Part One: The Surprise of A Female; Ultimate Freedom

"Where are we going, Yoh?" Manta asked as he followed behind the carefree shaman. Yoh smiled before answering.

"To a club here in Izumo." Manta stared at him as did the rest of their group.

"A club? Why are we going to a club, boss?" Ryo asked, curious.

"Shouldn't we be training?" Len questioned, his temper flaring.

"A club sounds like fun!" Horohoro seemed to be the only one not questioning Yoh's intentions. Their guardian ghosts followed silently behind them, their attitudes as carefree as Yoh's.

When all of them realized that their questions were not going to be answered they simply followed Yoh up to a building that had the look of a pub but the atmosphere of a club. The bouncer, without question, let Yoh and his friends in. Now Yoh's group was curious. Unaccompanied minors were usually never let into clubs that easily.

"What gives, Yoh?" Manta asked, his suspicions growing with every step he took.

"Yo, Yoh! Long time no see! Where you been?" A chubby bartender waved at the group of teens and Yoh smiled.

"Ren! Hey! Is Ani around?" Yoh asked as he looked around the club.

"Yeah, she is! About to go on in about 5 seconds!" The man answered with a smile of pride on his face. Yoh turned toward the stage as the curtains moved to reveal a band. Soon after a teenage girl with raven hair and amethyst eyes stepped up to the microphone. Yoh's face lit up when he saw her and the rest of his group stared in wonder. She looked similar to their leader. The only difference between them was eye color and gender. Soon her voice echoed throughout the room and the group of shamans stared at her with wide eyes. She didn't seem to notice the people that filled the club and cheered her on. When she finished she bowed and froze when she finally noticed the boys.

"Hey! Little one! Yoh's here!" Ren shouted as she jumped off of the stage and made her way toward the bar.

"Yoh?" Her voice was soft and a blush appeared on all of the young boys' faces. All except Yoh who smiled.

"Hey, Ani!" She suddenly hugged him and giggled.

"I missed you brother!"

"Brother?!"

"Boss you had a sister and never told us about her?!" Ryo asked, his eyes filled with tears.

"You never asked." Yoh shrugged his shoulders as Aniko sat beside him, smiling.

"Introduce us!" Horohoro smirked flirtatiously at the young Asakura girl and she rolled her eyes.

"Oh right....forgot."

"No need. I know who all of you are." She interrupted, a smile still playing on her lips. She turned to each of them as she named them.

"Tao Len, Chinese shaman whose guardian ghost is Bason, an ancient Chinese warrior who's served your family for years." Len stared at her.

"HoroHoro, shaman from the North. Your ghost is a nature spirit."

"Ryo, you are a newbie shaman whose guardian ghost is Amidamaru's enemy, Tokegeroh." She smirked as Yoh scratched the back of his head.

"Who told you?" He asked as Aniko turned to him.

"Oh grandfather of course. He's been adamant about trying to get me to contact you."

"Why haven't you?" Yoh asked as his sister climbed to her feet.

"You were in Tokyo."

"She seems kinda...mad, boss." Ryo suggested as Yoh sighed when they left the club. Manta was disappointed when she didn't name him but was more curious as to why the Asakura siblings seemed so distant.

"She probably is. I left her here to go to Tokyo." Yoh answered. His teammates looked at him and saw a sense of pain wavering from his form.

"Why would she be mad, Yoh?" Manta asked as Amidamaru floated beside him, nodding.

"She's my sister. I was the only friend she had. I told you Grandfather didn't let us have non dead friends. Then I just left her." Yoh told his teammates as Len scoffed.

"She is only mad that you did not take her with you."

"She hates big cities."

"Has she ever been to one?" Len asked as Yoh frowned.

"No." He answered and Len smirked.

"Then she is mad that you did not take her with you, not that you left her." Yoh sighed before nodding to agree with Len.

"Master Yoh!" A female voice cried out as Amidamaru looked up, his eyes wide.

"Master Yoh! Oh I found you!" A female ghost with long raven hair and bright amethyst eyes appeared in front of the team. She wore the attire of ancient royalty, or of a shogun's wife.

"Master Yoh, my mistress has collasped in the graveyard! Please you must help her! She is not well!" Yoh's eyes widened.

"Who is your mistress?" He asked, fear racing through his system and he silently begged for it not to be his sister.

"Miss Aniko Asakura! You are her brother, are you not?" Yoh took off as the female ghost finally looked up and her eyes widened.

"Lord Amidamaru?"

"Lady Ayame?"

"Aniko!" Yoh dropped down beside his wheezing sister and she glared at him before turning her glare onto her guardian.

"Ayame! When I said go get help, I did not mean him!"

"But Mistress! He was the only one who could see me!" Ayame answered easily as Yoh helped his sister sit up.

"That has not stopped you from rushing home to get grandfather or mother." Aniko muttered as she pushed Yoh away.

"I'm fine, now. You can go back to Tokyo." She mumbled and Yoh shook his head.

"Not without you." She stared at him.

"What?" She asked, wanting clarification.

"I'm not going back to Tokyo without you." Yoh spoke, determined not to leave his sister behind again.

"Why not?" She wondered.

