Chapter 2: The Pantra, Their Master and A Story

Good evening! EmpressLunastra here! I am going to try to make this a weekly-biweekly updated story so everyone doesn't have to wait too long!

Thanks to the reviews on the first chapter it gave me more determination to get this story moving while trying to be as detailed as possible!


After Ginga fell asleep Ryo returned to cleaning the dusty kitchen and Seth stayed with Ginga as the pair shared a room together.

Seth reads a book while Ginga and the creature slept.

Seth was a much more mellow than his little brother and wished he could leave Koma as often as Ginga did but with his leg that prevented most travel was happy to listen to what Ryo told him.

The creature woke and jumped off Ginga's shoulder and approached Seth and licked his hand.

"What are you? You must be pretty young whatever you are." The creature made a 'prii' sound before trying to climb onto the bed table and slipping off and landing almost silently on the ground. It made the 'prii' sound and started licking the table leg.

Seth was confused but quickly figured the creature was thirsty or hungry. He carefully stood up and picked up a small bowl used to catch rain outside and emptied it and limped just outside and filled the bowl with the running water from the small water stream outside the house and went back inside placed the bowl on the table. He picked up the creature and placed it on the table.

The creature looked at Seth then started to drink from the small bowl.

Seth smiled as the little creature, happy that the creature was happy.

Ryo had been cleaning out the cupboard that the creature was in originally which saying it stank was an understatement. It was foul but appart from what was probably the creature's 'gifts' and the dust it was very clean in fact.

After removing the mess, Ryo investigated how the creature got in but there was no evidence of how it got in. Rather suprised after having had found nothing that could used to explain the creature's entrance.

He got up after finishing the bottom cupboard then was about to start cleaning the top ones but he heard a scratching noise at the door.

Ryo sighed and paused for a second, previous injuries had made the idea of sitting straight on the floor regrettable as it hurt his right leg which had mostly recovered from being crushed during the cave-in that started off what was now know as the 'L-drago incident'.

He went up the steps and opened the door and was surprised that the creature that bit him was not going to be the weirdest thing that happened that day.

It was a large cat almost as big as the door, Ryo not believing what he saw just remained polite as he possibly could.

"Eh, hello, how may I help you?" He asked not expecting much of a reply from the cat.

A minute passed of complete silence until,

"Can you please help my master? She's hurt her wrist and I don't know how to help."

Ryo was surprised and asked "Where IS your master?"

The cat nods and moves to the side, it's master was about the same age as Ginga and wasn't going to be talking much from the looks of it.

The cat then said to it's master. "Come on, Suika. I'm sure they'll help you."

Suika nodded and came closer but stayed near the cat.

Ryo could see the injury, it looked like Suika had several puncture wounds every half centimetre making it seem like it was from the barbed wire that Koma used to use to keep bears away.

"That's looks bad, come in I'll take a closer look."

Suika and the cat nodded and followed Ryo inside and down into the kitchen.

Ryo turned on the tap and waited for it was cold, when it was directed Suika to place her injured arm under the water and after drying each puncture and wrapped it up, he was then able to persuade the cat to take her to have a tetanus shot which the cat did and within two hours the pair were back.

"Thank you, Ryo." The cat said when they came back.

"But I didn't you tell my name." Ryo pointed out confused at how the cat knew his name.

The cat laughed, "Oh, no Bey would be caught dead to not know your name, Ikhyoh Ryuusei. It would be extremely disgraceful if I didn't know."

Ryo was confused and stayed silent.

"Yeah, Beyblades have know the current Ikhyoh's name. Suika is happy you were able to help. Although she didn't talk to you, she does talk but do forgive her. I have been her only companion for 11 years."

Ryo nodded then had an idea. "Eh... you name?"

The cat nods back. "My name's Felis."

"Ah, Felis can I ask your opinion on what a creature is?" Felis walks back inside with Suika following behind as Ryo showed the cat into the room where the creature was sleeping on Ginga's lap.

Seth was surprised, although he knew there was someone else in the house but not a large cat. Seth looked back at the baby pegasi and now understood why it had wings.

Felis took a close look at the creature then asked "How exactly did you find a baby pegasi?" she asked suprised that she saw it.

