Summary: It all started when Anna picked up a magic book, turned Yoh into a baby for a week by accident, got pissed at him and kidnapped Hao. Insane, but still plausible. HaoYoh.

The Authoress would like to say that she is rather bored. And she thinks that Hao is so damn hot. And maybe, just maybe, she'll get a nosebleed just thinking about him.

From the above statement, she is so bored. Ohoho.

It all started when Anna picked up a magic book, turned Yoh into a baby for a week by accident, got pissed at him and kidnapped Hao. Insane, but still plausible.

...Maybe we should just start from the beginning.

Asakura Yoh was mindlessly lying on the floor, his eyes focused on...absolutely nothing. As usual.

They were having a celebration later for Manta, who would be going abroad for a year to study, and Yoh wanted to rest for a hour or so before it began.

Manta was out running a few errands (Anna didn't think that fifty-two tasks were much) and Anna was in her room. Ren and Horo Horo were out doing who knows what...or maybe they were just avoiding Anna.

Faust and Eliza were somewhere in the house, doing...some form of experiment on Yoh's recently deceased goldfish. He named it Orange, and it died 2 weeks into the holiday because Yoh forgot to feed it. He didn't know why he bought it; it must've been because it had been so boring since the Shaman Fight was suspended.

Yoh didn't really bother, as he closed his eyes and started to doze off, as the music blasted into his ears. "Ah."

The holidays were here, and Yoh had been spending the past weeks training, sleeping and doing chores around the house. Ren, Horo Horo, Chocolove, Ryu, Lyzerg and occasionally Hao would drop by to say hello, but usually for Hao he'd just help himself to all of Yoh's oranges, steal Anna's bra for kicks, get caught by Anna, get caught by Yoh and limp back to Izumo or something.

That bastard. He took Yoh's oranges.

Yoh flipped over to his side, and looked around the sparse, empty room. Aside from the small TV set (and it was then that Yoh wondered if being Shaman King would entitle him to a sum of money. They needed a better TV) and the table, it was just...plain.

He felt his large, onyx eyes close. Before he dozed off, he thought of two things.

Wonder what's with Anna these days. Wonder what's gonna happen to Orange's body?

Meh, who cares?

Asakura Hao looked blankly at the food Opacho had so lovingly prepared. Well, she was the only one who wanted to stay on with him in a random place in Japan. His other followers just...came in the day and left by night.

"Opacho, what is this?" Hao asked, pulling a face of disgust.

Opacho blinked at Hao, and then looked at her...creation. She scrunched up her little face for a moment, before she decided on her dish name, "It's porridge, Hao-sama."

"Porridge." The brunette eyed the greenish lump of watery goodness before him, and looked at Opacho with a half-hearted smile, "right, how could I not know that porridge was greeeeen?"

Opacho gave him a huge grin, completely oblivious to the insult Hao had thrown, "I'll make dessert!"

Hao sighed desolutely and waved dismissively, as the girl left the room. When she closed the door shut, Hao burned his own food, his nose twitching at the foul smell and his frown more pronounced as he watched the food twitch, disintegrate, and contort itself into a vile mess in the flames.

"Gross," Hao decided firmly, as he opened the window and tossed his charred procelain plate out into a street, laughing with a pinch of evil and glee as he watched a car screech into a halt, driving itself into a random pole. He observed the man get out of his car, and grinned as he recognized the pointy hair.

"Yo, Tao Ren!" the brunette yelled cheerily, waving at Ren, "how's your car?"

"YOU B-!"

Before Ren could finish insulting Hao, the latter had happily slammed his window shut, before erupting into peals of laughter.

Damn, was he bored.

Anna closed her book of punishments, and she exited the room, causing Yoh to jump in shock. "A-Anna!"

"Did the dishes?"

"Y-Yeah."

The blonde strode over to him, grabbed him by the collar, and glared coldly into his panicked eyes. "Did you?"

"Meep!" Yoh gulped in, as Anna glared even harder, "NO, I DIDN'T, OKAY?! STOP LOOKING AT MEEEEEE!"

"Good boy." Anna finished, as she triumphantly let him drop to the ground. Yoh picked himself up quickly and ran off into the kitchen to do some dishes. She sat down in front of the TV set and started flipping the channels monotonously.

Manta arrived soon after, and he set down all the groceries before greeting Anna, "Hey."

"Mm." Anna responded drearily, not looking up. Manta sighed, and he left his library book on the table, before proceeding to the kitchen.

Amidamaru randomly appeared to greet Mosuke, the latter who came in after Manta.

"Hey, Mosuke-san."

"Hey, Amidamaru," Mosuke responded back, and he...floated over to the table, and picked up Manta's book in excitement, "read this!"

Amidamaru raised his eyebrow at his best friend's sudden excitement, so he floated over to Mosuke's side. His eyes darted about, scanning the book silently. The two friends exchanged glances at the last page, and they both exhaled out, "Woaaaah..."

"You mean you can actually do this?" Amidamaru asked, grinning.

"Never tried..." Mosuke muttered, "but it'd be cool if we could turn people into babies..."

"Oooo. Can we ask Yoh to try it?" Amidamaru pondered for a moment, and he grinned evilly at Anna, who was supposedly watching TV.

