Chapter 10- My Guardian Ghost

Yoh and I waited till 8 when the moon came out and the ghosts appeared. We found a lady sitting on a tombstone staring into the moon. She was dressed in Roman clothing and was very beautiful with long blonde hair and beautiful green eyes.

"Hey Callisto." Yoh called.

Callisto turned her head to him and nodded in greeting.

"This is my friend Karuri. She's looking for a guardian ghost. I think you two would be good partners."

"I can't help you there," Callisto said still dreamily staring at the moon, "I have a mission I still have to fulfill and I'm not going anywhere till I accomplish it."

"What mission is that?" I asked, then quickly added, "If you don't mind me asking."

"I'm seeking…revenge. On a certain shaman named Hao."

"Hao huh." I said, "Well I'm sure if we team up-"

"It would slow me down."

"But it would make you stronger and more able to defeat this Hao guy." Yoh said.

"You know what?" Callisto said, looking at him, "You're right."

Then she jumped off the tombstone and held her hand out to me.

"You've got yourself a guardian ghost."

I smiled and took her hand. And from then on, I was a shaman. Well, almost.

I went to Yoh's house after school, on the pretence of another date with Trey, for Yoh to show me how to perform Spirit Unity.

"Ok so I have to be calm…" I repeated just as Yoh had said.

"Yes…" he said.

"My mind must be clear…"

"Yes…"

"And I should always remember to…uh…"

Yoh sighed, "Work with your spirit."

"Ah. Right. Yes. Ok." So I closed my eyes and I felt Callisto's presence near me. I felt a shiver just as when Tokageroh took over my body. But then I felt a piercing pain in my chest and I dropped to my knees, clutching my heart. Yoh knelt beside me.

"Why isn't this working!" I breathed impatiently, slamming my fist on the ground. We had tried this so many times!

"I…don't know," he said honestly, "Maybe there's not enough connection between you or something."

Then my mobile rang. It was in my bag by the wooden decking and I ran to get it. It was Yolei.

"Hey," I said.

"Hi. How's your date going?"

"Oh it's…fine." I said glancing at Yoh.

She squeaked a little, "Oh you two would look so cute together."

"Uh…yeh."

"But anyway after your date can you go to the store to pick up a few things."

"Yeh. Sure."

"Ok what I need are eggs, a carton of milk and a bag of sugar."

"Right ok."

"Ok have a nice time! Bye!"

"Yeh. See ya."

I hung up.

"Who was that?" Yoh asked.

"My sis. I got to go to the store." I took up my bag and got ready to leave.

"Ok. Remember to keep practicing!" Yoh said as I headed for the gates.

I legged it down our street in case for some reason Yolei was home looking out of the window. She would be gone later tonight anyway.

So I made my way to the shop and as I was going in, this muscly guy was coming out and he barged into me.

"Hey!" I called out.

He turned around menacingly, "What!"

"Uh…"

He approached me and grabbed me by the neck and held me against the wall.

"You gonna do something about it?"

A/N- Sorry this Chapter is so short! I was in a rush!
