Drabble 44: Long, Long Ago

By: Kigen

Unofficially entitled Bedtime Stories of a Crimson Nightmare. YohLyserg fairy tale fluff!

Disclaimer: I can't even draw Lyserg's hair correctly, let alone him in the manga. That, and Yoh never plays with his hair or runs his hands through it or… Shaman King is not mine.

Once upon a time, in a land far far away, in a time long long ago; there lived a brave samurai warrior, a dangerous, evil sorcerer, and a beautiful boy that never smiled.

The evil sorcerer killed many many people in his attempts to 'purify' the world. Two such people that were unfortunate to die at the hands of his fire summons were the beautiful boy's parents.

And so, the brave samurai; along with a devoted doctor, a fierce Chinese warlord, a smiling jaguar warrior, a peaceful naturalist, a devoted squire, and even the beautiful boy; defeated the evil sorcerer and brought peace to the world.

And yet; the beautiful boy, who worked so hard and long to destroy the evil that killed his parents was still sad and lonely.

It took many nights, many gentle words and loving smiles, many trials and many mistakes; but the brave samurai was able to coax a smile out of the beautiful boy.

And the beautiful boy let the samurai warrior take his hand.

And they lived happily ever after.
