Mini Episode

“Parting Ways and Finding Ways”

Hao swiftly slid open the door to his closet and quickly pulled out the coat hanger that adorned his black bomber jacket. As he hastily went to close the door, something in the footwell caught his eye. He momentarily paused as he peered down at the packed duffle bag he seemed to vaguely recognise. He calmly hooked the hanger in his hand to the handle of his closet door and reached down and picked up the bag. He observed it curiously for a moment before taking several steps towards his dresser, laying the bag down carefully upon it. He paused briefly before unzipping it and peering inside.

Hao’s expression softened when he laid eyes on its contents. Tucked safely away neatly at the top sat a bright orange oracle pager. As he carefully took the pager out, he discovered another yellow identical device underneath. He gently placed the orange pager down on the surface of his dresser and intensely examined the yellow device. But, as he expected, pushing the buttons did not bring the device to life - and instead he observed his own partial reflection in the blank screen.

Placing his own device down on the dresser beside his younger brother’s, Hao reached inside the bag and pulled out a tightly folded garment. He laughed softly when he recognised the bright orange garish flamboyant floral pattern. He then peered back inside the bag and discovered yet another identical shirt looking back at him underneath.

“Hao?” came an innocent voice from his open bedroom door.

Hao turned around and smiled kindly at the girl nervously hiding slightly around the door frame.

“Hey,” he greeted gently. “Are you alright?”

“Yes.” came the shy reply, “Well - no. No wait - yes.” babbled the timid shaman, screwing her eyes tightly closed. “No?”

“It’s okay.” said Hao with a slight amused smile. “Do you want to talk about it?”

Tamao vigorously nodded her head at him in response, though she remained frozen by the doorframe and didn’t move, keeping her eyes tightly closed.

Hao calmly approached the door, then he stopped - smiling to himself as he got an idea.

“How about this…?” he said quietly as he reached for the door handle and partially slid it across so it was almost closed, creating a wall between them. “Is that better?”

“Yes.” squeaked Tamao.

“What’s wrong?”

“You’re going away again.” came the quiet reply.

“Yes.” replied Hao, “We have to go. He needs our help.”

“What if something happens to you?”

Hao paused for a moment, then he sighed deeply.

“We’ll be fine. Yoh and I can handle anything.” confidently replied Hao with a soft smile. Hao waited for a moment, but the shy girl on the other side of the door remained silent. “Is there something else - worrying you? Do you… not feel safe here anymore?”

“It’s not that.” whispered the shy shaman.

Hao remained silent for a moment. Then he sighed once more.

“I’m sorry that I’m leaving Opacho in your care again. That is not very considerate of me.” said Hao, sadly - there was a slight hint of guilt in voice.

“It’s okay!” came the reassuring high pitched reply.

Hao smiled for a moment, but then his expression fell as his mind fell back on earlier events.

“After what happened today, I can’t help but feel like I let you both down. And, now I’m going away again… I can understand why you feel burdened by me leaving…”

Hao blinked in surprise as he suddenly met Tamao’s glistening eyes as she swiftly swung open the door.

“You didn’t let us down! It wasn’t your fault!” she squeaked loudly as he she locked her eyes on the fire shaman’s startled expression. Tamao froze as she watched Hao’s eyes soften and a kind radiant smile appeared on his face.

“Thank you.” he said gently and reassuringly. “Your kindness really means a lot to me, Tamao.”

Tamao could feel her face becoming warmer as she found herself lost in Hao’s kind eyes. The pair remained silent and still in the doorway for a short while.

“Is that… all that was on your mind?” gently asked Hao, eventually.

Tamao looked down at the floor, unable to hold Hao’s intense gaze any longer.

“I…” she began shakily, she took in a sharp inhale and breathed out the words, “I will miss you.”

A silence grew. Tamao remained cemented to the spot, unable to bring herself to look at Hao’s face.

“I will miss you too.” came the gentle reply.

