Author's Note: Shoot me if this has been done before for Shaman King. Anyway, this is basically for anyone who, like me, has ever wondered what it would be like to marry their Mankin guy (or girl... if you'd like). The first one's Yoh, I'm currently writing up Hao for the second, and I'll take any requests for the order of the guys after that. Don't worry, I'll get to everyone eventually.
Disclaimer: I don't own Shaman King or any of the characters. They all belong to Hiroyuki Takei. This fanfic is purely for amusement, I have no intention of making any money off it.
xxx ASAKURA YOH
Appearance: A bishounen in that cute way, often smiling. He's got dark brown hair, black eyes, and always seems to be wearing big, orange headphones (ever wonder if they were permanently attached to his head?), but you've got to admit they look good on him. He's got a few more years of growth in him, too, since he's only thirteen.
Clothing: Sandals are his usual footwear. When in a shaman fight, he sports a black and orange outfit made for him by Anna. Other times it's an unbuttoned jacket-shirt-thing that shows his chest and green pants, rolled up at the bottom.
Intelligence: Don't let his carefree attitude affect your judgement. Sure he sleeps during class, but he aces with flying colors thanks to the brainy and athletic ghosts that haunt his school. He's not interested in academics, but he knows how to use things to his advantage. So overall: smart kid. Who needs education anyway?
Personality/Socializing: A sweet, laid-back kind of guy who's ready to make friends with everyone. Yoh is very open, so he'd accept you as a friend without hesitation as long as you don't harm him or anyone else he's close to. He lives by the quote, "Everything will work out." At times he may be slow to catch onto things, but that just makes him all the more adorable.
Finances: Yoh's a talented boy, I'm sure you two'll work something out.
Home Economics: I'd reckon Yoh'd be pretty capable around the house, thanks to Anna's torture - I mean training. He's usually the one who does the cooking around the house, and even though Anna critiques him on its edibility, no one in Shaman King's died of food poisoning yet so, no worries. The only problem could be his lazyness. Work doesn't appeal to Yoh, but give him a good kick in the rear and he's off like a trooper.
Combat: Yoh's no pushover. Throw him something sword-like and a samurai spirit and he's got the makings of a Shaman King. Go figure. He'd be able to protect you, no sweat.
Competition: Disregarding the many fangirls he must have around the world, there's the problem of Yoh's fiancée: Anna Kyouyama, and the shy admirer: Tamao. It's clear Anna loves Yoh and will definitely put up a fight (prepare to be bitchslapped into the ground). If by some miracle you get past the itako, Tamao shouldn't be a big problem. In fact, she'll probably let you have him.
Family: The Asakura family is a family of shamans, and they're hell-bent on continuing their legacy. So unless you're a shaman, I'm not sure they'd approve of you and Yoh 100%. But there's a simple way of getting around that little issue: elope. He's also got a twin brother (ancestor), Hao, who is reborn every five hundred years old and tries to kill/absorb him throughout the series. Yep. So that's the low-down on your in-laws.
In Bed: I can see Yoh being a passionate lover (lots of groping and whispering sweet words), but being the caring guy he is, he'd never do anything without your consent. Nothing too extreme I'd think. In the morning, you'd wake up to the sight of a cute boy sleeping peacefully beside you. It's every girls' fantasy, at one point of their lives.
Conclusion: Kind, carefree, and nice to have around the house, Yoh would be a very nice catch, if you can get past Anna. Your best shot would be friends first, then lovers. And even if romance doesn't work out, he'll continue to be a devoted, lifelong friend. Go for it, you've got nothing to lose!
A/N: If you disagree or have something to add, don't hesitate to let me know. Next chapter will be uploaded soon.
