Chapter 10
The Cat's Out of the Bag
~.~.~.~
**Beach OST - Will of the Heart**
Skylar gave a sigh as he walked into the infurmary that morning. It was Febuary 14 today...Nami's 21th birthday. But it broke his heart as he looked at the otter-girl, lying there in critical care. And it only fueled his rage at Steele for it was him that did this to her.
Nami was stable and the infection had been eliminated but she still hadn't awoken. Which saddened the young Elite Guard swordsman even more. Nothing but guilt plagued the poor boy's heart as he stroked her face.
"If only I got there sooner, I could have prevented such shame and fear to be placed on you Itachi-chan."whispered Skylar sadly.
His skyblue eyes then got serious for a moment as made haste to do what he came to do in the first place. Check up on her condition. Calmy looked at the heart monitar and saw her pulse had indeed strengthened. And once he finished his other duties he released a sigh of relief he didn't know he was holding.
"Thank goodness we don't use earth's primitive healing skills. She wouldn't have surivived otherwise."sighed Skylar in relief as a smile krept up his lips.
But he couldn't help but wonder...how his friends were doing.
"Ok, I do NOT want to go back down there again!"coughed Mew Lettuce after emerging from the water.
But Hansuke, Kishi, Jun, and I are laughing our heads off as we looked at Lettuce. The poor girl had been wrestling and dodging whirlpools for a good three hours. Drake on the other hand is tickled pink as he puts the medallion around his neck along with his own. The medallion was not like Drakes or even mine and Cadell's. It was crystalized Mew Aqua shaped like a crescent moon. The chain itself was sterling silver.
"At least we now have aquired the first of the medallions."stated Pai.
"Agreed. And that makes three less for him to grab."I smirked.
"Agreed."said Rose and Drake in unison, causing them to blush.
"Cadell-kun, can we go now? please, nya~!"I hear Kishi's flirtatiou purr as she glomps my arm.
I look at Pai and the others and give a reassuring cheeky grin before winking at Jun, Rose, Hansuke, and Drake. "We won't be long. Just running to the hotel."
"Alright, we're going to go take Hansuke for training sense we're done."said Pai and Hansuke flinched.
"Uh, um, Dr-Drake-kun and I..."stuttered Rose as she suddenly blushed redder then her namesake.
Jun on the other hand starts to get a devious grin as she gave a fanged sneer at her suppior. We just watch as Drake blushes just as hard. We were no fools; we knew that Drake and Rose had a thing for each other sense we first met Drake in the Maiden's Temple. But I can't help but smile as Drake takes a clawed hand and tenderly grabs Rose's own mch to her delight and surprise. I can only laugh as Rose franticly tried to hide her wolf ears and tail sense they popped out.
"You two have a date don't you?"chuckled Kishi.
"H-hai."
"Correct.."
"Well,"I began as I grabbed Kishi, "Catch you later!"
And with that we teleported away to our hotel room. But at the same time Leon watched them going with a pleased gleam in his eyes. "Finally! I never thought they would be alone again! And they saved my king the trouble of finding that medallion."smirked Leon before taking off to go after the duo.
"Ah, to be alone!"
I can't help but laugh at Kishi's relieved groan as she flopped onto the bed. And I happily perch myself on the window sill and laughed. "Anyways, figured what we'll name this kid?"I asked calmly.
I watched as my snow-kissed Neko-chan fiddled with the fuzzy ears of her kyuubi doll that she bought at this store that was full of Naruto themed items. One was a chibi Kyuubi plushie she had gone nuts over. But before long she replied, "Well, what do you think of Lupina for a girl?"
"Lupina...it means Valley of the Wolves, right?"I pondered.
**Bleach OST - Raw Breath of danger**
"Yep! It does-Look out!"
I yelp in surpise as Kishi tackles me to the ground as the window was shattered. I look towards Kishi to see if she was ok but she had her tail out and parts of her body was just sizzling from the flames of the fire-cat. To prove the point: her tail and ears were out, she was baring her fangs, and all of it at this strange Soarian man. "Soarian? OH CRAP!"I thought in a panic as the man advances towards Kishi.
And to my dismay he has seen her medallion, "So, you had the real Cyncia's Medallion of Purity."
Kishi growls at the man before getting to her feet, "I won't let you have it featherbrain!"
I can't help but laugh at the insult she just fired at this man who happens to be steaming in anger. But that fades quickly as he goes for Kishi who is now racing down the hallway in a panic.
"Meet me outside! I'll lead him away!"cried out Kishi with a squeak as she dodged one of Leon's slashes.
I can't help but panic as I watch my precious neko race out the door as fast as her legs could take her. I had to do something, I almost lost Kishi 5 years ago and I WON'T loose her now and I WILL NOT loose my child!
**Bleach OST - Choked**
My eyes flash in rage as the eyes of the pheonix glowed black, unlike Kishi's that would glow white. Hastily, as the voices of screams-one belong to Kishi-reached my ears I tossed all logic to stay hidden out the window.
"Screw this! Kishi needs me!"I hissed with clenched fists, teleporting away faster then I ever have before.
And before long I'm outside for a bird's eye view of Naruto City. Where was she? and where was that buzzard? Not west, not, south, and not north...There she was! Running towards the beach where the whirlpools were.
"Bingo!"I smirked and summoned up my Kitsune Swords, grabbing them.
With an enraged snarl I flew over and caught the blade of the Soarian's sword with one blade and slashed his stomach with the other. "DON'T YOU DARE LAY A HAND ON HER!"I snapped, my eyes flashing long enough for him to see.
"Cadell-kun!"I hear Kishi squeak in delight as the man hissed in pain.
"You bastard..."hissed Leon.
