okay now I can do chapter two, bless weekends...bless them good. Recently I had my eyes worked on to see if they can prevent me from going completely blind so I can't really see what I'm typing. I have the keyboard memorized, but don't worry I'm gonna let one of my friends look at it, to check the spelling.

Yoh Ausakura was laying on his back when Ren Tao came running up to meet him. Yoh had immediately sat up upon seeing his sweaty form, "Ren, what happened to you?" Ren held something in his arms, and Kororo was clinging to his arm, her little face dripping with tears. Ren was staggering over to Yoh, his legs shaking from his long run, and there was something about his face that sent shivers up and down Yoh's spine.

"Yoh...she's got him...she's got him!" Ren plopped down on the grass, holding whatever it was in his arms.

"Has who? Ren what are you talking about!" Yoh was at his friend's side, and looked at him worried. Ren didn't answer, but instead held out Manta's Manjien. Amidamaru was now at Manta's side, while Bason was at Ren's fretting over him. "What's going on Ren! Where's Manta?" Ren looked at Yoh, "Probably with her...She took HoroHoro...she...she must have Manta too." Yoh clutched the tattered book to his body, "Who is this, "she," and what does she want with Manta and HoroHoro?"

"LORD YOH GET DOWN!" Amidamaru cried, Yoh flattening himself to the ground, just as an arrow flew over his head, and stuck itself against the wall of his house. He and Ren jumped to their feet looking around, "I don't see anyone..." Yoh whispered still griping Manta's Manjien. Ren and Yoh, still looking around made their way over to the arrow, which was ready to break in half from the weight of a bag tied around it. Yoh took it down, and set the bag aside reading a letter pinned to the bag.

"Inside this bag are the things I promised to Ren, and Yoh that is a good question, why do I want Manta and HoroHoro? To get to you of course. If there's one thing I like more than my job, it's getting paid for it. Inside the bag are things to let you know I'm serious. Come alone to the park near Yoh's school, you'll find us waiting there.

Love Marie, Joseph, HoroHoro, and Manta."

Yoh dropped to his knees, starring at the bag, which Ren already had in his hands. Opening it with care, Ren cried out as he pulled out a piece of his sister's dress, and Anna's red bandanna. Yoh grabbed it, eye wide, "Did she...she...!" Ren clutched the piece from his sister's clothing, and pressed it to his face, "No...Jun! JUN!" Yoh looked at the normally uncaring boy and sat stiffly as he sobbed, "My sister...no! NOT HER, NOT HER!" Yoh was trembling as he looked down at Anna's red bandanna, there was a dark stain on it, red on red. Tears filled his eyes, were his friend's dead? Placing it tenderly next to him, he reached in pulling out two rapped objects. On one it read his name, and the other it red Ren's.

"Ren...here..." Yoh held out the wrapped object, and Ren took it, placing the piece of his sister's dress in his pocket. Both of the boys unrapped the objects, and when Yoh saw his, he went pale, and his eyes went wide, his pupils dilated. Ren's face creased with anger, and he screamed, "DAMXIT! DAMXIT, DAMXIT, DAMXIT!" A small bloody pinky was in the wrapped object had. It had to be Manta's...how many times had he starred at Manta's hands and wanted to take them in his own? How many times had he dreamed of kissing his small hands, and pulling Manta to him? Tears dripped down Yoh's face, and he set the finger down throwing up into the grass. Ren starred at the finger, and remembered the letter saying she would send the finger's of Manta and Horohoro. He starred at the finger of his secret lover, and could see his face in his mind.

His annoying face. With that big smiled, that seemed to spread from ear to eat. Those eyes that sparkled no matter what the occasion, that closed when he was happy, or something was wrong. He could see his hands clutching his snow board, holding Kororo who he loved so much, waving at him. Ren's eyes shot up as he pictured in his head the American girl, holding him down as she slowly cut off his finger.

Ren rose, Yoh following suit. Yoh's tears hadn't stopped, and Ren thinking of his sister, and of Horohoro somewhere in pain, shook his head when tears tried to rinse his face clean. "Let's go," Ren growled when Yoh had gone quiet. Yoh's eyes had become dangerous and crazed, and he nodded, following Ren, Amidamaru, and Bason following behind them.

Marie stood next to Joseph, HoroHoro, and Manta trapped in strange glowing red chains. Their hands were tied behind their backs, and they looked up at Marie as she wiped her bloody hands off. Manta was looking sick, resting against Horohoro who looked just as bad. The chains were doing something to them. "I won't let you...not Yoh-kun...not Yoh-kun!" Marie bent down taking his small face in her hands, "Dear sweet Manta...you can't do anything!"

"You bitXh..." HoroHoro whispered.

Marie frowned at him, "Don't call me that." She snapped her fingers, and Horohoro and Manta screamed as the chains sent electricity through their bodies. "STOP THAT YOU BITXH!" HoroHoro and Manta gasped as the pain went away, and with eyes glazed over starred at the one who'd screamed. Ren was standing there, Yoh joining his side, sword already out. "Manta-chan...hang on okay?" Yoh called to him, his voice sounding very dangerous. Ren starred at Horohoro, who was sweating and starring at him. "Ren..." Ren took in a deep breath, "Are you okay you moron?" Horohoro closed his eyes, and meekly whispered, "No."

Ren growled, "Girl you're going to pay!" Marie smiled at Ren, "Feeling upset? I killed your sister, and that Anna girl...now I'm about to kill the one's you love, does that bother you." Manta and Horohoro looked at Yoh and Ren in shock, who starred at them. Marie cocked her head at the stillness that had filled the air, "Have you not told them?" Marie laughed and knelt behind the boys grabbing their faces, "Don't you love them?"

She squeezed Manta's face, "Don't you Yoh?" Yoh starred at Manta who had tears in his eyes, "I do...I love him with every breath I take..." Manta's face was bright red as tears sped rapidly down his face. "Yoh-kun..." She smiled and grabbed HoroHoro's hair, "What about you Ren? You love him?" Horohoro grunted with pain as she pulled his hair, and shook his head. "Yes." Ren whispered. "What was that?" Marie made the chains shock Horohoro who screamed, and let tears drip down his face, "YES ID DO! I LOVE HIM! MORE THAN I EVER THOUGHT I COULD LOVE ANYONE!" Horohoro looked at him, and pleaded, "Please Ren run!" Marie slapped him hard across the face, "Oh be quiet..." Marie smiled at the two enraged boy's in front of her, "You ready? I'm going to kill you now."

Ren and Yoh growled getting ready for what ever was to happen next.
