o0o0o0o0o0 whats going at 7? 0o just read and finds out! Tee hee gawd im tired

Yoh awoke moments later he slowly opened his eyes half way, he saw a ceiling and two blurs. He was back in his room and on his futon, were all the nightmares started. The three blurs were talking and one of them made a gesture at him, indicating that they knew he was awake.

He noticed that his ripped turtle neck was gone and he still couldn't move. His fragile body was still too weak to do anything. When he noticed this, his whole day came back to him in a flash. Anna, Hao, 7 o' clock. He then started to struggle to move or say something but it just wasn't happening, he just felt like he wanted to sleep. He had to warn someone or his friends would be in a serious dilemma. He tried with all his might to get up and tell the blobs. But one of them put their hand on his head and pushed him gently back down on his futon.

"You shouldn't move," said Faust, "You're somehow in a very serious state, you mustn't strain yourself."

"Yoh what did you do to yourself! Its like a fever came out of nowhere and punched you in the face!" wailed Horo.

"What did he just say moron? Yoh shouldn't be moving let alone talking, he should just get rest." Said an agitated Ren.

Yoh was relieved that his friends were next to him he was afraid his last vision would be his brother's face. He was also relieved that they didn't seem mad. There was a silence for a moment until Faust stood and opened the door.

"Ive done all I could here you guys should just let him rest and we'll see what happens…" Light flooded the room, Faust left and it was dark again.

"That sounded reassuring…" said Horo.

Silence again. Yoh let out a deep sigh. He couldn't take this.

"Just so you know none of us are mad at you…" said Ren trying to cheer him up, "Everyone gets mad at one point or another, there's no reason you shouldn't too."

Yoh attempted to smile but that wasn't happening, but Ren noticed and he couldn't help but smile back. Yoh was so thankful that he had great friends. But he was sure Anna didn't feel the same way they did.

"An…..a?" Was all he could say. Those syllables alone made Yoh feel even more tired. He wish he could collapse, but he couldn't before warning the others.

More silence until Horo said "She locked herself up in her room and no ones been able to talk to her…" he stared at the floor

"Not to make matters worse Yoh, but I had to tell them about Hao," Replied Ren. He just had to get that off his chest and since Yoh couldn't talk it seemed to be a good time.

"Which is no big deal!"said Horo looking at Yoh with a smile which was a very weird reaction to the scene. The two stared at him.

"Huh?" said Ren in his agitated voice again.

"Think about it, Yoh was able to put him down for a year. Well some of us have gotten stronger since then so we should be able to put him down for good. I mean the guy stole your soul and you still kicked the crud out of him, he might be even weaker this time. Even if that doesn't happen there's no point in worrying about it because we still don't know and we'll just have to find out later. No point about worrying about stuff you can't control, everything will work out." He finished the last sentence with a grin. "I always wanted to say that."

"That's probably the smartest thing you've ever said," said Ren with his arms folded, eyes closed, and smiling.

"Hey! You trying to pick a fight!" Horo yelled at Ren.

As they squabbled Yoh couldn't help but feel even worse after Horo's speech. He knew what was going to happen and when and were. He knew Hao wasn't weaker because he was running on pure hate and revenge. He could control what was about to happen, and if he didn't tell them it might not work out.

"Yoh? Yo0o0o0o0oh?" sang Horo waving a hand in front of his eyes which were somewhere else. Yoh snapped out of it and saw Ren about to leave out the door and Horo was following him.

"You get rest. We'll check up on you later, so don't worry about a thing."

Yoh frantically struggled, trying to talk or do something to get their attention. He finally noticed a clock which was behind Rens body when he was sitting a few moments ago. It said 5:58. He was running out of time and felt himself getting weaker with all his struggling. He finally got what was left of his strength and made one final attempt.

"Wait!" he yelled.

"Huh?" Ren and Horo turned around and saw Yoh sitting up in bed. Panting and gasping for air, crouched over in pain.

"Yoh! What are you-" Ren began but was then cut off.

"Hao's…...coming" whispered Yoh. With that said Yoh finally collapsed on his futon and just passed out.

Outside his reflection was smiling to himself.

Horo sat on the couch out side Yoh's room, watching TV. Manta and Ryu were cooking. Anna was still in her room. Faust was admiring Elizia and playing with weird chemical stuff in test tubes at the table and Ren was outside training with his Kwan-doe (sp?). Not because of what Yoh said, just because it seemed to be a stress reliever for him, he was the only one that still kept himself in shape without being told.

'Horo should be done with his shift soon' he thought. The last words that Yoh said did freak them out. They started taking watches because they were scared that he meant Hao might attack Yoh while he was defenseless. The fact that Yoh knew that Hao was coming was also creepy.

"Mater Ren," said a familiar voice. It caught Ren by surprise. Bason, Amidamaru, Tokageroh, and Mosuke came floating around the corner.

"Sorry were so late, you give these guys sake and they can entertain themselves for hours," said Amidamaru cheerfully. He noticed Ren's fuming face, "what's wrong?"

"You dolts! Your master is half dead and his pyromaniac brother is back!" screamed Ren.

The spirits were silent and starred wide-eyed at Ren. "Wha-what happen?" asked Tokageroh.

Ren explained everything as he went into the house to change shifts with Horo, the time was 6:57.

"Anything?" asked Ren.

