NEW SHAMAN IN TOWN

ML: Well, here's the next chapter, I hope it's gonna be good (Feels Anna putting her hands on my neck)

Anna: Listen here, and listen well.  You're going to have Yoh rescue me, or you won't live to write another story!  GOT IT?

ML: I… (Gag) was going to (gag) write it (gag) this chapter (gag) GET OFF MY NECK!

Anna: WHOA!  (Lets go) I never knew you could be so mad!


ML: Apparently, I can.  You've got synopsis duty. 

Anna: Ok, last time, Yoh complained, and I handily threw in more.  Then James shows up, and lures us over to where Len was, and he kidnapped me!

ML: Yeah.  That's the jist of it.  I don't own Shaman King, but I DO own James.  ROLL IT!

Chapter 4 – Rescue

(MORTY'S POV)

            I'd seen Yoh angry before, so did Amidamaru, but I never seen him THIS mad!  After all, his biggest rival, and so-called new friend kidnapped his fiancée!  I mean, if your biggest rival were to do that to you, you'd go berserk too.  But on his face right now, was just sadness, but I'm getting ahead of myself here.

(NARRATOR'S POV)

            Yoh was a wreck.  Well, that basically described it.  After all, his fiancée got kidnapped, and he had two choices: Confront the two kidnappers with Amidamaru, or go in, guns a blazing with Trey and risk having Anna get killed!  But right now, he was just a mess.  His eyes were red from crying, and he was 10 times less than the boy he was.  Trey said, "Listen buddy, we'll get her back."

            "HOW CAN I?"  Yoh screamed.  "My Fiancée's kidnapped, and I couldn't protect her!"  He just cried some more.

            "Listen Yoh, we were all knocked out by James' and McVeigh's gas bomb.   It's not your fault!"  Amidamaru tried to explain.  But he was met with another outburst from Yoh.

            "LOOK!  HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU GUYS?"  Yoh screamed while in tears.  "It was my fault that Anna got kidnapped, and she's going to get killed because of me!" 

            "She's just trying to help, Yoh."  Morty said, "Now listen, are you going to let Len do this to you, or are you going to rescue her?"  He continued.

            "He's right, you know?"  Said Rio.  The dead enders were all behind him.  He said, "Listen, we'll get her back.   Don't worry." 

            Yoh instantly cheered up, and said, "What are we waiting for guys?  Let's get Anna back!"       

            Meanwhile at the park, Len and James were having one heck of a time trying to get Anna restrained.  After all, when one tried, Anna would just slap at him.  However, James took out a can of pepper spray from his pocket, and sprayed it in Anna's eyes.  She was immediately blinded, and Len tied her up instantly. 

            "Perfect.  Now to wait for that weakling of a Shaman to come."  Len said. 

            "We'll be ready for him."  James replied, and the two began to wait.

            Speaking of the so-called "weakling shaman", Yoh, Trey, Morty and Rio were walking in the park, trying to find out where exactly were the two kidnappers were.  However, an assassin spirit showed up, and Trey immediately decided, "I'll hold him off, guys!  You guys just go find Anna!"  Morty, Rio and Yoh had no choice.

            Morty said, "You know, it's too quiet.  Something has to happen."  As soon as he said those words, another assassin spirit showed up, and Rio immediately called up Tokagero.  He said, "Go!  I'll catch up!" Morty and Yoh left right away.

            As soon as they reached a spot where James and Len were a few feet away, Yoh said, "Morty, wait here.  If you come with me now, Anna's going to get killed." 

            Morty tried to protest, but Yoh told him to "Trust me." 

            Yoh walked up, and Len saw him.  "Well, if it isn't the 'weakling shaman' who thinks all ghosts are his friends!  Time to change his tune!"

            James said, "You better do what's good for you, and hand over that samurai!"             

            Yoh replied, "Not this time, pals."  He then said, "Let's do it!"

Yoh: AMIDAMARU!  SPIRIT FORM!!  UNITY!!!

            Len and James nodded, and decided now would be the time to fight!

James/Len: BASON/CAPONE!  SPIRIT FORM!!  UNITY!!!

            Len had the first shot.  "BASON!  RAPID TEMPO!" 

            However, Yoh was more faster, and blocked with more precision.  Yoh/Amidamaru replied, in merged voices, "Let's see if you can block this!  CELESTIAL SLASH!" 

            James/Capone said, "I don't think so, see?  RAPID TOMMY GUN SHOT!" 

            Yoh blocked those too, and attacked James with all he got.  However, he was starting to show fatigue.  Beads of sweat were coming down his forehead, and Len decided to take advantage! 

Len: PERFECT UNITY!  VORPORAL CUTTING DANCE!

            But before Len could finish the move, Tokagero/Rio blocked it, and said, "I don't think so." 

Tokagero/Rio: TOKAGE KENPO… QUICK DRAW!

            Len felt the attack hard, and as his spear dropped, so did he. Yoh then took the opportunity to free Anna.  But as he did, he felt a bullet pierce his shoulder, and he dropped in pain.

            "Yoh!"  Anna screamed, and ran to his side.  James said, "Well, the two lovers are back together.  Too bad it WON'T last." 

            Rio said, "You're going to pay!"  And he started to strike at Capone.  While the two were engaged in combat, Morty saw Yoh, and immediately wrapped up his shoulder.  He whispered something to Anna, and she smiled. 

            "One for my mother, two for my relatives back home!"  She said.  Yoh knew what she was doing, and exorcised Amidamaru.  "ELLIOT NESS!  UNITE WITH YOH!"

            "Who?  What's going on?  CAPONE!"  He saw Capone, and knocked him out with the butt of a small handgun.  James was immediately knocked out too, and Rio exorcised Tokagero.  Trey showed up, and saw it.  "Aw man, I missed the action!"  He said, with frustration.

            While Morty, Rio, and Trey were walking home via a separate route, Yoh and Anna were walking along the park.  Yoh was looking at the stars and moon, and Anna said, "Yoh?"

            Yoh looked over, and said, "Yes?"

            "Thanks for coming for me back there. Even though you got shot, I still think you're stronger than I thought." Anna continued.

            "Thanks, Anna."  He immediately began to lean in, and Anna leaned in as well.  Before the two knew it, Yoh Asakura and Anna Kyoyama shared their first kiss.  Anna was careful not to touch Yoh's sore shoulder.  As the two broke off the kiss, Anna said, "By the way, Yoh.  After that shoulder heals, I want you to start training just as hard as before." 

            "Yes Anna."  Yoh said.  The two walked home after that, holding hands.

END

Well, I thought I would never end that.  R&R!
