Acceptance
"Guys…" said Yoh as he walked back into the kitchen, shaking his head. Horo Horo looked at Yoh like he was insane.
"What was that about?" yelled Horo Horo.
"What was what about?" asked Yoh innocently.
"I think you know." Said Anna darkly. Yoh sat down and sighed.
"You didn't see him. He was different back at the cemetery. I'm pretty sure he just put on an act a little while ago." Explained Yoh. "I don't know… Well, from what I do know, the only semi-close companions he's ever had in all his lives were the Hanagumi girls and especially that kid that followed him."
Yoh then went into great detail about finding Hao by accident at the cemetery. Anna was in deep thought, Pirika had fallen asleep, as had Ryu, Manta, and Tamao. Ren and Horo Horo had paid attention, but didn't believe it.
Back to Anna, she couldn't believe it, but she actually felt sorry for Hao. He had had no one in his first, what, three previous lives? And then he actually has someone, actually falls in love, and then everything is ripped away, just like that. And the fact was, he never was evil. Just looked at the world from a different perspective, and was hated for it.
"Whatever…" scoffed Horo Horo. Ren crossed his arms.
"I'm going to bed. Good night." He stood up, delivered his plates unceremoniously at the sink, and walked away. Horo Horo followed suite and met up with Ren at the bottom of the stairs.
"Okay, so we go spy on Hao?" said Horo Horo.
"No. Just check up on him, make sure he isn't plotting anything." Said Ren coldly.
"Okay… Same thing really…" said Horo Horo darkly as the two headed up the stairs. However, Kouki and Zenki saw them and the spirits floated to their mistress.
"Mistress Anna! Horokeu and Ren are planning to disrupt the slumber of the elder Asakura twin!" exclaimed Kouki frantically.
"Yes Mistress Anna! Horokeu and Ren are going to disrupt our former master!" added Zenki.
"I'll go…" said Yoh, standing up and walked after Horo Horo and Ren.
Horo Horo and Ren tiptoed to Hao's room, and slowly opened the door, just a crack. They blinked at what they saw, and walked slowly away and back down to the kitchen, where they met Yoh at the bottom of the stairs.
"What were you doing?" asked Yoh annoyedly as they walked back to the kitchen.
"We were spying on your brother, but when we saw him…" Horo Horo trailed off.
"Saw him what?" questioned Yoh.
"The fool was talking to a pumpkin…" muttered Ren as he shook his head. "I'm not worried about him anymore. He has gone mad."
"Really…" said Yoh slowly. If Hao was going to be like this, all alone on the streets… Yoh would have to talk to him in the morning…
Well? What do you think folks?
