Summery- "No! Onii-chan! Don't kill him!" Pleaded Yoh, much to his brother's enjoyment.

Disclaimer- Dah. Michi doesn't own anything. Hiroyuki Takei does. Oh! Michi does own Balto the Spider.

"Meanie!

"Baka!

The two were at it again, arguing, and of course, calling each other names. It wasn't unusual for the Asakura twins to do so. After all they were siblings. And siblings fought.. A lot; unless they had some sort of problem. But, that's not the point. Anyways. They were at each other's throats, it seemed, dark, brows eyes narrowed, and their lips curled, ready to hurl out more insults. But, the two were at a stand off, tension growing between the boys who were probably trying to figure out more insults to use. It was quite the scene. Yoh, the one with the headphones and the shorter hair was behind the couch, his hands grasping the arm. And the other, Hao, the one with the longer hair, and earrings, stood on the coffee table, his hands cupped together, as if he held something that could fly away, if there was even the slightest crack.

"Let him go, Hao!" Yoh whined, his eyes wide now, and fearful for whatever was in his elder brother's grasp.

Hao responded by hopping onto the loveseat, away from Yoh. He shook his head stubbornly; eyebrows furrowed and determined to irritate his younger brother all the more. A smirk grew across his face, as he held his cupped and gloved hands up to his face. "Why should I, dear otouto?" He had asked, his voice teasing and very cruel. His eyes glinted in the light, as he leapt off the loveseat, and onto the rocking chair which surprisingly, did not tip over. Again, his eyes met with Yoh's, showing maliciousness and his usual disobedience. "It was going to die, anyways." He began to explain. Yoh hopped forward, his hand outstretched, as if he intended to stop his brother.

"No! Onii-chan! Don't kill him!" Pleaded Yoh, much to his brother's enjoyment.

Hao opened up his cupped hands revealing a spider that he had caught, while he explored the Funbari Inn. It seemed at least half dead, if not already. "You mean Cobalt?" He asked, as he dangled the arachnid from one of it's eight legs, in front of Yoh's face.

"It's Balto, baka!" He cried, before he dove to catch his pet spider.

With that, Hao stuffed the spider into his mouth, and with a loud crunch- he ate Balto in one bite.
