NEW SHAMAN IN TOWN
ML: All
right, here's my second chapter.
Morty: So, you're gonna do the synopsis for this one?
ML: You read my mind, Oyamada. Last
time, a new shaman made his presence felt, by challenging Yoh to a battle. Yoh won handily, and the new shaman
introduced himself as James Petersson, a Swedish boy who moved to America to a
young age. Sort of explains that he has
American Outlaws for spirits. I don't
own Shaman King, since Hiroyuki Takei, fox and 4Kids own it. I do own James, AND his spirits. ROLL NEXT CHAPTER!
Chapter 2: Anna's Interrogation
(MORTY'S POV)
As Yoh, Trey and myself slept in our respective beds (Yoh and Trey in Yoh's rented mansion and me in my house), I never thought that an American would fight like that! But, I guess when you've got the ghosts of America's most hated outlaws; I guess you can be pretty scary too. Little did I know that there would be scarier days down the road!
(NARRATOR'S
POV)
As morning struck Tokyo, Anna was up before the guys were. She washed up and left a note for Yoh. It said,
Yoh,
I won't be back for a while, since I'll be talking with your little "friend", but you're in charge of cooking for Trey, Rio and the Dead Enders. Plus, here's your training schedule for today.
4-5 mile run w/ weights
Heavy cardio
5 laps rowing
22 miles swimming
34 pounds weights
That's about it. Have fun!
Anna.
Yoh thought, 'is she EVER going to lighten up?'
Meanwhile, Anna left the house, and found the hotel that James was staying in, and decided to wait for him in the restaurant. Speaking of James, he went down and decided to have himself some breakfast. However, as he went down the stairs, he saw Anna flagging him to her table. He said, "Well, Hello. Not everyday that some girl decides to flag me over to talk."
Anna just said, "Save it. I'm taken, for your information."
James asked, "Excuse me?"
Anna said, "You know the shaman you were fighting?"
"Yes. Who is he anyway?" James asked.
"He's my fiancé." Anna answered with a as-a-matter-of-fact tone in her voice.
"I never knew that arranged marriages still exist. They don't at home." James replied.
"Because America doesn't allow them." Anna said. She continued, "So, when did you become a shaman?"
"I started training with my Grandfather at age 5. Gave me something to do. Grew up without a TV, and music was never my best subject." James answered. "As I grew up, I saw ghosts in my dreams, and I gathered up a team. Can't be beat." James continued.
"Oh, and who might that spirit team include?" Anna asked.
"The most dreaded American Outlaws in history. John Wilkes-Booth, Jesse James, Al Capone John Chapman and Timothy McVeigh." James answered between bites of his pancakes. Anna was picking at her food, but looked at him with interest.
"So what you're telling me, is that you've got four of America's dreaded outlaws and crooks as a team?" Anna asked.
"Yeah. I liked history, American history, and they fit my personality." James answered. Anna got up, and said, "You get the bill."
James just rolled his eyes, and finished his food. "Check, please." He said, as he flagged down his waitress.
Yoh was just about to finish his training as he saw Anna. He said, "What happened?"
"Your friend's an interesting one. Turns out he's got a formidable team." Anna said, but then, she continued, with a hint of concern, "Just be careful when you see him again."
"Ok." Yoh said. He got back to training.
Meanwhile, another Shaman was making lofty plans, and walked into a hotel. James was waiting. "So, what happened?" He asked.
"Those fools are just oblivious. I hate them." The voice said as he walked into the restaurant. The voice had belonged to one person. Tao Len.
"So, I never knew Chinese would be so full of hate." James said, sarcastically.
"We've got business. Since you're new in town, I figured we'd go immediately to business." Len said.
"I'm listening." James said.
"You Americans. So interested in business than anything else. There's this samurai ghost that this headphones boy, or Yoh as you call him, has, and I MUST get my hands on him!" Len explained, hitting the table with his fist.
"What's in it for me?" James asked.
"You and your spirits will work for me, and when you defeat him, you will take his ghost, but if anything happens, we'll take the other person who's important to the headphones boy." Len continued.
"Who might that be?" James asked again.
"His fiancée." Len answered. "Do we have a deal?"
"He'll be in his grave." James said, as the two began to laugh evilly.
END CHAPTER
Well, looks like Yoh could be in a world of hurt! R&R!
