Discaimer: Animorphs is not, will not, and cannot be mine. It belongs to K.A. Applegate.

Authors note: Wow! I have to say that I never expected to do this good! I would like to thank everyone who reviewed and read this thing so far, and I hope that I can continue to hear from you guys in the future. Also, I actually wrote this chapter a while ago but didn't get the time to upload it. I hope my fans will forgive my tardiness! Thanks again and enjoy the chapter!

Reviews:

lilmaniac- mmkay, well I guess your answer lies in this chapter! Thank you for reviewing!

Quillian- first off, I would like to say that yes, I have read paradise forsaken. It was very good! Second, I would like to say that that idea had come to mind, but after some careful decision making I decided that it wouldn't really make much sense, partly because none of the animorphs think that kinrath is peaceful. Plus, Michael still feels very hostile about being a controller, and thusly takes his anger out on Kinrath. If I do use that idea, it will probably come out later on. Thanks for the review!

lilyofthevalley- Actually, I have been reading Broken for a while now. It's by Anifan1 by the way. Also, I assure you that I will make probably the next chapter in the yeerks point of view. Thanks for your review.

Destany Mitchell- Thanks for your review! I read the three chapters a few days ago. I thoughtit was really good! I hope you'll continue writing and reviewing my story. Thanks!

krazi little aus- as always, you've generously reviewed my fan fic, so I might as well say thanks. I'm glad you liked the metaphor too. Not too many people realized it was my take on a joke. Anyways hope to hear from you again!

bb47- Glad you think so! Thank you for reviewing!

Alright, time for the chapter known as Chapter 25! Enjoy!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After a long and extremely tiresome conversation, we came to an agreement. So far, the others agreed on this much. Yes, Kinrath was in the peace movement and was no threat to us. No, I am not a voluntary controller, nor will I ever ever ever be. And lastly, yes, I would have to stay a controller until they could figure out how to get Kinrath back into the yeerk pool.

"What! Your telling me I have to live with this gut in my head? Hell no!" I exclaimed to Jake.

"Look, as much as I would like to just waltz in to the yeerk pool and toss Kinrath in, we can't! For now, you two will just have to get along."

"Get along my ass! If you like him so much why don't you let him infest you! I don't see why I have to have that slug wrapped around my brain! I'm getting sick just think about it!" I glared at the yeerk floating innocently in the glass. "Hold on. Why don't we take turns? I get him for the rest of the day, Jake gets him tommorow, and so on. Sound like a good idea?"

Everyone exchanged uncomfortable looks. Rachel decided to speak her mind. "There is no way that thing is going in my head!"

"Same here!" said George.

((I refuse.)) said Ax.

"Fine then! Screw you guys, I'm going home." I picked up the glass and walked out of the barn. I walked for a few minutes before stopping and sitting down. I held the glass up to my ear like before and closed my eyes. I wouldn't give the yeerk the satisfaction of me watching him infest me. I felt his slimy form touch the edge of my ear. Slowly he eased himself inside it until his whole body was inside. He secreated more painkillers until he reached the brain. Then he strechted out and wrapped himself around it. This sort of thing didn't hurt as much as it used to. A sign that my body was addapting to yeerk control.

It only added more hate towards the yeerk. And to think that I chose this!

((Hello. How did the meeting go?))

((See for yourself, yeerk.))

He read through my memories. When he was finished he spoke again.

((I'm sorry that I am such a burden to you. I- I just thought we could be friends. I see that I was wrong.))

((No! Kinrath I'm- I'm the one who should be sorry. You've been nice to me and have treated me with respect and politeness. I'm going through a tough time and I would really like to be left alone. So...what do you think we shoild do?))

((I'm not sure. But, right now, we have a bigger problem. I need to feed in the yeerk pool now, so I guess we should be making our way to the Gap.))

((Oh great. So now I'm going to be treated like some sort of mindless vessel by your kind. Fine. Fuck it. Just tell me, how long do I have to wait in the cages?))

((Cages? Why would I send you to the cages? I thought you knew by now that there is a voluntary section.))

((Voluntary? As in people actually let you infest them! What kind of human would willingly surrender to yeerk control?))

((You're asking me? I guess that they either have depressing lives and wish that they could just get away from it all, or that they simply believe that there is no way that the yeerks could lose and therefore decided that they might as well join them willingly.))

((So do you want to lead the way this time? I'm beginning to grow weary of tedious stuff like this.))

((That's what I'm here for.))

We morphed to the Maltese and took off into the sky. We flew past rooftops and past streets until finally landing on the roof of the Gap. We made our way inside and walked to the dressing rooms. Kinrath went over to the last dressing room and soon we wound up in the yeerk pool. The screaming and suffering was a horrible think to see. Before we could enter the main pool area, we had to pass through a scanner to make sure I had a yeerk in my head. After coming up positive, the Hork-Bajir controller let us pass.

Kinrath walked onto the infestation pier and walked up to another Hork-Bajir Controller.

"Voluntary." he said. The Hork-Bajir controller nodded and Kinrath held my head down to the sludgy ooze. He slithered out of my ear and I regained control. I blinked a few times and stood up. The Hork-Bajir led me to a far off area and walked me through a door. The room we were in was a soundproof one so the screaming was no longer ringing in my ears. I walked over to the cafeteria and grabbed myself a slice of pizza. I had to hand it to them, the yeerks could make an awsome pizza.

I sat down on one of the many sofas and finished what was left of my lunch. I was about to get up and explore the place when a girl sat down next to me.

"Hi. My name's Kim. You seem new around here." she said. I didn't respond. "Umm, which yeerk do you have?"

"If you haven't guessed already, then let me spell it out for you. Shut. Up." There is no way that I'm going to talk to a voluntary controller.

"Why are you being so mean? I would think that you would relish the time our yeerk masters give us to relax." I was just about ready to tell her off when someone else joined us. This time it was a boy.

"Something up?" he asked Kim.

"Nothing really Tyler. This guy's just being a jerk."

He turned to me. "Do you have a problem with her? Because if you have a problem with her, then you have a problem with me." I flipped him off and walked off. They followed me.

Why do I always have to get the crazy ones?
