A/N : Sorry again for not updating on time , i was reading another fanfic by one of my fav sk authors/autoresses . The story is called to stop the bleeding by pulchrite. He/she is really talented, you can check out the story if you want(sorry i don't know pulchrite's gender). I'm still open to taking sugesstions if anyone is intrested .Thanks for the reviews,They make me happy and at least i know that people are reading my fanfic*throws cookies to reviwers* ^_^ . At first when i didn't get reviews ,i was thinking of abadoning this like my other stories but when i got 2 reviews ,i knew that i shouldn't give up on this fic. Also,thank you to the guest that told me not to be discouraged or lazy , I was quite happy when i read your review. Don't worry i'm going to be more serious with the story,if i don't update on time it's not because i've given up on it,but maybe because i had some writer's block or i was thinking of what to include in the chapter or i was reading another fic or maybe even watching anime . i decided to change it from : to * , to show the actions of your authoress or the characters' actions in their interviews. And don't worry guys, the real reason for Himiko's beahaviour will be revieled soon . No people ,she's not a meanie just because she feels like it.
Parings : See previous chapters
Ages : Same as above
Disclamer : Shaman king isn't mine (Yet). If it was then... trust me you wouldn't want to know what i would do. *Laughs Maniacally * . OK then on to the story.
Chapter 3 : Coming to terms
It had only been Yesterday that Himiko had put everyone off, today they were putting their feet down and letting Manta know the truth about his so called girlfriend . All the Occupants were asked by the producers their opinion of Himiko and no person gave any positive comments whatsoever.
Lyserg: I don't think i should say this,since i have never said this about a woman before but i was thinking it so might as well say it, Himiko is a Bitch..I barely had a proper coversation with her and she was already throwing stereotypical slurs at me . i don't even know what i did but i don't think i want to put up with this on a daily
Pirika(Ren's gf / Horohoro's Sister) : No definetely no. If i have to breathe the same air as that woman i swear i'm leaving this inn. when she said she was dropping her "Bull****" of an act , i knew she that she had and still has alterior motives.
Ryu (Ex- Gangleader/cook/jun's it's complicated): She called me a 40 year old, rapist sasquach, like what the actual F***?
Macchi:She's rude,mean, vulgar...I..I don't even know what to say about her. If you're gonna swear then please don't do it in front of a kid . I mean ,Who the hell does that? .
Ren(Elemental Warrior / Pirika's Bf/Jun's brother): That woman is a BLEEPPPP (A/N : WARNING The following interview with Ren couldn't be shown because it contains over the top extreme course language that even our censors couldn't mute them because they were just too bad, PLease stand by, XDDD)
Jeanne (Lyserg's gf/former X-laws leader): The last person that i remember ever feeling this way about was Hao .But it seems like Himiko took the spot.(oh oh, that can't be good,must mean she hates her).
Nichrome(Macchi's gf/Hao's ex follower/former patch official) : I'Ve heard people say a lot of crap about me and i'm usuallly a passive guy but i don't think i can accept someone who says something racist . That's just digusting,Racists are disgusting.
Jun( Ren's sister / Ryu's ehmm i don't even know guys it's a little complicated) : I just asked her if she knew what the time was and she called me a Hooker. I don't want to put up with someone like that.
Horohoro: I can't stand anyone who has no respect for the enviroment. she has got to go.
Mari (Hao's gf/Hanagumi waitress) : Mari hates her
Faust (Funabari inn's personal doctor): *Grins dangerously* If nobody is willing to get rid of her then i'll do it myself. isn't that right Eliza .*Eliza nods and smiles creepily*
Tamao: I don't think i have ever disliked a person before but Himiko is an exception. I don't trust her one bit. I keep getting this weird feeling that she's plotting something. I think it's best she leaves before anything bad can happen.
Hao(Former Bad guy/Yoh's twin brother/Ex fire shaman): Nobody calls me weak and gets away with it. I swear i wish i still had spirit of fire,i would have burnt that woman to a crisp.
Producer : But i taught you gave up your evil ways
Hao: Meh,*shurgs shoulders* i could make an exception.
Prouducer: * sweat drops*
Anna(Yoh's wife/Funabari inn manager): I don't like her and i want her out of my Inn
Chocolove(Elemental warrior/comedian) : A lot of people don't like my jokes and i'm ok with that but i wasn't expecting such a harsh comment from her. Only Ren says thinks like that ,Well... because he's Ren. I actually could have sworn she was on the verge of calling me the n word and that is something that I'm too pleased with .
Yoh: I like Manta ,he's my best friend and i really care about him but i don't think Himiko can stay here any longer. She's only spent a day and everyone can't stand her.
