Two Worlds One Destiny

Chapter Seven

 

Summary: "Seto don't do this!" He shouted. With a few hand strokes, a portal opened, he was shoved in. The portal had opened in an alternative realm landing him with another Yugi and Atemu.

Mokuba let out a gasp at the two that stood before him, “Jounochi… `nni-sama…”

“Eh?” Recca gave a sadistic grin; lazily training his gun on Atemu while his eyes glanced over to the young Kaiba. “Hora, hora, Necro shrunk the little squirt.”

“That's not Koryu, you idiot,” Hakuryu's voice was strong and firm with same authority in Commander Honda's voice. His cobalt eye glared at the two in front of him. Mokuba shrank back behind Atemu fearing this carbon copy of his brother. “Necro, explain.”

“I found them wandering around the sorting ceremony when I patrolled the area. Hiro caught them, but I can assure you they're not from Deorc,” Necro stride over to the two before dropping a hand to Atemu's spiky-head, much to the short pharaoh's annoyance. “Our little pharaoh has already walked through the Gates of Judgment, however, this one here hasn't.”

“You mean he is…” Hakuryu trailed off before looking at the short pharaoh in front of him.

Necro smirked and dropped his arm over Atemu's shoulder, “I give you his royal majesty, Pharaoh Atemu.”

“Atemu?” Recca asked softly. The sadistic grin and aura around him disappeared as a childish aura replaced it. The gun in his hand slowly dropped to his side before it clattered to the ground. “Jou dan na… Kimi wa… honto ni… Atemu ka?” His honey brown eyes flickered wildly with confusion and many other emotions.

Hakuryu lowered his gun when he noticed Recca's state. He placed a hand on the blonde's shoulder before gently pulling him back. “Tsuya, go rest,” he ordered.

Recca turned to his to protest, “Demo—”

“Don't argue,” Hakuryu snapped, “You know what happens when you're in this state.” Recca dropped all resistance and leaned against Hakuryu limply, he seems like a rag doll in such a state. He mumbled against Hakuryu's shoulder, but none of them can hear it except the person he's mumbling to. Hakuryu returned his gun to its holster before shouting to the ceiling, “Noa!”

The aqua-green haired young man materialized in front of him the moment he beckoned. “You called?” he asked merrily with a bright smile plastered over his face.

Hakuryu released his hand from Recca's shoulder and gently shoved him over to Kami, “Make sure he sleeps and this time, don't let him out of your sight no matter what he says.”

Kami caught the limp blond before giving Hakuryu a salute. “Whatever you say, it's your base,” he joked before muttering a chant under his breath; both he and Recca disappeared shortly after.

Hakuryu turned to Atemu and the others when he felt Kami's presence was elsewhere. “Before we continue,” he gave a firm glare at Necro, “I want a full report later on my desk Necro. As for the two of you...” His eye lingered on Mokuba for a moment when the boy shrank away from him. “I want to know what happened to Koryu.”

“Might I suggest a change in location?” Necro suggested gesturing the hall with a free arm.

OOOOO

“Itee!” Koryu hissed placing a hand to the lump on his head. “I serious don't like this way of traveling!” he muttered rolling onto his back. He shook his head trying to clear out the cobwebs in his mind, but it only made his headache worst. “Chikuso…” he tiredly murmured. “I have no energy left.”

The sound of wheels neared. Koryu tried lifting his head to see who it was, but failed miserably as he collapsed back to the ground tiredly. A small humming sound echoed, Koryu tensed at the familiarity of the sound, it meant someone has summoned a monster. The creature hauled Koryu up much to his horror. He resisted and tried to scream, but the creature covered his mouth.

“Please calm down young man, you might wake Yugi,” a grandmotherly voice said.

His eyes widened, Yugi!?

“Judging by your reaction to young Yugi's name, you must be from Protegere.”

Shimatta! She's from Deorc! But… she's so old... Koryu continued to struggle.

“I will not turn you in young man, you can calm down,” she said surprising the raven-haired adolescent. “My name is Maico Katou, may I ask for you name, if you agree not to disturb Yugi's slumber? The poor dear haven't slept for ages.” Koryu reluctantly nodded. “Good, we may use the next room for tea.”

