THE NEW ASAKURA

PROLOGUE

Yoh Asakura stretched and yawned as he reached into the mailbox of Funbari Onsen to get the mail. Let's see, he thought, thumbing through, water bill, medical catalog for Faust, Rio got an invite to some Chef's convention, hmm? The last piece of mail was from an Asakura, his dad's cousin Sakuya Asakura, to be precise.

Yoh pointed out the letter to Anna to which the hot spring's junior proprietor responded, "well? Aren't you going to open it?" Yoh did just that.

Yoh smiled, "hey! My cousin Kazumi is coming to spend the fall with us!"

"Kazumi?" Amidamaru, who had just appeared, being a ghost and all, inquired.

"You have a cousin?" Morty asked, sticking his head in the office.

Yoh smiled, "sure do, Morty! She goes to some all girls' school. Mahora, or something like that."

"Impressive," Anna remarked, "if she attends Mahora, she must excel in scholastic achievement, seeing as how it is a very excellent school."

Yoh grinned, "yep. I wonder if she still wants to be a journalist. I remember whenever I saw her when we were little; she always had a toy camera with her."

"Does the letter say when Kazumi is to arrive?" Amidamaru asked.

"Let's see… she's coming… tomorrow?"

Ta dah! My first Shaman King story and second all-around story on FFN. For fans of Negima; I figured since Kazumi's last name is Asakura and she makes friends with Sayo, the ghost student, she could be the key to a little crossover attempt. Let me know what you think. She comes in next chapter, but she's not alone…
