Chapter 11: Another Story
He walked down the empty streets slowly. His deep black eyes looking to the ground as he kicked a rock around.
"He's a brother, nothing more. A family member that I just care about a lot. There's nothing between us, we're just brothers…" Hao said softly to himself.
"Hao-san…" A female voice said softly from the darkness. He stopped in his tracks and turned to the voice.
"What do you want Macchi?" He questioned. She didn't answer. Only footsteps were heard as they became louder.
"What do you want?" He repeated as a hand touched his cheeks tenderly.
"Hao-san…sometimes the right direction is something people can't see." She smiled faintly.
"Enough with our talks. What do you do? Stalk me or something? Just get the hell away from me and stop saying all those shit about love and crap!" He shoved her hand away.
"It's not crap or shit Hao-san," She looked as her hand and slowly brought it down to her side. "It's the truth that you can't handle. You are a weak child."
"Weak?" He questioned threateningly. "I'm not weak." He turned around and started walking again. 'I'm…not…weak…'
---Morning--
"Onii-chan, I'm going over to Horo's place," Yoh said looking over to his other half.
"I don't feel like going," He simply replied and turned his focus back to the television.
"You'll eventually have to come. I mean, Horo and Midori's wedding is going to be in five days, and we have to practice." Yoh sighed softly as he tried to convince his brother.
"I don't even want to be in the wedding, and I don't want to walk down with that damn girl either. Not to mention, I don't think Ren knows about all of this." He turned off the T.V. and stood up to head to the kitchen.
"But Hao, come on." He pleaded.
"Go by yourself if you really want to go that fucking much!" She shouted as he stopped in his tracks realizing what he had just said.
"…onii-chan…" Yoh said softly as his eyes began to water and he turned around. "I'm sorry for bothering you…I'll be home…soon," He said before running out and slamming the door behind him.
"Yoh…" He stood there with his fists balled, slowly shaking from the anger with himself.
"I just don't know what to do anymore. I don't know how to act in front of you, I don't know what to say."
'You're losing touch, with the one and only person that you ever truly loved and cared about. Because of Ren, Horo, Midori…they are occupying his time from you.'
"That's not it…" He held in his tears. "He chooses to be with them, because it makes him happy. There's really no more use for me anymore."
