Onto Chapter 21


KO was thrown to the ground as Draciel fell by her side, whimpering. As the demon chuckled as he looked down at KO.

"You not that tough to beat," KO laid on the ground as her emotionless eyes stared up at the sky. "Come here you!" The demon grabbed Draciel by the hair as she cried out in pain. The demon chuckled as the rain soon began to fall. Draciel's cries filled Ko's mind, as did the demon's laugh. KO narrowed her eyes as rain began to heal her wounds, but she lie there. An old memory came to her...

Flash Back

"You dishonour the rules just as Ladycat and Ignatius had done! For that, your mate shall suffer," said person in a cloak.

"What?" A young man with long slightly wavy blue hair, that looked somewhat like silver. He was chain to the ground, and he wore grey cargo pants with silver tunic as his hair had a bandana on it. "But why! She is innocent for this! I'm the one who should be punished!" Said the young man.

"And you are," He and other, who were in cloaks cleared the way as a girl with wild blonde hair, wearing a dress that looked to be came of the middle ages was thrown into the mud as it was raining.

She panted lightly as she looked around her and at the man. She had sad eyes as the men began to attack her.

"NO! Let her go!" Hissed the man. She cried out in pain as her lifeless body lied in the dirty.

"This could have been avoid if you only followed the rules, now that Naiya granddaughter is near death because of you,"

"Help me... KO..." muttered the girl. She began to reach out for the man as he stared at her.

"Draciel..." He mutters as he clenches his eyes tightly. "DRACIEL! I promise you! That one day, we well be together, but it won't be in this time!" He said sadly.

"KO... help..." cried the young girl as she closed her eyes. A whirlpool of water appears around her.

Then it shot up in the sky as it swallows her body, but as the man was going to turn to young guy. The whirlpool came down and swallowed the young man.

"What the?" The man backed away.

"My granddaughter wishes to be with this elder..." The men in cloak turn to look at Naiya. She had short silky looking blonde hair with a few freckles. Her outfit was made out of water as the whirl stay. Naiya slowly walked over to it and looked at the young man inside.

"Young KO; do you promise that one day you will be with my granddaughter one day?" KO looked at the woman.

"Yes, as my word as an elder. I promise to be with her..." tears rolled down his smooth face.

"Then be it, let the element of water heal your weakness..." Naiya muttered as the whirl gave a brilliant light and shot up into the sky as it disappear. KO laid their feeling nub as he stared up at the sky.....

End of Flash back

KO's pupils went into tiny slits as she shot up and blasted the demon away as Draciel sat on the ground panting lightly. KO had a silver aura surrounded her as she walked over to the demon, which groan as he sat up. KO had grabbed him by collar of his armour. Draciel's eyes widen in amaze as she watched KO.

"You dare hurt my mate?" The demon chuckled weakly saying he was only playing. "I don't think so! Shadow Night!" Everything was swallowed up by darkness as it all froze into place. There was a thin white line to make out objects as KO stared at the demon was the frozen in time.

"Heh, I always wonder what it would be like, when I did myself," smirk KO as she grabbed hold of the demon's head. "Time to return where you belong." KO narrowed her eyes as she blasted the Demon's head off and the rest of his body began to disappear in a purple flame. KO was going to regain time, but she felt another presents. She walked over to Draciel's frozen state. "I know you're out there! So might as well just show yourself!" hissed KO.

"My, my aren't we frisky." KO looked around to find the source of the voice. "But before you become one with your mate, you have to pay your duty to your master first. Am I right?" KO hissed as she blasted at random.

"Show yourself!"

"Heh, if you insist," A cloak figure appear before KO. He took off his cloak as KO raises a brow as she put her arms over her chest.

"Turpitude... I thought they dealt with you long time ago, but I guess you survive after all," said KO.

"Uh yes, and I believe you got your memories back?" smirk Turpitude as KO rolled her eyes.

"Look, even though were buds in the past, I won't go betraying my master," KO hissed as Turpitude raises a brow.

