A/N: Hey there everyone! Since there aren't enough Shaman King/Danny Phantom crossovers as I'd like there to be, I decided to make one myself. The story was originally going to be completely different but this thought popped up into my head. So, I'm happy with it! :D
Now, I'm going to try my hardest to keep everyone as much in character as possible. Though the Danny Phantom crew might be a bit hard to pick up on because there isn't a wiki that actually describes their direct personality (explains their history, but not personality). That doesn't mean I won't try my best anyways!
Before we get started there are a few things I want to mention aside from the notes bellow, which is;
- DP Factor: Vlad is NOT Mayor of amity park.
- DP Factor: Phantom Planet never happened. I don't think it would be the best idea for everyone to know about Danny's secret in this one, plus we kind of need Vlad. Not that I liked that episode anyways.
- SK Factor: Because of events and the way things where played out, this is based on the Anime of Shaman King NOT the Manga. Not only is it easier to put this story into place since the (spoilers) Anime ended after the first Shaman Tournament. Although since I'm reading the Manga and like it better, there will be references to it and I will be using the original character names.
- SK Factor: Anna's still in Japan due to Shaman Tournament reasons, Hao (or Zeke)'s alive (not that anyone knows ;D) and Horo Horo (what's with that name anyways?) is still staying in the house, since I don't remember him actually living anywhere. I can still see him staying there anyways due to 'free service'.
- SK Factor: During the previous Shaman Fight, they where 13. Wiki says 13 so I'm sticking with that, although the Manga says otherwise. It just makes things progress better in the story, and you'll see why if you haven't found out why already.
- Parings Factor: I am not good with romance, and I'm not a typical shipper. So if there are any pairings, it will be slight romance between characters that show the most obvious show/manga wise or whatever is easiest to work with(as long as it has a good background) for BOTH areas. That means, yes, there is probably going to be a few mixes. I'll end up explaining more once I get to that part though.
Okay now that that's done, look at the notes bellow so you don't get confused and on with the story!
Blah = Thoughts
"Blah" = Spirit Talk
"Blah" = anything relating to the use of Furyoku
"Blah" = English Vocal
"Blah" = Japanese Vocal
Summary: It's been 2 years since the last Shaman Tournament and Hao was defeated in the middle of his crowning as Shaman King. Shamans are now gathering together again for another round, just as Danny is forced to go with Vlad to the very place the starting round is being held - Tokyo. Will Danny be able to keep his secret? What else is he hiding? And how is this all related to a long thought dead Yoh Asakura?

Danny's POV
Chapter 1
...To Japan we go!
Two years have passed since the last competition and since the incident... Time sure flies by fast, doesn't it?
I am Danny Fenton; at least that's what my name is nowadays. I'm 15 years old and presently living in the use-to-be-ordinary town of the now haunted Amity Park, located in New York, USA.
Regardless of my past; my life has been rather normal. Well... as normal as you can get while having ghost hunters as your parents. That took a lot of getting use to. I was shocked when they couldn't see full ghosts at first. Later on that changed and they started seeing full ghosts which was a relief to me. Why? I've been taught that only 'good' people can see spirits. But that opinion is starting to weaver.
Anyways, everything was pretty average until I reached 14. Why? On my 14th birthday, after some convincing from one of my best friends Sam Manson, I decided to try and fix my parents ghost portal. This was meant to be a portal between this world and the next. When I went to check it out, it was really dark and gloomy so I had to feel my way around. That's when I felt a metal desk-like object so I leaned against it, big mistake... I ended up pushing the "on" button by accident! A few minutes passed after that with nothing and then a large flash a light came which made me feel an immense amount of pain. I believe I was shocked with a large amount of ectoplasm, which is DNA for ghosts, it hurt a lot... So the consequences aren't that pretty and sometimes I think it comes with more cons then pros... But there's nothing I can do about it, the consequences will stick with me for the rest of eternity... I'm what's called a Halfa, which is someone who is half dead or generally referred to as being half ghost.
Who's my ghost half? Danny Phantom, Amity Park's local superhero with a similar name to my 'real' one. I'm surprised no one has figured it out yet, which is a good thing in the end because, although I protect this town, I'm still seen as a bad ghost or a 'villain' by some people; mainly the ghost hunters. All of the ghost hunters happen to see all ghosts as evil anyways... Though that's not true and I know that from experience. Some of the ghosts just want to be left in piece...
