Traitors, second chances and love

Author's Note: Ok. I know that this fic isn't all that popular and I'm even getting the feeling that it might be because Matammune is in the fic. I swear it's not my fault. Anyways, in this chapter Matamune and Yoh are alone in Yoh's room and Matamune explains. Read & Review!

Disclaimer: -shakes head-Nope. Not mine.

Chapter 4: Please help

Matamune shifted uneasily. He was now inside the Asakure house, inside Yoh's room. He scratched his ears as Yoh sat down in front of him.

"So..." Yoh began uneasily, looking at the small cat. "You said someone needed me..."

"That's right." said Matamune with a small nod. "To be quite precise..." he paused for a moment. "Hao-sama needs you."

Yoh blinked a few times. Hao needed him? But wasn't Hao dead?

Matamune, even thoughhe couldn't read minds, knew what Yoh was thinking. He shook his head with a small laugh. "I know what you're thinking..." he said looking at his small furry paws. "But Hao-sama is alive."

Yoh still looked shocked as he looked at Matamune. Could this little furball be telling the truth? And if yes, what did Hao need him for?

"Hao doesn't need me. He needs my soul." said Yoh looking away.

Matamune was shocked. "Please Yoh-sama! He doesn't want your soul!"

"Then what does he want?"

Matamune looked down thoughtfully. "I'm not sure. But I do know that it is not your soul he wants. There was no malice in his voice when he told me to fetch you."

Yoh thought it over for a minute. "I'm not sure I should..."

"Please Yoh-sama!" Matamune begged. "I've heard that you are a truly kind and gentle soul! Please, show that kind gentle side, even to your enemy! Hao-sama is badly hurt and is most likely going to die soon. I did not want to tell him that but... it's true. I believe that him asking for your presence is like a last wish. Please, even though he is your enemy, be considerate?"

Yoh remained silent. Hao was dieing... and he wanted to see him... but why? Yoh gulped a little and looked at Matamune.

"Please help?" asked Matamune in a small voice.

What else could Yoh say? For crying out loud this was Yoh we were talking about. Yoh could help anyone... even Hao. And since Hao was Yoh's older brother, the urge to help him was larger than normal. Hao's last wish was to have Yoh for some unknown reason. Well, it couldn't hurt to go... could it? Yoh looked at Matamune and nodded.

Relief swept over the feline as he motioned to Yoh to follow him.

A/N: Hmmmmmmmm... not bad eh? Lol. Ummmmm yeah. Don't expect a quick update. Now I gotta write the lemon. Read & Review!
