Xing smiled. "Er....anyone here know where Tokyo Tower is, anyway?"

Abby raised her hand."I do!",she said proudly.

"Great, because I'm clueless!" Xing replied happily.

"I thought you lived here." Elliot said.

"About all I know is the way to school and back. And to the library. And cram school." Xing replied. "I don't really get out much."

Abby grinned."lets go"

Xing smiled as they left the house. "So, when's your next fight, Elliot?" He asked.

"Haven't gotten word yet." Elliot replied.

Abby looked to Elliot."make sure you let us know"

Elliot nodded. "I will." She replied.

Abby smiled."good!" ,she said as she led them to tokyo tower.

The group got there just before the clock struck 2:00 pm. "Any minute now," Xing said.

Abby nodded looking around.

Then, someone giggled from above. Looking up, Xing saw Shinling. Her hair was done up in a bun with the rest hanging down, and it was still longer than she was tall. She was wearing a gothic-lolita outfit, and wasn't any older than ten. "HIIII BIG BROTHER!!!" She shouted from the second tier.

Yukina blinked."thgats your little sister?"

Xing nodded. "She's...not sane." He said. "Get down here, runto!" He shouted to Shinling in Chinese.

"Hm....nope!" Shinling replied with a giggle. "I'm not coming down till it's time to fight! I'm gonna have fun chopping you up!"

Abby sighed."not sane is right,shes a plane loonie",she then blinked."er, sorry Xing",she said worried she offened him.

"Trust me, I'm not insulted." Xing replied. "Just get your puny ass down here, you little runt! Or do you want me to beat you into the ground?!"

"Oooooh, nice and mad already!" The little girl giggled cheerfully, still speaking in Chinese. "I bet your blood will be extra sweet when I'm done with you!"

"That's just plain sick," Elliot said. Xing looked to her in surprise, no knowing the Native American knew Chinese. "I'm glad you didn't get that DNA."

"You and me both." Xing muttered.

Abby growled looking to Xing. "dont let her get to you, you can win this",she said grinning.

Xing nodded as the proctor stepped up. "I see both Shamans are here." He said. "All who are not participating in this fight, stand back."

Yukina gave the procter a dirty look ,he was at Xings first fight,and did nothing to stop faust when the fight had ened.Sighing she stepd back."you can do it!"

Shiki nodded."yeah,shoow that little maniac whoes boss"

Someone giggled behind them. "I didn't know the boy would be on his feet this soon, let alone alive." Faust said from behind the group. "Oh, don't mind me, I'm just here to watch the fight. And gather any...specimens after."

Abby growled and werled around."you!",she said and went to lunge at him but Shiki held her back,"easy Abby, he wont do a damn thing,if he does , hes eleminated form the competishon"

"Correct." Faust said. "The boy knows the rules. And since I want to be the Shaman King, I have no intentions of eliminating myself."

The proctor ignored Faust. "Opponents, ready yourselves." He said.

Shinling jumped down from her perch and landed safely on her feet, several feet accross from Xing. "Time to die, big brother." She said.

"Not happening." Xing said as the proctor raised his hand.

Abby gve faust a cold death look,before looking towards the fight."come on Xing!"

Shiki grined."kick some ass!"

The proctor brought his hand down. "Begin!"

Xing held his hand out, and Bason reverted to Spirit Flame mode. "Bason, into the puado!" He shouted.

"Yinlun, into the machete!" Shinling said, and then charged at Xing.

Xing blocked with the staff of his puado. "I know all your techniques, runt." He said, slamming his foot into Shinling's gut.

Abby grined."great start1"

Shiki nodded."agreed"

"Owwie! That hurt, meanie!" Shinling whined.

"Quit complaining." Xing replied. He came at her with an attack of his own, which she blocked with her machete. In response, Xing feinted to the left and flipped his puado around at the same time, getting Shinling in the stomach a second time with the butt of the puado.
