Disclaimer: I don't own any Shaman King characters. They are all the work
of the genius, Hiroyuki Takei. Still, as a fan girl, Manta ish mine!!! ^_^
Claimer: Well...basically any character that isn't one of the original SK characters is mine! Kays? Good! ^_~
Gia: Whoot!! I got the first chapter up! Oh, and just to warn you, I have a hard time thinking of good names, so you'll just have to find out my character's name in the next chapter! Until then, enjoy!
It was late night in Japan. The stars outside in the night sky shone brightly. It was a perfect night for stargazing. All was silent except for the sound of feet running through Funbari Hill Cemetery. Manta Oyamada, a 13 year old boy, was trying to catch a train on the way home from cram school. Once again cram school ran later than usual, and Manta was trying to get to the train station before he missed the last train. His best friend, Yoh Asakura had been ordered by his fiancée, Anna to come straight home from school today. This is why Manta didn't think that he'd see him stargazing out tonight. He only expected to see all the ghosts partying. But little did Manta know that there was someone in the cemetery tonight. But this wasn't just any ordinary person. This one person was about to make history.
Sitting on a headstone staring up at the night sky was a girl of around thirteen years of age. Her hair, –which was a shade of honey brown- was tied back into a loose ponytail, and her deep brown eyes glistened in the moonlight. She was wearing a pair of black pajama pants, a black spaghetti strap tank top, a pair of black flip flops, and had a spike bracelet around each wrist. She just sat there not making a sound.
As Manta hopped the fence to the cemetery, and started to run down the path, his eye caught the girl. He stopped a few yards away from her and stared. Not knowing who she was, or if she was a shaman or not, Manta decided not to bug her. He continued on his way, but then something else caught his eye. Floating next to the girl was the ghost of a beautiful woman. Suddenly Manta stopped right in his tracks. He instantly knew that this girl must be a shaman. As he turned to leave again, he heard a voice talking in somewhat of a low whisper.
"Don't leave. Won't you come stargaze with me? It's a lovely night. We'd like some extra company."
Manta looked over at the girl and seemed a bit puzzled. She wasn't looking at him, but at the same place in the sky that she was staring at before. He hesitated to answer, unsure if he was the one being talked to. He thought for a minute then looked down at his watch and noticed that he was running later than he was before.
"I'm sure that it's fun and all, but I really, really got to get to the train station before the last train leaves. You understand right? I'm sorry to disappoint you two, but, I got to get home."
The girl looked down from the stars, and over at Manta. She just smiled. She didn't seem disappointed in the least bit. She nodded slowly then looked across at the town.
"No, don't worry. I understand perfectly. I'll see you again tomorrow. You go to Shinra Private Academy, right?"
Manta nodded slowly, and looked over at the girl. He was a bit unsure of how she knew where he went to school, but for now that didn't really matter much to him.
"Yes, I do go there. Hey, who knows? Maybe we'll end up in the same homeroom. That'd be cool."
She nodded slowly and looked at Manta. The smile on her face broadened as her eyes glistened more.
"Indeed it would. Well, I don't want to keep you from catching your train, so I'll let you go. I'm not going to introduce myself just yet. Wait until tomorrow. Then you'll learn my name."
Manta smiled and waved slightly at the girl before heading to the train station. All along the way, he kept thinking about the girl, and how cool it's going to be to get to know her more. That night he slept well, even though he was extremely anxious for the next day to come.