The monster gently placed Koryu to his feet before leaving to push Maico's wheelchair. Koryu glanced over to the sleeping Yugi before turning back to the room Maico was pushed into. He gritted his teeth, it was a perfect opportunity for him to kill Yugi, but the old woman… was confusing. He wasn't sure what to make of her. He glanced back at the sleeping man one more time before agonizingly dragged himself to the room Maico was leading him to. He stopped at the door, amazed by the beautiful garden before him, but he frowned when he remembered the chaos and horror Deorc have placed the rest of the world in.

“Please come and take a seat,” Maico waved and ushered him over. As he strained to walk forward, Maico noticed his wariness and motioned her monster to give him assistance.

Koryu was hauled up like a sack of potatoes and carried off to the chair before being placed down again. The young Kaiba found this experience strange as he watched the elderly woman poured tea for two. “Why are you doing this?”

Maico smiled warmly, “Why shouldn't I?”

Koryu slammed his hands down onto the table, “You're working for Deorc! You're the enemy of Protegere! Why are you helping me!?”

“Please calm down, even though I promised not to turn you in, the racket you're making might,” she said calmly before pushing a cup of tea on a saucer over to him before pouring her own cup. “You must be exhausted after your return.”

“My return?” he said in surprise. “How did you know I came back from another realm?”

“I didn't,” she grinned. “You just told me.” He dropped his head to the table. She chuckled lightly before placing down the pot of tea. “You must be Koryu I believe.”

“Is that an assumption again?” Koryu sat up and glared at her.

Maico chuckled again, “This time it's real knowledge young man. I'm really surprised that they use you on the field with your inability to hide information.” He flushed at the insult. “Interrogation is not always physical and psychological torture. It could be as simple as a little chat over tea.” She raised her cup as cheers before giving a slight slip.

“Why are you telling me this? You could have extracted all the information you wanted,” he was getting more confused by this woman.

“I am loyal to Deorc, but only up to the point to what I believe is right,” she said placing down her cup.

Koryu looks puzzled, “What?”

“I meant what I said. I will not do something for Deorc unless I believe its right,” she said.

The young Kaiba growled and stood up, “How could you think what you're doing is right!? Have you seen how the world outside of this place is like!? Do you know how many orphans were created because of this pointless war Deorc is having with—” He almost didn't catch himself from revealing his brother's real role.

“Your brother Hakuryu,” she quipped, “Yugi has already informed us about the members of the Protegere.” Koryu gritted his teeth, but remained silent. “I know clearly how everything is around the world and it saddens me to know the war has caused such a catastrophe.”

“Then why are you doing it?” he was in frustration. “What is the purpose of Deorc? We've fought for three years already and I don't even know what the intention Deorc has against the whole world!”

“Revenge, self-interest, dreams, belief, all causes of ones' desires,” the speaker went on into a mumble; the voice spoke was cold and unrelenting.

Koryu froze at the familiar voice while Maico's cheerful face dropped slightly into a worry. “Yugi dear, I thought you were going to sleep a bit longer,” Maico said softly. Koryu hesitantly turned to face his dark and former friend.

“Maico-san… I hear voices,” Yugi's eyes were glossed over with no light or life in them. Maico was surprised by the sight of his eyes as he dragged himself into the room with his arms hanging at his sides.

Koryu was surprised that he didn't talk to him or even acknowledge his presence. Clenching his fist and gritting his teeth, he called out. “Don't ignore me, you traitor!” Yugi halted. “Why did you betray Protegere!? Why did you betray us?”

Yugi remained silent for a bit longer before he spoke again, “Maico-san… Do you hear something? I think the spirits are talking again,” he murmured softly. “But I wonder how they got up here?”

Maico looked worried as she watched the zombie-like young man drag himself further into the garden. “Yugi dear, you…” she trailed off as she realized something.

“Yugi!” Koryu growled as he moved around his chair, but his body froze when Yugi trailed his dead eyes towards him.

“The spirits are unsettling,” Yugi whispered, but his voice echoed and pulsed in the room. “We must help them put their souls to rest…”

Koryu froze stiffly, arching his back before collapsing to the ground as if he was in a seizure. “W-what did… you do?” his eye twitched as he struggled onto his hands and knees, but he collapsed.

Maico raised a hand, but she briefly dropped before quickly motioned her monster to assist Yugi back to his room. She wheeled over to Koryu's side, “Forest Guardian Green Baboon, make sure Yugi returns to his bed and whatever you do, don't wake him.”

