A/N- Ok will try to make the story more descriptive and longer. But I should say that this story follows the original quite closely until the ending fight. And I have a sequel!

Chapter 8- Hostage Crisis

Recap

"Chapter 6," Yoh said, "Tokageroh's revenge plan fails. Anna can show the door to the spirit world." So her name is Anna! I realized, that blonde haired girl.

"I'm not going anywhere," Tokageroh said.

"Yes you are!" Yoh insisted.

"Lets skip ahead to the next chapter," Tokageroh continued, "Chapter Seven; where it looks like the unbeaten bandit has been beaten. But wait! Tokageroh has a few tricks left in his bag. He distracts his enemies by narrating a lengthy speech as if he were writing a book while walking backwards with a step in his reputed namesake. No one knows what he is about to do."

By this time Tokageroh had moved back a few spaces and no one had really anticipated what his next move would be.

"While they listen to him ramble," he continued, "his hand reaches for a weapon that will turn certain defeat… into victory!"

I realized it now! He was reaching for the other half of the sword!

End of Recap

I couldn't let that happen and tried to stop myself and surprisingly it worked! My hand stopped short of sword, caught in a spasm with two conflicting desires. I fought hard to regain control of my body and kick him out.

"I told you not to fight back!" Tokageroh said.

"But I never do what I'm told!" I retorted.

"Wow. Its like a split personality." Morty commented, seeing my argue with myself.

"While Karuri is casting him out," Anna said taking off her beads, "I'm crossing him over!'

"Wait." Yoh said, "Maybe Tokageroh wants to come out on his own and we can be friends."

"You're not serious!" Anna said, with an incredulous expression.

"I can tell Tokageroh isn't as bad as he wants us to think he is. So why don't you come on out of there Tokageroh?" then Yoh offered his hand as I was on the floor.

"Are you serious?" Tokageroh asked, "And how do I know you won't just knock me back into the spirit world?"

"That's a good question," Yoh said thoughtfully then said, "how about you…enter my body instead?"

"Yoh!" Amidamaru said, totally objecting to the whole idea, "This is a dangerous man! He is not to be trusted!"

"He's right," Tokageroh agreed, "I might just use you to pull of the greatest heist of the new millennium."

"That's a chance I'm willing to take," Yoh said, then turned to Amidamaru, "I got this one buddy." Yoh took out this stone and I heard Amidamaru shout "Yoh!" as he disappeared into it.

Then my whole body felt light then heavy again as Tokageroh prepared to leave my body. I was brought to my knees as his force left me and then I collapsed to the floor. Then Tokageroh entered Yoh and the force knocked him to the floor.

When Yoh got up he looked different. And not in a good way.

"He he. This guy is much better." Tokageroh smirked. Then he got hold of the latter half of the sword and held it to his neck.

"Chapter Eight; wherein Tokageroh pulls off another great score. The great one, surprises all and steals the life of a young shaman."

This is just great, I thought to myself, the first guy I fall in love with and he's gonna be dead!

"Yoh!" Morty shouted.

I couldn't say anything, I was too shocked.

"Your friend Yoh isn't taking any calls right now but you can leave a message. I'll be sure he gets it in the great beyond." Tokageroh/Yoh grinned.

A/N- Wow what an exciting chapter! Now Tokageroh has a hold of Yoh's body, is he really gonna use it to pull of the greatest heist of the new millennium? How will Yoh get out of this one? Find out the next gripping episode of First Encounter! cue cheesy theme song
