Note: Another chapter on the story. The last one was just pointless...

But I liked the idea of getting the two engaged...Yeah there's no point

in it it's not too important to the story's plot. I hope you'll all

forgive me for that. This one has a lot more to do with the main

storyline. Someone actually finds out which Egyptian god possesses

whom!

The Dark Side: Startling Revelations

A day or so later, Amidamaru glared to Ren as he sat floating in the

air before him. 'You are making no sense, Ren.' he stated.

"I'm making perfect sense, if you'll just try to understand what I am

saying." Ren replied.

'If Lord Yoh would be possessed, he would take on traits of the spirit

united with him now. He would not be able to unite with me as he has

a while earlier for training. He. Is. Not. Possessed.'

"He is! Otherwise he wouldn't act so strangely! And you must admit he

has been acting rather strange for being his normal self!"

'He is happy. He has accepted Lord Manta's proposal of marriage, it's

only fitting he would be acting strangely that strangeness is likely

his happiness you're seeing.'

"Right, just like I'm acting strangely, but I tell you he's possessed

and if we don't do something to change that his baby and himself are

going to be lost in Darkness and used as a pawn, and I don't know about

you and that bastard of a fiance of a fiance of his but I do care

deeply that he's going to fall into Darkness and lose his second sight

because he can't meet that fate because I can't and I won't let him-"

Ren blurted out before he covered his mouth with his hands to shut

himself up upon realization of what he had said.

'As I had suspected.' Amidamaru said with a small sigh. 'You do have

feelings for him, but I assure you. He is not going to lose his second

sight, he won't be lost in what you called the Darkness. He is fine.

And another thing is how did you know he and Lord Manta were expecting

in the first place?'

"By now it is all around the cemetary. Everyone knows. Just as

everyone knows of his engagement now. So let me tell you a little

something. He has a soul of his own occupying his body. he also has

a child's soul in him, too, now. But he's also sharing his body with a

third soul. Rather, a third essence. That of an old Egyptian Lord.

And that Lord has plans to take his revenge on the Egyptians, the child

and to destroy anyone in his way. I refuse to let Yoh get hurt because

a damn god wants to get his revenge by way of using his body as his

transport vessel!"

'I am sorry to put it this way, but unless you have a way to prove

what you are saying, I will dismiss this conversation.' Amidamaru said

seriously.

A frown came to Ren's face as he closed his eyes and stepped back from

the samurai's ghost. "I do have proof."

At this, Ren's hair fell limp down by his ears, covering them, two

jackel-like ears formed from the top of his head, his eyes slanting,

his clothing becoming that of an Egyptian priest's.

Ren opened his eyes, which were now blank white, a frown widening

across his face as his brow furrowed at the look of astonishment on

Amidamaru's face.

'My proof.' he said as the familiar dark tone hit his voice and took on

an echo of Ren's voice.

'Who are-' Amidamaru began.

'The Lord of the Dead and Mummification, Ruler of the Underworld,

guarded by Bastet.' Ren replied, anguish on his face and written in his

blank eyes. 'I had hoped to avoid appearing before anyone. But if it

is proof you needed-' he broke off. 'Listen. Here is my information.

All I know and can speak of.'

Amidamaru listened as Anubis spoke through Ren's lipse. He'd not

expected such a thing to happen.

And so, Anubis began his tale, from the first message given from the

Oracle of Death, as to the future of the prince and his lover, to the

way it was his fault Akovara had returned, up to this moment when he

had shown his form to Amidamaru. All the while, the samurai sat there,

listening hard to everything that Anubis said to him.

'How can we possibly defeat the Destruction Lord?' Amidamaru inquired

of Anubis.

'We cannot, I am in none of their destinies but this boy's. By all

rights, Akovara should not have been, either. I cannot release

Jeniq-Da's soul from his control, nor can I do the same for Resun-Do,

nor the Oracle, whom Akovara has out keeping the two in line for him as

we speak. The prince and his lover will be free to pass on to the

other side with Jeniq-Da and Resun-Do if the Destruction Lord is

destroyed as their desties say is to happen if things are pulled off

correctly. You and the Shaman's son are the only ones able to truly

destroy Akovara. He is destined to lose at your hands, and the Shaman

and his lover can go on as though they had never had to deal with

Akovara or with myself.'

'How might I help? I cannot battle as you say I would need to in order

to aid Starshine's battle against him with Lord Yoh. I am not flesh

and blood.'

'There is a way. Two nights from now, you must speak an encantation,

it is to give you Starshine's future body to use as a shell, all your

skills in tact. Two nights from now, the Shaman's energy and his son's

will be in allignment. This is when Akovara plans to seize full

control of the Shaman. Together, you and Starshine must destroy the

Lord of Destruction for the sake of the world.'

'What must I say?'

And so Anubis told Amidamaru the words to the spell he was to speak two

nights from then, making sure it was securely in Amidamaru's memory.

As Anubis left Ren's body, the Shaman collapsed to the ground weakly,

Anubis' essance having left for good. He was out of energy for the

moment, having been possessed for so long, and by a god no less. It

was clear that he would be out of commission during the time of the big

battle between Starshine, Amidamaru, Yoh and the Lord of Destruction.
