Okay so Yoh and Hao look alike, but how could those two possibly be related in any way? This is so weird… Is that the reason Hao wants Yoh to get stronger? And for some reason, he knows something about my past, how the hell does this make any sense?
Eh, I will just stop thinking about this; all it does is giving me a headache.
We haven't been walking too long but I feel that we were much closer to the Patch village than five minutes ago.
I did feel bad for Ryu though, he's carrying Hao's huge minion… how he's able to do that is beyond me.
"Master Yoh! I'm sensing something strange…" Amidamaru said, he sounded worried.
"Huh? You too, Amidamaru?" Tokagero asked.
Bason joined in, "Then it isn't just me."
"What do you mean?" Ren looked at his spirit but got an answer from mine.
The second Sakuya showed herself she said, "It's like someone is calling us."
"Hey, check this out!" we heard Horohoro yell. When we looked at his direction we saw some stairs that lead to something that seemed to have lots of different ways to take.
I will say it again, if we get stuck here and walks in a lot of different paths, I feel even more sorry for Ryu. "It's like a maze!"
"Wow.."
"But I didn't notice any forks on the way…" Lyserg said.
"I was following you guys, who were in the lead?" I asked confused.
"I was just following along!"
"Aren't you supposed to be the leader, Yoh?" Horohoro sighed.
"Strange, we all choose the same route instinctively?" Ren said.
What is this supposed to mean?
"Your souls were guided here…" I heard Hao's minion say.
"You're awake, Bill?" Horohoro asked clearly surprised over the football guy's sudden consciousness.
"I'm okay now, put me down." Ryu did as he was told and sat down on the ground next to Bill, breathing heavily.
"You're not okay! You will die if you don't take it easy!" Ryu could barely form the sentence because of his lack of breath for the moment.
"You'll be dead soon too…" he answered, looking at Ryu who actually looked quite dying."Sorry but I don't want your charity, so I'll repay you for saving me."
Well… that's actually quite nice. Hard to believe that a 'friend' of Hao's would be ready to help us.
He sat up from the ground, leaning on one of the caves walls and said, "This is the true road that only opens for the chosen shamans."
"The true road?"
"I've heard lord Hao talk about it. There are lots of different traps here. There are hidden doors and passages in this already complicated maze. Think about it. People discovered this place for over 400 years ago. That place would have been plundered and destroyed long ago."
"That place? You mean the Patch village?" Ren said showing a rare interest.
"Yes, there's a Patch village there, but your true destination is That place. The Patch are just the guardians that protect it, generation after generation. The protectors of the great celestial holy ground."
"Celestial… holy ground?" Yoh wondered.
"That's all I can tell you. But if you are such great shamans the spirits will show you the Patch and you will reach it. Well, feel better? I have paid you back in full. Now get out of here, if you don't, I will have to do my duty and kill you."
"You rotten…" Ren mumbled but was stopped by Yoh.
"Don't force him to talk Ren."
"But Yoh…!"
"Bill, what are you going to do now?"
"I will make it there on my own. I'm the toughest of Hao's minions. Big guy Bill won't die… that easily…." He gave a small chuckle and then passed out. I heard Ren say Yoh's name and he answered, "All we can do is to continue forward and be prepared on the worst."
I know that he is the enemy, but I hope Bill makes it to the village. Since he helped us it shows that he couldn't possibly be completely evil or whatever those X-Laws would say if there were here.
We then continued to walk, letting our spirits guide us until we all suddenly felt a strong light shine in our eyes.
Where am I?
A city?
How did I get here?
That face, a woman… mom? No, I don't know her.
A child, so sad eyes… What's going on?
The woman… she screams! It hurts… why? My head…
Like I know her? I hate this… her.. Them, everything!
How could she do that?
Can't breathe… the air is gone… Why?
That kid…
And those persons…
Those familiar faces…
What the…? That dream… Where am I?
I was lying in a bed in a pretty big room with stone walls.
As I continued to look around, trying to figure out why and how I got here I heard a nice familiar voice.
