Akina: So, tell me, Horo, are you gonna get Yoh this chapter?
Horo: Yes mistress.
Akina: AHAHAHAHA! It seems my evil brainwashing machine has worked. Now, go Horo, and capture Yoh for me! Oh, by the way, be prepared to make an entrance in this story, okay?
Horo: Yes, mistress.
I own Shaman King! Yeah, that's right, you heard me! I own Shaman King, and every character involved with it!!!!!!!
Just kidding... that is just a fantasy of mine...

Manta shivered as he went to school the next day. He couldn't get the image of the demon and that ghost out of his head. He was scarred for life. Just then, the first bell rang, causing Manta to shriek. He had never been late to class before! Cursing demons, he ran inside as fast as his little legs could carry him. (snort)
Yoh entered the schoolyard just as Manta stepped inside the building. "So this is a human school, huh? Not so impressive. I don't see why pups are intimidated by it (intimidation... nice)." He leisurely made his way inside the building.
Anna fiddled with her pencil, waiting for roll call. She couldn't get that evil (her thoughts) demon out of her mind. How dare he kiss her! She was practically steaming at the ears. The teacher had just opened her roll book when the door opened. Anna glanced at the newcomer with little interest, then did a quick double take. It was that demon! How dare he make an appearance at a human school! Didn't he know that even the most ignorant human can feel the weakest demon's power?
"Ah, you must be Mister Asakura!" said the teacher, visibly sweating. The demon noticed this, and it's energy, way more enormous than it had been the other night, dialed down. Anna had second thoughts about how young this one could be. "Please, come to the front of the class room and introduce yourself."
Manta was frozen. No way was the demon in his class. Why? WHY?????, he asked the gods. Why did I have to be cursed with this life?
"My name's Asakura Yoh. I'm sixteen, and I just moved to Tokyo from Nerima. I like horror stories and soccer."
He's older than just sixteen, Anna thought. He's at least 300 if he has that kind of power.
"Well, Mister Asakura, there is an empty seat next to Miss Kyoyama." The teacher pointed to Anna. Yoh followed her point, his eyes settling on Anna. They showed no sign of recognition or emotion. He made his way to the seat next to Anna, and, flopping his books down, sat down, all without saying a word to Anna. She felt a surge of quick anger. How dare he kiss her, then not say a word to her at all!
She shook her head. She was not going to get worked up on some demon that goes around kissing random people.
"Now, on to roll."

The rest of the school day went by with hardly any other special events. Anna kept shooting Yoh glances, and whenever he caught her staring, she quickly changed the look to a glare, which he ignored.
As everyone walked outside, Anna stayed in the room. Yoh waited outside for her, but when she didn't come out, he slipped inside. She was fiddling with a bracelet. Yoh stood behind her, watching the bracelet. It had some inscriptions on it, that he recognized as words of binding. So, he thought. She's a priestess.
"What are you doing here after hours, Anna?"
Anna jumped, clutching her bracelet. She relaxed slightly when she saw who it was, but didn't release her hold on the bracelet. "Why do you want to know?"
"Because I'm curious."
"I always stay after."
"Don't your parents get worried about you?"
Silence, then, "My parent's died when I was young."
"I'm sorry." There was pure, genuine pity in his voice.
Anna glared at him. "I don't need your pity."
"Then you won't have it."
She was shocked by this answer. Was he playing games with her? He was smiling gently. Anna sighed, and turned back to the bracelet. "I first found out I was a priestess when I was ten. My parents had already died by then. There was a demon, that attacked me, and I screamed, and when I opened my eyes, he was dead. I has read about priestesses in a book, and I knew that the coming of power for on is fatal for all demons. After that, my powers just grew."
"I see. It must have been hard without your parents."
"It was." There was a comfortable silence between them, when Anna realized what she had done. She had acted familiar with a demon, not to mention revealed the prospect that she was a hunter. Well, he probably already knew, but it was never good to openly broadcast that kind of fact. "There is nothing between us, you know."
"Why not?"
"That's a stupid question. 1) I'm human, you're a demon 2) I'm a demon exterminator, you're a demon 3) I hate demons, you're a demon. Anything else?"
