Author's Notes: YES I finally found the time to update :D Short update, but still, enjoy~!

Yoh smiled weakly to himself as he fumbled with his fingers, looking down.

For me?

Hao watched Yoh closely. The smaller boy seemed to be stoning. Perhaps whatever he said came to him as a shock. Hao sighed.

"Why would you be shocked? Are you seriously unaware of my desire for you?"

Yoh glanced up meekly.

"Yeah. I never expected it."

Hao frowned slightly at that.

"That was straightforward." He complained, then he pouted and folded his arms. "So you thought it was for your soul the whole time?"

Yoh looked at Hao and grinned. "Yup."

Hao leaned closer and pulled Yoh's shirt towards him. Yoh flinched as Hao pushed his lips onto Yoh's. Yoh quickly pushed Hao aside and frantically wiped his lips.

"What the?"

"Yoh. This is getting us nowhere." Hao stood up, still frowning. "You belong with me and you know it. You're supposed to come with me. You're mine."

"I don't recall ever being yours."

"You're a part of me. It's natural that you're mine."

"And so it goes back to wanting my soul again right?"

Hao glared in frustration at Yoh.

"For your information, Yoh." He began coldly. "You are pretty much very, very weak as compared to me so I see no need to even obtain your soul because it is so weak it might pull me down instead."

Yoh blinked. "Ouch. That was harsh."

Hao managed a smirk. "I don't know why but you are the only one that can make me feel this frustrated."

"Am I supposed to be happy about that?"

Hao chuckled slightly. "You're being cute again."

Yoh blushed slightly at that and finally decided that it wasn't very safe for him to remain alone with the fire shaman. Carefully, he stood up and faced Hao. Using the best excuse he could to leave…

"I think I hear Anna calling me. Bye."

Well, so much for the best excuse.

Yoh turned and made a dash back to the house but Hao was definitely faster. It wasn't long before Hao appeared in front of Yoh and grabbed him tightly by the shoulders.

"Really?" He crooned softly, "I didn't hear her…"

In a flash, Hao conjured up a small flame in his hands and pushed it forcefully into Yoh's body. Yoh screamed as the flame entered, leaving a small flame mark on his chest. Hao released the younger boy as he slumped to the ground, clutching his chest tightly in pain.

"I haven't laid a curse on someone for years." Hao beamed at himself as he slowly sat down beside Yoh's body. Yoh looked up slowly, still grimacing.

"Curse?" He muttered innocently. Hao smirked and pulled Yoh up gently.

"Yes, my dear. A curse." Hao smirked as he ruffled the other boy's hair and placed a series of kisses along his neck. Yoh shivered as Hao had his way but he was too worn out to stop him.

"…what kind of curse?" Yoh managed to whisper, before Hao brushed his lips over Yoh's.

Hao smiled and this time, giving Yoh a passionate yet gentle kiss on the lips. When it ended, Hao smiled as he slowly released him.

"Every time I see you I will give you a kiss." Hao said aloud. "And after I give you 5 kisses, I will take you away and you will officially belong to me forever."

Yoh shuddered and clutched his chest. "Then this…"

"The flame I inserted in you is something like an obedience charm. You can never defy me. This helps if you're trying to run away when I want to kiss you."

Yoh sat up slowly as he stared angrily at Hao.

"You cheater."

"And I just gave you the first kiss, so four more to go."

With that, Hao laughed and turned away.

"I'm looking forward to our next four meetings, Yoh. And after that which I can finally take you away, and you'll be mine, and only mine."

Yoh watched as Hao left.

"Looks like things got a little out of hand…" He chucked to himself before closing his eyes and rest.
