Team Sun and Moon were hanging out at their training place. They weren't training this time though.
"WE'RE WHAT?" Chris and Kira exclaimed.
"We have to, Yoh and his friends…something about them just makes me think it's possible for them to save this world from Hao," said Shiow.
"I said Hao is pure evil didn't I?" Chris asked,
"Hao is not pure evil…he's just doing really evil things…" said Shiow.
"I'm telling you, that guy's bad to the bone….anyway, I'm going against what you say, I'm going to fight," said Kira.
"Yeah, how else are any of us three going to get our dreams to come true?" Chris asked,
"Especially if our dreams are to help those out there in need!" said Kira.
"Ask Yoh and he'll fulfill those dreams for you," said Shiow.
"That lazy guy won't stand a chance at the Shaman crown, I'll defeat him 1-2-flat," said Chris.
"Okay, good idea," said Kira.
Chris did an anime fall.
"WHAT?"
"Yoh's got spirit, I think he stands a chance," said Kira.
"You two are both nuts," said Chris.
"I'm not nuts, I just…don't know what to believe in anymore," said Shiow.
"I'm not nuts, because nuts are those tiny things that squirrels eat," said Kira.
"So…you guys agree?" Shiow asked,
"I'm outvoted anyway, okay we forfeit this match," said Chris.
Later on that day, Chris was finishing up the sword with his spirit.
"We did it Shirako," said Chris.
"Yes…we have," said Shirako.
Chris puts the sword to the side,
"You don't need to be here anymore," said Chris.
"…I know,"
"Before you go to the other side, lets give this sword to Shiow Ying, she needs it," said Chris.
"Yes, agreed, it's going to be her most powerful sword," said Shirako.
The two went to find Shiow Ying.
"And then, Anna said she's Yoh's fiancée!"
"…Are you waiting for me to react or something?" Shiow asked,
"…YES!"
"It makes sense, the Asakuras won't just let anyone marry into their family. Kind of like my family…before they died…" said Shiow.
"Okay, if you don't want to talk about is then we can just change the subject," said Kira.
"Shiow Ying! Kira!"
"Join us, Chris! We're going to jump off the waterfall soon!" said Kira.
"(sweat drop) Um, okay, but you never did before. Anyway, we did it guys, we finished Shirako's sword!"
"Awesome!" said Kira,
"Nice," said Shiow.
"And we decided to give it to you, Miss Shing," said Shirako,
"What? Really?"
"Yes, I don't need another one," said Chris.
"Yeah, you have like 20 at your home," said Kira.
"2/3 of it belongs to my parents," said Chris.
"Well, if it's really okay," said Shiow.
"Of course, you need to break through that rock in the forest right?" Chris reminded,
"True," said Shiow and took the sword,
"Thanks guys,"
"The pleasure was ours," said Shirako,
"Welcome," said Chris,
"It was no big deal!" said Kira,
"You didn't do anything," said Chris with a small sweat drop,
"Did to! I brought you that half-made sword!"
Shiow Ying went back to the forest again.
"Okay, lets see how strong this sword is," said Shiow and sliced the rock straight down the middle.
"Looks real strong to me," said Shami.
Shiow started poking through the ground with the sword until she hit something and started digging it up.
She found small box, looked expensive too.
"You ready, Shami?" Shiow asked,
"Yes." Shiow opened it to reveal a pendent. But it was more a like a very big locket.
Shiow opened it.
"There's a note a in here," said Shiow,
"If you wouldn't mind, can you open it up but let me read it myself?" Shami asked,
"Sure," and Shiow did just that.
"So, I guess this is goodbye, we're forfeiting the match anyway today," said Chris.
"Yes,"
"Shiow Ying will take care of that sword, but I'm going to make one in your memory! How's that?" Chris asked,
"I'd be honored," said Shirako.
"CHRIS!"
Kira just ruined the moment,
"WHAT?"
"Get down from the waterfall and have lunch!" Kira called,
"COMING!"