"Um, you're too young, I'm too old?"
Anna looked up at him. "How old are you, anyways?"
"534 this year."
"Yeah, you're way too old."
Yoh laughed. "Well, Anna, it's late. How about I treat you and Manta to dinner?" Manta jumped from his hiding place behind the door. Well, of course, Yoh was a demon. A duh he'd sense him. He scratched his head nervously. "Uh, hi Anna, uh, Yoh, um, sir."
Yoh grinned. "No sir, please."
"Uh, right."
Anna frowned. "I'm not sure I'd like to be treated to dinner by a man eating demon. Who knows what your diet consists of."
He laughed. "Trust me, my friend owns this restaurant that you'll enjoy. Trust me, you won't be disgusted. Unless, ramen isn't your favorite food." He smiled at the two innocently. "Come on, I'm sure he'll love having company!"
"Something about that doesn't sound to good," Anna muttered. Of course, Yoh heard her, being a demon and all.
$_$_$_$_$_$_$_$_$_$_$_$_$
"This is the place," Yoh said, smiling as if he'd achieved something great. Manta had the willies, and even Anna was slightly nervous. They had just gone through some of the worst parts of the city, and she had found out about some demons she didn't even know lived in Tokyo. Not to mention the shack in front of them was highly suspicious, including that broken window right there, the lack of lights from the window, that shady figure leaning against the building...
"Come on in."
Yoh steered the two humans through the restaurant. A bunch of demons looked up from their meals (you don't want to know what they were eating), confused at the sight of a considerably powerful demon bringing in live prey, but decided that he'll eat them eventually. Yoh sat the two at the counter, and leaped across. "Hey, Horo Horo!"
"What?" Came a voice. A boy, who looked slightly older than Yoh with light blue hair stepped from behind a curtain. He immediately smiled. "Yoh Asakura! What brings you to my humble restaurant?"
"Ah, just looking for something to eat. Got anything for mortal congestion?"
"Um, traditional ramen, sushi, I'm pretty sure we have some hamburger meat in the back... yep, that's eat. Sorry 'bout the selection, don't get humans much as customers."
"Um, ramen...please," Manta said nervously. He didn't like the fact that he was in a demon restaurant with demons eating god knows what around him!
"Sushi."
Manta stared wide-eyed at the girl next to him. She ordered something raw, surrounded by demons?
"One hamburger, tray of sushi. And you, Yoh?"
Both humans stared at their demon 'friend (coughenemycough)'. oh shook his head. "Naw, not hungry. I'll just take something to drink."
"Gotcha." Horo yelled something into the back, then leaned on the counter. "Well, this is a first, Asakura." He looked at Anna and Manta. "First time you've brought humans in here."
"What's wrong with that?"
"Don't get me wrong, nothing's wrong with it. It's just, unusual."
"Well, the only reason humans stopped coming was because demon exterminators became scarce." Was in just Manta, or did the room become quiet when Yoh said 'demon exterminators'? Did demons truly fear these exterminators so much that their name causes everyone to turn and look?
Anna snorted. "They aren't scarce these days. Trust me. It's probably the fact that so many unworthy demons stay in this town. Go to places like Nerima, Kyoto, or Osaka, and you'll find demons worth your time there."
"True, true, little missy," Horo said, smiling. "I guess you don't find demons like that in Tokyo. Of course, there are your random powerhouses." Right then he coughed, and Anna thought she heard a word in there, but she couldn't understand it. Yoh shot Horo a glare, though, before returning to his usual cheerful attitude.
"Food up!"
Horo Horo went back into the curtain, and came out with a tray. He had a huge smile on his face. "Here you go!"
$_$_$_$_$_$_$_$_$_$_$_$_$
I'm to tired to start an argument with Horo. Let me give you the plot though. He didn't get Yoh, and my brainwashing machine fell off of him. This was supposed to be shorter, but my internet wasn't working, so I just said, "Well, hell, I'll keep writing." That was exhausting. It took me three times it usually does to write a chapter. I wrote the first two in a span of maybe, one and a half hours? See how long this one took me? Oi, I think I'll go to sleep now........zzzzzzzz..........
