Well, I like to say thanks for all the people that reviewed my first chapter . So now...here's...

Chapter 2

Macchi gasped for air as she got out the plane and hugged the ground. "Land! Ah thank God! I never want to be in a plane that long again!" Macchi said in rejoice.

"That's too bad, cause the way back is longer." Lyserg commented. He barely got out of the plane still dizzy from Macchi's sleep dart. He was out for a good eighteen hours and was still feeling the side effects of the poison. Faust got off last and took breath of air.

"Good old European air. Nothing else like it." Faust said. The zombie saluted Faust and went to park the jet into a near by hanger and to unload the luggage. "So how does it feel to be back in England, Lyserg?" Faust asked.

"The same. Still damp and memories that should be forgotten. There are a...few things different though." Lyserg said. He then stared at Macchi. 'Matilda...'. Faust got the queue to step back again.

"So do you two have your spirits ready?" Faust asked. Lyserg nodded, but Macchi gasped.

"Oh shot! I need thread, or some fabric material to fix Jack!" Macchi gasped. She pulled out Jack from her backpack, the poor thing was still broken and the stuffing was still leaking out. She gave her doll a fast hug and put back inside her backpack.

"Hey, its ok. I know this great place where they have all the fabric in the world." Lyserg said. Macchi just looked at him disgusted.

"How do you know where a good fabric shop is?" Macchi asked. Lyserg rubbed the back of his in shame.

"Well I got my reasons..." He answered. Then Morphine popped out of Lyserg pocket giggling.

"Come on, why don't you tell her." She giggled. Lyserg tried to grab her, but being a fairy, she easily dodged his attempts. "It's not a bad thing to play dres-"Lyserg then sealed Morphine mouth and put her back in his pocket.

"So you use to play dress up? I used play that too, you know. So what did Morphine wear, a blue blouse?" Macchi intimated Lyserg.

"Please, it was a phase! My parents were gone, I needed guidance and-"

"Yeah, I did have a blue blouse, and one day Lyserg made this really cute shirt and had my name in red, and then-." Morphine was sealed up again back into Lyserg's pocket.

"Oh so you to make little clothes... 'Man, this guy is freaking!'...so that's why you know about the store." Macchi said. Lyserg looked down in despair.

"Please let's just go get this over with." Lyserg sighed.

The group was walking back from their battle with the Bloody Hook. Beaten and worn, Faust searched for a hotel of some kind while leaving Lyserg and Macchi with a cell phone. "That Hook guy was obsessive! He was still around because he didn't kill his hundredth person. God, I'm so glad he's gone." Macchi complained. Lyserg blushed red and nodded. Macchi saw his red cheeks. "Hey you ok, you're...blushing...at me?'" Macchi said. Lyserg quickly put on a straight face with his rosy feeling bleeding through. Macchi stopped right in front of a bookstore and stared at the window. Lyserg noticed Macchi had stopped and looked at the book.

101 Ways to Win A Guy's Heart from another Girl!

By: J.K. Jokin

Price: £ 50

"Dude...what's the freaky f?" Macchi asked. Lyserg examined the ad.

"Oh, that's the symbol for the pound. So the book is fifty pounds" Lyserg said.

"Fifty pounds! Is that in meat or something?" Macchi screamed. Lyserg looked at Macchi and sighed.

"A pound is the English currency." Lyserg explained, but Macchi had already ran into the store and had bought the book.

"I hope you don't mind if I put it on your credit card." Macchi said. She held the book in her hands and stared at the book grinning. 'My salvation! My sweet salvation!'.

'This isn't my credit card...it looks like...Tamao's.' Lyserg was thinking as he examined the card. How could Macchi have Tamao's card? Surely there was must be some mistake in his examination. Before he could finish, Lyserg was grabbed into a dark alley and pulled inside. Macchi turned around to find him missing. She was then abducted as well. The hooded man blindfolded and threw her into a car. "Macchi are you ok?!" Lyserg's voice said.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine." Macchi said. Lyserg moved around with his hands tied and his legs buckled together. He finally found Macchi on accident.

"Macchi these could be our last moments..." Lyserg said. "Could I have a...kiss." His voice said weaker than before. Macchi shoved the mass of weight off of her.