"But you didn't betray your friends, isn't Caitlyn, like a friend to you?" KO growled. "Heh, you will betray them, like you did thousand years ago because you love the power of the darkness KO," smiled Turpitude as he circle around her.

"KO, you can't help the way you feel. You want to be with Draciel don't you?" KO looked at Draciel, as she wore surprise and shocking expression. "Remember what promise her?" KO closed her eyes as the memory of Draciel dying was still fresh in her mind. "That when you guys meet, you well be together again?"

"Turpitude, don't push me..." KO muttered.

"Push? KO, I gave you everything you ever wanted! And a second as well! Do you think it really was the Starlights who had found you? You owe me..." Turpitude hissed as KO looked at Turpitude broadly.

"I owe you nothing Turpitude, what happen in the past is the past. I won't followed your way again," said KO.

"Fool!" Turpitude growled as KO looked over to the side. "Then be it! Go to your wrench humans! Even though they are destroy the ever planet we live on. It's their fault that they earth is dying! Just remember that..." Turpitude turned away as a dark portal open before him. He walked into it as it disappears. KO rolled her eyes as she snapped her fingers. The darkness disappears as time was back to normal.

"Bastard..." KO shook her head as she turns to Draciel, who looked around with a confused look.

"What happen? And where is the demon?" wonder Draciel as KO smiled softly. She walked over to her mate and helped her up. "KO? What's wrong?" KO took Draciel's hand and kissed her fingers.

"There is something I must do, but I'll wait here with you for the others to come," KO mutter softly as she sucked on the tip of Draciel's fingers.

"Alright..." Draciel had a sad look as KO careless her hand, which made her blush.

"Don't look like that baby. You know I don't like it when your sad," spoke KO as Draciel took a step closer to KO. KO wrapped her arms around Draciel as Draciel silently cry on her shoulder.

"I hope you make the right choice..." KO's eyes flash open wide as Draciel spoke those words.

Mean while....

On the ship, Linn stretched out as she rest her arm on the top of the couch that she and Unicolyon sighed happily and leaned against Linn.

"Man, don't you bit beast serve coffee on here?" wonder Linn as Daichi rolled his eyes.

"And what about the closing performances?" asked Emily as Ladycat came over to Linn and handed her cup of coffee.

"Uh, thanks dear, I was only joking..." Linn felt bad as she took the cup from Ladycat.

"None sense, and I believe Mimi well take care of the closing of the show," said Ladycat.

"How?"

"She would either call up the other bodyguards of the Starlights and get them to perform or she would use computer technology," Ladycat stated as Linn and Daichi stared at her blankly.

"I might be a bit beast, but I do know a thing or two about today's technology," said Ladycat as she walked over to the desk she was sitting at. Emily sighed as she walked over to the window and looked out. She lightly touches the window and tilled her head.

"Hey what's up Emily?" asked Mariah. Emily smiled softly as she turn to face the others.

"You know, when I join the NBB fan club. I just couldn't wait to spend time with the band, then I began to think. It was just probably going to be some practices and a party, but this... I have never except this," Emily spoke softly as Linn and Daichi looked at each and smiled.

"Well darling, this aren't always this complancated, but sometimes we party," smiled Linn.

"Yeah, Demon hunting is just one of the many things we do," grinned Daichi as Linn sipped more of her coffee.

"Well what else do you do?" asked Emily. Daichi was caught off guard by the question as he began to think.

"We work, train, taking schooling on line, practice, demon hunting, and uh..." Daichi stopped for a moment. "Oh yes and we visit the kids or they visit us!" Daichi smiled as Mariah, Tala, Emily, and Linn all looked at him.

"You have kids?" said Robert who was drinking tea. Oliver was playing chess with Enquire as Johnny was reading the newspaper.

