Van: Hi! This is my first Shaman King fic!

Kim: She's been talking about it.

Van: (hits Kim) Anyway, I've only saw the dubbed version of Shaman King so bear with me.

Kim: (Stares at the lawyers) We DON'T own anything I swear.

Switched!

It is once said that a promise could never be broken. A pair of good friends created a vow of friendship promising that one day, one of them will become Shaman King.

A young warrior stood in Funbari hill waiting. The warrior sighed. It was so much like his friend to be quite late. The warrior straightened his brown shirt as a samurai ran toward him.

Amidamaru: Hey! Mosuke! I finally received my guardian ghost!

Mosuke: That's great! Me too!

Amidamaru: (straining for a look) Where is he?

Mosuke: Oh! (Shifts nervously) Wh-Why don't you show yours?

Amidamaru: (laughs) Um… Well you see…

Something springs out from behind Amidamaru and before he could do anything, it leaps behind Mosuke.

Thing-or-person-you-don't-know: Manta! (Hugs Manta) Manta, it's been years! How've you been? It was so BOR-ING!

Manta: Gah! Yoh! Down, down! (struggles) It's great to see you, but come on!

Amidamaru: (sweat drops) that's why.

Mosuke: (sweat drops) I see what you mean. (notices a little girl that oddly looks like a mainutian) Oh Kororo! How've you been?

Kokoro: (grins) Kororo koro koro ko! (kororo translator: Nothing much. I am just training!) Koro koro ko ko! (kororo translator: And I'm going to win!

Amidamaru: Um… What? (sweatdrops)

Mosuke: Humph! And who is your guardian ghost?

Kororo: Koro koro koro! (Kororo translator: I thought you'd never ask!)

A blue haired ghost swoops down on his snow board splashing snow on everybody except Kororo.

Kororo: Ko ko KORO KORO! (kororo translator: Guys, meet HOROHORO!)

Horo: Yoh! Manta! (leaps at both of them) It's great to see you again! I thought I'd never see you guys! And with Pilika in the after life! WAH! (river tears)

Mosuke: (surprised) One of the Ainu?

Amidamaru: (mouth hangs open) No fair…

Amidamaru dodges out of the way as an attack barely missed him. He turned to find a weird green lizard-looking man grinning evilly holding a wooden sword.

Weird-looking-lizard-man: Heh heh heh… It is I, Tokagero! I've come with a vengeance, Amidamaru!

Mosuke: (points) You know him?

Amidamaru: (thinks for a moment) Nope.

Tokagero: What! (enraged) It is I, Tokagero! I have come for revenge ever since you… Ever since you, Amidamau… Ah! I don't even remember what it was!

Everybody falls back with sweatdrops.

Tokagero: (turns infuriated) But still! You've ruined me for the last time, Amidamaru! Now face the wrath of Tokagero!

Mosuke: (points) You sure?

Amidamaru: Hey! I can't remember every low bandit!

Tokagero: Don't ignore me! Now witness my guardian ghost! Rio! Spirit ball form!

Yoh: What the!

Manta: Rio!

Mosuke: Manta, you know this spirit?

Manta: Rio used to be a gang leader before he died. One the most feared too.

Amidamaru: That's not fair! Kokoro got the Ainu and Tokagero got a gang leader, but look at me! A slacker! (river tears)

Mosuke: (joins Amidamaru) I know how you feel my friend, I've got an undersized Webster!

Yoh: (grinning) There, there… (pats Amidamaru's back)

Manta: (does the same) Yeah, we… Hey! Who are you calling Webster! (angry at Mosuke)

Tokagero: Are you even paying attention! Get up and fight!

Rio: Perhaps it's time for a little persuasion!

Tokagero begins an assault which causes Amidamaru to reflexively dodge every single attack. Amidamaru reached for his katana, but Tokagero knocks it away whacks Amidamaru with the butt of his wooden sword. As Tokagero launch a final assault, Amidamaru's ghost swiftly floated in front of him.

Yoh: Hey Rio! Remember me! (waves arms) It's me, Yoh!

Rio: (surprised) Master Yoh!

Yoh nods and Rio stops bonding with Tokagero and flew straight to Yoh.

Rio: Master Yoh! It's so good to see you! (river tears)

Manta: (sweat drops) Oh yeah, now I remember! Rio used to be a shaman apprentice!

Amidamaru: (looks at Yoh with new admiration) For Yoh?

Manta: No, for the itako Kyouyama Anna.

Amidamaru and Mosuke fell back.

Kim: (stares) Does Kororo actually says Kororo?

Van: (worried) I don't know. Well if she doesn't, then I'll fix it. R&R! Thank you!

Kim: By the way, the beginning seems too serious!

Van: Well… Yeah… But it will get better!
