Mai: So today I was reading Shaman King and suddenly this chapter came to me. I just saw Ren and I thought 'I should work on Do you Remember Me.' Anyway then I just sat down and wrote whatever came into my head. So I hope you enjoy.
Disclaimer: I don't own Shaman King…yet. When I finally do own Shaman King there will be a new season with new enemies and new couples. Also a certain blond X-law member will be ending up dead or at least in prison.
Chapter 6: A Ghostly Encounter
"I'm just going to take a quick nap, Tamao-chan!" Umi called back as she exited the kitchen.
"Ok, Umi-chan I'll clean up," Tamao told the blue-haired girl.
"Thanks. I really appreciate it!" Umi called from half way down the hall. When she got in her room she threw herself down on her bed and sighed. She had this killer headache that she just couldn't seem to get rid of. So she thought she's try sleeping it off.
Dream
"Good morning love," someone whispered in Umi's ear.
"Five more minutes," she muttered sleepily to the voice. Something about that voice seemed so familiar if only she could remember where she had heard it before.
"You've had your five more minutes already now it's time to get up and greet the day," the voice chuckling.
"And if I refuse?" she found herself saying playfully. She was lost in the dream too entranced to notice that it wasn't real.
"Well then I'll just have to punish you," the voice said. A second later she felt someone start to tickle her.
"Alright! Alright! I'm up!" she said through squeals of laughter. Then the tickling stopped as she sat up and took in her surroundings. She was in the bedroom of a strangely familiar apartment.
"Finally sleeping beauty awakes," the voice said teasingly while it's owner rapped his arms around Umi from behind. "It's another beautiful day, what do you want to do?"
"How about we start with breakfast and see where we go from there," Umi told the voice.
"Alright," the voice said. Then he spun her around to face him before kissing her. She kissed back with obvious sincerity. Although she had no idea what was going on or why she was saying and doing the things she was one fact pentrated her mind as she kissed this man: she loved him and he loved her.
Then they broke away and she opened her eyes to receive a shock. The man was Ren.
End Dream
Umi opened her eyes from her dream. Someone was floating over her bed. No, that wasn't right. She blinked thinking it was just her mind playing tricks but the floating woman was still there. The sight of this woman drove the dream clear out of Umi's mind.
She just stared at the woman for a moment before realizing that not only was this woman floating above her, she was also transparent and her feet were sort of faded out.
"What are you?" Umi asked surprisingly calm.
"Oh shit! Um you're dreaming," the woman tried feebly.
Umi pinched herself. "Ouch! No I'm not!" she told the transparent woman. She noticed that the woman was looking nervous.
"Ok well maybe, Yoh or Ren should explain this. YOH! REN!" the woman yelled. A sound of crashing plates could be heard form somewhere around the kitchen. Two seconds later Ren and Yoh burst into the room.
"What happened?" Ren asked alert. "Sen you were supposed to stay out of sight!" Ren said seeing the woman floating near Umi's bed.
"I guess now we have to explain this," Yoh said sweatdroping. "You see Umi you're a shaman and uh Sen here is your guardian ghost."
"We wanted to wait to tell you this to avoid putting too much stress on your mind. We're pretty much all shaman here. Well Manta and Pirika aren't but everyone else is and Manta and Pirika can see ghosts so we're pretty much all on the same page now," Ren told Umi gently.
"I just have one question. How did you manage to hide all the ghosts from me?" Umi asked confused.
"Well we instructed all the ghosts to remain invisible but now that you've seen Sen there's really no point," Yoh said. "You can come out now Amidamaru! Bason!" An old samurai appeared over Yoh's shoulder and a Chinese warlord appeared over Ren's shoulder. "This is Amidamaru," Yoh said pointing at the samurai.
"And this is Bason," Ren said pointing to the Chinese warlord.
"Why don't we leave you two to catch up," Yoh suggested pulling Ren out of the room.
"So, they said you're name is Sen right?" Umi asked conversationally.
"Well Senko actually but my friends call me Sen," the ghost woman told her amnesia stricken shaman. "I was alive about 600 years ago." Umi and Sen spent the rest of the day talking about pretty much everything.
"Oh well it's nice to meet you again."