"Uh yes, of course we have kids. There is Takao, who looks a lot like Kai, but has Tyson's personality. Yuri, who looks like Tala, but has Caitlyn's creativity. Rei has both of his parent's looks, and is a little emotional. Chibi Kai, who is actually a mini vision of Kai himself, but he is the hot head out of the group. Let's see, there is also Maxis, who is a female vision of Max, and Dandy. He's a bit hyper active... I'm surprise we didn't see them at the palace," said Daichi as they all blinked. Then they all stared at Tala.

"What?"

"You had a child with Caitlyn?" questioned Robert as Tala blushed and yelled he didn't.

"Oh, did I forget to mention, these are demon children. They are in preteens now." said Daichi (see! I didn't forget the children smiles)

"Demon children?" Emily questioned.

"Caitlyn or Tyson, well tell you. They explain it a lot better then me and Daichi could," said Linn as Daichi got a sweat drop.

"Linn.. do you have a child?" wonder Unicolyon.

"What? no, of course not! But someday I wish," smiled Linn as Unicolyon's eyes twinkle. She hugged Linn, who blush slightly.

"I knew a chosen a good mate!" Linn groaned.

"By the way Unicolyon, how long have you been around?" asked Ladycat. Unicolyon looked at her as she thought about it.

"Lets see, umm I been around for 1600 years, am I right Oliver dear?" asked Unicolyon as Oliver nodded.

"Good, then would you know anything about the ancient times when all bit beast, humans and Demons lived in peace?" asked Ladycat as she stood up and walked over to the pink bit beast.

"Um, let's see, well I know there was a palace, and I think that was Crystal palace. I'm not very sure, Griffolyon, what were the traditions back then?" asked Unicolyon.

"Well ever since the grand council made that new mating law. Things got out of hand," grunted Griffolyon.

"New mating law?" Unicolyon blinked in confusion.

"Yes, that only you were allows to mate with someone with in your same element. This had brought a great discomfort amongst the demons and Bit beast. And the humans who had magical powers, which I believe were the Starlights and their army," said Griffolyon.

"Really? Then happen?" wonder Linn as Ladycat sighed sadly.

"Well, there were many couples curse and destroy. And there is two I remember," Griffolyon looked over at Ladycat as did everyone else. "Yes, it was like it happens yesterday. I was a young lad, and so was Seaborg, well the memories of the past that is," said Griffolyon.

"Ladycat was upset when she heard the news about the new law, if I'm not mistake, but you don't have your memories do you..." said Griffolyon.

"Yes..." Ladycat said sadly. "As I came into this world, I was left with no memories, but I was filled with hatred and wanted revenge," Ladycat mutter bitterly.

"Yes, and I believe your lover was Ignatius," Ladycat had caught her breath as she clench her fist. "He agrees on the law because he thought you loved another," Griffolyon spoke softly as Ladycat shook slightly. Even though she didn't have her memories, each time she heard that name, she was filled with different emotions.

"But Ignatius didn't want the law, so his grandfather talked him into it as I heard. Young Dranzer also suffer from the law as well. Ignatius was her uncle and elder. One who is supposes to follow the law, but no. He and Ladycat rejoice in one stand as the council had punish them and everyone in their element...."

"What was the punishment?" wonder Unicolyon.

"For all those to be the animal they transform in. They could never be human..." Ladycat muttered coldly as the memories began to come back as the rain started to fall.

"I was upset... I couldn't believe my guardians would agreed to such a thing. They also bash us part..." Ladycat whimper as Griffolyon kept an eye on her.

"But there is bit beast today under your element able to come transform into their human state," said Unicolyon.

"Yes, that's after I got my revenge on the my guardians..." Ladycat closed her eyes tightly as she fell to the floor weeping.

"And who were your guardians..." Daichi dared to asked as Ladycat looked up at him. His eyes widen as he couldn't believe it. "They were.... The Starlights... weren't they, that's why Caitlyn's parents are dead! That's why her sister had hated her. She had unlock your spirit and you took over her body!" Linn's eyes widen as Unicolyon gasped.

