Chapter 5: New Crowd, Family Dramas, Oranges
Yoh woke up, with an annoying beeping sound alerting him to wake up. The brunette groaned and slapped the alarm clock off.
BEEP BEEP BEEP
"Ugh!" Yoh slapped in once more.
BEEP BEEP BEEP!
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Yoh screamed as he threw the alarm clock across his room.
BEEP BEEP BEEP
"WHAT THE HELL!" Yoh run out of the bed and went to stare at the alarm clock which was still beeping annoyingly.
"I swear this is driving me NUTS!" Yoh yelled while grabbing either side of his hair, and looked as if he was about to pull his hair out.
"You DO know that you can only turn it off by pushing the button right?" Said a familiar voice.
Yoh spun around to find no other than Hao standing at his doorway, while leaning on the frame of the door.
"AHH Hao? WHAT are YOU doing here?" Yoh yelled.
Hao began laughing annoyingly, and motioned to sit on Yoh's bed.
"Well, In case you didn't know, both Horo Horo and Pirika live here, so me and Ren slept over in Horo Horo's room" Hao replied while drinking a milkshake.
Yoh eyed Hao up and down and realised that he in fact was telling the truth. Hao was dressed in a pair of navy, loose sweatpants, and a white t-shirt on his upper body. His hair was put into a messy ponytail, and he was drinking a milkshake.
What's with him and milkshakes? Yoh thought, as he watched Hao suck the straw that was in the milkshake.
That sight made Yoh very uncomfortable. Hao looked extremely sexy just sucking on that straw, his mouth in a very attractive shape.
Hao noticed Yoh staring at him and smirked. Trying to tease Yoh, Hao began to suck on the straw even harder, letting out quiet moans.
What the? Yoh thought, as he watched Hao drink his milkshake with pleasure written all over his face.
"So Yoh" Hao began, startling Yoh from his thoughts.
"Wanna go out later, It's the weekend after all" Hao asked, while juggling with a couple of oranges that he found.
First milkshakes now oranges, wait ORANGES AHHH! Yoh thought to himself.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! ORANGES" Yoh screamed.
Yoh tackled Hao to the ground, taking the oranges away from him while screaming 'ORANGES ORANGES MY ORANGES' the whole time.
Hao who was now super confused, just stared at Yoh making a tantrum.
Suddenly, Yoh's door flung open revealing none other than Pirika, Horo Horo, and a very angry Ren.
"What the HELL is going on here?" Horo yelled.
Soon nothing was said as everyone realised what awkward positiong Yoh and Hao were.
Hao currently was being tackled to the ground, while Yoh was on top of him, holding onto his wrists and pressing them to the wood floor.
Horo Horo began chuckling and covered Pirika's eyes with his hand.
"Come on sis, there is nothing for you to see here, now we will be going come on Ren" Horo Horo said.
As he motioned to the exit he realised Ren was not following him. Instead Ren was still standing there, clenching his fists, while looking down.
Hao and Yoh immediately got up, and Hao fixed his clothes, while Yoh was sitting on the floor, hugging his oranges, and crying anime tears.
The long haired brunette rolled his eyes, and motioned to the Tao.
"Ren, you okay?" Hao said, while waving his hand to Ren's face trying to get his attention.
"I'm fine" Ren said through gritted teeth, and walked out of Yoh's bedroom door.
Soon, everyone left leaving Yoh getting dressed. However Yoh felt strange. He felt like someone was watching him.
"Hmm, You really do have an amazing body" Hao said.
"WAHHH!" Yoh started screaming, as he just acknowledged the fact that he is standing there half naked with Hao just looking at him.
Hao busted out laughing, making Yoh just stand there quickly putting on his clothes.
"HAO, What are you doing here?" Yoh asked, when he was fully dressed, with a tint of a rouge colour on his cheeks.
"Well, since You went all 'I'm mental about oranges' on me earlier on, You didn't answer my question" Hao said, while flipping through a random magazine on the bed.
Yoh just looked at him.
"Are you going to come and have fun with us today or not?" Hao asked looking seriously at Yoh.
Somehow Yoh felt like saying yes, but one side told him to say no and look for his brother.
"Erm, some other time Hao, I have some issues that I must resolve first" Yoh said as he began putting oranges into his back pack.
