Well I had a review about the weirdness of the last chappie so for those who don't understand here is a simple rundown of what happened
The last chapter was set at the very beginning of time. It told the story of how Ellena knew the Spirit of Fire from long ago he used to be called Aki but was corrupted by power and killed their two friends when they refused to join him. Each one of the four had power over the four elements in order to protect the earth. Ellena had just become pregnant with Aki's baby and when she realised that he had basically become evil she did an extremely selfless thing to preserve the future of the earth and she released all her power in one blast killing Aki, herself and of course her unborn child. The process of her releasing her energy so fast randomly turned her eyes completely black and that's why they are like that now.
A/N: Although I said Tohru was a teenager I never actually mentioned her age. Tohru had her Seventeenth birthday and Hao/ yoh etc are bit older than in the series. Hao and Yoh are 17going on 18.
Disclaimer: I do not own Shaman King. If I had a lot of money then I would probably own lots of anime but I am almost completely broke so no luck there.
Tohru sat on the ledge draping her legs over the edge. It was a dangerous position to relax in as the cliff extended more than a hundred feet below her coming to a halt at the base of a dry river canyon that trailed off to the north, dividing the region in two.
She smiled drowsily and lifted her head upwards closing her eyes and basking in the morning sunlight. Ellena had wandered off again so Tohru had to wait for her to return. She lay back on the dusty ground, her feet still dangling over the edge and began to hum softly to herself. Her clothing had become tattered as it was all she had to wear. She had a dark blue skirt that reached to just below her knee. It was made of a material similar to veil material, it was extremely light almost as if it could float. It was embroidered around the bottom with cherry blossoms a pattern that Rosetta, Tohru's mother had stitched herself. She wore a loose white shirt made of an thick material The sleeves were too long and so Tohru had them rolled up just above her elbows. The only other piece of clothing she had was a Black Trench coat one of her friends had given her a year go. This too was embroidered around the cuffs and the collar with pastel pink cherry blossoms. Tohru's shoes were chunky hiking boots, battered and worn from all the walking.
All in all Tohru's outfit was a mismatch. After she had found her family and gathered together a few belongings she had changed out of the clothes she was wearing and put on what she wore now. She had packed other clothes but they were stolen within the first few days of her journey leaving her with nothing but clean underwear to change into. Luckily she had hidden her more precious belongings (all the mementos in her backpack) so those hadn't been taken.
Tohru tugged at her shirt to straighten it out. She shirt was now worn and had numerous holes in it. It was the same with the skirt. The hundreds of miles she had walked in the last month had been accompanied by trips, falls and numerous run ins with Shamans. Her skin strangely, had remained pale even though she had been trekking under the sun. Although she had acquired a healthy glow there was no tan no burns. She imagined it had something to do with the fact that she was pretty well covered with the clothes she was wearing.
"Why oh why didn't I pack more clothes or more money to buy clothes. Do I have to suffer any more? Knowing my luck that weird guy is going to appear again and start blabbing on about having use for me."
Tohru began talking quietly to herself as she lay there.
"Blah, blah, blah... I wonder what use he could have for me"
Tohru raised her eyebrows but kept her eyes closed as a thought popped into her head. "Maybe he wants me for sex!"
Tohru's blood began to boil,
"If he tries anything funny I'll...I'll... Well I don't know what I'd do but it would not be pretty."
She smiled at the thought of putting him in his place.
"He was quite cute though., but arrogant." Tohru said to herself, "Maybe arrogant is O.K. He was very cute. But if he tries anything funny that won't stop me from causing him damage. Hmmmm...very cute"
"Cute you say, well I would prefer something less fuzzy when referring to my appearance but it was a compliment nonetheless."
Tohru shot up to find Hao sitting beside her resting back on his elbows with a VERY smug look on his face. The blood rushed to her cheeks and she felt herself blushing. She turned a way from him to hide it.
"H-how long were you sitting there, y-you have no right to sneak up on me like that." Her voice quavered and tears stung her eyes from the sheer embarrassment.
"Long enough, you shouldn't cry like that. I thought you were a strong Shaman stop blubbering like a baby and look at me."
He grabbed her shoulder roughly and twisted her round to face him. Tohru had buried her face in her hands to try and hide her reddened face. She growled as he twisted her round and looked straight at him. A tear rolled silently down her cheek.
"You cry a lot don't you" Hao stated.
"How would you know?" hissed Tohru through gritted teeth
"I've been watching you"
Tohru stood and walked away from him she couldn't take any more. If he had been watching her then maybe he had watched her bathing, or changing she thought. It was more embarrassment than she could stand.
"Hey, you can't go anywhere" Hao called out calmly to her.
"AND WHY NOT?" she shouted back.
"Because you have to wait for that guardian Ghost of yours to return."
"Oh yeah" she mumbled. She turned around to head back to where she had been sitting.
"You know you're about to be attacked and you have no way to defend yourself" Hao stated.
Tohru's breath caught in her throat and her eyes darted around the canyon as she tried to see what Hao was referring too. She couldn't see anything but she knew deep down that he wasn't lying. There had to be someone there.
"I can protect you. Just say the word" Hao looked at her smiling, he already knew what the answer would be.
"I don't need your help, I can protect myself" Tohru said viciously as she removed her chain from around her waist.
"Without your guardian ghost what use is that? Remember, just say the word and I can jump to you rescue"
"I'll find a way to protect myself. I don't need your help."
Everything around was silent Tohru knew what was coming. She heard the sound of rushing air behind her and whirled around, crouching at the same time. An arrow surrounded by a purple flame rushed past her left ear. She jumped up and dived for cover buy a nearby rock but stopped dead as the rock was shattered by another arrow.
"GIVE IT UP WOMAN. MAKURA TOMA WANTS YOUR FURIYOKU. SURRENDER NOW." A booming voice echoed against the rocks.
Oh god. Toma . Thought Tohru where is Ellena. How can she abandon me at a time like this.
"WONDERING WHERE YOUR GUARDIAN GHOST IS? WE' VE BEEN BUSY YOU KNOW. BOSS GAVE US A WONDERFUL LITTLE DEVICE THAT KEEPS YOUR PRECIOUS ELLENA IN CHECK. WANT TO SAY HELLO?"
"TOHRU RUUUN! SAVE YOURSELF. GET TO DOBI VILLAGE." Ellenas screams echoed around her.
"WHERE ARE YOU, ELLENA, I AM NOT LEAVING YOU. WHERE ARE YOU, YOU BASTARDS" the last word that escaped her mouth shocked her into silence, Tohru hardly ever swore.
There was the sound of rushing air again but Tohru didn't turn around in time. The arrow made contact with her shoulder, piercing through her skin easily and driving through her shoulder blade. Tohru dropped to the ground as it came to a stop. The arrow had passed through all her body and was now sticking out on both sides of her shoulder. The blood began to poor out of the wound. The shirt she was wearing quickly soaked up the red liquid becoming sodden. She screamed out in pain and clutched her shoulder, her eyes squeezed shut. The men knew she would be of no further threat and waited for her to die Ellena struggled to get free, crying out to Tohru as she did. Tohru lay down on the ground and clawed at the dirt, groaning as the pain engulfed her body. She grew weaker as the blood spilled out of her forming a pool on the ground underneath her. Her head began to spin and her vision blurred. She thought she saw someone standing over her. This is the end she thought as her whole body became limp and everything went black.
I would like some reviews, I like reviews. Reviews are good. They encourage me to write more chapters instead of doing important exam revision.
