Kaleidoscope
by Icefire and J

Back for more?? well, you asked for it... btw, I don't, in any way, own Shaman King. But I do own a rather twisted imagination. -Icy
Sorry... She's mad... forgot to take her medication *pushes Icy into a closet* -J

"Mine." a voice broke through above the noise, gaining everyone's attention. Jun clambered in clumsily through the kitchen window, closely followed by Lee Pyron and his... many stitches.
Everyone instinctively looked at her eyes and found them to be the same colour as the one Yomaru had in his large eyes. Just that...
"Knock it out." Ren said in a low tone, knocking the back of Jun's head solidly, causing the coloured contact lenses to fall out. Lee Pyron quickly punched him back in retaliation.
Kino sighed. "Right. Then whose is this heap of infant? He couldn't have just fallen out of the sky!"
Yoh stared at his grandmother incredulously. "But you told me I was dropped in the wrong house from the sky!"
"I lied." she shot back quickly, sending a down look on the young shaman's face. He promptly buried his face in Anna's shoulder and wept rather loudly. He was rapidly rewarded with a swift punch to the face for sticking his nose in other's assets. o.O
(Icy-Please tell me you didn't write that.)
(J- I did. So what?)
(Icy-forget it... I think we need to change the rating of this fic soon.)
(J- I wasn't planning on writing any lemon scenes but if you want I can clear my schedule and make an appointment...)
(Icy-ON WITH THE FIC!!!)
"Forget it. This is going nowhere." Hao stated, somehow managing to stick the hairs back on his head. "I propose that the two lovebirds here can keep the baby till we find the supposed real parents."
The gathered bunch began taking wary glances at each other, unsure of to whom did Hao refer 'lovebirds' to.
"One question." Jun stated, picking up her fallen contacts. "Who are the 'we' going to find these parents?"
"Well, anyone who isn't taking care of the little tyke of course!" explained Hao, scratching the back of his head thoughtfully. "And they can come to my lunar base I like to call the 'DEATH STAR' and use a giant 'LASER' to find them." he added, all the while using Dr Evil signs (refer to 'Austin Powers: the spy who shagged me')
(Icy-I can't watch...)
(J-It's just begining to get good...)
(Icy-*rolls eyes* men...)
"I hate to break your meeting fellas but I think Anna and I can take care of the kid." Yoh offered. "Besides, I want to eat breakfast."
The great number of shamans mumbled in agreement, slowly filing out, in exception of the X-Laws who remained behind.
"Maiden-sama?" Lyserg asked questioningly.
"I just want to look at the child for myself." huffed the Holy Maiden. "Can I just look at another human without being followed around like I am going to drop dead any second?!"
All the X-Laws took a step back, mortified by their leader's sudden outburst. Satisfied, Maiden walked up to Anna, taking Yomaru from her arms. She then proceeded to give the child a through look over, turning him all angles. Upside-down, left, right. And finally gave him a good shake, taking note of the tiny tinkling sound, before handing him back to Anna.
"He's got a couple of screws loose, this one..." Maiden said to Anna, returning to the safety of her group. "I wish you both the best of luck. You'll most definately need it with a fiancee like that..."
Yoh glanced briefly up, then returned to the euphoria of his piping hot breakfast. Anna gave him a hard kick in the shins to let him know she was going back upstairs.

