Discliamer: I don't own shaman king so please... I'm tired of this message...

anyway, thanks if you have the plan to review! but please... once you read, review... sorrry about the typo from the previous chap... I had accidentally added Ran from those who visited Ren in the hospital but nah! it was just one word and it wasn't that noticeable anyway...

(note: The chinese dialogue below are not mandarin but the fujian dialect, I just find mandarin too elegant and formal so I just used fujian-hua... and if they are speaking back to english, it means they are back to speaking japanese again...)

(subtitle notes: In mandarin Ren's name is Lian but I used fujian so it became Leng...)

Differences

Chapter 6: The thing they never knew...

After 3 days, Ren and Pirika were back to school. Horohoro was also back in Hokkaidou and so are Yoh and Anna in Aomori and the others. It was recess time, Pirika was walking to the corridor heading to the stairs to rooftop.

She could feel the stares of the the rich guys and gals behind her, she could also hear their hushes, she knew they had been backstabbing her again... She just ignored them. She knew if she will fight against them, she'll just be no match...

"Hey, social-climber bitch!" She met a gay with Natsumi (the extra girl I mentioned the previous chap), with the other girls. "What the hell's going with you and our Ren? Answer us!" He raised Pirika's collar.

"Let go of me!" Pirika yelled. "I don't know what the hell are you talking about!"

"Denying huh? So, why are you two absent for 3 days at the same time?" 'She' (I mean 'He') asked eyebrows raised.

"It's non of you're business, pathetic faggot!" Pirika yelled just to find herself being choked to death...

"What-did-you-say! TRY TO REPEAT IT!"

"I... ha... I said... PATHETIC...ha... FAGGOT!" She said breathlessly... she didn't care about her previous injuries anymore, all she cared about is her dignity... she would'nt let anyone bring her down even to death...

"Let go of her, faggot..." Suddenly, the heart throb Tao Ren came down the stairs from the rooftop.

"Oh, I'm sorry... (let go of Pirika, runs to Ren and holds on to his arms...) hi... umm... I'm just teaching her a lesson... she's trying to be hooked with you!"

Ren glared at him... "Stop fucking with us, or you'll die shitting..."

"Huh? But..."

"I SAID STOP FUCKING WITH ME, FAGGOT!" He yelled pointing his kwan dao straight to the gay's neck.

The gay just nodded trembling and ran away, with the other girls trailing behind.

"Listen, fucked-up humans!" Ren yelled to get everyone's attention. He drew Pirika close to him and put his arms around her shoulders. Now all eyes on them.

"ANYONE, who tries to touch even a single strand of this 'GEEK'S hair, as you always call her, I will kill without thinking twice, WHOEVER he or she will be as well as the one whom I'll hear call her 'geek'..."

Everyone went quiet and listened carefully to him.

"Mark my words! If you'll dare to fuck with us again, I swear, there's nothing even a speck of you will be left..."

Pirika nudged Ren, gesturing him to stop the scandal he's doing... he just turned to her and shook his head

"Another thing, those bitches and fags who still dreams of fucking with me, DON'T DARE TO GO FARTHER THAN AN INCH CLOSER TO ME OR YOU'LL DIE AS WELL... Let's go now, Pirika..." They went away...

(on the school's rooftop)

"Hmm... Ren... he still never changed... as usual he's the grumpy bastard I've ever known... let's see if he can still be with her, hmhmhm..." The former known pumpkin girl, now the infamous german model Macchi looked down on all what's happening below.

(11:00 am, inside Ren's car)

"Where are we going?" Pirika asked.

"Stop asking and just shut up..." He said while driving.

"B- but, it's still 11 am... it's not dismissal yet! We are cutting classes and we all know that..."

"Cut it, will ya! I asked permission to the admin so this is not cutting classes..."

Pirika wnet silent for a while... she just really feel too horrified to be with him although she also liked to be with him... he is just too scandalous, and yet dangerous... she feel like slapping him while he was doing that stupid scandal earlier... but she can't, she knew that it was just also for her own good... will she thank him for that?