Since Manta had come back late to the inn the previous day,He decided to sleep in, as he had no important thing to deal with that day so he slept till it was 10 o clock in the morning. He knew that everyone probably would have had breakfast and kept his own portion for him. He descended the wooden stairs and saw no trace of anyone. He knew Himiko was still asleep and so was Hana but he wondered where the rest of his friends where. He checked the dinning room,kitchen and every other place,Heck he even checked some of their rooms before he realized he missed the must obvious room,The big living room. It was large enough to contain everyone in the inn, so he taught that they were probably watching a movie or something.
He slid the door open to see his frriends all seated, a few were standing but indeed everyone was there. It was as if they were all waiting for him(and they were) . The had displeased looks on their faces, some had worried all turned to look at his confused face.
"Hey guys,What's going on?" Manta nervously asked.
"Manta" Yoh sighed " I didn't want to it come to this but..."He paused
" Oh!, for F&%#'s sake just tell him the truth already" Ren said impatiently
" Ren, calm down and let Yoh finish"His sister warned
"Fine" He mumbled
" As i was saying, Manta you need to know that we can't accomadate Himiko any longer" Yoh finally said .
"B...But why?" He stutered
" Well because she's mean , rude and plain nasty" Macchi answered
" That woman called me weak"Hao scoffed
" She told me to go back to my Hut" Nichorme contributed
"She told me to go choke on a biscuit" Lyserg complained
"Himiko stepped on Mari's flowers"
"She insulted my jokes"
Everyone including Manta,turned to look at chocolove as if he grew and extra head
"oh,umm and she almost called me the n word"
Their looks turned displeased again and they all continued their rants.
" I can't beleive this" Manta said in bewilderment.
" Neither of us could believe it either" Horohoro said
" I can't beleive that my own friends could turn on me like this" Manta said now getting angry
"Wait ,what? i thought you actually-" Horo was cut off.
" How could all of you be happy for me then all of a sudden tell me my girlfriend can't stay here anymore,What the hell?!" He was already furious by now.
"Manta,calm down" Pirika tried to get him to listen
"NO!, don't tell me to calm down"
"HEY, DON'T TALK TO HER LIKE THAT!" Horo and Ren shouted in unision before glancing at each other.
" oh,Manta we always wanted you to get a girfriend,we're so happy for you,blah blah blah " He mocked, remebering what they all said.
"Manta"Yoh tried
" I could expect this from everyone but Yoh of all people,You're supposed to be my best friend ,infact all of you are supposed to be my friends,"
"Manta listen to reason, Even Tamao doesn't like her,Heck Jeanne doesn't like her either" Ryu answered.
" Yeah, do you think we'd all waste our time saying all this if it wasn't true" Lyserg aggreed with Ryu
" I'd suggest we get her out before we decide to take matters into our own hands" Faust said suprisingly calm.
" UGH!"Manta screamed" I can't take this anymore, I just can't with this anymore" Manta said preparing to storm out.
"Wait ,Manta don't go" Tamao called out to him but it was too late, he had already gone out
He slammed the sliding door behind him with a force that seemed illogical for someone like him.
"This is hopeless"Ren sighed in anger.
"You can say that again" Hao said dryly.
" Dear God,please help us" Jeanne clasped her hands together and looked at the ceiling.
" So what are we gonna do?" Chocolove asked to no one in particular.
" Honestly, i don't even know" Yoh exhaled and slumped down into the arm chair beside him .
" I knew this wasn't a good Idea" Anna stated ,arms folded and standing.
" Huh?, Anna" Yoh turned to look at the Itako who had been quiet throughout, and so did everyone else
" It was obvious he wasn't going to listen to us" She kept her stioc expression on her face
"Why would you say that Anna?" Pirika asked curiously
" Because..., He's blindly in love with her" She simply said.
Everyone said nothing and deeply reflected on what the mother of one said. It made sense ,cause why would he lash out on all of them like that if he wasn't .
" I knew it ,right from the first moment he stepped into this Inn with her" She continued
" You're right Anna,Telling him about her behaviour alone won't be enough to conveince him"Lyrserg exhaled and affimed the Blonde woman's statement.
" Then what do you suggest we do?" Ren raised an eyebrow
" I think it's best we find some sort of evidence against her,something to prove that she's not who Manta thinks she is" Lyserg slammed a fist in his other hand
" Oh,there you go again with your detetive crap" Horohoro rolled his eyes.
"Lyserg is right .we need to find some evidence against her" Anna seconded the Detective's Idea, ignoring the blunette
" But how the hell are we supposed to so that?" Macchi exclaimed
" Honestly, i don't know but it's worth a try" Anna sighed for the umpteenth time.
