Disclaimer: I do not own shaman king.
Rutherfor is the final patch priest from shaman king and doesn't show up till the very end of the series.
This is a fanfic on Rutherfor and how she got her guardian spirit, grey saucer. One-shot.
She had failed again. She had tried and tried: and she had failed again. Sobbing, she ran out of the
building, heading for her house. A small mob of people quickly followed her, yelling taunts at her like
"spiritless!" "loser!" and foremost "Geek!" After almost 20 minutes of the other children following her
and yelling insults at her, she lost them near the middle of the town. After 10 more minutes, she arrived
at her mother's house. Her mother said "did you do it this time, honey?" The girl replied "no mom... I
failed at it again." Smiling, her mother said "cheer up sweetheart, there's always next year." The girl
nodded and said "thanks mom... I'm going to go to bed early today." Her mother said "it's all right girl."
The young woman's name was Rutherfor, an aspiring shaman of the patch tribe, a native american
shaman tribe. However, Rutherfor had tried for the last several years to obtain a guardian spirit, none of
the ones that had shown up at her class had taken any interest whatsoever in her. The next day,
Rutherfor came down early to fix herself breakfast, to see her mother already there, and smiling
broadly. Rutherfor said "mom, why are you so happy?" Her mother said "I got a letter from the school,
they said you could take the day off, so you could try to find a spirit partner." Giving a rare smile,
Rutherfor said "thanks for telling me, mom!" After Rutherfor had rushed breakfast, she headed out to
one of her favorite places, a small cliff overlooking a underground lake, with a hidden path and a great
deal of privacy if she wanted it. However, to Rutherfor's surprise, someone was already there. Upon
closer inspection, however, she discovered it was Goldva, the current chieftain of the patch tribe. She
said "hello Goldva sama." Goldva, surprised that someone had arrived at her "secret spot" said "who
are you? I haven't seen you before." Rutherfor said "my name is Rutherfor, Goldva sama." Goldva
said "are you the girl that has problems getting a guardian spirit?" Nodding, Rutherfor said "Y-Yes..
that would be me, miss Goldva." (notice: Goldva is apparently a girl.) Goldva said "i'm guessing you
are here to obtain a guardian spirit, am I correct?" Rutherfor nodded and said "yes." Goldva smiled and
said "you should do fine then." Rutherfor was puzzled by this and said "what do you mean,
Goldva sama?" Smiling, Goldva said "When I was starting out as a shaman, I didn't get my guardian
spirit until I was 13 years old. These things take less time for some people and more for others. Me and
you are both in the second category." Rutherfor nodded and said "thank you miss. Oh, could you help
me find a guardian spirit here? I just somehow know that my partner is going to show up here today."
Nodding, Goldva said "all right, I will help you." After several minutes, a single spirit flew down to
where the two sat. However, it was a spirit different from any other they had seen. To the point that it
looked like an... "ALIEN!" shrieked Rutherfor at the top of her lungs, and fainted. The spirit woke her
up quickly and said to her "why are you scared of me?" Rutherfor realized that she was unable to come
up with an answer. She said "i don't know..." To her surprise, the spirit said "i can live with that."
Puzzled, Rutherfor said "what do you mean by that?" the alien said "i would like to be your ally. You
are a shaman without a spirit, and I am a spirit without a shaman. If there is any more reason for the
two of us to help each other, let me know." Smiling, Goldva said "It looks like you have a new friend,
Rutherfor." Rutherfor said "i know, doesn't it?" Smiling the second time that morning, Rutherfor and
the alien's spirit shook hands.
