Wow I am up to the second chapter. The plot is moving forward and the characters are falling into place. Like you noticed in the last chapter the story was more focussed on Negima. The reason for that was the diversity of characters involved and that the first chapter started the crossing over of the two series'. At this point in Shaman King the plot stays relatively canon but in this chapter it will change. For the sake of this gap between chapters the Ren family incident occurred. For the same reason as with the flashback I won't write those fight scenes due to the fact that it will take up unnecessary space and should be something fans of the series know so I need not mention it again

Disclaimer: I don't own anything related to Shaman King mentioned in this fic - all belongs to Hiroyuki Takei. I also do not own anything relating to mahou sensei negima. That's Ken Akamatsu's work.

Ch2: The unusual meeting and new foes (Yes the prologue counts as ch1)

(In the previous chapter)

A train pulled up at Tokyo station. Two girls got out and stepped out into the fresh air.

"Ahh I am so glad to be out of that freaking train. It was soo cramped. How are you going Zazie?"

The girl with white hair and a tear drop mark under her left eye and a straight green line painted over her right eye which could look like a cut from an angle known as Zazie Rainyday replied in her usual manner. "..."

"Too true Zazie. The weather is great around here. I hope you are ready for the tournament. We only get this chance once. I doubt I will be around in 500 years to try again." Miki Kenton replied.

The Shaman King tournament was close to beginning and these two girls had no intention of losing.

A few days later at the same train station:

Yoh and his friends hopped out of the train. They had been on a trip to China where they helped free Tao Ren and his sister Tao Jun from the hands of their abusive father. The first one to get out was Horohoro who was energetic despite the face that he was beaten quite badly by some of the zombies. He was a child around the same age as Yoh. He had blue hair and had a snowboard held onto his back. He would use this as a medium for his oversouls. His guardian spirit wasn't with him at the moment however. The next two people to walk out were Manta and Ryunosuke Umemiya who was nicknamed Ryu. In between Manta and Ryu was a tiny spirit with a leaf. This spirit was a girl and was in fact Horohoro's guardian spirit. Her name was Kororo and at the present time two things were happening. Kororo was near Manta because he looked like a Koro Pokkuru. In fact Kororo was smitten with Manta. The second thing that was happening was Ryu was staring at Kororo and trying to touch the spirit because of how cute she was. Ryu was a person who would often wear an outfit which made 1970's fashion look underrated as his was even more exaggerated. His hair is shaped into a foot-long pompadour which was one of his pride and joys. He was wearing his trademark white suit with his chest being flaunted. This in itself made Kororo shy away from him.

"Stop looking at Kororo like that you weird pervert!" Horohoro yelled at Ryu while at the same time throwing his shoe at his face. Manta edged away from Ryu and Kororo left Manta and went back to Horohoro's side.

Yoh and his guardian spirit Amidamaru stepped off next and accidently stepped on Ryu. "Are you ok Ryu? I didn't see you down there." Yoh stated with genuine concern.

"He has had worse than this. Forget about him for now." The voice of Ryu's guardian spirit said. Tokagero was Ryu's guardian spirit and was once a bandit around the same time that Amidamaru was alive. Tokagero was killed by Amidamaru at the age of 35 and as a ghost swore vengeance against Amidamaru. About a month ago Tokagero possessed Ryu in an attempt to get his revenge but failed after Yoh appealed to Tokagero to take control of his body. This resulted in his killing intention dissipating. He then became the spiritual ally of Ryu who helps him become a Shaman.

"He deserves every bit of pain he gets for looking at Kororo like that." Horohoro unsympathetically said.

"Don't be like that Horohoro. We just got back. Can't we be friends?" Yoh smiled while stating.

"Hmph Fine. I will forgive him for now but his he tries that again he will be getting a taste of ice." Horohoro exclaimed.

Ryu picked himself up and wiped the dust off of him. "I'm ok." A crowd had gathered to watch the weird but hilarious situation.

"Who are they talking to? Who is Kororo? Is it that small boy? What a weird name for a boy."

Manta heard the comments and realized the public setting they were in. "Umm guys I think we have drawn attention to ourselves." Manta whispered to his friends.

The group looked around and noticed the crowd. They gulped and ran out of the train station. The crowd quickly forgot them as they went back to their usual daily routine.

A teenager around 15 with a black cloak and dark brown hair which was extremely spiky was watching the entire scene. He was sitting on the roof of the train station while he watched the scene. He had two swords on him. One a wakizashi which was hanging on his belt on his left and a katana hanging on a scabbard on his back. He laughed as Ryu got hit by the shoe. He also watched where they went after the train station. He jumped from the roof to a tree as he followed the group.

Amidamaru noticed a presence following them. "Master Yoh someone has been following us."

Yoh stopped. "Well let's have a talk then."

The boy following them also stopped in a tree near them.

Horohoro noticed him. "Hey who the hell are you and why are you following us?"

He smiled before explaining himself. "I thought I would see if you guys had any more antics up your sleeves. It's always good to get a laugh."

