Ehrm, this is Ichigo-usagi Wizu speaking. Sorry pals, for making you wait for so long for this story's update! Now I present you with the fourth chapter of 'Part Half Beast'! The storyline gets interesting from the fifth chapter, guaranteed! (And hell, I was wondering what power would Seinna have, and that's what has been keeping me from updating the whole month.)

Okay, without further ado, let's go to the fourth chapter!

"What?" Aunt Tatiana half-shouted and half-questioned, "Why did Seinna have to go? She didn't do anything wrong!"

"Tatiana's right" Uncle Orin added, "Seinna, Arno and Xeride are also part of our family too, no matter what!"

"You don't have the right to just kick out part of our family, village chief or not!"

You two… are you trying to protect me? I just stood there, unable to say anything to deny or even respond to their act. I'm just glad there's someone that cares of me so much…

"Because…" Tatiana said with sparkling eyes,

"We are a big family… right?" Orin added. Master Blaire's face softened a bit.

"You're right… we are one big family, but in this case…" Master Blaire looked at the village chief, who sighed in return.

"I feel pity looking at you all…" The old man said, with more sigh. "You all make me remember when I was still with my wife, we were living in harmony back then, until the war came, and my little child along with his mother was killed… why it so remembers me when I first met her, she was sipping tea in the garden, near a big tree with a beehive, and the bees there make the sweetest honey, so she welcomed me and we had a tea party and also a decent conversation…"

Ah, this speech will take forever, I'm getting drowsy. I could hear Auntie Tatiana snoring quietly, and Uncle Orin was also getting drowsy. Nii-chan somehow managed to keep up and Xeride… he's getting his 'pointless talk' buffer volume filled. We waited and waited and waited… until finally everyone is pushed to their limit of patience and Master Blaire finally opened his mouth.

"It's about time…" Master Blaire whispered into the old man's ear. He immediately stopped his boring speech and finally, started to speak like a real village chief.

"So, about this, we will still have to have Seinna out of the village, but she is allowed to visit, every one month. Anyone have any problems with that?"

Everyone kept silent. And then the village chief opened his mouth again, "This kind of silence reminds me of…" Here he goes again. I prepared my pillows in case I fell asleep among his speech, there will be something to keep me from twisting my neck's joints. But luckily master Blaire acted just in time to stop the audio disaster. Anymore pointless talk and I think Xeride would blow up, really. Not to mean this old man's speech is more deadly to mechanoids than my mother's touch.

"Mister, I think everyone agrees with the decision, so why don't we take a rest first? It is afternoon and I think that leaving the village now must be exhausting for Seinna…"Master Blaire suggested. This time I must approve this one old man is brainy in these situations!

"Okay, well then because there are no objections about these, Seinna will have to leave tomorrow noon" the village chief continued. "And Seinna, if you think you need any advice, you can come to my house, I'll share what I know" the old man said with a smile, leaving the workshop. Like there is anyone who would come to hear his blabbering anyway.

Well looks like that I have more time to spend in this village, at least one day… well, what should I do? Maybe I can give that rabbit a visit… okay, I'm going there! I headed towards the exit door (and the entrance door as well, there's only one door in and out of the workshop) and just somehow nii-chan followed, along with Xeride as well.

"By the way, what are you going to do, Seinna?" Nii-chan inquired.

"I'm going to visit the rampage rabbit" I replied, which made nii-chan started to worry.

"Seinna, are you sure that you're going to visit it?" he asked full of worry. "Last time you fainted when you went against it…"

"C'mon, I'm not a baby anymore!" I replied, feeling confident with my own powers.

-An hour later, Cliffside-

I stood on the ground, trying to balance myself. Fastening my grip on the kitty saber, I rushed forward trying to slash the rabbit, which was shielded easily by the creature's steel-hard ears. It attempted to land a bite to my left arm, but I dodged it just in time. Next I aimed on its back. I did a back-flip and quickly changing into my gimmick knuckles, readied a special attack.

"Let's go, hundred fists!" I shouted as I landed ten repetitive punches on the rabbit's back. Most of them hit it right in the spot, but two of them were repelled right away. Darn, if I keep this up, all of my weapons would break! Quickly changing again my weapon into the grand spear (yep I forged the leafwrym thorn from last night into a spear), I stabbed the weapon into rampage rabbit's stomach. Blood splashed from the spot, and the rabbit fell fainted on the ground. A smirk grew in my face.

"I won…" I said weakly as I kneeled on the ground and asked nii-chan to heal me. It's already evening. I should go home; everyone's waiting for me… I guess.

-My home, sweet home-

As I arrived home, everyone's waiting for me. There were Auntie Tatiana, uncle Orin, master Blaire, and unexpectedly the village chief and also the villagers too.

"Seinna, tomorrow you're going out, right?" one of the villagers said.

"So, to make sure you have a good time here…"

"It's a feast!"

We had a good time in the feast. Everyone served themselves with toasted chickens and heartleaf syrup. It was great. At the end of the party we tossed our glasses together and the party ended.

Tomorrow I'll be leaving the cliff village…

Nah, it's done! And the last, I want to thank you all the reviewers and those who put my story into their alerts, I'm glad, really!

By the way, hooray for the victory against the finals!