When Tamao didn’t move or respond and she just seemed to turn a brighter shade of pink, Hao looked back inside his room and then back at the girl standing at his door.

“I’m going to continue getting ready to leave for China.” explained Hao, “Would you… like to come in? I can keep the door open?”

There was a short pause, but then after a moment, the timid one standing in the doorway hurriedly made her way inside the room. Hao sighed pleasantly, then he turned around and made his way back to his closet and picked up his jacket that was hanging on the door.

“Is that…?” muttered Tamao, looking at Hao’s dresser as something caught her eye.

Hao followed her gaze until he laid eyes on the pagers once again.

“Ah, yes. I just found them. I guess I must’ve forgotten where I put them.” he said as he pulled on his jacket over his white t shirt. He then approached the bag once again to put the devices away, but then something else inside the open bag caught his eye. “Oh.”

“What?” breathed Tamao as she observed Hao’s expression change to one of slight astonishment.

Hao lifted his head and smiled warmly at Tamao.

“Would you mind delivering something to the room next door?” chuckled Hao.

****

Yoh quickly opened his door moments after hearing a gentle knock and was surprised to see Tamao standing in front of his bedroom holding something towards him in her hands.

“From Hao.” she squeaked as she handed over the black folded material and then hurriedly made her way down the hallway to her own room.

As the interaction he just had with Tamao was over within a matter of seconds, Yoh blinked in surprise at the garment he was holding. He slid his bedroom door closed and then turned around and quickly unfolded it.

Yoh let out a gentle laugh when he instantly recognised the black tracksuit with orange detailing. Then, he heard another knock at his door.

As Yoh slid his door back open, he was surprised to see his twin wearing a recognisable black and yellow sleeveless tracksuit. A moment later he noticed the yellow oracle pager strapped to his brother’s left forearm, and in his hand he was holding a matching orange device.

“Nii-chan?” laughed Yoh. “What are you…?”

“We need to talk about that idea we had.” laughed Hao. “But this time, we are sticking with my plan. I won’t be seen dead in that god awful shirt again!”

Mini Episode - “A Real Family”

“You’re going back to Izumo? Wh - When?” quietly asked Tamao, her voice barely louder than a whisper.

“Tomorrow,” replied Hao, taking off his jacket and hanging it on the coat rack in the corner of the room. He then approached the kitchen counter and leaned against it, crossing his arms and locking his eyes on Tamao and smiling warmly at her.

“Oh.” muttered Tamao.

“It should only be for one, maybe two days.” gently went on Hao. “Opacho has just got settled here, and she really seems to like spending time with you. You are so good with her. Would it be okay if she stayed here, with you?”

Tamao froze for a moment, she could feel her face getting warmer as Hao complimented her.

“As… as long as she’s okay with it, then, of course. She’s no trouble at all!” hurriedly said Tamao, she looked away from Hao briefly as she spoke.

“Thank you.” sighed Hao, relieved. “That is extremely kind of you, Tamao.”

There was a pause as Tamao’s face turned a bright pink once again. She took in a deep breath as she tried to steady her nerves to ask the questions that were on her mind.

“Wh - why are you going back? Is Yoh going too?” she asked, hastily.

“Yes.” nodded Hao. “He should have come with me last time, it probably would have saved us a second journey.”

Tamao blinked at Hao’s words but remained silent. She decided not to point out the fact that Hao had not answered her first question.

There was another short pause before Hao stood up straight and sighed.

“It’s late, and, we’ll be heading out early so… I probably should … ” quietly said Hao before making his way to the doorway to head to his room. He then stopped for a moment, before turning back towards her.

“Maybe when I get back, we could do something fun together, take Opacho somewhere. It would be nice for her to experience some kind of normality. You know, the sort of thing a real family does.” Hao then closed his eyes and beamed a radiant kind smile at Tamao, before turning and walking calmly out of the room.

