Mai: I thought of this a few months ago and I finally got around to writing. Anyway to fans of Do you Remember Me and Unloved I won't be updating those for a while. My computer had a melt down and had to be sent to the computer hospital. So I might get my documents back and I might not. I almost had the next chapters finished and I really don't want to proceed until I know if I can get them back or not. Anyway I hope you like this. Also I don't know a lot about Tao Ran so if I made her OOC I'm sorry.
Disclaimer: Until I takeover the world and proclaim myself the Supreme Ruler of Canada I don't own Shaman King or Canada. I do own the first seven volumes of the Inu Yasha manga. I love Inu Yasha!
Chapter 1: Anger
Shaman Queen. Those two words echoed in my head over and over again as I punched and kicked the sack with pointless aggression. I was going to win the title for myself and have my proper revenge. My revenge on the stupid narrow-minded humans who cast me out.
Before the accident I had lots of friends, and even a couple dozen boys chasing after me. I entered the last year if Junior High feeling like I was on top of the world. Sure my grades could have been a little better but I passed and that was all that mattered. I was popular so grades didn't really seem that important to me.
Then in one horrifying afternoon everything changed. I was attacked by these strange creatures. I managed to escape them, the friends I was walking home with apparently couldn't see them so they walked right into their trap and were killed.
After that nobody would talk to me. After I told the police my crazy sounding story about the monsters everyone turned on me. They were convinced that whatever had happened to my friends had driven me insane. As if that wasn't bad enough some people even thought that I had murdered them and was covering it all up. Either way none of them associated with me ever again.
That was when I realized that humans were stupid selfish creautures who cared only about the shallow aspects of a person and who could turn on anyone in an instant if given half the chance.
I was truly alone for the first time in my life and I hated it. At least until she rescued me.
Her name was Tao Ran. She came to town on some sort of business trip. We met in an alleyway where she saved me from being mugged and possibly raped by some sicko. She could tell that I was a Shaman who hadn't learned about my powers yet. So she took me back to China with her as her student.
There she taught me to be Dao-shi and control corpse puppets. She told me about a tournament coming up where I could win the chance for my revenge. I could kill all the evil humans and purify their race.
Now here I was about to leave for Arizona in two days time for the second round of the tournament and I was wasting my time beating the hell out of a stupid punching bag.
"Trying to take out your feelings in a totally unproductive way again," Taki my jang-si said from the doorway. "And I thought Lady Ran taught you better than that." Of all the things Ran did for me Takiko or Taki for short was the best. Ran had gotten away with giving me Taki because unlike most Jang-si Taki could still think and feel so she was of no use to the Tao family.
"Shut up Taki it makes me feel better," I said kicking the bag again. "Besides it is too useful if keeps me in shape."
"Honestly Terra you work out too much. Now if you were a normal shaman who had to use a ghost and an oversoul to fight it might make sense. But you're Dao-shi as long as you're not fat you're in good condition. As for making you feel better it's been two years you should have control over your anger by now. Save it for when you win."
I just ignored her and kicked the again and again getting harder with each swing of my leg until…SMASH the bag split open under force of my kick. I just stood there panting and feeling angry.
"Terra that's the third one this week," Taki said annoyed.
"Shut up Taki. Just get me another one," I ordered forcefully. She just walked over to a closet and pulled out another punching bag from a closet full of them and placed it in position.
I started to punch and kick again and again.
