I'm sorry about the wait! For real, school is the devil's activity!

I have to add some blood to this one, special request from a reviewer. So, I have it planned out, but be warned, some Yoh lovers (like myself) will hate me when this is over. Horo: What are you gonna do to the poor man?!?! Akina: If I told you it would ruin the surprise. Horo: I hate you! You better not hurt my best friend!!! Pinkz88- No, it was not an accident. He had it planned from the beginning. He's smarter than you think. crazed fanatic anime fan- hee hee! it's alright. I'm like that too. except I never review... except for when I spot to many mistakes for me to handle without ranting on somebody. Ryasha- I love your name! Oh my god, I feel uncreative now! T_T everyone has pretty names, and here i am with a stupid one. well, at least it has Akina in it. That's my nickname in real life, you know. Katrina Akina Morvette. Like the car. only with an 'm' instead of a 'c' On with the story!

Jun looked at Yoh with an angry expression on her face. "And where have you been?"

Yoh, staring right into her eyes, replied, "I was taking care of some business."

"Don't listen to him, sis. He was making out with a human, of all creatures."

Jun gasped. "A human?" She laughed. "Why, isn't that ironic? He's planning to drive out the species that he's in love with!"

Yoh flexed his claws, growling deeply. Jun noticed this, and shut up pretty quickly. A mad Yoh could easily behead her and her brother. "You know, this whole rebellion thing is stupid. What do you need to kill humans for? Why not simpler methods? Maybe threatening someone with claws and fangs, instead of being murderers?"

Jun laughed nervously. "Because it's much more fun like this."

Ren smirked. "If you don't like it, Yoh, why don't you just back out?"

Yoh glared at him. "You're started to tick me off, you know."

"Oh? What are you going to do about it?"

Jun watched the verbal sparring nervously. She didn't want her cocky brother to get it trouble. "Now, now, you two, we don't want any fights between allies..."

"I think I'll rip your head right off, that's what I'll do!"

"I'd like to see you try!"

Unfortunately, Ren was backed up against someone's fence. Unfortunately, Yoh was mad at the moment. Fortunately, we all hate Ren, so there's no hard feelings at what Yoh's about to do next.

Yoh slammed his fist into the wooden fence, right beside Ren's head. The wood splintered around his inhuman strength. "You want to see me try, huh? Well, I would be honored to."

Ren felt true fear. There was nothing stopping Yoh from killing him right then and there. And here he was, egging him on. Stupid, stupid, STUPID!!!

Jun felt intense worry for her little brother. She cared deeply for the little devil...ur...demon.

All Yoh felt was anger. He managed to get a slight control on his emotions, then backed away. "I don't kill people just for fun, you know."

All Ren could do was nod. Yoh continued. "Turn around." When Ren hesitated, Yoh's anger got out of control. "I said, TURN AROUND."

Ren moved quickly. Best to obey a angry demon that is more powerful that you are. Yoh flexed his claws again, then, quick as lightning, made two long marks going diagonally down his back; the same place Yoh's scars were. Ren cried out in pain as he bleed furiously. Soon there was a puddle at his feet. He sank to his knees, still facing the fence.

Yoh looked down at the demon. "Pathetic. I hope that puts you in your place, Ren." His claws were still wet with demon blood. He turned towards Jun. "Have you got any complaints you'd like heard?"

Jun shook her head. She wanted to rush to her brother's side, comfort him, find a healer. But she was petrified. How can he be so calm, she thought. Has he really killed so many people, that blood does not bother him anymore?

"Good. I'll take my keys back now, if you don't mind." He extended the hand that was clean. Jun reached into her pocket and handed the keys to him. He smiled at her. "Thank you. I guess I'll see you tomorrow?" She nodded as Yoh stepped inside his house. She waited five minutes before rushing to Ren's side. The wounds were deep, and probably put him out of commission for about a day or two. She threw his arm over her shoulder and stood up. Ren groaned in pain.

"I... I can walk... by myself..." he managed to say despite the pain. Jun shook her head.

