Chapter 4

'Angry People are Special People'

Thank you again, Moonshine's Guide for your always appreciated reviews. This chapter is a little less on the drama side and more on the humor and fighting. CLUES ON THE PAST! Eh. I hate Remiel. I seriously do. Disclaimer: No, you actually think I would write this story. Nope do not own.

X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X

After the secret talk between Lloyd and Kratos, they joined us. "What were you talking about? Try to convince me to ask directions from a zombie so it wouldn't damage the men's ego?" I scoffed.

"No! We were talking about swords!" Lloyd yelled.

"Really, and I am a summon spirit." I muttered. Kratos stared at me curiously. His eyes seemed familiar. I shrugged it off and followed the shadows. A torch was up ahead and I summoned a fireball to my hand and shot it at the torch. It lit up with sparks galore. I sighed muttering about stupid blonde-haired people and brothers. Why you ask? Lloyd had already fallen more than twice and Colette… You really have to ask me. Colette trips over air.

"Colette, how many people have died here?" I asked. She looked shocked at me then smiled.

"None, silly, no one has ever died here!" She giggled.

"If that was true I would be a lovey dovey angel that wore a dress constantly and I would be the queen of light." I groaned. I shuddered at the pure mention of light.

Now ever since, I could see, I could see the spirits of the dead. Yeah, I know weird as all knows. Well there were so many fucking souls here it was amazing that an angel would die of the light. Lloyd didn't know about that power but Dirk did. One of the few things that he knew and Lloyd didn't. I sometimes would communicate with them and help them move on. No matter how many people died or rose from the dead, I wouldn't flinch. I have seen death too many times to actually give a flying blond latex dude.

Curious (Lloyd, Colette, Kratos) and shocked looks (Genis) were thrown at me from the other four but I did not care. Maybe I could tell them one day to move on. I had to do that too many times for my own liking. I sighed again and looked around. I saw another torch and we were about to pass the last torch that I had just lit. I stuck my hand onto the burning flames and ignored the gasp I heard behind me. I rolled my eyes as the dancing flames licked my hand as I flung the flames to the other torch.

"Good you are getting better Neko." Kasai grinned. I nodded and kept quiet.

I felt someone watching me. I glanced around and stared at the ceiling. A staircase led downstairs. I blinked and stared curiously. The Martel Temple had an underground floor or floors. I shrugged and flipped over the railing and landing on the stairs. I walked forward growling about stair-crazed maniacs.

'Kit, there are so many souls here! Can't you let me out? In addition, I want to purge this holy place of the souls.' A purr resounded in my head. I started to giggle evilly at her. She kept pleading giving me outrageous reasons to let her out. Gobi was banging his head against a wall. I started to laugh when she moved to why I owe her money and ice cream.

"You owe me money because I had to sit through that boring ass song! Gobi is a bastard!" A rock flew nowhere and hit Nibi upside the head. Now I was able to see all of this. A panther was upside down twitching while Gobi screeched at her saying she was a girl. At this time, I was leaning up against a wall laughing my ass off.

Lloyd sighed and muttered something about having a lunatic as a sister. Colette and the others were staring at me as if I just confessed that Kratos was a preppy girl in disguise.

"Gobi is a cheese wheel!" I gasped out. Lloyd sighed and banged his fist against the top of my head.

"Don't hit me!" I whined childishly.

"Why not?" Lloyd asked.

"Because the voices are making me laugh and generally being gender confused as one of the voices is laughing her ass off and calling the other one a guy when she really is a girl. So all the other voices are yelling for them to fight as I cause a wildfire to explode. While they all run from a Goth Colette as they scream 'Save the cheese wheels!' and pick up Gobi and run around screaming." I shrugged casually.

"I'm scared." Genis squeaked.

"Atamagaokashii." Kratos muttered. I squealed and hugged Kratos.

"Arigato kono yaro!" I squealed. He was twitching while the others watching in awe. I giggled and ran down the stairs yelling, "I have a death wish! Grant it, dammit!" Lloyd sighed and ran after me. I jumped over a boulder and down another set of stairs. Another floor lay under the first with spaces that looked like the dropped into nothingness. I grinned and bolted over them almost missing two. I grinned and walked up a flight of stairs. A ring lay on a pillar of some kind.

