"Unsolvable Puzzle"
-Vx Tao Ren xV
Disclaimer: Shaman King obviously does not belong to me, despite what I tell myself (sad, isn't it?). It belongs to Takei Hiroyuki-Sama in all of his glory.. So please, don't sue me… I'm broke anyway…
Author's Notes: This is my first and completely one-shot fic. It is basically a Ren introspection on.. well.. Yoh (so the entire fanfiction and all of it's chapter's will be Ren's P.O.V.).. This is not any type of shounen-ai fic, so if it seems like it at times, I apologize.. it's not supposed to ^_^;;..

"Unsolvable Puzzle": Chapter 01
Dare?... Kisama wa... dare?
Who?... Who are you?
Are you truly that seemingly selfless shaman who believes that no shaman-- no, that practically no being on this planet can harbor a heart of the slightest bit of darkness within themselves...?
Or is there something more to what we all see?
Or is there something less... hiding beneath your indestructible shield of hope and light?...
...Asakura Yoh...
Who?
Who can be more difficult to decipher.. behind that smile of yours? This carefree, laid-back, lazy shaman without a worry in the world. Other shamans, face it-- nearly all shamans who have ever met you, view you as what the see: this.. carefree, laid-back, lazy shaman... without a worry in the world.
But... there's more to you, isn't there? We're just too blind to see it...
...Asakura Yoh...
Friendship... free-will... life... happiness... peace... hope...
These are the things you defend the most... you value the most. Whenever one of those elements are threatened or destroyed, you take off that mask on infinite happiness... that seems to be forever glued onto your face. You become determined, ready to fight, willing... hell-- you may even become angry.
Who?
Who else would be able to do that? Other than you...
Be willing to fight the evils... while knowing in your heart, that the evils... aren't really evils... just pure hearts with driving intentions and determinations that bring an evil aura to the eyes of some... most... or even all...
Hell.. you even think Hao has his reasons...
Who?
Who could have thought that you... Asakura Yoh... could have such a story.. such.. influencing power and ability hidden, behind that smile of yours... That same damn smile... that irritating trademark on your face.. reformed even the worst shamans, the most confused shamans, and even the shamans completely consumed by darkness and hatred at a level beyond saving... me..
Who?
Who else can have that power?.. That ability...
Except you...
...Asakura Yoh...
