THE UNEXPECTED TWIST

CHAPTER 2:

Secrets Revealed

Yoh slipped out extra early that day to finish his training by two o'clock That afternoon. He wanted to use the rest of the day (after training) to try And find that "blue hared stranger "he was told about by Manta.

At five thirty a.m., Yoh went running for fifty miles and finished two hours Later. At seven forty-five, he did two hundred fifty push ups, one hundred twenty five Pull-ups, and two hundred seventy two sit-ups. At ten fifty five, he trained with Amidamaru to strengthen his abilities with a sword as well as being able to unite With his spirit faster.

At two twenty one, he told Anna that he was stepping out for a while and Would be back by eight o'clock.

"What are you doing? "Yoh asked as he saw Manta reading something and Practically drooling over it. (Well.... not really drooling)

"It's.... It's...look inside of the ice cream shop! "Manta screamed pointing at the window.

Yoh looked through the window to see the blue hared boy eating ice cream at the table.

"Is that—"

"Yes! It's that blue hared guy I was telling you about! "Manta interrupted.

Yoh walked up to the door and opened it, Amidamaru followed.

"Manta, why don't you stay here. You still have things to do for Anna, remember! "

Manta nodded and slowly walked off.

Yoh sat in front of the 'blue-hared kid ' and introduced himself.

"Hi, I'm Yoh Asakura! "

"My name's Horo Horo, but please call me Trey Racer! "he replied.

"Uh, nice to meet you, Trey! "Yoh said smiling.

"I wanna thank you for sticking up for me that night! "

"It was no problem! "Amidamaru yelled appearing out of nowhere.

"Aahhhh! It's a ghost!! "

************ ************

"His name is Trey Racer! "Yoh said after Anna gave in and decided to

let him stay.

"Trey Racer? "Amidamaru repeated.

"Ha ha! That sounds more like a cartoon character! "Manta laughed.

"I agree! "Yoh said smiling.

"Meet Trey Racer...here he comes with your lunch! "Manta added laughing

harder.

[A/n: I couldn't resist!]

Trey sat down at the table feeling very annoyed.

"Yeah, yeah! Laugh all ya' want! I think it sounds better than being

called Horo Horo! "He said.

Everyone agreed with him and ate the food Manta prepared for them. (In

occasions like these, I'm glad I make extra!) Manta commented after

seeing Trey and Yoh devour just about all of the food.

"So Trey, what happened to your stuff? "Yoh asked after the food was

gone.

"I'm not sure! I was selling jewelry one day, and I had to go to the

Jon. I kind of didn't wanna leave my stuff there, but we all know when

ya' gotta go...ya' gotta go! When I came back, my belongings were

missing. "He said shortly after.

Horohoro stared out of the open window, and thought about his plans.

'I promise,' he thought to himself. 'I WILL save the Miynushins! '

"Hey Trey? "Yoh said, interrupting his thoughts.

"Uh, yeah? "

"Why are you here? Why did you come here? "

"What do you mean 'why'? "Trey asked.

"Well, "Manta said. "Judging by your outfit and snowboard, it seems

you come from the north! "

"Well, yeah! I did come from the north! Ya' see, where I come from, we

have little spirit people called Miynushins. "

"Miynushins? "Yoh asked. "Sounds like a bunch of junk to me! "

"No! I've read it in my dictionary-slash-encyclopedia. They're real! "

Manta informed.

"Yeah, they're very much real! And they're endangered! "Trey added.

"Endangered!? "Yoh and Manta said in unison.

"Yep! Miynushins live in a swampland under lily pads. Recently, the

swampland is decreasing in size. "

"Why? "Yoh asked.

"It's because of the construction of cities! Cities reduced the size

of the swampland, forcing the Miynushin families to live six to a lily

pad! And since not everyone can see them, most people aren't even

aware of their existence! "

"That's nice, but what's that little thing? "Manta asked.

"Who, Kori? Trey asked back.

"Kori? Who's Kori? "Yoh asked.

Trey picked up a small person, who was clutching a leaf, and held her

up.

"This is Kori. She's a Miynushin and one of my closest friends! "

"Aw. So cute! So how long were you able to see ghosts? "Yoh said,

petting Kori's head.

"I've always been able to see ghosts, but there's only one reason why

I'm here, "Trey said.

"Why? "Manta asked curiously.

"To save the Miynushins! Picture my plan; the entire world covered in

a swamp! "

*WOMP! *

"-.-' Uh...It's a nice plan but— "

"I don't think they're gonna cover the whole world in a swamp, just to

save Miynushins! "

"Oh yeah...We'll see! "Trey said running back into the house.

"Come on Manta. Let's get some sleep! "Yoh said.

Manta an Amidamaru followed closely behind Yoh, as a strange person

kept close watch on them.
