Three days later

"A place where you can see the stars." Reina murmured, she was perched comfortably on a tree branch that overlooked the entire area.

She was wearing a dark purple tank top and black shorts that went to the middle of her thighs. Her black fingerless gloves had gleaming metal plated on the back of her hand. Strapped to her waist was a belt were her twin Sais, she traced her fingers lightly over the hilt of her Sais.

The hilt was smooth and it was pure black with crimson notches. The guard and the blade was glowing eerie silver with a tint of red, Kouya materialized at her side and flicked his head.

"Mistress, Ren is coming." Kouya said, his voice deep and clear, Reina nodded and replied with a nod.

"I know."

Reina reached up and scratched him behind his ears and around his gleaming horn, Kouya tilted his head and made a sound that sounded like a purr. She gazed back down and listened to the conversation that a group of people where having below her.

"Ryu san. Why don't we just forget about this place? We could find another…" A man wearing an orange jacket and a crimson beanie cried out while flinging his arms out in exasperation.

The person he was talking to pulled off his oddly shaped helmet with an audible pop and his Elvis Presley hairstyle bobbed as the helmet came off.

"What's that supposed to mean, Muscle Punch?" Ryu asked.

"Uh…Well…" Muscle Punch stammered, as a person that had no shirt on asked.

"What do you mean by 'what', Ryu san? It's that, well, since this place is a graveyard… And there's that kid too." Reina noticed that Rey's grip on his helmet tighten and his hands began to shake.

"Ahh, is that it?" Ryu asked and the others tensed as Reina and Kouya continued to watch in amusement.

"I was defeated by him not once, but twice with just one hit!" He lifted an AC above his head as he yelled.

"I can't run away and I can't sleep because it's so freaking hot! I want an AC!" He chucked it onto the ground and it immediately started to pour out steam.

"He just threw an Ac unit, right?" Muscle Punch asked and another replied.

"He had an AC unit, but he broke it." Ryu was panting and then he yelled while pointing at the group that stood behind him.

"And third!"

"S…Super!" The rest yelled in unison.

"What is the 'Best Place'?" Ryu demanded.

"It's…" Muscle Punch started but then Ryu said.

"Yes, it is a single flower blooming in a cold, damp graveyard. And at times, pure as the heavenly sky…"

"He's talking to himself." Muscle Punch muttered and another said.

"I still don't know what he's saying."

"It has nothing to do with that kid…" Ryu said, he looked up at the star filled sky and continued to say.

"The 'Best Place' is within our hearts. Never to be moved by anything evil others may do." A muscle in Reina's cheek twitched as she watched the others get tears in their eyes and cry out.

"Ryu san!"

"What?" Ryu asked while still gazing at the sky.

"You're in the way." Reina burst out laughing when she heard someone say that, Kouya quickly wrapped his long tail around her mouth to stifle her laughter.

Soon Reina tugged at his tail and he immediately released her, she gagged and took great gulps off air. Kouya let out a snicker and Reina glared daggers at him, but he knew she was joking.

"Oh, sorry about that." Ryu replied and got a vein in his temple.

"Or rather…WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?!" He yelled and everyone glanced over to the gates. Reina stifled her laugh as Kouya shook his head in amusement, making his mane shimmer like silky golden threads.

"Move, you're in the way." Ren said with an annoyed expression plastered to his face.

"Hey boy, don't get too cocky with us."

"Just turn around and go home."

"I said you're in the way. Didn't you hear me?" Ren asked, as Reina shifted to a kneeling position, ready to spring towards them if needed.

"Kouya…" Reina murmured, the black Kirin nodded and disappeared from beside her, Reina gazed back down and frowned at the situation that was unfolding in front of her eyes.

"Looks like I'll have to hurt you to make you understand." Ryu said as he cracked his knuckles. Ren glanced over at a motorbike that was beside him.

"Parasites." Ren said before he stomped on the motorbike, making it fall onto the ground on its side.