"No! I don't believe in that last love crap." Macchi screamed at Lyserg. Lyserg began to cry to himself, fearing of what could happen. Macchi pulled her hands under her legs and removed her blindfold. "Now time to catch up on my reading." Macchi said. Macchi slowly opened the book. 'Way #1: Calling the man of your dreams is always a good idea, even when he's with the opponent (his girlfriend). Calling him will have him notice you more as a person. Be very casual and every once in a while being a bit sexy. Main objective to get him to notice you!'. "Hey that sound easy!" Macchi said. She tried to reach for the cell phone in her pocket by her other hand got in the way. "Lyserg!" Macchi said as she ripped his blindfold off. "Get the cell phone out of my pocket!" Macchi then commanded him. Lyserg looked at her pocket. His hands slowly moved to her pocket. Suddenly the car hit a bump. Macchi's face became bright red. "YOU SICK PREVERT!!!" Macchi screamed at Lyserg. She threw her arms around and knocked him to the other side of the car. "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU TO TOUCH MY...MY...MY BUTT! YOU ARE SO SICK!" Macchi continued to scream at Lyserg. She then found the cell phone right next to her. "Oh, thanks for getting the cell." Macchi said. Lyserg face was swollen and he just nodded.

'Oh my...it was so...soft...' Lyserg thought. Macchi dialed a number. She held the phone to her ear.

"Hey Faust it's me, Macchi." Macchi said. A slight pause. "Yeah, we're ok, we just got abducted by some wacko." Another pause. "Oh ok, so these are the Bloody Forsaken? Ok, well you know where to find us, bye." Macchi hung up the phone. Macchi then dialed the second number.

Hao was watching the sea collide into the rocks. Tamao walked over to him and sat right next to him. It was about eleven in the morning. Tamao leaned on Hao as usual and looked up at him. "Hao, do want to...do something tonight." Tamao asked. Hao looked down and rubbed her hair.

"Sure what did you have in mind." Hao asked her. Tamao blushed slightly.

"I don't know...maybe like...dinner or go walk in the moonlight." Tamao proposed. Hao smiled and Tamao replied back with one. "Hao, you are so...kind and...sweet...I really think...you know...I think we're ready..." Tamao barely got out. Hao looked into Tamao's eyes.

"You think we are?" Hao asked. Tamao nodded. Hao put his arm around Tamao and brought her closer to him. "Ok...I'll think about it and start planning-." The cell phone then rang. "Wonder who that could be." Hao said. He pressed the on button and held the phone to his ear. "Hello?" Hao said into the phone.

"Hey Hao, how's it going?" The voice said.

"Macchi?!" Hao answered back.

"Yep...sooooooo you doing anything?"

"If you wanted to go out on a date, we can't cause your in England."

"Oh no! I'm just calling...you know...you do like green eye shadow or purple?"

"Listen Macchi, I really don't have time for this."

"Should I cut my hair...I don't know, short hair is kind of sexy."

"Macchi! I'm busy! Call me later, ok."

"Oh ok, I've been abducted anyway, bye!"

Hao turned the blasted phone off.

"That was Macchi, wasn't it?" Tamao said. Hao nodded. "So what did she call for?" Tamao asked.

"I don't know, she was acting weird again, like the night I revived her..." Hao explained.

"Hao...did you ever...liked her before?" Tamao asked. Hao remained silent for a few seconds.

"Yes...I did. I remember how...we...I recruited her because I knew one day I would need a wife. She seemed so innocence and lost, perfect for being brainwashed. When she died I lost a bit of hope in my plans, and I meet you." Hao said. Tamao nodded.

"I'm not jealous of you Hao. I use to love Yoh for the longest time, but I...never had a good reason why I did. It was that magical feeling, the one I have for you and I understand it." Tamao replied back. Hao smiled.

"Thanks..."

Macchi threw the phone to Lyserg.

"If you want to make any calls I make them now." Macchi told Lyserg. Lyserg picked up the phone and dropped into his pocket.

"So you do...'like' anyone?" Lyserg asked. Macchi looked at him dumbfounded. "You know...someone you consider...special." Lyserg continued on.

"If I tell you, you have to tell me..." Macchi proposed. Lyserg gulped.

"Ok...I'll play this game." Lyserg said. Macchi thought for a moment.

"Ok...I really like Hao. He's always been like a father to me, guiding me, helping me. I don't what I do without him." Macchi said. Lyserg looked down. "Ok, now you have to tell who you like!" Macchi said. Lyserg blushed a bright scarlet red. "Come on, I told you so you have to tell me."

