Shaman King Fan Fiction ❯ Ren & Pirika: Diaries ❯ Ren's Diary ( Chapter 1 )

[ A - All Readers ]

Diary,

If you could speak, i'd have a thousand damn questions to ask you.
I need to get it off my mind. Like, NOW. it's been bothering me ever
since i went to Asakura Yoh's place last week.

I went back to Japan to visit Yoh and Anna. They invited me and the
rest of the gang for a reunion. Hmph. As much as i hate to admit it,
i do miss the them all.

Ever since the end of the Shaman Fight, everyone's been busy growing
up. Yep, even me. Although i will always be the Great Tao Ren, i'd
seen some changes in myself. Like I'm slightly taller, thanks to all
that milk i religiously drink daily. And my spike, or the tongari
as the rest would call it, its grown too. TONGARI. how dare they
make fun of my hair,the greatest thing about me other than myself.
I will get them someday, especially Horohoro. That baka. And not only
that, my emotions.. well they've changed too. dammit.

So i wasted time flying to Japan in one of the 32 jets i had (it used
to be 33, until that bastard mongrel Hao decided to destroy the jet
that the gang was using to travel to America. What a showoff. Watch out,
Hao.)

Heck. Yoh was still pretty much his laid-back and lazy self. And anna,
she's still the fierce woman lording over yoh. i have to admit,they'd
make an amazing couple. it's like ying and yang. Yoh is the lazy bummer
and Anna is one who won't take nonsense from him. I wonder who their
child would turn out to be like in the future? Anyhow, i still hold
great respect for Anna. She sure as hell can control her man. I still
don't get how a lazy bummer like Yoh could be come shaman king. Perhaps
the reason was Anna. Hell he's sure one lucky bastard.

The rest had reached there earlier. Of course, the Great Ren Tao shouldn't
be waiting for others should he? i came late, and it was surprising Anna
didn't scream her head off at me for being late. Perhaps it was this mutual
respect two great people have for each other.

Ah. The idiot of an Ainu decided to greet me with a dramatic effect.
"HOW'S MY FAVOURITE TONGARI BOY DOING!!!!???" or something to that
annoying effect, while pouncing and playing with my spike. i almost
killed him with all my rage but suddenly someone caught my eye..

And there she was. the idiot's sister, Pirika.

My head and heart decided to be an ass and stopped functioning
momentarily the minute my eyes set upon her. "wh-what?" was all i
could say to her.

She stared at me in a blank for two seconds and suddenly burst out
laughing. What an idiot, laughing at nothing? i demanded to know
her reason for the outburst.

"You are so much more taller! And can u recognise me at all, tongari boy?"
"Dammit woman, of course I am taller. Milk does wonders you know."
"Ah," she replied and smiled.

THAT SMILE. it suddenly radiated her very essence. suddenly, she
was so.. beautiful. Yes, that was it. She was beautiful. She's grown
now. I never thought i'd pay attention to the ainu brat who was the
sister of an idiot Ainu who also somehow became my best friend.

Pirika. wasn't she the annoying one a few years back?

I didn't say much the rest of dinner. Pirika sat opposite me. horo
was as usual tending to his bottomless stomach with yoh's/anna's cooking.
pirika was chattering away with anna and tamao. and yoh, well he just
grinned like he always did.

and what did I, the Great Tao Ren do as i ate?

I observed the pretty Pirika.

I dont know if i should be ashamed of myself.

But dammit, why was i looking at her?
What issit about her that managed to make my heart race with excitement?
Why was i feeling this way?

It wasnt the only incident that night.
She came and talked to me after dinner, right when i was silently
staring at the moon outside thinking about.. well, HER.

"Ren!"
"WHAT?"
"Can i tell you something?"
"Spit it out. If not, leave."
"You're suddenly so cute!"
"wHAT?!??"
"Has no girl ever told you that before REN? Why Are you blushing?"
"Go away, woman"
"Alright, Ren.. I'd love to have a chat with you though"
"Perhaps another time"

With that she skipped back into the Inn. And my face became as red
as a baboon's ass under the moonlight. Damn woman, what the hell was
she doing to my heart?!?

I'd stared at her from far the next few days. She didn't talk to me, perhaps
she knew that i was SHY. Dammit. nobody ever saw the GREAT ONE being shy.
Or perhaps.. its just that no girl ever made me feel this way..

She smiled every time she saw me anyway.

"Goodbye Ren-kun! I'd like to see you again someday!"
she waved at me as i left in my limo. I just gave her my arrogant
smirk as always.

Now i've come back to china, i can't stop thinking about her.
Perhaps.. this is what they call love?

I think i want to see her soon.

No, I am a Tao and Father never taught me to feel this way..
But Father had been teaching me all the wrong things all this while
hasn't he?

Who cares about Father, he's demented.
I shall see her again.

Pirika..
