a/n: Pirka breaking Ren's ribs is kind of a reference to Tsunade from Naruto, which (like Shaman King) I don't own. Just wanted to point that out. :) Thanks so much to all who reviewed; I'm so glad you like my story:D Reviews rock! This chapter's not one of my favorites, but I hope you enjoy it anyway. :)
Chapter Three: The Miniskirt
Dear Journal,
My plan didn't work. Instead, I got Ren angry with me. But someday I will get my revenge on him!
Sincerely, Lyserg Diethel
Dear Journal,
So far, I'm liking the hospital. They have lots of milk, and I get to watch TV. Although I do miss training, I am quite enamored by Spongebob Squarepants.

Dear Journal,
Ye gads, Horohoro is getting all big-brotherly on me! If he wants me to keep making him Cheerios in Kororo's absence, he'd better behave!
I told him how Ren kissed me, and now he says he's going to kill him "to protect my maidenly honor". It's none of his business!
And besides… I did a pretty good job of protecting my "maidenly honor" by myself!
Oh, I heard Ren's in the hospital.
Tee hee…
- from the sweet Pirka
Dear Journal
Agh, that Ren! He better keep his sleazy hands off Pirka!
from Horohoro
Dear Journal,
Yesterday, Ren landed himself in the hospital. I hear Pirka broke three of his ribs.
Hee hee.
But with Ren gone I have less people to irritate.
Hm… maybe I should mess with Tamao a little bit…

Dear Journal,
Horohoro is mad at Ren. It's not fun; I hate it when my friends fight. It has something to do with what Horohoro calls, "Pirka's maidenly honor". Hm. I'll have to go visit Ren in the hospital (I heard that Pirka put him there).
Anna's new hair color is nice. It looked fine before, though. I wonder if it's a new trend…? Tamao has the same color.
Yoh
Dear Journal,
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!
Oh. My. Gawd.
Yoh said my hair looked cute!
I'm taking everyone out to dinner tonight! On me! No training!
Love, Asakura Anna
P.S. I hear Ren's in the hospital. Serves him right, asking for his blasted milk all the time!
Dear Journal,
Master Hao came to talk with me while I was vacuuming today.
He said that to make boys like you, you should dress like an American pop idol, like Britney Spears.
Well, I know I don't have a chance with Master Yoh, but…
Master Hao took me shopping and we picked out a really short skirt. I'm embarrassed to wear it, but if Master Yoh likes it I will do so. Master Hao urged me to get the halter top, too, but I couldn't possibly go out into public in such clothing!
-Love, Tamao
Dear Journal,
Hee hee, Tamao is such a sweet girl! So gullible.
At the very least (with this plan) I can cause a little chaos, at best, I can steal Anna from Yoh!
I hope Ren comes home soon. Things are less entertaining around here without that little squirt.

Dear Journal,
Today Yoh came to see me. I was angry because he was interrupting this really good episode of my new favorite soap (hey! When you're stuck in a hospital bed all day, there's nothing better to do!).
Anyway, Crystal was kidnapped and Eric, her scorned lover, was trying to track her down while her fiancé, Jake, was seduced by Mina… who actually is trying to kill him!).
Anyway.
Yoh was very concerned by how I hurt myself, but I told him I tripped. How can I tell my rival/ally that some girl beat me up?
Anyway, today I made Bason fetch Penelope.
Yay! Although I made Bason promise not to talk.
-Tao Ren
Dear Journal,
Ren seemed to be okay. He switched the TV off really quickly when I came in, though. I wonder why…?
He denied that he was beaten up by Pirka, but I kind of expected that.
Anna's going to take us out to dinner tonight, and I don't have to do any training?
Did she get brainwashed or something? Are aliens involved? What's up with her?
Tamao was wearing this skirt today. It was cute, but it was really short and not typical Tamao attire.
-Yoh
Dear Journal,
I wore the skirt Master Hao helped me to pick out today, and I can tell Master Yoh liked it!
Lady Anna made me do two hours of the electric chair, though… I think Ponchi and Konchi hinted about it to her…. I hate them…
Anyway, it was really scary: I was dusting, and I saw Ryu. I was completely mortified, because he said:
"Wow, Tamao, that skirt is really…. " he was stunned, but then he snapped back into reality: "WILL YOU MARRY ME?"
"EEEEK!" I said, and now I'm hiding under my bed.
I hope he doesn't find me!
- Love, Tamao
Dear Journal,
Today I got back from my job as a sushi chef. I just missed the boys and my shaman friends so much that I couldn't stay away.
Plus, I missed Jun's dress.
Anyway, I got home from America… and I saw Tamao!
She was wearing this really adorable, really short skirt.
So I asked her to marry me. She refused, but I know she's just playing hard to get, because my pompadour has grown even more irresistible since I last saw her!
Ryu, Pompadour King
