breakingdreams | shaman king; A Minor Disturbance

Title: A Minor Disturbance
Pairing: Yoh/Zeke, hints of Yoh/Zeke/Anna
Summary: The last person Yoh expects to see when he opens the door is Zeke.
Disclaimer: I don't own Shaman King.
Notes: This is based on my own skewed version of canon. Basically, everything happens as it does in the anime, except, like in the manga, Yoh reforms Zeke, who becomes Shaman King. Obviously, I watched the dub. I wrote this about a minute after watching the finale, and typed it up an hour later, so it's probably not my best work. Still, I like it well enough.

A Minor Disturbance

When Yoh answers the knock at his door, the last person he expects to see is Zeke.

Zeke, on the other hand, doesn't seem to notice his surprise. He tilts his head, closing his eyes as he smiles at him, smiles that same, carefree smile that had unnerved him so much, back in the days of the tournament. Back in the days when Zeke wanted nothing more then to wipe out all humans.

"Hello, brother."

"What are you doing here?" Yoh asks with his own, familiar grin. "Aren't you busy with being Shaman King?"

"Day off," Zeke replies in the same, offhand manner, and Yoh thinks to himself that he didn't know the Shaman King had days off.

Zeke rests his hand against the door frame, leaning on it. He tilts his head to look past Yoh, and down the hallway behind him.

"You know," he says conversationally, "I don't want to share you with anyone else."

Yoh blinks. "Didn't we already go over this?" he asks. "You know, there was a big battle, you nearly absorbed my soul, I cut you down...remember?"

"I don't want to share you with anyone," he repeats, more intensely, as if Yoh hadn't said a word, "but I'll be willing to make an exception for Anna." He pulls back, that carefree smile reappearing. Yoh hadn't realized that it had disappeared until then. "Remember that."

"Uh, okay." Yoh looks at him for a moment. "You know, I have no idea what you mean by that."

Zeke lets out a laugh, and it's as though the serious mood evaporates. "That's alright," he says. "You will."

Then he's gone, and a confused Yoh brings his hand to his cheek. He shakes his head, because, for just a moment, he could have sworn Zeke had reached his hand out to him.
