- something you might want to know: when I put down the name, 'Toshihito Haru', 'Toshihito' is the first name. 'Haru' is the surname. just in case if anybody read it in the Japanese way. which would be 'Haru Toshihito'.

--hm...I haven't been on the Internet lately...but I think I remember a review asking whether this story is during, or after the entire Shaman Tournament. Well, this is after the Tournament, and all...I can't remember if I answered that review...

-disclaimer is on the1st chapter.

Moving In

Chapter 5

Anna, Tamao, Hao, and Yoh were at the Inn. Today, Anna decided to have a decent dinner, and had Tamao cook for them. In exchange, Yoh would have to do 3 hours in the 'electric chair'.

"Anna," Hao began, "since you're the head of this house, will it be alright with you that I join the Shinria soccer team?"

"You, what?!" Yoh coughed.

"Hm..." Anna thought for a while, "you know, that's not a bad idea...."

Anna's eyes glanced over at Yoh. Tamao, sitting across from Yoh, watched him plead at Anna.

"Please! Don't make me join a team too!!" Yoh begged, "I'm already doing the training!"

"Stop whining." Anna ordered, "Besides, you can join a team, they do make you train, and all. But that won't be enough to uphold your title as Shaman King. Also, you have to go to those stupid games. And if I ever go to a game, and you slack off...."

Anna glared at Yoh.

"You know what, Yoh?" Anna slyly said, "we'll go to Hao's first game, and see how it is."

-------------next day---------------

When Tamao, Anna, and Yoh entered class, they noticed how there was a bunch of girls crowding a window.

"Oh, look!" one squealed, all the girls giggled.

"Hmph, they're so girlie." Anna said.

Tamao looked over at the crowd of girls, but didn't entirely see what she meant. Yoh was already at his desk, sleeping. As Anna went to her seat, she kicked the chair from under Yoh. Yoh still was asleep...but continuing the 'electric chair' he did not finish the other day.

"Looks like the training is paying off." Anna said with a hint of satisfaction.

Tamao, having a window seat, looked out to see what the girls were giggling at. But at her angle, she couldn't see anything other than the girls' backs.

"Um, Anna? I know I really shouldn't be asking this, but, what are they doing?" Tamao meant the girls at the window.

"Haru is talking with Hao, that's all. Haru tends to be chased after, much like Hao right now. It's disgusting." Anna said, "And besides, it's okay to ask. We're friends, as you say so yourself."

Tamao sat down at her desk, a bit embarrassed that Anna read her mind. But then, if Anna ever bothered to bring up their friendship, it must've meant something to Anna.

" Let's review for the test tomorrow.... In the year the general of was defeated by ." the history teacher commenced.

Yoh ducked, and hide behind the person infront of him so that the teacher wouldn't catch him sleeping. It was quite easy to do without a chair. Tamao looked at Anna, who was starring straight ahead, paying attention. Tamao looked over at Hao, sitting across the room, acted much like Anna.

I like history class but this is just a review...I hope this ends... Tamao looked out the window...It's just some days I don't really want to go to school...But I don't want to skip.

"Tamao," Anna whispered.

History teacher spoke to Tamao again, "In what year did invade ?"

"!" Tamao responded quickly.

"It's good to know that you know your history, but please pay attention."

To much relief of Tamao, the teacher walked back to the front of the class.

--haha, another something for the people who know too much about Shaman King: Is Sensei's name supposed to be Kino? Every time I hear 'sensei' I think of an elderly man...
