Chapter 7
Well I got my first bad review. To who ever sent me this, I could care less what you think. I already told people in the first chapter it (to some people) sometimes illogical. I do not give a flying Mithos with bunny ears, and with pancakes on his head. Of course, I would like to thank Moonshine's Guide for reviewing like always.
Another thing to the anonymous reviewer Taijiya Sango-san as you call yourself. Fan-fictions are here for a reason. They are made by the FANS and of course since they are based off something and not a singular story it self, it is FICTION. Therefore, this is my story and I may write what I like. (Oh, your review was a flame and not constructive criticism. Why? You said nothing about what could help, only how much my story was illogical. Moreover, you would have read in later chapters that this is not an ordinary story.) I laugh. I scoff. SCOFF!
Back on the subject thank you to the normal reviewers. I hope that you continue to enjoy these stories.
Disclaimer: I do not own anything but Neko, Kasai, her cards, and her sword.

The sun shone happily through the curtains. I growled and got out of bed. Colette was still asleep and it was about 5 am in the morning. I grabbed my bag and went into the bathroom. I locked the door, took a quick shower, and brushed my hair.
I got dressed in a blue tank top and shorts. I put my black cloak on and thought sadistically of everything that could go wrong today. I whined slightly. I put my hood up. I sighed quickly and opened the door. Kasai and Colette were still sleeping. I smiled softly and left the room. I could hear snores from my brother. I chuckled. I walked downstairs and outside to get some fresh air.
I was not alone. I flashed quickly to my side fists up. It was Kratos. "Hey."
He nodded and looked back out into the desert.
I relaxed slightly.
"I thought you were going to be a morning person. I guess I was right." I said sarcastically.
He looked at me.
I chuckled. "Dude you don't like me so kill me." I said seriously.
He snapped his head to me. "What?"
"You're paid to kill aren't you? If I pay you would you kill me?" I asked. 'I am curious about going into a mercenary line of work. Loyalty is a strong point.'
"No." I nodded.
"Ah, just curious." I finished and walked over to Noishe. He whined slightly and walked over to Kratos.
I blinked and followed.
He nudged Kratos and looked at me.
"Well, Kratos-kun," Insert Kratos twitch at the suffix, "it seems Noishe trusts you. That is good. If you betray us, it will be a good reason, I highly doubt him but eh, I ain't a dog. Just a weirdo." I sighed.
"Kratos-kun?" He asked.
I sweatdropped. Okay…
"Dude I am trying out new nicknames. I am thinking Otou-san would be better." He went rigid.
I blinked.
"Okay, not that then." I muttered. I idea hit me. "What about Yosomono!"
"Stranger?" He blinked.
"Yeah, I don't really know you." He shrugged.
"Okay. Nickname is now Yosomono."
"Alright Neko-chan."
"Hell no."
He chuckled.
"I like my name. If you must call me something call me Kegare or Kuro."
"Impurity, disgrace, or black?" He asked.
"Yeah. Kegare since I am a disgrace or Kuro for black."
"Why are you a disgrace?"
'Crap. Um think of a way around this.'
"To avoid answering that question I am going inside to eat." I waved and darted inside.
"Safe." I cackled.
"Hunh?" Genis asked.
"Nothing, where is Lloyd?"
"Sleeping." Kratos answered from behind me.
"Oh." Two seconds I yelped.
"Kratos when the hell did you get behind me?"
He looked at me. "Two hours ago." He told me dryly.
"Hunh. Didn't ever think that I would sleep that long. Happy EMO morning!" I shouted waving.
"THE EMOS ARE COMING! THE EMOS ARE COMING!" Kasai screamed from my room and slammed her head into the door.
"I was joking! Lloyd! Get you ass up! I will start singing Enter Sandman!" I yelled.
A thump was heard and a yell. The shower turned on upstairs.
"And that ladies and men is how you wake up my brother."
I grabbed a biscuit and sighed. A burning pain erupted on my upper back. I fought back a scream.
"I'll be outside." I said quickly and left.
I ran to the Fortuneteller.
