Let's Go Traveling! LONDON!

"Explain." Was what Yoh heard first thing in the morning.

Yoh sat up and looked at Hao, who was sitting on his bed while pointing at something behind Yoh with a pout on his face. "What?" Yoh asked with a blink as he looked behind him to see Kugou, in Ninetails Fox form, stood up on all four and yawned, "Oh." He turned back to Hao and shot him a very big grin, "She is Kugou, my Guardian Spirit!" He said cheerfully.

Hao pouted more at Yoh, "She stole you from me." He grumbled unhappily.

"Oh please." Yoh chuckled before he tackled Hao into a hug, making them fell to the bed, "There's nothing and no one in this world that could make me love them more than you".

"What about Orange?" Hao countered with narrowed eyes.

Yoh laughed, "Are you jealous at an Orange?" He asked as he nuzzling his face to Hao's neck, "Don't be silly, I may love Orange, but I love you more".

Hao sighed and leaned his head on top of Yoh's, "I lose you once, I don't want to lose you again." He whispered softly as he closed his eyes, the memory of his Second life filling his mind.

Yoh sat up and frowned at Hao, "I don't remember what happened, but you shouldn't think about it anymore." He said sternly.

Hao sat up and looked at Yoh, he opened his mouth to say that he couldn't help but remember it when a chuckle reached his ears. He looked at the Fox to see that the Fox had turned into a girl with nine Fox tails, "What?" He demanded, he forgot that the Fox was there.

"Nah, it's just so cute to see a 1000 years old Onmyouji get along with his Baby Brother so well." Kugou answered with a grin, "I couldn't help but compared this scene with the you from 1000 years ago." She shook her head while shrugging, "The composed Asakura Hao from the past now had changed into an easily pouting brat- kya!" She jumped to avoided a fireball that was suddenly shot at her.

Hao growled, "Say that again and I will feed you to Spirit of Fire." He threatened.

Kugou grinned, "You can't do that." She said cheekily, "I'm stronger than your Spirit of Fire, don't you know that I'm a God Class Spirit?".

"I know." Hao grumbled as he stood up, "Let's go, Yoh, I'm hungry".

"I want Orange Pancake!" Yoh said cheerfully as he jumped from the bed and changed his Night Yukata to a daily one, Hao did the same while Kugou looked away from them.

"Good Morning." Luna greeted them when they arrived downstairs.

"Morning." Hao and Yoh answered together.

"Hello there!" Kugou greeted cheerfully.

Luna blinked, "Who is she?" She asked as she looked at Kugou.

"Her name is Kugou, my Guardian Spirit." Yoh told her before sniffing the air, "Hm, it's smell nice, what are you making, Mom?".

"I heard what you said, so I'm making Pancake now." Luna answered with a warm smile.

"Yay! Pancake!" Yoh cheered and dragged Hao to the Dinning table and sat down on his usual spot, Hao sat down beside Yoh before Yoh started snuggling at Hao.

Luna finished making Breakfast and they ate together, "Mom." Hao said after a few moment, "I and Yoh will go for a while".

"Where to?" Luna asked curiously.

Yoh grinned, "Hao-niichan said that he would take me to see the world when I have my own Guardian Spirit!" He explained cheerfully, "I have Kugou now, so we are going to traveling around the world!".

Luna smiled and nodded, "Alright, when are you going to go?" She asked calmly.

"As soon as Yoh find a medium for Kugou and could perform an Oversoul." Hao answered.

"Oh, I already got the medium and could perform an Oversoul." Yoh answered cheerfully, "I was kind of bored yesterday, so while waiting for you to come home, I trained with Kugou".

Hao smiled, "Then we could go today." He said with a nod.

Luna pouted, "Well, I would get lonely without you here." She then grinned, "So, before you go, let's go buy some mobile phones so we could still talk to each other during your traveling".

And thus, after Hao and Yoh finished packing whatever they need and want to bring with them, they went to buy a mobile phone for each of them and Luna. "You understand how to use them, right?" Luna asked after they got out of the shop.

"Yup, it's easy enough." Hao and Yoh answered together as they exchange numbers with each other and then with Luna, "We are off!".

"Be careful." Luna waved at them before the twins run off to an empty alleyway.

"Ready?" Hao asked Yoh as he offered a hand.

