Little Boy

Chapter 4 ~ Fears and Caution


“Go on,” Hao said gently to Manta, holding the boy’s head close to his crotch. “It won’t bite,” he said quietly.

Manta shook his head weakly. “Please let me go,” he whimpered.

“Shh... Just let everything move naturally,” he replied with a gentle smirk. “Now come on. The sooner you start, the sooner it’s over.”

Manta whimpered softly as Hao forced his mouth open with one hand and shoved into him, causing him to choke on the shaman’s length, then began trying to pull away.

“Ah, ah, ah,” he scolded as he held Manta’s head firmly. “Don’t do that. It only makes things worse.”

Manta shot him a desperate, defiant glance and continued to struggle away. When he couldn’t break free of Hao, he bit down hard on the shaman, not knowing what else to do.

The shaman yelled in pain, then as Manta escaped him, Hao backhanded the boy to the ground and looked hatefully at him. “You have a lot of nerve,” he hissed. “It’ll cost your friends’ lives though.”

Manta looked back at him angrily. “You have to beat them, first!”

Hao ied ied the boy quietly for several longs minutes, then a slight smirk formed. “Actually... perhaps you deserve another type of punishment,” he said as the smirk became more devious.

Manta scrambled to his feet and began to run, but yelped when Hao was suddenly in front of him and soccer-kicked him into a tree. He groaned as he fell to the ground, then yelped as Hao pinned him. “Let me go!” he yelled.

Hao’s eyes narrowed, then he grabbed the small throat and began to crush it. “I told you to be quiet,” he snarled.

Manta grunted a little as Hao continued to choke him, then gasped painfully as he was released.

“Hmm...” He studied the trembling body, then looked darkly into Manta’s eyes. “Did you know that even if Yoh is my other half, I still feel as if he were like a brother?”

Manta looked at him with confusion.

“Yoh wants you. He almost has you. Because of it, I want sole possession of you. But since you were bad, I don’t want you. That’s not to say I’m about to let Yoh be happy nor let you go unpunished.”

“I... I don’t understand,” Manta said shakily, then cried out as Hao let one hand grasp between his legs tightly and began to squeeze.

“Hmm... You’re undeveloped,” he commented. “I guess you’re a little slower with your size, huh?” He grinned and squeezed harder, enjoying Manta’s cries of pain. “Well then. You were bad, so you don’t get to be happy,” he sneered. “‘Little Brot wil will have to just deal with a broken toy.”

“Manta, wake up!” Yoh cried. “Please!”

“N... No.... Stop...” Manta whimpered as the shaman shook his small frame gently.

“Manta, it’s me! Wake up!”

Blue eyes fluttered open after a moment and stared at Yoh with alienation, then slowly Manta fell back to sleep.

“Is he alright?” Amidamaru asked.

Yoh watched his tiny love with a fearful expression. Minutes earlier Amidamaru had awaken him. He was greeted with a trembling Manta, who gasped so softly that Yoh never would have heard him while sleeping. Tears stained the pale face, and Yoh felt his heart sink. “Manta-chan... What is your sadness?” he whispered softly while running a hand through the soft hair. “You’re so innocent... What would make you so pained?”

Amidamaru frowned quietly. “I’ll go let Mosuke know.”

“Okay... Amidamaru? Arigato.”

“Daijobu,” he replied quietly, then disappeared.

Yoh laid down while cuddling Manta tenderly, watching the boy sleep. “Why do you dream so terribly?” he whispered, then after a while drifted into dreamless slumber.

Faust yawned as he stretched his arms and legs. The morning sun had nearly blinded him minutes before, but he had quickly recovered. He looked towards the door curiously hearing a knock, then walked over and opened it. “Yoh-kun? What’s wrong?” he asked, finding the brunette standing there with a worried expression. “It’s Manta...”

Soon they had returned to Yoh’s room. Manta sat in the corner, leaning against the wall and staring off into space.

“I woke up and he was just sitting like that,” Yoh said quietly. “I tried to talk to him, but he wouldn’t let me near him.”

Faust knelt down and studied Manta worriedly. “Manta?”

