It's been 3 days since Kaoru left home. She was in a hotel lying in the bed.

"Urh, I need to find someone to train me. Another shaman or something" she said to the sleeping shampoo that was on her chest. She missed three days of school and ignored her parent's calls. She sighed as she dialled Pirika's number

"Hello, Pirika" kaoru sighed when she covered her ears

"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!?" Pirika yelled

"...Urh...internet?" She said

"...seriously? Internet?!" Pirika yelled

"Fine, fine, well after that day we met Hao, and I shot that beam, I decided to learn to control my powers and get even stronger" she answered. She heard Pirika sigh

"Alright Kaoru, we'll support you. But what will you do after?" Kaoru smiled

"I'm going to join Yoh and the others" she said and hung up. She looked at her school uniform that she was wearing.

"Man, its dirty, I should change" she looked through her clothes, deciding to wear a light pink long sleeved top with the colour dark pink, and the sleeves light blue. A red and light green mini skirt with a chain. Dark blue jeans and brown convers. It was morning and she decided to keep searching. She yawned when suddenly a paper went in her face. She took it off and looks at it

"What the...?" Her eyes widened as she smiled at Shampoo, who was on her head. She finally found what she was looking for the street. She gaped at the building. A dojo. She opened the door and peaked in

"H-hello?" She said opening the door fully and closing it behind her. Shampoo got of her head and walked in

"Anyone here?" suddenly she threw her leg up and kicked behind her. She saw she kicked an old man in the stomach.

He had grey hair in a small pony tail and his eyes were a dark chocolate brown.

"S-Shoot" she muttered. The man crouched down and held his stomach.

"I'm sorry sir, are you alright?" She asked him.

"Heh, that's what I get for standing behind a girl with powers" Kaoru's eyes widened as she stood up.

"H-how do you know?" He chuckled

"My dear girl, I have been watching you since you were a baby" he said

"So you know my name and how I was born?" she asked. He nodded.

"You're Kaoru, daughter of the great spirit" he said. "And I'm your mentor to help you control your powers, call me Takaroshi-sensei" he said bowing.

"O-oh, nice to meet you Takaroshi-Sensei" she said bowing.

"Now, let's begin, we'll see what you can do" he said punching her stomach. Kaoru was caught off guard as she fell on the floor groaning.

"What the hell?!" She yelled

"What? I didn't say, 'let's begin'" he said innocently.

Whilst Takaroshi was seeing how much power Kaoru had. Shampoo opened the fridge and had his nose in all the food

Xyxyxyxyxyxyxyxyxyxyxyxyxyxy xyxyx

"Hya!" Kaoru yelled punching the person in front of her 5 times but missed

"You need to be faster Kaoru-Chan!" Takaroshi yelled, slapping his hand as she fell to the ground. It had been 2 weeks since Yoh and the others left and Kaoru left home. She called Pirika and Tamao once in a while. She even found out her master was a damn right pervert. Kaoru got up and stroked the slap mark Takaroshi left on her face

"OW" they were both done and walked into the kitchen they were both having tea when Takaroshi said

"You have grown much stronger Kaoru in just 2 weeks. I'd say, in five days, you'll be able to finally join your friends" he said. Kaoru smiled.

"That's great"

Xyxyxyxyxyxyxyxyxyxyxyxyxyxy xyxyx

"Okay, thanks again for EVERYTHING" Kaoru said. She was wearing her new casual clothes, a long sleeved white top, and a yellow tank top with red miniskirt. A long dark blue socks and light brown convers. Shampoo was once again on her head

"It's alright. I've sent an email to your father. He'll be very happy to see you" Takaroshi said. Kaoru stopped and said

"About that, email him to tell him I'm not going." She said

"But why not?!" He asked. She smiled

"I have other business to attend to before I go home" she said, opening the door.

"Wait! Before you go, take this" he said pulling out a blue thin jacket. (In my deviant art there a picture of her wearing it)

"This will help you keep your powers low, so no one can detect you" he said. She put it on and smiled.

"Thank you sir, well then I'm off, hope to see you again!" She yelled about to run off.

"Wait!" He yelled again as both Shampoo and Kaoru anime-fell.

"Yes?" She asked smiling with an anime-vain on her head. He pulled out a ring

"Take this" he said. She raised her eyebrow

"What's this meant to be?" She asked putting it on her middle finger on her right hand.

"Hehe, you'll find out soon enough. Only use it when you really need to. Yell 'ice ring' and then when the weapon appears, you will yell out the name. Now you may go" he said stepping back

"Are you sure I can go?" She asked glaring at him. Takaroshi sweat dropped giving a nervous laugh.

"Y-yes, yes" he said. He looked forwards to see Kaoru running out, nearly out of sight. Takaroshi stared after the girl

"Kaoru, you have defiantly become stronger, strong enough to be a shaman...even...to defeat HIM" he muttered to himself

Xyxyxyxyxyxyxyxyxyxyxyxyxyxy xyxyx

"Kaoru-chan, I missed you so much" Tamao cried as she saw Kaoru standing at the door.

"Hey Tamao, I missed you to, what's with all the bags?" She asked

"We're also going to see master Yoh and everyone else" Kaoru smiled 'then I came at the right time' she thought.

"Why are you here?" Anna asked as she appeared. She looks pissed and her arms were crossed. Kaoru glared at her with her half open eyes.

"I'm here because I want to be" she muttered

"Excuse me" Anna interrupted

"I came because I want to go see Ren and the others" she finally said.

"Fine you can come, but you have to pull your own weight. Go and get the luggage, you to Tamao" Anna left and Manta came in

"Oh, hi kaoru, how's it been?" He asked, totally wiped out.