"Yup." Yoh answered and accepted the hand before they were engulfed with fire, and the next thing they know, they had arrived in an empty alley of a city in the middle of a heavy rain, "What the?!".

"We arrived at a wrong time it seems." Hao commented as he held Yoh's hand in his left hand before walking out of the alley.

"Nee, Nii-chan." Yoh called as he looked around, "If you can teleport, why didn't you use it yesterday? And where are we?".

"Luna has a weak heart. If I use teleportation, it would be dangerous for her." Hao answered softly, "And we are in London, let's find a hotel first".

"Do you have the money?" Yoh asked in surprise.

Hao smirked, "Of course, you can say that I'm one of the richest people in the world, this is my Third life anyway." He said smugly, "Just leave everything to me".

"That's my Nii-chan!" Yoh said cheerfully.

Hao grinned and held Yoh's hand, "Don't let go, it's dangerous for children here, we have to stay together, alright?" He asked seriously, Yoh nodded in answer, "Good." He said and led the way.

They arrived in the hotel and Hao went to the receptionist, "Hello Little Boy, is there something that I can help you with?" The woman behind the counter asked.

Hao's eyebrow twitched, I'm not little, he thought in his head with a scowl on his face before sighing, Oh well, my body is that of a small kid anyway. "Is there a Single room available?" Hao asked calmly.

The woman blinked, "Where's your parent, boy?" She asked in confusion.

Hao glared at her, "Is renting a room need to have a parent with me?" He demanded angrily, "I have the money so just prepare the room".

The woman frowned, "You didn't steal the money, did you?" She asked suspiciously.

Hao bristled and nearly yelled at the woman but Yoh placed a hand on his shoulder, he looked at Yoh to see his Brother was smiling at him, 'Let me talk to her.' Yoh told him telepathically, he sighed and nodded.

Yoh looked up at the woman and smiled, "Miss, our parents are away in a business trip, they told us to stay in a hotel for a few days until they return." He lied to the woman, "Could you please tell us if there's a Single room that we could rent? Mom gave us the money, so don't worry." He then sent a cute pout at her, "Or you don't believe me?" He asked with quivering lips.

The woman gasped at the cute sight, "No, no! Of course I believe you!" She then began typing, "There's a room available at the 3rd floor, please tell me your name and how long you do you want to rent the room".

"Haruyama Hao and Haruyama Yoh." Hao answered right away, "We will rent the room for 2 nights".

"Alright." The woman said and looked at Hao, "It's 150.000 Dollar*for two nights".

(*AN : I don't know how much it would cost actually, so I just pick a number and get done with it)

Hao reached into his bag and pulled out a wallet, he pulled a debit card and gave it to her, the woman took it and a few seconds later she looked at Hao again, "Your parent told you the PIN, right?" Hao nodded, "Good, can you climbed up the counter so you can enter it?" He smirked and jumped onto the counter, earning a gasp of shock from the woman, he looked at her with a raised eyebrow, "Oh, right, type the PIN here." She turned the device around so he could type it, so he did and waited for her to finish what she was doing. "Okay, here is your debit card and the key to your room. The room number 65 at 3rd floor near the escalator." She handed him the key and the card, Hao took them and jumped off the counter.

He put the card back into his wallet before putting the said walled into his bag, "Let's go, Yoh." He said to his Brother, Yoh grinned and took Hao's hand again before they walked to their room. They got to the front of the room and Hao unlocked it, they entered the room then Hao locked the door again. "Let's have a bath first, or we could catch a cold." Hao suggested.

"Can we have bubble bath?!" Yoh asked excitedly.

Hao chuckled and nodded, "Bubble bath with fragrance." He replied with a fond smile, "Go and prepare it, I will prepare us clean clothes".

"Okay!" Yoh said with a big grin and went to the bathroom right away.

After they have their bath, in which Yoh decided to think it fun to splash Hao with water, which ended up creating a big mess in the bathroom after a war of water splash, Hao and Yoh decided to go around the town to see what was there in London. Thankfully, the rain had stopped even though the sky was still covered in grey clouds.

"Nii-chan! I want that Orange shape candy!" Yoh cried out as soon as he saw a candy store.

