Carly-chan: Well, here I am again at the end (er well…this time it's kind of the middle) of the month, ready to write my fanfic! Today was the day of my deadline and I just finished it (which is good because it was due at 5:00 and it is now 4:50) so now I'm rather ready to start writing my fanfic chapter for this month and hope again that I can write it well enough and quick enough to post it on my week break! Aww… I miss you guys so much during the long month, I don't like not writing my fan fiction until the end of the month but I guess it's the only way I'll be able to write them at all. At the end of this chapter I will explain to you guys how I won't be here for a while after next month and stuff… yeah you'll see when you get there. Oh and as I promised Ren will be starting off this chapter instead of Lea like usual…as soon as I get past all the other stuff that goes up here that is. smiles

devilicious-jo- Thank you for complimenting, saying it's great and all… I really like this story…I just wish I could spend more time on it. Yup! She still thinks that he's a girl… she wont know that he's not until after she meets him. …which might be in this chapter… I hope!

Andrea Nefisto- Hello! …You are a new reader aren't you? …Welcome! Umm… sorry… I got a little excited there. Yup….poor Lea…she's being led on by her poor innocent mind into thinking she'll get a sweet sister but instead she'll get a rambunctious brother….I wonder if rambunctious is the proper word to use there. I wonder if she will be disappointed (doesn't know yet….lol)

SGCred- Yup… Lea will soon find the truth ….'beautiful darling…brother?' …what…I thin he's rather pretty…maybe not darling but still rather pretty…or maybe that's just me. Oh! I forgot to send you that poem last time! I'll put it at the bottom of the email when I reply to you (which I hope will be soon and that I will reply before I finish writing this…if that's the case why am I even talking about it? Lol) Yay potential! Yeah…I already started planning that scene…unfortunately I have a horrible memory and like a computer that crashed I lost half the file so it won't be as good as the first time I worked it out…unless I can miraculously remember what else was going to happen. (…great I just compared my mind to a computer…note to self: …stop going on the computer so much!) Ha! I remember that episode! …I never got that joke because my subtitles sucked (someone explained it to me about a month later though) but it was still funny just to watch… I never get Chocolove's jokes…well sometimes I do when my subtitles are nice enough to explain them. Yeah…poor innocent Lea…oh and thanks for reminding me about Ren always saying Kisama…I almost forgot and it really is a key part of the story I would suppose! Alright I'll try to put in some Jun/Pailong …I'm not so great at writing about pairings but I will try!

Disclaimer: Ok…so I don't own Shaman King….but I do own Lea huggles her and I love her so if anybody tries to steal her… I'll beat them up gets glared at by my character Catsuu ..Eep! Uhh…I still love you Catsuu! …huggles both Lea is like your younger sister…I made her in your image so you have to help me protect her… hmm…if Catsuu is like Lea's older sister that would make her Ren's sister too…and then Catsuu has a brother and a husband and daughter too…wow….family is getting way too big!

Chapter 3: Arrival and Twilight's Meeting

3rd Person POV-Ren…

Ren awoke a bit later than usual on that morning after his visitor came with he message. When he awoke he saw a sight that he'd rather not have seen just then, although he didn't show it he was rather disgruntled about the previous night. What he saw was the Ainu called HoroHoro sitting in his room reading his letter. "What are you doing here kisama! Do you really think that you are what I want to see when I first get up in the morning?" He yelled even more harshly than usual, he was very, very disgruntled.

"Ah! Ren you're awake!" The Ainu piped, a bit surprised. "I was just--"

"Shut up! Put my letter down and get out! I'll deal with you later!" Ren cut him off.

"Alright Ren." HoroHoro decided not to challenge him, seeing how bad a mood his friend really was in. He slinked out into the kitchen, he hadn't eaten breakfast just yet and he was rather hungry. Ren snatched up the letter from where the ice shaman had left it, he glared down at the letter. "Stupid letter!" He shouted, cursing it under his breath before throwing it harshly aside nearly shredding it, that letter was the cause of quite a few problems for him. "My other half, my twin! What is that crap? People don't just appear out of nowhere like that!" He mumbled to himself as he got dressed and went out to eat the breakfast that had been prepared by the short young boy, Manta, and the shy young girl, Tamao. He sat down frustrated at the table, not speaking to anyone, and they left him alone too. That was just the first day but by the end of the second day he was able to work out most of his frustrations about the matter and come to terms with it. The third day went by as it normally would have at the Funbari Onsen, Ren and Horo fought again and they all slaved under Anna's dictator-like power.