"There's two..." Lyserg said. Macchi quieted down to hear Lyserg. "You and...and..." Lyserg whispered the final name.

"So why do you like me? You better not tell it's because of my body!" Macchi said.

"Oh no...it's just...you and I are alike...both orphans...and I thought...you know...you may like me..." Lyserg slowly said.

'In truth I don't. You're pretty annoying and too girly for me.' Macchi thought.

"And the other...she...she's so beautiful and perfect. So sweet...and kind...I really wish I could at least talk to her..." Lyserg continued on.

"Is it some movie star? Cause I can understand that." Macchi said. Lyserg shook his head.

"No...it's....Ta-ta...Tam-tam...Tamao..." Lyserg muttered. Macchi gasped. "No matter how I try...I freeze right in front of her...If I spoke...even once...I think we be...together." Lyserg said. Macchi lightly clapped her hands.

"That is so...deep." Macchi said. 'Well...not really. He's just obsessive and can't get the words out.' Macchi thought. "Hey! We could work together! I want Hao and you want Tamao, so if I get Hao, then you get your Tamao!" Macchi said.

"That sounds so easy...but you don't know how bad I get in front of her." Lyserg said meekly.

"That's ok...I'll teach you...kind of, you know, practice your lines and stuff." Macchi said. Lyserg smiled and a faint tear ran down his face.

"Thank you..." Lyserg whispered. The car came to a shrieking halt. Both Macchi and Lyserg were slammed into the back by the halt. The doors opened and the hooded man grabbed the two and brought them inside a deserted temple. They were pushed into the main altar; there stood a cloaked figure. Macchi was thrown to her knees while Lyserg was held in place. The cloaked figure turned around, his face was hidden behind a steel mask with a long grim scar that ran across the right eye. He looked at both of them and he bent down to Macchi's level. His leather glove moved down her face. He stood back up and looked back at Lyserg.

"You are here on behave of Yoh, correct?" The voice said. Lyserg nodded. The figure looked around the two. Macchi and Lyserg watched as the figure encircled them. He stopped in front of Macchi. "I refuse to join his factor. His ambitions are unworthy of the Bloody Forsaken." The figure spoke.

"What the hell is the Bloody Forsaken?!" Macchi screamed at the figure. The guard slapped Macchi right across the face.

"Don't speak unless you are spoken to!" The guard commanded her. He readied his hand for another strike when the figure garbed his arm.

"That's enough!" The figure yelled back. He threw the guard across the room. "I believe it's right to explain ourselves. We are the new generation of shaman. We want the whole world to succumb to the will of the Great Spirit and we don't believe in any 'Shaman King'." The figure explained. He continued to encircle the two. "All that fight was for was to kill off the old to bring in the new. We are that new. We'll be holding you captive until your leader agrees to our terms. First, he resigns from his 'throne'. Second, I want you." The figure pointed at Macchi. "To become my queen. What do you say?" The figure said.

"Well first off, Yoh just had a baby so he'll probably be out for another week. Secondly, No! I have no interest in becoming your wife. Finally, Faust is right behind you." Macchi said. The figure turned around when he was knocked against the wall by a skeleton. Lyserg jabbed the guard next to him and Zeruel appeared right beside his master. The other guards quickly retreated when they saw the angel. The leader looked up to see the angel, hanging overhead with its heavenly blade ready. Skeletons surrounded the building and came swarming through the door. Pouring into the church like a bunch of cockroaches. Faust entered last with a unit of bodyguards protecting him. The group was cornered into a corner where they cowered like frightened children. Zeruel then disappeared and Macchi was back on her feet. Faust stared down at the leader.

"Now...let's talk on my terms." Faust scorned at the leader.

"Wow...that was pretty fast." Macchi said. Lyserg nodded in agreement. Faust opened the van door and unlocked the car. "I find hard to believe they agreed so easily. It was so nice of them to do the investigation at the Bloody Hound Pub." Macchi continued. Lyserg opened the van door and Macchi hopped inside.

"True, but think about it. They only agreed because they feared us and we were the underlings! They would have had no chance against Yoh." Lyserg said. He closed the door and Faust started the car. "So I guess we'll now be heading back to Japan, right?" Lyserg ask Faust.

"Yeah. I'm glad you two called me. I don't know what that freak would have done to you two." Faust said. The car continued down the road to the airport. "What were you two doing when you got caught?" Faust asked them a few minutes down the road. They passed a sign seeing the airport was ten kilometers away.

