Chapter 6 (I promise they will be sorted in the next chapter!!!!!)

Hao gazed at the ropes binding Jeanne's arms. He gave them a final swift tug before sitting down.

"Now, who wants the honor of reviving her?" Asked Hao. Everybody took a step back.

"I'll do it." Offered Hermione.

"What's the catch?" Asked Hao

"If you can tell us more about Shamans. I think it's pretty fascinating, really. I heard that we are going to learn spirit channeling this year form our new Defense against the dark arts teachers."

"We'll tell you more." Said Hao.

"Ok... they are weird." Said Ron. "It's like that Hao guy can't trust anyone."

"Well I don't trust them." Muttered Harry. Hermione, meanwhile was looking for her wand.

"Now, if you don't mind..."

"Oh yes..." Hermione whipped out her wand from her bag. "Enervate" Jeanne stirred and opened her eyes. Lyserg bent down to face her.

"I just had the weirdest dream..." She mumbled. "Hao was alive, and..."

"Hello Jeanne." He said in pure calmness.

"YOU!" She shrieked. Jeanne tried to stand up, but found that her legs were taped to the chair, and her hands were tied up. "Lyserg, do something!!!!"

"Um... well you see..." Lyserg said nervously. "He's changed so..."

"TRAITOR!!" Jeanne screeched struggling with the knots that strapped her to the seat. Hao sighed and rolled his eyes.

"Do you people have anything that will shut the girl up?"

Muffled cries were heard as Jeanne tried to bite off the huge chunk of chocolate stuffed in her mouth.

Ron shook his head in disbelief. "Bloody hell..." Hermione shot him a glare. "Hey, the girl's putting up a good fight, though." He nudged his elbow in Jeanne's direction.

"What I don't understand is why this girl wants to kill Hao so much." Said Harry in an undertone. "He might have allegiances with Vol-"

"Don't be stupid, Harry." Said Hermione reassuringly. "Just look how friendly they are!" Hermione then frowned slightly as she heard Ren and Horo-horo's shouts in the background.

"Well it could all just be some sort of act..." Countered Harry.

"Come on, Harry, just because they're a bunch of weirdoes, doesn't mean that they work for You-Know-Who. You don't have to be so paranoid about it! With Dumbledore here, you should be fine!"

Harry shook his head. "I wouldn't count on it."

"They got rid of Malfoy."

"Yeah, with fireballs and dolls."

"Whatever."

"muuuf!!!"

"Uh oh... she's getting through the chocolate..." Said Ron.

"Let me out, Lyserg, or else!" Jeanne threatened.

"Or what, my dear?" Asked Hao grinning.

"Or...or... I'll"

"You'll what?" Asked Hao still smiling at her helpless position. "Frankly, I don't think you are in any position to be making threats, Jeanne."

"I..." Jeanne was lost for words but was still glaring and everyone-she hated her helpless position.

"Look, Jeanne." Said Anna in her 'I-am-the-boss-and-there-is-nothing-you-can-do-about-it' voice. "Hao has changed, we trust him, and there is nothing you can do about it. Get over it." Jeanne looked as if she were about to cry, at the same time she looked like she could explode with anger any second now. Yet she maintained her glare.

"Um... Anna"

"What is it, Yoh?"

"Well um..." Yoh lowered his voice so only Anna and Ren could hear. "Weren't you a little harsh on her? I mean, she dedicated her life in umm..." Yoh did a gesture with his hand cutting his throat. "Hao, so I-"

"She wouldn't want all her efforts to be for naught." Said Ren sourly.

"Peppers too hot!" Cried a voice.

"Oh crap..." Muttered Ren remembering a rather disturbing memory. (Cinder-REN-lla)

"Hiya Chocolove, you came just in time!" Said Yoh.

"Actually," Said Ren.

"Now isn't a very good time at all. Jeanne's freaking out because Hao's alive." Said Horo-horo. Ren shot him a glare him. Then he realized what he said. Horo-horo wish hadn't said anything, but he knew it was too late.

"WHAT???"

"Chocolove, it's a trap!!!" Jeanne cried. "KILL HIM!!!"

"It's okay, you can trust him!!!" Yoh shouted back.

"Do you think we should do something?" Whispered Harry.

"Well, I'm waiting for ideas." Said Ron.

"I'll take that as a no..."

"Join the good side!" Yelled Jeanne.

"No, don't listen to her!" Cried Lyserg. "Untie her, and she'll destroy us all." He remembered the time a robber stole her purse. Jeanne totally destroyed him. It frightened him to think what would happen to the train with her level of furyoku.

"Don't listen to the traitors!!! Untie, me now!"

"SILENCE!" Two figures stood at the doorway. Everyone turned their heads. Yoh grinned at them.

A/N: Yay! Longer chappie-Ok, not really (I know you're sick of all the chapters still on the train, so I'll wrap that part up in the next chapter. Sorting coming up next!)