She was standing outside. She opened the flap and smiled at me. She closed it leaving me alone. Two crimson wings shot out of my back. They were my angel wings. Crimson red tipped black. I sighed. They wanted to be out. They glittered with dark mana. I beat them slightly and black tipped crimson feathers littered the floor. They disappeared and I could recall my wings. This happened a lot because when I grew weaker or stronger those wings make sure my powers stay balanced.
I lifted myself up. My wings were calmly gone. I would not have another case for another week or so.
"Thanks." I told the Fortuneteller. She smiled again and pointed to the entrance of Triet. I ran to there flipping over my brother in the process scaring the crap out of him.
"Where were you?" Genis asked.
"Eating human souls." I answered.
He blinked and sighed.
Kasai handed me my bag and we walked out into the Desert.
Colette smiled and skipped ahead. Skipped in a desert. She has to be on drugs.
After we were about three quarters of a mile, Colette decided we should sing. Someone knock me unconscious.
"No." Kratos and I said flatly.
"Neko! You have a great voice! Please! Your voice is so pretty!" Colette giggled.
"No."
She gave my puppy dog eyes. I smirked.
"No."
"Neko can sing?" Raine asked.
"Yes, I can. Horribly."
"No!" Colette slightly yelled. "You have a great voice!"
"If I say no will you keep this up and end up torturing me until I commit suicide?"
"Yes." Lloyd grinned.
"Okay." I shrugged and pulled out a knife.
Kratos grabbed my hand.
"Dude, let go of my hand." He did.
"Well it seems all of my suicide attempts are going to be failed because of Yosomono over here. Crap." I sighed and pocketed the knife.
"Neko don't throw a party now." Kasai said dryly.
"Thanks for the memories or Animals?"
"Neither!" Kasai yelled.
"What why not?" I yelled.
"We have virgin ears. Your brother, Colette, and Genis do not need to hear those types of songs."
"Oh. What about Nymphetamine?"
"Hell no!" Lloyd yelled.
"Oh yeah I scared the crap out of you and Dirk when I sang that."
I burst out into laughter as I remembered it.
Flashback
An 8 year old me walked down the stairs twirling. I had learned a new song that a cat taught me. It was a pretty song. I was humming it as I helped cook dinner. Lloyd was sleeping on his homework. I smiled and spun around in a circle.
We ate dinner and chatted.
Lloyd smiled and told me to sing the song. I smiled and ran to get a few candles.
I lit them and put them on the ground.
I spun around and started to sing.
Laid to the river
Midsummer, I waved
A "V" of black swans
On with hope to the grave
And though Red September
With skies fire-paved
I begged you appear
Like a thorn for the holy ones
I smiled. This is where I would get them. In a deep voice I started to sing again.
Cold was my soul
Untold was the pain
I faced when you left me
A rose in the rain...
So I swore to the razor
That never, enchained
Would your dark nails of faith
Be pushed through my veins again
I grinned evilly. Lloyd sat straight up and was staring wide eyed at me. Dirk was twitching slightly. I hissed creepily and Lloyd looked around and jumped on the table. I couldn't stand it and I burst into laughter.
Flashback end
I chuckled. "Now that kept me laughing for weeks."
"That gave me nightmares." Lloyd muttered.
"Oh, come on! It is one kickass love song!"
"That is not a love song! That is a creepy song!"
"So. It is still a swesome love song. One of the only ones I like anyway."
Kratos looked amused and everyone else looked at me in confusion.
"You guys sing first. IF we reach the Fire seal before this forget I even said this." I told them.
The grinned and Colette volenteered to go first.
She sung a angelic song. Genis chose a happy song. Lloyd chose a rock song that I had taught him.
We were still a quarter of a mile till we reached the temple.
"Shit." I muttered.
"You're turn sis!" Lloyd grinned.
"Okay…fine. Being Alright."
When things are bad as they can be,
Dark curtains rise so you can see..
That the sun sinks to the west
and blue fills the sky.
Everyone feels a great relief.
The change in wind has changed our lives, has changed our lives!
Nobody knows what's in your future.
Though death and unhappiness are certain.
But one thing I can say for sure:
honesty's the perfect cure for any stress induced disease you have..
