sword, her counterpart didn't have to say anything. Suddenly there was a flaming sword in his hand. The fight had started. Luna attacked Hao first, but Hao easily evaded all attacks. Now he attacked too. The attacked could only just avoid him. "You're good," she muttered more to herself than to her opponent. Finally she attacked again - and hit. "Direct hit!" She called. But Hao had intercepted their attack."There is no such thing. I got him full, he doesn't even have a scratch ???" "My spirit of fire caught your lame sword blow." Hao attacked mercilessly. During her evasive maneuver, Luna landed backwards in the ice-cold mountain lake water. Despite the shock, she did not resolve the over-soul state. She quickly climbed ashore. She was freezing. She was soaked to the bone. She got up cautiously. “Let's keep fighting.” With these words she attacked. The water that had sucked into her clothes slowed her down significantly. "If you want to meet me, you should pay more attention to my movements," said Hao. "You are really good ..." Luna said "And you are weak!" "I know. I know. But you are much stronger than you are." Hao launched a series of counter attacks. Luna's pain slowly became visible (scratches, painful groaning ...). Even so, she kept attacking, this time paying attention to his movements. It really hit him this time, but only lightly on the arm."Well done, you met me.", He praised (everyone else would only dream about it) "But now the fun is over!" The attacks of the brown-haired man were much stronger this time than before. After a few blows, Luna went down. She knelt in front of Hao, breathing heavily, wet, trembling and bleeding. //I can not anymore. I lost ... // she thought. Her opponent came up to her, took the sword from her hand and held it to her throat. "Give up! You have lost. If you refuse, you will die," he said in a tone that made Luna freeze. She released her Furyoku and gave up. "It would have made no sense to keep fighting now ..." she muttered. Slowly, and above all carefully, she got up. In doing so, she supported herself, rather unintentionally, on her opponent, who helped her up. "Thanks ..." she muttered painfully. She slowly walked home past Hao. "Ciao ..." It was almost a miracle that Luna made it home safely (?).There she first took a hot bath and tended her wounds. Then she went to sleep.

When the young shaman woke up the next morning, her limbs were still very painful (from the fight). Even though she could barely move, she got up anyway. She changed slowly and then went to the kitchen for breakfast. Her grandfather Yomei Asakura and his student Tamao Tamamura were already sitting there. "Good morning," Luna said gently. "Good morning Luna!" Said Tamao-short Tami -friendly. "Good morning," said Yomei. She sat down painfully with the two of them. "How did the fight go yesterday?" Asked her grandfather. "How to take it. I lost it, but I think I can be happy that I'm still alive. Everything still hurts me now.", His granddaughter replied meekly. "Ohhh ... I see ..." Yomei muttered. "Your injuries don't look good at all, Luna.", Tami said, "Should I have a look at them right away?" "That would be really nice." "Who was your opponent?"asked the old Asakura." His name was Hao. "replied the white-haired girl," He's really very strong ... I didn't stand a chance against him. "The old Onmyo mumbled something that the two girls didn't understand. Then he got up and left the room. After the two had finished breakfast and cleared the table, they went to Luna's room. There, Tami bonded her friend still strongly bleeding wounds and prescribed strict bed rest so that the injuries had a chance to heal. She had to stay in bed for a few days before she could finally get up again. First she went to the kitchen. She was hungry. Luna was amazed, when she saw her brother Yo and his fiancée Anna in the kitchen. "Y… Yo? Anna? What are you doing here? "she asked, startled." Hello Lu. (Lu = Luna's nickname) How are you? Ohh you look pretty battered. What happened then? ", he asked back," I'm here because I have to train for the shaman tournament.But: what happened? ", replied the brown-haired." I lost a fight and my opponent pretty much ruined me. "replied his sister." Fight? Do you take part in the tournament? ", asked Anna. Asked nodded:" Yep. " "And? How far are you? "" I "won" the first one. Not the second. And even? " "Also. Won the first, not the second. "Suddenly one of the two pagers in the room beeped. Both looked. Luna's had beeped. She immediately called up the incoming message. It was the news about her next fight and the whereabouts of her penultimate opponent. Her opponent Marika was found dead near the battlefield. "Oh you ...", Luna muttered perplexed. "What happened? ", Yo asked carefully." My first opponent of the tournament did not show up for the fight, now I know why: She is dead! ", his sister answered a little hesitantly." Dead? ", the brown-haired one asked again. She just nodded.To divert attention from this topic, she said: "My last one will take place in Tokyo in a few days." "Good luck," Anna mumbled and Yo nodded in agreement. She trained hard for the last few days, after all, she didn't want to lose this match too. That evening, Luna was at the Tokyo Tower, the battlefield, and waited for her opponent. This was not long in coming. "Luna Asakura!" Someone growled behind her. She turned around, "And you are Yuala, right?" "Exactly. And I will never let myself be defeated by a third-class shaman like you!", Yuala said. “We'll see!” Then the fight began. Now that both were in the over-soul state, Yuala attacked first. But the attacked dodged their attacks, despite the pain that was still from the last fight, playfully. Now Luna attacked. The training paid off. After a few hard blows, Yuala was on the ground, but she was not yet defeated. The girl stood up again. She attacked her opponent without mercy.The black-haired Yuala pushed the asakura girl further and further into a corner. After further lashes from her opponent, the white-haired woman was also quite weakened. With a final attack she still managed to win. Yuala had no more furyoku. Yuala was shocked she had lost. Startled, she ran away. Perplexed about her victory, she went back to the hotel. The next morning she took the train back to Izumo.