I haven't really done this in a long time but I summon up a chimera parasite and threw it at this man. His shriek reaching my ears as I steal the time to grab Kishi, hide in the safety of a tree, then teleport back with my medallion in hand. He gives me a stunned, greedy look at seeing it.
I have the other half of the Pheonix Medallion.
The priceless artifact of my planet's deity.
"You have the other half of the medallion!"sneered Leon, licky his lips in greed.
**Bleach OST - Battle Ignition**
I give no reply as I stroked it before mumbling the activation under my breath, "Light to the shadow, it surrounds all...Fox Guardian Cadell, Hikari Hentai!"
Instantly I'm swallowed my a blue inferno of fire, vanishing for a split second.
Then not long after I reappeared looking different then before. It has been 5 years sense I last resorted to this risky state of being sense it placed so much strain on my body. But I I can see Kishi's eyes on me and now I detect Pai and Jun was now with Kishi in the tree, watching me.
I look over at the waves and see my new appearance. My purple hair has grown to be of knee length and was in a ponytail nonetheless. I had on a red knight's cloak with a gold trimmed white Greek style attire right down to the jet black pants. Like with the battle with Deep Blue I have my long kitsune swords, but the hand has changed, my crimson blades having changed into that of a blood red nodachi with a carving a of, surpisingly, a snarling nine-tailed fox with the kenji for "Flash Fire" on it. My hands had fingerless gloves.
"Well now, things just got interesting. So this is the power of the Eternal Fire Crystals that my king seeks."chuckled Leon as we began to circle each other.
"Oh just shut the fuck up buzzard."I growled, poising my sword to strike.
Then with a battle cry the Soarian soldier and I clash in a vicious cloud of sparks coming from our swords.
**Bleach OST - The Distance To a Duel**
"Pretty good for a stupid buzzard."I grunted as I pushed him back then slashed a clean blow across his leg, "but not good enough!"
Leon hissed in pain but smirked deviously for now and I quickly realize it as he whispered something in a tongue I did not understand. And before I knew it a furious storm of razer sharp feathers were sent at me.
I didn't even have time to act.
Let alone defend myself!
But by some miracle I did manage to deflect a decent chunk of them. Which is good enough for me as Leon take this to the sky, me ignoring the pain of my slashes and grazes. Our attacks sped up until we were no longer visible to the naked eye. But I can feel the strain my body is going through as we pause just long enough to break apart from the current clash. "I Shit...the pain, I didn't realize it but it is finally slowing me down. If I don't leave this state soon I'm toast!"I thought, tightening my grip on my sword's hilt.
I look over at Leon and can see I have done a number on him, as expected. he honestly looks worse off then me. But I feel no better after being slashed, grazed, and stabbed by a storm of steel sharp feathers. I know now this would be our last attack.
So, I close my eyes as an inferno of white fire engulf the sword, "Fire of the Heavens!"
and with that I slash the air and send a nasty inferno of the holy fire, but it also ends up burning my own hands too in the process. Due to the fact it was so hot it heated up the metal to extremes.
But it does the trick.
Not even a single speck is left of this idiot!
At this relief I float back down to the ground just as Kishi comes out of hiding with Jun and Pai I quickly power down. But unforunately that was when everything started to spin and all I hear is the worried screech of my Neko-chan and I pass out then and there.
"Kishi, you've got some explaining to do~!"
It has been a few hours sense Pai, Jun, and I had returned from the beach. Before we left to pack our things from the motel Pai took Cadell back to my parents' place. But Jun's annoyed remark pisses me off.
Cadell was hurt!
Hurt because of me...to protect us.
Jun would never understand my feelings right now.
"Shut the fuck up Jun!"I snapped tears threatening to flow from regret and sorrow.
"Hmph, is that any way to speak to your empress, brat?"stated Drake coldly as he watched the birds flying outside from where he sat at the window.
"Drake-san is right, leave poor Nee-san alone. Cadell got hurt protecting her from the enemy."huffed Hansuke twirling his dagger in his hand.
Hansuke's weapon of choice were the very same daggers Jun used and although young, he proved to have promise in this department. He, like his sister, leaned more towards his father on some paresonality traits. His strawberry blonde hair and amber eyes were proof enough...the hair color he got from his mother of course. But unlike his sister he was born with the Red Data DNA of our mother. So, do the math people!
"That still doesn't change the fact Kishi didn't fight back. Coward..."grumbled Jun.
Instantly I stopped packing my bag and the air started to heat up, "Oh, I'm a coward am I?" I hissed, turning rather frightening. this worked for now Rose, Hansuke, and even Drake were cowering in a corner as far away as they could get.
"Oooo~! Jun-san's in trouble~!"gulped Hansuke.
"Th-that's an understatement kid."stuttered Drake nervously.
"She's got that look in her eye again; the same one she gave Nami years ago."whimpered Rose nervously.
"Yes, you are for letting this happen. You are a C-o-w-a-r-d, coward!"hissed Jun as the static between us rose to a dangerous pitch.
That's it, wave bye-bye as alll traces of sanity fly out the window! I give a snarl and did the one thing Jun wasn't expecting. I summoned my katanas and pinned her to the ground faster then you can blink an eye. Even the others were shocked but Hansuke...
"COOL!"
We call just sweat drop at this before I glare at Jun, my eyes flashing white as I spoke, "I was keeping a promise. But you are so clueless Jun."
Everybody just blink as Jun spoke, "So, your point is?"
"I'M PREGNATE! Do you understand me? I. Am. Pregnate. GET THAT THROUGH THAT THICK SKULL BAKA!"
Everybody but my brother stares at me like I have two heads as I release Jun and made my katanas vanish. Silence hanged for awhile in the air before...
"WHAT!"
