So hope you like the previous chapter… I didn't know Master Hao could sing.
"It is just one of the thousands things I can do… don't be doubtful of my skills fair Micelle."
Hai, hai… so here's the 10th and final chapter
"But before that I want to tell that Micelle doesn't own Shaman King… Ren Tao, Pirika and Horokeu Usui, Jun Tao and ME! And she's also sorry for the typographical errors in this fic she's just human… and that her main problem… she is JUST a pathetic human!"
Can I speak now?
"By all means."
Here's the 10th chapter… go back to Ren's room already!
Chapter 10
The big day finally arrived and Pirika was already leaving. Ren didn't talk to her all night. After dinner he was nowhere to be found and so the beautiful Ainu didn't have the chance to say goodbye to him.
"I'll escort you to the airport." Jun insisted as Horohoro pulled Pirika gently to go inside the limousine.
"Is your brother not coming?" Pirika asked, hoping until the last minute.
"I think not. We've searched for him everywhere but no trace of him was found. Even the spirits in our mansion cannot find him."
"Oh, Ren just can't take the fact that I'm leaving… that's how he loves me!" Horo said grinning.
"Stop that oniichan. Let's go were just wasting our time here." Pirika scolded, every minute that she spent here makes it harder for her to go.
"Oh, okay." Horo agreed looking a little bit disappointed.
The three finally entered the limousine as Pai Long started the engine.
Pirika listened to the hum of the engine. She was looking outside the window hoping to see even a hint of his shadow. However there was no Ren in sight.
After a few seconds they left.

Ren was looking at them from afar, following the dark limousine with his eyes.
He clenched his first in anger… is he that much of a coward that he can't even say goodbye?
"Piri…" he muttered.
"That's a cute nickname. I like it… remind me to use it when Pirika and I cross our paths." Hao said, smirking at the Tao.
"Hao!" Ren glared at the onmyouji.
"What?" He then stood up from the stool he was sitting on and walked towards Ren, "oh I know… you're going to ask that cliché query of what is my reason of coming here? Then I'm going to answer you once and for all to ease your pathetic mind." Hao answered giving off a semi-evil grin.
Ren was prepared for anything, if Hao will attack him he'll fight back… especially now that he's not in a good mood.
Hao noticed him pulling out his spear almost getting ready for an oversoul. Hao smiled some more.
"I came here just to say that you still have time to change your mind. Like I said before, you're the only person I know that can make Pirika smile in a very attractive kind of way… as much as it pleases me I still can't make that smile curve in her lips. You're the only one she needs." Hao said being serious and not scary for the first time in his life… and to think that he is reincarnated many times already.
"I know."
"Then what are you waiting for? She's just in the airport… time is treacherous you can never get it back. Don't miss this chance kiddo or else… I'll take her away from you. I already lost Anna I won't make that mistake again. As you can see I'm not like you… I learn from my mistakes."
"Hao! You wouldn't. Pirika is mine! Only mine! Try to touch her and even the Great Spirits can never restore you!" Ren shouted.
He started to look around. Thinking fast he suddenly jumped out of his window.
Hao followed him and stopped in the window following the running Tao with his eyes. Again he smiled.

Pirika, Tamao and Horo were already settled in the plane… it was painful for her to say goodbye to Jun especially to Ren. If he were there she would certainly not be able to contain her sadness anymore.
Horohoro was looking at the food magazine savoring the pictures and already writing the names of the dishes he wanted Tamao to cook.
Pirika on the other hand was looking outside taking a final glance of China. This may just be her last look.
Slowly the huge craft lifted from the ground. A few minutes later it was already steadily flying above the clouds.
"Goodbye… China, Jun… goodbye Ren-kun." She whispered to herself.
Pirika was being good in hiding the fact that she was sad. She did this to prevent his brother from getting worried. He was happy with Tamao ruining this moment is like a crime.
As the airplane took off Pirika decided to take a nap to forget all about Ren.
That was when the plane stopped.
"What the-!" Horo gasped as the momentum made him drop his magazine.
Pirika woke up even before she could begin sleeping.
"What's the matter?" Tamao asked the steward.
"I'll check it out." Horo said as he unfastened his seatbelt.
"Horo-kun." Tamao followed.
"Wait!" Pirika said as she too released herself from the seatbelt's embraced.
The siblings and the prophetess then opened the plane's door and using their Shamanic powers they climbed out to see what the problem is. Followed by his sister, Horohoro climbed the airplane's body determined to see something exciting. Tamao on the other hand was somehow scared it was only because of Horo that she somehow manages to be brave. She must stop him from doing something crazy.
When the three finally reached the top they looked forward just to see a huge ancient Chinese warrior.
"Bason?" Horohoro said in a gasp.
Now when there's Bason you'll expect that in his shoulders stood a pointed hair Chinese boy.
He looked really serious.
Pirika finally had her chance to know what the commotion was about. Her heart almost skipped a bit once her brain told her that it was Bason she was seeing
"Ren…" Pirika uttered as she froze there.
"Why are you here?" Horo asked at once.
"I forgot something! Besides it's not you I want to talk to. So get out of the way Boroboro!"
"It's Horohoro! Who do you want to talk to?"
Ren then jumped from Bason. The huge spirit vanished turning into its spirit ball mode.
The Chinese Shaman walked towards them. Pirika was watching his every step.
Ren was finally near enough Horohoro. The Ainu boy saw how serious Ren was looking. Although he had seen him serious many times before in the Shaman Fight this time it was different.
Ren finally came face-to-face with the man he envied very much. He was the only man that he could be the biggest hindrance for Pirika to truly accept him as her guardian.
"Your sister." Ren finally answered.
"What? Why?" Horohoro was about to explode when Tamao stopped him.
"Go on Ren Tao-san."
"But Tamao." Horohoro whines.
"Let's just go over there, Horo-kun." Tamao invited as she dragged Horohoro in a distance.

