I felt like writing, so wrote... anyway here's chapter 2

I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's

"Semésa was a beautiful, kind-hearted goddess. She was kind to everyone and always wanted to make people happy, unfortunately, one day some evil force came over and cursed her, her entire being became but an aura and she was left stranded on Earth, in this form she was very vulnerable and knew that if anyone with evil intentions were to gain her power then that would be extremely bad for the people of Earth. Luckily for her, though she soon found some good people who were willing to help her, they guided her to a safe haven where they decided to set up camp and stay by her side so that nothing could happen to her. Semésa was so grateful to the people that she granted them some of her powers; she knew that she couldn't use them in her current form so she let her helpers have them so that they could protect her. Somehow the good people managed to get others to help protect her and they got more people to help, soon Semésa's protectors decided to build a village so that they could all have homes, they named it Dakatoa. The Aura of Semésa was then hidden in a church that her protectors had built especially for her and a High Priest was appointed to help around the church.

Eventually, the job of protecting Semésa's Aura became hereditary and the protectors began to call themselves, Kii'Shen and the people in the village of Dakatoa were proud of their accomplishment, they even began to let normal humans live in the village. And every day the villagers would go down to the church and pray that Semésa would become herself again and they would also thank her for allowing them to live such a wonderful life."

"Hate to interrupt" Rua piped up, "But what does this Sema…

"Semésa."

"Yeah and that Dakatoa village have to do with you?"

Ruka sighed, "It's called a back story Rua! None of this would make sense if we weren't told about the goddess and the village and those Kii'Shen people."

"Oh…So where do you fit in this story, Yusei?"

Yusei gave a small smile at Rua's impatience, just how was Ruka able to put up with him? "I was just getting to that part, my parents were both Kii'Shen , which meant that the responsibility of protecting Semésa was passed on to me. We all know what happened when I was a baby…" Yusei took a moment to look to the side, "But after that I didn't go straight to the orphanage like Jack and Crow, I went back to Dakatoa, where I was looked after by my Grandma."

Aki, Rua and Ruka sat in silence slightly shocked by the new information they were learning about their leader. Rua, it seemed, was having trouble keeping his laughter in. He was receiving odd looks from everyone.

"What's so funny Rua?" Yusei asked with a quizzical expression plastered on his face.

"You lived with your Grandma." The little boy chuckled.

Ruka sighed and face-palmed at her brothers immaturity, "What is so funny about that Rua?" She asked exasperatedly.

"I don't know…it's just, it sounds funny."

"I never knew Grandma's were that funny Rua…" Crow said.

"I never said Grandma's were funny, just being raised by them."

"Really Rua…?" Ruka sighed. She was beginning to wonder how she ended up with such a moron as her brother.

"Can I carry on with the story now? Or are we going to keep poking fun at old people?" Yusei asked rhetorically prompting Rua to cease the giggles. "My grandma was a nice woman; she ran a local bakery in in the village called Yana's goods." Yusei stared off in the distance for a second and smiled, as if reminiscing old memories, "I used to help her out sometimes after church and during the times I wasn't studying, she even let me try some of the things she baked before she put them on display. She was also an extremely sociable woman, she knew nearly everyone in the village and she gave them all discounts.

Life in Dakatoa was always fun, there was always somewhere to go and explore, that was how I met some of my old friends."

It was a bright morning in Dakatoa, all the birds were singing their songs and there was a light gentle breeze, the sounds of excited chatter could be heard as everyone in the village was walking through the village centre to get to church. There were lots of questions being tossed around as to what the High Priest was going to be talking about today, it was always exciting hearing the High Priest talk about his life and the things he had learned, the adults would always say that it was the High Priests life lessons that made all the young children behave so well, whether that was true or not didn't matter. To the villagers, all that really mattered was that they show their respect to Semésa.

A young five year old Yusei hopped along happily tugging on his Grandmother's hand, "Come on Grandma!" He urged with a pleading look on his face, "We're going to be late!"

"Don't run so fast, Yusei! You know I'm not as lively as you now that I'm in my old age." She gave a small smile to the young boy and ruffled his hair, "And don't worry, we're not going to be late." The five year old pouted but did as he was told, he looked around with a wide grin on his face; he loved seeing all of the people in the village looking so happy, it filled him with joy, he once again got impatient and started lightly tugging on his Grandmother's hand again, the old lady gave a light chuckle, "We're almost there Yusei." She promised.

Once they were in church everyone moved to their designated spot, the Kii'Shen sat at the front, the young children sat near the front and the older people sat further back. The church was a truly magnificent place: the windows were covered with various drawings of The Aura of Semésa, scented candles were burning all around the church filling it with the smell of marigolds, it was said that that was Semésa's scent, nobody was entirely sure if this was true, but the smell was very aromatic. At the front of the church was a stone table, the table didn't have much use apart from being something the priest could put various items on during his talks, but there were rumours that the table had another purpose, though if that were true, only the High Priest and the mayor of the village would know.

