Chapter 2

The Message

(YFA) I do not own the Shaman King characters, or other things I'll mention later.

"Yoh is still sleeping!" Horo Horo shouted.

"Calm down." Ren said.

"Yoh trained pretty hard tonight. He was really tired." Manta said.

This was the last day of school. All students were excited, but, as usual, Yoh took everything slightly.

Chapter 2 The Message

"Ok, class is over."

All the students came out running, and some met their friends. But the gang walked out of the classroom.

Yoh stretched. "Yawn Finally school is over."

"I don't know how you knew school was over." Horo Horo said sarcastilly.

"Well, now that school is over," Chocolove said thinking, "let's go on vacation!" He was wearing a swimsuit, goggles, and a rubber ring.

Ren stung Chocolove's nose with his blade.

Chocolove shouted. "You didn't have to do that!" He said rubbing his nose.

"You are forgetting why we came here." Ren said.

"That's right. We haven't had any information." Lyzerg said looking at his virtual oracle.

Once in the cabin…

"I wonder…why we haven't got information." Yoh said.

"Yes, it's strange. We should have received some information." Amidamaru said.

'What will happen now?' Ren thought.

"I can't stand this anymore! I need to get some information or I'll get crazy!" Horo Horo shouted and stood up.

"Horo Horo, wait!" Yoh said standing up to stop Horo Horo.

BEEP BEEP. BEEP BEEP.

"Huh?"

The virtual oracle was ringing. Some students looked into the cabin because of the noise.

"Are you ok?"

"Yes, nothing happened. Thanks." Yoh told them. They went away.

"Well, let's read the message." Horo Horo said.

All Shamans who succeeded the second stage of the Tournament most meet in Canada.

"Canada is huge! How are we supposed to know where?" Chocolove said.

"It must be like the Pache Village. We must look for it." Manta said.

"All right! Another adventure!" Horo Horo exclaimed.

"It will be like before." Lyserg said smiling.

"I have to call someone." Ren said as he went out of the cabin.

Once in the house…

Anna was watching TV.

"You also received the message? Anna asked.

"Yes…How do you know about it?" Yoh asked.

"You aren't the only Shamans living here."

"Mr. Yoh, what do you think of going to Canada?" Tamao asked.

"It will be great." Yoh said smiling.

"Aren't you forgetting something?" Tokageroh asked.

"Huh? What are you talking about, Tokageroh?" Ryu asked.

"We haven't an airplane."

All were disappointed.

"Why the long faces?" Ren said. "Remember that my family owns airplanes."

"So, in the train…" Manta started.

"Yes, I called a pilot. They will come for us tomorrow in the morning."

"All right!"

"We should pack." Faust said.

Anna turned off the TV and headed for her room.

"You're going too, Anna?" Yoh asked.

"If I don't, who'll take care of training you?"

Yoh fell back.

"The same goes to you." Pilika said.

Horo Horo fell back.

At night…

Manta couldn't sleep, so he went to drink a glass of water and breathe some air.

'All of this Shaman Tournament has changed my life. It all started when I met Yoh… I remember that at first I got mad at him because he lied about seeing ghosts. But when I discovered Yoh was a Shaman, everything changed. We became friends and met all of our friends. Sometimes I envy them for having that special bond with their guardian ghosts…'

"What are you doing, Manta?"

"Aagghh!"

"Don't worry. It's me." Yoh said.

"You scared me."

Yoh was looking at the stars. Manta sat down beside Yoh.

"I couldn't sleep. I was thinking of what could happen tomorrow." Manta said.

"I couldn't sleep either. But we shouldn't fear what we don't know, so you should try to sleep." He smiled. "I'll stay a bit longer."

"Ok, good night."

Tomorrow we will go to Canada to continue the Shaman Tournament. It will probably be the place where the next Shaman King will rise.
