By Choctaw-chan
Disclaimer: Shaman King is still not mine. Kipcha (the wolf) is mine
however, no stealing.
Yaoi, don't like, don't read. Simple as that.
A/N: …I'm going to refer to Basil as "Ashil" now, because, before, I'd forgotten what his real name was.
MeeLee- I know, it sounds like "cha-ching" but she's based off my dog. "Cha-chan" Came from one of my friend's nick names. (Cha-Cha-Chan; don't ask…)
Strife-lover- Lee-chan, I'm soooooo sorry. And, Glad you liked the chapter. –clinglatchneverletgo-
Kya-san- glad you like.
DragonStorm85- Thank you. : )
Chonki- Lemon later? If people want me to write one, I will. And of course, I'll give you some help. Just email me.
"Otouto, we aren't here to pick out a gift for your fiancée. Just get the stupid rice, and let's go!" Hao was becoming impatient.
Yoh ignored his brother and continued to look for a necklace that Anna, in the slightest chance, might like. "Onii-chan, come help me choose between this one, this one and this one, onegai."
Hao made his way over to where Yoh was, involuntarily. "It doesn't matter." Hao growled in annoyance. "Just pick one and lets get going!"
The younger twin pouted. "Just help, please?"
The one thousand year old Onmyouji sighed. "Fine, just let's hurry up." Hao looked at the necklaces.
A gold one with an amber jewel on it, in the middle. A silver chain necklace with a large Sapphire in the middle, surrounded by diamonds, or a plain gold necklace, with a soul emerald dangling from a delicate chain, off of it.
"Well?" Asked Yoh.
"She's your fiancée." Hao complained.
"But I need help!"
"The gold one with the emerald." Hao said, quickly turning to leave. He didn't want to go shopping for jewelry for his brother's pushy, and demanding future wife.
Yoh paid the clerk and hurried after his brother. "I think she'll like it." He stated happily with a big grin, plastered on his face.
"Glad to have helped." Hao did not turn to face his brother, nor did even the smallest grin twitch at the corner of his mouth. Yoh frowned. He was sure that Hao would have smiled or looked at him.
"What's wrong?"
The older twin wasn't sure. It was odd. There was this hot, anger-like feeling building up slightly inside him. "Nothing." He decided to answer.
Yoh's frown grew slightly. Something was wrong with Hao. He'd leave the situation alone for now, however.
"Let's go get ice cream, ne?" Yoh grinned again.
"You need to get rice, remember?"
"I've got it already, I bought it with the necklace." Yoh's grin widened. He grabbed Hao's wrist and dragged him off to the ice cream parlor.
Hao groaned. He didn't need to be getting ice cream, and he certainly did not want to baby sit his soon to be overly sugar-high twin.
The older twin just stood stationary in the corner of the shop. No ice cream for him. No.
"Orange Sherbert please!"
Hao rolled his eyes. His little brother even had a word used especially for oranges.
Funga fu fu.
"Onii-chan," Yoh looked over at him with a huge grin plastered over his features. "Come buy some ice cream." The older twin just shook his head 'no'. Yoh frowned. "Why not?"
"I'm just not hungry." Hao replied.
'Mm…Alright Onii-chan." Yoh was sure something was still bothering his brother, but again, he'd drop the issue. It couldn't be that bad. Hao could handle anything. Right…?
The younger brunette turned to face his brother, but noticed he wasn't there, and that he had started to head away from the ice cream shop. Yoh quickly followed after him. "Hao, wait!" He called.
Hao came to a halt and turned three-quarters to the side. He sighed. He did as Yoh wanted, and waited.
Yoh had a sudden urge to tell his brother something, but he wasn't sure if he should or not. It could possibly drive his brother away, and he didn't want that.
-
Ren wasn't sure if Horo could keep his promise. He did love the Ainu back, but he wasn't sure he could give it a try and have it succeed. He always managed to mess a plan up.
Warm fingers slid under his chin, pulling it up slightly to look into azure eyes. "What's wrong Ren?"
