Title: NO.1- BoA
Disclaimer: I don't own Shaman King
Summary: Yoh finds out how dangerous spirit possession can be. Especially if that spirit is the spirit of a passionate dancer, and he's on the middle of the dance floor, surrounded by everyone. And a VERY terrifying itako in his arms.
Warning: This author is too evil to allow the ground to swallow him whole.

Story:
Yoh gulped as he stared nervously across the hall. Everyone was gathered in a large circle, waiting for the shaman king to take his queen for the first dance. And all Yoh wanted was to have another go with Hao instead. Or another one of Anna's training. The electric chair sounded SO good then!
"Don't worry my friend, I am a professional!"
That was what Yoh was worried about.
FLASHBACK
"What am I going to do…" Yoh whined pitifully, burying his hands in his arms on his bed, while his best friend sat beside him, looking on in sympathy.
"It's too bad you don't know how to dance, if you embarrass Anna, she would have your head for dinner later on." Manta thought out loud, swinging his legs on the edge of bed.
Yoh winced.
"Not to mention you'll make a complete fool out of yourself in front of all those people."
Yoh groaned in reply.
"And Anna would kill you for that as well. She wouldn't want everyone to think her fiancé and the future shaman king was a complete retard when-"
"You're not…exactly helping me…did you know that?" Yoh asked softly, looking up at Manta in despair.
Manta grinned sheepishly, "Sorry."
"I wish they'd warned us at least before hand. Then you could have learned a bit…who knows, you could have been dancing like a professional!" Amidamaru sighed, floating off to the balcony.
Yoh and Manta started, blinking before looking at each other.
There was a moment of silence before Yoh narrowed his eyes at the blond midget.
"No."
"It's the only way Yoh." Manta reasoned calmly.
"I am not going to do it."
"Anna will kill you."
"Ren and Horo Horo not to mention the entire shaman world will never let me hear the end of it!" Yoh exclaimed, standing up.
Manta smiled wryly, "Its either that or Anna's nagging for the rest of your life."
…
That seemed to settle the situation.
END FLASHBACK
Yoh sighed, feeling his eye twitching slightly as the spirit in him fidgeted in excitement. He almost wished Hao would burst into the hall and set him on fire.
A sudden hush fell across the hall, making Yoh for a split second believe Hao had came back.
Unfortunately for him, that wasn't the case. The spirit had made him move forward.
"Remember, nothing too drastic." Yoh warned, gritting his teeth as he made his way towards Anna. In the beginning, one look at her had made his legs turn into jelly. Now he was too stiff to move.
He felt the spirit smiling cheerily, increasing the dread in his chest.
"Don't worry young man. I'll give the performance that would take her breath away!"
Yoh's eyes widened, "WH-NO-!" He stammered helplessly before forcing himself to shut up. He couldn't afford having Anna realize he had possessed a spirit for this occasion, who knows what she'd do.
The music began, and Yoh couldn't help but groan internally. The spirit was getting more excited.
Anna blinked lazily as Yoh came to a stop before her, just as the beat began before taking her hand. The words resounded across the hall and he pulled her against him, taking a step back.
It's been so long
Since you were here with me
Since you left me
I could I set you free
Anna, to say the least, was dumbfounded. But quickly covered her surprise with a stern glare at Yoh. Yoh just grinned back, tightening his arm around her waist before guiding her to move in a circle.
It's just a game
Without, myself again
Finally, I'm ready to confess you see
They moved back and forth, her dress swishing with her before Yoh let go of her waist, twirling her quickly from her hand before pulling her against him again.
Cause I did some good, and I did some bad
And I know what we had was true
Rounding in a circle again, Yoh tightened his grip slightly around Anna's waist and gave a quick smooth twirl, making her feet lift off the ground, before landing her smoothly in the position they were before.
The chorus began, and Yoh almost broke into a sweat. The spirit was getting too excited.
You still my No.1
You're all I'm thinking of
The one I can't deny
I guess you know the sore built inside
I love this song
This all you said and done
You still my No.1
"Front step, back step, front step, side step, back step, twirl her and DIP!"
Yoh's eyes widened as the spirits thought ran through his head. He looked on helplessly as Anna stiffened slightly when Yoh dipped her down before pulling her up again. Wincing as he awaited the slap, he was surprised when Anna's hand merely tightened around his shoulder. He gave her a wounded look, which was responded by a death glare.
