Ren was staring at the icy-blue haired Ainu girl, his usual smirked smeared across his face

A/N The beginning is more like an intro from no ones POV. The actual story will be mostly Pirika's POV sometimes switching to Ren's POV. Now on with the story!

Disclaimer: I do Not own Shaman King, like the rest of the worlds obsessive fans. I am now sad.

Ren was staring at the icy-blue haired Ainu girl, his usual smirked smeared across his face. After months of denying it, he finally figured it out. He liked her. He wanted her. Now that he realized this he new he was going to get her. He was Ren Tao, and Ren Tao always gets what he wants.

Ren was raised to believe love and friendship made you weak, that is, of course, until he met Yoh. Yoh taught him love drove you to become stronger, and after a talk with his sister and a few glances at the Ainu, Ren decided it was time to stop suppressing his feelings. He knew it would be pointless denying his love. He could feel it was strong and true. But he was still a Tao, so it was almost guaranteed that he was going to go about this the wrong way. And he did.

Ren and Pirika were sitting in homeroom one day at school and Ren decided it was time to get his feelings returned. Overconfident, as always, Ren strutted right over to Pirika and sat down in the chair next to her, still with that smirk on his face. After homeroom was math, and it was held in that same class room. He knew Pirika needed help in math. She was scraping by with a C, and he was an A+ student. She would definitely need help eventually, and he would be right there, the one that would give it to her.

When she saw how confident he was, she would most definitely be impressed. And when she saw he had good reason to be confident, she would be eating out of the palm of his hand, worshipping him like a God, just like the rest of the female population of that school.

Pirika POV

I was sitting, talking with my friends in homeroom/math, until the worst thing possible could have happened. I am talking SERIOUS misfortune. Ren Tao sat next to me. Usually I am a very happy person. My onni-chan calls me annoyingly happy sometimes. I like to give everyone a chance. But I just can't stand Ren Tao. He is arrogant, conceited, and way too confident. You could sum it up to an arrogant bastard.

My friends all love him for some reason. They just like the way he looks. I have to admit he is really good looking. And quite sexy, but I really don't care. Maybe if he were NICE he would be okay. But he isn't, and I really don't know why all of my friends are so jealous of the fact that I live with him.

"What do you want, Ren?" I asked wearily.

"Nothing! Is it a crime to sit next to one of my friends who I know needs help in math? I am just here to offer some," he stated, of course with a smirk on his face. All of my friends sighed with a look of want on their faces. Unfortunately, that just made his smirk grow bigger. I was just annoyed.

"Ren, I'm not an idiot. I may need help in math, but I don't want it from you. I know you just want to show off. Or you want something," I looked at him, expecting him to tell me what he wanted.

"Ah, Pirika, I'm the best help you can get," he reminded me. I just snorted.

"Then go help yourself to some humanity," I advised him sarcastically.

Ren frowned and left. Pirik rolled her eyes.

"Pirika!" one of her friends exclaimed.

"What is it Samire?" I asked.

"Why did you do that? Ren Tao likes you, and you turn him away!" I just gaped at her.

"Ren Tao does not like me! And even if he did, who cares? He is arrogant and overconfident. He thinks he is the best thing ever, and trust me, he's not! I live with him. I think I know him," I finished, turning back to my work.

"But Pirika!" whined Olivia, "It is sooooooo obvious he likes you!"

"Ya, do what we say, and we will prove it!" declared Amanda. I just rolled my eyes again.

"Fine, but that doesn't change the way I feel about him," I warned. They just nodded eagerly.

"Okay, what do I have to do?"

I can't believe I am going through with this! They want me to seduce Ren. Well, not seduce him, exactly, but something like that on a more minor scale.

I did promise I would do what they said though…….

Oh but why Ren?? They want me to minorly seduce him, then attempt to make him jealous!

This all seems a little cruel for the guy. I mean, sure, he isn't the greatest guy ever, but if he does like me, this is going to be hard for him. It would be for any guy out there!

Oh well. Here it goes…..

I am so sorry this chapter is so short! Trust me. The next one will be longer! I promise!
