As Yoh and ren continued to fight a thunderstorm begin and rain stated to fall from the sky. The sound of yoh's sword and rens Kwan do mixed with crashers of thunder echoed though the air.

"Your gonna pay for what you said about Anna" Yoh yelled

"It's always Anna this Anna that" ren said.

Yoh went for ren. Ren dogged out of the way and knocked Yoh down.

"Come on Yoh I know your better than this" ren said.

Yoh got up.

"I'm just getting started" Yoh replied.

The two carried on fighting as the rain continued to pour down.

"Lets face it Anna makes you weak" ren told Yoh.

"Your wrong" Yoh said.

Yoh went for ren again ren blocked and swung his Kwan do at Yoh. The boy's weapons clashed sending sparks flying all over. The two continued to trade blows and they seemed pretty even.

"Looks like this could go either way" ren said.

Yoh and ren's weapons locked together.

"How about we raise the stakes a little" ren added.

"What do you mean?" Yoh asked.

Ren turned to spike.

"Hey spike I've got a deal for you" ren said.

"I'm listening" spike replied.

"If I beat Yoh he has to return to our team" ren told spike.

"And what if you lose" spike asked.

"I'll join you" ren replied.

Spike thought about it.

"Ok but if you lose horo has to join me as well" spike said.

"All right but if I win you'll let Ryu go as well" ren said.

"We have a deal" spike added.

Ren turned back to Yoh.

"Lets get back down to it shall we" ren told him.

Ren and Yoh got ready to fight again.

"I still expect you to give me your best" ren said.

"Don't worry I will. Just because your fighting for Ryu doesn't excuse what you said about Anna" Yoh replied.

"Can't you see she's your weakness" ren continued.

"She isn't my weakness ren" Yoh snapped.

"Oh yes she is all spike had to do was threaten Anna and he had control of you" ren added.

"Stop talking" Yoh yelled.

Yoh ran at ren and the two carried on fighting. Suddenly a bolt of lighting struck a tree, which made it come crashing down between ren and Yoh.

"That was to close" horo said.

Ren jumped over what was left of the tree and attacked Yoh. Ren knocked yoh's sword out of his hand and swung his Kwan do at Yoh. Yoh grabbed it.

"Nice try ren" Yoh said.

Yoh kicked ren in the stomach ren fell to the ground. Yoh walked up to him.

"It's time to end this" Yoh added.

"Go ahead finish me off. It'll just prove we don't mean anything to you" ren told him.

Yoh stopped dead.

"What" Yoh said?

Ren stood up

"You chose Anna over us when will you realise she's nothing but a waste of space" ren added.

"That's enough" Yoh demanded.

"Oh that's right you always think of you whore first" ren said.

Yoh exploded with anger and begin to fight with his rage fuelling his attacks but with every blow he was getting weaker in the end ren grabbed his Kwan do and used it to knock Yoh out.

"I win" ren said.

Ren turned to spike.

"Very well done maybe I should have chosen you to join me" spike said.

"Maybe you should. I trust you'll keep to our deal" ren asked.

"Of cause" spike said.

Spike went over to Ryu and cut his ropes. Ryu headed over to horo ren and Yoh.

"You sure were hard on Yoh" Ryu said.

"He'll understand" ren replied.

"Lets get out of here shall we" horo added.

Horo and ren picked Yoh up and left with Ryu.

"Your letting them go"

Spike turned to see dash.

"Yes a deals a deal. But don't worry I still have a few tricks up my sleeve" spike told him.

"What do you have in mind" dash asked.

"You'll find out soon enough" spike added.

Ren horo and Ryu soon arrived at the hotel with Yoh who was still out. The 3 took Yoh to his room.

"What happened to him?" Anna asked.

Horo and ren placed Yoh on his bed. Ren turned to Anna.

"Me and Yoh got into a fight. I made a deal with spike if I could beat Yoh he agreed to let Yoh and Ryu go" ren explained.

"So how did you get him to fight you?" Anna asked.

Ren lowered his head.

"I started saying things about you" he said.

"You what" Anna said.

"I didn't mean anything I said but it was the only way to get him to fight me" ren continued.

"I can't believe you would do that to him" Anna said.

"I know. When he comes round tell him I'm really sorry for everything I said. But I had no choice" ren added.

Ren turned to leave.

"Where are you going" horo asked.

"Outside I need to be alone" ren said.

Ren left the room.

"Poor guy" manta said.

"Lets hope Yoh will forgive him" Ryu added.

"I hope ren forgives himself" horo said.

Yoh then began to come round.

"Were all here Yoh your safe" Anna told him.

"Anna" Yoh said.

Yoh hugged her.

"I thought I'd never see you again," Yoh added.

Yoh then looked around the room.

"Where's ren" Yoh asked.

"He wanted to be alone" horo replied.

"I'm not surprised after what he did" Yoh snapped.

"Don't you realise he didn't mean anything he said it was just part of his plan to get you free" horo explained.

"He did" Yoh added.

Horo nodded.

"He's really sorry for what he did but you have to understand he did it for you" horo continued.

"I do understand but he should have found another way" Yoh said.

Ren sat outside thinking about what he had said about Anna. A single tear ran down his face.

"I'm so sorry Yoh," he said.

Soon night fell and ren still hadn't returned.

"I'm worried" horo said.

"Relax my blue haired friend I'm sure ren's all right" Ryu replied

Suddenly the lights went out.

"Looks like were the ones in trouble" manta added.

"Someone didn't pay their electric bill"

Everyone turned to see spike.

"So your back already" Yoh snapped.

"Yes it's time to get back to basics. No deals no tricks just a straight fight. Boys" spike said.

Some men appeared behind spike.

"Go get em"

The men charged at Yoh and the others.

Meanwhile ren was heading back to the hotel and saw all the lights were off.

"That's odd" ren said.

Ren then saw the window to yoh's room and could see the fight.

"Spike" ren said to himself.

Ren ran to yoh's room. In the room Yoh and the others were still fighting but spikes men were too much. Soon manta horo and Ryu were down leaving only Yoh and Anna.

"Take them boys" spike ordered.

"Hold it spike"

Everyone turned to see ren standing in the doorway. Two men ran at ren but he took them down with his Kwan do. Yoh started to fight again and Yoh and ren went back to back.

"Hey man sorry for what I said about Anna" ren said.

"Save it till latter. Lets take these guys out" Yoh replied.

Yoh and ren fought together and soon took spikes men down.

"Looks like you lose spike" Yoh said.

"That's what you think" spike replied.

Spike ran at Yoh and tried to kick him around the head but Anna pushed Yoh out of the way and spike kicked her sending Anna across the room and crashing threw a window.

"Anna" Yoh yelled.

Yoh ran to the window and found Anna hanging on to a ledge.

"Give me your hand" Yoh shouted.

Anna reached out with one hand.

"Please Yoh don't let me fall" Anna pleaded.

Anna and yoh's fingers touched but the ledge gave way and Anna fell to the ground below.

"ANNA NO" Yoh screamed.

To be continued.

What has spike done? Will Anna be ok find out in the next island of heroes.
