Ren muse: Took you a while to update.

Kenko: I'm SORRY!! Writer's block. I had buy a couple of Shaman King mangas to gets some inspiration.

Ren muse: And what inspiration did you get?

Kenko: Not sure, but I was inspired by your ass and Hao's sexy hair.

Hao:

Ren muse: --'''

Yoh: You weren't inspired my meeeeeeeeeee?

Kenko: Yes, kind of, I loved youuuuuuu!! Not your body. You're just too sweeett

Yoh: O.o Is that a good thing?

Kenko: A very good thing. That's why you're the star of Shaman King!

Hao: NOOOO!! I'm the star.

Kenko: Sorry sweetheart, you just the 'evil villian'.

Hao: Why can't the evil villain ever get to be the star?

Kenko: Because humanity prefers good over evil and often has a defined sense of what's good and what's evil which causes them to always make the stereotypical good win over the stereotypical evil.

Yoh: Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Ren: meh, sounds like my argument with my dad.

Kenko: Whatever...Enjoy the story!! Thank you reviewers, whoever you are!! TT My internet man!!! Me need internet!!!

Grounded Thoughts

Stupid sun is shinning in my eyes...what time is it...? It's not even 7 yet. I still have...an hour or so to sleep. Humn...what's this warm thing next to me? Oh, it's Ren. Ren? I blinked my eyes a couple of times to see if I'm dreaming. Oh yeah, last night. I happily snuggle closer my Ren. He's pretty cuddlable.

Ren is sleeping like a baby angel. Curled up next to me, warm and toasty. I don't wanna get up. Well guess I'm not getting up. Talk about dejavu, I remember Hao thinking the same thing 500 years ago. It's really weird, having memories of another person, especially about the same people. Sometimes I even have the same thoughts about Ren, Anna, Horo Horo, and Ryu. I remember the first thing I thought about when I met Ren was 'how the hell does his hair stay up in a unispike?'

I still remember Ren's shocked face when he saw Hao by the Emperor's side. Hao, being the gracious person that he was, took Ren on a tour around the palace for the afternoon. Hao did not want to be outdone by Ren and after the whole "I like you Hao Asakura. You will be mine." Incident, Hao had full confidence that Ren returned his feelings, Hao shamelessly flirted, making Ren curse and blush every time. Hao showered Ren with gifts, occasional serenades, and surprise visits.

Ren did not respond well to his flirting. Hao had all sorts of things thrown at him. He was thrown out of Ren's house a couple of times. It took Hao a couple of months to realize that his usual tactics to woe a crush isn't working and he started to get serious. I still remember Hao's declaration of love to Ren...

Hao went back to the waterfall where Hao had met Ren. Ren was there meditating as usual. Hao waited until Ren was done. And spoke,

"Ren, I was serious about everything I said to you and about you."

Ren was surprised. He thought that Hao was just being annoying, but Ren saw the sincerity in Hao's eyes. Hao continued,

"The question is, were you serious when you said, 'I like you Asakura Hao. You will be mine.'"?

Ren thought about it and he looked down at his feet when he spoke, "I meant what I said, I didn't know if you meant what you said."

Hao laughed, "I guess both of us didn't know if we meant what we said." Ren looked back at the stars. "I guess the stars guided both of us together." Hao sat beside Ren and put his arms around Ren, "I really do think you're eyes are as beautiful as the stars." Ren blushed and huffed, "We'll, I think you hair is too girly!" I gasped and pretended to cry. "What do you mean?! A lot of other men have hair that long!!" Ren sighed "I mean that in that you're hair is really soft and shinny. I think you care about your hair as much as a female does!" Hao pouted, "I only brush it 100 times a day!" Ren rolled his eyes to heaven and snuggled closer to Hao. In a few moments, Ren fell asleep and so did Hao.

Hao woke up with the sunrise again. Ren was still asleep, warm and toasty like he is now, curled up next to Hao, only Hao compared Ren to a god instead of an angel. Hao took Hao into his arms and carried Ren back to his home. I think it was the happiest day of Hao's lives.

I think it went something like that. These memories come to me at night and I feel like I'm watching a movie of Hao's life. I really don't know how Hao is taking things right now. He didn't get to create his world for shamans. In a sense, he lost Ren, one of the driving forces for his actions. I hope that he'll come to realize that I do want to help him and that I'm not a force that was made to stop him from reaching his joy, but a force to help him realize his joy.

Ren, is moving around in the futon. Looks like he's waking up. He cracks open one eye and his golden eye peers are me.

"You're up early." He said with a yawn.

"Well, I couldn't stop thinking about you." I said with a smile. Ren blushed and hurried off, mumbling something about making breakfast for me.

He really hasn't changed at all.

Ren has come back to me

To us.
