Chapter 10

Light stood close by the twins and Ryuzaki, glaring at Xavier across the clearing. Hikaru and Kaoru looked in the same direction. "Just ignore him." Kaoru advised.

"He doesn't matter." Kaoru added more harshly.

"As long as he's not leader, you'll be fine." Ryuzaki assured. Light glanced over worryingly. "I need to find my brother, you three stay here." Ryuzaki walked off to search for Adam and tell him of what's happening. He looked around the clearing where most warriors hung out when they weren't doing anything, just sharing the news of the day. He eventually saw Adam talking with Marisa and John. Ryuzaki approached them, trying to act casual, not wrought with fear for Light.

Marisa looked up and smiled at him. "Hey, what's up?" She greeted in a cheerful tone.

"I need to talk to my brother alone." Ryuzaki told her.

"What for?" John asked with suspicion in his tone.

"Private matters."

Marisa nodded and gently pushed Adam forward. "What is it?" Adam asked a bit annoyed. Ryuzaki motioned him further off and they walked a little ways away from Marisa and John.

"We need your help." Ryuzaki informed.

"We?"

"Light's in danger."

"Thought he was betraying us."

No, we were wrong, it's Xavier, he'll kill Light-"

"Whoa! Okay, I'm sorry I'm not getting involved, I have better things to do!" Adm turned and walked off back to Marisa and John.

"Adam!" No response. He sighed, no help from his brother. Ryuzaki shook his head disappointed and began to walk back when a man appeared beside him. He looked a lot like Rigg, who was his brother. He was darker skinned and wore a hat with a yellow jacket over an orange button up shirt, dark jeans, and a large gold buckle. He had the power to teleport any where, which he didn't like, but used it anyway. "Wraith."

"What was that about?" Wraith asked.

"My brother won't help me."

"With what?"

"It's a long story."

"I got a lot of time."

Ryuzaki gave him a thoughtful look then beckoned him to where the twins and Light stood. Light looked disappointed when he realized Adam wasn't there and already had guess what Ryuzaki would say. "Adam won't help us, but I have some one who might."

"He said there was a long story." Wraith said.

Light gave him a sad look. "Xavier's trying to kill me."

"Why?" Wraith gave him a surprised look.

"Because I saw him kill Brit and Jonas. I know he's a traitor and he wants me gone."

"Have you told Jigsaw?"

"Well... No..."

"Man! Come on! Let's go tell him!" Wraith teleported next to him and lead him in front of the leaders tent. Much to their displeasure, Xavier and a warrior named Russ were guarding it. Light reluctantly stopped, but Wraith pulled him to face the guards. "We need to talk to Jigsaw." Wraith told them, trying not to show fear.

"Only one."Xavier growled. Wraith looked at Light and shoved him in the tent, knowing it would be dangerous for him to be out here alone with Xavier. Xavier grabbed Wraith's arm. "Well, go away."

"I'm waiting for him." Wraith boldly replied and teleported out of his grip. Xavier scowled, but didn't say anything.

Light quietly and cautiously entered the tent. Jigsaw stood, back facing the tent with arms folded across his chest. "Yes, Light? What is it?" He asked, not turning.

"Sir, it's about Xavier." Light said shakily.

"Quite a remarkable warrior, isn't he? Jigsaw turned and smiled warmly.

"Well, I wouldn't say that."

John's continace changed to become serious. "Do you doubt his skills?"

"Well, sir, I'm afraid he isn't right to be deputy." Light confessed.

"What would give you that impression? He's perfectly capable of leading SpiritClan."

Jigsaw shook his head."No." He turned away.

"Please, you have to listen! Even Ryuzaki, Eddy, and Wraith... They all know!"

"No!" Jigsaw cut him off. "You should be ashamed."

"Yes, sir, you have to believe me, he's working with BoneClan, he wants to kill me!"

"Enough! Leave now."

Light shook his head disappointed and walked out of the tent and began to walk back with

wraith following him. "What did he say?" Wraith asked desperately.

"He doesn't believe me. Looks like we need to prove this on our own."
