Anna did get in the way a bit. She made me do all the work for her around the house, especially cleaning. It got very boring after a while, but I never had the courage to stand up to her. The only one who ever did was Hao, but even he got slapped once. I was never one to risk Anna’s infamous slap. Actually, I was more afraid of her using me as a weapon. I got thrown at Horo Horo once or twice when she was closer to me than to him.
I suppose you could say I got along with Yoh’s friends well. I still don’t trust Ren with my life, like I do with Yoh, but we talk to each other. Horo’s nice to me, as are Lyserg and Chocolove, even if he is a bit weird. I always had a special friendship with Ryu, even though he beat me up the first time we met. He was the one who gave me hope when I thought Yoh didn’t want to be friends any more, and took me to Izumo, where we became friends again. Faust, I’m not too sure about. I used to be deathly scared of him, even after Anna assured me he was nice at heart. Now I can get along with him, but don’t always understand why he does some things.
Hao has always been a weird person for me to discuss. The first time I saw him, he hurt Yoh and his friends, so for a while I hated him. That and the fact that he wanted to make a world free of Shamans. In case he hadn’t noticed, I was a human, and didn’t appreciate that he was going to wipe out me and the rest of my race. I was sickened by the fact that he could just kill other people without a second thought, but I also looked up to him a little because he had such great power. I mean, I wasn’t even a Shaman, but he could control the elements with a flick of the wrist or a click on the tongue.
My thoughts changed a bit when I actually met him. I was astounded by how much he looked like Yoh, but how his personality was so different. I was a bit proud that he talked to me as if I was on the same level to him and that he told me things that he didn’t even tell Yoh. I still felt very uncomfortable in his presence because of what he wanted to do to Yoh. The final straw was when I witnessed the fight between them. I was scared stiff the whole way through, and worried for Yoh. Inside, I knew he was going to lose. It was inevitable. But I couldn’t believe it when he did. It was like – something had broken inside of me. Yeah, so that sounds really cheesy, but it’s true. A part of me – my best friend – was gone, so I thought, forever.
And when Yoh came back, I can’t really describe how I felt. It was a bit like a major mood swing – depressed to downright ecstatic. I knew we had a fighting chance and, after a few mishaps with Hao getting the King of Spirits and Yoh nearly dying again, he eventually managed to win. Then, I don’t know what really happened. Everything went so quick.
But then, the world often goes quick when you can only see up to peoples’ knees.
