I do not own Shaman King, sigh

Grace was introduced to the shaman world by an accident. How will she cope with the shaman tournament and two very possessive and attractive twin brothers?

Chapter 1 : open eyes

Rushing down the street, the young girl barely had time to think of an excuse why she was late. Actually, she had an excuse. It started out as a few hours reading, but she found herself unable to put the book down. It was just typical Grace – determined and stubborn. Once she got her mind set on something, there was no way of turning her from it.

So she spent the night, in her own little world of magic beings and unbreakable true love. The sun light hurt her eyes, seeing that she did sleep, but only for an hour. It was an awful way to start the week, but she didn't mind. She never did, anyway.

Maybe I can catch the train and still-

Her eyes were hurting as the red blur grow bigger in front of them. It was almost impossible to stand, yet Grace was not the girl who would just give up. Especially when she had to get to the class, or else the teacher would call her parents.

Due to the blur, she had no choice but to close her eyes, but continued to walk determined to get to the train station. It was getting warmer as she walked, and it seemed as if the young girl didn't mind at all.

Unwillingly, she stopped due to the strong figure that jumped on her and pulled her to the grown with him. She tightened her close eyes, watering them a little so she could bare the strong red light. Quickly opening her eyes, she saw no red light – just worried big brown eyes staring at her. Her first instinct was to slap whoever the person was and continue to run to her class. But she surprised even herself, as she just blushed and looked away shyly.

The strange boy gave her a small smile, but his eyes were still filled with worry. He got up from that awkward position and gave his hand to the girl who was still on the ground. Grace took his hand, getting up from the cold ground, straightening her dress as she did so.

''Why would you do that?! Why would you save her? Can't you just let my spirit be happy for once?'' The girl turned her head to the voice, which was another boy who looked the same as the one who was standing next to her. Obviously twins, she thought. Grace then took a full look at the twins, and realized they weren't all the same – the one who landed on her had shorter hair. Other then that, they were identical. She looked at the long haired boy, and spotted a red blur behind him flowing, an unformed figure.

Spirit…?

As she thought that, the unformed figure started sharpening, reviling some of its figure. There was no longer a big red blur, but a large red monster behind the long haired boy. She wanted to scream at the boy of the danger behind him but the boy seemed so angry that she bit her tongue, careful not to get him even more angrier.

''I couldn't just let her die! So what if the spirit of fire wants her!'' The short haired boy explained, throwing his hands in the air to relief his body from the frustration he felt at that moment. No way he was letting another person die because of his brother.

''I agree, Hao. There really isn't point in eating the poor girl. I can sense she is a good girl and in a hurry to get to school.'' The much bigger figure that looked like a samurai that Grace didn't notice before said behind the short haired boy. She then caught on the situation, sort of.

''Yes, you're right.'' Grace spook up, for the first time this morning, facing the samurai with respect. She respected him for not wanting to hurt her in anyway, and for his sense witch was dead right.

The look on their faces was something else. The samurai was in shock, a hard line on his lips and a cold look in his grey eyes. The red monster was just the same, still looking at her as if she was a meal and he was the hungriest man in the world. The long haired boy, which she figured was Hao, had a simple mask on. No emotions. And the short haired boy, had an even more worried face with a mix of fear in it.

''You can see me?'' The samurai trailed off, as he pointed a finger in his chest, still in shock. Both the boys studied her expressions and movements as if she was the most dangerous criminal in the country. Grace, however ignored there stares, and focused on the samurai.

''Yes.'' She answered simply, no need to get in to detail. She saw him, no matter how much she couldn't believe her eyes, her ears or even her mind.

''So you're a shaman, huh? All the more reason to kill you.'' The long haired boy, Hao smirked as his brother shot him a cold glare as he got closer to Grace taking in her hand. Of the sudden movement, Grace caught herself shiver as he took her hand in his. It felt perfectly well together, but still there was only one word in her mind.

Shaman.

''Don't be scared, he won't hurt you. He may seem mean, but he is a nice guy once you get to know him long enough.'' The young boy said, instead of a worried expression he wore a carefree smile that looked good on him. She looked over the boys shoulder, her view focused on Hao who just seemed hurt from the boys speech. ''I'm Yoh.'' He said firmly as he caught Graces attention again, ''This is my guardian spirit, Amidamaru.'' He pointed to the samurai who now wore a calm mask,'' That's my twin brother, Hao.'' He pointed to the long haired boy, which Grace already know his name since Amidamaru called him that. ''and his spirit is the spirit of fire. But don't worry, it means well.''

Grace took a moment to think about all of this. Shamans, spirits, eating her, killing her. She twitched as she realized that the bright red light wasn't from hours reading in the dark, but from the spirit that was trying to eat her. She twitched for the second time as she remembered that he was still here, still looking at her with hungry eyes. But something in Yohs smoothing voice and calm expression told her that the spirit wont hurt her. At least while Yoh is around.

''Come, I'll explain everything.'' Yoh said as he lightly pulled Graces hand, showing her to follow him which he did.
