Keyran helped Kyle up the fight with raven had taken a lot out of him.

"Lets get out of here" keyran said.

"You're not going anywhere"

Everyone turned to see claw standing on the edge of the ring.

"Claw" everyone said.

"What do you want" keyran demanded.

"I want you and your friend Kyle. You see there's a price on your heads" claw told them

Claw clenched his fist and revealed his twin blades.

"And I intend to collect the bounty"

Claw jumped off the ringside and charged at Kyle and keyran wu long was about to help but he was knocked out by spike.

"No you don't this is between Kyle keyran and claw" spike said.

Claw tried to slash Kyle but keyran blocked the attacked.

"Hey you're going to have to deal with me first claw" keyran told him.

"As you wish" claw replied.

Claw went for keyran but keyran dodged out of the way. Both started to fight but claw had the advantage soon claw managed to slash keyran across the chest.

"Keyran" Kyle shouted.

Kyle tried to help his friend but claw was to fast and kicked Kyle in the face knocking him out. Keyran clawed to the side of the ring and propped him self up. Claw ran towards him but before he could attack Yoh jumped in front of him holding one half of ravens staff.

"Now you've got me to deal with claw," Yoh told the bounty hunter.

"Don't make me laugh kid your no match for me" claw replied.

"Don't do it Yoh" keyran pleaded.

"Keyran Kyle risked everything to save me now it's time to repay him"

Yoh got ready to fight.

"Your going to wish you never met Kyle" claw told him.

"No matter what you do claw I'll never regret meeting Kyle" Yoh said.

Claw charged at Yoh and Yoh got ready to defend him self. Claw attacked and Yoh blocked claw's blades with the half of raven's staff.

"Not bad" claw said.

Claw spun around and kicked Yoh in the face. Yoh fell to the ground.

"You should have listed to keyran Yoh"

Claw kicked Yoh in the side.

"Come on kid show me what you got" claw yelled.

Yoh grabbed his stick and wicked claw in the leg. Claw laughed.

"Now that's more like it," he mocked.

Yoh got up.

"You haven't seen anything yet," Yoh told him.

Yoh attacked claw with the stick but claw blocked the attack and then claw cut yoh's weapon in two.

"Now your mine little boy"

Claw punched Yoh in the face and stared to beat Yoh up. Yoh tried to defend him self but it was no use claw was too strong.

"Yoh" Anna shouted.

She felt so helpless as claw hit Yoh with one punch after another and tears begin to fall down her face. Yoh fell to the ground and claw stood over him ready to finish him off. Anna knew she had to do something.

Claw raised his claws ready to give Yoh a final blow when Anna jumped on to his back and grabbed his neck.

"Anna" Yoh shouted.

Claw threw Anna to the ground and kicked her in the stomach. Anna let out a scream of pain. Yoh looked on in horror as claw threw Anna against the side of the ring. Yoh could now feel his anger growing inside of him.

"You should have stayed out of this" claw told Anna.

Claw kicked Anna once again and this made Yoh exploded with anger.

"LET HER GO" Yoh screamed.

Yoh ran up to claw and hit him so hard claw fell to the ground keyran couldn't believe his eyes.

"Yoh got a hidden fighting potential," he said.

Claw got back up and attacked.

"Cable claw"

Claw's blades flew at Yoh but Yoh grabbed them and pulled claw towards him and punched him again. Claw attacked Yoh with anything he had but Yoh blocked every blow. Yoh grabbed claws arm and kicked him. Claw flew across the ring and hit the ground.

"No one messes with my fiancé and gets away with it"

"That's what you think"

Claw charged at Yoh and tried to slash him with his blades Yoh dodged the attack and kicked claw in the chest and finished him off with a roundhouse kick. Claw fell to the ground and was now unable to fight Yoh had beaten him.

"Anna" he said as he ran over to her.

Yoh held Anna in his arms.

"Anna speak to me"

Anna slowly opened her eyes.

"Yoh" she said softy.

Yoh hugged Anna she was pretty badly beaten up but she was ok.

Soon Kyle and the others were taken to the local hospital and everyone was ok. Luckily claw hadn't hit anything vital when claw slashed him and Kyle Yoh and Anna just need to have a good rest.

A day latter Anna sat in one of the wards looking out of the window.

"Looking at anything interesting"

Anna turned to see Yoh.

"Yoh what are you doing up you should be resting" Anna said.

"I was bored so I thought I'd see how you were doing" Yoh told her.

He sat next to her.

"So how do you feel?" Yoh asked.

"Still a bit sore what about you" Anna asked.

"Just a few aches and pains but I'll be ok"

Anna turned to Yoh.

"I want to thank you for saving me" she said

"Hey I should be the one thanking you if you didn't grab claw when you did I'd be gone"

"I had to do something I don't know what I'd do with out you" Anna said softly.

Yoh ran his fingers threw Anna's hair.

"For as long as we love each other no one can keep us apart" Yoh said.

Yoh and Anna kissed each other it was a moment they would both treasure for a long time.

In another ward Kyle and keyran sat talking then wu long arrived.

"I see you two are feeling better" wu long said as he walked into the room.

"Just a few bruisers but keyrans going to have a nice scar on his chest" Kyle told him.

"Other than that I'm fine" keyran added.

"Did you find out who knocked you out?" Kyle asked.

"No but who ever it was must have been strong" wu long replied.

"Looks like claw wasn't working alone" keyran said.

"Oh by the way I have something for you Kyle"

Wu long handed Kyle a letter.

"Whose it from" Kyle asked.

"The fight organiser at the ring asked me to give it to you" wu long explained.

Kyle opened the letter and started to read it.

"Sounds interesting" wu long said.

"Yeah it's a chance to free everyone at the ring," Kyle said.

"Well I'm in" keyran said

"Me too" wu long added.

"All right then as soon as we get out of the hospital we'll go and see this ring master" Kyle said.

Meanwhile at the ring the fight organiser was talking with the ringmaster.

"Are you sure this will work master"

The unseen figure of the ringmaster stood at the back the room.

"Of cause it will they can't really turn us down" the ringmaster said.

"What if they realise it's a trap," the fight organiser asked.

"Even if they do they'll still come it's there only chance to free everyone and when there here there gonna get a big surprise"

The ringmaster walked into the light and revealed him self to be non other than Kyle's twin brother spike.