"I'm fine" she said

Xyxyxyxyxyxyxyxyxyxyxyxyxyxy xyxyx

"Come on, hurry up!" Anna yelled as Kaoru and Tamao pushed the trolley full of their luggage. Manta tried but was too small, so was on piggy back style on Kaoru.

"Are you sure you don't want my help" manta asked

"N-no, you should be lucky, you got short legs, so you don't need to do all this work" she said. Anna stopped as Tamao and Kaoru caught up

"I've been meaning to ask you?" Kaoru whispered. Tamao looked at her

"What happened to Pirika?"

"Oh, a week ago she left and went back to the North Pole..." Tamao said. 'Oh yeah, Pirika said something about the North Pole' she shrugged as they kept pushing towards Anna who had stopped. They both panted as Tamao said

"Kaoru and I got all our bags"

"Good, but now Manta is missing"

"Huh?" Kaoru turned and saw Manta wasn't on her back. 'That's scary...'

"I'll go look for him, let's go Kaoru" Tamao said. Kaoru nodded but stopped when they heard

"I-I'm o-over here Anna" Tamao suddenly freaked out, Kaoru sweat dropped and was kind freaked but didn't show it. Manta was shaking and was held by a man in a white raincoat and hat, with a yelled scarf. His hair was blonde and it was as though he had purple eye shadow.

"Help me please" he stuttered

"So, what do you want Faust?" Anna asked glaring at him. He smiled

"I have...a proposition for you"

Xyxyxyxyxyxyxyxyxyxyxyxyxyxy xyxyx

We were all sitting on a table, Manta was still on Faust lap and Kaoru was next to them 'I feel sick' she thought

"Nobody will team up with me, nobody will be my friend, and I CAN'T find Dobby Village, please, if you help me, I promise I will fight for Yoh" he finished. Anna glared at him

"I have new powers, I can crush you" kaoru saw as Faust eyes widened and gasped

"But I won't" she said slamming a book down on the table which made Tamao and Kaoru jump.

"Listen to me, I'll help you, but you must obey me and do as I say" she demanded. Kaoru jumped from her chair, causing shampoo to fall of her head

"Anna, are you crazy!?" She yelled

"Miss Anna, Kaoru is right, you can't" Tamao said quietly, but loud enough for Anna and Kaoru to hear it

"Well Faust, is it a deal?" She asked glaring at him.

"Yes, yes it is, it's a deal, absolutely" he stuttered. Manta turned to Kaoru. Kaoru stared at him sweat-dropping.

"B-Bad idea"

Xyxyxyxyxyxyxyxyxyxyxyxyxyxy xyxyx

Kaoru and Tamao both went off to get drinks for the others.

"Hey, so, what's up with that Faust dude?" Kaoru asked her staring at her with her sleepy eyes.

"Well, I'm not so sure about it, but I know that something bad happened between him and Manta" she said quietly as they approached the table they were all sitting at.

"Here you go Miss Anna" Tamao said placing her drink (from the anime, I'm guessing its cola)

"Here Manta" Kaoru said placing Manta's drink as she sat down as well drinking her blue slushy.

"Anna, I don't think Faust should be really joining us, don't you agree Kaoru?" He asked, but Kaoru glared at him. A look that he knew well.

"Um Anna?" Anna stopped drinking her drink

"C-calm down Manta, I'm sure if you calm down, you'll feel better" Kaoru said looking out the window to see Faust.

"CALM DOWN!? He's has a real skeleton under his rain coat!" He yelled. Anna glared at him.

"He is a little creepy" Kaoru muttered

"A little, can you even hear the 'little' come out of your mouth Kaoru!?" He yelled. Manta stopped as Anna said

"I know he was a little ruff on you before but I believe he can help us" she said. Suddenly Faust popped up

"Why don't you join my Manta?" He asked, with his spooky voice.

"Manta is busy right now, go and do sit ups" Anna said, and then left to do what Anna said. Anna explained to Manta on the journey to get the book to Yoh and how Faust will be able to help

"Ummm, excuse me Anna. But I can help as well" she said as she accidently went into the memory of Manta being one of Faust's since project.

"Oh really, what are you?" She asked flaring at her. Kaoru's eyes twitched

"Well, you could say I'm the daughter of the Great Spirit" she answered.

Xyxyxyxyxyxyxyxyxyxyxyxyxyxy xyxyx

Kaoru and Tamao were both concentrating on finding Yoh and the others. When they suddenly heard a masculine voice

"I got the carrions miss Jun, I'll go get the rest of your luggage" Kaoru suddenly remembered the name but still concentrated. 'Jun Tao' she thought.

"Jun?" Anna asked as Jun turned to her

"Anna?" She was quiet shocked from the sound of her voice.

"Oh, hey Jun, what are you guys doing here" Manta asked.

"We're going to go and join Ren that is if we can find him, hey do you have any idea where they could be?" Jun asked as she spoke with her usual English accent. Anna turned to Tamao

"Hey Tamao?" Tamao started to panic.

"Y-Yes!?" She asked turning to Anna.

"Any progress?" She asked as Tamao started to explain different directions.

"Oh, now that's a big help" Anna said. Tamao turned back to her map

"I'll keep searching, I'm sure I can find them" she said as she started to panic

"Hey Kaoru?" She looked at Kaoru as she saw her fast asleep with a bubble in her nose. She hit her head hard

"O-Ow!" She yelled as she rubbed her head.

"How's the progress!?" She yelled. 'Damn her' Kaoru thought

"Well..." She stopped and shrugged 'man, I fell asleep before I even got the vision of them'

"Keep thinking! Or I'll leave you in the desert!" Anna yelled

"W-Wait, are you Kaoru Hanabishi?!" She asked. Kaoru smiled gently

"Yup, long time no see...Jun Tao"

Well, finally Jun Tao has arrived. I'll get the next one up. see you guys soon
