"Yah yah right eh dude can you make a barrior to make sure wind doesnt penatrate this feald in perticular?" her spirit nodded. "Why didnt we invite her earlyer!" whined Horohoro.

end of flash back
The sun was beginning to rise from the beautiful ruins of Doby village. Anne's heart acked as she glare at her oracle bell for a long moment.
She slowly put her star pendant around her neck. She looked at the mirror, her face was pale, her eyes where red from crying the night before. Her hand gently went through her hair. "I cant do this" she bit her lip to prevent to cry once more.
Her room was slowly begining to turn yellow-orange as the ray's of the sun penetrated the window.
Anne took a deep breath and grabbed her clothes. She slipped her red pants on, her black sleeveless shirt and but on her white snickers. knock, knock She didnt turn her head to the door "Come in..."
Ashley peeked in "Hey, everything alright..."
Anne looked at Ashley's reflection in the mirror "Yah im fine... theres nothing wrong...realy..."
Ashley slowly crept inside the light orange room. "I know your lying, look you got to stop hiding your feelings and fake that eveythink is gonna be all right Anne. Its just not good for your health! And ive been your friend for more then a couple of weeks, dont you trust me by now?"
Anne stayed quiet, her eyes closed to prevent the tears from flowing.
She slowly faced her blond groth friend with purple high lights. Her hands were starting to shake.
"Your right..." Ashley walked toward her and invited her to sit on the bed. "Now tell me everything, all the thing you started hiding inside you when you first arrived to Doby village.
But if there are personnal things then thats okay, you can keep it inside, until you are ready." She made a friendly pat on the back.
" I never had friends until I came here to this place I didnt even know existed. Then I learned I was a shaman, I didnt even know how to deal with my powers, Yoh and Rio helped me understand how to learn the basics. The rest I had to make it my way... I though I was a freak..no offense Ash... but speaking to ghost? I only had apparitions in my chilhood, and I was scared half do death, I made myself believe, that it was all in my imagination, but now I know it was real spirits.
Soon after, Zeke came in my life, love at first sight...I guess you can call that, he made me see the Tome of shamans. Intense pain though out my body, I didnt tell anybody because now I thought I was a biger freak then before. Huh, exploring withought knowing what I was getting into.
The fight, oh yah, that. I almost killed someone with my bare hands...I though that Windy was posessing me, until I noticed it was my desire to destroy. Then...
Those X-Laws killed my friend, and I made people think I got over that only in a day, but I visited her tomb time to time. Everything was happening t me so quickly, pain, loss, love, lonelyness...I couldnt bare it, now the biggest opsticle hass arrived.
Facing Zeke Asakura, the man who is known to kill all his opponants who didnt have a chance against him. The worst is that I love him and I got to face..."
Ashley stood there quiet As a mouse, listening all the things Anne had to say. "Wow...uh...well you know, thats realy something I would never expect somethinkg like that..." stamered Ashley.
"'Course you wouldnt"thought Anne as she reached for her gloves.
"I better change th subject before everyone around her gets down..."thought Ashley as she got up to look outside the window. "Hey did you find the grain of rise? You must of because a whole week past after your traning with Mikihisa"
Anne burst out laughing "Heck no! I bet even the old man couldnt find that rice, its probably burried in the sand, but I heared Yoh and Len found there grain of rice." She rose up to join her friend close to the window. "Ah, fresh air, no pollution..."
"Maybe you should ask one of them?" Anne glared at Ashley with that weird idea "Nah, Len is too serious and power hungry, so he wouldnt let me with his secret. Including Yoh, he probably forgot it soon after he listened to his music..."Anne sighed.
"Want breakfest?" Ashley's watch started beeping showing it was 7:15 a.m. Anne nodded.
In Eli's room
Eli was on his bed with only a pair of pants on. He looked at his Yin and Yang necklace.
"Finally, we shall fight Amon and Shola, we havent had the change to show are new team mates our power, and now we finally have the chance to show them, against team Star..." his pendent started to glow blue and red. He smirked at the excitement that his spirits showed.
Eli slipped on his black shoes and his green lether jacket on. Also brushing his roan-red hair.
His stomach started to make a rumbling noice, a bigger smile lit his face "Well, looks like im hungry!" he said with a joyful tune.
He was walking down the halls of the café, his fingers feeling every bump of the ciment wall.
Whistling a joyful tune, happy to have his first battle, until his eye caugh something on the wall.
A portrait. He took a step closer, he saw every officer of the shaman council.
"Silva, Kalim...is that...No way..that is Mikihisa! Wow, he isnt what I expected...he should realy take off that mask of his...unless he has something to hide...I think Ill go see him" Eli started to dash his way out of the halls to catch up with Mikihisa.
He met out side with Anne and Ashley, they where eating both banana's with chocolate. But he didnt take the time to talk. "Huh, women and chocolate...why?" he started to ponder.
As Eli left there sight, Anne finished the halh of her banana. "He seems like he's in a hurry...I wonder what..." she thought. Ashley finished her banana and came up with an idea "Hey dude! Like ho'bout we go see if theres an arcade here!"