The first person Luna met at home was Tami. "Hello Tami!" She greeted her friend. "Luna, you are back! And how was your last preliminary round fight? Are you in the next round?" "Yes, I won. I'm in the next round!" Answered the asked. "Juhuuu!", The smaller one (Tami) was happy. Then she went into the house with Luna. Inside in the living room were Yo and Anna. Again the young shaman was asked about the outcome of the fight. Again she was congratulated.Since Anna wanted to discuss something important with Yo, Tami went into the kitchen to cook lunch and the white-haired shaman trained the fight with her grandfather's shikigami. After a while she got company. It was a short boy with dark blond hair. She had caught him with an attack against the Shikigami (note: never get too close to a shaman during training ^. ^). She immediately stopped training to help the little boy. She ran to him. "Are you okay? I'm sorry my attack caught you," she asked, a little worried. "Yes, everything's okay with me.", Answered the little one. When he was back on his feet, Yo came outside. "Hey Manta! What are you doing here?" "Hello Yo! I thought I would come and visit you. I couldn't believe that what you said to me should be true.", Manta replied, "When I told her wanted to ask for you, she blew me away ... "With that he looked up at Luna. "I said I'm sorry.I thought you were a Shikigami ... ", she apologized again. Yo laughed." May I introduce you to my older sister Luna? Manta this is Luna Asakura my older sister, Luna this is Manta Oyamada my best friend. " "I am pleased to meet you. ", Luna said." Me too. ", Manta replied." Hey Manta ... ", Yo said," about the other day ... I'm sorry for what I said to you, I didn't mean it. "" It's okay ... I understand. ", Manta said with a smile. Suddenly it started to thunderstorms." We'd better go inside. ", Yo's sister suggested. Everyone nodded. Then everyone went into the living room. Together with Anna and Tami they sat down at the table." The second round will begin soon. ", Anna muttered," Yo you have to win! "" Sure, Anna ", he said with his typical Yo smile." Um, how many people actually live here? The property is huge! ", Manta asked a little hesitantly. Tami replied:" The house is just old. More people used to live here.The main shrine of the Asakura was built 600 years ago, but the property itself and some smaller shrines were built over 1000 years ago. When shamans became more influential, 171 people lived here. But over time they lost their influence. Now only Master Yomei and landlady Keiko live here with their daughter Luna. "" There are four of you living here! ", Manta was startled. Tami nodded and Yo asked:" Where are mom and grandpa? "" Grandfather is with a politician and mother is with the women's association in China. "answered his sister." And where is father? "" Somewhere in the mountains, I think. "" I see ... "After a few days of training, Yo, Anna and Manta drove back to Tokyo. During this time Luna learned that she had to go to Dobie Village for the next round, so she packed the most important things in one Carry bag.

A few days later she flew to America on a family private plane. The flight was peaceful until the right wing caught fire over America.Then this crashed. Luna was able to save herself and the pilot just in time before it crashed to the ground. She made sure that the pilot was picked up. Then she set out on foot to Dobie Village. She was in the middle of the desert. It was hot. In the distance she could see a city. First she wanted to go there to find out how to get there. After a few hours of
