- Chapter Five - I'll Protect You -
-Normal P.O.V-
After a about an hour in the park, the sun had begun to set. Though Opacho wanted to play more, Hao propped the three year old onto his shoulders and they set off home. Their house was a simple one. Three stories high, with about 4 bedrooms on the second floor and on the third was a rather lengthy attic. There was a beautiful front garden Hao tended to. His love of nature hadn't faded from his memory at all, he made sure all the plants and flowers were treated with the best of care, it made Luchist happy to see him so care free, and not suffering in silence as he once did.
"Luchist, we're home." Hao called as he and Opacho entered the house. The tall, cone-haired man peered though the kitchen door and smiled warmly at the two.
"Why hello there, Hao-sama." The fomer X-Law spoke.
"Luchist! Opacho's here to!" The copper skinned child skipped towards the elder and jumped into his arms.
"Oh I know, Silly." The man chuckled "How was you day Hao-sama?" He asked.
"Oh fine, I did awesome in Maths, English, History and Science! Also Opacho and I went to that ice-cream parlour with some friends of mine, right Opacho."
The little girl scrunched her nose before giving the cutest smile she had to offer before replying "Yeah! Yoh-baka, Anna-baka and Manta-baka." Luchist's eyes widened not only at the fact that his master had already encountered his lesser half, but at the way Opacho said their names. There was so much venom hidden behind her voice, it was as though she was going to find them and rip them apart when they next crossed paths.
"Opacho! That is a mean thing to say." Hao scolded.
"W-Why don't you go and relax, Hao-sama. I'll give this little thing a punishment." The former X-Law said making Opacho open her mouth in surprise.
"Yes, you do that Luchist, show no mercy as well." The man nodded before whisking the little girl into another room.
"NO!" She giggled making Hao do the same as he walked up the stairs.
"So Opacho, what was this about Yoh and his gang?" Luchist questioned.
"Oh them, it's nothing Opacho handled it they won't touch Hao-sama and if they do they'll be sorry." She growled as she clenched her little fists. 'No one will break up Opacho's family.'
Meanwhile at the Funbari Onsen, Yoh couldn't get Hao out of his mind.
He signed as he soaked in the Funbari hot springs. The teen dunked his head in the water as he attempted wash away his thoughts to no avail.
"Yoh-dono, are you perhaps thinking about 'You know who'?" Asked Amidamaru as he floated behind the teen, but Yoh just blew bubbles in the water in response.
"Yoh-dono you shouldn't worry, didn't you say everything will be alright?" The Asakura looked over to the samurai and smiled.
"You're right, I did say something like that didn't I." Yoh started before looking back into the water. "Y-You think that me and Hao can become like real brothers. You know like hanging out and talking like about stuff, a-and he could give me brotherly advice on stuff, y'know like how older brothers are on TV?" Yoh said in a hush tone. Amidamaru looked at his friend with a soft expression.
'I don't think that I have ever seen Yoh-dono like this before.' The spirit flew over to his friend and slid into the warm water. "In the words of Bob Marley: 'Every little thing is gonna be alright'." The white haired ghost quoted making Yoh smile.
The two began singing 'Every little thing is gonna be alright' until Anna came in and yelled at the naked teen and the samurai threatening to come in there and beat them for scaring away potential costumers with their yoddles. The singing stopped instantly.
After the bath, Yoh dressed in a casual yukata and sat under the kotatsu rolling an orange whilst chanting quietly "Funga fu fu, funga fu fu." Ren and Horohoro had come to visit. They to sat around the kotatsu but just Anna laid on her side, eating tea biscuits whilst watching one of her favourite soap operas on the television.
"Dinner is served!" Ryu smiled with pride. The black haired man served five plates Okonomiyaki for the teens and himself of course. Everyone tucked into their meals except Yoh, who barely managed to eat a third of his dinner.
"You okay dude?" Horo asked as he stuffed chunks of Okonomiyaki in his mouth.
"Kisama! Don't talk with your mouth full!" Ren scolded, but the Anui just laughed it off.
"You know you love me." he chuckled as he put an arm around the Tao.
"Wow, the romance is on tonight." Yoh chuckled, making Ren blush and Horohoro take his arm off of the Chinese teen.
"A-Anyway, back to the subject, are you okay Yoh? You look more aloof than usual, and that's saying something." Ren questioned. Yoh looked dazily into space and smiled weakly.
"Yeah just thinking about school. We have this new student and well... I guess I can't stop thinking about them." Ryu looked into Yoh's eyes, they seemed dazed and lost.
"Ah~ Yoh-dono, I get it. You must love this little lady." Ryu put an arm around the Asakura and smirked in a cheeky manner causing Yoh to blush.
'I should have worded that differently.' Yoh mentally scolded himself.
"Ooo, Anna looks like you have competition." Horohoro chuckled uncontrollably.