The creature nodded and stride towards Yugi. The young man continued to whisper and mutters under his breath as the creature place a hand of his shoulder and ushered him back to his room. Maico watched with worry as he left, but her attention swiftly changed to Koryu. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a fan, embedded in the fan were green and yellow orbs. Flicking her wrist, the fan snapped open.

“Shiro no kaze,” she said softly and swept her fan over the young adolescent. Koryu stopped his twitching slowly, releasing a relaxed sigh of breath.

“Asleep?” Koryu asked once he was able to push himself into a sitting position. “He did all that damage to me in his sleep!?”

Maico gently rapped Koryu on the head with the fan. “You should be glad that he had enough control not to kill you!” She glanced back to where Yugi have left. “The poor dear changed so much,” she sighed before tapping Koryu on the head with the fan. “Now come along, I'm afraid it's impossible to send you back to Protegere without too much of a problem.”

Koryu's eyes narrowed. “Security problems?”

Maico only smiled warmly. “On the contrary, the security here is quite horrid.”

“Huh?” Koryu was baffled by her confession.

“Dear boy, you don't know where the Deorc base is?” Maico asked cheerfully, the raven-haired Protegere member shook his head. “We're outside in space!”

“WHAT!?” Koryu shouted.

OOOOO

“I see...” Hakuryu murmured against his folded hands. His single cobalt eye trailed over to Mokuba. “Though your intentions were good, that was stupid of you to interrupt a spell ritual.” Mokuba shrank away from Hakuryu's scold, but the tone of the Protegere leader softened. “But thank you for returning the locket. I will do whatever that is in my power to assist your return to your world.”

“The portal will take a while to recreate,” Necro frowned as he crossed his arms. “I never attempted anything to another dimension, other then the Shadow Realm. Koryu's escape key should have worked perfectly and returned him to Hakuryu's quarters, but when Yugi attacked; his magic must have interfered with my original castings. It'll require some research, but with the current situation, I don't think I'll be able to do much on it.”

“Don't worry about it, I'll have Suguroku and Arthur to work on it,” Hakuryu reassured him.

(Beep, Beep)

A hologram screen appeared on top of the desk and Commander Honda appeared, “Hakuryu, there are to imposters running around, Necro—”

“I've gotten the situation under control Hiro,” Hakuryu replied. “They're currently my guests. Don't tell anyone about their presence and keep your subordinates quiet.”

“Shikashi...” he was hesitant.

“Koryu is still alive, I can reassure you that. Just worry over the new recruits. Hopefully, we won't need them anytime soon, but please prepare them for the worst.”

Commander Honda saluted with stiff control, “Yes sir!”

The screen flickered off before Necro let out a sigh. “Hiro never did like me much after Ryou and Bakura merged,” he gave an amused grin. “I guess there's another reason for him to dislike me even further.”

Hakuryu did not allow the albino man to wallow himself in his thoughts as he continued the conversation, “As you can see, it would be difficult for you to roam free within the base. However, that problem can be easily solved,” Atemu stared at him curiously. “Noa, come to my office for a moment.”

Within seconds, the aqua-haired young man appeared before him. “How may I help you, my honorable brother?” he gave a mock bow with his playful tease before standing up straight again. “Tsuya is soundly asleep in his quarters and the other members of Protegere should be returning from their missions soon.”

“Good, then I'll place you in charge of our two guests,” he motioned towards Mokuba and Atemu. “Show them to their quarters and assist them as much as you possibly can,” his eye narrowed, “Don't let any of the other members know of their existence in the base or we'll be having a few conflicts on our hands.”

Kami chuckled, “Keeping this from them will not have a good turnout. Remember what happened with Koryu last year?” Hakuryu frowned. “I doubt the word conflict would be the proper definition of what would happen when they find out.”

“I'll deal with it when the time comes; until then, please keep this quiet,” Hakuryu ordered.

“Hai, hai!” Kami chirped. “Let us go then, shall we?”

Atemu and Mokuba rose from their chairs, but former pharaoh paused to talk to Hakuryu for a moment. “I know we must be a burden to you at the time of war, but if you need any help, I am able to offer assistance.”

The brunette nodded before they followed Kami out of the room. Mokuba glanced back at Hakuryu and Necro for the last time before the door closed. “Neh, Atemu...” the little Kaiba asked as he drew his attention away from the door.

