Note: RGH! MY! HANDS! HURT! They're tired they're tired they're too
tired!!
The Dark Side:Sasi Do Akovara-Fact Or Fiction?
Yeno looked back over his shoulder as he frowned in nervous
anticipation. 'I hope they hurry.' Yeno said as he shivered again.
While Manta and Kaki-Ri had been gone, even in the short time it had
been, he and Amidamaru had gotten even colder, while Yoh's fever had
gotten a little better, but was still pretty bad.
A sick feeling would have let itself be known to Yeno were he still
alive as Yoh's fever dropped little by little as the other spirits near
them all left.
'What's wrong, Lord Yeno?' Amidamaru asked as his eyes followed Yeno's
movements of pacing back and forth.
'I'm just nervous. I've seen this before. In someone other than Yoh.
It was in, oh, I don't remember!' Yeno replied.
'Think, Yeno. Maybe we'll be able to calm his fever more if you can
remember who had it and how they stopped it.'
'A medium, a royal medium, he didn't faint, though, but, he was,
possessed.'
'Who or what by?'
'A God. It's hazy, I was half-asleep when my love and I saw it
happen.'
'Which one? Are you saying that Lord Yoh may have just been possessed
by a God?'
'Yes. It was, it was Anubis. The medium asked him for advise on the
future, and Anubis possessed him, and told Kaki-Ri's father of the
information. He said, there was a price to learning about the future
before it comes, he'd have to pay a price for the knowledge. Then,
Anubis released the royal medium and the medium became, tired, almost.
He retreated from sight, but, he was sweating.'
'Do you remember the medium's name?'
'His name was similar to Yoh's, it was something like Yoh. I think it
was Noh. Noh Asakura.'
'Asakura- Yeno! That long ago, for that name, it would have been Lord
Yoh's great grandfather six times over by now!'
'I didn't see the medium again after he retreated, it was like he'd
disappeared.'
'Yeno, were there spirits there?' Amidamaru asked as he closed his eyes
and shivered again. 'Did y- you see any spirits there while you w-
were there? If so, how did they react?'
Yeno's face fell as he watched Yoh's hair turn a barely noticable shade
of gray. 'There were ten spirits there. Kaki-Ri and I had to huddle
together to keep warm around them, because we couldn't let anyone see
us together. But when the possession stopped, t- they stopped sh-
shivering as much.'
'Then why are we still cold?'
"He's still possessed!" came Manta's voice as he and Kaki-Ri ran back
up to the two ghosts.
Yeno turned paler than before. 'Possessed still?' he asked.
Kaki-Ri nodded. 'Yes! He is possessed by the one in the old spell he
and Manta found!'
Amidamaru's eyes widened as he, too, turned much paler. 'I thought you
said that Sasi Do Akovara wasn't real! That he was just a legend!'
'That is what my father assured the kingdom of. But apparently he's
real. Yoh's been possessed by him, and he's taking the energy from
ghosts around him to support his spirit long enough to use Yoh's body
for something without ripping Yoh apart.'
"We've got to figure out how to get rid of the possessor!" Manta said.
'I may have a way.' Amidamaru said as he shivered.
"How?"
'A spell released the thing, maybe a spell an return it?'
"Brilliant! I'll go and look for one in my books!"
Yeno snickered and shook his head. 'I don't think you'll be able to
find this one in your text books.' he said. 'It's got to be one likely
to work.'
"Oh, ok, well-"
Amidamaru snapped his fingers. 'Try for finding an old scholar! Or a
witch!' he said.
"Great idea!"
Kaki-Ri glanced up from Yoh and over to the others. 'We had better
hurry. If we don't get this fever down, he will die.' he informed the
group. 'Also, if he isn't freed of the Sasi Do Akovara soon, we will
fade out of being. We'll simply cease to exist.' Kaki-Ri held up his
arm to them as they gasped, showing them that he was now more see-
through than before in his arm.
'Kaki-Ri!' Yeno yelled.
Amidamaru glanced at Yeno and his expression became nervous. 'Yeno,
Kaki-Ri isn't the only one disappearing, look down!'
Yeno glanced down to his feet and gasped. He couldn't see his legs
anymore!
'My legs!'
Manta's face became a picture of pure horror as he pointed to Amidamaru
and his left arm, his jaw down to the ground. "Your- your arm, it's,
it's gone!" he screamed.
'Wha-? No!' Amidamaru gasped as he looked to where his arm used to be.
'That was the only arm I could hit or block with!'
Yeno whimpered as he watched his knees slowly disappear or block with!'
Yeno whimpered as he watched his knees slowly disappear from sight.
'Yeno, go out of here. I won't see you killed before my eyes a second
time. Once was horrible enough.' kaki-Ri said as he hugged Yeno
tightly.
'Kaki-Ri-- no. I can't let you stay alone.'
'Alright, then, but please. Stay back from Yoh.'
'Deal, love.' Yeno replied.
"Amidamaru, your other leg!" Manta yelled as Amidamaru's leg started to
disappear before his eyes.
Amidamaru looked down at the disappearing limb with worry. 'And all on
the same side.' he said quietly as he sighed.
Yeno ran off to search for a local witch or scolar's spirit.
Moments later, Yeno skidded to a stop and smiled as a girl came up
behind him, ignoring his disappearing arm. 'I found the girl!
Nightshade! She's a great witch! Smart, too!' he yelled.
'Hello.' she said.
"Great!" Manta yelled out.
'I need room to work, please.' Nightshade said in a gentle voice as
everyone backed up. 'Thank you very much.'
With this, Nightshade cosed her eyes and put her right hand on Yoh's
forehead, her left one on Yoh's heart, giggling at Manta's quiet
jealous frown.
'Remove yourself from this boy's soul,
You have no business being there,
Remove your control from this Shaman's body,
He is dying,
Be gone from him,
This is your warning!'
Yoh's eyes squinted tightly together, as did the other spirits' of the
raveyard, as a yellow glow formed around Nightshade's hands and covered
Yoh.
Manta watched in awe as the glow only succeeded to make Yoh even more
beautiful.
'Return now from where you came,
Forget the vessel which uttered your name,
This boy is not your body true,
Do as I command you to,
Leave his soul and his mind free,
I command you Sasi do you hear me?'
Amidamaru looked down at his leg and arm as the yellow light
surrounding Yoh flew from Yoh and hit his leg and arm, hitting Yeno's
legs and arm and Kaki-Ri's arm and torso.
'I do believe she's done it!' Yeno cried in relief as he grinned down
at his legs, glad that he could see them again.
Nightshade smiled as she backed away from Yoh, the glow dying down.
