Chapter 21: Battle
Ren sighed a little as he let Yoh rest. He got him back, but it wasn't over yet. He needed to destroy Hao once and for all. Even if it meant going against what Yoh asked.
He leaned on the door to Yoh's room and looked up at the ceiling. "Yoh… I don't want to go against what you asked me but… I can't let this go on. I need to get rid of him. This is for your own good but… Your kindness is blinding you. You don't seem to realize that Hao will stop at nothing. Even if he is your brother… he has to go." He sighed and quietly walked off to the living room, wondering why everyone had to go out today of all days.
Yoh sighed after hearing everything that Ren had said. He snuggled deeper into his blankets and frowned. Maybe Ren was right. Hao had done so many evil things. He had to be stopped.
"But…" Yoh sniffed, wiping away a few tears. "He's my brother…"
XXXXXXX
Hao glared at nothing in particular as he cursed himself.
/Why did I let them go! What the fuck was I thinking! WHY/ He stopped yelling at himself and sighed.
It seemed that he would have to take this final battle to Yoh and Ren. He couldn't help but laugh. Finally it would end and there would be only one winner. And the prize to claim… Yoh.
"This is it Tao. If my brother means so much to you… Let's see how powerful he makes you." He laughed and vanished in a burst of flames.
XXXXXXX
Ren paced the living room, frustrated and tense. He knew that Hao was coming, he just didn't know when. Would Hao attack head-on? Or would he play more mind games?
Ren glared at the ground as he paced. The waiting was unnerving him more than anything possibly could.
Horo sighed. "You're gonna wear out the floor." He mumbled, watching the Tao pace.
Ren glared. "Oh will you sh-" He was cut off by an evil laugh coming from the front yard.
"Ohhhhhhhhh Renny-chan!" Hao laughed, one hand placed on a hip while the other held a fireball.
Ren glared and grabbed him Kwan-Dao before running outside. "Hao! We settle this! Now!"
Hao grinned. "Oh I agree. I'm really sick of sharing what's mine!"
"Yoh is not yours!" He yelled, jumping at the pyro. "Vorpal Dance! Zhong Hua Zhan Wu!"
Hao grinned and easily dodged. He went to attack Ren when another attack, from behind, sent him flying.
Ren looked back. "Horo!"
"You can't jump in blindly Ren! Concentrate!" He yelled.
"Thanks…" He glared at Hao before slashing at him again, only to be blocked by the sword of the Spirit of Fire.
Hao grinned and fought back, forcing Ren to block. Hao kicked Ren hard, sending him flying.
Ren groaned and got back up. He wasn't going to give up without a fight. He jumped back at Hao, determined to end this once and for all.
Yoh sighed heavily as he watched from the living room window. /I should be helping Ren… Hao wouldn't hurt me…/
