Anna walked around the shack-like house. Yoh was in bed, now that he had to sleep most of the time. He seldom ever actually fell asleep, and he was really tired. If this kept up, he'd be sick for sure.
At school, Anna told the teacher Yoh would probably be sick the rest of the week or longer. Manta was as worried as she was about Yoh. But his parents were going a little overboard.
"If Yoh dies then so does the Asakura bloodline!" his Keiko Asakura wailed, burying her face in her husband's robes.
"He should be fine," Mikihisa Asakura whispered, patting his wife on her back, "He'll be perfectly fine."
"I doubt he will" Kino Asakura shook her head sadly; "my brother was in the same situation as Yoh is in now. I'm afraid I must say my fare-wells to my only grandson."
"Yes," Yohmei Asakura recalled, "Keiando never got better from the fever after his spirit-companion left him. Yoh has, however, taken the role of shaman king. I am very proud of my grandson, so if he dies, he dies with pride."
Yoh's mother continued to sob into Yoh's father's poncho. Yoh's grandmother's komono was stained with her salty tears. Yoh's grandfather was crying, but nevertheless, he stood proud and tall.
"Can't we save him?" Manta protested.
Anna shook her head sadly. Definitely not a positive answer.
"Why are you people so negative? Is there or isn't there a way to save Yoh?" Manta screamed. He hated these people. Their last remaining descendant is dying and they aren't doing a thing about it. Anna isn't going to lift a finger to save her fiancée. Keiko wasn't going to wisp a hair to save her son. Why?
"There's only one way to save Yoh," Anna choked through her tears. Anna, crying? Okay, things are getting a little weird here.
"It is only if Amidamaru can come back before it is too late," Anna was drowning in tears now. "Then I plan to call Amidamaru back."
