XxxMay at the train stationxxX

May jumped as the train whistled it's horn, telling everyone that it has arrived at it's destination. May wiped her eyes as she straightened herself from her long slumber. The ride was shaky, but it help her fall asleep as she stared out the window, most of the time, thinking about her sisters and the good old days before they meet Ren and his family. It was a good thing too because her little dream was getting hot. Brushing off imaginary dust off her dress, she grabbed her suitcase and left her temporary room to the doors.

May step out the train and into the new world called Japan. Her eyes were filled with lights; Lights were everywhere her eyes could see. May had to blink a few times for her eyes to adjust to all these bright neon lights. She unfolded a peice of paper and look at her new surroundings. Before Ren left, Jun gave May the place where they would be staying in Japan. May kept the paper close to her at all times, but now looking at this neon-light wonderland made her head fuzzy.

"HOW am I suppose to find them if I can't even make out any of these words. Dang it, so bright here. I feel like I'm staying at rainbow noodles!" May exaggerated in her head. She decided to go to the closes police department and get directions there. As she walked away from the subway, she felt a presence that she didn't find pleasent. She decided to shurg it off and go straight for help. She blended in well with most of the crowd, not too much of a sore thumb, but the presence behind her kept lingering. May decided to walk faster. and loose it inside a nearby shop. May caught her breath as it finally vanished. She collected herself and left the random store she walked in only to be stopped.

"Young miss! Excuse me for one second!" May stopped and turned to see a petite figure , sitting alone in a corner, sipping on a hot beverage. May soon realized that this must be a small noodle shop, just noticing the people eating ramen. The smell of good seasoning and eggs made her stomach rumble. The shady figure raised her hand for the waiter.

"My guest has arrived. Green tea for her as well." the feminine figure spoke soft enough for May to overhear him. The figure ushered her to come over and have a seat. May shrugged and took a seat across from him. She might as well, she might even get directions to where Ren was staying. The waiter came back with hot tea and asked what May would like. May didn't have time to look at the menu for the feminine voice spoke out again.

"Same as mine, please?" the waiter nodded and left. May huffed at him, sipping on tea. Their meals were brought out faster than May could guzzle down her hot tea. Pouring more tea, the waiter left them to their food. Eating in silence, May took in the stranger's features: a copper complexion to his skin with a little bit a olive. His high cheekbones gave the shadow a happy look to his face. His long jet black hair was braided into two thick braids that hung down his chest. His attire was a Native indian look, a small shawl covering his clothes, but by noticing two buldges in front of the stranger, he was a she. The stranger noticed May taking in her looks and smiled.

"You are probably wondering why I called you to eat with me." she finally looks up at May with emerald green eyes. She slurped up the rest of her ramen before slowly enjoying her tea. May continued to stare also reaching for her suitcase reading to leave, but notice her oracle bell was missing. Franitcally, she quickly peeped inside her suicases and pockets, but no oracle bell.

" The oracle bell you once had, belongs to your older sister, Xin, am I right?" May quickly whipped around to question her but saw the mysterious woman pointing to the front door. May looked up to see a small raccoon walking out the door , and in it's mouth, Xin's oracle bell.

"Hey! Get back here-" May jumped out of her seat when a hand grabbed her arm.

"Hey you, no leave until you pay!" one of the shop's waiter's shouted, holding her back.

"What? But the lady-" May saw no one at their table. Only a note saying she was paying. "EEEEEEEEEEEHH?"

XXXXX

"After I skin that raccoon, I'm hunting down that hobo lady!" May swore in her head, sprinted out to catch up with the slick raccoon. She finally spotted the creature, crossing the four way street. May made a run straight through the busy street-right into the fast moving traffic!

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! May quickly jumped over cars and landing safely on the sidewalk faster than the raccoon could cross the street, making the raccoon make a run for it. May continued for normal sprint pace and chase it thorugh alley ways and over trash bins. Finally reaching an empty park, May jumped high into the air and above the fast raccoon.

"I said, get back here!" May barked as she quickly took out a kunai and flung it at the raccoon to scare it. The raccoon jumped quickly out of the blade's way as it now was stuck in woodchips and dirt. May landed next to the kunai and quickly grabbed it, scanning the quiet playground. The raccoon slipped into the dark without a trace. May just stood there and listen for claws.

STRATCH! STRATCH! STRACTH!

May threw her kunai again at the tree only for it to be caught. May saw the raccoon from before, but now, it was holding on to someone's shoulder. May's eyes widened.