"I was cleaning the kitchen and it was in a pan. The pan had been outside with the lid on because I was had been cleaning it yesterday and it was not a light pan. But my I was shocked when I openned the lid earlier and it bit me."

Felis laughed "Excuse my laughing. I see, baby pegasi are known to wonder if for some reason their parents reject them or it's orphaned. So it's probably lost it's parents and found the pan a souce of comfort as I was told pegasi kits love being in enclosed spaces."

"So what do you think we should do with it?" Ryo asked

"You'll have to raise it as considering how it's sleeping near Ginga. It wouldn't be fair to move it even if it's only a day as baby pegasi hate change."

"Oh... How would Ginga, Seth and I care for it then?" Ryo asked as it seemed he'll be stuck caring for the baby pegasus.

Felis laughed and then said "Bananas."

Ryo looked confused. "What about them."

"Bananas according to my friend, Baldo are the best food for baby pegasi who lost their parents."

Ryo nodded now understanding what Felis said.

Felis stretched and then said. "I thank you again Ryo, if Suika needs any help again we'll be sure find you."

Ryo nodded back. "Your welcome. I am happy to help you and your master."

Suika laughed still a bit too shy to talk to Ryo and he looked like he was thinking about something.

Truthfully Ryo was quite perplexed about Suika's personality as it can't be normal for her to be THAT shy, but he had to let it go because it wouldn't be polite to push it and the fact she reminded him of someone.

Once the pair left, Ryo went to check on Ginga who was currently by himself as Seth had went into the main room and was stuck into his book.

Ginga was still asleep, his usually not so quiet sleep was not around today and slept quietly instead.

Ryo then moved the Pegasus kit and placed it on a pillow that fell on the floor, then made sure Ginga's legs where covered by the quilt.

Ginga then woke up with a yawn. Ryo then said

"Good afternoon Ginga."

"Eh it's afternoon already?" Ginga asked a bit drowzy from having just woken up.

"Yes, it's 2pm. Can you move your arms?" Ryo asked.

Ginga then although shakily lifted his right arm and held it up.

Ryo nodded as the house's only phone rang. He went to awnser it.

Three hours later and after Ryo had to go back to Metal city to translate as Koma didn't have the infostucter for Ryo to be able do it in Koma.

Thankfully Asuma, Ryo's mother-in-law was able to keep an eye on Ginga for him.

She was very happy to do that as she enjoyed the company of her grandsons.

"So I heard you father had to go to the city to act as translator for a conference?" She asked to confirm it to Ginga.

"Yeah. I hope he's back soon." Ginga said not being fan of being alone.

Asuma sympathised with her grandson because of her own past was like having been left alone when her fiance died before Ginga's mother was born.

"I see. Ginga would you like to hear a story?" She asked.

"Ok then, grandma."

Asuma smiled. "Would you like to hear one about when you father was your age?"

Ginga was quite curious. "Yes please."

Asuma laughed, "Alright then. Back then, I and your mother and my other two kids where the only foriegheners in Koma. We were often avoided because as some of the older residents hated the idea that we could live in Koma. Your father at that time had because he got in trouble for palying tricks on the elders constantly was stuck on having to run the post around." She paused and Ginga asked.

"What tricks?" Ginga looked surprised his father was a trickster when he was younger.

Asuma smirked. "He figured out how to block and unblock the drain system Koma has and got in quite serious trouble. Anyway Ryo because of the letter runs ended up being Kohana's only friend, she even begged me to let her help out which I was fine with because the letter runs where only in Koma." She pauses for a quick sip of water before continuing. "Eventually your grandfather on your father's side came to the house and was wondering why I let Kohana help Ryo. I simply answered as 'she doesn't have any friends' he just nodded and said it was actually helping you father do the deliveries and to ignore the older people who were having problems with the whole having foreigners live in Koma and explained his own issues with the whole living in Koma if you hadn't had ancestry there."

Ginga nodded "So he acturally got stuff done."

"Yes, although you father was still a bit more energetic than even you are. I remember when there was a single battle world championship format and both Ryo and Kohana both competed. Surprisingly Ryo only came third and would of been second but then again it was Kohana that won the whole thing and beat Ryo in the semi-finals."

"Huh?"

"Yeah, you could be considered a prodigy because of that."

