Eeeeee I loveses all my reviewers! I loveses them gooood!

Thanks once again for your kindness. ::gives reviewers Christmas/Hanukkah/whatever gifts:: ^_____^ I hope you all enjoy the next chapter, its got hitchhiking and hippies! And Yoh may possibly suffer from amnesia in the future chapters….But that will be for the readers to decide!

So, with little to no difficulty (there was a brief issue in which Ren tried to kill Yoh with a plastic spoon/fork but that was quickly resolved) the plane trip ended and they were off the plane. Now for the real trouble to start.

"YOU BOUGHT THE WRONG TICKETS?!?" Anna rages. Yes, she and Horo Horo were let out of their carriers.

Yoh backs up hastily, sweatdropping and almost tripping over a homeless person. "All I was paying attention to when I bought the tickets is that they were headed to the U.S…..I didn't know it was so big!"

"You baka…" she fumes.

Ren snarls, "Well NOW what, Leaf?!"

"I told you not to call me that!" (For those of you who don't know, Yoh's name translates into "leaf") "And I really don't know….4Kids studio is all the way across the country…." (I have no idea where it is, really. But now its in Idaho! No offense to anyone who lives there.)

Quite suddenly, a Volkswagon bus ('cos the country is just full of them ::sarcasm:: )

came to a halt in the airport parking lot, a few feet away. A man with scraggly red hair, a goatee, green tinted glasses and a large peace medal around his neck sticks his head out. "Hey, you little freedom fighters need a lift?"

Yoh grins and starts to head over to the van, but Amidamaru stops him.

"Are you sure this is such a good idea, Lord Yoh? This man is a complete stranger."

"Aww come on, what could possibly go wrong?"

"Famous last words?" Manta quipped.

In a matter of minutes, they were all crowded into the musty-yet-hip bus, seated on orange pouf chairs behind one of those sweet beaded curtains. The hippie turned to greet them.

"Yo, my children. They call me Rainbow Trout. So, what brings you little foreign dudes over to this side of the world? And in my van?"

Yoh leans forward and explains their story."

RT gasps, very much taken aback by their tale. "Ohhhh man….I've heard of these corporate companies….They lead you in with promises of a newer, better world….then they steal your soul! Nothing is sacred from these fiends! They take everything and anything and make it their own. You were right to come to me for help, little men."

"A-HEM?!" Anna.

"—and woman." ^_^;

Yoh and the gang exchange questioning glances, "Are you sure we're talking about the same thing, uh…..Rainbow Trout?"

RT just nods solemnly. Then, his face brightens and he exclaims eagerly, "Well, come on, dudes! Its to Idaho we go!" (Corny, yes, but don't blame him. He's a hippie.)

And so the van peels out of the lot and starts cruisin' like an Indy 500 racer. Well, maybe not that fast. But still pretty damn fast! Towns and countryside starts to flash by the window. They are on the move.

15 days later…..

Still on the move.

"I'm hungry." Horo Horo.

"I'm thirsty." Yoh.

"I'm bored." Ren.

"I'm—" Manta begins.

But Anna quickly cuts him off, "SHUT UP, ALL OF YOU! Its bad enough I'm trapped in this busload of reeking, starving, ANNOYING, incompetent slobs, but must I be reminded constantly of how reeking and starving you are?!" O_ _O

"But I'm bored!" Ren whines again.

"Then look out a window, read a magazine, do SOMETHING other than make me want to kill you even more!"

"That's gonna be hard to—"

"NOW!!!"

Ren grumbles and stares out the closest window. They are now passing through a seemingly-endless countryside. "Cow….cow…..horse…..potato plantation……cow……HQ for the new world order of livestock……..cow….."

Anna twitches, "Do you MIND??"

Ren glares at her, "Whaat? You told me to keep myself occupied…."

"QUIETLY!!!"

He grumbles, "Madam fortress mommy…." .

"WHAT was that??"

"Nothing. You're imagining things." u_u

Just then, Ryo (I forget whether its Ryu or Ryo….aggh…too lazy to check reviews for spelling.) whines, "YOHHH! Amidamaru chopped off my forelock AGAIN!" ToT

Amidamaru splutters, flustered, "It was an accident! This van is too small! My sword is too sharp! He made me do it! It was my evil twin! I didn't do it! Sorry!"

O_o…… "Amidamaru, you aren't making any sense. Now stop and take some deep, calming breaths."

"But I—"

"Shhh….Now, repeat after me: 'Goooosfrara……'" ("Anger Management, anyone?")

"Goose-what?"

" 'Gooooosfrara…..'"

"Goooosfrara….?"

"Very good. Now, don't you feel any better?"

"No."

"Sigh."

That night…..

"There are snakes in my sleeping bag! THERE ARE SNAKES IN MY SLEEPING BAG!!" Horo Horo was in a literal screaming frenzy over…well….snakes in his sleeping bag.

RT just grins, "Don't worry, Stardust and LoveSoldier are lovers—not fighters."

Horo Horo stops momentarily, "Do you know how many readers will misinterpret that?"

"Huh?"

"THERE ARE SNAKES IN MY SLEEPING BAG!!" o

"Go to SLEEP, Horo Horo!!" Anna snarls.

"But there are—"

"SLEEP!"

"Yes ma'am."

RT is not too far away, smoking a "love pipe" with Ryo. After about an hour of ingesting the "love fumes", Ryo staggers over to Manta, grinning ludicrously.

"Heeeeeey…….pre-tay lay-day……"

Manta slowly turns and stares at him, "R….Ryo?"

"Youse wanna be my ho, girlie??"

"YOHHHH SAVE MEEEEE!!"

From the van, Yoh grumbles, " 'Yoh, do this, Yoh do that, Yoh, save me from a crack-whore…'"

"YOH, SAVE ME FROM THIS CRACK-WHORE!!"

"Sigh….Coming, Manta…."

The next morning, they are on the road again, and tempers are starting to wear even thinner.

"Are we there yet?" The SK cast chants.

"No." RT responds.

"Are we there yet?"

"No."

"Are we there yet?"

"No."

"Are we there yet?"

"No."

"Are we there yet?"

"No."

"Are we there yet?"

"No."

"Are we there yet?"

"No."

"Are we—"

"LISTEN. DUDES. CHILL." O_ _O

"Looks like someone missed their morning crack pipe…" Manta mutters.

"I know! Its been awful!" Ryo sobs.

O_O;

"Are we there yet?"

"NO."

"How about now?"

"NO."

"Now?"

"NO."

"What about now?"

"ARRRRGHH!!!" o

o_o;;;; "He mad."

TUNE IN NEXT TIME, WHEN THEY'RE ACTUALLY THERE!! I hope you've enjoyed yet another chapter of this fic as much as I've enjoyed writing it! If it sucks, I blame my tiredness. Don't forget to Read and Review! Flames will be used as ammo for the flamethrowers that will serve as standard weaponry for Lord of Flames88's chicken army, guaranteed to bring about the new world order. Speaking of him, if he doesn't write "CareBears meet Inuyasha" soon, I will dress him as Yoh and set rabid fangirls on him!! _O O_

Oh yeah, and I forgot to do the disclaimer at the beginning of the chappie, so here it is:

I do not own Shaman King, 4Kids, "Anger Management", hippies, livestock or anything else I may have mentioned that I don't own. And if any hippies are reading this, I'm really not trying to offend them and I'm sorry if you find anything offensive. There ya go.

Byeses for now!! ^____^
