Third chap is up! Ok, hopefully it's good so far. I'm trying my best to write this stuff in time but it's getting kind of hard already 'cause of writers block. Well, enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own Elphame's Choice or the other part of the story (which you'll have to find out 'cause I don't want to ruin it). Though I really wish I did...

Last time in Another World: "You called, my heart?" "Cut it out you fucking retard! I don't have time for games now let...me...GO!" "Do you think we should invite her to the castle?" "Ow...Sel... you're choking me... That hurts..." Kuri mumbled as she reached up with one hand and started choking Sel while with her other hand, she tried to loosen up Sel's tight grip.

Chapter 3 - A Second Home

Lochlan rushed over and pried Sel off of Kuri and tried his best to hold her back from attacking the other girl again. He watched as Elphame tried to hold Kuri back as well. When Etain and Duncan appeared from the bushes as well, Etain went next to her daughter and Duncan towards Lochlan. At the next moment, Lochlan gently squeezed Sel's sholder and she fell to the ground in a heap. Kuri looked at her sister wide-eyed, "What'dya do to my sis? Is she gonna be alright?"

"Yes, she'll be alright. I just knocked her out for a few hours or so just so there's no battle going on," Lochlan replied calmly. He looked at Duncan and the gaurd just nodded and picked up Sel with ease. He was a bit shocked at how light the girl was but shrugged it off and followed the Fomorian towards the Goddess and the Beloved. "I think we should head back to the castle now."

Elphame just nodded and stood up next to her mother. The others started to head in the direction of the castle when Etain turned around and held out a hand, "C'mon, you've been invited to the MacCallan Castle. Do not fret, though, because everyone there is quite nice. Now, what do you say?"

Kuri just nodded and stood up without taking the offered and. She dusted herself off and ran to catch up to the others. She knew that this was going to be a new beginning for Sel, her friends, and herself...

They finally reached the edge of the forest and caught the site of the castle. They were near the boulders in which Elphame and the others were sitting at. So it wouldn't take that long to get to the castle itself. Everyone was quiet the whole entire time they were walking. Every now and then Kuri would get distracted by a flower, a bug, or sometimes even dust that she spotted.

When Kuri finally caught up to the others after staring at moss, she gasped at the sight she saw. A large ocean view and to the right, a huge castle that looked like it was still under construction. Though it looked like it was quite small from where she was from, she knew that once close enough, it would be a gihugic castle with lots of vines on it from ageing in the depths of the forest. But most of the wild life preserved the castle. And to a castle like that, Kuri just had to explore it. She was hoping to find many secret entrances and other stuff in there. All of the excitement that was running through her made her a bit too excited and she ran on ahead of the group just to check it out and she was running too fast for even Elphame to keep up. When she reached the gates of the castle, everyone that was working around there stopped just to look at her. Many many questions were running through there minds about her but she ignored them and stared at the castle in complete awe.

"This... this is amazing! I never thought I'd ever be able to see a castle so close up!" She up to the castle and touched it. A slight power surged through her and she tried to catch her breath when it was over. Kuri jumped when she heard someone come walking up to her and put their hand on her shoulder. When she turned around, she saw a centaur standing right infront of her. His hand felt a bit heavy on her shoulder but she ignored it. She stared up at him with wide eyes.

"These walls welcome you, young one," said the old centaur in a deep voice. All she could do was nod at continue staring at him. All he did was smile warmly at her and then he started speaking again, "The name's Danann. This is MacCallan castle. Who're you and what brings you here, young one?"

Kuri was just about to answer the centaur but then the sound of hoofbeats was heard just beyond the newly made gate and a young warrior and a large flock of Fomorians were heading their way. Kuri watched in complete awe as she saw more of the demon looking things. She didn't know what they were but she just stared anyways. She saw two of the winged creatures on either side of the warrior and they were both twins. The only difference between them were the color of their eyes and the way their bodies were shaped. As the warrior and the two demons approched Danann, Kuri stared at their wings and the warrior started speaking, "Where is my sister?"

"They went off on a walk with the Beloved of Epona," Danann replied smoothly. He didn't seem to find the demons different than himself.

The warrior gasped and looked at the old centaur, "Mother's here!" He paused for a minute then cleared his throat and continued, "Where shall I escort the Fomorians to?"

Danann and the warrior continued speaking and the two demons seemed entranced by the conversation. Kuri just shrugged it off and looked up at the walls of the castle. She grinned and started climbing up the side of the wall without an ease. Making sure that she got a hold of the most sturdiest parts of the wall, she looked around. When she was almost halfway up the wall of the castle there was yelling from down below. "Hey there! What do you think you're doing? Trying to get yourself killed?"

Kuri just shook her head and looked down. She looked around at the crowd that had gathered whens he was climbing up. Everyone had such a shocked looking on their faces that Kuri just stared laughing. But then, a voice and interupted her little amusement as Sel started yelling up, "Damn you bitch! Get down here! You're gonna pay!"

