Chapter Two: A human just like you

Jeremie walked out from behind the changing screen at Yumi's house, deciding that his ripped clothes were unwearable he had to change into some new ones, "How do I look?" His clothes were basically the same as his old ones. "Great." "Good, this is my last pair of wearable ones. The other ones were ripped, beaten up and really muddy." "We'll have to go out shopping some time to get you some more."

Jeremie sat down next to Aelita, "I wish I knew about Yami's mysterious past." "Me too, there is something strange about him..." He put an arm around Aelita, "He's really good with a sword too. I wonder who taught him." "We'll catch him tomorrow... how about we go around and ask people in the neighbourhood if they've seen him?" "Yeah that should work." Then they settled down for the night...

The next day they began asking the locals about Yami, all but a few didn't know who he was, the few only had seen him at school. They were clueless where he hung out.

Jeremie and Aelita sat at the table eating lunch, "What were you kids doing all day?" "Asking the locals about a friend of ours." "Who is this friend of yours? Can't you just ask them what you want to know?" "You see he's quite elusive and very quiet. A dark character if you catch my meaning." "Sounds a lot like the paperboy... oh well it's probably my imagination." There was a knock at the door. "Coming!" Aelita shouted as she ran to the door.

She opened it to see just who she needed to talk to. Yami. "What are you doing here?" She asked, "I'm delivering papers. What else?" "Do you mind if I ask you some questions?" "What kind of questions?"

Jeremie sat at the table, Aelita beside him and Yami on the other side. Jeremie took a sip from his drink and began to ask his questions. "My first question is who are you?" "I am Yami." "No I mean who are you? Where are you from? What is your past?" "Woah, you said a mouthful. Well... I think it is about time you found out anyway." He began to tell his story.

"I was born December 24, 1989. My mother and father died in a mysterious fire the day afterwards. My christmas present was losing both my parents." He said without showing any emotion. "I somehow always knew it was Xana. I don't know how but I always knew and always hated it. Anyway continuing, I was raised by my grandfather. He was a specialist in martial arts and with the sword. As soon as he saw me pick up a sword at two he knew I was destined to use it. He gave it to me on my 14th birthday as well as telling me what Xana was and begging me to destroy it. Up until he died he taught me everything I know. I enrolled at Kadic just recently." "But who looks after you?" "Myself." "I mean where are you staying?" "Anywhere that provides any shelter; in trees, under rocks, the sewer. Anywhere at all that provides shelter." Aelita and Jeremie were shocked at his harsh life...

Jeremie stood up, "I have one more question. Why didn't the bomb fully explode? Did you have something to do with it? And I know you from somewhere else. Where?" "The answer to your last question is did you ever wonder how you ended up at the entrance to Kadic when Xana attacked you?" Jeremie gasped, "I saw Xana beating you up on the street, after a long battle I defeated Xana and it retreated. I then dropped you off at Kadic."

"And the other question? Why didn't the bomb fully explode? We know you had something to do with it." He pulled out the cloth from his pocket, "This was found on the scene, it matches your clothes perfectly. What did you do to that bomb?" "I covered it with myself." "What? I'm sure I didn't hear you say that you covered it with yourself." "I did indeed." "You are kidding. The blast from it would've broken your ribs, arms and legs." "It did." "But that's impossible! You'd be screaming out in pain right now if you did!" "Yeah, I would wouldn't I? Well most people would. I'm much tougher than any other being." "What are you!" Jeremie said horrified, Aelita was staring at him wide eyed...

Yami paused for a second, got up and went to the door, "A human just like you." He said and closed the door behind him...

NOW YOU ALL KNOW THE TRUTH! What do you think? Please R&R!
