Chapter 2:

As Pyro drew near to the place that Yoh and his friends were, Ryu sensed something wrong.

"There is something amiss here." Ryu said as he looked up into the surrounding woods.

"You said that five times today Ryu." Horo Horo snapped back at him.

"Yes, but I feel it this time. Something is wrong."

"Aw, your just hungry..."

"Would you two just shut up already? I can't believe we're even in the same group together!" Ren stood up.

"Cut it out Ren! They're just having some fun!" Yoh was seated on the ground trying to build a fireplace, but to no avail. Lyserg stood silent, as usual.

"Yoh, I really think there's something wrong." Ryu persisted. Horo Horo tackled him.

"Nothing's wrong, don't listen to him Yoh!"

Yoh laughed. Lyserg steeped forward then sat next to Yoh. "Yoh, I must agree with Ryu, I think something's going on too."

Ren looked up. "Something is coming...probably another Shaman, but don't worry, I don't think that they'll be any danger to us. Yoh and I can handle them."

Horo Horo tried to tackle Ren. "What do you mean 'Yoh and I' what are the rest of us? Chopped liver?"

Ren sighed and side-stepped, causing Horo Horo to fall to the ground. "I suppose you would fit that category. Yes."

"Why YOU!" Horo Horo made another jump at Ren.

Yoh stood up. "Okay you guys, wait here. I need to go into the woods to take care of something?"

"What? Why?" Horo Horo and Ryu asked suspiciously.

"He needs to go to the bathroom, you idiots!" Ren stated. Yoh smiled. "Be back in a few!" and he disappeared into the woods.

Silence surrounded the group. Only the wind blowing through the trees could be heard. Ren and Horo Horo continued fighting after a while when they heard footsteps.

Lyserg stood up quickly and looked in that direction. The others noticed Lyserg and looked over too.

"Yoh?" Ryu asked.

"I thought so too." Lyserg replied. "But Yoh went in the opposite direction. I have no idea who this is."

Horo Horo looked nervous. "Any chance he cut through the woods?"

"Nope."

Pyro walked briskly and upright. She was going to make this quick and easy. She wouldn't talk that much, just get the job done. That's what Hao had asked of her, and so

she was going to do. She looked back at Seraph.

"Are you ready?" she asked.

"Yes." Seraph replied. This was going to be a piece of cake. With all the elements mastered, she could make them materialize and wipe all of Yoh's friends out of existence.

Pyro could see the group coming into her sight. They were all standing up, looking in her direction. Had they known she was coming? No matter. She would defeat them all in

no time.

She approached the group and counted. Four. This was ridiculously simple.

"Are you friends of the one called, 'Yoh?'"

"And what's it to you?" Ren asked in his usual tone.

"Because it's in your best interest to let me know which one of you is he, because Master Hao has asked me not to kill Yoh, just his allies."

"You're from Hao?" The group backed up in preparation.

"Well, Yoh is not here at the moment, so I suppose you'll have to be defeated by us!" Ren said calmly taking his weapon.

Pyro found this funny and laughed to herself. That's when Seraph came in and caused the ground to shake so a pillar of earth shot up out of the ground and carried Pyro up

several stories. The group below jumped back.

"We've seen this before! We know the power of earth!" Horo Horo yelled up. Pyro looked down as she stood coolly on the enormous rock with amusement. "Then I bet

you haven't seen this as well... Seraph, go ahead."

"Very well." Seraph replied and the sky turned dark. Darker than night, darker than a raven's wing's, darker than the darkest black on earth, was the darkness that shrouded

them. It clouded the sky and Pyro smiled to herself.

"Now for the fire, Seraph." Pyro drew a ring in the air and fire appeared from her fingertips and shot down, forming a blazing ring of fire, circling the group. A glow rose up

from this fire and all the group could see was what was inside the ring. They couldn't see the sky, or the forest, but mainly, they wouldn't be able to see Yoh, and thus, they

wouldn't be able to protect him.