"Yo-yoooooouuu!" May pointed at the shadow now coming to the light. "The Native hobo lady!" May shrieked at her. May fumed at her as she stood there smilin gdown at her. "You owe me money. Cough it UP!" May spat at the woman, earning her another chuckle.

"You are a chip off the old block, eh Miss May?" May jumped a little at her name mentioned.

"You, know my name?" May asked.

"As well as your sisters, Ming Ming and Xin, the one who thought she could cheat you into the Tournament-" the woman stopped talking as May was standing in front of her face.

"My sister is not a cheat! Don't you dare talk bad about her!" May hissed at her. The woman only raised an eyeborw at May then she shook her head.

"You are not understanding me May. You see, Xin has earned her way into the Shaman Tournament, and this oracle bell-" she held up the stolen pager. " does not have your name on it." May reached for the pager only for the woman to fling it in the air. May wacthed as a tiny bird sailed down and grabbed it from midair and flew away. May stayed flabbergasted for a minute before striking the woman only for her to be gone from her standing place. May turned to see her now on the ground smiling again.

"I think it's about time I introduced myself. My name is Litonya of the Patch tribe, and I will be your official for the Shaman Tournament." She gently pulled off the small shawl around her shoulder to reveal her attire: a small vest with small laces on each of her sides and multiple-colored beads hanging from the bottom, a yellow dress underneath with a trail of black and blue feathers lazily wrapped around her hips. Three small red and green feathers over her right ear and a few soft violet African foxglove flowers tied next to them along with more colorful beads. Triangle patterns were embroided all over her dress, small vest and dark brown boots. She had bracletes on her wrists and the boots attached with pretty colored stones and tiny red and green feathers as well.

May took in her attire also noticing that she was surrounded by tiny balls of green and yellow lights. She also noticed the raccoon from before had appeared and rested back on her shoulder. It too was shining.

"The rules are easy: damage any part of my body and you pass. Fail, and you have to wait another 500 years for the next one, which I highly doubt you will get your second chance." she giggled. "You have ten minutes to strike me. Time starts when you make the first move." Litonya turned her back on May as she contemplated on what to do.

May was still thinking to herself. "Hmm, so I just need to make one hit on her body and I'm eligable to participate in the Shaman Tournatment. Hmm! I won't need ten whole minutes!" May smirked to herself as she weilded her long black tong fa blades, one a bit longer than the other.

"DAIYU!" May shouted into the night and the wind started picking up speed as it wrapped around May. A tall millky shadow stood behind her, wearing a dark green mask over her mouth and her ninja attire was colors of black and dark jade green. Daiyu has long tong fa blades as well. Daiyu says nothing as she glares at Litonya's back, and raises one blade to her face.
May wastes no time in the first attack as she charges quickly in front of Litonya as she was turning to face May. May sliced Litonya down her back, but the strike didn't complete itself as she was repeled back into the ground. May quickly got to her feet to notice the raccoon had pushed the attack back at May. It chuckled at May, making her mad.

"Impressive speed. Very nice. Your sister was just as fast, but I know you can go even faster, eh?" Litonya looked back at May with the smile that May was starting to grow agitated by. May looked at the raccoon to notice the belt of feathers around Litonya's waist was tied with a raccoon tail. May quickly figured out Litonya's trick. May once again chraged at her but quickly from behind her to in front and drove the blade tips toward her chest, but was quickly grabbed, with Litonya's hands!

May blinked a few times in disbelief. "Sh-sh-she grabbed my blades, with her OWN HANDS?" May stared at her not bleeding hands. "WHY aren't they bleeding? WHY aren't you not screaming in pain?" May yelled in frustration. Liytonya gigled in delight, seeing May in a panick.

"Having a hard time here?" Litonya laugh as she tapped her fingernails on the blades in her hands which made much louder noise than ordinary nails, and kick May, hard in the gut, away from her. May heaced for breath as she staggered up to her wobbly legs. May noticed quickly as well.

"Yo-yyy-you're w-ear-ing raccoon nails over your own." Litonya grinned. "That's so gross!" May bellowed
"On the contrary, I'm wearing gloves that have nails of a raccoon. I can tell you already know my secret; using my spirit's furyoku. Like so-" with one swift of her hand, she clawed the air, and a powerful slash knocked winded May off her feet again. May had had ENOUGH of getting hit, and she was getting to the five minute warning. May had an idea.

Just as May was to excecute her idea, Litonya was in her face, and the next second was her boot to May's chin.