Hao merely chuckled and nodded, they went to the store and bought the candy before going around the town again. "Yoh, do you hungry?" Hao asked after a few hours or walking around.

"Yeah, I'm hungry." Yoh said in agreement, before someone bumped into them, "Ouch!".

"Yoh, are you alright?" Hao asked in worry before noticing that his bag had disappeared, he gasped and turned around, "Thief!" He yelled in anger and gave a chase right away. Indeed, the man who had bumped into them had taken Hao's bag with him.

Yoh saw Hao ran after the thief and followed suit, Hao was annoyed that a child's body, no matter how old the soul inside, was still a child's body, he had a hard time chasing after the thief. It's not like he cared about what was inside his bag, he could always replace them easily, it's just Hao was a prideful and stubborn person, he would never let someone took something from him and get away with it. Normally, he would burned the man already, but he didn't want to do something that would get his location known to those who heard about the him 500 years ago and want to kill him in this time around.

'Nii-chan! There's a corner ahead, let's split up and caught him in the middle!' Yoh said telepathically after reading the city's geological lay out using some Earth manipulation technique that Hao taught him once, he also sent the lay out to Hao through his mind.

'He would most likely attack you later, so I will go, you keep chasing him from behind.' Hao sent back and turned around into the alleyway on his right side and teleported to the other end of the alleyway ahead of the thief.

He waited until he could hear the man's running footsteps before he ran out of the alleyway and blocked the man's way, and just as he predicted, the man throw a kick at him to get him out of the man's way. He jumped to avoid the kick and aim his own kick to the man, he kicked the man's face and successfully making him stumbled back, Yoh then use that chance to sliding tackle the man which causing the man to fell to the hard ground.

Hao marched to the man and snatched back his bag, "This is mine!" He snarled angrily at the man.

The man growled and pulled something from his pocket, he then pointed the item, which turned out to be a pocket knife, to Hao in a threatening manner, "Give it to me." He demanded with a hiss.

Hao raised an eyebrow and raised a hand, ready to make an Oversoul to knock the man unconscious, when a blur of something went passed him from behind and kicked the knife away from the thief. That something turned out to be a green haired man wearing a mantle and a detective hat, the green haired man then kicked the thief straight at the stomach, making the thief thrown backwards and stay still on the spot he landed.

The green haired man turned to them, "Are you two alright, Kids?" He asked in friendly tone.

Hao scowled and looked away, "Don't call me a kid." He said with a huff before looking at the man in the eyes, "And for your information, I can beat him up easily, so don't expect- Oof!" He yelped when Yoh elbowed him, "What?" He asked in annoyance to his Little Brother.

"He helped us, even though it was unneeded, we still have to at least thank him." Yoh said sternly before smiling at the man, "Thank you for helping us, Sir!" He said cheerfully.

The man smiled, "You're welcome." He answered before looking at Hao, "How would you be able to beat him, Boy?" He asked curiously.

"Don't you know already? You are a Shaman." Hao answered with a scowl, annoyed that Yoh elbowed him like that, no matter how much he love his Little Brother, it's still annoying when Yoh scolded him for nothing.

The man raised an eyebrow, "Ah, so you can fight with your power already." He commented before smiling in Fatherly way, or maybe in Fatherly way because Hao and Yoh didn't raised by a Father, "But it would be bad if you use your Shaman power against normal human, you will only make them fear you".

"Hao-niichan is just too hot tempered!" Yoh said cheerfully.

The man tensed when he heard the name of Hao, "You, are you Hao?" The man asked seriously as he looked at Hao intensely, "The Hao?".

Hao crossed his arms, "What if I am? Want to kill me?" He demanded as he pulled Yoh away from the man.

Yoh looked at Hao in confusion, "Why would he want to kill you?" He asked as he pointed at the man, "Do you have a bad relationship with this man?".

"It's nothing, Yoh." Hao said as he looked away, he still didn't tell Yoh what he did in his past life.

"It's not nothing." The man said in Japanese, surprising the Twins. They looked at him with wide eyes, Yoh because the man know about Hao, Hao because he didn't want for the man to tell Yoh about it, "The one you called as Big Brother here." He said to Yoh as he gestured to Hao, "Had killed many people 500 years ago in his efford to build Shaman only Kingdom." He then glared at Hao, "If you still going to do it, I'm going to kill you here and now".