As Hao left, Tamao stepped backwards until she felt the kitchen counter on her lower back, like she was steadying herself. She inhaled sharply, and attempted to calm her racing heart as a delighted smile began to spread across her face.

Episode Ten (4)

“Are you still pining after him? Again?”

“Aw. Our little Tamao has a cute little crush.”

“How many days have they been gone now? Three? Four?”

“Six. And shut up! I’m trying to concentrate!” angrily snapped Tamao, her voice was raspy and cracked a little as she tried to reach a serious octave unsuccessfully.

“Oooh. Touchy.” teased the tanuki spirit.

“Getting a little “fired” up, are we?” chuckled the kitsune ghost.

“Must be serious!” laughed Ponchi, kicking his legs in front of him excitedly.

“Shut up! Shut up shut up shut up!” angrily yelled Tamao - shooting a cold glare at the two childish spirits. Ponchi and Conchi blinked, surprised to see such a serious look on their shaman’s delicate face.

Tamao puffed out her cheeks in frustration before she quickly looked back down at her Kokkuri board on the floor infront of her.

“If you must know,” she sighed with a hint of agitation, “Opacho is upset. She can feel something’s wrong. I’m doing this for her. And you’re not helping! So be quiet!”

The two Seirei Class spirits exchanged the same puzzled look with one another before they clumsily bounded behind Tamao in the air to try and get a look at her board too. Tamao closed her eyes and she took in a long deep breath.

A silence grew in the brightly lit room. However, elsewhere in the Onsen, the sound of a little girl quietly sobbing could be heard - followed by the pleasant sound of a young woman’s voice singing softly to try and soothe the child’s cries.

Tamao sighed, defeated. She slumped herself back onto the floor from her kneeling position.

“It’s no use. I can’t look that far.” she sighed, sadly. “They’re too far away for me to see…”

Tamao’s usually outlandish pair of Spirit Ally’s exchanged another concerned look with one another before they both looked back at the pink haired shaman’s face. They watched helplessly as Tamao’s eyes began to well up with tears.

There was an uncomfortable pause. Until, out of the corner of Tamao’s eye, she could have sworn she saw the coin she was using for her divination move on its own. She wiped her face with the back of her arm before blinking at the board once again. She stared intensely at the coin, examining its edges for movement. Then after a moment, it seemed to twitch again. Even the animal spirits took notice.

“Are you doing that?” asked Ponchi, alarmed.

“N-no.” softly replied Tamao.

The coin began to glide itself across the board and it began to spell out an incantation. Tamao desperately reached for her note book to try and note down the words, but she was not quick enough. The coin raced across the board, zig zagging back and forth like lightning. Tamao was stunned. She leapt to her feet - and just as she was about to call Anna’s name to come and see - a fracture in the air itself appeared above her board right before her eyes. She watched in amazement as radiant pink and violet light began to spill out of it and swell all around the room.

Tamao gazed into the portal that had just opened in the middle of her own bedroom and froze. She saw the face of someone she vaguely recognised on the other side. A pair of glistening magenta eyes and a radiant warm smile looked back at her - which for some reason she could not explain - made her overwhelming fear and anxiety wash away.

Without saying a word, the strangely familiar woman reached her hand through the portal and Tamao noticed immediately how she was presenting her with something. Tamao recognised the black sheathed relic and red handle immediately. It was Yoh’s sword!

“What…?” breathed Tamao, unable to comprehend what she was seeing.

“Take it.” softly said the pink haired woman with a kind smile.

As Tamao hesitantly reached for Harasume, her two loyal spirits behind her looked almost fit to burst as they watched on in a stunned silence at the exciting but alarming scene. They were certain what they were witnessing was the most important moment of Tamao’s life.

Tamao firmly accepted the sword. As she did, she inhaled sharply as her mind became overwhelmed by a mass avalanche of memories and knowledge - and immense furyoku began to pulsate around her tiny skinny body.