" I don't know guys but something tell's me that there's more to Himiko we don't know" Tamao nevoursly said.
" I feel so too , i mean why would she a just act bitchy for no reason" Nichrome agreed
" You got a point there" Hao acknowledged him
" Who knows ?maybe she's on her period" Horo offered
" I defientely disagree, if she was she wouldn't have told Tamao and i that she was dropping her bull**** of an act when Manta was out" Pirika dispelled her brother's speculation
" If that's the case we need to investigate deeper into this situation and expose Himiko's true intentions while getting Manta to see her true nature" Lyserg said all detective like
" Definetely,Lyserg -kun, i doubt she just came to this inn to throw insults at us" Ryu said
" Who knows ?maybe she has a mental health condition" Faust addeded
" I doubt that" Lyserg shook his head at the idea
" She seems perfectly normal to me" Anna said
" So it's decided we're finding Evidence against her" Horo said excitedly already getting in james bond mode.
Just then, Himiko came down stairs yawning. She heared voices from the living room and entered as if she owned the place. As she stepped in, the tension in the room rose to a maximum. Everyone glared at her and looked like they were about to attack the Woman. she just gave them an apathetic look.
" Now, Now ,Everyone calm down" Yoh pacified his friends.
Himiko gave a small giggle then a full out laugh.
" What's so funny?" Ren said in a murderous tone.
" It's funny that no matter what you people do, you can't conveince Manta" Himiko smirked
" How did you-" Jeanne wanted to ask but was cut off by Himiko
" oh, come on, I know you all can't stand me and want me out of here" She yawned "But it's not gonna happen"
" What makes you so sure?" Jun asked challenging the idea
" I don't think i need to explain to you" she looked at her nails while she said this " Anyway, where's the shrimp" She asked not expecting anyone to answer
" He's outside ,why?" Yoh asked,brows furrowed
" Oh, nothing" She smiled sweetly.
She walked out of the room ,shaking her hips in the process. Everyone looked at yoh
" Yoh, why did you tell her where Manta was?" Horo asked glearing at his friend
" What?,she asked" Yoh shrugged his shoulders as if it wasn't a big deal
Anna just rolled her eyes and sighed.
" Guys, I've been thinking, maybe we shouldn't try to kick Himiko out" Yoh said out of the blue
The inn occupants all gave Yoh dirty looks as if he was completely mental.
" OK , OK, i was only Kidding" He grinned sheepisly and held his hands out in defense
A mutttered "better" could be heard from someone in the room.
" So operation " EXpose Hmiko for the phony she is" is a Yes" Chocolove rose his eyebrows waiting for a confirmation
" DEFINETELY" Everyone answered in unision
Meanwhile,Himiko exited the house and saw Manta standing outside, lost in taught,she slowly walked over to where he was and faked a concerned look.
" what's wrong sweetie?"
"It's just.." Manta took a deep breathe and continued " I'm dissapointed that my own friends could falsely accuse my girfriend like that''
" I know they don't like me but you shouldn't stay mad at them, they're your friends" She said sadly
" yeah... but when they say awful things about the love of my life , i won't just stand there and take it"
Himiko almost gagged when manta said that but the little man didn't seem to notice.
" Look manta, you shouldn't care about what they think, They don't understand our realationship" she cupped his face in her hands when she said this.
" you're right. i don't need their opinion as long as we have each other " He held her hands delicately as she cupped his face , feeling less down and more assured.
He planted his lips softly on hers and she returned the kiss. They stood there like that for a couple of minutes before they both decided they needed oxygen.
" Maybe we should go back inside" she suggested
'' Yeah, i don't even care what any of them'll say anymore" He said confidentely
" Maybe you should try making up with them" she twiddled her thumbs
" After what they said? maybe if they apologize i might forgive them but if they don't i don't see why" He folded his arms on his chest and turned his head away.
" maybe you're right" she gave him a sad smile . " but we should go inside" she continued
" ...yeah"
He took her hand in his and they both sauntered causually into the establishment.
Next time on keeping up with the shaman king:
" Manta wait please, i need to talk to you" YOh called out to him
" Two weeks and that's it yoh or else i'm leaving this Inn for good" Manta said sternely not letting his voice waver
" so how exactly are we going to carry this out?" jeanne asked worriedely
" I don't know love but we have to do something" Lyserg stated seriously
Drumroll,
what exactly is manta giving Yoh two weeks for ? will they ever find the evidence they're looking for ? How will they find the evidence ? . Find out on the next episode of KUWTSK
