SM: I don't own Shaman King.

Name: Life.

Couple: YohRen.

Yoh's house

Yoh watched Ren carefully. The Chinese shaman had been staying at his house for a while. He didn't want to go back to his house because it would upset him too much. A month ago Jun had died, she had been murdered by a rival Chinese family, and ever since the funeral Ren hadn't talked to anyone. Yoh was staring to get really worried.

He carefully approached the smaller boy. "Ren?" He asked. No reply was given. "Ren please talk to me." Still a silence, Ren just gazed out of the window he was sat next to. "Ren you are really starting to scare me. Please can you talk to me, I just want to help."

Ren turned to face Yoh. The younger boys eyes were bloodshot and red marks travelled down his cheeks from him crying. "I miss her." He said and looked out of the window again.

Yoh sighed. At least he said something. Yoh thought wearily. "I know you miss her, but that's not going to bring her back." He said softly. He sat in front of Ren. "Jun cared about you a lot; she wouldn't want you to be sad all the time just because she's gone."

"But I can't help it, Yoh." Ren said; Yoh could see tears well up in his eyes. "I just keep thinking that I will turn around and see her again. She was the only person in my family I cared about."

The tears fell from the golden eyes, running down his cheeks. Yoh moved closer to Ren and wiped the tears from boy's skin. "It will all be better you'll see." Yoh tried to comfort his distraught friend. "Time can heal all wounds."

Ren shook his head. "But what if I forget her?"

"You won't." The elder said. "She is in your heart. And people who are in our hearts are never forgotten." He placed his hand over the others heart to emphasise his point.

Ren placed his hand onto Yoh's. "You promise?"

"Yes." Yoh nodded.

"How long will it take until the pain is gone?"

Yoh thought for a minute. "The pain doesn't really leave us entirely it just doesn't hurt as much. And it will only lessen if you let it."

Ren nodded, closing his eyes. "Thank you Yoh."

Yoh stood up slowly, Ren let go of Yoh's hand. "It's okay." Yoh said, he bent down and brushed his lips over Ren's cheek. "Feel better soon." Yoh left the shocked Chinese boy.

Ren brought his hand up to touch his cheek. He looked out the window and smiled. "Goodbye nee-san." He got up to follow Yoh. All he had to do was believe that his sister will be with him and try to move on, but always hold her in his heart. He left the room.