"So you decided to wake up now?" I looked to my right where I saw a face I hadn't seen in a long time, sitting on a chair in a corner.
" Nichrom? What are you doing here?" I know I sounded kind of rude… I didn't mean to but that dream… I don't know.
"What are you so mad about? Never mind. I'm meeting you obviously."
Nichrom is the Patch that gave me the oracle bell, I don't know him that well, but I think Azami's dad told me that he is the little brother of another Patch named Chrom. I also know that Nichrom is really nice.
"But why? How did I get here and where are the others?" This was kind of confusing…
"They probably also fainted because of the vision."
"Vision?"
"You saw it, didn't you?" He looked more serious now, "The memories of the world that sleeps deep within your heart."
"Memories?" I remembered? No, that dream can't be it. The dream didn't make any sense like, at all!
Nichrom smiled and stood up, "Want to see what caused you the vision?" I simply nodded,
"Come on." He stood in front of a hole in the wall, probably used as a window, duh.
I got off the bed and stood beside him.
Wow!
I could see a big I don't even know! It was bright as hell though! It looked a little like a tornado, but it stayed in the same place and like I said, bright.
I could see different white animals in it, humans too! They didn't have any faces or anything, but they were all holding hands. "You have received a blessing from the Great Spirit."
Seriously? I'm feeling a little dizzy but this is still awesome!
"This is… the Great Spirit? That's right! I saw this thing when I came out of that cave…!"
Before I could look anymore, Nichrom turned me around so that I didn't look at it.
"You shouldn't look at it for too long. You will faint again if you do and aren't used to it."
"Fine…" His serious face turned into a smile again and he started to explain.
"As you see, the Great Spirit is a formless mass of souls. The Great Spirit is the wellspring of all the souls on earth and the destiny to which they return. When a shaman comes here and sees it, the great spring awakens memories sleeping deep within him or her. But some can't bear the impact of 5, 6 billion years of memories and never wakes up again."
… THANK GOD THAT I WOKE UP! Phew… I wonder how close I was to die… oh who cares! I am alive!
"The Shaman king will have the Great Spirit as his or her ally. Which contains the 5,6 billion year memory of this planet."
… Sweet! I think..
"Well anyway, congratulations, you have passed the first trial of the main competition."
"Really? Yay!" Without thinking, I jumped on Nichrom and hugged him tight, I could feel he was shocked. It was just an instinct!
We stood there for a few second until, "Great, you made it too, Yoh!" I heard Horohoro's voice yell from outside this room.
I let go of Nichrom who still looked shocked from my reaction.
Could I see a small blush on his face? Well to be honest, I didn't really think of it at that moment. But I do remember him looking cute as a button!
But anyway "Horohoro and Yoh are here? Dubble yay! Come on!" I grabbed his hand and ran out with him after me.
"Yoh! Horohoro!" They looked my way and smiled big, "So you made it to, Tsuki!" Horohoro yelled happily while Yoh continued to smile.
Hm, even though he is related to Hao and looks like him, their smiles are different.
Thank god for that. If they hadn't been I would probably have been mean to Yoh in accident.
"But where are the others?" Yoh asked.
I let go of Nichrom and answered "Dunno." So did Horohoro.
The three patches Silva, Kalim and Nichrom talked about where the others could be then Silva said something strange, "When I found them, Lyserg was already gone. If he's alive, his officiant must have taken him already."
"If he's still alive?" all three of us said at the same time.
"So what about the others?"
"Silva, aren't you in charge of Ren and Ryu too?" Yoh asked worried.
"Oh the humanity… I've looked everywhere, but I will never find him in this huge place…"
We looked to our left and saw a sad looking Ryu sitting on the floor. Isn't he happy that he made it too?
"Ryu!" He looked our way and answered, "Oh, Horohoro, Tsuki-chan, chief… you're awake…" Yep, I let him call me Tsuki-chan, cause I'm so nice! And he is my friend so yeah.
"I can't find Lyserg…!"
… Ryu really worries a lot, doesn't he?
"Ryu woke up early and I gave him permission to walk around."
"You should have told us!" wow… how the heck are we able to yell things exactly at the same time… well it is kind of cool!
