Four Leaf Clover

By: Neko

Disclaimers: I don't own Shaman King. If I did, there would be no way in hell that I'd let 4Kids dub it.

-Edit- I also do NOT own the great TBV show called "Sunshine Heartbeat" in which I based this story completley on.

Summary: As a child, Anna always loved fortunetelling. One day, a fortuneteller told her that she forever cursed. In order to break the curse, Anna must find her true love before she turns 16. The only way to know if he is the one is to find a four leaf clover birth mark on his shoulder, but the fortune teller never told her which shoulder. When Anna moves to California, she meets a boy names Hao Asakura and he had a four leaf clover mark. His twin, Yoh Asakura also has one. Who is her true love? YohxAnna HaoxAnna And others

Note: Anna is definitely much friendlier here then the anime and so is Hao. Kino is the fortuneteller who told Anna that she is cursed for life and she is not related to Yoh and Hao. Yoh and Hao are both on the volley ball team and are the most popular boys in the whole school. Ren and HoroHoro are popular too but not as. Pirika, Mari and Macchi are the most popular girls in the school and they are all on the girl's volley ball team. Oh yah, before I forget, sorry! There are no shaman related activities. Just maybe some slapping, kicking, and volley ball action lol.

Prologue

5 years old Anna Kyoyama skipped down town and towards the fortune telling shop. She loves fortune telling. It was also so mysterious to her on how they could tell her future. How they could didn't matter to her. She just wanted her fortune told. Anna opened the door to the fortune telling store. The room was dark, very dark, lit dimly with a few candles. She walked pass the voodoo dolls, the skulls, bones, etc and lifted the cloth that covered a dark room.

She walked in calmly and watched the single candle lighting the room dimly in front of her. She took a seat in front of it and waited quietly. A few minutes later, a elderly woman walked into the room from the other side of the room.

"Ah, Anna. You are early today." She said as calmly as she walked in. Anna looked up at the elderly woman who had just walked in.

"Kino-Sama, Konichiwa." She said with a small smile. Kino smiled.

"Well, let have a look now shall we?" Kino took a seat in front of the crystal ball. "May I see your hand please?" Anna handed her hand over to Kino who examined it. Kino nodded a little but frowned.

"Now light this and lit the other candles." She instructed, handing Anna a small candle stick. Anna nodded and took the candle stick, lit it and lit the other candles that formed a circle.

"Now stand in the middle of the circle." Kino instructed. Anna nodded and carefully stepped in the middle of the of the circle. Kino nodded and watched the flames flicker. She nodded and motioned Anna to step out of the circle.

"Now light the other candles." Kino told her. Anna blinked and looked around. The room was pretty much covered with candles on the floor.

"You are kidding right?" Anna asked. "There is no way I can-"

"Do it." Kino firmly told her. Anna nodded and did as she was told.

A few minutes or 5 later, Anna finally lit all the candles n the room, making the room shine brightly in a orangey and yellow mixed with a hint of amber color.

"So... What now?" Anna asked as she took a seat again. "You never did anything like this before."

"Blow out the candles." Kino instructed, totally ignoring her question.

"What? But I just-" Kino cut her off again.

"Do it now." Kino told her. "Blow out all the candles with one breath." Anna blinked. There was no way she could blow out all these candles with a single blow. Not unless she has a fan or something. Anna nodded slowly and took a deep breath. "This is silly." Anna thought as she blew at the candles. To her surprise, most of the candles went out. The ones left were burning lighter then before, forming a picture. Kino nodded.

"I see..." Anna blinked. What? What did she see? Anna looked back at the candles with amazement. The picture the remaining candles formed was a four leaf clover; its stem pointing to the right.

"Umm... Kino-Sama. What just happened? Why is there was picture of a leaf here?" Anna was definitely confused. She knew Kino would not play a trick on her but why did this happen? Kino took a seat and motioned Anna to sit across from her.

"Anna, I must tell you something very important." She told her in a serious voice.

"What?" Anna blinked. Something felt wrong.

"Anna, you are cursed." Anna blinked. Cursed? How can she be cursed? "The only way you can break this curse is to find your true love before you turn 16." Kino continued.

"And if I don't?" Anna was sure she didn't want to know what Kino would say next but her curiosity took control.

"If you don't..." Kino paused. "You will be cursed forever and everyone you care about will leave you. You will be alone, hated. Your life will shimmer away and you will have no friends. Even your family members and people closest to you will leave you." Anna gulped.

"How do I find him then?" Anna asked. The sooner she finds him, the better.

"You see the picture the candles form?" Kino asked looking at the remaining candles still lit brightly.

"It's..." Anna studied it. "A leaf or something."

"Not just any leaf my dear." Kino said shaking her head. "It's a four leaf clover. It means good luck." Anna nodded and listened closely. "Your true love will have the symbol of a four leaf clover on his shoulder. Like a birth mark." Kino told her. Anna gulped. How was she supposed to find her "True Love" if the mark is on his shoulder? What? She has to strip him or watch him change? "Total Eww." Anna mumbled.

"What is that you said?" Anna gulped.

"Oh nothing. I was... well just thinking... That's all." She told Kino with a small nervous smile. "Where do I begin searching?"

"That is where I stop helping you." Kino told her. Anna blinked. What? "You must find him on your own." Kino got up and walked away. She stopped however, before she left the room.

"Good luck my dear and remember, you must find him before you turn 16." With that, Kino walked out of the room, leaving Anna alone in the dark room.

Ah! What a chapter! Interesting... So far. Please keep in mind about which direction the leaf stem points to. It will be important later on... Yes, yes. It's called for-shadowing... Anyway, Next chapter is be when Anna is 14 and moves to California to live with Tamao.
