Chapter Twenty-Four: Yoh's Return
Darkness...that all that was in the tiny enclosed place Asakura Yoh currently sat in. He had been in this very place for little over four days, he was beginning to feel as if he was ready to leave.
The bright sun light almost blinded the young shaman as he walked out of the cave, his senses once again coming in tune with all the things they had been lacking the past few days.
The brown headed boy slowly walked back to his palace, his body weak from the lack of nourishment. At least he survived the hole, he was the first shaman to do so. Not that it surprised him that he did, he knew he had too. So much was at stake, not only could he lose someone that was very close to him, but he could very well lose his entire kingdom.
He went into the cave with the confidence that he would make it out because he had to.
As he neared the gate he could hear the sounds of a shaman fight. He blinked as his fateful spirit appeared beside him.
"Yoh-dono." He said.
Yoh blinked, "What's going on, Amidamaru?" He asked, still walking.
"Ren was attacked by the Hana-Gumi and Horo went to help him." Amidamaru said.
Yoh's pace quickened as he went to the aid of his friends.
OOO
Ren glared, "What did you bring her?" He snapped at the ice shaman.
Horo's mouth dropped, "She followed me!" He said pointing to the green haired woman.
Kanna grinned, "Don't lose your focus!" She laughed as she sent her oversoul into another attack on Ren.
Jun's eyes widened, "Pailong!" She shouted. The corpse blocked the attack.
Ren's glare hardened, "I do not need any help, both of you leave!"
Horo snorted, "I fought these guys...er...girls before." He pointed out, "Their tougher than they look."
Macchi nodded, "Just because we're girls doesn't mean we're weak!" She shouted, slapping Jack, her pumpkin doll, with her broom stick, "Jack! Trick or Treat!"
Horo blocked her attack with a wall of ice, but his wall was shattered by Mari's doll, "Baby Chuck!" She yelled, holding the doll by it's blond yarn-like hair. The doll held up it's rattle, which began to shoot at Horo.
Ren rolled his eyes, "This is really getting on my nerves! All I wanted to do was spend some time with my future wife...but, noooo, you three had to come and start a fight. BASON!"
Ren's fateful spirit transformed into a huge oversoul, towering over the girls, "Now I suggest you three run off back to your master Hao and tell him to shove it." Ren growled.
Kanna blinked before he eyes settled into a glare, "We'll be back." She snapped harshly before the girls disappeared in a flash of flames.
Horo stared up at Ren, his arms crossed, "Show off!" He shouted.
Ren smirked as Bason returned to his normal size, "Don't be jealous you can't do anything like that."
Horo glared, "Of course I can." He pouted.
"Ne, you guys? What's going on?" Yoh said as he arrived at the scene.
Both Taos and Horo blinked, staring at Yoh.
Yoh laughed sheepishly, "Yo!" He said with an added wave.
OOO
"Yoh-sama, you have to eat something!" Tamao said shoving a plate of food in front of Yoh.
Yoh smiled sheepishly, "Thanks Tamao." He said as he slowly began to eat.
Pirika glared at her brother and finace, "You two are so reckless!" She scolded as he cleaned the wounds, "You'd rather fight each other than fight whom you're suppose to."
Horo pouted, "He started it!" He cried pointing at he scowling Chinese shaman, "I told you to leave, but you insisted on staying. You left yourself open for ridcule." Ren replied, cringing as Pirika tended his wounds.
Jun looked on the scene fondly, "Neither one of you needed to worry with Pailong there!" She said brightly. Everyone sweatdropped.
"So...Yoh-kun...what was it like..." Pirika said slowly, glancing over her shoulder, "Yohmei's hole I mean."
Yoh shrugged, "I dunno...cold, dark and quiet." He said, pausing from eating.
Pirika smiled, "Now you can go recuse Anna-san." She pointed out.
Yoh slowly nodded, returning to his food, "Yeah..." That would be eaiser said than done.
