Chapter 22: I'll return for what's mine
Yoh sighed once again. /I can't let this pointlessness go on… This has to stop…/
mada mihatenu saki ni
ukande wa kieru maboroshi o
kono te ni suru tame
hitomi sora sazu ni
Ren glared at the elder Asakura and jumped at him. Hao smirked and slashed at him, throwing the chinese shaman back.
Ren didn't flinch. He got right back up and jumped at Hao again. "Vorpal Dance! Zhong Hua Zhan Wu!"
Hao grinned and easily dodged him again. "You're as pathetic as you were during the final battle of the Shaman Tournament!"
kurayami no mukou ni
hitosuji no hikari o shinjite
wakachi au chikara
ima toki hanatou
"We defeated you!" He yelled.
"Wrong!" Hao's eyes darkened. "It was not you, but my brother. And even then he didn't defeat me!" He threw a large jet of fire towards Ren, sending the younger boy flying into the wall.
uketsuida inochi no oku de
ikitootteiru
mamoru beki MONO-tachi he
chikai o tatete
Ren winced and slowly stood up, wiping some blood from the corner of his mouth. "But he was close. And since then you've weakened. You're no longer the ultimate shaman. You're a pathetic wanna-be version of your old self!"
Hao's body shook angrily and he slowly laughed a wicked laugh. "Ha! Me? Pathetic? What a joke Tao! The pathetic one is and always will be you! I refuse to let anyone have my brother! My other half! Yoh is MINE!" He yelled angrily, laughing evilly.
kaze yori hayaku kimi no kokoro he
suberi konde ne kosogi tsutsumitai
sora yori aoku sunda hitomi ga
mitsumeru subete o ima kanjitai
kurikaesareru tatakai no hate
shinjiru mono ga tatoe yurai demo
chikara no subete butsukariatte
umareru ai mo aru to shinjitai
Ren glared. "You've snapped Hao! You're too cocky! You're going to lose!"
"Oh no I will not!" He yelled angrily, his eyes looking like those of a mad man. "I will not lose to you!" He sent another jet of flame at Ren, sending the smaller boy flying back into the wall again.
tooku kagayaku hoshi
tatoe inochi ga tsukite itemo
nagai to ki o hete
yume o hakondeku
Ren groaned. He stood up slowly, shaking in pain. He groaned as the cold wind hit the new scratches that covered his body. He wiped his forehead, removing the blood from his eyes. He looked at the weapon in his hand, flickering with what was left of his furyoku.
Hao smirked and threw another jet of flame. "Die Tao!" He laughed.
tomadoi mo fuan mo
afure dasu namida sae
aisubeki MONO-tachi he no
chikai to nare
Hao laughed again and walked up to the barely conscious boy. "This is the end Ren. Admit it and I'll make your death less painful. I've won."
"Ren!" Horo jumped up to help his fallen friend, only to be blocked by a wall of fire.
"No one is going to help him. I've won. Yoh is mine."
"Ren! Get up! You can't let Hao win!" Horo yelled to his fallen friend.
Hao laughed again and pointed his sword directly at Ren. "It's over."
"Shockwave Buttagiri!"
Hao looked to the side for a moment before being sent flying by the red wave of energy.
nami ga hageshiku suna o saratte
subete o kaki kesu hodo ni ooshiku
tsuki ga yasashiku sugata o kaete
katari kakeru rekishi o furi kaeru
makimodosenai toki no nagare ni
nagasarete sakaratte kizutsuite
nozomi no subete kudakechittemo
umareru yume ga aru to shinjitai
Yoh walked calmly threw the wall of fire, not even flinching. "Yes Onii-chan, it is over. But it's not ending the way you want it to."
"Yoh…" Both Hao and Ren mumbled the name at once, the elder of the two slowly standing up.
Yoh looked at Ren and frowned before looking at his brother with a glare. "How dare you hurt the person I love!" He snapped.
Hao chuckled. "Yoh, it's for your own good. The Taos are such a bad family. At least with me you can get to know me."
Yoh froze. /He's right… I want to get to know him…/
"Yoh don't listen to him." Ren mumbled.
Yoh quickly shook his head. "No more mind games Onii-chan! This ends!" He ran at his brother and released another Shockwave Buttagiri.
Hao dodged the attack, yet only by a little. Yoh's unexpected attack had seriously damaged him, slowing him down.
Yoh glared. "No more of this. Halo Blade!" He yelled, releasing his most powerful attack.
kaze yori hayaku kimi no kokoro he
suberi konde ne kosogi tsutsumitai
sora yori aoku sunda hitomi ga
mitsumeru subete o ima kanjitai
kurikaesareru tatakai no hate
shinjiru mono ga tatoe yurai demo
chikara no subete butsukariatte
umareru ai mo aru to shinjitai
Hao's eyes widened and he vanished in a burst of flame. "Perhaps it's over for now but… I'll return for what's mine." He said, his voice flickering away with the wind.
The End!
