Beginning note: This is supposed to be a humorous fanfic. So just enjoy the humor in it. This is supposed to happen AFTER volume 20 of Shaman King. ^_^

*When you can't get enough training...*

3 - The tournament --- with results?
"Are you done yet?!" Anna yelled angrily.
"Almost!" Yoh finished putting on his battling costume and threw his casual clothing out the door of his room. "Anna, can you get these to the laundry?"
Anna frowned and picked them up. And walked away.
Suddenly, everything was silent. Yoh tip-toed out of his room, also alert. Then he made a dash for the front door. "Yoh! Come back right now!" No such luck. Anna caught him.
"Uhh---yes, Anna?" Yoh sweated majorly, trying to keep clam.
"You need to drink this to win." Anna walked to him and held out a cup filled ith a dark green liquid.
"Anna --- I don't need it. I'm totally fine without --"
"Oh but you do need this Genkicha." She quickly shoved the cup into Yoh's mouth before he had a chance to run away.
"Ugh..." Coughing and spluttering, Yoh ran to the bathroom.
A few minutes later, Anna watched the figure slowly crawl out of the room.
"C'mon. We're almost late!"
"Anna -- it's not Genkicha. It's disgusting!"
Anna frowned immensely. "I didn't hear what you said."
"Ahh -- I meant you forgot to call Chocolove!" He correctly quickly. She walked past him and went to the phone. Yoh took this chance to scramble out the main door.
***
"Yoh, you okay?"
"Do you need some of my medicine?"
Yoh coughed. "No thanks -- I'm fine." But he wasn't. His face was pale, and his body was powerless.
"Yoh-dono...perhaps you shouldn't take part in the tournament today. It's not good for you." Amidamaru suggested gently.
"No, Amidamaru. I'm FINE."
"Looks like you aren't." A voice came behind them. It was Ren, with Horo Horo and Chocolove behind him.
"You need some rest I reckon." Horo Horo said.
"No need of that..."
"If it wasn't for me to challenge you in this tournament, I wouldn't even THINK of coming!"
"What did you say?" Anna stood in front of them, hands on her hips.
"Uhh, nothing."
"Sorry I'm late Anna-sama!" Tamao hurried to the group.
"Conchi and Ponchi are here too!" The two spirits appeared from behind her. She covered her face, embarassed with her spirits' behavior.
"TAMAO?!!"
"I invited her to watch the tournament, got complaints?" Anna inquired.
Everyone shook their heads.
"Good. Get into your positions. I'll just announce the activities: Electric chair, Jumping poles, and Shaman Fight. We'll start with electric chair; Horo Horo versus Ryuu. Later, Faust VII and Chocolove will jump poles. Last, Ren and Yoh will do a shaman fight. Clear? Okay. Rules for electric chair battle: We will do this for half an hour. These little creature spirits will disturb your concentration. Whoever fails to stay up loses. I will say this first -- the losing team will need to do another hour of electric chair as their punishment."
Everyone stared at her. This itako was serious! "What are you waiting for? Hurry to the backyard!"
***
"Ready, set, go!"
And they were off. But the two weren't exactly running. They were just in the position of sitting, without a chair.
"Do your best Ryuu!" Yoh cheered despite the bad taste that still was left in his mouth.
"Don't lose Horo!" Chocolove waved at them.
After 15 minutes, both participants were dying to sit down onto the ground.
"haha..I..won't lose..haa..."
"You will...hah..lose to..haha...me..Ryuu.."
The creature spirits were making the two shamans ticklish.
***
"That was quite an interesting match, Yoh."
"Yeah, Faust. Pretty funny. I had thought both landed at the same time!"
"Yoh-sama's group is still very strong despite this loss." Tamao commented.
"Thanks Tamao."
Tamao blushed bright red.
"Hmmph. It shows that your group's Ryuu still can't our Horo Horo." Ren sneered.
"Now you got that wrong. If it was a Shaman Fight, the results would be different. Right, Anna?" Yoh gestured towards the itako.
"Yeah.."
Ren's eyes widened with surprise.
Ryuu and Horo Horo were lying on the ground, both rubbing their spine.
***
"Rules for jumping on the poles! Both of you need to jump 30 poles. Whoever makes to the end first wins. Simple enough? Okay --- Ready, get set, go!"
Chocolove was hopping like mad at the start, trying to grab his balance. As usual, Faust was having the day of his life, jumping in a pattern: "1, 2, 3, Eliza -- jump!"
But on the 25th pole, Faust lost his balance and fell down. "Hah! I win!" Chocolove called from his 20th pole catching up fast. Faust looked at Eliza's spirit and nodded. Then he jumped up with ease and continued with a pace, faster than before.
"It can't be! This is impossible!" Chocolove stopped and watched Faust with astonishment.
"Nothing is impossible if I'm with Eliza." Faust replied standing at the last pole.
