Disclaimer: Cindy and Hel does not own Shaman King; Cindy only owns her OCs.
Cindy: Some of the OCs are based on my friends' personalities, especially Linda. (Hel: But she told me she doesn't even like Ren...!!)
Hel: Kon'ni'ne'chiwa! waits for an answer
chirp chirp
Hel: sweatdrops Well...okay. I am Helena-Jeanne-Chibi. I know this is Cindy Asakura's fan fiction; but, I'm officially her editor to rewrite her story, so expect to see a lot of me!
Anyone who knew this story from before, the original "Summer" got deleted, (damn that rat who did that!!! --##) and this is the revised version, in my writing style, of course. Since I was planning on rewriting "Summer", the deletion of the story just made it faster; I know you all want me to update my story "Anything But Normal", but this cannot wait. Also, you might find some .::cough cough::. a lot of changes in this version, like some of the original characters' personalities and such.
Italics for emphasis&thoughts
Chapter 1: The Mysterious Poncho Boy
It was very early in the morning; mist surrounded the entire New York city, creating an illusive effect. The city was deserted, well almost...
A brunette girl with long brown hair was walking down the empty streets with her little brother. She liked to take walks on mornings when it was cool and less crowded. She would've gone alone if not for her brother insisting on coming along.
'But...I wanna, I wanna! I wanna go, 'nee-chan! Ne, ne, I can go, right, 'kaa-san?.' he had whined.
'Of course, dear.' Diana had replied without looking up from reading the newspaper.
And that, was how the devil's second cousin managed to convince their mother without any suspicion. He had a plan, most certainly; which was to annoy his sister by acting unbelievably childish along the way.
And it's working. The brown-haired girl groaned inwardly as her brother jabbered on and on about Disney Land and how wonderful it is. She was just thinking how nice it would be not to have a little brother when the said red-head halted to a stop.
"Christine, look! Is it a bird?" he said as he pointed to a rather large dot falling from the sullen sky.
"Eugene...it's a plane." Christine replied, rolling her eyes. Despite her facial expression, she was very much interested as to what the dot actually was.
They watched as the 'plane' fell to the ground with an audible thump. Quickly, they rushed over to the said 'plane', only to find that it isn't a plane after all.
"It's a boy." Eugene said quietly after examining the figure closely.
"Weird clothes! I think it's a girl!" his sister retorted.
"No, he's a boy! Don't you see???"
"What? I don't think so."
Eugene grinned mischievously. "Let's check out then."
Not long after, a loud scream could be heard.
"AHHHHHH!!! It's a boy!!"
"I knew you would see things my way." Eugene grinned triumphantly before doubling with laughter.
After finally calming down, the small boy turned to the brunette girl.
"You had seen what you weren't supposed to see." he paused. "So, do you think you'll marry him?"
At this, Christine blushed. The two walked in silence as they carried the unconscious boy home.
---
"Gene, do you think we had seen him before?" Christine mused, looking questioningly at her brother.
"Hmmm... I don't think so."
They both turned back when a loud moaning sound was heard. The siblings stared curiously as the boy slowly opened his eyes.
"Who are you?"
"I'm Christine Shiyuu." Christine answered as she flicked her thumb sideways, "And that's my idiotic brother, Eugene. So, who are you?"
"Me...who am I? Who am I?? Who am I??? Do you know?! Tell me! Tell me!!"
"We don't know who you are." the dark-haired girl frowned, confused.
Eugene thought for a moment – he read a lot of books and can be quite smart sometimes...when he's not doing pranks or reading ecchi magazines, of course. "I think he had lost his memory. According to my encyclopedia, one would lose his memory due to–"
"Cut the crap. You're making me more confused."
"Fine." The freckled boy pouted, getting back some of his aesthetic-for-the-day already.
"Then we should help to get back his memory. But before that, we need a temporary name for him."
"How about 'Who Am I'? Just like the Jackie Chan movie." Eugene joked.
"Keep your mouth shut! If you can't think of a better name, I think we should call him... 'Summer'."
The younger boy cocked an eyebrow. "Why?"
"Because it's summer now and he looks hot."
"Then we could also name him 'Winter', 'cause I love winter and he looks cool to me."
"Stop your nonsense. I've decided to call him 'Summer' and that's final." she turned to the brunette boy. "Summer, are you hungry?"
The boy looked around, trying to find who Christine was talking to. When he found no one, he turned back to faced the long-haired girl.
"Were you talking to me?"
"Hai."
"Am I Summer?"
"Well...temporary, yes."
Abruptly, Summer's stomach grumbled. "Can I have something to eat?"
"Sure. What would you like to eat?"
"Do you have any curry bread?"
"I'll go look for some." Christine said as she turned and left.
To be continued...
Hai - Yes
Kon'ni'ne'chiwa - Hey-hey-hoo (it's not a spelling mistake; it's kero-chan from Card Captor Sakura!! I just love the cute Osaka accent.)
'Kaa-san - Mom; informal version of 'Okaa-san'
Ne - Hey
'Nee-chan - Sis; informal version of 'Onee-chan'
A/n: Well, how was it?? If you had reviewed before, review again please. (and keep in mind the unfortunate fate of "Summer" --) And yes, the following chapters will be like this one: brief and short but written with more descriptive words.
A/n1: I'm sorry for Christine's surname "Shiyuu". Cindy wanted the mother Japanese and the father Chinese; but it's not very obvious, is it? So I had to think of a Japanese surname, and I was not very creative at the moment, if I was creative at any other time. Please no flames for that.
And about Eugene's little addition of personality, I just love the 'devil-brat' personality, so I just had to have him like that too. You might find Metatron (Angel Sanctuary) in another ficcie I'm currently working on an annoying brat too. Muwahahaha...I know I'm evil. So flame me for that if you want; I won't mind.
A/n2: Anyways, see ya next time, I've got to continue working on my other fic; or else Jade, otherwise known as wingweaver22 will kill me if I delay it any longer. If you don't know what I'm talking about, go to 'Search' on the top of the page; select 'Story by Title' and 'Shaman King'; enter 'Anything But Normal' in the space below and click 'Go'. And there you go. I wish you all a wondrous thanksgiving!