BELIEVE! What you do is right,
EXPLAIN! Your reasonings,
And everything will be alright..
That the sun sinks to the west
and blue fills the sky.
Everyone feels a great relief.
The change in wind has changed our lives, has changed our lives!
And the sun sinks to the west
and blue fills the sky.
Everyone feels a great relief.
The change in wind has changed our lives, has changed our lives!
–Being Alright- Tsunami Bomb-
I finished. 'Man I have a sucky voice.'
"Neko, that was great!" Colette squealed.
"Uh…thank you?"
"I agree." Kratos said.
I pinched myself. "Itai."
He chuckled.
"That was cool sis!" Lloyd yelled.
"Okay! I get it." I muttered and ran ahead.
Kasai laughed and ran after me. I grinned and ran faster. She picked up the pace and so did I. We both skidded to a stop in front of the ruins.
I sighed and looked at the ruins. A monster lay in front of the entrance watching our every move.
"I CALL DIBS!" I screamed and jumped at it attacking it with my sword. It was slow so I kept jumping around it.
It was a rock with weird signs and a mana core. It was molten rock. Okay they were from the temple of fire. Yay.
It started to cast fire spell and Kasai and I finished it off with a double demon fang.
"You need to work on defense." Kratos called from the sidelines.
"AND YOU NEED TO HAVE EMOTIONS FUZZBALL! YOU DON'T SEE ME SAYING ANYTHING!" I yelled.
Lloyd laughed and I could have sworn that Genis, Raine, and Kratos sweatdrop.
I sighed and walked over.
"Teach me your wonderful defense techs, oh peace keeper." I drawled sarcastically and bowed.
He showed us a tech he called Guardian.
Well Lloyd was copying that and the others did something else.
Mine? Mine was a five-foot dark mana cat curled around me in a roar of dark flames.
"What! How can you summon dark mana?" Raine yelled.
"Uh, how the hell am I supposed to known Oban?" I yelled back.
"Try it again." Kratos told me. "Try not to show off."
"Wasn't trying to." I muttered.
I tried it again but I swung my katana horizontally and summoned mana to shield.
Well it worked. A triangular black mana shield stood in front of me.
"Okay. Is that better?" I sighed. I liked the cat one better.
"Do you have any idea why you can summon dark mana?" Genis asked.
"Yeah, and no I am not going to tell you. You will probably find out soon."
Raised eyebrows were abundant. I shrugged.
"Hey Raine isn't that Polycarbonate?"
She went starry eyed and ran up towards it. She started to rant happily and I stared at her. Then promptly burst into laughter.
This is too funny. Genis had his head in his hand and Lloyd looked creepily blackmail-ish. Yay! I am rubbing off on him.
"Is she always like this?"
"Yes." Genis groaned.
"Wow! She is like me when I find nice dead bodies to roll around in!"
"Anyway…" Raine started.
I stared at the road thinking. What was that cat? I could control my mana sometimes. Why was it going out of control? The black mana cat was etched in my memory. Why did it appear? How did I do it? Why did it seem sad or even angry? How could I sense that?
It seemed like it was protecting me. From what, exactly?
I was in deep thought. If I did not know something, it grated on my nerves until I figured it out. This is one of the few things. I narrowed my eyes.
That cat seemed of dark mana fire like Nibi but it seemed like a calming fire. It was like a warm gust of air from being in a cold room.
I was interrupted by Colette calling me name. They were already heading down into the fire seal tunnel. I ran after them. Okay. I wanna be out in the desert. HOT!
Yeah, magma was floating around just slowly as if it was leaves falling in the wintertime. I narrowed my eyes again. Kratos did not seem to be affected. Sheesh what did he live in? An oven?
Otherwise, I kept quiet. Something was up. The cat and the dragon card cannot be a coincidence! There is something wrong here. A temple with a fire spirit should be alive and commanding. It was dark and hot. Something was wrong here. I might have mood swings and act stupid but I know a lot more than anyone else.
Genis was the first one to voice his concern. "Neko, are you okay?"
"No. Something is terribly wrong with this place. Fire should not be like this!"
"She is right." Kasai agreed.
"What do you mean?" Raine asked.
