Yoh sat by a window in Morton A and E his arm had been bandaged up but it still hurt a bit.

"How are you feeling"?

Yoh turned to see Kyle.

"I'm fine the doctor says I can go home"

"Looks like I came just right"

"Did you find the guy that took Anna?" Yoh asked.

Kyle shuck his head.

"I'm afraid not"

Yoh lowered his head.

"Oh Anna I wasn't able to protect you" Yoh said as tears begin to form in his eye's.

"Don't worry Yoh we'll find her"

Yoh turned to the window as tears begin to fall down his face.

"You don't relies how much you care about someone until there gone" Yoh said softly

"I know how you feel I didn't relies how much I cared about some until she was gone"

"What happened" Yoh asked.

"I ran away from home and left her behind. It wasn't her fault I just had to go"

"What was her name?"

"Mariah. I was a bit of a rebel when I was a kid and she was the only one I'd listen to"

"Anna's the same she may be strict but she does it for my own good. If she didn't I would get anything done.

Kyle put his hand on Yoh shoulder.

"Come on lets go and find here"

Yoh nodded and left with Kyle.

Meanwhile Anna found her self looked in a cellar.

"I hope you like the accommodation my dear" claw came into view

"Who are you" Anna demanded.

"My names claw"

"Tell me did you give your self that name"

"I see we have a bit of an attitude problem Anna. If you must know I was given my name by my master the great dark wolf"

"So why have you brought me here" Anna asked.

"I'm a bounty hunter and someone has put a price on young Asakura's head"

"Who"

"My client chooses to remain anonymous"

"So I'm the bate am I"

Anna picked up a stick and held it behind her back so claw didn't see it.

"That's right as soon as your Fiancée knows where you are he'll come to rescue you"

"But there's something you don't relies I don't need rescuing"

With that Anna hit claw around the head and ran for the door but it was locked.

"There's not escape little girl" claw shouted though the darkness.

Without any warning claw appeared and grabbed Anna.

"Now you've made me angry" claw snarled.

Claw threw Anna to the ground Anna got back up but claw grabbed her again.

"Let me go" Anna yelled as she tried to brake free.

Claw smiled evilly to him self "as you wish"

Claw threw Anna up against a wall Anna was now afraid. Claw grabbed her again and dragged her over to a wall and chained her to it.

"I didn't what to do this but you leave me with no choice"

Claw finished chaining Anna up and turned to leave.

"May be now you'll learn some respect" claw said as he left the room.

On the other side of town Yoh sat by the door of a pub. Kyle was at the bar getting some information from the bar tender. Yoh's thoughts were still on Anna and what had happened at Kyle's house he played it in his mind over and over again. Thinking of a way it could have been different. A tear ran down yoh's face, which he quickly wiped from his face when he saw Kyle walking towards him.

"Any luck" the boy asked.

"No I'm afraid jay hasn't heard anything"

Kyle and Yoh had been all over Morton looking for Anna but no one seemed to know anything or were too afraid of claw to say anything.

"So what do we do now Kyle"

"Were going to have to find some of claws ninjas but they only operate at night"

Yoh and Kyle headed back to Kyle's house to get some rest as they had been up most of the night. Soon darkness fell and Kyle and Yoh went out to search for the ninjas. They searched most of the town but couldn't find any of claws ninjas. They came to Morton's town square.

"There's just no sine of them," Yoh said as he sat on a seat.

"Yeah I would have thought we'd have found some of them by now"

"Man were never going to find Anna" Yoh punched the seat in desperation.

Things were looking hopeless but then Kyle saw something.

"Hello" Kyle said.

"What is it" you stood up.

In the distance 3 men could be seen heading for the square. Kyle and Yoh found somewhere to hide. The men walked up to the shops on the square.

"Looks like some midnight shopping" Kyle turned to Yoh.

"Shall we make sure they pay for there goods"?

Yoh nodded. Kyle and Yoh headed towards the men.

"There's a nice hi fi in that shop" one of the men said.

"Shame it's closed" the second man said sarcastically.

"Well soon fix that," the third man said.

The man picked up a brick and threw it at the shop window smashing it.

"Didn't anyone ever tell you it's wrong to smash windows"?

All 3 men turned to see Kyle.

"Who the hell are you?" one of the men said.

"Your worst nightmare" Kyle told them.

"Your going to stop us are you," one of the other men mocked.

"That's right"

"Lets get rid of this guy"

Two of the men walked towards Kyle.

"I'll take you down in one blow" one of the men boasted

"Take you best shot"

The man went to punch Kyle but Kyle grabbed his arm and twisted it behind his back. The other man went to attack Kyle but Kyle just kicked him and knocked him to the ground. The remaining man turn to run but ran into Yoh.

"Get out of my way kid"

Yoh didn't move so the man pulled out a knife and went for Yoh. Yoh blocked it and knocked the man to the ground. Kyle turned to the man he was holding.

"Now who's you boss"

The man didn't answer Kyle twisted the man arm more.

"Ok ok" the man yelled.

"He's a guy called claw"

"Looks like we've got our first lead Yoh" Kyle turned back to the man.

"Do you know where claws base is?"

"As far as I know it's on the east end of town"

Soon the police arrived and took the 3 men away.

"Well that's that" Yoh said as the police van left.

"Yeah and now we have a lead to find Anna"

Kyle and Yoh turned to leave. On a roof top near by a figure in a long black coat watched Kyle and Yoh leave.

"Well well if it isn't the batman and robin of Foxly Island. I hope you get a good night sleep because guess what children spike's in town and things are about to get very interesting"
