"Right, so, first of all," HoroHoro started. "Where the hell is Anna?"
"I don't know…" Yoh mumbled.
"Well, how are we going to save her?" Manta asked.
"I don't know…"
"How…What are we going to do?" Tamao asked, looking worried.
"I don't know…"
"Are you going to be this pathetic until we decide on something?" Ren said, annoyed.
"I don't know…"
"Kisama…" Ren said angrily, grabbing his weapon.
"Now now Ren, calm down," Manta sweat dropped.
Hao sighed, feeling frustrated. If Yoh keeps this up it'll be hopeless to save Anna and get rid of that demon.
"Will you all shut up before I switch sides," He said, voice full of annoyance. Everyone went quiet and starred at him.
He sighed again and explained what had happened since Yoh was being depressed in a corner of the room. Everyone listened quietly.
"He must have been strong if you couldn't do anything Hao," HoroHoro commented.
Hao shrugged. "It wasn't that. I don't know what powers he has so if I tried something, I wouldn't know if it would have affected Anna or not, considering she created him."
"You seem to be calm about this," Ren said noted.
"Because I'm not worried. Unlike my stupid little brother here, I have an idea of what we're up against. Why else do you think I was leaving so much?" that caught Yoh attention.
"Wait? You knew this would happen?" He said in disbelief.
"I had a feeling, so I prepared." Hao smiled. Yoh sighed.
"Well?" he said. Hao closed his eyes and sighed.
"There are six people working for Kira including that Melin girl. All of which have stupid reason to hate Anna but in theory those twins we met have a valid reason to. Mostly they hate her because she's stronger and better then them."
"Why do those two hate her?" Lyserg asked, confused.
Hao opened one eye to look at him before closing it again. "Because about seven years ago she killed their parents."
"WHAT!" everyone yelled after a second of silence.
"Anna-Anna-San wouldn't do a thing!" Manta said.
"Yeah, sure she threatens to kill us but she wouldn't actually do it!" HoroHoro exclaimed. "Tell him Yoh."
"…"
"Yoh?" Everyone turned to look at him. He was looking down, he bangs covering his eyes.
"Seven years ago? You mean when she first had Reishi?" he said quietly. Hao nodded.
"From what I've found out, a Oni appeared when she went into town. Then, when it went out of control, it ended up killing two people."
"So what did she do?" Ren asked.
"She did what she always did. Went about her day like nothing happened."
No one knew what to say. Not even Yoh, for Anna had never told him.
"We need a plan." Hao said quietly. Yoh looked up and saw him looking at him with a serious expression. "We can't afford to have you depressed over this. Either help out, or get lost because I can bet you that when we save Anna, she will beat you for acting like an idiot."
Yoh starred at his brother before chuckling to himself and smiling. "Yeah. Your right Nii-Chan, " He said.
"Of course I am. Now listen up because I don't like to repeat myself."
She was in a dark room, lit only by the candles along the walls. She was bound to the wall, The black 1080 beads around her, emitting the same dark energy that held her there. She could feel her strength leaving her as time past. She didn't know how long she'd been there, nor did she care. She just wanted to leave.
"Hmm, pathetic. Is she really the one who created all those Oni's?" A girl with pure white hair asked, looking sceptical.
"Who knows," Another shrugged, shaking her head making her long black hair sway around her.
"Well, let's go before Kira-Sama shows up. We're bit supposed to be in here," A tall boy with brown hair said.
"You all don't but we do," a girl with brown hair sneered.
"Shut up Sis, we're not supposed to kill her. Yet anyway," Her brother shook his head, pushing his sister out of the room. The others followed, shaking their heads at the two.
When they left, he appeared.
"It's your own fault they hate you," he smirked, walking up to the girl.
"I don't care what people think of me," she said, refusing to look at him.
" 'Do they hate me? Am I really as cold as they say?" She stiffened as she heard these words. Words that she long forgotten."Why did the abandon me? Am I really a freak? Why would anyone love me?' " he smirked.
"Shut up!" Anna yelled. Kira laughed.
"Do you remember killing Luke and Sakura's parents?" Kira mocked. "And how you brushed it off?"
Anna looked away. Yes. She remembered it clearly…
~Flashback~
She was on an errand for Kino even though she didn't want to. She hated going out of the house, even if it was for a few minutes.
When she got into town immediately all the thoughts of those around her entered her mind. All about petty things like what outfit to buy or getting something out of spite. People wondering in they have enough money or people just walking around, being depressed.
After she got what she need, as she left the store, it appeared.
The Oni.
She tried to ignore it as it destroyed everything it could. She could until she saw it running towards a group of people. A family. Her eyes widened.
"Run! Get away from there!" she yelled, dropping the bag. They looked over at her, confused.
"Why's that freak yelling at us?" a little girl asked.
'They can't see it,' Anna thought in dismay, but she couldn't help the feeling of hate that came over her at being called a 'freak'.
As if the Oni registered her feelings, it attacked them.
Anna closed her eyes so she wouldn't see. But she could still hear the screams.
Looking down, not looking at the scene before her, she picked up the bag and walked right past the two bodies on the ground and the weeping children.
The white snow was painted red.
"I don't…I didn't want anyone to get killed." she whispered.
"But they did." Kira walked over to the doors. "Face it. You're a person full of hate and bitterness, because of all the things you've done and the people around you." with that, he left. Leaving Anna alone with dark memories of the past.
In the next chapter we see some of Anna's memories from before she met Yoh, when she lived with her parents, when Kino found her, you know, cheerful stuff *Sarcasm people*
