Disclaimer: I don't own Shaman King…
I'm very sorry for the typographical errors… please forgive me… please…
I really hate PirikaxHao pairings too so all RenxPirika fans don't worry… Daijobou Datte!
Hao and about that smiley issue is another thing… why does he always smiles? Because he loves to smile… that's I think the most logical reason for it…or maybe I just ran out of words to put to Hao again… sorry bout that…
Thank you for reading… please review.
Well let's start this chapter…
Chapter 6
It was still very early in the morning when Horohoro gave Pirika a talk. He, Hao and Yoh will leave and go back to the Ainu tribe to arrange their wedding… but even if it's a very important thing Pirika didn't want to go.
She was very much embarrassed about what happened that she can't face the elders of the tribe…
"Pirika… are you sure about this?" Horohoro asked.
"Of course… I have no other choice but to marry him. Though oniichan I'm so scared to face the elders." Pirika answered.
Horohoro noticed her fingers shaking.
"Okay, I won't force you anymore to come." Horohoro said as Pirika's face lightens up a bit, "However…"
"However?" Pirika asked.
"I really believe that marry a jerk like Hao is not a good idea."
"Oniichan!"
"Seriously. I mean me and Hao didn't really started off as buds… he was our greatest rival for crying out loud!" Horohoro explained.
"What are you saying, oniichan?" Pirika asked even more confused about the real meaning behind his statements.
Horohoro then breathe sharply, sometimes he just can't understand the mentality of his little sister.
"I'm saying that Ren is still better than a thousand Hao's." Horohoro said.
He does know how his sister adores his friend, and though the two can't say it verbally it was still obvious that they like each other besides Pirika never kept anything from him.
"Oniichan…" Pirika said, starting to cry.
Horohoro then went closer to her and hugged her comfortably as she cried once more.
"You can always say no… I know that the little life inside of you would disagree with me with that but I believe that he or she will also be of the same opinion with me when he or she learn about the real story behind it all." Horohoro whispered.
"My child's very lucky to have an uncle like you."
"Of course! That's a Usui and an Asakura in one! Now that's what I call unbeatable!"
Pirika smiled a little about that… thinking that her child would be a great Shaman is such an honor for her.

The day finally raced again and when the clock read 10:00 Horohoro, Tamao, Hao, Yoh and Anna all prepared themselves to go to Hokkaido.
"Please be careful, oniichan… Hao." Pirika said, almost regretting to say the last word.
Hao cupped her face slowly but she instantly pulled away.
"Just come back in one piece. My child still needs you." Pirika said.
"I know." Hao said with a smile.
Seeing him smile at her she remembered the promise she made, and so she tried to smile at him.
"Be careful Pirika!" Horohoro interrupted.
"I will oniichan. I love you… you too Tamao'nee-san." Pirika shouted cheerfully.
"We'll be careful Pirika." Tamao said softly.
"Don't burn the house down. If you're hungry you can always run to Ryu." Anna reminded.
Pirika smiled as she sweatdropped a bit.
"Oh wait… I forgot something." Hao suddenly said.
"What? The bus will leave in about an hour." Horohoro whined.
"Don't worry I'll catch up. You all go ahead." Hao said and without another word he started to run inside the house.

