The biting cold wind blew a hurricane of trash down the street as Yoh fallowed Ren to their next job. They both pulled their thin jackets closer to them for warmth. It's soooo cold! thought Yoh. I'll have to get the kids some warmer clothes. I think there's a cold front coming through.

Suddenly the horribly familiar sound of a gun shot rang through the air. Yoh and Ren both jumped. Yoh started to turn toward the sound when Ren caught his arm.

"Yoh. Stop. You can't save everyone," Ren said softly.

Yoh just looked at him sadly. "Yeah, I know. Sorry." They walked on.

"So, where are we going?" Yoh asked Ren.

"To the power plant. Howard's in big trouble. He was nearly in tears when he came to me yesterday. Says Lord Harasuke threatened to kill him if he doesn't get the power back by seven this morning."

"Oh, so that's why you woke me up so early? Hmmm. Well, we'll just have to get the power back on then." Yoh frowned. He greatly disapproved of killing.

There was only one power plant in the city. But it only provided power to a fourth of the city. And that section of the city was controlled by Lord Harasuke, the only person who could afford electricity.

The rest of Aria, the city that Yoh and his family lived in, was controlled by gangs. Yoh's gang controlled only about two blocks; however, it was the most peaceful part of Aria.

Ren suddenly tensed up; he stopped. Ryu's gang had appeared in the street ahead of them.

"Yoh!" Ryu called. "What are you doing in my territory?!"

"Calm down, Ryu," Yoh said soothingly. "We are not here to fight. We need to get to the power plant as soon as possible and that means cutting through your area. I'm sorry but Howard's in trouble."

Ryu snorted. "You'll have to pay up then or-"

"We aren't paying anything!" Ren cut in. "Yoh and I can whip your asses and you know it. Now let us through!"

"Please, Ren," Yoh said. "I really would rather-"

"Oh, so the great Yoh is scared of fighting a few people? Ha! I've never seen you fight and I don't believe all the stupid stories about you. Let's go, boys! Show 'im who's in charge around here!"

"Wah! Are they crazy?" Ren said as Ryu and his gang started surrounding them. "They can't beat-" Yoh grabbed Ren's arm.

"Stay close to me," he said, walking in the direction of the power plant. Ren nodded. He knew what that command meant. Yoh was going to use his Power.

Five of Ryu's member charged them. Yoh continued to calmly walk; however, just as their opponents were within kicking range, Yoh spun his hand in a small circle, then flipped it palm up and push up slightly. A Barrier quickly flowed out of Yoh, surrounding him and Ren.

Ryu's attacking gang member slammed into it. Yoh winced slightly at the impact but continued walking; his hand still held up. Ren stayed close to Yoh. He had done this before and knew that Yoh could only extent the Barrier so far before is began to seriously wear him out.

Ryu just stared. The rest of his gang looked at their leader nervously.

"Just let them go," he said. "We can't beat him."

Yoh looked behind him, smiled kindly, and said thank you. He then lowered his hand. The Barrier slowly faded.

Finally, they made it to the power plant. It was in the middle of the city at the edge of Ryu's, Lord Harasuke's, and Lucas's territories. Howard, the plant's manager, was waiting out front for them.

He practically leaped at Yoh. "Thank God you're here! My deadline is in thirty minutes!"

Yoh smiled at him. "Where's the problem?"

"Here! I'll show you. It's in the generator room."

Howard let them into a large room full of machinery. Yoh walked up to the largest one. Ren followed and kept watch. While Yoh used his Power for fixing things he was very vulnerable.

Yoh closed his eyes and reached out to touch the generator. He focused his mind through his hand and into the generator. He could feel it. It was old, tired. It could almost speak to him. Don't worry. I'll fix you up, Yoh thought.

He willed the broken parts together. He added his own energy as a catalyst for the chemical reactions that would bind the parts back together. The generator started clanking and banging as it began to operate.

Yoh used more of his energy in the worn areas, braking down the rust and the wear, making everything like new again. The machine started to emit the smooth, humming sound of a well tuned machine.

Yoh opened his eyes and collapsed as a wave of exhaustion hit him. Luckily, Ren had been waiting for that and caught him before he hit the floor. Yoh smiled weakly at Ren as he slowly lowered him to the floor to rest.

Howard dropped to his knees in front of Yoh.

"Oh wow, Yoh. You saved my life. And now not only fixed the problem but now it runs better than when my father owned it. I can't thank you enough. If there is ever anything I can do please tell me! You have my loyalty," Howard said with tears in his eyes.

Yoh just smiled a huge smile full of kindness. The kind that light up the world and make just make you feel good. "You have thanked me plenty already. Just continue to live your life the best way you can."

Howard nodded. Wow, he thought. What a wonderful person. He is truly what everyone calls him. A Healer of anything.
