Chapter Eight: Abashment:

Kyo was the first to awaken; his red eyes staring up at the ceiling with his waking. Yawning, loudly, he got up and saw that Hotaru and Akira were still sleeping together. He smirked at the sight.

Their limbs were tied together as if they were fighting each other and as if they were embracing each other. The older teen's fist was in the blonde face while the blonde's foot was in the green-eyed one's groin area. Their free hands were holding each others. The red head could hear them muttering something in their sleep.

"I'm gonna beat that weakling", he heard the orange-haired male whispered; his orange eyebrows knitting together in determination.

"I'm no weakling. Once I beat you, I'll prove that", he heard the blonde whisper as he squeezed the other adolescent's hand tightly.

The red head shook his head, "Fucking…kids".

He walked out of the lodging area to find a place to bathe. He found a hot springs in the back and decided to take a bath before he woke up the boys. Once he was done, he came back and saw that they were lying side by side again, but this time their backs were turned to each other.

He approached them and gave Hotaru a swift kick to his side with enough power to break ribs. The orange-haired teen woke up with a loud groan as he flew a couple of meters away. He saw that he was flying right into a wall, and with his reflexes he turned his body around and landed on the wall. Staying in mid-air as long as he could, his green eyes narrowed to slits when he saw that it was Kyo that kicked him.

Before he could utter a word to the red head though, the red head smirked and said, "Let's see how quick he wakes up!"

The red head kicked the blonde with the same amount of force before, making the blonde go flying. Just as the older teen did, he awakened to see himself flying but instead of flying into a wall he was flying into the other male. The green-eyed adolescent braced himself, wondering if he should catch the boy.

"Na", he said as he shifted to the right, making the blonde land on the wall.

He fell to his knees and got up; his blue eyes glaring at both the other teen and the red head. With his fists balled up, he frowned angrily.

"Why the hell did you do that for!?" he cried as he rubbed the side where the red head had kicked him, then he turned to face the older teen. "Thanks a lot for catching me, asshole".

Hotaru didn't say anything in response as Akira walked away, rubbing his side. His green eyes widened just a little bit when he heard the blonde using profanity. This wasn't the same blonde he met yesterday, proving that Kyo's split-personality theory for him was right. He was distracted from his thoughts when he heard the red head laughing loudly.

"Grumpy in the morning, isn't he?" the red head began. "Now bathe up, wimps. We're heading for the tournament after this".

The blonde stopped mid-step and the orange-haired male folded his arms before his chest. They both looked at the red head with confused looks. Did he actually want them to bathe…together?

The older teen felt his fists clenched and his teeth gritted together. He was glaring at the red head that was waiting on them to leave.

"Do you expect us to bathe together, Kyo-kun?" he asked through gritted teeth.

"That would help us get to the tournament faster", the red head said as his smile fell. "Now hurry up".

The blonde said nothing so the fire-master took the floor, "Boys aren't supposed to shower with boys! It's…disgusting!"

The blonde, who was already turned away from them, felt a small pink blush arise on his cheeks. The red head shook his head rolled his eyes.

"Fine, if you don't want to be in the tournament, then Akira and I can go", he said, turning to face the blonde.

"How come you're not coming?" the older teen asked.

"Because while you lazy wimps were sleeping, I took one", the red head said.

The orange-haired teen growled as his anger rushed through his whole body, turning his face red, "Fine, I'll go. Where's the damned baths?"

The red head smirked and pointed to the back, "It's there. Just open the door".

The green-eyed male walked to the back, slide open the door with a force that almost broke the door, and entered. The blonde continued to blush, not hearing anything, and stared at the floor. He remembered back when he first took a bath with a boy. That didn't turn out too good. The red head took notice.

"Akira…something the matter?" the red head asked, "waking" the boy out of his thoughts.

"No", the blonde said and walked to the baths after the older teen.

As soon as Akira walked in, he saw a strong mist in the air, making the overall area look mysterious but alluring. He closed the door behind him. He looked around and froze at the sight of Hotaru completely naked and bent over to throw the rest of his clothes away. The blonde gasped and closed his eyes, trying to shake the image of his "friend" naked out of his head. The fire-master heard this and slowly turned around to see the blonde standing there but looking away. He blushed a little as he scratched the back of his wild orange hair.