Lea POV

The plane ride goes by quickly as I daydream about my sister and this Tokyo that I have become rather anxious and please to be going to. I may even learn about the world while I'm in such a big city as Tokyo. I'm not very confused actually, for the most part I understand what everyone is saying, Mother and Father got me cassette tapes and books to help me learn Japanese, I studied for every waking hour, which was a long while since I haven't slept much, for those three days. I even study some on the plane ride, I'm learning quickly and there's only a few words I don't quite understand, and I can even write in Japanese almost fluently.

The plane is landing now, I understand where they are telling me to go but once I get outside of the airport I'm on my own I suppose. Mother and Father gave me money to stay in a hotel for a few days before I go meet sister, and money for food and to survive on. I hope that nobody notices how much money I have, I have heard that big cities like this can be pretty rough places, I pray for safety. I was told to go to a certain hotel, the Tokyo Regency Hotel, I have it written down on a small card with the address but I don't know how to get there.

I'm wandering the streets now, I have been for the past few hours, hoping that I can find the place before the sun sets, that would be fairly soon and it's getting cold out. I want to ask someone for directions but I'm afraid, these people all look a bit scary to me, they are so different from anything I've seen before, I can't remember the city so I don't know what city people are like and I never really talked to many people anyway. I'm usually pretty good at seeing how people really are, reading them through their eyes, but right now I'm far to scared. I'm usually not this judgmental either, I hate being like this, I also hate the word hate, now I'm getting flustered, my pace is quickening, I'm about to turn a corner, I hope it takes me in the right direction.

I feel pain, I was knocked back by something when I turned the corner, I moan softly to myself from the pain before looking up to see what made me fall over. There was a boy, quiet and proper, he kept to himself a lot it seemed, rather serious and there were many years of a dragged out sadness harbored deep within his heart, I saw this in his eyes and by the way he moved, his frail body showed me all the truths about him. "I… I'm sorry sir." I say sadly, I feel so bad, tears are swelling up in my eyes.

"Oh…it's alright." The boy says bringing himself to his feet and extending his hands to help me up.

As I take his hands and he pulls my fragile petite body up I notice the bag he was carrying, he seemed to have just gone shopping, one of the things he bought was eggs, I could tell because they were leaking out quite a bit. "Oh… your eggs… I'm so very sorry…I… I really didn't mean to do any harm, please take this." He looks down at his eggs, just noticing that they were broken and almost leaking on his clean clothes, as I dig into the small purse I was carrying. I give him money to buy more eggs to replace the ones that I broke and more for his kindness.

"Thank you…" He says, he doesn't seem to expect to get any money for what I did, I find that a bit strange, I had always believed that we must compensate for the wrongs we have done, it seems silly the idea of not repaying him.

"Oh! Kind sir would you be able to tell me how to get to this address?" I hand him the card with the information of the hotel on it, and I listen intently as he explains to me where to go, storing it all carefully away into my memory.

"….And that's how you get there." He finishes explaining, I take my card back from his outstretched hand.

"Thank you very much kind stranger!" I say as I begin to walk a few steps away, then I turn back to him and yell as I wave energetically, "If we ever meet again I'll give you something to really repay your kindness, something more precious than a bit of extra money!"

I get to my hotel safe and sound thanks to that kind young boy, I think he was about my age, he was so kind, I really admire him… I didn't think that in a big thriving city like this there were young boys so proper. As I look around the hotel I see that it is beautiful and large, I pay for a five night stay, on the second day I think that I will go meet sister, tomorrow I will call her and tell her so.

Carly-chan: Ok guys…so I promised to explain my summer hiatus, which if you don't know means ..pretty much break, that may actually last all summer. Ok so we bought a house and after the 10th of June we get the keys and get to start working on it, so my hiatus starts on the 13th because that is the day after my deadline, which means that I most likely won't be able to work on my fanfic that month, but I suppose I will try, and I'm just plain busy for a lot of the month of June though. Then once we move in (I think that is on the 26th) I won't have an internet connection for a while… although I may be able to type my chapters and upload them at the library it isn't the most likely thing, I will miss you guys a whole lot though! Ok so back to the story... Umm…most importantly this time, because I started actually introducing characters, please, please, please tell me if anybody is OOC! Especially Horo because I just have a feeling I didn't do him right…yeah. Also can anybody guess who the person was that Lea met on the street that helped her out? …I tried not to make it too deathly obvious but I'm not very good at hiding things like that…so go ahead and take your guesses! Hmm…let's see…what else do I want to talk about…oh yeah! The Tokyo Regency Hotel, is pretty much a spin-off of the Hyatt Regency Hotel, which is where I stayed for Ohayocon and I liked it a lot! Oh and also please tell me if you notice places where my tense is off…I'm more used to writing in past tense and I keep accidentally slipping back to it. Oh and SGCred…erm…I haven't replied to your email yet but I will very soon…right away after this I will start on my reply!