So needless to say I have yet to tell my parents about my alter ego. I'm too scared that they won't accept me since, despite all the alternate timeliness, they haven't given me a good reason. I won't get into too much detail other then the fact that; it still worries me.
That's all beside the point right now anyway. I'm busy packing up for a, reluctant on my part, trip to Tokyo Japan which I was so 'humbly' invited to by Vlad Masters... Of all people! Oh right, why is this bad again? At the college reunion I went to with my parents last year, I found out that he's also half ghost and the first half ghost hybrid out of 3... That should be good right? Wrong! He's done countless things against me and my parents, that of course my parents don't know about, which I haven't and won't forgive him for. In other words: he's my worst enemy.
So how ironic would it be to have him successfully convince my parents to let me go on a supposed 'vacation' with him half way across the world?
But, unfortunate for me, or was it fortunate? This trip was going to be way more eventful then I had originally planned for...
Narrative POV
Daniel "Danny" Fenton glared irritably at his suitcase. His eyes glowed a blazing electric green as he pitched the, thankfully, empty Fenton Thermos towards one of the walls of his bedroom. He followed it up with an ectoblast towards the same wall and a deep feral-sounding snarl.
Why do I have to go on vacation with Plasmius? Of all people! He thought irately still glaring bullets into the ground as he picked up the metal cylinder. Suddenly a small snicker escaped from his throat and a smirk twisted its way onto his lips. His green eyes turned blue again and narrowed in a light, yet dark, fashion which made him give off a sinister aura.
Well, if anything bad happens on this trip I could always cram him into the Fenton Thermos...The young half ghost mused to himself while packing said Fenton Thermos into the suitcase on his bed. The evil look that had planted itself on Danny's face soon vanished as he recalled something important.
Oh that's right! If I remember correctly Jazz was coming too... Although it won't stop Vlad from doing anything, at least I don't have to be alone with that fruit loop. Danny smiled at that thought. Although he would never admit it, it was good that she was coming along since if you stuck him and Vlad in the same room together chances are that the building would set on fire... all due to raging ectoblast.
Now that he finished packing the thermos under various sets of clothing and handheld video games that were stored away into his suitcase; Danny shoved the suitcase to the side so he could sit on his bed.
He looked himself up and down in the mirror as if debating on if he needed to change his clothing. Danny had black hair and deep blue eyes, he was wearing a pale creamy-white t-shirt with red trimming and a red circle on the chest area. Underneath his shirt was a necklace with 3 claws on it, safely tucked away so no one could see it. He had a pair of ragged blue jeans adorning his lower abdomen, as for his feat he wore white socks. Later on, when they had to leave, he would put on his pair of red and white running shoes.
I think I'll just leave with what I'm wearing, who cares what the cheese head thinks anyways. The hybrid thought, his mind sweeping over towards how he managed to get into this situation.
Flashback
School was out and it was summer vacation. Danny had just gotten home from his friend Sam's where he, Sam and Tucker watched movies for most of the evening.
Danny's smile fell when he saw who was sitting on the couch having a conversation with his mother; Vlad Masters.
"Danny guess what? Vlad invited you on vacation for the summer! Isn't that great?" His mother said in as kind a tone as possible.
"uh, Mom, I don't need to go on vacation..." Danny said with a slight mutter to his tone.
"Vlad said that it would be a good break from all these daily ghost attacks Danny. It's a great idea." His Mom told him.
"I'm fine with all the ghost attacks..." Danny replied. He didn't like where this conversation was going one bit.
"Such an unhealthy environment isn't good for you at such a young age Daniel." Vlad intervened with a light tone of voice. "In fact, having a little break from all these constant ghost attacks will do you good."
Says you... Danny thought irritably.
"Of course! Besides, you might get to learn more about our college days from Vladdie!" Jack busted in from the kitchen, a plate of cookies in hand.
Seeing as he hadn't won that argument, Danny decided to ask one question. "Where is it?"
"Tokyo" Vlad responded.
"Tokyo? Isn't that in Japan?"
