Here I am guys!Your noble newbie,ChocolateTom-Boy!This is a story about my favourite yaoi/shounen-ai couple,Usui Horokeu and Tao Ren from Shaman King.I totally love this two so I really like to write about them!And it's funny too!Give it a try!This is Chapter 1:
CHAPTER 1:REN'S THUNDER FEAR
July 1st.Tokyo Station.Hot.A group of ten waits for the train that will get them to KARIMA Hot Springs.The group is,of course,formed from boys and girls.Who are they?The easy-going Asakura Yoh,the tough and calm Kyouyama Anna,the not so wise Usui Horokeu,the stubborn and proud Tao Ren,the cheerful Usui Pirika,the not so funny Chocolove McDonell,the beautiful and happy Tao Jun,the spooky Johann Faust VIII,the unfashionable Bokutou no Ryu and the little brain,Oyamada Manta.After a long-term fight between Anna and Yoh with the subject"Where should we go on summer holiday?"(Anna won eventually and immediately bought the tickets...),the group finally set up to Tokyo Station:
-Hey!Watch it!Move forward!Bastard!Horo shouted,annoyed at Ren's superiour smile:
-It's not me who bought these lousy tickets(luckily,Anna wasn't around...).Besides we couldn't get there by plane...,he dodgerly said,knowing this will make Horo explode:
-WELL,EXCUSE ME FOR BEIN' POOR!DO YOU ABSOLUTELY THINK THAT EVERYBODY SHOULD SERVE YOU,BECAUSE YOU'RE SOME FREAKIN' RICH GUY?!he yelled,despaired.
-Well,yes,Ren answered without hesitation.
-You son of a...!Yoh,I'm goin' back!This ass-...guy is making me wanna kill him!And it will be bloood!This car will be full of...!Horo smiled,picturing the defeated Ren,begging him for mercy,when Anna punched him:
-Why the heck did you that!?he said,but soon received another punch from Pirika:
-What's gotten into you too,P?I befriended evil creatures and I have an evil lil' sis!Horo screamed,on the verge of exploding again:
-It's too late to go back,we're here,Anna calmly said while the bus stopped.Pirika said,taking the luggage:
-Don't be rude with Anna-chan,Onii-chan!She bought the tickets for us all!
-Again with the tickets!With whose money,may I ask?he said looking at Yoh and Chocolove,who started laughing.A whispered laugh,I'll say.Jun stood up and she approached Ren:
-Are you going to be OK?There will be summer rains and...Ren blushed and he tried to answer calmly:
-I'm not a child anymore,Nee-san.Thundres are not a threat for me anymore,he said.Jun looked at him ironically and sighed.
The teams were formed..."Teams?For what?Another Shaman Fight?"you would ask.No,don' think so.For the simple reason,Yoh forgot all the maps back home.On the table.He even wrote on his hand:"MAPS!MAPS!"in capitals.Nope.No way he could remember after the good nap he took.Being a forest area,there were no maps around not,not even humans,nothing more than trees,trees and...trees.In the misfortuned lottery,Yoh paired with Anna,Manta with Faust,Ryu with Jun,Chocolove with Pirika and...Horo and Ren.We will take a sneak peek on this rather convenient turn-up:
-Great!I'm stuck,in the middle of nowhere,with this slow-brain joker.Ren mumbled annoyed.Horo answered to this reformulation of:"I'm so happy I'm with you!(in my freakin' perverted dreams...):
-It's not exactly a joy reason to be here with YOU,Bocchama(Young Master).Ren put his hands in his pockets and dodgerly said:
-How childish of you,noble Ainu!Horo snaped but he immediately started laughing:
-I can't imagine a funny Ren!Ren has to be cold and serious and cu-...!Ren immediately looked at him and Horo blushed:
-...-rious!Yeah!he continued.Ren smiled and Horo concluded:
-Come on!No need to be enemies now!LET'S FIND THAT HOT SPRING PLACE!TEAM THE REN(Incomplete though...)IN ACTION!Horo shouted,pointing forward.
-Maybe we can call it Team The Horo-Horo once in a while...Ren whispered blushing,hoping Horo didn't hear him.Wrong:
-Really?!Would you do that?!You??Horo shouted cheerfully and surprised.Ren immediately said:
-What's with that "you?!"?I'm not a beast,idiot!Horo tapped his head and Ren blushed hardly:
-Sure you're not...!Ren pushed Horo's hand.
-You-re em-ba-rass-ed!Horo said peering him.Ren mumbled:
-You child...Horo grinned and he suddenly felt very happy.That was it.Or maybe not.because as they were walking,the sky went dark and Ren's heart started to pound...
