Ok, sorry I haven't updated in a while! I think I was suffering from Summer Fever lol anyway I hope you guys are able to forgive me!

Here's the fifth chapter of Anyone But Me! Enjoy!

Haou sat in Yohan's room and watched as he slept. He had to leave before sunrise but after their little 'game', Haou wasn't sure if he would be able so sleep.

The way the boy's body tossed and turned was intriguing. The brunette had to bite hard on his tongue to hold back the urge to have his way with Yohan again.

He sighed and finally left the bed. The minute the coffin closed, the sun rose and Haou sighed in relief that he had made it on time.

Later, he woke up again, he found everyone crowded on the couch and watching TV. He smiled evilly when Yohan turned around and saw him.

The bluenette smiled back and continued watching whatever the hell was on the screen.

"Hey, Haou," Judai greeted.

He didn't reply. He only nodded his head and sat on the chair close to the sofa.

It was silent for a while and it was Yohan who broke the silence.

"Does anyone know how long we'll be staying here?" he asked.

Haou looked at the Hunter and he only shrugged. "As long as we need to. Judai's still in training so it's not like we can confront the rest of the Shadow Hunters yet."

"You're training him?" Haou barked.

"Yes, is that a problem?" Johan asked with narrowed eyes.

"How could you? He just started his human life and you're already taking it away from him?"

"Haou, stop!" the smaller brunette said with worried eyes. "I'll be fine. He's taking good care of me."

"Judai, that's not what I'm worried about! You're human and you're supposed to stay human. Not become one of them!"

"What else is there to do?" Judai snapped. "If he doesn't train me, I could get killed!"

"You could've let him kill me."

"No!"

"Judai, you're my little brother. It's my job to protect you."

"Well, you didn't do too well when you tried to change him," Johan interrupted. "You manhandled him and was about to pierce those infected fangs into-"

"Jo-kun, stop!" Judai said.

But before Judai could finish his scold, Haou was up and had the bluenette pressed against the wall his hand around his neck.

His fangs were shown as he breathed heavily. "You don't know anything! You weren't even there for all of it so don't tell me that I can't protect him!"

Johan showed no fear whatsoever. "Just give up. You know that I'm right and that makes you mad. I'm the only one you can and you know it. So stop fighting it and accept it."

Haou growled as his eyes glowed a brighter gold and his grip around Johan's throat tightened. "One more word and I'll kill you off! Don't think that I won't!"

"Haou, please!" Judai begged with tears in his eyes.

The vampire turned around and saw the pain in his brother's eyes. He retracted his fangs as he gawked at Judai.

"See?" Johan asked regaining Haou's attention. "You're already hurting him."

Haou was about to argue when a loud voice roared, "STOP!"

All heads turned to Yohan who's eyes were glowing a bright orange and his nostrils flared. He was beyond fuming.

He tugged Haou off of his brother rather harshly and looked at the three of them

"Did we already forget the point of this?" he seethed. "We all come from different worlds and the differences are hard to get used to. But we have to pull through it! We just have to! Because if we don't, we're all gonna die."

They all looked at each other as Yohan's words sunk in. Then after the pause, he continued.

"You." He pointed to Haou. "You're really important to me and all, and I'm sorry to say this but you need a reality check."

Haou blinked.

"Do you even remember why you're in this with us? It's because your brother loved you so much he couldn't bare to lose you."

Haou looked at Judai was staring at him with anger, sadness and fear.

"And you want to protect him, right?"

"Of course."

"Then you need to relax. Johan's gonna keep training him," he stared at him and the other knew it wasn't a question, "so he'll be safe. The best you can do is to encourage him to keep doing as well as he is. If you try to stop him, you're only bringing danger to yourself and him."

He sighed.

Yohan then looked at his brother. "And you."

The European cocked an eyebrow at him.

"Wipe that grin off your face because you're in trouble too."

Johan rolled his eyes.

"You pushing all of Haou's buttons to make him angry as hell, isn't gonna help either. Because if he goes into a frenzy and kills you, then we're in some deep shit and it'll be your own fault."

