Zem sniffed.
'Well, didn't expect that to happen' he thought as he watched Yoh sleep in his room. 'well, actually I did, but not like that'.
After the Incident, Everyone had settled Yoh inside his room to rest. Yohken and Matamune had instructed Tamao and Faust how to make the antidote created in order to help the corrupted heal. Without it, Yoh probably wouldn't have made it.
As for Anna, she's been locked up in her room the whole time. She would only come out when no one was around, and thaqt was to check up on Yoh.
Zem looked up at the ceiling. "At this rate we'll never be able to get to the other Realm...," Zem sighed.
He looked back at Yoh."Well Ototo, looks like this is gonna take some time...," he said to his sleeping brother. He turned his head to what sounded like footsteps down the hall. The door opened to reveal Anna.
"well hey there sunshine, never thought I'd see you here at this time of day," said Zem as Anna walked in to the room.
Anna turned to look at him in suprise, as if she didn't notice he was there at all. Zem had guessed she didn't.'Aww man, now I'm gonna have to answer a crapload of questions I'm sure' Zem mentally groaned.
"You." Anna simply stated as she her suprise diminished.
"Yes me, what's so suprising about that? He is my brother after all, or did you not expect me to check up him?" Zem replied.
"You did this to him," Anna glared as she pointed at Yoh.
'Predictable' though Zem."Not that I repent your extremely predictable and cliche response, but I assure you that I had nothing to do with what happened earlier. That was purely Yoh, or atleast whats gotten into him."
"He has never acted like that BEFORE you appeared and suddenly claimed you were his brother and so badly needed to train him, so explain that." was Anna's snide response.
"Badly? You think so? hehe. I guess my intentions were a little misunderstood. And I can explain that, if you 'so Badly' need me to. Let me ask you a question. Have you evr treated Yoh like you just did?" Zem replied.
"What are you talking about? I always treat Yoh like that." said Anna.
"Are you sure? You shoulda seen yourself out there. I almost had to believe that you were corrupted." Chuckled Zem.
Anna thought on how she had treated Yoh in the yard earlier. Her eyes widened for a brief moment before she had closed them. "I Had a reason to act like that. After all that time, Yoh hadn't even said a word to me of his corruption. He had been keeping secrets from me for so long!" Yelled Anna.
"There really is no reason to yell, Anna, or get all riled up and tense for that matter. Yoh had tried to explain, but the Five-finger assault had prevented him from doing so. And do you really think you could have helped in preventing his problem? Corruption isn't something that can just be washed away or cured with Shamanic powers. No. Corruption is on a totally different Level of power beyond anything any of Yoh's friend currently have or can use. In fact, you can almost say is has nothing to do with Shamans at all." replied Zem.
"What? But...how can that be?" whispered Anna.
"Well, you saw what happened. Did that dark energy feel like a normal Oversoul? Could you even sense it?" Asked Zem.
"......No, No it didn't.....but what does that have to do with anything? It's still Oversoul, you said yourself." replied Anna.
"In a sense, yeah, It's still Oversoul. But it's not Oversoul at the same time. Anna, what you saw, the dense black Energy, was an entity." Zem explained.
"An......an entity?" Anna said shocked.
"Yes. As a matter of Fact, you can say that it's like a second Great Spirit." Zem calmly stated.
Anna was speechless. 'Another.....Great Spirit?'. "Impossible, There is only one Great Spirit. I don't believe it." Anna firmly stated.
"I never said it WAS the great spirit, I said it was LIKE the great spirit. In most ways, anyways. There's only one difference between the two, and what you saw out there was only a sample of that very difference." Zem said as he stepped off Yoh's door.
"What's that?" Anna asked.
Zem only stared at her. Anna looked back him. WHat she saw did not help her current mood. Zem stared back at her with his evil, Demonic look that sporadically appears. Anna shrunk to her knees.
"To where as the great spirit makes a Shaman King and creates a better world, The Corruption Devours the Earth and kills the very thing the Great Spirit helped to make. In other words, If Yoh becomes the Shaman King with him still being corrupted, not only will the Earth suffer, but he will perish as well. That's why I am here. That is what I came for. I know of Yoh's capabilities, And he fails to eradicate The Corruption by completing the training, then I will have no ohter choice but to kill him myself. The same goes for the rest of you." Zem said as he left the room. He had walked past all of the Wide-eyed listeners thta were outside of Yoh's room(The whole Crew).
The Gang didn't speak a word until they heard a faint groan coming from Yoh's Futon.

Haha! so how was it? well you can comment on it anyways.