"I was angry damn it! I wanted my revenge!" cried Ladycat as Daichi looked down at her. It was this bit beast, who had cause his dear loved to suffer.

"But that's not all did, was it..." Ladycat broken into a sob. "Tell me! Is this evil your fault too! TELL ME!"

"It is!" Ladycat yelled at Daichi as everyone stared at Ladycat in surprise. "I killed my master's parents with her hands. And I unlash the demon, which now is after the diamond! But with the help of my brother. He took over Tyson's body as he killed his mother."

"But your job to protect your master," said Daichi.

"I'm a fucking elder! I don't need a master!" sobbed Ladycat. "I never meant to chosen one, but since they locked me into this form, I had to. I took pity on Caitlyn, and became her Bitbeast..." Ladycat held herself.

"You didn't pity her, she had the power for you to become human. She and Tyson as well, but since she was a girl. She able to transform into your human form, that's why you stayed with her, didn't you?"

"SHUT UP! JUST SHUT UP! I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT!" Ladycat slammed her fist to the floor as Daichi was going to say something. He was frozen over by darkness as everyone else around Ladycat was. "I just wanted to be with Ignatius, was that so much to ask?" Ladycat waited for a reply as she looked up. "Huh? What the?" Ladycat quickly stood up and rushed over to the window. ".... KO... You were also a elder and wanted revenge as well. What have I done..." Ladycat cried.

"Hey what's going on! Why the hell is everything stopped?" Salamulyon came rushing down to the main deck. Ladycat looked behind her and stared at Salamulyon with widen eyes.

"How can you-..."

"Ladycat, what has happen?" Ladycat gasped as she cover her mouth. "Ladycat..." Ladycat quickly bolted, as Salamulyon grabbed a hold of her as she pound his chest .

"Let me go! Let me go!" she cried out.

"Hey! stop it-" Ladycat stopped and took off his hat, bandana, and eye patch and threw them to the ground. Salamulyon stood before her, he had red spike hair, which looked to glow, and a soft features. "Are you going to-" Ladycat had slapped him. Salamulyon groaned as he turn to face her. " Are you done yet?" he asked her harshly.

"No, but go on..." She mutter bitterly as Salamulyon sighed as she looked away.

"Ladycat please... look at me," he said. She hissed as he grabbed a hold of her chin and force her to look at him. "Look, I couldn't let you know it was me because the council had found out, they could have destroy you," said Ignatius.

"So you lied to me? No wonder I felt a strange force from Johnny when Caitlyn first met him. It was you wasn't it!"

"Look, I'm sorry, I couldn't let you know," said Ignatius.

"So you made a deal with them didn't you..." Ignatius sighed. "Fuck! I fucking hate you!" Ladycat screech as she begin to punch his chest and started to cry again. "I hate you! I HATE YOU... Why...." Her punches weaken as she felt knees getting weak. Ignatius put his arms around her.

"I'm sorry, but it wasn't the council who I made a deal with," She slowly raise her head to look at up. "You don't remember much do you..." Ignatius smiled at her as he wipe her tears away with her thumb. "Do you remember a band of privates?" Ladycat slowly nodded her head. "I was second in the common along with elder of Metal. Turpitude had promises that one day we would be able to be with our love ones. Of course I didn't believe it at first, but the elder of metal had told me into it. Oh how I waited to see you again, and felt your presents from Caitlyn. I knew that he kept his promise, and look at you..."

Ladycat sniffled as stared up into his ruby colour eyes. They had lining of yellow around them. "You almost human, but I like you this way." Ignatius touch her cat ears as she dropped her gaze and stared at his chest. "They are so cute, heh, Ladycat?" Ladycat leaned against Ignatius and purred softly. Ignatius blushes as he feels Ladycat's breast and starts getting a nosebleed.

