Omorose: Hello and welcome to yet another poem written by my aibou . . .

(Yoh and the others walk in.)

Rio: Hey, where's Gijinka? She's usually the one who introduces her fics.

Omorose: Well, she's still upset that you guys went all evil and dark.

Yoh: . . . aheheh. (He scratches the back of his head.)

Morty: She definitely takes these kinds of things seriously, especially since there was something similar to this a while back. . .

Len: Don't tell me she's still upset over what happened in that one episode of Yu-Gi-Oh! That happened several weeks ago!

Trey: Well, it was pretty shocking . . .

Omorose: Ahem! Now, if we could just get on to the poem at hand . . . we need someone to do the disclaimer. Yoh, how about you do it?

Yoh: Ok! (Clears his throat) Gijinka Renamon does not own Shaman King, although she'd really like to.

Deep Thoughts

I sit alone

And I think,

Why?

Why did it have to come to this?

I don't want to murder my friends,

The ones who took me in,

The ones who cared about me,

Even if they have given in to the darkness

I know I may not have a choice

And I know my new family wants me to,

But if it ever comes down to that,

I don't think I could kill them,

Even if they give me no choice

I hope deep down,

That they will not be consumed by evil,

And their hearts, minds, and souls will remain clear and pure,

And not be corrupted, poisoned, or tainted

But. . .

If they are,

I may not have a choice . . .

Len . . . Rio . . . Chocolove . . . Trey . . . Yoh . . .

I'm so sorry . . .

For everything I must do. . .
