Shaman King

By MangaGirl (Tanuki.)

MangaGurl: Yeah, there's a little bit of O.O.C.ness. Oh, well. I tried really hard. (Disclaimer: I don't own Shaman King, blah, blah, blah.......)

Holy Girl Iron Maiden Jeanne was walking down the street.

This is unfair. She thought, I am the hard-as-iron maiden! I survived all of that harsh training! I am the leader of the almighty X-Laws! My soul purpose is to defeat the Great Hao. I am the powerful, the beautiful, the feared Mistress Iron Maiden Jeanne! I don't DO this!!! I DON'T-

"Strawberries or grapes?" asked Lyserg, interrupting her thoughts.

"Strawberries." She replied. Pick up groceries for Anna at the supermarket. She finished, inside of her head.

"Oh!" Tanuki, Lyserg's pet raccoon exclaimed. She leaned out of Lyserg's backpack, in 100% raccoon form. "Are we going to have strawberry shortcake?!"

Jeanne's pet fox, Kitsune, leaned out of Jeanne's purse. Her eyes were bright and happy, as if to ask the same.

"I don't see why not." Lyserg replied expressionlessly. He ordinarily would've only bought the things on Anna's list. However, not only were the two animals making a fuss about it, he knew Jeanne liked it. A LOT.

"It sounds good to me," Jeanne said quietly. Hearing this, Lyserg immediatly grabbed everything to make strawberry shortcake and put it in the cart. He grinned the entire time. He enjoyed making Jeanne happy in the little ways that he could.

They walked down the isles.

"I want to get back to the Asakura residence soon, Lyserg." Jeanne said, "I feel that something's wrong."

"Aww, Jeanne!" Tanuki said, totally blowing it off, "It's nothing! Even if there WAS something, Yoh and Anna can TOTALLY handle it!"

"I am positive that this is not something to write off as nothing, Tanuki," Jeanne said quietly.

"Plus, if Jeanne says something's wrong, then SOMETHING IS WRONG!!!" Kitsune, now in half-fox-half-human form, growled.

"What do YOU think, Master Lyserg?" Tanuki asked her master. She gave him her "look." She knew that by doing this, he would usually give in, stuttering and stammering the whole time.

"I.I guess.that I." Lyserg stuttered. He looked at Kitsune and Jeanne on one side, Kitsune growled and glared. Jeanne had her head down, being quiet and trying to not pressure Lysreg and respect what he thought.

(MangaGurl: Mistress Jeanne is such a lady! What manners! Bravo! Bravo!)

"I.." Lyserg saw Tanuki standing on the other side of him. She stared up at her master. Her eyes watered, and she was trying to look as pitiful as possible, in order to make Lyserg feel bad for her. Every so often, she'd glare back at Jeanne and Kitsune.

"I agree with Jeanne." Lyserg finished. Tanuki sighed. Kitsune cheered. Jeanne gave a small smile. And Lyserg blushed, but refused to smile.

"You have absoloutly no free will of your own." muttered Tanuki.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!

Anna sat with her hand holding up her head in boredom, legs crossed, watching Ren and Yoh train. She pretended to read a magazine.

Suddenly, a black burst of energy, covered the entire 2 mile range around the Asakura house. It was like a domed cage.

Yoh heard Anna scream. What was she so scared of?...he looked up and screamed himself! The two were joined in a chorus of shreiks from everyone else. Then, before anybody could truly figure out what was going on, the negative energy blast reached them, and they were all knocked unconscious.

Everyone had frozen, stopped doing whatever they were doing, and dropped to the ground.

No one came to claim the victims, at first. Then, the dome swirled into a large portal, located at the center of the area. Black energy tentacles ensnarled the now helpless residents, and pulled them all in without getting even a tiny struggle from any of them.

The portal sealed itself up, leaving behind undesipherable clues. It looked obvious that everyone had been captured, and even more obvious that something gigantic had shredded some walls of the house, but not a trace of what exactly happened, or who did it.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Jeanne, Lyserg, Kitsune, and Tanuki all arrived not long after the mysterious incident.

"Wha.....what happened?" Tanuki (now in 50% raccoon form.) wimpered.

The house was dripping in black goop, some walls were missing, it was dark and scary, especially under the gloomy, gray sky.

"Jeanne?" Lyserg asked, "What do you suppose DID happen here?"

"I'm not.....quite sure." Jeanne answered faintly. She seemed to be concentrating on something other than everyones' questions.

The Holy Girl then slowly approached the broken, disgusting household.

She kept her thoughts to herself. She made herself appear to be emotionless. Truly, inside, she felt a small amount of pity for the victims.

"We should explore." She announced quietly.

"Yes ma'am." Tanuki said, saluting her. Kitsune stood and did the same.(50% form.)

Lyserg and Tanuki went left, Jeanne and Kitsune went right.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

"Master Lyserg. Who do you suppose is behind all of this?" Tanuki asked cautiously.

"Hao!" Lyserg spat. He clenched his pendulum in fury, then quieted down. "However, this doesn't really seem his style..."

"You aren't making sense."

Lyserg sighed, and continued to work his way thru the debris. No real clues, yet. Just a lot of that goopy stuff.

Unbeknownst to poor Lyserg and Tanuki was that the portal had opened a tiny bit.

A slimy tentacle whipped out of nowhere. It grabbed Lyserg by the ankle and began to pull him thru the debris-fast.

"MASTER LYSERG!" Tanuki ran after him, but wasn't fast enough.

"TANUKI!" Lyserg shouted, "KITSUNE! JEA-,"

The black whip wrapped around his mouth. He struggled. He wished that he could at LEAST see where he was going.

He bent up forward (which was very painful.) and saw that he was going full speed at a portal. A dark portal. His eyes went wide. He stuggled more than ever. His eyes went teary with desperation.