"Oh Ignatius..." Ladycat looks up at him. "This is... YOU PERVERT!" Ladycat slaps him so hard that he goes flying across the room. He noses his nose and chuckles weakly. "Don't talk to me if you're going to think that way!" hissed Ladycat as she began to walk away. Ignatius sighs as he so close on getting sum. He gathers up his things and becomes Salamulyon once again as the dark disappears in a blink of an eyes.

"And! Hey where did she go?" Daichi looked around and see Ignatius. "Hey, did you see where Ladycat went?"

"Uh... I think she went up to the deck," said Ignatius as Daichi raise a brow.

"Why is there a handprint on your cheek?" asked Daichi as Ignatius chucked weakly.

"Oh um... this it's uh... umm... got to go!" Ignatius disappears up the stairs as Daichi wonders as he looks at Linn, who shuggles her shoulder as Johnny mutters about having a weird Bitbeast.

Crystal Palace

Tyson runs down the hallway and burst through the doors as the rest of the group looks around.

"It appears to be a forest," said Ray as they slowly enter in more. Tyson looked around as Max walked pass him.

"Max?" Max walked over to pink little flower and smelt it.

"Hmm... someone has put a lot of care into garden," Max smiled softly as he reach up to touch the flower. "So pretty..." Kai, Tyson, and Ray looked at each other then over to Max.

"Uh Max? are you alright?" asked Ray. Max looked up from the flower and smiled at others.

"Yes, why wouldn't I?" Ray walked over to Max and put his hand to his forehead.

"Well you do seem kind of warm, hey guys, what do you say we stay in here for the tonight?" asked Ray.

"Oh can we! Please?" asked Max as Ray got a sweat drop.

"Well Tyson, this is your call," said Kai.

"Hey wait for us!" They all looked down the hallway of the open door. Dranzer, Dragoon and Driger came flying in as the door slam shut and closed behind them.

"Well, I guess now we don't have a choice," said Tyson as Kai got a sweat drop and groaned. Dranzer growled as she pushed Dragoon and Driger off of her. Then when she looked around, her eyes widen.

"This place..."

"Yeah beautiful! Isn't it?" Max sighed heavenly as Dranzer got a sweat drop.

"Man, there is no doubt that you're gay," Dranzer mutter until she felt Dragoon's feelings. "Dragoon is everything okay?" Dragoon looked around as Driger looked at him.

"Someone or something is watching us..." Dragoon's eyes shifted.

"Well no kidding!" said Tyson as Dragoon looked at his master.

"No, I'm not talking about your mother, but we should go looked for a safe place to hide," said Dragoon as he stood up and began to walk. The others looked at each other and followed. As they walked, Max was cling onto Ray's arm and kept on pointing at the different kinds of flowers as Ray chuckled weakly. "Sh!" They all stop and listen.

"Why is everyone quiet?" asked Max.

"Can't you hear it?" wonder Dragoon.

"Hear what?" wonder Max.

"Shut up! I think I hear what Dragoon is hearing," said Kai. They all blinked as he walked into the bushes motioning for the others to follow. Soon they began to hear guitar playing.

Walking further in, and stop. There sitting on a sun flower was animal like vision of preteen Kai. He had rabbit ears and somewhat of feet. He also had the shark fins on his face as wing appear and blew is scarf giving the view a drama look because he a sad playing a song and singing softly to himself.

"Can I help you?" He asked, which startle the group as they were well hidden in the bushes. The boy continue to play as he glance up and sighed. "You might as well come out before the forest attacks you."

"What the hell?" There was a snap of whip sound as Tyson coming running out of the bushes rubbing his sore bottom.

"Why hello Father," smiled the boy as Tyson looked at the kid and smiled softly.

"Kaiko.... is this your bedroom?" wonder Tyson as boy name Kaiko smiled.

"No, I come here to relax, so are your friends coming or is the garden going to have to attack them?" wonder Kaiko. In flash they were all in the clearing as Tyson got a sweat drop and grumble about being whipped.