"Fire is known for being alive! The fire spirit is upset, he is angry! The mana is corrupted. Someone betrayed him, but then again you will not take my word for it." I mumbled the last part.
"Neko, I did not think they understand half of what you do." Kasai meowed in her native language.
"Kasai I would not be surprised." I meowed back.
"The mana is fine." Raine told me.
"The mana is not fine! YOU ARE AN IDIOT! My god a two month old rabbit has more brains than you do." I growled.
She glared at me.
I pushed past her and walked into the center doorway. Weird decorations covered the walls and the fire was even more upset from here!
"Kasai, I have a feeling I might get another creepy ass vision thingy."
She laughed.
"HEY! Not funny." I muttered.
"Neko you are not acting normal." Lloyd said from behind us.
"I like the image you guys painted of me. Screw off. Something is wrong here and it is pissing me off!" I snarled.
'Kit! Calm down. The mana cat was some type of sign. So were the dragon and the vision last time. It is a puzzle!'
'Neko, I know that this is pissing you off but I tell you this I agree with you.'
I smirked.
"What?" Kasai asked.
"The Voices agree with me."
A sweatdrop appeared on her head.
I pulled out my card and closed my eyes. The dragon appeared again.
"What is that?" Genis asked.
"A card that somehow only reacts to the dead. Miracle really. Truly sorry you cannot see the pretty dragon up front." I sighed.
We were now a at a fancy ass door.
The dragon card flew to the door. I yelped. "What the hell!" It flashed red.
I raised my eyebrow at it as it shot back towards me. I caught it in-between my fingers. I sighed and looked at it.
The dragon was grinning and a flower made out of pure fire stood on the edge.
I turned it over. 'Good job let us see if you can survive.'
"Fuck?" I blinked.
"What?" Kasai asked.
"This card is trying to freak me out!" I whined. "I better get an awesome ass move after this, Colette your turn."
She blinked, nodded, and faced the door. She held her hand in front of the door and closed her eyes. I backed away. Light mana and dark mana not a good combo. She opened the door and it creaked open. I walked inside last.
I ran forward. Fire mana was building up. A scream made me whip around. Colette crystal was emitting ropes of fire mana. It whirled around all of us and Lloyd was knocked backwards. I blinked. It twirled around me and I did something very smart. I poked it. I poked twice. Yeah.
"Cool!" I squealed. It wrapped around me and I just laughed. It was warm but not hot. It was an amazing feeling. It whipped from around me and twirled together in a ray of red, orange, yellowish mana beam as it shot into an altar.
The room was beautiful. It was covered in glass, rock, and magma. All together awesome. I looked around quickly. Two pillars were holding up the back of the ceiling and two by the door. It was pretty really. I bet Rainwhisker would have loved it here. Depression shot through me but I pushed it away.
I looked back up and in a large 'boom' of smoke, a large creature stood there. Yellow eyes burst open. The smoke blew away and drifted across the room. Red shiny fur with hints of gold shined in the firelight. Black spikes jutted out of its back and down its massive tail. Alternatively, in my words, "Oh! It is so cute!"
The creature cocked its head to the side. "Chosen?" It asked. It was a female for sure.
"Yes." Colette stepped forward.
"You are not the chosen. You are the Chosen for Sylvarant. I am looking for one much stronger."
A sentence flew off into my head. 'Oh shit.'
"Chosen of Hell step forward. I must speak with you. Fear not your disguise. If one truly hates you can fight with my power."
"There is no Chosen of Hell." Raine yelled.
"Silence! Chosen of Hell step forward."
"Pushy much?" I asked.
"Neko?" Lloyd yelled.
"Yep. That is my name."
I walked forward taking a deep breath. I tore the cloak off and threw to the other side of the room. Wow, I really do have pale skin.
"Chosen, you have passed many trials. Many that the Hell rejoices you for living."
I bowed slightly. My hair that was tied into a braid almost hit the ground. My tail swished slightly and my ears twitched. A few gasps went off behind me.
"They are real ya know." I muttered. My hair, which was auburn color, still covered my left eye.
"You are a wonderful child. Your mother is proud I sense that." She smiled.
