Chapter 6: Ufuro

Both twins stuggled to take off some of Hao's clothing. Yes, hail Hao's great body! Ahem. Moving on.

Yoh: Who in the world gave you this outfit? Its so complicated.

Hao: I think the legos were given by Buroken. Since he was the first person I met after I made a disaster when we were born.

Yoh: Who's Broken?

Hao: Bu-ro-ken. And he is the lego guy.

Yoh: How did you meet him?

Hao: I was just walking around. Then I found a blanket with stars on it. I kept it. Then used it until I was 2 years old.

Yoh: After that you used this mantle you have now?

Hao: Yeah. I sew it all by myself.

Yoh: Where did you get the cloth?

Hao: That was the funny part. I threatened someone for me to get it. That is my way. I get everything whether they like it, or like it.

Yoh just sweat dropped. It was also fun to talk to someone who is close to you. It feels more comfortable because, whether you guys do not believe it. Yoh feels that he trusts his older brother already. Hao has been so secretive all around his life. He rarely showed so much emotion in front of others. If he did, people will think that he is weak. So, Hao needs a strong reputation, so that other people won't learn to mess around with him.

That is only in the Shaman World.

Few humans know about this Asakura Hao. And they don't know so much about him. They just consider him a person who kills alot, but the're not threatened.

After a few moments of Yoh taking of Hao's four star belts. (1) Around his waist. (2) At his pants. The green or blue one. (3) On Hao's red or burgundy pants. (4) Like the third one, but its the longest and its below the third one.

Yoh placed them aside. Its time for the pants. Oh great...

Yoh: How do you remove your red pants?

Hao: That's easy.

Of course, Hao did this alot of times already. I mean the pants. Like taking a bath. Wearing other clothes. Going to the restroom.

Hao did unclasp his red pants. His hands were so quick, Yoh's eyes can't even watch it. Then before you know it, the red pants fell from Hao. It was in top of his feet. Hao removed it with his hands and handed it over to Yoh. Yoh put it to the side with the mantle in it and the star belts.

Next. Hao's shoes. You know why? His first pair of pants were something like Yoh's. Except it was in the shade of a darker green. It was tight, letting you guys know. So he need to take off his shoes first then his pants.

Hao: I'll just do this myself. Thank you.

Hao removed the lego like block off his foot which is on the toes, then the block at his ankles. He took of the dark red sock like thing. He did the same with his left foot. He gave it to Yoh. Yoh put it to the side with his other clothing.

Yoh: I never thought that I was as thin as you.

Hao: I never knew because I can't see. Well, if I know the special powers that the blindfold has, like what the Itako told me. I might be able to something about it.

Yoh: Sou. Be optimistic, that is what I mostly am.

Hao: Well. I have to take of my pants right? Yes I should.

Hao took of his tight pants and handed them over to Yoh. Yoh folded them neatly and placed all of his other clothing in a neat pile. Yoh also took off his clothing and put them in another neat pile. Yoh lend Hao a towel and he got his own. The twins wrapped it in their lower part.

The twins went out of the door. Hao felt the step of the door to the hallway. He tugged on Yoh's arm.

Yoh: Why?

Hao: You expect me to go down with no clothing?

Yoh: It's okay. Anna won't care. She won't look around. Her eyes are stuck to the television. So it's okay.

Hao: ...

Hao read Yoh's mind and he heard Yoh think.

"Maybe Aniki isn't used to these stuff. He always was alone from what I remember. I hope that Aniki won't mind so much about staying here. I want to know more about nii-san."

Hao felt selfish at that time. His older brother was already letting him stay here. He was not accepting it. Hao also wanted the same thing with his brother.

Trust.

Hao never trusted anyone with all of his life. He was betrayed.

Yoh and Hao went down the stairs. Yoh carefully led Hao down the stairs and into the hot spring.

Yoh got himself and Hao a basket to put their other things in.

Yoh gave Hao the other basket.

Yoh: Here Aniki. You can put your underwear and your earphones here.

Hao: Thank you Otouto.

Both twins take off their underwear and Yoh removed his headphones, while Hao removed his earrings. Yoh put the two baskets in the shelf with the number 12 and 13.

Yoh pulled Hao's hand into the Onsen.

Hao felt the hot atmosphere in the air. The echo of the water. The misty feeling. It was the Onsen.

Yoh: Aniki. Ofuro yaru?

Hao: Hai.

Yoh led Hao into one of the bath.

Yoh: Here Aniki. 47 degrees.

Hao: Thank you Yoh.

Hao dips his right leg slowly into the steaming hot water. Then his other leg. He slowly tried to sit down on the floor of the bath. The water was until his the middle of his chest and neck.

Yoh also went into the hot water.

Both twins sighed and relaxed. The onsen has this relaxing effect to people. It felt comfortable.