"About... recently... did you really mean it?"

"I never say things I would never do..."

"Yeah... but... are you sure about it? I mean, you're not scared of the consequences?

"SCARED? hmph...That's the most hilarious thing I've ever heard..."

"Nope... I mean, telling everyone that we are already... ya'know... it may, destroy your reputation... I'm poor, you're rich... a rich girl also should be paired for you... like... Matilda... not a good-for-nothing girl like me..."

"To hell with that bitch... I don't care about my reputation... I'm willing to throw my riches and my fucking name just to be with you even in hell..."

Is that how he really loved her, that he is willing to throw anything just for her? She's the first girl he loved in his entire life...

They went to an expensive botique...

"G- Gucci? W- we'll going to buy clothes in this expensive botique? You're kidding!" She exclaimed. He just rolled his eyes and pulled her arms and went inside the shoppe.

"Irasshaimase, Tao-san... what can we do for you?"

"I want you to get the best clothes, perfume, accessories and shoes for her..."

"For - me? Hey! Why did they know you here?"

"Jun always shops here..."

(after a couple of minutes)

Pirika came out the dressing room wearing a plain black spaghetti strap dress, with high heeled sandals. He just smiled.

(back inside the car)

"Thanks for everything..." Pirika kissed Ren on the cheeks.

"Would you mind!... I'm driving! Do you want us to die!"

"I'm just expressing my gratitude, there's nothing wrong with it..." She pouted.

"But just at the right time and the right place, ok?" He smiled at her and she smiled back at him.

They stopped at an expensive salon.

"Another stop in an expensive place... are you showing off or what?" Pirika asked.

"Just get inside..." Ren pushed her in.

"Irasshaimase... Tao-san..."

"I want you to do a full make-over on her..."

(an hour later)

Pirika smiled at him sweetly with her new hairstyle, coiled at the back with some curly locks behind the ears plus the plain powdered face and rosy cheeks... and her pinkish lips... he just smiled back.

After the salon, they went back to the Tao Ke...

"Is the jetplane ready?" Ren asked.

"Yes, young master..."

"J- J- J- J- JETPLANE! WHAT DO YOU MEAN?" Pirika yelled, shocked.

"Just follow me..."

(after an hour, Inside the jetplane...)

"Wow! What a nice view!" Pirika looked down the window of the jetplane...

"Will you stop being such an ignorant and stay in your place, Usui..." Ren said.

"There's nothing worng with this! We're in a private plane, I can even go naked and wildif I want!"

"Ok... this is the last time you'll be an ignorant but once we come to our destination, start to actformally, understood?"

She just nodded and paused for a while...

"So where are we really going?"

"In our house in China..."

"CHINA? Why didn't you told me so I had prepared!"

"What do you think did we 'DO' recently? Isn't that preparation?"

"Well..."

"So stop being an idiot and act formally... I'll introduce you to my parents to have us engaged..."

After a couple of hourse, Finally they are inside the Tao mansion.

"Wow... this place is so..." Pirika was about to exclaim when Ren nudged her. "I said 'ACT FORMALLY!" He whispered.

They sat down on the couch and waited for Tao En and Tao Ran.

After a couple of minutes of waiting, finally the Tao couple came.

"Ho am mi (good evening)..." Ren bowed and greeted as well as Pirika.

"Ho am mi... che le (sit down)..." Ran said. All of them sat down. "Ui sia-mih di lai lo? (what brought you here?)"

"Gua lai lo ui ka din kong, gua beh kan-chiu beh lo... (Mom, Dad, I'm here to announce that I want an engagement...)"

Ran and En just glared at Ren and Pirika for a few seconds... Though Pirika doesn't understand their dialogue that much, she still can feel how Ren's parents feel for her and the situation...

"Beh kan-chiu beh (you want an engagement)? Di siao-siao la... (you're nuts...)" En just snorted at Ren's statement.

