23~Shaman High 2nd Year (Asakura Hao)~23

“Come on, let us see!! Ohhh!!! Ayame!!! Who’s this super hot guy in the middle beside you!?!?!?”

She gasped with hearts in her eyes as she glues her face against the picture.

“Kya!! You’re right!!!!! Hey! He looks just like that…umm….Yoh right!? They look really alike except for the hair style and his face seems sharper. Is he Yoh’s ani (older brother) he spoke off who let you stay in his house?”

Yori asked as you nodded slightly.

“C-Can I have back my album…?”

“What’s his name?”

“Well…Hao…”

“So his full name is Asakura Hao!? Kakui (He’s cool)!!!”

“Asakura Hao? Hey! I heard of him!!! Isn’t he the famous prodigy in Shaman High?”

Kai said as you sweat drop while the others turn to him.

“M-My alb-‘

“Ah!!! Yeah! After our last encounter with Ayame, I still think that the rumor of a super hot boy is true so I went on the internet and search! You won’t believe it! But there’s thousands of site with his name all over the place! But for some reason, there aren’t any photos.”

Yori said and by now, Suzuki is hugging your album as though it’s her life.

“S-Suzuki…?”

“So he’s a prodigy!? Kya!!! I want to go to Shaman High!”

“But…you said before they’re all fake…”

Yori pointed out as Suzuki huff. “That’s that and this is this!” “I heard of him too. Get this. I heard that at the entrance exam to Shaman High, he scored a hundred percent!” Haku shouted as you all turn to him, surprise. You never heard of that before, but now you think of it again, there isn’t really anything to be surprise off. After all you’ve been through; your sense as a normal human being became really numb now.

“What? But I’ve taken Shaman High’s entrance exam before! You need do an exam on every subject. Art, Music, Japanese, English, Math, Science and so on. You have to score at least of 85 percent on each.”

“Yeah, but Haku’s right. I did come across something like that but then I thought it must be a phony. But now that I think about it, it could be true.”

Yori said as Suzuki screamed more, causing you to cover your ears in shock and surprise.

“Ahh!!! Ayame!!! When’s Hao coming back!?!?!?!?”

“E-Eh? H-Hao……well, he went off to do something. He won’t come back anytime soon…”

“Then we’ll come tomorrow!!!”

Yori shouted as Suzuki nodded.

“B-B-But…This isn’t my house s-so…”

“Oh come on, don’t hog him to yourself!”

“Iya (No), that’s not what I…Hao won’t come back for months…”

You said as the girls frowned.

“Awww!! And I was looking forward to meeting him!”

“Ne (Hey), Ayame...I just notice…but your shuttering seems to ceased a bit since the last I saw you.”

Kai pointed out as they all turn to you.

“Eh? Well….”

“Hey! You’re right! Ayame still speaks softly, but her shuttering did ceased!”

Haku said as you blushed slightly at the sudden attention you’re getting.

“I-Iya (N-No) I-I…”

“Anyways! Let’s see the next page!!! I want to see more of Hao!!”

“Yeah!”

They shouted as Suzuki flip to the next page as you panic more.

“M-Matte kudasai (P-Please wait)-”

But too late, she already flipped to the next page as your face lid up while gasps were heard. On the next page, there are two pictures, both showing only you and Hao. The upper left one show you, holding a chocolate ice cream in your right hand with Hao behind you. His arms wrap tightly around your small waist, lifting you off your feet with his face buried into the crook of your neck. Hao had this soft and warm expression on his face as he smiles towards the camera. You on the other hand is blushing madly with a shocked look. Behind you two stood a Ferris wheel from the amusement park.

“K-Kore wa (T-This is)…”

Suzuki gasped as they all stare at you while your face heat up more.

“I-Iya (No), this um…“

You gasp before trying to take your album back again when Yori hang onto you to prevent you from going anywhere near Suzuki. “Oh it’s just a peek.” She said teasingly with a laugh, but you’re not smiling. Instead, you feel your heart skip a beat in embarrassment. “Yori onegai (please)…” You whispered, struggling a bit but you can’t get away for that you’re too weak.

“Come on, any position is fine.”

Yoh said, holding the digital camera with Horo Horo, looking over Yoh’s shoulder at the screen while licking a mint ice cream. Anna sat in the tree shade, eating a banana ice cream with poor Manta fanning Anna.

“Technology these days are fascinating.”

Amidamaru said as he looks at the digital camera.

“Hmm…”

Hao said as he seems to be thinking about something.

“Yoh, take it on the count of three.”

He suddenly said as you turn to hi. Hao just smile before turning you side ways so the camera is facing your right side.

“Ok! 1…”

“E-Eh?”

You said as you turn to Hao who just smiles at you.

“...2…”

“D-Demo (B-But) I’m not-“

“3!!”

Yoh shouted as you suddenly felt a pair of arm wrap around your waist with a face in the crook of your neck.

“A-Ah!”

You gasped softly in surprise as you feel Hao lift you off your feet as a blinding white light shot into your eyes.

“Ahahaha!!! Nice, Hao!”

Horo Horo laughed as Hao gently set you back onto your feet while you continue to blush in deep red.

“It’s perfect.”

Yoh said, coming over as he turn the camera around so you two can look at the screen. Yoh’s right, it is a perfect and a really natural shot. However, you still feel a bit embarrass. .

“Yosh (Ok)! Our turn!”

Horo Horo said as he ran in front of the Ferris wheel with Kororo by his side.

“Ok.”

Hao said with a smile as you two walk back as Hao points the camera towards Horo Horo and Kororo.

“Ah, wait up!”

Yoh said, running into the screen together with Amidamaru as the light flash from the camera.

“Nani kore (What is this)!?”

Suzuki’s shout snaps through the air. You blush in million shades of red, trying hard to reach for your album but Yori’s grip is too tight for you. By now, they’ve all flipped to the third picture. That picture is taken right here in the garden, in front of the pond in the middle of a flower field right at spring. At that time; the sakuras were fully bloomed. At the center of the picture were you, with Hao behind. His arms wrapped around your shoulders with his head resting at the edge of your shoulder blade. He had his heart melting smile while you’re blushing and slightly looking off to the side from embarrassment. However, you still have a smile on you.

“Ne (Hey), Ayame, don’t tell me…..”

Kai started as they look at the two pictures again while you feel as though you’re going to die from your forehead overheating any moment.
