"Ponchi! Are you ok! That went right through your gut!" Conchi asked.

"Yeah, but Tammy's in worse shape," The two spirits looked over at their Shaman, who was in the arms of the blue hair Ainu.

"Tamao, come on, open your eyes Tamao, come on," HoroHoro muttered, tears starting to form. Though to wound was not big it was deep. Blood poured from the wound, staining her white shirt and covering HoroHoro's hand. "Come on Tammy, answer me," he whispered.

Ren watched him with sad eyes before glaring at Melin. She gave him in innocent look.

"What? I didn't think it would kill her," she said, frowning.

Ren snorted. "Yeah right. And she's not dead, so don't say she is."

"Whatever, either way she will die and you'll be joining her," She said. She sent that same attack toward Ren but a flash of pink light stopped it.

"What!" She looked to where the attack came from and yelled in frustration. "WHY ARE YOU MOVING!"

Tamao was kneeling in on her right knee, her Cupid Over Soul on her right arm. She was panting from the strain it put on her body and would have fallen over if HoroHoro didn't catch her.

"Tamao, don't push your self," HoroHoro said, panicking.

"Is…Is Ponchi ok…" she asked, quietly.

"Yeah, he's just fine Tammy, see?" Conchi said, Ponchi next to her. She smiled.

"I'm glad…" she whispered before her eyes closed.

"Tamao!"

"She's fine, she just fainted from lose of blood." HoroHoro looked up at Ren, who hadn't moved from his spot. He was as still as a statue, his eyes were like two pieces of frozen amber.

"Ohh, scary, looks like China Boy is angry," Melin mocked, laughing. She stopped when a piece of Ice shot right by her head, missing her by inches.

"Shut up." HoroHoro placed Tamao gently on the ground, telling Ponchi and Conchi to protect her. He had a look a murderous anger on his face, his O.S. Kororo-Ikupasuy

activated. "Your going to pay for doing that to Tamao."

Ren nodded, his O.S Bushin Yútsú also taking form.

"This will be fun…" Melin whispered, her bright blue eyes flashing a deadly red.

"Why did you put the spell on Anna?"

"Because Kira-Sama told me too."

"And you listened to him?"

"Yes."

"But why? Do you really hate her that much?" Lyserg asked as he carried the small black haired girl on his back with Chocolove behind him. The reason was that she used a lot of her strength against him, and couldn't walk very well yet. Chocolove said he could carry her but Lyserg said he could do it. Now they were trying to figure out why all this started to happen in the first place.

Kiyoko didn't answer at first. "I don't…" she sighed. "I don't hate Anna-Sama. Why would I? she's strong and brave. She believes in people and doesn't think 'What if'. I admire her for it."

Chocolove looked at her as though she was crazy. "That doesn't make any sense. If you don't hate her why did you do this? And why is everyone else?"

"Because we were taken advantage of." the two older Shamans glanced at each other.

"What?" Lyserg asked, glancing back at her. Her bangs were covering her eyes again.

"He took advantage of our emotions to get stronger. Kimiko is vain. Shin is selfish. Ki-Chan's confusion, Melin's jealousy, and the Twins are hate." she said quietly.

"And what are you?" Chocolove asked.

"I'm sadness." Kiyoko said. "Kira-Sama made our emotions so strong that they went out of control, so we wouldn't think clearly about out actions. Kimiko hates Anna-Sama because of her beauty and strength. Ki-Chan doesn't like her because she has friends, even though she can be mean. Melin hates her because of Yoh-Kun and you know why the twins hate her. Shin is only here to get a good fight. And I…" Lyserg could feel something wet soak through the back of his shirt. Tears. "I just wanted to get Kashi back. Kira-Sama said if I helped make Anna's emotion stronger, he would help me find him. So I put a spell on her, making Loneliness, the most powerful emotion in Reishi, become so over whelming that it set Kira-Sama free. Then the 1080 changed and that same spell is what's killing them."

Lyserg and Chocolove stopped.

"So you know?" Lyserg asked quietly. She nodded. "Then we better hurry."

Tamao's eyes flickered open as consciousness flowed back through her. At first she was confused, wondering where she was. Then she remembered and sat up quickly, making her shoulder sting like crazy. She winced.

"About time you woke up."

Tamao looked behind her and her eyes widened. Laying on the ground, unconscious or worse, were HoroHoro and Ren. Bloody wounds covered their bodies and HoroHoro's right arm was bent at an awkward angle, as though it was broken or dislocated. She hoped it was the second. Standing behind them was Melin, grinning like a little kid who was told Christmas was going to be early.

"For a second there I thought you were dead," She said. Tamao's eyes narrowed and she stood, ignoring the pain in her should.

"Careful Tammy your wound is still pretty bad,"

"Yeah."

Tamao ignored them. "Why are you doing this?" she asked. The grin on Melin's face vanished, being replaced by a cold look.

"I hate Anna. I want her dead. When she's out of the way Yoh will finally notice me and realise that he does love me, way more then that annoying Itako." she said in a flat voice.

"He won't," Melin glared at the pink haired girl.

"Yes he will!"

"No. Yoh-Sama is a kind person and he loves Anna-San with all his heart. He would never fall for someone who helped kill her." Tamao said quietly. "He will save her, and they'll get married and have a child that they both love very much." Tamao blinked to stop the tears in her eyes.

