Summery: The shaman gang is off to Hong Kong to participate in one of the greatest reality shows ever, Survivor! Its girls vs. boys, and things really start heating up when the two teams combine! Rated T.
"… A new season of Survivor, beginning in February. Sign up now by sending in a video tape by the 17th, and a letter will be sent out to each and every person who makes it. This years Survivor will be taking place in Hong Kong, China, home of the…" an announcer's voice blared out of the Asakura television set, telling of the new season. In the room at the time, present because of either living there, or being forced to go there for training purposes, to be better prepared for the new round of the Shaman Tournament, was Yoh, Hao, Anna, Ren, Horo, Chocolove, Tamara, Pirika, Faust, Lyzerg, Rio, and Manta.
"Hey, you see that, everyone? Let's join! It'll be fun! So who's with me?" Yoh shouted out to no one in particular, getting a few awkward glances and some excited muttering. A few people seemed to think that Anna would never let them go, and so there was some arguing on that issue as well.
"Alright, you can all go. In fact, all of you HAVE to go, under my orders. It will help increase your training, and I'll even come along to see to it that you all train!" Anna's voice rose above all of the talking that was going on around her. There were a few people who objected, but in the end, they all decided to sign up, whether it have been of their own free will, or because of the giant, red marks on the sides of their faces when they left.
As it turned out, even the girls all joined, and out of it all, some of the oddest tapes ever were sent in. they even had to convince Hao not send in a video tape of himself, nude. All in all, the tapes either consisted of oranges, swearing, stupid jokes, or threats to let them in, or else. A week later, everyone got a letter in the mail, letting them know that they had all made it. The only one who did not make it was Chocolove, who was not let in because of the crude joke he had sent in, something involving a watermelon and a sprinkler system.
They each got letters, informing them that they were to take a pre-paid plane to Hong Kong, and they could only bring one item of personal need. They would have to find their own food, and they would be divided into two teams. They would be allowed to name the teams when they got there, based on the people in the group.
"There is no way I am going to Hong Kong just to participate in some stupid game show!" Ren hollered at the top of his lungs the morning they were supposed to get ready and drive down to the Tokyo airport.
"But you signed up; you sent in a video. And besides, Hong Kong is in China, and you know everything about China. You should be great at this sort of thing." Yoh tried to coax him into coming along, but they ended up having a very heated argument about the whole thing.
"I DID NOT SIGN UP FOR IT! You two," he pointed accusingly to both Yoh and Hao, "tied me to a chair and video taped me! I had no choice in the matter, and as for it being in China, do you honestly think that, since I now live in Japan, I really want to go back to China? You can not force me to go anywhere I do not want to go, especially not China!" Ren's tongari grew about two feet in less than one minute because of his anger. He really had anger management problems.
"I can make you come, you know." Horo said as he lifted Ren off of the couch he was sitting on and hoisted him up over his shoulder. He was no problem at first, he was light, and his punches on Horo's back did not hurt too badly; but when Ren started kicking him, Horo had to put him back down.
"Ouch! What'd you do that for!" Horo yelled to Ren, his face flustered as Ren showed no sign of caring; in fact, he looked rather pleased with himself.
In the end, Hao had the idea to invite Ren's sister, Jun, over and, somehow, after locking the two in Ren's room for an hour, she managed to get him to pack his suitcase. He came down the stairs, a huge suitcase in his hands, and Jun flat-out refused to tell how she had gotten her younger brother to pack.
After quite a while of shouting and name calling, finally they all got into the cramped, red Honda, though no one would admit to being the owner of it, and sped down the road to Tokyo.
When they got to the airport, they were each asked to step through a device that told whether they had any weapons on them anywhere. Almost everyone got off free, having no metal items on them, but a few did have some.
Faust almost did not go on the plane when he found out that a skeleton in chains was counted as dangerous and insane. But after a long talk from the skeleton, who happened to have been his wife, he finally boarded the plane without her.
Yoh was let on the plane safely, though he was marked 'slightly insane' for having oranges in his suitcase as his personal item to bring.
Hao had brought hair care items, such as ten or so bottles of shampoo, though he was counted as normal, not in the slightest bit out of it.
Ren, on the other hand, was kicked off the plane for having in his possession a knife, his Kwan-Dao, a gun, and several large sewing needles to do who knows what with. Yoh had to speak to the police and get Ren's items confiscated before Ren was allowed to finally get onto the plane, and on his passport he was marked 'insane for attempting to murder a flight attendant with a series of pointy objects'. Some of those objects included a needle that had been concealed in his coat pocket, and his pointy hair, which had to be smoothed down with water before he was able to enter the plane.
The others had brought pretty normal items, all of which were entered safely onto the plane's cargo hold. The men in charge seemed to find the girls very well mannered, and they took such a great liking to them that all of the girls were allowed into the first class compartment, instead of the second class that the others had to go on.
The rest of the flight was fine, and they all met up with the host of Survivor, Jeff, for the instructions. The teams were announced, eight to a team, as boys on one side, and girls on another. The teams were not going to merge for a while, and so they were each allowed to choose their own team names. The girls were five short until the Lily Five showed up, announcing that they had taken a different plane, and that they too were going to be on Survivor.
"You will each have to find your own way to your campsites, there is a large flag with your team name above it," Jeff had said when they arrived. Their name had been put on their flag already, as it had been decided already, "Boys are Shounen. Girls are Shoujo.
"Boys versus girls, let the battle… begin!"