The young Itako's eyebrow twitched in annoyance. "FYI." She started "The new student in our class is a boy. And Yoh and I aren't even getting married anymore." Anna finished and continued to eat her portion of Okonomiyaki. A silence filled the room, for about two seconds until Usui shouted at the top of his lungs.
"YOH'S A FREE MAN!" Everyone fell at Horohoro's stupidity, except Kororo the Koropo-kuru, who just chirped in a celebratory manner. "AND HE'S A CLOSET GAY!" The Anui finished. Everyone's face burned red, even Kororo buried her face in her hands at her masters actions.
"KISAMA!" Ren hollered before striking the blue haired teen with his Kwan-Dao. As those two fought, Yoh hung his head in sheer embarrassment trying to hide his crimson cheeks.
"So what's this boy like Yoh-dono?" Ryu pondered making Usui and Tao hush up.
"Well..." Everyone except Anna leaned closer to Yoh awaiting more information on this mystery man. What is he like? Is he attractive? What's his name? Questions like these filled the three's minds until Yoh answered.
"He's very smart and sweet. He's kind and trusting, he actually invited Me, Anna and Manta to get ice-cream with him earlier today and yeah... Uh I guess he's attractive, I mean we look a little similar but..." The young Asakura said but Anna nudged him in the side mouthing the words "Cool it."
"Whoa, Whoa, Whoa you two already went on a date?" Yoh face palmed himself before chuckling awkwardly.
"N-No Ryu, it wasn't a date. Just ice-cream amongst friends." Explained Yoh as a sweat drop ran down his red cheek. After that, the night was filled with conversations about Yoh's new 'boyfriend', which made both him and Anna blush.
'Why did Yoh have to start this.' Anna cursed, a vain on her forehead bulged in annoyance. Being the short tempered girl she was, everyone was soon silenced by her all mighty fists, Yoh however managed to slip away to his room just before the pounding.
"Okay, now they think I'm in love with Hao." The onyx eyed teen sighed as he laid down on his futon.
"But they don't know that it's Hao." Amidamaru said surprising the younger Asakura a little.
"Oh, Amidamaru. Yeah it's good they don't know it's 'You know who'. If they did I swear they'd explode, and I hate to think what Lyserg would do, and Opacho would be so pissed off at me that... ARG!" Yoh tangled his hands in his short brown hair in frustration. He'd never kept a secret so big, it was starting to get hard and he only found out 5 hours ago.
"Yoh-dono, maybe you should..."
"If you're going to asking me tell someone about this then you should already know what the answers going to be." Yoh interrupted in a cold tone.
"But all this worrying is driving you mad, why would you want to risk everything for someone like Hao?"
"You don't understand! Ever since Hao supposedly died, I felt hatred for myself grow! Someone that's always level headed, always happy, surrounded by people who I love and people who love me, but all that didn't matter." Yoh's voice cracked slightly as he continued. "I killed my brother. Who was probably a good guy, but no one gave him a chance, he was always called a demon, and I thought maybe I could change him like I do others but I never got the chance. Now I have that chance, Amidamaru. Now I can make him a better person, one that doesn't wanna kill the human race. It's my duty as a shaman to protect those who need it, and he needs me." Hot tears threatened to fall from the young shaman's eyes, before he knew it his knees were pulled up to his chest and his arms wrapped around them in an attempt to cool off. The samurai stared at the teen with pure sympathy. Never did he expected his partner to have such strong feeling bottled up and pushed aside.
"I understand now, Yoh-dono. No need to fret. No one will get a word out of me." The brunette lifted his head and smiled at the samurai. "Sleep Yoh-dono, you need your rest for school tomorrow." The spirit instructed.
"But Amidamaru, it's only 8:30pm." Yoh whined but Amidamaru gave him the 'don't but me' look, which Anna gave him all the time. Yoh tucked himself under the covers and closed his eyes attempting to force himself to sleep which worked a charm.
'Yoh ran as fast as he could through the streets of Tokyo looking for 'him'.
"Hao! Can you hear me?" He called, but the younger Asakura received no response. "Shit!" He growled under his breath as he ran aimlessly looking for his brother.
Soon Yoh made his way to his school and stopped. His eyes widened as he saw the school surrounded by flames that blazed more furiously than any other he had seen before. There, within the flames stood the X-Laws, well the remaining X-Laws, in all their glory with wicked grins on all their faces. Lyserg, Marco and Maiden-sama.
"No." He whispered as he saw that Lyserg's Arch Angle spirit 'Zelel' held Hao by the arms, so that he was in a crucifix position. The teen's long hair draped down in-front of his face and his body dangled lifelessly. Lyserg ordered the spirit to pull on Hao's limbs and it did, making the older Asakura scream in pain, which made Lyserg cackle maliciously.
"YOU WILL PAY FOR ALL YOUR SINS, DEMON!" Marco spat as he formed his Arch Angle spirit 'Micheal'. Yoh's pupils shrank at the sight of his older brother in such a pathetic state. 'Michael' drew back his sword and was ready to strike.
