As the morning sun made it's way across Prince Hao's bedroom window, the young prince slowly and silently arose from his bed and rubbed his eyes.

Immediately, the thoughts and events from the other night filled his mind. The memories of seeing Princess Annabelle for the first time, the second when he knew that he had fallen in love with her, and the person that was standing in the way of his true love...Yoh Asakura.

He had stayed up most of the night thinking up a plan of getting rid of his brother. He had finally thought of one at the last second and he was ready to follow out with his plan as soon as possible.

Yoh Asakura was going to die today!

Hao slowly got out of his bed and got dressed. This was going to be one of the most difficult days of his life, but he was ready for it. Sure murder was a little extreme, but then again so was Hao. He would do anything for the person that he loved.

When he opened up his bedroom door, he noticed Yoh standing right in front of his door way. This caused Hao to jolt back in surprise.

"Whoa! You what the heck do you think you're doing you dumba..."

"Hey! I thought that mom told you never to use such bad language ever again remember?" Yoh asked, arms crossed, and a huge grin on his face.

Hao sighed.

"Fine...What do you want?" Hao asked.

Yoh grinned and uncrossed his arms.

"Well I thought that we could have a rematch." he proposed.

"Rematch?" Hao asked confused. "Rematch in what?"

"TAG Einstein. Remember mom interrupted our game yesterday? Soooo I thought that we could have a rematch, outside, right now." Yoh replied.

Hao smirked and leaned against his door frame.

"Sure. Let's have a rematch. I can't wait to wipe that ridiculous smile off of your face anyways. By the time we're through, you'll regret the day that you ever challenged the great Hao Asakura!" Hao grinned.

"We'll see about that." Yoh smiled. He quickly ran down the hallway ready for the rematch.

"Hey wait a sec though." Hao replied. "I got to change into some more 'appropriate' clothes."

"Okay, but hurry up." Yoh said.

Hao closed his bedroom door and walked over to his closet. He pulled out an old pair of jeans and a plain white t-shirt. (Queen Keiko doesn't allow her sons to wear their 'royal' clothes when they're playing around.)

As Hao placed his pants on he knew that it was time.

"Believe me brother. When we're through, you won't have that ridiculous smile on your face." Hao smirked. "It'll be a shame to see my only brother die, but it's worth it to be the one to marry Princess Annabelle."

Hao finished getting dressed and followed Yoh down the spiral stairs.

As the two walked down the stairs, they noticed their mother waiting at the bottom of the stairs. She was wearing a magnificent low cut black dress, with a small chain of flawless diamonds wrapped around her waist. Her hair was tied up in a bun and her long bangs flowed down to her shoulders.

"Where do you two think you're going?" She asked.

The two boys stopped at the bottom of the stairs and smiled.

"Oh hi mom!" Yoh grinned. "Uh Hao and I were just going to go outside to..." Yoh had no idea what to say next, but thankfully Hao finished the sentence for him.

"We're going to go look for the pocket watch that I lost yesterday." Hao finished.

"Uh yeah...what Hao said." Yoh smiled.

Queen Keiko looked over at Hao. "Hao you lost your pocket watch?" Queen Keiko asked.

Hao nodded.

"Do you know how much that pocket watch costed? For god's sake it's made of pure gold!" She shouted.

"I know, I know, I'm sorry." Hao sulked.

Queen Keiko sighed.

"Very well then. You two go and look for that pocket watch." She replied.

"Okay see ya mom!" Yoh said. He went over and kissed his mother on her cheek and ran out the door. Hao did the same.

Queen Keiko grinned as she saw her two sons run out the door and head towards the forest that surrounded their castle.

King Mikihisa came up behind his wife and rested his hand on her shoulder.

"You do know that they're lying right my dear?" He asked.

Queen Keiko grinned.

"Yes I know. But I think that I should let them have fun once in a while. Besides they're just like you when you were little." She smirked.

King Mikihisa smiled.

"You know me too well my dear." he grinned.

Hao and Yoh both ran towards the forest so that they could continue on with their game.

"Hey Hao you were great back there!" Yoh said. "That was a great lie. I think that mom actually believed us this time." he said.

Hao smiled.

"Well I am the smart twin you know."

"Hey!" Yoh shouted. "Oh yeah well...I'm the most athletic and I'm gonna kick your ass today!" Yoh joked.

"Hey I thought that mom told us not to use such language did she not?" Hao asked.

"Oh yeah well mom isn't around now is she?" Yoh smiled.

Hao smirked.

"I guess she's not."

The two twins continued to run towards the forest. All the while, Hao was ready to follow along with the plan that he had come up with the other night. It was time to say good-bye to his brother.

Suddenly Hao stopped in his tracks causing Yoh to stop as well.

"Hey Hao? Why'd you stop?" Yoh asked.

"Hey why don't we go and play tag over there?" Hao asked as he pointed to the southern end of the castle.

Yoh looked over to where Hao was pointing. "Uh...Isn't that where Izumo waterfall is?" Yoh gulped. "Mom said that we're not supposed to go over there cause it's dangerous."

