Title: Brother, My Brother
By: ChibiAzn3
Summary: 'You won't last forever...not without food & shelter. Let him go, Hao. He'll be in good hands. This family is rich, they can support him, unlike you.' 'I don't care. I'm not giving up my Otouto. I will find a way no matter what, even if it costs me my life'' YXA HHXT RXP LXJ
Choices
"You know, winter is approaching fast. Can you really make it? You made it through fire, but what about ice?"
"I can." Hao stated simply.
The man chuckled. "You can. But what about your brother?"
"Oni-chan?" A voice suddenly called out, awakening Hao from his thoughts.
"Yoh!" He cried, giving a sudden jerk.
"Oni-chan are you alright?" Yoh asked worriedly.
Hao made a funny face. "Why wouldn't I be?"
Yoh began to sniffle. "Y-You looked pale…and dead…I thought…I thought you died…"
Hao hugged Yoh tightly. The young brunette instantly relaxed in his older brother's embrace.
"I'm cold." Yoh whispered suddenly. His voice sounded hollow, then he gave a small cough.
Hao's eyes widened at this statement. He tried to block the man's words out of his mind. His thoughts turned to Yoh's cough. Was he sick? He sighed. "Try to go to sleep for now, ok?"
Yoh frowned and considered this, but then nodded. "Okie."
He climbed back into the sleeping bag beside Hao and quickly fell asleep.
But even though he was sleeping soundly, Hao could notice sudden shivers and slowed down breathing rates.
Hao frowned. He touched his brother's still body: hot.
"No…" Hao whispered as he pulled the sleeping bag open. The sudden exposure to the cold wintry winds caused Yoh to shudder violently. He was covered in cold sweat.
Hao was frantic. He touched his brother's forehead. It was burning up fast. He got up and climbed to the top of the bridge from where they made shelter and looked around.
Few streetlights were lit, and most that were lit were seen in a far distance. He sat down and heaved a sigh. How was he going to find a doctor in time?
He glanced down to under the bridge to where Yoh was sleeping. He slowly walked back.
When he reached Yoh, he kneeled down and shook him.
"Yoh. Yoh, wake up. Yoh."
Yoh gave a sudden jerk, and slowly opened his eyes dizzily. "Y-Yeah…?"
Hao avoided his gaze. "Can you do me a favor Yoh?"
Yoh sat up slowly, frowning and rubbing his eyes. He stared at his brother for a moment, and nodded.
"Can you get on my back, Yoh?" Hao still avoided his brother's questioning eyes.
"Are we going for a piggy-back ride?"
Hao nodded. "Yup. Can you?"
Yoh nodded.
Hao knelt down and Yoh got on. Hao stood up. "Just hang tight alright?"
"Where are we going?" Yoh asked curiously.
Hao climbed up to the bridge and looked around. Where was it?
"Where are we going, Oni-chan?" Yoh shook Hao gently.
"Somewhere." Was the reply.
Yoh nodded sleepily as he fell himself slip into unconciousness…
Flashback
"Hao? Are you alright?" the nun placed her hand on his shoulder.
"How can you let those monsters try to take Yoh away?" Hao practically screamed.
The nun began to cry. "I'm sorry…I didn't mean for that…th-they didn't seem…bad…at first…"
Hao calmed himself. "S-Sorry…"
The nun grabbed a handkerchief and dried her tears. "Do you need anything?"
Hao shook his head. "No…nothing…nothing at all…"
The nun nodded and began to walk away.
"Wait." Hao called out suddenly. The nun stopped and looked back.
"Who were those people…those people who sent those men?"
The nun shook her head. "I don't know…but there was a piece of note that the man left. Not intended, I think not, but left, yes."
She took a note out of her pocket and handed it to Hao.
1680 Yelena Ln.

End Flashback
"Hang on Yoh…" Hao thought as he felt his brother grow weaker and weaker.