"I'm sure that if something happens to Lyserg, we will hear about it. But I must say that Ren surprised me. Instead of fainting, he was gazing at the Great Spirit straight on when I got here."
He really is something! Oh, I just remembered!
"Um, does anyone of you happen to know of Azami and Akira is, my friends?"
Instead of Silva who I actually thought would speak, Nichrom said " Yeah, they woke up before you and got here a day before too. They are probably walking around somewhere."
"Thank God!" I hugged Nichrom again, what can I say? I like hugs and it's funny since he doesn't see it coming.
I don't know if I should go and look for them… I mean, Ryu said that this place was really big. But I should try… since they woke even before I even got here they might think I didn't make it… But every time I leave Yoh and the others something exciting happens!
Like, they get in a fight or finds out something important! … But we are in the village now so I don't think that something can happen…
God what should I do?
"Are you gonna look for those friends of yours?" Yoh suddenly asked.
"I don't know… it seems like every time I leave something important happens…"
"Well, I don't think anything will happen now that we are in the village. I can help you look if you want." So niiiiice….
I smiled, "Thanks, but you should rest! Besides, this place is full of shamans so I don't think that you would know if it were them even if you saw them."
He laughed a little and answered, "Yeah, I guess."
"Well, where should we meet later?"
"I dunno…"
"There's a big fountain in the Centrum of the village, it's easy to find so it's an excellent place to meet." Silva said with a smile.
We decided to meet there in about an hour or so. I then waved good bye to everyone, gave a last hug to Nichrom, just because of his funny faces and ran out to look for Azami and Akira.
Azami's POV:
I wonder if Tsukiko has made it to the village yet… what if she hasn't? Then what should we do?
God, my legs hurt… because of stupid Akira who made me change clothes I wore a pair of jeans shorts and a white tunic, then I fell in a bush full with thorns, that was no pleasant.
"You think Tsuki made it here?" I asked Akira who looked at me surprised, I hadn't said much since we got here and found out that she wasn't here yet.
"Of course she did. It's kind of hard for me to think that she hasn't."
"Yeah, you're right…"
We had walked for the whole day to see if we could find her, but finding Tsuki in this big village would not be easy.
Enough! "MATSUMOTO TSUKIKO! GET YOUR ASS HERE, RIGHT NOW!" I yelled the loudest I could. Akira looked at me with really big eyes, so did almost everyone else in this village. "Think she heard?"
" …. If she didn't, she must have turned deaf."
"Good." I started to look around in the village and saw… HOW CUTE!
A little kid! Really small! It was hanging around with some guy with long hair and a poncho. I want a kid here too! Hihi, the kid looks as shocked as the others!
I looked from the kid who said something to the older guy who then turned and smiled at me, then they both walked away.
They seem nice enough, unlike almost everyone else here.
I hope I get to talk to them sometime.
Tsukiko's POV:
"MATSUMOTO TSUKIKO! GET YOUR ASS HERE, RIGHT NOW!"
That voice! I recognize it!
I started to run the direction the voice came from.
I finally saw them.
They looked my way and began to run towards me and we gave each other a big, big hug!
"You made it here!" They both said in relief.
We then pulled away.
"When did you get here?" Akira asked, looking more happy than he usually does. Most of the time he just looks bored of something.
"I just woke up!"
"YAY!" Me and Azami jumped and hugged each other again while Akira began to regain his regular tired looking face, but still smiling.
"Oh!" I pulled away again,"I have some friends I want you to meet! I traveled here with them."
"Well, let's go and meet them then!" Azami said happily.
We were gonna go all the way to the fountain, but on the way I spotted the group who seemed to look around in the stores.
"Hey, there they are!" I said happily and ran to Yoh and the others, but there were a new person I never met there too.
"Yo, Tsuki!" Horohoro greeted me, "Who are they?" he pointed to Azami and Akira.
"These are my friends Azami and Akira!"
"Oh, nice to meet you!" Everyone said hi and then I asked the same, "Um, who are they?"