Then he turned to Judai. "And as for you," he started, "you should pay more attention to your brother because these are his real feelings for you. And if he dies because of you then I hope you at least give him the satisfaction of thanking him when he goes to Hell."

Then he turned so that he was looking at everyone. "Now, we're going to sit back down, watch TV and pretend this never happened. Right?"

Johan and Judai agreed willingly but Haou didn't. He had trouble with people telling him what to do and how to do it. He was the freaking Supreme King. He doesn't follow any rules.

Yohan stared at him and waited for him to obey to his order. He was too mad right now to care that last night they had amazing sex and admitted their feelings for each other. If he couldn't control himself, then he would set him straight.

It was Haou's turn to fume now. As said before, he loathed being told what to do. So when the bluenette pretty much flipped out on everyone, it really pissed him off. But then his perverted side started picturing him telling him what to do while in bed.

Ah, shit! he thought. You've been hanging out with Yohan too much.

But of course, he still couldn't decide whether he was turned on or angry, so he just walked to his room and tried to sort out what had just happened.

Yohan rolled his eyes and sat down on the sofa again and watched as Judai and Johan cuddled and watched the television. He didn't even attempt to consider what was on. He just stared at Haou's door and willed it to open but nothing happened.

After an hour, he sighed and turned in early.

Meanwhile, Johan and Judai were still cuddling.

"Jo-kun?"

The bluenette looked down at the small brunette.

"Do you think I'm a bad brother to Haou?"

His eyes widened. "What? Of course not! Why would you think that?"

He shook his head as he blinked back the tears in his eyes. "It's just…the way he looked at me while you two were fighting. And then what Yohan said-"

"My brother was just being a giant ass, just like he usually is."

"I can hear you!" a muffled voice said behind a closed door.

"You were meant to!" Johan called back. He rolled his eyes and refocused on Judai who was now crying.

He sighed and hugged him closer. "Yohan was wrong. You are the most empathetic person I've ever known. You are an amazing brother to Haou, and if you ask him, he'll tell you." He purposely raised his voice so Haou would hear.

"Yeah, but it's true. I don't listen to Haou's feelings that much. To be honest, I thought he lost them after he…you know."

Johan chuckled. "I can see your point. He doesn't make an effort to show them all the time. But that's not your fault. He's good at hiding his feelings from everyone, so how could you have known?"

Judai sniffed. "I guess your right. But I still feel like the bad guy."

"Don't. You're a good person and I…" he sighed and braced himself for what he was about to say next, "I can only thank Haou for raising you to be this way." He stifled a gag.

Judai giggled. "You're such a good liar." He sat up further and placed a chaste kiss on Johan's lips. "And if I tell you something, will you get mad?"

"Of course not, Ju-chan. What is it?"

"You smell really bad," he laughed.

Johan laughed loudly. "I guess you can thank your brother for putting his scent on me."

Judai laughed with him and tried to stifle a yawn. But by the looks of Johan's amused face, he didn't do so well.

"C'mon, let's get you to bed." Johan continued to carry Judai as they entered their bedroom.

The bluenette gently put Judai on the bed as he slept and snuck into the adjoined shower. Judai was right. He reeked.

After the shower, Judai was still sleeping.

Johan's eyes swept over him. He always looked so cute. No matter how bad the day gets, his sleep made him look like he was undamaged, untouched. Amazing.

Johan sighed and yawned. Then he crawled into his own bed and closed his eyes as his drifted off to sleep.

As Johan and Judai slept, Haou stayed awake and tried to calm his thoughts.

First, he couldn't decide whether he was mad at Yohan or turned on by his behavior. Now, after he listened to his brother converse with the Hunter, he had more thoughts.

Judai felt like he was a bad brother, when he wasn't. Haou loved Judai more than anything. But of course, he never said that to him even though Judai said it to him endless amount of times.

And because of him, he broke his promise to Judai. He had told him that he would always be there for him and that he would never hurt him.

But just an hour ago, Judai was crying on his boyfriend's shoulder. And honestly, he was glad that Johan was there for him. But he should've been the one there for him.

