Hi guys sorry for the long wait…I had lots of things and thinking to do…This is still Ooc as always and now I'm using the original names of the people and not the dub names…Here it is the sequel of Same Ground…

Disclaimer: Don't own Shaman King or anything that you see that's familiar to you- except my OCs and any other character I decide to put…that's kinda complicated…

Chapter 1: The Plan


A man dressed in the finest of robes came out of the shadows. He kneeled before the man on the throne.

"You summoned me, my king?" the man questioned.

"Stand up; you need not kneel before me. After all, you were the one who brought me back," the man said. The other man stood up.

"Continuing…" he mumbled.

"Ah, yes…you brought him back without them noticing, right?" he asked.

"Yes, my king, I have and now they have heard of your return as well as mine," he replied.

"Is there anything else?"

"Yes, they have sent the ones who got rid of me and him to come here." The man replied. The man on the throne frowned.

"Have you and he done anything to prevent this?" he asked.

"The plan was set when I brought him back. Is that a sufficient answer?" the man on the throne thought for a while and stood up from his throne.

"Tell me of this plan that you speak of. Only then will I answer that question." He decided.

"Very well, my king," he said facing the door. "I will show you." He said walking to it as his king followed him.


"Tell me why we are doing this again, Otouto?"

"Which one Aniki?"

"The smarter one, duh."

"I didn't ask for your opinion, spiky!"

"That's mean!"

"Well sorry…one of you can't even tell who's who!"

"But we're wearing different things!"

"Oh yeah? You guys might've switched clothes."

"Eww… Aniki that's gross!"

Besides, Aniki, even if we did change our clothes, it would be easy to tell who's who.


"Oh yeah…"

"Actually, the not knowing who's who, that's him."

"HEY!"

"Pipe down or we'll be found out!"

"But can someone tell me why we are doing this?"

"It was either this or the arrows that caught us first, baka."

"Oh yeah...thanks-hey! I'm not stupid!"

"Hurry up, you two, you guys are heavy…" (Don't worry this will all make sense later)

"NOT LIKE YOU ARE!"

"Remember don't look up or we're all dead…"

"I KNOW THAT! MAKE SURE YOU DON'T EITHER!"

"Why would I? My mind's not dirty like yours,"

"Shut up!"

"You too!"

"Oww… BE CAREFUL WHERE YOU POINT THAT THING! It hit my ass…"

"I said pipe down!"

"Gomen, Anna…" A large grumble was heard. The people talking all looked at a certain baka.

"What, I'm hungry…" He said. A man thwacked him with a fan. Where it came from, you figure out.

"Baka! Is eating all you can think of?" he hissed.

"Stand still!" a girl named Anna hissed.

"Where'd you get the fan, Ren?" another man asked.

"It doesn't matter!" The man called Ren snapped.

"Aniki he's being mean again…" the man cried.

"Which Aniki?" two other men asked.

"Anna, they're confusing me again…" the man complained to Anna. All that Anna did was kick the three men.

"Yoh, you stop whining and as for you, Aridas and Hao, stop confusing Yoh! Understand?" she asked the three.

"Hai," one with the black robe and blindfold around his eyes and short brown hair, Yoh said. One with a brown old-style Gi and pants and looked like Yoh only with wolf ears and tail, Aridas nodded. The other with long brown hair, star earrings, a poncho covering his body till his ankles, fingerless gloves, two sets of pants with five belts and Lego shoes, Hao, though, just smirked. A girl came up to Hao and kicked him there hard, making him kneel down to her mercy with one hand up.

"Ahh… Aniki stay up!" Yoh warned.

"Oww! What was that for, Ianna?" Hao asked the girl called Ianna.

"For not agreeing with your other brothers. Now agree before I send you to kingdom come!" she snapped. Hao immediately stood up.

"Ahh… ANIKI!" Yoh yelled.

"OkayokayI'msorryAnnaandIannaforconfusingYohTherehappynow?" he said before going back to tending to that place, still with one hand up, whimpering.

"Ne, Aridas, is Hao whimpering? I can't really tell since I'm…you know…" He asked.

You know, if you're blind, one of your other senses will become more acute. Try listening or smelling what's happening, was all that Aridas said. Yoh became quiet for a while then looked back at Aridas.

"I hear it and unfortunately, it's not music to my ears," Yoh said. One of the other men…werewolf just sighed.

"Solum, what did I get to deserve this?" he asked quietly as a small blue Western dragon appeared on the werewolf's left shoulder.

'I don't know; you tell me, Draikiel-dono. Then I'll tell you what I think,' the dragon, Solum, replied to Draikiel dully. Then a gold Chinese dragon appeared wrapping it's long body around Draikiel's body, it's head looking at the two.

