"Keto this is the third time this YEAR you have been sent to us for mixing op your phases." One of the elders said. Keto was in the demon court of elders again. He knew as did all the other demons not to mix phases, by doing that it would scare the humans. He hadn't meant to mix his phases again, he was trying to get away from Todd, a human child intent on harassing him to no end. He went into his demon phase to escape the 18 year old, him being only 16. After doing that Todd had thrown him of the waterfall. He didn't know how they got mixed. This time it wasn't his fault. Keto had already told the elders this and was waiting for hid punishment to be decided. "We have come to a decision, you will not be punished this time, because it was not your fault. Take this it will convert you back to your human phase." With that the elder handed Keto a yellowish cup, with a murky green liquid inside. Keto managed to gag the substance down. "One would think you liked this drink considering how many times you've had it."
"I do not like that… that…that stuff whatever you call it. It's disgusting…" Keto kept on grumbling while he headed out the door. The elders just shook their heads. If any of the villagers needed cheering up all they did was bring them Keto and Jet.
As soon as Keto walked outside, Jet walked up to him with a knowing smirk on his face. "Let me guess, Hm… you've been kicked out of your house again." Keto asked laughter in his eyes as he gazed at the pyro in front of him.
"I wouldn't say that. How 'bout my parents gave me a little vacation time away from home. You know I do spend too much time there as it is. Plus how you say it. It sounds like I did something bad. I like the vacation one better. Yeah much better." Jet finished off talking to himself, grinning madly. Keto was rolling on the ground laughing.
"Yeah, you're home so much you're never there. Jet, how are you going to pull that one off. You're always with me." Keto laughed standing up and brushing the dirt off his cloths.
"Just like I'm the only reason why my parents don't want anymore kids." Jet countered.
"Jet 'you are the reason'. Hello where have you been in the past 16 years, your own little world." Keto replied. Jet scowled at this little remark.
"So that just makes me lucky, I smell food, come on lets go before it's all gone." Jet raced off towards Ketos house.
"Wait," Keto voice went deaf to Jets ears. So he took off muttering how stupid Jet was. 'Never listens to anything anyone says,' Keto thought shaking his head, causing his blonde bangs to mix with the black. He hated it when his hair mixed, he always kept them apart. Jet's the only person other than his parents that had seen his hair mixed. Jet had just laughed the whole night. Making Keto just about kill him. Jet knew all of his secrets. One that could kill both of them if any knew. Keto was a rare type of cat demon. Normally a cat demon only had 2 phases human and a domestic cat like form. Keto had 3. The normal 2 phases, plus a leopard phase.
"Hey, Kitten what's taking so long, never knew you liked cat food that much. Well, if you don't hurry up then that's all you are going to get." Jets voice echoed throughout the village. Keto face was stricken to horrid and he raced of to his house as fast as he could. Never again would Jet feed him cat food the stuff was disgusting, more disgusting than the stuff the elder gave him to de-mix his phases.
As soon as he opened the door Jet pounced on him waving a bag of catnip in his left hand, and a cat bowl in his other. "Hey, Kitten you're late, as usually. And your punishment will be, either cat food from the can (At this Keto started gagging) or catnip pizza your choice."
Keto just stared at the pyro like he had two heads. 'Why must I be tortured like this' Keto thought. "Um… is there another option like real food." Keto snapped which eared him a smirk from his capture."What doesn't the kitten like cat food anymore, here why don't we combine them and have a cat food and catnip pizza, don't worry you'll love it." Jet said smirking slyly. He knew how much Keto hated being treated like a cat, just one of the many disadvantaged that Keto had and he didn't. Not that he minded. He loved it, just like he loved getting on his nerves. "Well…"
A loud sound was heard from outside making both boys scramble to their feet to see what was happening. As soon as they had gone out side they were met with a scene that they would never forget. Blood lay everwhere, bodies scattered across the town. Keto let an involuntary whimper at the sight of his parents.
"Jet" Keto wined "What happened here" Keto turned his eyes on Jet who in turn looked down to look at him.
"I don't know Keto, I don't know." Another noise was heard, as a shadow like beast came out of the forest. Wolf demons were running around destroying everything in sight. Keto's anger got the best on him and he phased into his leopard form at started to chase after the wolf. Jets "Wait Keto" went unheard as Keto was blinded by his anger. Keto had fallen in their trap, there was no way he could get out as the wolf demons surrounded him, but he still tried to fight even as his body gave into the dark that had been holding him so tight. Ketos body went limp, and the wolf started to drag him away, if not for the spark of fire that circled Ketos body as Jet ran over to his friend, panic evident of his face, but because of his lack of interest in training his powers his flame had died down allowing the wolf to take Keto before he could get to him. After they had Keto they demon left leaving Jet there standing in the middle of a destroyed town, with everyone dead. 'No, I lost him I failed him', with that he fell to his knees. Jet turned around and ran away from the village; in the opposite direction the wolves took Keto. He couldn't face the cat demon not after failing him, Keto was as good as dead. He needed help and fast if he was to ever find his Kitten again. With destiny already drawn there was no hope for Jet to ever find Keto.