"And your big issues is to get more oranges?" Hao asked smirking.
"No I have some family issues" Yoh said as he ignored Hao's smirk.
The smirk of off Hao's face vanished as he took in what Yoh said. Yoh didn't look like the person who had family issues. He was a carefree guy who didn't care what people thought of him. That's why Hao felt attracted towards him. However at the same time, it was so easy for Yoh to just let Hao's guard down, without Hao even noticing it.
"Alright, then I'll see you later" Hao said, as he retrieved back into Horo Horo's room.
Yoh walked out of the hotel where his 'friends' remained. He began searching for a local social community, where he can find someone under the name of 'Asakura.
When Yoh walked along the British streets he realised how dirty the streets were. Yoh loved nature and treated it with respect, however seeing wrappers and chewing gum on the floor in a way disgusted him. He saw numerous people smoking, as well as a dozen of homeless people begging for money. Of course Yoh puts people in front him all the time, which is why every time he walked passed a homeless person he gave them 20p or more.
As Yoh scanned the streets, he saw a nearby cafe. It wasn't the cafe that caught his attention. It was who was In the cafe.
Anna? Yoh thought.
He saw Anna sitting on some guy's lap, who held her waist as she began kissing him. Immediately, Yoh's thoughts shifted to Hao. Does he even know? He kind of felt bad for Hao at that point. Even though from Hao's looks it didn't even seem that he liked Anna that much, but it's still called cheating and if anyone see's her cheating on Hao, he could get his reputation ruined.
Wait, why the hell do I CARE? Yoh mentally slapped himself, and resumed to looking for any local social communities.
A few minutes of walking, Yoh spotted a Local community centre.
He entered the building and was mesmoried by the ceiling. It was HAYUGE!(AN: I know HAYUGE is not a word, but I wanted to emphasise its meanin by making it sound funny haha -_-).
Yoh began walking to the front desk, and he spotted a woman, from the looks she was probably in her mid 30's.
"Welcome to the Piccadily Local Community Centre, how may I help you" She asked with her British accent.
"Erm, Hi I was hoping I could find someone" Yoh said.
"Find someone? Is it a relative?" She asked.
"Well yes, I just moved here and got told he's here in London" Yoh said to the woman.
"Well alright then, Can I have this person's name?" She asked, while she typed something on the computer.
"I don't know his first name, but the second name is Asakura" Yoh said.
"Sir, you are trying to find someone whose name you don't know, that's suspicious" She said looking Yoh straight in the eye.
"Look, I've never met him but he's my relative, My name's Asakura as well, now please I really need to find him" Yoh begged the lady, with a pleading look in his eyes.
For a moment the woman hesitated but she adjusted the glasses on the bridge of her nose and began typing onto her keyboard.
"So Asakura yes?" She asked as she stared into the computer screen.
"Yes" Yoh replied, with a hint of excitement, he was very anxious to find his brother, there was his chance.
"There is no one in London or Britain who lives under that Name" The woman said, looking at Yoh with a sad look.
"WHAT? That's impossible you must have done something wrong!" Yoh yelled, getting pretty angry.
"I'm sorry sir, there isn't anything wrong, but there really is no one look" The woman said as she motioned the computer screen towards Yoh.
Yoh looked at the screen and saw the title 'No matches found'.
Sorrow and regret was written all over his face then and there. He could not believe it. His father said that he was sure they were here before he passed away.
Fighting back the tears, Yoh thanked the lady and walked away.
Dragging his feet back to the hotel, Yoh didn't know what to do. He was so anxious to meet his brother and reunite the family somehow, but now he had no clue where they were, he honestly had no family left at that point.
Yoh entered the hotel once again, and walked towards the elevator without greeting Pirika or anyone at the reception.
He opened the door to his suite, threw his bag on the floor and plopped himself on the messy bed with a 'thud' sound.
Yoh groaned and groaned and couldn't help but groan. He felt like 'shit'. Yoh heard knocking on the door and ignored it.
The knocking got louder and quicker, and Yoh just groaned for whoever it was to go away.
"YOH I'M BORED let me in!" Hao yelled through the door.
"GO AWAY, I'm not in the mood for your games Hao!" Yoh yelled through the pillow that was stuffed into his face.
"ALRIGHT IM GOING IN" Hao yelled.
