Yoh was now being taken to Jordan's home, which was in a small village next to the castle.

"Soon be there my dear" Jordan told him.

"Will you stop calling me that" yoh replied.

"Your not still thinking about Anna. I told you your not going to get her back now master hao has her," Jordan explained.

"That's what you think" yoh continued.

"Look it's a simple fact she now belongs to master hao and you are now mine," Jordan said.

"I'll never be yours Jordan Anna's my girl and she always will be" yoh added.

Jordan punched yoh in the face.

"Stop taking about her you belong to me now I don't want to ever hear her name again" Jordan snapped.

"I would never be with anyone like you" yoh told her

"Shut up" Jordan replied.

"I trusted you we all welcomed you into our group of friends and all the time you were lying to us" yoh continued.

"I said shut up" Jordan demanded.

"Is that you life Jordan nothing lies" yoh added.

"That's enough" Jordan yelled.

Jordan punched yoh again and kicked him in the stomach. Yoh fell to the ground.

"You know nothing about me asukra," Jordan shouted.

Yoh got back up and turned to Jordan.

"I know you well enough to trick you" yoh said.

Yoh quickly knocked one of the guards to the ground the other guard attacked yoh but the boy kicked him around the head knocking the guard to the ground. The other guard got up and charged at yoh but he was ready for him.

"Shoryn-ken" yoh yelled as he punched the guard.

The rising dragon punch knocked the guard out cold and as he fell to the ground yoh grabbed him threw him into the other guard knocking him out too.

"Two down one to go" yoh said as he turned to Jordan.

Jordan tried to run for it but yoh was too fast and grabbed her.

"Looks like the tables are turned my dear" yoh mocked.

Jordan turned to get free but yoh's grip was too tight.

"Now tell me where hao is holding Anna" yoh demanded.

"If I tell you master hao will have my head" Jordan said.

"And you think I'm just going let you go if you don't tell me" yoh replied.

Jordan though about it and decided she had no choice.

"He's taken her to his private chamber it's on the third floor in the east tower of the castle" Jordan explained.

Yoh then let Jordan go.

"Here's a bit of advice run as far away as you can because if hao finds you you'll be in for it" yoh told her.

Yoh then headed towards the castle.

Meanwhile Anna was tied to a chair in hao's private chamber waiting for him to return. And soon she heard a sound she was dreading the sound of hao's footsteps.

"Hello my sweet" hao greeted as he entered the room.

Anna remained silent.

"Oh don't be like that" hao continued as he walked up to Anna.

Anna still didn't respond and hao smiled to himself.

"So your going to give me the silent treatment are you," hao added.

Hao sat down in a chair next to Anna and began to run his figures though her hair.

"Your hair is so soft" hao told her.

Hao then the back of his hand down her face. Anna wished her hands weren't tied because she really wanted to give hao a good slap.

"Oh and your skin is so smooth" hao continued.

Hao then closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"And you smell so good" he added.

Anna was now starting to get scared of what hao was thinking of doing to her.

"Master hao" a voice called after a knock at the door.

"What is it" hao replied.

"Your needed in the main hall sir" the voice added.

Hao turned to Anna.

"Looks like I've got to leave you my sweet" he said.

Hao gave Anna a kiss on the cheek and left the room.

Hao quickly headed in the main hall to find the sorceress and keyran waiting for him.

"Sorry to ruin your fun" Sorceress said.

"What's happening" hao demanded.

"Someone's breached the castle walls" keyran explained.

"Yoh" hao said to himself.

Hao quickly left the room.

Yoh was now heading into the castles courtyard with 5 castle guards close behind. Yoh tipped over a barrel and knocked 3 of the guards down. The last two jumped over the barrel and came at yoh. Yoh punched one of them and kicked over other barrel knocking him down as the other came at him with a sword. Yoh dogged the swing and managed to grab a sword off the other guard. The guard attacked but yoh soon disarmed him and kicked him in the face knocking him down.

"So much for these guys" yoh said to himself.

Yoh quickly headed across the courtyard towards the east tower. Suddenly a fireball landed near him and exploded and yoh only just managed to get out of the way. Yoh quickly got up and saw pyro standing in front of the door to the east tower.

"So we meet again yoh" pyro greeted.

"I was kinda expecting hao to be waiting for me" yoh replied.

"He is otherwise detained besides I wanted the pleaser of dealing with you my self" pyro added.

A fireball appeared in pyro's hand.

"Lets play a game of catch shall we" pyro said as he threw the fireball at yoh.

Yoh managed to doge the fireball but pyro had all ready run up to yoh punched him in the face. Yoh mange to keep his balance and kicked pyro sending flying to the ground. Pyro got up and turned to yoh.

"Impressive" pyro told him.

Pyro then formed another fireball and threw it at yoh.

Yoh wasn't so lucky this time and the explosion sent him to the ground. Pyro walked up to him.

"You didn't see that one coming did you" pyro mocked.

Pyro picked up yoh and punched him in the stomach and threw him across the courtyard.

"Now to finish you off once and for all" pyro told him

Pyro formed a fireball in each hand.

"So long yoh asukra" he added.

Pyro threw the fireballs at yoh. But this time yoh was ready he quickly grabbed a wooden log and hit both fireballs back at pyro using it. Pyro tried to jump out of the as both fireballs exploded but the blast sent him up against a wall knocking him out.

"That was too close" yoh said as he dusted him self down.

Yoh headed across the courtyard and into the east tower.

Hao was now in his chamber and had untied Anna from the chair.

"Looks like our time here is over" hao told her.

Anna smiled.

"Yoh's here isn't he" Anna asked.

"How did you ever guess" hao answer.

Hao grabbed Anna.

"Now lets get going shall we" hao said.

"If yoh finds us he's gonna kick you arse" Anna continued.

"Well we'll just have to see about that" hao replied.

"Yes we will" Anna added.

Anna stamped on hao's foot and slapped him round the face.

"That's for touching me," Anna snapped.

Anna quickly ran out of hao's chamber.

"You'll pay for that Anna" hao yelled as he ran after her.

Anna ran down the corridor as fast as she could but hao was still close behind her.

"Your not going to get away from me that easy Anna" hao shouted.

Yoh was now on the third floor of the east tower and heard hao shouting. Yoh knew Anna was in trouble and quickly ran towards hao's voice.

Anna came to a door but it was locked she quickly turned and ran down another hall and found another door but it was locked as well. Anna then ran to the end of the hall and came to a dead end she slowly turned to see hao walking towards her.

"You shouldn't have ran away Anna" hao told her.

Anna backed against the wall as hao came up to her.

"And no one slaps me and gets away with it" hao added

Hao went to hit Anna but before he could strike her someone threw a knife at him pining him to the wall.

"You leave my girl alone"

Hao and Anna turned to see yoh.

"Yoh" Anna yelled.

Anna ran over to yoh and hugged him.

"You ok" yoh asked.

Anna nodded.

"I am now" Anna replied.

"Oh give the love stuff a rest will you" hao said as he released himself from the wall.

"Looks like this time you've got no tricks to rely on" yoh mocked.

"I don't need any tricks this time" hao replied.

Hao pulled out his sword and yoh got ready to fight.

"Lets see if your still as good as you used to be" hao added.

"Show me what you've got" yoh said.

Hao charged at yoh and both started to fight.

To be continued.