I blinked. "You are of an ancient race that supposedly died out long because humans, elves, even half-elves tried to kill every single last of your kind alive. They were scared that all you were going to do is cause destruction. All because on kit accidentally burned a Childs hand. The child grew up to be a leader of a military militia. He made a deal with the Desians and some elves living by. He brainwashed to think you were all evil. When all you wanted was peace. You are one of those last correct? You are the mother of a family. You are proud of your family. I am also proud of mine whatever they do. Isn't that true."
She smiled. "You hide behind a very convincing outer shell to hide the inner you? You hide because you think it is your fault."
I smiled and shook my head. "No I hide because I am a nothing. A nothing is a shadow a shadow is darkness. I am darkness. I hide because I try to make others feel happy and not dwell on the things that make up a person. Paint it anyway, you like. Soon we will all die. There is no point in living if all you were ever taught was to hide."
She nodded. "Everyone uses us like we are rags to wash dirty dishes on. Everyone thinks that since we are demons we are automatically evil. They think we are against the angels."
"That is almost completely true, Faianeko-sama. My brother and stepfather treated me like a human no matter what. I am not sure how that is going to change but they are nice humans. I met some elves before too. They found me and took care of me for a few weeks. They knew that it I was not bad at all. I like half-elves too. I met a two that live in the woods and helped a friend of mine. Good is not completely good and evil is not completely evil. A child should know that. Political beliefs and everyone trying to mimic each other is the cause. They fear something unknown. A defense most people use is hate. They hate the unknown. All in all the object of it is felling worse than it started." I sighed.
She nodded. "You are very smart, kit. You bless the demons of hell with new hope."
I smirked. "And the angels of the Stars." She laughed.
"Kit, I will now make you aware that you passed the test of the chosen. You can find the seals located in energy signature. If you cannot reach, the seal wait until the full moon. All will end up on your shoulders."
"You want me to kill myself?" I smiled.
She laughed, "For one who was so badly betrayed you are a riot!"
I grinned and shrugged. "I try. Yosomono and the others are with the Chosen of Sylvarant. What do I need to do now? Are you going to be put in my head like the other voices?"
A sweatdrop appeared on her head. "Yes."
"AWSOME! May I go over a fighting style to win over you with?" She nodded.
I turned around and stared at the group. My ears twitched. "Ya going to stare at me all day?"
"What are you?" Raine asked.
I clinched my fist slightly.
"A freak. I think I have told you this before. Or did you forget?" I hissed. "Faianeko-sama gave you a chance. You had better appreciate it. Nekomata's swing their tail in a circle. Their claws are sharp and the can scratch you. Her weakness is the bone holding her tail to the spine, and of course the throat and chest. Those though are more guarded. You got it?" I asked.
"Neko." Colette whispered.
"Yes, I am demon. Kill me if you want. Are you that surprised? Angels exist so are you surprised that demons exist. We do what you cannot. We are the lesser ones. We are hated. We are killed for being born. We have souls. Once you become an angel you will be exactly like them." I spoke.
I turned around and bowed to the Fire Cat. "Thank you Faianeko-sama." She smiled and walked towards me. She circled me and put her muzzle against my forehead.
"Thank you child." She backed up and jumped to the throne. She closed her eyes and opened them. Red irises and white pupils. A rope of fire mana surrounded me. "Once my soul is in your body I will be nothing more than those Angels you call holy. I will be a violent creature. Please lay my soul to rest, Chosen of Hell, Neko Irving, and the mighty warrior Soulclaw." He voice was turning hollow.
I bowed and pushed back tears. "I will." She nodded and her pupils disappeared.
The rope of fiery energy dove into my chest and I gasped slightly. It flew into my body and in a blink of an eye, it was gone. I grasped my chest.
I looked back up to the Fire cat. It roared hatefully. I unsheathed my sword. "Okay. Let's go." I sighed.
I ran towards it leaving the idiots staring. The cat swung its tail and blocked my sword. I kicked off the tail and flipped. Kratos ran from under me slashing the cat's face. The cat jumped backwards. Two bursts of fiery mana appeared to be raptor of some sort. The stood on two legs and were made of molten lava. Yay.
