Chapter 6

'Oh, dandy'

Thanks for the reviews people. Well this chapter is where my friends like to call 'Where Neko gets her cool ass sword and wicked cards.' I stared at them and twitched. Thanks for all the reviews again people. Oh, warning: later in this chapter, it gets serious. Sorry. Had to put that in somewhere. Oh, Kratos and Neko get some bonding time.

Thank you of course, Moonshine's Guide and ChakatLunar for your wonderful reviews.

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

I stopped screaming and let out a whimper. "I am defeated." A sweatdrop fell on Kasai's head.

"Yeah. Genis is coming along with us." Lloyd said. I grinned.

"Okay. Let's go save little angel butterfly." Lloyd rolled his eyes and we waved to Dirk. He looked happy, sad, and confused at the same time.

"And they say women are confusing." I muttered.

Noishe grinned and nudged my back. I grinned and jumped on his back. We ran to the front of Iselia forest and set on our way to the Desert.

After we stopped at a House of Salvation and slept. The next morning we were in Triet. I was literally cooking in an oven. I am in a freaking black cloak and black clothes underneath. Yeah, I was just asking for a heat stroke. I saw the Desians and grabbed Lloyd and Genis behind a small animal pen. They pinned up something to a wall and left. I growled and walked over to the board.

I saw the worst drawing of Lloyd ever. Lloyd was gaping and twitching like a fish. Here is a description, a two year old can draw better and a blind monkey could draw better. I grabbed the flyer and burned it. I sighed and headed into the Inn.

Now I was completely and utterly bored. You could yell at me and you could see the words go in one ear and out the other. Kasai and I had trouble in the desert. Cats plus heat equals sleepy time.

The innkeeper was an old man. I slapped down 200 gald and he smiled. I waved back. He pointed to the two rooms on the top. Kasai and I walked up the stairs and chose the last room while Genis and Lloyd chose the first.

"Kasai, I am going to explore you can sleep, okay?" She smiled and jumped on the bed next to the corner. I closed the door and went to Lloyd's room.

I knocked, "Yo, going to explore see you in 40." I told them and left. I was back in the sandy streets. I looked around the stores. "Hey Miss!" a man called out.

I stopped to see an older man waving at me. I walked up to him. "Hi." I answered cautiously.

"I am a customizer. That katana is beauty. May I see her?"

My cat ears twitched under my cloak and I walked closer to the man showing him my katana.

"Wow, you take care of this like it was your own baby! Not many women know how to use or even properly clean it. You though are a different story!" I blinked. "Do you mind staying here for a sec while I make your baby even stronger?" I shrugged.

A knife was in between my sleeve and wrist. Tries anything funny off goes his head. "I want her back in the same condition." He grinned and headed to the back of the shop. I looked at him carefully taking note whatever he did.

He handed my katana back to my in a few seconds and smiled. I took the sword back and opened it out of its sheath. It now had a black metal blade with a razor sharp edge. A small blood shaped gem rested by the handle and had a silver crescent moon carved into it. At the top of the blade was a star. I grinned. The hilt was black also with white bandages. A keychain was at the bottom holding a star with a crescent inside it.

"Well, dude you did an awesome fucking job." He grinned at my compliment. "How much you want for the job?" I asked.

"Nothing at all. I just do it for fun. As long as you use it I am fine." I gave him thumbs up. He laughed.

"Don't worry I will."

"Oh two other things. This sword and the leather." He grinned.

The sword was a double bladed like Kratos' sword. The blade was black too but thinner than the normal sword and heavier than my katana. The leather was black with a hint of silver. It covered my chest and went halfway to my knees. I nodded.

"Thanks dude. I'll put these to good use." He nodded and went to the back of the shop. I looked back to the sun. Wow. Only 20 minutes. Uh. I hate time. Still who cares, I got nice stuff. They both followed the SSA rules.

I walked back towards the Inn, buying a few gels and bottles. Lloyd ran out to meet me. "Hey do you know where Colette is?" He asked. I shook my head no.

"Cool swords!" He grinned and grabbed the double-edged sword.