"No he's still passed out"

"Im so sorry," said Amidamaru who had guilt written all over is face, "if I wasn't out I might have been able to ….protect lord Yoh…."

The other spirits looked ashamed too.

"It wasn't your fault," explained Ren, "Hao could of attacked him anytime he wanted too so I don't think it would make a difference if you were out or if Yoh was going to the bathroom or something"

Amidamaru was still not satisfied he floated over to Yoh's door and sat down. The others just watched in silence.

"I guess I'll go outside or something…" said Horo as he started to walk away.

Suddenly there was a scream followed by a loud crash, like something had collapse, from the living room. The time was 7:00. The guys and their spirits ran to the living room to find half of it destroyed and SOF crushing Elizia in one hand and Hao standing in the other.

"I guess you guys didn't get my message from Yoh." He said cruel sarcastic voice.

Flames soon appeared all over Elizia and Faust screamed even more as he attempted to attack SOF. SOF brushed him away like he was a bug and Faust was slammed into a wall. He raised his huge arms with the flaming Elizia in it. He then threw her over the forest behind the house. She looked like a falling star and landed a good 5 miles away.

Faust quickly got to his feet and screamed her name. He ran past Hao and the others, like they weren't even there, and completely disappeared into forest.

"Some help he is!" yelled Horo as he merged Kororo with his snowboard. He was fuming.

Ren did the same with basonand his Kwan-doe and the other spirits had disappeared.

"Were the hell are Manta and Ryu! I doubt that they didn't hear the wall collapse in!" Horo screamed at Ren.

"Oh the midget and the guy with the weird hair? They're… occupied," Hao said with a smile.

Then, abruptly the kitchen door fell down behind Ren and Horo, it was on fire. Ren and Horo looked behind them for a split second and they saw Ryu using Yamata no Orochi to try and put the flames out and Manta using his mana to drive them away, but they never seemed to end. Flames were engulfing the kitchen and they couldn't move.

"Guys!" yelled Horo as he turned completely around.

"You dolt don't let your guard down!" yelled Ren.

Horo turned and faced Hao again but kept his eyes on them.

"You should listen to your spiky haired friend."

Horo was soon face to face with Hao and he was bringing a fiery fist to his stomach. He tried to defend but he was too late.

"Too slow." Said Hao with a smile as his flaming hand connected with Horos stomach and he flew across the room, went through Yoh's door, splattered against the wall and fell on the floor unconscious. He coughed up blood.

"You bastard…" said Ren with a scowl on his face, as he started to back up towards the kitchen and away from Hao. He just smiled.

"Ren! Forget about us we can handle this!" yelled Ryu over the flames

"Go save Yoh and Horo!" yelled Manta.

Ren nodded and started running towards Yoh's room, hoping he could out speed Hao. But as soon as he was 2 inches away from the door frame a wall of fire appeared and stopped Ren in his tracks. He covered his face with his hand so he could try to see through the flames to make sure the others were okay. At first he thought he saw Yoh standing up but it was Hao holding Yoh in a bridal position. Ren started to panic wondering what he should do. Hao just smirked at him. Then without thinking at all Ren did something unexpected, he started running through the flames. He pulled his Kwan-doe in front of him and aimed it at Hao. This took Hao by surprise and he knew he couldn't dodge it. So he had to make Ren stop. He grabbed Yoh by the neck and put him in front of himself as a shield. Ren stopped dead in his tracks with his Kwan-doe just missing Yoh's throat and Hao's fingers. He stood there not knowing what to do. Yoh started to make gasping noises. Ren was literally on fire, and he just wanted to pass out from the pain and lack of air.

"That scared me for a second. Seems you've actually become stronger, too bad you didn't join my group when you had the chance. Too bad I can't kill you with the rest of your pathetic friends, I still need you." Hao snapped his fingers and the flames were gone, he picked Yoh up into bridal position again. Ren still stood there with his weapon up.

"Ren!" yelled Anna, who was watching the whole thing through the flames. She had burns on her arms. She saw Yoh and whispered his name. She tried to walk in the room, hoping to help as she got her beads out. She looked serious.

"How did you escape your chains?" asked Hao.

He had chained her to her bedroom door while she was still in her state of depression, as he left he set the chains on fire and she struggled to get free as she heard the house collapse and people screaming. He loved to watch someone as steady as her struggle.

"Your so stupid." Said Hao

"Run!" Ren screamed at Anna.

But before he knew it his head had slammed into the wall next to him and he had an immense pain coming from the left side of his stomach. Hao had just thrown a hidden knife at him which sent him into the wall and pinned him there. He tried to take it out but the pain was so unbearable. He finally just coughed up more blood and fainted there. Anna was terrified. The most powerful shaman was in front of her and he had knocked out all of her friends in 15 minutes. She just collapsed on her knees and felt tears in her eyes.

"That's a first. Wow she actually has feelings!" Hao laughed.

He started to walk over to Anna who was too scared to move at this point.

"Don't worry…"he said "you'll see him again real soon."

He then walked over to the window and was about to leave, when Yoh woke up.

He still couldn't do anything but all he could do was seeing his friends unconscious everywhere….and Anna.

"Anna…" he said

Anna snapped out of it and stared at Yoh with tears streaming down her face.

"Yoh!" she wailed but it was too late.

Hao had jumped out the window on SOF and disappeared in flames.

O0o0o0o0o lots of actions! Is there not? Whats going to happen? cries why did that have to happen to ren! .
