Apologies for any
spelling/grammar mistakes, I finished this chapter a while back but
I've just now got around to posting it.
But yeah I really
need to step-it-up a bit with this fanfiction.
I think I'm going
to enjoy typing the next few chapters a lot.
Do know, I do NOT plan to ruin Christine as an OC and pair her up with Hao, that was mess up the whole point of the story, he killed her family she;s scared of him I don't see anyone falling in love with anyone in a situation like this, PLEASE you may want to read the story more carefully, espicially this chapter for a POSSIBLE love intrest.
and just why in god's name is this site reformatting EVERYTHING after I upload it...
"We know what you've been up to, giving away information to Hao didn't think we would catch you did you?"
"Really Marco, I didn't, I mean I would never give information to Hao."
"B-Blake how... how could you betray us like this, you... you were always like a younger brother to me."
"Come one Meene, you have to believe me."
"We took you in when you had nowhere else to go, trained you, gave you power, and this is how you repay us."
"It's not how you think Porf!"
"How else is he supposed to think, we saw enough evidence so why to you keep liying, this gig is up."
"things aren't always how they seem Cebin."
"Just get out of our sight."
"D-Denbat!"
"yeah scram!"
"Larch come on... Iron Maiden-sama you believe me right?"
"Blake why? Get your spirit and get out of my sight, you are no X-law."
"YOU HERD HER! Get out of here before we deiced you kill you!"
"I'll always be an x-law..."
Christine could barely hold in her excitement she had so much energy she decided to walk back to the hotel. "And after the shaman fight, someday I'll meet Mr. Right and we'll buy a big house, maybe in America or here or Maybe Canada.""Gee, Christine, umm what about a job?" Koncho asked
"Yeah that money won't last forever." Manny said
"My husband will work, then after a long day he'll cook a huge dinner, and after dinner I'll offer to do the dishes but he will instead." Christine said gleefully.
"Wow, seems like you'd rather have a servant than husband." Drotoro said sarcastically Christine however didn't notice this, as she was off in la-la land, she wouldn't be for very long though. She stooped spinning and skipping all the sudden "What's wrong Christine?" Elizabeth asked.
"My head hurts... probably head rush from moving so much." she answered.
"Yeah, slow down and stop acting like your on a happy pill." Drotoro smirked.
"What if, this is going to be like some crazy soap opera where you think, there's no real problem but then all the sudden it's HAO!" Manny said
"That's not cool Manny..." Koncho said
"Your mom's not cool." Manny smirked
Christine
paused, where as normally she tried to keep the two from going at
each other. The ghosts quickly noticed this and stopped the argument
before it even had started.
"Christine?"
Elizabeth said
Christine
only said "He's in the Northern... NO Southern end of the park, he
knows we're here."
"Christine,
you're scaring me." Koncho said
"WE
SWEAR WE'LL NEVER FIGHT AGAIN!" Manny and Koncho chorused
"Why
Christine, fancy meeting you here." a voice said from behind
Christine
"You,
you were in the Northern part of the park?" Christine asked
Hao
chuckled "Well, your 'gift' as you may call it gives me an
advantage, I can make you think I'm thinking one thing but still be
thinking another."
Christine
blinked Hao chuckled yet again and said "I knew you were around and
wanted to see if you had gotten any stronger, or at least could be
good entertainment."
"Bastard."
Drotoro said
"Watch
your tongue ghost!" Hao said
"L-let's
go we, we don't have the time for this." Christine stuttered a bit making her
fear of Hao obvious
"So
let's see that oversoul... seeing as you've been training yourself I
figure it won't be much."
"M-Maybe
I don't feel like engaging an oversoul right now." Christine said
trying to avoid a battle
"Too
bad, I do" said Hao before quickly oversouling and sending a shot
of fire so close to Christine she could feel the heat for a second.
"It wouldn't be the best idea to not oversoul now would it?" Hao
asked
Christine's hand started to shake, she knew if she did oversoul Hao wouldn't hold back but as long as she didn't oversoul he might become frustrated and still she could end up in trouble, but she really didn't want to go down just standing there. With a sigh she oversouled Elizabeth in to the only thing that was readily available her cloak.
"That's the spirit!" Hao said "I'll start off easy on you, though we all know even that's enough to do you in." he sent a small blast towards her, she could do no better than dodge it seeing as the cloak was unfamiliar she had no idea what she could possibly do with it and no chance to test it. Another blast and another blast Christine was paralyzed with fear she couldn't hold it back anymore she just had to scream, right after she was hit by one of the blasts. Laid out on the ground she heard Hao chuckle and say "Now to finish you off, this was far too easy." She was in far too much pain to scream again nor did she have the energy. "Hey Hao, I can make you a deal for the girl's life." a voice said, Christine tried to not to blackout, but between Hao about to kill her and some random person wanting to make a deal for her, her not knowing who they were or what their intentions were, and the pain she was having from the blast she blacked out.
Christine woke up feeling dizzy, she noticed it was very close to dark. Just how long had she been out? She slowly sat up she still had some pain but she was thinking most of it must have been from where she had hit the ground.
"Christine, glad you're back." Koncho said he seemed happier than he should, even though his shaman had nearly died but survived.
"Looks like someone finally decided she'd wake up." said the same voice from earlier, Christine looked over. He didn't look much older than her, she noticed he was wearing an x-laws uniform, she remember when she had first saw the x-laws, she had to admit to herself she was still worried about the newcomer in spite of her ghosts not seeming worried at all. He had quite possibly the most messy brown hair she had even seen, almost reminded her of a bum's hair.
