Disclaimer: I don't own Shaman King

Okay, here's the next chapter.

"Lord Yoh! Lord Yoh! LORD YOH!" Yoh shot up,

"Huh? What? What's going on Amidamaru?" Yoh asked and looked around sleepily.

"Nothing, it's just that you're going to be late," Amidamaru answered.

"Late? For what? Oh!" Yoh got out of bed, dressed, and left.

"Amidamaru, I'm surprised you didn't wake up the others with your yelling," said Yoh as he jogged his way there.

Yoh reached the secret place where he's suppose to meet Shiow Ying and her friends. It was a pretty place. There was a waterfall and the place was surrounded by trees but there's enough room to do a lot of different stuff.

He saw Chris and Kira eating rice balls.

"Yo! What's up, Yoh!" waved Kira,

"Hungry?" Chris asked.

Yoh's stomach growled,

"Yeah!" he said with a smile and started chowing down.

"Well you got an appetite," said Chris,

"Sure do!" said Yoh and continued eating.

Then, unexpectedly, three eggs were thrown at them. Yoh and Chris sensed it coming and grabbed their swords (yes, Yoh brought it) and both sliced the egg that was being thrown at them. Chris did extra by grabbing a bowl and caught the yolk and the white. The third egg hits Kira on the head.

"Ow!" she cried.

"Not bad, Yoh," said Shiow as she appeared out of nowhere then bowed to Amidamaru,

"Nice to see you, Amidamaru," she said.

"Same here," he said.

"Shiow Ying! What's with the egg?" Kira shouted.

"My family did that to me when I was 8, so I decided to try it on you," said Shiow.

"Now I got yolk all over me," Kira whined.

"Then go by the waterfall and wash your face," said Chris pointing to the waterfall and Kira got up to wash off.

Yoh yawned,

"Why do you guys wake up so early?" Yoh asked,

"So no one can follow us here," Chris answered,

"But wouldn't someone see us go out?" Yoh asked,

"No, because no one pays attention to people coming from somewhere, just where they're going," said Shiow and sat down to eat to.

Yoh yawned again,

"What time did you sleep last night, Yoh?" Shiow asked,

"Anna had me do a little extra training and it lasted until 10," he said rubbing his eyes.

"Hm, 7 hours of sleep, I feel sorry for you," said Chris.

"Me too, if Anna really sound as bad as you say she is," said Shiow.

"I'm back!" Kira cried as she sat down with them with her hair dripping with water,

"Did you put your whole head in the water?" Chris asked,

"Yeah," she answered with a smile. The three got a sweatdrop.

"Alright, everyone up! Amidamaru, you can hang out with our ghosts," said Shiow pointing by the waterfall where their spirits are.

"Go, ahead, Amidamaru," said Yoh and got up too.

"Okay guys, last time, Kira slacked off in our running so we're running again," said Shiow. And they groaned.

"Come on, today's treats are ice cream," said Shiow, then Chris and Kira grabbed a timer and those thing that records how far you run/walk and they started running.

"Come on, Yoh, I'll run with you, we pretty much circle around this place and we count how many times we've circled within 20 minutes," said Shiow.

"Okay!" said Yoh with a smile and they started to run.

"WHERE IS YOH?" Anna shouted.

"I-I don't k-know Miss Anna," said Tamao,

"I don't know either," Pilika.

Anna glared at the boys,

"Don't look at us," said Horo,

"Yeah, we don't know anything!" said C.L.

"Then go out there and find him!" she shouted and they departed.

"Yoh owes us, Anna took her anger out on us and we didn't do anything!" said Horo as they walked around Dobe Village,

"Well Yoh will get a taste of Anna's anger himself when he gets back," said Ren.

Manyhours later:

Yoh, Shiow, Chris, and Kira were panting and gasping for breath and lying on the floor.

"I thought (breathe) that this (breathe in) would be (breathe) easier," said Yoh,

"How (breathe) do you (breathe) think we (breathe) feel?" Chris asked,

"Hey, I'm (breathe) just as (breathe) tired (breathe) as you guys," said Shiow. Kira said nothing, she was too tired. Shiow sat up,

"Are you guys, really that tired?" she asked,

"After doing running, sit-up, push-ups, balancing, and other stuff without rest, what so you think?" Chris asked.

"I'll get you guys some ice cream, what flavors?" she asked,

"Choc…olate," Kira was able to say.

"Vanilla," said Chris,

"Chocolate!" said Yoh.

"Alright," said Show and got up.

"Where in the Dobe Village is Yoh?" Horo asked as he and everyone else takes a break from all that looking. Ren then saw Shiow Ying getting ice cream.

"I'm looking again," said Ren,

"Okay," said Manta.

Ren walked over to her,

"What are you doing here?"

"Getting ice cream, what does it look like?" Shiow answered.

"For your team and Yoh?" Ren asked as he crossed his arms,

"Yeah, why?"

