Everybody loves Horo:
Hao. Ren. Yoh. Three eager bachelors and just one innocent Ainu. Let the games begin.

"Hmmm…Ren? What're you looking at?"
"Nothing, there was a mosquito on the wall and it was annoying me."
''Oh"
Horokeu Usui blinked quickly, a curious expression on his face as he questioned the said Chinese Shaman. He, Ren, Hao and Yoh were all sitting in the living room of the Funbari Onsen, watching a movie filled with mindless violence, and none of the others seemed to be paying attention, other then the Ainu himself of course.
Hao had sat himself next to the blue-haired shaman quickly as soon as the movie had began, and sometimes Horo would find a hand being wrapped around his waist, or the older Asakura twin would snuggle up to him, earning glares from Ren, which earned the purple haired shaman a tongue stuck out in his direction, courtesy of the fire master himself.
On that note, Ren had sat on the couch directly across from Horohoro and Hao, and kept a steely golden eye on them through out the entire film, sending death stares at Hao before turning back to the movie for a few moments and sighing in an irritated fashion.
Yoh on the other hand, had offered to get the Ainu a soda, some popcorn, anything he wanted, sitting himself at the foot of the couch Hao and Horo shared at the moment with a lazy grin spread across his face. He was watching the movie at times, but seemed more focused on making sure that Horokeu was as comfortable as possible most of time.
Horohoro, being the naïve innocent he was, seemed oblivious to all the attention he was receiving from the others, and focused all his attention on the movie. An hour and a half went by until the Ainu began to feel his eye-lids droop… The movie was nearly over, and all the violence was finished, which only left for the smooth, peaceful ending. The boring part in his mind. Letting out a yawn he had not been expecting to come out, Horo rubbed his eyes and glanced around the room. Hao was sitting next to him, leaning a bit closer every few seconds, Ren was watching the older Asakura with malice, and Yoh was leaning against his leg, staring at the television screen blankly.
"Hey you guys? I'm really tire---"
Horohoro began to speak, but the instant his voice sounded, three heads snapped in his direction, all eyes focused on him.
"You're tired! Here, I'll go get you a blanket!" Yoh offered, standing up and rushing out of the room.
"No…He needs to go to his room. Horo, come, I'm tired as well, let's retire for the night" Ren spoke confidently, making his way toward the halls where all the rooms were located.
"Aww! Horo, stay here with me until the movie is over…If you fall asleep I'll take you to your room! I promise" Hao said slowly, watching the Ainu with large eyes.
"No. If he stays here he will get sick. The screen doors and windows do not keep out the wind so he needs to go to his room with me. We must train tomorrow very early in morning" The Tao retorted before anyone could speak. "Besides, I'm sure he doesn't want to be near you" he added quickly, smirking at the look on Hao's face.
"Horohoro! I got you a blanket… You must be cold" Yoh ran into the room once more, clutching a blanket tightly to his chest as he made his way over to where the three other shaman were located.
"Uhh… Thanks Yoh" the onyx-eyed boy said quickly, grabbing the blanket and attempting to wrap it around himself.
"Here, let me do that for you" Hao offered, leaning in close to the Ainu until his mouth was directly above his ear. "This'll keep you nice and warm so we can have fun tonight…You are staying with me, right?" he whispered lowly, nipping the ear for a moment before quickly covering the ice shaman in the blanket and snuggling next to him. Horo jumped slightly at the small prick in his ear, turning to stare at the older Asakura with surprised expression on his face.
The Tao, seeing the odd movement Hao made on his territory, walked quickly over to the fire shaman, yanking him off the blunette and dragging him towards the bedrooms. Hao's room, being the first on the left of the hall, was in clear view when Ren yanked the door open, tossed the eldest Asakura inside, and slammed the door shut. Turning to stare at the two remaining shaman in the living room, the Chinese shaman simply glared and made his way to his own room.
Horo cocked his head to side, clutching the blanket tightly around him and standing up. This entire ordeal had taken at least five minutes, and the movie credits were now rolling. "Yoh, maybe we should go to sleep now?" the Ainu suggested softly, turning to look at the younger Asakura with an amused expression on his face. "Yeah, sure, let's go then" the brunette agreed, grabbing Horo's arm gently and walking towards the hallway.
Horo's room was in between Hao's and Yoh's and directly across from Ren's, so, after being led to his 'home' by the younger of the Asakura twins, he shut the door quietly behind him, yawning loudly. Pulling his pants off and taking off his jacket, the Ainu was completely unaware of three doors in the hall opening simultaneously as he climbed into bed, pulling the covers up over his head.