"Damn you! My bike!" Muscle Punch yelled.

"You defile this world." Ren said.

"Don't boss us around, kid!" Ryu yelled as they all leapt at Ren. Ren glared at them and quickly punched them or kicked them, in a mere second they were all on the ground.

He pulled out his Kwan-Dao, joining the pieces together by a chain connection them. He stood over Ryu who was groaning on the ground.

"I will exterminate all the parasites." The blade of Ren's Kwan-Dao gleamed in the moonlight as Ryu sweated and whimpered as he looked up at Ren.

Reina stiffened, ready to leap toward them but then she glanced something from the corner of her eye and immediately stopped. She quickly signaled with her hands to Kouya who stood ready and invisible beside Ren.

"Die." He plunged his Kan-Dao down but it jerked to a stop a centrimetre away from Ryu's head. Ryu slowly opened his eyes and looked up, Yoh was behind Ren holding onto the end of his Kwan-Dao. Kouya had also latched onto the blade of the Kwan-Dao with his powerful teeth.

"Heh?" Ryu looked up at them.

"You're a dangerous guy." Yoh said, Ren turned around and said.

"You came?" Yoh gazed at Ren and then said to Ryu, while Ren stared towards the trees where Reina was concealed.

"Ryu, could you stand back for a bit?" Ryu immediately nodded and backed away into the bushes while saying.

"Yes! Yes! Yes!"

"What's the meaning of this?" Yoh asked as he let go of Ren's Kwan-Dao and Ren swung it around and asked.

"How much is his life worth to you? Even if I ask, you probably wouldn't know. That's what I'd expect from someone who calls his spirits 'friends'." Yoh frowned as Ren continued to say.

"To a shaman, a spirit is just a tool to use its powers. And those who call those spirits 'friends' is idiotic."

"No bad person can see spirits, that's why I know you're not. But to treat spirits as a tool is something I can't forgive." Yoh replied.

"Huh, as if I care and also you over there!" He pointed at where Reina was hiding and said.

"No use hiding, because after I take care him I'm going after you. Also your spirit, I know it took a hold of my Kwan-Dao even if you try to hide it." Reina sighed in her mind as Yoh gaze also slid to where she was.

Reina shook her head, jumped down from the tree and signaled for Kouya to come back. The black Kirin appeared beside Yoh and Ren and then trotted back to Reina and his golden claws dug into the ground as he bent down low and narrowed his now cold, golden eyes at Ren.

"I look forward to that, Ren." Reina replied as she looped an arm around Kouya's neck and grinning as Yoh waved at her while saying.

"Yo! Reina, didn't notice you there." Reina waved back and then pointed out.

"Hi Yoh and let me give you a piece of advice, you should look in front. Ren doesn't appear to be too happy." Ren growled at her and Kouya let out a threatening rumble that transformed into a growl. Reina brushed her fingers through his silky golden mane and murmured.

"Not yet Kouya."

"But Mistress , he was threatening…" Reina cut him off by staring into his hard topaz eyes and saying firmly.

"It's okay Kouya, it's not like I'm gonna get killed by him. I'm not that weak." Kouya nodded and let Reina scratched him under his chin as she gazed back at the two that were facing each other.

"Bason!" Ren said and his spirit appeared behind him. Yoh took hold of the wooden sword that was on a motorbike, pulled it out and then said.

"I'm gonna borrow this, 'kay?"

"O…Okay!" Ryu replied while making a circle above his head with his arms.

"Amidamaru!" Yoh said.

"Here!" Amidamaru replied and appeared behind Yoh.

"I'll show you how to use a tool." Ren said.

"I told you, they're friends!" Yoh replied.

"You disgust me" Ren spat and then called out.

"Bason! Spirit Ball Mode!"

"Amidamaru! Spirit Ball Mode!"

"Hyoi Gattai!" They both yelled in unison as the spirits entered their bodies.