I sighed and poked it. No alarms or anything went off so I picked it up and put it on my hand. The others ran up the stairs.

"You do know you guys are slower than a box of dead rats, right?" I asked. My stomach growled slightly. "Dammit, now I'm hungry for mice and rabbits." I muttered. Genis looked like he was going to hurl. "Okay! I have now got the ring of many wonders!" I growled. "What now a dance contest?"

"What does dancing have to do with the temple?" Colette asked.

I gaped at her for about a minute and then screamed "DO EVER TEACH THE FUCKING CHILDREN SARCASM! THIS IS ALMOST AS BAD AS THE OLD HAG IS! COME ON! MY GOD HOW HARD IS IT TO UNDERSTAND MY SARCASM! I SWEAR IF I HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS MUCH LONGER KRATOS AND RAINE ARE GOING TO DIE IN A ROOM FULL OF BUNNIES AND BOY CRAZY PREPS!" Kasai stared at me for a few seconds and sighed. She was normally a quiet cat around other people but with me, she could talk all day. I sighed and left the deaf group with Kasai trailing behind me.

My left eye burned like hell! I mean burn like if you stuck your hand in acid burn. I kept rubbing my eye muttering 'Ow' every few seconds. "Kasai my left eye is killing me. I swear dead or not I am going to poke someone with a sword if it does not stop soon." I hissed. She chuckled and we turned to go up the stairs.

"The stars just love to torture you. You are their little kitty suffering the world. Aw, they just love you!" Kasai meowed. Lloyd who magically regained his hearing, laughed. I yowled like a wild animal and stabbed Lloyd with my finger.

"Shut up if you value your life. It is a long walk from the darkest pits of hell! I know I walked a bunch of times looking for my opponent in paintball. I swear I will put you down so below the core of Sylvarant your eyes will pop out of your fucking head. You. Got. It. Brother. And. Friends." I stabbed him with my finger in every single word in the last sentence muttering when I turned back around. Oh, I am just so pissed. What am I the Chosen of the stars! Great so I am the Chosen of hell and the sacrificial lamb… uh, cat for the Stars.

I stalked across the holed platform up top and up the stairs to the temple. I almost fell over in my tracks when I saw the preacher spirit from earlier when he died, I hissed. I do not like holy spirits, one of my many weaknesses. Yeah, I have many weaknesses. I am weak. I shut down at the mere mention of my children and husband. Men, well of course, I am afraid of them. I thought for a minute and wondered why I was not running for the high hills from Kratos and Lloyd. I did not fear my brother, uh, much and Genis I could take. I do not fear women or girls. Kratos just seems to be different.

I stopped my thought as we reached the blocked door. I held the ring at the door and imagined it breaking. A small fireball broke the lock and the thing crumbled to pieces. I glared at the light spirit that now to a liking to following Colette. I handed the ring to Lloyd and walked to the warp gate. Now I hate warp gates. I really do. Kasai jumped into my arms as we stepped on the warp panel. The light erupted as it strung me as if I was a demonic rubber band to the upper floor. I moved off and Kasai jumped down.

A floaty mass of mana sat on an altar that frankly was so weird. I am sorry but come on. Metal engravings of angelic symbols and steps that flowed up. It was quite big and the top looked like a mini frosted glass. I understand if this was normal. This was a different contrast to the dusty old bricks and old windows. I blinked and inspected the altar again. It looked like a weird cross between magitechnology and a preppy girl affinity with her boyfriend embossed in metal. I shivered.

During my accusations, I failed to notice Genis and the others come up. Colette stood up to the altar and recited a prayer. Swirly lights. Must resist chasing. Must resist killing all that is good. Must resist threatening angel. I kept reciting to myself.

Light flew down and surrounded the Chosen as she put her hand around her neck. I kept reciting my mantra while looking at the ground. The oracle was a male angel. I growled lowly which caused him to glance over to me. He then ignored and finished talking to Colette. I was silent not gasping in awe (Lloyd and Genis) or being a weird unemotional purple fuzzball. (Do I really have to say who that was?) No, I being the invisible one was twitching as if I had a seizure. I gritted my teeth. What was happening?

