The tournament, the first

Shaman tournament

Now it was that time again. It was winter. February to be exact. But not just any winter day with ice and snow. No, it was her birthday. The birthday of the now 15 year old Luna Asakura. Worst day of the year in your opinion. As on every normal day, the light blue-haired woman went to school in the morning. Until her `friend` Kira came into class, she still felt pretty good. Kira came straight to her without any detours. What started immediately what the young shaman had feared: Her, also blue-haired, ´friend´ shouted at her: "You ... you wretched witch! Murderess! Shaman!" Kira took a short breath. "First you kill my sister and then you come to school on the day she died! I hate you, Luna!" The young girl reached out and punched Luna in the face. This almost flew off the chair due to the force of the blow. She kept her head on one side. "Kira ...", Luna said calmly, "I'm not to blame for Lilly's death ... I haven't even been there ... Even if I had been there, I would have done everything to prevent it.Believe me… "She started to give a sharp answer, but couldn't pronounce it anymore, because at that moment Mr. Yoshi, her class teacher, came in. So Kira was forced to save her answer. Mr. Yoshi ended the lesson earlier this time than usual. Before the break, Kira came back to Luna. "You wretched liar! I hate you! Lilly's death is your fault alone! Why didn't you die then ?! Murderess! Someday I'll kill you !! "Luna took her bag and left the class. Everyone knew exactly where she was going: to the cemetery.

When the shaman finally got to the cemetery, it had already started to snow. She stopped in front of a grave, knelt, lit a couple of incense sticks, and prayed. After a while she got a visitor. It was Kira. (Who else?) "What are you doing here?" She asked irritably. But Luna didn't answer. "Please answer me! WHAT do you want here?" When the kneeling still didn't answer, Kira grabbed her by the arm, pulled her up and threw her into the deep snow.Luna got up and said calmly: "Kira ... Please just leave me alone ... I really don't feel like arguing with you." "Master Luna. Someone is here ... He's strong.", Yuriko said, Luna's Guardian Spirit, suddenly. "Where is he?" She asked. "Right behind you," someone answered her question. Startled, the white-haired turned around: "Who are you?" "My name is Silver. I come from the shaman fight committee to examine you." "I see ... The tournament.", Luna mumbled, then she said to Silver: "Well, I'm ready. What do I have to do?" go? "" Immediately! The time is running out! "Kira, who didn't quite understand what was going on, took cover. Luna quickly grabbed a wooden stick lying on the floor and united her guardian spirit Yuriko with herself. Then she attacked. All attacks ricocheted off him. She backed away to think about it. // What?Why doesn't it work? What am I doing wrong? // thought she // wait a minute he embodies his ghosts in objects. That means, in order to meet him, I have to embody Yuriko in an object ... I've got it, I have to use the stick as a medium! // Luna released her mind control. "What's going on?" Asked her guardian spirit. "To be able to beat him we have to move the medium to the staff and then attack, that is our only chance!", Answered the shaman, "Ready?" Yuriko nodded. "Yuriko in the wooden stick!", Luna said and united her mind with the stick. Now she attacked. In fact, this time she managed to meet Silver. She cut his headband in half. "Passed.", Said the defeated smiling. "I .. I passed ...?" Luna muttered in disbelief. Your opponent nodded. "Right. Your oracle pager here. You will receive all information about the tournament and your opponents through him." Silver gave her the pager. “Goodbye Luna Asakura.” Then he disappeared."See you again!" Said Luna. "I .. No WE did it Yuriko!" "Well done, Luna," said Yuriko, "We should go home now." "You're right, let's go." After her guardian spirit had disappeared in his death tablet, she did on his way home. Kira said nothing more.

