THE GUARDIAN.
Chapter 2 - The Spirit and Some Changes.

Mokuba looked up at the girl. Her caramel eyes sparkled with mischief. Her brown hair was floating around her face. She was dressed in a pair of jeans, a light blue bandanna, a long-sleeved, pastel blue, t-shirt, with white sleeves, a pair of black hiking boots and black, fingerless, leather gloves. She smiled at Mokuba. "Well kid, I'm your guardian now." The girl said. Mokuba looked at her as though she were a ghost. "Gosh kid, I didn't mean to frighten you. I'm the spirit of the necklace. I'm Ren." The girl emphasised. Mokuba's eyes widened. "You're the one that the shop-keeper told me about?" Mokuba asked. Ren smiled. "Yeah. I kinda changed what I wear, to go with the times. I'm retro like that." Ren said smiling. Mokuba smiled back. "So now you protect me?" Mokuba asked. "Yes. It's my job to make sure that no harm comes to you." Ren said. "I don't have school tomorrow. I wanted to ask you what happened. In your time." Mokuba said. He smiled at her. "I think that's a story best saved for another time. What's your name little one?" Ren asked. "My name's Mokuba." Mokuba replied. Ren smiled at him. "Get some sleep Mokuba. When you need me, I'll be here. I promise." Ren said. She disappeared back into the necklace. Mokuba smiled, and went to sleep. Happy in the knowledge that he had a guardian, like all of his friends.

The next morning. Mokuba woke up early. He found Seto at the breakfast table. Already dressed for work. Mokuba looked down. He really did feel alone when his brother went to work. "Seto, I was hoping we could spend today together." Mokuba said. Pleading with his eyes. Seto finished his coffee. He got up from the table and knelt down in front of Mokuba. "I'm sorry Mokuba. But I have to go to work. Maybe next Saturday. O.K. squirt?" He said. Smiling, he picked up his laptop, and cell phone, going to his car and driving off.
Mokuba sat in his room for a while. Then turned on his radio. The song, Somewhere I Belong, by Linkin Park, blasted out. Mokuba loved Linkin Parks music, but he knew Seto would never approve. "Why not?" He heard a voice echo. Mokuba jumped. "I'm sorry Mokuba. I didn't mean to startle you." He heard the voice. Recognising Ren, he relaxed. "Sorry Ren. I guess I'm not quite used to you yet." Mokuba said. Smiling to himself. Ren came out of the necklace. "I think there's something that you need to know Mokuba." Ren said. Mokuba nodded. He really wanted to hear what she had to say. "You have to be your own person Mokuba. If you like music, then listen to it. If you like certain things, then do them. It's not your brothers life. You're only a kid. You should be able to listen to what you like and do the things you want to do. I mean obviously you should listen to your brother. But you should also have your own opinion too." Ren said. Mokuba decided that he'd definitely be buying Linkin Park's album after all.

Seto came home. He went past Mokuba's room, to hear the blaring of Linkin Park's, Crawling, coming out from under the door. He opened the door to see the most shocking sight of his life.
Mokuba was sprawled out on his bed. He was wearing a pair of jeans, black trainers and a black t-shirt. He was reading Stephen King's Misery and eating a packet of paprika flavoured, Max crisps. Seto was in total shock. For one thing, he didn't know his brother liked horror books. For another thing, he didn't know that Mokuba was reading advanced horror like Stephen King. Another thing was that He couldn't believe that Mokuba was listening to Linkin Park. Or that he liked the colour black. "What's wrong Seto?" Mokuba asked. "Uh...nothing kiddo." Seto said. He left the room, thinking. "What the heck is going on?"