Reina walked over to where Ryu was and stood beside them, Kouya pawed the ground his claws scraping into the hard ground. Manta glanced up at Reina and then at the black Kirin that stood behind her, then he gazed back at the battle that was about to start.

"W…What was that?" Ryu stammered and Manta replied.

"A fight between shamans." Ryu looked over at Manta and asked.

"Shamans?" Manta remained silent and so did Reina. Suddenly they charged at each other and their weapons clashed together, Yoh quickly pushed Ren's Kwan-Dao aside and swung at him from the side.

Ren leaped up into the air and spun his Kwan-Dao above his head before he swiped it down diagonally at Yoh's head. Yoh ducked and drew the wooden sword down at Ren, Ren easily blocked it and they continued to fight equally. They came face to face with each other and Ren spat out.

"This world has been defiled too much. I'm going to cleanse it! I'm the one chosen to be Shaman King. I'm the only shaman needed! So you must disappear!"

"You're not acting very nice!" Yoh retorted. Ryu's group had gathered at the side and were all watching in awe. Reina's gleaming eyes shot towards Ryu.

'He can see them, but not very clearly. He has shaman abilities.' Reina thought as Ren jabbed his Kwan-Dao at Yoh who struck the blade aside every time.

Yoh lifted the wooden sword and prepared to swing it down on Ren, Ren grinned and swung the back of his Kwan-Dao up and knocked Yoh's sword back.

"Bason! Chuuka Zanmai!" Ren yelled and jabbed his Kwan-Dai furiously at Yoh. Reina crossed her arms in front of her chest and continued to watch the fight progress.

"This is nothing!" Amidamaru said as he lifted the wooden sword up high and yelled.

"If we can't dodge it, we'll just have to strike it down!" He swung the wooden sword down and knocked the Kwan-Dao out of its intended path.

The blade of Ren's Kwan-Dao sliced a motorbike that was behind Yoh clean in half. Ren's golden eyes widened in disbelief as his Chuuka Zanmai failed, he gritted his teeth as Yoh ran behind Ren. Ren straightened and declared.

"Playtime is over."

"Playtime?" Yoh asked as he took heaving breaths.

"What do you mean?" Amidamaru demanded, Ren ignored them and yelled.

"Bason! Hyoi 100%!" Bason let out a shout and they charged towards Yoh. Yoh lifted the wooden sword to block as Ren shouted.

"Useless!" Yoh was flung backwards and he smashed through a gravestone and tumbled backwards on the ground.

"Yoh kun!" Manta yelled as Reina uncrossed her arms and started towards them while placing her hands on the hilt of her Sais.

"What was that just now?" Yoh asked as he struggled to stand up, he looked up and saw Ren towering over him, smirking.

"Have fun with your 'friend' in the other world." Ren laughed as Yoh pushed himself up.

"CHUUKA ZANMAI!!!!" Ren yelled and thrust his Kwan-Dao at Yoh a gust of wind swept past them, the Kwan-Dao stopped a metre away from Yoh.

Yoh stood frozen to the spot, suddenly the wooden sword was sliced in half and blood spurted from his left shoulder. He fell back into the bushes and remained motionless, Reina let out a snarl and immediately darted forwards.

"I'll distract him, you go get Yoh!" Reina shouted as she ran, Ren advanced towards Yoh, her hair flew out behind her as her speed increased dramatically.

"Hurry up!!!!" Reina yelled as the blade of her Sais flashed as they were drew from their sheaths. Manta jolted to action as Ryu instructed the others to get on their motorbikes, Reina charged forwards, Kouya beside her.

"There's not enough time to do Hyoi Gattai!" Reina shouted and grimaced as she thought.

'I guess I have to push the limits of the seal.'

Reina suddenly vanished and reappeared in front of Yoh, the others stared in amazement at her insane speed. Reina bought her Sais up in a cross and blocked the finishing blow intended for Yoh, Reina grinned up at Ren and with a mighty push she shoved him away from Yoh.

