By Me. Mashou no Tenshi. Yahoo. ...So, I had this really clever idea in my head for a bit, then my baby sister started playing her stupid annoying kiddy games for Lego and gay stuff like that and the twanky music twisted my mind so much I forgot. -twitches- Way too short, way too dumb, way too OOC apparent, way too plotless…BUT IT'S A FIC SO LEAVE ME ALONE. ARGH.

Disclaimer: The twanky music made me forget my clever disclaimer in my head, too...so, I don't own Shaman King, or the song "The Reason" by Hoobastank, flat out. Pity, ain't it?

The Reason

-

-

Anna didn't have a date for White Day.

-

-

She had never had one, in her entire life. And it hadn't bothered her much—until now. She was fifteen, and dateless. All her friends had dates: Pirika had baleful Ren, Jeanne had self-doubting Lyserg, and even shy Tamao had Horo Horo.

I'm not a perfect person

There are many things I wish I didn't do

But I continue learning

I never meant to do those things to you

And so I have to say before I go

That I just want you to know

-

-

No one had ever asked her. Until Asakura Yoh came along, of course. And when she inquired why he had asked her on a date, he simply answered, smiling as usual…

-

-

I've found a reason for me

To change who I used to be

A reason to start over new

And the reason is you

-

-

'I believe you can be a better person, Anna-chan,' he had said cheerfully. 'Everyone thinks of you as an ice queen. You like to torture me and other guys, but I think you can change. Can't you?'

-

-

I'm sorry that I hurt you

It's something I must live with everyday

And all the pain I put you through

I wish that I could take it all away

And be the one who catches all your tears

That's why i need you to hear

-

-

On their date, later, she finally spoke up. 'I think I will change, Yoh.'

-

-

I've found a reason for me

To change who I used to be

A reason to start over new

And the reason is you

-

-

He gave her a puzzled look, like he didn't know why. But she knew he did.

-

-

I've found a reason for me

To change who I used to be

A reason to start over new

And the reason is you

-

-

'It's because of you.'

-

-

I've found a reason for me

To change who I used to be

A reason to start over new

And the reason is you

-

-

'I never really meant to hurt you (much, anyway)…'

-

-

I've found a reason for me

To change who I used to be

A reason to start over new

And the reason is you

-

-

'You've been so kind to me…'

-

-

I'm not a perfect person

I never meant to do those things to you

And so I have to say before I go

That I just want you to know

-

-

'I just want you to know…I've found a reason…for me to change who I used to be…'

-

-

I've found a reason for me

To change who I used to be

A reason to start over new

And the reason is you

-

-

He smiled now, leaning forward slightly in anticipation.

-

-

I've found a reason to show

A side of me you didn't know

A reason for all that I do

And the reason is you

-

-

'And that reason is you.'

-

-

I've found a reason to show

A side of me you didn't know

A reason for all that I do

And the reason is you

And the reason is you

And the reason is you...