"Yes."
A beat.
"Is it really safe for me to go out of the states? Isn't there a whole bunch of paperwork?"
"Yes Daniel, we've already covered that."
A wince.
"But I don't speak Japanese!" Came the last reply from Danny with one thought in mind, Okay... that's a lie... But it's valid!
"But I do, therefore you don't have to worry." Vlad stated, winning the conversation.
"Fine..." Danny muttered glumly, his eyes narrowed into a harsh glare.
Shortly after that conversation, Jazz came down wondering about the conversation. Because she want her brother alone with Vlad, she had told them that Danny wasn't going unless she went with them. Everyone agreed to that, which was a relief to Danny.
Danny ended up making a call to Sam and Tucker's, speaking to them about what happened.
End Flashback
Danny's thoughts were interrupted by a loud knock on his bedroom door and then the sound of his sister, Jasmine "Jazz" Fenton, calling him.
"Hurry up little brother. Vlad showed up pretty early, he's already downstairs." She said. Danny looked in the direction of her voice and nodded. Jazz also knew about Vlad and his attempts against the Fenton family. So like Danny, she hated him and also shared a similar opinion about him being a 'fruit loop' or otherwise crazy. She was 17 years old, two years older than Danny and had long orange/brown hair and teal eyes. She had a teal headband in her hair, and wore a black top with a pair of blue jeans.
Danny rolled his eyes in annoyance. Vlad shouldn't even be here this early! he thought and walked out the door, following his sister.
Just as they got half way down the stairs they spotted that very person standing in the doorway and talking to their parents. Vlad didn't look very happy about talking with their dad.
"Oh no, no I shouldn't intrude!" Vladimir "Vlad" Masters said. His annoyance dissipated when he spotted Danny heading down the stairs. He flashed a cocky smile towards the younger hybrid while his parent's weren't looking. Vlad had silver hair, which could be mistaken for white or gray, and had dull blue eyes. His outfit was the most formal out of anyone; he was wearing a black dress-jacket with a white undershirt, black pants and black dress shoes. He wore a red tie to boot.
Great, he saw me. Danny thought meekly. It was obvious by the situation that Vlad had been asked to attend breakfast, of course Vlad being as humble as he was wouldn't dare think of intruding on family time... Though Danny believed him to be more of a conman than polite, in which he was right.
"No way V-man! You're not intruding on anything!" The voice of Danny's father, Jack Fenton, announced. He was wearing an orange HAZMATT suit and was a bit on the chubby side. He had black hair with bits of white showing in the back, along with dark greyish-blue eyes. "You can even sit next to Danny!" He continued with an over-enthusiastic voice.
Great, just what I wanted... Danny thought sarcastically, casting a small glare towards Vlad. Obviously he did not want that to happen.
"Well, if you insist." Vlad replied, his smile growing larger.
Oh I do not like where this is heading... Danny thought, one eye twitching in slight annoyance.
"Well of course we do!" Danny's Mom, Madeline "Maddie" Fenton insisted. She wasn't much of a Vlad 'fanatic' either, although that didn't stop her from trying to be polite to her ex-collage-friend. "How could we not treat our friend to breakfast?"Her voice sounded forced. Maddie was wearing a blue hooded HAZMATT suit, matching her husband. She had orange/brown hair like her daughter, and bright purple eyes.
"Oh alright; how can I resist such a kind offer?" Vlad replied and flashed another cocky smile towards Danny, which his parent's had mistaken as a kind-hearted smile instead. Danny flashed a glare back at him.
I definatly don't like where this is heading... Danny thought again, continuing down the stairs. Why'd I decide to stay here again? Oh right, karma.
I can't believe I'm going on vacation with this guy! Danny thought as he stormed out the door. Breakfast wasn't as horrible as he thought, but a few minor incidents occurred which made him infuriated.
At least I got him back... He mused, another dark smirk forming across his face.
Flashback
Vlad had won that round, again. Currently they were at the table, eating breakfast, with Vlad sitting next to Danny. Meanwhile Danny was glaring daggers at Vlad in-between bites.
Vlad shot a small ectobeam out of his finger from under the table at Danny who let out a small grunt.
"What'd you do that for!" He growled under his breath towards Vlad.