"They all follow the SSA rules." I told him. He stopped grinning into the sword like a hyped up prom date and looked at me. "The first S stands for shiny, the second S stands for sharp, and the A stands for totally awesome!" I threw my hands up in the air smiling like a child. He sighed and looked at me.

I grabbed both swords and put them in my belt under my cloak. I saw another road leading further into town. I started to walk that way while Lloyd looked around the market place. I saw a small pond and some other buildings but those really did not interest me. I looked around and saw a small black tent. I walked up to it.

"Come in Chosen." I blinked and opened the tent flap. A woman was dressed in a bunch of fancy robes.

A crystal ball stood next to a small stack of cards. I looked around. "Chosen of Hell, welcome. I sense you are searching for the Chosen of Sylvarant?" I nodded.

"She went to the Triet ruins. With the teacher and mercenary. She is going to release the Seal of Fire." She told me holding on of the cards to her forehead.

"How did you know I was the Chosen of Hell?" I asked. She handed me the card. It was a white card. I looked at it.

"Look closely." She told me.

I took a breath, blinked, and gasped.

On the card was me! I was holding out my arms to the front of the card with a strapless black dress. On my chest was a bright white star. On my back were blood red wings. I was crying. Bloody tears stained my face. I dropped the card back on the table. It was white again.

"These cards would never let me see what I needed to. I give these to you. They will help you on your journey." She smiled.

I put my hand on my chest. My heart was beating a mouse-length in a minute. I nodded. "What are these cards?" I asked.

"They only react to the dead." She said simply.

I stared at her for a minute or two. "What are you on? Another thing. Where can I get some?"

She stared at me confused.

"Nevermind." I sighed. "Thanks."

I walked out and went to go find my brother slipping the cards into my pocket. "This day cannot get any weirder. Well not much…I hope." I whined mentally.

I ran into my brother stopping mere inches from his face. "I know where Colette is." I told him quickly

He nodded and called Genis from somewhere. I ran inside the Inn and called Kasai. She burst out of the room and closed the door behind her with her tail and we ran outside. We started to run out of Triet.

"Oh, fuck." I shouted almost running into the Desian.

Lloyd, Genis, and Kasai stopped behind me.

I wanted to cry. Whoever planned this I hate you.

"DAMMIT I HATE IRONY!" I screamed punching the Desian through his helmet.

Lloyd hearing this looked at me. Genis explained what irony was. I grabbed my sword and jumped backwards. A piece of skin was visible through my cloak from the Desians sword. I growled and pounced swinging my leg around and kicking him… somewhere all men tremble.

Every man stopped and winced. I yowled and tackled another Desian. I punched in his stomach.

I jumped off and hissed.

"Lloyd Irving you are under arrest! You and that woman!" A Desian yelled.

"YO! Bitches my name is Neko Irving the demon among the living!" I laughed psychopathically.

The Desian that I tackled muttered something.

I hissed and screamed.

"BAKA YARO!" I slammed my fist into his helmet breaking his nose. I kicked him in his back and Lloyd took care of the other one. I grinned and turned to Lloyd and high-fived him. I yelled in pain when I felt an electrical current surge through my veins. I fell towards the ground hearing Kasai yell my name.

X-X-X The wonderful world of Unconsciousness X-X-X

I opened my eyes to see a forest. I groaned. "Dammit. I am in my own head."

I got up and sighed. I heard singing.

"Nibi! Will you stop singing happy music?" I yelled.

It stopped and a panther burst out the trees and tackled me. "OH MY BABY!"

I twitched wildly.

She smiled and licked my face.

I yelled.

"Stop being affectionate it is scary!" I whined.

A wolf with five white tails billowing behind her jumped down behind me tackling the panther and smacked her with her paw. "Nibi is happy that you received those cards."

"HAPPY!" Nibi screamed eyes wide, and twitching.

I stared at the cat and screamed. I took off running. Gobi was right along side me.

"When can I go back?" I yelled.

"NOW!" Gobi screamed.

White light shot up from the ground, surrounding me, and taking me with it when it disappeared.

X-X-X Wherever the hell I am X-X-X

I felt like someone had thrown me off a cliff and played volleyball with my stomach. Yeah, I felt like shit. I tried to open my eyes to see white. I groaned. I hate white.

