LADY BLADE: Good afternoon, morning or whatever the hell time it is, when you're reading this. At the moment, it's the afternoon for me.
CDD: You seem to be in a bad mood.
LADY BLADE: O-O! Actually I'm very happy.
KAIBA: You? Are happy? That's not humanly possible is it?
LADY BLADE: It must be if I am.
YB: By all calculations of human proportions, you are NEVER and have NEVER been happy in your life.
LADY BLADE: Stop reigning on my parade. I'm allowed to be happy like everyone else. Besides, I am seriously happy.
MARIK: And why, pray tell, might that be?
LADY BLADE: Well, you see, I found out that I like myself. It's like the dawn of great realisation, and the sense of empowerment of confidence.
YAMI: And that means what exactly?
LADY BLADE: That means that I have seen the light, and have changed the way I think about myself.
KAIBA: So you're no longer a cold heartless bitch?
LADY BLADE: ARE YOU CRAZY? Of course I am. I just like being that cold heartless bitch.
(All but Lady Blade sweatdrop)
YB: So you ENJOY being a psychopath?
MARIK: More then us?
LADY BLADE: I'm not a psychopath. I'm humanly challenged. Being a psychopath is your jobs, Marik and Yami Bakura.
CHIBI SETO: (blinks) You're not going to change your writing are you?
CHIBI YAMI: Yeah.
(Both chibi's pout)
LADY BLADE: Would I ever do that to my readers?
KAIBA: I don't know what you would do to your readers, but if it's what you would do to us, then I dread to think.
LADY BLADE: OO! HEY! I didn't do anything to you guys lately.
KAIBA: You're a terrible liar.
LADY BLADE: So what if I gave Yami Bakura a swirly and set Marik's hair on fire, IT WASN'TMY FAULT! The dog told me to do it.
KAIBA: If you're talking about your chi hua hua, you must be crazy. That dog is not only of miniscule proportions (like the Mutt's brain) but it's supposed to be a (swallows in disgust) CUTE dog. It's also not here.
(everyone looks at Kaiba in a strange way)
KAIBA: You didn't think I could last one day without insulting the Mutt.
LADY BLADE: No I didn't think that you would ever call my dog cute.
KAIBA: The dog's controlling my brain.
LADY BLADE: That's my excuse, get your own one.
YAMI: I'm almost glad that Joey isn't here.
MARIK: Why might that be?
YAMI: Uhmn……….. maybe because he and Kaiba would be at each other's throats after that comment.
MARIK: True.
LADY BLADE: Riiiiiiiiiiight, I wanna get on with the chapter.
CDD: I'll do the disclaimer. Lady blade WarAngel does not own Yu-Gi-Oh or it's characters. However Ren is Lady Blade's Yami, and as she is not here, I can honestly say that she's more of a psycho then Yami Bakura.
REN: (off screen) I HEARD THAT YOU LITTLE CHIBI!
CDD: (gulps) OO!

Chapter 5 – Heart to Heart and A bit of The Truth.

Ren was still smirking. Mokuba looked at Ren. "So the story that the shopkeeper told me was true?" Mokuba asked. "What part kid?" Ren questioned. "That you were the Ancient Pharaoh's sister. And that the High Priest Seth trained you to use your powers?" Mokuba asked. Ren smiled gently. "Yeah that is true. Most of the story is true. Except a lot of it, was left out. So much happened. My spirit hung around the royal palace trying to watch over my brother. I saw all that happened in the time of great darkness." Ren said sadly. "Will you tell us?" Yami asked. His memories were still unclear, and finding out that this woman was his sister, was yet another milestone for him to climb over. He wanted the whole story.
"I may tell you more. But not today." Ren said. She looked at Mokuba. "Do you mind if I go and get some rest Mokuba? You don't need to worry about Eluk for now. He'll go back to the Ancients and get his arms healed, then he'll be back for more. So I'd give him at least four weeks. Two if they decide to send someone else." Ren said. Mokuba looked at her quizzically. Kaiba glared. "I want to know who these Ancients are." Kaiba hissed. "And I will tell you. Tomorrow." Ren said. Mokuba grinned. "It's O.K. Ren. If you say I don't need to worry about that creepy guy for now, then you can rest. Seto wouldn't let anything happen to me while you're asleep, and even if you're not, he still wouldn't let anything happen to me." Mokuba said.
Ren smiled. "I know he wouldn't. Because that's in his nature." Ren whispered. Only Mokuba heard her. Then in an aura of green light, she disappeared, and went back into the necklace.
Kaiba glared slightly. "Ren said she'll tell us tomorrow, she always keeps her word, big brother." Mokuba said. Kaiba shook his head. "You are not going to go out without me from now on Mokuba." Seto said. Mokuba glared then. "Seto, I'm not a baby anymore. I may not be a grown up, but you used to do the same things as me when you were my age." Mokuba said. "Do as I say, not as I do." Seto said. Mokuba really glared then. (A/N: CLASSIC LINE! CDD: Since when was that line classic? LADY BLADE: My mother used that on me all the time, and my grandmother still uses it now. CDD: Aren't you legally an adult now? LADY BLADE: Well yeah. In England, 18 means legal adulthood. But try telling that to my grandmother. CDD: True true) Mokuba looked like he was steaming. Kaiba stopped and really looked at his little brother. "Mokuba, I'm not going to let anything happen to you. You're my only family, my little brother, and there is no one else on this planet that deserves the right to call themselves that." Kaiba said. "I KNOW that Seto. Didn't you just hear me tell Ren that? I KNOW that you wouldn't let anything bad happen to me. That doesn't mean you should lock me in my room for the rest of my life. I need to be allowed to make my own mistakes, and I need to be allowed to grow up in my own way." Mokuba said. Kaiba's jaw nearly dropped. Was this his little brother? Was this really happening? Mokuba never used to cross what he said. Kaiba looked at Mokuba. "Before you asked where I learned such big words, I've been around you all my life. I learned how to talk kinda early. And I'm not saying any of this to hurt you, you're my big brother. But I want to be able to do things myself. I don't need to be protected all the time." Mokuba said.
That was when Kaiba realised that Mokuba was right. "I can't protect him forever." Kaiba thought to himself. "Look, if you can promise me that when I'm not around, that this spirit of yours is reliable, then I'll allow you to go out. But on condition that you come home if you see any trouble." Kaiba said. Mokuba blinked. "Are you really my big brother? I expected more yelling." Mokuba questioned. Kaiba smiled slightly. "You're right Mokuba. I treat you like a small child, and you're not anymore. You're growing up, and I need to except that. But at the moment, you're in danger. So don't forget what I said. Any kind of trouble, no matter how small, then you come home." Kaiba said. Mokuba nodded.

