Karaoke craziness
I don't own Shaman king, so don't sue me. Reposted. Review!
1. Please, don't go
It was a warm night and our heroes (Yoh, Manta, Ren, Horo, Ryu, Lyserg, Anna, Jun, Faust and Tamao) still wandered on the streets, on their journey.
"I'm hungry" Horo complained
"I'm thirsty" Yoh said
They could barely walk. They were still in America.
"What is that!" Ren asked
They stopped in front of what seemed to be a karaoke club.
"Food! Drinks!" Horo jumped.
"Anna, can we…please?" Yoh asked
"Okay, let's go in" she answered.
They entered and sat around a large table. A waitress brought them a can with water and glasses. Ryu ordered juices and snacks and tried to flirt with the waitress, but she said she was engaged, so he gave up. The others were watching a girl sing on stage. The waitress soon returned with a song book.
"What is it, Manta, do you want to sing?" Ren asked him, seeing the boy grab the book.
"Maybe I do!"
"I bet you'll embarrass yourself if you do it" Ren added. "Plus, you don't have the courage to on stage"
"I'll second that bet" Lyserg interfered.
"We'll see" Manta answered. "And if you lose, you two will each have to sing a song that I choose"
"Deal!" they said.
Manta looked for a few minutes in the book, then stood up and walked towards the DJ.
"Okay, everybody, there is a boy here that wants to prove he's a good singer. I give you Manta singing number 72!"
Manta walked on stage and grabbed the microphone.
"This song is for all beautiful girls in the room, especially for my friend. For you, Tamao"
"Huh?"
Tamao blushed when a spotlight came upon her. Manta smiled and started to move in the rhythm of the music.
'Please, don't go, please, don't go,
Don't you know that I love you so?
Say you're mine and give me tonight
Let's stay together
Please, don't go, please, don't go,
You're the only angel I know
Who was sent from Heaven above
To love me forever
Don't go, don't go…'
Tamao smiled happily when she heard him sing and started to move her head, carried away by the melody. Yoh, Horo and Ryu stood up and cheered for Manta.
'If you leave me
You let a good thing fall apart
If you deceive me
You leave a pain inside my heart
I really need you
Just like the air I need to breathe
I'll stand aside you
I'll never leave
Please, don't go, please, don't go,
Don't you know that I love you so?
Say you're mine and give me tonight
Let's stay together
Please, don't go, please, don't go,
You're the only angel I know
Who was sent from Heaven above
To love me forever
Don't go, don't go…'
Half the people in the room were up on their feet to dance and cheer for Manta, a thing that made him trust his talent. He began to sing with more passion, as the song was going straight into Tamao's heart.
'If you leave me
You're gonna spoil a thing we shared
If you leave me
I'm gonna miss the way you cared
I will try harder
I'll make you fall in love again
And I'll be faithful
Until the end
Please, don't go, please, don't go,
You're the only angel I know
Who was sent from Heaven above
To love me forever
Don't go…'
Most of the persons in the room cheered for him. He felt important for the first time in his life, so he did something he thought he'll never have the courage to do: he walked to the table, took Tamao's hand and returned with her on stage.
'If you leave me
I'm gonna search the world for you
If you leave me
Sweet memories will shine on through
I'll always love you
No matter what you'll do or say
Cause when I touch you
Lighters are laid'
Tamao blushed hearing this, but she came to her senses quick. They sang the last part together.
'Please, don't go, please, don't go,
I don't want to be all alone
Say you're mine and give me tonight
Let's stay together
Please, don't go, please, don't go,
You're the only angel I know
Who was sent from Heaven above
To love me forever
Don't go, don't go…'
Everyone applauded (even Ren and Lyserg who knew what was next) while watching Manta return happy from the stage with a crimson red but smiling Tamao.
