Disclaimer: I don't own Shaman King! and that's the last time I'll say that in my story!
P.s. I might not include any of the spirits in this story, but I'll try to add them...
Chapter 1- NightmaresNightmares plagued him almost daily, for almost three months now . . . he never finished them . . . they were just too horrible to finish . . . he didn't know why he had them, just that he did. Many of the dreams were of him being hunted by something ancient, evil . . . seeking something. Powers, it was seeking powers in him he didn't even know existed. How he had gained these powers, he can't remember. It was too long ago . . . again today he had the dream . . . the same dream that he could never finish. The brunette haired boy sat up in bed drenched in sweat without alerting the other shorter boy, he has long learned not to scream when waking when this happened, all his friends would be concerned by that . . . he didn't want to worry his friends with a stupid dream
After doing nine, exhausting laps on Anna's "horror" route, Yoh wanted to collapse right on the spot, just like anyone else, but noooo... He still had to do 6 more.
"Yoh! You didn't finish your daily run!" The strict blonde yelled at her brown haired fiance. Yoh winced. On the sidelines, a boy who looks like a 5-years-old and a girl with pink hair wonder in silence and sheer amazement at how Yoh can actually handle Anna's anger.
"Wow." Manta muttered, but whimpered, when he saw Anna's unmatchable death glare.
"Anna . . . I can't feel my legs any more . . ." Yoh's legs were barely supporting him as he wavered from side to side.
"Stop whining! You need to practice for the marathon next week!" yelled Anna as rivers of anime tears started pouring down Yoh's face
"Can't I rest for a while? I've been running for 15 km every day now!"
" No! You only ran 9 km today! There's still 6 km to go!" As Anna glared at Yoh angrily, Yoh moaned "sigh ok . . ." He left the house and starts running on the route assigned to him ever since he had to start running 15 km every day...
"Yoh! I see someone up ahead!" The spirit had floated above Yoh to tell him which way to go, but then he had spotted someone.
" Really?" There was someone on the ground, a blue haired boy. There was a moment of recognition. The boy seemed to have longer hair then last time he visited
"Horo Horo! Are you ok? ..." an edge of panic entered his voice. The boy wasn't moving, just like the 1st time they met years ago, before they became friends
"sigh he must have collapsed from hunger again . . ." Yoh remembered when Horo Horo visited two months before, Yoh had found Horo Horo fainted from hunger like now. The same thing happened a few months before that too . . .
"What are we gonna do Master Yoh?"
"Well . . . We are pretty close to the shops. We could carry him there, and I have my money." Yoh lifted Horo Horo up and swung his right arm around his friend as he walked toward the close's bakery shop.
"Amidamaru, you stay outside with Horo Horo, we don't want him sleep eating again . . ." vague memories of when Yoh brought Horo Horo into a cake shop, asleep, floated past his mind's eye. Horo Horo, without warning sprang at the cakes asleep and ate . . . and ate . . . and ate . . . till the store manager had to splash him with cold water through the 3rd cake . . .Amidamaru let out a hearty laughter
"yes, Master Yoh.".
"I'll be right back" Yoh ducked into the shop and went straight up to the counter. He bought a fruit pastry topped with strawberries and cream before leaving the shop "Done!" Yoh took the pastry out of the bag and lowered it under Horo Horo's nose . . . the boy sniffed. Then again. He sprang forwards gobbling up the pastry. Then his eyes slowly opened, peering at Yoh
"Yoh!"
"Hi Horo Horo!" Yoh let out a huge smile as Horo Horo stomach lets out a loud grumble
"awe . . . man . . . thanks for the food and stuff but . . . I'm still hungry . . ." the two boys laughed, then started talking as they walked back to Yoh's house
"I'm home!"
"Yo . . .What's he doing here!" Anna had spotted Horo Horo and glared at him.
"umm. Well . . ." even though it's been so long since he visited, Horo Horo still remembered Anna's anger . . . "Its time for the annual reunion!"
"oh! I forgot!" Yoh had his hands on his head. They had all promised to reunite every year at the same time that Hao died, at Yoh and Anna's house. Now Yoh, Anna, Manta, and Tamao's house
"Forgot!"Asked Horo Horo in disbelief "But I sent you a reminder that I was coming days ago . . ."
"Are you sure you sent it right?" Manta asked, expecting Horo Horo to say yes
"well . . . I can't really remember . . . I wrote it, and um . . . oh!" Remembrance filled the features on his face "I left it on the table and left to come here!"
"BAKA!" Anna punches him out of agitation
"Anna . . ." Yoh said nervously afraid Anna would turn on him...
"um. dinner's ready . . ." Piped up Tamao who was sort of hiding behind the dinner tray
"Thanks Tamao!"
As they ate "Well, if its time for the reunion again. Then when are they coming?" Asked Manta curiously
"By my guesses . . . tomorrow!" Answered Horo Horo
"Really? Then what about your sister? Why didn't she come with you?" Tamao asked shyly, like always.
"She had something to tend to. That's what she told me, but she'll be here in two days at least".
"Really?" Tamao smiled happily. They ate their dinner in quiet, only when Horo Horo accidentally make rude noises, was there noise of Anna killing him
A dream, a different one, but one he felt he already lived...he was running ...couldn't remember from what...There was a heavy sadness in his heart as he ran...a loneliness he didn't feel ever since he was young. He didn't like it, he tried to ignore the feeling but it just grew worse. Then there was only darkness and voices...many voices, saying his name...calling out to him...he felt a surge of power inside of him, it hurt...there was just too much of it. He screamed, not just in his dream, but in real life to.
