A Twin Indeed

The plane land on the airport, they fly with zeruel and land on Mesa Veldede, they can only walk now. Yoh walk calmly ahead of everyone, he is well aware that everyone think of him as a leader, so he can't act like a child and make his decision wisely.

"You look a lot more calmer and relax now, Yoh-kun." Lyserg commented as they walk around the town of Mesa Veldede, "What is it that make you calm?".

Yoh look at Lyserg and smile, "It's a secret." Yoh said cheerfully and look at the sky, "I can only tell you that I finally get something that make me calm and not stress out again".

He look at Lyserg and smile a lazy smile, "Let's go." He said and walk faster, eager to meet his friends there, Silva and Kalim.

As Yoh and the rest walk through the forbidden area, the X-Laws get on their way, "Stop right there, evil one!" a blonde with a glassess shout.

"Who is evil one? Me? Or you?" Yoh ask calmly and continue walking, "Have you think what you have done all this time?".

"We are doing what we have to do for justice." the blonde said with a mocking tone, "You will end here, Asakura Yoh".

Yoh smile at that, "I don't think so, since the only one that can fight me now only Hao and Phantom." Yoh answers calmly and move the guy's gun aside, "Please don't force me to fight you, Marco".

"Do you think I will let you pass, Asakura Yoh?" Marco growl and snap his finger, "Attack!" all at once, the X-Laws shot their gun at Yoh.

"Yoh attacked by X-Laws." Silva said ah he enter the house Hao is staying, or Phantom is staying.

"I know." Hao said calmly as he looking at the window with a confident smile, he remove his scarf from his neck, "I can feel X-Laws furyoku clashed with Yoh".

"Say, Phantom, do you think it's alright no go to Yoh's place and protect him?" Silva ask as Hao remove his working clothes and wear Asakura Hao's attire, "Why are you wearing those? Are you going to protect Yoh as Hao?".

"Nope." Hao said calmly, "Yoh can handle X-Laws by himself now, since he said that he is relaxing because I won't disappear from his life anymore, such a cute brother I have." Hao chuckles and wear his wig, "I have something to do as Hao".

He said and walk out of the house, his earrings glimmer for a bit from the sunset, he has a confident eyes and a smirk on his face.

Yoh jump back to evade their attack, "Yoh!" Ren yelled as he and the other get their Oversoul ready.

"Don't worry, guys." Yoh said calmly, "I'm not that weak stress out Yoh anymore, I can protect myself".

Yoh look at Marco and stare seriously, "Well, it's not good for me to always trouble Phantom by letting him fight while I do nothing." Yoh lift his hand and Harusame, "Amidamaru, hitodama mode." Amidamaru appear and become a spirit ball, "Hyoui Gattai in Harusame".

Yoh form a small Oversoul and evade another attack from Marco's angel, Michael, he jump and with an ease swing he cut through Michael. But the fight didn't end at that, Marco's furyoku increased from last time after all, so Yoh has to evade his attack right away, not to mention the other angels attack him too.

Yoh get caught by the attack once but that's already normal for him to get caught by an attack once or twice in close range combat style like him. Yoh actually enjoy this fight, he has not fight with clear mind all this time, he even lost in a spar and got slapped by Anna as punishment.

But not again, he thought when he jump and cut Michael in half and move to attack the others angel, "Wow, Phantom's hell training is really have some fruit." Yoh said happily when he win against the X-Laws alone.

"Yo, you sure are so strong, Yoh-kun." Faust said with a sweat drop.

"Very different from this past months." Anna commented, then smirk, "You really are strong when you stay calm, huh".

A certain woman with long grey and straight hair and her group arrive just outside of Mesa Veldede, she look up, her eyes widened, "Oh, hello there." She said in surprise, "I never expected that you will welcome me alone here, Hao Asakura".

There's a murmur answering her words, they make their Oversoul right away and attack Hao who stand on a high building of Mesa Veldede. Hao smile at the woman, then in a flash, a few people of her group jump to the front of him.

"What do you want with Sati-sama?!" ask one of them but while attacking.

Hao smile again and make his way to Sati leisurely while evading their attack, "Hello there, Sati, is it?" Hao asks calmly, there's no malice in his voice.

Sati look at him calmly and nod, "Can I ask why are you here? I hear news that you are dead because your twin attack, I wasn't able to attend the tournament before." She said with utmost calmness.

"No, I'm not dead, nearly though." Hao answers calmly, "You are Gandhara, right?".

Sati nod again, her face turn serious, "I hear much about you, so if you are here to ask if I want to join you, you can back off." She said sternly.

