Chapter 1
Second Round Second Meeting
After months of training and travelling we were finally there in Dobi Village. There had been so many group fights already and both our teams, Team Asakura and Team Len were doing really well, they'd defeated everyone they'd had so far, but there were still many Shaman to beat. I found the matches nerve racking but exciting to watch and so did Ana, Pilika, Tamara and Jun, we always used to sit in the best spots to see them win another fit but after when all the fun of the fights was over, it was always…
"Yoh hurry up you still have twenty laps to go!" screamed Ana as Yoh rushed past her for the fiftieth time.
"Oh Ana can't I stop? What if I have a match tomorrow, I'll be totally wiped out," whined Yoh.
"No slacking!" she cried making him run again. Yep Ana kept up the training programs, word from Trey was Pilika was being the same way with him and he was getting sick of eating the Chinese food Len always ordered. Jaco didn't seem to mind though, he always did try to see the funny side, even though Trey and Len did always seem to beat him for it. Ryu was having a good time though, Ana of course was making him train too but I always felt she was harder on Yoh and as for Faust, well he spent most of his time with Eliza in between the matches. Me, I was still errand boy, but Faust did often help me with the groceries.
One day we were walking back from the shops when I saw two newcomers in the square. Two hooded figures standing beside a fountain and their faces were completely covered. I'd seen them other times and I had guessed they were Shaman but no body knew which team they were or even who they were, one rumour even suggested they weren't wearing Oracle Bells meaning they weren't part of the tournament. They looked our way and then vanished.
"Faust, did you see them?" I asked nervously.
"See who Morty?" asked Faust who'd obviously not been paying attention, even though he never seemed to blink Faust didn't seem to see much either.
"Those hooded figures, they just disappeared," I replied.
"Nope," he smiled uninterested and we carried on.
Later that night I told Yoh about the figures.
"Probably just Shaman who like to keep to themselves," smiled Yoh.
"But Mysterious Shaman, you know how dangerous that could be," I worried.
"Don't worry Morty, if they're another team Ryu, Faust and I will take them," smiled Yoh.
"Do you have a match tomorrow?" I asked.
"Yep, Team Sora, according to Ana they all have Bird Spirits," replied Yoh.
The next day we all went to the stadium to watch Team Asakura win another victory. The other team were all women, one with a Raven Spirit, one with an Eagle Spirit and one with a Phoenix Spirit, as you can guess the Phoenix was the leader, in fact I don't know why they weren't called Team Phoenix. As we watched them fight I looked around the stadium and there on one of the hanging rooftops of the stadium were the two figures, they seemed very interested in the match, they were quite close but I still could not see their faces but this time they did look at me and not vanish. The match was suddenly over and Yoh and the others had won.
"Morty, are you coming to see Yoh?" asked Ana.
"Yeah, sure Ana I'll be there in a minuet," I replied but as I saw the figures walk away I followed them.
They walked off into the wood surrounding Dobi Village and although I was far enough behind so they wouldn't see me, I could still hear their conversation.
"He's here you know," said the tall one, he was obviously male.
"I know," replied the other, it was a girl with a voice like a sigh.
"Shall we reveal ourselves to him, he's seen us enough times and after that win, you know," asked the first.
"Are they talking about Yoh?" I wondered. The two removed their hoods but I could only see the backs of their heads. The male had really long blue hair and the girl had thick cape-like black hair.
"So we are going to then?" said the man, I saw the girl nod. I expected them to vanish and go find Yoh but instead,
"It's ok Morty, we know you're there," said the girl. I froze, they'd meant me, I couldn't believe it, I was scared, I didn't know if they were friendly.
"Hay I'm not here!" I cried hiding behind a tree. The two turned round to where I stood behind the tree and when I looked out I couldn't believe the faces I saw.
"Yemi! Akuma! It's only you!" I cried coming out.
"Surprise Morty," giggled Yemi and I ran out to hug her.
"I can't believe you're here!" I cried happily before thinking of the reason she'd be here, "Wait, you're not?" Yemi smiled and revealed her amulet, she was still free.
"But there are so many Shaman, why are you here?" I asked worried.
"Yemi couldn't keep hiding and wanted to see how you and your friends were doing in the Tournament so we found our way to Dobi Village to watch," explained Akuma.
"This is so great, I can't believe you're here, I've missed you Yemi," I smiled happily.
"Me too my friend, well, since you know I'm here, let's go see the others!" smiled Yemi.
"Oh you got it!" I replied leading them away.
