00000000000OOOOOOOOOoooo

"What the hell happened?" Ausar said shockingly, looking at his reflection.

Looking at the mirror, he expected to see a forty one year old man looking back at him. A wrinkles-less forty one year old man who had shoulder-length brown graying hair, white skinned, taller than the average old man and gray eyes.

Instead, looking back at him was a younger version of himself. Same height-maybe a centimeter short, but who's counting?- same color skinned-maybe a bit darker-, same brown color hair-except it didn't have any grays in it and was a lot shorter than it was the day earlier- same blue eyes… hold up a moment. He doesn't have blue eyes…

"Oh shit!"

Looking back at him wasn't him…It was Jolinar.

Well, you can maybe predict what was going through that head of his, but you can expect the same question that maybe you're asking…

"What the hell happened!"

Ausar just stood there, frozen in shock, when then it hit him what was occurring.

Oh crap.

Ausar opened the door and quickly went to Jolinar's room. Just as he suspected, where Jolinar would've been sleeping, the bed was empty. Then that would mean…

"Oh boy."

He walked towards his room and opened the door. Now he knows why it seemed that the hallway was shorter. He came out of Jolinar's room, which was the closest to the bathroom.

He peered into the room and saw what confirmed his suspicions.

Right there in his bed was him sleeping.

Ohcrap!Ohcrap!Ohcrap!Ohcrap!Ohcrap!Ohcrap! These colorful thoughts going through his head. For a moment, he started panicking, for a moment thinking that this was a dream.

"Jolinar." Ausar hissed. "Jolinar. Wake up."

Jolinar -or Ausar if you will- just mumbled and turned to his left, away from the voice trying to wake him up.

"Jolinar." Ausar went ahead to shake Jolinar but thought about it quickly. He took the blanket and covered Jolinar completely so he won't see anything.

Well how would you act if you woke up and were ready to grumble at your father for waking you up and suddenly notice that it was you waking you up?

Quite a predicament neh?

Ausar began tapping Jolinar. "Jolinar. Wake up." After a few taps he began shaking Jolinar. "Jolinar wake up." He said louder.

Wow. It was so weird trying to wake up his son when he was literately waking himself up.

"Jolinar!" Ausar shook his head despairingly. Apparently since they've come here, Jolinar has gone from a light sleeper to a heavy sleeper.

After a few more shakes and taps, Jolinar finally began to wake up.

Jolinar just let out a yawn from underneath the blankets before he noticed the he was covered by the blankets. He started to take the covers away but Ausar held them on to him.

"Dad?" Jolinar asked in his father's voice. There was a pause. "Wha-" At that moment he found something different in his voice.

"Jolinar. Before you get out of that bed, promise that you won't freak out."

Jolinar didn't say anything at first. "Promise."

"Please don't attack, yell, scream, or throw a spell at me when you see me." Jolinar just shook his head.

Ausar slowly removed the blanket off of Jolinar and braced himself for Jolinar's reaction.

Jolinar just looked at Ausar's direction and just blinked. Then he turned to look at the wall across from him where there was a mirror that can clearly show Jolinar and Ausar. He turned back to Ausar and then the wall.

Ausar.

Wall.

Ausar.

Wall.

Ausar.

Wall.

"Oh boy." was Jolinar's only response.

"Well, I was expecting a 'oh crap' but that works." Ausar said jokingly.

"What on earth happened?" Jolinar asked.

"See now, I was expecting you to know, since you read almost all of the spell books that I owned."

Jolinar got up from the bed and went to the mirror, looking at his reflection with disbelief. He looked at Ausar. "What- how did this happen?"

Ausar just shrugged. "Search me. Or better yet, search you."

Jolinar rolled his now-silver-gray eyes. "That had to be the worst joke I have ever heard."

"Hey, I tried."

"Yeah, well keep trying." Jolinar looked at his hands, opening and closing them. He looked at the mirror again and shook his head. "I am not going to school like this. I look-- I am an old man."

"Hey!" Ausar said, offended "Forty one years old is not old!"

"Says the one that is now in my body!" Jolinar looked at Ausar. "I got old and you got young. I'm in my old man's body and I went from seventeen years old, to forty one. How weird can it get?"

"Very." Ausar answered. "You could've gone into Enki's body instead of mine."

"Enki! Did something happen to Enki?"

"I don't know."

The two of the left Ausar's room and went downstairs where Enki was sleeping. Jolinar and Ausar looked at Enki worryingly. Nothing looked unusual. Nothing was missing and Enki was still Enki. But just to make sure…

"Enki." Jolinar shook Enki awake. Fortunately for Jolinar, Enki was still a light sleeper. At the first shake Enki jerked up quickly and stood up in a pouncing crouch, thinking that there was an attack and was ready to fight.

