Sorrowful Seraphim: Okay, thanks for reviewing all you people! Now, here's another chapter, and like a promised… it has a Lemon! YAY!

Disclaimer: Well, obviously I don't own Shaman King, those people would never yaoi in it…

Warnings: MAJOR YAOI WARNING! Also, strong language used!

My mind was drowsy and clouded, but as quickly as this feeling had come, it dissipated and left me to organize the thoughts rushing through my consciousness. The recent events came flowing into my head; the seals, the torture, the pain, it all came back to me with a crushing clarity.

I could almost feel my body throbbing… no… wait… it actually felt more like a heartbeat and breathing. I opened my eyes and peered out into the unfamiliar room. I recognized a few specific elements of its structure. I was in Hao's room.

Why…? It immediately clicked. Each piece of my little puzzle, the breathing, the heartbeat, and being in Hao's room. It wasn't until the moment I moved that I realized a possessive pair of arms were wrapped around my torso.

A slight fear gripped me. Hao had his arms around me. I was sleeping in the same bed he was. What the hell! I screamed mentally, not wanting the dosing fire shaman beside me to stir.

But somehow, he heard me, almost as if he could read minds in his sleep. Maybe he could, it wouldn't have surprised me one bit, not after the power he'd already shown me.

"Oh, you're awake, otouto. How'd you sleep?" He asked me sleepily, at the same time, releasing his grip on me. I immediately jumped up. He looked at me with questioning eyes. "What is it? We're brothers, there's absolutely nothing wrong with sleeping in the same bed."

I guess I had to consider that. He did, after all, have a good point. "Sorry, it's just I'm not really that comfortable around you."

"That's understandable." He smiled at me with his signature grin, then scooted slowly over and let his feet fall to the floor.

"What… What are you smiling at?" He was beginning to scare me. I wasn't sure I wanted the answer to that question after all.

"Why I'm smiling at you, otouto. Haven't you noticed the changes have already begun?" He stood up, our nearly identical heights were uncanny. As were our deep chocolate eyes, which were now locked with one another's. We really were identical twins.

"What changes?" I asked cautiously. "Hmm?" He started laughing lightly. I was now terrified once again. I hated it when he did this.

"Well, for one, did you not notice your wounds are completely healed?" I gasped when I realized he was right. My body was no longer sore, and I hadn't even realized it, which I should have as soon as I'd gotten up. Before, it took almost all my energy to get up, but now, I'd used almost no energy, or so I thought.

"Actually, Yoh, you used the same amount of energy, it's just now you have so much more that it feels like you're using less." His smile widened even more, if that was possible.

"More energy?" Now that he's said something about it, I noticed my body felt different. It didn't feel heavier, or lighter, or anything like that, just different.

"Well, technically it would be more everything, so to speak. You have more energy, more furyoku, better reflexes, sharper senses, and you will find, once training begins, that your body adapts to individual environments quickly and easily." Wait? Training? I had had a false hope that once he'd done this "seal removal" thing that I would get to leave.

"Oh? Leave?" He laughed, he actually laughed at me. "Dear, aniki, you can't leave. You're going to stay with me… forever." Fear erupted in the pit of my stomach. No. He wanted me to be his follower. I knew it! I started to doubt everything he'd told me.

"I won't follow you, Hao! I don't care what you say, I won't help you destroy those pathetic humans!" I covered my mouth. He smiled at me again. P…Pathetic humans? Why did I say that? How could I say that? What had Hao done to me?

"You'll find out soon, and Yoh," He stepped forward and leaned inward to my ear, "I don't expect you to follow me, you'll be much too powerful to follow me. I was thinking more along the lines of being my partner." he nipped my ear playfully causing me to jump, and then, at almost a whisper, "Mm… I can't wait to hear you speak like that again." His words sent chills running up my spine. And suddenly, the atmosphere changed.

"Now," he verbalized ecstatically, "let's get some breakfast. I think I smell I bacon and eggs!" He smiled at me cheerfully, all signs of malicious behavior were gone. "You finally get to eat breakfast outside your room. I think it's going to be a wonderful day. Come now."

I silently followed Hao out of his room. I solemnly wondered if Hao had these mood swings often. I hoped not, but for some reason, I got the feeling that hope was vain.

Throughout breakfast, which ended up just being Opacho, Hao, and me, I tried to stay silent, even though I could barely ignore Hao's searing gaze burrowing into me.

After breakfast, Hao suddenly left the room, and I had no idea what to do. I opted to help Opacho wash the dishes. It was then I noticed the lack of technology in Hao's house. There was a sink, some fans, electricity, sure, all the things that had an efficient purpose, but if Hao didn't need it, he didn't have it. I sometimes wonder if Hao ever does anything fun or if it was all "business" for him.

I began to think of my earlier behavior. How could I have said that? It was almost as if Hao knew I was going to. It really wouldn't have surprised me if he had. Hao seemed to know things that were impossible for a normal person.

I also contemplated what he'd said about being his partner. He knew something I didn't about my power. Something I wasn't all too sure I wanted know myself.

After silently washing the dishes, I retreated to "my" room, and found some books on a shelf. I wasn't all too sure I could stand reading all day, but at least it was something to take my mind off the world. I lifted my hands to adjust my headphones, and that was the first time I'd realized they weren't there.

I sighed. How could this get any worse? I was with Hao, he'd done something weird to me, and I didn't have my headphones. And my friends, it was the first time they'd crossed my mind. They had no idea where I was. I didn't think this could get worse. Is it just me, or am I always wrong?

:"""""""":Hao's POV:"""""""":

I was enjoying myself thoroughly, toying with Yoh's still simple mind. But all that would change soon. After tonight Yoh would never be the same. He would never leave me, and the plan I had could not be unraveled.

