Chapter 11: Anna is going too!
It was time for everyone to leave already. Hao just stood there, with an emotionless posture. Nil, nada, nothing. Yoh was crying and sniffing in a piece of cloth which came out from nowhere. Hao sweatdropped. He just waved at the three boys who were going to the place they're going for a vacation.
"Too bad Yoh." Hao said. "Why?" Yoh replied.
Suddenly the phone rang. Yoh stood up and frolicked to the phone like a happy little boy. "Moshi Moshi!" Yoh said with a happy voice. "Asakura Yoh desu." After a few seconds. Yoh's happy smile disappeared and removed the phone from his ear. He also did a 'SHH!' sign in front of Hao. "Anna, its for you." Yoh said as he stretched his hand out with the phone. Anna stood up and walked to the the phone. She got the phone from Yoh and put it on her ear. "Anna desu." Anna said on the phone. After a couple of minutes of hearing 'uh-huh' or 'hm-hmm' or maybe 'yes', Anna put down the phone.
Hao and Yoh looked at Anna. She opened her mouth and said, "Yoh-mei-sama and Kino-sama are telling me to go to Osorezan. You two better stay put and keep this house clean until I come back after a week. If you don't, you'll suffer the consequences." She went to her room and got her red bandanna, brown jacket, her itako beads, her red cap and gloves. She stuffed them neatly in her shoulder bag. She went out of her room and straight to the door.
"Be careful Anna." Yoh said and showed a small thumbs up. Anna just looked back and went out of the door and slammed it shut.
"Even the Itako will leave too." Hao just calmly said. Yoh was just walking to the kitchen. Hao cocked his head to one side and watched as Yoh was opening the refrigerator.
Yoh got two oranges and a plastic bag. Since there was nothing to do, it was time to eat. And besides, this was a great opportunity. Yoh will be able to slack off a bit. Well, if Hao wasn't anything like Anna. Yoh still feels unsure whenever Hao was around. Back then, Hao left quite a trauma to Yoh. But who cares now. Yoh walked out of the kitchen and threw one of the oranges to Hao. Hao caught the orange and started to peel the skin off. Yoh sat down at the table with Hao and placed the plastic bag aside. He also started to peel his own orange.
"Even Manta is on vacation... This is so boring..." Yoh said betweens chews of his orange. Hao just continued to eat his orange and spit out the seeds into the plastic bag.
"Ne Otouto..." Hao began. "Nani?" Yoh replied. "Nani atode yaru?" (What are you doing later? What are you going to do?) Hao said as he placed the orange skins and seeds into the plastic bag. "Nandemonai. Tabun... (Nothing... Probably...) My training or training." Yoh sighed as he put his orange skins into his plastic bag.
"It's night time already..." Hao looked over the clock as it was already 7:36. Yoh stood up and started itching himself. He smiled and looked back at Hao with challenged eyes. "Last one in the room is an old fart!" Yoh darted out of the living room. Hao stood up quickly and chased Yoh out of the living room. They both when up the stairs.
Thud. Thud. Thud. Yoh was up the stairs and opened the slide door of his room and went inside and raised both of his arms in the air and performed a macho figure. "AHA! I WON!" He said triumphantly. Hao continued to go up the stairs and darted directly to his right and into the room. Because of to much speed, he failed to stop, causing him to fall over Yoh. Both twins were on the floor of the room. Hao's body was on top of Yoh's. He placed both of his arms on the side and raised up. Yoh and Hao both opened their eyes. Eye contact then silence. Suddenly, a small pinkish color appeared on Yoh's cheeks. The tips of Hao's bangs were on top of Yoh's face.
Hao slowly stood up and went to the bed and sat down. "I.-I'm sorry..." He began to stammer. Yoh stood up and dusted of some dirt of his clothing. He cheeks still red and looked up at Hao and said, "Oh... It's nothing nii-san." Yoh walked up to the bed and sat down beside Hao. Hao turned his head to see Yoh right beside him. Yoh slowly places his head on top of Hao's shoulder and closes his eyes.
Hao never felt anything like this before. He wasn't supposed to show any kind of emotions in front of anyone. He felt weak, has he began to be soft? Even in front of his one and only Otouto? That he attempted to kill before? Did Yoh trust him so much? Why was there so much questions in his head?
Hao slowly gets a pillow on the bed, careful enough to not let Yoh's sleep be broken. He places the pillow on his lap and let Yoh's head rest on the pillow. He slowly glides his hand on Yoh's hair.
"Otouto..." He whispered to himself not loud enough for Yoh to hear but for himself only. The room became quiet and Hao heared to ticking of the clock.
Tick-tock-tick-tock...
Hao slowly removes his blindfold and held it in one of his hands. He laid down on the bed and slept...
Both twins continued to sleep until the morning sun will go up once again...
