Shaman King Omake

A Mankin Barbeque

Posted Tuesday December 5th, 2006

Before you read any further, please note that this is an Omake. It has nothing to do with the fic, I just wrote this because I was having a sugar rush and I saw this hilarious Shaman King fan art on Deviantart. There is a link on my Bio; you can get a look at the pic from there! Before you ask, yes, I did ask for permission to do a fic on it! Remember; this is completely AU to both canon AND my fic!

It was a bright and sunny day at Funbari Hill. Everyone was on summer vacation from school and feeling quite relaxed and content. Even Hao and Ren, who normally bickered constantly, where content to just laze around on the porch of Funbari Inn, although they were on opposite corners of the porch.

At roughly noon, Horohoros' stomach growled, along with Yohs'.

"Ugh, I'm so hungry!" Complained the Ainu shaman. "Yoh, is there anything to eat around this place?"

"No, Anna and the girls have been gone all week, and we've already eaten all the food they left us. Except those frozen hamburgers in the freezer." Said Yoh, not moving from his spot beside his twin.

Then, an idea popped into Horohoros' head.

"Hey, Hao?"

"Yeah?"

"You still have Spirit of Fire, right?"

"Yeah, I'm the Shaman King aren't I? I control all of the Great Spirits don't I?"

"Couldn't you just use him to cook those burgers? I'm hungry!"

"Let me get this straight. You want me, the Shaman King, most powerful Shaman alive today, to use Spirit of Fire, a Great Spirit, part of the Kings of Spirits itself, to cook us food just because we're all to lazy to go grocery shopping without Anna yelling at us to?"

"Yep."

A sigh emanated from said Shaman King.

"Why not?" Hao got up from his seat. "But only if you guys go get the burgers and the barbeque. It's that, or you all go hungry."

Horohoro opened his mouth, but shut it immediately, getting up and ran to the kitchen. Yoh and Ren looked at each other, nodded and left to get the barbeque. Hunger was an excellent motivator. Not as good as Anna, but still good.

Hao looked at the only remaining member of their little group.

"Manta, go and get my apron."

"What? Oh fine, which one is yours?"

"Trust me, you'll know."

He got up and all but ran to get his apron; he wanted to eat as well! When he got to the entrance of the kitchen, he looked at the hook rack loaded with aprons, each one was white, but the all had a different saying or image on it.

One had a large orange on it, defiantly Yohs'.

The next had something that was written in Mandarin, Rens'.

There was one with a pink heart, Tamaos'.

Last but on least, the one on the end had 'KISS THE COOK', the last word was crossed out, and PYRO was written instead.

Manta sweat dropped. That was most defiantly the work on Haos' girlfriend, seeing as Hao was useless with a needle and no one else would be willing to give him something like that. He might be on the good side now, but he still had a temper. He grabbed the apron and ran back to the backyard, where Ren and Yoh had wrestled the old barbeque and Horohoro was fighting with the frozen burgers to get them onto a plate, he gave the apron to Hao, who tied it on.

Once that was done, he was handed the burgers and placed ten on the grill, enough for two each.

He looked to the gang that was staring at him expectantly.

"How do you guys want you burgers?"

Yoh yelled out medium, as did Horohoro and Manta. Just to be different, Ren yelled out medium-rare.

Hao turned to grill and concentrated on raising the heat around the burgers, like he used to do before he started living with Yoh and Anna.

When he finally felt a spark form, he surprised himself when a huge column of flame erupted from in front of him.

He turned to look at his friends.

"Right. Your choices are raw and well-done."

He was met with stunned silence.

"What the heck just happened?!" Yelled Manta from his place behind Yoh, where he had jumped to when the fire at started.

"I guess I still haven't gotten used to the power-boost from the King of Spirits. How about we go out for lunch?"

AN; I hope you guys liked this! It's an added apology for not updating in so long! Remember to go check out the original art!
