Hi guys,

in the last week I had a new idea for a story. So I wrote it down and here it is! I hope you like it. The whole plot and so is not really clear in my head but I have a general idea. So this is just a project and we all will see how far I can write this without a real plot. I hope you like it!

As always: I OWN NOTHING!

It was the morning after the big fight. Hao had lost. Yoh had won. Most shamans went home, thinking, that the great shaman Hao Asakura was dead. Only a few new the truth. After the fight, Yoh and his friends had found Hao badly wounded but not dead. They toke him with them. A few Patch doctors and Faust helped him heal. They didn't wanted him to die. They all knew that it wouldn't bring much. They wanted him to live, but not as shaman but as human without any powers.

Together they found an old parchment about how to bind the powers of a shaman. It was called Soul-Binding. First of all you gave the shaman a poison which opened the soul and then you cut a symbol over the Sakral-Chakra to stop the flow of Furiyoku and so stop the use of it.

So they did this. After they new Hao was healed enough they prepared everything.

„Yoh, you really don't want to come with us? You stopped him. You should be there when he gets his bindings." ,said Mikihisa to his son. „No, thanks, but I don't want to see that." , said Yoh to his father and the group of shamans who had prepared themselves to watch the ceremony. In this group were Yoh's friends: Lyserg, of course, Ren, with his family, who came for the final fight to help their leader, Horohoro and Anna. Also part of Yoh's family, who see that as their duty to be there and after the ceremony to take Hao with them as prisoner. Of course the X-Laws were by the ceremony too, but they weren't in the group surrounding Yoh right now. The patch, who saw the attack on their leader and the officers as overtaking of the rules, would hold the ceremony.

The only ones who didn't want to have something to do with the ceremony where Yoh's mother Keiko, Tamao, Horohoro's sister Pilika, Manta, Faust with his wife, Ryo and Yoh himself.

„Ok, Yoh." ,said Ren and turned around. „Are you coming?" ,shouted he over his shoulder to the others. After one another they turned around and began their walk to the ceremony. „Do you think it's ok?",asked Horohoro Ren. „I mean, he was the one to defeat Hao, he should be there to witness this." „You have no idea Horo. Yoh has such a good heart that he can't even have the monster Hao taken his powers. He knows that it has to be done. It's the only way to give Hao a secound chance and to have the other shamans not constantly on `killing-mode`, but that doesn't mean he likes it." Horo understood that. That was Yoh, the person they all liked because of exactly that.

The rest of the walk went on silently. After a few minutes they came to the cave which lead to the ceremonial hall. As they walked through it they were greeted by a big dome out of mountain stone. It would have been dark weren't there the torches which gave a little bit of light. Enough to see the floor anyway. On the floor were symbols in circular form, getting smaller the more it got to the middle of it all. In the middle laid Hao. Mostly naked. Just a cloth around his most privat parts. You could see the faint scars on his stomach. He looked pale but otherwise he looked ok for someone who had a big fight only a few hours ago. However, he was still asleep. If the patch had given him something for that or if he still wasn't up to because of the fight, nobody knew. On the floor where Hao lay was the pentagram painted. Somehow this created a creepy feeling to have the great Hao Asakura on the floor on a pentagram for a binding ceremony.

Everyone sat themselves in a circle around the outer paintings. As everyone was sitting the main priest came in. The man had a mask on with symbols matching the once on the floor. His upper body was naked and also painted in red and yellow lines. He had trousers on like the patch had. His two helpers, who stood on his right and left behind him, were similar dressed like him. They walked slowly to Hao.

The main priest liftet a bowl, the other two walked around him. One sat himself underneath Hao's feet, holding his legs down. The other one sat over Hao's head, pressing Hao's arms down. The main priest started to sing in a language no one understood. He put the bowl under Hao's mouth, lifting his head up und giving Hao the substance. As he put the bowl away Hao startet to moan and shout, rolling his body around. Now everyone new why the other two priest held Hao down.

The main priest took a sharp knife and startet to cut in Hao's skin under his navel. Hao's shouting got louder. Some shamans around couldn't watch anymore. Others thought, that it was good that a few shamans weren't here. „AAAAAH! KAA-! HHHH!" The shouting just didn't stop as the knife didn't too. At the end Hao's voice gave up first, ending in sobbing und silent shouting. „STOOOOOP!" Came a loud shout. Everyone turned around to see Amidamaru and Tokageru, looking desperate and sad. „What's the meaning of that!" ,asked an angry Goldva. „Y-you have to stop!" ,said Amidamaru, looking first at Silva and then at Hao. „Oh no..." ,said the ghost again at what he saw. It was already finished. The sealing was finished!

Yoh sat in his room, looking out of the window. He hoped everything would be ok with Hao. The young shaman couldn't other than start crying for his brother. How could he give Hao to such a fate but it was the only way. He himself was too weak after yesterdays fight to fight again, and this time against everyone he knew and loved.

Suddenly he felt dizzy. He looked up but his world turned upside down. His eyes couldn't focus. He felt ill, his body weak. „A-amida...!" He tried to say his ghost's name but his mouth felt numb. He could fell himself falling and then he saw a dark ceiling. Fire. He felt ill. Mask's? Pain! „Yaaaaaaahh!" someone shouted. He? It's all dizzy. Pain. Help! Kaa-san? Wood. Wood ceiling. There was the face of his mother. Her brown hair, no blond. So much pain. More shouting. He turned. There was his family. They looked away?! Why?! Help! So much pain. He wanted to run. He couldn't move. Faust! Help! Why would his family look away?! WHY?! Help! „Yaaaaah!"

Everyone in the house came running as they heard the shouting. Keiko came first, followed by Faust. After him came Ryo, Tamao, Manta and Pilika. The ghost were already in the room. They all looked shocked at the boy on the floor. Yoh lay there shouting his bare soul out to the world. Keiko ran to her son. Holding his face to her. „Yoh! Yoh, what's wrong?" But her son did not answer. To much was he prisoner of his own pain. Faust sat on the other side, looking at Yoh, but he did not know what's wrong until Ryo shouted: „His stomach!"

There it was. The source for Yoh's pain. They could see blood spreading on his white T-shirt. Faust put his hand on the T-shirt and tore it off. Now they could clearly see the wound. Just beneath his navel was a wound. Fresh. But not only fresh but spreading like someone cut him right now with a knife. How was that possible! „The Soul-Binding!" ,shouted Pirika. „What?" ,asked Keiko, not understanding. „Mikihisa said, that they would open Hao's Furiyoku through opening Hao's soul. What if it also effected Yoh, as part of his soul?!" ,explained the blue haired shaman.

„Oh no!" ,said Keiko out loud what everyone thought. „Tokageru, Amidamaru! You two are the fastest. You have to stop them or else Yoh will lose his powers too!" ,ordered Ryo. The two ghosts immediately flew away. „Oh, hopefully they can stop them in time." ,said Keiko, looking down at her son, who was in so much pain. Only minutes later did Yoh stop shouting and just whimpered and sobbed. And then, suddenly he slumped down, stopping all motions. „What's wrong?" ,asked Keiko desperate. Faust looked at the young shaman. "It was too much pain. His body shat down." He touched at Yoh's neck, feeling his blood pressure.

„I think he is in a coma. And looking at the Symbol, I would say, Amidamaru and Tokageru were too late. His powers are sealed."

So, I know that my Grammatik is sh.., but I hope you could understand it anyway.

I would be happy, if you could review and maybe there is someone under you all who would like to beta this story?

Anyway, I hope you all liked it! `Till next time!
