Ah! Thursday. A nice sunny morning. I was in the kitchen with Washu. She was gonna leave in 3 days and I had to find out her true feelings for Ryu. If I found those out I could act upon those and bingo! Ryu is married, is Shaman King and Washu is Shaman Queen. I will still be with Keiko and Tamao will be a nun. Haha!

I sat down at the table with Washu. She was eating cereal without milk... I decided to use that to strike a conversation up with her and then move on to other topics. Hey! I saw it on TV! And... it always worked.

"So, not eating cereal with milk?" I asked.

Washu nodded "I hate it with milk. It's all mushy and hard to eat. It's like mud when you walk in it in your brand new trainers or something like that anyway."

Washu took a mouthful of her cereal.

"Oh, I see. What other things do you like for breakfast?"

"French Toast. Ryu makes the best. He is a great cook. The perfect match for me would be a good cook," Washu said finishing her breakfast.

One Point! Ryu can cook! SCORE! Boy! I sound like a football player in a Scotland team.

"What other qualities would you consider in your 'perfect' match?"

Washu smiled "Great hair, great body. A good sense of humor and must love cats."

Ryu has great hair, point one. Has a good sense of humor another point for that. Another point for body. He does have abs I was still suck on the cats thing. Oh well! Best 4/5.

"Are you attracted to women that go hyperactive over ice cream and do the female full Monty?" Washu laughed.

I went red with annoyance. Only you couldn't really see it you see. Washu was laughing hysterically at me. She found it funny. That girl's laughter is powerfully heartful. It's real unlike the fake laughs I hear at my jokes.

Anna aged 9,
Yoh asged 10 and a half

"Hello Anna. That's a pretty dress you are wearing. What are you and Yoh doing?" I asked.

Anna has a scarcastic grin on her face "We are telling jokes."

"Oh! I have this funny one. How do sprites eat? By Goblin. Gettit? Gobbling... Goblin. Hahaha!" I laughed hysterically.

Yoh did a fake laugh and Anna gave me a straight look. I swear that girl is never pleased with anything! She got her sandal and threw it at me.

"MIKIHISA! YOU HAVE CRAP JOKES!"

Ryu came in the kitchen again. Wearing his underwear. He woke up to Washu's laughter. Which was also loud. Louder than Keiko's Jason Donovan CD! And she always put that loud. (Stupid JD! Jason Donovan's nickname)

"Morning everyone!" Ryu greeted.

Ryu went into a cupboard and got a glass out and then went over to the fridge and got the milk to pour it in the glass. I looked shocked! He always drink outta the carton. I became more convinced about their feelings towards eachother.

"Ryu, why aren't you drinking outta the carton?" I said looking shocked.

"Washu is here. It's rude to drink outta a carton in front of a lady," Ryu replied.

Ryu sat down next to Washu. I couldn't take it any more!

In my father's shrine with Tamao and Tokagero. I had to tell them about my plan. Hell! Do you expect me to do all of it by myself? I don't think so...

"Any ideas?" I asked.

"For what, Mr Asakura? You haven't explained anything," Tamao explained.

"He wants to set Ryu and his friend up. If Ryu and his friend are not dating, there is probably a reason for it. Cupid is the one who gets paid for this stuff. You must be stupid if you think you are Cupid," Tokagero blabbed on.

"If you don't want to be apart of this, then get out."

Tokagero floated away "YES! FINALLY!"

We watch Tokagero float away from the scene. Tamao couldn't help but agree with the things Tokagero said. Was there a reason why Ryu and Washu weren't together?

"Mr Asakura..."

"Yes Tamao..." I repled with a sigh.

"I am sorry but I can't help agreeing with Tokagero. If Ryu and his friend are not dating then there must be a reason. Maybe Ryu's friend is married or something," Tamao explained.

I didn't listen to what Tamao said. I was day-dreaming. I pictured Ryu's Wedding day with Washu. It seemed... ok it was the most perfect thing ever.

Mikihisa's Day-Dream
Ryu and Washu's Wedding Day

Picture this.

I have long dark hair and you can see my face. By the way, I am pretty! Wearing a tuxedo like Tuxedo Mask from Sailor Moon (I don't get what Keiko sees in him!) Ryu was waiting at the end of the alisle. I was best man. The Wedding was in a big Shrine. Yoh was usher (No! Not the crappy RnB Pop Star! At least Keiko doesn't like him. Phew!) Anyway, everyone is sitting down in their seats. But the piano-man faints b'coz the Wedding is way bigger than Camelia and Charles's Wedding aka a Royal Wedding. (Nannie na na!)

