Disclaimer: I'm moving back in with my parents in about a week. If Shaman King was mine, the sale from hidden yaoi episodes/manga chapters alone would get me a house of my own.

Lyserg crouched behind the thick foliage of the leafy hedge.
For some reason that Lyserg may never understand, Ren wanted to learn about dowsing, and how it was done. Lyserg had taken the time over the past few weeks to teach Ren all the basics of dowsing, identifying spiritual energy, focusing the mind's eye, and how to move your furyoku to lead you to your object.
Now, Lyserg was giving Ren a real test, a moving target. He had hidden himself about seven minutes ago, and from the slam he had heard four minutes ago, Ren had come outside.
Lyserg stood, still, his breathing as soft as possible. If Ren got too close, he would have to go someone else for Ren to track him.
It was like a game of cat and mouse.
It was a glorified version of hide and seek with shamanic power abuse.
Lyserg had to cover his mouth with his hand to stifle his giggle at those last thoughts. Not the hide and seek part, but the fact that he could now image Ren lying on the couch with a pair of kitty ears, tail, and bell collar. The image came far too easily.
It didn't appear to work though, as a tiny giggle escaped.
Morphine fluttered close by, warning Lyserg.
He was coming..
A rustle of leaves, and Ren pushed back leaf heavy branches to see absolutely nothing. Scowling, Ren continued his search.
Lyserg peered out the shed window to spy on Ren. He was gonna have to yell at the Chinese shaman later.
Ren had long discarded the ring on a string that Lyserg had given him to search with, in favor of searching aimlessly.
Ren was SO cheating.
Craning his neck as he peered through the dirty glass, the dowser epped in surprise when a pair of strong arms wrapped around his waist. "Ack! Ren, how'd you get in here?" Lyserg craned his head back to look into slitted golden eyes.
Ren was defiantly a cat.
"You were too busy trying to see me to notice." Ren answered, letting Lyserg go and walking outside into the fresh air.
Lyserg nodded, before crossing his arms. "You, cheated."
"So?" Ren lifted an eyebrow. "I still found you."
Lyserg relaxed his posture, sticking out his tongue.
"Haven't caught me yet though."
And with that, Lyserg took off running through the yard, Ren hot of his tail.
And thus, the game of cat and mouse went on
