Amidamaru: ;__; What about me??
GS: You're still an active part of the series! I can't buy you yet!

Author's Notes: My disclaimers have been getting rather strange lately. But oh well...at least they're funny! OMG- -the worst horror ever! Chocolove on a caffeine buzz! What else will I think of with this crazy fic?!

A Dream Come True?
Chapter Eleven
~***~
So we headed to the train station and bought our tickets to Osaka. Thank God Opacho and Chocolove weren't coming with us, but Ren and Horo were. And they were sitting across from Yoh, Mari and myself, along with Macchi.
"Come on, Ren! Give it over! I got it first!"
"But you got up, so now it's MY turn! Back off!"
"Dammit, move over!"
"Stop pushing!"
"HEY!! I'm trying to read here!"
"Oh be quiet."
"YOU be quiet!"
"Move OVER, Ren!!"
"NO!!!"
That was enough for me. I focused the biggest fireball I could in my hand and held it inches away from Ren's face. "REN!!! LET HORO HAVE THE ******* ARMREST ALREADY!!!!"
Ren immediately removed his arm from the armrest. Horo put his own arm on it and grinned. I dissipated the fireball and sat back down.
"You two are the most idiotic shamans I've ever met," I snapped. "You're supposed to be fighting to be Shaman King, not King of the Armrest! What's so special about a damn armrest, anyway?!"
Horo glared at me. "It's MINE."
"Sorry I asked...jeez."
Mari whispered in my ear. "Sometimes I wonder which one is Tweedle Dee and which is Tweedle Dum."
"So do I," I grumbled.
~***~
So as soon as we got to Osaka we checked into a hotel, four to a room. Unfortunately, Anna was the one who split us up. Yoh, Anna, Ren, and Horo in one room; Kanna, Mari, Macchi and I in the other. I have the distinct feeling that Anna did it on purpose...
After we put our stuff up we headed out into the city. "So where's the one that was first possessed?" I asked Kanna.
She glanced around. "Should be around here somewhere..."
We all followed her to a Shinto shrine. The screams coming from inside the building made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. "I don't really like the sound of that."
Ren smirked. "What's the matter? Scared?"
I glared at him. "At least I wasn't fighting with Horo over a stupid armrest."
"Shut up!"
"Both of you shut up," Anna growled. "We've got more important things to worry about."
Before we could enter the shrine a scared-looking priest came barreling out. "Don't go in there!! Whatever you do, stay AWAAAAAAAAY!!!"
Horo blinked. "All of a sudden I feel like we're in an episode of Scooby-Doo."
Ren stared at him. "What's Scooby-Doo?"
"Never mind."
We headed into the shrine. A miko was sitting cross-legged on the floor, her gaze focused downward. When she looked up we saw that her eyes were bright red, and she was smirking at me.
"Well, well," she said smugly. "If it isn't Asakura Hao. It's been quite a while since you defeated my brother Etsuya."
I stuck my tongue out at Anna. "Ha! See? I defeated him after all."
She rolled her eyes. "Get over yourself."
"AHEM!!!" the demon shouted. "Can I continue?!"
We were quiet, but Anna and I kept glaring at each other.
"Thank you. My name is Kazeko, the Wind Demon. By possessing this miko alone I have placed many under my control- -all to lure you here, Asakura Hao."
I shrugged. "Hate to disappoint you, but I'm not Hao. We both hit our heads at the same time and switched bodies."
Then I realized I was in the presence of the three Demented Fangirls. They all stared at me in shock. "Whoops..."
Kazeko's eyes narrowed. "Nice try. I may be a demon, but I'm certainly not a fool. Perhaps the terrors of my labyrinth will make you appreciate my power."
Her eyes glowed bright red, so bright it blinded us. I shut my eyes tightly, then blinked a few times. The light had faded, but there was an enormous maze in place of the shrine!
Yoh was standing next to me with a puzzled look on his face. "Where are we? And where did everybody else go?"
The sound of Kazeko's laughter rang through the halls. "Welcome to my labyrinth. You're in a separate dimension, created by my brother to test humans of unusual strength. Only when you can find your friends will you be able to find and defeat me. But beware- -these doors hold all sorts of monsters and terrors of the night. Be cautious of which doors you open."
With another peal of pointy, bleeding-eardrums laughter she was silent. "Thank God for small favors," said Yoh, removing his index fingers from his ears. "We'll be lucky if we don't go deaf."
"Well, looks like it's just you and me," I sighed.
"Ahem."
"Sorry, Amidamaru. Let's start in on this bitch of a maze. Wonder where this door leads..."
I opened the door just to my right.
The werewolf inside blinked.
"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Yoh ran up and slammed the door shut. "D-damn!! That demon lady wasn't kidding when she said there were monsters in here!"
As we walked on I glanced around nervously. "I never thought I'd be saying this, but there's no place like home. There's no place like home..."
"Hao?" said Yoh.
"What?"
"Shut up."
Hao: *ahem* What about me?
GS: *rolls her eyes* Oh, okay. Fine. I'll buy Hao's copyrights only.
