Anna POV:

He's gone. I never thought that two words could bring me so much pain. Not me, anyone else but not me. I'm strong I don't let words affect me. So why is it suddenly so hard to breath, why is my vision blurred and why am I shaking. My eyes are stinging but I refuse to cry, I can't cry I just won't allow it. I feel a hand on my shoulder and glance behind me to see Yoh looking at me, empathy in his eyes. He moves slightly closer.

'Anna? It's going to be ok.' He starts almost nervously. I can feel tears at the back of my eyes. I won't let them fall though I refuse.

'I know it hurts but I'm going to fix this. I promise we will fix this. We'll get him back.' He soothes. It's too much now. Tears are falling freely down my face. No this isn't right. I'm stronger than this I shouldn't be crying. My body starts to shake with the concealed sobs my throat burns and all I want to do is scream. I'm suddenly angry. How dare he make me feel like this! I promised myself I would never let anyone make me feel this way, like I'm helpless. It's not fair that his absence distresses me so much.

'It's not fair! Why does he make me feel this way why!' I scream my inner thoughts so viciously that my voice sounds strained and broken. I want to scream run away anything to make this pain go away. I spin round straight into the arms of Yoh who grasps me and whispers to let it out and how it's going to be ok. I break down years of my strong facade fading away in seconds. No it won't ever be ok because He will always have this hold on me. It will never be ok until he his back with me.

Yoh POV:

I hold Anna let her punch my arm weakly and listen to her cries of despair. Typical Anna she's mad because she's so upset. For once I don't know how to handle her; I can manage the normal Anna. The Anna everyone respects and at the same time sort of fears. She's always been so strong; it's surreal seeing her break down. I try to imagine what she would always say when I was down… oh yeah back to training for some reason I don't think she would appreciate that now. I decide to tell her the only thing that I'm finding comfort in right now.

'We will get him back Anna I promise.' I keep whispering it hoping to convince Anna and my self that we will. Ren is my best friend and Hao has succeeded in taking him away from me after I had promised him no one would miss use him ever again. One thing is for sure, we will get Ren back and Hao will pay for this. Brother or not he will pay.

Ren POV:

He broke his promise. It's sad to be thinking this now it's not really his fault that I'm here. I suppose I am looking for anything to take my mind off of how easily I allowed myself to be captured. Where is this pain that keeps invading my head coming from? Where are the malicious voices hissing from? I think I may be going mad. Great another weakness. Why me? Why did he have to take me away just when I was starting to be… this is nonsense I need to stop thinking it's making me weak. I let my eyes wander around the darkened room. It's pleasant enough, dark but surprisingly warm I don't know what I was expecting, bur this isn't it.

'Well looks like my guest has finally awoken.' A smug voice calls from the darkness. I look across to see Hao sitting crossed legged on the bed smirking at me. I glare back and try to cross my arms only to find they are bound behind my back.

'Guest implies that I am here willingly, you and I know that is not the case Hao.' I reply as evenly as possible I struggle a little with my bound hands to prove the point. Hao grins his teeth almost to white in the gloominess of the room.

'Now Ren we both know what would happen if you weren't tied up now don't we?' He stands and moves fluidly over towards me. He crouches in front of me and reaches up to caress my cheek with his thumb. I won't stand this, how dare he act as if I am his property to do as he wishes. I shake my head violently and begin to struggle with all my strength against my ropes. Hao's hand grabs my neck and he squeezes knocking the wind from me.

'Now now no need for that.' He coos caressing my cheek again. I try to shuffle away, Hao chuckles and let's go of my neck.

'You really are a never ending source of entertainment.' He utters the warm Asakura smile still upon his face.

'Get off me Hao.' I hiss my voice sounding strange and dangerous even to me. He looks shocked for a moment, only for a moment and then the smile returns.

'What are you not enjoying yourself Ren?' He asks gently. He is really testing my patience now.

'Of course not. Funnily enough I do not enjoy being treated like someone's possession.' I spit hoping he will simply back off. He begins to laugh that horrendous laugh again what must I do to make him shut up? I continue to glare at him while he laughs that obnoxious laugh.

'But Ren you are my possession.' He says before leaning down to savage me lips. I struggle for all I'm worth. This can't be happening not again. My cries are muffled by his lips as I try to worm away from him. How dare he force himself upon me has he no morals? The coward restraining me like this! He moves his mouth from my mine and begins to kiss my neck. If he thinks I'm going to put up with this he has another thing coming.

'Hao get off! Stop! Stop! No get off! I won't stand for this! You can't do this I won't allow it!' I was yelling with as much volume as I could manage. Hao's eyes flicked up to meet mine.

'It doesn't matter what you want Ren because now you are mine.'

Weew It's me I am alive! I know I haven't updated in yonks and yonks and should be shot for it… Anyway I really am trying to get back into the swing of writing this story. So I hope this chapter was worth the wait. Read and Review. Thanks.
