"Ryu! I am so sorry. My mom is a right bitch for kicking you out. She should know that you ain't like that."

"Washu..."

Washu looked at Ryu strangely "What is it, Ryu? Oh, look! Your sheelve is riped. Here, let me sew it up."

Washu took Ryu's jacket off him and sewed up the ripped sheelve. She smiled at him. Ryu wasn't smiling. He had a serious look on his face.

"Washu, we can't go on like this. You have a family that love you and care about you very much. I can't have your mother hating you for being with me," he began.

Washu wrapped her arms around Ryu and she was crying.

"I care about you, Ryu. I don't care what my friends or family think. You are what is important in my life. We'll get married, have kids, get a home of our own. It will be great!"

Ryu put his hand on Washu's left cheek and smiled "I left my family and have no contact with them whatsoever. I care too much of you to be caught up in my mess. You are special. So special that I have to let you go. I can't bear to hurt you. If you be with me, the pain will be much worse than this."

"But Ryu-," Washu weeped.

"I am so sorry for things to end like this. But you should be free. You are like a swan. Bright with the most exotic eyes. Like a swan you should be free," Ryu finished.

Ryu hugged Washu one last time.

"Ryu, I can't hear your heartbeat..."


"Then Ryu kissed me one last time and walked away from me. Everyday, I look back on that day. I can't but think of the pain. I think about what might have happened if Ryu never left me. Would I be here with you? Would I hate Ryu? I can't help but wonder..." Washu told Keiko.

Keiko is one emotional woman. Keiko always cries at sad things. Like ET, Free Willy, Watership Down, any Micheal Bolten song. Funny, she laughed at Titanic. Anyway, she started to cry. Her and Washu started to hug eachother.

"You know what cheers me up when I am sad?" Keiko asked Washu.

Washu shouke her head.

"Gum!"

Keiko went into her bag and found a tape recorder. I had taped the whole conversation of Washu spilling her guts out about Ryu. Sneaky, I know! Keiko played the tape and was mortified (Hehe... that is Manta's word. Morty Manta's dubbed name - Mortified. Hello! I am making jokes at 4Kides Entertainment!) to hear Washu's emotions being played back. Washu was even more mortified.

"What the hell? Who would record us?" Washu asked, panicking.

"My Miki-kins!" Keiko announced.

Errr... Miki-Kins is my pet name that Keiko uses when she is in her 'I am cute' mood. Or just to annoy me. Mostly annoy me...

"Mikihisa? But why? I thought he was decent..."

"He is decent. Mikihisa likes to help people and set them up on dates. I thought he would have learned his lesson after setting up our friends together," Keiko explained.

"What happened when he set your friends up?" Washu asked.

"Got married, had kids and then divorced. A messy one too. Now, let's get revenege. I have a Micheal Bolten CD. Over there is the electronics store. Two add two makes four. Lets get revenege on my Miki-kins!"


Back home, Ryu was sitting watching TV while I was cleaning his room. GOD! Do I sound like his father? I was tidying away afew things into Washu's duffle-bag when I saw Washu's journal. I was always told by my father never to read other people's diaries. What is the point of writing one if no one ain't gonna read it? I wonder who she bad-mouths? I could not help myself but read what she wrote about me.

I opened at July 2nd 1996 (Shaman King was aired in 1997 in JAPAN! Just so you know...) I began to read it. It was an incident involing Ryu.

"Wow! Washu's mother sure comes out as a bad guy in this? Will Ryu and Washu go on a second date?" I said aloud.

Someone else was in the room...

"Wow! Mikihisa sounds like a bad bowlier," said Tokagero.

I dropped Washu's diary and went over to see what Tokagero was up to. He was reading Ryu's diary. Yes, I was shocked too. Ryu keeps a diary of his thoughts... about his hair, girls and motorcycles and the odd mentioning of his mood for curly fries...

I grabbed the diray from Tokagero and read it. It mentioned the day, Ryu, Keiko, Father, Tamao and I went bowling... It's another fanfic! (Very funny too if you ain't me! One shot though...)

"You should not read other people's diaries!" I lectured.

Tokagero gave me one strange look. I was holding Washu's diary on my left arm. Tokagero thought I was stupid to give him a lecture when I was doing the exact same thing.

"You are doing the exact same thing as I am," he replied.

"No, I am not!" I jumped.

Ryu walked in. He was gonna write his diary when he saw me holding both his and Washu's diary. He didn't look so happy. At first when he saw his diary but when he was me holding Washu's diary he had another idea in his head.

"Is there anything about me in Washu's diary?" Ryu asked.

"YOU DATED WASHU!" I freaked.

Ryu gave me a serious look. It was like he didn't want to talk about it at all with me or Tokagero. But being the pushy Master Mikihisa, I managed to drag it out from him.

"Spill it, Elvis!" I said freaking out like a complete mad man.

Ryu sat down on his bed and pulled out his wallet. His wallet has no money. The only perious thing in it is a photograph. A photograph of Ryu kissing Washu's cheek. (You can tell he hadn't shaved.) It was taken many years ago. Ryu smiled at the look of the Photograph. It brought back memories to him.


Ryu and Washu's 150th Date
March 12 1996

"That photo is so cute!" Washu said holding Ryu's hand and looking at it.

"You look very pretty in it. Yet, everyday, you look pretty."

They sat down at a park bench. To take a little rest. Ryu and Washu's head turned and looked at eachother. Then Ryu was about to go to second base aka French Kiss when Muscle Punch and Ballboy stopped them.

"Washu's mom said she that she should be home by now! It's past her bedtime," Muscle Punch said butting in.

"Washu's mom also set you, a bedtime, Ryu," Ballboy pointed out.


"Washu is one of the most perious people in my life. When her mother accused me of stealing from her. I couldn't handle living there no more. Washu wanted to be with me but she wasn't holding a grudge against her family like I was. Jake only kicked me out when I stood up to him and he told me not to bother coming back. I lived with Washu for that year. Then her brother got into drugs and stole money from Washu's mom and managed to pin the blame on me. So, I left Washu. I couldn't take her away from her family."

Hearing Ryu spill out his feelings for Washu seemed the most sadiest things I have ever heard in my life. (More sad than that movie, Titanic. I DID CRY!) I only had one idea. To bring Ryu and Washu back together. No one was gonna stop me from doing that!
