Yoh stared wide eyed at the person, no, Demon who stood in front of him. He could feel a dark energy from him that terrified him.

"Hmm, so she's still alive," Yoh watched as he kneeled on his right knee, observing her. "Well, she does have a lot of Furyoku, so it's not that surprising I guess."

"Get away from her!" Yoh's fear evaporated the moment he saw him go near her.

Kira smirked. "Ah, Yoh-Kun, Shaman King-Sama. It's nice to finally meet you in person." he stood up. "I would calm down if I were you Yoh-Kun. If you get angry, you won't be able to concentrate."

Yoh started to say something but stopped when Hao put his hand on his shoulder. Yoh glanced back at him by the was starring at Kira.

"So your the Demon the Great Spirit was worried about. I was expecting something more impressive then a creature made of hate and loneliness." He said. His eyes flickered over to Anna's unconscious body, worry clearly seen in them.

Kira laughed. "Hate, Loneliness, Vengeance, Confusion, Sadness. All are powerful things when left alone. You should know that, Shaman King-Sama, since your mother was hated and killed for being a Fox in disguise."

Hao's eyes narrowed dangerously. The ground behind Kira exploded and to Yoh's surprise, Zenki and Kouki appeared, looking normal again and charging at him.

However, before they could get near a flash of red light. Zenki and Kouki stopped. In their way was a girl with long dark purple hair and bright blue eyes. She had on a black skirt and sweater.

"Me-Melin?" Yoh said, shocked. "What are you doing here?"

"Yoh, I don't want to hurt you, but if you don't leave right now I'll have no choice," she said looking upset as she held up her O.S Chain Scythe.

'Not without Anna," He said, taking a step forward. Melin's eyes flashed.

"No!" she yelled. "Why her? She doesn't love you no matter what she says!" she threw the Chain Scythe towards them but it was deflect by Hao.

"So small," He said.

"What?" Melin glared.

"Your just like a little kid having a temper tantrum. You can't accept that Yoh and Anna are together so you made a deal with a demon to get what you want." His eyes narrowed again. "This is why I hate humans. Selfish, annoying creatures."

Melin's eyes widened in fear that disappeared when Kira placed his hand on her shoulder.

"Now, Now. Don't scare her." his eyes darkened and had an evil glint in them. "We'll settle this later. And I'll take this girl with me also, I think." he picked up Anna, who gasped and started hyperventilating, her eyes still closed, when he touched her.

"ANNA!" Yoh ran towards them as fast as he could.

"I don't think so." Kira's eyes glowed a scary purple. A dark wave of Darkness hit Yoh at full force, sending him flying backwards.

When it disappeared, Kira and Melin were gone.

And so was Anna.

Yoh laid down on his Futon, starring up at the ceiling. Kira got away. Worse, he took Anna and he didn't know where they went and Melin is helping him.

When him and Hao came back, Yoh came straight to his room while Hao told them briefly what happened. Kino and Yohmei listened with frowns on their faces while his mother made a phone call.

'It's my fault,' Yoh thought. 'If I helped her sooner, if I trained harder…' no. Yoh knew that even if he trained harder it would have made no difference. Hao had trouble against him and he was the Shaman King. So what hope did he have?

There was a knock on the door but he ignored it. He rolled over on his side, covering his head with his pillow.

The door opened but he still ignored whoever it was.

"I can't believe your being this pitiful," Hao said angrily. "Get out of bed so we can get Anna and I can leave."

"Go away Nii-Chan," Yoh mumbled.

Hao's eye twitched in annoyance. It was one thing for Yoh to call him "Nii-Chan" all the time, it was another for him to be ignored so easily. He was the Shaman King damn it!

"Fine then," He muttered. He snapped his fingers and Yoh jumped out of bed as a ball made out of fire hit him.

"OW!OW!OW!OW!" Yoh shouted. "Nii-Chan, I thought you couldn't use fire anymore!"

"You forget that I learned Onmyōdō in my first life Yoh," He said, annoyance clear in his voice. "I can control the elements anytime I want. Now stop being so pathetic and get down stairs. Your annoying friends are here."

Yoh blinked. "Huh?"

Yoh starred at his friends, Ren, Manta, HoroHoro, Tamao, Lyserg, and, much to his surprise, Chocolove.

"Mi-Minna, what-What are you doing here?" Yoh said, shocked.

"Wareware wa tedasuke o shi tai," HoroHoro said. (We want to help)

"Where, Where she high?" Chocolove said randomly.

Stab!

"OW!"

"And we need to make sure you don't do this on your own, like you always do," Ren said, putting down his Kwan Dao.

"Right!" Chocolove said, recovering. "I got released early for good behavior and I came back to Japan."

"Tamao-San had a vision so she and the others called me," Lyserg said. Tamao nodded.

"And I flew us out here," Manta said.

"Minna…" Yoh said, touched.

"This is nice and all," Hao said. "But we need to make a plan, or you'll all be killed."

I know, short, next is longer. Like my fail attempt at humour? My friend tried to help me, didn't work.

Anyway, R&R