"Oh, yeah, I forgot about you for a sec", he said with a dumb look on his face.

"Just get in the water already!" the blonde yelled as he covered his face with his hand, shielding his eyes.

"Oh, yeah", the green-eyed boy said, feeling stupid again, and slid into the water.

The blonde slowly removed his hand and saw that the older teen had got into the water. He sighed in relief as he started to untie the sash around his waist. The orange-haired male had his eyes closed and let the warmth of the water consume him. His cheeks were a light pink color. The blonde didn't care though. He kept a gingerly eye out on the older boy, making sure he didn't look at him.

He cautiously took off his shirt, revealing his old wound from yesterday like the older boy in the bath. After letting that hit the floor, he took of his pants and hastily hopped in, disturbing the other boy and causing the orange-haired teen to open his cat-like green eyes.

The blonde tried not to make contact with the fire-master's fiery green eyes. They were more piercing than Kage's blood red ones. After a few seconds though, he fell to temptation and looked back at the older teen with his non-threatening blue eyes.

"What?" the ice-master snarled.

"Nothing really", the green-eyed male began with closed eyes and a smirk.

He opened his eyes again and said, "Just wondering why you're shaking when the water is so warm".

"It's none of your business", the blonde replied.

"Ah", the older adolescent sighed, catching the blonde's attention again. "Why is the water so warm?"

The blonde bit his lip to refrain from laughing. How did he know that the swordsman was going to ask a stupid question like that? He snickered a little bit, keeping it quiet so the other boy wouldn't here. He sighed and was glad that the "genius" didn't question him further.

Using the herbs nearby, Akira bathed, washing his hair as well. Once he was done, he looked over and saw that Hotaru was knocked out cold; his cheeks still holding the light pink color as he smiled. The blonde rolled his eyes and hesitantly walked forward to wake the sleeping boy up.

"Hotaru…damnit, get up", he called, taking baby steps to get to the other boy.

The blonde stopped when he heard someone knocking on the door. It was probably Kyo but the sound made him jump. He looked over at the door.

"What's taking you guys so long? You got 10 minutes to get out or I'm gonna leave you runts here", he heard the red head yell through the door.

The blonde heard footsteps, then he went back to trying to get Hotaru to wake up. He had no choice but to shake the boy awake since calling didn't work. He shook the boy by his shoulders, making his head move back and forth with the force of his pushing.

"Hotaru, get up!!!" the blonde yelled loudly, causing the older teen to jump.

The blonde moved away as the orange-haired male wiped the sleep out of his eyes and yawned. He saw that it was the ice-master who woke him up. He felt a slight chill in his chest and that woke him up completely. He figured that the blonde's cold touch must've wakened him. He stared at the other boy blankly.

"How long have I been out?" he asked.

The blonde scoffed, "Around 5 minutes or so. You better hurry up 'cause Kyo's leaving in 10 minutes".

"10 minutes!?" the green-eyed teen inhaled sharply and began to bathe.

The blonde got out of the springs when the older male was turned around. He dried off with a nearby towel. Once he was done with that, he began to put his clothes on quickly so no one could see him. He turned around after he put his pants on and was putting his shirt on when he saw that Hotaru got out was dripping with water, running down his body including his hair.

The orange-haired teen saw the scratches on the blonde's chest had closed and the bruises were gone, "Well, you healed up nicely".

Refusing to let his eyes go any lower, the blonde looked at the older teen's chest and saw the same results, "You too".

The blonde grabbed the other male's towel and threw it at him. He then straightened up his shirt and tied to sash around his waist tightly. He looked down and noticed that the attire he wore was a white and blue shirt and blue pants. He saw the older teen's outfit and saw that it was identical to his but the shirt was white and an orange or red color.

The green-eyed teen blindly put it on without realizing it, and as soon as he securely tied his sash around his waist, the door swung open. They both looked and saw that it was only Kyo who looked at them blankly.

"I'm leaving…", he said and walked off.

The blonde felt his heart rate sped up at the thought of being left with the orange-haired boy and the older male felt the same. They both hurriedly put on the wooden sandals near them, but the fire-master accidentally put on the blonde's sandal.

"Hotaru, you idiot!" the blonde hissed.

"You got on my sandal too, blockhead!" the green-eyed male snarled back in response.