Hao backed away a few metres before running for the door and breaking it through. However, surprisingly as he was running for the door, the door burst open revealing a pissed off Yoh, and a Hao who just randomly is still running until he hit Yoh's bedroom window, and fell to the floor.
"AOW! Yoh what the fuck?" Hao yelled as he was rubbing his head while sitting on the floor.
"That's what you get for trying to break my door" Yoh said, as he resumed to his bed.
"Technically it's Pirika and Horo Horo's door since they own it" Hao stood up and fixed his clothes back into place.
"So what's up with you" Hao asked while sitting on the bed across from Yoh who was now hugging a pillow.
"It's none of your concern, why are you speaking with me anyway?" Yoh asked sounding dead serious.
Hao studied Yoh's expression and thought how to answer that question. He himself did not know why he socialized with Yoh. However, something inside was pulling him towarda Yoh, as if there was this huge magnetic field pulling them together. Currently, Yoh was staring into his eyes searching for something. He searched for any exposed emotion. However Hao's face was blank.
"I'm going to be honest I'm not sure myself why I'm speaking with you. But you intrigue me very much Yoh, and I like you. You're different from everyone else" Hao replied. Yoh looked into his eyes and tried to find any hint of dishonesty. However he found none.
Yoh smiled as he acknowledged Hao's words. Hao may seem like an annoying pop star at first, but once you get to know him he really is a good guy.
"And of course you have an amazing body Yoh" Hao smirked.
Yoh's smile immediately vanished, and got replaced by a pink tint of colour on his cheeks.
DAMN! He always does this to me! URGH such a flirt! Yoh thought, and mentally slapped himself.
"Not funny Hao, anyway what are you doing here? I thought you was going to go 'have some fun" Yoh asked, suddenly curious of Hao's answer.
Hao layed down on Yoh's bed, while Yoh was just sitting there hugging his knees awaiting for Hao's reply. That moment felt like it could go on forever. He somehow got lost in a trance, where nothing else mattered but that relaxing moment.
"Well, after you left I asked Boro Boro and Ren to see if they wanted to go out somewhere, but they seemed to busy arguing over something which I had no idea what, so I decided to keep Pirika company but she had to work. So I stayed in Horo Horo's room and eventually got bored. So after I heard you came back I came here, your company feels nice." Hao said, while staring at the ceiling and studying it's various patterns.
"Oh... Okay" Yoh replied.
There was a silence between them but it wasn't awkward. In a way it felt very relaxing. Hao was still laying on Yoh's bed, while Yoh was just sitting next to him eating an orange. Yes he is obsessed with oranges.
Suddenly, Yoh's suite door opened. Horo Horo and Ren both walked in, and joined the two brunette's on the bed, making the double bed very crowded.
"Dude, Chocolove just called me and told me that he saw Anna and Lyserg in that new Cafe down the street" Horo Horo told Hao.
Hao's face darkened a little bit. He heard rumours that Anna was cheating on him but decided not to do anything until he caught her.
"Hao, you should just break up with her, she doesn't do you much good anyway" Ren said. Ren's attention turned to Yoh, who was currently admiring the orange in his hand.
"Baka" Ren murmured.
"I don't know what to do anymore. I mean it's kind of getting boring now too. Do you know how many times she came onto me and tried to have sex with me. I mean sure sex is amazing but not with her" Hao said disgustingly.
Yoh's ears began flicking when he heard the term 'sex'.
"Are you guys talking about Anna?" Yoh asked, suddenly engaging himself in the conversation.
"Yeah dude why you asking?" Horo Horo asked.
Yoh's face dropped and he was suddenly interested in twiddling his thumbs. He didn't want to tell Hao that he saw Anna making out with some dude in the cafe.
Hao realised Yoh's uneasiness and figured that Yoh knew something. Ren noticed this too while Horo Horo was just a confused donkey.
"Oh I see, Yoh you know something?" Horo Horo asked. Ren shook his head at the fact that it took Horo Horo so long to realise that Yoh was hiding something.
"Nah, why w-would I know anything about A-Anna" Yoh said while stumbling upon his words.
"Yoh just tell me" Hao said seriously. He looked Yoh straight in the eye.
Yoh swallowed hard at the uncomfortable stare that Hao gave him and figured that it's best to just tell him.