"Wait! Stop Enki! Nothing bad is happening." Jolinar said gently.

Enki looked at Ausar-who was actually Jolinar- and sniffed him suspiciously.

"Enki stop." Jolinar said when Enki began sniffing him. Enki stopped sniffing him and then went to Jolinar-Who was actually Ausar- and began sniffing him as well.

"He must know that something is wrong." Ausar commented. Enki looked from Ausar to Jolinar to Ausar and Jolinar again. He whined, clearly confused on what was happening.

"It's alright Enki." Enki looked up and saw Ausar's gray eyes look at him honestly. Enki whined again, clearly not believing Ausar.

"Enki." Jolinar knelt down and looked at Enki with his blue eyes. "You must believe us. I'm-" Jolinar pointed to himself. "I'm Ausar." Enki looked at Jolinar's blue eyes. He was trying to see any hint that he was lying. When he didn't see any hints of lying in Jolinar's blue eyes, he sat down and looked at Ausar who was looking at him with his gray eyes.

"I'm Jolinar." Ausar said. His gray eyes honest.

Enki just closed his eyes and opened them again. He stood up and barked, saying that he understood them.

"The last thing we need is a confused dog." Jolinar commented. (From now on, when I mention 'Jolinar' It's Jolinar speaking but in Ausar's body. When I mention 'Ausar' it's Ausar speaking but in Jolinar's body. Just wanted to make that clear and cause no confusion. And if I made anybody confused, I'm sorry!)

Jolinar went to the couch and sighed. "Do you have any idea how this happened?"

Ausar began walking in circles around the living room, thinking of what may have caused this.

"Was there anything that we ate?" Jolinar asked.

Ausar knew that couldn't have been it. If there was a magical substance in their food, he would've spotted it with The Sight. The Sight is a rare gift that goes to random people. The sight allowed those few mages to see magic very clearly. It allowed them to see the magic work through. While people -and mages alike- couldn't see magic, the people with The Sight can. It's how Ausar was able to see the magic of the millennium puzzle.

"What else could it have been?" he thought. You'd think that he should be panicking, hallucinating, thinking that this was a dream, that this couldn't be real. But no. Many stranger things has happened to him during his lifetime to know that this was real.

He and Jolinar weren't hit buy darts. And most certainly, this was not caused by these mageless humans. Their 'technology' isn't capable of switching bodies. So what could it have been!

"This is so frustrating!" Ausar hit the wall next to him with his left fist.

That was a bad action.

Ausar yelped as the shock vibrations from hitting the wall went through his arm and into his-or Jolinar's- wound.

"Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow." That wound was seriously hurting him with the throbbing.

Damn that stupid shadow that attacked us! Damn that bastard Aron! Damn! Damn! Damn! And damn that knife-- wait a minute…

The knife.

"Of course! The knife!" Ausar exclaimed. Jolinar looked at Ausar questionably.

"The knife! The knife may have caused this. I started to have a headache when we came home after the shadow attacked us. Did you?"

Jolinar nodded. "There's a good possibility that the knife is responsible for this." Jolinar groaned and rubbed his eyes.

Ausar looked at Jolinar concerned. How weird it was to be worried about his son when his son was him.

"I'm ok." Jolinar said. "It's just all this light all over the house."

"Light?"

"The house is practically glowing. Haven't you noticed it?"

Ausar blinked and then brightened. Oh! So that was all. "Don't worry. It's just all the protective spells that I've put around the house."

"Yeah. Well these proactive spells are not protecting my eyes." Jolinar stopped rubbing his eyes and blinked. "Is this what you always see?"

"I see this every day. And since I've adjusted the sight to a tolerable view, I've had worse."

Jolinar looked at Ausar surprisingly "You mean this isn't the brightest that these spells are?"

"Pfft! Are you kidding? The lights radiating from the spells are a lot powerful than they are right now. Don't worry-" Ausar saw Jolinar rub his eyes again. "You'll get used to it."

"Gods, I hope so." Jolinar went back to the topic, "Did we bring the knife with us?"

"Yeah. It's right here." Ausar went to a cabinet and tried to open it…tried. He pulled and pulled but the drawer wouldn't open. "I forgot. Jolinar, come over and open this drawer. Only to my touch this drawer will open."

Jolinar hesitated when he reached the drawer, his eyes squinting. He turned his head away from the drawer and opened it.

