ALL THE CHARACTERS BESIDES SAKÈ IS OWNED/CREATED BY HIROYUKI TAKEI

Hey all. I know I haven't written anything in a long time :(. But anyway.. This is just something that I thought up of during a thunderstorm. And since not a lot of people write anything about Shaman King and I really like that manga, I decided to write a short story.

Oh yea, and if you don't like it, you can tell me ideas to make it better, tell me what to do next time. I will NOT allow hate-messages.

The long italicized part? That's a flashback.

DAWN CHAPTER 1

HATED

I've always been hated.

Always.

My parents committed suicide because of me. I was thought of as a demon because of the wave f misfortune that followed in my wake. People stayed away from me because of how I looked, and how I thought. My very essence radiated loneliness.

Why?

That's what I always asked myself.

Why?

Is it wrong to exist, to think differently?

How?

How did I get these powers?

But always, always.

Why must I exist?

And then I met Yoh.

"Get out of here!" "You don't belong here!"

The villagers continued to pelt me with stones.

I hadn't done anything wrong, not really. I had just stolen something. A LOAF OF BREAD. He had enough, that stingy baker did.

And then his daughter had come in. She screamed when she saw me. Apparently, I was wanted for murder. I swore the person who sprout that lie would pay, pay, pay.

But anyway, I ran. The villagers came out and started yelling and hitting me with stones, knives, and anything else that was just lying around.

And then the police came in all their glory. I couldn't move, for my back was to a brick wall. I was cornered.

One of the policemen lifted up their rifle.

I squeezed my eyes shut. I thought I was going to die. CRACK went the rifle.

CLANG.

I opened my eyes. A boy was standing in front of me, holding a sword in his hand. "Get away from her," He said. His voice wasn't loud, but I could tell he was angry, just by the way his muscles were tensed up, and how his voice sounded.

To my surprise, everyone backed up. Even the policemen. "Another demon…." The baker muttered. As if on command, everyone turned and fled, leaving me alone with the boy.

sorrowful.dreams : Yo.

I didn't really know what to call this story. I was thinking of something with the word 'break' in it, but I couldn't think of anything, so dawn it is.

This story wont be long. 5 chapters at most.

I named this chapter 'hated' because in this chapter, she is hated by all she knows (except for Yoh, but she doesn't know him yet.)
