DarkTaoAngel: Must I keep saying this? Fine. sigh I don't own Shaman King, but I do own this story. Please enjoy this chappie, and expect more chappies soon!
Horohoro? Mei was shocked at the sound of the name that she had heard only once before. Usui? But, isn't he the one that they were sent to… No, it can't be… But yet, he looks just like they said that he would. She thought this over many times, then, coming to a conclusion, a sly smirk etched over her face, which she quickly concealed so as not to give the wrong impression to Horohoro. Mei chanced one more quick glance at Horo, checking to see if he was indeed the one she had heard of. He was.
"Huh? What's wrong Mei?" Horo said with the usual idiotic, spaced-out look on his face, as though he had absolutely no idea of what was going on, because he didn't.
"Nothing's wrong, I just though you were someone else, that's all.
"Oh, Well if that's all, than I have a few questions to ask you." Horo said. "First of all, where are we?"
"We are still in Tokyo, in a small district called Akishima, not far from where I found you." Mei replied softly.
"Okay, that makes sense. Wait, found me? Found me where? And what happened to Ren and the Spirit Hunter?" said Horo, hoping that she would give him the answers that he most wanted to hear.
"Just after you had fainted I found you. There were two others there, a boy, and a large monster of some sort. I noticed that the boy was putting up a good fight, so I took you and left him fighting. Luckily I found you when I did, because the attack that put you down was fierce enough to kill. I brought you back here, treated your wounds, and waited for you to wake." Mei finished the last sentence with a flourish, and waited for Horo to ask his next question.
It took a while for Horo to fully process what she had said, but when he did, it just filled his head with even more unanswered questions. He should have started the conversation with 'who are you' but he felt like he already knew her somehow. Horo knew he had to go find his friends and tell them that he was alright, and check to see how Ren was doing after that last Spirit Hunter battle. He tried to pull himself into a sitting position, but his muscles gave way quickly. It felt like the battle had been only a minute ago. After he had gotten comfortable once again, he finally found the right question to ask Mei.
"How long have I been here?" he thought that this was it on the questioning for the moment, because all of the other questions he wanted to ask seemed less important. He figured he couldn't have been down for more than a few days, (yeah the force of the attack was that bad) but he still wanted to know for sure how long.
"Three days, almost four. You can stay here for as long as you need, but I must go and make a phone call right now. Call me if you need me, I'll be just down the hall." And with that, Mei left the room, leaving Horo to himself to think things through.
DarkTaoAngel: Not that long, but it gets better! Check back later for the next chapter, 'Mei's Phone Call'. Is she good or is she evil? And how does she know Horo? The conclusion of this story is in the planning, and all up to me! Muahahahaha!
