Spike and Yoh had now arrived at spike's hideout and spike gave Yoh his first mission.
"I have a job for you" spike said.
"What do you want me to do" Yoh asked.
"Kidnap your friend Ryu"spike replied.
"You want me to kidnap Ryu" Yoh repeated.
Spike nodded.
"Mind is I ask why" Yoh added.
"It's simple my friend when you kidnap Ryu you will leave a note telling your other friends horo and ren where to find us. Then I'll have three members of team asakura" spike explained.
"So your team can win by default," Yoh said.
"Oh no you got it wrong you see there will be a member of team asakura left. You." Spike added.
"Me" Yoh replied.
Yoh was now confused. Spike explained.
"You and me will fight each other in the final and it will be a winner takes all match" spike said.
"And obviously you'll win" Yoh said.
"You got it" spike added.
Spike pulled out an envelope.
"Here's the note for your other friends" he said.
Spike handed the note to Yoh. Yoh took it.
"So where can I find Ryu" Yoh asked.
"He's still at the hospital in ward 20 b. but he's going to be discharged today so you'll have to move quickly" spike told him.
Yoh had no choice but to obey spike. Yoh didn't like it but he had given spike his word. Yoh headed to the hospital. After Yoh had left the cloaked figure appeared.
"I see you've sent asakura on his first job" the figure said.
"Yes everything is going as I planed" spike replied.
"This plan of yours better work" the figure told him.
"Relax you will soon have all the fighters from Foxly" spike added.
"Good once they are out of the way they'll be nothing to stop the master," the figure continued.
Yoh soon arrived at the hospital and made his way into ryu's room. Ryu was still fast asleep Yoh placed the envelope spike had given him on the bedside table. Yoh grabbed Ryu and was about to leave when manta entered the room.
"What are you doing Yoh" manta asked.
"No time to explain manta I have to take Ryu somewhere" Yoh said.
"Where are you taking him" manta added.
"I can't tell you" Yoh said.
"Why I don't understand," manta replied.
"I'm sorry manta but I have to go" Yoh continued.
"I'm not letting you go anywhere until you tell me what's going on" manta demanded.
Manta grabbed yoh's arm.
"Then you give me no choice," Yoh said.
Yoh punched manta in the stomach.
"Sorry my friend I wish there was another way," Yoh told his friend.
As manta fell to the ground Yoh made his escape.
"Come back Yoh" manta coughed.
"Oh my god what's happened"
Manta turned to see one of the nurses running into the room.
"It was Yoh he's taken rhy" manta told her.
Yoh soon arrived back at spikes hideout with Ryu.
"Well done Yoh. You have served me well" spike said.
"So what happens next?" Yoh asked.
"Now we wait for your friends to arrive," spike added.
Ren horo and Anna arrived at the hospital after manta called them.
"You ok dude" horo asked.
Manta nodded.
"Yeah but I don't understand what's gotten into Yoh" manta said.
"Let me explain" Anna replied
Anna then told manta what had happened.
"Dam that spike" manta added.
Anna walked over to manta and saw the envelope next to him on a table.
"Hey what's that?" Anna asked.
"I don't know I found it after Yoh had left with Ryu" manta said.
"Yoh must have left it behind" horo added.
Anna picked up the envelope and opened it. She pulled out a note.
"What does it say" ren asked.
Anna read the note out.
Dear horo and ren.
If you wish to see your friend rhy again meet me at the old boathouse on the east end of town. And be sure to be alone if I see anyone else you won't see Ryu ever again.
Hope to see you soon.
Spike.
"What are you going to do" Anna asked.
"We have to do as he says" ren said.
"You sure" horo added.
"Yes this might be our chance to get Yoh back" ren replied.
"I'm with you" horo said.
"I want to go with you too," Anna said.
"You can't Anna if spike see anyone else but us ryu's done for" ren replied.
"I know" Anna said.
Ren put his hand on Anna's shoulder.
"Don't worry we'll get Ryu and Yoh back I promise" ren said.
"Thanks ren" Anna replied.
Ren turned to horo.
"Lets get going" he said.
"Lead the way" horo replied.
Ren and horo left. Manta walked up to Anna.
"Do you think they'll be ok" manta asked.
"Who knows manta only time will tell" Anna answered.
Ren and horo arrived at the old boathouse and it was really quiet.
"I don't like this" ren said.
"Yeah where is he" horo replied.
"Gentlemen welcome"
Horo and ren turned to see spike Yoh and Ryu who was tied to a fence post.
"Yoh Ryu" horo shouted.
Horo headed towards his friends.
"Stay where you are horo I don't want to have to fight you or ren" Yoh said.
Spike laughed.
"Well said Yoh," he said.
"Dam you spike how can you turn someone against there friends" ren yelled.
"Oh but Yoh joined me willingly" spike told them.
"No he didn't you made him join you by threatening Anna" horo added.
"Maybe I did but a deals a deal" spike said.
Ren turned to Yoh.
"How can you take orders from this guy" ren asked.
"I have no choice," Yoh said.
"Oh that's right this is all because of Anna" ren said.
Yoh looked shocked.
"If it wasn't for Anna we wouldn't be in this mess" ren continued.
"Watch what your saying ren" Yoh snapped.
"Or what you'll take me down. Then come on you and me right here right now" ren added.
"What are you playing at ren" horo said.
"Relax I know what I'm doing" ren replied.
Ren started to walk towards Yoh.
"So what's it to be asakura gonna fight me or are you going to run like a coward back to that whore of a girlfriend" ren said.
"That's it ren you can say what you like about me but no one calls Anna a whore" Yoh yelled.
"Then lets get down to it shall we" ren replied.
Yoh and ren charged at each other.