" Hm?" Yoh looked over to the blond girl, "That's right, you never met her. This is Anna."
"Hi!" I smiled. I knew who she was now, I've heard them talk about Yoh's fiancé. She was really pretty… "Nice to meet you, Anna. I'm Tsukiko."
"Likewise." She simply said. Not the social type I guess.
"Anyway, I'm glad you're okay. Why don't you come to my dormitory for now?" Yoh said.
"Okay, there's a lot I need to tell you." She answered.
"Hm, bringing a date to the shaman fight, that's just disrespectful!" I looked behind us and saw some black guy with what seemed like a jaguar spirit, "You all seem real chummy, but will you qualify for the next round?" he smiled, not a really kind smile, but more ' Ha ha, I'm mocking you.' Smile.
We all ignored him and decided to walk away but he stopped us by yelling, "Hey, listen to what I have to say! You realize that the next event is a tournament right? A tournament!"
We all turned our heads and Ryu repeated, "A tournament?"
"Did somebody say 'permanent'?" …. I'm just gonna pretend I didn't hear that lame joke. We started to walk again, "Wah! It's true, I'm not kidding!"
"What a strange kid…" Azami mumbled.
Without thinking twice Ren held the top of his spear in the guy's face, "If you have something to say, say it fast. Make another stupid pun, and I will cut you."
"I-I get it! It's no joke! I'm looking for team-mates."
"Team-mates?" Horohoro questioned.
"Yeah, team-mates. We're going back to Tokyo and have a tournament for the shaman fight. Its gonna be three against three, we are allowed to put our own teams. Anyone that can't form a team will be disqualified. From the looks of it, you guy's don't have the right number so I thought I would join, that's all. According to the records my tribe kept on the shaman fights, that's what's gonna happen next. I swear on my name."
"… And what is your name?" Ren asked.
"Chocolove." He smiled but that smile was destroyed by Ren who poked his nose with the spear.
Is he using a false name or what?
"OW! He stabbed me!"
"Is that your real name?"
"Of course it is!" I guess he doesn't.
Wow, talk about Ren being cranky! But the teams are only allowed to have three persons in them.
We are 7 persons… what should we do about that?
There was a loud sound in the air all of the sudden, "Sheesh, you better let me join you guys real quick… cause the toughest competitor and odds-on favorite just showed up."
"The toughest competitor? What do you mean?" I asked.
"You can hear the noise from the plaza? Almost every shaman in the fight knows about him. After all, he's lived over a thousand years just to be the shaman king. He's the 'star' man… with an army of loyal minions and an unstoppable flame. I'm talking about…"
Wait… 'Star man', unstoppable flame… I think I know where he's going with this… And 'a thousand year', what the hell?
"Hao." Shocker, "His team is the favorite of the three forces."
"The three… forces?"
What does that mean? There were a silence that seemed to last for minutes until Chocolove continued.
"The three... horses." Ren hit his head with the spear, with good reason, and asked "What three forces? I have never heard of them."
Does that guy not know that his jokes suck? He really tries though… I think?
I could tell that Azami was thinking the same thing.
"Look, there are three organizations competing in this fight. One of them is Hao's team. The other two were created to oppose Hao's team. There's Gandhara, a group of buddhist and the X-Laws."
"The X-Laws?" Ryu said surprised, Chocolove continued, "Oh, you've heard of them? Then you probably know that the leaders of all three teams are kami-class shamans."
Holy shit… I could see on the others faces that they probably thought the same as me.
"Kami… classes.." Akira said shocked.
"Cami….Sole." Okay freaky… he wears a frickin pink top now, how the heck he changed to it I don't know… he also do the flirt thing…
This time both Ren and Horohoro got pissed off and kicked his ass in a few seconds. That guy is really risking his life for those puns…
"Basically, a regular shaman would be a fool to go up against them…" well, at least he is persistent. I mean he continues to talk like nothing happened even though he just got beaten up… "But now back to the the fact that you need a three man team. And about 70% of the shamans here are already in one of those forces. That's why I've got to find some team-mates. Hey, you can believe me or not."
But we STILL need a third man in one of the teams… this kind of sucks.
