Realm Remix
Ch7

As the mysterious figure smashed through Kaye's window, the sound of screaming could be heard throughout the mansion. "What was that!?" Mia asked in alarm as everyone bolted to the hallway.

"It sounded like whatever it was, came from Kaye's room!" Ryo replied as they ran over there.

"Dammit! The door won't open! Kaye, open the door, Kaye!" Kento shouted as he was pounding on her door.

---------------

"Who are you? What do you want?" Kaye demanded angrily as she glared at who she could make out to be another female.

"What I want is of no concern to you!" the female replied as she glared back while keeping her hold onto Tigermoon's wrist.

"That's where you're wrong, when someone is hurting one of my friends, then it is my concern. Now, I suggest that you let her go." Kaye warned.

"Or what? What can you do to me? As long as I have your friend, you can do nothing." the female taunted with a cold smile.

"She's right, as long as she has Tigermoon, I can't do a damn thing." Kaye thought in anger as she kept her eyes on them.

"I know what you want. Let the child go, and you can have it." Kayura said as she held the Ancient's staff in front of her.

"Child! Who are you calling a child, you old hag!" Tigermoon yelled angrily.

"In case you didn't notice, I'm trying to save your life here." Kayura replied coldly.

"Well, who asked you too?" Tigermoon shot back.

"Why, you little ungrateful..!" Kayura replied angrily as she glared right at Tigermoon. While the two were bickering, the female that was still holding Tigermoon was starting to lose her patients.

"Enough! Will you two stop your useless bickering, and hand over that staff?" the female asked angrily.

Kayura kept her angry glare locked with Tigermoon's, and then lowered her head, "fine, here, take it." she said in defeat as she held out the staff.

Just as the female was going to take the staff from Kayura, Kento and the others finally busted through Kaye's door as the lights were quickly turned on. "Who is that?" Sage asked as they were now staring at the female that was still holding onto Tigermoon. The female stood to be average height, had darkish tan skin tone. Her eyes were a very dark midnight blue, her white hair, even though it was pulled back, it still flowed down the center of her back and to her waist. She wore a golden head band around her forehead. She wore what looked like an authentic black and white kung-fu uniform. She had faded scars that ran up and down both of her arms and legs. Scars that showed that she was a very accomplished fighter.

"Who are you?" Rowen demanded as everyone had their attention towards her.

"I suppose that I could tell you, even though it doesn't really matter, but since you're being so insistant about it. My name is Shiree, and I have came to claim the Ancient's staff." Shiree declared as she tightened her grip on Tigermoon's wrist.

"Why do you want the staff? Why is it so important to you?" Cye asked curiously.

"That's for my information alone, there's no need for any of you to know. Now, are you going to give me the staff, or do I have to inflict more pain?" Shiree asked as Tigermoon winced from the extreme pain shooting from her wrist all the way to her shoulder.

Kayura was about to hand over the staff when suddenly, "Kayura don't!" Kaye said as she suddenly got an idea.

"What! Kaye, I don't believe you! You're actually going to let this psycho get away with this?" Tigermoon asked in disbelief.

"Tigermoon, do you remember what you did in the shop when we met earlier?" Kaye asked with a mischievous grin as she caught her gaze.

"Huh? Oh yea," Tigermoon replied as she smirked. "You know what, it's been fun hanging around with you, literally, but I think that it's time to leave. Bye now." Shiree looked between Tigermoon and Kaye in confusion. what could they be possibly talking about? Just then, Tigermoon space shifted from her present situation, and ended up next to Kaye.

Shiree looked at them in pure anger, and then before she knew it, she was surrounded by the Ronins and the Warlords. "It looks like I've over stayed my welcome. I think that it's time for me to take my leave." Shiree said as a wall of bamboo shoots blocked them from getting to her.

"Is everyone all right?" Ryo asked in concern.

"Looks like it, but my room is a total wreck." Kaye replied as they looked around and saw that shards of glass were embedded all over the walls, while the floor was literally torn apart from the sharp bamboo shoots. And then there was the matter of her door, her door was totally bashed in. While what was left of it that wasn't on the floor, was hanging from top of the frame.

"Now where are we going to sleep?" Tigermoon asked in annoyance. "We can't exactly sleep in there."

"Well, there's always the living room." Kaye replied as she started to walk down the stairs.

"Whoa, wait a minute. There's no way that I'm going to sleep down there." Kayura replied in a huff.

"Fine, then you find somewhere to sleep, I'm going to sleep down here. I don't know about you, but I'm tired and I don't care where I sleep. Just as long as I can finally get some rest." Kaye replied as she settled into Kento's "special chair."

"Actually, the couch does look inviting." Tigermoon said as she laid down on the couch. The others yawned and then said their goodnights and then walked back to their rooms, while Kayura stood there on the landing.

"Kayura, why don't you stop acting like a spoiled child, and just get down here, and go to sleep." Tigermoon said as she glanced over at her.