The young child paid close attention to the High Priest's lecture and took in everything he said. Church was one of his favourite moments of the day, he always enjoyed watching the High priest give his blessings to Semésa and repeat the oath of protection that the Kii'Shen stuck close too. Soon it was time for the Kii'Shen to give their blessings to the Aura. He, as well as many other Kii'Shen stood up out of his seat and walked up to the table before kneeling down and blessing The Aura of Semésa and then placing a hand over his heart whilst reciting the oath of protection. Once that was done, the Kii'Shen stood up and walked back to their seats where they watched all of the other people in the church get up and give their blessings.

Once church was over the Kii'Shen would usually stay behind with the High Priest to study, but today was their day off and Yusei was determined to have fun! He rushed out and immediately ran to the river, it had always been his favourite place to play since there were so many trees and there was always a twig or a branch that he could play with. But this day was different, as soon as he got to the river he noticed another kid who was staring at the running water. Yusei walked up to the other kid and looked at him, "Why are you here?" He asked politely.

The other child turned to the side to see the curious blue eyed boy staring at him; he gave a little smirk, "Nothin' much really… just lookin' at the water. It's calming." Yusei agreed with the other boy, water was quite calming. Suddenly something seemed to click in the boys mind and he turned to Yusei wide eyed with a big grin on his face, "You're a Kii'Shen aren't you!" The boy squealed, unable to contain his excitement, Yusei nodded. "Wow! We should be friends! It will be so cool!"

Yusei looked the boy up and down, the idea of being friends with him sounded brilliant, "Sure!" He joyfully replied, "But, what's your name?"

The young boy suddenly looked slightly embarrassed and began to laugh, "Oh, sorry! I completely forgot about that! Name's Ripsin. You?"

The blue eyed boy smiled and reached out a hand to shake, Ripsin gladly took it, "Yusei."

Ripsin's eyes widened again, "Oh! Your Yana's grandson right?" Yusei once again nodded, "This is awesome! Come on! Let's find something fun to do!"

So the two boys began to scour the area around them for something to play a game with, suddenly Yusei came across a small branch. He reached down and lifted it up before pointing it at Ripsin who soon caught on and grabbed a branch of his own. The two boys stared at each other dramatically, "So." Yusei started, "What makes thee think thou can get past me? Thou would have to be a madman to try!"

Ripsin was slightly taken aback by Yusei's impressive speech, but he soon countered with his own, "Thou can't stop me! I am unbeatable! I will beat thee to a pulp!"

"Have at thee!" The two boys then got into a massive play fight as they each took swings at each other with their 'swords' both of them laughing as they jumped around trying to 'kill' each other.

"Wot'cha doin'?" Came a young feminine voice. The two boys turned around to see a young girl in camo jeans and a baggy blue top step out from behind the trees, she smiled at the boys as she stepped up to them, "Name's Cheneg. Mind if I join in?"

Ripsin didn't seem too happy with having his and Yusei's game interrupted, but Yusei, on the other hand seemed overjoyed at the idea of having another person to play with, "My name's Yusei, it's nice to meet you."

Cheneg's smile grew wider, "Hey, you're Yana's grandson aren't you? You're a Kii'Shen right?" Yusei gave an enthusiastic nod to answer her questions. Cheneg then turned to Ripsin, "And you are?"

"Ripsin. You want to play with us?"

The young girl nodded her head, "Yeah! I'm bored and you two looked like you were having fun!"

Ripsin's face lit up, "If you can find a good branch to use as a sword we'd be more than happy to let you join in!" Cheneg jumped at the news and instantly started searching for a branch to use, Yusei and Ripsin joined in with the search until Yusei was able to find Cheneg a good branch to use. Soon enough all three kids were running around tryingto hit each other with their 'swords' as they all laughed together.

"Your friends had weird names…" Was the first thing that came out of Rua's mouth as soon as Yusei had finished.

Ruka tried to resist the urge to face palm as she groaned at her brothers silly comments, "Rua, if you don't have anything clever to say, don't say anything!"

"You sounded like a really nice child." Aki commented. Yusei flashed her a grin.

"Yeah, that's what most people used to say."

"So what happened after that?"

"We all became best friends. That's pretty much the end of that story."

"You haven't finished completely though, have you?"

"No, I've still got more to tell you. But I would like to add that Ripsin and Cheneg weren't the only friends I had, there was another person named Sonachi, he was like a big brother figure to all three of us, and to him we were like his younger siblings. We first met him in the church, he was the High Priest's apprentice and we all took an instant liking to him."

"Aw, that's cute that you had a big brother figure."

Yusei gave a solemn smile as he remembered Sonachi," I guess I should really be getting to the main point of this story, the bit where Minoru came in." Aki, Rua and Ruka leaned in closer to hear the story, "It all started out like a normal day…"

There you go! I'm probably going to update this again fairly quickly since I feel quite enthusiastic about it.

Please review, it's the kindest thing to do!
