Chapter 6: Speculations

Ren blinked a few times. "He's not in the house?"

"No he's not!" yelled Yoh, frantic. "I've looked everywhere!"

Horo bit his lip. "Are you sure you looked -everywhere-?"

"YES!" yelled Yoh who was now crying. "My onii-chan is missing. And there's no way he'd go outside in rain like this! I know him! He's gone!"

Ren went to Yoh and helped him sit down. "Yoh we'll find him. We just need to think for a second. Where could he be and what could have taken him?"

"Take him! You mean he's been kidnapped?"

Ren shook his head. "Yoh think about it. The footsteps, the weird sightings, the flute playing. It's all so strange. Maybe Hao found something and that's why he vanished. Someone doesn't want us figuring something out."

Yoh bit his lip.

"Maybe something took him to another dimension!" said Horo.

Ren rolled his eyes. "Or maybe it's aliens." he said sarcastically. "Will you grow up."

Horo glared and was about to retort but Yoh interrupted him.

"Guys. Don't worry. We'll find him." he said in a meek tone.

Ren nodded. "It's getting late. Let's go to bed. Besides..." he said with a reassuring smile to Yoh. "Hao can take care of himself."

Yoh nodded and headed upstairs to bed, Ren and Horo right behind him. As he snuggled into his covers he couldn't help but look up at the ceiling with a sad sigh. "My brother... be safe."


A/N: He's still not back... That's not good. But don't you just love Ren's sarcasm? Lol. Read & Review!