"1000 HUMMINGBIRDS TO THE SKY BACK FLIP!" Litonya yelled as her back-flip kicked May into the air. May felt like a thousand needles were poking her skin with much force, it felt like her jaw would pop out of socket soon. As Litonya landed and waited for May to fall, instead, the hummingbirds were hurled to the ground like rain. Litonya watched in horror as they fell and no May in sight. Every hummingbird had a long thck needle peirced through them.

"But, but ho-" Litonya didn't finish as she saw May land perfectly on her feet right infront of Litonya, her tong fa sheathed. A few long needles were in between her finger as May looked up at Litonya.

" I think I passed." May smirked

Litonya raised an eyebrow and then noticed the hummingbirds had a different color to them, but then she realised that the needles had May's spirit embedded in each one. Litonya also noticed a long needle planted next to her boots and smiled.

"Yes. I think you have." Her dress soon tore in half, POOF! but she had a spare under neath.

"WHAAAAAT? You had another dress underNEATH that one?" May exclaimed as Litonya shook the meesed-up one.

"Well, I did say anywhere on the body, and come on now, I had to come prepared for something like this. A good thing too!" Litonya placed her hands on her hips as she stared at a tired May.
"And as I said, you very own oracle bell, as promised!" Litonya waved an oracle bell in front of May's face. May let it drop in her hand. The screen showed her name and hometown.

"Wow! this is new!" May stared in wonder of her very own oracle bell, as Daiyu stood behind her eyeing at the new contraption herself not saying anything.

"The oracle bell is like a pager, letting you know when and where you fights will be held. The fights are at random, so be prepared. You get three fights. Lose two fights and you are disqualified from the Tournament." Litonya informed her on the new rules. May stood up, placing her bell pager into her suitcase. Litonya tied on her shawl and dusted herself off before leaving.
"Good luck on your fights. I can tell you have more fight in you. I can't wait to witness her true power. I'm sure it's a sight to see." Litnoya smiled big as her back soon lit up with green, wihte and red lights and was lifted into the air by bright wings. She quickly dissapeared into the starry night. After she left, May shook her head.

"She must have a disease on smiling too much." She chuckled to herself, and made her way out of the park to the nearest hotel.

XXXxxxXXX

"Crap! I keep getting lost, and I completely forgot to ask that native hobo directions!" May groaned to herself. She was too busy rambling on to herself to see a group of men coming her way. She bumped right into the tallest one of the group.

"Ouch!" the man fell as May held hher nose. Her suitcase close to her face just in case they struck her face.

"Hey punk! Watch out where you-" he froze as May lowered her suitcase from her face.

"Omigoodness! I'm so sorry! I wasn't watching where I was going!" May panicked, not to make the man mad. The tall man with the weird hair due froze at May's angelic face. His hair popped into a heart as the rest just stared. May mentally sweat dropped.

"Have these guys ever heard of RUDEness?" May mentally sighed. Men. *gasp* Maybe they can take me to a police station!
She kept up the act.

"Fear not my young maiden! For III am the one who has committed the mstake." he sweet-talked to her. May giggled.

"Well, aren't you a gentlemen?" she smiled, sending their hearts ramming against their chests.

"She so CUUUTE!" May quickly raised her hand to get their attention.

"If it isn't a bother to you, I was hoping-" the tall weirdo cut in.

"A date for two? Already our minds think a like! I, Ryu, leader of the dead enders will accompy you this very night!" he smile with glee as she pulled her along to there "best place." May was too fazzed to realize she was being kidnapped. She woke up from her dazed mind to see she was inside a run-down chinese restaurant. The group of men were busy preparing for the big boss's date. May find her suitcase sitting inside her lap. She quickly hugged it close to her chest just as the big boss approached her.

"Hello my sweet!" he chirped. BAM! Ryu got his face inplanted into the ground by May's suitcase.

"Where am I?" she shuddered at the run-down appeal. Quickly recovering from the smack on the head, he answered.

"Why my dear, this, is Spicy hot Dragon's Breath Restaurant! (completely made that up! teehee!) Today we are guest of their wonderful chinese cuisine!" May jumped to her feet at food for she wan't able to finish her bowl of noodles at the ramen shop from earlier. She mentally curse the sneaky raccoon and it's owner.

"What will we be having for dinner?" May quickly perked up. Silence filled the air for no one would answer the question. Ryu was the first to speak up.

"Well, you see, we haven't-" May quickly cut in.

"You dragged me to a run-down chinese restaurant and have no money? OR FOOD? What are you? Homeless?" DUN! More silence. May was getting aggrivated. She grabbed her suitecase and stormed to the door.
"You obviously have no respect in treating women right-"

"Better more trust-passing into people's properties."Another voice spoke from the door, sounding very angry. May slowly turned to the small shadow as the gang of men jumped out of their skins.

