Reincarnation-3-Furano Hokkaido (富良野市, 北海道)
The day progressed as usual, Yoh and Hao would get in trouble.Takeyama-sensei would get angry with Hao and Yoh as usual. The only difference was, there was to be a 'shaman fight.' Asakura Hao and Asakura Yoh vs. Tao Ren. The school clock struck 5 o'clock, Yoh and Hao for once served there detention, and headed straight home.
After dinner Yoh and Hao were outside of their house climbing the trees, when Hao asked the time.
"Ima nanji desu ka?(What time is it?)" asked Hao,
"Shi-chi ji san-jyu-go fun.(7:35)" replied Yoh,
"Doushite(why)?"
"I feel like we forgot something." said Hao,
"Besides we actually served detention for once, I'm unsure." Hao added, while trying as hard as he could to think.
"I don't think we forgot any homework. Manta made sure we bringed everything." said Yoh,
"Oh well." Hao grinned, Yoh grinned as well.
The next day Hao and Yoh hurried out the door like usual, on the way to school they met up with Manta, the next victim to "try" out Yoh's new skateboard.
"Hey Manta!" yelled Yoh and Hao, Manta looked in the direction of the voices.
"Look out Manta!" they yelled, Manta went bug-eyed at the last second,then crash! The three boys laid on the ground, Yoh's skateboard was nowhere in sight until, it fell on top of Manta's head.
"Ow,ow,ow!" Manta cried rubbing his head,
"What the heck was that?"Yoh and Hao pointed to the skateboard on the ground.
"Eh? So that's what hit me in the head, next thing it's flying mailboxes." Manta laughed,
Suddenly a shadow started to form above them, it got larger and larger. Yoh, Hao,and Manta looked up, indeed something was falling towards them.
"Manta take it back!" yelled Hao and Yoh,
"I take it back, I take it back!" Manta yelled panicking.
The supposively assumed mailbox was looming nearer, the boys ran in circles. Crashing into one another.Before impact they let out a terrified scream and hoped the "mailbox" didn't hit them.What landed was not a mailbox, but a boy.
"You didn't show up yesterday!" he yelled,
"Eh?"
The twins and Manta removed there hands from there eyes. Standing before them was not a mailbox, but Tao Ren.Very angered Ren's spike on his head grew twice it's size, storing up a huge amount of chi.
"Why didn't you show up yesterday?" yelled Ren,
"Eh?" the twins stared at him innocently,
"Don't you 'eh' me. What happened!"
"What are you talking about Ren?" asked Yoh,
"You were suppose to fight me!" The Asakura boys stared at Ren, totally clueless.
"I challenge you two, right here!" yelled Ren,
"But we told you we don't have guardian ghosts." the boys replied,
"What kind of shaman doesn't have a guardian ghost?" Ren mocked,
"Us." Hao and Yoh replied, Ren and Manta just starred dumbfounded at the twins. How could they be so stupid?
"Ren can't we just talk about this?" suggested Yoh,
"I do my talking with my Kwan Dao."
"C'mon Ren cut us some slack."
"You both are already slackers."said Ren and Manta at once.
Without a warning Ren already swung his Kwan Dao at the twins,the two jumped out of it's way.
"Let's see if you pass my test."
"Test? But we never studied!" exclaimed Hao and Yoh.
Ren jabbed the Kwan Dao right at them, the two ducked and jumped when Ren pulled back and aimed for their legs.Manta stared at his watch, it was quarter past seven.
"Were gonna be late you guys." Manta said,
"Besides you been at it for 20 minutes."
The three stopped, panting.Ren grinned.
"Your good, consider the match post-poned."
"So were not fighting you?"asked Hao,
"No.You seem good at dodging, it would be fun to watch you run when you finally become an official shaman."
"Hey were that word!" yelled Hao and Yoh.
Ren and Manta just laughed.
"I'll be waiting until you get a guardian spirit." The two nodded.
"Like I always say Hao, everything will work out."said Yoh, grinning.
"C'mon, were gonna be late you guys!" cried Manta.
Yoh and Hao got back on there skateboard, "Do you guys want a lift?" asked Yoh,
"Sure!" beamed Manta. He always wanted to ride a skateboard, he was like Hao. I total klutz when it came to using such things.
"What about you Ren?" asked Yoh,
"I prefer to walk."
"But you said you had to stick to us until we get a guardian ghost." Hao said slyly.
"Oh fine."sighed Ren.
He climbed behind Manta, and the four sped away like a bullet towards Funbari elementary.
Days turned into weeks, into months. Summer came and gone and at last it was winter.It came to the final stretch of the school year. Just two weeks after New year's came the announcement from the school. The notice sent out that Funbari elementary would go to Furano for 5 days. It was a sort of tradition as congrats for the 6th graders for passing into junior high.
This was Yoh and Hao's first school trip. To somewhere so far as well, Hokkaido was the northern island of Japan, where the city of Furano is. Funbari elementary was one of the top school's of Tokyo and could afford the funds for such a trip.
At long last everyone reached the resort at Furano. "Wow this place is huge!" both the Asakura twins said at once.