They switched sandals and ran after Kyo side by side. The red head was gone and they grew frantic. The older teen used his demon senses to sense the red head and ran faster in that direction.

"I'm not getting stuck here with you!" he cried as he ran.

The blonde followed him, "I don't plan on being stuck with you either!"

They stopped when they saw a huge banner that read 'Tournament'. They both looked around through the huge crowd, using their keen eyesight even though the older adolescent's sight was better than the blonde's.

"Where is he?" the blonde hissed.

"Over there!" the green-eyed male cried as he saw a man with red hair and pointed.

They ran over to the red head, rushing through the crowd. Once they caught up to the red-haired man, they stopped running and caught their breath from the rushing they had to do. The red head smirked and looked back at them.

"Glad you guys could join me", he said.

The teens both scowled at him, making his grin broader. The lines for the tournament were long, longer than anything they had ever seen. They were surprised as to how patient the red head was while they were rapidly growing impatient by the second.

Hotaru found himself glaring at Akira who glared back at him. How bored they were! It felt like hours had passed when it was only minutes flying by. The teens found themselves listening to everyone's conversations on either side of Kyo.

"Isn't that Demon Eyes Kyo?" the orange-haired male heard, not even looking to see who it was.

"It is! Who are those brats with him? They look like weaklings!" he heard another person say.

This time he looked at who said it, seeing what looked like it could be just a regular human. He scowled at the man who balled a fist at him.

"Why, you brat!" the man cried as the boy merely rolled his eyes, unafraid of a simple human.

Then there was the blonde was listening…

"Who's that? Demon Eyes Kyo?" he heard.

"Yeah, it is him! I've been waiting for a chance to fight him!" another person said.

"Hm…" was all that the blonde said as he stepped forward with the red head and the older teen.

Hotaru was finally happy to see the registration tables. He sighed in relief, feeling like they had been waiting in line for the whole day. He looked up and saw that the sun was still bright and shiny as if it were still morning.

Akira noticed that they were getting close and stretched his arms out. He kept his eyes closed though so he wouldn't be blinded by the sun. He observed that the older teen didn't have any problem with it.

Once they were three people away from signing up, Kyo took a step back. The boys looked at him confusedly.

"Sign up before me", he said blankly.

The blonde just nodded and was the first to step forward while the green-eyed male silently got behind the younger male. Once the blonde was at the registration table, he saw a stack of papers, a pen, and a man who glanced up at him briefly.

"State your name and sign the paper", the man said.

"Akira…", the blonde said and leaned forward to grab the pen.

The man stopped him by putting his hand on top of the blonde's, making the blonde glared at him.

"No last name?" he asked.

"No", the blonde growled, snatching the pen and his hand away. "Just Akira".

With that, the man did nothing and the blonde signed his name and stood to the side. Hotaru was next and he had the same 'last name' problem with the man. When Kyo stepped up and told the man his name though, he just shivered in fear. The red head smirked at him.

"N-next please!" the man yelled, staring at the red head's bloodthirsty crimson eyes in fear.

"Come on, Kyo-kun. I wanna look at the competition", the blonde said, snapping him out of his cruel world fantasy of chopping the registration man up by tugging on his sleeve.

"What for…so you can just get beat by them?" the orange-haired adolescent said as he looked away from them with his arms crossed before his chest.

The red head looked at the boys before smirking at the blonde, "Smart move, boy".

The red head and the blonde walked away, leaving the green-eyed male standing off to the side by himself. He continued to stare blankly and shifted his eyes up to the skies. He wondered if he stayed with them long enough would he be able to beat his only threat, his own half-brother.

"You're nothing but a bastard child born of that damned concubine that my father had to have sexual relations with", he heard the white-haired man say.

He could still remember that day when he was just a boy around two or three years old.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

He had just wanted to play with his half-brother. With a clear plastic ball in his hand, he ran as quickly as he could to get to the much older boy. Once he reached him, he panted heavily since he had been running after him. He was glad that the boy had stopped.

"Shinrei, play with me?" he said with a smile as he held the ball out to the other male.

The white-haired boy frowned and grabbed the ball, holding it tightly. The orange-haired boy watched in amazement when he saw that the ball began to fill with water. The older boy continued to frown as he filled the ball up to its maximum capacity. He kept filling the ball with water and soon it busted, spilling all over himself and the younger boy.