Hao smirked.

"Oh come on it'll make our rematch a little more challenging. And besides...mom isn't around now is she? You're not scared are you?" Hao teased.

"Hmph. I'm not scared!" Yoh reassured. "Come on. Let's go play over there then."

Yoh started to run towards the edge of the forest where Izumo waterfall was located. Hao followed.

Perfect. Hao thought as he ran behind his brother. This is going just as planned. Now I'll just have to wait for the right moment when Yoh isn't looking and I'll push him off the edge of the cliff where he will meet his fate!

Yoh turned to see that his brother was lagging behind.

"Come on Hao hurry up! Don't lag behind now." Yoh teased.

"Hmph. Don't worry about me." Hao started to pick up the pace.

The two had finally arrived at the southern end of the forest. They were ready to play their rematch.

"Okay I'll go first." Yoh said.

"Hey why should you go first?" Hao asked.

"Cause I'm the youngest. It's a well known fact that the youngest always gets to make the decisions." Yoh grinned.

Hao hit Yoh on the head.

"You idiot! It's the oldest that get's to make all of the decisions! And therefore, I will go first."

"Fine. But why'd you have to hit me on the head for?" Yoh asked as he rubbed his head.

"Cause you're an idiot that's why." Hao answered. Hao raised his hand up and smacked Yoh on the back causing him to fall onto the ground. "TAG! You're it!" Hao then started to run as quickly as he could.

"OWW!" Yoh cried as he lay on the ground. "That hurt you know!" he screamed. He then painfully stood himself and proceeded to rub his back. He then looked around his forest in search of his brother.

He was nowhere to be seen.

Yoh sighed.

"Oh great. Don't tell me that you're hiding in some tree again waiting for the right moment when you can come out and pound me to the ground." Yoh exclaimed.

There was no answer.

Yoh sighed and started the search for his brother. He started to walk through the dense and dark forest hoping to see Hao hiding from him in some tree or something, but he had no such luck.

"Hao?" Yoh whispered. He heard some rustling noises coming from behind him. He turned quickly, but there was nothing there.

"Hmmm..." Yoh wondered. "Oh Haooooo? Where are you?" Yoh called.

Silence.

As Yoh continued to walk he suddenly stopped when he had made it to a dead end. Right in front of him was the cliff and Izumo waterfall. There was no where else to go.

Yoh gasped. Where could Hao have been hiding? He looked all around the forest, Hao wasn't there. Where could he have possibly have gone? The only other way to go was down 150 feet. Down Izumo waterfall. That was impossible.

Yoh turned and looked behind him one more time. Hao wasn't there.

He then slowly gulped, kneeled down on the rocks and peeked down over the cliff. There was nothing but massive amounts of water rushing 150 feet down the cliff. There was no sign of Hao.

It's time. Hao thought. Little did Yoh know that Hao was hiding behind a massive boulder that was on the edge of the cliff. He had been waiting for Yoh to walk over to the edge of the cliff and he had finally done so.

Hao quickly ran from behind the boulder, snuck over behind his brother, and forcefully pushed him over the edge of the cliff.

Before Yoh could turn around and see who had pushed him, he was already plummeting down over the edge of the cliff.

But Yoh took quick action and quickly hung on to the edge. He had managed to turn around and grab onto the edge of the cliff with both hands. He was now dangling over the 150 foot waterfall. He was breathing heavily by the surprise, but he immediately caught his breath and looked up to see who had pushed him. It was...

"HAO!" Yoh called in surprise.

Hao was standing above him on the edge of the cliff, grinning down evilly at the unfortunate situation that his brother was in.

"Hello Yoh. Oops did I accidentally push you?" He grinned evilly.

Yoh stared up at Hao in confusion.

"What are you...what's going on?" he asked frantically. "Why'd you push me?" Yoh continued to try and keep his grip. One false move and he would plummet to his death.

Hao kneeled down explained to Yoh the whole situation.

"Yoh see ototo, Princess Annabelle is destined to marry only one of us am I right?" he asked.

Yoh nodded.

"Well in order to ensure that, that person is me...I have to get rid of you. And what better and less guilty way to do it then to accidentally push you off of this cliff."

Yoh's eyes widened.

"Hao...you can't be serious." he said.

Hao stood up again and looked up at the dark clouds that were overhead.

"Oh ototo. I am asserious as I'll ever be." Hao slowly placed his foot ever Yoh's left hand and stepped on it.

Yoh groaned in pain. He was slowly starting to lose his grip on his right hand.

Yoh looked back up at Hao. Tears in his eyes.

"Hao please! Please...you can't...don't do this." He started.

Hao grinned once more.

"Sorry ototo, but I have already made my decision...DIE!"

With that said, Hao then grabbed both of Yoh's hands and threw him off of the edge. Yoh looked up to see his brother grinning down at him as he plummeted 150 down the waterfall to his death.

"HAO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Yoh screamed.

Author's Note:
