Title : What are the odds?
Author : Tokyo Fox
Rated : T
Disclaimer : If I owned Shaman King I so wouldn't disclaim.
Notes ; The best way to describe this one is Semi-AU with OOC and It's just a fanfic for Shaman King fans that I hope Shaman King fans will like... Put it in any time frame you want...
Summery ; Anna desides that Manta needs a girlfriend and she even knows who it should be but is Pirika of all girls really the best choise? Anna is going to try to prove it is !
P.S. Flames about the pairing will be ignored by me because I'm not intrested in the opinons of such people and imagnation is what Fanfiction is all about. So even a Manta/Pirika pairing should NEVER be flamed just because it's a Manta/Pirika pairing.
Manta/Pirika ; Also some minor Anna/Yoh
On to story NOW!

Chapter 1 : Anna's plan
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was almost a fairly normal for a hot day at the house that Anna and Yoh called home. It would've been more normal had Manta been there but he had family things to deal with and so he wasn't there that day . Not that it would've changed much but Anna might not have desided to say what was on her mind that day to Yoh had Manta been there...
"Yoh I've been thinking something about Manta lately." Anna said with her best-- I've desided something look .
" Should i be jealous of my best friend now :He joked with his big dumb grin.
Yoh received a lump on his head thanks to Anna's handfan for that 'JOKE'.
" I've been thinking that Manta needs a girlfriend. " Anna said with that look again.
" And you desided on yourself! " He joked again.
He received a even bigger second lump for that one.
" Get real! Can't you see I'm being serious here? " Anna asked with her coldest look.
" OK! OK! I get the picture you want to set up Manta with a girl. So have you desided who's going to be the lucky girl? " Yoh asked with a shiver from that cold look in Anna's eyes.
" Yes! With Pirika! " Anna with that look again..
" Pirika? " Yoh gave her a look that screamed YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING!
" Pirika! " Anna with a smile and a strange happy look in her eyes.
" Not that I'm complaining but why her? Talk about your odd couples and not mention that Pirika isn't even interested in him. " Yoh shivering in fear at that new look in Anna's eyes because it scared him more than Anna's deathglare... Well almost as much.
" For one thing; Odd couples often prove to be the best ones; Two Pirika is intrested in Manta. " Anna said in a tone that screamed : I know what I'm talking about.
" What make you say that? I never even seen her trying to get that close to him. " Yoh said with doubt in his voice.
" Oh I'll admit that she sees him as friend most of the time but they did hug that one time. "Anna said with a grin.
" But that was an accident or ay least that's what Manta said. " Yoh replyed. What was with Anna today? he wondered.
" You mean that's what Pirika wanted everybody to think... But trust me Pirika didn't do it accidently. Girls like her don't hug a boy like that unless she has at least a little intrest. " Anna said with that unnerving grin again.
" I think you're reading into it too much but it's obvious you've made up your mind about this one... So how do you plan on getting the two of them together? " Yoh asked her but wasn't too sure what she she was thinking.
" There's a carnival tomarrow; We'll have a little outing with our friends and after that all I need is to give them a little time to themselves. " Anna said as if were going to be easy.
" Oh come on! Even I know it's going to take more than one date even if it's one created by you. " Yoh replyed because he still had his doubts.
" Of course it will! But I have to start somewhere and becides by the time i'm though with them they be so in love with each other that they'll end up engaged like us." Anna said with that grin again.
" I don't know about that one. Manta's a good friend and all but... " Yoh had a tone and voice that screamed; Now I know you're kidding.
" I don't believe it! You don't think that Manta can get a girl like Pirika for a girlfriend! I thought you were Manta's best friend! " Anna interrupted Yoh with an unhappy look
" Well I... It's just... Ok Ok I'll admit that i do think he comes up short when to the getting a girlfriend stuff but think about it; he's not a cool hunk like me, Ren and HoroHoro. " Yoh said with his ego clearly showing but he was glad to see Anna acting a little more like Anna again.
" You're not quite the hunk you think you are. " Anna replyed with a yet another new grin.
" Oh really? Then what attracted you to me? " Yoh said because relizede that this might be a good time to find out how Anna felt about him.
Anna almost blushed which wasn't normal for her but then again Yoh almost never questioned their relationship.
" If you mean by your outward apperance.. I'd have to say it was your hair. " Anna said with a different kind of smile.
" My hair? You mean that you think best thing about me is my hair? " Yoh said in a tone of disbelief.
" That's right.. You don't exactly have a buff body... More like scrawny and weak and your face is nice enough but it's not much better than any boy's you'd see on any street. " Anna said with a serious look.
" You see girls are more intrested in what you're like on the inside than what you look like... But I'll admit there are a few girls where looks are more important but I'm not one of them. " Anna said a matter of fact voice.
Yoh's ego looked a little deflated much to Anna's satisfaction. It would seem that Yoh still had a lot to learn what a girl would find attactive.
" So you think that Pirika is like you when it comes to guys? " Yoh asked with a queationing tone in his voice
" Most girls are and I know Pirika is that way because we're friends and as her friend we talk about what we like to see in a guy. " Anna replyed in a voise that screamed ; You got a lot to learn.
" And you're really going to try to put Pirika and Manta together? " Yoh asked flatly.
" Yes I am! " Anna said with that grin again.
" Well I know I can't stop you but I think you're bitting off more than you can chew. But there's no way you'll pull this one off. " Yoh said confidentially.
" Oh really?... I bet one week off from training that I can turn the two of them into lovebirds. " Anna said with equil confidence.
" Make it two weeks off from training and you got a deal! " Yoh said confident that he was going to win.
" Agreed; But if you try to intrefere in any way It'll be a month of the training month from hell for you. " Anna said because she was sure that she would win.
" Fair enough... Boy this is the easiest bet I'll ever win. " Yoh said with a great big grin.
" Don't be so sure of that. " Anna said with a strangely calm smile...
End of Chapter 1...
Yeah, Yeah I know it's a short chapter but I want to get a few nonflamming opinons That means flamers about the pairing will be ignored about this one before I continue and more importantly a few ideas on Manta's and Pirika's first date ?
