Yoh lay in a hospital bed with Anna by his side. She held yoh's hand between her hands.

"Please be alright Yoh" Anna said.

A single tear ran down Anna's face.

"Any change"

Anna looked up to see Kyle coming into the room.

"No. What did the doctor say?" Anna asked.

"It looks like Yoh was hit with a tranquilliser the doctor say's he should wake up when it wares off" Kyle explained.

Anna looked relived.

"Good" she said.

Anna turned to Yoh.

"Don't sleep to long Yoh," she said.

"Where are ren and horo by the way?" Kyle asked.

"They've gone to find out how's Ryu doing"

There was a knock at the door and Kyle turned to see will in the doorway.

"Will your back did you find anything," Kyle asked.

"Not much the place was pretty deserted but it looked like someone had been there recently" will replied.

Will put his hand into his pocket and pulled out a few strips of cloth.

"We found this in one of the rooms"

Will handed the cloth to Kyle. Kyle turned to Anna.

"You think this could have come off mantas clothes," Kyle asked.

"Yeah he's the only one who wares pj's like that" Anna replied.

"So he was there," Kyle said.

Kyle turned back to will.

"Did you find anything else" Kyle asked.

"No but celvin and the others are searching the area around there warehouse to see if they can find where manta went" will explained.

"Hay did you know keyrans team started there match" will said.

"Oh man I forgot about that" Kyle replied.

"Their fighting claws team aren't they?" Anna asked.

"Yeah and who ever wins will face your team" Kyle told Anna.

"I better go and see who wins" Kyle said.

"Kyle tell keyran to get claw and Carlos for me" Anna said.

"Sure will" Kyle said as he left.

Kyle arrived at the ring and keyran claw were already fighting and it didn't look like keyran wasn't doing to well. Kyle soon found Alex.

"Kyle" Alex said.

"What have I missed?" Kyle asked his brother.

"Quite a bit Antony and Jane have already been beaten by the chaos brothers now it's down to keyran" Alex replied.

Kyle watched as claw attacked keyran. Keyran was struggling to defend him self. Claw gave keyran a kick in the face sending him to the ground.

"Doesn't look like he's going to win this" Kyle said.

Claw walked up to keyran.

"Getting tied are we" claw mocked.

Claw kicked keyran again.

"Maybe I should just finish you off keyran" claw said.

"Be my guest" keyran replied.

Claw picked keyran up and threw him across the ring. Keyran hit the ground again.

"I think I'll have some more fun with you first" claw told keyran.

Keyran got up as claw charged at him. Keyran tried to defend himself as claw attacked but claw was now too strong claw sent keyran to the ground again. Claw picked keyran up again.

"I guess playtimes over" claw said.

Claw gave keyran another kick sending him out of the ring.

"And with that win team claw go into the semi finals and will face team asakura" the fight announcer said.

Claw headed out of the ring.

"Hey claw"

Claw turned to see Kyle.

"Don't think you'll get away with what you did to Yoh" Kyle told him.

"Oh I've done nothing yet" claw said.

Claw left the ring.

"What did he mean by that?" Alex asked.

"I don't know but I bet it's nothing good" Kyle said.

After Kyle had made sure keyran and the others were all right he headed back to the hospital to see how Yoh was. Anna was still sitting with him.

"So how did that match go?" Anna asked.

"Keyrans team lost. Your fighting claw in the semi finals" Kyle said.

Anna remained silent.

"How is he" Kyle asked.

"The same" Anna said sadly.

"Don't worry Anna he wake up soon enough" Kyle told her.

"How's Ryu by the way" Kyle asked.

"He came around not long after you left. He still a bit weak but he should be ok" Anna said.

"I'm glad he's alright," Kyle said.

"Did your friends find anything else about manta?" Anna asked.

"The only thing they found was that the warehouse was used as a hang out by a local gang. But they seemed to have left for some reason. Me will and a few others are heading into town to see if we can find out who this gang are and why they left. Hopefully they'll lead us to manta" Kyle said.

"Lets keep our fingers crossed" Anna replied.

"I'll be back in the morning to see how yoh's doing. And if we find anything about manta I'll call you"

Kyle threw Anna his model phone.

"Thanks Kyle"

Kyle left the room and Anna turned to a sleeping Yoh.

"Looks like were fighting claw next Yoh. Don't worry I'll get him for what he did to you and Ryu count on it"

Anna held yoh's hand tightly.

"I hate to see you like this" Anna said.

Soon night came and Anna had fell asleep. A figure walked into the hospital and headed for yoh's room. The figure entered the room and was about to grab Yoh when Anna woke up and saw claw about to grab Yoh.

"Claw" Anna yelled.

"Hello cutie" claw said.

Anna tried to press the call button to get help but claw grabbed her.

"Not so fast my sweet"

Claw pushed Anna onto the floor. Anna got up and grabbed a chair tried to hit claw with it. Claw cut the chair in half with his twin blades but part of the chair hit him.

"Now that hurt," claw said.

Claw grabbed Anna.

"But not as much as this will"

Claw punched Anna in the stomach and threw her against a wall.

"And now it's the end of the road my dear"

Claw raised his twin blades ready to finish Anna off.

To be continued.