The boy slowly looked up, then raised his arms to show he wanted to be held.

Faust quickly obliged and rubbed the small back gently. “Manta? Was it a bad dream?”

Manta nodded slightly, then buried his face into Faust’s shoulder.

Faust looked at him curiously. “Why wouldn’t you talk to Yoh? Was he in the nightmare?”

Manta shook his head.

Yoh looked at him worriedly, then blinked as Mosuke appeared.

“Manta-dono, was Hao in the dream?” the spirit asked his master.

“Hai,” Manta said meekly.

Yoh sighed in relief, now understanding Manta. “I guess I am due for a haircut,” he said thoughtfully.

Manta took a eep breath and looked slightly at Yoh, then smiled faintly. “I-It’s okay, Yoh-chan... You don’t have to. It was just a bad dream.”

“But I look like a mass murderer,” Yoh whined. “Please let me cut my hair!”

Manta blinked. “It’s your choice, Yoh-chan,” he said quietly.

“Yeas!”

Faust blinked. “Well... You two have to get ready for school now. So hop to it,” he said as he placed Manta on the floor and left the room, relief finally finding him when Manta began to giggle softly at Yoh’s childish behaviour.

Ren watched with disgust as Horo Horo ate like there was no tomorrow. “Pig,” he grumbled as he looked away.

“I’m not a pig!” Horo snapped between bites.

“Why do I even like you?” Ren muttered, then he blinked when his gaze fell on Manta, who had just entered the cafeteria. He smiled slightly, then got up and walked over to the blonde. “Hey, Manta. What’s up? Did you have a bad night?”

Manta looked at him with a tired expression. “Um... Sorta,” he replied quietly.

Ren knelt down. “Hey. Why is it you have such a small voice since the shaman tournament?” He grinned. “Afraid you made a shaman angry and he’s gonna come back for you?”

Manta looked away quickly. “No...”

Ren tilted his head, then shrugged. “Well, whatever. Anyway, you’re still coming to my place on Saturday, right?”

“Hai,” Manta replied. “Um... I noticed that nobody’s talking about it, though. How come?”

Ren nodded. “I asked everybody not to talk about it, otherwise Yoh would find out. If that happens, the surprise party isn’t a surprise anymore, now is it?”

“Well... I suppose,” Manta said thoughtfully, then looked up with a smile. “Okay then,” he said cheerfully. He blinked, then became stalk still as Ren placed a hand on the side of his face. He stood there quietly as the Tao caressed his cheek, then finally stepped back in shock. “Um... Ren-kun... What...”

“What is going on here?” Yoh’s voice demanded.

The two looked up and saw the young Asakura glaring at Ren, who stood up and looked at him innocently. “Nothing’s going on here. I was just asking Manta something.”

Yoh frowned. “Don’t touch Manta like that again,” he said cooly.

“Nan de mo,” he replied while rolling his eyes, then walked past the two.

“Manta, what was going on?” Yoh asked as he looked to his beloved.

Manta shook his head. “He was just asking me something about this weekend.”

“What about how he was touching you?”

Manta shook his head. “I don’t know why he did that. Honest.”

Slowly Yoh nodded, then smiled. “Okay then!”

“Manta!” Anna’s voice half yelled.

Quickly the blonde turned to face her. “H-Hai?”

“Is there some particular reason I didn’t get any breakfast this morning?!”

Before Manta could start to stammer, Yoh placed a hand over his mouth. “Anna, make your own meals! Wash your own laundry! Clean up your own mess! Manta is not your slave, and you shouldn’t treat him like he is!”

Anna glared at the shaman dangerously. \"Do you truly have a deathwish, Asakura Yoh?\"

\"I don\'t know,\" Yoh giggled childishly.

Anna stared at him angrily, then sighed and walked past them, deciding her headache wasn\'t too bad to deal with him at the moment. She would deal with him later.

\"Manta, I think it\'d be best if you didn\'t come over for a couple days,\" Yoh advised worriedly. \"She\'s got the look.\"

Slowly Manta nodded. \"Okay, Yoh-chan.\"
