Hi! This is my newest fanfic! It is a sequel to "Love Chronicle". I hope that you will be supporting this story like you did on my other one! After all, I'm writing this for you all!

Disclaimer: I do not own Shaman King's characters, but I do own my story and my original characters.

I've been inspiring from a song that I just heard… So… Here is my story!

Summary of Love Chronicle:

Elwynn Eleanor was the only person that Hao ever loved. However, due to certain circumstances, Hao thought that she betrayed him. Still, even till the end, he didn't know what truly happened. He just loved her so much that he forgave her times after times. Before that, Elwynn was torn between the fact of killing Hao or letting him live.

She was the High Priestess and had obligation of killing him. Having the power of predicting the future, Elwynn found out that Hao would release "That", an evil beyond compare. She tried to stop that and, at first, was successful. But then, she had been taken over by the Spirit of Time inside of her and died from it.

To revive Elwynn, Hao made a pact with "That". In a turning point of events, "That", instead of taking over Hao, gained control of Elwynn who did not totally let "That" controls her. At the end, she sealed "That" away with her and used the power of the Spirit of Time to give Hao a new life.

I'll go wherever you'll go

---Chapter I---

A new life

So lately, I've been wondering
Who will be there to take my place
When I'm gone, you'll need love
To light the shadows on your face

(Lyrics from the song "Wherever you will go" from "The Calling")

---------

It has been three years since Yoh becomes the Shaman King. Hao is the current High Priest. Often, people wonder why Hao is not the Shaman King. He is way stronger than Yoh is, and his furyoku is way more too. When people ask Hao that, he just laughs it off.

But why isn't he the Shaman King?

He doesn't know. There is something that pulls him from being the Shaman King, and he doesn't know what that is. However, he is happy that he is High Priest instead of Shaman King, especially when he sees Yoh working till death for the better of the world.

In those three years, nothing has changed. Anna is still as bossy as ever, and Yoh is even lazier than before. Only Anna and Yoh remain in Japan after the Shaman Fight. The rest of them have gone back to their hometown to improve their land. Ryu is not in Japan too. He has decided to travel to find his "best place".

To ease up the job of rebuilding a new world, all five elemental Spirits have been given to others: Horo Horo the Spirit of Water, Ryu the Spirit of Earth, Ren has the Spirit of Lighting, Chocolove the Spirit of Wind, and Hao the Spirit of fire. Of course, Yoh has the Great Spirit.

Now, with the help of all the Shamans, Shamans are well known throughout the world. No one calls them monster, weirdo, etc. The humans all respect them because they help to have the world better than it is before. Technology still continues to grow, but that no longer pollutes the nature.

"Still twenty more documents to read, and I will finish…" Yoh said with his half dead state.

"Good luck, I think that you can finish them in three hours or so." Hao said while reading a manga on the couch near Yoh.

"This is so not fair. You are always so relaxed, and I have to work so hard…"

"You? Working hard? This is new. And I am not so relaxed at all…"

"Why is 'stressing' you then?"

"Still the same."

"That ring and photo?"

"Yeah. Something tells me that they are something crucial to me."

"But you don't remember."

"Yeah."

"I have never seen them though, and I have always been with you, from birth till now."

"I know."

"And I wonder how did you get so strong when we have always trained together…"

"There are so many things that are not clear, and I have a sensation that they are all linked to those two things."

"The Great Spirit doesn't want to tell us."

"I know. It has been countless times that I ask it."

"Daijoubu. Let's treat it like the mystery of the world."

"Yeah."

"Yoh sama here is the rest of the documents that you have to finish today."

An eight years old kid came in with so many papers that cover his face.

"Why me!"

"Yoh sama, you still have Hao sama to help you, don't you? It should be fast…"

"Since when is he here when there is work."

Hao is long gone.

"Ha… With or without Hao sama, you still have to read them and approve them."

"Why don't you help me?"

"I am only an eight years old kid! I am too little to work… Hum… I got to go! See you!"

"Vince!"

Yoh has his crying face, and his tears fall like a waterfall.

"Alright… I'll help. But I won't if you don't work hard… Yoh sama?"

But Yoh is also gone.

"Why do I always fall for the same thing? This is so not fair. I am stuck with all those work again."

