Chapter 7: Shock
Yoh awoke the next morning to louder winds. Looked like they weren't leaving again. How long would this storm be? Didn't it have an end? He sighed. Hao wasn't back yet either. Maybe Horo or Ren were right. Maybe he wasn't coming back...
Yoh didn't even want to think of that so he got up and headed downstairs into the kitchen. He shuffled around sleepily, looking for something to keep him awake when he heard something. It sounded close but there was nothing around him. How strange...
He started making coffee when he heard it again. He listened but couldn't find the source. Maybe it was just a rat. He shrugged it off and continued to make his coffee.
About two minutes later he almost died of fright when the floorboard he was standing on jumped. Whatever was down there was no rat. He ran to the basement door and slammed it open, running down with the flashlight. He turned it on and looked around. There he saw something moving around all the boxes. He slowly walked closer. He peered over the boxes and gasped.
"Onii-chan!" he yelled.
It was Hao amid those boxes. And it looked like he was having a seizure. He didn't seem to realize Yoh was there and continued to shake viloently. Yoh grabbed him and pulled him upstairs with some difficulty yelling to Horo and Ren to come down.
The pair raced down and stopped a few feet away. Yoh held Hao close and concentrated on calming him down. Soon enough Hao stopped shaking and looked around.
"Otouto..." he breathed. When Yoh nodded he jumped on him. "Oh thank god!" he yelled.
Horo and Ren looked at each other. Hao was acting so strange.
"There's something in this house that doesn't want us to find out about it! But I know it's name! I know the name of our freaky spectre!" he said shaking Yoh.
Ren grabbed his shoulders and pulled him off the younger Asakura. "Hao instead of killing Yoh why don't you tell us it's name!"
Hao nodded a little and breathed. "That boarded up room is the key to the mystery! The mystery of the one named Lemura!" he said.
A/N: Hao's back! Yay! Now I bet you're all wondering who Lemura is. You'll just have to wait and see. Read & Review!
