A/N- Here's a nice long chapter for all you nice people.

And about Karuri's guardian ghost..she's a goddessandI thought it would be cool if she calledKaruri 'sama'.

Chapter 13

We sat and watched TV after Yolei. Nothing else happened. He didn't say a thing. We didn't sit very close together. I was kinda disappointed. The way he kissed me…I thought... I dunno. Maybe it was all fake. Just to help a friend out. He's had quite a few girlfriends in the past. What made me think he'd go for me? It was too depressing.

"Trey?"

"Huh?"

"Let's go."

"But Ren and Stimpy is starting!" he complained. I sighed.

Why exactly did I like him again?

"Trey? Please?"

"Ok." He gave in, "Where do you wanna go?"

"Anywhere but here. I dunno."

"Well when you think of somewhere let me know." He said then carried on watching TV.

I punched him in the gut and he doubled over in pain.

"Ah! What was that for!" he cried.

"You're such a jerk!" I shouted and left the room. I went out into the garden and sat on the decking overlooking my pond. Tears were filling my eyes.

What the hell was I crying for? And why did I get angry? He just wanted to watch TV.

I knew the answers already but I didn't want to think it was true. I've never thought of him that way.

"Karuri?"

I kept silent.

"I'm sorry if I…made you angry. But I think it's because you have something on your mind," Trey said and sat next to me. I drew my knees up to my chin.

I couldn't tell him! What would I say? 'Thing is I fancy you. You make my heart race baby!' I don't think so!

"It's…nothing." I settled on.

He put his arm round my shoulders.

"You said it was nothing when you liked Yoh but it wasn't. You can't fool me Karuri. Now are you gonna tell me what's really on your mind or am I gonna have to spend all day trying to read it?"

I sighed, "Trey I can't tell you."

"Why?"

"I just can't! I wish I could but I…just can't."

"Ok," he said stroking my hair, "Well tell me…when you can."

That evening Trey and I went over to Yoh's. Yoh was gonna teach me how to use Spirit Control. Anna, Tamera, Morty and Len were there.

"First," Yoh said, as we sat in the garden, "you have to choose a weapon."

I started looking around.

"Wait! I've got this wicked weapon at home. It was my dad's."

So I went home and came back with it. The Fuuma Shuriken. A giant metal blade spiked a t four points. It stood at 1.5m tall.

"Whoa. You keep THAT in your house?" Yoh said in awe, "its massive."

"I know," I beamed.

"Ok now first you concentrate."

I concentrated.

"Right," I said, "concentrate."

"Empty your mind."

"Empty…mind…"

"Get Callisto in Spirit Form."

"Callisto! Spirit Form!"

"Using your palm, transfer Callisto's spirit into the Fuuma Shuriken."

I felt Callisto's spirit from in my palm and I concentrated on transferring her spirit into the weapon.

I soon felt the shuriken feeling lighter as Callisto's spirit entered it.

I looked at it and saw it glow with my furiyoku.

"You've got…a lot of furiyoku. How come?" Yoh asked.

I shrugged.

Then Lyserg came.

"H-hi Lyserg," I said.

"Hey," he smiled and then I lost my spirit control.

"Aww you lost your concentration." Yoh said.

"Sorry. My fault." Lyserg said.

"Hey I needed a break anyway," I said taking his arm and going inside.

"Hey everybody," Yoh said when we went inside, "This is Karuri. Karuri this is…everybody."

"Real specific." I said sarcastically.

"I'm Len. Pleased to make your acquaintance," Lenny said and kissed the back of my hand.

"Uh…" I blushed. Wow! "Nice to…meet you too."

"Ooh Lenny likes Karuri!" Trey said.

"Shut up you! It's called manners!" Lenny shouted back to him.

I then went to sit down next to a girl with pink hair.

"Hey." I said.

"Hi. I'm Tamera."

"Cool." I said, then for some reason she blushed when Yoh came to sit next to us. Oh! I saw now.

"So what happened with you toady Karuri?" Yoh asked.

"Well-"

"I went to her house and I had to pretend to be her bf." Trey said.

"How come? Must have been terrible for her." Len said with a grin.

"She couldn't tell her sis she was hanging out with Yoh so she told her she was going out with me and her sis said to invite me over and then we had to convince her and we had to…uh…"

"No way!" Yoh said, realizing, "You had to do that to convince her sister?"

"Yeh she's tough to convince. Putting my arm round her wasn't enough." Trey said.

"So I guess you two are…um…"

"No!" I shouted.

"Ok ok!" Yoh said.

During that, the time went ticking by.

"OMG! It's 10:00 already!" I exclaimed, getting up.

"You're going?" Lyserg said.

"Yeh. I live across the road."

"Want me to…to walk you over?"

"Uh…"

"That won't be necessary," Len said, "I'll escort Karuri home."

"No way! I'm one of her best friends," Trey said, "I'll do it!"

"You're all acting like a bunch of children," Anna said.

"You know what? How about we all walk her over?" Yoh suggested.

So Yoh, Lyserg, Lenny and Trey walked me across the road.

"You all really didn't have all to come." I said, "I mean, it's just across the road."

"Oh it's just my charming generosity," Len said.

"Yeh right." Trey said, "the only generous thing you got is the point on your head."

"Come again!" Len said, turning to him angrily.

"You heard me! You couldn't be charming OR generous if your life depended on it cause you'd be too busy striking a cool pose!"

"Well neither could you ice-for-brains! All this coming from a guy who can't even program his own VCR!"

"Guys calm down." I said.

"Yeh. You should act like civilized gentlemen in front of a lady." Lyserg said.

Wow he like totally called me a 'lady'! Melt

"You're right," Len said, regaining his composure, "I won't stoop down to HIS level."

"MY level!" Trey shouted, "What's wrong with my level!"

Yoh laughed, "I think it's time to go. See ya!"

Then he turned, pushing Len and Trey still arguing in front of him of him.

"So are you coming tomorrow?" Lyserg asked.

"I can't," I replied opening my door, "My whole family is coming round tomorrow. Maybe on Sunday though. Are you gonna be there?"

"I will now."

Wow! He's gonna be there cause I'm there! How romantic…

I smiled, "Cool."

That night as I brushed my teeth, looking out of the window, I saw this HUGE star fly across the sky.

"The destiny star," Callisto said.

"What does that mean?" I asked.

""The Shaman Tournament has now begun."

A/N- So what do you guys think?
