Note from Yoh: Hey again. This chapter introduces a new feature: Music
Cues!. Now, whenever I see fit, I will write the name of a band or
composer and the song that fits the scene. Example: [play Green Day:
Longview.]. Band name first, then song. When I think the song should cut
out, I will write [stop Longview]. To fully enjoy this fic, please listen
to the songs mentioned in the music cues when they tell you to. Clear
enough? Good. Now here's the chapter.
Disclaimer I do not own: shaman king, Rurouni Kenshin(you'll find out), Green Day, Linkin Park, System of a Down, Static-X, or much else mentioned in this fic.
I DO own CD's of Linkin Park, Static-X, and System of a Down, but not the bands themselves.
Chapter 5: Yoh vs. Ren
[play Linkin Park: Faint]
"HYAAAHHH!!!" both shamans yelled. They met in midair. The pole in Yoh's right hand met with Ren's kwon dao. Ren swung and missed. Yoh kicked. His foot met with the side of Ren's head. Ren was thrown to the ground. "man..." said Tai. Manta just stared. It had only been a minute and this was already more intense than their last fight. Ren wasn't beaten yet. He swung his kwon dao at Yoh. The blade missed, but the wooden shaft hit him upside the head. Yoh was sent to the ground, his left sandal flew off somewhere. Remembering he was wearing wooden sandals, Yoh got up and swung at Ren with the two poles. Ren jumped parried. Just the signal Yoh needed. He kicked the sandal at Ren, hitting him squarely between the eyes. Ren once again forced the kwon dao at Yoh, only to be blocked by the pole in Yoh's left hand. The free pole Yoh held flew at Ren's torso but Ren leapt out of the way.
Hao was getting fed up. "I think I'll push Ren to his limits of performance" Ren dodged yet another pole swipe from Yoh. "You have been an excellent adversary, but now, Yoh, it is time to die. 100% INTEGRATION" "Oh shit!!" yelled Anna. "VORPAL DANCE!!" This time, Yoh couldn't fully dodge. The attack met with his left shoulder, sending a crimson spray into the air. [stop Faint] The ground turned red around where Yoh lay. Anna and Manta were in shock. All Yoh could manage was a groan. Ren was moving in for the kill when Tai yelled out "That's enough." Ren froze and watched as Tai pulled out a memorial tablet. "I SUMMON YOU KENSHIN HIMURA!!!" [play Static-X: This is not] Tai picked up one of the poles Yoh used. "INTEGRATE! KENSHIN!!" Tai charged at Ren and swung the pole with blinding speed. Ren barely ducked in time. The pole came streaking above his head. Ren attacked thinking Tai had left himself open to attack. Tai moved the pole at blinding speed to parry the attack. Tai blocked the kwon dao so hard, Ren lost it and the weapon flew off and lodged itself in a nearby cliff. Tai had Ren cornered. [stop This is Not] Hao, who was controlling Ren was getting pissed. Yoh sat up and said "unhhh. All that training and you still only hit my shoulder. Damn, same one as last time too." Yoh was in the progress of tying his shirt around his shoulder and torso. Ren kicked Tai out of the way and grabbed his kwon dao. Yoh picked up his pole and motioned to Tai to get behind Ren while Yoh attacked from the front. Ren sensed this and jumped out of the way leaving Yoh and Tai to collide. Ren landed and withdrew his attacking pose. [play System of a Down: Suite Pee] "Two on two isn't quite fair. Therefore, DOPPLEGANGER SPLIT!!!" Another Ren appeared beside the real one. "I don't fucking believe it. This skill is beyond Ren's level. Ren is definitely possessed. Both Rens ran at Yoh and Tai. "I'll take the one on the left." said Tai. Yoh nodded. The real Ren swung the kwon dao at Yoh. Yoh hit him in the head with a pole while jumping over the kwon dao. Ren was out cold. "Too easy" said Yoh as he picked up the kwon dao. "Tai" called Yoh and tossed the shaman the weapon. Tai parried an attack from the fake Ren and returned it with ease. The blade cut through the copy. The false Ren disappeared in a flash of light. [stop Suite Pee when tempo changes right after "die her philosophy, die"] "We gotta get rid of this thing!" said Tai, referring to the kwon dao in his hands. Yoh picked up Ren, just as Horo Horo woke up. "What the fuck just happened?" asked Horo Horo. "Ren went crazy" answered Yoh. "Let's get him to the cabin"
In Yoh's campsite, Ren woke up in the bottom bunk. "Hey, baka, where am I?" "You are in my cabin." said Yoh. "I'm going back to campsite #33. Come on Horo Horo." Ren left the campsite. "Hey, Tai, do you have any bandages?" "Sure do. I'll get them" Yoh took the shirt off his shoulder. It had been used as a bandage stand-in. The shoulder was ripped and the shirt had fresh bloodstains covering it. "Yuck! I may as well throw this thing away! I have 10 more of this shirt anyway." "Here." said Tai. As he was dressing his wound, Yoh asked "Hey Tai, your main spirit is the legendary battosai?" "Yep." "I am no longer the battosai" said Kenshin. Kenshin and Amidamaru were getting to know each other better. "This was your first real shaman fight? You're good!" "I train often." The bandages were put on just a few seconds earlier, but traces of red were already bleeding through. "Well, I'm tired, how about you Anna?" "Very." "OK, lets sleep." Yoh and Anna got in the top bunk. "g'night Tai" "See you in the morning Yoh." "g'night Manta"
"Even with those bloodstained bandages, he still looks cute while he's asleep." thought Anna. Anna had no trouble falling asleep next to Yoh, even though he had bloody bandages covering his shoulder and chest. Tai fell asleep instantly. His first shaman fight wore him down. Kenshin and Amidamaru discussed how Japan changed between their time periods.
So, how are the battles? too descriptive? Note from Yoh: This Kenshin is, in fact, the same Kenshin as in Rurouni Kenshin. He is dead, so he is Tai's main spirit. Got a problem with that? Oh, yeah. Sorry if Anna's a little OOC in the last paragraph. R&R.
