Disclaimer: I do not own Shaman King characters but I do own my own characters so please ask if you wanna use them.

I haven't seen all the episodes, actually, I've only started watching them and haven't got to the tournament yet so I'm making up a fic where Anna isn't in it, even though she and Yoh are so great together. Nor are any other characters in other episodes. So as far as I know, Yoh, Amidamaru and Manta are in it.

A Drop of Rain

Prologue: Girl with the Wolves

June 20th a bit past midnight

It was night, the crescent moon shone upon the streets of Tokyo. Nearby, on the edge of the city, a small wood stood alone. Around the wood, building trucks and construction equipment were scattered around. A big white sign showed what the wooded area would soon be : Natural Home Est. Please keep away from the woods, construction starts 21 June and your safety depends on your actions. Natural Home Est. will take no responsibility for any injuries.

In the middle of the wood, was a clearing. A large rock sat in the middle and on that rock a young girl. Her dark hair hid her face, it was a bit above waist length and slightly layered.

''Come out,'' she called, her voice soft almost like the breeze. A passer-by in the woods at this time would not even know her presence. However, little walks these woods for many animals dwell here too. Not all of them are friendly.

Soft padding feet could be heard, the slight crunching of twigs underneath one's feet. A wolf, bigger than the usual breed came out, it rested it's head on her knee. Following the first wolf came four others. They whimpered and howled. The wolves were unsettled, their home was being threatened.

''I know, don't worry, I won't let them hurt you. Come on, Ira, we've got a job to do.'' The wolf looked up and the girl followed it's gaze. The moon looked nice, the sky was as dark as the girl's eyes.

The other characters come in later ;; it's not much now but I'll try to get a chapter out a week depending on how much h/w or coursework they throw in my face.

Plz review, it's short but the next chapter will be longer… be nice and even if it's just a word, plz review…… I know you a nice person now… REVIEW!!!