Hao didn't leave anything at all… in fact the only thing he came back for was Ren.
Ren was walking in the hallway when he found Hao leaning on the wall as if waiting for him.
"Pirika's back in her room now." Hao said making Ren notice him.
"I thought you'd leave for Hokkaido." Ren said looking annoyed.
"That's what you think?" Hao said standing straight and looking at him directly.
"What do you want?"
"Someone to take care of her while I'm away." Hao said.
"And you want me? Why?"
"You're the perfect guardian… I know you wouldn't hurt her… and I know that you would protect her even if you risk your life by doing that. But who would not adore her?" Hao explained.
Ren then frowned even more, thinking that Hao's obviously mocking him.
"She had the most luscious lips any man would ever taste. It's like heaven… her soft silky skin… so smooth… you just want them to touch all night." Hao said closing his eyes lightly and smiling with the vision in his head.
Ren wanted to walk away; he didn't want to hear anything about these things… especially now that he is trying to forget her.
"She's just driving me wild. I mean every time I hear her moan… it's like music to my ears. She doesn't want to scream my name up until now but I know that someday I'll hear her say those words…"
"Why are you saying these to me?"
"I just feel like saying that to you. You also know how I feel looking deeply in those serene azure eyes, smelling her mild scented hair… and just being dazzled by the magnificence an innocent spirit like her could reveal. The only thing that sets me apart is that… I already marked my territory."
"If I could only..."
"Only what Ren Tao? You can't do anything about it, can you? I'm going to be her husband while you just drool in envy as I explore every inch of her every night…"
"You're disgusting." Ren said through gritted teeth.
"I don't need your comments about me. I just need you to watch for her. For me? I mean we are pals here ne? Bye." Hao said, and then with a wave he left Ren alone there.
"I hate you." Ren muttered angrily again.

Ren was so furious about the things that Hao said that he didn't even noticed where his feet led him.
When his consciousness came back he noticed that he was standing at the door of Pirika's room.
He then slid the door opened finding Pirika there looking startled to see him.
"Ren?" Pirika muttered.
"I love you…" Ren said at once.
"Ren… but…"
"Why did you give yourself to him? Why did you let him do all those things to you? Do you think it's already hopeless?" Ren asked his eyes looking fiercely like an angry tiger.
Pirika didn't know exactly what he was saying. Though she's afraid… Ren was not in his usual mood. There was something wrong with him.
Ren then pushed Pirika until she was pressed on the wall with Ren in front of her holding her elbows.
Pirika was just stunned; she never thought that all these hatred, jealousy and anger inside of Ren would turn him like this. It was just unbreable.
Because of thinking too much again she tends to forget what was happening around her… good thing though she came back to her senses again…
Ren's breath was brushing in her face… and when she looked at Ren she noticed that his face was getting closer to her.
His golden eyes were shut as Pirika's heart started to beat rapidly again, she can't think about anything right now…
Ren was approaching her but before their lips could touch Pirika turned away from him.
Ren sensed this at once and opened his eyes in surprise.
"Why are men like that? You always think that a girl can easily be taken like that… I don't know how it feels like but please Ren," she then looked at Ren, staring right in his golden eyes and stopping herself form shaking so much.
"… stop acting like him. Stop acting like Hao." Pirika said as her voice started to break upon saying Hao's name.
Ren was taken aback…
He can't believe that his acts were like Hao… Hao… his most hatred person in the whole wide world… and to be like him must be the most humiliating embarrassment he felt… he acted like a jerk like Hao… like HAO for crying out loud!
Ren finally released Pirika from his grip and walked back, his face dark.
"Gomen nasai… I didn't mean to…" Ren muttered and he acted like he was about to go.
Pirika then snapped and went to Ren hugging him from behind.
"I love you too Ren… please don't go… don't leave me… I don't want to hear you say goodbye." Pirika whispered, "if you want to… I could give myself to you… it's better than to be Hao's wife."
Ren turned to her and cupped her face.
"I honor you like I the way I honor my family and to disgrace you must be the last thing I would do… so stop that." Ren said stiffly.
Though he still acts like that tough Ren, Pirika could sense the gentleness in his eyes, in his voice and in the way he touches her face,
Ren gave Pirika a soft kiss… a kiss that barely lasted for a while…
But for Pirika… it meant forever.
Her eyes were still closed though Ren already broke off.
"I'll wait for you by the porch. Come if you want to leave with me… let's forget about everything… don't worry like I promised you before… I'll treat your child like my own… I promise again…" Ren whispered in her lips.
Pirika nod and with that Ren Tao started to leave.
The silence took over the room and all Pirika could hear is her wild heartbeat…
"Leave everything… and live with him…" She muttered echoing the words in her mind…
"I can't leave everything… because he is my everything… I know my oniichan would understand… he's the one who told me to trust in what my heart says… and my heart longs to be with him… with Ren…"
See I told you Ren and Pirika forever… So what do you think will happen at the end of the story… please wait for it…