"Ok."

Asuma nods. "Your father was still quite a trickster for quite sometime after."

"Why did he stop?"

"Because Seth. He and Kohana were in a relasionship since they were 18 because your grandfather didn't want to deal with more grandkids for a while and would rather your parents be a bit older than what your other uncles managed to do." Asuma put the cup down on the table. "When your father injured his shoulder and had to go outside of Koma to have a shoulder operation. Kohana got really anxious something which was very odd. It later turned out she was preganant with Seth at the time and had yet to tell your father."

"Oh." Ginga blinked realising he let his very talkative grandmother in to explaining how his parents ended up together and didn't want to be rude.

"When he got back she told him almost straight away and Ryo almost cried not really knowing how to react. The news surprised the elders because their height difference because of your father being 7'2 and Kohana being 5'6 which is quite the thought in itself. It did stop Ryo from playing the tricks because Kohana kept falling ill and your father had to care for her."

"Mother kept falling ill?"

Asuma nods "Yes, Kohana did both times, both with you and Seth. I had it with Kohana so I can asume it was something genetic. When Seth was born his leg issue was noticed straight away because he couldn't move it and cried each time it was touched."

"Brother's leg was always like that?"

"Oh, yes. He had several operations on it before you were born. Well you had a few problems too."

"What problems grandma?"

"Well you had trouble breathing for a month after you were born. Ryo had to still study after you were born so I helped your mother out and my, you didn't like being put down at all but you loved being held. It was acturally very beneficial because there was techinal issues with the heating system ment as soon as Kohana recovered from the fact you were in the wrong postion, you and her spent a lot of time wrapped in blankets because it was really cold."

"How cold was it?"

"Well there wasn't any exact numbers for while you were there but at one point it was -25oC. Adding on to the fact that you spent almost all the time while you had the breathing assistance at the hospital with your mother, you both ended up incredibly close which probably helped her as she had short bouts with depression every so often. "

"Why?" Ginga asked pondering why.

Asuma sighed "Kohana just had them every time she went through something stressful, each one lasted about a week. She almost had one after you were born as she didn't get to see you for three hours and was really worried as she didn't know where you were, because you needed the breathing support and she wasn't able to move around. I was with her and Kohana was so upset that she couldn't see you." Asuma sighs then smiled. "But she cheered up very quickly when she did see you as earlier on she was able to hear you as you where one unhappy baby and Ryo had his hands full trying to settle you knowing it would upset Kohana and could set off her episodes. You calmed down almost immediately when Kohana got to hold you and she was so happy that she didn't say a single word for a hour afterwards."

"Ah..." Ginga said taking in the information.

"Now, would you like something to eat Ginga as you father won't be back to late?"

Ginga nodded "Yes please, grandma." Asuma nodded and left to make her grandson some food.


Meanwhile within the forest outside of Koma, Suika was resting on a tree stump and looking at her bandaged arm while Felis in her human form was cooking.

Felis was preparing the fish that would be the pair's food.

"Why did you take me to have my arm looked at after I fell on that fence?"

Felis looked up from the fire. "You could've of got a nasty infection Suika. I knew Ryo as Ikhoyh would help you."

"Felis how did you know his name though?"

Felis sighed "That's a question you'll have to figure out for yourself or Ryo will say it.. Eventually hopefully."

"Why?"

"Now that's something history will know better than us."

Suika confused then asked "Can I see that Ginga person who was was asleep again? The one who had the pegasus kit with them?"

Felis stuck the now prepared fish on the stone that was raised just above the fire as a makeshift grill to cook, grabbed her ear to rest her hand upon her cheek and commented "Oh, you're more than likely too if the Iesno is to be true."

Suika unquestionably nodded "Ok, then Felis. But how long will that be?" she complained cause she wanted to talk to people for once not a Bey.

"I'll say soon." Felis said to her master, so Suika wouldn't push for going to see Ginga.

She whined "But he's so cute!"

Felis sighed knowing how Suika's feelings could be problematic.

End Chapter 2


This will probably be important for readers who are used to the imperial system, I will be using metric as I grew up with that system and I am struggling to learn the parts of imperial measurements used for cooking.

Also, I got into college and have free Wednesdays so you might see a one shot here or there too!
