Chapter 10: To heal a broken heart
Jun opened her eyes and found herself laying on a bed, Ren taking care of her beside.
"Ren"
"Jun, are you ok? The doctor told me you'll get better"
"What happened?"
Ren lowered his head. He remembered that moment again, when Hao just stood there, emotionless while Ren left. He couldn't believe Hao had tried to murder his sister.
"I remember." Jun spoke finally. "Hao was there, wasn't he?"
"Jun.I.I'm sorry. I brought Hao to the mall.I thought I could change him but now."
"He is not a bad person"
"What?"
"The salesman was messing up with a kitty, Hao got angry.everybody has errors Ren, you too, your error was leaving him alone, I know he didn't do anything good, but he still needs you, brother.and you still love him"
"How do you.?"
"I'm your sister, now go to him; he still loves you too, and imagine if he starts to hate you.he'll destroy the entire world!"
Ren looked at his sister in bewilderment, she was so right. Ren still loved Hao so much. he really didn't want to accept the idea of losing him. Without saying anything else, Ren dashed out the room, out the hospital until he reached the forest.
"Hao! Hao where are you?!"
No response.
"Hao, I need to see you!"
Just his echo responded back. Ren lowered his head, he wasn't giving up so easily. He ran to Yoh`s house.
"Yoh! I need your help!"
Anna received Ren unenthusiastically "I thought you were with Jun"
"I need to see Yoh"
"What for?"
"Please"
"He is finishing his chores in the bathroom"
Ren walked to the bathroom, were Yoh was washing the floor.
"Yoh!"
"Am I glad to see you? Could you give me a hand over here? Oh, how is Jun?"
"She is all right. do you know where can I find Hao?"
Yoh looked strangely at Ren. "Why are you asking me that?"
"I need to see him immediately, it's an emergency"
"Are you.entering Hoshigumi?"
"No Yoh, is just.I. screamed at him, and need to apologize."
Yoh looked confused at Ren. He didn't understand the situation quite well.
".because I love him!" finished Ren, reveling his deepest secret.
Yoh looked amazed at Ren, who sweated as he blushed. Hao's twin wasn't expecting such a thing.
"I really don't know where my brother is. he just appears like that."
"Oh damn I need to find him"
"How does everything started?"
"It's a long story."
"Ok then, search for him, but you take care now."
Ren nodded and dashed outside, trying to search for his lost love, not knowing where to start. ***************************************************************************
Hao sat alone in a rock. He stared at the fire, trying to erase Ren's face, but couldn't. It was the greatest pain he was feeling, the same pain Matamune gave him when he betrayed Hao. Hao was crying, he hated to cry, he rarely cry, but couldn't hold his tears, in every tear dropped an image of Ren was reflected. He also saw in the falling tears his happiness collapsing, his dreams vanishing, his heart sinking into a deeper pain. "I can't really trust anyone can I?" he whispered between tears "but it was my fault, I almost killed his sister.and he.he.don't want to see my face again.now I'm a monster.a freak for him.for the only person whose eyes gave me the love and care I desired for so long."
"Stop blaming yourself!" scolded Nicrome interrupting Hao's reflections. Hao turned to look at Nicrome, he didn't like to be accompanied when he was crying, even the fire spirit understood that.
"And you stop spying me"
"Come on Hao-sama, you have more important things to do, don't let an asshole like him hurt you like this!"
"He is not an asshole!"
"Then why did he leave you like this? Lost and crying, like if he didn't even give a fuck about you? He doesn't love you!"
Hao couldn't bear anymore; he covered his face with both hands and sobbed. Nicrome stepped more closer to Hao, and placed his hand around him.
"I love you, my angel, I swear, if you just give me an opportunity."
"Trying to take advantage when I am feeling vulnerable?"
"Don't take it like that! I'll love you more than he did, I'll give you everything he didn't, I'll treat you like the god you are!"
Hao felt so vulnerable, he couldn't do anything, his hands started trembling, he embraced himself and tried to evade Nicrome's piercing gaze.
"Hao, please trust me! I'll make sure you forget that guy"
"Leave Ren alone! I don't want you to put a single finger on him!"
"And do you think Ren would react like this if Yoh wants to destroy you? No, he'll even work with him to finish you, my dear, and you'll just get more hurt than you are right now"
Hao was shaking now, Nicrome hugged Hao tightly, Hao didn't oppose. The black-eyed boy just let Nicrome place his warm arms around him. He needed some support.
-Nicrome's chest is warm.but Ren's was more-
Nicrome passed his hand gently over and over Hao's face, rubbing his cheek. Hao closed his eyes while Nicrome consoled him, wanting to forget about those beautiful golden eyes, which once told him they love Hao more than anyone else had ever done, they cared for him, and they would be always there for him. Hao also remembered what he wanted as birthday present: "I'm so glad, I don't need anything but you"; but alas, it wasn't possible.
Nicrome looked at Hao, who was sleeping over his shoulder.
"I didn't mean to hurt you that much my love.but it was the only way to have you" he thought and leaned trying to kiss Hao again. His lips got closer and closer to Hao's, they were almost touching Hao's. almost.more closer.and closer. ***********************************************************************
Ren returned to his sakura garden, hoping to find Hao again, instead he found the fire spirit, taking a nap (O_O). "Hao must be around here" Ren thought happily and headed to the big spirit. "Um, Fire spirit? Sorry to wake ya up, but it's an emergency I need to see Hao right now"
The fire spirit turned to see Ren, he knew Ren was the cause of Hao's sadness, but couldn't kill him for Hao's orders were to protect his Chinese lover. Instead, the spirit flew away, ignoring Ren. "Hey didn't you listen to me! Where are you going?! Oh fine! Be like that!" Ren ran after the fire spirit trying to catch up with him, but it was vain. Ren just followed the track left by the fire spirit, his hope was high, wishing to see Hao again, to settle everything again, to love him again.
Jun opened her eyes and found herself laying on a bed, Ren taking care of her beside.