-Eh?I think we've been here before...I wonder if we should go right...what do you think,Re-!REN!Horo shouted shocked,as Ren was trembling.Horo slowly asked:
-What's with you?!You look awful!Ren raised his head and tried to smile,saying:
-It's nothing...I'm okay...just tired and...!Some drops wet his hair.Ren closed his eyes,scared.
-Don't give me that crap!Are you okay,Ren?Horo said,cradling Ren's shoulders.Ren looked at him and Horo gasped,as Ren's eyes were full of tears:
-Do you promise not to tell anybody what I'm going to say to you now?Ren asked and Horo nodded,still shocked.
-I...am afraid...of thunders...really...I hate them...go ahead laugh!With your despicable personality,I'm 100 sure you'll laugh!Ren said,annoyed at his own words.
-He...Horo said smiling.Ren looked at him,astonished.Horo said,dragging him under a hairy branch,because the rain started in force:
-Do you think I'm that much of a jerk?he said and he sat on a log.Ren sat near him,saying:
-Well,no...Horo looked at him ironically.Ren said pissed off:Ok,ok,but I really thought you would laugh!Horo smiled and he looked at the sky,melting in drops:
-So...thunders,right?Pirika used to be like that too... .All "Onii-chan,Onii-chan!"whenever it started raining!he grinned,recalling.
-And she overcame it?Ren asked hopefully.
-Yeah...I somehow managed to convince her that it's just physics stuff!Horo grinned and Ren started laughing.Horo tapped his head:
-You'll overcome it too!You're cool,Ren!Even though you're a freakin' bastard,you're cooler than me!Ren looked at him astonished all the time and he then just said:
-Thank you...Horo smiled and he then slowly started humming.
The rain was getting harder and harder for Ren to bear.Thunders were now smth usual and Horo's slight humming was very often interupted by Ren's groans.Suddenly,Horo shouted:
-IDIOT!Ren looked at him,astonished.Horo returned his look,angrily saying:
-You should've gone with Jun-san!She could've hugged you and told you...things big sisters tell their lil' bros when they're scared!
-Nee-san warned me...it was that freaky woman's decision to make,plus I wanted to surpass it!Ren said,fired up.The fire in Ren's cheeks and his expression made Horo blush.Horo snapped and once again closed his eyes and started humming.Afetr a long silence,he shyly said:
-You know...I...could...hug you if you're that afraid...he said blushing and Ren blushed a fiery red and wanted to reply,but a big thunder interrupted him and before he could tremble or groan,he felt Horo's arms hugging him tight.He,at first,struggled but he then whispered,clenching his fingers on Horo's T-shirt:
-Warm...Horo blushed at the feeling of Ren cuddling in his arms.Unknown feelings buried deep down in his heart started to heat it up."WHAT ARE YOU DOIN',BORO-BORO?THIS IS A GUY,GOD DAMN IT!AND WORSE:A BASTARD!LET GO!LET HIM GO!...why do I feel like this?!...I don't want him to be scared...I want him to be brave forever...don't cry,Ren...I'm here..."Horo messed his thoughts up and Ren looked up at him:
-The rain stopped...Horo startled and he carelessly said:
-Really?Didn't notice!Ha ha!He couldn't help to ask:
-Are you okay?Is it better?Ren replied:
-Yeah...thank you...I felt...loved...!Horo immediately looked at him,blushing.Ren said confused:
-Ah!You know what I mean...!Ah crap...I still hate you!Horo startled.Ren,too.Horo said,laughing ironically:
-Heh!So that's what I am for you?I agree I'm your enemy but...here he looked at Ren,on the verge of tears,...I'm your friend too!Doesn't that mean anything to you,Ren?Ren bit his lip,in regret.He wanted to say smth,but he really didn't know what when...beep!beep!
He took his phone out of his pocket and read the message from Yoh:"We found it!Go back at the station!Me and Ryu will pick you up!"
-Great!I really need one heck of a bath!Horo shouted,walking.Ren was walking near him,silent.
-Sorry...I kinda messed everything up...I made you feel guilty...I just want you to know...I really...am grateful for that time three years ago...you didn't have to do it for a guy like me... .Ren startled and he touched his chest,feeling the scar under his clothes.He blushed and he slowly reached Horo:
-I had to do it...Horo looked at him,blushing...for you...don't...mention it...Ren said blushing and looking at the ground.As they walked towards the station,their hands gently gripped eachother...
Few!This is chapter one!I'm warning you:they're two more to go and they;ll be full of hand grips and "accidental"fallling asleeps on the shoulder until the later confession in chapter three.The story is three years after the Shaman Fight and they'll be funny recalls too!Two more to go!Hope you like it!
