'Hmm Move carefully… What am I saying I'm not going to get caught! I'm too great for that. Where are you precious? And why can't you see that you should be with me not my pathetic excuse for a brother. Brother, hardly I'm disgraced to call that useless fool my brother. Yoh can't even begin to dream about the power he could posses but I suppose it just makes my job easier. There all so simple. They don't look beyond the five minute box in front of their faces. Anna is wandering around in a daze finally seeing that Yoh never and never will like her, for someone so strong she can be slightly dense. I mean anyone could have picked up that my brother fell for that plain fortune teller. And now! Well now her and Ren... well it simple won't do after all he's mine. To think that they might be getting close makes me sick, what does he see within her? Compared to me she is nothing, what makes her so special that she can be with him and not I!'
I slam my fist into a nearby wall in rage. My thoughts taunting me till the point of striking out. Great Hao you're losing it, I chuckle to myself. Then I see him walking out to the night embracing the bitter sting of cold. I think it's time for a chat with my Ren.
'Good evening Ren.' I lull to him, he spins round eyes widening in shock and fear.
'You what are you doing here!' He snaps rocking from foot to foot preparing for a fight.
'Always itching for a fight aren't we? Do you never stand still and listen you never know you might like what you hear.' I call out relaxed as usual.
'There's nothing you can say that would interest me Hao,' he yells back. I jump down from the roof to get closer to him. All I want is to be closer.
'Really? Oh I don't know about that how about you give me a chance?' I grin and take another fragile step towards him.
'Stay away! What is your problem can't you bother someone else for once!' He stutters stepping back. Unusual to let his fear get to him.
'But Reno you're so interesting I don't wish to see anyone else. I mean nobody else compares now do they? You're strong a fighter and beautiful. He stumbles even further back and I reach out quickly to grab his arm. Ren begins twisting violently in an attempt to escape but I only grip tighter.
'Don't you see? We should be together; we could rule this world and rid it of the vile human race. Come with me; be with me no one else can offer you what I can.' I hush in a hypnotic tone. His struggles suddenly stop as he goes rigid and gasps in pain. What? Oh yes the voices, I see Jeanne is trying to find you again.
'See I can stop this pain, Let me stop it just say and I'll stop it.' I whisper holding his head in my hands.
'Say the word and I'll stop it' I try again.
'Ahh.' Ren gasps and stutters desperately trying to hold on to his pride. His eyes abruptly fly open and he cries out in a strangled tone.
'Just say and it'll stop!' I'll have you begging for me. He continues to endure the immense pain.
'SAY IT!' I roar.
'Ahhh help!He shouts. That was all I needed to hear I slowly bend down and plant a soft kiss upon his lips he begins to shake his head wildly shaking in pain and anger. He's even clawing at my arms in desperation. You will want me. I deepen the kiss and start to feel Ren slip into unconsciousness his arms fall weakly to his sides and his body falls still. That's more like it. I pull away slowly.
'That's all I wanted to hear.' I smirk and look upon my Ren.
'Hao,' I hear one of my team say from behind.
'Yes it's time to go now.' I state as a pick up Ren. Like I said before Ren even if I have to drag you kicking and screaming one way or another you will be mine.
'Morning! What a lovely day!' Yoh chirps far too cheerful for this time in the morning.
'Yeah, yeah morning sunshine to you too can we go yet? I wanna watch some fights!' Horo wails. Everyone is sat around the table chatting and waiting. Waiting for you…
Yoh blinks and puts his arms behind his head in a lazy fashion before answering.
'Ermm yeah sure, but wait where's Ren I'm sure he'll want to tag along.'
'You think so he's being well stranger than usual lately.' Ryu says waving his ridiculous hair in my face, if only I had some scissors.
'Well we should at least let him know where were going.' Yoh replies.
'Hey Anna come with me to tell him.' He requests with his typical Yoh grin.
'Me? Why?' Not like I don't want to. He gives me a strange look as if he knows something I don't.
'Cuz if you're there you can protect me from him if he's grumpy!' Yoh laughs. I relax slightly I thought Yoh knew about me and Ren for a moment there.
'Sure I mean you're pretty useless Yoh and obviously need my protection.' I answer back. I suddenly have this chill and real cold feeling as though some just walked over my grave… Yoh all of a sudden stops walking and looks at me with a serious look on his face.
'Did you just feel that?' He questions. Something's wrong he feels it too. I nod slowly not wanting to think something is wrong with Ren. Yoh breaks into a run and is sprinting to Ren's room before I can even move. He throws the door open and goes inside I run towards the room praying that I'll here cursing and see Yoh being thrown out by an angry Ren but nothing happens. No not again please. I stumble into the room and see nothing. Just a made bed and Yoh. I look around again. No signs of struggle or destruction. Maybe he just left early, maybe…
'Hao.' Yoh hisses.
'What? How do you know?' I whisper my eyes suddenly all hot.
'A note.' Yoh replies his voice laced with anger, I've never seen Yoh like this. I reach a shaky hand out to the piece of paper in Yoh's fist. My eyes drink up the words and I feel my world slip away.
He's mine brother,