"Well, when I went for a walk to look around I spotted this cafe and Anna was there with some green haired guy" Yoh began.
"AHA I knew it Hao!" Horo Horo yelled, while grinning in triumph.
"Wait that's not it" Yoh said.
All of a sudden he received interested stares from the group. He breathed in and resumed.
"Well, first I saw her sitting on the guy's lap saying something to him" Yoh said and swallowed hard.
Hao's eyes turned into slits. He was kind of pissed off about it.
"And then they began making out" Yoh finished. He was very uncomfortable right now. It felt like he just revealed the biggest secret in the world. It didn't feel right to see Hao look sad or depressed because of a girl.
Man, what's gotten into me! Yoh mentally slapped himself.
All stares turned to look at Hao, whose face was just dark. Suddenly, he began laughing like a maniac, earning confused and terror stares from guys.
They all sweat dropped watching Hao act so mental.
"Ahh It's okay guys. Now I finally have a reason to break up with her!" Hao said quickly and took out his phone.
He typed something in, and resumed looking at the guys.
"Let me guess, you broke up with her in a text didn't you?" Ren asked smirking.
"Ah, you know me too well Ren, Hao said while putting his arm around Ren's shoulder.
Yoh didn't know why, but he felt jealous. Seeing Hao act like that with Ren, made Yoh want to be closer to Hao.
The weekend went by pretty quickly. Yoh hung out with the guy's, and found their company very enjoyable. However, he was always the one stopping Horo Horo and Ren from killing each other.
On Monday, Yoh went to school with Horo Horo since they both lived in the same building. However Horo Horo and Pirika didn't just have another hotel suite. They had a separate part of the hotel to themselves. Kind of like a little cottage house and it was very cosy and loveable.
Most of Yoh's lessons consisted of Hao joining him. At this point Yoh didn't mind since they were technically friends now, however there were moments where he felt uneasy around Hao.
Lunch came by quickly, and Yoh joined the guy's on their usual bench. Yoh received various stares from everyone in the school. Hao's crowd was the popular crowd, and seeing someone new enter their 'clique' was not something you see every day.
As everyone was eating their lunch and joking around, Hao's hair was suddenly pulled by someone.
Horo Horo, Ren and Yoh sweat dropped. Pulling Hao's hair is like asking yourself for a death wish!
Hao mouthed the word 'AOW' and turned around to see who dared to touch his precious locks.
However he found no other than Anna, standing there fuming and about to explode.
"ANNA! What the?" Hao yelled, as he just acknowledged what she did.
"You! YOU BASTARD! HOW DARE YOU BREAK UP WITH ME! AND IN A TEXT" Anna yelled, and slapped Hao hard across the cheek.
"Anna chill, You were the one having fun with Diethel in that Cafe" Ren said, trying to help Hao.
"SHUT UP TAO! This has nothing to-" She stopped as she noticed the new addition to the group.
Anna smirked and walked over to Yoh and crushing their lips together. Yoh's eyes went wide, as he tried to push Anna off.
"WHAT THE FUCK!" Hao yelled, as he pushed Anna of off Yoh, watching her fall to the ground.
"I KNEW IT! YOU DUMPED ME FOR THIS KID!" Anna yelled even louder, gaining attention from everyone, as they started crowding round their group.
Everyone became silent as they heard what Anna said. Hao stopped moving, Ren and Horo Horo sweat dropped, and Yoh stood there in shock.
All of a sudden, Hao once again began to laugh like a maniac, and Anna started fuming, getting pissed off with Hao's mockingly laugh.
"You amuse me dear Anna. In a way you are right I did dump you for Yoh here. But that's because Yoh at least has time to listen me out. No me and him are not going out. But he is a good friend, one that you will never be. The only reason you even call these puppets around you your 'friends' is because they are afraid of you. True friendship is earned by trust not fear or bribing. I guess you just earned yourself a new reputation loner" Hao said to Anna.
Everyone stood there in shock at Hao's words. They would have never expected Hao to say such wise words.
Yoh blushed and smiled at his comment, mentally remembering and reminiscing the compliments he received from Hao just second's ago.
Anna smirked
"Alright then, let's make it official" Anna said.
Hao was confused by what she meant, and watched her get on top of the bench and was afraid what was going to come next.