"Reina…" Yoh rasped out she glanced back and murmured.

"I'm strong, just worry about getting yourself out of here and leave the rest to me." Reina gave him a swift smile before she pounced onto Ren, he sneered as he bought his Kwan-Dao up at Reina who simply moved out of the way at the last second.

Ryu drove his motorbike up to Yoh and extended a hand to him, Yoh grinned, he was clutching at his shoulder but then he reached out a hand towards Ryu. Ryu quickly grabbed hold of Yoh's hand and pulled him on.

"Reina san!" Manta shouted, they all gazed at Reina who looked like she was dancing out of Ren's reach every time he attacked and landing hits on Ren and then spinning out of the way as the blade slashed at her. She turned to them, her hair flying out around her face and yelled.

"Hurry up and get going!" She didn't even glance backwards as she swiftly leapt up into the air to avoid a flashing blade that would have cut through her middle.

Ryu nodded at her and he sped out of the graveyard followed closely by the others, soon they were gone. Reina came down on the wooden part of Ren's Kwan-Dao, she quickly lifted her hand above her head and yelled.

"Kouya! Spirit Ball Mode!"

"Here!" Kouya flew into the palm of her hand and Reina bought her hand down and shouted.

"Hyoi Gattai!" Kouya sunk into her body and a dark purplish red aura surrounded her in a swirling mass.

Ren flung Reina off his Kwan-Dao, she spun in the air and landed gracefully and twirled her Sais in her hand, stepping sideways slowly. Ren followed her movements and suddenly asked.

"Why did you help him?" Reina gazed calmly at him and a shiver tingled up his spine as she replied in a fake cheerful voice.

"Maybe, because he's a friend of mine." Ren scoffed and said.

"You're exactly the same as him." Reina grinned and licked her bottom lip and replied in a voice that had lost all its fakeness.

"Well, let's see about that." Ren's eyes widened at the deadliness in her voice, suddenly she disappeared from his sight.

He winced as a deep cut appeared on his arm, he swung his Kwan-Dao in where the attack came from, but met nothing but air. He spun around searching for her but the he felt something loop around his neck from behind, he struggled against it and a voice whispered.

"Don't move, unless you want your head to be separated from your body." Ren froze as he heard the coldness in her voice and he felt cold, biting metal press against his throat.

'She's fast!' Ren thought as Reina tightened her grip around him, but before she could grab hold of his arms Ren growled and elbowed her forcefully in the stomach.

Reina let out a gasp of pain and stumbled backwards, Ren swung in a circle around above his head and then spun it down sideways at her head. Reina's eyes widened as she saw the sharp, biting blade approach her neck, she gritted her teeth and ducked downwards.

Strands of dark grey hair fell to the ground, Reina jumped backwards as Ren advanced forwards and trampled onto her hair that littered the ground. Ren had sliced of some of her hair instead of her head, Reina smirked as she fingered her know shoulder length hair as she thought.

'I should consider myself lucky to have avoided that attack.' She looked up and exclaimed cheerfully, in a tone that would annoy Ren.

"Thanks a lot Ren, I was thinking of having a haircut." Then she shouted.

"Hyoi 100%!!" Ren growled and yelled.

"Chuuka Zanmai!!" Reina let out a light laugh as she struck down the blade with her own Sais.

She danced out of the way and leapt up into the night sky, her Sais held in front of her in the shape of a cross. Her knees bent as she landed and swiftly charged at Ren, her body low as she darted forwards like a shadow.

Ren's eyes widened as she forcefully knocked his Kwan-Dao up with a Sai and used her other Sai to slice at his neck. Ren leapt backwards but then winced when a small but deep cut appeared on his cheek.

Reina jumped backwards and they regarded each other in somewhat respect before Reina flicked her short hair from her face and grinned before they engaged in battle once more.

Clashes rang out in the cemetery as they charged at each other, sparks flew from their blades as they collided together. The trees bent over groaning as the force of their clashing furyoku erupted again and again.

