Two Sides-Part Two

Chapter two:  A quest for answers

It was true; two Ren’s were sitting on opposite sides of the room.  The grumpier of the two was sitting against the wall, his arms crossed.  He had dark black hair with bangs going down into his eyes which were gold.  He had on a black t-shirt with gold trim, a white tiger on it looking like he was ready to spring up, and black shorts.  He had a short of sour, angry expression on his face and he looked at no one.

The other Ren was just sitting, leg drawn up close to his body, a worried expression on his face.  His hair was gray and longer then Ren’s hair, going down to his shoulders.  He looked a lot more innocent then the other Ren and his eyes were wide and kind.  He looked around unsurely and it looked like he wanted to sink into the ground and disappear.  Yoh walked over to him and held out his hand;

“Hi!”

Gray Ren (A/N:  I’ll call him that fore now) looked at him with the same unsure eyes and he took his hand.  Yoh helped him up and he said, “Hello.”

Dark Ren ot up and looked at Ren’s body; glaring at Ren he said, “You did this didn’t you?”

“No, why would I do that?”

“I don’t fucking know,” he crossed his arms before looking at the Tao pendent and he slapped his hand against his head.  “The idiot, he used the pendent.”

“So we are stuck this way?”

“We are, until the curse is broken.”

The others as you have most likely have guesses were really confused by now.  Pirika, who was still holding Ren, stared wide eye at the two.  Horo was leaning against the wall.  Yoh looked surprise while Anna looked calm.

“What happened, who you are,” Pirika asked finally.

Dark Ren and Gray Ren looked at each other before Dark Ren looked back at her.  “We are two sides of his souls.  I am the darkness.”

“And I am the light,” Gray Ren chimed in.

“When Ren used the pendent, he caused his soul to be split apart into two parts.  His body is just a shell now, completely empty.”

Pirika looked down at Ren’s eyes, which were closed now, and held him a little closer.  “How can we help him?”

“Find a counter curse,” Black Ren said as he sat down in a wooden chair.  “But I don’t know where the counter curse is.”

Gray Ren just looked at Pirika with his wide eyes and smiled. “Everything will be fine.”

She blinked and then nodded, a small smile forming on her face.  “Yeah, I hope.”

Horo sat down and ran a hand throw his hair.  “This is really confusing, but I’ll go with it.”

“I guess we better get going,” Gray Ren said as he put the bag on his shoulder, “but where?

“We should head to the old Tao family palace, it will have a few clues,” Dark Ren told him coolly.

Pirika nodded.  Dark Ren turned to her and blinked in surprise.  “You don’t think your coming with us do you?”

“I am,” she said, jabbing a dinger into his face.  “It’s my fault this all happened and I will fix it.”

He blinked again and then smirked.  “You have courage, but this is not your problem.  You’re not coming.”

“I’m coming no matter what.”

Gray Ren said they could use the help while Dark Ren only glared back at her.  He didn’t like her at the moment right now; all she was is an annoying Aniu girl who really didn’t understand the dangers of their journey.  There was no talking her out of it, of that he was sure.  He glared and said icily;

“You can come with us but the moment you start to complain we’re sipping you back to the Aniu village you belong to.”

She nodded and they shook on it.

“Well, we’re leaving now,” Dark Ren said as they stood outside the exit of the En Inn (flame).  He was wearing an orange vest with yellow trim.  His pants were a light blue and he also wore yellow-orange boots.

“I’m ready.”  Gray Ren on the other hand wore the same out fit (a little bigger thought) that Ren wore when Yoh first meet him.  He wore a white shirt with long sleeves and a tie under a green blazer.  His shorts were also black and were short.  He also wore black boots.

Pirika came out wearing a light blue long sleeve shirt with similar color pants and furry boots.  She had her bag on her shoulders and had a furry scarf in her hand.  “I want to be prepared,” she told them after they stared for a moments.

Dark Ren looked a Pirika for a few moments before saying, “Say your good byes quickly.  We may be gone for a long while.”  Then he walked to the car.

Horo came up to her and hugged her quickly, whispering in her ear; “Keep and eye on those two.  Tamara got strange visions with them in it and I have a really bad feeling.  And stay safe.”

Pirika nodded and promised him.  Anna walked over and said he good bye quickly and quietly.  Yoh hugged her tightly and said that he hopes they figure out something.  

With that… they left.

End of Chapter two….