My left eye was not burning but it felt like I was going to die. I opened my eyes and held back a gasp. I looked around wildly. Everyone had disappeared. The oracle, my brother, Kratos, Genis, Colette, and Kasai. I was not in the oracle room I was in a grassy field.

"Help them. Please stop this!" A young woman stood in front of me.

She had long green hair and wore weird clothes. She held a wooden staff as tall as her. I blinked, who is she? She kept repeating the same thing repeatedly. The wind whipped around me as another voice startled me.

"Sister! They are against us! We are half-elves! They are humans they hate us! They deserve this!" A male voice screamed.

The girl's green eyes became glassy and she started to cry running away from the brother I could not see. I was now next to the girl. She was on a rock crying.

"Why? Please tell me why brother has become so bloodthirsty! What is taking over him? Please let him come back. Don't let my little brother hurt anyone." She sobbed into her arms.

The animals seemed to share her pain as she sat crying. The earth tried to please her with flowers but she cried even more. I was heartbroken. I grasped my heart surprised that I could feel even a tiny bit of that emotion left as I tried so hard to get rid of it.

"Please don't cry. Your brother will return." I said softly.

She looked over to me and her eyes widened. "Are you sure?"

I blinked quickly. How could she see me? "If I can do anything about it he will return." I answered.

This girl was kindhearted and shared the same burden of seeing the souls. "The mark under your eye is of the stars power. Are you an angel?" She sounded full of hope. The stars can do that to anyone if they believe.

I smiled and sat down next to her. "No I am not an angel. I am a mother and a child. Nothing more nothing less."

She shook her head. "You look to wise. My brother can you help him?"

"I'll try. I promise."

I blinked and I was back in the temple. Colette was turning around to Lloyd and Genis who were smiling. Kratos was staring at something. I looked back at Colette and saw the blood colored glorified piece of crap hanging from her neck. Okay that so did not match with her cheery clothes.

"Hope you have fun on the Regeneration journey." I held back a chuckle from how stupid I made that sound since I did not believe in the Goddess Martel. I sighed quietly as Kasai jumped into my arms again. We made our way to the warp panel and disappeared before anyone could object. Once we were down to the lower level, I looked to the ceiling and sighed.

"Kasai, I just had the weirdest vision of this month." I told her quietly.

"Really? Was it from the stars?"

"No, it was from a young woman, she knew about the stars. She could hear me too."

"That is not possible."

"Anything is possible you just have to die for it."

"Nice philosophy." Kasai said dryly.

I glared at her playfully and we walked out of the retirement home and left into the forest. Once we were far enough away from the temple, I pulled my hood down wincing from the sudden light. I looked up to the birds flying overhead and the squirrels jumping from tree to tree. I sighed slightly and climbed into a tree. Kasai followed as we jumped through the trees making sure to stay in the shadows. We passed Iselia and the human ranch by half an hour. I flung my hood up and scrambled down the tree.

We were back at Dirk's and Noishe greeted me with his happy bark. I patted him on the head. He turned into the forest and took off for Lloyd. I smiled and walked over to my mothers' grave. I sat down in front of the white stones and I put my hands together. I concentrated to the fences surrounding the grave as white flowered vines grew and wrapped around the wood. I exhaled and fell onto my back. An amused growl sounded through my head, signaling Gobi was pleased.

"Who is her brother?" I asked myself aloud.

My answer was only the wind as it blew the leaves in front of me. I stood up and smiled to the grave. Kasai was hunting from the smell of fresh-kill. I disappeared to my place. Hidden by a veil of darkness. I stepped through the tree hiding my place. A statue stood of my mother. A small cabin stood close to the pond. I ran in and grinned. I jumped on the small bed and stared around at my drawings. Mother, Lloyd, the warriors of Moonclan.

I grabbed a bag full of drawing supplies and put a spell that Genis showed me. It summons weapons and items to you over a path of 2 feet. Of course, Moonclan had a stronger version. I grinned as it disappeared into flames hidden until I called. I sighed and walked outside again. I would train tonight here. Kasai and my brother would sleep while of course stay wide freakin awake. I whined and walked back to the tree where the outside world awaited. I loved this place. Secret from everyone but me. I ran out and ran to the house. I sighed and looked up. It was sunset. I jumped onto the rooftop and stood staring at the setting sun. I sighed sadly. Dragoneye, your husband would sit up and watch this. I smiled and listened to the earth. What do I hear?

