A Note From the Author:
Long time no see fanfic world! It's been about a year since I typed my usual day-dream world of my fav anime fanfics! And here I am, typing yet another inspired Shaman King fic! I was introduced to the anime in Cartoon Network (so excuse me for getting wrong info from the orginal airing of the anime) and had to write about it! SK is so kewl! Wahhh! Can't express how much I love the anime! Ehem, let's go to the story then. Oh note that I'm a new fan so I just know a few characters, though I have done some few research about them. Hope you like this one!
note that the setting, story plot and some characters are fictional
Chapter I: Who's Up For a Vacation?
Yoh was lazily sitting on the edge of the floor of the Asakura's compound. The breeze was bringing in small Sakura petals and scent of the approaching summer. He looked into the open environment around him; calm trees, chirping birds, and the sky was at its bluest. He laid back much closer to a post beside him and hummed into the breeze's tune.
"I see your much relaxed Yoh" Amidamaru, his samurai guardian spirit came into the background looking at his friend
"Yeah, I'm glad the Shaman Tournament had a time-out, this way we Shamans and their guardian spirits can kick back and lay around doing nothing" Yoh slyly smirked
"I wouldn't say the time-out was to kick back and lay around doing nothing, Yoh" Anna's voice dangerously came from behind Yoh and Amidamaru
Both squirmed at the sound of the Spirit Medium's voice.
"Gee Anna, you know this is the perfect time to relax from all the tension and pressure, cut me some slack here" Yoh tried to convince her with a smile
Anna's eyebrows dangerously connected which made Amidamaru disappear.
"Cut you some slack?" she crossed her arms "I'll cut you some slack when you've done your daily training"
"But Anna…" Yoh pleaded
"No buts! The only buts around here is yours doing your training! Now, I want a 10 miles jogging, 500 pushups and 500 crouches. No dinner if you can't complete that" Anna ordered as she left
Yoh was left with waterfalls of tears flowing from his chibi eyes
"Gee Yoh, you should really relax, your last battle with Lenny was quite harsh ya know" Morty, Yoh's bestfriend, came from the sliding door behind and sat beside Yoh.
"You know Anna, she's always looking out for the best" Yoh smiled
"She's a tough trainer, I bet not even Amidamaru seen a more devilish and evil trainer as her" Morty sighed
Amidamaru came into view again and nodded his head in approval
"Is that so?" Anna's voice came from no where
Morty tried to run, but Anna captured him with her beads
"I have a few dishes that would like to meet you 'Shorty' and after that, Mr. Floor need a good scrubbing, and I hear Mr. Toilet needing your assistance! And…" Anna dragged poor, crying Morty inside the house
"Help" Morty managed to squeal before being tortured
"Well, since Morty's busy, we should get into the training too, Amidamaru" Yoh placed his hands over his head as walking towards the exit
"But Yoh, I agree with Morty, you should just relax a bit, not all great Shamans are great because they train all the time. Relaxation is an essence to one's Shaman training too" Amidamaru explained as following Yoh
"Yeah, you're right, but I can relax after I win the tournament and be crowned Shaman King!" Yoh smirked widely
"You are so stubborn,Yoh" Amidamaru laughed
As Yoh was jogging his usual 10 miles per day training. Trey, also known as Horo Horo, was somewhere in the forest with his sister, Pilika, training.
"Come on Trey! You got slower by a second and a half! What's up with that?" Pilika frowned
"Pilika… I'm trying my best… we've been out here for a week now… and the Shaman King time-out is only two weeks… give me a break" Trey was now laying on the ground panting with his guardian spirit, Corey, over him being concerned.
"No no no, Trey! You have to be Shaman King! For the…"
"I know, for the Minusians. I want to save them as much as you do, sis, but come on, I'm only human" Trey sat upright to explain as patting Corey
"Erm… ok…" Pilika sighed "I get your point"
"Thanks sis, hey! I know!" Trey stood up with excitement "why don't we spend a week at our hometown? I'm sure Yoh and the gang would love it there!"