Horohoro was getting agitated. "You didn't answer my question you bastard. Who are you?"

The boy had a giant grin on his face. "I am who I am. As you are who you are."

Horohoro lost it. "That's it you want to fight don't you?"

"I don't think you have a chance of winning kid so give up while you still can" The boy got serious.

Horohoro took this as an insult and responded by taking out his snowboard and using Kororo into an oversoul. Shards of ice flew towards the mystery boy. He smiled as he drew his wakizashi and slashed the icicles into tiny pieces which flew harmlessly past him.

Amidamaru noted his movement. "Master Yoh he is not your average opponent."

Yoh smiled. "Horohoro will be fine. If this boy wanted to do something he would have done it by now."

Horohoro was shocked. "What kind of technique was that? Are you a shaman?"

The boy smiled. "That was a simple slash and I am more than a simple shaman." The boy disappeared from where he was and appeared in between Yoh and Ryu. The group gasped when they realized where he was. "Yoh Asakura and Amidamaru. I can't wait to fight you in the Shaman King tournament. My name is Hakel Fury. I will be seeing you around." They couldn't see any guardian spirit on Hakel.

"HEY DON"T IGNORE ME!" Horohoro yelled at Hakel.

"Sorry but at the moment you aren't worth my time. I'll be heading off. See you guys at the tournament." Hakel said as he disappeared again.

Yoh and Amidamaru genuinely shocked. It was the first time they saw anyone who could move that fast. If it came to a fight against him they would lose. Yoh recomposed himself as he went back to his relaxed attitude. "Well that was interesting. Best to head back home before Anna has a fit."

Horohoro also calmed himself down and realized something. "Oh crap! I told Pirika I would head straight back when I got back. I will see you guys later." Horohoro said before running off. Pirika was Horohoro's sister and was very demanding much in the same way as Anna is to Yoh.

The rest of the group followed Yoh to the inn which Yoh called home. They were immediately met with Anna who was waiting for them. "WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN? YOU SAID THE TRAIN WOULD GET IN AT 12. You better not have been slacking off again?"

"Sorry we are late Anna. We will fill you in on what happened when we get inside."

The group went inside and began explaining the events involving Tao Ren and the fight. Then Yoh went and explained what happened just moments earlier.

Anna had a worried look on her face. "He said he was more than a simple shaman did he? I wonder what that meant. Either way this is all the more reason for you to keep up with your training. If there are opponents like this in the competition then we need to be careful. You better not lose this tournament. You promised me you would be the shaman king so don't disappoint me."

Yoh smiled. "It will work out in the end."

"Not with that attitude it won't now get training now!"

The smile left Yoh's face. "But I just got back from China. Can't I at least get some rest?"

"You had enough rest on the train up here so back to training. I will be taking Amidamaru from you so don't try anything funny."

Amidamaru had a shocked and sad face as Anna dragged him away. "NOOO!"

Yoh watched her drag Amidamaru away and got the message. He went out to the courtyard. Anna was waiting to begin another round of physical training.

Meanwhile Manta and Ryu decided to leave the inn to go shopping. They had arrived at the supermarket door to see a young girl out the front probably around 15 or 16 who was juggling. She had gathered quite a crowd. The people clapped as she added a new item.

Ryu and Manta couldn't help but watch the performance. Ryu, like with most girls, immediately admired her. Manta however noticed something else. Around the girl were a variety of ghosts and what seemed like ghouls. Despite noticing this he still smiled and applauded as the girl seemed oblivious to it.

After finishing the crowd split up to what they were doing before being entranced by the girl's performance. Manta started to walk into the supermarket but noticed that Ryu had gone up to the girl and complimenting her. The girl stayed silent as she responded which made Ryu confused. "Are you ok?"

"She is fine. Direct all comments to me." A girl sitting next to the juggler said.

Ryu and Manta hadn't noticed this girl at all before. "I'm sorry we didn't notice you there." Manta replied.

"That's ok. Zazie's juggling is quite entrancing isn't it?" The girl questioned.

"…." Zazie stated.

"It certainly was. She has a lot of skill and can draw a crowd in. not to mention she is very cute." Ryu complimented.

"…." Zazie said.

"Zazie says thanks for the compliment." The other girl said.

"You can understand what she is saying?" Manta inquired.

"Of course. What kind of friend would I be if I didn't?" The girl answered.

"True so what would your name be?" Manta asked.

"Oh sorry. I was so busy I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Miki Kenton and this juggler who draws the crowds is Zazie Rainyday. Who might you be?" Miki asked.

Ryu was about to introduce himself in an over the top fashion but was cut off by Manta. "My name is Manta and this is Ryu. Pleasure to meet you."

Miki smiled. "Nice to meet you too Manta. So what brings you to this part of town?"

"… Oh crap we had to get the groceries. Ryu could you go in and get the groceries there is something I need to ask these girls?" Manta asked Ryu

He began to sulk but decided to go in and get the groceries like Manta asked.

