A small girl with long black hair and hazel eyes was standing in front Anna with sad eyes. Anna looked like she was in pain and was slowly growing weaker. And in her condition, who knows what will happen.

'This is wrong…' the girl thought. 'Why are we doing this? Why am I doing this? It's wrong I don't…' slowly, she reached forward towards the Black 1080. 'I have to free her or she'll-'

"She'll what, Kiyoko?"

Kiyoko froze, her eyes wide. Slowly she turned around only to get struck in the face. She fell to the ground, trying to ignore the pain from the impact.

"What do you think you were doing Kiyoko?" Kira asked, starring coldly at the girl before him.

"Anna-Sama…will die…I can't…I can't let that happen," Kiyoko whispered.

"You will or you know what will happen." he leaned forward, getting close to her face. She closed her eyes, afraid. "Don't tell me you want Kashi to die?" Kira whispered in her ear. Her eyes flashed open wide.

'No!' she couldn't let that happen.

"Then go and fight them," Kira said coldly. The small girl nodded. She sent Anna a sad look before biting her lip and running out of the room. 'I'm sorry Anna-Sama,' she thought desperately as she ran. 'But I can't lose Kashi, not after coming so close to getting him back!'

Yoh ran up the stairs, going as fast as he could. He felt as though he was wasting time, he needed to save them or-

"Yoh! Watch out!" Lyserg's voice yelled as the got on to the second floor. Yoh turned to see a bright red light heading towards him just before Hao tackled him out of the way.

"Pay more attention idiot," Hao hissed, getting up.

"Go-Gomen," Yoh said, standing. He looked and saw the small black haired, hazel eyed girl. Unlike the others, she didn't wear black. She had a long sleeved purple shirt and blue jeans. On her right wrist was a bracelet that looked hand made. There was a charm on it.

"Please stand aside, we don't want to hurt you," Yoh said gently. She shook her head.

"I can't." she bent her right arm in front of her and another flash of red light headed towards them. They jumped out of the way.

"Hmm, it seems her power is similar to what Turbines was," Hao commented, landing neatly on his feet.

"Yeah," That worried Yoh. Her attacks were stronger then Turbines were but he couldn't help but notice something. Her attacks, though they were strong, something seemed off about them.

"Yoh, I'll fight her," Lyserg stepped forward. "When Chocolove catches up I'll tell him which direction you guys went."

"Your sure? She seems strong," Hao said. Of course, Lyserg ignored him. No matter what, even if Hao has changed he couldn't really forgive him.

Yoh nodded. "Alright, hurry up though."

Yoh started down the hall with Hao but the next beam stopped him.

"I can't let you pass." She said. There was a pleading look in her eyes.

Lyserg held up his crystal pendulum, about to attack when Yoh stepped in front off him.

"Yoh! What are you-"

"You don't want to fight, do you?" Yoh asked her. She looked at him with wide eyes but didn't answer.

"Yoh, what are you talking about?" Lyserg questioned. He didn't understand what was going on.

"You can tell from her attacks," Hao sighed. Yoh and his damn habit was kicking in. "She's being forced to fight, even when she doesn't want to." he glanced at the girl. "I'm guessing your Kiyoko, am I right?" she nodded.

Hao sighed again. "Let's go Yoh, Lyserg can handle her."

"But Nii-Chan-" Yoh started but stopped when he saw how serious Hao looked.

"She's strong but the way she is now she won't be able to fight. If she really is who I'm thinking of she can help us, but right now we need to get to Anna or she will die."

Yoh froze. Quickly, without spearing a glance at Lyserg or his opponent, he ran down the hall, the ends of the red bandana flying behind him. Hao followed without a word.

Lyserg watched them go before turning back to Kiyoko. "You don't want to fight?" she didn't answer. She looked down so her bangs covered her eyes and held out her arm.

Lyserg had to jump out of the way but the attack still got his leg. He clenched his teeth together as his leg felt as though it was being crushed. He needed to find a way to stop these attacks or he won't make it.

