Everyone was now asleep and Yoh was having a nightmare.
Yoh's dream
Yoh was surrounded by darkness.
"Help me Yoh" Anna cried.
"Anna where are you" Yoh yelled.
There was no response.
"Anna" Yoh repeated.
Yoh hear spike laugh.
"Where are you spike," Yoh shouted.
Spike then appeared holding Anna.
"Let her go spike" Yoh demanded.
"You gonna have to come and get her" spike said.
Yoh ran towards spike and Anna but both disappeared.
"Anna" Yoh yelled.
"I wouldn't worry about her my pet"
Yoh turned and saw a figure coming out of the darkness and Yoh knew who it was.
"Shadow" Yoh said.
End of yoh's dream.
Yoh woke up in a cold sweat.
"Shadow" Yoh repeated.
Yoh held his head in his hands.
"That's the name of the guy I called master for 2 years" Yoh said to him self.
Yoh decided to get to air and headed outside. As Yoh looked up at the night sky Yoh had another flash back about his past.
Yoh's flashback.
Yoh was fighting another boy as other kids watched. Yoh was winning.
"Give up you can't win"
"We'll see about that" the boy replied.
The boy charged at Yoh and attacked but Yoh blocked the attack and sent the boy flying to the ground.
"Give up" Yoh asked.
"What's going on here?" a voice yelled.
Everyone turned to see shadow. The other kids disappeared.
"Master shadow" Yoh said.
Yoh and the other boy bowed.
"What do you think you boys are doing" shadow asked.
Both boys remained silent and kept their heads bowed.
"I'm waiting for an answer" shadow added.
"We were fighting master," the other boy said.
"You both know fighting outside of the ring is against the rules" shadow told the boys.
"We're sorry master" Yoh said.
Shadow hit Yoh and sent him up against a wall.
"Oh you will be" shadow said.
Shadow turned to leave.
"If I ever catch you two fighting outside the ring again you'll be scrubbing floors for a month" shadow added.
Shadow left. Yoh got up and the other boy could see Yoh was in a lot of pain.
"That's what you get for staring fights," the other boy said.
The boy left. Yoh sat in the corner with tears in his eyes. Shadow had really hurt him.
End of flash back.
Yoh was snapped out of his thoughts by a voice.
"I see I'm not the only one who can't sleep"
Yoh turned to see Mariah walking up.
"I heard about your girl friend for what its worth I'm sorry" Mariah said.
"It's all my fault if I hadn't left Anna behind spike wouldn't have got her" Yoh replied.
"You only did what you thought was best" Mariah told him.
"I know but if she was with me she would have been a lot safer" Yoh added.
"That may be true but spike would have found a way to get her"Mariah explained.
"If spike hurts Anna I'll hunt him down like a fox" Yoh said.
"I know just how you fell its not easy having someone you care about kidnapped" Mariah replied.
Yoh turned to Mariah.
"You love Kyle don't you" Yoh asked.
Mariah nodded.
"Well don't worry Mariah I'll get Kyle back I promise" Yoh said.
"Isn't that nice"
Mariah and Yoh turned to see spike.
"Spike" Yoh snapped.
Yoh ran up to spike and trying to strike him but spike blocked the attack and twisted yoh's arm behind his back.
"Let him go spike" Mariah demanded.
Spike turned to Mariah.
"So Mariah how come your talking to the enemy" spike asked.
"He's not the enemy you are" Mariah replied.
Spike turned to Yoh.
"You hear that asakura looks like you've got a new friend" spike mocked.
"I'm gonna make you pay for kidnapping Anna and Kyle" Yoh said.
"Really and how are you going to do that" spike asked.
"I'll find a way" Yoh replied.
"I don't think so" spike added.
Spike let Yoh go and pushed him onto the ground.
"How are you going to make me pay for kidnapping your friends when you don't stand a chance against me "spike asked.
Yoh turned to spike.
"Where are you holding them spike?" Yoh demanded.
"Anna's at my place but I'm afraid I've handed Kyle over to someone" spike replied.
"Who" Mariah asked.
"You know who" spike replied.
"You gave him to the secret order didn't you" Mariah asked.
Spike nodded.
"You got it in one" he said.
"I can't believe you sold out your own brother" Mariah said.
Spike turned and pointed at Mariah.
"You know what he did Mariah as far as I'm concerned Kyle's no brother of mine" he said.
Spike turned to Yoh.
"Now Yoh if you want to make sure Anna remains safe you will do everything I say," spike explained.
"So that's why you kidnapped her to control me," Yoh replied.
"You catch on quick" spike said.
"I'm guessing you want my team to forfeit the final match of the tournament," Yoh said.
"Oh no you got it wrong I want you to join me" spike told him.
"What" Yoh said?
"You have until tomorrow morning to decide if you agree to join me meet me at the park" spike told him.
Spike turned to leave.
"I'd advise you to except my offer I'd hate anything to happen to Anna" spike added.
Spike disappeared into the night.