Miki looked at Manta. "What is it you need to ask?"

"I was just wondering whether either of you two noticed those ghosts around Zazie while she performed." Manta asked.

Miki's face became hostile. "So you can see the ghosts. So you must be a shaman. I was hoping not to have a fight this early but it seems I must."

Manta was in shock. "No wait I am not a shaman but I can see ghosts. Please don't hurt me!"

Zazie looked at Manta. "…"

Miki squinted at Manta then looked over at Zazie. "Seems you are telling the truth. Why is it then that you can see ghosts?"

Manta relaxed. "My friends are shamans and I ended up being able to see ghosts. Yoh said that only good people can see ghosts."

Miki looked at Manta still unconvinced. "What's to say you have your guardian ghost elsewhere and you are using our trust before you ambush us?"

"…" Zazie said.

"True if he was trying to do that he would have done it by now. Ok shrimp you're ok." Miki said.

"Hey don't call me a shrimp. It isn't very nice." Manta replied seeming like he is going to cry.

"Ok, ok I won't call you a shrimp. So who are these shaman friends of yours? Are they strong?" Miki asked.

Ryu walked back out of the supermarket with several bags of groceries. Tokagero was hovering behind him. "Let's get going back before Anna starts treating us like Yoh." Ryu stated.

Miki noticed the ghost hovering behind Ryu. "We would like to come with you guys. I would like to meet some of these shamans."

Manta started to worry. "I would be careful around some of them especially Anna. She can be extremely dangerous."

"Don't worry. We will be fine. We can protect ourselves." Both girls got up and looked at Manta expectantly. "So are we going to go or not?"

Manta sighed. "Fine but we better hurry." He started to walk towards the crossroads before feeling himself being picked up.

Ryu had grabbed Manta and had him slung on his shoulder. "We will have to go faster than this." Ryu stated as he began to run to the left with the two girls following them from a short distance.

Meanwhile in another part of Tokyo:

Horohoro had returned to Pirika's yelling similar to that of Anna's rant towards Yoh. To try and relax he went for a walk down the street. He went to turn a corner and accidently ran into a ten year old boy with a suit and a staff lodged against his back. Horohoro went up to him and picked him up. "I am so sorry. I didn't see you there."

There was a bunch of girls behind him. A girl with red hair and two ponytails went up to Horohoro and flicked him on the head. "You should be more considerate of your surroundings you little brat." The girl said.

Horohoro got angry from being called a brat. "What is your problem? I said sorry and helped him up. What more do you want?"

"This is why I don't like kids. They are just so irritating!" The girl said.

The ten year old boy finally reacted. "Asuna calm down. I am sorry for my student's behavior. I hope you are ok?"

Horohoro was glad that someone was rational. "I am fine thanks..." He just realized what the child said. "Your students? How can you be a teacher? You are so young." Horohoro exclaimed.

Another girl with bangs covering up her face explained. "He …is a well educated person who studied at …. England and is vvvvery mature." The girl shyly stated.

Horohoro looked around at the girls. There were about 11 girls following Negi along with another boy of around the same age as Negi who had a cap on and black hair. Horohoro also noticed a ghost hovering above a girl holding a camera. Horohoro reacted to this. "Which one of you is a Shaman? Tell me!"

They looked at him confused. "Shaman? What is a shaman Negi?"

Negi told them what he knew. "According to myth and tradition, a Shaman is a person who is a medium between the world of the living and the world of the dead."

Horohoro was getting impatient. "Why do you keep delaying? It is obvious that ghost is with one of you so one of you is a Shaman."

The girls gasped. "How can you see Sayo?"

The ghost known as Sayo went up to Horohoro and asked him. "So you can see me?"

"As plain as day." Horohoro replied.

The girl with the camera immediately went up to him. "So how can you see Sayo? This is going to be a great scoop."

"Ummm." Horohoro got nervous at the sudden questioning. "Why should you care?" Horohoro said as he sped off down the street. The girls were incredibly fast and were right behind him. "Ok Kororo time to lose them."

Horohoro had taken out his snowboard and was in the process of creating an oversoul. "Kororo in snowboard! Oversoul!" Ice suddenly appeared around the board and formed an ice wall behind him.

The boy known as Kotaro Inugami smiled. "Looks like it is a fight. And it looks like he uses magic. We can finally get serious."

Negi grabbed his shoulder and stopped him. "We can't let magic be exposed. You know what will happen if it does." Negi stated.

Kotaro formed an image in his mind of him as an ermine. "Ok we won't go after him."

Negi smiled. "Good but I am worried about what that boy can do. And he did it in public. Also his talk of Shamans was strange. We might have to do some investigating."

The girls cheered. "Yay an adventure so early in our trip."

One of the girls known as Chisame Hasegawa shrugged. She had found it hard to get used to the craziness of the class. Only now has she given up on caring about pointless things. 'Still that boy had weird written all over him. Argh! Why am I stuck with the group of weirdos?'