"I come here every year, it's not that great." said Manta,
"Your right it isn't that great, it's too cold why did I agree to this again?" said Anna shivering, Tamao gave Anna an extra scarf.
"I never knew Anna was sensitive to the cold." said Hao,
"Me neither." said Yoh.
"Um, are,are we going skiing?" stammered Tamao,
"The 3rd grader's get lessons after the 2nd graders." replied Manta,Tamao smiled happily.
"You always wanted to go skiing haven't you Tamao-chan?" asked Yoh,
"V-v-very much master Yoh. It looks like fun!" Yoh chuckled, Hao just rolled his eyes along with Ren.Manta looked at his watch, it was soon time for the 3rd graders to start there lessons.
"The lessons are starting soon!" said Manta,
"Who needs lessons, let's wing it!" cried the twins,
"Yes go break your necks.Good idea." Ren said sarcastically.
All of them, yes even Anna, climbed on the ski lift to go up the mountain, at the top was where the lessons would be held. Skiing and Snowboarding lessons were available along with rentals. Once up the mountain Tamao and Manta signed up for lessons. Ren already learned how to ski while Anna just came to watch. Yoh and Hao got rental snowboards while Ren was half way down the mountain.
"Not fair Ren!" Ren just smirked not looking where he was going and nearly hit a tree. The twins laughed.
"This is gonna be so easy like using a skateboard."said Yoh,
"Not if both your feet are bolted to the board." said Hao pointing at the board,
"Eh? Well guess I gotta wing it!" said Yoh excitedly, Hao sighed and stood up.
"Well guess I'll try it. I hope I don't fall flat on my face." said Hao,
"Just watch how a pro does it Nii-chan!" said Yoh, Hao looked at Yoh, Yoh was also ready to go and tried to push forward and fell flat on his face.
"So that's how a pro does it!" Hao said laughing, "Let me try."
Hao was surprised to see that he was moving, and picking up speed fast! "Yatta!(I did it!)" cried Hao,
"Hao's too good." Yoh said trying again, ending with the same result.Hao was half way down the mountain catching quickly up with Ren.
"Yo."
"Asakura?"
"No, Hao Asakura." said Hao looking strangely at Ren,
"How did you catch up, don't tell me you have a talent." Ren said smirking,
"Ren you idiot!" Hao said speeding farther, reaching a jump.
"Wah! I donno how to do jumps!" panicked Hao,
"Your in for it!" laughed Ren,
"Shut up you!"
The jump came closer and closer, gave Hao the impression he was going to look very stupid,continued forward. Suddenly someone came next to Hao gained speed and got on the jump, doing a 180 and landing back on the ground.
"I'll try that!" Hao said, imitating the guy in front, Hao pulled the 180 off.
"Yatta!(I did it!)" Hao said triumphantly,"Now to catch up to the guy." thought Hao,Hao finally caught up with the young boy who sped past him.
"Yo." The boy turned around and waved,
"Hiya."
"How did you do that?" asked Hao
"Did you just start snowboarding?"
"Yeah."
"When we reach the bottom, I'll give you some tips."
"Thanks. My name's Asakura Hao."
"I'm Horohoro." he said pushing his sky blue bangs out of his face.
"Did you get lessons Hao-dude?"
"No."
"Dumb-luck!" Horohoro said laughing, reaching the bottom. Few seconds later Ren reached the bottom.
"That was unfair Hao!" complained Ren,
"How nice of you to say sore loser." Hao said sticking out his tongue.
"Eh? Who's this dude?" asked Horohoro,
"Dude?" replied Ren,
"He's Tao Ren,a friend of mine."
"You mean rival!" cried Ren,
"Hiya, I'm Horohoro. Nice to meet you." said Horohoro,
"Nice to know your a shaman." said Ren,
"A shaman?" said Hao in surprise,
"Yup. My spirits name is Kororo, she in my snowboard. I'll show you. I'll glide down that cliff." Horohoro said pointing to the steep cliff that was marked with a danger sign.
"Your crazy!" cried Hao,
"More like suicide." said Ren,
"What?" both Horohoro and Hao said, Ren slapped his forehead,
"By any chance is your last name Asakura, Horohoro?"
"No it's-"Horohoro was cut off,
"Are you saying we have the same name cause he's just as stupid as me and Yoh?" Hao said glaring at Ren, Ren smirked,
"Whatever could you mean Hao?" Ren said innocently,
"Wanna see me guild down still?" asked Horohoro,
"I guess" said Hao,
"Suicide." said Ren.
"I'll take that as a yes." said Horohoro leading them to the cliff. As the snow started to fall, a new blanket of snow soon covered the area where Horohoro was going to make his daredevil move.
A/N:It seems abnormal for them to go on a skiing trip, I know. But how would I introduce Horohoro, I had no other idea, espically if he lives all the way in Hokkaido and, well it seems over rated for elementary students!And Ren seems too smart for a 3rd grader! That's Ren for you!I hope you enjoyed it! If there's any grammar/spelling mistakes please let me know!Sorry my summary for "chan" is not good! Review kudasai(please)!