The young girl just shrugged and jumped off of the side of the castle landing right between of Sel and the demon closest to her that stood beside the warrior. Walking slowly up to her sister, they were both glaring at eachother. There was practically electricity going on between them. The tension around the castle grew and Elphame and the other had just entered. A whirlwind encircled the two girls as both of their eyes started to glow red. The wind mostly surrounded Sel as she started to change, her claws grew out, her teeth sharpened and her kanine teeth grew longer, her hair turned white and ears popped out of her head. Kuri was surrounded by flames as she, too, started to change. The same exact things happened except she grew a tail out as well which were silver, her hair became black, and her outfit changed into what just seemed like wrags wrapped around her that looked like clothing. As the wind and flames started to dissipate, some flames stayed on the tips of Kuri's ears and tail. Everyone gasped as they saw what the two girls were. Sel and Kuri both got into their own fighting stances. Sel glared and Kuri just smirked. As they lunged into eachothers direction, they both pulled out swords from out of no where and sliced eachother. Sel got Kuri in the gut when Kuri only made a little slice along her right cheek. They both then tucked their swords away and made giant balls of energy and thrust them at one another. They both didn't get to reach eachother and it exploded in between. Before they could let out another attack, they were being held back by annoying pesks. Sel was being held back by Lochlan and Kuri was being held back by the twin demons.

"Let go of me damnit! She needs to be taught a fuckin' lesson!" Sel yelled out as she struggled against the Fomorians grip. Kuri was struggling a bit as well but for a different reason. She didn't like to be touched. But before another word could get out of either of their mouths, a dagger came flying out of no where and landed right in the center of the little battle.

Kuri started laughing and looked over at the trees, "Looks like Buttercup has come to stop us from getting into another bitch fight."

"How many times have I told you to stop calling me that? It's starting to get old..." The guy was now standing near them and was giving Kuri a death glare.

"What? I can't break my habits. But... if you don't want me calling you that, then how 'bout Haruka, hmm?" Kuri smiled and then started laughing but stopped when another dagger flew by and graced her cheek. And before she knew it, she was on the ground being choked by Sel yet again.

The guy just mumbled under his breath and walked up to Sel pulling her off of Kuri. Then he smacked her and knocked her out. He glared at Kuri once more, "You better not 'cause any trouble or it would be me trying to kill you." With that said, he walked off into the forest and disappeared.

Everyone was just staring in complete confusion as Kuri yelled out and waved, "Bai Sutasu-san! I'll be back at the bar as soon as possible!" She then turned around on her heal and appologized to everyone around her for all of the trouble they had caused for them. And if she frightened them, she didn't really care 'cause they were just humans afterall.. Then she turned to the warrior and bowed deeply, "Please forgive me and my sister. It's just the way we show affection to eachother and I didn't mean to cause you any trouble from whatever you people were doing. I hope you understand. I'll try my best not to get in the way again. Or, if you'd like, I can leave right now and go back to wherever the hell I came from."

The warrior just shook his head, "It's alright." He turned around to face his sister and his mother, "Where would you like me to put the Fomorians to so they can be healed?"

Brighid popped out of the door of the castle and yawned, "Follow me please but just be as quiet as possible. Some of the kids are still sleeping."

Elphame walked up to Kuri and tapped her on the shoulder. When Kuri spun around, it kind of startled the young goddess. She just smiled at her and waited for her to speak for whatever reason she had tapped her for, "What exactly, if I may ask, are you?"

"Oh, I'm Kurisuchinu. I'm a fire kitsune. It's a fire fox demon if you didn't know what I meant. But you don't have to be afraid of me. I don't bite that hard," she laughed softly as she saw some people take a small step back from her. Kuri didn't notice but the twins were still standing behind her but weren't touching her at all. She was wondering what they were doing so she turned around, hands on her hips, foot taping, and she looked at them, "What in the name of five hells do you want from me? And what the fuck are you?"

They took a step back as well and looked at eachother then back again. The tallest one of them decided to answer, "We don't exactly know. Since Cu didn't ask us to follow him, we decided to stay here near you just in case some kind of trouble came up. You and the Beloved are the guests here after all. And our race is known as Fomorians. At first we were banished from these lands in which our mothers have walked on and lived peacefully on. But then they got kidnapped and here is our new race of more human-like Fomorians. Thanks to the Goddess, we have been saved from madness."

Kuri gasped when she heard the words "kidnapped" and "maddness." She couldn't believe that anything like that would happen here 'cause it looked so peaceful. She looked around a bit and then looked back at them, "What kind of madness?"

A/N: Ok, I couldn't make it that long 'cause of my writers block. I haven't been in the mood or been able to get into the story again. So my appologies if this took so long to write and stuffs.
