Mai: Ok here's the first real chapter. I hope you like it.
December 14, 2007: Mai: Ok so here's the revised version of chapter one. I didn't do much to this one either. I basically just went back over it and tried to make the relationships a clearer and give the characters a little bit more of an emotional response. Other than that not much to fix. It's still not very long sorry.
Disclaimer: I do not own Shaman King. If I did there would be a lot more romance in it. However I do own Umi and my friend owns Sen (who comes in later chapters) but my friend is kind enough to let me use Sen.
Chapter 1: Who am I?
She woke up in an unfamiliar white room. Looking around she saw a small window, the bed that she was laying on, a small beside table, and lots of beeping machines. There was a chair in the corner of the room, and asleep in the chair was a blue haired girl. She also noticed that there was an empty chair pulled up beside her bed.
There were a million questions buzzing through her head. Where was she? Why was she there? Who was that blue haired girl? And mostly importantly who was she? She panicked realizing that she couldn't remember a thing.
The girl in the chair stirred and opened her eyes. For a moment they just stared at each other. Then the girl smiled and said, "Oh my god. I'm so glad you're awake. Everyone so worried about you. We were beginning to think you might never wake up. Ren-san almost beat up several doctors for even suggesting that."
"Who's Ren-san? Who are you?" she asked the girl. "Who am I?"
"Oh my god," she rushed out of the room looking like she'd just seen a ghost.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE HAS AMNESIA!" Tao Ren yelled at his distressed (hopefully still) soon-to-be sister-in-law, Usui Pirika.
"She woke up and when I told her that everyone was worried about her she asked me who I am and who she is," Pirika said sadly.
"Well we have to talk to the doctor then," he said calming down but still extremely shocked. This couldn't be happening to him. The woman he loved couldn't have finally woken up only to completely forget about him.
The doctor told him that he had run tests and she indeed had amnesia. He also said that she would probably not be able to accept everything right away.
"She's still in shock so if you tell her everything right away it could cause some problems. It would be best if you let her discover the truth by herself or if you gently prod her memory."
"I understand," Ren told the doctor sadly. Why did something like this have to happen? He should be able to be happy about her finally waking up.