"Because we need Yoh back if you don't mind,"

"Well I do," said Shiow.

"The longer Yoh is away, the angrier Anna is going to get," said Ren.

"Really? Well, I still have to deliver these ice cream cones you know. It can't be that bad for Yoh," said Shiow taking the four cones.

"You have no idea," said Ren.

"Alright, I'll tell Yoh," said Shiow and walked off and Ren said nothing.

After the three were rested up Yoh sat up and asked,

"Hey, Chris, does Shiow Ying always does these stuff for you guys?"

"Yeah, she's shy yet tough and likes her friends a lot. We said we'll go with her whenever she's doing something like get treats for us, but she doesn't want us to," said Chris.

"Shiow Ying can be a loner, we may be there for her but Chris and I are all she has left," said Kira staring at the sky.

"So she spends a lot of time on her own and thinking about stuff," said Chris.

"Wow, and what do you mean you two are the only ones she has left?" Yoh asked.

"It's not important," said Shiow as she came back with 4 ice cream cones.

"Thanks Shiow!" said Kira.

"Shieh Shieh (Thank you in Chinese)," said Chris.

"Thanks!" said Yoh.

"Oh, I ran into Ren and he said he needs you back or Anna's anger will blow off the roof," said Shiow licking her strawberry ice cream.

Yoh got those anime tears,

"I knew I couldn't avoid it forever," he cried.

"I want to meet this Anna, she's sounds like the type of girl that won't let anyone push her around," said Kira.

"I don't, the way Yoh and his friends described her, I'm scared," said Chris.

"We could meet her if that's what you want, Kira," said Shiow.

"NO!" Yoh and Chris shouted.

"Yoh, it'll be 6 in about an hour. I guess I shouldn't of had given you guys dessert," said Shiow.

"But we like it when you do that," said Kira with a big grin.

"Yeah, then you guys sneak out for a midnight snake afterwards," said Shiow. Chris and Kira got a sweatdrop and tried to look innocent.

Yoh laughed,

"You guys sure get along," he said.

"Most of the time," said Chris.

Yoh finished his ice cream first,

"I guess I got to go," said Yoh standing up.

"Can I go with you? I want to meet Anna!" Kira stood up and finished her ice cream,

"I highly advise you not to," said Yoh with a sweatdrop.

"I'll go back with you, Yoh, if you don't mind. I want to see Ren again," said Shiow standing up,

"Well, alright," said Yoh.

"You two go back to where we're staying at," said Shiow,

"Sure," said Chris,

"Tell me what Anna was like when you get back!" said Kira and those two went off in a different direction taking their spirits with them of course.

Amidamaru talked with Shami.

"Man, I'm going to be in so much trouble," said Yoh,

"Doesn't anyone stand up to Anna?" Shiow asked as the two walked.

"Well, no on one except Ren," said Yoh.

"Of course, Ren doesn't like people pushing him around, trust me I know," said Shiow.

Yoh did a small laugh,

"What's so funny?" Shiow asked,

"How Ren and Anna are alike,"

"But the way you described Anna was nothing like Ren," said Shiow.

"Well…" Yoh thought a moment,

"Well the temper, I agree," said Shiow and the two laughed.

Then it was a few moments of silence.

"Thanks for letting me train with you for the day. And I think it's nice of you to give treats to your friends, you do that often?" Yoh asked.

"Yeah, they deserve it, and it keeps them going if it's sweets," said Shiow.

"Hey that's true!" said Yoh and laughed.

"You know, they told me you can be shy yet tough. And that you're a loner sometimes, did something happen to you that you would like to talk about?" Yoh asked with a concerned face,

"…No, its okay Yoh," said Shiow.

"Shiow Ying, can I sneak out and see you again tomorrow?"

"I thought you wanted to train with me a for a day," said Shiow as she raised and eyebrow,

"Yeah, but, I want to get to know you better!" said Yoh with a smile.

Shiow gave a small grin,

"Thanks Yoh…" she said.

And before anything else could be said.

"YOH ASAKURA!" Yoh shuddered and the two looked at you yelled at him even though Yoh's got a good idea who.

"Oops, I didn't know we reached here," said Yoh with a sweatdrop.

"Um, before you yell at Yoh again, it's completely my fault," said Shiow standing up for Yoh.

"And who are you?" Anna asked with her arms crossed.

"Um, a friend-" Yoh cut her off,

"I met her and she's a new friend, so we hung out and I lost track of time?" Yoh tried to think up of a good excuse.

"You think I was born yesterday!" Anna exclaimed and took Yoh inside.

"Thanks for bring Yoh back but you can go now," said Anna,

"Yes, but can I-" Anna shut the door.

"-See Ren?"

The Shiow could hear shouts from the inside and she got a sweatdrop,

"Yoh wasn't kidding. Anna must really want Yoh to become Shaman King," said Shiow and thought a moment,

"Why does he want to be Shaman King?" she asked herself.

Please R and R.
