Chapter 14- The Party Problem

"I am your ancestor."

"So, how are you alive?" Chris asked

"One's soul never dies, weathor it moves on, or rencarnates." The man said, "I have come from the next world to wish you luck, and to give you this." He hands Ray a green diamond, "This will allow you to use the Fusion Claw's true power. To creat a force so strong, it fuses light and dark energies into a very powerful claw slash. This is how to defeat Dargone once and for all. You must have perfected your teamwork by the end of the tornament. Good luck." The man dissappeared into thin air, and they were back by the graves.

"That wasn't the least bit weird." Chris said, sarcatically.

"We should be getting back." Ray said, and headed for the village. Chris followed him.

-The Air Port-

"There you are." Kenny said, as Ray and Chris came up, "Our plane leaves in hour."

"We already we through customs and everything." Ray said, "We're ready to board the plane."

"Wheres Tyson?" Chris asked, noticing everyone there, but Tyson.
"He'll be here in..." Hilary said, looking at her watch, "...5...4...3...2...1..."

"I"M HERE!"

"He must do this often." Chris said, sweatdropping.

"All the time." Kenny said

"You can set a clock by his lateness." Dizzi said

"Tyson, hurry and go through customs." Hilary said

"Right!" Tyson nodded, and ran off.

-An Hour Later-

Everyone was on the plane. Chris and Ray were sitting together, as were Tyson and Max, Hilary and Mitzie, and Kai and Kenny. The plane took off, and they found thinks to entertain themselves. Chris brought a portable DVD player, and watched a movie with Ray, Tyson, and Max, who were sitting behind them. Kai stared out the window, while Kenny typed on Dizzi and Hilary and Mitzie talked amungst themselves.

-The Air Port-

"So, this is Peurto Rico." Hilary said, "Its beautiful."

"Oh, no." Kenny said

"What is it, Cheif?" Max asked

"Mr. D never checked us into a hotel! We have no where to stay!" Kenny paniced

"No, I asked him not to check us into a hotel." Chris said

"Why?" Hilary asked

"Because we'll be staying somewhere more homely." Chris said, "Lets go, its quite a walk, but if we leave now we can make it before sunset."

"What! We have to walk! Where are we staying?" Kenny paniced, again

"With my family." Chris said, as a car pulled up.

"Hola!" said a short woman with short black hair, brown eyes, and light brown skin.

"Mom?" Chris said

"Mom!" Everyone else, minus Mitzie, said

"Yes, I decided to meet you at the air port when I got your call.!" said the woman, she ran up to Chris, and hugged him, "I missed you so much!" She had tears in her eyes.

"I missed you too." Chris said, returning the hug. "Can we get to the house, now?"

"Oh of course!" Chris's mom said, "First tell me about your friend. Hola, Mitzie."

"Hello, Jasmine." Mitzie said

"Mom, this is Max, Kai, Tyson, Hilary, Kenny, and Ray." Chris said

"Oh, the brother you found. Took you long enough to bring him home." Jasmine said, and hugged Ray, "Welcome to the family, Ray."

"Thanks." Ray said, not moving. "Um, Mrs. Jasmine."

"Please, don't be so formal. Call me Jasmine." Jasmine said, "And if you feel ready at any time, feel free to call me mom." Ray smiled.

"Now, lets go home." Jasmine said, draging Ray to the car, "I can't wait to hear all about you, Ray." Everyone else sweatdropped.

"Huh, lets go." Chris said, walking towards the car.

-An Hour Later-

"Man, this is your house?" Tyson asked, staring at the large house.

"Yeah, Granny had it built for us when mom decided she wanted to move here to raise me." Chris said

"Yeah, I didn't want to raise my son in the city." Jasmine said, "And besides, all of our family lives here. So, you all choose a room, and get washed up for dinner. We're having a fiesta!"

"A what?" Tyson asked

"A party." Chris said

-Later-

The house was full of people, all somehow releated to Chris. There were people of all ages, ranging from a few day old, to nearly a century old. Everyone of them was having a good time. Music blaring in the background, while some people were using instraments the team, minus Chris and Mitzie, had never seen before.

"What is this?" Tyson asked, eating, "This is so good!"
"Well, theres all sorts of stuff," Chris said, "Theres penil,empanadias, pastelles, arroz dulce, and that what your eating is comide de gatos."

"Wow, all this realy good!" Tyson said taking another bite. "Whats this called in english?"

"Cat food." Tyson's face paled. He swollowed the bit in his mouth.

"You're kidding, right?" Tyson asked, while everyone else was laughing.

"Nope, belongs to the cat." Chris said, as a white cat jumped onto his lap.

"Wheres the bathroom?" Tyson asked

"Right down there, first door on your right." Chris said, and Tyson ran off.

"Well, if it isn't fangs." said a man in his mid twenties. The cat hissed.
"Why are you here?" Chris asked, angrily.
"You think I would pass up a party?" the man said, "You're even more of a freak than I thought."
"Go away. Mic." Chris said

"No, and you can't make me!" Mic said

"Then I'll go away, and you go drown yourself." Chris said, and got up to walk away, but Mic grabbed his arm.

"You better watch yourself!" Mic said, "You don't even belong here! You shouldn't have been born!" Chris yanked his arm from Mic's grip, and punched him dead in his nose.
"Take that as a warning." Chris said, and walked off. Ray, Max, Kenny, Hilary, and Kai were close behind, and Tyson joined when he came out of the bathroom. They all went into a romm that appeared to belong to Chris.

"Who was that?" Hilary asked

"That was a cousin." Chris said, "One of the many who don't like me."

"Why?" Ras asked, "And why did he say you shouldn't be here?"

"Because my mom is infertile." Chris said, "She shouldn't have gotten pregnant with me. And thats also why they don't like me. They think I'm a demon, because of the fact I have fangs, and I can understand cats."

"Then how did she?" Max asked

"Beats me." Chris said

"What does infertile mean?" Tyson asked

"She can't have babies, Tyson." Hilary said

"Can you understand cats, Ray?" Tyson asked

"Yeah, its a Neko jin thing." Ray said(1)

"Chris, mi hijo, there you are." Jasmine said, "Did Mic pick on you again?"

"Like its new."

"Thats why you left, isn't it." Jasmine asked

"Amoung other things." Chris said, "They don't want me around, so why should I be?"

"I want you around." Jasmine said, "I missed you."
"I missed you, but I'm leaving as soon as the tournament here is over." Chris said

"I won't stop you, but promise me you'll come back, for a visit."

"Sure."

"And bring Ray." Jasmine said, and walked off before anyone could object.

End Chapter. Sorry about the wait, but I haven't had much inspiration lately.