Kimiko got weakly up, clutching her side. She was covered in bruises, her face burned from the lightening that had hit her. Her green eyes were full of anger and hate.

"I'll make him pay for what he did to my face…" she muttered.

"I'm sorry, you won't get the chance too," She froze as she heard the familiar voice behind her. She turned her eyes wide. "No! Please! I can do better I promise I-" she stopped as she was stabbed in the stomach, though no blood came she felt as though her whole body was being ripped apart. Her eyes widened even more.

"Wh-Why are you…" She whispered before her world around her disappeared.

"Why am I doing this?" Kiyoko looked down at the green haired boy who kneeled down before her. She was a cut under her left eye and her legs were scratched up. Lyserg looked up at her and saw her crying. "Why…if I win you and Anna-Sama and the others will die…if I lose…Kashi will die…I can't…I can't stand anymore deaths…"

Lyserg felt a wave a sympathy wash over him as the dark haired girl cried. Yoh and Hao were right, she didn't want to fight, she was being forced to. But who was Kashi? Was he the reason why she was fighting?

Somehow he stood, ignoring the pain in his leg. "You don't have to fight Kiyoko," he said to her. She shook her head.

"I need to save Kashi. I need to fight, if I don't he'll die!" She yelled, tears running down her face. "It's my fault he's gone! I have to save him, What kind of person can't save her own little brother!" she sent another attack towards him better it never hit him. The wire of his pendulum weaved together to make a shield in front of him.

"Thank you Morphine," Lyserg said gratefully to his spirit. "If you hadn't moved like that, I would be a goner." he looked back at Kiyoko, who had fallen to her knees looking horrified.

"I'm sorry Kashi…" she whispered. "I'm not strong enough to save you…" 'Or Anna-Sama…'

Lyserg looked at her sadly. She wanted to save her little brother, but she didn't want to fight.

"Lyserg!"

Lyserg turned and saw Chocolove hurrying over to him, though he seemed to be limping a bit on his left leg.

"You won then?" Lyserg asked. Chocolove nodded.

"Yeah, but I did get hit in the leg but it doesn't hurt that bad." he looked over Lyserg, seeing his leg that was all bloody and cuts along his arms and face. "What about you?"

Lyserg glanced at Kiyoko, who was now sitting on the floor. Chocolove followed his gaze and was shocked to see a little girl leaning against the wall, her arms wrapped around her knees. She wasn't crying but she still looked sad. "Her attacks were very strong, they even forced air to heat up and crush whatever was around it."

"But, why is she-"

"She doesn't like to fight. I'm guessing that this Great Demon said he would help her save her little brother if she fought," Lyserg walked over and kneeled down in front of her. "Kiyoko, could you lead us to where Anna is?"

"Come on Lyserg, I don't think she'll help," Chocolove sighed, shrugging. Kiyoko looked at Lyserg, not sure what to do. He didn't kill her even though she deserved it. He was being kind to her though he had no reason to.

Chocolove starred in shock as she nodded. "Yes. And I'll help you free her." she said quietly.

"You know how?" Lyserg asked.

"Yes, because…it's my spell that's binding her right now…"

"That shield is very annoying,"

"I get told that a lot," Tamao panted, trying catch her breath as she held up her O.S Angel. "Are you two ok?" she asked Ren and HoroHoro who had finally caught up. They nodded.

"Good thing you put your shield up in time Tamao," HoroHoro said, standing. He looked over at the girl who was glaring at them.

"Out of the way, we don't have time to deal with brats right now," he said to her.

"What did you call me!" Melin said angrily.

"He said you were a brat now move," Ren said, stepping forward.

"I don't think so," she said. A black light surrounded her. "Get ready to taste my true power." Like a whip, the light headed towards Tamao, right through her shield into her left shoulder. Tamao's eyes widened in shock. Nothing gotten passed her shield before…

"TAMAO!"

Sorry it took so long to update, Gr. 8 grad was this weak for me and I was so busy that I didn't have time to update. Next chapter there's gong to be two battles and I think there's going to be about five chapters until the stories done, maybe six or seven. I'll try to update sooner until then R&R!