Ausar took out the knife which was wrapped around with cloths. He unwrapped it and examined it much closer than yesterday. "Jolinar, I need you to do me a favor."

"Does it involve the sight?" Jolinar whined.

"Unfortunately, yes." Jolinar groaned, "Aw come on. It's really quick. I need you-- now come over here! It won't bite." Jolinar walked towards Ausar grumpily. "I need you to concentrate and enter my power. Remember that wooden sword of mine?" Jolinar nodded, "Imagine that and you'll go to my power. Once there, you'll see a separated power of mine. I need you to take a little bit of that power and look at the knife. You got that?" Jolinar nodded. "Good. Now do what I said."

"Do I have to?" Jolinar whined. That was so unlike him.

"Jolinar do as I say. Now." Ausar said sternly.

Jolinar heard the authority in his voice and quickly obeyed.

Slowly, Jolinar felt himself enter his father's power source when he already closed his eyes. He imagined the wooden sword and immediately, it glowed with immense power. Jolinar mentally yelped when he saw the intense glow of his father's power. After a second or two he got adjusted to the light of the wooden sword. Jolinar looked at the power in amazement. He knew that his father was a great mage but this…this was power. He didn't expect this power in his father's spirit. It was so immense. There was enough magic in here to destroy and empire and still have enough energy to destroy a village. He thought when he heard the stories about his father's power were exaggerated. Now he wasn't so sure.

Jolinar would've stayed there and look in amazement at the power if he didn't see the ball of light that was separated from the sword. Immediately he remembered what he was to do. He drew up a small string from the light, a very small string -his father said to take out a little bit- and opened his eyes. He looked at the knife and yelped, nearly losing the string of light he held. His eyes seared with pain from the intense light that the knife emitted.

Jolinar stepped back. He needed to get away! This power emitting from the knife should not exist. He felt the power of the knife draw towards him. Run! He had to run! He-

"Jolinar! Jolinar! Jolinar stop!" Ausar held Jolinar when he saw him start to panic. He knew that this was going to happen but not this quick. "Jolinar. Listen to me! Jolinar ignore the dark magic. Concentrate on the- Blue Eyes, listen to me!" Ausar called Jolinar by the nickname that he gave him. Jolinar looked at Ausar fearfully. "Blue Eyes, I know that you can hear me. Ignore the dark magic. Concentrate on the inscription."

Jolinar shook his head. Ausar sighed. Jolinar was too young to control The Sight. Too young to know how to ignore dark magic. He was about to take away the knife when Jolinar tugged his arm. Ausar looked at him and saw that he was shivering.

"Paper." Jolinar whispered.

Ausar quickly went off and found paper and a pen. It seemed that Jolinar was doing what he was saying. He gave the pen and paper to Jolinar and Jolinar quickly wrote on it. He gave the paper to Ausar and whispered,

"Can I let go of the power now?"

"Yes."

Jolinar sighed in relief and closed his eyes. He breathed slowly in and out. A few moments passed before he stopped shivering and opened his eyes. His gray eyes were filled with fear and despair. Ausar looked at him with pity. It was one of the consequence of having The Sight. If you saw dark magic, you would be controlled with fear and despair.

"Are you ok?"

Jolinar nodded, "I'm fine." He sat down on the couch and covered his face. "That stung."

"Yeah…I know."

"And you have to deal with this every day?"

"Not every day. Just so often."

Jolinar sighed and uncovered his face. "Do you know what that means?" He pointed at the paper that he wrote on. Ausar looked at the writings, but no. He didn't know what they meant. He just shook his head.

Jolinar sighed, "We'll have to research what they mean."

Ausar kicked the floor, "I hate doing research. It's so frustrating."

"Fine then." Jolinar stood up, " I'll go check out what they mean while you go to school."

Ausar nodded and then stopped. "School?"

Jolinar grinned with mischief, "Of course. You said that I should begin school with a good start, so now you will have to take my place at school."

Ausar scoffed, "I am not going to school." He crossed his arms.

"But you have to." Jolinar said reasonably, "If you don't you'll be disturbing my researching. "

"I will not!"

"Well it's either this or you go to do research, which you hate if I may add."

Ausar thought about it for a moment. He was trapped. He thought of the pros and cons, weighing them out. He humped. "Fine! I'll go to school." he said grumpily.

He makes me look like a little child like that! Jolinar thought when he saw Ausar humph.

Ausar turned and left, going to get Joinar's things that he's suppose to take. He hated school! But then again, he hated researching even more.

H reached Jolinar rooms and found the uniform that he would have to wear. Oh what a nightmare…uniforms. He looked down shook his head, there is no way that he was going to change. He needs a shortcut.