"Those wounds are deep, Ren. We can't have you moving to much, or you'll die from blood loss." She looked around. No one was on the streets at this time of night, but someone may have heard his cry and could be looking out the window at the moment. Jun groaned. There was no way she could get him to a safe place where he could heal without someone seeing them. She looked at the only option she had: go hide somewhere in Yoh Asakura's yard. She walked towards the gate, slowly because of Ren's weight, and settle somewhere behind the house, hidden from view from all onlookers. She laid Ren down on his stomach, and tore away the rest of the shirt that had survived the attack in preparation of healing him. "You lucky fool. Be glad he had mercy on you. He could have used more of his strength and killed you then and there. Fool."

Yoh ran the cold water in his kitchen sink, and stuck his hand under the water. He watched the blood run off it his hand. "I can't believe I just did that..." His fingers began to grow numb. "What would Anna think?" His hand was stained red, and he reached for some soap. "I have to get more control over my anger..."

Why? said a little voice in his head. You're a demon, and it's alright if you punish someone less powerful every once in a while.

I don't want to hurt anybody.

Don't want to hurt anybody? Then what about those massacres a few centuries ago?

Yoh stopped listening to the ranting voice in his head and turned the nearby t.v on. "And tomorrow's weather will be rain from the morning to late in the evening."

"Good," Yoh said. "No way for me to light a stupid fire."

Yoh was well aware of Jun and Ren in his yard. He figured it was the least he could do for them, after injuring his comrade. He shook his head. Comrade? No... just a temporary and ignorant ally.

"There have been reports-" said the news. "-from all Japan's large cities of mass murders. So far, Tokyo hasn't experienced much of the turmoil, leading officials to think the head of this seemingly large group resides in the city." Yoh laughed humorlessly at this. If only they knew... "Tokyo Police Department have decided to inspect any one that is suspected of being part of this crime."

Suddenly, Yoh felt the urge to cause trouble. He felt like going over to the police office, telling them that he was the killer, what are they gonna do about it? Yeah, that would be fun... see their reactions... sense their fear...

He tried to banish the thoughts, but this time it wouldn't go away as easily as it did the first time. After sitting there for a few moments, Yoh did the only thing he could think of. He picked up the phone and quickly dialed a number.

"Hello?" came a male voice on the other line.

"We've got to talk. I'm coming over in about fifteen minutes."

"Why? What's up?"

"I'll tell you when I get there." He slammed the phone down, and grabbed his keys. He didn't even spare a glance at Jun and Ren.

Manta (A/N: Ha! forgot he was in this story, didn't yah?) sighed. There certainly was a lot going on these days. Mass murderers, Anna and Yoh hooking up, him receiving below a 100 on a test. He scowled. That one question was cheap.

The midget looked up when he approached a shadow. "Anna? What are you doing here?"

She stared at something behind him. He turned, but only saw an empty street. "You know," her voice made him look up again. "This is the place were you and I met Yoh."

Manta looked around. Sure enough, there was the cemetery. "Wow. How long has it been since then?"

"I'd say only a few weeks."

"It feels like it was only yesterday."

"Hm." Manta looked back at the priestess.

"Anna? Are you alright?"

Silence, then, "I think, no, I know for sure that Yoh has something to do with the murders. I'm sure he at least knows something."

Manta gulped. "You don't think... could he be killing everyone?"

"I don't know." Anna sighed. "Remember when Horo talked about the demon rebellion?"

"Yeah."

"I think that this could be the beginning."

"But Yoh said he wouldn't do it!"

"That's what confuses me." Anna tilted her head back to look at the stars. "If he has decided to join, then we can all say goodbye to out lives on earth right now. He's much more powerful than we think."

"If he hasn't?"

Anna smiled. "Then we have nothing to fear."

The door opened merely milliseconds after the doorbell rang. Tamao wasn't even in the foiler yet when Yoh stomped right by her, with a quick, "Hey, Tamao, how are you?" The motherly demon watched him pass with some amusement. The little boy she had treated like a son was coming to his 'father' for advice on some big thing in his life. She chuckled, and went back to fixing Horo's late dinner.

