Well, I tried to write this chapter as soon as possible. Don't want to keep the reviewers waiting! See? I'm not that evil am I? Disclaimer, you know where to find it, if not, too bad. It's getting kinda boring in the house during summer. Nothing to do but use the computer since my younger brother is hogging the PS2, and I'm hogging the only laptop with an internet connection. These are the days when I miss school, cause I don't get to do anything in the morning! All the shows are kiddie shows yuck But when I'm at school, I just wish that it's my summer break already. What a weird mind I have! XD Whoops, starting to get hyper again XD.

So anyway, here's the next chapter………………………………………………..………………………..well, what are you waiting for? Stop looking at the dots and read the next chapter before I staring saying useless stuff again XD. Or do you want to watch me go hyper? XD Didn't think so…hehehe…

ooooo

Chapter 5: To Patch Village

"Were almost there Anna, can't you feel it?" Hao walked towards the old location Patch village which now looks like a desert, as Anna sat there and watched. "Don't be so grouchy and cranky. Don't you know I'm doing this to create a better world for shamans to live in?"

"You're only going to do this for yourself!" Anna glared at him.

"Too bad… I'm making a world only for Shamans anyway. What are you going to do about it Anna? Haunt me?" Hao laughed as he carried the orb towards Dobie village with the spirit of the frustrated Anna in it. "Why don't you try to relax? Everything will go well if you cooperate"

"So that means it won't go well, because I won't summon it!" Anna looked away from Hao, but Hao just smiled at her. "What are you smiling for?"

"You can't do anything! I'm expecting Yoh and the others to come here, so I won't be surprised if they try to rescue you. But by that time, I'll have the spirit of fire by my side once more" Hao continued walking and heading towards Dobie Village.

"Come on Yoh! Hurry up!" Horohoro called out from outside the house.

"Just a sec Horo, I'll be right there!" Yoh stayed beside Anna again and smiled. "I'll be back soon ok, just hang in there! I won't let Hao do what he wants to do with you" Yoh exited Anna's room and went outside the house where everyone else was waiting. "Take good care of her Pirika and Tamao!"

"Ok Yoh! Just leave her to us, don't worry about her, worry about Hao" Pirika said as she and Tamao waved goodbye to Yoh, Ren, Horohoro, Faust, Jun, Ryo, and Manta. In just a few minutes, they arrived at the airport where Silva was waiting for them, and behind him was a huge spirit plane.

"Come on in, I've got a little surprise for you" Silva stepped aside from the door, revealing a green haired boy with a green cape.

"Lyserg! Hey there! So nice to see you again!" Yoh smiled as Lyserg stepped out from the plane. "What brings you here?"

"Silva told me the story about Hao, and so he asked me for help" Lyserg said as he greeted his friends. "You know what they say, the more the better! Now let's get on the plane."

"Hey Silva, are you sure this thing won't fall?" Horohoro asked nervously looking at the plane which Silva made by himself using oversoul.

"No it won't; but if I think it will fall, then it will fall" Silva said which made Horohoro shake, sweat drop, and cry anime style.

"Well, let's hop on! I bet Anna's getting cranky just waiting for us" Yoh laughed a bit and jumped on the plane along with the others. Unfortunately for Ren, he had to pull and drag Horohoro in the plane. When everyone was there, the plane took off and headed towards Patch Village.

"Say Silva, how long will it take for us to get to Patch Village?" asked Yoh.

"With the speed of this plane, probably and approximate ofsix hours. Why don't you all sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride" Silva went out of the room where everyone was.

"So? Who wants to play cards" Horohoro asked with a grin on his face. "Loser only gets half a bowl of rice for lunch! Or are you all just scared?"

"Scared? Who's scared? Deal out the cards and I'll see that you get a taste of your own medicine!" Ren said as Horohoro shuffled and passed around the cards.

"Almost there, just a few more miles, and we're in the old Dobie Village." Hao kept walking and smiling. "If I had Spirit of Fire with me, I wouldn't have to walk, don't you think so Anna?" Anna just closed her eyes and looked away. "Don't you want a nice conversation while we're walking?"

Anna just crossed her arms and looked away from Hao. 'Why won't you just shut up and leave me alone!'