Luckily we were all staying in the same place at the moment and so everyone could say hello again. I rushed in and at first just Yoh and Ana were there.
"Yoh! Ana! Look who I found!" I said coming in. Yemi and Akuma removed the robes fully and smiled.
"Hay, it's good to see you two again, how you been?" asked Yoh, even Ana gave a small smile.
"Could it be? I don't believe it! Miss Yemi you're back!" cried Ryu entering the room.
"Hi Ryu," smiled Yemi.
"You gotta be kidding dude!" cried Trey rushing in but it was true, "Oh my gosh you're really here!"
"It's so good to see everyone again," smiled Yemi.
"Oh this isn't everyone," smiled Yoh absentmindedly.
"What do you mean?" asked Akuma looking to Yemi.
"Since you left us we have accumulated a few more friends," replied Ana.
"Hay guys what's for supper I'm starved," said Jaco entering, "Wow, who's the babe?" Yemi laughed and Jaco blushed.
"I didn't even have to say a joke and she thinks I'm funny," he swooned, "hay did you here the one about…"
"Crack that joke and I'll crack your neck!" cried Trey angrily.
"Who are you?" said Akuma.
"Name's Jaco, the worlds funniest Shaman," he announced.
"Oh yeah funny to who!" shouted Trey.
"Obviously to the lovely lady over there," replied Jaco. Yemi giggled again and said,
"Hi Jaco, I'm Yemi, and this is Akuma."
"Pleased to meet you," he smiled happily.
"When you said there was a lovely lady in here, were you talking about my Eliza?" smiled Faust arriving.
"Faust! Look, those hooded people I told you about, here they are!" I called to him and he came over. Yemi looked at him and then hid under her hair as if she were frightened again, what I couldn't see was she was blushing.
"And who is this?" asked Faust taking her hand.
"Yemi," she squeaked her voice breaking.
"You have a lovely hand, when you die can I borrow it?" asked Faust and Yemi giggled coming out from under her hair again.
"You've got a really pretty face now I can see you," he smiled.
"Thank you," smiled Yemi.
"And you are?" asked Faust directing his attention to Akuma.
"My name is Akuma, and I advise you to keep your comments to yourself," he glared. Faust tilted his head to one side and then went to sit down.
"What's wrong?" whispered Yemi.
"I don't like him talking to you like that," he replied.
"He was just being nice, don't worry," she told him.
Soon we were all sitting around chatting and having a laugh, but then things got complicated.
"Sorry I'm late guys," said Len entering, then he noticed Yemi.
"You!" he gasped.
"You!" screamed Yemi leaping behind Akuma for protection. This was my fault, I'd forgotten about Len being on our side now.
"So you made it here too," glared Akuma.
"I don't see why you're here, some other Shaman claim rights to her?" asked Len.
"Why you!" growled Akuma.
"Hay! Calm down, it's alright Akuma, Len's on our side now," explained Yoh.
"You're not serious," squeaked Yemi.
"It's all right now, Len's a good guy now," he replied.
"Yemi let's get out of here," said Akuma and they vanished.
"Yemi," I sighed.
"Whoa cool trick!" exclaimed Jaco.
"Yes that certainly was," said Faust, "but why did she flip when she saw Len?"
"Humph!" huffed Len leaving.
"When Yemi was around before, Len imprisoned her," said Ana bluntly.
"I knew he was mean but come on!" exclaimed Jaco.
"Wait a minuet, I believe Ana, I remember what a little pest he used to be," said Faust sternly.
"Yeah but come on guys, that was months ago and Len's changed, we should all be able to get along right?" said Yoh optimistic.
"Yoh after everything Len did to her, I don't think Yemi and Akuma are willing to forgive just cause he's changed," replied Ana and Yoh sighed and agreed.
I ran off to find her, I was really sorry for my forgetfulness and wanted to apologise.
"Yemi! Yemi!" I called and then I heard a small call from a tree.
"I'm up here Morty," it was Yemi. She came down but seemed really wary.
"I'm really sorry Yemi, I'd forgotten about Len," I said.
"After all he did, why are you all friends with him?" she asked distressed.
"Len was like that cause of his uncle, but we beat his uncle and Len joined up with us, he's still a royal pain sometimes but he's grown a real sense of compassion now, Jun has too," I explained.
"So the Do Shi is here too? I thought I was safe to reveal myself, but now, I'll have to hide again so he doesn't try to fight me," sobbed Yemi as Akuma appeared.