Mosuke looked at Amidamaru curiously, and then at Anna, before grinning, "Ohoho, awesome, dude!"

"...Mosuke, where did you pick THAT up?"

"That what?"

"That...language!"

"Oh. Picked it from Ryu, man. Real swell."

Amidamaru gaped, "Omigosh, you're freaking 600 years old and counting, using THAT language?"

"...It's called being in the trend."

As the two bickered on, Anna took the opportunity to (eagerly but not showing it) pick up the magic book. She flipped through the pages, and smirked to herself.

Well, this was gonna be interesting.

Hao felt himself flinch involuntarily, not because of Opacho's dessert. Though...you couldn't really call the blue slob before him dessert.

"Hao-sama?" Opacho asked uncertainly, "what wrong?"

"Nothing. I just feel...that something bad is gonna happen to me later." Hao replied casually, and he smiled at Opacho eerily, so much so that she hurried herself to the kitchen to clean up.

He looked at the blue mess and burned it again.

"Yoh." Anna called out, and Yoh bolted out of the kitchen, saluting in front of Anna. She eyed him, before smiling, causing Yoh to back away slowly.

"...Yes?" Yoh managed, as Anna stood up from her position.

"Can I try something on you?" Anna asked, but usually what she said was a statement, of sorts. Yoh gulped and braced himself.

Crap.

"Reeeeenny!" Horo Horo drawled, as he poked Ren in the rib, causing the Chinese boy to jump, "when the HELL are we gonna reach?"

"Yayaya, Ren!" Chocolove snapped, as he peered in from the back seat, "when are we gonna reach, dude? We're gonna be late for Manta's farewell partay!"

"Don't call me dude!" Ren hollered angrily, as he bashed his car horn furiously. Bason appeared behing the back seat, his huge frame crushed and restrained in the small car, and the warrior spirit sighed as Ren continued, "It's that idiot Hao!"

"I think I heard myself getting insulted by Renny-chan." Hao mused to himself, and he giggled randomly.

"Opacho think Ren is baka." the girl chimed in, in her plain, incomplete English.

"Great minds think alike..." Hao muttered, a smile forming.

"Who in the right mind would throw a freaking burnt plate out of a window, dammit?!" Ren lamented, and Horo Horo made a mental note to himself not to sit next to Tao Ren when driving. Ever.

"My whole car's ruined! We're late for their dinner! Anna's g-!" Ren stopped in his sentence, and the name lingered in the air for a moment.

"ANNA!"

Manta sweatdropped as he looked at Anna, cradling a certain brunette baby.

"Anna, since when were you pregnant?" Manta choked out, before cracking up. Anna glared at him, and forcefully stroked the baby, causing him to scream and wail in response.

"This is Asakura Yoh. Manta, say hi." Anna stated, sticking out young Yoh for Manta to absorb in the information.

Yoh blinked at Manta, before gurgling and...spitting on Manta.

"AIYEEEEEEEH!" Manta screamed, as he swatted off all the saliva. Manta's sudden outburst caused Yoh to giggle madly, pointing his tubby finger at Manta, "MantamantaMANTA!"

Manta stumbled backwards, and Anna continued to cradle baby Yoh.

"How did Yoh get turned into a baby?!" the short boy blurted out, and he looked in horror as Anna stepped aside, revealing Amidamaru and Mosuke binded by her necklace. Then he looked in horror again as Anna waved his new magic book in his face.

"Mosuke-san!" Manta cried out.

"I feel paaaaaaain!" Mosuke cried back.

"Anna...!" Amidamaru let out, as the two spirits started to sob randomly. The sight of the two huge, supposedly menacing spirits crying made Yoh gurgle again, and the boy started giggling his head off.

"Manta, you're really going abroad, huh?" Anna mused, as she forced Yoh to drink down his milk (Anna soon realised that Ren had sparingly saved it for today, but she didn't care)

"Y-Yeah..."

"Oh. Then I'll need someone to do my chores while I take care of Yoh." the girl pointed out bluntly, and Manta sighed in relief, but then he cocked his head to a side.

"Who?"

"Well..." Anna thought of it for a moment, "Amidamaru can't do much, since he'll be watching over Yoh..."

She looked at Amidamaru, who was making funny faces for Yoh. The young baby looked at him, and attempted to pull Amidamaru's hair. Anna set Yoh down to play with the warrior.

"Pirika gives Horo Horo torture, Ren gets loving torture from Jun, Chocolove is an idiot and it'll give Yoh a bad influence, Ryu...is out of question; that idiot will bring my hot spring business down, Lyzerg's flight home is tomorrow, Tamao can't do it either because she's helping out at the Asakuras..."

Manta glanced at Anna for a moment, "So...?"

Anna looked at Yoh, and then she took a cursory look at the photograph of Yoh and Hao recently taken. Yoh was on Hao's back, a huge triumphant grin on his face as an upset Hao glares at the camera.

And she smiled.

Hao felt himself freeze again, which was quite an irony since he had the freaking Spirit of Fire next to him.

The Spirit of Fire looked at Hao uneasily.

"I...don't think we should be here in a random park at night. Okay, walk's over."

Okay, I'm stopping here to game!

My next update's on...Saturday or Sunday. Or the weekend after that. Yeah. By then. I have my exams next week!

Review. Or the next chapter will be a rant about how hot Hao is.
