This is a Shaman King Fanfic I wrote about a young girl called Yemi. I've managed to split it into Chapters but now it looks really short. I've grouped Chapters 6 and 7 8 and 9 and 10 - 12 together to stop it looking so short so sorry if it looks funny. anyway Enjoy!

Chapter 1

The Mysterious Schoolgirl

Though still training for the upcoming Shaman Tournament life was pretty normal for Yoh, Trey, Ryu, Ana and me. Wait, how normal can a Shaman's life be? Ana was still putting the three of them through her rigorous and tiring Training Program and as for me? I was still stuck playing errand boy. This was all only when Ana and Yoh and I were not at school though, when we were there Yoh would often doze off and Ana was in a different class anyway. One night after school as Yoh and I were walking back to Ana's place Yoh suddenly stopped.

"What is it Yoh?" I asked nervously and then Amedamaru appeared.

"I can sense something," said Yoh quietly.

"Yes my friend I feel it too," replied a serious Amedamaru. We looked around us, suddenly I saw someone standing on the roof of the school.

"Yoh look!" I cried, but when he and Amedamaru did the figure was gone.

"Strange, that feeling's gone," said Amedamaru.

"Yeah you're right. Oh well," smiled Yoh walking on.

"Wait a minuet I saw someone on the roof! It could have been Len or one of those Hunter Spirits!" I yelled. Yoh smiled wildly and laughed.

"Cool down Morty, it's nothing, it was a new presence not one we've met before so don't worry," he smiled.

"If it's new shouldn't we be more worried?" asked Amedamaru.

"Nah," said Yoh.

We got back and Ana was nowhere to be found. Ryu was in the kitchen cooking.

"Hay Ryu, have you seen Ana?" asked Yoh.

"No master Yoh, I've been busy making the most scrumptious dinner I can prepare," he smiled proudly.

"She said something about studying and said she was not to be disturbed," said Trey arriving.

"I wonder what she's doing?" I said.

"I'm standing in this doorway hungry!" shouted Ana from behind us.

"Oh hi Ana," Yoh said nervously.

"If you're through distracting Ryu from his cooking you can go out to the yard and chop up some wood for the fire, we're nearly out," replied Ana firmly.

"Yes Ana," replied Yoh leaving for the yard.

"Trey, go set the table and shorty, you go clean the bathroom, I want to see my face in those tiles!" she commanded. We all set to work but I couldn't shake the thought of that figure on the roof from my mind.

The next day Yoh and I were waiting for class to begin when a new girl entered the class. She had this really long pitch-black hair that came all the way down to her thighs and just sort of masked her like a shawl. Yoh and I looked at her as she sat by a window not saying anything to anyone, not only did she seem so shy but she also had these really sad purple shaded eyes. Her looked brightened a little when a boy entered, we didn't know him either. His hair was long too and it was blue and spiky. He had green eyes and a nice smile and when she stood up he was quite a bit taller than her.

"Hay Morty who are they?" asked Yoh.

"Don't know must be new," I replied. Then our teacher arrived and we all had to sit down. He began to call out our names for role call then he came to their names.

"Akuma? Yemi?" he said.

"Over here," called the boy.

"That's us," said the girl but her voice was much quieter than his. I watched them intently, Akuma and Yemi were probably brother and sister and I decided that after school Yoh and I were going to go say hi.

In the end our curiosity only let us wait till lunch. We found them standing together at the shade of a tree.

"I'm so glad you came, I thought when I decided to live as normal as I could, you'd leave me," said Yemi.

"Hay I can't do that, remember?" smiled Akuma.

"Hi I'm Yoh!" said Yoh. Yemi jumped back frightened and Akuma stood in front protecting her.

"I'm Morty?" I said nervously.

"Akuma it's ok, I think they just want to say hi," said Yemi in her small voice. Akuma calmed down and the two stood side by side.

"My name is Yemi," she tried to say louder but failing.

"I'm Akuma, what do you want?" he asked us he seemed very protective of her.

"We've come to well say hi and offer the hand of friendship," smiled Yoh confidently.

"That's very kind of you," sighed Yemi seemingly hiding away under her hair.

"You don't have to be afraid Yemi, we won't hurt you," I said caringly.

Yemi smiled then, even giggled a little.

"Thank you, Morty," she replied. I was a little taken a back she actually said my name right instead of calling me 'shorty' like everyone else.

"You're welcome," I said, then Ana arrived.

"So here you are!" shouted Ana. Yemi ran off with Akuma following.

"Ana, you scared her," said Yoh disappointed.

"Who was she!" growled Ana.

"She's a new girl and that's her brother, she's really timid so do you think you just be nice?" I asked knowing I'd regret asking.

"A new girl is she? Timid? Huh! She's anything but! I want you two to invite her to dinner then you'll see," Ana demanded walking off seemingly annoyed.

"We're going to have to find her first," I sighed and we started looking.

"Glad we got away from that one," said Akuma.

"Me too," replied Yemi.

"Who knew there'd be Shaman here! Are you ok?" he asked.

"Fine. I should've known trying to get away from my destiny was impossible," she slumped by a wall.

"Not quite, so long as we keep our distance no one has to be the wiser," smiled Akuma sitting with her.

"But what if she comes after me!" cried Yemi scared.

"You've got me, you'll always have me. And besides you haven't been beaten yet, you're not going to start now. Now do you want to try this again?" he asked her and Yemi stood up. She wore round her neck a black stoned amulet, she held onto it, took a deep breath and decided,

"We'll be ok, come on let's go."

As they walked out from their hiding place we caught up with them.

"Yemi! Akuma!" called Yoh.

"Oh no!" gasped Yemi leaping into Akuma's body for protection just as we got to them. Akuma glared at us, I was scared but Yoh didn't even seem to notice.

"Sorry about that, Ana really doesn't mean any harm, just a little short fused you know," panted Yoh.

"And what do you want now!" Akuma's voice boomed as he held Yemi firmly to him.

"Only to ask you and your sister to dinner," smiled Yoh, Yemi looked at us relieved, she muttered something and Akuma let her go.

"Thank you, but maybe we shouldn't we don't even know you," said Yemi looking at the floor.

"That's the fun part, we all get to be friends," laughed Yoh.

"Friends? You want to be my friends? Even though you don't know me?" asked Yemi she seemed surprised.

"Sure the more friends we got the better," I smiled.

Yemi looked to Akuma, he smiled to her as if saying everything was going to be all right.

"Then, maybe we can," she giggled looking and sounding happy for the first time that day.

"Just one thing, will that girl be there?" asked Akuma standing beside her.

"Well it's kinda our house so yeah but Ana's really nice once you get to know her," said Yoh.

"Akuma, it's ok, we accept you're invitation, thank you Yoh," she smiled at us.

"Great, then I guess it's a date!" shouted Yoh excited.