Hao closed his eyes and sighed. He laid his head on the rocks at the side.

Yoh just stared at his brother. He was happy to see that Hao was relaxed, he got a tireful day.

Hao whistled a little tune. Yoh listened to it.

Hao whistled the tone of what his first mother sang to him when he was a baby. The tone was wasy to remember. To let him remember it, he whistled it alot of times. His first mother was the first person to ever care for him.

Yoh liked the tune his brother was whistling. It sounded comforting... It's like a lullaby... It relaxed both of the twins... After a few seconds, Hao stopped. Yoh looked at him with curiousity. Why did Hao stop whistiling?

From the door of the Onsen, there came in was the Ainu and the Tao.

Ah... not again... Peace is gone...How sad...

The Ainu and the Tao went to the bath where Hao and Yoh was.

Horo: Hey you two! Lookin' well!

Ren just smacked Horo into the water, causing a small tsunami in the bath.

Hao was not affected to much though. Yoh was just laughing and pointing at Horo, who was getting up from the water.

Ren just showed a small triumphant smile of victory, for once again, he won from the Ainu baka.

After a few moments of fun. The Ainu and Tao sat down in the bath. Peace was back again. Thank you God.

Everyone's eyes were closed. They were thinking their own thoughts.

Ren: Yoh.

Yoh opened his eyes and looked at Ren.

Yoh: Hai?

Ren: Tomorrow is Monday. Just reminding you.

Yoh: It is? So I gotta sleep early.

Hao who was startled by this unusual conversation, asked.

Hao: What is so special tomorrow?

Horo: Yoh has school. Every weekdays.

Hao: Otouto is going to school?

Ren: Yes he is. Why are you asking?

Hao: Oh, just nothing Tao Ren.

Hao stood up from the water, everyone looked at him.

Ren: Why did you stand up?

Hao: I thought Yoh-kun has school here tomorrow. He needs to sleep early.

Yoh: Oh right.

Yoh stood up and led Hao back to the room of their clothing.

The Ainu and the Tao just looked at the twins walking to the door.

After a few seconds of them gone, the Ainu and the Tao looked at each other.

Horo: Ren?

Ren: Nandayo kisama.

Horo: Do you notice any difference from Hao?

Ren: Why should I care? He stays with us now. Why are you asking anyway?

Horo: Nothing. I just wanna know your opinion.

At the room...

Yoh got two towels and yukatas from the shelf. He handed Hao one towel.

Hao: Thanks.

Yoh: Welcome.

Hao dried himself up with the towel. Yoh handed him the yukata.

Hao wore the yukata, making sure its left over right, and tied it around him. He took a long fabric from Yoh and wore it around his waist. And tied it.

Yoh did the same thing with his yukata.

Hao just wrapped the towel to his hair to let it dry up.

Yoh: Hao, why do you have long hair.

Hao: Dunno, its just suits me better. It makes me unique and different from the other boys, like you.

Yoh: Me? How come? We're just from the same body.

Hao: Uh... um... Its kinda hard to explain the kinds of twins like us, ne? Even I couldn't explain it. Just think about it.

Yoh: ... Aniki, why do you like stars? I mean, "obsessed" with stars?

Hao heard a different tone for obsessed. It was kind of an insult. True, he's obsessed with stars, but not THAT much... Well, who knows...

Hao: Why did you ask questions suddenly?

Yoh: Wanna know more about you, I guess.

Hao: Why don't I explain this tomorrow or maybe some time. I don't want to tell you anything about it now since it might bother you tomorrow in school.

Yoh pouted. He didn't want any secrets away from him. Oh well. Yoh can't force him now? Anyway, Yoh will know more about Hao after their times together.

Both twins got their things and went upstairs into the room.

They passed through the living room. Anna wasn't there anymore. It means that she is sleeping. Good...

For Yoh, letting Hao go through the stairs is difficult. Yoh has to be careful in order not to let Hao trip or fall. After the stairs were passed. They went to Yoh's room. Yoh got a basket and put both of their underwear there.

Yoh went to the closet and got 2 pairs of boxers.

Yoh handed Hao one.

Hao got it and wore it. He fixed his yukata once more.

Both twins laid on the bed. Yoh turned the alarm on for tomorrow. It was set for 5:30 a.m. He also placed Hao's blindfold in the corner of the bed.

Yoh: Nii-san, I placed your blindfold on the corner near the clock okay?

Hao: Hmm...

Yoh: Oyasumi, Aniki.

Hao : Oyanmi...

Yoh pulled the blanket over Hao and himself.

Yoh was fortunate. He was glad to see his older brother alive. Safe. Except he was blind.

What was the cause of his blindness?

Oh well. Hao was right, Yoh needs to sleep early for tomorrow, since tomorrow is Yoh's school day.