"Ladies and dudes. Your famous Hao Akiro here, is proclaimed Gay!" Anna yelled.
Soon everyone could her various gasps from everyone around the campus. Some people fell to the floor anime style, while Yoh and Ren looked worriedly at Hao.
Hao smirked and climbed on top of the bench and stood next to Anna.
"Yep, that's right people. I am gay, are you all happy now. Good so girl's don't even try it, and guys... well no comment" Hao smirked and watched Anna fume.
Every chance she had to destroy Hao, was ruined because Hao still outnumbered her.
Anna walked off the bench angrily, and clicked her fingers alerting her 'friends' to follow her. Her puppets went right after her and Hao began chuckling.
"Wow Hao, I never figured You'd admit to that" Ren said smiling at Hao.
"DUDE! YOU'RE GAY! OH MY!" Horo Horo began overreacting, and started shooting out random questions.
Hao muted him out and turned towards Yoh who was sitting their quietly.
He scooted over, and whispered into Yoh so only Yoh could hear it.
"I hope you didn't get too embarrassed by my words Yoh" Hao asked.
Yoh shivered as he heard Hao's husky voice. He hated it when Hao whispered into him. It drove him mad. His hormones were alerted and he tried to hide the staining blush on his cheeks.
"It's alright Hao, I'm just glad you're okay" Yoh said, avoiding eye contact with him.
Hao smirked, and figured Yoh was avoiding him. He dropped it and turned towards Ren, who looked angry,
"Hey Ren are you okay?" Hao asked.
He didn't like it too much when the Tao seemed angry. Ren was his true friend from the very beginning, so he stood by his side whenever he could.
"I'm fine" Ren said, and smirked. He put a mask over his face. He didn't know why but he felt a strange attraction towards the brunette.
Not Hao, Yoh.
Yoh was on his mind constantly. He enjoyed his company and his carefree smile. It was creepy to look at Yoh since he resembled Hao A LOT! But Ren brushed it off and admired the short haired brunette.
The week went by and the guy's were the best of friends. Even Ren began to set a truce between him and Horo Horo. However Yoh insisted it was not needed, since their daily fighting routine represented their care for each other.
It was Friday and Music lesson just ended which meant it was time for lunch. As everyone sat around their bench, Horo Horo began asking questions.
"DUDE! You said we're gona sleep over round your house and watch that new movie you got on DVD" Horo Horo said.
Hao raised his eyebrow and remembered that they did plan it. Immediately his mind shifted to Yoh as he remembered Yoh had not met his mother yet.
"Alright do you guys wanna do it tonight" Hao asked.
"Yeah why not" Ren replied.
"Yoh?" Ren asked.
Yoh thought about it and agreed.
"Sure, but I never met your parents Hao" Yoh said, slightly afraid.
"No worries, I know you're from Japan and my mum loves Japanese kids, she'll probably stuff you until you explode" Hao stated.
The group began laughing, and after school walked towards Hao's house.
Hao's house was in fact a mansion. If you began to speak all you could hear is an echo of your voice.
"Jheeze Hao, this place is awesome" Yoh said as he walked around.
"Hehe Yeah I know, oh wait lemme call my mom so she can meet yo MOOM!" Hao yelled.
Yoh noticed Horo Horo and Ren fighting over the remote control. He shook his head a glanced around the room. Some of the paintings that hung on the cream coloured walls were truly works of art.
"Mom this is Yoh" Yoh heard Hao call out.
Yoh turned around, only to hear a crash. He spotted a beautiful woman with long dark hair, and a tray of spilled tea on the floor in front of her.
Suddenly, Yoh's heart stopped beating.
Hao was confused, why his mother just dropped that nicely made tea. He glanced over to Yoh, and found Yoh stare in shock.
Everyone in the room was silent. All that could be heard was the woman's footsteps inching closer towards Yoh. Yoh stared in shock.
Wait, she looks... Familiar Yoh thought.
Soon the woman was standing merely inches away from Yoh. She had tears in her eyes. They freely began streaming down her cheeks.
"Oh My... Yoh I can't believe it's you" The woman said as she put her palm on Yoh's cheek.
Yoh leaned into the touch and touched the woman's hand with his.
It all soon clicked together.
"Mother..." Yoh whispered. The woman began to sob quietly and hugged Yoh.