Lyserg took no time to launch his pendulum at Pyro. He hated Hao with a dying passion and he hated his associates no less.

The group followed, trying to find ways to get at her since she was so high up.

Horo Horo used his ice control to form somewhat of a bridge and snowboarded up there. Once face to face with Pyro, she snickered, drew her sword with excellent speed

and with even better accuracy, she knocked Horo Horo down and watched him fall.

She was trying to find the joy out of suffering. Hao did, so she had to. That was what she believed made Hao not treat her well, and that's what was going to solve it. Still, she

felt a great pity for these people.

"You know, this isn't exactly what I call fair. I'll come down so you can fight me down there." Immediately, Seraph lowered the ground for her and she stepped off. The

second she did, the whole group attacked at once. Pyro smiled and a dark orb enveloped her.

Ren stopped as the others attacked, but fell back, bruised. He knew exactly what that was.

"She is able to create a shield to protect herself with that dark...er...light of some sort." He told the group.

"You could've told us that before we attacked her." Horo Horo stated.

"Very perceptive." Pyro smiled slyly. She, with the help of Seraph, reduced the orb to a ball and flung it at Ren, who was launched backward and scraped against the ground.

He coughed and sputtered, for the orb hit him right in the gut.

The others tried to attack her again, but she attacked those three with her other elements.

Lyserg panted from pain and looked at all his gashes. Horo Horo tried to sit up, and Ryu looked like he was ready to drop unconscious. The whole group was being beaten,

and it was a bloody defeat.

Ren stood up slowly. "Damn you." He muttered.

Pyro smiled. "You don't give up I see. That's what a like in a shaman. I think I'll kill you last." Lyserg, Horo Horo and Ryu, stood up as well. Lyserg thrust his pendulum at

Pyro again. She flicked it away like a bug.

The group charged at her, weapons drawn. Pyro laughed again.

"You can't beat me!" she said happily.

"Not if I have anything to do with it!" said a voice.

Pyro looked up, past the flames. Hao?! What was he doing here? His hair was shorter. Did he cut it within the last two hours? And why was he dressed like that? He looked

very angry.

Horo Horo stopped and looked over. "Hey guys! Look! We can see Yoh!"

Yoh? No, it couldn't be, it was Hao! She could see his face clearly, the glow of the flames bouncing off his face. She saw anger, pure anger. His eyes burned into her, his

look scared her, the last time she had seen that face was from Hao, and the events that followed were pure devastation. It had to be Hao! It had to!

"Hao!" she cried out. Then she noticed Ren, weapon drawn, he was coming at her, and then, all went black.

Flashback...

"Py! Py! C'mon! I need to tell you something!" the young eight-year-old face of Hao came into Pyro's mind. She saw herself run out to him. Where were they? Ah yes, back

home. She began to remember. After that guy had knocked her out, this was all she could see.

"Py! C'mon! Hurry up...you're so lazy!"

"I'm coming! Wait up!" the familiar voice came from the seven-year-old she used to be.

The two kids ran out to the dusty pathway leading out of town. It was summer and the sun shown happily down on the pathway.

"Py, I need to tell you something."

"Well, then tell me already!"

"I..." the young boy paused for a moment. "I need to go...out for a while."

"Why?" the girl questioned.

"Let's just say I'm helping the world realize its mistakes."

"What mistakes?"

"You'll see, Py, later, not now."

"When are you coming back?"

The young boy paused and looked down. "I don't know. It may be a while. But I promise I'll come back for you!"

"You're only eight though! You can't go out alone!"

"Py, you're making excuses. Besides, I know a bit more about the outside world, no offense."

"How can I be sure you'll come back, Hao?" the girl asked suspiciously.

Hao laughed. "I thought you'd say something like that. That's why I stayed up late last night making you this!" he pulled out something from his pants pocket.

The girl looked at it and smiled happily. "It's a bracelet!"

"And look what it says!" the young Hao pointed out.

"Blueberry Py! Hey that's really cool! Thank you so much, Hao!" she smiled up at the boy.

