Author's Note: I'm starting to take new suggestions for the stories description. Personally I don't think that it really describes where the story is going at this point. I would, in addition, like to announce that I will update for every five reviews. Also, a special shout out to lilyofthevalley, since this chapter is dedicated to you. Congradulations!
Reviews:
Destany Mitchell- It's okay, but I do appreciate it when you review. Thanks for the compliments too! I got a real kick out a lot of the things you said. Thank you for the review!
Quillian- Really? Hmm...maybe it's a coincidence? I doubt it, but hell, you never know. Anyway, thanks for the review! I hope to here from you again!
Lilmaniac- Nasty evil Taxxons? Hey, not all Taxxons are evil you know. TAXXONS UNITE! Thank you for reviewing and such.
krazi little aus- I am? Well that's good news! You were one of my favorite authors, up until the point that you stopped writing. Anyway, you seem to be enjoying it, so all I can say now is for you to enjoy! Thanks for the review!
lilyofthevalley- yeah, thanks. Initially, I didn't plan on taking it in this direction, but now that I have, I can see that it was the right choice. About Meghan and George, I guarantee you that I will focus more on them in the future, but right now it's about Michael and Kinrath. I'd tell you more, but I don't want to spoil it for you. Enjoy the chapter, and thank you for reviewing!
bb47- yeah, I know, neither have I. Actually, I haven't read all of them, so I doubt that I am a reliable source! Oh well! On with whatever I was doing! Thanks agian for reviewing, by the way!
Myitt- Really? You know you're the first person to say that! I am very glad you decided to review, and if you're reading this you've decided to read it again! Whoopee! Not really. Thanks for the review.
Okay, I am certain all my fans out there will enjoy this one, Chapter 24!

Slowly I regained concousness. My mind stirred until I was fully awake and alert.
((Good morning.)) chimed a voice in my head. ((I took the liberty of going through a few more memories while you were asleep to get to know you better. So, should we tell the others yet?))
((Oh. It's you.)) I said in a clearly annoyed voice. ((I forgot my head is a time-share.))
((It's good to see you too.)) Kinrath began. He got up from bed and dressed me in my favorite pair of jeans and a loose fitting t-shirt. We walked into the main area where Ax was watching 'These Messages' again.
I took control to adress the others.
"Guys? We need to talk." I said in my best Jake impression.
"About what? How Ax has an obsession with shampoo comercials?" said George.
((But I need it so my fur won't suffer from what you humans call 'dandruff'.)) The yeerk laughed in my head.
"No. It's something really, really important. We need to have a meeting. Now."
"Could you at least tell me? I mean, out of everyone here I thought you could at least trust me enough to tell me something important." said Meghan. My stomach did a summersault. I was frozen. I had no idea what to do next. Kinrath suddenly took control.
"I'm sorry, but I can't give you any special treatment. You'll have to wait just like everyone else. That means you George."
"Oh whatever!" he said.
We stepped outside and morphed. Meghan finished first and took off. Ax and I finished after her, and soon George finished morphing as well and covered the rear. We remained pretty much spead out so that no one would have thought we were in a group. We neared the barn and descended down to Earth. I could feel the yeerk looking through so pretty personal information just when I landed.
((Get out of there! Remember, yeerk, I'm not afraid to go ahead and starve you out of my head okay? That was information I intend to keep private, thank you very much.))
((Michael, when you are a controller, there's no such thing as personal. I probably know more about you than anyone else. Unlike other yeerks, I actually think we can get along. I don't think that's possible, though, if you don't accept that you are a controller, and nothing in the world can change that. By the way, while we were arguing, I took the liberty of demorphing you and walking us into the barn. Rachel just made a snide remark about your jeans, by the way. Would you like to take it from here?))
((Gladly.))
I gained control. I think I might have rushed it because I had a terrible headache now. I placed a hand on the top of my head. I turned to Rachel.
"Whatever you said, up yours." I said. She gave me the finger and turned back to Tobias, who was no doubt talking to her about something. Jake piped up.
"Michael, what's this about?" he began.
"Well...um...I...er...I'm a...controller."
The entire room remained silent. Jake and Marco stared at my head. Rachel cracked her knuckles.
"You know Marco, that kinda creeps me out." I said. Out of nowhere, Ax's tailblade was at my throat. I put my hands up. "What?"
Jake stepped up to me and looked me into the eye. I stared right back at him. Kinrath was humming some song in my head. I couldn't believe this! That little bastard was enjoying this! The others advanced on me and Rachel grabbed me from behind.
"Hold on! The yeerk is peaceful! He's in the peace movement! Don't you think I would've already gone to the Visser by now?"
"How do we know you haven't already?" said Meghan. Her voice burned with a fire that wasn't there before. I thought for a moment.
"Look, I think that there is only one way to prove that I'm Michael and not just another yeerk trick. Cassie, can I have a glass of water?" She looked at me for a second and then ran to the fridge, pulled out a cup, ran to the sink, and filled it with water. She walked over and handed it to me. "Thanks."
((You know what to do.)) I said to Kinrath.
((You'd better be right about this.)) he said. He detatched himself from my brain and slithered out of my head. I swear, it felt even worse than morphing. He ploped into the glass and I looked around to see everyone had practically lost it.
"Oh man, that is freakin sick!" said George. He clutched his stomach protectively. Rachel looked from me to the floating yeerk and fell back into the hay bale. Tobias...well Tobias looked like a very suprised bird. Which he was. Jake and Cassie exchanged suprised looks. Meghan remained placid.
"So uh...now what?" I asked.
Yet again, misfortune has humped my leg.