"Those little ones I'm gonna guess cast magic. Man!"
I ran towards the fire cat and slashed sideways. At the last minute, I used NightShield. (AN: yes. Very stupid name I DON'T CARE!)
My black mana shield blocked the hit but with its advantage I flew sideways again at the lizard thing and cast, an earth spell on it. "Mud Slide!"
Brown mana flew up to form stones and crashed onto the lizard thing. It fell down and I ran at it slashing its arm off. The other sent a wave of Fireballs at me. I jumped out of the way, back flipping.
Lloyd was fighting the cat and Colette was fighting on a lizard thing while a burst of blue water mana drenched the raptor I was fighting. It vanished in a red light. I looked over at Genis giving him thumbs up. He grinned. I ran at the other lizard thing. I slashed at it and kicked it towards the ceiling. Kasai slashed at it with her claws and Colette slashed at it with her chakrams. Faianeko-sama's body collapsed in a large plume of flames. My eyes closed.
The once proud clan of cats called the Ktugach was now dead. I prayed to the Stars that I might be able to revive the clan once more, after this journey is over. I sheathed my sword.
Colette stepped up to the podium thingy. Kasai walked over to me and I sighed. I was trying to contact the voice of the cat that was now stuck in my head like Gobi and Nibi. A tired yawn and a 'She is sleeping' was the only answer I got. I shrugged slightly. It was tough from adjusting from a physical body to an astral body.
I was so concentrated I missed the Angels appearance. I looked up and blinked. He talked to Colette something about daughter and seal. I cocked my head sideways and briefly looked around. No vision yet. Well one time thing?
I blinked. Crap. Yep. Another vision.
I stood in place of some kind. Black silverish swirls danced across the room with out a care in the world. I took a shaky step forward and the floor rippled under me. Yes. I am know pretty sure that I am walking on water. I muttered 'I would so love to scream I am a goddess right now.' I walked forward only to have the portals move farther away from me. "Great..."
A white light spiraled up to circle the whole room. It was in a shape of a dragon. My mind whined at this. Another piece of a puzzle. It left me a brief thought. All creatures are complex. All are puzzles. I smirked.
'We will die figuring out nothing in our lifetime because all we did was confuse ourselves.'
The dragon disappeared into the light that it spread. Greens, blues, browns, gray, and the color that got my attention was a crimson circle. The white was its canvas. It painted itself why I watched. It was a forest scene. Orange, red, and yellow, joined the mix. My eyes widened, my tail dropped to the floor, and my ears laid down against my head. This was the scene of the murder. This was the place of my last hope. This is where I watched my clan die. This is where I watched my family die.
Those were the things running through my head. Dragoneye, Greystripe, Nightwing, Rainwhisker, Riverfang, Yelloweye, Gingerpaw, and all the others that sacrificed their lives. I whispered 'stop' but it kept painting. Painting the scene of that murder.
"Momma!" I saw a young girl running to me.
Auburn hair and blue eyes. I paled even whiter. "Rainwhisker."
Black cat ears and a black feline tail flew behind her. She smiled happily waving. She was wearing a black long-sleeved shirt with jeans. A silver bow was tied to her tail as it waved in the wind. Her hair was braided like mine but had two aqua streaks weaved through.
"Momma! I wanna say I am proud of you! Momma, I am with the Stars now. I really miss you. So does Greystripe and Nightwing. You passed the first test! We all say hi! Momma we all love you!" She darted forward and hugged my legs. I was speechless.
She smiled brightly and handed me a small necklace. "We made it for you Momma! I hope to see you soon! We all miss you!" She jumped up and kissed my cheek.
I watched rigid. The girl smiled and turned around. I reached out for her but she disappeared. The murder scene sat in different shades of color. I sighed and looked around. Everything was frozen as if to make sure I remembered it. My daughter told me that she missed me. She told me that she was proud. I was happy. I was relieved. If only for a few minutes. I blinked again. I was in the temple. I looked around and blinked again.
