"Yoh-kun. Anna-san is going to be mad at you for splurging on those oranges."

The taller brunette next to the speaker simply "heh heh heh-ed" in reply to it. "It'll be alright Manta. At least it didn't go over the budget."

"I worry about you sometimes," Manta told him. He sighed. "So you haven't heard anything from the Oracle Bell lately?"

"No," Yoh replied. "It's been a year since that incident, and I doubt that I'll hear about the Shaman Fight again any time soon. I don't even know if they're going to start it up again," he explained, continuing to walk on the dirt road.

It was late, but the weather still warm on the late summer day as the two friends walked from Heiyu from grocery shopping to the old inn-turned-Asakura residence. The sun had nearly set and the sky was splashed yellow and red, with a few stars just starting to appear behind the haze of street lamps. Such a nice evening, but something felt off.

"Do you feel that?" Mosuke asked, suddenly coming out.

"Yoh-dono," Amidamaru called, appearing from seemingly nowhere.

"Ah. I know," the Shaman replied, knowing what seemed to bother the ghosts. Manta looked up at his friend, seeing a serious look on his face akin to what he looked like when he was knowingly going into a fight during the Shaman Fight.

"What's wrong, Yoh-kun?" the little person asked worriedly. The boy in question didn't reply, but started walking a little off-course from home to where the park was located. "Ah, wait Yoh-kun!" Manta called out while catching up to him in a run.

The park seemed deserted; only the occasional young couple on a date popping up in the distance. All seemed right to them, but even with his limited Shamanic powers, Manta could now sense some sort of strange energy coming from a certain direction. It felt ... a bit familiar in a way the boys couldn't place. The feeling was large and oppressive, and it felt like it was getting a little hard to breathe, yet still had the presence of something or someone gentle and cautious. Yoh, Manta, Mosuke and Amidamaru just kept going a little farther into the most wooded area of the park, determined to see who or what this feeling was and what was causing it. In one of the thickest parts of the foliage, the presence got stronger, and they finally saw what was the cause of it.

Propped against a rather large tree were two young girls, just about their age give or take a few months, each looking strikingly similar to the other. Both of them had straight blonde hair reaching down to their waists, bangs hanging just above their closed eyes to frame their faces, one just slightly more angular than the other and both of their heads were decorated with headbands - black on one's and a white one on the other's. Both of them had on very similar dresses as well; both wore short, long-sleeved cotton dresses with jewel necklines and thick belts hugging their waists. The girls also had on warm cotton tights and what looked to be three-inch knee-high boots. On one girl, the clothes were black and the belt white with a black circle that made up the buckle, and the other girl's were white, the belt being black with a white circle buckle and two backpacks in their respective colors right next to the each of them. Around the black-dress-girl's neck was an onyx cross necklace with a white ring encrusted with small white round-cut diamonds crossing it diagonally, the same necklace on the other's but white with a black diamond encrusted ring on it. Both of the girls were leaning on each other at the shoulders and head, looking like they were asleep and unconcerned of who might just stumble upon them in their vulnerable state.

"Wh-what are these two doing here?!" Manta exclaimed softly as the boys and ghosts huddled in private consult.

"I don't know. Maybe they're homeless?" Yoh suggested with wide, worried eyes, looking at the dirt and grime that layered their skin and clothes.

Amidamaru said, "But these girls are definitely the source of that presence that we felt. Perhaps we should be cautious in finding out what they are doing here." Mosuke nodded in agreement.

The four looked behind them, seeing that the two were still sleeping away while the boys were figuring out what to do next. Yoh, in all his brilliance, straightened up from his crouch and walked over to where the two were. "Excuse me," he began as he shook the shoulder of the girl in the black dress. "you'll get sick if you sleep out here." The ones behind him face-palmed in response.

The girl's eyebrows knitted together slightly in their own reaction, and after a few seconds her eyelids groggily opened up, revealing dark blue-colored eyes.

Elen felt the hand on her shoulder first as she woke up from her blessedly dreamless sleep. She recognized the Furyoku from the Shaman Fights, but all she could think of right now was that he was too physically close to her and her little sister. Eyes snapping all the way open, Elen grabbed his wrist with her right hand from her left shoulder and twisted the intruder's body so he was laying on his stomach, the arm in her right hand wrung in an awkward angle behind him as she dug her left knee into the space between his shoulder blades painfully.

"Yoh-kun!"

"Yoh-dono!"

"Yoh!"

'[There're more but they ain't worth it,]' she quickly decided. "Don't get near me or my sister." She threatened, her eyes liquid fire as she glared down at the male under her.