Suddenly, there is no piano player.

"Oh no! Who shall play the piano for my Shaman Bride to walk down the alisle?" Ryu cried.

I ripped my shirt open like I was Superman. I was wearing a shirt with the Superman logo but only has an M instead of an S. M for Mikihisa. Haha! I am way better than Superman.

I play the piano and the only song I can play on the Piano is Olivia Newton John's Lets Get Phsyical. Oh well better than nothing.

The beauitful bride, Washu walks down the alisle to me playing Olivia Newton John on the piano. Everyone is happy. She reached the end and faces towards Ryu.

"We are gathered here today to celebrate the love... Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah!"

Ryu was about to kiss Washu on the lips when...

"Mikihisa!" Tamao shouted.

"What? What is it?" I said as I went back to Earth.

"You were drooling..."

I rolled my eyes around the room.

Keiko was out shopping with Washu. On my request. I know I will regret this b'coz Keiko buys a lot of junk when we go shopping. I remember when Yoh and Hao were gonna be born... She bought 100 clothes for them both. When Hao was taken away Yoh had them all to himself. He wore a different outfit everyday that a baby modelling Adency wanted him...

"Oh I love shopping! Miki never let me go shopping after buying Yoh and Hao a lot of clothes and toys!" Keiko giggled.

"I never heard Mikihisa talk about Hao..."

Keiko and Washu sat down at the bench in the mall. She had a serious talk with Washu about shamans and stuff like that. They were bonding like mother and daughter. I forgot to put a tape in the recorder in Keiko's bag so I couldn't record it... But I still know what happened.

"Hao is this evil shaman that always recarnates himself into another life after he passes away or gets killed. He decided to be born in the Asakura Bloodline b'coz that is how he first came into world as an Asakaru. Hao is the only one that has managed to master all five points of the destiny star. He is that strong. So, that is how my Miki-kins doesn't like talking about him. Now, any dirt on Ryu when he was a boy?" Keiko giggled.

Washu grinned "When we were kids, his sister had a Birthday Party and he was being a bad little boy and being mean to his sister. So when he was eating some cake, his sister got a bucket full of water and splashed it all over him and he started crying b'coz his best hair do was wet."

Keiko and Washu both laughed.

"So how long have you known Ryu?"

"Since I was 5 years old. When I was 14 and he was 15, we dated eachother for a year. We went our sperate ways. Our problems were mostly caused by Jake. He treated Ryu like dirt so Ryu left home and he came to live with me. Then my mom kicked him out and when Ryu gets kicked out, his gang members left home. They were very close with eachother," Washu explained.

"You dated Ryu!"

"Yeah! He was my first kiss. My first love. He was so sweet, I'll tell ya that."

Washu puts her hand behind her neck and puts her head up and then grins at the blue cloudy sky with 2 birds flying through it all. She was thinking about what happened on the day, her mother kicked Ryu out.

Washu aged 15
Ryu aged 16

Ryu was smoking in Washu's room. (Hello! Ryu is a smoker!)Washu was sitting next to Ryu on her bed. Ryu had his arm around Washu. His hair was down and was wearing a shirt and boxer shorts. They were listening to music.

"Do you wanna go out tonight?"

"Yes, why not. Gets me away from your mother. I think she hates me," Ryu said.

Takes a puff of his cigarette and kisses Washu's forehead.

Washu walks up to her closet and pulls out a shirt.

"My mom does not hate you. She doesn't like your smoking or taking me rides on your bike," she reasurred him. "Do you like this shirt?"

Ryu put out his cigarette and goes into Washu's closet and picks out a shirt and passes it to Washu.

"This brings out your eyes. Your eyes are very pretty," Ryu said holding the shirt against Washu's torso.

Washu and Ryu hugged eachother and were about to kiss when Washu's mother came in. She accused Ryu of stealing money from her.

"Washu! I want him out!" Her mom shouted.

"What!" Washu said shocked.

"That boyfriend of yours stole money from me!"

Her mother looked at the ashtray full of cigarette butts. Her mother became more mad than ever.

"Mom! You have known Ryu for a long time! He wouldn't do such a thing. My Ryu ain't like that!" Washu screamed.

"Excuses! Excuses! I want him out by the morning!"

Washu's mother left the room. Washu was crying. Ryu hugged her. He and her both knew who really stole that money. Washu's brother who was secretly doing drugs...

"I know you are innocent!" Washu weeped as she hugged Ryu.

Ryu held Washu closely.