Yoh embraced the woman and held her tight. Tears were streaming down his cheeks, and he was so happy. He found his family.
Hao was standing there in shock. He didn't move or talk. He wasn't even sure if he was breathing.
"My son's are both here, Oh god you are so handsome just like your brother!" The woman said with excitement while running her hands all around Yoh's face.
Horo Horo and Ren were sitting there on the couch with their jaw's wide open. Both of them glanced towards Hao.
Hao had his fists clenched, and fought back the tears that wanted to let go.
"Hao come here, meet your twin brother" The woman motioned for Hao to come over.
Hao's legs were moving without his permission. Yoh was staring into his eyes, while Hao did the same.
They were both standing opposite each other and no one said a word. A deathly silence was slicing through the tension.
Hao clenched his fists together. He grabbed Yoh by the shirt and pushed him against the wall.
"YOU FUCKING BASTARD! DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT YOU AND YOUR PRECIOUS FATHER DID TO ME AND MY MOTHER" Hao started screaming.
The woman began crying as she watched the scene. For some reason she couldn't move to stop the explosion.
"YOU HAD NO IDEA DID YOU! YOUR FATHER LEFT ME AND MOM BY OURSELVES." Hao was screaming and tears were constantly streaming down his cheeks.
Yoh was staring at him, but showed no shock. He knew exactly what Hao was talking about and he fought back the tears that were about to fall down his cheeks.
Hao began punching him in the face.
"YOU BASTARD! I HATE YOU AND YOUR FATHER. MY MOTHER WORKED HER WHOLE LIFE TO KEEP MY HAPPY AND HEALTHY. WE USED TO SLEEP ON THE STREETS BECAUSE YOU'RE FATHER TOOK ALL THE MONEY! SHE GOT DISOWNED BY HER OWN FAMILY" Hao was still punching Yoh in the face and Yoh took every hit.
Ren and Horo Horo got into action and held him back, but there was no success. Hao was still punching Yoh. Yoh's face was bruised by now.
"WE HAD NO FOOD, IT WAS ONLY ME AND HER. I HATE YOU YOH! I HATE YOU SO MUCH! YOUR STUPID FATHER LEFT ME AND MOM. DO YOU KNOW MUCH THAT HURT. ONCE IN SCHOOL, WE HAD THIS EVENT TO BRING OUR FATHER INTO SCHOOL AND SAY WHY WE LOOK UP TO HIM. AND GUESS WHAT? I DIDN'T HAVE A FATHER TO BRING THAT DAY. I GOT LAUGHED UPON YOU BASTARD I HATE YOU!" Hao was still punching.
He ignored the screams and cries that his mother made. Soon his punches slowed down, and lost energy. The guys stood there trying to hold him back, while Yoh was crying silently to himself. His heart was breaking. Literally.
Hao fell to the ground on his knees, and began to sob quietly. His face was in his hands, and his whole body was trembling.
His mother let out silent cries, Yoh stood there with shame written all over his face, and the guys just felt awkward and scared. Especially Ren. He never saw Hao this angry.
Hao stood up, and walked outside silently. Yoh didn't even dare to watch him leave. He figured he'd give him space and sort it out later. This HAD to be sorted out.
Yoh walked towards his mother and put a hand on her shoulder.
"He'll be fine mother, just give him some space" He said and smiled at her.
Her heart fluttered as she heard him say 'mother' she felt very happy to have her son back.
"Come on Yoh, let's get you cleaned up" Ren said, as he dragged Yoh into the kitchen.
Hao climbed onto the roof, and laid down. He had to clear his mind. Yoh being his brother was a huge shock. As well as the hatred for his father came. He figured he didn't really hate Yoh, he just hated their father and all the emotion just exploded their and there.
In a way he felt guilty for punching Yoh. He hoped that Yoh was okay.
Hao put his hands behind his head, and watched the clouds flow by swiftly. Clouds, nature and stars always cleared his mind. He wished he could be as free like them. Sometimes he just wants to escape and fly. Like that's possible!
He began to cry to himself. Hao felt really bad for what happened downstairs. He probably hurt his mother a lot for it.
The sun began to set, and Hao felt a fluttering in his stomache. He loved watching the sunset. Seeing the colours mix together to create different shades of orange, yellow, red, purple, and pink was a magnificent sight to see.