He ran a hand through his hand. He had to fix this. He looked at his watch, and he had plenty of time before sunrise. So he exited his room and walked into Judai's.

He was sleeping on the bed and he shook him lightly. "Judai. Judai, wake up."

Judai groaned and rolled over.

"I'll give you some candy?"

Judai opened his eyes and sat up. "Haou?" he whispered.

He put his finger to his lips signaling for him to be quiet. Then he led him out to the hallway and to the kitchen.

He gave him a candy bar and motioned for him to sit down on the couch.

"What is it?" Judai asked after he got comfortable. He had his feet tucked under him and hugged his chocolate close to him.

Haou sighed. "I, uh, wanted to talk to you about what Yohan said earlier."

Judai nodded.

"I know what he said really hurt you. And I'm sorry if I led you to the conclusion that he was right. Because I didn't mean to."

Judai took a small bite of his candy bar.

"Look, know I don't tell you all that often but…I love you."

Judai blinked. Is he serious? he asked himself.

"I…I know I don't show my feelings a lot. And that's because it's easier for me. But I need you to know that you're my brother and I'd do anything for you."

Judai nodded as he took another bite. "Is it true thought?"

"What?"

"That you wanna die?"

Haou sighed. He dreaded this question. But it was time answer it. "Yeah."

A tear escaped from Judai's eye.

"It's not because of you, Judai. I hope you know that. It's me. I don't want to be a vampire and I hate knowing that I'll always want blood more than anything. But you're the only reason why I'm staying. I need to protect you."

Judai shook his head. "Jo-kun could protect me. If you-"

"Stop," interrupted. "I'm not leaving you. Ever. I can see it in your eyes that you don't believe a word you're saying."

More tears came.

"If I leave, you'll be upset. And in my book, that's not protecting you. So stop worrying about me. You're the one in danger so stop worrying about being selfish. Because you're anything but."

Judai nodded as he wiped his tears away. Then he continued eating.

"Are you ok now?"

He nodded. "But, can I ask you another question?"

"Shoot."

"What did Yohan mean by, We all come from different worlds and the differences are hard to get used to?"

Haou chuckled. "I doubt you'll understand."

"Please?"

He sighed. "Ok, but don't tell anyone I said this. It's a secret."

Judai nodded in excitement.

"All of us…we're jealous of you, Judai."

"What? Why?"

"You get to be human. You get to have everything. And we didn't. Our lives were cut short. But you…you get everything."

Judai shook his head. "Are you shitting me? That's so not true! All of you get super sonic speed and unbelievable strength! I'd do anything to be like you guys!"

Haou shook his head. "Be careful what you wish for."

Judai smiled. "Thanks, Haou."

"I'm glad I could help."

"Really?" Judai asked. For as long as he knew Haou, he hated helping people.

"Ok, not really but I'm glad it's out the way."

"Now that's the Haou I know. I'll see you after sunset?"

"Yep," he said popping the "p".

"Kay. Goodnight."

"'Night."

Judai walked into his room and saw Johan sitting up wide awake. "Sorry, did I wake you?"

Johan chuckled. "You're brother's not as quiet as he thinks he is. Or maybe it's just my keen scent." He shrugged.

"So, you heard?"

He nodded. Then he stood up and pulled Judai into a hug. "I'm so proud of you. You did great."

"Well, I didn't really do anything but thanks."

Johan chuckled again and the two of them went back to sleep after saying their goodnights.

The next day, right after dinner, Haou came out of his room. He and Yohan must've made up because they both smirked at each other.

"Hey, Haou," Judai said.

Haou only looked at him and sat down in the chair.

Judai smiled. After their conversation, he understood everything. He didn't care that that was the only time they actually shared their feelings with each other. All he needed to know was that it happened and that made him happy.

Haou caught him staring and he looked at him as if he were crazy. But then he understood the meaning behind his goofy smile so he winked at him and he only smiled bigger, if possible.

Then they continued to watch the TV in silence.

And that's it. I hoped you enjoyed it! Thumbs up for the dark sides' soft sides! WOOT! Lol review plz!