“Nani?” Atemu asked.

“Do you think the same thing would happen in our world?” he asked.

“Hopefully not,” Atemu replied before Mokuba's shoulder slumped. “Don't worry, I won't let it happen.”

Mokuba gave a faint grin. “Arigato.”

The group was in silence for a while as the two went into their own thoughts, but Kami finally broke the silence was a sigh. “Are you two always this depressingly serious? Come on, even Hakuryu jokes around sometimes... even though... very rarely...” he chuckled sheepishly as if he remembered an embarrassing event.

“Hmm?” Atemu responded, startled by the sudden breaking of the silence.

“Geez, you two are just cheery muffins aren't you?” he asked sarcastically. “Loosen up a bit, with all this war around us; we don't need anymore negative vibes floating around.”

“Gomen, but the fact both Mokuba and I are facing the fact that we're unable to return to our world yet, troubles me... and I can't contact my other half... I'm getting slightly worried over him,” Atemu mumbled.

“Other half eh?” Kami shrugged. “Probably the Yugi of this world might have something to do with that... I wouldn't know. My brand of magic is not part of the shadow magic they all use.”

“Eh?” Mokuba perked up in interest. Even if his brother didn't hold overly too much interest over the subject of magic, it always stroke up an interest in him. “If it's not shadow magic, what magic are you using?”

Kami glanced down at the boy grinning, “A very old magic that can rival shadow magic, but the only problem, is that I have to help it grow in order to use its greatest potential,” he pulled up his sleeve before raising his arm to show Mokuba the armlet.

“What is it?” Mokuba asked.

Atemu watched curiously as Kami pulled out a small orb from the armlet and held it up to the light. It glowed and gleamed with a warm light. “This, Mokuba, is a materia,” Kami said proudly. “It's created from over one thousand years of gathered life force on earth... but it only comes in five colors...” he grumbled.

Mokuba sweat dropped about the color comment. “Uh... what power do they have?”

“Well, these are separated into classes: magic class, support class, command class, independent class and summoning class. You can identify them by color. The green is the magic class, the blue is the support class, the yellow is the command class, the purple is the independent class and the red is the summoning class.”

“Summoning?” Atemu asked curious. “As in summoning monsters from the shadow realm?”

“Nope,” Kami grinned brightly. “Most of the ones I summon are much more ferocious then most of the monsters anyone in Deorc or Protegere, other then Seto, can summon.”

“Is that so, Kami?” A feminine voice made Kami flinch. “And would you mind telling me why do you have an imposter and a traitor roaming the halls?”

They turned with Kami sheepishly laughing. “Becky, what a surprise, I didn't know you were here...” he began to mumble to himself. “Must be a flaw in the security system, the magical wards didn't alert me anyone coming in.”

Atemu and Mokuba stared in surprise at the older Rebecca duplicate; her attire was quite a sight. The style was similar to a kunoichi's gear, rivaling Koryu's style. Consisting of a black tank top with a net wired shirt and shorts, she was quite revealing with her maturing body. Her arms were crossed over her growing chest as she tapped her foot impatiently on the ground. “Your system is not flawed. Unlike the other members, I only had to scan through the system files with Suguroku and `ji-chan.”

Kami lightened up. “Good, then I don't have to worry too much over the system yet.” She let out a growl before grabbing for Kami's collar, but he dodged away from her hand. “Before you continue your next attack, you should talk to Seto. I promised not to talk about these two... but... I'm just not as lucky as `Tsuya.”

“Is that so?” the girl prodigy said irritably.

“Yup, no one has more shit luck then `Tsuya!” he chirped.

The girl gave one last glance at Atemu before she noticed the tauk around his neck. A flicker of light flashed through her eyes before she turned her heel head towards Hakuryu's office, but she paused for a moment. “Atemu-san, I would like to talk to you later once I have a talk with saicho.”

Atemu was surprised when she called him by his name, but Kami chuckled as she left. “I guess Becky knew of your arrival already,” he grinned to himself before turning to Atemu and Mokuba once again. “We should head to your quarters before anyone else decides to greet you neh?”

 

Mou Hitori no Seikai

 

“There must be something we can do to get Mokuba back! I just know it!” Seto snapped angrily as he looked through book after book in the Isthar library. Seto had quickly rushed all possible help to Egypt for research to return his brother to his world when Bakura refused to help.