Dirk and Lloyd arguing again. It was about the Exsphere that brother had and how the Desians were after mom. Do not get me wrong, I want to kill the Desians but Lloyd should use it anytime he wants. Mother passed onto him. I heard footsteps and talking. I looked to the small trail that led to the house and saw purple and white.

"I'm gonna go for the obvious leap that anyone would be stupid enough to not know it is Kratos and Colette." I groaned. "No, it is a flying monkey and a bastard. Wow still in the wrong assumption I still got Kratos right." I sighed and jumped down and kicked open the door. "STOP YOUR DAMN ASS BICKERING YOU FUCKING MORONS!" I screamed.

The fell over and ceased fighting. Yeah, that was the normal way I got them to stop fighting. This could go on for hours, and I mean hours. I sighed and pinched the base of my nose.

"Can I not leave someone for 5 minutes without yelling at them when I come back? Sheesh, it is as if everyone is having a wonderful birthday party with somehow having a baby shower thrown right in the day. With all this yelling it, sounds like a bar-fight with drunken angels that want to take over the word. Listen, Angry people are special people. They need hugs and sharp objects! That is always why I carry a katana. It makes it easier to poke people eyes out, carve them out like apiece of wood, stab them, scare them, or jump around like a maniac. That makes me happy… wait what were we talking about again?"

This conversation took about a few minutes causing everything and everyone to silence and look at me. Lloyd and Dirk staring at me with chibi eyes (A/N: Think about it DIRK WITH CHIBI EYES! MUWAHAHAAHAHAHAHA!) Colette was smiling obliviously, Genis was shaking behind Raine, Raine stared at me as if I was on was crack, Kratos stifling laughter behind his hand, and Kasai laughing her ass off.

"You know what I would really like right now? I want a jacket. Not one of those flimsy ones. No a straight jacket. I feel special because I get to hug myself." I muttered obliviously. Kasai went into another fit of giggles and Kratos had an amused smirk. I shrugged and fell to the ground laughing as if I was an insane looney. Of course, they all thought I was insane. I felt happy if only for a moment. Noishe whined and snapped me out of it and I flipped up.

"You want some food, hound?" He howled and I walked over to his pen. I sighed and walked in leaving Lloyd to talk to Colette and the others. Noishe barked happily, as I put is food in his dish. I slipped some bird meat into the dish and walked out. Raine was talking to Genis, Lloyd was talking to Colette upstairs, and fuzzball I could not see. I walked around to mom's grave and he was kneeled by it. I narrowed my eyes.

"Anna." He whispered.

I hid up against the shadows and stood still.

"I found them, and I'm sorry. I am so sorry." He whispered.

He must have known my mother. Maybe, I will ask him about it. I shrugged and left. I went up to my room and I heard Colette talking about her birthday. I slapped my head. I pulled out a small silver bracelet with a blue cat's eye gem. I grinned. Perfect, a tracker bracelet helped her out if she needed it. She walked out of the room smiling. I sweatdropped and left it alone.

"Hey Colette I got a present for you." I told her. She squealed and her eyes brightened up with stars. I screamed bloody murder and ran out of the house her trailing behind me. I hid behind Kratos.

Everyone turned to stare at me. Well I do not really blame them. A girl who screamed bloody murder should get some stares.

"Oh, I am so sorry Neko!" She gasped.

"I will give you the present as long as I do not get a hug or a squeal. I have sensitive ears and a bubble. No Kratos I do not care about anyone else's bubble so shut it." He glared at me. "What I answered it." I jumped up and handed Colette the bracelet.

"It is so pretty!" She smiled.

"Hold the gem up to the moonlight." She did so and the rays bounced over the yard. A dark red, a blue, and a light blue. "The red is for Lloyd, the blue is for me, and the light blue is Genis." She smiled and put it on her wrist. I grinned and patted her head. "Well time for me to train. See ya." I ran straight up a tree and flipped up into the air. I was next to the moon as I grinned and soared downwards. "Time to train."
