Chapter 2 -- The Caller

Yoh glanced at the screen again and again and did not utter a word.

Anna twisted her brows and growled, "Something wrong?"

Yoh tried to press the buttons on the Oracle Bell, but still he could not see anything connected to the ringing. The screen does not show that he had received any message, nor someone's trying to speak to him through the Bell.

"Uhm, nothing..." Yoh stuttered.

"Nothing?" Anna snatched the Bell from Yoh and realized Yoh isn't lying. If it's a message from the Great Spirit there's no way to delete it. However... if...?

And the Bell continued its ring before Anna's face, and still the screen did not show any sign that it's receiving anything. Anna pressed the 'conversation' button, but no voice came out. The ringing just stopped.

"Do you think one of your friends are playing tricks on you?" asked Anna, while giving back the Bell to Yoh.

"Uhm... but there's no sign on the screen saying there was a call. And you know usually it will show who's ringing you when it rings," Yoh politely pointed out the facts.

"Well then, Yoh," replied Anna, "your Oracle Bell is out of order. Tell Ryu to borrow his to you and ring up the Patch to get it fixed."

Then the bell started to ring again. Anna dimmed her face, snatched the Bell from Yoh's hand and promptly pressed the 'converstion' button again.

"It's me, dear Anna, " a voice broke from the Oracle Bell, "I'm HAO. I just hacked into the Oracle Bell Communication System... sorry that I didn't manage to speak in my last call. I didn't know how. "

----RprpRP---

Yoh's eyes widened slightly.

"Hao..." was what Yoh managed to utter out. The boy was too shocked to say anything more... He had almost stopped breathing. Hao had returned?

----

Anna: "H..HAO?!" The girl could not belive what she was hearing. Her face started to turn pale, eyes widened with disbelief. "how did you come back!? I thought Yoh finally killed you!" she exclaimed, almost shouting, but she didn't care.
