A/N: I took your advice from the last chapters reviews and I have made slight changes. Hope this is better.
Chapter 2. The truth for the sleeping.
Ren woke up happy for once, he had lain in bed until 8 o'clock, which was strange since the blue-haired shaman's snoring would have woken him at 4 or 5 in the morning. However… today, there was no snoring, nor even the sound of heavy breathing. He looked over to see the boy he had just that night humiliated… he wasn't there. He wounded if he had gotten up early. Truthfully he didn't really know why he cared. He woke himself up fully and dressed, making sure that no one else would be awake. He started searching their 'house', finding nothing but a few of Horohoro's bandannas. He sat down and sighed. "Maybe the idiot slept outside again…" Ren started to remember images of finding the other shaman asleep on a bench after Faust had threatened him with pliers. He sighed to himself, "Why am I even bothering?" He walked outside to sit under one of the large trees. He relaxed slightly hearing only birds faintly singing. He looked around himself expecting to see only the house, only to find he was looking at a black lump on the floor. He became more curious and walked over to it, though as he got closer he saw more features. Blue hair… open jacket… A pool of blood surrounding his head. "Horohoro!" Ren yelled as he ran up to him. He kneeled down looking up seeing only the roof of the house. "You… didn't… you wouldn't! Horohoro wake up!" Thoughts of Horohoro committing suicide rushed through his head, thoughts of guilt, jumping because of what he did. He put his hand on the unconscious boys chest, checking for breathing. Which to his relief he was, but just. He ran back inside yelling at the top of his voice for someone. Faust ran downstairs with a dressing gown on, both ran outside and Faust instantly phoned the hospital. No one knew what had happened, all Ren knew was that he wanted to be there, there in the ambulance and there when Horohoro woke up.
Horohoro stirred in his unconscious sleep, causing Ren to jump to attention. "Horohoro?" he whispered to himself, hoping the other shaman would hear him. However there was no prevail, Horohoro was in too deep a sleep to awake right now. Ren remembered the doctors talking about how serious the injury was, how sometimes people never woke up. Faust kept saying he would wake up, but Ren knew it was just to make him have hope, hope which was somewhat quickly fading each hour. The Chinese Shaman held his head in his hands and began to cry, tears of hatred for himself. "Why was I so cruel? Why didn't I just admit it?" He whispered for only himself and Horohoro to hear, questions that he didn't truly know the answers to. "Please… please wake up…" He whispered more desperately. "Keep asking him, they say he might hear you…" Yoh's calm voice swept over the room, making Ren quickly wipe the tears away. Yoh smiled slightly in a sincere way. "If he could hear me he would be trying to kill me…" Ren's face and voice were both full of sadness and pain. Yoh frowned a little, "Ren you can't blame yourself for this! He slipped! Faust told us he used to go up there all the time." Ren's face went angry, "Did Faust say he ever slipped? Did Faust say he went up there when he was depressed! He jumped Yoh! Because of me!" He slammed his feet on the floor as he stood up clenching his fists. "I don't see why you are blaming yourself! You didn't do anything!" Yoh took a step back as he said these words sure he was right. Ren suddenly grabbed the nearest object at Yoh before almost screaming, "I might as well of told him to jump! Horohoro told me how he felt and I rejected him! I told him he was nothing! I told him he disgusted me!" He then fell to his knees, holding his head and crying to himself. Yoh was horrified, Horohoro had told him how he had felt about Ren, they had talked about if for hours some nights, he couldn't help but feel anger at Ren for what he had done, but then again, he felt sorry for him, he knew Horohoro would never do such a thing as to end his life. "Ren…" He said after a sort silence, "It will be alright…" He stepped closer to the other shaman still whimpering and crying on the floor. "Ren listen to me…" He said again softly, as he stepped closer Ren's words became clearer to him, "I lied to him… I wanted to hide it…" Now, Yoh, being the person he is, didn't understand how you could say one thing, and actually mean another, therefore he didn't understand why Ren never told the blue-haired shaman. "Ren you can still tell him." He said calmly whilst kneeling beside him. The Chinese Shaman however just shook his head and cried out more, hoping Horohoro would hear him, like yesterday. Yoh sighed and stood up, leaving the Ren to cry in peace, knowing it was the only way.
A/N: Well don't worry, Yoh is right, Ren will get a chance to tell him Anyway, tell me what you think,
