Chapter One:

Hao walked down the dusty street in Patch Village towards the Arena where the Shaman battles are held. He heard someone walking behind him and turned to see who it was.

"What is it Hao-sama," Marion asked.

"Go on ahead and get our seats," Hao said, "I'll be along shortly. I just remembered that I have to go and do something before the fight. Don't worry I won't be late."

Marion nodded and the rest of Hao's group followed her into the Arena. Hao stared at the empty street in front of him.

"I know you're there shintaku (oracle) shaman," Hao said, "Come out and tell me why you are still following me. Or do I have to burn down this part of the village to find you?"

A 15 year old girl came out from the alley way looking at Hao the enitre time. She was dressed in a black skirt and white tank top with a fishnet tank top over it. Four black belts dangled from her skirt that came to the top of her black boots that came up to her knees. Her red hair was tied up in a pony tail with a black ribbon, stopping two inches above her elbows.

"I come bearing a message from the gods Hao Asakura," the girl said, "Your death is drawing near hi (fire) shaman."

"Tell your pathetic gods that I will die permanently once my vision is completed," Hao said bitterly, "Now if you don't mind, I have a shaman battle to go and watch."

"Before the end Hao," the girl said as Hao turned to walk away, "You will finally no longer be alone."

Hao turned around to argue with the female shaman just to see that she was no longer there.

"Whatever," Hao said turning and walking towards the stadium, "I've always been alone and always will be alone."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hao sat down as Silva got up and began to talk. Marion just stared at him as Hao stared at Silva with a bored expression on his face. Marion looked at Silva, taking very little interest in the talking.

"Today we have a very special battle indeed," Silva said holding out his arms, "Team Kamis' Metsuki (Gods' Eyes) against Team Phantom Moon. A three on three battle..."

Hao caught a glimpse of the people on Kamis' Metsuki. His eyes widened a little as he saw the girl that he had met earlier in the street outside of the Arena. She was chatting with a blue haired girl and a purple haired girl.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Violet, Lieta I'll be fine," Sakura the girl that Hao met earlier said.

"But Sakura," Violet as you can guess the purple haired girl said, "It's a three vs three battle. They'll pummel you."

"I know what I am doing," Sakura said, "They under estimate us because we are girls. I'll show them a thing or two about Kamis' Metsuki."

"Sakura," Lieta blue haired chick said, "If we have to drag you out of here, you owe me 1000 yen."

"Fine," Sakura said, "and if I win, you owe me 1000 yen and will do my chores at the house for a whole 2 weeks so that I can devote more of my time to training."

"Deal," Lieta said.

Sakura walked out towards the center of their half of the arena.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hao watched as Sakura walked out towards the center of the arena. Silva watched as a fairy spirit came up and whispered something into his ear.

"Now this is indeed going to be an interesting fight," Silva said, "Kamis' Metsuki's own Sakura is going up against Team Phantom Moon on her own."

Hao watched with mild interest as Sakura pulled out her staff. A curved metal blade was on either end of the staff.

Sakura just stood there as the three boys did oversoul and ran towards her. An angel spirit appeared behind Sakura as she began to chant softly. The angel split into two forms, one was an angel of heaven and the other was its opposite, the fallen angel. Sakura just stared at the boys as they ran towards her.

"Ranpu (Light) into the jacket," Sakura yelled.

Ranpu the angel of light went into Sakura's jacket creating a pair of white angel wings coming out of Sakura's back.

"Kuragari (Darkness) into the staff," Sakura yelled as she flew up.

Kuragari the fallen angel went into Sakura's staff, making it emit a dark purple color. Sakura flew up to the rim of the arena bowl and looked down at the three boys stared up at her in Shock. Sakura smiled and disappeared, reappearing right next to one of the boys.

The boy punched at Sakura. Sakura easily dodged it by taking a step to the left and smacked at the boy with the side of her staff. The boy slashed at her with his sword. Sakura split the staff in two right at the middle. Sakura began to slash and dodge the attacks of all three boys as Hao continued to watch with mild interest.

Sakura knocked one after one of the three boy out. Silva raised one arm and pointed towards Sakura and her team mates as Sakura flew towards them.

"The winner is Kamis' Metsuki," Silva said.

As the crowd began to file out of the arena Hao stood up and stared at Sakura. Sakura's gaurdian spirits vanished at a wave of her hand as she turned and looked at Hao. THey both stared at eachother, wondering what the other was thinking.

"Hao-sama," the blue haired Kanna said, "It is time to go."

"Do not try to command me Kanna," Hao said looking at the older shaman, "or else I would have to kill you for thinking that you are higher than me. Go back to our house my team, I will be along when I am finished here."

Hao looked down at Sakura again to see her walking towards the locker rooms. Hao began to walk down the stairs and headed towards the same locker room, wanting to talk to the red headed shintaku.