"How did you get this information?" Ren asked kind of annoyed for some reason.
"Because information… is my weapon. To succeed in life the most important thing is to know your information. Having information means knowing your enemy. That's why I knew that Hao arrived without even seeing him. I've got a good nose you see." He held his hand on the jaguar's head proudly.
"And with his nose and my talent, I will become the world's greatest comedian! The public is crying out for one. That's my dream."
"Not a chance in hell." Both Ren and Akira answered. Seriously, everyone here seems to think alike.
"What's wrong, Anna?" I looked over to Yoh and Anna. "Do you think he can do it?"
"I couldn't care less about that." Talk about cold…
"How could you not care?"
"You're simply not funny." Well, that is true but yeah… nah, I got nothing.
"Oh yeah! I should probably write to mom and dad…" The reason I thought about that now is because when dad told me to do it, he said some lame ass joke, don't remember it though… he tells bad jokes all the time.
"Hm? Why would they expect that when you are in the shaman fight?" Anna asked.
"Well… they don't really know that I'm here… they think that I'm on vacation.. They don't even know that I'm a shaman. Well I can tell you about that later. "I smiled, " but yeah, better get a postcard and a pencil! See you later!"
"Hey mom, hey dad!
We are having a great time here and are staying at this really cool hotel.
There is something wrong with the planes here or something so I can't come home yet. I know that I have been gone about a few weeks more than I should have. ( actually about 3 months but it sounds better with saying week…)
Sorry I couldn't write sooner, I just forgot, it's like you say, the time flies when you are having fun.
I have made some new friends too! I know that you always want to meet my friends as fast as possible, but since it would be REALLY hard to meet them now, I will just tell you about them!
You know like you do, mom?
Here it is:
Yoh: An easygoing nice guy. I think you would love him. I already see him as pretty close friend.
Ren: A kind of cold guy. He doesn't seem very nice but that's because he has his own way of showing it! Sometimes you can just see it in his eyes. He seems to be that kind of guy that doesn't like speaking but he actually talks a lot! … But to be honest, I don't think you would like him that much in the beginning.. it will come later if you ever meet him!
Horohoro: He's funny! Nice too. He seems to be full of energi! I have gotten pretty close to him during my time here so yeah! :)
Ryu: A nice guy, older than me but don't worry. Nothing will happen… I mean it. Really not my type. He also has really funny hair! I think you would love it dad.
Lyserg: A nice guy! He is a little closed up right now but he is pretty fun to be around most of the time.
Chocolove: I just met him, he kind of reminds me of dad a little, always tells bad jokes! He wants to become a great comedian.
Anna: Just met her too, she's Yoh's girlfriend. I don't have that much to say about here for now. She seems a little mean (after what I heard from the others) but still seems nice.. Since she is dating Yoh I'm sure that she will be so much nicer once I have gotten to know her.
To be honest, I don't know if I'm considered as a friend for those two last ones but I think we will get to know each other just fine!
Yeah that's it! I hope you are happy since you got to know what kind of people I was hanging out with! Of course I still hang out with Azami and Akira too.
And isn't this card awesome? So god damn big! With a kitty on it! It wasn't cheap, I'll tell you that!
But anyway, I will write to you soon again and tell you about how soon I will be back, when I know.Miss you! 3
/ Tsukiko."
Thank god for big cards! It was actually because it was so big I decided to write about everyone… with big letters! Nice.
"Are you done now? Seriously… why the big card?" who had joined me together with Azami. Well they didn't come right away, I was half done with the letter then they found me.
"It has a kitty on it, Akira! How could I not buy it? Hey, where did Azami go?"
"She got tired of watching you write so she went to find Yoh and the others."
Well then I guess that I'm alone with Akira then!
"Oh, okay. Should we do the same? I could post this on the way."
" … And how are you planning on doing that?"
" … I'm Tsuki the queen of awesomeness! Everything is possible for me!"
He sighed and nodded and then we walked to find some kind of mailbox or something.
