This is Chapter 11 of Forgotten Shamans vol 1: The Bride of the Tao.

I do not own Shaman King or any of its characters. I'm just a gigantic fan XD…

Recap:

Yue, Ren's fiancé, meets up with a strange boy known as Hao and decides to have a look at this vision that he seems so eager to share with her.

Quick note on this chapter: Short Chapter I know, but there is a method to the madness. I promise

Review pls:) Thanks for all the reviews so far. Hope you are enjoying the story as much as I am writing it.

Arigato! Mahalo! And all things fun!

"That is the essence of the Chou Senji Ryakketsu, a book that I had compiled with the teachings that I had learnt a thousand years ago." Hao looked from the camp fire back to the sphere that his spirit was holding.

The Spirit of Fire was sitting cross-legged behind him, the sphere balanced between its hands, cradled in its lap. Yue's spirit, Kasai, hovered in front of the sphere, his gaze continually wavering between Hao, the Spirit of Fire, and the sphere of light – the essence of the Chou Senji Ryakketsu.

"Your concern is admirable, but pointless. I already told you I had no plans to harm her." Hao turned back to the fire.

"What is happening to her in there?"

"She is coming into contact with the original me. I'm just showing her my power, and my vision for the future."

Hao looked up at the tents pitched just outside the fiery glow of his fire. There were fifteen tents which housed his companions. They were strong shamans that he had sought out. He had shared his vision with them. They believed in it, believed in him; and decided to follow him, to bring his vision to the world.

To help him become the savior, the Shaman King.

Would she join them?

Hao was looking forward to it. There was something different about this girl.

Something…

Weak as she was now, Hao already knew that there was a vast potential in her.

"I'll teach you more than you've ever dreamed possible." He thought. "You'll surpass the Chou Senji Ryakketsu, just as I have." He looked at the sphere and smiled. He felt… happy.

The light disappeared, and the Spirit of Fire lowered one hand to the ground.

"Yue-chan!" Kasai rushed to her side.

Hao walked into the Spirit's hands. Yue was lying there, her eyes closed.

"What's wrong with her?" Kasai demanded.

"Don't worry, Warrior. She is simply overwhelmed. Its not everyday someone experiences such a huge increase in furyoku. Her body is not use to it. But she will be better soon." He placed a hand under her legs, the other under her back, and lifted her up. He walked off the Spirit of Fire's hand and headed towards his tent.

"What will you be like when you wake up?" Hao wondered. That happy flutter happened again, and he pulled Yue just a little closer to him.