“Destroying our library is not going to help anyone Kaiba!” Malik snapped as he returned the books Seto threw carelessly to the ground, to the shelves.

“Where's your sister?” Seto snapped.

Malik sighed exasperatedly. “For Ra sakes let her sleep! She's been having nightmares for weeks already! Why do you need her here anyway?” The young Egyptian asked in irritation.

Seto grumbled to himself. “Never mind...”

“Oi Malik! What does this mean?” Katsuya shouted from another section of the Isthar library; he was one of the few Seto had dragged along for researching. The blonde may not be the top of the class, but he's determined and wouldn't give up as easily as most people.

“Just wait a second!” Malik shouted before placing a few more books back into their places. He turned to Seto briefly. “Try not to damage any of these books. It took a long time for `nee-san to translate them.”

Seto growled, but he did not respond. Instead, he dropped the book carelessly on the table before grabbing another. Malik sighed as he watched the CEO for a second longer before rushing towards where Katsuya was residing. When he turned the corner around one of the many bookshelves, he saw the blonde standing below the window where the light would seep in from the outside. The library was in the underground cellar of new Isthar household.

Katsuya looked up when he heard Malik walk closer. “How's Kaiba?”

Malik shook his head. “You would think he would be used to this stuff after Mokuba was kidnapped so many times.”

The warm chocolate browns eyes glanced back down at the book. “No matter how many times it happens, it's still hurts to lose them. I think you would feel the same if your sister is in the same situation.”

“Yeah... maybe...” Malik shook out the thought from his head. “Didn't you say you need help? What is it?”

Katsuya held up the book and pointed. “This, what is this?”

Malik grabbed the book before a sweat drop formed behind his head. “You can't read hiragana?”

The other blinked. “Hiragana?” pulls the book back “Doesn't look Japanese to me. Are you sure it's hiragana?” The Egyptian sighed. This is going to take a while.

OOOOO

“Bakura?” Ryou asked hesitantly.

“What is it?” The spirit responded with a mellow tone.

“You can get Atemu and Mokuba back couldn't you?” He managed to pull up enough courage to ask.

Bakura didn't look up from the windowsill he was sitting at. The moonlight shown through his transparent body gave him a ghostly glow. “I'm not bringing them back.”

“Demo—”

Bakura snapped his head up and glared at his host to back off. “I said I will not be bringing them back,” he growled; his eyes hardening as he spoke. “If the pharaoh and the brat are coming back, they'll have to find their own way.”

Ryou bit his lower lip as he watched his other half turn away. “I'll leave you alone,” he murmured before he left his room and closed the door behind him.

Normally, the host and spirit are unable to part too far from one another. However, Ryou have discovered that as long as they were within a compound that both of them are familiar and comfortable in, they're able to part further.

Ryou sighed as he leaned his back against the wall. I wonder if what Isis-san said was true... Does he want Atemu to help the other world? He shook his head unsure of his own speculation. Better not think too much of it... He shook his head again before pushing himself off the wall and walking towards the study.

Bakura, inside the room, listened to Ryou's parting footsteps before he curled up at the windowsill. “Don't let it happen again pharaoh. He's still in that world... I can feel it,” he murmured.

 

Senso no Seikai

 

“Here we are!” Kami said cheerily as he stopped in front of a wall.

“It's a wall,” Mokuba said bluntly.

The other raised his index finger, “Not just a wall,” he ran the finger down the center before a line appeared and drifted apart. “A hidden room!” he chirped. “Koryu always hide here when he gets in trouble.”

“I'm assuming Koryu gets them irritated quite frequently,” Atemu noted as he looked around the room. Unlike the rest of the establishment, the room looked though a tornado has blown through. It was unimaginable to those that never seen the garbage dumpster at its worst. Even Mokuba cringed in disgust.

Kami gave a sheepish laugh. “I wasn't expecting to hide anyone besides Koryu, but just bear with it for now; I'll get cleaned up as soon as I can.”

“Mokuba, does your room look like this by any chance?” Atemu asked.

The young Kaiba shook his head. “No, even though the mansion has maids, `nni-sama and I don't like having them in our rooms. We tend to them ourselves.”

Kami raised an eyebrow. “Now that's a surprise, Mokuba Kaiba actually cleaning his room,” he cackled. “I guess there is a world out there where he's a good little boy.” He grinned before his eyes narrowed and quickly turned. “Someone's at the gate,” a frown marred his face. “I sense blood... I'm going to see what happened. You two stay in this room.”