His heart suddenly stopped as he felt someone approach him. Hao looked behind him, and saw Yoh climb onto the roof, with a rather bruised face.
Yoh sat down lied down next to him, but kept his distance.
Both brothers' were just looking at the sun setting. None said a word. However it didn't matter if they said anything, this presence felt almost relaxing to them.
"I went out a week ago to the local community centre to find anyone under the name of Asakura here. And guess what? I found none. My main mission was to come to London and find you and mom. Dad told me you guys would be here" Yoh began.
Hao didn't say a thing, and was listening carefully to what Yoh was saying.
"My whole life I wanted to find you and mom. Whenever I spoke of it to dad I would either get a lecture or a beating" Yoh continued.
Hao was surprised. Beating was harsh, and shouldn't be intended.
"However Dad was a great man, he taught me so much. I didn't want to join the Army or anything, I wanted a normal carefree life. But of course I was the only Asakura from this generation to continue the tradition so I had to" Yoh said.
Hao was not looking at him. He still stared at the sunset. He felt better by having Yoh explain to him why he came back. He still felt guilty for punching him so he didn't dare to look at his face.
"I didn't know when to set out on this journey. I never got a real education so I figured I'd get one here. I knew father would never let me go look for you guys" Yoh began the explanation.
"So I decided to go find you guys when he died" Yoh finished.
Hao stopped moving and blinked twice. He turned to look at Yoh and saw him smiling at him.
"H-He died?" Hao asked, all of a sudden his throat got dry.
"Yeah, some men killed him. I had no family left after that I had to find you guys. I really wanted to bring the family back" Yoh said, and grinned at him.
He's acting like I did absolutely nothing to him, BAKA Hao thought.
Hao moved closer towards Yoh and sat up. Yoh did the same and they just stared into each other's identical eyes as the sun settled.
Hao touched Yoh's cheek with his hand, and fought back the tears the stung his eyes.
"I'm really sorry about before. I didn't mean to-"He was cut off when Yoh embraced him.
Hao was shocked. His arms without warning braced themselves around Yoh's figure.
"Thank You Onii-chan" Yoh whispered.
Hao's heart stopped. He could not believe Yoh called him 'Onii chan'. Hao started crying and his heart beat faster.
Yoh looked into his red eyes and smiled. He whipped the tears with his thumb and flashed him his trademark grin.
"Baka" Hao said and stood up.
Yoh giggled and ran after him.
The morning sun peeked through the red curtains of Hao Akiro's room. His eyes fluttered open and he looked around his room.
But something was stopping him from getting up. He noticed a sleeping figure laying on his chest.
Hao smiled and remembered that Yoh fell asleep on him yesterday night when they watched 'Insidious'.
Yoh's eyebrow started furrowing, and his breathing quickened. Hao tilted his head to the side and wondered what was happening to Yoh.
"No..." Yoh muttered in his sleep, slightly moving his head.
"No...No...NOOOOOO" Yoh started screaming and fell of the bed.
Hao looked down at Yoh in surprise and saw that he was still asleep.
"NO GIVE IT BACK. DON'T HURT IT NOOO!" Yoh screamed.
Hao was panicking. Yoh looked as if he was having a seizure.
"NOO NOOO MY ORANGES!" Yoh screamed, knocking the table lamp with hand.
Hao sweat dropped, and fell to the floor anime style.
Ren woke up, with his guan dao in his hand.
"WHAT? WHO DIED? NOBODY MOVE" Ren yelled, as he got into a fighting position and accidentally stepped on Horo Horo's stomache.
"AHHH! GET OFF ME YOU MONSTER! AHHH" Horo Horo screamed.
Hao shook his head. What a great way to wake up.
"AHHHHH! HELP THEM HELP!" Yoh screamed.
Horo Horo rushed to Yoh's side and picked him up by his shoulders.
"BREATHE YOH! AH BREATH DUDE! HAO HE'S NOT BREATHING HE'S DYING!" Horo Horo yelled as he still shook Yoh by the shoulder.
The door burst open, and in there stood Yoh and Hao's mother with a baseball bat in her hand.
"WHAT HAPPENED? DON'T MOVE" She yelled, as she got into a pounding position.