"Eh?" was the only word she could manage to get out.
The boy laughed "Heh, I have to speechless effect on people I suppose. So I guess I'll introduce myself first. Name's Blake Onterrie, x-law... I mean, f-former... x-law, your ghosts told me your name but I'd like to hear something from the girl that owes her life to be besides 'eh'."
Christine felt her face get warm "uhh... Christine Weathers..."
Koncho seems to have been trying to hold back laughter for a while... he just couldn't hold it anymore "Christine, I've never seen you so confused before.
"C-Can someone just tell me what's going on already? Christine asked.
Blake laughed "Well, it all kinda started when I was just forced to leave the x-laws, I was walking and I hear your extremity loud screams, talk about trying to raise the dead. Of course I was never taught to ignore screams, so I went looking for where the screams came form and came across and Hao duking it out. Of course I knew you'd be dead if I didn't do anything so, I said I'd make a deal with him... and I told Hao the x-laws were in Canada."
Christine sighed "so maybe is doing stuff like that the reason why you were kicked off the x-laws?"
"No, they only said I was leaking information, it was all Marco's doing... I still don't know why he would say something like that, seems to me he'd want more team members not less. The x-laws really didn't go to Canada but it was enough to get Hao busy for a while, speaking of which we shouldn't stick around I'm pretty sure he's not to slow to figure stuff out."
Koncho was still smiling like an idiot, "So... why don't you tell her already?" Drotoro asked almost annoyed sounding.
"Christine, I'd like you to meet, Skya." Koncho smiled sheepishly as a White wolf floated next to him. "She's Blake's ghost, I knew her when she was alive, when I saw her I remembered everything about my past, so now I know I'm a wolf."
"Well, why don't you two love birds tell her on the way." Blake said
"On the way to where?" Christine asked
"Well, wherever it is you live, might as well walk you back, figure it'll be easier for you to stay out of trouble that way." Blake's joke was almost offending, probably should have been offending but the way Christine saw it, it was a bit true. "Don't tell me you can't walk either." he laughed, Christine stood up "My walking is just f-fine I was only a bit shook up... that's all" she said.
"Well about 500 years ago, Skya and I both got lost from our packs and ended up meeting each other, since we both were puppies we relied on each other, just like a pack I suppose."
"Then one day Koncho got really sick, I'm thinking it was the black death. I said I wouldn't leave him and I didn't, even after he died. About a day after his death a group of travelers crossed my path, they all seemed friendly, I was fed and pampered for the night. The next morning when it came time for them to move on they wanted to take me with them, and I still wouldn't leave Koncho, they tried pulling me away and instinct got the best of me, I attacked. What I supposed was the one in command, he said I'd be worthless not going with them, and since I wouldn't leave I'd just rot, and that he should put me out of my misery so to say. Turns out that guy was Hao Asakura... and he so to say... put me out."
"Koncho's memory loss was because of inexperience, since he said you were what eight? Obviously you didn't really know what you were doing when you summoned him, even though it was more than likely unintentionally." Blake said
"Since that's where I died and because of my death and all that I had been through I became a fixated ghost, well one day a car came travailing down the road near by... and my ghost was still protective of the dust left of Koncho's body, that I attacked the car... and just so happened 10-year-old Blake and his parents were inside the car. Well the wreck was bad, and they didn't make it, Blake did. I realized what I had done quickly after it happened, I felt so bad about it all I joined Blake, I figured maybe if I could help him win the shaman fight I could make up for it just a small bit."
"But why did you join the x-laws?" Christine asked Skya
"Training at first, we had to face facts he wouldn't ever become a dignified shaman if he has just spent years living in half-way houses without any shaman who knew what they were doing."
"At first it was only for that reason, but soon after I really liked their idea of justice and peace, I wanted to do something more than win the shaman fight." Blake said
"He was completely loyal to the x-laws, but we're not sure why Marco told Iron-Maiden-sama that Blake was leaking information and they couldn't take any risks, so he was ejected."
"So I guess now, I'm just going to be in the fight by myself, maybe if I become shaman king I can still do what the x-laws wanted and prove myself to them." Blake said "But, enough about me, so what about you still don't know much about you besides what your ghosts tell me and you're much too quiet for your own good."
So Christine told Blake a good bit about herself, by the time the two got to the hotel it was night.
"So until our paths cross again Christine?" Blake asked
"Yeah I-I suppose so, so what do you plan to do now that you're not with the x-laws? After all you said you were broke because your parents had no insurance when they died."
"Well really wouldn't help if I made any money, it would all be going to final expenses, so I suppose I'll get a small job somewhere working for room and food and what-not, least until the fight picks up. But I suppose I'll make it out there somehow, Porf used to say I had dumb-luck, and I guess that's true."
"Well if you want you could stay in my hotel room for a while, it'll be a while before the owner notices I'm sneaking an extra person in and kicks me out, but I don't really care, I'm thinking I'd rather have a condo, or maybe a mansion, yeah that's the way to go." Christine said
"Oh, so don't tell me I was just invited to my first hotel room with a girl." Blake said in a sly way.
"... eh... n-no I m-meant I kinda you know owed you f-for saving me so I c-could give you a place to stay for a short while, I didn't mean anything like-" Christine was cut off by Blake laughing
"I was only joking about that, do I seriously come off as that much of a perv'?"
This 'short while' turned out to be a long time, or so the two would find out.