“But Noa!” Mokuba tried protesting, but the doors slid shut and sealed out their only exit.

Atemu brushed his hand over the wall that was previously the door to the room. “This room is made of magic. I can feel the energy radiating from the walls,” he murmured.

Mokuba sighed and rested his hands behind his head; he turned to look at the chaotic and pigsty room. “Man, I hope I don't turn out to be like the other me, this place is disgusting.”

Atemu dropped his hand from the wall before turning to the repulsive sight of the room. “Noa doesn't seem like he's going to return anytime soon and I don't think I'll be able to tamper with the magical energy around here.”

“So we're stuck here for another few hours with this mess,” Mokuba frowned and glared at the dump. He stood there for a brief moment before dropping his hands to his side and storming into the bathroom.

“Mokuba?” Atemu called to the younger. When Mokuba returned with a bucket of water in his hands along with a few other cleaning items, he couldn't help but stare at the other questioningly. “What are those for?”

Mokuba raised an eyebrow, making him look frighteningly similar to the elder Kaiba for a moment. “What do you think? I'm not going to sit in this crap until Noa comes back. So are you helping me or are you just going to stand there?” Atemu sighed before deciding to help the young Kaiba with the cleaning of the room.

“I wonder about you sometimes,” Atemu couldn't help but mumble under his breath; he never expected Mokuba Kaiba to be a neat freak.

OOOOO

 

Translation:

 

Hora, hora: it can be translated as “look it here” or “looky, looky”

Jou dan na… Kimi wa… honto ni… Atemu ka?: You're joking... you're... really... Atemu?

Shiro no kaze: White Wind

Shikashi: This is used when the person is uncertain and is trying to protest, but not exactly putting too much effort into it. It can be used as but and however.

Kunoichi: A female ninja

Shimatta: Another word of profanity most often used by the characters in irritation.

 

Explanations:

 

There's not much to explain in this chapter, but I'll do it anyway for the people who actually likes to read this part of the chapters. In this chapter, Recca was portrayed as a person that has enormous mood swings. However, that is not the case; he actually developed another personality much like how Malik did before. At the death of his sister Shizuka, he was recruited by Hakuryu and given the millennium rod. In doing so, the magic in the item helped him deal with his misery by separating him into two people. You'll notice he's being called by two names. One name is Tsuya and the other is obviously Recca. In the earlier chapter, Necro mention Hakuryu letting the sadistic out to play; the sadistic meaning Recca, Tsuya is generally the lighter personality.

I bet most of you were surprised when I placed the Deorc headquarters in space. I chose that particular location because of the difficulty of reaching there and that not many would think to go out to space to look for Deorc. The other major reason is due to the influences of too many Gundam series and sci/fi books... (Orson Scott Card Rules!)

Koryu finally reappeared, but unfortunately, for him, he reappeared in the middle of the Deorc base. In this section of the chapter, we're able to look deeper into Yugi's character. His mind and body is suffering from the lost of his other half, thus caused an unbalance and fluctuation in his powers. While conscious, he's able to control these fluctuations; however, at the state of unconsciousness, he'll go into a trance. The trance is a representation of the reliance he had on Atemu when he was still present with him. Without Atemu, his energy is uncontrollable in his unconscious state.

Materia is an orb created by gathered life force. This sort of magic is from the RPG Final Fantasy VII. As of now, only Kami and Maico use such magic. Maico's “Shiro no Kaze” is an enemy skill that heals one target. Kami hasn't given a demonstration of his powers yet, but I'll try to get to that during the next chapter as soon as I possibly can.

There was a brief insert of the world Atemu and Mokuba came from. Seto is very anxious about his brother and that's to be expected, but my main point was to reach Bakura. Katsuya was a comic relief to cure the tension that was gathering up to that point. Bakura mentioned, “He's still in that world.” I know you're curious to whom this he is, but I'm afraid I'll have to leave you in suspense for the moment. Bakura's personality at the moment is showing great concern for the two he sent away, but why, I'll have to leave it for another time before I reveal who he is.

 

A/N: I'm dreadfully sorry for the long wait, but I'm afraid I was occupied with writing term papers. I hope you enjoyed this chapter, and would return when the next update occurs.
