DISCLAIMER: I don't own any anime or manga involved in this fic at all. I only wished I did.

Okay, this is my chapter 2 of Anime DDR King. I'm surprised I actually got two reviews to start. I was kind of skeptical since I didn't think anyone would be like both Shaman King and DDR. It's just an opinion, though. Anyway, here's Anime DDR King! For future reference, the rest of the story will be in past tense and 3rd person.

Oh, for the unfortunate few who doesn't read the Shaman King Manga: Manta is Mortimer

It's 7:30 in the morning when Yoh and Manta walked to school together side by side. Manta, as usual, talked to Yoh about ghost stories, while Yoh wouldn't stop talking about the DDR Tournament. For some strange reason, he didn't really know why he actually likes DDR. To him, it just seemed like some new fad that just swept the nation.

"Yoh, you gotta be kidding me." Manta said to Yoh in utter disbelief. "What makes you think that there's even a chance of you winning a competition like that?" "Manta, look, this is a BIG break for me! You know that!" Yoh said excited towards Manta. "What? From Anna's constant torture?" Manta laughed.

"Ha ha! Real funny." He said sarcastically

"Anyway, don't you think it's better to learn about DDR first?"

"Hey, what's there to learn? You match your feet with the arrow patterns on the screen. It's not that difficult."

"Oh really?"

"Yep! I'll learn in no time. You'll see."

"Okay, Yoh, if you say so. Anyway, do you know who you're going to team up with for the Unison division?"

"Not yet, but I don't think it'll be hard to find someone, hopefully."

They arrived to school just as the classes started. Yoh and Manta took their seats in the front row and waited for what the teacher was going to torture them with today. The teacher arrived and stood by her desk with a calm and brisk look. Manta sat up straight in the presence of his teacher while Yoh lay back in his chair as the teacher started talking towards the class.

"Okay class, we have a new student here who has come to stay with us for the remainder of the school year. Now, you all be nice to her since she's new."

"A new girl, eh? Wouldn't matter to me who it is. All the girls here doesn't take interest with anyone anyway." Yoh thought to himself.

"Please welcome to our class, Miss Asuka Langley Sohryu! She came to Tokyo just a few days ago so, please, make her feel at home."

The boys of the class, however, thought she fit perfectly at home. She wore a sailor style dress with red shoes. She wore red lipstick that was shone so brightly in the light that it make her lips seem delicate and soft. Her hair was a light red and her eyes and soft brown. The teacher allowed her to pick her own seat. So, she looked around.

"Whoa! I've been in a room with this many dead beats since I've stayed with Rei and Shinji. Well, I better make the best of it." She thought to herself, while looking among the crowd. She then glanced at Yoh and seeing his nonchalant appearance made her wonder a bit. "Well, well, well! Isn't he cute! I wonder if he might..." "Hm...Miss Maryl." She said to her.

"Yes?" Ms. Maryl said.

"I'd like to sit here next to this boy right here." She said as she pointed to Yoh ever so innocently.

"Sure. Fine by me. How about it, Yoh?"

The class, mostly the boys, looked at Yoh and awaited his decision. Yoh looked at the eyes that were upon him and backed up. "What? I never said she couldn't sit by me! I don't care!" He said out of desperation of words. "Good. Because I'll be right here for the rest of the year." Asuka said to Yoh as she sat down. Yoh saw a slight twinkle in her eyes and right then he knew what he was in for.

"Ohhh kay. I hope that's just a look she gives just to be friendly. I'm in no condition to have a crushee right now. Anna kill me if I do!" Yoh thought to himself. Seeing that his thoughts started to cloud his judgement, he removed the thought as far as possible and tried to be courteous towards her.

"Hi, my name is Yoh. Yoh Asakura." He said timidly extending his hand towards her in a manner of a handshake.

"My name in Asuka. Asuka Langley Sohryu." She said as she shook his hand.

He felt her soft hands touch his and felt like killing himself seeing her blush and smile towards him. He pulled back his hand trying not to feel any guiltier than his conscience would let him.

"So, what brings you here to Tokyo?" Yoh asked with much concern.

"Well, honestly, I didn't actually want to come here. I was forced to because Nerima was really bugging with lots of stuff with magical springs and pandas. I just couldn't take that kind of lifestyle. It seems that life won't be too bad, though. I mean, they do have DDR here."

Yoh gasped when he heard the word DDR come from her mouth. His eyes lite up with excitement and he started to get interested.

"Oh, you play DDR?"

"Yeah, all the time. Although, I'm no more than a standard player. You see, I heard of this competition and I wanted to enter..."

"Me too!"

"Really?"

"Yeah, I've saw the commercials and now I want to enter as well!"

"You're surely don't look like the type who would."

"Well, looks can be deceiving, Asuka. Anyway, you think you could teach me?"

"Teach you how to play DDR?"

:"Exactly! Of course, if you don't want to-"

"I'll be honored, Yoh!" She said as she grabbed Yoh by the hand.
