted Shouyo's body from Keiko and the white girl grabbed his arm, "The Snow Of Fuyu, Follow The Order Of Mai." She said firmly, "Location is the hospital of The Patch. Names are Shouyo, Mai, Faust and their Spirits." The wind become cold and snow miraculously formed and swirling around them, "Teleport." The three of the disappeared from the big field of the north side of Patch Village.

Hao, Hanagumi, and Luchist formed their Oversouls, they are ready for fight, then Ren, Horo Horo, Ryu, Lyserg, and their new friend, Chocolove make their Oversouls and stand in a row beside Hao, "We will make you pay for hurting her." Ren said coldly, "Since she said that you are full of malice, there's no need for us to show mercy." His golden eyes glowed dangerously, "Do you know just how kind that girl? Bet you don't, you said she is siding with Evil, but she is more of an Angel than your Angels, X-Laws".

"Marco." Lyserg said gravely, "In the past, I once your member, but I had seen with my own eyes that your way of doing things are worse than Hao." He pointed his gun, "You gave me Zeruel to punish Hao, but the one to be punished by him will be you, as Yo-kun said, you win in unfair fight, we won't leave you alone".

"But her Mother said not to kill you." Hao said coldly, anger in his eyes, "She said she will deal with you if she died, so I won't kill you, but I will make you pay for hurting her." He gritted his teeth, "I wonder if I never killed your family, will you be any different?".

"I bet not." Anna said angrily, "Let's drain their furyoku and seal their movement, so that Shouyo's Mother will have a chance of win against them".

"She has every chance chance of winning even without you drain their furyoku." Luna said for the first time, "But it's for the better if you seal their movement, Mai's look when she is angry often make her opponent ran with their tail on their legs, so I suggest you to seal their movement and see how Shouyo is doing first." she take out a book, "Hao, you are the one with largest furyoku and an Onmyouji, read this spell to freeze their movement".

Hao received the book and do as she said, the X-Laws movement stopped and their Oversouls disappeared, "As I thought, magic is more stronger than Shamanic ability." He mumbled gloomily, "I will take us to the hospital." And a second later, they arrived at the hospital with a burst of fire.

Hao blinked when he saw Faust outside, "Hey, Faust, what are you doing outside?" Horo Horo asked nervously, "Don't tell me, Yo-chan is-" Faust shook his head.

"No, I'm told to stay outside while she do the job, and Hao, she want you inside as quick as you can." Faust said calmly, "Don't worry, Yo-kun will be alright".

Hao nodded and entered the room, as he closed the door, he noticed that the room is cold. He turned and saw Mai at the corner of the room with Shouyo in her lap, Shouyo is awake and stared at him tiredly, unfocusedly, "Hao, do you know the reason why I called you?" Mai asked, Hao shook his head without tearing his gaze from Shouyo's eyes, "I can't let Faust gave her blood transfusion, it will be bad for her, and I was forced to turned her a Full Vampire because she won't be able to be saved by normal measure." Hao walked closer and noticed that Shouyo emanating cold from her, "She need human blood when she turned into a Full Vampire, and you are the best candidate for this, I'm sorry".

Hao nodded, "Don't worry, I understand, but why is she cold?" he asked as he lifted her to his lap and embraced her lightly.

"Because she is one of Fuyu, and my affinity is Water, that's why she is cold." Mai answered calmly, "Now, please let her drink from you, you have to say it so that it won't against our rule, don't worry, you won't turned into a Vampire, you will only turned into a Vampire if she transfuse her blood to you when she bite you".

Hao nodded, Mai nodded back and leave the room to give them privacy, "Come on, Yo-chan, I give you permission to drink from me." He said softly as he brought her head to his neck, "It's okay." Shouyo gave him a small nod and bite him, it didn't hurt him, he pressed a shudder when he felt his blood sucked from his body and rub her back gently. He sighed in relief when her body started to warmer, he can't denied it anymore, he loved her. It's strange though, because he know that he is more to guy than girl, but he is a bi, so it doesn't matter to him.

After he felt Shouyo's temperature back to normal and he started to get dizzy, he pushed her gently, "I'm sorry, but no more." Hao said softly and looked at Shouyo's eyes, she looked tired and sleepy, but her wound already closed, "You need rest so just sleep, I will get you to your room." She nodded and closed her eyes, a second later, her breath deepened and her body relaxed.

"Wait, where am I? Did Mai make me go into some strange place again in the Dream world?" Shouyo asked herself when she arrived at a place surrounding by nothing, only white light.

'You are here because I want to speak with you, Asakura Yoh.'

Shouyo blinked and looked around, "Who are you?" she asked in confusion.

'I'm the Great Spirit, I have a request to you.'

"What request?"

'As you know yourself, you are an immortal now, and this is the first time a Shaman become immortal. I would like to have you as the observant of the world, the world need the Shaman King but Shaman King is human too, once they are dead, they can't become a Shaman King anymore, then all the thing they done gone to waste. Asakura Yoh, I would like to have you as a partner for Shaman King, I would like to have you as the Shaman King but unfortunately your furyoku isn't enough, so I want to to the the Shaman King's partner. Guide them and prevent them to fall into their dark side, and watch over the world to make sure what they do as they live won't go to waste.'

"But, It would mean I will have to lose them in the end, since they would die and I'm alive."

'Yes, for that I give you the power to enter the Spirit World while you are alive, you can go to the Spirit World if you wish and meet with those that would go before you. This will take time, but later you will have enough furyoku to be the Shaman King, and there's no need to fight anymore, you will be the last Shaman King later. Please help us and this world, Asakura Yoh, you have the power to do so.'

Shouyo smiled, "I see, you are planning to increase my furyoku by letting my Spirit enter the Spirit World when I want to, and when I have enough, I will become the Shaman King and can still meet with my friends and family even after they die, and this meaningless fight where there are too many people get killed each time will not needed anymore. But then my furyoku will keep increasing?" she looked confused again.

'It's bound to happen, but you can stop your furyoku from increasing when you become Shaman King, since Shaman King has great power in the level of God.'

"And with power come along responsibility." Shouyo answered calmly, "Okay, I will help as best as I can, I also need to take care of Fuyu Clan, so I guess once I become a Shaman King, I will have to get someone to help me as another Shaman King." She mused, "Well, it's okay I guess, Nantoka naru".

'Thank you.'

Then there's a bright light and Shouyo found herself in front of a small house in the middle of a field of grass and flower, in front of the house stand a beautiful woman with gentle eyes, "And, who are you?" Shouyo asked in confusion, "Where am I this time?".

"You are in Spirit World, one of the community inside Great Spirit, I'm Asanoha Douji, Asaha's Mother." The woman speak with equally beautiful voice and filled with love, "I have a request to you according your twin".