Gasping for breath, Tamao momentarily felt her legs weaken from the intense rush of energy, though she managed to hold herself steady on her feet. After a moment or so, she lifted her head and looked back at the face of the one who had gifted her the sword and smiled.

“Thank you.” she sighed, nodding her head in gratitude.

“You know what to do.” replied the kind adult voice of Tamao’s true self, before the portal quickly vanished into thin air.

Downstairs, Anna had sensed something was happening - but had the spiritual intellect to not interfere. She had her hands full anyway, literally, with a very over tired Opacho - who had finally fallen asleep in her arms thanks to Anna’s hidden secret ability to sing like an angel.

Anna looked up and locked eyes with Tamao as she appeared in the room. The skilled Itako noticed immediately that something had dramatically changed in Tamao’s eyes the moment she saw her. Then she noticed the very recognisable item she was holding in her hand.

“I need to speak with Master Yohken. Now.” firmly said Tamao with a determined smile.

Mini Episode - “A Real Family” (Part Three)

“Oh so, that’s why she knows you so well?” softly asked Tamao, slightly amazed.

“Opacho knows Hao-sama the best!” squealed Opacho.

“Heh, she’s not wrong. She probably knows me better than I know myself.” chuckled Hao.

The three star gazing shaman lay head-to-head in a star shaped formation underneath a vast starlit sky. Occasionally, glittering fireflies floated out of the soft grassy plain surrounding them and danced above their heads.

“What - what do you mean?” quietly asked Tamao, she found it a lot easier to speak out loud without making eye contact with the one she was talking to, and kept her eyes firmly on the starry constellations above her.

Hao sighed deeply as he searched for the right words to explain.

“Opacho has this amazing ability to accept me for who I am no matter what the circumstances may be… I suppose you could say, that’s what real love is.” gently explained Hao, smiling a bit.

“Opacho loves Hao-sama the best too!”

Tamao smiled in response to Opacho’s outpouring of love towards her devoted guardian, but she remained silent as she quietly considered Hao’s words.

“It’s complicated and hard to explain,” went on Hao, realising he was being somewhat cryptic in his explanation, “Especially with little ears listening… And, I’m not entirely sure I fully understand it myself, but, I’m just thankful that something brought us back together. My life would feel… empty, without her in it.”

Opacho beamed a happy delighted smile up at the sky as Tamao’s mind whirled with more and more questions.

“What was it like… going to another world?” whispered Tamao, closing her eyes briefly as she tried to imagine what that would feel like for a moment.

“Terrifying.”

Tamao opened her eyes at the word. She could hardly imagine Hao being afraid of anything.

“I thought I had lost everything. It was like everything I had worked so hard for was gone. Everything I knew, everyone I cared about…” trailed off Hao.

Opacho let out a little whimper. Hao lifted his hand towards her and gripped her little fingers to reassure her. Opacho smiled in response.

“But then I found Yoh in that world. And the very first thing he did was he brought me and Opacho together. It was like, even though we had just met - he knew me better than I knew myself, too.”

The small child leapt to her feet and began to skip through the grassy field around them, purposely disturbing the resting fireflies so they would swarm the air around them. Tamao and Hao sat up to keep her in their sights, sharing in the same peaceful moment as they watched the happy little girl play.

““Accepting someone for who they are no matter what the circumstances may be”…” quietly whispered Tamao.

Hao remained silent as he absorbed his own words himself as they were repeated back to him.

“Is it true that…” quietly began Tamao, eventually, “Opacho has the same power that Anna once had?”

“In a way,” replied Hao, there was a slight hint of sadness in his tone, he kept his eyes firmly on Opacho as he answered Tamao’s question,

“Opacho’s Reishi is still somewhat in its infancy. Fortunately, though, she was cared for by someone who understood her power and how to properly nurture it.”

After a moment, Tamao hesitantly turned her head to look at Hao’s face, as she did, she noticed there was a hint of pain in his expression,

“Was that “someone”… you?” she whispered, softly.