"He won't, you defeated him remember, he can't challenge you again, and neither Jaco or Faust know you're a Caller, you're safe with us," I replied.
"I trust you Morty, I told you before you were different from other humans, but as for that Faust, I wouldn't trust him with anything," glared Akuma, it seemed even mentioning his name was enough to get Akuma riled up. I looked at Yemi, she didn't seem as sure as Akuma that Faust was a bad person, she even seemed saddened by Akuma's anger towards him.
"Morty, we have to go, I promise I won't leave but just for now I want to stay as far from Len as possible before I can learn to trust him as you all have," said Yemi.
"I understand, it's hard after what he did to you, don't worry, Yoh and I will always be there to help you," I replied as she vanished.
"So why did Len imprison her?" asked Jaco. Ana and Yoh looked at each other.
"Ana we can't tell them the story can we? I mean you know what she is, would it be safe for others to know?" asked Yoh.
"She's a Caller Yoh and I think she could handle Jaco, besides she's put herself in danger being here without a Shaman Master, it makes her fare game in a village full of ambitious Shaman," replied Ana, "Len imprisoned her because she's a Demon Caller Jaco."
"A what?" asked Jaco.
"Ah I thought so, I could tell when I spoke to her she's no Shaman, her demon is very protective," smiled Faust.
"D, Demon?" stuttered Jaco.
"What's the matter Jaco? You a little scared?" teased Trey.
"No!" snapped Jaco.
"Akuma is nothing to be scared of unless you anger him or threaten Yemi," explained Ryu.
"So he imprisoned her because she has a demon as her Guardian Ghost?" questioned Jaco. Ana and Yoh told them the story from before, this left Jaco a little more scared of her power and Faust even more impressed.
"I can see now why Len would want her, she certainly would be of use," he smiled.
"Faust don't you start getting any ideas dude," warned Trey.
"Of course not, I have Eliza, I don't need her," he said leaving. Len was outside with Jun, he was still rather angry she'd returned.
"I can't believe it Jun!" he shouted angrily.
"You shouldn't dwell on this, she spared your life, maybe you should make it up to her," replied Jun.
"Make it up to her! Jun she should still be mine, more than that I was defeated by a mere girl how can I let go of such a humiliation!" growled Len.
"Yoh was defeated too and he's happy to be friendly towards her," urged Jun but Len didn't want to hear himself compared to Yoh. Then Faust came out.
"What do you want?" asked Len rudely.
"I wanted to know more about that Demon Caller Yemi, you were her master for a time I hear, maybe you can tell me about her?" replied Faust.
"You going to try your luck," laughed Len.
"I might, I haven't decided, it certainly is an interesting opportunity," he replied.
"Well I can tell you first that you'll be defeated quickly. Yemi is very powerful and Akuma is extremely protective of her, their relationship is similar to you and Eliza, only Akuma isn't dead," smiled Len. Faust laughed, he could see his point.
"I defeated her by sheer numbers and by attacking Akuma first I opened her up to attack," continued Len.
"Thank you Len, please don't tell the others, I still don't know if I will challenge her, but I would rather no one knew I was interested," said Faust walking off.
"Do you think he'll stand a chance?" asked Jun.
"No, he's far to weak to defeat her," replied Len confidently.
That night I talked to Yoh some more about it, I still felt a little annoyed I could forget about something as important as Len's treatment of her.
"You're worried about Yemi aren't you," said Yoh as I sat on my bed.
"Yeah, seeing Len again must've frightened her so much," I replied.
"Hay remember she's a good actress, she could be faking it," smiled Yoh trying to cheer me up.
"I don't know Yoh. Anyway, I'm more worried about her actually being here, it's great seeing her, but it's not safe," I replied worried.
"Yemi could probably take every Shaman here," replied Yoh.
"Not Zeek, what if Zeek got hold of her secret, or the X-Laws!" I exclaimed and Yoh realised my worry.
"I see your point Morty, if the X-Laws found out about her she could become their secret weapon in the fight against Zeek, but if Zeek got hold of her, not only would she be tortured far worse than Len but this world could be lost, remember when Len took full control of her, she didn't even know you Morty," replied Yoh.
"Yemi doesn't even know about the fight with Zeek she's just here to watch, she could be so easily sucked into all this," I worried.
"I know, we have to tell her tomorrow, tell her it would be best if she leaves," said Yoh.
"Good idea," I replied and it was decided we'd go look for her as soon as the sun came up.