He snapped his fingers and instantly, his clothes changed from shorts and a t-shirt to a blue uniform. He took a comb from the desk next to him and neaten his hair. He looked at the mirror and saw what the others in the village told him and Jolinar many times: Jolinar looked like the spitting image of his father when his father was young.

He sighed and put down the comb down. He grabbed the backpack and left the room. If Apolla were alive, how many times a day would she have mentioned that fact? He reached the living room and saw Jolinar already flipping through books that they bought from home. He wondered, if this whole mess didn't happen sixteen years ago, would they still be in this predicament? No. They probably wouldn't.

Jolinar heard Ausar come down the stairs and looked up at him. He closed the book and looked at him for a few seconds. Suddenly he grinned and laughed.

"You're going to school Ausar Marduk! How do you feel?"

"Tormented." That was all that he could say.

Jolinar laughed again, "Now you know how I feel then. A couple of things: one, here's my schedule." he handed Ausar a piece of paper, "Those are the names of the teachers, subjects and room numbers." he pointed everything out, "I sit at the back of all the classes except one and that's during homeroom, that's the first one on the list. Second, I sit next to four people, Yugi, Joey, Tristan and Tea at the rest of the classes. Third, if you feel tempted to hit Tea because of her friendship speeches, please refrain yourself. Fourth, you might meet him but I'm not sure. There's another kid called Mokuba."

"Mokuba?"

0000000OOOOOOOOOooooo

"Hurry Ausar! Aron has found us!" Ausar looked back. There, surrounded by panicking people was Asani, already twenty years old. He looked around and saw that the forest that his village was hiding in was in fire.

"Where's Mokuba?" Ausar looked down and saw a little child holding his hand. The child was only about six, seven years. The child looked around and looked up at Ausar. His blue eyes confused and his face and brown hair covered with ash that was coming down at them.

"Mokuba?" Ausar questioned. Who was this Mokuba?

"My little brother. Where is he?"

"Jolinar we must leave-"

The child looked at him weirdly, "Who's Jolinar? I'm Seto."

00000000OOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooo

" Yeah, funny name eh? Like I said, I'm not sure if you'll meet him but if you do remember that he is called Mokuba? You got that?"

"Huh?" Ausar snapped out of that memory, "Um…Yeah. Strange name. Is that all?"

"Yup. Think you can survive?"

"Of course! I guess I'll be going now."

Jolinar opened the book again and started flipping through the pages again. "Bye."

"Bye."

Enki barked a good bye. Strangely enough, he had a spell book in front of him, flipping through the pages as if he understood what the writings meant. Weird. Ausar began to suspicious when he remembered that he was late and left.

Let's see now. I should take a left and a right and then two lefts and go straight to get to the school. I think I got it.

He took those and directions and miraculously, he managed to reach the school. It was a miracle! He would've celebrated if it weren't for Joey.

"Hey Jolinar! How's it going man?" Joey slapped his shoulder.

"Everything's going…just absolutely normal." he said with a dry humor.

"Are you sure?" Joey asked, "You look a bit pale."

"Yeah, I-uh…woke up late."

"Didn't your old man wake you up?"

"He slept in."

Joey laughed, "Had a hangover did he?"

"Hangover?" Ausar didn't know this word.

"Yeah. Did he got drunk?"

"Drunk?" Ausar didn't know this word either. There words drunk and hangover were not familiar to his village and to him.

Joey looked at him strangely. He would've said something but was stopped when he heard Yugi yell his name.

"Joey!"

Joey looked up ahead and there was the rest of the gang.

"Hey! There's Tea, Tristan and Star-Head!" Ausar commented.

Joey laughed, "Hee Hee! Star-Head."

The two of them reached the others and said their hello's.

"We were worried that you were going to be late…again." Tea commented as they walked to school.

"Hey, give me some credit, I'm not late at the moment see?"

"He's right you know." Ausar muttered. "He's definitely not late."

"Hey Jolinar." Tristan said, "You look a bit pale. Did you-"

"I slept and woke up late." Ausar interrupted. He was tempted to ask what was a hangover since Joey thought that he had one.

"Didn't your dad wake you up?"

"No. And no, he didn't have a hangover."

That was all Ausar said when they reached the school. He took out the paper that Jolinar gave him and looked at it confusingly. Oh how complicated this school was. All these letters and numbers. It's a good thing that he understands all this! He looked at the first thing on the list which was 'homeroom', and it was in…room 524523. Wow. Look at all those numbers. Ausar shook his head. Ridiculous.

