Shaman King: Combat Evolved.

Introduction

Yo everyone. Welcome to my first fanfic, "Shaman king: Combat evolved." As you may or may not have guessed it is a Shaman King/Halo crossover. For the shaman king section its set after round two of the tournament while the Halo half is set after the end of Halo 3. The first few chapters don't involve Halo so just enjoy the S.K. bit while it lasts and wait for the covenant.

Chapter 1: Yoh's normal kind of day.

The sun had just risen to the highest point in the sky as Yoh Asakura rounded the last corner of his run. The intense summer heat made the horizon pulse and shimmer as he approached his house. Sweat drenched his clothes and glistened on his skin. He had been running since 9:00am as part of his shaman training, designed by his fiancée Anna. To make the training harder she had also made him wear heavy wrist and ankle weights while trying to work out a complicated algebra question in his head. She said that he might as well use his head for something rather than just a dead weight.

Yoh staggered up the steps into his garden then lumbered up to his front door. He slowly lifted his arm and turned the handle. Before he could pull it open it was pushed from the other side causing the door to smash into Yoh's head. For a few moments all went quiet then a sharp, female voice penetrated the silence.

"You're late." Stated Anna

"Sorry Anna." Yoh said nervously.

"What's done is done. No point in getting annoyed."

"You mean you're not mad."

"No I'm not mad."

"Phew. After running around the entire town ten times I'm exhausted. I'm so glad you're not angry with me as well. I just want to sit down and eat."

"I just have one small favour to ask you though."

"And what's that."

"I'm thirsty and we're out of milk. I need you to go buy some for me.

"Aww man, but Anna, the store is at the far side of town. Couldn't you just have something else?"

Anna's eyes suddenly gave a fiery stare at Yoh. For that instant Anna was more scary to Yoh than Hao's guardian ghost, Spirit of Fire. No amount of pain in his tired legs was going to make him keep Anna waiting so he quickly ran back towards the town.

Anna called back to Yoh as he reached the gates. "Oh and Yoh, you can take small fry with you before he can annoy me any more."

"Hey. I haven't done anything. I was just sat still." Protested Manta.

Before he could argue Anna picked him up by his head and hurtled him at Yoh with a throw even the greatest athlete would be proud of. There was a loud thud as Manta's head impacted with Yoh's then both boys crashed to the floor in a groaning heap.

"I'd rather go with Yoh than be stuck here with her." Manta mumbled under his breath.

"What was that you were saying shorty." Anna said menacingly.

"N-nothing Anna." He replied quickly.

"And hurry up." Anna added as she walked back into the house.

"Yes Anna" sighed Yoh.

The only delay in the journey to the store was because Manta had to fetch his little red bike so that he could keep up with Yoh.

"Do you think Anna would notice if we stopped and grabbed some food." Manta asked halfway through the town.

"Yep. She'd know. She has spirit spies all over to make sure I don't goof off."

"I don't see any spirits around."

"There's one right behind you."

"I don't see an- AAAGGGHHH!!!"

Manta pulled on his brakes suddenly as a ghostly rotted hand reached for his neck. The sudden stop sent him cart wheeling into a randomly placed pumpkin.

"WHO WAS THAT?" Manta shouted as he tried to climb out of the pumpkin.

"It was one of Anna's very distant relatives, Maluku I think. He was a convicted murderer. He had this thing about killing people under the average height. I guess some habits never die, even when the dude dies. Funny."

"NO ITS NOT FUNNY WHY DO PEOPLE ALWAYS PICK ON THE LITTLE GUY!"

"You'll be alright, as long as we hurry with the milk that is."

After that encounter Manta seemed some how more motivated to get to the store and even more motivated to get out when he saw Maluku's face in a bottle of water. Yoh quickly bought the milk and returned home as fast as he could. He was ready for a nap.

As they reached the gates to Yoh's house they saw that Anna was waiting for them, obviously informed of their return by Maluk or another spirit.

"Got your milk." Yoh said as he handed the bottle to her.

"Its green topped." She stated.

"Yep just like you always have."

"I fancied a change. I want Blue lid."

"But you always tell me that the blue tops have more fat."

"Are you saying that I never have anything fatty? Your calling me anorexic aren't you."

Yoh tried to stutter a reply. "No. I-I j-just m-meant- I'll go and fetch a blue milk now."

"You do that." She answered coldly.

Another half a hour later Yoh returned with Two bottles of milk and a stake for dinner and an apple pie and ice cream for dessert. They all sat down to eat and, as usual, Yoh made an absolute pig of himself, eating half the stake himself in only five minuets until Anna smacked him in the face and made him eat his rice with needle thin chopsticks.

Between then and bed Yoh had to do seven hours of various exercises, got right hooked by Anna twice and dropped his music player in the sink while washing pots.

When he finally managed to sleep his dreams were filled with a restaurant filled with triple cheese burgers and they were all for him. Heaven on earth. The dream didn't last however as a strange thick green gas flooded his lungs, causing him to choke while trying to be sick. No air could get through. He had to find some way out but how.

The world started to fade black while Yoh's face turned bluey-purple. He started to stumble around. Then he heard a sliding sound and headed towards that. Then suddenly he was falling…..

Several centuries in the future a brooding figure gazed at a monitor as he addressed the messenger knelt before him.

"So the Halo was destroyed. Regret was killed. Most of our armies have been decimated and the humans still live, the Demon still lives."

"Yes sir." growled the messenger, fear evident in its deep voice. He expected a great show of anger and guessed it would be directed at him, despite the fact he had nothing to do with the bad news.

"Never mind." came the reply, much to the messengers surprise. "We no longer need worry about Regrets taint. I will take command of the remaining forces and we will strike a terrible retribution on the very souls of the humans. We will wipe the universe clean from mankind's scum.

Revenge flashed into the messengers at the opportunity to Destroy the humans once and for all.

"Ready the Covenant. Not even the Demon will stop us this time. I promise you this on the almighty honour of The Prophet of Retribution."

A/N: Well, there was my first chapter of my first story. I tried to keep the characters personalities and responses as realistic to what they are suppose to be like as possible. Sorry about the cliff hanger but I thought I better add something which would make you all read the next chapter.