Mokuba was still wondering around the streets, thinking about who the Ancients were. "What do they want with me?" Mokuba thought to himself. He heard a voice in his head. "Do you really want to know that?" Mokuba recognised Ren immediately. "I want to know. It's something to do with me, so why shouldn't I know?" Mokuba thought. He knew Ren could hear him perfectly clearly.
"Mokuba, some things are left unknown." Ren said sadly. "You said you would tell me." Mokuba shot back. Ren sighed. Or rather Mokuba heard her sigh. This whole conversation was happening in Mokuba's mind. "Alright. I made a promise, I'll keep my word. But I never promise that this will be easy for you to hear." Ren said. Mokuba mentally nodded. Now he was afraid of what Ren would tell him.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Mokuba walked home slowly. When he got in, Kaiba was waiting for him. "Alright Mokuba, I want to talk to your little friend." Kaiba said. Mokuba's shoulders slumped. "Ren, can you come out of your necklace please?" Mokuba asked. Ren appeared in a flash of emerald green aura, and was sitting on a comfortable looking armchair.
Kaiba glared fiercely. "You said you were going to tell us what is going on." Kaiba said. "And I will. I always keep my word." Ren said. Kaiba nodded. Ren sighed and then started her story.
"In the time of the nameless Pharaoh and his court, I was not one of the most important people in the story. I tried my hardest to stop the war that happened but I couldn't do it." Ren said. "I bet you would've been able to if that evil Maxamilion hadn't killed you." Mokuba said. Ren bit her lip. (A/N: I cannot spell that god damn name. maxa whatever it is, so please don't tell me it's spelt wrong, coz I already KNOW that it is. So thanks)
"Mokuba, I did what I could. But after my death, things happened that were out of my control. My bother grieved for me terribly. He wanted to have Maxamillion killed. But Maxamillion pleaded for his life, saying he thought that I was lying, and that he himself had seen me committing treason. Maxamillion was sent to the prison for lying. But he convinced the High Priest Seth, that the Pharaoh had ordered me to death. The High Priest having taught me everything I knew about my powers, was angered that the Pharaoh should want to kill his own sister. That is what caused the battle to which you still don't know whom the victor is. I cannot tell you who the victor is, because it is not time for you to know that yet." Ren spoke.
Mokuba looked carefully, and saw the tears that were hidden in her eyes. He wished that he didn't have to ask her that one question. The one that he feared so much. "Ren, why do those people want me? Who are the Ancients?" Mokuba asked.
Ren smiled slightly. "Because, now that the powers have chosen you, you must learn to control them. But the Ancients, want to revive the ancient battles. I won't allow that to happen. I'll train you to use your powers Mokuba, IF you wish it. But only if you swear to me, never to revive the ancient battles." Ren said quietly. Mokuba nodded. "I don't want to. They caused a lot of pain didn't they?" Mokuba asked. "Yes they did. Thousands of people were injured and killed during the times of darkness. I don't want to see that revived. I don't want to see history repeat it's self." Ren said quietly.
Mokuba nodded. "I promise. I won't ever revive the ancient battles." Mokuba said. "So you wish to learn how to use your powers?" Ren asked. Mokuba nodded. Kaiba glared slightly. "Won't these powers make him more of a target?" Kaiba asked. Mokuba looked at his brother. "Seto, if I learn how to use my powers, then I can defend myself. If I don't then people will always be looking for me. They'll want to take me away and use my powers for themselves. I don't want to hurt anyone. If I learn how to use my powers, then maybe I can help people." Mokuba said.
Ren smiled. "Mokuba you have to understand, that these powers will always be hard to control. Once I help you to unleash and control them, then you must keep control of them for the rest of you life. If you don't keep control of them, then they will keep control of you." Ren said. Mokuba nodded. But didn't understand what the controlling of his powers would entail for him. He only knew in his heart that he had to learn to control them. "I still want to learn." Mokuba said. Ren nodded. "I'll start teaching you tomorrow." Ren said.
