Hiya peeps! Here's the first part! And another thing: I don't own Shaman King. I only own Draikiel and Aridas. If I make anyone here OOC, I apologize.

Same Ground Ch.1: Who is this person?

ooooooooooooooooooooooooo

(Yoh's pov) I quickly put my clothes on. I reread the note that was taped to the door.

To Yoh Asakura and Anna Kyoyama:

Please come to Funbari Hill ALONE. No guardian ghosts, no midget friends, no shaman friends, NO ONE EXCEPT YOURSELVES. If you should break this vow Yoh you will suffer a terrible fate.

Whoever this person was he knew every thing about me. he knew I was a shaman, he knew about Morty, everything. I walked downstairs to get something to eat. It was then that Horohoro started a conversation. "So are you and Anna going?" Horohoro asked. "Of course we're -" I began. "Of course we're not going." I turned around to see Anna. She sat down. "Whoever sent this might be writing tough but in the end, he may be a weakling." She said firmly. "But Anna, we won't know until we find out…" I said. "No, we're not going. You still have to run 50 times around the place." She said. "But…" I continued. "if you say another word, I'll double that run." She (how should I say this in a "mannerly" way…) blackmailed. No one could've answered back. I quickly finished what I ate, put the weights on and started running.

(normal pov) while Yoh ran around the village, the boy named Draikiel watched him from a high place. Soon later, the ghost named Aridas appeared beside him. Is that this one's successor, Draikus-dono? Aridas asked. "Yes, Aridas, that is he." Draikel answered politely. It seems that they ignored the note we sent them. Aridas noted. "I know. It seems the itako thinks I'm a weakling." You? A weakling? It feels like she is saying your training was a waste of years. Aridas said quite angered. "There's no need to get mad, Aridas. We will pay back the debt soon enough." Draikiel said unsheathing his sword.

From where Yoh was he felt a chill running up his spine. Someone I know's in trouble. He thought. "Yoh!" someone from afar called. Yoh turned around and saw Morty. He was running to him. Yoh stopped running so he could catch up. When he finally caught up he was panting. "Yoh…the Funbari Onsen…" he said between pants. Then Amidamaru popped up which, obviously, didn't make Morty feel any better. "Yoh, the Funbari Onsen is under attack!" he shouted. Yoh quickly ran back and to help but it was too late. The Onsen looked like a tornado hit it. When he entered the destroyed house there were claw marks in sets of four all around the place. When he looked to his left, Horohoro, Len and Anna were lying there on the floor unconscious. Beside Anna was yet another note. Yoh picked it up and read it. It said:

"Now you know how strong I am. I will give you and your precious fiancée one more chance to see me. If you should ignore this again I will see to it that you will never become Shaman King."

When Yoh finished reading it about three times, Anna regained consciousness. "Anna! You're alright!" Yoh said. "Of course I'm alright. It seems I was wrong about the one who sent the note." She answered firmly. "Did you happen to get a glimpse of whoever did this?" Yoh asked. "Yeah, I took a good look. Apparently, it wasn't a boy or a girl. It was a wolf." She said.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Author's notes: like I said first, if the characters are OOC I apologize. However, If I get any reviews saying that the characters are OOC, I will ignore them. R & R peeps!
