"I can't believe our dear Ren is engaged," laughs Horo Horo.

"Ah! Isn't it great!" says Asakura Yoh.

All of Ren's friends from the Shaman fight stood in front of his house waiting for him to come. Their reason? To catch a glimpse of Ren's (poor) fiancée.

"Well that'll mean Ren can join you and Faust," says Lyserg Dycell.

"Why's that?"

"Because all of you have women in your lives," says Bokuto no Ryu grumpily.

"Don't be so grumpy, Ryu!" says Lyserg. "Or you'll look terrible in front of Ren."

"Look terrible before the rain!" cries Chocolove. Horo Horo beats him up.

"I can't wait for Ren to come back," says Horo Horo. "Someone needs to teach this idiot a lesson."

"Hey!" protested Chocolove. "People back in New York love this stuff."

"We'll we're in China! CHINA!"

"Cheap air!"

Horo Horo beats Chocolove up again.

"Look! It's the bus!" cries Lyserg. Everyone then stood excitedly as the bus stopped in front of the house.

Ren got out first. "What the hell are you doing here?"

"Err… well…" Yoh says looking for a proper explanation. "We just…"

Ren grins. "You wanted to see her, right?"

"YES!" the group cried except for Faust who was too busy with Eliza (bet you didn't think he was there, didn't you? LOL). He merely smiles at Ren then turns to Eliza.

"Hmph!" says Ren in his usual proud air. He turns into the bus and calls, "Don't worry, Meiling. They're harmless."

Meiling then steps out of the bus.

The group let their jaws drop. "Pretty…" drools Ryu.

"Whoa, Ren… what a catch!" cries Horo Horo.

"Nice to meet you, miss…" Yoh held out his hand.

"Meiling. Li Meiling." Meiling merely bows at Yoh. The group 'Oohed'.

Yoh then sees Siew Cheng. "Ah! You're a shaman?"

"Something like that," says Meiling. "This is Siew Cheng, a master in the Ofuda technique."

Ren introduced them. "This is Asakura Yoh, Horo Horo, Chocolove, Lyserg Dycell, Bokuto no Ryu, and the man with a nurse on his lap, his name is Faust and the nurse is Eliza."

Meiling gave her best smile. "Pleased to meet you all!"

"Wa…" went the group, completely charmed by Meiling.

Ryu began to shiver. And then finally… "Ren!"

"What?" replied Ren, narrowing his eyes.

Ryu walks up to Meiling, his arms outstretched. "Please let me have Miss Meiling…"

"WHAT???!!!!" the group cries.

Meiling felt sick. "Don't you dare touch me you filthy looking Elvis."

Ryu's Elvis hairstyle droops. He gets closer to Meiling. "But…"

"I said don't touch me!" Meiling, using her martial arts, kicked Ryu high up in the air. "Ren, I don't ever want him near me again! He gives me the creeps!"

The group went dot-eyed. "Sugoi…" goes Lyserg.

"REN!" cries Tao Jun as she runs towards him.

"Nee-chan…" said Ren, uncertain how to react. But Jun grabbed her younger brother and gave a tight squeeze.

"I missed you so much! You never call or write to let me know about your meeting with…" Jun then looks at Meiling. "KAWAII!!" She also gives Meiling a tight squeeze. "You look so pretty! I knew my brother had some sense in him!"

Meiling instantly liked Jun. "Well, I helped him realize that!"

"My brother can be so senseless. I'm glad he chose someone with some sense!"

Ren slaps his hand on his face. "What have I done?"

Meiling giggles. "Don't worry, Ren! I still love you!" She throws her arms around Ren's neck and gives him a kiss on the cheek. Ren blushes furiously. The group laughs at him.

"Aren't you two just adorable?" cries Jun. "Wait till Okaa-sama sees this. She'll be so glad of this arrangement! Come on in!" Jun grabs Meiling and they both walk slowly into the home. "You've got much to see and learn here in the Tao family! And what's this… you have your own spirit! That's great! Doesn't she look powerful? Ojii-sama will definitely think highly of you for getting such a powerful spirit! Oh yes, Ren! Otou-sama is waiting to see you! And then you just have to see Lee Pyron. He's my main spirit…"

Jun continues talking to Meiling all the way. For some reason it made Ren glad that she could accept Meiling to easily. "Meiling is one of a kind, isn't she?" says Yoh.

"Hmph! Why do you think we're engaged?"

Yoh gives a huge grin. "E-heh-heh!"

"Watch out! Ryu's gonna land!" cries Horo Horo. He, Lyserg and Chocolove runs for cover.

Ryu landed with a bang, face flat. With whatever strength he had left, he unstuck his head from the ground and says, "What a woman…" and then passes out.

"Sugoi…" went the three. Yoh went dot-eyed while Ren grins at the spectacle.
