- Hey everyone! I hope that you guys'll like this story. I decided to write this fic cause I thought that it was about time that I write a fic that's not all humorace and all. So I decided to write a fic that's a little more dramatic and suspenseful. Hope that you guys like it. Well here it goes:

Battle Between Brothers
Chapter 1: Rightfully Mine
Started:12/29/04
Finished:12/30/04

It was another ordinary day in the Asakura house hold. Horo Horo and the other's were in the living room watching tv and Yoh and Anna were sitting on the couch looking through their old photo albums.

Yoh turned the page and Anna pointed to an embarrassing picture of Yoh when he was little.

"Well, well, well. Seems like someone found a way to keep cool during the summer." she said.

Yoh blushed. "Um....well it was really hot outside.... and well..... they wouldn't let me swim.... so I had to improvise."

"By running around outside in your underwear!?" asked Anna.

"Well yeah. What would you have done?" asked Yoh.

"I wouldn't run around in my underwear. That's for sure." Anna wrapped her arms around Yoh's arm and nuzzled up against him. All Yoh could do was smile and hug her back.

Yoh turned the page once more and pointed to a picture of Anna and Horo Horo.

"Hey I remember that picture!" said Anna.

"Who could forget this picture? It's when you punched Horo Horo for making fun of that outfit that you made for me. Remember the one for that you made for the 2nd round of the Shaman Tournament?" said Yoh.

Anna smiled. "Yeah. Good Times." she said.

Everything was going great but little did Yoh and the others know that Hao was watching every move that they made. He was outside, perched on the branch of a nearby tree. He was staring through the living room window and saw Yoh and Anna together.

"Hmmm. Well, well, well, little brother. You've managed to make her fall in love with you I see," Hao grinned. "But not for long. Soon I will return and take back what is rightfully mine! Just you wait little brother. Just you wait." and just then, Hao was gone.

Yoh suddenly felt something. He immediatly stopped what he was doing and walked over to the window. Anna who was confused by his action, walked over and stood next to him.

"What's wrong Yoh?" she asked.

Yoh stared outside and looked out at the tree that was beside their house. He knew that someone had been spying on them, but didn't know who it was. He then sighed and looked over at Anna.

"Uh......nothing. I thought I saw something. But no. Nothing's wrong."

"Are you sure?" asked Anna.

"Yeah. Everything's fine." Yoh held Anna's hand and they both walked back over to the couch.

Ren and the other's immedialtey looked over at Yoh and asked what was wrong.

"Did you see something Yoh?" asked Horo Horo.

"Nah. It's probably just my imagination." he said.

"Are you sure?" asked Ren. Ren sat up straight as if he were ready to take on any interferance.

"Yeah. I'm sure." said Yoh.

They all continued to watch the tv and Yoh and Anna continued to look through their photo albums.

----------

Evening came and it was time for everyone to go to sleep. Anna and Yoh were already in their robes and were one of the last ones to go to bed. They both walked over to their bedroom doors (their rooms were right across from each other). But Yoh stopped before turning his nob. Anna had already opened her door, but stopped before walking in and looked over at Yoh. Yoh smiled and turned to Anna.

"Good Night Anna." he said. He went over and gave Anna a peck on the cheek.

"Good Night Yoh." Anna went over to him, gave him a hug, and a small peck on the cheek.

Hao was once again watching them (He was sitting on the same tree, but this time he was looking through Anna's bedroom window) He grinned evilly.

"Hmm. That's right Anna. Kiss your precious Yoh for the last time. Because soon the one you will be kissing is me." he said.

"Just you wait Anata. No matter what you shall return to me." he yelled. Hao continued to sit patienty on the tree waiting to make his move.

Anna slowly walked into her bedroom and sat down on her bed.

"It's time." Hao grinned. He went over and sat on Anna's window sill. He sat on the edge so that Anna wouldn't see him.

Anna continued to sit on her bed. But suddenly, she heard a small tap on her window. She looked up and walked over to the window.

"What was that?" she asked. She looked out her window, but saw nothing.

"Hmph. Must have been my imagination." she said.

Anna turned, but just before she walked away.. a hand came crashing through the window and grabbed her by the waist. Anna closed her eyes, but then opened them to find herself in Hao's arms on her window sill.

"HAO!!?" she yelled.

"Well hello Anna. Nice to see you again." Hao said as he held Anna close to him.

Anna was panting from the surprise ambush, and tried to pull herself away from Hao's grasp.

"Let me go you...."

Hao then put his finger over Anna's lips silencing her. He slowly moved his face closer to her's.

Anna knew what he was trying to do and took quick action. She raised her arm and slapped Hao in the face.

Hao looked at her in shock, but thought nothing of it.

"A little fisty tonight aren't we." he smirked.

"Don't you even think about kissing me!" she snapped. She continued to struggle but was not able to brake free from Hao's arms.

"The more you struggle, the tighter my arms will wrap around you waist." Said Hao.

Hao wrapped his arm tighter around Anna's waist. Anna squirmed as Hao tightened his grip around her.

"Y...Yo........Yoh!!!" Anna screamed.

"Yoh isn't going to help you!." Hao began. " He doesn't care about you."

"You're wrong!" Anna cried. "YOH! PLEASE HELP ME!!!!" she continued.

Yoh, who was already sleeping, immeadiatly woke up to Anna's screams.

"Anna?" he whispered. He got out of his bed and quickly ran over to Anna's room. He was shocked when he saw Anna in Hao's arms on her window sill.

"HAO!!!" he yelled.

