Name: Words that changed the world
Author: Rain on Your Back
Disclaimer: Shaman King belongs to Hiroyuki Takei, and the words belong to the theme Alpha of the Livecommunity 50 Sentences. Would have posted it there too, but I didn't see soon enough that it was only on pairings and not on entire fandoms... Silly me^^
Warning: Spoilers from the manga & anime. Oh, and some strange wandering of my mind on Marion & Marco. %)
Enjoy!

When her master died, she had cried for a very long time, but then he had come along to play with her as he had promised.
2 – Kiss Marco&Jeanne (tome 26)
When she gave him her last chance to survive and when he felt Shamash's lips reviving him, Marco cried, because his adoptive daughter had grown into the Saint she was raised to be, and because he didn't know if it was a good thing…
3 – Soft HaoXJeanne
His lips are too soft for a devil, she realizes.

"If you were the first to try and forget the pain, I would not stop you…"
5 – Potatoes OpachôXSeyram
"Seyram do not eat potatoes, Opachô will not either!"
6 – Rain HaoXJeanne
It rains on her body, and the more he sees the drops running down her cheeks, the more he regrets…

Marco finds funny the fact that, after Meene's fight and death, he sees something sensual in the way the bottle of wiskey is calling him.
13 – Death HaoXJeanne

Their speed is amazing, they all say, but she wishes she was faster when he beats her to say he loves her.

24 – Taste HoroXMarion
"Ewwww!" she shrieks, and Horo laughs and explain her leaves of Fuki aren't food.

Mari would always follow her Hao-sama, because Hao-sama had taken her when no one else would, and when even her real father had preferred to her a stupid albino-looking French girl.
26 – Forever KannaXRackist
Forever doesn't last so long when you're Hao-sama's comrade, she mutters to the dark priest who says he wants to be with her for always, and that's the only thing required for him to think she's a traitor and walk away – she sighs, thinking it's often hard to protect the one you love.
27 – Blood RackistXMeeneXMarco Meene&Jeanne (tome 16)

33 – Fear HaoXJeanne
She fears him, and he senses it, that's why he only sent Rackist against her, to leave her a chance.

36 – Market OpachôXSeyram
He likes the bright colors, she dislikes the loud sounds, but together going to the market was a very lovable experience.
37 – Technology HaoXJeanne
Neither of them ever had to deal with technology, so the fire Shaman and the Holy Girl can only listen carefully when Yoh explains how to pay taxes online.

Her last gift, the X Pendulum, is very precious to Lyserg, so, even away in England, he keeps it with him.

Before going to Heavens and meeting her God, the young Maiden knew another heaven, with another god – the fact that this one was a demon didn't matter.
45 – Hell HaoXJeanne
Demons go to hell, angels to Heaven, so they've got a problem, because they want to stay with each other.

Supernovas create worlds and destroy them, so maybe they were supernovas, he being the one who destroyed her and she being the one who created him.
Rain: ... Maybe I'll make different versions with one pairing only... Gonna see...
Hao: Am I dreaming? You didn't only pair me with Jeanne?
Rain: ... Well... Mari and Ruthie are great too... But I prefer Jeanne!
Hao: *on the verge of crying* Maybe I'll escape someday! Maybe someday she'll totally stop pairing me!
