Yoh Asakura Quest (Shaman King)

Just as the Greater Oni before you raises its clawed arm to attempt to cleave you in twain, you pull out the Yata-no-Kagami, once more about to use the divine instrument to calmly smash the demon before you to pieces.

Your Reishi was going wild around this one, whereas yesterday’s Oni was just a lump of negative emotions given solid presence, like an oversoul. This one was had an elementary intelligence.

It wanted Anna to suffer, it wanted her alone, and if anyone got close to her than it would kill them.

The only reason Grandma Kino was never attacked by this one was that she was always behind the inn’s protections, the few Oni that managed to get in had all been extremely weakened.

This one was no fool, because of this and its intentions to Anna you were going to kill it.

With great ease you Oversoul with Tamamo, cleaving the Oni’s arm down the middle with ease.

Fear. The moment you felt that from the Oni you knew it was too late as it dispersed its form into the collective of spirit orbs that made it up and fled. Next time you’d have to make sure it wouldn’t have the chance to flee.

Turning to Anna you can feel her shock, awe, and joy. Standing before her, was someone who wasn’t scared of her, who was like her, who wished to be with her and protect her from her tormentors and possessed the power to deal with them.

You walk towards her as tears of joy form in her eyes. The tears flow down her face freely as you hug her, tears running down your face as well as you let yourself be swept in with her emotions, smiling.

This girl, who suffered greatly at the hands of her own powers, was a kindred spirit to you, and you would be damned before you let someone hurt her again like that Oni did for she is someone you could freely love with all your heart.

That evening you and Anna sat together in the inn’s sitting room watching TV.

The both of you leaning on each other, even as your grandma and Matamune came in for a moment before heading to the baths.

As Soul Bob, and Anna’s favorite singer Amayaringo, took their turns singing at the new year’s music festival.

You could understand why Anna likes Amayaringo, they both put on facade’s in order to protect themselves and others.

Anna doesn’t bother trying to convince you to leave, she already knows you won’t. Not only that she knows that you think she’s cute and that you believed she was was a great person. Though this earned you a slap, you just laugh off the stinging sensation, for some reason your training in ignoring pain just never works with her slaps.

“Hey Anna, after the singing is done want to go to the temple.” You ask quietly, “I know the large crowd would be difficult for the both of us but...a temple is the best place to speak of wishes. It doesn’t even matter if prayers would help you control your powers. If you want I’ll simply destroy any Oni that comes up, or take you away from there.”

Anna blushes and replies, “Sure.”

The two of you once more settle down and listen to the songs as the new year draws ever closer.

As the two of you head to the temple, you calm Anna’s worries down and tell her that it doesn’t matter if there is trouble or not, if she never takes that first step how will she be able to control her rampant power.

There is always a way, you just have to realize it. This is what you wished to impart to her, the girl who had been repeatedly wounded emotionally and only now is her heart opening up once more.

When the two of you reach the boundary area of the temple both of you clutch your heads in agony. The hopes and worries of the people at the temple overwhelming the two of you.

Through blurry eyes, you see Matamune battling an Oni nearby, it was the same one that escaped you, however the cleaved limb had regenerated and looked as if it was bulging with muscles. It’s body also seemed to be turning into a brilliant crimson.

You and Anna let out a scream as Oni start to congregate around you and the Greater Demon, attracted to the emotions passing through the two of you thanks to your Reishi.

Immediately as the lesser demons congregate the larger monster begins to devour them, absorbing their negativity to feed itself and grow more powerful.

“Aaaaaaaaah!!!!” You and Anna scream in agony as more and more Oni gather and are devoured.

Soon enough the Greater Oni’s appearance had completely changed. The devouring of countless lesser Oni had transformed it into an Oh-Oni, a King Ogre.

As soon as the Oh-Oni took form, the agony you and Anna were under quieted, apparently its devouring of the countless Oni reduced the number of emotions flowing into the two of you.

You both could only stare, the size of this beast was greater than anything you’ve encountered or read about.

Smirking the Oh-Oni jabbed a finger at Matamune, poking him with enough force to send him flying back.

A short battle between the Oh-Oni and Matamune ended as the split-tailed cat spirit was pummeled into the nearby woods. Despite its massive size, the Oh-Oni possessed speed rivaling its brute strength which was too much for Matamune.

AN: First thing first, the Oh-Oni is stronger than Matamune who has a Reiryoku level of 200,000.

Also the Greater Oni managed to roll a 95 on an Escape roll, you guys weren’t stopping him from fleeing.

Tell me of any spelling errors and how to smoothen things along.

Have fun and be sure to vote.
