Me: MORE DRAMA!
Rin: Oh boy
Me: The disclaimer is the same as usual.
"Rin, how did you do that?" Amba asked as Anzu stroked her daughters hair. Rin was shivering, the power burst had left her exhausted and a little sick. Akio looked at her in concern.
"Sis, how did you do that?"
Rin shook her head. "I...I don't know. I'm so confused! All these voices in my head kept chanting fire, fire, fire."
Elecktra handed the girl some tea and knelt down to her. "And that horse, it said something to you."
"It said I am fire." Rin said after she took a sip of tea. Elecktra stood up, thinking hard for a moment. Marik and Bakura were unusually quiet, not quite knowing what to say at the moment. Akio took Rin's hand, giving Rin a feeling of comfort. She thought of the horse, how it was made of fire and how it seemed to connect with her thoughts. How had it done that?
"Rin, do you think that horse was going to hurt you?" Anzu asked in concern. Rin looked at her mother, seeing a purple bruise around her neck from when Kayo was chocking her. She shook her head and looked at her cup.
"I don't think so, the horse saved my life." she continued staring at the cup, feeling lost and confused. Elecktra turned back to Anzu.
"Do you think this has something to do with Gaea?"
Anzu shrugged and looked thoughtfull at the idea. "I don't know, she did say my decendents would have powers. I just didn't think they would be this deep."
Akio looked at his mother. "The gypsie at the circus told us that we were Yin and Yang. That Rin was fire and I was water."
Anzu stared at him. "Why would she say that?"
"I don't know, but it was odd."
Elecktra turned to them, thinking that maybe she had the answer. "There is power all around. Rin and Akio are vessels, just like Anzu and I. Rin is fire and Akio is water. Two elements that are balanced."
Anzu nodded at this. "But I don't think Akio is a vessel. It was always the women in our family."
"I don't think it matters in this case." Marik spoke up after being quiet for a while. Amba looked at her father and mother, and then at her adopted cousins and aunt.
"Well, whatever they are it doesn't matter. We should focus on our enemy. Why would they attack?"
Bakura looked up. "Probably to test our abilities. They want to know if we are a threat."
Anzu sighed and looked out the window. "I just hope they won't attack again. Just what exactly are they after?"
"Damn it! Kayo is dead! They've won!" Sasori shouted, pounding his fist on the table. Gypsie frowned and put a hand on his arm, trying to calm him down.
"Relax Sasori, they've only won one round. We'll send out another next time, only stronger."
Akira looked up from Haku's shoulder. "Maybe one that is fire proof." Haku nodded and patted Akira's head, causing her to smile. Kagura looked up from her thinking, glancing at Masay as she spoke.
"We need a stronger monster. But the real question is, how are we going to get the one twin?"
At that moment, Hidenori walked in, an irritated look on his face. "The monster failed. Kayo is dead. What the hell happened?"
Sasori shrugged. "Rin summoned an elemental animal, a horse and it destroyed the creature."
Hidenori breathed through his nose and ran a hand through his hair. "We need the girl, but we'll take the boy as a last resort. What creature is more powerful than Gaketenou?"
Kagura pulled a card out from her pocket. "Kagutsuchi is a firemental. Stronger than Rin's fire, so it should take her out. Or stop her at least."
Hidenori nodded and took the card, looking at the white dragon with fire wings. He grinned, seeing as it was a level 9 monster, stronger than Gaketenou. "Alright, we'll use this one. But if it fails, you'll be in trouble."
Masaya nodded. "Who will we send this time?"
Sasori pondered for a moment, trying to think of an expendable actor. He smiled when he thought of one. "Let's send our abnormaly strong man, Haru."
Akira raised an eyebrow. "Why Haru?"
Hidenori grinned. "Because he is the strongest man, and freak, on earth. He'll crush them to a pulp."
"Well this is a nice place to have a dream." Akio said as he stepped through a forest and into a clearing where a small pond with a water fall cascading down was, surronded by thick trees. He smiled and looked up into the sky, seeing the moon surronded by stars. It sure was a beautiful sight.
"Akio."
Akio turned around to see a sliver wolf standing in front of him, it's blue eyes gazing calmly at him. Akio backed up, knowing a wild animal would kill him if he had the chance. The wolf took a step forward. "My name is Moonshadow."
Akio stared at the wolf. "Moonshadow?"
Moonshadow nodded his head and went towards the water, walking on it as if he were some great being. "I am your paladin, your spirit guide."
"Spirit guide?"
"Yes," the wolf said, "Everyone has one, though most don't see theirs. You are truly lucky."
Akio blinked. "My sister, a horse came to her, so is that what that was?"
"More than likely. Every paladin represents an element that ties into magic. Your sister is fire."
Akio leaned against the tree. "It was made of fire. Does that mean you're made of something?"
Moonshadow nodded and dispersed into water, tiny little droplets of rain fell to the ground, then came back together to form the silver wolf. Akio nodded, impressed with him. He touched the wolfs head. "Why is this all happening now? Is something going on?"
Moonshadow gave him a sad look. "An eclipse is going to happen. The sun and moon will eclipse each other and the balance will be upset. This has happened before and it is always up to twins to set it right."
Akio stared at his new friend. "Twins? What do you mean?"
Moonshadow looked up at the moon, then back to Akio. "I do no have much time to explain, you will have to figure out the rest on your own, but remember this saying."
"What saying?"
"Destiny divided, pitiful twins."
Me: Yeah it's short, but I wasn't going to do much in this chapter anyway
Rin: At least a few more things were explained
Me: Yeah! We know an eclipse is going to happen!