On their way home, the snowfall grew into a storm. The young girl came home completely soaked and half frozen. Happy to finally be dry, she went into the house. As she passed the living room, she heard a few familiar voices. It was her grandfather and her parents. Although she would have liked to go inside, she decided to change clothes first so she wouldn't catch a cold. She changed in your room. Just as Luna finished, there was a knock on the door. "Yes?" She asked. Then the door opened and her mother Keiko came in. "Hello, Luna.", She was greeted by her mother. "Mother ..." "Are you happy to see me?" "And how ..." Keiko came up to her daughter and took her in her arms."Happy birthday, my little one." "Thank you, mom." "Here my little one. I also have something for you." Keiko gave her daughter a package. She sat down on her bed with her package. “Thank you, mother.” Luna slowly opened her present. This included a chain with a black sapphire and a kimono. "Wow ... beautiful ... the kimono ... and the necklace first ... I don't even know what to say ... But I have a surprise for you too." "So? What kind of a surprise is that?" Asked Luna's mother. Luna showed her mother the oracle. "You ... you are a participant in the shaman fight?" Keiko looked at her daughter in disbelief, then called her husband. "Mikihisa! Are you coming!" Luna's father Mikihisa came immediately. "Did something happen?" He asked. "Our daughter is an official participant in the shaman tournament." "That means she passed the test ...", her father said, "Listen to me carefully, Luna. You have to take very good care of yourself.There are shamans who have no good in mind with their power. You are dangerous. "" I'll be careful, don't worry. ", Luna said." Good ... Then: Happy Birthday! ", said Mikihisa." Thank you "Suddenly the oracle pager of the 15-year-old beeped. She called up the message immediately. It was the competition rules of the tournament and the pairing of their first fight." And? What did they write to you? ", asked Keiko." The preliminary round rules and the first tournament pairing. ", answered Luna." Then: Good luck! "said her mother.

2 weeks later:
It was a clear and ice-cold March night. Luna was waiting in the park for her opponent. It was now 3 o'clock. The fight should have started at 2 a.m. // Where is she then? //, thought the waiting woman when she was suddenly spoken to. “Luna!” It was Silver. "You won without a fight because your opponent didn't show up." "Sorry ??" Luna asked. She just wasn't listening properly. Silver repeated what he had just said."You won without a fight because your opponent did not show up." "Won without a fight ..." repeated the winner, "It's a shame, really." The girl yawned. "I'd better go home now." She started to leave. "Luna wait! I'll take you home.", Silver said and walked next to her. "Who was that girl who was also in the cemetery back then?" The Patchee asked after a while. Luna stopped abruptly. "Pardon?" "I asked who the girl in the cemetery was," replied Silver. Luna went on again. "Her name is Kira Kimura.", Luna replied without registering it herself, she continued, "Kira is the twin sister of my best friend Lilly ... She hates me. Because of Lilly I was in the cemetery too. The grave where I was standing ... She died 5 years ago ... At that time we had an appointment in the park ... I was late ... When I finally got there were already a lot of policemen in the park, I asked a policewoman what had happened.She replied that a young girl had been murdered ... Lilly ... The man who had blocked my view moved and so I could take a look at the girl's corpse ... Immediately I sank to my knees. Tears ran down my cheeks ... I couldn't believe it: Lilly was dead. The policewoman I asked took me home immediately. She gave me something that Lilly had with her. It was a package, my birthday present. It was a locket with a photo on it. Since then everyone has believed I killed Lilly. Everyone except my family .. "" I see ... "Silver muttered," Sorry for reminding you. "
"Already OK." Now the two were standing in front of the front door of the Asakura property. "Well then: Good night, Luna.", Silver said and disappeared. "Ciao Silver!" Luna said and went into the house.

Shortly after she lay down, her oracle pager beeped again. Since she was still awake, she read the message immediately.The second pairing was decided. // So my opponent's name is Hao ... //, she thought, // The fight will take place at Miracle Lake in the mountains of Izumo ... If I win, I'll be one round further. // Immediately afterwards Luna fell asleep. In the 3 months until the next fight, she trained hard. When the day of the fight came, the long-haired girl came to the battlefield in the morning, although the match was supposed to take place at night. This lake was one of her favorite places in her uncomfortable home. The young shaman loved the wonderfully clear mountain air and the warm sunshine on her skin. Guardian spirit and shaman lay sleeping under a tree all day. After Luna finally woke up, it was already night. She looked at the clock. The fight would begin in half an hour. She went down to the lakeshore (please don't read drunkards, that happens to me often ^^ ´), sat down on the grass and looked at the sky. It was clear as a star. She was completely lost in thought again when she was suddenly spoken to.“The stars are beautiful tonight, aren't they?” Luna turned around, startled. Behind her stood a boy, about her age, with long, brown hair. (You have the good eyes! I want them too, then I wouldn't need glasses anymore T ^ T) "Yes they are. They haven't been that beautiful in a long time.", She replied, "So you're Hao, aren't you?" She got up and looked at her opponent. "Yes and you are Luna" The pagers of the two opponents announced the fight, whereupon it began. While Luna commanded her guardian spirit into her