¤Later¤
Akira's POV:
We finally found a mailbox, God knows why the hell there is one here, and we had to struggle to make the card as small as possible, it took about 5 minutes because the paper was kind of hard and Tsuki didn't want it to get to ugly. Women…
"Well then, let's find Azami and the others. I want to find out how everyone will make their teams!"
Tsuki started to walk with a smile with me after her.
It feels kind of weird though. We haven't seen her for like two months or something I think and when we meet again she has that many new friends, that girl has a gift!
Azami and I only met people who got pissed of cause we were shamans too and wanted to fight, and they always found a way to piss Azami off. I really hope she doesn't see them if they're here too…
It seems Tsuki hasn't told the others about the whole first human then shaman thing, but I guess that if she wants to or not is up to her.
I suddenly felt how I walked into Tsuki who had stopped walking, she just glared.
"Tsuki?" I tried to see what or who she was glaring at, it seems like it was that guy with long hair I saw earlier… he kind of reminds me of that Yoh a little…
He didn't glare back, just smiled like when he had spotted Azami, but kind of different in some way.
I wonder if they had a fight or something on their way here… but it's only Tsuki who seems angry.
Tsukiko's POV:
So he made it here too huh, well I'm not really surprised to be fair.
"Tsuki?" I heard Akira ask from behind me, I didn't answer until about 30 seconds later.
"Nothing. I just need to talk to that guy, alone. You should run and find the others."
"You know him?"
"Sort of, I'll catch up with you later. Go now." I smiled at him.
I saw that he hesitated for a few seconds, but then nodded and walked away. I took a deep breath then walked over to Hao.
"Tell me now."
" Hm? You seem angry, and your thoughts aren't that nice either."
God damn stupid jerk bastar…. He read my mind! I hate it when he does that…
"That's too bad."
"Stop it! Tell me about my memories!" I avoided speaking too loud, I didn't want to draw attention while talking to this guy.
Thank god Hao's minions weren't there, only some kid.
"Hao-sama, is that her? She seems kind of mean…" she said with an innocent voice, I think Azami would love her.
"Yeah. She's actually nicer than she seems." He smiled down to the little girl.
I sighed, this feels kind of hopeless. No doubt that he will want something if he's gonna tell me. I just couldn't decide if I should leave and just try to become shaman queen of if I should stay and try to make him tell me what I want.
Not that I will withdraw even if he does tell me. I won't leave everyone like that.
"Please tell me?" Puppy eyes for the win!
"Cute. But you don't really think that those will work?" he chuckled.
"Well I can always try. But why would you let me know that you know what I want to know without letting me know the rest?"
There was a silence for some second, Opacho seemed kind of confused and Hao only gave me some kind of look… I don't even know what it means so don't ask.
"Maybe it is as you where thinking."
"And what was I thinking?" I didn't have the time to react before he had moved his face really close to mine, our noses almost touched.
"That I want something for it." He said while looking into my eyes. I knew it!
"You are blushing, cute." NOOOO! I don't want to blush!
" Hao-sama…"
"Hm, of course you are still the cutest, Opacho."
The kid looked happily at Hao.
Enough! "S- so what? Get away from me!" I pushed him away and took about two steps back.
I hate when I blush… it's cute when others do it but like I said… I HATE it when I do it…
Damn.
I saw how Hao's smiled changed into a more amused smile. I guess he read my mind again. I am also guessing that he is reading my mind right as I think.
Out of my head!
"You saw it when you got here."
"Huh..?"
"In the vision. That was a part of your past."
"… What? That child, was it me?" It can't be…
His serious face turned into a smile again, "Shouldn't you know more about yourself than anyone else?" that's true… but he only said that to tease me!
But he didn't lie about the vision.. I'm sure of it.
"We'll meet again, Tsuki-chan." He said then both he and the little kid disappeared.
"Tsuki!" It took a few seconds for me to react but then I turned around to see Horohoro and Azami running towards me.
"The plane back to Tokyo is leaving soon. Come on!"
"Y- yeah!" While we were running, Horohoro asked who I was talking to. Akira must have told them where I was. I answered "Just a guy…" then we dropped the subject.