"So, when are you planning to leave?" Chris asked,
"Now I guess…it was an honor to fight by your side Master Chris Sun,"
"I'm just glad I was able to work with you, I'll…always remember you as my best friend," said Chris.
"Yes, Master Chris. Say goodbye to Lady Kira and Lady Shiow Ying,"
"You know I will, so ya, buddy,"
Shirako started to cross to the other side and wasn't afraid to shed a tear for centuries.
For Chris, he wasn't afraid to shed a tear either after all his years of learning to be stubborn. But whipped it away when he went to lunch with Kira. For if Kira saw, he'd never hear the end of it.
Shami was crying,
"Shami, what's wrong?" Shiow asked,
"Now I know what really happened…Miss Shiow Ying, thank you for helping me. Now I don't have a reason to continue trying to find the answers," said Shami.
"What should we do with your stuff?" Shiow asked,
"I don't need them anymore, because I can let it go now," said Shami.
"Can I keep them? In your memory?" Shiow asked,
"I'd be honored."
"…So, you're going to leave? When?"
"…Probably now. I'm glad I was able to work with you," said Shami.
"I'm just glad I was able to meet you when I was in the dumps," said Shiow.
"Say goodbye to your friends for me, and be careful around Hao. I'll miss you,"
"Me too…." And they had a small emotional goodbye.
Shiow Ying watched as Shami crossed to the other side.
She sighed and went back to meet with her friends.
"I can't believe…THAT YOU TWO LET THEM GGOOOOOOO!"
"Shirako's been under a lot of stress, I don't need him to die twice," said Chris.
"I don't think that's even possible! I understand Shiow Ying, but YOU?"
"Kira! We were going to forfeit against Yoh anyway! I can't be Shaman King and I can't keep Shirako for myself when he can live happily without me," said Chris.
"But you guys, what about Hao? He could kill you guys off easily now!" said Kira.
"I'm not afraid," said Chris.
"He didn't kill me the first time or second or other times why would he try now?" Shiow asked,
"I DON'T KNOW!"
"Look Kira, our match is going to start, go there and tell them we forfeit," said Chris.
"Fine," said Kira and stomped off.
"I just hope we did the right thing," said Shiow,
"They deserved to live in peace," said Chris.
"They forfeit?" Ren asked after Kira walked into the battle stadium and told the council ref.
"Looks like it," said Horo.
"They must really be afraid then," said C.L.
"I highly doubt it," said Ren.
"Hm…wonder why they forfeit," said Yoh,
"Maybe we can ask them when we see them," said Faust.
"Yes, maybe they were just too afraid to face us!" said Ryu with confidence.
"I don't know, that doesn't sound like them at all," said Yoh,
"I agree, they must have good reasons," said Faust.
"Well, well, well, that was unexpected. I thought she was going to fight," said Hao watching from a bird's eye view.
"Hao-Sama, I wish to know why you want Shiow Ying Shing to stay alive." Opacho asked,
"It's simple, she's like a key to a door and she doesn't even know it. A key to the Great Spirit," said Hao.
"How do you know it's her?" Opacho asked,
"Because…she was able to stop me from killing her long ago when we first met…" said Hao.
"I understand, Hao-Sama,"
"Besides…she's the only one that doesn't think I'm a crazy maniac trying to destroy the world," said Hao with that usual smile of his.
"Yoh," Kira walked up to Yoh.
"Yes, Kira?"
"When you become Shaman King, can you…help my team fulfill our goals?" Kira asked,
"Uh, of course! Why shouldn't I?" Yoh answered cheerfully.
"Uh, okay thanks," said Kira.
"But why did you guys forfeit?" Faust asked,
"Uh, because Shiow said so. Don't ask me why because I don't know. Then she and Chris let their spirits cross to the other side, so we couldn't fight anyway," shrugged Kira.
"THEY LET THERE SPIRITS GO?"
"What happens if Hao tries to get them? What will they do then?" Yoh asked,
"How do I know? I'm not that worried because Hao never kills us, he just wounds us really bad. And I still can't see how Shiow can't see what I see that Hao is a crazy maniac trying to destroy the world," said Kira.
