The Love Of A Tao

Chapter Two: Escape…?

Up in his room Ren could hear all of the commotion going on downstairs, he sighed, not wanting to know what was going on.

Knowing that he wouldn't be able to get out of the house through the door without Hao seeing him, Ren decided it would be best to climb out of his window.

As he did so, he could see Hao sitting under a tree not far away, poking something that was in a box, then wrapping the entire box in pure pink wrapping paper, which he had most likely stole from the shop down the road since he didn't have any money.

Ren froze, not wanting Hao to see him.

Slowly, he raised himself and leaned over the windowsill crawling back into his room when suddenly a bright spark next to his hand made him jump and let go.

Ren held in a gasp as he fell and gave a tiny shout of surprise when his body collided with the ground… only this ground was soft and warm… this ground was…

…Hao!

"Hi," Hao smiled a loving smile towards the boy he now cradled in his arms, nuzzling him with his cheek.

"Uh- Un-hand me!" Demanded Ren, trying to break loose from the Asakura's grip.

"Aww, poor Renny-kins, don't worry, if you're hurt I'll gladly kiss any wounds better." He grinned.

Ren paled, something he usually did in the presence of Yoh's older brother.

"I SAID LET GO!" He yelled, scrambling out of the fire shaman's arms and storming off down the path.

"Wait!" Called Hao, an arm outstretched, "where are you going?"

"Out!" Yelled Ren, not bothering to look back knowing the fire shaman was still there, his eyes still fixed on him.

"Out?" Asked Hao, still calling after Ren, "any specific place?"

Ren didn't reply, he just continued to storm off, heading towards the city to try and find something to do.

Hao sighed; still standing under the window there he had caught the young Tao.

Wonder why Ren's so pissed, he sighed, what got him wound up in the first place? Oh…I guess that was me… Guess I must of put that tiny fire ball just a little to close to his hand, huh? Oh well, valentines day's coming up soon and I just KNOW Ren's going to love his present!

Hao looked down towards the ground where he had dropped the little pixie-in-a-box, which was now a little tattered and muddy.

"Drat," cursed Hao, "need more paper."

With that Hao scooped up the pink box and, tossing it up in the air and catching it, strolled down the path towards the shop he had previously stolen the paper from.