"NEKO! CAN YOU HEAR ME?" Lloyd screamed.

This was not necessary. Why? Lloyd was in another cell a few inches away from my cell. He was shaking me back and forth.

"STOP!" I yelled.

He was still shaking me. Well use last resort.

I screamed an ear-piercing scream that made all beings in a 3-mile radius wince. Lloyd dropped me and held his hands on his ears.

I grabbed my head and whined. "Oh, dandy! I think I have whiplash." I muttered.

"NEKO!" He yelled again.

I punched him.

"SHUT THE HELL UP!" He winced.

"Geez, you don't have to be so loud!" He whined.

"Yeah…you need meds." I muttered. "Where are we?" I asked.

"I have no idea."

Two Desians were walking back and forth staring at us every so often. Behind them was a control panel with buttons. Under one of them, a white label stood out. I blinked. 'Hit this button to free prisoners. If you cannot reach use fire.'

"Oh for mother fucking sake." I summoned a fireball and it knocked the Desians out and hit the button.

"Cool! Neko you are a genius!" Lloyd cheered.

"No, I can read." I sighed.

I noticed me swords were gone and my shirt had been disturbed. I growled. I ran out of the prison and into an intersection of hallways. I saw my swords and Lloyds stuff too. I dashed over and slipped my katana and other sword into my belt. I put my cards into my bag and took off.

I then had to decide which way to go. "Oh, fun." I muttered and ran off into the right hallway.

We fought two Desians parties and we started to search random rooms.

Well we ran into a blue haired dude.

Now this blue dude looked like a Fairy from the back. (AN not gay. Just a floating fairy.)

"YO fairy dude! Where are we?" The dude spun around.

"Who the hell are you?" He asked.

"Give me your name and I shall tell you mine." Lloyd smirked.

"Give me your liver and I will tell you mine!" I smiled.

The blue haired dude looked at me.

"Okay…" He muttered, "I don't see the need to introduce my self to dogs like you."

I twitched. Okay. Call me a bitch fine. You call me a dog you crossed the line. I did not even hear Lloyd's comeback.

I stormed right up to him shoving his hand out of the way. I grabbed his shoulders. "I AM A FUCKING CAT! DAMMIT! HOW DARE YOU CALL ME A DOG! I AM NOTHING OF THE SORT!" I was ranting very loudly.

I was shaking him back in forth like a ball in a tennis match. He had swirly eyes. I pushed him down to the ground.

"I am going to break you neck faster than a candle touches fire!" I snarled. Another man rushed in the door.

I gawked.

The blue haired dude ran out, and can you guess who came running in? Kasai, Kratos, Genis, Raine, and Colette.

"DAMMIT! It is Spiky Mouse Pincushion!" I pointed.

Everyone stopped glaring at Spiky and looked over to me.

"What!"

"Nothing." Lloyd muttered.

I grabbed my new sword out. I grinned into it.

Botta, as his blue haired friend called him, cast eruption.

I jumped up and ran like a caged animal on sugar. Why? I am extremely pissed.

I growled. I launched myself at him stabbing him with my sword. I missed his neck but got his shoulders. I flipped backwards and decided to help Genis out. I ran to him and gave him an Orange Gel. He grinned and pointed to his sister. She had a cut that was bleeding onto her shoulder.

"Damn it. I hate the child abuser." I muttered running over to her to hand her an Apple Gel. She nodded and I ran back to use First Aid on Kratos and Lloyd. The smirked/smiled and finished Botta off.

He ran out uttering unheard last words. See, selective listener.

Once he was gone, 96 pounds of angel weight tackled me. "I am so glad you are okay!" She smiled.

I patted her head awkwardly.

"Your happiness is oozing into my brain." I said sarcastically. "How did you find us anyway?"

"You're ranting/screaming." Kasai answered.

I sweatdropped.

"How far?"

"2 miles." Kratos said bluntly. "Why were you screaming about cats and dogs?"

"They were chasing us with pitchforks and screaming that I was one of them and they must worship me." I told him.

He blinked and shrugged.

I saw Botta left his sword behind. I grinned and grabbed it.

