"Where is she?" Yoh looked all over the house but couldn't find Anna.

"Yoh-Dono!" Yoh looked behind him to see Amidamaru in Spirit Form flying towards him.

"Well?" Yoh asked growing anxious.

"I saw her running up a mountain that had a shrine." He said, sounding confused.

"A shrine up on a mountain…" Yoh muttered under his breath, thinking. His eyes widened as he realised what that meant. "Oh no!"

Anna fell to the ground, clutching her 1080 to her. She was cover in cuts and bruises were already showing along her arms and legs. Every part of her was sore but still she stood, trying to catch her breath.

The first Naka-Oni swung it's arm at her, only to be deflected by the Barrier she put around her made of her Furyoku.

The second and third tried the same but growled with pain as it burned them.

'How the hell can I get rid of them if I can't find an opening?'she thought in frustration.

'You could just use that incantation I told you,'the voice said.

'No! last time it almost killed me and that girl! I will rely on my own strength, not someone else's'

'but it is your strength since you did create me,'

'Shut up!'

'Come to think of it, isn't this the place that Matamune disappeared from?'

Anna froze.

'Wasn't it yourfault that he had to sacrifice himself to save you?'

'Shut up! He decided it himself, it was his decision!' Anna thought. But she couldn't stopped the guilt and sadness that washed over her.

'But he wouldn't of had to make that decision if you hadn't been so weak and sensitive to others thoughts!'

'I said, SHUT UP!' Anna's eyes widened as her barrier broke and all three Naka-Oni claws head straight for her.

She closed her eyes, waiting to be hit.

But it never came.

She opened her eyes and felt a jolt of shock at what she saw.

Over Soul Spirit of Earth.

"Anna, are you ok?" Yoh yelled holding up his arms. The Spirit of Earth copied his movements, holding it's arms to block the Naka-Oni's. he saw her nod. "Good, I'll keep these three busy while you banish them."

"Alright," Anna nodded. She steadied herself and held out both her blue Pray Beads and her 1080 Beads. She needed all the power she could get to get rid of three of them.

"The first is for my mother. The second is for my father-"

'They abandoned you…'

"The third is for my brothers back home. I am god, flawlessly born leader of men, saviour of worlds-"

"You're a freak! A horrible child for saying such things!" Hinamori Anastasia's voice rang in Anna's ears.

"I am the law, flawlessly kept-"

Soon, all the negative thoughts Anna heard filled her head, burning every inch of her. She gave a cry of pain, collapsing on the ground.

"Anna!" Yoh's momentary distraction gave one of the Naka-Oni's an opening. It struck it's claw, easily swiping him to the side.

"Ah!" Yoh yelled in pain as he crashed into a nearby tree. He felt his left arm brake.

"Yoh…" Anna weakly stood up. She felt an anger she never felt before filled, giving her energy she didn't know she had. She tried again to say the incantation. Her voice was stronger.

"The first is for my mother. The second is for my father. The third is for my brother's back home. I am god, flawlessly born leader of men, saviour of worlds! I am the law, flawlessly kept, powerful script, harshly enforced! I am a soul, flawlessly saved, nowhere to go, OUT OF MY PLACE!" Her Furyoku blasted all around her, becoming visible. "Disappear from this land to the pit of Hell where you all belong!" Spirit Flames formed around all three Oni's and they disappeared.

Yoh POV

I ran to Anna, ignoring the pain I felt, as she collapsed a second time. When I got to her she was breathing heavily like she couldn't get enough air, her face pale and covered in sweat.

"Anna…" she can't be dieing. Not here, not now! Why did this have to happen!

"Yoh…" her eyes flickered opened and I could see the pain she was in. "It burns…I feel like…I'm on…fire…" she closed her eyes again.

"Anna," I whispered. I felt so helpless.

"Bring her back to the house. I'll try to heal her there." I looked behind me to see Hao standing there, looking emotionlessly. I nodded.

"Can you grab the 1080?" I asked picking up Anna. She said she was burning but she felt so cold. As if she were…

"I can't." I looked at my brother in confusion. He pointed to were they lay. I looked and felt a jolt of fear and shock.

The 1080, that were normally pure white, were now pitch black and releasing a dark Aura.

I waited outside her room, waiting. Hao and Obaa-San were in there with her, trying their best to help. It made me worried. If Hao, who was the Shaman King, couldn't do then…

"You care about her very much, don't you Yoh." Yoh looked up from where he was sitting to see her Grandfather.

"I love her," I said. "I don't want anything to happen to her."

"And yet you didn't say anything about her Reishi returning," The door slid open, startling me and Grandpa. Grandma was facing me, though she couldn't see me. Her voice was full of disapproval.

"Well…Anna didn't…she didn't really want anyone to know…" I mumbled.