Yoh's family and friends will not be able to bring him back. And finally, after 1000 years, I can rid the world of those dirty, sinful humans. I noticed it was getting late, the sun setting in the distance. It was time.

I sauntered to Yoh's room and tapped gently on the door. I heard a muffled response and turned the doorknob slowly. As I peered into the room, I saw my brother sitting there reading a book. I was impressed. My actions must have been working faster than I thought.

As I entered, he turned his gaze from the pages and met my stare head on. "Good Evening, Hao." Good evening? I couldn't help but smile.

"Get up." He looked at me questioningly. "Don't just sit there, get up and follow me." He reluctantly did as he was told… perfect. I led him onward, back towards my room.

"So, what are we doing?" Ah, how I loved his ignorance. "You'll find out soon, otouto." I opened my door and motioned for him to come in. After he was, I securely bolted the door. I could feel his fear rising.

"There's no need to be scared, Yoh. It's just time I tech you something very important." Before he could respond, I'd whipped off my poncho and pushed him onto my bed. His eyes widened as he attempted to throw me off him. How futile. Chichieena.

"Hao! Get off! And stop saying everything I do is small and futile! I can't stand when you say that!" I froze and grabbed his chin, forcing him to look at me.

"Excuse me? Did you say I called you small and futile?" I'd never seen him get angry so quickly, or maybe it was his fear taking over.

"Yeah, that's what you said." My heart skipped a beat. This was the best thing that could of ever happened. Yoh saw the change in my attitude. "N...Nani?"

I leaned forward and cooed gently into his ear. "I didn't SAY that, otouto." It took him a minute to comprehend my words. I felt his fear rise to all new heights. He now understood.

"No…No, this can't be." He whimpered as tears began to spill from his eyes.

"Don't worry, Yoh. I'll take care of you." I slipped of my gloves, while at the same time pushing his shirt higher on his torso. It only took him a moment before his mind snapped back to reality. He writhed underneath me, but to no avail. Soon he was tired, and I could feel him giving up any hope of escape as I pulled his shirt over his head and tossed it on the floor, revealing his chest. He was still crying.

"Why are you doing this? I thought you said we were brothers! I…" I hushed him. He needed to be a bit more quiet.

"We are, and that is exactly why I'm doing this. We need this Yoh. Don't deny it." I could sense his confusion. Part of him wanted this more than anything, while another part was still the old Yoh, innocent, pure, and righteous. It all depended on which part was stronger. I found out the moment he kissed me.

"Good, Yoh." I quickly initiated a heated kiss and he instinctively parted his lips. I immediately explored the warm cavern that was Yoh's mouth, savoring the unique taste. Meanwhile I was working on unbuckling his pants. The moment I had them undone, I yanked them off, tossing them next t his shirt and leaving him with only a half-on half-off pair of boxers separating me from his manhood.

I must admit, I hadn't expected him to submit to me so easily. It looked as if my plan was working ten times as good as I'd thought it would, which was just fine with me.

I began to ravage his neck and chest, occasionally biting done hard on him, leaving my territorial marks on him, and showing he belonged to me. Suddenly I clamped my teeth onto his nipple, earning a loud gasp from him. I began messaging his skin with hot touches, as he let small gasps and moans escape from his lips.

Then, before it even registered to him, I'd pulled his boxers off and wrapped my hand around his fully aroused member. He moaned, loud. And their intensity increased as I began to pump him faster.

I began to undo my own pants with my free hand as I passionately kissed him over and over, stifling his moans. Once they were off, I shifted downward. I think he knew what was coming.

I encased his member with my mouth, taking in as much as I could and began to suck feverishly. The moans that escaped were intense. I didn't think I'd ever heard someone moan that loud. But I didn't stop. Not until he moaned my name and released into my mouth.

I savored that taste, the wonderful taste of my little brother. I took my boxers off. I turned him over. "Are you ready for me Yoh?" I didn't want to hurt him, but I knew there was nothing to do to prevent the pain. I didn't stretch him either, it would only increase his discomfort.

Moments before his answer I thrust into him. He screamed. I soothed him with almost inaudible whispers, as tears streamed down his cheeks once more. After I thought he'd gotten used to the feeling, I pulled out of him, only to begin pounding into in a slow rhythm.

He was still cringing, but I knew the pain was beginning to abate. "Hao…. Please…..fuck me faster!" I was impressed. If anything, I would of expected him to say slower or plead for me to stop, but no, he wanted faster, and I complied with interest.

I thrust into harder and faster than before, as his moans, now of pure pleasure, increased dramatically. "God Damn Yoh, you're so good!" I screamed into his ear. I reached around him frantically and began to pump him in time with my thrusts. I was almost afraid someone would hear us, for his moans increased to all time high.

Not that it would matter, I could less whether the whole world was watching us, I wasn't going to stop now. I felt myself ready to release at any moment.

"HAOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Yoh screamed as he released into my hand.

"GOD YOH!" I fell onto him as I released into him. I barely managed to pull out of him before I collapsed next to him.

We were both panting heavily. He looked at me with desirable eyes. "Onii-chan, can we do that again sometime?" Perfect. I had him now, and there was no escape.

"Of course, otouto." I grabbed the blankets, throwing them over us, as I wrapped my arms around him, pulling him close.

"Onii-chan?" I opened one tired eye. "Yes, otouto?" He looked worried. "What is it, Yoh?"

"What about my… you know…" It took me a minute to realize he meant the reishi. "Don't worry about that now, I'll teach you how to use it." I kissed his forehead as he buried his face into my chest. I rested my chin on his soft hair. We fell asleep almost instantly.

Sorrow Seraphim: There you go! The lemon I promised you, and in Hao's POV! I'm proud of myself. That was a LONG chapter for me.
