Summary: Yoh and the others aren't shamans. They are the kids of the town Hiyoshi, where the mayor of the town is unaffected by the prime minister of Japan. Now they are in their last year of highschool, and have to go through the "test". But this test is a matter of life, death, and control…
Me: Yay! I get to post! XD Sorry if the summary's vague, it's just that I don't want to give away the plot…
Yoh: Hi Kim! It's me! The shaman boy that sat 3 hours in front of a river for fun!
Me: Uh… yeah Kim, you might not want to read because there are spoilers for you in here. Go to wikipedia and type shaman king and see the character profiles. Click on the characters names to get a picture. Let's begin the prologue!
-PROLOGUE-
There was a creepy clockwork feel to the supposedly perfect town, Hiyoshi. At exactly 6:30 am, kids ages 14-18 are out the door from their house and stand there for a minute. Once an exact minute has passed, they walk casually in a straight line to the only high school in the city. No pushing, no shoving, no talking, or else there would be punishments. Once the students reached the school, they started becoming a little less stiff. But there was no yelling, no real emotion. Like they were people that lived in a retirement home, instead of teenagers that were still in highschool.
The Asakura twins were just sitting next to each other against the wall. Hao, on the left, with his long brown hair that went past his waist was being used as a pillow to his sleeping twin Yoh. Even though the boys were twins, their appearances were slightly different. Hao's skin was a soft tan, whilst Yoh's was ivory white. Yoh's hair was only shoulder length, and Hao had long, beautiful hair that shined even without light. Even though that they were twins, you could obviously tell that Hao was the muscular of the two boys because of the way the school uniform clung to his body whilst Yoh's still looked baggy.
Hao started playing with his brother's hair, starting to feel bored. Every day at school, it's like this. Everyone is supposed to arrive here between 6:45-7:15 am (for the kids who lived farther in the corner parts of town), and was supposed to use this little free time from now until 8:00 am to be imperfect. After all, the mayor said that it's hard to be perfect all the time, but just let your imperfections out in small doses.
"Hey Hao, what's up?" a bored sounding voice asked. Hao looked up to see it was the blonde haired girl Anna Kyouyama, with her traditional red bandana.
"Not much. Just being used as Yoh's pillow," he said, hugging Yoh a little tighter. Anna smiled. Hao got jealous very easily. Everyone knew what was happening between the two brothers. But it still didn't stop Anna for liking Yoh.
Just then, a short Chinese boy with soft purple hair came in, waving at Hao and Anna. Though, you wouldn't think that his hair was soft, for it looked so pointy that you could harpoon someone with it.
"We have the test today, we should all be doing what Yoh is doing," he said. Hao's hug instinctively got a little tighter, but not enough for Yoh to wake up.
"I suppose Ren, but I'm the older brother. Yoh needs rest more than me," Hao said. The Chinese boy and Anna rolled their eyes.
"He's not a baby you know," Ren said, after all, Yoh could beat anyone up if he tried. The thing was though, he just was too lazy… or too kind, Ren didn't know which.
Then the bell rang. 7:55 am, warning bell, time for students to go to class. And you don't want to know the punishments for being late. Hao's left arm stayed behind Yoh's back, and he gently shoved his arm under Yoh's knees so he could lift his brother up bridal style. Anna set the twins' book bags on top of Yoh, knowing that he wouldn't wake up. The four then scattered and then headed for their class…
-CLASS A-1 (top class)-
Hao sat down in his seat, and set Yoh in his seat which was conveniently beside his. He was an expert at this by now, and without a sweat, he propped Yoh up in a seating position and still made sure he didn't wake up. Though, he knew in 2 more minutes, like perfect clockwork, Yoh would wake up 1 second before the 8:00 am bell rang.
Ring! Ring!
Yoh was already wide awake now, and just smiled at his twin. Hao gave a small smile back, and then the two paid attention to the teacher, who arrived when the bell rang. He held a small disk in his hand, and just said, "Please pay attention to this video. Everything you need to know what to do on the test is on this video," he said. It's not like he needed to though. Everybody in this town was a perfect student. There wasn't such a thing as not getting 100 percent here, otherwise you were banished.
The teacher put the disk into the computer, and the image appeared on the wall. He turned off more lights, so the graphics on the screen were more visible.
It was a cheery girl with short black hair that was tied in cute pigtails. Her clothes were bright and skin tight, showing off her curves. Though, the students could notice that her curves weren't perfect. After all, it was hard not to think of perfection when it was desperately strived here.
"Good morning students! My name is Ima, and I'm here to tell you about the test. This is a special test, given to people in their last year of high school," she said. The camera followed her as she started walking to a white table that was full of silver metal collars.
"Now, as you see, we all know you students are the brightest of the bright! So this test is all about showing off your physical strength. These collars here, are step one in the test," she said, holding one up. "You are supposed to attach them around your neck so the government can monitor your heart beat and blood flow. If this is confusing you now, then don't be concerned. You'll soon find out what they are for once I explain everything," she said with a giggle. But for some reason, it seemed suspicious.
She then grabbed a bag from under the table and put it on the table.
"Each student is given a bag. You see, the goal is to kill all the people on your island first-
All the students didn't react. They knew she was being serious (comedy isn't allowed in the town Hiyoshi), but they didn't protest. For they were supposed to be the perfect offspring that did everything that they were told.
"And if there is no specific winner, then all the collars on that island explode and everyone dies," she said, making hand motions for a big explosion. It would have been cute if you put the volume on mute and couldn't read lips. Who would want to hear aout that anyways? Then she pulled a sniper rifle out of the bag. "In each bag, there is a first aid kit, a lighter, some dried food, and a random weapon. This student's lucky!" that cheery voice was now haunting.
Wouldn't you think so after you were told that the reason so many people were labeled "banished" because they really died?
"Now, don't even try to take off the collars little ones. Because if you do, it'll explode automatically and kill you! So remember, kill everyone on the island in 5 days, and if there is no winner, then everyone dies. Well now, let's go there and have fun!" she jumped, like they were going to dive in a pool of chocolate instead of slaughter one another…