Hao has read her mind and immediately answered, "I really don't have a choice to leave you alone. By the way, don't you get bored just sitting there and ignoring me? You really should change your mood…I wonder how Yoh survives with all your nagging…"

"Full house!" Ren revealed his cards to everyone else smiling.

"Death house!" Ryo and Lyserg revealed their hands to everyone.

Manta and Faust showed their hands to everybody, "Flush!"

"Royal Flush!" Jun said happily as he placed her cards on the table while everyone stared in shock.

"Two pairs!" Horohoro and Yoh shouted out together. "Looks like it's just you and me! Highest pairs win!" Horohoro revealed his hand showing two jacks and a pair of tens. Yoh grinned and put down his hand, revealing a pair of kings and a pair of aces.

"NOOO! I LOST AGAIN! I can't live with only half a bowl of rice for lunch!" Horohoro cried anime style. "I guess luck's not on my side…"

"Chill Horo…you can eat as much as you want, we'll just cancel the bet as long as you do the dishes when we get back home, deal?" Yoh smiled at his friend who also smiled back at him in happy anime tears. Yoh looked out the window and wondered how Anna was doing, and then Silva suddenly entered the room.

"Only five hours and fifteen more minutes before we get to Patch village" Silva said. "Why don't you go to the dinning room and eat, lunch is served"

"Yeah, we need all the energy we can get before fighting Hao" Yoh went in the dinning room and started thinking which food will he eat first, there was a lot of food on the table.

"A buffet! That's so cool dude! Thanks Silva! You're the man!" Horohoro grabbed all sorts of food and put it on his plate.

"Yes well, I hope you enjoy the food" said Silva. "After lunch, you may want to get some rest. It is exactly 12:30 pm, and we'll be arriving at Dobie village at exactly 6:00 pm."

Back at the Asakura residence, Tamao and Pirika were just sitting beside Anna in her room.

"When do you think they'll come back?" Tamao asked Pirika.

"I don't know, probably two days from now" Pirika answered as she stood up and looked outside the window. "I believe in them, and I believe they'll come home soon with Anna's spirit."

"Uhh…huh?" Yoh suddenly shot up from his bed and looked at the time. "5:00? What a weird dream I had, I dreamt that we were going to Patch village to cure Anna's coma by…"

Yoh heard a knock from the door and in entered Silva. "I over heard you saying that this was a dream…well it's not, it's for real. You better be ready, we're landing on the designated location in and hour."

"I see…" Yoh looked out side the window and saw the blue sky with a slight orange color. "Time to get up and get ready. It looks like it's going to be a tough match against Hao"

"We should be ready for anything Yoh" Amidamaru appeared behind Yoh. "Let is just hope that he has not summoned spirit of fire yet."

"Finally, we're here Anna" Hao spoke to the red orb. "Now it's time to do your job."

Anna closed her eyes and turned away from Hao, "Job? I don't remember agreeing to come here and I don't remember saying 'yes' to you!"

Hao sighed, "Don't be stubborn right now. I'm still in a calm mood right now, and you don't want to make me angry." Anna remained silent in the same position she was in before. "You're not going to summon spirit of fire, are you?"

"Nope" Anna simply answered still not moving from the same position.

"Too bad, but you're going to summon it anyway whether you like it or not!" Hao said as he lifted the orb containing Anna's spirit.

"What are you doing!" Anna glared at Hao as he threw her in the air

"As you can see, I am a shaman, and you are a spirit!" Hao said with an evil smile forming in his face.

"…" Anna stared in disbelif as she realized what was going on. "NO!"

"Anna! Spirit Ball Mode!" Anna could not stop her actions for she was in the orb that was being controlled by Hao. "HYO GATTAI!" Hao clutched the shining red orb and pushed it towards his heart until he was at 100 spirit unity. "Now that I have your power Anna, it's time to summon the spirit of fire!"

"I'm sorry Yoh…" Anna closed her eyes while she was inside Hao while he chanted the words used for summoning spirits. Hao was in complete control over her spirit, and there was nothing she could not do.

"Ah, spirit of fire…it's so nice to see you again…" spirit of fire put down his open hand and let Hao ride on it. "Now all we need to do is wait for my little brother and his friends to show up, then the fun will begin"