"Shut up!" Melin shouted, the same dark energy that struck Tamao and defeated HoroHoro and Ren started to surround her. "You should hate her too! You were in love with him too! So how can you say all that?"

"I do love Yoh-Sama. I will always love him, but in a different way then you think. He's like the brother I never had." Yes she was over him, but she still couldn't stop the pain of reality, that if Anna wasn't there she would have… "I love someone else. And you hurt him. And I can't forgive you for that." She held up her arm, forming her crossbow Cupid Over Soul.

Melin's eyes narrowed. "The Ainu? No wonder he was trying to protect you." she kicked him in the stomach, making him yelp in pain.

"HoroHoro!" Tamao gasped.

"That's how his arm got broken. And a rib or two." she went to kick him again but Tamao shot an arrow at her, making her jump back. Tamao shot another one, making her jump back again.

"Guess the shield isn't the only annoying thing," Melin muttered.

Tamao didn't say anything. She glanced at HoroHoro and Ren. 'I need to finish this quickly and help them,' she thought looking back at Melin. 'but how? She's stronger me Furyoku wise so how-' her eyes widened as she suddenly realised what to do. She wasn't nervous anymore. She wasn't afraid.

Melin noticed the look in her eyes change and frowned even more. "Whatever you have planned won't work. I'll just end up killing you," she said.

"Your right. It might not work, even if it does there's no guarantee that I'll survive," Tamao said, she cancelled her Over Soul looking serious. "But if it means I can protect people I care about, then I'll do it." She bent and picked up the Ikupasuy that HoroHoro had dropped. Kororo appeared beside her, a determined look on her face.

"What are you-?" Melin started but stopped when she realised what Tamao was going to do.

"Tamao don't!" Ponchi yelledsaid, panicking.

"You Can't handle that much Furyoku you'll end up dead idiot!" Conchi yelled.

"Their right you know," Melin sneered. "Why go so far that bitch that doesn't care about others?"

"Because Anna-San is my friend, and she's taught me to stand up for myself, and to have more confidence." Tamao held up the Ikupasuy. "She's someone I can count on and it's time I returned the favour." 'Please let this work,' she thought desperately. "Kororo, into the Ikupasuy."

Yoh ran up the last pair of stair cases, Hao right behind him. Soon, they came face to face with a door that lead to the last room. The room where Anna was being held.

"Ready?" Hao asked his little brother, who looked pale, especially against the red bandana tied around his neck. Yoh nodded. Taking a deep breath, he put his hand on the door, pushing it open.

It looked as though the walls of smaller room were knocked down to form this big one. The walls were made out of a dark wood. Dark purple and black fabric hung from the wall, candles were lit all around emitting a soft light. There were two couches in the middle of the room, Chairs in random places but no Anna. She wasn't there.

"Where is she?" Yoh said, looking around frantically. Even Hao looked worried.

"She's probably with Kira-Sama, helping him prepare with killing the Humans in the area." The door they just cam through slammed shut. Yoh and Hao exchanged looks before standing back to back, so they could see a surprise attack.

"What do you mean?" Yoh called. "Anna wouldn't do something like that."

"Oh yes she would," A familiar girl with light brown hair and green eyes suddenly appeared in front of him, a Claw like over soul on her right hand. Sakura. "She doesn't hesitate to kill. She didn't even kill when she killed my parents!""Anna didn't kill them, it was the-" Yoh started.

"SHUT UP!" Sakura yelled.

"Calm down sis," Luke appeared in front Hao. He wasn't grinning like he was last time Yoh saw him. He had a grim expression on his face.

"Shut up traitor," Sakura hissed at him.

Luke sighed. "I said she was cute, but that doesn't change the fast I hate her and want her to die," he held up a knife. There was a flash of bright blue light as his spirit merged with it. The Over Soul grew so it resembled a sword, just smaller.

Yoh frowned. He needed to find Anna, he didn't have time to fight them.

"Yoh," Hao whispered quietly. "I'll distract them. Find Anna."

"But I have no clue where she is," Yoh muttered, frustrated.

"I sense something outside. It's dark so it's most likely that Oni. And if these two are right Anna's with him." Yoh glanced back at his brother to see him frowning, looking serious. "Can you handle them?" he asked. Hao smirked and even let out a small chuckle.

"Please," he said, stepping forward. "I'm not the Shaman King for nothing, two brat's won't be able to stop me. Just go and save your Fiancée so we can leave."

Yoh nodded but said, "Don't kill them."

"What are you two muttering?" Sakura held up her Claw Over Soul.

"Nothing," Hao sighed. "Yoh get going."

"Right, but remember don't-"

"Yeah, Yeah," Hao gave him an annoyed look. "Just get lost."

She starred coldly at the lake in front of her. Her hair blew around her face as a cold wind came. Her now black eyes burned with a cold fire, hate and anger clearly shown. Just like six years ago she wore a light purple kimono. And just like six years ago, She couldn't remember anything happy in her life. All she remember was the hate and anger she and others felt towards her. She felt cold. She felt angry. She wanted everyone to leave.

"Are you sure you want to do this Anna?" He asked her,

Her eyes narrowed. "I want them to die. I don't care who it is, just kill them all."

Kira smiled.

"As you wish."