The green-eyed toddler giggled at the little trick which was something the older boy hadn't expected. Angry and with quick motions, he gripped a good amount of the boy's orange hair and yanked him off his feet, glaring at him with pure rage. The boy didn't get scared, but he was pretty confused.

"You're nothing but a bastard child born of that damned concubine that my father had to have sexual relations with", the white-haired boy hissed and threw the boy harshly down on the ground, making him scrape his knee.

He didn't cry like a normal child would, but he just laid there. He was confused about every word his half-brother had said to him. Why would he say such hurtful things to a boy who was just being nice to him? With the little dignity he had left, he got and stared blankly at the leftover pieces of his ball, feeling sad, but not enough to cry.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Hotaru"

The orange-haired boy snapped out of his trance when he saw a hand waving close to his face. The hand belonged to the blonde who greeted him with a smile. The red head just looked at him blankly.

"You have to come with us to look around. I don't want you to loose because of ignorance. I plan on fighting you in this tournament", the blonde said as he smirked. "I'm gonna beat you this time".

The green-eyed teen blinked a few times and said, "You wish, but ok".

The blonde nodded and turned around. He saw Kyo that was leaning back against the wall nearest to them. He looked over his shoulder when he heard a gasp. It was from the older boy.

"Where's Kyo-kun? We lost him again?" he heard him say in disbelief.

Is he serious…?

The blonde smacked his right hand on his forehead. Extending his left arm, he pointed at the red head that had his eyes closed in concentration.

"Oh…", the fire-master said, feeling dumb again.

"I sure hope you fight better than you act", the blonde said as he began to walk off.

The orange-haired male frowned before glancing at the red head and left with the blonde. Both teens stopped when they heard a loud ruckus behind them. They both turned around and saw that there was a whole group of around 30 people surrounding the red head.

"I'm not waiting all the way until the 8th fight to fight you, Demon Eyes Kyo!" one of the people said.

"Not if I get him first!" another cried.

"Don't waste your time. You'll be beat in mere seconds!" another argued.

The blonde shook his head, "All of this commotion over Kyo-kun".

The older teen sighed, "People have put up a lot of fuss because of him."

"Think we should step in?" the blonde asked and the other male shook his head and yawned.

Kyo looked at all of the people who surrounded him with narrowed blood red eyes. They all disturbed his concentration. Even though all the people had their swords out, he didn't at all feel threatened and his arms remained crossed in front of his chest.

"Hey, you're not even defending yourself!" another person yelled in disbelief.

"He takes us as fools! Let's get him!"

Suddenly, they all lunged forward. In the blink of an eye, blood splattered everywhere. Pieces of human arms, legs, head, and etc. flew with the blood. The blonde and the green-eyed male watched in amazement when they saw silver blurs that must've been coming from Kyo's sword slice and dice at least five or more people with one slash.

The blonde was disgusted when someone's bloody finger hit forehead, splattering blood all over there. The orange-haired boy began laughing loudly with his mouth wide open. The blonde frowned and noticed that the last remaining person that threatened Kyo was running rapidly in their direction. The red head moved with an immeasurable speed, cutting the person down bloody; his crimson blood and flying body parts, getting all over the older teen. Now it was the blonde's turn to laugh when he saw part of the dead man's scalp along with some hair flew into the older boy's mouth. He frowned in disgust, spitting it out instantly. He kept spitting until he felt his voice come back.

"Ew! What…hell!?" he said, skipping over words as he spit out his saliva for a good three or five minutes.

The blonde watched as the older teen wiped all of the blood away with his sleeves. He snickered and helped the orange-haired male by wiping his eyes of the blood with his sleeve while he wiped the right. The boy's green eyes stung, but with the blonde's help he was able to see again. He jarred his body, and the blood flew off him.

The red head approached them finally and laughed boisterously at the poor adolescent, "What happened to you?"

The green-eyed male just hissed and the blonde walked away with a smile on his face and his arms folded before him. The older teen looked around and saw how the people were pointing and laughing.

It's not that damned funny!

Even when that thought crossed his mind, he still felt slightly embarrassed and his cheeks were stained with a light pink color that went unnoticeable as he followed the blonde.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
