A/N: I would like to thank everyone who reviewed; it was very nice of all of you. I'm glad you all like this so far. I am having so much fun writing this so far. Well to cap what happened in the last chapter, a strange man appeared before Ren, and told him they he had came for him. He had even called him his linage. What could he mean by that? He disappeared without saying anything else, and Pirika asked what was going on. Will she get her answers? We'll have to see! To the chapter!

Chapter Four: A problem

"You know what," Ren said, as he sat down on a chair. "How come I wasn't informed of what was going on before this all started happening to me?"

"I wasn't sure you would change at all," Anna said calmly, looking away from him.

"Who exactly was that guy who came," Pirika asked.

"As I said before, he is Saix, apart of the race who is already here on earth. He is one of the most dangerous of the group. I'm not sure what he wants with Ren though."

Ren shook his head. "I wish you did know. What else are you not telling us?"

Horohoro deiced to speak now, after not saying anything for a while. "There is this prophesy about a demon that has the power to unlock the heart of the planet but in order to protect the planet from evil, they sealed the demon inside of a boy. The demon gained a human form, but they warned that the demon would reawaken, but who knew what side it would be on."

"So, where is this demon," Pirika asked. She held Ren's hand, and she tightened her grip slightly for a moment, to reassure him. He just shook his head.

"This demon is… well, we don't know for sure. That is why we didn't tell you all right away. But it may have something to do with what is happening to Ren."

"So what you're saying is that I may be the demon?"

"Maybe," Horo said as he stood back up. "But we won't know for sure until something happens."

Ren stood up himself. "How come you know all this?"

"Let's just say, I'm well informed…"

He didn't say anything else but made his way back to the house, and went in through the back door. Pirika shook her head, more at her brother's attitude then anything. She looked at Ren who smiled slightly at her, and she couldn't help but feel her heart spring up in her chest. At least he seemed to handling it alright.

He turned away from her, to look at Anna. "What are we suppose to do. We can't let them find that demon."

"That is very true, but I don't know what we are going to do…"

Ren didn't say anything, but began to walk towards the house, and Pirika followed after him. He stopped though, right before he reached the opening and said;

"If you don't find out something soon, I'll have to go out myself."

He walked the remaining way inside, Pirika following after him, leaving Anna alone in her thoughts. Lyserg though was still there, and he smiled slightly at the median. "We can't let him go out on his own; it will put him in danger Anna."

"I know that," she said, crossing her arms. "But how am I suppose to stop him, you know how he is, Lyserg."

He nodded and looked up at the sky. "He is hard to control, but you're going to have to figure out how to do just that. If you don't, he will end up getting killed."

"And how?"

"I'm not sure yet, give me some time to think."

---

"Ren, are you alright?"

Pirika was sitting on a chair in front of Ren, a look of deep concern on her face. Ren was rubbing his head, his face giving away the great pain he was feeling at the moment. He shook his head, not trying to hide it anymore.

"No, I'm not."

"Is there anything I could do to help?"

"Not really, no."

Pirika reached out and took Ren's clawed hand in hers. "Everything will turn out alright, you'll see."

"I would like to believe that but-"

There was a loud explosion and Ren was caught off mid though. They both ran to the window and saw that the neighborhood was being ripped apart by some kind of glowing blue giant. Someone was riding on top of it, but they couldn't see who it was because they were too far away.

"We better hurry Ren," said Yoh as he ran past, and Ren nodded.

"Pirika, you stay here."

"But-"

"I want you to stay safe."

"But I can fight too…"

"Don't worry," Horohoro said, "your time is coming, and it's just not yet."

She nodded and crossed her arms. "Just stay safe you three." She bent over, and kissed Ren softly on the lips. "And especially you."

As they left the building, Alexandria the spirit pixy floated over. "Those boys..."

"Boys will be boys."

"Aren't that the truth."

---

"Alright, tin hut my water spirit, here they come."

Ren and the others made their way over towards the blue giant, but the hooded person on top seemed to know that they were coming. The giant turned around and growled at the coming people. Ren just smirked though. He was waiting for this.

"Ho ho," said the robed man on top of the giant. "It's the Shaman King. Excuse me if I do not bow."

"Yoh didn't say anything to the man's comments but just attacked, fusing his spirit with his sword and slashing at the giant's arm off. It didn't have much of an effect on the beast, as he just re-grew his arm, but the robed man seemed slightly annoyed.

"I told them they shouldn't have sent me," they heard him mutter from on top of the thing. He jumped off of it, and pointed at Ren. "You, I want you to fight me!"

Ren smirked. "That's what I'm talking about."

He jumped on top of the building, and Yoh and Horo deiced to take care of the giant water spirit. The man shook his hooded head and laughed. "So you're the one Saix wants? I can't believe it."

"I don't care what he wants," Ren said, pointing his kon dow at the man. "Let's just get this fight started."

"Epp!" The man turned around, and seemed to be scratching his head. "I'm not sure about this but alright!"

He turned back around and pulled out from behind his back a violin. He began to play, and water surrounded him as he played. He opened his eyes and smirked, "Prepare your self. Your coming with us rather you like it or not. "

"Heh, you won't be able to capture me."

The man began to play his violin quickly and jets of water busted out of the hard stone and wood top of the building, almost hitting Ren just he wasn't worried. He ran around the jets of water, that came out of unexpected places. One especially large jet almost hit him, but he moved out of the way and slashed at the man.

The man went back, hit by the Chinese shaman's attack and he grunted in pain. Ren shook his head. "That was easy."

The man chuckled. "You think it's over? Not by a long shot."

Arms made out of water busted out of the ground and grabbed Ren, and that way when Ren noticed that the violin was still playing. The man walked over to the edge of the roof and smirked.

"Sorry folks, Ren here has a date with the dark Liex. See ya!"

Yoh ran up there, but before he had a chance to cut Ren free, the man snapped his fingers and they disappeared. Yoh swung his katana down in frustration and then looked at Horo. "We got to go after them?"

"No."

"What?"

Horo looked at Yoh and then away towards the sky, and the dark cloud covered sun. "We can't go after him."

"And why is that?" Yoh sounded annoyed, and he walked towards Horo.

"They will release him in due time."

"And how do you know that."

"I just do."

Yoh jumped down from the roof, while Horo stayed up there for a while. He looked around the area and once Yoh was far enough away, Horo looked at his hand and then shook his head. "Damn you… I told you not to send anyone yet…"

"Well I'm sorry Horo- c'rintri. We had to move ahead with out plans. Besides, you were not there to tell us yet."

Horo turned to see Saix there behind him, his arms hanging limply at his side, a smirk on his face. "So, you decied to go ahead with the plan? You trigger the change?"

"Yes I did."

"I think you acted too prematurely. You could have ruined everything."

"That I could have, but everything is working out. Even you can see that."

"For now, but how long until it spirals out of control? I guess I will have to keep everyone calm here am I?"

"That is what you should do."

Horo rolled his eyes then turned away. "You can go now Saix, I've said al that needed to be said so far."

The man nodded, and disappeared into a black-violet cloud. Horo jumped down from the roof after that, and walked back side."