Hao paused, before turning and meeting Tamao’s curious star lit eyes.

“Yes. I suppose it was.”

Episode Six (4)

“Hao-sama!” delightfully yelled Opacho, leaping into his arms as he stepped through the front door of the Onsen. Hao happily embraced the little girl, giving her a welcoming squeeze in return. “ Opacho missed you!”

Hao laughed softly.

“I missed you too Opacho.” chuckled Hao, carrying her into the house followed immediately by Yoh, Anna and Amidamaru.

“Uh, I-I’m sorry Hao, I may have already told her about your plan to…” quietly muttered Tamao as Hao entered through the kitchen doorway carrying the excited toddler in his arms.

“Let’s go!” cheered Opacho, now leaping from Hao’s arms to the ground with a confident smile. She began to march herself towards the open door, brushing past the two who were walking through it.

Anna and Yoh stepped to the side as the child pushed her way through them. They locked eyes with each other briefly before looking back into the house to see Hao and Tamao looking equally bereft as the child they both cared for disappeared out the front door.

“But Nii-chan, it’s late. Where are you gonna go at this time of the night?” giggled Yoh.

Hao sighed, shaking his head with a kind smile as he hurriedly followed after the infant in his care. He picked up her sneakers and orange puffy jacket from the coat rack on his way out the door.

“I’m sure we’ll figure something out.” he said hurriedly as he passed his twin and his future sister-in-law. “She’s the most at home under the stars, anyway.”

Anna and Yoh exchanged another silent look with one another before they turned to the pink haired shaman who was still frozen to the spot. Tamao then turned her attention to Anna.

“Hi, Anna.” she greeted with a soft smile. “It’s - it’s so nice to - .”

“Why are you still standing there?” interrupted Anna, sternly. “Aren’t you supposed to be going on this little family trip?”

Tamao blinked, stunned by Anna’s words and familiarity with the situation.

“F- family trip?” she repeated, blushing. “I- I assumed she just wanted her…”

“Tamao?” called a voice from outside. “Are you coming or…?”

Tamao’s eyes widened as she heard Hao’s voice calling for her. She reached for her jacket from the kitchen counter and hastily followed after the two who were waiting for her outside.

As the front door of the Onsen closed behind them, Anna and Yoh locked eyes with one another once again. Yoh smiled awkwardly.

“I know, I was just as surprised as you are.” he laughed.

Anna didn’t respond, she simply walked a few paces into the house to inspect its condition.

“You never take me out on any star gazing date nights.” she said, coldly.

Yoh felt a chill run up his spine at his fiancée’s words. Amidamaru gave his master a sympathetic and strained smile as he watched on at the familiar scenario.

“What?!”

Episode Seven (3)

“See Nii-chan, that wasn’t so bad, right?” laughed Yoh.

“It was somewhat entertaining.” replied Hao with a slight smirk.

“Entertaining?” repeated Manta, confused. “School isn’t supposed to be “fun”.”

“Oh - there were certainly some “fun” moments.” chuckled Hao, letting out an amused chortle at his little brother’s expense. A look of embarrassment flickered across Yoh’s face but he managed a small smile too.

The three school students walked side-by-side out of the Academy grounds surrounded by the rest of their fellow homeward bound students. For a brief moment, the twins both considered how ordinary and peaceful their day had been compared to recent events - and almost as though they could hear what the other was thinking once again, they locked eyes with one another and shared a silent exchange and a mirrored smile.

Suddenly, the twins simultaneously stopped in their tracks. Manta walked a few steps in front and then stopped too. Confused, he turned around and looked back at his identical friends - noticing how they both shared the exact same harrowed expression.

“Guys?” muttered Manta, alarmed.

“”Something’s wrong.”” echoed the twins. Without hesitation, they began to immediately sprint down the street. Not missing a beat, Manta hurried after them.