'Don't be mean to Draikus-dono, Solum! Gladius does not like it when you do that, and Solum knows that!' the dragon, Gladius, said in third person.

'Lay off the third person, Gladius, it's annoying,' Solum said.

'And what if Gladius doesn't want to 'lay off the third person,' Solum?' Gladius asked. Draikiel prevented them from fighting.

"Guys, do something together for once, like chase Ainu-baka around or set spiky on fire or something besides fighting against each other, you are the dragons of peace and unity and you two don't even act like it," Draikiel whispered as the man with blue hair, Horohoro, and the man with the fan and a 'spike' on his head, Ren, sneezed ("Stand still, baka!"). They both looked at Draikiel.

"You talked about me didn't you?" they both chorused.

"So what if I was?" he growled.

"Well…umm…" they both trailed off.

"I know it's hard to find comebacks these days. Don't worry, I can wait, I'm patient…not like you two, at least," he said. Ren and Horohoro were about to pummel Draikiel when they remembered something so they cursed in their minds.

"Still, can anyone here tell me something?" Hao said, fully recovered.

"What is it that you want to know, then?" Draikiel asked.

"What are we doing here?" Hao asked. All of them were in a large barrel. Ianna and Anna were held up by Horohoro who was being held up by Ren while Yoh was held up by Draikiel who was held up by Aridas who was held up by Hao. Ianna, Anna and Yoh were looking through two holes in the barrel (Yoh looked through Okolo's eyes)

We're ambushing them, remember? Aridas said.

"Or did Aniki forget?" Yoh added.

"Shut up, all of you! We're trying to concentrate!" Anna and Ianna hissed as they all shut up.

"That's better. Now Horo, stay still…" They both said looking outside through the hole of the barrel.

"They should be coming now…" Hao mumbled.

"Quiet, Asakura!" Ianna hissed. He shut up, again.

"He should be coming now…" Anna said.

/I just said that, only it was they…/ Hao thought. Then a samurai appeared in front of the hole.

'Anna-dono,-' the samurai began.

"Get in here, Amidamaru, you're blocking my view!" Anna said as she reached out to Amidamaru through the hole and grabbed him inside the barrel.

"Well..?" Yoh barely said.

"…What are you waiting…for…samurai?" Hao said.

"WHAT'S HAPPENING?" they all chorused.

'Well…everything seems to be clear. There is no sign of physical beings around but-' Amidamaru began.

"GET TO THE POINT!" they all yelled.

'Okay, people, okay, I sensed most of them coming from the west side!' he yelled.

"Good, let us down so we can plan," Ianna said as Horohoro stupidly let go, the girls falling on him and Ren and while the girls fell Anna grabbed onto Yoh, making him fall, thus causing a chain reaction (In, short, making everyone fall). Ren, after the fall, thwacked Horohoro with a fan.

"Seriously, where did you get that paper fan…?" Horohoro mumbled rubbing his head.

"Okay then remember, these aren't the usual ones we fight so we have to use Hyoi Gattai with our ghosts." Ianna said.

"But what about me? I can't really integrate with the Spirit of Fire; he can only use oversoul!" Hao asked.

"Use fire, baka! It's your element!" Ianna snapped.

"Oh yeah…" Hao trailed off.

Of course, Yoh will have to oversoul Okolo into the blindfold and Horohoro oversouls Kororo into his snowboard so…besides that, we go crazy on them, Aridas said.

"But Aridas, you don't have a ghost yet. Griffyn and Owen left you." Hao pointed out.

"And even though you know how to fight without the use of integration you still need more power to finish them off," Ren added.

Already taken care of, Aridas said.

"Okay…on three…one…two…" Ianna said.

"Wait, do we go on three or go?" Yoh asked.

"ON THREE, BAKA!" they yelled.

"Oh yeah…" he mumbled.

"THREE!" Ianna yelled as they all jumped out of the barrel where they saw a huge amount of demons.

"Amidamaru, Hyoi Gattai! Okolo, into the blindfold!"

"Bason, Hyoi Gattai!"

"Kororo, into the snowboard!"

"Gladius, Hyoi Gattai!"

"Solum, Hyoi Gattai!"

Anna summoned her two shikigami Zenki and Kouki and Hao made a huge fireball.

"Shruikan, Hyoi Gattai!"

"Shruikan?" they chorused.


Author's notes: Well there ya go the first chapter…and the first cliffie… wait, is it a cliffie? Ah, never mind…I'm not really sure about the Spirit of Fire being unable to integrate so if this is wrong please tell me by review…And if you're wondering Ianna uses Solum and Draikiel uses Gladius…I hope to see the same reviewers in the previous story and speaking of that R&R please!