"Don't patronize me. I'll come down when I'm good and ready." Kayura replied hotly as she crossed her arms.

"Whatever." Tigermoon said as she finally fell asleep. Kayura looked over at Kaye and Tigermoon, she noticed that they were sound asleep. Tigermoon quickly opened one eye and then shifted to make room for her, and then she closed her eye and went back to sleep. Kayura was to say the least surprised by Tigermoon's generosity. She thought that since she and the Warlords gave her nothing but bad times that she wouldn't turn the other cheek, per say. So then Kayura quietly joined Tigermoon on the couch and finally fell asleep.

Meanwhile, back inside of the buffer zone between Earth and the Netherworld. "Shiree, I see that you've failed to acquire the Ancient's staff from them." a small boy said with a smirk. The light of the moon revealed a small boy with fire red hair. His eyes, were almost as red as his hair. He was small for his size, but his speed and fighting abilities made up for it easily.

"Oh just shut up, Doste!" Shiree replied in annoyance. "Let's see if you can do any better."

"It'll be my pleasure, Shiree. Why don't you just sit back and watch how a pro does it. Who knows, maybe you'll learn something." Doste boasted.

"What can you do, Doste? Annoy them by biting at their ankles?" Shiree teased.

"What was that? That had better not be a lame attempt at one of your short jokes, Shiree." Doste asked in annoyance.

"Doste, you wound me. You know that I would never..." Shiree replied as a glint of mischief shone in her eyes.

"No, of course you wouldn't dare to even to such a thing." Doste said as he rolled his eyes.

"All right, that's enough you two. I've had it with your bickering all the time. Now, the two of you put an end to it, or I'll do it for you. Do I make myself clear?" a tall and very muscular elf-like creature warned as he glared at them. They both looked at each other, they knew that when Cosa spoke he meant business. So Doste, and Shiree gave a quick nod and then let the bickering drop.

"Good, now that's settled. Why don't we get back to the matter at hand?" Cosa asked as he started to take control of the conversation.

The next morning...

"Man, what a night." Tigermoon said groggily as she started to slowly get off of the couch and began to stretch.

"Keep it down would you? I'm trying to sleep." Kayura mumbled as she turned over. Tigermoon looked down at her in annoyance, and then a cruel smile crept across her face as she got an idea. Kaye looked over at her with a confused frown on her face. Tigermoon gave a wink and then before she knew it, they both disappeared.

A few seconds later, "AAAHHH! COLD! TIGERMOON, GET BACK HERE!" Kayura yelled from the top of her lungs at her. Kayura's yelling made everyone else that was still in the mansion run to the nearest window to see what was going on. Everyone except for Sekhmet were laughing at the sight of a very drenched Kayura chasing a laughing Tigermoon.

As the chase continued, the others turned away from the windows and went along their business. "Morning Kaye, how did you sleep last night?" Kento asked as he slipped his arm around her shoulders.

"Actually Kento, I slept pretty well. I can see why you like that chair so much," Kaye replied with a teasing smile. "Maybe now it'll be my "special chair."

Just before Kento could give a reply, "what in the world?" Ryo asked as he stared at the sky.

"Ryo, what is it?" Sage asked as he joined him. Ryo motioned to the sky. "What the..?"

"Ryo, Sage, what are you two staring at?" Rowen trailed off as he now noticed what was happening to the sky.

The others gave confused looks, they were wondering what could have those three so mesmerized. So they've decided to go and see for themselves. When they got there, they noticed what got their attention. "No way." Cye said in awe as they walked outside.

"Hey, what are you guys looking at?" Tigermoon asked as she and Kayura were done chasing each other. Instead of getting a verbal response, she looked up and saw what they were all now seeing. The sky was showing different fragments of the many different realms that were crossing each other. At the center of all of the crossings was a grayish hole that had lightning bolts going around the outside. Also at the center were three people hovering in the center of it.

"What? Didn't you think that I would be back? And look, I've brought some friends with me, they're dying to meet you." Shiree said with an evil grin.

"Shiree?" Cosa asked.

"Yes, Cosa." Shiree replied.

"Which ones hurt my pet?" Cosa asked as he looked down.

"They're the ones, Cosa." Shiree replied as she motioned over to Kaye, Tigermoon, and Kayura.

"OOh, you're in for it now. No one hurts Cosa's pet." Doste taunted.

"Pet! That thing was no pet, it was an abomination!" Kaye replied as she and the others called upon their sub armor.

Cosa's blood began to boil, literally, because steam was emitting from his body, and his eyes became cold and unforgiving. "You will pay for hurting my pet!" Cosa yelled angrily, as a bright light came from behind the three that were hovering in the center of the grayish hole, and headed straight for them. They had to cover their eyes because of the brightness, then when the light was gone, the sky returned back to normal.

"They're gone, they're all gone." Mia thought in surprise as she looked around and noticed that only she and White Blaze were left standing.