He reached the room, -he had to ask directions first though- and sat at the front row where there was an empty seat. He supposed that that was where Jolinar sat at. He looked around the room, it was quite small, and the students were loud.

He twiddled his thumbs, he bit his lip, he tapped on the desk, he hit the desk, he clicked his tongue but truth be told, he was bored. Five minutes into the school and he was already bored and tormented. He took out a book that Jolinar gave him in case he was bored. It was Demon in my View. Kind of interesting really. But then again, he was bored and he would find anything interesting.

At last, the teacher came and the class quieted down. The teacher talked in a bored voice and walked slowly, as if she didn't want to walk anymore.

She's probably thinking 'I hate my job' Ausar mused.

It was quite true.

"Stay in your seats and be quiet until the bell rings and you can go to your next classes." The teacher took out a magazine and began reading it. The class, of course, didn't pay attention and started to get loud again.

Oh this was torture for Ausar. At least the school that he went to had to do with fighting and he was never bored. Of course, he had gotten bruises, scars, broken ribs, arteries, had lost a lot of blood,

Nearly been mutilated.

Been stabbed.

Been in pain for weeks.

Been targeted for spells.

Been a target for arrows -although everyone was a target for arrows mind you.-

Been nearly starving in those 'field trips'

Been nearly killed too.

Ahh yeah. Where did all the good days go?

Never mind.

He preferred this.

He looked at Jolinar's friends. Joey, Tristan, Tea and Yugi were all talking. Why did Jolinar trust them? They were nice he'll give them that. But Jolinar barely disobeys his orders and he disobeyed this one. Jolinar listened to what he said about not trusting anyone, yet he clearly is going in friendly terms with them.

Ausar turned around and sighed. He wasn't so sure now that they were safe from Aron anymore. Yesterday has been proof on that. Wasn't there any place that they would be safe from Aron? Ausar was beginning to doubt that.

If it were just him, just him and no one else, he would've stayed back home and brace himself for Aron's fury. He would've fought off Aron without thinking twice.

But no. He wasn't alone now.

Before Jolinar came back to his life, he recklessly went after Aron. Trying to find his location and has been trying to finish him off. He didn't care if Aron found him. He wanted Aron to find him so he could kill him. Wanted his spies to find him and attack him, and once they've think they've got him Ausar would've looked into their memory and find clues of Aron's location. There was nobody's lives that were in danger with him. Nobody went with him in his quest except Enki. Enki was a tough dog. A loyal one as well. He wanted revenge on Aron as well for taking away Ausar's family. Ausar's family was his family as well.

But now…Now that he's found Jolinar after all these years, he's been careful. Instead of trying to find Aron, instead of wanting Aron to find him, he's been hiding from him.

His life wasn't the only one in danger. It was his son's as well.

His son.

After all these years thinking that he was dead, he's come back. Ausar's been given a hope and second chance to be with someone in his family. He was no longer alone. He felt somewhat complete. Something was missing…

Apolla.

Enlil.

Ausar felt that sinking feeling inside him. That sinking hope and rising despair of never finding his wife and brother again.

Ausar sighed and brushed those thoughts away. He shouldn't be selfish. He may have lost his family but Jolinar lost something even more precious.

His memory.

What could've Ausar missed in Jolinar's life? What laughter and sadness has he missed?

Being a parent sucked.

Ausar would've kept on musing but then the bell rang. Ausar sighed and got up. Just six more hours to go. Six tormenting hours.

Can he survive?

00000000OOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooo

Jolinar groaned and rubbed his eyes.

His eyes were killing him!

All this light around the house! What was his father thinking!

Yeah, his father was thinking 'Protection spells' but didn't he stop and think what would happen if all this light caused him to go blind?

He closed the book with a thump, the noise startling Enki. Enki looked up and barked in a questionable as if asking 'What's wrong?'

Jolinar groaned and blinked. His father was getting old. He needed glasses. He was practically putting the book up to his nose in order to read them.

"I wonder how Ausar is doing?"

0000000000000000OOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooo

Ausar looked at all the numbers in front of him. He was completely lost.

I have no idea how to do this stuff.

He squinted at the paper, moving it this way and that way as if the answer will pop up in front of him.

Yugi looked at him strangely. "Er…is something wrong Jolinar? You keep on moving that paper."

"Hmm?" Ausar wasn't listening, "What's that Star-head?"

Yugi sweat dropped. Star-head? Yami just laughed when he heard that.

/Ha ha! Star-head/

/Knock it off! You look like me so you look like a star-head as well/

That stopped Yami's laughter.

"Do you need help?"

Ausar shook his head. "No. I don't need any help."