The spirit in him laughed in mirth as he controlled Yoh's body to move again. Twirling Anna before letting her hand go. Just as Anna stopped, Yoh was behind her again, placing her hand against her waist and making her lean against him. Unconsciously, Yoh hugged her, before turning her about and grabbing her hand again.
The things I said
I take em back 'chu know
It's not the end
Cause now I'm taking my stand
"I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry" Yoh cried mentally, watching Anna's blank expression as the two danced.
"Side step, front,
And I miss you
The spirit laughed in mirth. Oh if ONLY he could get rid if the stupid spirit. But then everyone would know he had once possessed…not that Ren and other's wouldn't have figured out already. Anna certainly did. He was sure of it.
"side, back,"
And I want you back, In my life
"left, front, twirl and dip in his arms."
(want you back in my life, I want you back in my life)
Once again Yoh's eyes widened in horror as after the steps, Anna fell against his left arm, wincing slightly as though awaiting her fall, before blinking blankly.
"Up, twirl, close, round, lift, land, distance and twirl to close."
Cause I did some good, and I did some bad,
And I know what we had was true.
And then the chorus just HAD to start again. Making Yoh repeat the steps he had done previously. This time however Anna was ready, sensing the same movement as before. And somehow Yoh felt less nervous than earlier.
You still my No.1
The one I'm thinking of
The one I can't deny
I guess you know the sore built inside
I love this song
For all you said and done
You still my No.1
Yoh pulled Anna against him again as the chorus ended, both breathing slightly hard. Unfortunately for the two, the song had yet to end, and the spirit was just warming up.
I remember the days, how we used to laugh,
How we used to dance to this song
The lights in the hall suddenly dimmed, making a spotlight land on the couple as Yoh lead Anna to a circle, stepping back and forth to the music. (notice the spirit isn't muttering to Yoh and itself anymore)
And after all this time, I have no regret
You still my No.1
Rounding again, they repeated the same process, this time facing the opposite direction until the music picked up again. Making the couple halt, staring each other.
Oh--(Doo, doo doo doo doo doo--)
Suddenly Yoh grinned at her, giving Anna an urge to smile back as he suddenly twirled her away from him, bringing her back just as quickly close to him, stepping back, then forth before a quick smooth step again that made Anna's feet lift off the floor, a gentle landing, pulling her close before stepping back, forward and then another dip against his arm before hugging her.
You still my No.1
You're all I'm thinking of
The one I can't deny
I guess you know the sore built inside
I love this song
For all you said and done
You still my No.1
Ren and Horo Horo had their mouths handing open as they watched Yoh and Anna dance before them. It was like they had practiced. A billion times before. But Anna wouldn't let anyone that close to her…maybe she wanted to make sure Yoh wouldn't embarrass her…? BUT THEY DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THEY WERE GOING TO DANCE!
Ryu had stars in his eyes as pink bubbled erupted around the couple in his vision, bathing the two in an ethereal light. Watching their reactions, Manta and Amidamaru could only smile secretly, switching their attention back to their friend.
You're all I'm thinking of
The one I can't deny
I guess you know the sore built inside
The crowed erupted into an applause as Yoh and Anna repeated the chorus step, again and again as the song came to an end. Unfortunately as the last chorus ended, the spirit decided to take control again. Neither Yoh and Anna realized the spirit had stopped guiding the shaman king.
"Twirl, lift."
Before Yoh knew it, he had grabbed Anna's waist, twirling her and lifting her in the air at the same time before guiding her down slowly. With a start, he realized their lips were only centimeters apart. Both eyes widened in horror before Yoh let off a mental sigh.
I love this song
For all you said and done
'No use worrying about this now', he thought grimly, before his lips landed on her's. At this the crowd (especially every female shaman…and Ryu) erupted into thunderous applause, almost drowning the end of the song.
You still my No.1
(You Still My No.1)
Manta and Amidamaru could only watch, their mouths hanging open as the spirit of the dancer popped out of Yoh easily. Turning to see the shaman still too lost in the kiss to notice.
-Fin-
Ng: so? How was it? Personally I liked imagining Yoh and Anna dancing like that. Ignore the lyrics and just let the music flow while envisioning them dancing. Or just reading this. Just a suggestion. But yes it was written in a sort of rush. If I felt like it, maybe I'd re-edit it. Who knows, I'm a really lazy person.
The song was by BoA "No. 1" that SoSNoel asked me to write a fic on. At first I was a bit clueless, then had this sudden inspiration. I hope you guys liked it as much as I did.
Anyways, please leave a review!!
