The Millennium Shaman

Chapter 1: Meetings

It was a very nice spring day in Tokyo, Japan. Two boys were taking a walk in the park. One was tall and thin, the other was short and thin. The tall one, Yoh Asakura, sat on the park bench while the short one, Morty, went to get ice cream at the vendor. When most people look at Yoh, all they see is a boy spacing out; they would never even guess that he was a shaman.

Yoh and Morty have been friends for so long that they were thought to be brothers. Who knew that today their lives would be changed forever.

Yoh and Morty were heading home when Yoh felt something.

"What's wrong, Yoh?" asked Morty worriedly.

Yoh stood there frozen for a moment said,

"There is another shaman nearby, a really powerful one."

No sooner did he say that, they came face to face with another young boy about Yoh's age and height. This boy had bright purple eyes and black hair rimmed with crimson red fanning out in all directions, also with golden bangs.

"Hello, my name is Yugi, what are your names?"

Yoh suddenly felt as though he could trust Yugi, so he smiled and said,

"Hi, I'm Yoh and this is Morty. Can I ask you a question?"

"Sure, ask away." said Yugi.

Yoh cleared his throat and said kinda cautiously,

"Are you a shaman?"

Yugi stood there awestruck.

"How did you know that I was a shaman?!"

Yoh put his hands on the back of his head and smiled a goofy grin,

"Well, first of all, I sensed your shamanic energies and second, I can see your guardian ghost."

Sure enough, a tall, purple armor-clad ghost appeared, along with Yoh's ghost samurai, Amidamaru. Yugi's ghost introduced himself,

"Hello, I am Mahaad, Yugi's guardian ghost, a.k.a. the Dark Magician."

Yoh, Morty, and Amidamaru bowed in respect, Yugi and Mahaad followed suit.

"Hey, don't forget about my ghost, Mosuke." said Morty.

A large ghost appeared next to Morty and said,

"I am Mosuke, master sword smith and friend to Amidamaru."

Yugi, Yoh, Morty, and their ghosts shook hands.

"Are there any other shamans living here? If there is, then Yoh and the gang will have some more people to talk to." said Morty. Yugi was overjoyed.

"Yes, of course. All my friends are shamans, even my identical twin brother is a shaman. My grandpa is part of the Shaman Council. Why don't all of us come meet here in the park at noon and do some practice."

All nodded in agreement and departed.

"Wow, more shamans to make friends with!!" cried Morty.

Yoh was even more excited than Morty, he was just tickled pink as was Amidamaru. Now there would some new competition and he was itching to see what skills Yugi had. Usually the walk home was boring and time consuming, but today they found themselves at the front door before they knew it. Through half the night, Yoh and Morty told everyone about Yugi and his ghost, Mahaad the Dark Magician. Everyone was psyched and anxiously awaiting noon of the next day.