"Do you think we'll be able to find the parents?" Manta asked Kino as the aged old lady strolled back on her way to the Asakura Shrine. Kino smiled briefly.
"My young boy, don't you think I already know who the parents are?"
Manta stared at her.
"That is Tamao's child." she said, loud enough for Tamao to hear from behind, causing her to blush profusely, seeking refuge behind her ouiji board.
"Th-Then the father is..." Manta stuttered, unable to take in the new information acquired. He glanced at all the other shaman who had stopped dead in their tracks.
"Actually, that I don't really know." Kino admitted, tapping her stick thoughtfully against Yohmei's head.
"But the hair! It's-" Ren stated.
"Dyed." Tamao supplied, the crimson flush on her face turning to a dark purple as she cautiously eyed one paticular shaman in the group...
(Icy-Look what you've done!)
(J-Hey! A little suspense never killed anyone...)
(Icy-B-But Tamao is supposed to symbolise the innocence of the group!)
(J-well, not anymore.)
Horohoro glared irritably at the two squabbling authors and yelled loudly enough for them to hear. "Oi! Cut it out! I want to know who is the father, Pea-brains!"
The two authors immediately shut up.
"Maiden-sama!" Manta exclaimed. "Does that mean that Tamao is a powerful shaman?"
Maiden glanced at Tamao skeptically. "I'm starting to lose confidence in my predictions..."
Everyone facefaulted.
"But I do know one thing." Maiden added hopefully. "The father is a shaman as well. For without the combined ki of both of them, the child would not be able to see spirits."
"We know that already." Ryu said, patting his hair back into place. At that very second, there was a loud hiss and his hair started to deflate, ending up to look like a mess like in book 16 or 17 (I can't really recall)...
"Stop fooling around! This is serious business!" hollered Horohoro, who seemed to have gotten a reasonable side of thinking. Everyone stopped bickering to hear what Horohoro had to say, which wasn't very much after all.
(Icy-What was that for...)
(J-Geez... Watch and see...)
"I-I-" Horohoro began. It seemed so easy to say but the words simply would not come. It wasn't that he didn't care, but that he cared to much to say what his heart desperately wanted known.
"I-I am the father."
Ren stared at him, along with all the other shaman who had gathered on in the middle of the road. There was a slight smile playing on Tamao's lips as she heard those words. There had been a sinking feeling in her heart that he would not tell anyone for the world.
"I-I-"
Ren walked up to him and gave him a large slap on the face that sent him flying into Tamao. "You..."
Horohoro rubbed his face dejectedly, tears springing to his eyes.
"You're so dead..." Ren continued. "It is a federal offence you know! Sleeping around with minors... Che... I'd think you'd be wiser than that, Horohoro."
The ice shaman stood up bravely and punched Ren back.
(Icy-Where is this all going?)
(J-I have no idea.)
"Does this mean we're not going to my "DEATH STAR" lunar base?" asked Hao.

Meanwhile...
"Anna!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The itako groaned. What was it this time? Couldn't a girl get some peace and quiet around here? She muttered grumpily to herself as she made her way downstairs.
"Anna!" Yoh squeaked out, thrusting Yomaru at her. "He-He..."
"Wet himself again?" Anna guessed and judging by the lost look on her fiancee's face, she was correct. Again. "Well, change him then!"
Yoh gave her a blank look.
"You know... Diapers." Anna supplied. "White things that go around babies' butts."
"I'm not going to change him!" Yoh yelled to Anna as she started back up the stairs. "Kuso..."
"Can't he do anything by himself?!" she mumbled angrily, shutting the door to her room-
"Anna!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"WHAT?!" she hollered back, seething. She threw the door open and was about to stomp down the stairs when she almost tripped over Yomaru.
"Anna!" Yoh wheezed, rushing up the stairs.
"What is it?" she demanded hotly.
"Did you see that?"
"What?"
"Yomaru! He's-"
Yomaru waddled over to Anna rather unsteadily on his two tiny legs, arms outstretched, wanting the itako to pick him up. Anna stared at the wobbly infant as it slowly walked towards her, gurgling happily all the way.
"Isn't that so awefully sweet?" Yoh mumbled awestruck, looking at Anna as she lifted Yomaru up into her arms. "Kirei," he thought to himself. Anna looked at him.
"Yoh..." she began. "These are curtains. Not diapers."

Right... That's it for chapter two... Please R&R... I think chapter three will be up and running soon enough...-Icefire
Maybe Horohoro shouldn't be the father... He doesn't look the type... Really now, who would expect him to be a dad?-J
What's that supposed to mean...-Icefire
Eheheh...Erm... Nothing! Well, it might get more mushy come to think of it... It's already started to become soft...-J
Yeah. So now we change the rating?-Icefire
Don't really have a clue...-J
If you don't like it, I will gladly change it. Just ask! Please R&R!!!!!!!!