Hao looked over at Yoh and smiled.

"Nice to see you again little brother." he grinned.

"What are you doing with Anna?!!!.................." Put her down!!" he demanded.

"Dear brother, I'm merely taking back what is rightfully mine." he said without hesitaition. He held Anna closer to him and gave her a peck on the cheek. Anna tried to move her head back but it was no use.

"Don't touch her!!!" Yoh screamed.

"AMIDAMARU!!! SPIRIT FORM!! INTO THE SPIRIT SWORD!!!

"CELESTIAL SLASH!!"

Hao chuckled. He raised his arm up and blocked Yoh's attack with a powerful wind that came out of his hand. He then raised him hand once more and pushed Yoh into the wall with the same attack that Yoh used on him.

Yoh was slammed against the wall and layed on the ground motionless.

"YOH!!!!" Anna screamed. She tried to reach for her beloved but was not able to because Hao was holding her back.

"Yoh please get up!!" she screamed. Tears began to stream down Anna's face as she saw small trickles of blood begin to stream down Yoh's body.

"YOH!!!!" she cried.

Yoh slowly opened his eyes and got back up with the help of his sword. He was breathing heavily.

"Well looks like you're a little stronger than I thought, little brother." said Hao.

"Leave..Anna.......Alone." Yoh ordered. He stood up straight and was ready to battle.

Hao chuckled once more. "Hmmm...I don't think so." he raised his hand and used his powers to push Yoh once again. Yoh fell onto the ground and moaned in pain as he hit the side of Anna's bed.

"You see little brother... I told you that I was taking back what was rightfully mine and when I say that, I mean Anna. So you might as well stay back and let me pursue my life with my one true love, or face the consequences." Hao planted a small kiss on Anna's neck.

Anna slapped Hao in the face once again. "Don't touch me!!!" she screamed.

Hao became frustrated and placed his hand around Anna's neck. He held her up so that Yoh could see the torture that he was putting her through.

"I....I can't breathe!" said Anna.

Yoh growled and got back up.

"Ugh.....LEAVE HER ALONE!!!!!!!!!!" Yoh leaped into the air. "CELESTIAL SLASH!!!"

This time Yoh's attack struck Hao's arm causing him to drop Anna onto the floor. But just before Yoh could get to Anna, Hao rushed over and picked her up again.

"Nice try little bro. But you're just not fast enough......Well I have to be going now. Let's go Anna my love." Hao forcefully kissed Anna on the lips. Anna tried to resist, but Hao pulled her closer to him. He then turned to the window and was ready to go, but stopped to the sound of Yoh's voice.

"NO. I WILL NOT LET YOU TAKE HER FROM ME!!" said Yoh.

"CELESTIAL SLA....."

Before Yoh could strike, Hao's Spirit of Fire appeared.

Hao quickly climbed onto his spirit and took Anna with him. He threw Anna over his shoulder and turned to Yoh and smiled.

"Bye Bro."

Anna reached for Yoh, but was not able to grasp his hand. Yoh did the same, but was not able to reach Anna's hand.

"YOH!!!!!" she screamed.

"ANNA!!"

But just then, Hao and Anna disappeared.

Yoh stood in shock over what had just happened, he continued to stand by the window with his hand out. After what seemed like an eternity, Yoh fell to his knees and a tear began to stream down his face. He quickly wiped the tear off and became angry.

He punched the wall next to him. He punched it so hard that it made a dent.

"Damn him." he said. "How dare he take the person that is most important to me. That son of a bitch!....." Yoh then sighed.

The other's woke up from all of the noise and rushed over to Anna's room. They were surprised to find Yoh kneeling on the ground with his fist to the wall and blood all over his body.

Ren and Horo Horo rushed over a helped Yoh up.

"Yoh!!! What happened?!! Are you okay?!!" they asked.

Tamao and Pilika both looked at the scene in shock.

"Bring some bandages and moist towels!!" ordered Ren.

Tamao and Pilika obeyed his orders.

"Yoh. Dude. What happened?" asked Horo Horo.

Yoh pulled himself away from Ren and Horo Horo and stood up in the hallway.

"Anna." he said.

"Anna?!! What happened to her?" they asked.

"Hao." he said

Horo Horo and Ren then looked at each other with a mad expression on their face. They both despised Hao.

"Amidamaru!" Yoh called. Yoh's faithful gaurdian appeared in spirit form next to him.

"Yes master?" he answered.

"Let's go." Yoh took off his robe (he had his normal clothes on underneath, don't ask me why) and pulled out his sword once again. He began to walk down the stairs and towards the front door, but Ren and Horo Horo stopped him before he walked out.

"Where do you think you're going!?" asked Ren. "You cannot go out like this. You're hurt!"

Yoh sighed. He then gently shoved both Ren and Horo Horo out of the way and walked out the door.

Tamao and Pilika came rushing down the stairs to where Ren and Horo Horo were standing, with bandages and moist towels in their hands. They then stopped and saw Yoh walking outside.

"Where's Yoh going?" asked Tamao.

"To find Anna." said Horo Horo.

"What happened to her?" asked Pilika.

"We don't know. The only thing that Yoh would mention to us was Hao." said Ren.

"Do you think that Hao kidnapped her?" asked Pilika.

No one answered.

"Do you think that she's okay?" asked Pilika.

Ren and Horo Horo sighed.

"Do you think we should follow him?" Horo Horo asked Ren.

"Not yet."..........."This is his battle."....."A Battle Between Brothers." answered Ren.

They all looked on as Yoh walked into the night with Amidamaru by his side.