"Keep that bracelet safe. It's a promise that I'll return." He smiled and hugged her quickly. Then he turned around and began to walk down the path leading out of town.

Py clutched the bracelet to her chest as she watched Hao leave sadly. After he was out of sight, she dropped to her knees and began to cry, each tear filled with sorrow.

"Hao..."

That's when the scene started to fade.

No! Please don't go! Pyro thought. I don't want to go back to the horrible place that I've gotten myself into. Don't go...please...don't go...

Three minutes later...

"Hello? Hello? Helloooooo?" Horo Horo said in an immature tone. Yoh looked down at the unconscious girl. They had taken her and bandaged her up.

She wasn't that bad. Yoh believed there had to be at least some good in everyone.

Pyro twitched.

"Hey. I think she's waking up!" Yoh said excitedly. Pyro sat up and rubbed her eyes. She groaned in exhaustion. "Where am I?"

"Where you were an hour ago. Ren here knocked you pretty hard on the head there."

Ren shrugged in pride. She opened her eyes and again saw Hao.

"Hao? What's going on?"

"Hao? I'm not Hao!" Yoh replied with a smile. "I'm Yoh, Yoh Asakura."

"Asakura?" Pyro said in shock. "But that's Hao's-,"

Realization spread across her face. They must be brothers. They had to be. They both looked the same age and exactly like the other, despite the hair and taste in garments.

They must've had a grudge against each other or something, that's probably why Hao wanted to see him so much. Maybe he wanted to forgive him or something. But how

would that explain the reincarnations? She remembered the fight. Then how, upon seeing Yoh, she had been struck down so easily. Hao had wanted her killed. But why?

"What's your name?" Yoh asked kindly. "You're spirit here wouldn't give us any information."

"That's Seraph," Pyro replied looking up at Seraph. Seraph looked down at Pyro, then at the group.

"Her name is Pyro," he stated sarcastically.

"Pyro huh? Well, hi Pyro! This is the rest of my friends. That's Ren," he said pointing to the man who knocked her out. "That's Lyserg," he smiled pointing to the pedulum

user. "This is Ryu." He continued referring to the tall man with big hair.

He bowed and responded, "Pleasure to meet you, Miss Pyro."

Yoh smiled and gestured to snowboarder. "And this is Horo Horo."

Horo Horo smiled and waved. "What's up?"

Pyro looked at the group and realized that as much as she tried to hate them, the more she started to like them as well. She looked at Yoh. "Yoh, will...you let me come with

you? I don't think that Hao will care, seeing that he apparently tried to kill me."

Ren looked down at her. "Don't trust her Yoh. She's with Hao remember? She's just making excuses to catch us off guard."

Yoh looked up at Ren. "Last time I checked, Ren, I used to be enemies with you as well."

Ren went silent and looked at the ground. Horo Horo laughed. "Oooo, gotcha didn't he Ren?"

"Will you shut up!"

Yoh turned to Pyro, the smile wiped off his face. "I don't like Hao, you should know that. In fact, we're trying to stop him from winning the tournament. Ren is right you know.

How can we trust you?"

Pyro knew the answer right away. "Because, I"ve realized, unlike Hao, I don't feel joy at seeing someone else suffer."

Yoh looked at her, then nodded. "Well, we'll try. If you act all suspicious even once, you're outta here."

"Agreed." Pyro replied. After what she thought Hao was trying to do to her, she thought it best not to go back to him right away. Besides, they trusted her now, well sort of.

This would make it easier to crush them. You see, as much as Pyro thought Hao tried to kill her, she was still way to loyal to him, and wasn't going to give up that easily.

Yoh turned to Ren, who was in the middle of punching Horo Horo. "Is that okay Ren?"

Ren looked down at Yoh, satisfied. Yoh nodded again, apparently guessing Ren's answer.

"Can you do me a favor though?" Pyro asked.

"Sure, what is it, Pyro?" Yoh replied, curiously.

"Don't call me Pyro."

"Okay, what do you want to be called?" Yoh asked.

"Call me Py..."
