Yes yes yes! see I CAN update something twice in the same week huzza!
Also last chapter I forgot to reply to D: of course I can;'t reply to reviews or my story will go poof. Ah well... we all know how weird that is XD
Christine had noticed that there weren't many people on the plane, just her and some group of people, they appeared to be tougher judging that they all seemed to wear uniforms.
Christine's mind had started to wonder when a man whom looked to be in his early 20s walked up to her. He had blaonde hair and wore glasses. "Kinda of late for such a young girl to be flying by herself."
"Humm?" Christine said as she
looked over at him
The man chuckled "How old are you?"
"ten." Christine answered, she had
always been a bit shy and deffintily not used to random men just
walking up to her and asking her stuff like this.
"So how long have you been a shaman?"
Christine's mouth nearly dropped "How
did you know?" she asked
"Let's see, ghosts, you know who Hao
is... not too hard to put 2 and 2 tougher after that."
"Oh." she said realizing how
obvious it must have been.
"So, what's a 10-year-old shaman girl
doing running around without parents or guardians? Surely she doesn't
think she can make a go of life on her own because she's a shaman."
"Maybe she had no other choice?"
Christine said
"Ok then... just why would she have
no other choice? Start from the beginning."
"Ok... My name is Christine Brittany
Weathers, umm, well when I was 5 I was told I was a shaman, when I
was 8 Hao Asakura killed my parents and I managed to escape until
about 6 months ago I lived with my aunt, then she was killed by my
other Uncle and Hao, I lived there until last night when I made a run
for it because they were planning to have me killed... and that's
pretty much it."
"What was all that about you being
able to read Hao's mind?"
"I umm, It-it's kinda hard to
explain, I-I don't really have control of it." that question made
her feel a but uncomfortable, she realized just how much he had heard
from what she and the ghosts had been talking about.
"Oh, think you could ever get control
of it?"
"Maybe, he, uhhh Hao said I couldn't
but I think he's wrong."
"I suppose it's only fair I introduce
myself" he said "I am Marco, an X-law, We X-laws are devoted to
justice and the Iron Maiden Jeanne, our leader. You, seem like the
right type to join our organization as one of our goals is to kill
Asakura Hao, I must say you would come in quite handy and you may
find us quite helpful."
Christine was reluctant to say yes
after all as little sense as she did have she knew a bit better than
taking suck an offer. "B-But you haven't seen how poor of a shaman
I am."
"You're young. All you need is
training and more power, we can help you with that."
"Umm, I don't know I-"
"Honestly, what do you expect to do
with yourself? Do you not know of the upcoming shaman fight? Of
course why else would you be headed to Japan all by yourself."
"Umm, uhh I haven't really thought of
what I was going to do when I got there I just figured I'd know when
I got there."
Christine was trying to think of any
reason to say no, luckily for her she got a break, sort of when a
voice said.
"Weathers? That's what they've
become... look just as weak as they act, maybe even more so."
"Who said that?" Christine asked
"As if you'd
care, I know your kind you're all as careless as you were then."
"What
the hell is your problem?" Koncho asked
"My
problem... MY PROBLEM, My problem is that I want revenge, revenge on
the Weathers."
"W-what'd
we ever do to you?" Christine asked
"When
your family split in to two sides the army it once had was left
unemployed, no jobs no money and no way to get them... some of us
were lucky others of us had to resort to theft, some of us, ended up
starving to death, or dying of sickness, same with our families. I
don't care weather you've anything to do with it or not, Weather's
blood runs through your vians and the only thing I need to get my
revenge and rest in peace is to spill the blood, all the blood of a
Weathers, guess who's lucky day it is.
A
ghost appeared, he was obliviously a ghost of a worrier and had
obviously died of striving and sickness.
Koncho
laughed "and just how are you going to kill her, she's a shaman,
even though she's not the greatest shaman there's still no way you
can kill her."
"Oh
really... what if I were to possess the pilot? Didn't you get the
point it really doesn't matter to me who dies as long as she dies
with them."
"No
one's dying today." Marco said as he zapped the spirit in to a
clear memorial tablet.
"Christine,
we need to find where to get those from." Koncho said with
amazement in his voice.
"Meene-san,
let's dispose of this properly." Marco said
"No wait you
can't!" Christine said
"Why not?"
"B-Becuse, he's
got a pretty good reason to be mad and, maybe I can make it up to him
so he won't have to kill anyone."
"Non-sense can
you not tell, all he wants is blood, the universe is better off
without him being in existence."
"Marco-san, please listen to the girl." a voice said, just then a very pretty girl stood up out of her seat, she didn't look much older than six she had silverish blue hair and red eyes all the x-laws seemed to pay more attention to her than anything, the plane could have crashed but they wouldn't have noticed.
"As you wish
Iron Maiden." Marco said. He handed Christine the memorial tablet
with the ghost inside. "Do what you wish with him." he said.
"T-Thank you."
Christine said she had no idea how to address the girl because it
seemed as if she was speaking to royalty.
"This, is our
leader, Iron Maiden Jeanne, now that you see her wisdom you know why
we choose such a leader, so will you join?" the only other female
x-law asked.
"I umm, thank
you for the offer but I think I'll have to pass." Christine said.
"Very well then,
maybe sometime in the feature we'll have the luck of crossing paths
again and you'll reconsider." Jeanne said. With that the x-laws
all got back in to their seats and didn't say anything else thou the
whole flight.
"S-So Ghost
what's you name?"
"You can call me
Drotoro"
the ghost said, he was not too happy as he was sill in the memorial
tablet.
"So
dose Christine saving your soul from total destruction even in just a
way pay you back?" Manny asked earning a 'why are you such an
idiot' look from Elizabeth.
"Not
one bit." the ghost answered.
After
a few hours of trying to get through to the ghost Christine fell
asleep. Soon the plane had landed. Christine figured she'd keep
trying to get through to him no matter how long it took.
After
nearly 3 months of trying Christine was finally able to gain his
trust.
Christine
had just turned 11 and she lived mostly in cheap apartments and hotel
rooms, she got an online tutor for schooling, and tried to develop
her shaman skill as much a possible, she knew the shaman fight was
coming, but she was training for another reason. Her goal was to one
day be able to reunite the Weathers family.
It
wasn't until she was 13 that she saw the Star that symbolized the
start of the shaman fight Rahu.
(a/n: ok now back to present time)
"And
so that's it. I want to make sure this shaman fight goes as smoothly
as possible, and since I can somewhat tell what Hao's thinking...
when he's really close, and I still don't have too good of control
over it... or even know if it's gotten better or worse, I still
think I can be of some use" Christine said.
"Humm,
what do you think Golva?" Silva said
"Seems
worth a try."
"you'll
need this oracle bell, it will take off suspicion and help us stay in
touch." Silva said as he handed Christine a blue oracle bell.
Christine had a really good feeling about this, it felt as if it were meant to be.
Pretty much, you'll see the x-laws asked Christine to join, mostly because if they thought it could benefit them the x-laws would have a bunch of ants join. I say this and I love thex-laws so yeah.
Ok now that I'm done with the flashback part (about time) updates might get faster, I was going to repost a chapter with Blake in it but after what happened with the computer I'll still end up retyping it.
Anyone who read this when I first posted it knows what's going to happen in the next chapter... it makes me happy.
and ... just why is this site doubble spacing all my scentces? ... ah well whatever.
