Yoh and the others were now busy training. Yoh's dream and the events of the last night were still running though his head and he was determined no one else got hurt. Yoh's anger started to get the better of him and he soon knocked a punching bag to the ground. Everyone turned to him.

"You ok dude" horo asked.

"I'm alright," Yoh said.

"You sure" horo added.

Horo but his hand on yoh's shoulder. Yoh knocked horo's hand away.

"I said I was fine" Yoh snapped.

Yoh calmed down and turned to horo.

"I'm sorry horo," Yoh said.

Yoh walked off.

"Looks like what happened to Ryu has hit Yoh hard" horo said.

"That's not the half of it" Anna said.

"What do you mean" ren asked.

"Yoh had a bad dream last night" Anna answed.

"What happened in it" ren asked.

"Claw killed us" Anna replied.

Yoh found a quiet spot to sit but he wasn't alone.

"What's up Yoh" celvin asked.

Yoh turned to the white tiger.

"It's nothing," Yoh said.

"Really" celvin said.

Celvin sat down next to Yoh.

"I heard about last night" celvin said.

"I don't know what I'm going to do. I know Ryu going to be ok but the next person claw has a go at might not be so lucky"

"This is what claw does Yoh. He goes after the things close to you so you'll get angry and go after him"

"I've already had a go at Anna and horo," Yoh said.

"It's easy for me to say but don't let him get to you. That's what he wants" celvin said.

"I know but he's not my only problem someone still has my friend manta"

"Well while you fight your match me Kyle and a few others are going to search for him again"

"Thank you celvin. How's coal by the way?"

"He came round last night so he should be out of hospital in a week or two"

"I'm glad he's all right," Yoh said.

Yoh stood up.

"Well I best get ready for the match"

"Your fighting dead eye's team aren't you"

"Yeah" Yoh said.

"If you fight dead eye go behind he left shoulder he has a blind spot with him only having one eye" celvin explained.

"What happened to his eye" Yoh asked.

"He lost it during a sword fight with me years ago" celvin replied.

"So I guess you two are arch enemies then"

"We sure are, be careful dead eye and the others are not to be underestimated"

"Thanks celvin"

Yoh turned and left.

Soon it was time for the match against team dead eye and Anna had decided to join team asakura in ryu's place. The first fight was between ren and red fox.

"Let the fight begin" the announcer yelled.

Ren and red fox started to fight there weapons clashed sending sparks everywhere and it looked like ren and red fox were a match for each other red fox came in with his swords and red blocked with his kwon do. Ren attacked just missing red fox but ren spun around and hit red fox under the chin red fox staged back as ren attacked again red fox bloacked the attack but ren knocked red fox down and before he could get back up ren placed his kwo do to red fox's throat.

"I guess I win"

Red fox accepted defeat and ren won the fight. Next up was horo and grey wolf. The two began to fight and horo was surprised how fast grey wolf could move. But horo held strong and managed to hold him both fighters parted.

"Your not bad kid" grey wolf said.

"You haven't seen anything yet" horo replied.

The two started to fight again exchanging blow after blow Grey wolf went for horo and horo dodged out of the way and hit grey wolf on the back. Grey wolf then spun around and punched horo in the side and then kicked him in the face. Horo fell to the ground.

"Man this guys good" horo said to him self.

Horo charged at grey wolf and tried to punch him. Grey wolf blocked the attack and sent horo crashing to the ground again.

"As much as I'm enjoying this fight I'm afraid I'm going to have to end it," dead eye told horo.

As horo got up grey wolf charged at him and hit him with one of his attacks.

"Wolf claw" he yelled.

Grey wolf hit horo across the chest and horo fell to his knees. Grey wolf then kicked horo out of the ring.

"And the 2nd fight goes to team dead eye" the announcer said.

Horo walked back to his friends he had a few cuts a bruisers but he was ok. Anna decided to fight next and her opponent was mask. Both walked up to each other.

"I have to fight you" mask said.

"Something wrong with that" Anna replied.

"No it's just funny" mask told Anna.

Anna shot mask her death glare.

"Oh you won't be laughing when I'm done with you" Anna said.

"Let the fight begin"

Mask tried to punch Anna. Anna blocked mask's strike and punched him. Mask couldn't believe how hard Anna hit him. Yoh and the others flinched.

"Oh that's gotta hurt" Yoh said.

Mask rubbed his cheek and looked at Anna.

"Oh your going to get it now" mask shouted.

A circular saw blade appeared under his hand.

"Terror saw" mask yelled.

Mask threw the saw blade at Anna. Anna dodged the blade and ran up to mask and punched him in the stomach mask fell to his knees.

"Your not laughing now mask" Anna said.

Anna smiled to her self. Mask now looked really angry.

"Your going down" mask shouted.

Mask charged at Anna but Anna grabbed him.

"I'm afraid you're the one who's going down," she said.

Anna threw mask into the side of the arena and out of the ring. Anna had won.

"She did it" horo yelled.

"Of cause she did" Yoh said.

"Remind me never to get on Anna's bad side" ren added.

Anna walked up to Yoh ren and a excited horo horo.

"You rule Anna" horo said.

"I do don't I" Anna replied.

"You sure were impressive out there Anna" ren told her.

"Yeah well done Anna" Yoh said.

"And now is time for our next fight. From team asakura is the team captain Yoh and his opponent is the one and only dead eye" the announcer said.

"Looks like I'm up"

Yoh got up to head to the ring.

"Good luck Yoh" Anna said.

"Yeah remember if you win this were in the semi finals" horo told Yoh.

"And make sure you come back in one piece" ren added.

Yoh nodded.

"Thanks guys" he said as he left for the ring.

Yoh and dead eye entered the ring and walked up to each other.

"I've been looking forward to this "dead eye told Yoh.

"You have" Yoh replied.

"Yes it's not everyday you get to fight someone as good as you"

Dead eye drew his sword.

"So you want a sword fight do you," Yoh said.

"Is that a problem" dead eye asked.

Yoh saw Anna with his sword.

"No" Yoh replied.

Anna threw Yoh his sword and dead eye and Yoh got ready to fight.

"Let the fight begin"