"Ti sia-nga? (to whom) Tui i? (To her?)" Ran asked fanning herself, feeling a bit upset.

"Si... (yes) I si Usui Pirika, Horohoro e sio-be... (She is Usui Pirika, Horohoro's younger sister...)"

Ran stared at her from head to toe being quite observative on her looks and the way she dresses...

"Usui-sio-chia, chioh meng che, di e pe-bu sia-nga? (miss Usui, may I ask, who are your parents?)"

"Chia gun kong dit-pun-gi...(can we please speak japanese?) I boe ben pek... (she can't understand...) I ya bo pe-bu, I pe-bu si lo... (she doesn't have parents...)"

"Ch... ya phai la... (too bad...) Leng, dikau i kong banlam-ue bo? (Ren, have you taught her to speak chinese?)"

"Bo... (haven't yet)"

"(sighs) Ho... (fine then) So Ms. Usui, I'm sorry to mention about your parents... anyway, what's your eductaional background?" Ran asked very meticulously... one of hereyebrows raised.

"I... I studied at Hokkaidou shougaku when I was still in Elem., in middle school I studied in Hokkaidou chuugaku and now in Tokyo kougaku..." She said trembling... they were just too strict

"Not bad... how about your family's source of income?"

"My elder brother Horohoro had a part time job in Hokkaidou to continue our studies, we also had a field of Fugi leaves in Hokkaidou..."

"Ya song-hiong la... (how poor...) Anyway, Ren and Ms. Usui, I want to introduce someone to all of you... "Lai lo! (come out!)" Ran yelled looking upstairs...

All of the sudden from the long elegant stairs came down the most infamous german model, Matisse Matilda... smiling in her long black chinese kimono...

"W- WHAT THE HELL!" Ren yelled in shock.

"Ya chho lo la, Leng (...too rude of you Ren...) Why didn't you attend my birthday party just this past few days? I was just too disappointed to see my 'FIANCE' not around..." Matilda said as she was heading to where they was...

"F - FIANCE! Are you trying to gross me out, or you're just trying to make me laugh? I appreciate your effort but, thanks... it's not that funny, it justs FUCKS me to hell..." Ren retorted sarcastically... but Macchi just smiled at his comment and sat down beside Ran...

"Leng! Di kong ho se! (Ren, watch your mouth!)" En yelled and glared at him...

"Mama, chit-geh sia-mih ia? (Mom, what's this mess?) What is that BITCH doing here?" Ren asked his mom without watching his language... he doesn't care anymore...

"We have arranged this already a few months ago, she will be your fiancee whether you like it or not, she had a nicer family and educational background and stronger shamanic abilities, unlike the others over there... (glances at Pirika)"

Suddenly Pirika stood up... "I may have poorer backgrounds and just pathetically sees spirits and can't do anything about them but WHO THE HELL CARES? I love Ren, and that's the only biggest thing I can give him, My love for him!" Pirika can't stand their insults to her personality... she just finally blurted out...

"Ya bo le-so la... (how impolite...) Leng, how come you chose a lady without etiquettes?" Macchi just sat down calmly and just too sophisticated.

"Call me impolite, huh? Do you think I'm that idiot who don't understand chinese? Look at yourself! You're the one who doesn't have etiquettes to insult your fellow human's personality, it's YOUR attitude that stinks, Ms. Matisse! And please don't try to be a chinese wannabe! Quit you're chinese, it sounds too lame!"

"At least I have the name! I am now the infamous model Matisse Matilda from being a servant of that bastard Hao before and you, you're still nothing but an idiot's sister and nothing more! You can't be equal to my riches which means you're not worthy as Leng's wife, NEVER shall I say, stick that to your thick head!"

Those words finally reached Pirika's anger to the limit, tears bursted from her azure eyes as she ran out of the big hall of the Tao mansion.

"Pirika!" Ren almost ran to her and he glared back to them...

"My hatred for you, my parents, had just gone too far..."


well... that was just too annoying... that macchi-bitch... a story would be just too boring without antagonists so... thanks Macchi
