Chapter 5: Bad News.

You are surprised to see Ren.
He has a large carton of milk on the table and a glass. He glances at you before pouring a glass of milk for himself. You walk towards the door, but think otherwise about it. You pretend to have been pacing around the room. You then take a seat across Ren. You don't stare at him, but he seams to be staring at you. You try to ignore the fact that he is watching your every move, and you go and wash your face at the sink. Ren finishes the glass of milk but automatically pours another one. He has a milk mustache, which makes you smile a bit to yourself.
You sit down again and you hear footsteps coming down the stairs. You see Manta coming down. "Good morning" you say. Manta nods at you. Is he traumatized by last night? you ask yourself. Manta goes to the fridge and begins making eggs.
How do you like your eggs?" he asks shakily.
"Anything is fine." you say cheerfully. He begins making eggs by the hundreds it seams. When he is done with 5 batches of scrambled and sunny side up eggs, he goes to the fridge and pulls out 2 boxes of bacon. He lets one sizzle in the pan for a few minutes until the smell fills the house. You hear running foot steps down the stairs. And Horo arrives at the table ready to eat. Manta sets the food down on the table in front of Horo and says, "You shouldn't be such a pig!" Horo already has a mouthful of bacon and eggs and says,
"too bad."
"Blah blah blah.." imitates Manta. "Don't talk with your mouthfull." he adds. Horo roles his eyes. Yoh comes down shortly and sits next to you.
"How did you sleep?" asks Yoh.
"Fine thank you..." you say. "And you?"
"Great." says Yoh with a grin. You are still suspicious of him but you decide to be nice. After breakfast you, Yoh, Horo, and Manta all go to the park. You have good talk with all of them except Ren who is sitting in a corner on a bench reading the newspaper. You glance over to what he is reading. And you are shocked at what you see. Your eyes widen as you stair as if in a trance at the paper. Ren puts it down and shouts, "What the hell are you looking at!" Your eyes stay transfixed on the newspaper. He sets the newspaper the bench next to him. He stands and walks towards you.
"I got to go..." you say running the other way. Horo begins to run after you.
"Where are you going?" shouts Horo. You just keep running. Horo runs after you. While you are running the words from the wanted poster are scrambling in you head
Girl suspected for murdering 17 innocent victims. Wanted in 2 other states.
I knew I'd get caught someday. He's going to kill me... and this time for real... You run back to Hao's house. You open the door and Hao is waiting there, He waves a paper in your face. "LOOK AT THIS! WHAT IS THIS!" You take the paper. It it's the same newspaper clipping Ren had. "What does it look like? Can you read?"
"I knew it was wrong to kill."
"Don't be stupid!" Hao sneers.
"Look who's talking!" you shout.

"SILENCE!" shouts Hao. "Should have done this a long time ago!" he shouts. Hao then summons his spirit. You had only seen his spirit 3 times in your whole life. "SPIRIT OF FIRE!" Hao shouts. Suddenly a huge claw of fire swipes you let. You scream in pain and fall to the ground. Sano rushes to your side.
"You have to get out of here!" he says. Ignoring you pain, as Hao had taught you to do, You get up and start running.
"Where do you think your going?" Shouts Hao. You open the door. You are so engaged and what you are trying to do you don't notice Horo who had been looking through the window. You just keep running. "Kaida! Wait!" shouts Horo. You just keep running. You stop and pant for a second. then start running again..

now we're in the present.

Suddenly you find that you are face to face with Hao. Hatred fills your eyes. Hao's hands enflame and you take a step back. Only to back into Horo who is running at full speed behind you. Hao grabs your arm with his fiery hand and it begins to burn. Your clothes begin to fuse to your arm.
"aaaaaaaaah!" you scream in pain.
Then he lets go, not because you screamed, but to watch you suffer. Then Horo grabs your good arm and begins to run. Half dragging you as he did when you were running away from the old man.
"There's no way we'll lose him," you say while panting.
"He can tele..."
But you become unconscious before you can finish your sentence. Hao had blasted you with a huge amount of fiery air. It didn't as much burn you as it did knock you out of consciousness. You suddenly collapse on Horo and he almost loses balance.
"Kaida?" Horo says. After realizing that there is now way that he can get you to wake up, He picks you up and begins running. Hao appears in front of Horo.