"M'well...Okay! Why not, we have the whole day to ourselves!" The two girls ran all around town, they forgot to bring change for the bus so they had to make some rest stop after some time.
1 hour later
"hof hof Dang! Where are the arcades! Silva told me that they had everything! hofhof"
whined Ashley as she was trying to get some air in her loungs.
Anne just nodded of agreement as she too tried to get air in her loungs. "Seriously I think we should get a bus and let them take care of the friggin change! If we go on like this, we wont have enought energy for the match, and my legs are starting to have some pains, and that ain't good!"
Ashley made sure her legs weren't like her friends, but them too started to become sore. "hof yah your right...theres a bench here...we can sit there for a while...and then we can go ba...hey theres Eli!" Ashley pointed to where the young man was, he was walking like he had a thousan pound on his back.
"Eli!" they both shouted. They started to run at him, Anne tripped a cuople of times, trying to get her balance to normal. "Hey..." he said half out of it.
"Dude, like where you been? You just ran past us like a long while ago,so whats up?"asked Ash rubbing her legs. Anne flinched "Dang! My legs feel like noodles!". Ash and Eli stared at her.
"What? Have you ever seen someone with weak legs?" she grined barely because of tiredness. In the corner or her eyes, she spotted someone with a poncho.She turned her head. But no one there she knew, only a man with a cowboy hat and a mexican pancho.
She sighed heavily. "Im becomming paranoïd... I just cant wait till this battle is over" She mumbled to her self as Eli was talking to Ashley about who he was looking. "So no luck huh Eli, looks like your curiosity was cut, anyway, should we train? You know before the battle between team Star?" Annes thought was cut as Ashley put her palm on her shoulder.
"I guess, but if we do, would we not be tired after? How 'bout tretching? We dont want to get...well, eh let me see...Ah yes thats the word! We dont want to pull a musle! Do we?" She straigtened her back so she wouldn't crouch.
They smiled at her. When Eli saw Ashley's smille, he stomach began to have 'butterflies'. "...thats weird.." he thought.
Later the day
"Hhhmmm...7:49 p.m were getting close to it, and the night has almost stole the light of day..." Thought Ashley in her gothic mood time. She was sitting in her room, admiring her purple hight lights in her sandy blond hair. "Maybe next time, ill shove fusia with a shadded green on the tips...Or maybe black and red..."Her lips curled and formed a smile.
She was alone, Eli and Anne where getting a shake at the café.
She looked under the bed and took her pack sac she dragged all the way from Canada, thanks to her familly who where rich, they already knew where Doby vilage was situated. So she didnt bring any thing to help her sustain the long trip.
"Where is it...there you are!" as her hand plunged down in the big black bag, her fingers caught a chain. As Ashley pulled it out, a purple cristal, lond like a rectangle but with pointy tips on each end appeared.
"My good luck charm, ill need you if I want to survive this fight..."
Outside of her room, she heared all the loud laughs of Yoh, Rio and Horo horo.
knockknock
"Yes? Come in!" Anne entered silently, not making any sound.
"You do know that we should get ready?"she said very nervously. Ashley just stood there, silence surrounded the room once again. Ashley noticed Eli's Hais in back of Anne.
"BROKE THE SILENCE!" he yelled. Ashley and Anne turned to him, "Eli you childish idiot!".
Eli backed away and bumbed the wall. The two women slowly walking towards him with there fist ready. "Aw common girls! You cant do this! The fight is in like...and hour. You dont want to have an injured comrade and lose do you?" he made an inresistable hot grin to hide his emotions.
The girls stoped before they can clober him. "Dang, he knows how to get to us!" Mumbled Anne angry. "What time is it Ash or Li?" Eli and Ashley looked at there watch. " 8: 09 pm" they both said at the same tone.
Her eyes widened. "What? Dude we got to hurry! Just to get there take a while and its dark! Arg! We got to go!" Anne started to panic. She was pacing back and forth, and back and forth for a while trying to figure a way to go faster to the stadium.
"Hey Anne, if you continue, you will make a hole on the ground." Eli put his hand on her shoulder. Ashley noticed the tour bus. "Thats it! We can go on the bus! Eli do you have money?"
Eli searched in his pockets and got out 10 doby dollars. Ashley yanked them out of his hands and dragged both of therm to the bus stop.
"Hey mister bus driver, we need to go to the stadium stat! We have an important match to go to!" she handed the 10 dollars. The man looked at her. "Oh realy! Well, there are people who want to see the village, so I cant do something just for 3 people." he said.
"Dont you understand? When I mean important, I MEAN IMPORTANT!" she practicly yelled.
"I told you miss, I cant do that!"
"You idiot! Our match is at 9 pm and now its 8:12 pm! We need to get there as fast as we can!"
He glared at her. By his facial expression, you could tell his patients was growing thin. "Young lady, what can be so important? Its just a battle, its not like your life depended on it!"
"That it! It does depend on this match!" she said loudly. The bus driver lookd at her right into her eyes.
