Warning: This is my first fan-fic on shaman king so excuse all the ooc-ness…oh and there's a few bad words…not much else really so I'll leave ya to it. Enjoy!


Ch-11, Avalanche

Oh yeah, Ren was peeved. He was stuck out in the middle of a frozen pine forest with an injured amnesiac friend and no way of getting home.

'Maybe I should've bought that cell phone rather than the blade polish'he thought randomly as he watched HoroHoro sleep uneasily whilst trying to think of a way out of this mess.

HoroHoro grumbled something which sounded like 'stop' or 'drop' but he continued to mumble. Curious, Ren got up and came in closer to hear what he was saying…it could be helpful.

At first it was just groaning but then he heard one audible word which shocked him into paralysis.

"Ren..."


They were stood outside the corporation building now, each peering over a heap of snow watching the building. No signs of life were found.

"Remember the plan." Yoh said as he glanced over to the building again. "Ready?" he asked as he positioned himself to move. A murmur of whispered 'yeses' danced on the wind to his ears as he prepared for battle,

"Go" he whispered.


'He remembers me!' Ren was in shock. Somewhere in his dreams HoroHoro still remembered who he was, and that made Ren happy. There was hope yet.

"AAARRRRGGGGHHHHHH" a thrilling shout resounded through the icy mountains surrounding the area. Ren was immediately alert and on his feet. He glanced back at HoroHoro who was still sleeping.

But then a low rumbling sound caught his attention. He froze. 'Shit!' slowly he turned behind him; his suspicions were confirmed.

"Avalanche!" he yelled waking HoroHoro up and grabbing his belongings, the blanket and rucksack. HoroHoro stood, a little light headed and wobbly but he stood all the same. Ren grabbed his hand and pulled him in the opposite direction of the incoming avalanche.

Time was running out, the snow was faster than they're legs and already HoroHoro was weakening and slowing down.

Ren was panicking now; he had no answers, no solutions this time! 'Please don't let me die! I've only just found my heart; don't let me die without using it!' Ren pleaded to every god he knew of. Suddenly something caught his eye; caves! He dashed toward the closest one throwing HoroHoro in, before diving in himself.

The snow thundered past, a little followed them into the cave but they were sheltered here. Ren searched in his sack for a flashlight, wanting to make sure HoroHoro was ok. He found it and switched it on revealing a rather small cave that extended for miles downward. He shone the light on HoroHoro still form beside him; he was asleep again. Or at least Ren thought he was; that is until he saw the trickle of blood coming from a gaping wound on the side of his head.

"Oh no!" he groaned quickly searching for more bandage, "HoroHoro!" he called trying to rouse his friend. "HoroHoro come on wake up." He found the bandage and quickly attempted to bind his new wound.

It took a while but HoroHoro finally woke up, screaming. Ren held him until the panic was over, rubbing his back in circles, soothing his friend with his company.

"Koloro? Where is she?" he asked in a rough voice before having a coughing fit. This worried Ren; HoroHoro was still feverish and was now coughing and shivering? This was not good; HoroHoro had all the symptoms of pneumonia, add to that the nasty head wound and he could have a concussion. Ren's heart went out to HoroHoro who was clearly not having a very good couple of days.

"I don't know." Ren said still rubbing HoroHoro's back more for his own comfort rather than HoroHoro's.

"I hope she's ok." He said croakily, falling asleep in Ren's arms again.

"She will be but you gotta stay awake for me, understand?" Ren asked but he received no answer. "Horo?"


"Did you have to scream so loud?" Faust asked Ryu as they were being marched down the corridors to the dungeons.

"Yes, it got their attention didn't it?" Ryu said holding his head up high as though he was proud of it.

"Well let's just hope Yoh and Manta get in ok." Faust said quietly so as not to be heard.

"Yes, let's hope because I was not meant for living in dungeons." Ryu said grumpily. Faust sighed and continued to be marched down the endless corridors.

"I hope they don't get lost." He mumbled.


Yoh snuck around the back and into a vent shaft while the few guards were catching Faust and Ryu. Manta was close behind. They slowly crept along until Yoh stopped and looked out through a wire mesh grid.

"I think I've found the control center that was on the map." He said as he made sure no one was in the room. There was one guard but he would be easy to take care of. Amidamaru would see to that.

When the guard was securely locked away, Yoh dropped down and over to the controls, scanning the screens for a missing blue haired Ainu. After a while, he hung hishead in defeat. HoroHoro wasn't in the building.

That wasn't stopping him from freeing the others though. He scanned the control pad but could recognise any thing.

"Manta can you find out how to free the children from here?" he asked as Manta began to plug in his laptop, downloading information and codes.

"Sure but this could take a while." He said settling down on the floor. Yoh sighed again and leaned back in the swivel chair he was sat on.

"Ok, wake me when you're done." He said resting his eyes for a minute.


Koloro looked around searching for her shaman but where ever she looked there was only blinding white snow covering the ground for miles, and still rumbling below her.

She and Bason had been separated from Ren and HoroHoro but were at least safer together.

She just hoped they were ok.