Outside the Horokeu's room, three pairs of eyes all watched each other carefully. One pair was glaring, one was flashing mischievously, and the last pair simply lifted both eyebrows in apparent surprise.
"What are you doing here Ren? And you too Hao?" the owner of the surprised pair of eyes grinned, stepping into the dim light to reveal that it was Yoh…Again.
"I could ask you the same thing" Golden, glaring eyes flashed in brief annoyance as Tao Ren stepped forward, eyes locked with the others.
"Me…I was gong to go see if Horo-chan would let me sleep in his bed with him tonight…I'm cold" Hao smirked at the other two, ignoring the looks he got before starting to walk towards the Ainu's room. "You'd better not" The Tao spoke up, taking a quick step and blocking his path. Yoh simply stood there, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly. "Well, I was gonna go turn off the T.V. We left it on" he lied, walking down the hall and away from the other two. The younger Asakura knew a fight would break between those two soon and he wanted to be no where near when it happened
"I can go wherever I want Renny-kun" Hao smirked at the Tao, brushing past him and lifting his hand up to knock on the door. "You had better not" The Chinese said sharply, grabbing his wrist and stopping before he could knock on the oblivious Ainu's door. Before Hao could respond, the same door slid open to reveal a tired looking Horohoro only in his boxers and a thin white T-shirt.
"Could you guys keep it down please, I'm trying to sleep" he muttered between a yawn, giving a sleepy smile and then beginning to slide the door shut again, completely unaware of the two now blushing in his presence. "Wait Horo-kun! I'm cold and Ren is being mean to me… Can I stay in your bed with you for awhile?" before the Tao could say anything, Hao had spoken and beat him to hit. The Ainu blinked drowsily at the older Asakura for a moment before simply nodding and opening so that he could step through, toot tired to really think straight. "Just please be quiet..." he responded groggily, starting to slide the door as soon as the fire shaman had entered. Hao smirked over his shoulder to the purple haired shaman just before the door 'clicked' shut.
Ren gaped.
That asshole! That stupid fire wielding asshole was taking his Horo! Tomorrow he would make sure that the Ainu saw none of Hao, and only him. Glaring at the closed door, he walked off to his own room angrily, shutting the door behind him just in time to see a rather confused Yoh looking at Hao's empty room, the door wide open, and then pausing as he listened to muffled voices from Horo's room. With a defeated sigh, the younger Asakura twin made his way to his own part of the house…Maybe tomorrow he could get Horo to go to movies with him or something…
0o0o0o0o0
Hao grinned, leaping into bed behind Horo and staring at the Ainu happily. "Thanks Horo-kun" he said with a slight smirk, hearing the muffled "No problem" in reply and sighing in bliss. Horokeu was his and no one else's…
He watched the blunette as he began to drift off to sleep, the way his deep obsidian eyes fluttered softly shut and his mouth opened a bit. The fire shaman listened as his breathing slowed, his chest moving up and down gently as the boy shifted a bit, getting into a more comfortable position. Hesitating for only a moment, Hao lifted his hand up slightly, reaching out to touch the Ainu's face.
With a slight gasp of surprise, he trailed a finger around the snow boy's soft cheeks, mesmerized by delicate feel of his skin. Moving gently towards his lips, his felt them with the type of care one would give a young infant, as if they would break if handled too roughly. Smiling possessively at the boy next to him, Hao knew that some day, those lips would be his. Not Ren's, not Yoh's, but his.
Wrapping an arm around the waist of the unknowing Horohoro next to him, the fire shaman knew that tonight, he would get some good sleep…With his innocent little Ainu.
0o0o0o0o0
Ren glared at the ceiling, lying on his bed, still fully dressed. How dare Hao take what he wanted! He was a Tao for god's sake! Shifting his position a bit to stare at the door, he nearly yelled in anger when he heard a small gasp from Horo's room, Hao's gasp. Gritting his teeth, the Chinese boy knew that tomorrow, he would wake up early and whisk Horo away before anyone could notice. They had been planning to train together the next day anyway. Ren just had to make sure Hao wasn't informed in the process…
0o0o0o0o0
The youngest of the Asakura twins sighed miserably from his position on his windowsill, where he stared up lazily at the sky. Why did his onii-chan always get what Yoh, himself, wanted? Glancing at the wall that separated Horo's room and his own, he gave a slight smile. Tomorrow he would just have to get Horo to pay some more attention to him…