I would give to Raine later, but for right now, I want to whack something with it.

"Hey Kratos, I hit you with a mallet would you hair stop standing up or would you go unconscious first?" I asked.

"More likely unconscious. No you can not hit me in the head with Botta's sword." He smirked.

"DAMMIT FUZZBALL! YOU WILL FEAR THE WRATH OF TEH NEKO!"

He grinned.

"I am sure I will."

"Damn you emo fuzzball. I will make you laugh like a psychopath one day."

"Yeah. When that happens Lloyd will have straight A's." He told me.

"He does. Here." I handed a forged report card to him.

"I know that this is fake." He said handing it back.

"And I know you are wearing purple."

"I know that you have anger issues."

"The voices in my head and I all agreed. You suck."

"Really? I'll bet a fist to the head and they will change their mind."

"I don't think that they care. You already hate the voices."

"Why? I wouldn't hate the voices because I don't have them."

"But they think you are gay."

"Really, I bet the voices think you are an absolute angel."

"No actually they think I have a god complex."

"Therapy helps."

"If therapy could help me I would be wearing a white dress and picking flowers."

"True, if therapy works you would be creepily happy."

"Ah. They think I am insensitive."

"You are."

"No, it is not. I just don't care."

"That is the same thing."

"That is the point. If we all see the same we would all be the same."

"If we were all the same there would be no war."

"If we were all the same we would lose interest in our daily lives as everything becomes boring. Thus, everyone will soon die out and there would be nothing left. If there were no war, there would be no souls to die, as everyone has to die to be born. It is a continuous cycle."

"Completely true. Everything has to die to be born. Plants and Animals have to die to let us live."

"Plus, if there were no souls to die. There would not be any angels, demons, elves, humans, or half-elves left. We all have a choice and we make it. Everyone claims to be sane. I claim to be insane to stand out. I may be ridiculed but I know more than anyone who calls me a freak. If we all try, hard enough you can totally forget that there are different races separating us. Race is just a fancy word that people use to try to make them feel superior and everyone else to be inferior. All is hated all is detested. Half-elves are the same as any of us. They hate us we supposedly hate them. The animals and land are caught in between they hate this stupid race issue and wish it would go away. Everyone is just blind." I sighed.

"Neko. Stop thinking." Kasai whined. "You hurt my brain!"

"Ah. I want cheese." I smiled.

Kratos blinked and sighed. "Well there goes that."

I looked at my brother who was staring at me as if I had grown another head, Genis edging away from his sister, and his sister wanting to dissect me.

I noticed I was in sunshine. "When did we leave the base?"

"20 minutes ago."

"Oh." I sighed. "Well that was a good conversation!"

"That hardly made sense!" Lloyd yelled.

"But I am not supposed to. I think that 'that' was the point."

"Shutting up now." Lloyd muttered.

Noishe appeared out of nowhere and nosed my side. I jumped on his back and we rode back to Triet.

"Have you guys released the Fire seal?"

"No." Colette said cheerily.

"Do you ever get mad?" I whined.

"No, not really." She smiled.

"Ugh."

We made our way to Triet and spent the night. I slept in the same room as Colette. I decided to look at the cards again. I sat cross-legged on the roof. I took the cards and lifted up the first two. They were white. I closed my eyes and put them to my forehead. I took them off and opened my eyes.

On the first card, there was a dragon of flames. I flipped it over to the back. "The fire spirit dwell in Fire summon itself. Be careful of its flames. It will burn for only true intentions." I blinked and looked at the other.

On it was shadows and eyes. A pair of blue eyes to be exact. Brown hair framed an angle face but that it what you could see. "The bright star." Is all that all it said?

I shrugged and swung back into my room. I looked out to the moon and smiled. I closed the window and jumped into the bed. I slept.

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

Okay. Well I am done for the time being.

Baka Yaro- pretty much means fuck you or fuck off.

Well I hope you like this long chapter. (To me.) I know that it was weird on the part about Neko talking to Kratos. Well too bad. It has clues on her past. Barely. I have a few tests so the next chapter will at the most come out in 2-3 weeks. Hope you guys enjoy.