Everyone turned to look at the mother and fell to the floor. Really a mother with a baseball bat? That's not something you see every day.
Suddenly Yoh's eyes fluttered open and he took in his surroundings.
"YOH ARE YOU OKAY?" His mother rushed up to him and checked over his body for any damage.
"YES IM FINE! BUT SOMEONE WANTED TO STEAL MY PRECIOUS ORANGES!" Yoh yelled, throwing his hands in the air.
Hao slapped his forhead. His brother is really stupid.
"Mom he's fine, he just had a bad dream" Hao said calmly, shoving the woman away from suffocating Yoh with the hug.
"BAKA! You woke me up! I actually thought something was wrong with you!" Ren yelled frustratingly, as he placed his guan dao back into place.
"DUDE! I THOUGHT YOU WERE DYING" Horo Horo said, hugging Yoh, almost squeezing his insides out.
"WELL I KINDA WAS! SOMEONE WAS STEALING MY ORANGES!" Yoh yelled.
SMACK!
"AOW! What was that for?" Yoh screamed as he turned to his brother.
"That was for waking everyone up by screaming 'oranges oranges!'" Hao said calmly, and crossed his arms.
"Not nice Onii-chan" Yoh replied and rubbed his head.
Their mother's heart began to flutter as she acknowledged what Yoh called Hao. She was so happy that the family was back together.
"Alright, breakfast will be made soon, so go get dressed and come down to eat" Their mother said and left the room with a hurry.
In the next half an hour, everyone was able to get dressed, after banging on the door when Horo Horo was in the bathroom, which seemed to be taking ages in there.
Hao was in his room sitting in front of his mirror and brushed his hair evenly. The long haired brunette took great care of his hair, and made sure it was always evenly brushed out.
As he was brushing his hair, the door opened and Yoh stood there looking at Hao.
Hao turned to look at Yoh and smirked.
"What now, orange-head?" Hao asked.
Yoh's eyes went wide and he started laughing.
"WOW cool nickname onii-chan" Yoh said.
"What do you want Yoh, I'm very busy with my beautiful hair right now" Hao said as he resumed to brushing his hair.
"Do you have a spare hair tie? My hair gets in the way a lot" Yoh asked politely.
Without warning, Hao threw a hair tie at Yoh's face, and Yoh caught it.
"Thanks Hao" Yoh said as he walked out of the room.
Yoh looked for a mirror and noticed there was a long mirror in the middle of the bedroom hallway. He stood opposite the mirror and began tying up his hair. After he was done he felt someone else's presence nearby and he looked around. He turned around and found Ren standing behind him.
"AH! Ren you scared me!" Yoh yelled as he held onto his heart.
"Sorry Yoh" Ren said.
They stared at each other for some time until Ren broke the silence.
He didn't break the silence with speech. But with a kiss.
He pressed his lips firmly onto Yoh's and began kissing him passionately. Yoh's eyes went wide, and he struggled to push of the Tao of off him.
Hao walked out of his bedroom door, whistling a random melody. Then his heart stopped and his body froze.
There was Ren kissing Yoh, and Yoh trying to push away.
The next thing was a blur. All Yoh remembered was seeing Hao punch Ren with full force.
"TAO! How dare you!" Hao yelled.
Ren got up, straightened out his clothes, and left the house in a hurry.
"WHAT THE HELL! He won't even explain himself!" Hao yelled.
"Onii-chan it's okay" Yoh whispered.
Hao looked up to look at Yoh. Yoh's face was so gentle. His facial features were soft, and his eyes were like swirls of chocolate. Hao truly did not see any resemblance between them.
"Are you okay Yoh" Hao whispered quietly, so only Yoh could hear it.
Yoh nodded, and Hao embraced Yoh. The hug wasn't just a show of affection. It was a sign for Hao. A sign, that he will protect Yoh at all costs. Yoh felt so warm in Hao's arms. He could stay there forever if he could.
Yoh broke off the hug and looked into Hao's eyes. Their faces were merely inches away from each other. Yoh couldn't control himself and began leaning in closer and closer. Hao's senses seemed to shut down and some uncontrollable force made him inch closer as well.
"YOH! HAO! Breakfast is ready" Their mother called.
Both twins immediately backed away and blushed. Hao sighed and motioned for Yoh to walk downstairs with him.
