We managed to get back to the boys. They were deciding were to eat. It
was time for lunch, and we were all hungry. We went to the Nasty Pasty. I
made the decision after the arguing.
-Flashback-
"Let's go here!" Tyson yelled. I shook my head. That place always had horrible food.
"Let's go back to the hotel," Lee said. Tyson glared at him. I stood between the two.
"Let's go there," I said pointing to the Nasty Pasty. They all boggled over the name. "It's a really good place to eat. The name's just a take on the word pasty."
-End Flashback-
We were getting ready to order.
"What do you want?" the woman at the counter asked.
"Traditional," I told her. She glanced at me and smiled.
"It's good to have you back, Aileen. Will you be going with the girls to the ring today?" she asked.
"Maybe. It's been a long time since I faced any of them," I told her with a shrug. The doors opened. In walked in the two destroyers, as I have nicknamed them. They saw me, then glanced at Lee and smirked.
"Give us the blade," one of them said. I shook my head no.
"You wouldn't want them to know, would you?" the other asked. I looked at them and sighed.
"Then maybe you would like to know," they began looking directly at Lee, "that she is a hybrid." Lee clenched his fist and growled. His glare turned to me. Tyson was ready to spring at him at any minute.
"I have harmed none, Lee. I am not a wild one that you hunt. I have a home and a family that is human," I stated. He looked at me shocked. "I am a trainer of the hidden ones. We mean humans no harm. We are part human ourselves. Those that attack humans deserve to die. They have broken the sacred code. Never harm a human if you can help it."
"No," one of the girls growled. "She lies."
"She doesn't," Mariah said. Lee looked at her. "I am a hybrid as well, Lee. I haven't harmed anyone, yet you would probably kill me if you had the chance." She turned away from him and sighed.
"Which bitbeast? Your own?" he asked. She shook her head.
"Mariah tatuchi Drigger{1}," Tyson stated. Lee's eye became huge.
"What does that mean?" Michael asked.
"Drigger's Mariah," I stated. He stared at Mariah. "That's nothing. Tyson and I are kaketchi Dragoon."
"What?" Steven asked.
"Twins of Dragoon," Tyson answered. Lee froze and glanced at us both before fainting. Emily grabbed him and told the woman behind the counter to get her a glass of cold water. She smirked at the fallen boy.
"Some hunter," she said under her breath.
/Of course, you two have quite a reputation./ Dragoon said from in his blade.
/Yeah, yeah. We know./ I told him with a groan. The woman brought me the water. A little kitty cat woke up very wet. I grinned.
"What's wrong? Can't stand the water, kitty cat?" I taunted him. He glared at me with his cat-like eyes. I just noticed them. That I itself scared me. I thought that we were the only ones that were like that. We were part animal spirit and all. Could a hunter be one of us? No, it can't be. He can't be the enemy and the ally. Oh, why am I cursed with finding the difficult ones? This is just to frustrating.
"What?" he asked when he saw me looking at his eyes. Tyson must have known what I was thinking. His mouth was hanging open.
"Who is you family?" he asked. Lee turned to him.
"Hunters," he said. I shook my head and motioned for Mariah to come over to me.
"Can you sense other cats?" I asked in a hushed whisper. She nodded. I looked over at Lee. She got the message. Her eyes closed for a brief moment before they opened again. Her mouth dropped open as she grabbed her blade and glared at the bit.
"What is it?" Lee growled. I began to laugh. "What's so funny?"
"You, all mighty hunter. You!" I managed to say between gasps. He glared at me. I motioned for Tyson to continue.
"You aren't of Hunter blood. You are like Mariah, Emily, and I. You are a hybrid. A cat is I'm not mistaken," he stated and glanced at Mariah. She seemed in deep conversation with Galux.
"WHAT?!" Lee yelled. All the hybrids, hidden and known{1}, winced at the decibel level of his voice. I stopped my laughing down to a chuckle.
"You're Galux's son. One of 17 actually. Crystal is her youngest, scratch that, was her youngest. Now I've got to get Crystal," I said. The two girls both glanced at Mariah, Tyson, and me. They took off like scalded dogs. I watched them run and began laughing again. Everyone, except for Tyson whom I had told my story to, began to stare at me.
"Sorry," I said as I stopped. My emotions were a wreck today as it was. "How about we eat and go back to the hotel? I'll explain everything there." We got our food, which, amazingly, was still warm. The journey back to the hotel wasn't bad. Just Crystal and the other girls pouncing on their new 'little brother'.
-Flashback-
We were just quietly walking back to our hotel when a blur in the trees caught my eye. It could only be Nora. She was the most adept at climbing. She and I were the oddballs of the Legendaries. We weren't related to the others by blood. Crystal and the others were down the street. Crystal glared at Lee. She must have known he was a hunter. He wasn't paying attention to her. He was still in a daze from being told he was a hybrid.
"Hey, Crystal," I said. She continued to glare at poor Lee, except he noticed this time. He backed away. "Leave him alone Crystal. He is your little brother, after all. Your mom had him 10 years ago." Crystal stared at him with wide eyes, as did Lee. Crystal went into immediate glomp the new family mode. I was afraid the Lee would suffocate. Crystal just laughed at me.

I was going to have a hard time explaining everything. The time for truth had come.