"Horo!" Yoh yelled as soon as he walked into the living room. The spoken jumped in surprise.

"You said fifteen minutes, not two!"

"I'm in serious need of help right now, Horo."

"Obviously. You're starting to misjudge time."

Yoh gave him a look (A/N: you know, "the look"), and Horo sighed. He indicated the armchair across from him. "So tell me, what is it that you need help with?"

Yoh sat down heavily. "Oh, man, Horo. This whole 'rebellion thing,' it's getting out of hand... Just a few minutes ago, I was fantasizing about making trouble with the cops!"

"I see..." Horo nodded.

"And I hurt Ren today. The idiot deserved it, but the wounds were so painful to him that he couldn't walk by himself. And," he paused, as if considering whether to tell Horo something. "They were the same spots as my scratches."

"What's wrong with that? I know for a fact that whenever you used to hunt, you put identical scars on your victims back. Didn't you also do it when you killed people?"

Yoh winced. "That's not the point! The thing is, I've made one step to killing him!"

"Anything else?"

There was an awkward silence where Yoh blushed furiously. Horo stared in bewilderment at the red demon. "Well, it's like... Anna, and... then I... and we didn't do that... but..."

After a few minutes of listening to Yoh's stuttering, Horo nodded in comprehension. "So I see you've taken one step closer into making Anna your mate."

"Maybe..."

"And what's wrong with that?"

"I was acting, kinda... possessive..."

Horo leaned back against his chair, shaking his head. "For someone who's had a mate before, you amaze me. It's just instincts, Yoh. While it's best to control it every once in a while, it won't do any harm."

"Are you sure? Anna isn't a demon, you know."

Horo Horo considered this. "True, true. But neither was Elizabeth." Yoh smiled meekly. "So maybe you can't trust all of your instincts. Try courting her in the human way."

"I haven't been human for over 500 years."

"This is also very true. If you're going to contradict every thing I say, why'd you come to me?"

"You're supposed to offer words of wisdom." A small vein popped in Yoh's head.

Horo thought for a moment. "Are you scared of having another mate, Yoh?"

Yoh jumped, blushing red all over again. "Maybe..." he said quietly.

"I see..." He went silent again. "Well, I think I might have the solution."

"For your first problem, go ahead, let off a bit of steam. Every demon has the urge to cause trouble. Your instincts are fully understandable."

"Your second problem. So maybe you're feeling the urge to smell blood. A more primitive one, but an instinct nonetheless. Maybe since you haven't hunted in years, the desire is more defiant than it used to be, especially you killed that man that tried to mug you."

"The third problem, the one about Anna." Yoh braced himself for whatever could come out of Horo's mouth. "I have two solutions for this. But first, tell me why you don't want to mate Anna."

"She's only sixteen," Yoh said, as if that explained everything. Horo nodded.

"Elizabeth was older, right?" Yoh nodded.

"She was about twenty, give or take a year."

"I see," Horo said for about the millionth time that day. "Second question."

"What is it?"

"Do you love Anna with all your heart?"

There was no hesitation in his voice. "Yes. Yes, I love Anna with all my heart and soul."

Horo sighed. "Then you will not like the two choices I have for you. One..."

^^ cliffhanger! Hah! I feel so proud of myself! I managed a cliff hanger all by myself! *_* for some reason, I'm not to pleased with the first part. But I've thought some parts were corny, but others thought they were good, so I could be wrong. If you hate it as much as I do, then please don't desert me! Just tell me. I'll understand, and we can all forget the beginning. Horo: Ha! You made me all wise, and so totally the bomb! Akina: * sighs * I'm not sure if that was a good idea. Just so you guys know, the relation between Horo and Yoh is very deep. It's kinda best friends/brothers/father-son. The way I think of it, they were friends before Yoh went on his little power spree, and after that, became as close as brothers. Then when Yoh met Elizabeth, he was unsure of his instincts, so he came to Horo for help like a son would go to his father. Yeah. That was all I had to say.