Yes I do! Yes I do! His conscience yelled. I desperately need help!

But I need my dignity! Ausar said to himself. I can figure this out.

…I hope.

00000000000OOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooo

"Argh!" Jolinar was getting frustrated. After checking out all these books Jolinar still couldn't find out what the inscription on the knife means or how to reverse it.

No wonder Ausar didn't want to do this.

Jolinar winced. By now he had math and Ausar had no idea how to do math. When they switch back, Jolinar will most definitely teach Ausar how to do math. Just in case this happens again.

Jolinar raked his brown-gray hair. What was Aron planning with this? He remembered Ausar telling him that Aron wanted the shadow to strike him with the knife. But just to switch bodies? What good would that do?

He looked at the clock and checked the time. By now he had gym. Poor, poor defenseless students.

He hoped that the students will survive.

00000000OOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooo

"Strike one!"

"Strike Two!"

"Strike three you're out!"

The team booed when the teacher called out strike.

"How unfair can you be!"

"The pitcher was cheating!"

"Give us another chance!"

"Sorry guys." Tea said when she came back to her team.

"Aah, it's ok Tea." Tristan reassured her. "The other team's cheating that's all."

"Jolinar! You're next!" The teacher called out.

Ausar came into the field hesitantly when they gave him the bat. What was he suppose to do?

Am I suppose to hit someone with it? Or should I do what friendship girl- I mean Tea did?

"What am I suppose to do?" He asked the teacher.

The teacher looked at him disbelievingly, "Are you serious?"

"Yes."

"Jesus boy, where have you been?"

"Forest Village. Why?"

The teacher looked at him strangely before shaking his head and regaining his composure. "All you have to do is smack the ball as it comes your way and if you hit it, you have to run around those white tiles- see them? Good.- and come back here. You got that?" Ausar nodded. "Good. Play Ball!"

Ausar got on the white tile and held the bat, ready to hit the coming ball.

The pitcher in front of him made strange gestures with his hands and at the corner of Ausar's eye, saw that the crouching guy was shacking or nodding his head. The pitcher threw his hand back, an evil grin on his face, and threw the ball.

That ball was coming right to head!

Ausar quickly dodged the ball, hearing the ball hit the guy's glove behind him.

"Strike one!"

"Aw come one! Don't tell me you didn't see that ball was coming to his head!"

"That was foul!"

"Didn't you see him grin!"

"Boo! Unfair!"

The teacher just shook his head. "Ready!"

Ausar went back to the mat, a faint smile on his face. So he wants to play beyond the rules eh? He can deal with that.

The pitcher again made those strange gestures and the guy behind him nodded. He grinned evilly again and threw the ball at Ausar.

This time Ausar was ready. He saw the ball coming at his body again ready to inflict damage, and moved a bit to the left and hit the ball!

Wham!

Into the pitcher's face.

He heard people gasp and groaned when they saw and heard the ball hit the evil- I mean poor pitcher. They groaned again when they saw his bloody face.

"Foul!" someone yelled from the pitcher's team.

"That was illegal!"

"Yeah!"

"Kick him out of the field!"

"Strike two!"

"That is completely unfair!" Ausar's team yelled.

"Strike two." The teacher yelled again, "We need another pitcher."

A massive boy from the other team walked to the pitcher's place and took the ball, bouncing it in his hand.

"We're gonna lose." Joey moaned.

The rest of the team nodded.

Ausar looked at the massive boy surprisingly. The boy kept on bouncing the ball, looking at Ausar menacingly. Ausar readied himself on the mat. This is going to be easy.

"Ready!" The teacher yelled.

Ausar and the boy nodded.

The boy made those strange gestures that the other boy did and the guy behind him nodded. The boy took a step back, his arm ready to throw the ball. The boy grinned evilly and the threw the ball with all his strength, too fast for anybody to see.

Ausar smirked when he saw the ball come towards him. Instantly, he swung the bat quickly and smirked with satisfaction when he heard of the crack of the ball meeting the mat. He heard his teammates gasp when they saw the ball flying. Ausar put a hand over his eyes to watch the ball go.

"RUN JOLINAR! RUN!" his teammates yelled.

"Oh." Ausar let go of the bat and began running towards the white mats that the teacher mentioned. The people at the mats looked at the running Jolinar with shockness. They have never seen anyone run that fast.

Having long legs has it's advantages. That and having to have run a lot back home.

In a couple of seconds, Ausar reached home base, his teammates clapping. Not only now they were in the lead, but Ausar hit the other pitcher! Oh how long have they've been wanting for that to happen.

"That was so awesome!" Joey yelled.