"Hey, I know you!" said Dranzer as she walked over to the boy. He gave her a small smiled. "You Caitlyn's demon kid, but... didn't you have neko features?" wonder Dranzer as she looked over the Kaiko.

"Neko features," they it hit them all as Driger and Dragoon looked somewhat confused.

"Uh yes, neko Kai, were you known as," said Ray as he walked over to Kaiko, who rolled his eyes.

"Yes well or as chibi Kai, but since the tournament, I and my brothers have been reformatted and I'm known as Kaiko now," said the boy.

"You sure grown," said Tyson as he looked over at the boy.

"Yes well, with these animal parts, it forces my body to grown, and I'm only four years old in human age, almost getting year old for demons, but it well be a while for my demon powers to kick in. Would you guys like to sleep?" wonder Kaiko.

"No, we are trying get away from grandma and get to Caitlyn!" blurted Tyson.

"Get to Caitlyn? She here?" Kaiko looked slightly confused. Tyson nodded. "My, my isn't that interesting. Well this room is very special, it's protected so that demons and angels can't enter, so you don't have to worry about Grandma, but where is Caitlyn?" wonder Kaiko.

"Well, I'm not sure, we were hoping you could help us," said Dranzer as Kaiko sighed. Kai raise a brow, this kid was too much like him and it was creeping him out.

"Fine, follow me," Kaiko got up from his flower as he walked over to the bushes. He muttered something and a path appear before them as they stared in all. (Except Kaiko that is.) They walked down the path as Max and Ray looked at the strange plants. Dranzer walks beside Kaiko, which made Kai, raise a brow. "Okay were here," said Kaiko. They looked around. It was a lake, which seems to had go on forever as there was huge willow tree, which Kaiko sat on the roots.

"Okay, how is this suppose to help us find Caitlyn?" asked Dragoon as Kaiko glared at Dragoon.

"Parentally, you don't understand the this palace," snapped Kaiko. Dragoon looked slightly surprise by Kaiko new attitude. "Show them what they want to see..." Kaiko muttered. A birdbath appear in front of them, which appear to be made out of vines as in the water looked to be a window. They leaned over and saw Caitlyn was laying in a bed and was glowing as the other starlight siblings seem to be busy. Meko was typing away as Jessie was keeping track of Caitlyn condition as Ashley talked to her father.

"But where is she?" wonder Tyson as he looked at Caitlyn's face as she looked to be in pain. Kaiko leaned against the tree truck as Dranzer looked at him worriedly.

"Are you alright?" Kaiko's eyes were gloss over as he stared at the image of Caitlyn.

"She not going to make it, is she..." Kaiko muttered as Dranzer sucked on her breath.

"Now don't say that, you must have faith," said Dranzer as Kaiko looked at her.

"Faith? Faith in what?" Kaiko hissed. Kaiko felt angry as he stood up. He begin to walk away as Dragoon called out to him as Dranzer told him to leave Kaiko alone.

"Hey! Are you even listening to me!" Dragoon grabbed a hold of Kaiko's arm. Kaiko looked at Dragoon and narrowed his eyes.

"Yes, but I wish to ignore you. Now if you please, you must sleep now!" Kai clench his teeth.

"Sleep! How can anyone sleep..." Dragoon's eyes rolled back as he fell into Kaiko's arms. The others fell onto the ground as Kaiko looked broadly at them as he narrowed his eyes.

"How pathetic, you wish to save her and yet you fall a sleep to the simplest spell, but you need it. All of you have been stressed." Kaiko dropped Dragoon to the floor as he walked over to Tyson. He got saddle on his hips as he tilled his head to the side. "You have been tainted by a demon..." Kaiko leaned over to he was above Tyson's face. "So beautiful and yet so fragile... You have so much angry within you, if you don't watch your self, it's going to explode... I wonder what Caitlyn would say to that, hmmm... Tell me father are you happy with your life? Does Kai make you happy? Are you even happy at all?" Kaiko smirked as he got up and left them to their dreams.