Grandma nodded. "She's a stubborn one alright. That's why I know she will live. She's stronger then she was back then," She said, walking down the hall. Grandpa followed her.

Yoh went into Anna's room, where she laid down a on bed instead of a Futon. Hao was sitting in a chair next to her, looking tired.

"How is she Nii-Chan?" Yoh asked quietly.

"Her temperature is normal," he answered, just as quiet. "And I've healed most of her cuts. She'll live." he glanced at his little brother. "How's your arm?"

Yoh looked down and moved the fingers of his left arm. "It feels better, thanks to you." Just before he went to help Kino, he healed Yoh's arm. It was a painful 30 minutes.

Hao shook his head and stood, a smirk on his face. "By the way, congrats Otouto."

"Huh?" Yoh looked at his brother, confused. But he just shook his head and walked out, a smirk on his face.

Yoh looked back at Anna and saw that she was awake, glaring after Hao.

"I hate him," she said. Yoh smiled.

"Well, even though you hate him he does care about you," He said, sitting in the chair beside her.

"I still hate him." she muttered under her breath.

"I know," Yoh reatched forward and brushed some hair out of her face. She closed her eyes and sighed.

"What happened?" Yoh asked, worry shown clearly in his eyes.

"I…couldn't stop thinking about…all the thoughts I've heard in the past," Anna said, her eyes still closed. "And about my…that woman, and what she and him said to me when I was little…"

Yoh frowned. "Why was she here? The real reason?"

Anna sighed again before she sat up. She flinched at the pain she felt through her body. Hao and Kino may have healed her, but she still felt sore. Yoh saw this and gently helped her.

"She wanted to use me in her Divorce. To show that she cared about me more then him," She said. "So that she could get more money. She's a good actress, but she couldn't fool me, even before I heard her thoughts."

She felt like a fool, for a second she almost believed Kino when she told Anna that her mother didn't mean to abandon her. That is, until she heard her mothers thoughts outside the door. He was right. She was still weak and sensitive, despite what Kino thought. That's why she could cast the Spell the first time. Why Yoh got hurt, why Matamune-

Yoh reatched and grabbed her hand, pulling her away from her dark thoughts. She looked at him and saw his gentle smile.

"You really should stop being so hard on yourself Anna," He said. He could tell from her expression that she was thinking about something that bothered her. He always could.

"I guess so," a hint of a smile was on her face. It seemed sad and happy somehow. "There's something I have to tell you Yoh, and I'd rather you hear it from me then your spoiled brat of a brother."

He sat outside, looking up at the stars. He rested his left arm on his leg, a frown on his face, deep in thought. Something was bothering him. He had a feeling that he knew what was wrong with the 1080 Beads, but he didn't want to wait too long for his theory to test out. He would need his brothers help and, as much as he didn't like it, especially in her condition, he needed Anna's help.

He was so deep in thought that he didn't notice the person behind him until she placed the blanket around his shoulders.

"Your going to catch a cold if you stay out for too long," Keiko said to her son.

Hao smirked. "Please. I'm the Shaman King, I won't get sick just because I'm outside at night." he said.

Keiko smiled as she sat down beside him. "I know, but you still shouldn't be out so late. Shaman King or not you need rest." her voice was so mothering that it bothered him. Not in an annoyance way, more like an…uncomfortable way.

Silence came between the two, both lost in their thoughts. Hao's about what has been happening and what to do, Keiko's about Hao.

She knew that her parents disapproved about her feelings for him. After everything she was taught as a child and before she gave birth to him, she couldn't forget the fact that he was still her son, just as was Yoh. Even though she and Mikihisa said that Yohmei could kill him when he was born, after he escaped, she regretted it. As she watched Yoh grow up, she regretted it, because he always seemed so lonely and sometimes he said he wished he had a brother to play with, not knowing that he did have one, a twin brother.

Almost as if he read her thoughts Hao said, "I don't understand why your bothering to be near me."

Keiko looked at him, but he was looking the other way, avoiding her gaze.

"Why wouldn't I want to be near you?" She asked. He laughed bitterly.

"Maybe because I've almost killed your son more then once?" he said, still not looking at her.

Keiko sighed. "I know. But you are also my son, and I know that you've changed. I also know that you somewhat regret the things you've done." she said. Hao finally looked at her.

"I don't regret killing the Humans that killed my mother." He said, his voice flat. Keiko gave him a sad smile.

"That is why I sad somewhat." she stood. "Get some rest please, Hao. Good night."

Very quietly, so quietly that she thought she imagined it, she heard him say, "Good night and…thank you."

Yes, this is in three parts. Wasn't that a sweet moment between Hao and Keiko? I decided to add it last minute so it was probably not that good.

Thanks for all the reviews, there all great.