"I'm sorry I'm sorry!" the boy called Yoh called in distress. "I didn't mean anything by it!"

Elen quickly realized who it was that woke her up. 'Asakura Yoh. A few thousand Furyoku points last time I checked and defeated his brother Hao last year when he tried to take The Great Spirit for himself. A pretty good guy who doesn't seem to have a bad bone in his body.' She lifted her leg off of Yoh's back, letting his arm unravel from its knotted appearance to the still sun-warmed grass at his side. She still looked at him warily, her guard up just in case. The midget next to the shopping bags and the ghosts hurried over to help their friend out from the hold she had on him.

"You alright Yoh-dono?" Amidamaru asked worriedly as Yoh sat back up.

"Heh heh heh." His grin was rather large on his face as he rubbed the back of his head in apology for worrying his companions.

"Don't 'heh heh heh' at us," Manta told Yoh exasperatedly while Mosuke sighed in relief.

Elen didn't want to take her chances with these guys more than what was necessary in this situation. "If I were y'all, I'd get outta here as fast as ya could," she warned to them, breaking off the sort-of relaxed atmosphere and bringing their attention back to her and her still-sleeping sister.

"But it's not healthy to be sleeping out here," Manta told her. From her observations, he wasn't a threat. Only some Shamanic training, his ghost the blacksmith Mosuke not very strong and his Medium not with him either but instead, a rather large encyclopedia tucked under his arm. He seemed genuinely concerned for her and her sister's safety.

"Thank you, but we'll manage," Elen said briskly. She just wanted them to go away.

"Will you at least give us your names?" Was Yoh implying that she introduce herself and the other girl? For courtesy? She may know their names already, but it was only polite that they give their names first.

"What're yours first?" she asked. After slight hesitation at her words, the boys in front of her spoke up.

"Asakura Yoh," the brunette with orange headphones said.

"Oyamada Manta," he gave a polite smile that reached his eyes to her.

"Amidamaru," he bowed in respect at her.

"Mosuke," He jutted his thumb towards himself.

'Only fair now.'

"My name's Elen," she said finally. She looked over to the other blonde next to her, now growing a bit restless from the noises they were making. "Her name's Diana. She's my younger twin sister." At the sound of her name, Diana had started opening up her own eyes to see what was going on. Rubbing her bright green eyes like a child to fend off what sleep may try to take her again, she noticed the boys were now looking at her in slight expectancy and was snapped awake immediately. Squeaking, she dove behind Elen like a rabbit jumping into a hole to escape a hungry predator. "Diana, stop that. It's rude," Elen chided. Looking back to Yoh and co, she told them, "Sorry. She gets really shy at times."

Yoh smiled again, not seemingly to be bothered by that fact at all. He scooted a little closer to the pair, peering behind Elen to glance at Diana. She seemed to be like Tamao in a sense. "You're Diana, right?" he asked, addressing the girl directly. That seemed to make her shoulders sag in hesitant relaxation as she looked over her sister's shoulder to nod. He noticed that perhaps she wasn't just being shy at someone new. Maybe she was... afraid? Sad? Whatever emotion was in her green orbs, they looked to be the same one in Elen's. "I'm Asakura Yoh. It's nice to meet you. And these are my friends." He gestured behind him as they introduced themselves again.

"If I may ask," Amidamaru started as Diana started to ease herself from her hiding spot. "what are the two of you doing here?"

Elen and Diana's eyes met as they silently debated whether to tell them or not. "Waiting," the twins said at the same time. The others adopted perplexed looks on their faces at the answer given to them, wondering what they were waiting for in the first place.

"For what?" Manta asked them, just as the last of the sunlight started to reflect off of a surface and shining into his eyes. He looked for the source, more surprise evident on his face as he discovered the item on Elen's backpack. He checked Diana's and sure enough found another on hers.

"The Shaman Fight: Restart."

Oh my God I FINALLY DID THIS!

New rewrite, new title, but same old problems really. I'm thinking of deleting the other two once I've caught up to the storyline in both of them. Tell me what y'all think! And a special thank you to Darknesse Sidhe for beta-ing!

And I can't believe I'm actually saying this, but I'm giving a round of applause to my teachers for letting me type this up in class! Hurray!

On another note, if nobody has read Shaman King: Flowers, READ NOW! In chapter 6, it looks like there could be such a wonderful yaoi moment! Tee hee hee!

One last thing! Tell me if I should delete the old stories when I get caught up storyline-wise with this one! Wait, I said that already. Oops! Hee hee hee!

Please read, review, send ideas and send to friends.

See y'all next time!