I felt something in my hand. Metal. It was the necklace. I smiled slightly. I looked up to the male angel or Remiel. Whatever. Sheesh. I put the necklace in my pocket. Colette had wings, Kratos looked bored, Lloyd was awing…wait…Colette had wings? Great. They were of course her favorite colors, pink and purple. I rolled my eyes.
I stopped my trembling. Lloyd already suspected something I do not want him to get hurt. I am his sister after all. No matter what or who keeps me away I will be his sister. All my blood family was dead besides my brother and I think my father. My father. I hope that he still is alive. Anyways.
The Oracle departed leaving a flurry of feathers. I could not help myself. I walked up to one of the falling feathers and poked it. It did not disappear. I grinned. I pounced at it skidding around in all the feathers. I laughed slightly and kicked some up in the air hitting them with my hands. I did not notice the stares I was getting. I pounced and kept the feathers up in the air. I laughed slightly.
"Neko. What did you see?" Kasai asked. I froze. They do not know about my kits. Best not to tell them.
"Nothing but an Angel in Hell." I sighed.
"You are not going to tell me are you?" She sighed.
"I will once she wishes to be known."
The Nekomata blinked and nodded. I sighed and walked over to my cloak.
'I will leave to make sure my brother does not hate me. I will denounce our blood link if that will make sure he stays with Colette.' I thought.
'He is lucky to have a sister like you, Neko. Even if he does not appreciate that.' Nibi told me softly.
'Yes, he is. Anyone would be lucky to have you as a friend.' Gobi smiled.
I pulled my cloak up off the ground and sighed. "Good luck Butterfly." I muttered.
I started to walk out the door with Kasai when I was tackled.
"Don't leave!" Colette cried.
"Let go of me Colette." I sighed ready to bolt out of here.
"Don't leave! Please!" She cried again.
"Someone help? I kinda want to leave?" I whined.
Kratos smirked. "She is the Chosen. If she wants you to stay you will." He grabbed my arm and started to drag me out.
"You are so enjoying this aren't you." I asked him.
"Yes."
"I hate you Yosomono."
"Sure Neko-chan."
"Neko! It is Neko you bastard!"
"Okay, Neko-chan."
"I AM GONNA STRANGLE YOU! KRATOS!" I screamed.
He tossed me to Lloyd who caught me. Barely. I was too busy ranting at Kratos to notice.
"NIBI WILL EAT YOUR SOUL! GOBI AND I WILL FEAST ON YOUR DEAD FLESH!" I yelled.
"Ew." Genis muttered.
"Who are Nibi and Gobi?" Raine asked.
"My best friends."
"Where are Nibi and Gobi?" Kratos asked.
"Up your ass and around the corner." I muttered. "There isn't a lot to do but stare at the stick up your fucking ass."
In my head Nibi was laughing.
"Sheesh, more like a fucking pine tree shoved up your ass." I kept muttering under my breath.
"You do know we can hear you right?"
I sighed. "Yes. I think that was the point of saying it. It is the reason anyone says anything."
I got up out of my brothers arms and patted myself down.
We were almost at the end of the temple. Alternatively, at the entrance whatever.
Somewhere where butterflies are not against me
"She has your attitude you know." A woman's voice echoed.
"Yes, so does he." Another woman replied.
"Momma is gonna make you all proud. Ooo! I see a butterfly! I must chase and kill!" A female child's voice laughed.
A sweatdrop ran down the two women's heads.
"Mother always had a loud voice. I am surprised you cannot hear her in Palmacosta." A male child sighed.
"Mom is totally awesome! I can't wait to see her bash so more heads in!" Another boy laughed.
"We will see her soon."
Five pairs of eyes stared down at a pool of water reflecting Neko and the others.
"Oh yeah. Are we the reasons Momma is so paranoid?"
"Sometimes I think that. But I think that she was that way ever since she was born."
"Oh."
"We love you Momma!" The female child yelled.

Okay I do not own Nymphetamine (Cradle of Filth sings this song), Animals (Nickleback sing this song), Being Alright (Tsunami Bomb sings this one), or Thanks for the Memories (And Fall Out Boy sings this one). Oh, Enter Sandman is by Metallica. I don't own that either. Thanks for reviewing people. It makes me write faster.
