Yoh woke up. He remembered the night he had a talk with Anna and saw that gentle and affectionate side of his fiancée. He also remembered inviting her to go out with him that's why he thinks of finishing his training soon. He stretched his arms and yawn.

"Gotta get ready. Today's training is the light chair training for two hours and carrying some weights and dumbbells."

He got up and changes from yukata to his white shirt and pants. He went out to start training. Outside, there's everyone and Anna. Anna's looking at him with a scary face.

"You're late. Waking up early makes the body strong.", said Anna.

Yoh is shaking from his fiancee's glare.

"Sorry. I overslept."

"Never mind. Just start the training. NOW."

"Ha.. Hai!"

He started the whole training course for the day. He did the light chair training first.

"I'll have a walk around again. Don't slack off.", said Anna.

Yoh remembered again that he invited Anna to have a walk with him. "Eh? But how about—".

"She probably doesn't want to go out with me. Besides, she told me she'll think about it. She didn't gave me a YES after all. Geez..", Yoh tought.

"I'll be back at noon.", Anna replied.

Yoh suddenly wore a smile and just nodded. "It's probably a YES.", he tought.

"Iterashai..(take care or something like that.)", said Yoh.

"Itekimasu. (I'm going)", Anna replied without an expression.

"Geez.. She left again. Isn't she supposed to stay with Yoh-kun especially during these times?", said Manta.

"That's right. I can't really get how her mind goes.", added Horo Horo.

"Whatever she's up to, it's surely of an importance. She isn't like you guys and Yoh who're usually up to stupid things.", said Ren with folded arms and leaning against the wall.

"Nani? Stupid things? I never did something stupid, idiot!", Horo Horo replied angrily.

"Who are you calling an idiot?", asked Ren.

"Who else? IDIOT!"

The two did their oversouls ready to start a fight like always but ofcourse, Chocolove is there to get in between and cool their heads. Suddenly, Yoh laughed.

"HEHEHH.. You guys sure enjoy fighting.", he said.

"That's right. It seems like a day can't pass without that two fighting.", said Manta.

"I wonder when your memory's coming back Yoh-kun.", Manta added.

"That is when you catch the one who stole his memory. It's not like he lost his memory due to some scientific happenings, you know.", said Ren.

"Yeah. That's right. But how are we supposed to locate that memory-stealing person?", asked Horo Horo.

"He's probably destroying the contestants in the Shaman fight.", Ren said.

"That's one possible answer. But aren't we supposed to look for that person than just sitting here."

"No need for that. We're also contestants in the Shaman fight.", replied Ren. "So sooner or later, he'll come and get us. Steal our memories."

"Then, Yoh must not be the only victim.", Chocolove said.

Yoh suddenly broke the serious conversation of his friends.

"Don't worry, it'll work out somehow."

Everyone gathered in one corner with dark aura around them. "He forgot almost everything but not his favorite line.", said Horo Horo. "Why are we worrying so much about someone who isn't worried about himself.", added Manta.

"Hey, guys..", said Yoh who's legs and arms are shaking because of keeping up the light chair pose.

Faust is holding a timer. The timer beeped indicating that the time's up. It's now time for the weights.

Yoh fell on the ground. "At last it's done. My arms and legs feel so numb. Can I have a short break, Faust?"

"Fine by me. By her, I don't know.", replied Faust. Yoh's body shaked from fear.

"I'm not taking a break. I'm doing the next one!", Yoh said. "Don't wanna get punished.", he thought feeling fear.

"Poor Yoh-kun.", Manta said.

In the village..

Anna is hearing rumors and stories around about teams withdrawing from the shaman fight.

"Have you heard it? Team XYZ lost their memories and can't remember why they are hear.", said a stranger to his companion.

"That's right. I heard they can't even remember their own names.", replied the stranger's companion.

Anna's eyes narrowed. "That must be it."

She continued walking around and asked spirits around. But suddenly, she saw a person fully clothed. The person's face cannot be seen. Anna senses a dangerous and evil aura on that person.

"Everyone seems to be in a panic.", said the stranger to Anna.

"Hmp. Ofcourse thay would. Someone is wandering around stealing memories due to some reasons.", Anna replied coldly.

"Stealing memory?"

"Right. Someone stealing memories. None other than YOU!", Anna said summoning Kouki and Zenki.

The stranger gave an evil smile. "That's sharp of you, Anna!"

"How did you know my name? And don't call me familiarly!"

"I saw you. I saw you in one of my victim's memories.", the enemy said. "I can see every memory I steal. Not just the scene in the memory but also how the owner of the memory feels."

"I see. But your foolishness will stop here.", Anna said clenching on her prayer beads. "Because I'm defeating you and I will retrieve everyone's memories!"

"Really? So brave of you. Exactly how you look at the memory I stole. But can you really defeat me?". The stranger put off the extra clothings. Her face is now revealed. It's a woman around 17 with wavy blonde hair ponytailed. She's slim and has a fair complexion. She has big blue eyes. She covered her mouth with her hand hiding her laughing face looking at Anna with a mocking face.

"Bring back those memories or I'll use force.", Anna said.

"Oh.. I'm scared..", said the girl joking around and belittling Anna.

"I'm serious. Grab the chance I'm giving you before you get hurt."

"Hmp. As if you're really standing a chance on me. Anyway, would you like to be the first one to know my name? The name of the woman who'll end your life?"

"Before you end my life, I'll make sure all those memories will be back to their respective owners."

"Eeh? Really brave and high of Anna as I've seen in these memories. The bravery and guts that makes even her fiancée so freaking scared of her. You'll learn to humble yourself once I, Ami-sama defeats you!"

"Didn't I told you not to call me familiarly?", Anna said with annoyance sending Kouki and Zenki to attack Ami.

While the meeting and soon to happen battle of Anna the itako and Ami the wizard( memory stealer) happens, Yoh finished his training and waits patiently for Anna. It's about noon and she isn't home yet (because she's facing Ami).

"Anna said she'll be back at noon. I wonder what happened to her.", said Yoh to Amidamaru.

"Don't worry, Yoh-dono. Anna-dono is strong. She's surely fine.", replied Amidamaru.

"Right. She probably got hungry and ate somewhere. Or she could be losing track of time and didn't notice it's already noon."

Back to Anna and Ami..

While Kouki and Zenki are about to punch Ami together, Ami gave an evil smile and a magic circle was seen on the ground below the two onis. The two onis were sent flying because of this.

"What? You're not a shaman?", Anna asked with a surprise.

"No, I'm not. I'm even higher than them.", Ami replied. "I'm a wizard."

"Wizard?"

"Right. A wizard. I don't rely on spirits. I don't even need them."

Kouki and Zenki are slowly standing from lying on the ground because of the spell/attack of Ami.

"They can't get near me. I'll just cast the same spell. You can't defeat me."

Anna is looking at the opponent with anger. Clenching her 1080 tighter.


about the line of Ami about wizards are higher than shamans, i put it that way to give Ami a character of someone who thinks high of herself. it's not that i'm saying wizards are more powerful than shamans or the other way around. anyway, this is a fanfic. fictions. :)

enjoy reading. feel free to review. :)