"I need you."

Manta and the others felt like they were intruding on a private family matter as Aniko and Yoh stared at one another, one determined, the other confused.

"Maybe we should leave." He suggested as both Horohoro and Ryo shook their head.

"No, Boss and boss' sister are have revelations about their relationship!"

"This is like a scene from a movie!" Horohoro spoke with a hint of jealousy as Len scoffed.

"Pathetic." He began to walk away until he heard his name.

"Len! Can you help me?" Yoh asked as he looked up and Len glared at him over his shoulder.

"Help you do what?" He asked, his temper again flaring.

"Ani's too weak to walk on her own! You're about her height so it wouldn't hurt her too much to lean on you!" Yoh spoke softly, his aloofness returning.

"I don't need his help!"

"I don't want to help her!" Both Aniko and Len whined as Yoh smiled.

"Ahh come on, Len, please? Besides once she's home, then you don't have to see her again!" He offered and Aniko crossed her arms across her chest as Horohoro and Ryo pouted.

"We want to help!"

"Boss, I could carry her!" Both Horohoro and Ryo offered their services but Yoh and Aniko declined both of them.

"No, Len's helping her."

"No, I don't need help!"

"I cannot believe I'm being helped..."

"I can't believe I got talked in helping you." Both Len and Aniko glared at Yoh as he carelessly walked ahead of them, a smile playing on his lips.

"Where have you been, Lord Amidamaru?" Aniko grumbled meaningless nothings as her guardian became wrapped up in a conversation with Amidamaru, who too was wrapped up in the conversation between Ayame and himself.

"Bason!" Len called for his guardian only too find him along with Tokegeroh and Kori engrossed with the interaction between Ayame and Amidamaru.

Aniko looked around her and found she was quite literally alone with the Chinese shaman and she did not like it one bit.

"I hate my brother and his new stupid friends!" She mumbled to herself and Len scoffed.

"I hate Asakuras." Aniko turned to him with a glare.

"What's so wrong with my family, hmm?" She asked, her temper beginning to get the better of her.

"Everything." Len answered, unabashed by his answer as Aniko growled at him.

"And like you're so perfect! You should not talk about screwed up families!" She accused, her cheeks heating up in her anger. Len growled at her before smirking.

"I don't have continue to help you walk, you know?" He insinnuated and she glared at him.

"That's right, you don't! I can walk just fine by myself." Len took her by her word and removed himself from beside her. She stood stable for a few seconds before she tried to take a step forward and lost her balance. Len laughed when he watched her hit the ground and she growled at him in anger. Then the growls turned to whimpers as she turned over to reveal several gashes along her hands. Len looked down at the change of sounds emitting from her form and frowned when he saw the blood that now ran down her arms from her uplifted hands. He rolled his eyes and bent down next to her.

"Now see! You've gone and hurt yourself!" He took the scarf from around her neck and easily tore it in half.

"Hey! That was mine!" She whined before a look from Len quieted her.

"Technically it's your fault, you know." She muttered and he chuckled. She stared at him.

"What's so funny?" He continued to chuckle at her bewildered expression.

"You are." He answered, his chuckling slowly ending.

"How am I funny?" She asked, offended by his laughter. Len shrugged before helping Aniko to her feet.

"You just are."

"You are fine, now." Yohmei informed his youngest grandchild as she stared out of the room, an aloof look upon her face. He sighed and turned to leave.

"Why did you send Yoh to the club tonight, Grandfather?" Yohmei turned to her and noticed the aloof look was replaced with one of displeasure.

"He asked about you, Aniko." He answered.

"Yes, and instead of telling him I was fine, you sent him to the club and let him see for himself how well I was faring without him. Is that it?" She asked, her temper flaring.

"I do not understand why you don't want to see him. He is your brother."

"For the same reason you did not let me go to Tokyo! You didn't want me to interfere with his training, so I'm not!" Her voice was loud and echoed off of the walls as Yohmei stared at her. His granddaughter was not known to be loud. A temper she possessed but never the volume to match it. Her revenge was usually silent, swift, and ultimately crippling in some effect.

"Calm yourself."

"No! I've been calm for too long, grandfather! I want my own voice now! I want freedom!" She now shouted and Yohmei found his own temper was beginning to flare with her disobedience.

"You are an Asakura! You will do as the rest of us have done!"

"And what is that? Work two jobs to keep up with the payments we owe? No! I want what Yoh has! He has freedom since you released him! I don't!" Tears had appeared in her eyes as Yohmei stared at her. When he had given Yoh the permission to go to Tokyo, he had denied Aniko's. Now Aniko had suffered a most crippling blow. Not only was her brother not dependent upon her for company anymore, he also had at least one human friend. Not to mention his shaman friends. Aniko had no one. She was alone and Yohmei realized his mistake. But his granddaughter's next statement caused him to fight his own tears.

"I don't want to be a shaman! I don't want to be an Asakura! I don't want anything to do with you, mother, grandmother, father or my brother! I want to be normal!" Tears now poured down her cheeks as she turned back to the window and glared at the outside world.

"You don't mean that, young one..." Yohmei began until Aniko cut him off.

"I do. I mean every single word."