Hao blink, "Join me in what? He ask looking confused, "I just want to ask you since I hear you are expert in tracking vampires, so I come here to ask if it's really true".

Sati blinked, she stare at Hao for a long moment, causing Hao to stare back and confused even more, "Huh?" was the only response he get.

"Yoh." Ren come to Yoh's front, "Why didn't you use Futsu no Mitama no Tsurugi?" he look at Yoh sharply.

Yoh look at Ren blankly, then he feel his pocket that tied to his pants, he blinked, "Oops." He said and look at his empty pocket, "Seems like I forget to bring it along".

Ren's tongari become longer in anger, "What do you say?!" he yelled.

"What?" Hao blinks at the response he got.

"Hao-sama." Matamune tug his cloak, Hao look down to his cat spirit, Matamune look at him with sharp eyes, "Hao-sama".

Understanding down to Hao's eyes, he cough once and look at Sati with expressionless face, "I come here only to ask if the news is true, Sati from Gandhara." Hao said calmly, he forget that he is not Phantom, his Hao Asakura image is a cold heartless murderer after all, of course Sati would get shock if she saw him looked perplexed.

Matamune disappear again after that, Hao look at Sati and raise an eyebrow, "So, is that true?".

Sati's shock face turn back to serious, "And what if it's true?" she asks calmly.

Hao smirk, "Then I would like you to track down this vampire organization called Rogue, can you?" he asks arrogantly.

Then there's a small rock hit his head, "Ow!" Hao yelped.

"Ow!" Yoh yelped when Ren hit his head, he look at Ren confusedly and look a bit irritated too.

Hao turned to see the one who throw the rock to him, he look irritated at Silva, who still have one more stone in his hand.

Even with far distance, Yoh and Hao asks at the same time with the same expression, "What was that for?!".

"That's for forgetting something so important, you moron." Ren said with a huff.

Yoh pout, "It's not my fault." Yoh protests, "Who is it that want me to hurry up in the first place?" his expression look so childish.

Anna sigh, "Well, we don't have a choice then, we will ask Phantom to take it later. Now, just continue the walk." Anna said with commanding tone.

"That's for forgetting your manner, you stupid." Silva scold him in similar words like Ren to Yoh.

"Shut up." Hao said with a pout, "I try to look cool and here you are, making me look so childish".

"That's because you are childish." Silva said as he fly with Silver Wing to Hao's place, "She is Gandhara, not X-Laws, stop the act and ask nicely." Silva pinch both of Hao's cheek, "What a childish ancestor I have here?".

"Stop it, Silva!" Hao get himself off of Silva, "Don't treat me like a baby!" he said that but his face is stil with a pout.

"Umm." Sati raise her hand to interfere, "Can I ask why is it the infamous Hao Asakura didn't seems as bad as the rumor says?" she ask with a sweat drop.

Hao clear his throat, "I correct myself, Sati, can you help me and track down the vampire organization called Rogue?" Hao ask with serious face but blush slightly.

Sati blinks again, then turn serious too, "Why do you want to track those bunch?" she asks, "You want to ask them to help you?".

Hao scowling, "I will eliminate them for attacking Yoh." He said angrily, earning a smack from Silva again, "What was that for again?".

"Didn't you promise Yoh not to kill anyone anymore?" Silva ask coldly.

"Vampires no human, and they also a killer, what's wrong then?" Hao asks with a huff, "If I kill them, then they can't attack Yoh or any human anymore, right? What's wrong in that?".

Silva look at Hao seriously, "Weren't you the same?" he ask sternly, "In the past, you like them too, what if this group only being led by one that is so strong until they didn't have a choice but to follow? Like your followers in the past?".

Hao flinch and look down, "You are. . . right." he said softly, "I'm the same, then I have to disappear too." Hao become gloomy again.

Silva flinch, "Wait there, I said before that you can change." Silva said in panic, "Hao, you-" Hao raised his hand to make him stop.

"Sorry." He said gloomy and turn, "I will change, my time to play around is ended, Phantom have to meet up with Yoh".

Silva caught his hand and punch him on the face, "Don't run from your problem." He growled at the shocked expression Hao gave him, "If you want to be Yoh's big brother, then face your problem without running and get over that depression".

Hao look at Silva for a long time, he blink a few time and slap himself, "You are right." Hao said with a smile, "If I want to be Yoh's big brother, then I can't be this weak and run away from my past. Yoh is in need of protection after all".

Silva smile and sigh, "Then let's talk and explain everything to them." Silva pointed at the petrified Gandhara, they turn into white stone since the time Hao become gloomy.
