"How could she do this to me?" Geno asked himself, sitting on the edge of his bed. "How could she side with Yami?"

[I]"It is his charm,"[/I] He said back to himself. [I] "That is how he got Kaikou: He makes them believe that he is a hero, and then, then he turns them against you."[/I]

"But he isn't the villain he once was! He is fighting to stop people who are becoming what he was! HE has redeemed himself!"

[I]"Redeemed?" [/I] He snarled, standing up. [I]"There is no redemption, not for him, not for anyone. We are what we are. Some are villains, some are weapons, Weapons of the Gods!"[/I]

"Not anymore." He said softly. His face twisted into a sneer.

[I] "Let's keep telling ourselves that! Let's keep saying that we are good and heroic! It is a lie! There is no Redemption for the gods!"[/I] He paused. [I]"And if they do try to redeem themselves, we are caught in the cross fire. You know what happened to us when you tried to put an end to a mistake they made."[/I]

Geno moved to the mirror, and took off his sunglasses. Long gone were the hazel eyes that had charmed women, that had held love andlife. Now, all that were left were 2 pale, dead openings, silver light pouring out of them, illuminating his face. He touch his face. "A result of my bloodline and the gates." He rubbed his back. "Along with a few other gifts."

His eyes darkened, taking a redish quality, the silver flashing quickly but not returing. [I]"They did this to us. They have pushed you, all of them, never expecting you to snap."[/I] He smiled, and rubbed his right hand. [I]"You can't deny who you were. The gates gave us back our powers. They are returning. Why not use them to punish those that stand in our way?"[/I]

"I will not let you hurt Michelle!" Geno said, pulling his right hand away from his left. "I won't!"

His left hand backed away. [I]"First of all, I would never hurt Michelle. All I am saying is maybe we should try and let her dark side.."[/I]

"NO!" Geno screamed, grabbing his dagger and pressing it into his left hand. "I will not let you do that to her! She won't become like me!"

His left hand moved away, and tossed the dagger aside. [I] "That is what I want to do. I don't want her to be weak, a fool!"[/I] Chaos chuckled, and reached for the dagger, and played with it. [I] "Where would you be without me? Dead, that's where! Ymi would still have you ded in your crypt. It was me that killed those priests! And it llowed you to go to the gods of Greece, to beg for the army."[/I] He spit in disgust. [I] "We could have killed them, all of them, but no! We had to work with them! And then, there is Amanda! Without me, you would still be her lap dog. But I saw through the harlot, and helped you cast her out. You need me! We must work together now!"[/I]

Geno screamed as he feel to the ground, his eyes fluttered open and close, light pouring into the room.

"Geno!"

He didn't feel Michelle lifting him onto the bed, but he sensed it. He breathed shallow breathes, his body on fire. She held his hand and chanted every protection spell she knew.

His eyes flickered open, now a darkened silver, like tarnished metal. He smiled slightly.

"Geno?"

Geno looked at her. "What can we do for you?"

She sighed wit relief. "Good, good." She looked at him. "What happened.it wasn't."

"Ya." He said. "but he's under control." She nodded, and left to go get some ice. "He is [I]perfectly under[/I] control, [I]oh[/I] yes."
