Chapter II

Anna and Amidamaru had heard the cry, and as fast as their feet could carry them they had both ended up in Yoh's room. Anna was relieved that Hao was no where to be seen but was confused as to why Yoh would call out in such a desperate manner for his evil twin.

Breathing deeply the brown-eyed shaman did not notice the presence of his ghost companion and fiancé rush into the room. Once the two had composed themselves they rushed down by Yoh's side to make sure he was unharmed.

"Master Yoh! Are you all right? What happened? Is something wrong?" Amidamaru's barrage of questions seemed to awaken Yoh from his confused state.

"What? Amidamaru, Anna, what are you doing here?" Now noticing that he wasn't alone, Yoh's red-rimmed eyes scanned over the girl and ghost quickly before dropping down to his blanket-covered lap. If Anna was scared before, she had no idea what she would do now. She had thought a good week of hard training might be able to get Yoh on his feet again, now she wasn't so sure.

"Yoh, why did you call out for Hao?" It was spoken with as much calm as the young Itako could muster, and all she got out of it was a slight shrug of Yoh's shoulders.

"I don't know, I don't even remember. It must have been a bad dream is all, just a bad dream…." Shutting the blinds and shooing out the scared guardian Anna closed the bedroom door and lead Amidamaru into the kitchen.

"Mistress Anna, I don't think I like what I saw in there," nodding her head solemnly Anna looked at the samurai.

"Yeah, me neither. Perhaps we should call the other as soon as possible, it's all I can think of for now. I might need a second opinion from Jun as well, I don't know if he's just depressed or something else is wrong."

"You mean something spiritual?"

"Perhaps, Hao was Yoh's `other half, killing him might not have been the greatest thing for Yoh, although it's a farfetched idea." Shaking his head in dismay Amidamaru closed his eyes and thought deeply. "Maybe not, if I know anything about spirits, being one myself, you can't separate it, especially if you want it to survive properly." It was true, the more Anna thought about it the more it made sense. Yoh was far too calm and spacey for his own good. Hao was just the opposite, being calm yes, but most of the time driven by such an evil anger that him and his fire spirit were just like each other. Good and evil, one could not truly live without one another…

`Ren, I wish you were here, I need someone to catch me if I fall.'

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Horo Horo!" Called an out of breath Lyserg. "Come down here, I just received a call from Anna-kun!" That caught the snowboarders' attention, he hadn't seen his friends from the Shaman tournament for a while now and he was beginning to wonder what was up with them. Lyserg had moved in with him after many failed attempts to gain his attention and form a `steady' relationship with him, he had been quite happy living in Koro Pokkuru with his sister and his boyfriend and was now intrigued at what Anna wanted.

Running down the stairs in only his snowman print boxers, Horo Horo came to a sudden halt in front of his smiling boyfriend.

"Good afternoon sleepy head, did you have a nice twelve hour nap?" The green haired bishi smirked sacasically.

"Awww, come on Sergie you know I need my beauty sleep!" Rolling his eyes Lyserg pecked his lover on the cheek and motioned him into the living room.

"Well you're going to have all the time you want to use up that extra energy when we go to visit Yoh and Anna."

"What! Seriously!? Awesome!" Grabbing Horo Horo and sitting him down before he could wet himself with excitement the calmer of the two gave his boyfriend a no nonsense look. The blue haired boy looked at Lyserg curiously.

"Somethings not wrong is it? Is everything okay? Cause if its not…"

"Horo, don't worry, Anna wanted a get together of all of us for a week or two so we cold have some fun. Although she mentioned that Yoh is kind of depressed-," he was cut off by a blue blur jumping straight off the couch.

"Depressed!? Is he okay? What's wrong with him?"

"Calm down Horo, I was getting to that! Now Anna didn't really mention why but she said that all of us could possibly cheer him up. I'm worried about him personally, that's why we should leave as soon as possible." Putting his hand to his chin as in deep thought, Horo Horo nodded stiffly.

"I agree, if Yoh's not feeling one hundred percent you can be sure that we'll be there to give him one hundred and fifty!" That was the Horo Horo Lyserg knew. Soon Perika and them would go to visit Anna and make sure Yoh would come out of whatever hole he was in.

After Anna had contacted all of the others she peeked into Yoh's room to make sure he was asleep. He was, and she sighed with relief, it was about time. She only hoped that his dreams would be as peaceful as he looked right now.

Amidamaru wanted to stay with his master but Anna said that it would be better if he were alone now. He sure hoped she was right, Yoh was hurting and he couldn't do anything about it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~Dream Sequence~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wrapped in a beautiful silken white kimono that showed a moon lit pond where many cranes were either resting or taking flight, Yoh stood upon a beautiful white marble alter.

It was twilight; the colors of the setting sun illuminated the area in a kind of heavenly light. The brown haired shaman didn't know what to think of all of it. It felt so real, and he thought he could smell and feel the warm wind against his face.

He heard soft footsteps approach him, but he did not worry, he knew that the owner of the soft footfalls would not harm him. So looking down to the end of the marble stairway stood a man with long brunette hair and eyes, which matched his. Clad in a battle worn cape and his trademark pants and shoes Hao began to ascend the staircase with a small smile on his face.

Yohs heart begun to beat faster with each step, he wanted nothing more than to run into his brothers arms. But why? Why did he feel this way? Unconsciously he reached out a slim graceful hand towards the closing Hao, who in turn did the same.

They were so close now and Yoh could feel his spirit sigh as its other half connected softly with his. Hao entwined his fingers around Yohs and pulled the boy flush up against him, but gently enough for him to know his sincerity. Then whispered in his ear, `be one with me.'

And he wanted noting more.

`Be one with me.'

Eh a bit on the short side but at least I got it out! Man!

And questions? Comments? Let me know!
