Chapter 5: Journey to the tournament
Amidamaru floated through the front door, just as Yoh was about to walk through it. Yoh, surprised, stumbled back and fell over.
"Yoh-sama!!! Gomen nasai!!!!" Amidamaru apologized profusely to his master.
Yoh slowly struggled to his feet, wincing. "S'okay. Where have you been? I was about to leave for the match without you."
"I needed some time to think. Now I'm ready to figh—"Amidamaru broke off as Yoh collapsed on the floor. "YOH-SAMA!!!!!"
Anna gasped and rushed over to her fallen fiancée. Shrieking, Tamao ran to Yoh also. Manta screamed like a pansy and Ren gasped.
"Yoh-kun! Yoh!!! Are you okay?" Anna called, clutching Yoh's head to her breast. Pent-up tears began to flow from Anna's eyes, landing on Yoh's face. Opening his eyes, Yoh regained conciousness.
"Anna...." Yoh realized his present possession. "AAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!" Yoh sat up fast, swearing. "Gomen!!!"
"Yoh-kun...you look awful," Tamao said worryingly. She reached her hand to touch his forehead, but Yoh caught her hand in mid-motion.
"I'm fine. Trust me," Yoh managed a smile. He pushed himself to his feet. Anna looked up at him. He seemed so strong, the light reflecting off his muscles. Yet, he was so weak. Pale and shaking, Yoh started to the door. "What's the matter with everyone?" Yoh asked, "Let's go!" Tamao, Anna, and Manta got up without question. Each one, especially Anna, secretly worried over Yoh's safety and health. Ren worried too, but he stayed put.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~(Everyone is walking to the shaman fight now)~*~*~*~
So high. The hill seemed to go on forever. Bringing his hand to his face, Yoh wiped the sweat off his burning forehead. Everything became fuzzy and his throat seared with held-back coughs. His feet tripped, but he caught himself. Determined to stay strong, Yoh walked faster up the hill. The sidewalk finally leveled out, creating a straight path of stores, empty lots, and alleyways. Yoh didn't even stop to rest. Anna would be worried. She had cried over him that morning. He had failed her, again. He had not even been strong enough to stand up without passing out. No way. He wouldn't let that happen again.
"Yoh-sama. I'm very worried. You've looked bad since yesterday," Amidamaru floated next to Yoh.
"I'm fi-"Yoh started, but Amidamaru interrupted him.
"But your not fine! This is all Anna's fault! She did this to you through pressure," Amidamaru said harshly. Yoh pivoted his feet to face Amidamaru.
"I love Anna. You know that. She was just acting out of frustration when she hit me. She only wants me to do well in the tournament," Yoh reassured Amidamaru.
Anna quickened her steps to reach Yoh and Amidamaru.
"Yoh-kun!" Anna called, "I need to talk to-EEEEEEEKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!" Anna fell to the ground as two cats leaped on her. Not normal cats. These were a misty black with blue fire licking their tails and ears. Claws jutted from their huge paws. Yoh rushed to Anna's side.
"ANNA-CHAN!!!!!!!!" Yoh yelled, then looked at the cats, "Who...?"
The cats grinned, showing black mouths and jagged teeth. The padded backwards into the shadows. Their flames combined and merged. Ooshing together like tar, the cats became one cat, huge and menacing. Yoh watched in horror as he held Anna close to his chest.
"Who are you?" Yoh yelled in anger. He struggled to not cough as he raised his voice.
"NamuNami. Your opponent's sister. I have duties to kill you before your match." A milky voice called from the background. A little girl emerged from the shadows. Her pink dress rippled in the wind and her eyes seemed moist from crying. Yet, through the tears, her eyes shone black, like utter nothingness.
"FIGHT ME!!!!" The girl screamed. Her mouth opened wide, showing teeth as jagged as the cat's. Shaping her tiny hand into a fist and extending her index finger, NamuNami pointed at Yoh and screamed even louder.
Taking one finger, Yoh turned Anna's head to face him. Anna stared at her fiancée, his mouth open in the effort to keep breathing and his cheeks pale.
"I love you, Anna-chan," Yoh murmured. Then he stood up and lowered Anna onto the sidewalk.
"No one hurts my Anna," Yoh threatened, facing the cat. It hissed at him and blue lava dripped from its mouth, melting the sidewalk. It reared and charged at Yoh. Quickly, Yoh forced a shocked Amidamaru into Harusame. Immediately, Yoh staggered. The raw effort of using mana exhausted him ten times more than he was running yesterday. Forcing himself to stay strong, Yoh raised Harusame to make the first strike against the cat. The sword slid right through the cat, without making a mark. Like the force of a tsunami on a tiny sakura blossom, the cat leaped on Yoh, knocking him down easily. Yoh slid across the pavement as the cat hit him. Trails of blood followed him. The cat sank it's claws into Yoh's unprotected back, caught hold, and tore. Yoh moaned as multiple layers of flesh was scraped from his body. Blood poured in waterfalls from his wounds. The cat retreated back to the girl. Leaning to the side, Yoh vomited blood onto the pavement. Flecks of red danced before his eyes. Through the pain, Yoh noticed Anna. She sat against the wall, in utter shock. Tamao's screaming echoed in Yoh's ears along with Manta's girlish sobs. Amidamaru's panicked voice sounded from Harusame.
"YOH-SAMA!!!!"
Yoh finished coughing up blood and turned his blood stained face towards NamuNami. "What is............that thing....?" Yoh managed to say.
A smile appeared on NamuNami's face. "You can't hit him," she said, "He's the raw form of my mana. He cannot lose."
Sorry for the insanely bloody chapter. I'll update soon I hope! Oh...and I had a shaman king dream last night. IT WAS SO COOL!! DREAMS ROCK!!! Off topic...gomen. Please review but no flames. Ja ne!!!!
