The long drawn out winter night was cold and unforgiving as I walked out from a small building looking up at the crisp clear night sky, the wind hit my face the cold breeze nipping at my ears. I pull my jacket up closer with my right hand as I make my way back to my little place of heaven, home. I couldn't help but feel slightly saddened by the recent turn of events, my shoes hit the ground hard while I was lost in my thoughts not at all realising my walking pace had quickened not to mention the way my shoulders slumped forward.

I wasn't sure what I will come home to honestly, my heart quickened at the thought of Hao still being there, I mean company can't be that bad right?, wrong this was Hao we where talking about. I signed deep closing my eyes momonteraly as the thought crushed my mind. I didn't know Hao enough to criticise his personality so there for I could not agree to certain peoples ways of dealing with the elder twin. Why did the thought of returning into my well heated little place of heaven on my own upset him? Perhaps I did want to get to know the shaman more, deep down I will admit this to be true.

I pick up the pace opening my eyes watching the wet path before me as I head down the road my apartment was located on. This was it, once outside I stop in my tracks stand in front of the small 5 steps and look up at the 5th floor window that was my home and my nerves where on edge, this would be it. I place my shaking right hand into the wet pocket of my jacket clumsy pulling out my keys as I walk up the slippery death trap steps and once at the metal sealed door I push the key into the familiar lock and turn, once opened I find myself hurrying up the stair case as if I was late for work and left something important.

I stopped in front of my door, would he be there? or did the Asakuras seal his whole being away? I let my house key slid into the lock and took a few moments before I turned to push the door opening gently. I step inside and there wasn't a sound, I look around as I kick the wet shoes off my feet, pull my jacket off and hang it on a hook by my door to dry. My eyes where searching I walk in as if I was about to burgle the place, carful and alert.

I soon made my way into light airy bedroom and soon my face softened as I was greeted by a lady I saw earlier keiko, the twins mother. She was sitting on the bedside and looking down at the elder twin who looked no different from when I left him. I cleared my throat making myself known to the women, standing straight as she turned offering a soft smile. "welcome home" she replayed in a soothing tone, I was't quite sure what to say other then "Thank you" we pursed for a moment neither saying anything a few minutes pasted as she stood from her place "Please excuse my rudeness, staying here while the others left. I meant no offence" I was slightly taken back and shock my head offering her a smile of my own "Please don't apologise you are more then welcome to you are after all his mother" as I say these words I see her face drop slightly as she once again looked down at the shaman.

I felt like I had offended her now, she seemed lost and well to put it simple, Sad. I was about to ask when she spoke in that soft tone once again "It seems a shame, I am his mother but I know nothing about him...truly" I felt like I should say something my mouth opened but nothing came out I found this was a difficult time for her, Yoh didn't speak much of his mother but when he did his face would glow as he spoke of her. I needed to say something! "you know you are more then welcome to stay longer, I take it they only sealed his power in the end?" she nodded in response never taking her eyes off her child "For us to seal Hao away we would have to Seal Yoh to, that is something I will not allow to happen but it was never a option to begin with... It is strange" she stopped there for a few moments I raise my eyebrow not understanding what was strange "I didn't spent much time with Yoh as he grew up my father did that and I feel like I would like to know Hao also".

I saw it then, a spark in her eyes as she sat down once again placing a hand on Haos temple her thumb gently stroking his forehead, a mothers love no matter what could never be broken, part of me wishes Hao was seeing this affection that was blessed on him at this very moment.

She looked over her shoulder at me a soft kind look that would melt your heart "Thank you for agreeing to keep a eye on him, I do feel bad he will not be happy when he wakes up" I sigh deep, Yes it is true the patch decided someone needed to keep a eye on the young shaman and of course I was the one they picked as I am already looking after him "It's fine, at least I can call you if there is any problems" She looked down at Hao in time to not see my face screw up at the though of having him around, after all I wanted to get rid of him! I feel like I have taken in a stray cat.

Keiko leaned over placing a soft kiss on her eldest sons forehead before standing looking at Silva "you have my thanks, If you have any problems just call ok?" I place my hand up and behind my head smiling rather nervous "Thanks, this is Hao so you will hear from me soon I bet" I laugh soft as did she, it was nice to meet such a pleasant women. She bow slightly and said her good byes, as she left I let out a long drawn signed looking once again over at the unaware little demon. I stretch my arms over my head and yawn loud, I don't think I'm getting much sleep any time soon.
