The first time I listened to this song, I just thought of Ren straight away. I've been meaning to write it down for ages, but I'm a lazy wierdo who never does anything. Disclaimer: If I owned Shaman king, they wouldn't be able to show it on kid's TV channels. Plus Marco and Ryu would die horribly. (Dances) Incarceration

Yoh hated Ren's father.

As soon as Ren had finally plucked up the courage to tell his family that he had fallen in love with a guy…

Well, the rest is history. Ren was now imprisoned in the place he hated the most. The place he had called 'home' for most of his pain-filled childhood.

Not for long. Yoh was coming for him. He would be free soon.

Yoh crept into the room where Ren was being held. A freezing, dark dungeon. All of his belongings were heaped in one corner and Ren himself was in another. He was curled up, crying out and sobbing in his sleep.

Wake from your dreams

The drying of your tears

Today

We escape

We escape.

Yoh woke Ren up with a kiss. Ren opened his eyes wide and smiled blissfully. He had been waiting for Yoh to come.

Pack, and get dressed

Before your father hears us…

Before all hell breaks loose.

Ren was shaking. It wasn't only because of the cold. He was afraid. There was something wrong. It wasn't like his father to let someone pass this far into the Tao residence unscathed. His father had also become stronger than the last time he had locked Ren up. Much stronger.

Yoh turned to him and grinned reassuringly. Ren smiled back. Yoh would always try to calm his fears.

Breathe

Keep breathing

Don't lose your nerve

Breathe

Keep breathing

I can't do this alone…

Yoh took his hand.There was definitely something wrong. Both of the young shamans could feel it.

Sing us a song A song to keep us warm… There's Such a chill… Such a chill…
A monstrous shadow appeared in front of them. Was it who they thought it was?

Yes.

A smug, self-satisfied laugh came from the shadow. It was Ren's father. En.

You can laugh

A spineless laugh

We hope your rules

And wisdom

Choke you

They prepared their oversouls. The great bulk that was En shot towards them and crushed them both against the cold stone wall with one giant hand. As they screamed and writhed and clung to each other they knew that this was the end.

They wrenched themselves away from their bodies.

Now we are one

In everlasting peace

En knew that Ren was too separate from him to be dragged back. But he tried nevertheless. He couldn't stand the notion that his own son was so unlike him. He needed for him to suffer as he had suffered. It made it more bearable.

Ren had refused. He had found happiness. That was why he had to kill them both.

We hope

That you choke

That you choke

We hope

That you choke

That you choke

We hope

That you choke

That you choke…
