Mai: I'm really sorry but when I posted chapter five I accidentally posted my whole story over. So now I'm reposting chapter 5 with just chapter five in it. Anyway Happy Rosh Hashanah to those of you who are Jewish and on with the show.

Disclaimer: I don't own Shaman King, Canada, or Inu Yasha yet. On the bright side though I do own the first eight volumes off the Inu Yasha manga. Oh Inu Yasha I love your eyes I just want to steal them away. I dedicate this chapter to Inu Yasha's amazing eyes!

Chapter 5: Anger and Fire: The Makings of Hell

"Hey Hao, you know how you made those rules when I joined up with you yesterday?" Terra asked me sweetly on the morning of her second day in my camp.

"Yeah?" I answered suspiciously. Although I had only known her a day I could already tell that she's not the kind of person who uses that kind of tone unless she's about to drop bad news or orders on someone.

"Well I decided that I didn't like them so I made up my own," she told me her voice suddenly becoming loud and commanding. "Number 1: I work with you not for you. Number 2: I refuse to call you Hao-sama ever. Number 3: You and your followers will show me respect or else! Number 4: If you ever touch my stuff you die! Number 5: If you don't like any of those rules deal with it!"

The whole camp was staring at her now as if they had just seen a ghost. I was shocked. No one had ever talked to me like that before. I was Hao Asakura for crying out loud. The most powerful shaman ever to exist and the future ruler of the world!

"Nobody talks to me like that," I told her in a threatening voice that I usually use on my followers when they mess up.

"Well I just did. So I guess some people do talk to you like that. Or am I not a real person all of a sudden?" No matter how angry I was I had to admit that this girl was good.

Anyway back to the anger. I felt my hands start to ball into fists and the fire start to form in my hands. I was going to get her good! Or so I thought.

"Oh save the fireworks show for someone who's actually scared of it," she told me in a semi-bored tone.

"How the hell did you know what I was going to do?" I asked her dumbfounded. She gave a small laugh when she saw my face. When she stopped she was still grinning like a maniac. It looked odd on her face. The blood red hair, dark make up, and dark clothes just didn't look right with a look of cheerfulness.

"Well last night figured out that you can use your furyouku (sp?) to read minds. So I watched you and observed how you did it, then myself how to read minds and even access memories. And I've been practicing on you and your followers." This left me dumbfounded. No one had ever been able to pick up my mind reading trick before. In fact it had taken a lifetime and a half to invent that trick.

From then on everyone pretty much did what she told them to. I immediately started to plan revenge something big, and flashy that would put that little terminally depressed bitch in her place.

The trouble for me was that she kept catching me at it. My mind always gives off a slightly more noticeable consciousness because of my high furyouku level.

"God damn it, woman!" I yelled at her after she thwarted my seventh revenge attempt and ended up setting my tent on fire instead of the other way around. So what if I was able to put it out in two seconds the point is it was still my tent on fire and not hers. "Stop reading my god damn mind!"

"No, I like reading minds. Besides you do it all the time, so why is it any different when I do it?" she asked. Now this really ticks me off. When I give orders I expect them to be followed. Though this disrespectful girl was an interesting experience and despite myself I had to admit that I kind of liked her. I also couldn't help but admit that she had a strange sort of hot gothic beauty to her.

"Because I am the future king of world and you are not."

"You're right..."

"Thank you!"

"…I'm the future queen of the world!"

"WHAT!" I yelled after she finished her sentence.

"You heard me. I am going to win the tournament purify the human race," she shot back at me.

"No you aren't. I am going to win and kill the humans!" I yelled.

"No I am going to kill off the evil humans and give the few deserving humans shamanic powers and place in my new world!" she countered back. From that point on I figured the yelling could only get worse and I was right. If there is anything that pushes my buttons it's the mention of letting humans live.

"No filthy human will be given shamanic powers in my world!"

"I'm not letting just any filthy human into my world only the ones who truly deserve it!"

"No human deserves forgiveness! They hate, they cheat, they lie, they steal, and they turn against anyone who dares to be different even if that person tries to help them!"

"My parents were two of those "filthy" humans you keep going on about and they have never persecuted anyone! Not my sister for being blind! Not me for being depressed and angry all the time! And certainly not either of us for being shamans!"

When she finished I stood there shocked. To my surprise there was a small tear sliding down her face.

"I'm sorry. I didn't know," was all I could manage to say.

"No you didn't. Why do you think I wear so much black!" she yelled before she stormed off leaving me to stand there open mouthed. I noticed that she said "were" when she was talking about her parents, not "are".

Did something happen to her parents? And if her parents are humans why does she have shamanic powers? I wondered to myself.

Mai: I just wanted to say that last night I saw this great episode of Inu Yasha. It was about Kagome running back to her own world after seeing Inu Yasha swear to Kikyo that he would protect her. Once back in her own world she doesn't even have the emotional strength to go back and return the shikon jewel shards. But then she visits the spot where she first met Inu Yasha and she realizes that she loves him so she goes back to his world. Then when she sees him she gives this whole speech about how she and Kikyo are connected through their desire to be with Inu Yasha and how she wants to stay by him no matter what. It was great she was basically telling him that she loved him and that she'd always be by his side even if he didn't love her. I just thought I'd share that even though it was completely random. Well please review!