Reina was beginning to tire, the tattoo had started to burn and pulse, she winced as it flared and instinctively reached up a hand and clasped it around her tattoo.

'Crap, this is not good, the seal is starting up again!'

'Stupid tattoo, always starting up when I'm doing something that might kill me!'

Reina growled as Ren's Kwan-Dao swiped low at her legs, she quickly leapt up and charged at Ren with her Sais held firmly in her hands. She stuck at him with her limited strength and then shot backwards as he tried to slice her in half.

'I can't win against him right now like this! I need to get out of here!'

Ren smirked at the chance, his Kwan-Dao up and sliced her up her right arm and across her left leg. Her Sais clattered to the floor as blood dripped her arm and onto the dry ground. Reina leapt backwards, landing roughly and clutched at her arm which was now streaming blood rapidly.

"Mistress!!" Kouya shouted as he came out of her body, Reina fell to her knees as the pain built up in her head and know also from her injured arm and leg.

Reina winced as she pressed her fingers down had on the wound and tried to staunch the bleeding, Ren walked over to her and stood over her.

"It's over, I admit you are stronger than that idiot who calls spirits 'friends'. But I am the strongest, because I will become the Shaman King."

He smirked as he lifted his Kwan-Dao above his head and swung it down, Reina remained motionless but then she looked up. Ren's eyes widened as he saw that her eyes were burning fiery red, they were cold, hard the eyes of a killer.

A swirling wind surrounded her and Ren was blasted backwards by the force that slammed into him like a concrete wall. Several gashes appeared on his body and the blade of his Kwan-Dao trembled at the pressure in the atmosphere.

Ren glanced up as he skidded backwards and saw a barrier pulsing around Reina, a wave of dust swirled around her as she smirked.

The air became suffocating and heavy like a smothering blanket had been thrown over them, streaks of electricity flashed around her in a protective wall as she stood up.

Ren choked as the air became harder and harder to breathe in, Reina's eyes flashed crimson. The pressure in the air immediately lifted but the wind around her lingered, there was a small puddle of blood at her feet.

'What the hell is that?' Ren thought as he stared at her pale face and her flowing onyx black hair that seemed to dance in the wind that blew only around her.

Her lips were pale pink, her eyes glowing blood red and there seemed to be a shadowed pair of black wings that arched up beside her, she looked like an angel but at the same time a demon.

Suddenly the angelic wings faded like a disappearing illusion, Ren blinked his eyes furiously and shook his head. Her hair was once again shoulder length and dark grey. Reina stood up slowly and began to limp away, blood dripping from her slender fingers and onto the hard, dry ground.

"Let's go Kouya." She murmured as she lurched forwards towards her Sais that were on the ground, she bent down and picked them up.

She tucked them into her belt, her blood smeared onto their shining blade, staining it red but she didn't stop to wipe it off. Kouya loped up beside her and nudged her towards the gates of the cemetery.

"Where do you think you're going." Ren demanded and Reina called over her back.

"Away from you." Ren stepped after her but was halted in his steps by another powerful gust of wind.

Reina glanced back and Ren saw that her eyes were once again pulsing scarlet but this time he also noticed a strange mark that was glowing furious crimson on her neck. Kouya wrapped his tail around Reina and supported her weak body with his own.

"Hold our fight for now." Ren started to step towards her but was stopped when Reina yelled.

"If you come after me, I'll kill you." Ren froze at the sound of her voice, it was harsh, cold, hard and merciless. A menacing aura emitted from her, its tendril reached him and a cold shiver ran up his spine.

Ren sagged and fell to his knees as the aura overpowered him, sweat dripped from his brow and when he looked up, she was gone. Reina had disappeared into the night like she was never there in the first place.

'Who the hell is she? She's not normal, her eyes…they were blood red and her furyoku…she wasn't even using Hyoi Gattai.' Ren thought and then turned around and strode away.

'I will find out…'
