Switched! Ch 2

Tokagero growled. Apparently Amidamaru was smart enough to know of Ryu's weaknesses including past friendships. Well, he expected no less from his foe.

Tokagero: (shouts) Ryu! We're leaving now!

As Ryu came to his side, Tokagero smirked.

Tokagero: There now is that so hard? (turns to Amidamaru menacingly) You may have defeated me this time, but you'll never defeat me at the Shaman tournament! Muahahahahahahaha-(Cough!Cough!Hack!Cough!)

Amidamaru and Mosuke and their spirits sweatdropped as Tokagero and his ghost left.

Tokagero: (yelling) You haven't seen the last of Tokagero! I will have my revenge on you Amidamaru!

Ryu: (thinking) Sheesh, will he ever shut up? All he does is yak and yak!

Trey and Kororo got out of their hiding place behind the tree. Trey shook his head amazed while Kororo breathed a sigh of relief.

Kororo: Ko! Ko ko roro. (Kororo translator: Man! That guy scared me.)

Trey: (laughs) Come on! A boasting huge lizard like that can't be scary.

Kororo: (annoyed) Ko, koro koro ko ko. (kororo translator: Yeah, but the lizard part is.)

Amidamaru: There, you see Yoh? We've got plenty of competitors in the tournament like Tokagero! You can't be lazy! We have to train more in order to ensure our victory!

Yoh: Aw shucks, Amidamaru, don't worry. Deep down, Tokagero's a nice guy that I'll bet he'll let us move onto the next round! (grins)

Amidamaru, Mosuke, and Manta all fell back at this stupid response.

Manta: Come on Yoh. Even you know the competition's going to be fierce. I mean, even Trey and Kororo knows that.

Yoh: Oh yeah. (pause, then suddenly grins again) Then I guess we're doomed!

Amidamaru, Mosuke, and Manta all fell back once more.

Yoh: (laughs) Kidding! No, seriously, you gotta relax, Amidamaru. I'm really sure we'll pull through, don't you?

Amidamaru was amazed by Yoh's confidence in their victory and realized that at times like these, his ghost didn't seem too laid back.

Kororo: Ko, ko ko koro koro, ko koro ko koro ko. (Kororo translator: Well it's all been great and all, but Trey and I gotta go.)

Trey floated over to his friends quickly and gave them a HUGE bear hug.

Trey: (crying waterfalls) GOODBYE GUYS! THE NEXT TIME WE'RE GONNA MEET, IT WON'T AS FRIENDS, SO GOOD LUCK! (bawls)

Kororo took her ghost with her annoyed and embarrassed at Try's behavior and left waving at her two buddies.

Amidamaru: (sighs) What will I do? At least your ghost isn't a slacker!

Mosuke: (jaw drops) What! Manta can hardly defend himself! He can't handle any kind of sword and he doesn't even know how to aim with an arrow or use a ninja weapon!

Amidamaru: Well, you can't really do any of that either.

Mosuke: And what is that supposed to imply? (annoyed)

Yoh: Well, It just means that you and Manta are meant for each other. (laughs)

Mosuke & Manta: (simultaneously) What! No way!

Amidamaru and Yoh laughed heartily.

Yoh: See? You even agree with each other!

Amidamaru suddenly drew his katana and swung it behind him only to have it met with a kwan-dow. (Van: Did I spell that right?) He smirked at the newcomer.

Amidamaru: It's great to see you, Bason.

Van: Thanks to all of you that reviewed! I'm sorry that it took so long, and I'll work on the next chapter as fast as I can.
