Chapter 2)
Back to the Present: After Yoh defeated Hao
The heat pounded the already heated rocks on the ground beside a temple looking house, the roads outside that lonesome house stood lonely with only a small amount of vehicles passing through the desert rough looking road with dust whirling around the dried air, that threaten to suck every ounce of water on the ground or in a person. "Yoh Asakura" erupted from the lonesome house, echoing in the desert surrounding, amplifying the already loud voice, beyond it original sound. "Do a 100 more laps, for cheating" shouted a small figure of a girl, blond hair swirling in the dusty wind, her long lean figure provided little resistant against a huge desert wind that brought forth more dust, her bandana provided a little protection for her hair against the dust and ever so small sand from flicking into her clean hair. "Do I, Anna…? I wasn't cheating; I was testing the icy cold water for you. I wasn't cheating…" said the sweaty figure drenched in his own smelly sweat, since the sun had rose from the horizon. He was bearing a smile in hopes that Anna would reconsider her decision of another 100 lap after the 500 he had already undergone, but deep in his brain a part of him was telling him that the chances of Anna ever lightening the decision is zero to a billion or a trillion, which slap some of reality in him. Anna walked into the lonesome house, which brought a smile on Yoh's flirty face for the first time in a long while. Yoh was telling himself what this meant 'This is wonderful,' Yoh said to himself in awe of what he had done, and Let me tell you it is a pretty hard to stand up to Anna 'But, I hoped I didn't hurt Anna feelings, or tomorrow will hell for me' laughed Yoh happily. "Yoh Watch…" said a ghostly figure floating behind Yoh, just as a huge club took a swing at Yoh's head, leaving Yoh dazzled for a second or two before, he shouted in surprise of the attack "Who did that?"
"Yoh…" Anna said in a mocking tone, her hands wrapped around a huge branch, I guess you could call it an average log, her face grinning like a little child. "How dare you defy me? I got you a companion for your run!" laughed Anna, covering her mouth to hide a huge grin that nearly split her face in half. "The log is going to be your companion for your 150 laps," prompted Anna.
"150? I though you said a 100 laps!" replied Yoh, a little moody with an extra 50 laps, he was after all already exhausted from the previous laps.
"How does 200 laps sound to you?" Anna said, without a hint of smile,
"150, Sounds good to me!" laughed Yoh as he prepared to run another 150 laps, around the sun-baked garden. "Yoh" said the ghostly figure of his guardian spirit, Amidamaru a once samurai warrior that prevail good over evil, "Is it me or has Anna, gone soft after the incident with Hao?" said Amidamaru, with a face filled with shocked at what the incident with Hao has changed to the Yoh-whats-up gang. "No, Amidamaru is not you, who only realized Anna has changed, everyone I think" Yoh replied, "I guess Anna has come to appreciate the greater things in life, after the incident with Hao"
"And if I may ask? What has she come to appreciate in life?" Amidamaru questioned, "Well, she has come to appreciate the greatest thing in the whole world, and that would be… erm… hmm…ME!" shouted Yoh happily, just as he ran off into the horizon with Amidamaru floating not far behind him.
It was when the sun was at its peak, that Yoh had finally finished the extra 150 laps, the sun now sending more heat waves that sky rocketed the thermometer inside the lonesome house to a 45-degree heat. There was no air-conditional, just a tiny little fan that provided little comfort for the residents of the lonesome house. With sweat now beating down Yoh's darken face and exposed skin during the long tedious run, he stumbles through the front door, exhausted and worn out from the morning training set by Anna. His stomach grumbles with rage that it has nothing to eat since early morning, his legs frail and lifeless with blood pumping furiously throughout his suntan body and lifeless body.
"Anna…" shouted Yoh, from his dried crack lips creating a jagged voice. Waiting for a reply, Yoh got anxious and wondered if something had happen to Anna during his run, his heart started getting more anxious as no reply came. That was when Yoh, decided that something must be wrong. "Amidamaru, into the sword" said Yoh, pushing his guardian spirit miniature head into the steel sword, now glowing with a light blue aura. "Yoh, I sense a great amount of Furioko in the guest room or what Anna now call the conferences room," said the steel sword
"Got it," replied Yoh with little effort. Charging towards the guest room, Yoh saw 2 great mammoth figures, muscles developed into both their exposed skin, the person speaking wearing a blue bandana and the other covered by a dark bandana. "Anna… we need Yoh to come with us, there is an emergence… and the world will be in danger", pleaded a familiar voice that Yoh recognized, but couldn't place a name on. "No, Silva" replied Anna in a cold clam voice, holding a senses of authority over Silva.