We were sitting on the plane, on our way back to Tokyo.
I just realized something. I posted a big postcard to my parents in Tokyo, when we were going back to Tokyo the same day. I kind of hope I won't meet them. If I do they might find out… and I'm not ready for that, neither are they.
Also, while I was talking to Hao, not only Chocolove joined the party, but also a blond man named Faust and a little normal boy, Manta. I've heard about him from Yoh.
"Are you okay?" When you speak of the devil!
I looked in front of me where Manta was sitting. Yoh was having some kind of conversation with Anna a bit away.
"Yeah, just a little tired!" I smiled, "We never really introduced ourselves I think, I'm Tsukiko, but my friends call me Tsuki!" That was true, I have introduced me to both Faust and Chocolove, but I just forgot about Manta for some reason… maybe because he isn't a shaman? That's horrible!
"Oh, I'm Manta! You live in Tokyo?"
"Yeah, so do you right?"
"Hehe yeah! That's good right, since you can meet your family before the fight!"
"Um.. Yeah I guess I could but I will pass."
"Why?"
"Actually, they don't even know that I'm able to see ghosts." I know that the others could hear what I was saying. They all listened, I know it. But I kept my focus on Manta.
That's why I didn't really bother to keep quiet. I mean, why shouldn't they know?
"I weren't able to see ghosts until I turned 7, I was in an accident and when I woke up I lost all my memories… That's actually why I'm in the tournament!"
"To get you memories back?" Yoh asked, told you at least some of them listened!
"Well, it would be nice to remember everything again! To know everything I have missed."
Both Akira and Azami looked down at their hands, they looked kind of sad…
"Can't you just ask your parents?" Horohoro asked.
"I have, but they always answer me with telling that I always have had a great life etc but I can't just believe in their words, I want to see how it was."
There was a silence until Anna said, "Don't get too sad if you lose. You always have the new memories to remember." She didn't even look at me and that she actually said something to me surprised me. I think everyone got a little shocked…
"Thanks Anna, you are right about that! I just want to remember, but it isn't the whole world if I'm not able to!" I smiled.
"Besides, you will have to fight Yoh and that's probably as far as you will go."
Everyone got strange faces while I just got a nervous laugh.
"Anna.." Yoh said, he had also a nervous smile.
"It's the truth."
"Hey! Don't forget about me!" Horohoro yelled! "You will have to defeat me too you know!"
In a few seconds everyone except Ryu, Faust, Manta and Yoh threw comments about how they also existed and were to win the tournament.
I have absolutely no idea if they wanted to make me feel good or bad.. or if they just said it because Anna made it clear that Yoh was gonna win.
"You know…" I said, "I said that I was happy with the memories I have now… but I am still gonna win so watch your backs!"
"We will see about that." Ren answered and the little fight continued.
Some people might think that everyone telling me that they will win would make me upset, but for some reason I got happy.
Of course I want to win, but as Anna said, I have new memories that I am sure was better than the last ones. And even though I want to win, I am glad to the other's enthusiasm.
Besides, I know that they wanted to change the subject, at first at least. Then the real thing started.
Ren telling everyone that he was stronger, Horohoro bragging about how he was gonna win. It ended with Anna telling everyone to shut up since it's already decided who is going to win.
Let's face it, no one wants to pick a fight with Anna. I haven't known her for that long but even I know that.
For the rest of the trip almost everyone talked to everyone and laughed about different stuff.
After a few minutes Horohoro wanted to ask Kalim ( the patch who was driving the airplane) when his team, were gonna fight. He answered that no one should talk to him right now since his mana was about to run out.
The patches seems to be really cheap.
I looked over at Ren who was now looking annoyed out the window. "What's wrong?" Akira, who sat next to him, asked and Ren answered, "Nothing but if you look outside I will kill you."
Strange, what could be so weird outside the window? After a while I saw something by mistake, some kind of sign with the text 'Good luck Ren!'.
I wonder who was holding it… I couldn't see anything else.
Another chapter made! :D
Well anyway, thanks for reading! Please review and have an awsome day!
Byebye!
