-sigh- here I present you the way-too-long delayed fourth chapter of Changes...I used to be Sorrowful Rain, by the way. Thanks to my reviewers Illumina, kohujogirl (you've pretty much gotten the point through you want Lyserg/Jeanne...o.O though I appreciate your many reviews! -cough-), damarie, Padfootikachu-chan, animeking, and s91. With Anna kind of back in Pirika, eh...he he...poor Yoh. And, everyone else wakes up, Hao wreaks MORE havoc, and Horo Horo's fiancée comes in, this will definitely get interesting! ...And strange. Doik. -makes Horo Horo's fiancée a Mary-Sue- and please, DON'T ask where Amidamaru went, I don't need him yet.

Yoh miserably picked at the meal of scrambled eggs and toast Anna had made for him while Pirika relayed to him his training schedule for that day.
"You'll run 40 kilometers with the 35 pound weights on your legs and hands."
Anna dropped something in the kitchen (due to her Tamao-clumsyness) with a shriek.
"You'll do 350 pushups," Pirika continued, tying a white bandana to her hair.
"What was that?" a sleepy voice called from the girls' room. "...Where am I?"
"You'll perform 50 pull-ups, 400 curl-ups, and then clean the hot springs," Pirika concluded as the doorbell rang and Jeanne came into the dining room in a very Pirika-way with her hands on her hips. "What's all this noise?" she demanded, glaring. "Where's Horo Horo? I need to...train (yeah right! More like torture)...him..."
Just then, Millie walked in, delicately placing her steps like a certain French angel. "Thou shall not steal," she said sternly to Tamao, who had ran in and tried to take some of Yoh's food (having Millie's personality in her, of course).
In all the confusion (and Anna dropping more things), Yoh quickly slipped out of the dining room to answer the doorbell. (Tamao took the opportunity to take Yoh's food, much to Millie's annoyance.)
Opening the door, the Japanese shaman found his very twin counterpart preparing to break down the door with his Spirit of Fire. "Eh..." Hao laughed nervously. "Let's not let Anna find out about that, shall we?"
"That's not the problem..." Yoh started, when Jeanne rushed up to the Asakura twins to see who was at the door. She took one look at Hao, started brushing so profusely and hard you could almost feel the heat radiating off her cheeks. The Iron Maiden looked away from the older twin, mumbled something and scurried away.
Hao gave the girl a bemused look and turned back to Yoh. "What--" he began, letting his Spirit of Fire vanish (a bit too soon, I should say), when this time Pirika walked over to them, crossing her arms coolly and glaring at Hao."Harm one bit of the Funbari Onsens," she whispered murderously to him, "and I'll make you suffer so much you won't have much hopes of getting reincarnated again." With that, she tossed her hair and strode away.
"That's the problem," Yoh finished, hooking his headphones over his ears and preparing to turn his cassette player on when Hao intervened.
"There's more," he said, dragging his hand through his hair distractedly. "You...know about the Five Kisses of Aphrodite?"
Yoh put his finger on his chin. "Isn't that a legend? The five kisses, when bespelled upon mortals, would drive them into some kinds of love?"
Hao's right bang twitched and he would have sweatdropped if he wasn't a bishounen villain. "I, er...unleashed them on the girls."
"WHAT?!!"
"And they activate..." Hao leaned over to look at Yoh's watch and his right bang twitched again. "Right about now."

Shortly after visiting Chocolove the day Hao unleashed the kisses on the girls, Horo Horo gathered his things and journeyed to the Ainu tribe's current location--which had been his real intention, but he couldn't tell his friends of course. No one knew he had a fiancée...except him, her, Pirika, and the rest of the tribe, of course.
Liviriara was sweet, and beautiful, sure. But she didn't have any shamanic abilities, couldn't cook if her life depended on it, wasn't cutely clumsy, or anything Tamao was--and everything Tamao was Horo Horo liked. So he didn't like his fiancée. Liviriara was way too perfect for his taste.
Horo Horo yawned and nodded every now and then while listening to Liviriara's way-too-melodious-and-throaty voice droned on about the Koro Pokkuru. Trying to smile weakly, he watched in horror while the female Ainu moved her head and her ice-blue, fashionably short curly hair changed different shades of cobalt. Twitching, he noticed that her eyes sparkled way too much and her black sooty eyelashes were way too long. It hurt to see...poor Horo Horo...
Liviriara was just going onto how only Horo Horo, HER soon-to-be-husband, could fix the fate of the Koro Pokkuru, and Horo Horo was cringing, when a certain pink-headed prophetess burst into the room, grabbed his face, and kissed a very-surprised Horo Horo on the lips.-

OMAKE
((don't own Dissolution by Richard Lee Byers. Set in non-existent time in the Shaman King world.))
"I've seen you reading quite a bit of American books these days," Anna sniffed. Yoh stepped back nervously, preparing for a rebuke. But Anna continued. "So...I got you this book." The itako handed an astonished Yoh a large, hardcover novel. "Read it and I'll let you off 15 kilometers when you run."
Staring incredulously at his fiance, wondering why she was being so kind, Yoh thanked her and turned the book over to read the summary. "'Menzoberranzen the Mighty. City of grandeur and cruelty, home of deadly swordsmen and diabolical necromancers. The brightest jewel of the vast subterranean world called the Underdark, and proudest achievement of the sinister race known as the drow, Menzoberranzan is a place with a mystery at its heart, a secret flaw that threatens to destroy it.' Anna, are you sure you weren't born there?"
Anna's fist connected squarely with the side of Yoh's head and sent him crashing into the wall.
