Kaitoson here with chapter 21 of The Ninja, the Ainu and the Arrogant

Yes I am back bringing you chapter 21, sorry about the wait but here is the newest chapter.

To lil'rockgirl--I don't love Ren (I'm not that kind of dude) but I do like Ren, he's my second favorite character (I just got volume 9 of the Manga and he's on the cover and it looks so cool)...and yeah I like his pointy hair.

Disclaimer--I do not own Shaman King...because if I did either Horohoro or Ren would have won the tournament.

Here we go...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Last time on The Ninja, the Ainu and the Arrogant, Ren was in a fierce battle with Krinner, the spirit inside the body of Tempest Storrm, Indy was battling her older brother Rezius, and Zeto was entering the Inn while Yoh, Faust and Lyserg tried to hurry back.

Rezius--...Hmm...You have gotten better Cindy...you can block and even dodge some of my attacks.

Indy--...Rezius, family ties meen nothing to me anymore...I'm going to fight you with everything I have!

Rezius--Haha then you can't blame me for doing the same...haha get ready...

As they were fighting Ren, who just barely dodged an attack from Krinner, relized something was wrong

Ren--Indy! Get away from him! He has been masking his true--"THUD"

Because of his distraction Ren was to late to see Krinner attack and took a hard hit to his chest, luckily however Krinner's attach only hit Ren with the blunt other side of the sword but Ren still staggers because of the hit and is blinded for a couple seconds only to just see a sword aiming for his head, he tries to dodge but Krinner grabs him from behind and put his sword across Rens neck

Krinner--Ren don't be so distracted, forgetting an enemy can mean a horrible death...like thi--"SLICE"..."thud"

Horohoro--...What was that about forgetting an enemy huh?...Looks like he's done for good, and since he was already dead...technically im not a killer.

What happened was while Krinner was distracted with Ren, Horohoro snuck up from behind him and impaled him with a large icicle in the middle, and the spirit of Krinner, who looked like a pretty nomal teenage boy, left Tempest's body and flew off.

Ren--You idiot that was MY fight!

Horohoro--Shut pointy head I saved your life and you know it, so be gratefull.

While they argued Indy was still fighting Rezius but as she got tired he seemed fine.

Rezius--Your slowing down...tired already? To bad because if you slow down you DIE!

He attacks but right before impaling her with his sword a figure steps in front of the attack getting stabbed but also impaling Rezius aswell...

Indy--...Wha...no...

---------------------------------------------

Back at the inn...

Zeto--Um hello Anna...may I come in for a moment?

Anna--Where is Yoh and the others?

Zeto--Uh...well we defeated Hao and...uh there hurt so they stayed there...and Yoh told me to come back her and get you.

From a few feet outside a tall figure comes over...

Ryu--Ah Miss Anna, I have come here to help Yoh and the others...where are they?

Anna--...They already left idiot...now shut up I'm talking to him.

Zeto--...You are Ryu right?

Ryu--Yes I am...do I know you?

Zeto--He did tell me there was a pompadour one...I guess thats you...hff...ah well looks like I might have to take you out if I wish to complete my mission...

Ryu--Mission?...I dont know what you are talking about but I shall not lose to you if you wish to fight, especially in front of Miss Anna, Right Tokagero?

Tokagero--Right Ryu lets go...

-----------------------------------------------------

"Huff" "huff" "huff"

Yoh, Lyserg and Faust finnally found their way back to the street of the Inn but as they were getting closer and closer...they saw a figure lying on the steps bleeding badly from many wounds... and when they were close enough to see the figure it turned out to be...

Yoh--RYU!

Lyserg--He looks like he was in a firece battle

They knelt down to him...

Faust--He is alive but barely...I can stop the bleeding but it's up to his will to survive.

So they quickly carry him in and placed him on the couch and Faust quickly went to work.

Lyserg--Ah man it looks like a tornado went off in here...

The whole inn was a wreck, with eveything smashed and broken...

Yoh--...

Yoh quickly went from room to room and upon entering the room where he left Zeneth tied up he saw Tamao crying knelt beside Zeneth whose blood was everywhere

Tamao--M..master...Yyoh...he...he saved...mme...hhe...bbroke free and triedd too ddefeatt thhat bboy bbut...

Yoh--...Tamao it's ok...it's ok...

She quickly ran to him and cried into his shirt...

Yoh--Please Tamao...where is Anna?

Tamao--She's...she's...

Right here...where were you?

Yoh turns around to see Anna standing there completly unharmed aside from a small scratch on her cheek.

Yoh--...Bbut...I thought that...

Anna--Thought what I was a weak damsel in distress that you would have to save?

Yoh--Uh weak no but...uh why didnt you help Ryu?

Anna--I was about to but I had to tie up the idiot first.

She opens a door showing Zeto all tied up with an evil expresson on his face

Anna--I thought he was just a little to stupid, I knew he came for me but Ryu was stupid and attacked him, then as I was trying to grab my beads the little idiot got lose and started to fight him and I couldn't get there quite soon enough to save him from being hurt, well he'll learn his lesson and next time maybe he'll think before he attacks...and he seemed like the smart twin.

Yoh--He's...alive?

Anna--Yes now put him in a bed, he'll be fine as long as Faust helps him.

Yoh--...Uh...but if you guys are all...relativally fine...we got to go back to help the others.

Anna--Fine, just hurry up, I just thought of a great punishment for being late to get here and I want to try it out.

Yoh--...uh yeah...we'll...uh...hurry back...

So very confused and very alarmed, Yoh grabs Lyserg and the two of them hurry back to the fight, Faust stayed to heal Ryu and Zeneth.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Back at the battlefield...

Indy--...no...why?

Htenez--"huff" "huff"...hurry...my sword...if "huff" wooden...it wont kill him...hurry...

Indy, without thinking attacks as fast as lighting

Rezius--"URG"...haha...what a great fight...I wish I could have had a rematch...but...Htenez...haha great idea haha not..."thud"

As Rezius fell his sword came out of Htenez and the boy fell to the ground breathing heavily

Htenez--I...meant what I said...I really am...sorry Cind...hn...Indy.

Indy--Dont talk so much, your wound is bad but if you reserve you energy you might make it.

As they were talking Ren and Horo came over...

Htenez--I..don't think I will...I think I'm gonna di--

Horohoro--Shut up dude and hang on!

Horo picks up Htenez and puts him on his back

Horohoro--...You two wait here, I'll bring him to the Inn and see whats happening...but uh...Ren you stay over there (Points some 10 feet away) and Indy stay over there (points some 10 feet in the other direction) Ok?

Ren--...Just go idiot!

Horohoro-...Right

So Horohoro gets on his snowboard and uses a speed boost from his mana created snow and takes off

Ren--OTHER DIRECTION IDIOT!

Horohoro--...Uh yeah of course haha I knew that...