"This is my new apartment, now if you don't mind-" Ryu jumped in front of May, pushing for back.

"Well listen here pointy-head boy, this here is the new best place for the dead enders, and not only that but me and my date... what's your name little miss?" Ryu turned to May.

"Um, it's May."

"Thank you. NOW me and my date Miss May will be dining-"

"May? Your here?" the shadow dissapear from the door and right in front of May's face, completely ignoring Ryu. May's eyes got bigger as the shadow's face became more clearer. That voice!

"Ma-m-mmMaster REN?" May exclaimed with excitement as she hugged him.

"MASTER?" Ryu and the gang jumped her response. Ren's cheeks turned very little pink as May hugged him.

"I-I missed you." spat very quietly. Ryu shook a finger at May.

"Your-your-yyy-yy-your THIS punk's master? I will not have it-" Ryu soon lost his voice by the long blade poiking at his neck.

"LEAVE. My final warning!" Ren hissed, glaring directly at Ryu with peircing yellow eyes. May looked at Ryu with pleading eyes.

"Please." May asked. Ryu took a step back. "But! Young maiden-" Ryu flinched as Ren took May with his other arm and gave her cheek a big wet kiss. May felt her cheeks heat up turning hot pink.

"M-MmmMASTER REN!" May exclaimed, trying to pull away from Ren's strong arm, but no prevail. The gang and Ryu shook in horror as the young maiden was being played with. May shuddered and begged for him to stop softly at the kiss attacks Ren was giving May at her jaw and now her exposed neck. Using Ren for support, May relaxed against him, catching her breath.

"If I see any of you cockroaches touching my May again, I'll have your heads on a sliver platter. GOT IT?" Ren spat with much venom. The gang lefted quickly, leaving Ryu still stnding there.

"HOW can you say she's yours? You have no proof!" Ren quickly raked open May's dress, revealing her whole neck showing off a few huge dark hickeys. May's face turned beet red in embarrassement.

"See? These marks were made by me." Ren said blunty, hoping this message would get through his thick skull. Ryu shook in horror at the nasty marks on the young maiden. He high-tailed it out of the restaurant.

"I will NEVER forgive you, you-you MONSTER!" he screamed out into the streets, crying all the way. Ren took deep breaths, trying to calm himself down. May sunk to the ground, shaking from the early exposure. May fumbled with her buttons trying to close her dress. Ren looked down at her and sighed.

"Here-" Ren squated down in front of her and quickly buttoned her dress. After doing so recieved a punch to his cheek. May huffed.

"How could DO such a thing? I'm your maid, not your toy puppet!" She grabbed her suitcase and stormed out the door.

"And just where do you think you're going?" Ren asked, grabbing her arm. May twilred at Ren, yanking her arm away.

"I'm going to the subway hold to grab Blackberry. I left her there so when I found you-" Hearing it's name being called, the horse neighed to get May's attention. May gasped and ran to the voice.

"Blackberry! I'm so sorry!" she ran to her horse and gently hugged her head and stroked her neck. Ren watched from the the doorway as May comforted her horse, kissing her big nose, and gave a small smile. May turned but quickly huffed and pouted away from him. Ren grimaced at May ignoring him.

"Come on. I'll -I'll show you to your room." Ren quickly dissapears up the stairs.

After being showned her room and getting in a shower, May jumped into her new bed and relaxed. She had a long day. She reached for her oracle bell and stared at the strang pager. "I made it! Not only getting myself into the Shaman Tournament, but finding Ren as well." She rolled off the bed, walked up to the window and stared at the first quarter moon.

"Xin. Ming Ming. I'm all right. Please be okay." May prayed at the moon. May soon felt arms wrap around her waist, weaving inside her silk robe. She jumped a little at his touch.

"Oh May. I'm happy you're here. I've been sooo lonely." Ren cooed at her ear and licked her earshell. May felt her knees shake and her breath unevened as Ren's hands kept roaming her body. Ren enjoyed her harsh breathing and rosy cheeks and smiled evil, turning May's face towards showing off his smile. May's face brightened and quickly turned away. Ren then planted May to her bed, pinning himself on top and her robe slightly opened. May gasped.

"Master REN!" Ren softly blushed and finally gave in to his desire.

XXXxxXXX

May was the first to wake up after the first round, hearing loud beeping noises. She reached for the beeping pager on her suitcase, getting out of Ren's loose embrace. Missing her warmth, Ren turned into the pillow and snuggled with it until May came back. The pager displayed details about the first preliminary line-up.

"Could this be? My-My first fight?" May gasped.