"Yeah do you know how long we've been waiting for that bastard to be 'accidentally' hit? All eternity!" Tristan said when Ausar got back.

Some of his teammates slapped his back in approval. Others yelled their 'awesome!', while the other team waved their hands saying 'it was a lucky shot.'

Ausar sat at the bench, watching the next one get the bat.

How long has it been that I've run because I was having fun and not because I was in danger? A long time.

"Strike one!"

"Strike two!"

Ausar saw the massive boy throw the ball hard. Ausar noticed that if anyone got hit with that incoming ball, they would get seriously hurt.

"Strike three!"

"Aw come on now!"

"How can you be so blind!"

"They're cheating!"

Ausar, without knowing it, got into the protest.

"They're just sore losers." Someone from the other team yelled.

Sore losers eh? We'll see who're the sore loser after this.

00000000OOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooo

"Did you see that! The ball went flying!"

"Yeah! Did you see that ball slipping from their fingers?"

"That was so weird."

"The ball's possessed!"

"I don't care if it's possessed. We won!…For the first time!"

"Hallelujah!"

Ausar reached his next class and sat down quickly. H e heard the comments of his classmates. They were all wondering what happened out there. After the massive boy was knocked out by Ausar on his next turn on the mat, every one that went on the mat was able to hit the ball without any strikes and everyone on the opposite team lost the ball, it slipped from their fingers and couldn't hit the ball.

"Maybe the ball is possessed." Tea commented.

"Maybe." Ausar said. But he knew it wasn't true. His team just got a little bit off …help…from him. Just a little bit of magic and the ball is 'possessed'.

Ok! Ok! He cheated. So what! The other team cheated too. They were even.

0000000000OOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooo

Jolinar flipped the pages of the book in front of him. He already looked through five books and still no answer! He scratched his head and looked at Enki.

Enki had a paw on a page. His paw moving left and right as if he were reading the book.

Jolinar sighed, "You can stop pretending now Enki. You're not really reading." He went to Enki and snatched the book. Enki barked, annoyed that he had a book snatched away from him. He went Jolinar and opened his mouth, ready to snatch the book away but stopped. He would ruin the book if he did.

Jolinar looked down at him thoughtfully. "Can you do me a favor?" Enki straightened. Of course he can! "Go to this store at the corner of five streets south-" he took out a piece of paper from his pocket, "-and give this to the shop owner. He knows what it's about. Do you got that?" Enki nodded and barked. "Good." he put the paper under Enki's collar and patted him. "Now off you go. I need to keep on researching."

Enki turned and left, using the door that was easy for him to open and close. He went down the stairs and walked down the sidewalk, looking for the store that was located five blocks south. He reached the corner of five streets down and drooled. He sniffed, smelling a wonderful, delicious scent. He noticed that it was coming from the store that Jolinar wanted him to go.

He licked his chops. That smell was making his stomach growl. He looked at the door handle and saw that it was going to be difficult for him to open it. He resorted to barking, trying to get someone's attention inside. He barked and barked until a little girl of five opened the door for him.

"Doggy!" The girl yelled happily. The mother looked back her daughter and gasped when she saw the gigantic dog near her daughter.

"Sarah come back!" she grabbed her daughter's hand and pulled her away from the dog. The other customers inside turned at the commotion and looked at the gigantic dog surprisingly.

"Doggy!" The child, Sarah, said again, her arms stretching towards him.

Enki who has been around children knew that Sarah wanted to pet him. He put his head down and went to little Sarah. Her mother gasped, taking a step back when she saw the dog come near her daughter. Enki crouched to Sarah's level.

"Big doggy." Sarah patted Enki's head. Enki licked Sarah's cheek gently and bowed his head again when he heard Sarah giggle. Her mother looked at Enki fearfully, she never seen a big dog. Her fear started to go away when she saw Sarah giggle. She looked at Enki again and her fear disappeared. She smiled and also petted Enki.

"You're not too bad. Do you have a collar-whoa!" Enki got up to his full height and went to the counter. There was a bell and Enki poked it.

The shop owner came to the counter, ready to salute his customer. "Hello! How may I serve you to-mama mia!" The shop owner looked at Enki shockingly. He looked around, searching for Enki's owner. "No dogs allowed! Who let this dog in!"

"Doggy!" Sarah said again.

The shop owner looked at Sarah's mother. "Is this yours?"

"No. He's not mine. I'm sorry. My daughter let the dog in and-"

Enki interrupted by barking loudly. He looked at the shop owner and turned his neck, so he can see the paper clearly. He barked again, indicating that he should get it.

