Disclaimer: I do not own Shaman king, it belongs to Hiroyuki Takei.
Horo Horo could hear his heart beating fast as he slumped down behind the tree and gasped for a breath of fresh air." How do I get myself into these messes?"
Flashback
Horo –Horo walked through the gardens, branding his snowboard in front of him as a shield. Ever since the death of Ren's sister Jun everyone had been on guard, and even more alert. It was just the three of them now, and they all knew the killer could or would strike at anytime, they had proved that with the last killing they had made. However even though he was outside, horo –horo knew he couldn't escape the killer, he had found the gate to the house locked and there was no other way out. Looking around him horo-horo felt chills crawling up his spine, and he jumped as a bush ahead of him rustled but it was only a bird jumping around, looking for food in the snow. Horo –Horo sighed and continued on, but as he walked, he could hear the sound of extra crunching snow behind him, walking as he walked and stopping when he stopped. Turning his eyes went as wide as a dinner plate; standing behind him was a creature of huge proportions, carrying a carving knife in its huge right hand. He couldn't see much, but Horo –Horo knew he had to get out of there. Now. "Um.hi Mr. Ghostly killer guy…I was just... Leaving" Turning Horo-Horo took off like a rocket, through the chilling snow, with the thing hot on his trail…"
End Flashback
He looked around the
tree and sighed in relief, it seemed he had lost the killer for now,
but it wasn't so. Horo –Horo could hear it breathing loudly as it
came; closer and closer, to him and he ran again, but he wasn't
fast enough. The Thing took a few strides and was in front of horo
–horo in an instant, and before he could blink he was tied up and
being carried toward the iced over pond in the yard. " Ha that
can't hurt me, it's frozen over!
" But the thing just
looked at him and smiled its sinister smile, and continued on to the
lake.
Ren and Yoh turned and looked at each other as a scream of terror reached their ears from the second story window. " Horo –Horo!" They made it out of the house to the pond however it took and a while and by the time they got there, it was too late. As they looked into the pond they could see the face of horo- horo staring back at them, his eyes still holding the look of terror as the body floated down to the bottom, into the darkness. "We're too late, Ren, whoever it is got horo –horo" Ren snorted "Well that was obvious genius, and we'd better get out of here unless we want to be next. " He turned and walked off toward the gates, with yoh running after him, " Ren wait up, we have to stick together "
Ren and Yoh walked for a while after they discovered the gates locked and all other exits blocked, and with yet another blizzard coming they retired back to the house. "Well yoh this is another fine mess you've gotten us into " Ren sipped a cup of coco and glanced at the furious falling snow. However yoh didn't answer, he too was staring at the snow, a grim look on his face. " Fine if you 'r e not going to say anything I am leaving, I will find a way out on my own!" Yoh turned and watched as Ren stomped out of the room, leaving yoh alone once again.
The figure smiled as he watched them from the tree, so helpless and scared. Like a bunch of little bunnies, and he smiled at this thought. "Soon my little rabbits, you shall know the true meaning of fear when I finish you off." Laughing he jumped from the tree and walked to the lake where horo-horo had met his death. "Now my dear one. Finish them, no mercy" The creature looked up at him with its pale red eyes and nodded, then picked up the knife and walked off, leaving behind him his boss, and two headless and limbless snow creatures oddly resembling yoh and Ren.
Ren grumbled as he trugged up the stairs one at a time, the ornaments on his Kwan -Do ringing as they hit the stick part of his weapon. "Stupid yoh" As he turned to the thirteenth step Ren stopped …there at the top of the steps was the creature, holding the knife in its hand. Ren reached for his Kwan do, and an a few minutes later the thing lay dead at his feet. It looked to be an evil ghost, and indeed it was. Ren watched as it vanished but suddenly his hand went to the back of his neck and he fell, dead.
"Ren? Where are you?" Yoh looked around, his flashlight waving from side to side as he walked. "Ren?" He had searched almost the entire house ,but there was still no sign of the Chinese shaman anywhere. "It's like he vanished into thin air , well now for the stairs" The railing was warm at his touch and as yoh pulled his hand back , he noticed he couldn't see his breath anymore. "what's going on around here?" He made his way slowly and carefully up the steps ,but stopped in the middle of the stairwell. " there laying on one of the steps , was the body of Ren Tao with a message carved into the wall next to him. "YOU"RE NEXT ASAKURA" Backing away yoh ran quickly until he was outside and was standing behind the same one horo-horo had been behind earlier" I have ..to…" A laugh came from the trees " yoh ,yoh, yoh, poor stupid yoh. " Yoh turned and looked up in the trees, and when he saw the owner of the voice his eyes widened" NO ..it can't be…not you…"