"Nothing much. I got this book and-"Macchi started, but Faust interrupted.

"Really, which novel?!" Faust asked. Macchi pulled out the book.

"Um...101 Ways to Win A Guy's Heart from another Girl..." Macchi answered. Faust attitude quickly changed.

"Oh...that must be a...interesting book...can I see it real fast?" Faust asked. Macchi handed him the book. Faust slowed down the car to skim the pages. "This entries are quite...radical. Macchi, this isn't how you get someone to love you. Love is a bond between two people that are willing to struggle and help each other." Faust lectured Macchi. He handed the book back to her and picked up speed. "So who's the...oh it's Hao isn't it?" Faust said. Macchi blushed. The first time she had blushed in life, as far as she knew.

"How...how did you know?!" Macchi asked him.

"You just told me." Faust laughed. Macchi didn't see the humor in the matter, but Lyserg was laughing along as well. Faust's laugher died down and he picked up speed again. "Listen. If you really want Hao to love you, you need to tell him up front and build from there." Faust said. Macchi crossed her arms and pouted.

"What you know about love? You're even older than Hao!" Macchi insulted him. Faust sighed and shook his head.

"Well...I was married and I've gone the whole nine yards. Take it from me, you don't need the book." Faust said. Macchi sighed and put the book in her bag.

"Alright...I listen your advice." Macchi replied pouting. Faust smiled again.

"Trust me you'll thank me later...what was the name of the book again?" Faust asked.

"101 Ways to Win A Guy's Heart from another Girl." Macchi said again. Faust got a blank stare in his eyes.

"Use the book!" Faust said. Macchi was confused completely.

"Ok you told not to use the book, but now you said I should?" Macchi asked.

"Macchi, please tell me know Tamao and Hao are planning to get married!" Faust said. Faust started to slow down as he approaches the exit to the airport.

"Yeah, I know, that's why I need the book." Macchi said back. Faust sighed again.

"Please Macchi, don't break them up. It's a terrible crime to break someone's heart. Tamao has grown very attached to him. She has already suffered enough." Faust said. Faust was only trying to protect Tamao. He knew what the girl was like before Hao and her meet. She was a lost girl that was shunned by everyone.

"Last time I checked, there wasn't a law that prohibited breaking couples apart." Macchi said. Lyserg remained silent the whole time. He didn't want to get involved with the politics of love, his own were bad enough.

"Macchi, love is one of those things you don't want to break. When you lose someone you love, you literally lose a part of yourself." Faust said, this time from the heart. "You don't want to know how that feels, Macchi." Faust finished. Faust pulled up to the rent-a-car center and turned off the van. The zombie servant was awaiting them. When Faust opened the trunk, the servant began to unload the trunk. Faust left the keys in the car and left for the hanger. Macchi and Lyserg both followed him. The plane was all ready and the other zombie started to load the cargo haul with the luggage. Faust lowered the walkway and looked at Macchi. "Macchi, you really need to think about what you're doing. Maybe you should put yourself in Tamao's shoes." Those were the final words Faust said to Macchi while in England. Macchi never gave much though about what he said, but Lyserg sure did. Macchi opened the book again and started to read more. Lyserg sat across from her. His gaze looked down at the floor.

"Macchi, maybe we should rethink all this. I don't anyone to suffer from our ambitions." Lyserg said in remorse. Macchi paid no attention to his plea. She continued to read the book.

"You think I need to work out? It says right her a guy always falls for the better fit girl." Macchi asked. Lyserg was disgusted.

"Macchi! You're not even listening to me! I don't want to be a part of this game!" Lyserg yelled at her.

"So you're telling me, you hate Tamao?" Macchi said right back. Her nose was still in the book. Lyserg blushed that bright scarlet red once again.

"Of...of course not! I can't...I can't stop thinking about her, but I-"

"See the more reason why you should help me." Macchi interrupted. The plane began to start up and move down the runway. "You love Tamao, I love Hao, we break them and both get the one we want. It's a win-win situation." Macchi continued. Lyserg laid back in seat and looked up. It was about nine P.M. A lot had happened when Macchi and him were in that van that abducted them. The plane picked up speed as it ascended in the air. "Ok, but just as long we don't hurt either of their hearts." Lyserg answered. The plane continued to ascend in the air. Both sat there a long time thinking of what to do next.