---------

"Hao!"

"What are you doing here? Don't you have a mountain pill of work to do?"

"Yeah… But I have giving them to Vince. He is now working on them."

"Still as lazy as ever."

"Hey! The only reason why I have become Shaman King is to have a relaxing life!"

"I thought that you want a world where people can slack of."

"Yeah… But Anna…"

"Here is the problem, 'Anna'. I told you to ditch her years ago."

"Yeah but… Anna is too scary."

"And…"

"And what?"

"Isn't there any other reason?"

"Well…"

"Still at the same level after three years? I thought that you would have at least improve on your relationship with Anna."

"Hehehe."

"Luckily, I am not in love. I am trouble free."

"Yeah, and that 'I will love you forevermore' girl?"

"She may not even exist. Besides, like you said, it's a mystery in the world. Anywyas, do you want some tips of how to improve your relationship with Anna?"

"Like you know everything."

"I do."

"Yeah right. Oh! Your fangirls are coming."

"Huh?"

Innumerable girls are running toward Hao and Yoh. Amazingly, both of them cannot escape their 'hot passion'.

"Hao ohji sama! I have knitted you a set of warm clothing! It has all star symbols just like you like them!"

"Thank you."

"Hao ohji sama… just… smiled….….at……………me…………………"

That girl faints.

"My Hao sama! I have baked you a little something to eat… I hope that you will love them!"

Her 'little' something is a mountain of sweets.

"I don't eat sweets."

"What?!? Hao sama… You are so cool! You don't care if you break my heart or not and say what you really think! Daisuke!"

Hao lets out a desperate sigh. Why won't they go away? If he is kind to them, they will all faint and fall for him even more. If he is mean, they will still love him more. What has he done to get this? And how come Yoh doesn't have this problem? Yoh, on the other side, is laughing to death. Oh yeah, like he will let his little brother continues to laugh like that.

"Spirit of Fire."

His Spirit comes out.

"Go away from me." Hao uses his smiling angry tone to say that.

"Oh my god! My Hao sama/ Hao ohji sama is threading us! That is sooooooooo COOL!!!"

"Hao, need some help?"

"No."

Hao turns in the opposite direction and murmured something.

"Yoh has been trapped with girls and is enjoying it."

Immediately, a shadowlike person runs to them. It is Anna.

"What did you just say?"

Her scary eyes look at the girls and scare them away.

"We will be back for you! Hao sama!!!!"

"Yoh! Are you not supposed to work while I enjoy my relaxation? And Hao, you have to prepare my hotel's opening tomorrow."

"I have something else to do tomorrow."

"What is more important than my hotel?"

"Something."

Hao disappears.

"Anna, tomorrow is the day when Hao finds the photo and the ring. And also the day when he stops completing with me for the Shaman King throne."

"You would have won."

"Hao is more powerful than I am."

"But you are the Shaman King now."

"He is still stronger."

"Oh yeah? Let's go back to your training then."

"Training? No! Hum… there… is… hum… Oh yeah! My documents! I have to finish them!"

"Vince is already doing them."

"But… I have to be with Hao… to… hum… support him…"

"He is always alone that day."

"I have…"

"No more excuses!"

"Yes…"

---------

Despite the fact that the Great Spirit is with Yoh, part of it is still at the sacred path of the stars.

"Great Spirit, I want to know what the thing that I lost is."

You will know when the time comes.

"When is that time?"

You will know when it comes.

"And if I want to seek it out myself?"

You won't be able to.

"Nothing is impossible for me."

This is.

"I don't believe it."

Very well, I will let you go somewhere where you may find the truth.

"Where is that?"

A different dimension and time where the 'thing' you seek is still there.

"How will I know when I see that 'thing'?"

You won't know, because it doesn't belong to you.

"… You are confusing me."

Will you go?

"I will."

Hi! I hope that Hao is not too TOO ooc. Well, it is because he has never been exposed to all the things that he has before. Here, he has been raised by his family and has a normal life. Therefore, he has a strong bond with Yoh and is not evil.

But I have realized that Hao is a bit lazy like Yoh. So, here it is, a lazy Hao, a NEW Hao!!!

Please support me!