"And the winner is Faust VII!!" Anna waves a flag.
"Congrats Faust!!" Ryuu yelled.
"Wuehehe, you won Faust." Yoh said, a smile on his face.
Horo Horo poked Ren. "REN! You really need to win this math otherwise we'll lose!"
"...I'll win. You know that."
"..." Horo Horo remained silent.
***
"I wonder who's gonna win..." Chocolove said nervously, biting his nails.
"I do hope Yoh-sama wins."
"Yoh WILL win."
"No one will win." The audience stared at Conchi.
"What did you say?" Horo Horo asked anxiosuly.
"I said, no one will win." Conchi repeated.
"Just exactly why you say that?" Anna asked.
"Because, we set up a mini bomb underground!" Ponchi answered joyfully. The two spirits slapped a high five.
Anna, filled with rage grabbed the spirits. "Where.Is.It."
"Barely..underground of this..backyard..." Conchi stuttered.
"How.Do.We.Avoid.It." Her expression didn't change.
"There...isn't a...way..it will just explode..in exactly..10 seconds..." Ponchi replied.
Anna let go of them and immediately called to Yoh and Ren who were getting ready.
"Yoh! Ren! The tournament is called off! Get outta there quick! BOMB!"
"...?"
"Bom--b?"
"AHHHHHHHH......"
Everyone quickly dashed to the front gate.
"---BOOM---"
The bomb exploded.
***
"I'm very sorry, I'm so sorry, please forgive them, I'm very very sorry ---"
"It's not your fault Tamao. It's your darned spirits." Anna glared at them.
"Well, it couldn't be helped." Ren said calmly.
"I wanted to see the results though..." Chocolove whined sadly.
"Stupid! It's best NOT to know the results!"
"You call me stupid! You're the stupid one!"
"Shut up. You both are stupid." Ryuu said to the two that were arguing.
"Heh. But thanks to you, Tamao, I didn't need to fight." Yoh said to Tamao, who blushed.
Anna immediately grabbed Yoh by the ear and yanked it. Hard.
"Owww! Why'd you do that Anna?"
"You say...that you didn't want to fight..?"
"Uhh...no. I said that was a sad ending, huh?"
"You didn't. Don't lie."
Yoh took the hint, got out of his chair and ran out the front door, while a yelling Anna chased after him.
Tamao breathed a sigh of relief and beamed.
***
Thoughts of Yoh:
Ahhh...I have to thank Tamao! I can't bear to think what will happen when Ren beats me. Yah, I'm sure to lose to him. And then Anna will definitely give me more training. Isn't that right, Amidamaru?
***
Thoughts of Anna:
Thanks to the two baka spirits of Tamao, the chance of Yoh winning the match decreased a lot. Perhaps I should arrange another time for those two to duel. Give Yoh more training? Or give Yoh more of my Genkicha? That would be nice.
***
Thoughts of Tamao:
Although I feel sorry for Anna-sama, I am a bit happy that Conchi and Ponchi blew up the backyard. Yoh-sama thanked me! I'm so happy! If I could live my life seeing Yoh-sama, how wonderful it would be!
***
Thoughts of Ren:
Hmmph. I would have won Yoh easily if those two THINGS didn't disrupt our fight. But I don't care. There are still many chances for me to beat Yoh. Now I still have to find a way to get stronger. Even Horo horo and that Chocolove need to improve.
***
Thoughts of Horo Horo:
It is actually lucky that the math didn't start. I can't imagine the condition that Yoh would be in after Ren beating him. Yes, Ren will definitely beat him. After all, his power increased a lot after awakening again. I will have to get stronger, I still can't forgive Ren to saying me as a clown!!
***
Thoughts of Chocolove:
Although I'm not sure what exactly happened, but it seemed to be good news that the backyard exploded. I was so bored after my match. Perhaps I should learn more jokes to entertain them. Yeah, what a great idea! What should I start with...knock-knock jokes?
***
Thoughts of Ryuu:
Anna would definitely give Yoh a good beating if he lost. Thanks to Tamao-chan's spirits, Yoh is saved! I might have to do more training too if Yoh lost. I wonder how Lyserg's doing in X-Laws? I can't wait to see his cute smile again...
***
Thoughts of Faust VIII:
Thank goodness Eliza didn't get hurt when the backyard exploded. If Eliza had a scratch on her, I would kill those two spirits for sure. I have to admit, Ren would definitely beat Yoh if the match did start. yoh was lucky. And I am too. Now Eliza doesn't need to take more painful training.
***
End of chapter and story.
End note: Whew! Done. This took a long time --- I first wrote a first draft and accidently quit it when I was nearly done WITHOUT saving! -_- So frustrating. Quite an unexpected ending huh? BTW, I do my stories on notepad. It's simple. Lol. R+R!!
