Chapter 3:

Amidamaru could hear the beads as they came soaring toward them. He sensed Yoh become slightly tense, and Riana suddenly felt weak. He couldn't sense the beads, it was as if they were trying to hide their power. He picked up Riana and dodged from where he thought the beads would land, but to his surprise they were following him!

"This is ridiculous! Why are we running away from a string of beads! IN A LIVINGROOM!" Riana shouted exasperated.

"Amidamaru!" Amidamaru faced Yoh. "Comon! We can use spirit unity!"

"No Yoh! You can't possibly defeat someone in my league!"

Amidamaru watched flabbergasted as another set of prayer beads soared through the air, glowing a blazing purple color, this power was also concealed! To his surprise, on the other end of this new set of purple glowing prayer beads was . . . Anna!

If the situation wasn't so confusing, Amidamaru would have laughed at the look on Yoh's face! Although, he was pretty sure that his face was identical to Yoh's. His jaw was literally on the ground, and he knew why. No one had ever seen Anna personally combat someone with her itako powers without commanding Yoh to intervene when she was tired.

Anna had a look of concentration on her face and leapt forward, swinging her beads in front of her in a circular motion, immediately the opposing beads started to lunge toward Anna. She did a back-flip in mid-air and held a satisfied smirk on her face. She delivered a left-hook to the air behind her. To the onlooker's surprise, a man appeared as he was knocked backward from the force of the blow.

The man was dressed in all black, a black trench coat was donned as well . . . with a red ascot! What the heck! He looked like he was posing as a male Anna. His hair was a bright blue . . . like their fellow Shaman Horo-Horo. The man slowly got up, and was glaring at Anna with a burning hatred.

He began to speak in a deep voice, "Seera guel jagon mithcvwry Haru. Yohyne quesyyo Uyona?"

To everyone's surprise, Anna spoke in a low tone that would almost be considered seductive, "Uyona! Htgh youthgara souvia regtagupry . . . Seera guel jagon mithcvwry Anna."

The stranger pointed to Riana, "Uyona gupa tyupyry goherwque!"

Anna glared, "UYONA YOTHEPUIY YOTUIN WERQUTYORI!"

The stranger looked surprise and hesitantly lowered his arm. He cleared his throat. "TOIETLIOP!" Then he vanished into thin air.

Yoh looked at Anna, "What did he say?"

Anna calmly glanced at Yoh, "He said good-bye."

"That's no what I meant . . ."

"If you want to know, tell me where you were last night."

"I can answer that!" Riana said, stepping away from Amidamaru, "My name is Riana. I found him at a dumpster with samurai boy here, He was hurt pretty badly and I took him in. In return they kidnapped me and took me here."

Anna nodded, "So, you are the person Uyona's worried about."

Riana stiffened slightly, "He wants to kill me."

"I know, which is why I didn't let Haru kill you.'

"Excuse me!" Yoh backtracked to the sofa, realizing the intensity of Anna's glare, "Um . . . will you tell me what happened who is Haru.'

"Haru was the male itako that I was fighting just now. Uyona is the most powerful of all of the Itako's known alive. I will change that soon enough though. He has gone insane, sending a powerful itako here to slay a weakened spirit sayer."

"Spirit sayer?" Amidamaru was confused.

"Haven't you wondered why you have been able to perform physical tasks when you touch Riana? She is one of the very few spirit sayers left alive . . . just like itako's, the practice of spirit sayer's is rare. A sayer can give spirits life again . . ." Anna glanced at Riana, "If they channel their power correctly. However, you cannot resurrect the dead. They simply have the ability to become physical, but they will still be a spirit. So don't worry Yoh, Amidamaru will still be your guardian ghost."

Riana stepped slightly closer to Amidamaru and grasped his hand. He became mortal immediately

"How do you know all of this?" Riana said as she gazed at Amidamaru, he was still giant.

"I know everything."

Everyone in the room stared at her in amazement and she became uncomfy. "Actually, it's because I am . . . I have a confession to make. I am the last known being who is known as an itako sayer. I have the powers of both an itako and a spirit sayer.'

Riana held a look of awe on her face and then determination, "Train me then. I have heard legends of your kind. You have had a rough past, and you are probably more powerful than anything in this world . . ."

"Hey!" Yoh stepped up from the couch, "I though I was the most powerful. I am the Shaman King."

Anna nodded, "You are the most powerful shaman. You are in a different league than me. If we were to have a shaman fight, you would win by the skin of your teeth, but if we were to focus on who could make their furyoku last the longest while draining your life energy, I would win and you would die."

Yoh and Amidamaru gulped.

"I will train you."

Riana smiled, Amidamaru frowned. Whether Anna liked it or not, he was going to make sure Riana wouldn't get hurt.

R&R MINNA-SAN!
