Anyone could tell Akemi and her guardian had a rather different relationship than the other Shamans with their guardians. Just like Amidamaru treated Yoh like a friend, Bason treated Ren like a master, Kororo treated Horo horo like a younger brother in need of care and Tokageru treated Ryu like a fellow gang member, Bartholomew treated Akemi like an annoying little sister who seriously needed a wake up call. And even thought her shoulder long hair was almost the exact shade of brown as his waist long hair, that was the only "brotherly" resemblance between them.

Akemi stood there with her mouth slightly open, staring at the angel like man who had landed next to Sakura. All the other Shamans looked at him enchanted.

"Hmpf. Hello Yue" Kero looked disgusted, mad, hurt and offended at the same time.

"H-hi" stutterd Sakura, looking apprehensive.

The Shamans shook themselves awake and introduced themselves. Yue looked at them with something that resembled one of Ren's looks and answered dryly:

"My name is Yue."

Horohoro, realizing Akemi was still staring the Hell out of Yue, rushed over to her and snapped his fingers before her eyes.

There was no reaction.

He started poking her and chanting "Akemi, Akemi, Akemi!".

Yoh sight and pulled Horohoro by his shirt collar.

Yue looked at Sakura. "I know you wish he were here."he said in a dead tone. Then he closed his eyes.

Kero, seeing what he was doing, followed Yue's lead and closed his eyes too.

Both beings rose a few inches from the ground. They wrapped their wings around themselves, whistle an odd light shone from their bodies. Everyone but Sakura stared in shock at the scene playing before them. Suddenly the light extinguished itself, and a little plush lion appeared just as a grey-haired boy fell to the ground.

"Yukito!" Sakura knelt down next to the boy.

He sat up and smiled at her.

"Good day Sakura!"

Sakura smiled widely, a light shining in her eyes.

Akemi looked around, then eyed the boy named Yukito suspiciously. She walked over to him and pointed accusingly.

"Where's Yue?"

The boy looked at her and smiled, opening his mouth to talk. But Akemi just rambled on.

"What just happened? Who are you? And were did that hot guy go who was standing right there a few seconds ago??"

Ryu looked at her increadously. "Watch your manners" he whispered.

"Uh, sorry, I mean, it's not that your not, uhm, pretty or anything, but"

"What she means is, hi!" Yoh quickly cut off Akemi's pathetic attempt to fix what she had said. "I'm Yoh, these are Ren, Horohoro, Ryu and Akemi"

Ryu grabbed the little flying plush. "Ohhhh how cute!!!!"

"Mff…let me go!!!" The little lion struggled free from Ryu's hug and flew to Sakura. "It's me, Kero!"

Ren glanced at Akemi who looked slightly disappointed.

Akemi glared at Ren expectantly. Confused, Ren cough at turned to Yoh. Akemi sight and continued looking hopefully at Yukito.

"Argh!!! Can anyone tell me what's going on????!!!!!!!!!" Horohoro yelled and started banging his fist against a nearby tree.

"Well-" Sakura started to explain, just when she was interrupted.

"Sakura!!!!"

"Sakura, are you ok??"

"Syaoran is mine!!! You'll never have him Sakura!!!!!"

Tree kids about the same age as Sakura ran out of the woods. One of them was holding a camera, while the other two were wearing the oddest cloth you had ever seen.

They reached Sakura out of breath and stopped a bit to breath. The boy, who was wearing a green outfit and holding a sword, quickly looked Sakura up and down while asking "Are you ok? Did you get the card?"

Before Sakura could answer, a black haired girl wearing a rather peculiar dress snapped at her "We are gonna get all the cards, you know? Syaoran should have got that one!"

The girl we the camera gave a huge smile and said, "I've got it all on tape! Another one of your adventures, wearing one of my beautiful outfits!"

Sakura smiled happily and assured every one that she was fine.

Before Ren could give another one of his suggestive coughs, Yoh smiled and asked, "Why don't we all go inside so you could explain what's going on?"

"Yeah!" Horohoro punched the air, glad someone was finally giving him attention.

"Great, let's eat!" Kero made a mid air whoop.

"Yeah, let's eat!!!!" Horo jumped up in delight.

-------------

Inside the house, they all sat around the table, while Manta poured in Tea for every one.

Sakura had offered to cook something, but Yoh delicately refused. They had a lot of talking to do.

Sakura explained to them all about the Clow Cards, who Syaoran and Mei Ling were, the powers Kero and Yue had and all about her mission as the Card Captor.

Yoh explained to her what a Shaman was and how the Shaman fight worked, and also of their dreams of becoming Shaman King.

"So you all want to be Shaman King?" Sakura asked. "Doesn't that mean you'll have to compete against each other?"

"Yeah, but we don't mind!" Yoh grinned.

Sakura was helping Manta with the tea. She poured some into Syaoran's cup. The boy, as every one quickly noticed, turned bright red as he stuttered a quiet "thank you". Sakura moved on with out noticing, but Mei Ling glared at her and grabbed Lee's arm, while Tomoyo let out a low giggle.

Kero (almost swimming in his tea cup) cleared his throat and started speaking.

"As you're all obviously very strong, I'd like to ask you all for your help. What you witnessed today was the attack of the earth card, and you could see what damage a single card can do. We suspect the next card is hiding around here, and we don't know much about this area. Could you assist us catching the next card?"

A long silence greeted these words. The Shamans seemed to be thinking of what to do next.

---------------------Every one's thought's (at that moment)-----------------

Horohoro: I thought we were gonna eat something! What is up with this tea?!

-

Ren: Hmpf. We might as well help them. I don't really care, all I want is to be Shaman King. I'll just go along with what ever Yoh has to say. He is our leader after all.

Wait! Maybe, while chasing after this card thing, I can get a chance to battle him again!! And then….MWAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-

Ryu: Awww…These girls are so cute! With their giggles and smiles, and laughs and moves, and…

-

Akemi: I bet Ryu's checking out those girls. He's such a pervert, he should get arrested or something.

….

What's up with Ren?

-

Yoh: ….

----------------------End thoughts-------------------

(A/N:I didn't include Yoh's thoughts cause he the one who decides )

Yoh, looking uncharacteristically serious looked around at his friends.

Ren looked at him and voiced, "Since you're our leader, you should decide".

The other ones nodded along.

Yoh seemed to reflect a bit, and the opened his mouth to speak.