"No, Stop!" Yoh yelled in anger trying to form his oversoul, but it was too late. Marco's spirit stabbed his older brother in the heart.
"GHAA!" Hao screamed as the sharp sword entered his flesh. Before his last breathe the older teen coughed up blood and began shaking violently. Marco's spirit withdrew his weapon for the teens chest making him fall to the ground where his head smashed against the malted concrete.
"N-Nii-san." Yoh choked before falling on his knees and weeping uncontrollably. "He... He's really gone this time." He cried.
"Y-Yoh-Baka! Look what you did to Hao-sama!" A voice screamed. Turning around, Yoh came face to face with a crying little girl.
"Opacho, I am so sorry, but this isn't my fault." He started "I told them not to tell anyone!" The onyx-eyed teen said, but Opacho just scowled.
"Yoh-baka said he wouldn't tell anyone! Yoh lied to Opacho!" The ebony-skinned child began to let out loud childish cries. "Yoh-baka broke up Opacho's family!" The child shook as anger filled her little body, she crashed down onto her knees.
"I didn't mean to... I didn't think this would happen! I..." Yoh choked but he was soon cut of by the sound of wicked chuckling.
"Look Lyserg, the last of Hao followers." Said Marco whilst raising his glasses slightly. "Like the others, we must destroy her before she can follow in Hao's evil foot steps."
"Yes Marco. All seeds that sprout form evil, should be nipped at the buds like the rotten weeds they are." Jeanne quoted whilst in her iron shell, Lyserg only nodded.
The X-Laws charged at the little girl with full force. Before Opacho could dodge she was captured by Zelel's chains. The little girl struggled in them as they got tighter and tighter.
"Release Opacho!" The child screamed, as tears spilled and drenched her cheeks, but the X-laws only laughed.
The chains wrapped around her little neck before slowly strangling her to death. The girl was released and left there in a little dead heap. Yoh sat their in shock, it happened so fast that he couldn't make sense of it. Yoh crawled slowly to the dead figure who's neck was bleeding, the bone was visible, it make the brunette's stomach churn.
"Opacho." Yoh murmured as he looked at the little girl's dead body. "No, No, NO! This is too much, I'm so, so sorry." Yoh was over upset, tears streamed down his cheeks in rage. Not only did he get his brother killed, but he got a poor defenseless orphan killed as well.
'This isn't real, this cant be real, please don't be real.'
"This isn't real!" Yoh's body flung itself forward in panic. A cold sweat drenched the his skin making his clothes stick to him like glue.
"I-It's was just a dream?" He stuttered before smiling in relief.
"Yoh-dono are you alright?" Amidamaru asked worriedly.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I just had a nightmare is all." Yoh smiled before lugging his shaking body out from the covers, and trudging away towards the bathroom. The younger Asakura twin began splashing cold water on his face trying to rid himself of his thoughts.
'If I tell my friends about Hao, then he'll get killed, and I can't do that to him.' Yoh gripped the edges of the sinking in anger. "This dream will never come true if I have anything to say about it." He growled slightly before calming himself down.
Yoh got himself fixed up for school before heading down the stairs and into the kitchen.
"Yoh-dono, I made breakfast." Ryu chirped whilst putting some pancakes with maple syrup, whipped cream and strawberries on top.
"Thanks Ryu." Yoh sat at the dining table and began to eat still thinking about his nightmare.
"Yoh-kun! You ready for school." The teen looked down and saw Manta ready and waiting with a smile on his childlike face.
"Not yet, why don't you eat something?" offered Yoh and Manta willingly accepted.
The two sat in silence until Horohoro came skipping down sing "Yoh's a closet gay." In a merry manner making Yoh groan and Manta quirk a brow.
"Yoh-kun, what is Horohoro talking about?" The blonde asked. Yoh explained the whole of last night to the midget, who still looked confused.
"C'mon lets get to school Manta." The brunette said after shoving the last piece of pancake in his mouth.
"Toodles Closet Gay." Horohoro waved but Yoh just grumbled, Manta however couldn't help but chuckle slightly at the blue-haired teens actions.
The walk to school was a quiet one to say the least, mainly because Yoh's thoughts wandered to the dream he had.
'I'll protect you Hao.' He thought slightly clenching his fists.
Noticing his actions Manta asked "Are you okay, Yoh?" The taller teen looked down at the smaller one before smiling.
"Yeah just thinking about a weird dream I had." He replied as his eyes drifted off of the blonde.
"What was it about?" Manta questioned. Yoh proceeded to tell Manta the about the dream, earning a very sympathetic look from the blonde.
"Well, I guess the only way to prevent this is to not tell anyone right?" Yoh looked down at the blonde before nodding.
"I can help him, I know I can." The brunette thought aloud himself whilst looking up into the distance and Manta only agreed.
"It'll be fine Yoh, I'm sure of it."