"What? At the north? Are you sure? They'll freeze to death, they're not used to the cold as much as we do" Pilika seemed unsure
"Nah, Yoh and the others are trained for that kind of weather! Anyway, how else would you spend a week of vacation?" Trey smiled with excitement
"I guess, ok, we can go" Pilika sighed
Trey jumped for joy, while dancing with Corey
That night while the gang were having dinner. Yoh, Anna, Trey, Pilika, Tammy, Morty, Rio, their guest- Lenny, and their guardian spirits were having a good time with some steak and veggies in care of Morty ofcourse.
"Hey guys, me and Pilika are going home for a week, I was thinking of taking you guys with us!" Trey announced
"Wow! Really?" Yoh got excited by the news
"That would be great!" Tammy smiled
"Sure! I'm in!" Rio nodded
"Hurray! A vacation!" Morty jumped
The guys, all except for Anna and Lenny, were so excited by the plan, they talked about the trip already.
"I'll bring the swimming trunks!" Morty said
"But it's in the north, Mort', you'll freeze to death" Yoh replied
"There are hot springs in there, bonehead" Trey piffed
"Who are you calling bonehead, treehead!" Yoh countered
"Treehead! You should call Lenny that!" Trey pointed to the calm, sitting Len, enjoying his bottle of milk
"What! Dare to call me a 'treehead' you overgrown-weedhead!" Lenny stood angry
The three boys were kicking and joking at each other while Pilika was explained to Morty, Rio, and Tammy about their hometown.
Amidamaru, Corey, and Bason, Lenney's guardian spirit, got big sweat drops at their heads.
"Ehem" Anna coughed intentionally
All of them silenced at once and looked at Anna with dotted eyes and sweat drops of fear.
"I guess you didn't bother to ask me about the whole think" Anna eyed them dangerously
"Come on, Anna! This will be great!" Yoh explained
"Yeah! Think about the fun we'll be having their!" Trey agreed
"Oh please, Miss Anna, can we go? Pilika said it's really peaceful and quiet up in the mountains" Tammy helped
"Yes, a relaxation would do us all good" Rio nodded coolly
The gang were trying to convice Anna so badly that it turned out to be a noisy riot.
"Ehem" went Anna again, and they silenced
She eyed each and everyone carefully, thinking it over. The gang gave Anna their best puppy-blue-eyes to hear Anna said 'yes'
"Hmmm…" Anna started
The gang leaned in more closely, hearts pounding like crazy, even their guardian spirits joined their masters.
"Well, ok" Anna sighed
It was their loudest noise yet, they screamed with joy and excitement. Yoh and Trey helped Lenny to dance with joy, the golden-eyed boy managed to be excited a little by the plan but covered it up with a punch to Trey who was pushing him with great joy.
"But…" Anna started again
Silence…
"In one condition…" she continued
Everyone nodded
"You'll do twice your regular chores and training once we get back" she explained
The plan of a getaway vacation was too much of a dream come true that even Anna's intense training seemed nothing. They continued their dance of joy, shouts of excitement and plans on what to bring…
The night ended late and everyone was ready to sleep. Lenny was invited to stay, he agreed eventually, once Yoh and Trey joked him around.
The guys went into the hot spring for a quick dip before going to bed.
Yoh, Morty, Trey, Rio, and Lenny quietly enjoyed the soothing warmth, so did their guardin spirits- Amidamaru, (Corey was upstairs sleeping ;) Tokageroh, and Bason joined them in the soothing dip.
The stars were quietly playing in the dark sky, silence was around them, they got the time to enjoy the well-earned relaxation. Different things were running in their head…
"Double cheeseburger…" Yoh said to himself
"Free from a load of school" Morty smiled silently as talking to himself
"No more chores for Anna, and I get to visit the Minusians" Trey whispered
Lenny was silent, even at his mind
"Vacation? I never had one in a long, long time" Amidamaru smirked
Tokageroh has actually fallen asleep in the tub, for he never had a hot spring bath before ;
"What's a vacation?" Bason looked puzzled
Everyone was sighing with happiness and satisfaction.
"It's a great place, you'll love it their" Trey said
Ok, so enjoyed the first chapter? Next up! The gang is ready for a vacation! Next chap! Hurry!