"So what is it that you forgot? I didn't borrow anything from you?" Pirika said as she tried to avoid his gaze.
It was somehow difficult for her not to look at him. She just loves looking at his eyes.
"No. You took something from me."
"What?" Pirika said in surprise, finally lifting her gaze to meet his eyes.
'Are you accusing me now? What did I take from you?' Pirika worried.
Ren was having a hard time to answer her at once. It was difficult for this was the first time that he would finally accept the fact that this sickness (ehem love…) cannot be cured and cannot be ignored. There could only be one answer to his problem.
And he is looking at her now.
"My heart… now you can never leave me. I'll die without you."
"What!" Pirika's eyes widened with surprise.
Her heart started to race even faster that it does before. She must be dreaming for only in her dreams could this scene happen. If it was not a dream then she must be crazy. For only a fool would believe that fantasy could come true.
But she was not and now she does not know what to say. She was shaking. She knows that she was not cold nor was she afraid. Why is her body reacting this way?
Ren then slowly melt the inches away. He was getting closer to the girl. Slowly and hesitantly their lips started to meet. Pirika then drowned in that kiss and almost fainted; good thing Ren's powerful hands were there to support her.
"Ren is kissing my sister!" Horo shouted in a rage.
"Let them be… they're old enough for that."
"Tamao." He winced.
"Horo-kun." She scolded.
With that Horohoro finally got quiet.
The pressure of Ren's lips increased, expressing so much passion that used to burn inside his heart. Pirika on the other hand, answered to his kiss, letting out all of her feelings that she once tried to ignore… the admiration, the longing and all the love. Though it was their first, Cupid himself just guided them on how to do it… it was magical.
Their lips finally parted, and the two caught their breath again.
"Ren, I love you." Pirika suddenly said out of the blue.
Ren looked directly at her eyes seeing that every word she said was the truth, buried in her heart for a long, long time.
He touched her face again caressing it tenderly as his eyes were still staring at her ocean blue orbs.
"And I you."
With that Ren suddenly knelt in front of the girl.
"Pirika Usui… in front of your oniichan, and all of China… will you marry me?" Ren finally asked.
It was all so fast and yet she knew it was the right time. She wouldn't want to lose this chance. This might not happen again.
"WHAT! You didn't even court my sister! Why you filthy Tao! Pirika listen to me… say no! Remember that blood is thicker than water!"
Ren then grimaced. He looked homicidal.
"But oniichan… love is 10 times thicker than blood."
Horohoro's mouth opened so wide that a swarm of flies could easily enter as Tamao just smiled and gave Pirika two thumbs up.
"Is that what you really want?" Horo finally asked after reality finally sunk in.
"Um… yeah. It is oniichan."
"Then tell the pilot of this flying tin can to turn back … I have to attend my sister's wedding." Horo shouted as Tama hugged him sweetly.
"Thanks Horohoro… I mean oniichan." Ren teasingly said, as Ren finally stood up.
"Don't push it."
"Okay." He said then turned to Pirika again, "how about your answer? I'm still waiting for it you know." He said grumpily, making Pirika smile again.
"Of course I'll marry you. It's one decision that I'll never regret." Pirika said, as she hugged the Tao tightly.
"Good because I'll never accept no for an answer." Ren added.
With that they all went inside the plane, which did what Horohoro instructed.
&&
A week later, all of Ren and Horo's friends were called to China to witness a double wedding, Horohoro with Tamao and Ren with Pirika.
I'm In Love, I'm in Love,
I'm in Love, I'm in Love,
I'm in Love, I'm in Love,
Accidentally (X 2)
Come on, come on
Spin a little tighter
Come on, come on
And the world's a little brighter
Come on, come on
Just get yourself inside her
Love ...I'm in love
--End--