Hao growled and glared back at the man, a Detective named Liam Diethel by the information he gathered from the man's mind, "Listen here, Liam." He snarled, "You better keep your damn- Ow!" He yelped again when Yoh elbowed him yet again and glared at his Little Brother, "What was that for?!".

Yoh crossed his arms and was looking at Hao sternly, "So, you hide the fact that you killed people in your past life, Hao?" He demanded.

Hao gulped, with Yoh calling him by name without addition –niichan would mean one thing only, Yoh was mad at him. "Uh, yes." He said nervously and took a step back when Yoh narrowed his eyes at him, Yoh was scary as hell when he was angry, and Hao would never want to be the receiving end of Yoh's anger. He had foolishly make that mistake in the past, and for him, once was enough, he had no intention of doing anything to make Yoh angry at him ever again.

He forgot that Yoh really hate to be kept in the dark.

"So, you hid the fact that you killed people in your past life." Yoh then gave Hao that scary smile of his, which creating an illusion of growling Dragon behind him for more effect, and stepped closer to Hao, "Tell me then, WHAT ELSE that you hide from me?".

Hao took a step back again, "Hopefully nothing." He said fearfully, forgetting the fact that Liam was standing nearby and was watching them with surprise and interest that the Hao he heard about was afraid of his own Little Brother.

"Oh, hopefully?" Yoh asked sweetly, "That's mean you still have something that you WISH to tell me before someone do the job, don't you?".

"No . . . Yoh." He lowered his head and looked up at Yoh like a little boy got scolded by his parents, "I mean . . . I was planning to tell you that, but after you are older . . .".

"You know better than to think like that, My Dear Brother." Yoh said with a sweet smile, but that dark aura was still behind him.

"But you don't remember it." Hao protested weakly with a pout, "If I told you before you are ready, there's a possibility that you will get a real bad headache and lose all your memory instead of remembering, I don't want that . . .".

Finally, the dark aura behind Yoh disappeared and he sighed, "You could warn me first, tell me that you had done something in your past life that I won't like but couldn't tell me until I'm old enough, or something." He said before crossing his arms and looked away from Hao.

"Yoh?" Hao asked as he reached a hand to take Yoh's hand, Yoh looked away from him, "Yoh, please." He said with desperation, the younger was still didn't look at him. He pouted in disappointment before, after he heard Liam chuckled, glaring daggers at the man, "I blame you for this." He hissed angrily.

"It's your own fault, Hao, not him." Yoh said coldly, making Hao flinched and pouted again.

"Alright, alright." Liam said with a chuckled, "I'm guessing that you won't kill anymore for Yoh's sake, correct?".

Hao nodded, "I just want to enjoy my life together with Yoh this time, that stupid goal I had last time was pointless anyway." He said sulkily.

"That was indeed stupid and crazy." Liam agreed, "Well, since you don't plan on doing it anymore, why don't I treat you something as an apology for causing you Brothers to have a fight?".

Yoh looked at Liam, "It's not you who caused it, you simply saying the truth, it's Nii-chan's fault for keeping me in the dark." He said before giving Hao a cute pout, "Tell me everything one day, or I will never forgive you".

"Hai~ (Yes)" Hao said in a mix of defeat and relief.

"Well, since you already offered, Liam-san." Yoh said as he looked at Liam again, with a grin this time, "I want to try Yorkshire Pudding!".

Liam smiled, "Let's go then, but before that . . ." He then looked to where the thief had fallen unconscious earlier, only to find it empty, he sighed, "He got away . . .".

"Just ignore it then." Hao said simply, "Some other people would get him anyway".

"How would you know that?" Liam asked skeptically.

Hao grinned, "Because placed a small Shikigami inside his hat." He answered cheekily, "When he steal something else, the Shikigami will make a really loud noise and attracted people's attention right away".

"Cut with the talking!" Yoh said with a pout, "I'm hungry!" He then dragged Hao, "Let's eat something first before we go to get the Yorkshire Pudding!".

Liam chuckled as he watched the once intimidating and deadly Shaman, according to the story being passed down from his Ancestors, now acting like a normal kid and being dragged along by his hyper Little Brother. He shook his head in wonderment, wondering how his normal day turned out like this, before following after the Twins.
