A/N: Lots of reviews for the first chapter! I feel so loved…^__^ I'd like to thank everyone who reviewed, you guys really made me happy! You're all so great!*Huggles you all*

Disclaimer:*Sigh* If I owned Shaman King, would I be sitting here, typing fanfiction, and obsessing over Gravitation manga? Well, maybe I'd still be obsessing over Gravitation, but…Well, anyway, I don't own Shaman King. What a shock.

Chapter 2: Holidays

**********

            "HAO…" Yoh whined, "Give me back my headphones!"

            "Nope," Hao said, twirling the said headphones on one finger, "Not 'til I get something in return." He smiled wickedly.

Yoh had very few options left. He decided to try the guilt trip.

"I can't believe you'd hold my, your adorable, sweet, caring little brother who loves you oh-so-very-much, MY headphones hostage!" Yoh pouted, using his best puppy-dog look.

            "Not falling for it!" Hao sang out.

            Yoh pouted more. Then slowly, a plan began to piece it's self together in his mind. He grinned. Oh, revenge was sweet.

He waited until Hao wasn't paying attention, creeping forward slowly and silently, so as not to alert his brother to his intentions.

Finally, he was close enough to put his plan into action.

            "HYAAH!" He jumped on to his brother's back, sending them both sprawling to the ground.

Yoh grinned down at Hao from his place above his twin. "Now, can I have my headphones back?"

Unfortunately for Yoh, Hao was smirking evilly. Whenever Hao smirked evilly, it meant he had a plan. These said plans were never good for Yoh.

Yoh felt arms encircle him, and pull him down next to Hao. Hao quickly took this opportunity to roll on top of Yoh, pinning the younger Asakura twin to the ground.

"Now," Hao smiled down at Yoh. "Who has won this little battle?"

"You have," Yoh pouted. "But, don't I get a consolation prize?"

"I suppose I could grant that…" Hao murmured, closing the distance between himself and Yoh and pressing his lips against the younger shaman's.

When they broke apart, Yoh blinked up at Hao, "I meant my headphones, you know."

"You really should make yourself clearer then, my dear." Hao smirked, capturing the others lips with his again and sliding one hand into Yoh's shirt. Hao parted Yoh's lips, flicking his tongue over the other brunette's.

"Would you two PLEASE get a room?" Asked the annoyed voice of Tao Ren.

The twins broke apart to see an irritated Ren, and a grinning HoroHoro, who surveyed the two's positions on the ground with a raised eyebrow.

Yoh grinned sheepishly, blushing and Hao shrugged.

"Does a person honestly need to come home to see that in their living room?" Ren sighed.

Slowly, Yoh's face broke into a mischievous grin. "Mistletoe," He said, pointing above Ren and Horo's heads. The two hadn't moved from the doorway, and obviously had forgotten about the sprig hung up there.

"GYAH!" The Chinese and Ainu yelped, jumping away from each other.

"You know the rules about mistletoe…" Yoh continued.

Hao had that evil grin on his face again as he stared at the two blushing boys, "This ought to be good!"

The pyro shaman let out a small yelp, hiding behind Yoh and demonstrating the true power of Ren's glare.

The Chinese shaman muttered a few curses in a few different languages before placing his hands on Horo's shoulders and pressing his lips against the blue-haired snowboarder's.

After a few moments, he broke away and muttered a few more curses before walking out of the room.

HoroHoro remained in the doorway, his eyes very wide and his face very red.

He was snapped out of his dazed state by the hysterical giggles of the Asakura twins.

"Th-this means nothing!" Horo shouted at the two brunettes.

The twins only continued to laugh so hard they were breathless.

***************

A few hours later, Yoh and HoroHoro stood in the living room of the house the four shared, hanging decorations on the large fir tree that sat in the middle of the room.

Hao and Ren had gone out, realizing that they hadn't bought anything for Yoh and Horo, and attempting to use the last few hours the stores were open to buy gifts.

Yoh giggled as he hung up an ornament, "The look on Hao's face was hysterical!"

"I know! And when Ren realized as well!" Horo laughed. "They practically dragged each other out of the house!"

They both laughed for a moment or so, before falling silent. A melancholy feeling began to seep into the room, as the two shamans let out long sighs.

"All those people who aren't celebrating Christmas…all those families grieving…because of us…" Horo said quietly.

"I know…but, we can't think about that. Let's just be happy and have a nice holiday, okay?" Yoh smiled a sad sort of smile at Horo.

"You're right." The blue-haired boy grinned. But it wasn't a real grin…once again, it didn't reach his eyes, such sorrow filled eyes.

************

Hao and Ren were currently in a music store, browsing the rows of CDs.

"Hmmm…" Hao picked up a CD, flipping it over to look at the back. He took a step back and bumped into someone.

"Oh!" He blinked in surprise spinning around. The person who he had bumped into was a boy about the same age as him with brown hair and lavender eyes.

The boy gasped in surprise, taking a step back from Hao. He let out a small yelp of pain, clutching his head as he shut his eyes tightly.

"Hikaru?" A blue-haired boy about a year older then the Hao ran up to the brown haired one. "Hikaru, are you okay?" The blue haired one looked over at Hao, surveying him with eyes as blue as his hair. The boy blinked, then winced in pain as he began to steer the other boy out of the store. "Terribly sorry about this," he called over his shoulder to Hao.

A blue haired girl ran up to the two boys. "Hey, Azin, what's wrong with Hikaru?"

The blue haired boy, Azin, shook his head at her.

She frowned and looked back at Hao. For a moment, she just stared, then her eyes flashed red and she took a step forward. A small blonde girl of about 11 years appeared next to her, tugging her out of the store the way Azin was leading Hikaru.

The four left and Hao blinked. "I wonder what that was about…"
