Chapter 2: Regret

(5:00 PM - somewhere above Izumo)

Bridget: Now let's see. I think I'll buy some dimsum, then maybe two ramen and then

Yoh: Huh what? Wha, where am I?

Bridget: Oh you're awake! Sleep well my bounty?

Yoh: Where am I? (looks around) Are we up in the sky!

Bridget: Uh-huh!

Yoh: How did we get here?

Bridget: Rodger took us up here! He's my guardian spirit!

Yoh: So you're a shaman?

Bridget: Well, Duh!

Yoh: Where are you taking me?

Bridget: I'm taking you to... what's his name again? Oh right! I'm taking you to Hao!

Yoh: Did you just say Hao!

Bridget: Are you deaf or something?

Yoh: Let me off this thing!

Bridget: There's no way out, stupid! You jump down and you'll end up like rice pudding.

Yoh: (Dang! She's right!) Okay you win. (Slumps down on the surface of Rodger)

Bridget: Tell me Yoh, do you know this Hao guy?

Yoh: Well he's my evil, demented, power-hungry, bent on world domination twin.

Bridget: Really? Why does he want you?

Yoh: He wants my soul...

Bridget: Wow! How could he do that? You're his brother!

Yoh: He doesn't care about anybody. Anything that opposes him gets turned into a smoking pile of ash!

Bridget: I can't help but pity you Yoh... But I can't let you go or else I'll starve. It's every one for themselves you know!

Yoh: Hey I'll make you a deal Bridget! You let me go and then you can live with us!

Bridget: Really?

: Hey Bridget!

Bridget: Huh? Is that...

Dizzy: Hi!

Bridget: Dizzy! How have you been!

Dizzy: I'm fine. And who's this Bridget.

Bridget: He's my bounty, Yoh Asakura.

Yoh: (Waves hand at Dizzy)

Dizzy:(Wow, He's cute!) Hi there. I'm Dizzy, Bridget's friend.

Yoh: Nice to meet you, Dizzy.

Dizzy: So Bridget, where are you taking him?

Bridget: To his evil twin brother, Hao.

Dizzy: Evil?

Bridget: Yeah! He told me all about his brother and his brother's plan of sucking his soul.

Dizzy: That's terrible! Bridget, you must not do this!

Bridget: But, but...

Dizzy: pleeeeeeeease! (looks at Bridget with puppy eyes)

Bridget: Oh, okay!

Yoh: Really! You'll let me go!

Bridget: But remember, we still have a deal.

Yoh: You got it Bridget. You know you're not such a bad girl after all.

Dizzy: Uh-oh. He said the word...

Bridget: Did you just call me a girl! (Looks at Yoh with anime style flaming eyes)

Yoh: You're a girl right?

Dizzy: Oh no! This is gonna get ugly!

Bridget: I am not a girl! You want proof! (begins to remove his cycling shorts)

Yoh: No, no, no, no! That's okay I believe you!

Dizzy: There, there Bridget. Calm down. (Rubs Bridget's back in hopes of calming her down)

Bridget: (pants heavily while staring angrily at Yoh) Don't ever call me a girl again or I swear I'll wring your neck like a dish towel!

Yoh: Okay, okay, I promise!

Bridget: (Finally returning to her cheerful mood) Well I better turn this thing around. There's no point of going to Hao's camp.

: And what makes you think you can do that, Bridget...

Yoh: That voice... No! It can't be!