"Do what, little badger?" Vlad remarked with a smirk, making Danny growl. Vlad let out another ectobeam while Danny wasn't looking. Danny turned his head to face the older Halfa; if looks could kill Vlad would be a full ghost right now. Although that didn't seem to scare Vlad one bit.
"Oh you're not going to shoot an ectobeam at me are you? Ho- ouch!" He was cut off in mid reply by a low-powered ectoblast from Danny, who sat there smiling and acting as if nothing happened other than the occasional mumbling that Vlad could have sworn was in another language.
The rest of breakfast was relatively quiet, since the two hybrids where now getting awkward looks.
End Flashback
Danny turned to look at Jazz who looked like she was having trouble with her stuff, in reality she was actually making a checklist of all the stuff she had in her bag. Danny rolled his eyes once he realized what she was doing. "Jazz I'm pretty sure you have everything." He said, glancing between Jazz and Vlad's butler's who happened to be the ones carrying the luggage.
Jazz stopped with her checklist and let the butler's take the stuff away, "I'm just making sure Danny." She told her brother and followed him out the door and then into Vlad's limo. With that, Vlad gave a signal and the driver drove off.
After a few moments of silence Vlad decided to speak. "It's so nice of you to come with me on this trip." He said rather smugly.
"Actually my parents made me go. I didn't want to." The 15 year old stated, emphasising the 'I'. Then he continued, If you weren't such a conman I-" Danny's reply was interrupted by the older Halfa.
"I'll take that as a compliment"
"Shut up." Danny growled and turned his head to look out the window, ignoring Vlad's smirk.
"Now Daniel, don't be like that." Vlad continued. Jazz was ignoring the whole subject, when it came to this it was best not to interrupt since they'd ignore you anyways.
So it ended up as pointless bickering between the two Halfas for most of the trip towards the air port. That is, until Danny made a certain comment that made them stop.
"Why are we going to Tokyo anyways? You never go on vacation just for vacation!" Which in all aspects where true, if Vlad went on vacation it would often be for a business trip.
The next sentence nearly made Danny's heart stop, inwardly he regretted asking.
"We're going to see my niece Anna, there's a bit of important business I have to attend to there that revolves around her." Vlad replied.
Danny gritted his teeth for a second before asking another question, the last part being a bit of an inside joke.
"Anna Masters? You have family?"
"Yes I have Family!" Was his first reply, how can the boy think that? Master's thought furiously. "No Daniel." Vlad growled out, Anna Kyōyama."
The moment that name came from Vlad's mouth Danny felt like his heart would stop again, Her? He thought, unable to comprehend any other decent thought. He wasn't one to panic about names but this was a different situation.
He gulped and let out a breath he didn't realize he was holding.
"Daniel/Danny? Are you alright?" Jazz and Vlad asked simultaneously. Jazz sent a glare towards Vlad before checking Danny's forehead for a fever.
Danny shoved her hand away and then looked out the window.
"I'm fine Jazz." He stated shaking his head. This is sooo not going to end well... He thought as they pulled into the airport.
A/N: And that's the end of chapter 1! Were they in character enough? Was I okay with including people? As for the writing in general I personally think that it could be a little better, so I'll be looking for a beta reader (once I find out how I'm suppose to even do that). So, I'll be busy working on chapter 2. Now, a few more things I'd like to jot down;
1) Anna is related to Vlad in this, don't ask why. I don't hate Anna, they just seem to resemble each other in personality a little though don't you think? ;3 Also the fact that neither's families where really shown (show wise for Shaman King at least) etc.
2) Where all the butlers disappeared too, I have no idea. I might end up editing that in the future though if I come up with anything better, for now I can't seem to think up with anything to replace that.
3) Vlad, in this, has relatives in Japan so he does speak Japanese. Danny does too, but that's for a different reason that will be explained in later chapters.
4) Anna is still 'engaged' to Yoh due to the Asakura family not believing he's dead, but I will be using her actual last name instead of "Anna Asakura".
5) Encase anyone here likes title cards, here's this one: http: /i40. servimg. com/u /f40 /14 /50 /74/39/ dp_ sha10. jpg (remove spaces)
In the meantime, R&R! Ta~!