"Very funny miss, not stop kidding aroung and get in, you'll have tyo wait like everyone else!"
Ashley tightened her fist. Eli tryied to calm her down but it didnt work. "You moron! Arg! We are against team Star, and if you havent noticed, thats ZEKE ASAKURAS team!" She yelled on the top of her loungs.
Everyone in the bus gasped. Even the bus driver. "Are you serious? Are you trying to get yourselves killed?" he said conscerened. Eli steped up. "No sir, but can you please bring us there as fast as you can? We dont want Zeke to win and become the shaman king, and I will do in all my power to try to stop him. Believe me." he glared at the bus driver.
The man fixed his hat and crunched the 10 dollars "...Fine, hop in..." He grabbed the microphone and spoke in "People, we will have to make a short delay, we have an emergency for se omeone special, and hold on tight its gonna be a bumpy ride!" he grinned. He let the 3 passengers in and he put the petal to the metal. The bus when zooming in streets and alley's big enought to fit the bus in. All the passengers held on for there lives on a seat or bar. Eli slimed lightly " Ha, I knew I would make him get us there!"
Anne and Ashley stared at him coldly "He only listened to you cause he's sexist!" they both mumbled. A half and hour later, after the bumby ride; They finally got to the stadium.
The teamates could hear the croud roaring with exitement. Anne slowly entered the stadium, and quickly spotted Yoh, Anna, Morty, Rio, Ren, Jun, Faust, Jacko, Horo horo, Tamao and even Yoh's grand parent.
Yoh a rose from his seat. "You can do it guys!" he yelled! Anne slightly smilled, her stomack twisting like a twisler. Flipping like a pancake and also going thru a roller coaste ride. She was so close to thow up. Anne placed her hands on her stomack.
"Ashley, I dont feel well" she groaned. Ashley made a friendly tap to her friend's shoulder.
"Dont worry Anne, everything will be fine..." she lightly smilled. In the back of the two girls, Eli was doing some stretches to proove hes ready. "Oh yah, finally my first battle in a team, I cant wait!" he thought as he stared a moment to Ashley. "She is pretty cute..." he whispered to himself.
Eli and Ashley started to walk at there stations, Anne slowly trailled behind them, trying not to puke. "Erg...I cant...Zeke...cough why me... Deap breaths...inhale, exhale x2"
Anne dare to look at the crowd around her once more. In the corner of her eye, she sported Zeke and two girls approaching. One with blue hair and one with orange hair.
Zeke saw Anne and smirked evily to her. "The plan is going even better then expected..." he thought as he too was getting to his station.
Silva appeard in the middle of the stadium. " uh hum! Everybody! Quiet down for a moment please!" he lift his arm up and dead silence roamed in the stadum after.
"Today, we have team Star and team Soulstar that shall be facing each other in a moment. But first, let me say the rul..." His phrase was cut by Zeke Asakuras interfearence. "Silva, before you continue, id like to make this more interesting..." he smirked.
Silva bit his lower lip, but he knew too well that shaman coucilers couldnt mingle in a bet between contesters. "Im listening" he slowly trailed off.
Zeke steped foreword a few steps, " Id like to make a wager with the leader of the group.."
Ane looked down, her heart pounding, of love, confusion, of fear and nervousity. She steped foreword in front of her teamates. She nodded her head to her team mates and slowly steped forword a couple of more steps.
"What do you want Zeke?" she said with a bit of agressivity, remembering that last time she made a bet she lost a life dear to her. And now knowing that Zeke aliminates all weak contestants... She knew what she had in comming. But she had a plan.
" If I win, you come in my team, sure you wont be ale to fight since you would loose, but I want you in my shaman kingdom, you are worth sparring you life even though you will loose to me" he was confident and determined, Anne could read it in his eyes.
" And if I win, you get out of you own team and come to mine. Including you will have to serce me and go with my dream of being Shaman Queen!"
Zeke flinched, he knew she had a little difference in the goals, but making him his servent, that was not like the Anne he knew. "Fine, but when I win, you will have to kiss my feet nd regret those words you was spat at me!"
"Fine, I will, but it doesnt mean It came from me, it was an order from you, but promiss me that you will not kill no one of this team!" she spat at him, trying to make her angry acting real. Wich was convincing cause the crowd was 'ooing' and 'aaaing' and even some 'waohhhh'.
Zeke smirked evily "Well, you just ruined the funnest part of this tournament challenge...but if you kill mine, it dosnt matter..." Kanna, Matilda and Anne flinched and all of them thought the same thing "He doesnt care if we/they get killed?".
"Ill spare there lives...now...are we done before i might get stuck beting of being your bed maiden?" she coldly stared at him. "You know, we should of kept the bets longer" he said simply as he started to ponder.
She tightened her fist and roughly tunred and walked towards her friends. Zeke smilled and slowly walked to his group. As the two finally reachthere teams, Silva continued by telling the rules of the shaman fight.
Silva lifs his left hand and pointed towards Anne's group. "Team Soulstar Vs..." he lift his right arm and pointed to Zeke. "Team Star, you may begin in 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, GO"
