Prologue… A very sad moment…

It was a very cold morning when they got themselves ready for a heavy training at Izumo Mountains. They planned to go there for some training so that they can improve their skills and talents for the coming shaman fight. Their meeting place was in front of their school. Pirika was with Horo Horo for support. Jun and Ren were already prepared. Ryu and others were now waiting on their meeting place. Before Yoh and Anna left the house, Anna prayed solemnly and asked for their good condition when they reached Izumo. All of them were complete and ready to go.

"Anna! Hayaku!"

Anna whispered a prayer. "… Hope we can reach Izumo with no injuries nor accidents… Please be with Yoh… and protect him no matter what will happen unexpected… Even though there's something will happen to me… Just keep his safety… Kami-sama…"

"Anna!"

"Don't be so excited! Hmmpf! You're disturbing me while I'm praying here!"

"Gomen gomen! I'm just too excited for the training!"

"Hmmpf! Your training will be useless if you're not going to be the Shaman King!"

"Wakatta yo, Anna! I promise you that I'm going to be the Shaman King!"

"Baka…"

Heading to Izumo, it was just a cold weather. On that night, they decided to stay at the inn for a while so that they could be prepared for their training, Morning again they were now about to continue their journey to Izumo. Then that afternoon, there was suddenly a heavy snowstorm. They hurriedly tried to dodge and afterwards… They didn't notice that they were just missing Anna when they arrived. They searched for her outside. Yoh got a heavy feeling that Anna was not in a good condition. He panicked and had very bad thoughts. He started worrying about her. When they were outside, Yoh's father, Mikihisa, panicky called them. There's a news about the snowstorm happened just a while ago. A lady was reported dead and found lying. Her face didn't shown by the reporters but their thoughts that lady was Anna…

"Yoh! Minna! Hayaku!"

"Doushita no, oto-sama?!"

"Anna… Anna-san wa…"

When it was reported, Yoh lost his thoughts. He was speechless and blanked. Even thought there's no name uttered by the reporter, he knew that lady was Anna…

"Na… Nani?"

"Gomen nasai, Yoh… She's dead…"

Tsuzuku…
