~*~M.C.~*~: Hey guys! Sorry it took me awhile to update. I had a huge party last night and I've been busy with school and everything. But I'm back and I hope you enjoy chapter three of Fate Fell Short This Time.
Hao: Yah1 You better enjoy it! Cause I win in this chapter!
~*~M.C.~*~: Hao! Don't spoil it! No need to worry folks! I don't own Shaman King and Hao will never win! LOL!
Yoh and Anna: *laughing at Hao*
Hao: '…'
Fate Fell Short This Time - Why Wont You Die?!
Anna gasped as Hao and Obacho launched their attack on her. They were about to strike her when Amidamaru blocked the attack. "Yoh may be gone," said Amidamaru, "But I'm not!" He sent Hao flying in the opposite direction.
"Obacho," stressed Hao.
"Yes master," said Obacho. Obacho launched an attack on Amidamaru and pinned him to the ground.
"Now," said Hao. "Where was I? Ah yes! I was going to destroy Yoh once and for all!" Hao put his sword up in the air.
"No!" said Anna. "I wont let you!" She put her body over Yoh's to protect him. "You'll never destroy Yoh! Never!"
"We'll see about that," said Hao. He was about to attack Anna again when Amidamaru pushed Obacho off of him and blocked Hao's attack once again. Amidamaru put a protective shield around them.
"Anna," said Amidamaru. "See if you can contact Yoh's spirit and get him to come back."
"Okay," nodded Anna. She placed Yoh's head in her lap carefully and took of her spirit beads. She held them in front of her, closed her eyes, and began to chant her spell. 'Spirits of the unknown, if you can hear me, I wish to speak with the one called Yoh.' Amidamaru watched Anna. But Hao was trying to break through the barrier. 'Yoh, I know you can hear me. Please come out!'
Just then Hao broke through the barrier. "Ha!" said Hao
"No," said Amidamaru.
Hao was heading towards Anna and Yoh's defenceless body. "Your spell and pitiful attempt to bring Yoh back is useless."
"You're wrong, Hao," spat Anna, without looking at him. 'Yoh are you there?'
'Anna,' called Yoh.
'Yoh,' said Anna happily. 'You're alright! You have to come back to us please!'
'I'm fine, Anna,' reassured Yoh. 'What's wrong?'
'Hao's trying to kill us all!' said Anna.
'What?' said Yoh all confused.
'He managed to take your soul away from you and transfer your soul to inside in his body,' explained Anna. 'And now he's trying to kill me and Amidamaru.'
"Anna, dear!" said Hao. "Face it you're never going to get Yoh back, so give up all ready! It's time for me to finish you once and for all!" Hao formed a ball of energy in his hand and sent it straight to Anna.
"Uh," said Anna, who struggled to keep her balance and keep her contact with Yoh.
'Anna,' said Yoh. 'Anna, are you alright?'
Anna took a while to reply. Then she said, 'Yah, I'm fine, Yoh. But, you need to get back into your body right now! Before we all end up like you!'
'How?' asked Yoh.
"There is no way, bro," said Hao who could here the conversation because Yoh was inside of his mind.
'There is a way, Yoh,' said Anna who didn't feel 100%. 'Using my powers of the spirit beads I should be able to bring you back.'
"I'd like to see you try, dear Anna," laughed Hao.
'Fine,' said Anna, 'I will.'
'But Anna,' interrupted Yoh, 'You're power level isn't at full strength. If you try this you could end up really hurt.'
'I don't care!' said Anna. 'And besides! If I don't bring you back, think of what Hao will do to the whole world. If you, the Shaman King, are gone forever the runner-up will take your place. Which means I have to marry Hao!'
"What," said Hao, "And that's a bad thing?" Hao laughed.
'But Anna,' Yoh tried to reason with her. 'Your health.'
'No,' said Anna. 'I don't care! I'm bring you back and that's final!'
'Man, she can be so stubborn,' thought Yoh.
'I heard that!' said Anna who was preparing to bring Yoh back.
'…' Yoh.
'There,' said Anna. 'I'm ready. Yoh, go into spirit form.'
'Huh?' said Yoh all confused.
'…' Anna. 'You're a spirit, Yoh! You can change into spirit form! Now do it!'
'Alright all ready,' said Yoh. 'No need to yell.' Yoh turned into his spirit form.
'Good,' said Anna. 'Now, Yoh, come to the light.'
Yoh followed Anna's directions.
Hao was growing fearful. "No!" he said. "What are you doing Yoh?! Get back here! Don't go to the light!"
'Make me!' spat Yoh.
'No,' thought Hao. 'If Anna is able to revive Yoh, then it's all over! I need to think of something and fast!'
Hao made another ball of energy and it was powering up in his hand. He was ready to strike. When he thought the bal of energy was strong enough he shot it at Anna. 'Direct hit!' Hao thought.
"Uh.." said Anna as she was sent flying and trying her best to keep connection with Yoh.
'Anna!' said Yoh. 'Anna, forget about me! You're in too much pain.'
Anna found the strength to get up and said, 'No! We need you back in our world, not in Hao's mind! Now get ready, because it's time to come back!' Anna formed her spirit beads into a circle and put it around Yoh's spirit form. 'Now!' said Anna. She lifted her necklace into the air and placed it over Yoh's head. 'He should be back,' thought Anna happily. Just then she felt that all of her energy was drained from her, and her fell to her knees.
"Aw," mocked Hao. "Poor Anna wasting all of her energy bring back her weak fiancée, Yoh."
"Shut it!" said Anna in pain. Anna crawled towards Yoh's body and placed his head in her lap again. "Yoh," said Anna softly. "Wake up. I know you can hear me." Anna brushed some of Yoh's hairs out of his face and kissed his lips gently. Then he shifted his weight in Anna's arms. "Yoh?" questioned Anna. Yoh moaned then slowly opened his eyes. "Yoh!" said Anna happily as she hugged him tightly.
"Uh…,"said Yoh weakly. "Anna, you're chocking me!"
"Oh," said Anna as she released him. "Sorry."
"It's okay," said Yoh as he smiled weakly and looked into her eyes.
"Dammit, Yoh!" yelled Hao. "Why wont you die?!"
"Stop being a swore loser, Hao," said Yoh as he got up slowly.
"Be careful, Yoh," said Anna.
"Welcome back!" said Amidamaru.
"Thanks," said Yoh.
"No!" said Hao. "This can't be happening!!!! I will not lose!"
"Ready, Amidamaru?" asked Yoh.
"You bet!" said Amidamaru.
"Spirit For- -" Yoh was cut off by Hao.
"Wait!" said Hao. "How about a little one on one action?"
"Huh?" said Yoh.
"You know," said Hao. "Me vs. you only. No help from our spirits nothing."
"Yoh," said Anna. "You can't do that! you're still too weak."
"I accept," said Yoh.
"What!" said Amidamaru and Anna.
"You heard me, Hao," said Yoh. "I accept!"
"Perfect." Agreed Hao. "Let our game begin! And just so you know, Yoh, I plan on winning this time."
"Ha!" laughed Yoh. "You wish!"
