Disclamer: Obviously I don't own Shaman King.

Note: The story happened in the middle of Shaman Fight where Goldva announced a little break before the battle started again. This is my first story. A review will be gladly accepted.

Chapter 1: Confrontation

It was a wonderful afternoon. A breeze of wind blew and played with leaves of trees. The sun was almost in west which reminded everyone that night will come soon.

A blonde girl was walking towards a hill. Her hair and dress were swaying and dancing with the wind. Her emotionless face and eyes were looking particularly to nowhere. Her feet were dragging her to wherever it wanted to go.

Finally Anna Kyoyama reached her destination. She was on top of a hill. She sat there and rested her back on a lovely Sakura Tree as she opened her small book. It had been an hour since she left the house where she and the whole Funbari Onsen Team living on the place where the tournament for Shaman Fight held. Back there it was a peaceful noon but it changed as Team the Ren came and dropped a visit. And as always happened when the 'gang' reunited, the whole house started to make noises. Instead of getting mad and loss her cool she just decided to go out and ended up in this place.

She was in a deep thought when suddenly an apple fell in front of her. Due to her adrenaline she quickly caught the fruit before it landed on the ground.

"What the…," She looked up on the tree, surely it is a Sakura. She looked around the area but there was no one there besides her and she didn't feel anyone's presence.

Where it came from?

Anna stared at the fruit on her hand. She had been puzzled for a while until a memory came back and hit her mind.

He's back…

In the middle of forest a group of young men was walking. Well, actually they were not walking anymore because of the two shamans who were arguing.

"You're a BAKA!" said the Chinese Shaman who has a purple hair we all known as Tao Ren.

"Oh yeah… SHARKHEAD!" answered of the certain Ainu with blue spiky hair, Horohoro.

"Guys can you settle it down…?" pleased of a brunet who has a headphone on his head, Asakura Yoh.

"Crown?" an afro man said who was now wearing a crown and dressed like a king, Chocolove McDaniel.

Everyone stopped in what they were doing. Then the two shamans who were arguing beat up Chocolove.

Yoh sweat dropped. Seeing his friends doing it again made him chuckle. Yes, again, because back in the inn before they went out they were arguing, the reason why Anna left the house. Thinking of her I wonder where is she? He thought.

"Having a little fun, aren't we?"

Everybody stopped upon hearing the new voice. They all wondered who own that masculine voice. They scanned the area and saw a figure under a tree. The figure was leaning on the said tree and his face was hidden by the shadow of the leaves. Both hands were in his pants' pockets.

"Who are you?" asked the midget guy of the group who has a dark blond hair, Manta Oyomada.

The figure slowly walked towards them before stopping in front of them. Revealing himself, the 'gang' totally saw his features. He is a teenager, looks like the same age as them. He has an orange hair which was brush up yet some loose bangs where on front of his handsome face. The lower part of the hair is long which was tied in a low ponytail. He was wearing blue baggy pants and red long sleeves under a blue yukata with white linings and no sleeves. He was also wearing fingerless black gloves and black sneakers.

"It doesn't matter who I am. I'm just here to ask a question," the stranger said, eyes were close.

"Who the hell do you think you are to just suddenly appeared from nowhere, disturbed our conversation and wanted to ask some question when you don't even tell your name?" Horohoro shouted, pointing his finger on the stranger.

"BAKA! What conversation are you talking about?" Ren yelled at Horohoro.

"Our argument," Horohoro yelled back.

Ren only sweat dropped.

"So what is the question you wanted to ask?" Yoh asked. Everyone looked at the orange-haired teen.

The newcomer smirked, and then he answered, "I'm just here to ask who is the Princess' prince?" Slowly he opened his eyes and revealed its crimson color.

Silence.

Then Chocolove, who was now wearing a prince costume, smacked down by Ren before he could say anything.

"Eehh… what do you mean?" Manta asked, puzzled.

"Oh… My bad, I made you confuse," he said as he placed his hand on back of his head and gave them a boyish smile. "What I mean is Anna's Prince."

"Are you referring to Anna Kyoyama?" Manta asked again.

"Yes."

"If you're looking for her fiancé then he is…" Ren said while pointing to Yoh.

The stranger looked at Yoh. "So you're Asakura Yoh?"

"Hai!" Yoh answered while grinning. "So what can I do for you? And can I know your name?"

The stranger smile mischievously. "Sure!" Slowly he got his sword on his back, "I'm her Knight," and pointed it to Yoh. "I came here to challenge you."

A pause.

Her Knight? What the hell does he mean? Manta asked to himself.

"Hey what are you talking about? You're telling too much nonsense. Are you mentally ill?" Horohoro yelled.

"Yeah! Are you an eel?" Chocolove, who had been only recovered by Ren's punch, asked while holding an eel, now been knocked down by Horohoro.

"I'm afraid to admit this but I'm agreeing to this Baka!" Ren stated while Horohoro gave him a death glare.

Finally, Yoh who had been clueless for the thing the stranger was talking about spoke. "You know, I'm not going to fight you because I don't have a reason."

The stranger looked again at Yoh. "You want a reason? Then I'm going to give you a good one."

Suddenly his face's expression became serious and a flame danced on his eyes.

"I'm going to take Anna away from you."