The shop owner understood and took the piece of paper. He unfolded it and read. He mumbled as he read the paper. "Oh yeah." He muttered. He looked at Enki, "So you belong to Jolinar! Nice fellow he is!" he turned and left the counter going to do whatever Jolinar asked of him.

Enki looked around. The shop was big. Had some refrigerators in it, with some rectangular and circular stuff in them. He sniffed the air again and smelled that that delicious smell was coming from behind the counter and from those fridges. He went to the fridges and sniffed again. Yup. Some of that smell was coming from in there. He was practically drooling.

Sarah saw Enki sniffing the fridges. "Want some cake doggy?"

Enki looked at her and barked happily.

Sarah tugged her mother's arm. "The doggy wants some cake mommy."

"He does, does he?" Her mother rang the bell on the counter and the shop owner came back. "Can you give me a piece of-what cake does the dog want?"

Enki understood and barked at Sarah, trying to tell her that she can choose. Sarah looked at all the cakes, "How about…that one!" She pointed to a vanilla cake.

"Can you give me a piece of that?" The shop owner nodded and cut up a piece of the cake. He gave it to the mother and the mother gave it to Enki. Enki took a bite from the cake. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another until the whole piece was gone.

Sarah giggled when Enki licked her a thanks and pointed his nose the door. Sarah understood and opened the door for Enki and waved good-bye as Enki walked in the sidewalk. "Bye Bye Doggy!" Enki barked two times and ran towards home.

00000000OOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooo

"Let's see. I've had math, Gym, language arts and lunch. All is left is chemistry. Hmm. I wonder what's that."

0000000OOOOOOOOOooooooooo

Booom!

"Ew." Ausar said as the whole green glob exploded in front of him.

"Eeewww." the whole class said.

"Jolinar if you would like to go to the bathroom…?"

Ausar nodded and left the room, disgusted at what that liquidy stuff can do.

Note to self: beware of liquidy green stuff.

Ausar couldn't believe that Jolinar had to endure this nightmare. Is this even allowed?

He entered the bathroom and started cleaning his face and attempted to clean his clothes, but the stain remained. It was a good thing that this was his last class.

0000000000OOOOOOOooooooooooooooo

Jolinar resisted the urge to throw the books at the wall.

This was so frustrating! Who knew that it would take this long just to reverse this problem? Not Jolinar. He thought that this would be a piece of cake…how wrong he was.

He heard the door open and looked up. Enki came in, looking proud and messy. "Did you give the paper like I asked?" Enki barked. "Thanks…did you eat something?" Enki looked at him confusingly. Jolinar just rubbed his nose, indicating that Enki had something in his face. Enki licked his nose and tasted the leftover cake. He nodded, answering Jolinar's question. "Here. Let me wipe that off." Jolinar grabbed a napkin and started wiping Enki's snout.

Enki barked again once he was clean. He heard footsteps coming up the stairs outside. A moment later, the door opened and Ausar came in. Jolinar looked up again and saw the stain at his uniform. He raised an eyebrow, "What happened to you?"

"Chemistry class." Was all that Ausar said.

"Aah. So…" Jolinar sat back on the couch, "How was your first day of school?" he asked with a smirk. He already knew the answer.

"Tormenting." Ausar said grumpily. Then he brightened, "Although gym was fun."

Jolinar shook his head. He was expecting that answer.

"So how was your day?" Ausar put down his backpack.

It was Jolinar's turn to be grumpy. "Frustrating."

Ausar laughed loudly. "Really?" He kept on laughing.

"Oh do be quiet." Jolinar threw a pillow at Ausar. Ausar dodged it and still laughed.

"Keep on laughing. Tomorrow you're going to school again." That shut Ausar up.

"Didn't you find the reversal spell?"

"Nope."

"No! I don't want to school again!" Ausar whined.

"Please stop whining." Jolinar said. "You make me look like a child."

Ausar just stuck out his tongue, making him look more childish. Jolinar threw another pillow at him, this time he managed to hit him.

"Ow."

"You completely deserved it."

0000000000OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooo

Poor Jolinar and Ausar.

And poor Ausar. Had to go to school.

One more thing: There's going to be a prequel to this. A story about what happened to Jolinar and Ausar before they came to Domino City. Won't that be fun! But you'll have to wait till this is over ok? Please be patient and you shall be rewarded. Maybe.

Wow! Nineteen pages! The longest I've ever made! Sorry if this chapter came out weird. It's just that I wanted to get this done by Christmas for you guys.

So I hope you enjoyed it and Merry Christmas…

D.W.O.A.F.B and Enlil: And a Happy New Year!