"Silva, we shouldn't be asking a little girl… We…" said Silva's companion mild way in the sentence when a flying sandal smack his scared face, making a large smack sound, but not without leaving a mark on his face, a red shoe sized 10 print and a large letter L on Silva's companion's face. 'L for Loser, now that fit you just right, wouldn't you say?" said Anna, bearing a serious face even after a joke. Yoh from behind the screen could help but laugh at Silva's companion, 'Who would want to mess with Anna?' said the sword, 'Nobody here,' replied Yoh, roaring with another laugher but not loud enough to let Anna or her guest hear her. Silva's companion now filled with rage and embarrassment, merged with his eagle guardian spirit, and then took a strike at Anna. "Eagle's Claw" shouted Silva's companion, when his hands became the talon of an eagle ready to rip Anna into shreds. His talon met the hard surface of steel, seconds before the talon collided with Anna's smooth clean face. "Stop this foolishness, Irony" Silva demanded of his companion who looked years younger than that of Silva.
"What is the meaning of this Silva?" said Anna, with no emotion what so ever on her face, even after her near "talon experiences". "Hey, Silva. How's thing been in Dhobi village after we left?" Yoh greeted his long friend, from a secret village. "Yoh, you're just who we are looking for!" Silva greeted Yoh with great respect after defeating Hao in the Shaman tournament, saving the King of Spirit in the mean while.
"Now that we are all here, I can explain why we have come to asked for your help!" Silva said, "Actually we can't explain it as well as the elders in Dhobi village. We'll give it try…"
"There is a greater evil in the world… and it is not Hao not that him getting defeated will make any-difference… the end…" said Silva a few seconds after he started, surrounded by confused face, he shrugged his over-develop shoulders, telling them he didn't know much except a great evil was in the world and if they wanted more information they should go to the elders in Dhobi Village where they will be told in full details.
It took hours before the complex mind of Anna accepts the fact that they were needed to defeat the unknown evil that the shaman elders feared. Turning to face Silva, she said in a whisper that she was going to meet them at Dhobi village, and had a few events that she needed to do, before she could stay at Dhobi Village. Irony who still bear the mark of defeat, merged with the background shadow wanting to invisible to everyone. Meanwhile Yoh was busy, packing the essential items for his long journey to the secluded village where they had been to months ago, smelling them to ensure they are clean enough to wear before stuffing the crumpled shirts into the bag, turning to his wardrobe reality slapped him right in the face, in his past adventure he had been pounded, attack and had found a twin brother that was mentally ill who wanted an all shaman world and mostly he had a near-death experiences. Yet, after all that brutality deep in his soul he still felt the thrill of being on yet another adventure that could save the world. He wanted the thrill, even though his body got battered, bruised and injured.
'Thump, Thump'
"Come in" Yoh told his visitor to enter, the tiny compartment he called a room.
"Yoh, there is something you should know!" said his visitor's whose voice sounded screechy like rocks grinding together. Guessing by his voice, Yoh assumed his visitor was Irony, because Anna had icy cold tone and Silva had a less rough tone.
"What do I need to know?" answer Yoh to his visitor, suppressing a yawn which produces a crazy language that is barely audible.
"Fallen Angel welcomes you to join his group, if you accept his offer…that is… Do you?" Irony (Yoh assumed) questioned Yoh
"What or who is this Fallen Angel?" requested Yoh, getting a curious as to what this Fallen Angel represents… the person was still unknown to Yoh, who was busy gathering his crumbled cloths to his bag.
"Fallen Angel is…" replied Irony (Yoh assumed), pausing following the creaking of floorboards outside the wooden door providing Irony with enough time to pause. Silva and Anna entered the already crowded room, telling them of the plan they had installed for Yoh and the others. Turning to face his friends, Yoh noticed that Irony wasn't in his room. "Where's Irony?" Yoh pose the question, his face confuse.
"His somewhere below" Silva replied sharply, wasting no time with another doom-day approaching.
"But I though he was…" asked Yoh, a little freaked out. But was interrupted by Silva urged to leave the house and be gone to Dhobi village.