"Nothin—"
"Don't lie to me again." The Ainu's voice was stern, but kind at
the same moment. Horo paused when he saw Ren falter, and he looked to the side somewhat. He then frowned. "What did I have to do, to gain your complete trust?" He asked quietly.
Ren paused. "You have it…"
"Then why can't you tell me what's wrong?" Horo then pulled the Chinese boy into a loose, warm hug. "You can tell me anything."
"I…just don't want to be hurt again…" Ren said quietly.
"You know I won't try to hurt you." Horo uttered soothingly. "And I won't leave you, when you need me."
"I know." Ren nodded, his head buried in Horo's chest at this point.
"You know, I want to know the real you." Horo voiced calmly, rubbing rhythmic circles on Ren's back.
Ren paused at his statement, before turning his head to the side, though it continued to remain resting on the Ainu's chest lightly. "You know the real me." Ren muttered.
"I mean like your emotions. I want to know how you feel." Horo's grip on the smaller boy tightened slightly.
"I'm happy, I suppose…"
"I'm glad you're happy, but, when you don't tell me how you're feeling, I don't know if you alright or not. If something's wrong." Horo explained. "If you feel like crying, cry. If you feel like smiling and being happy, smile." He sighed.
The Chinese shaman merely nodded into the bluenette's chest again.
-
The twins had been walking in silence for a while. It was a bit awkward to the older brunette, because his little brother always seemed so hyper, carefree, and you couldn't really get him to shut up when he was in that kind of mood.
Deep in thought, Yoh continued to walk until he tripped over a rock, and pulled Hao with him, down to the ground with a 'thud'.
He pushed himself off the ground, giving his older brother a sheepish grin. "Sorry, Onii-chan."
Hao sat up, rubbing his head. He muttered before confirming to his brother that his blunder was all right. "Don't worry about it."
Yoh stood up, almost immediately tripping over himself again. Stop making a fool of yourself, Yoh… He told reprimanded himself.
Hao frowned. "What's the matter, Otouto?"
"N-nothing." He gave a reassuring grin. Hao didn't buy it.
"Tell me." Hao tried again, to coax it out of his brother.
Yoh wasn't sure if he should tell his twin that he loved him. For all he knew, Hao could think he was annoying, and never want to hang out with him again. But, perhaps he could try Horo-Horo's approach.
Hao leaned back a bit when his twin crawled over him, leaning against his chest, and lightly captured his lips in a gentle, soft kiss.
The older boy was completely taken by surprise. He didn't move, however.
Yoh remained pressed against his older twin's chest, as he looked up at Hao. "I-I love you." He waited eagerly for Hao's reaction.
-
Ren had fallen asleep against the older Ainu boy. Horokeu held him closely, in his arms. He loved Ren. He would protect him. He would do anything to make him safe. He smiled gently at the Chinese boy.
Ren's breaths were light, and short. Horo noted a little bit on the semi-choppiness of it. He stood up, Ren in his arm, and carried the boy to his room.
He gently laid him down on his bed, and pulled the covers up to Ren's chin. He grinned and headed to the kitchen, feet quietly padding the wooden floor.
He'd make something for Ren, for when he woke up.
-
A fleeting half smile played in the older twin's features. "Sou kaa?"
Yoh nodded, face still flushed considerably. "Really."
"A-aishiteru, Yoh."
With those words spoken, Yoh's grip on his brother's mantle tightened; not wanting to let him go. He pulled his brother close to him again, once more locking lips a bit roughly and demanding, but hell, Yoh had wanted to do that for a little while.
Hao twitched slightly.
Yoh blinked in confusion. Oh yeah, his brother wasn't used to being touched, and most likely not in this way. He softened the kiss, to reassure his brother, soon parting.
"Sorry…" Yoh muttered.
"It's all right." Was the reply.
Yoh cuddled into his brother's chest. Letting go of a content sigh, when he felt his brother stroke his hair gently. A light smile played on the younger boy's lips. So, His brother could still love. And Yoh was glad he could.
Ugh, chapters may take a while to write and update, because school is finishing with in the next month, so school is hell for me, and it's affecting my writing. Gah. Please forgive me. X.x
