This is my first fanfic, so go easy on me with the review. Truth is, I had written this chapter a month ago, but then I lost the papers I had written it on. Now a few things before I begin:
I have finished the english dub of the anime, but I only own the first two volumes of the manga, so any shaman king fanfic I write will be done from this point of view. In other words, I will be using english anime names and anime exclusive characters, but things such as the reasons behind Yoh and Anna's engagement (the dub's version doesn't work too well for me) will be done from the manga point of view if stated at all.
Now that that's out of the way:
Disclaimer: I don't own Shaman King, and I wouldn't be able to do it justice if I did.
Enjoy!

Shinra Private Academy
One week after the defeat of Zeke and the disappearance of Dobi Village
It was Friday. The bell rang, signaling the beginning of lunch. The students who ate in the classrooms all quickly assembled into groups of friends. One group, however, was slightly, but noticeably, apart from any of the other groups.
The group consisted of a brown, spiky-haired boy with headphones who was trying to take a nap on his desk. He was prevented, however, by the girl sitting next to him, who had dirty-blonde, shoulder-length hair and an annoyed scowl on her face. Whenever the boy came close to dozing off, the girl would press her foot on top of his, almost squishing it flat. The third and final member of the group, a very small boy with beige hair, was sighing at his friend's anguish and browsing through a dictionary.
"Come on, Anna! Please let me take a nap! Even a really short one?" the brown haired boy moaned.
"No way, Yoh," the girl replied sharply. "You nearly slept in again, like you have been doing all week. As punishment for nearly making us all late, you won't be allowed any sleep until tomorrow evening. In addition, you are hereby forbidden from going to the bathroom until that time tomorrow as well due to whining nonstop all morning, and no going in your pants either. I don't think Morty will enjoy cleaning that up when doing the laundry," the last statement referring to the short boy who was busy reading.
"Poor Yoh," thought Morty. "Some things never change."
Morty thought back to all the adventures they had had since he had met Yoh. Making new shaman friends, saving Len from his family, searching for Dobi Village, competing in the tournament, beating Zeke…WAIT A MINUTE!
A thought just occurred to Morty. Since they had finally defeated Zeke, the biggest threat to man and shaman kind alike, shouldn't they celebrate?
Morty risked clearing his throat to get Anna and Yoh's attention. "Umm, guys? Since we just beat Zeke not too long ago, shouldn't we throw a party or something? I mean the Shaman Tournament is currently on hold and everything, so it shouldn't be a problem."
Anna and Yoh took a moment to look at each other before either of them spoke. Yoh was the first to respond, "Y'know what, Morty? That's a great idea! How about it, Anna?"
Anna took a sip of her drink and sighed. "Oh, alright! But you guys are in charge of decorations and sending out invitations. No complaints! I'll get Rio to cook up a feast."
"What about you, Anna?" Morty asked without thinking of the possible consequences.
"I'LL be picking out music. And don't think you're punishment is lifted, Yoh! It's a good way of learning to endure pain, so think of it as training so that you're not rusty when the tournament starts up again."
It was decided that the party would be held at their place, a week from Saturday, meaning they had little more than a week to prepare. While Yoh and Morty were silently celebrating the fact that Anna had allowed them to throw a party, three other people on the other side of the room were watching the friends, trying to figure out what could be going on between the three of them.
Hope you liked chapter one. I have no idea when I'll update this story, for I still need to think out the next few chapters a little more before typing them up, so please be patient. Please review, for I'd like to know what to improve on and maybe ideas of what to include for later story. See ya later!