Moments later, Hao arrived home followed immediately by Yoh - they both froze for a moment as they observed the front door of the Onsen was wide open. As they bolted through the door, it was immediately obvious there had been an intruder when they discovered the contents of their home had been trashed.

“Tamao!? Opacho?!” frantically called Hao. He could hear Yoh calling for the girls too as he had made his way up the stairs to widen the search. Manta arrived moments later. He froze in the doorway when he witnessed the harrowing scene.

Hao ran through the house to the back communal living room. His blood ran cold when he discovered the injured pink haired shaman on the floor.

“Tamao!!” yelled Hao as he ran to her side. His eyes scanned her frame up and down before he leaned closer to her to examine her face. As he gently removed her hair from her eyes, a deep anger began to rise within him when he saw her bruised features.

Tamao opened her eyes at Hao’s touch and blinked, meeting his worried stare. Her eyes began to well up with tears. Hao carefully wrapped his arms under her tiny frame and he lifted her from the floor. He turned around and gently lowered her onto the neighbouring futon couch.

“Hao - I’m - I’m so sorry, he - he took Opacho!” cried Tamao. Hao’s eyes became white at her words.

“Who did? Who did this to you?!” seethed Hao. There was an unusual hint of hatred in his tone.

Yoh appeared in the doorway, he looked on solemnly at his worried sibling standing over Tamao.

“Nii-chan… Harasume… it’s gone.” sadly said Yoh, his tone hollow.

“What?” gasped Hao, looking up at his twin and locking eyes with him for a moment before looking back at Tamao’s injured face.

“He - he was wearing white, he had big hair…” whimpered Tamao, wincing slightly in pain as she spoke.

“”Wooden Sword Ryu.”” echoed the brothers.

Without hesitation, Hao stood up straight and sprinted to the doorway, brushing by his alarmed twin without a word.

“Hao - wait! I know what’s going to — “ hastily called Yoh, immediately following him to the Onsen front door. Hao hurriedly pushed past a startled Manta and made his way outside.

As Hao stepped outside, he froze in his tracks when he laid eyes on the one he was looking for - holding his weeping little girl under his arm.

“Opacho!” cried Hao - a moment later, he also noted how Ryu was grasping his brother’s prized sword in his other hand.

When Hao looked back at Ryu’s psychotic expression, he was instantly reminded of the face of someone else who had dared to threaten the child in his care - except this time, he could do something about it.

Yoh ran out of the house and saw the familiar scene playing out in front of him. He locked his eyes on Ryu and felt a lump in his throat to see his good friend reliving a horrendous scenario in front of his eyes. However, when he saw Opacho and Hao’s livid expression, he wasn’t entirely sure how things were going to play out this time around.

“Ryu…” sadly sighed Yoh.

Ryu smirked when he saw Yoh’s face appear.

“I came here looking for you,” began Ryu, locking his twisted expression on Yoh, “But this little thing here practically handed herself over to me as bait.”

Opacho began to cry louder.

“Hao-sama!” she sobbed.

“Harm a hair on her head and I’ll make you wish I had killed you when I’m through with you!” angrily roared Hao.

Yoh watched as Hao’s Spirit Ally appeared before him and began to change its radiant golden glow to red. Yoh leapt forward and grabbed his twin by the shoulder.

“Hao - wait!” desperately cried Yoh.

“I know he’s your friend Yoh - but I won’t let him hurt Opacho!” angrily snapped Hao.

“Friend? I am not your friend!” screamed Ryu. “I am after only one thing. Revenge against you - Amidamaru!”

Hao laughed softly.

“I missed you too Opacho.” chuckled Hao, carrying her into the house followed immediately by Yoh.

“Uh, I-I’m sorry Hao, I may have already…” quietly muttered Tamao as Hao entered through the kitchen doorway carrying the excited toddler in his arms.

“Let’s go!” cheered Opacho, now leaping from Hao’s arms to the ground with a confident smile. She began to march herself towards the open door, brushing past the two who were walking through it.
