Chapter 9

Chapter 9

'Voices in my head and Dragoneye'

Thank you for waiting for this chapter. I'm not out of school yet, so it is great that people can wait. The last chapter was depressing, but needed for the story. There will be a few more chapters like that during this story but hopefully Neko will stay as, uh, charming as ever.

After my little break last night, I knew that I would have to be careful around Lloyd and the others if I wanted to keep my secrets.

The others didn't walk on eggshells thank the stars, but they were wary on talking to me. It was as if I was going to burst into flames, burn them alive, then drop a brick on their ashes! I snickered at the thought of dropping a brick on anyone's ashes. I hated people asking if I was okay, or trying to cheer me up!

I am not a happy person, I'm not a Colette.

Kratos would look at me more, Raine didn't glare at me as much, Colette would smile towards me even more, Lloyd would throw me looks now and then, and Genis would throw worried looks at Lloyd and me.

I twitched and growled lowly when Lloyd looked at me again.

"Lloyd, come over here for a second, please."

He did so and looked me over.

"Do I look like a carnival slideshow, to you brother? If you look at me, again like that I will carve out your eyes. Do you understand, brother? You are really pissing me off."

He averted his eyes and looked down at the sand. "Does it hurt?" I asked.

"What?"

"Me. Does it hurt you for me to push you away? Did it hurt when I disappear?"

"Yes it did."

"Well if you guys don't stop you'll lose me again. I hate being treated as if I had a break. Ignore it ever happened. If you forget what is hurting you Lloyd than it will help."

"But it doesn't help you."

"It doesn't matter Lloyd."

'I know it's hard for you Lloyd but to make you happy, I'll be a fake. I'll be fake, I best at that.'

I smiled. "I'm going to scout ahead."

I smacked Kasai in the back of the head and then took off. Genis yelped as I passed him. Kasai ran next to me.

Once I was out of eyesight and hearing range two blood trails appeared on my face.

"Why are you crying, Neko?" Kasai asked.

"Kasai, all I am is a stupid fake. I can't be myself if people don't except it. I can't tell them I had a husband or kits! I can't tell them anything, I knew that this would be the breaking point, when they found out I was a demon. I was born from a human, born into a small town, born into clan life, I was born in Hell!"

Two snakes popped up and they burst into flames as I passed. Snakes kept popping up and I kept burning. Burning until they were all dead and ash in the wind.

I wiped my tears away and stared at the sky. There were dark clouds coming in from the Ossa Trail. We are probably going to stop there from the rain. I smiled as I remembered the rain.

Flashback

"Dragoneye, can I actually get out of this place?"

"Yes Neko! Don't you dare doubt yourself! Think about our kits! Think about your brother! Listen to yourself! We are going to get out of here if kills us."

I limped out of the shadows, blood covering me as I held my arm to my side. My leg and tail dragged in the dusty concrete floors. I hissed,

"That's what you said last time, do you remember?"

Crimson eyes averted to the floor and sighed. "It's raining. It's raining."

I looked outside and smiled. "We are going to get out of here."

Flashback end

"Neko!" I blinked out of my little dream and turned to Lloyd. "Yeah?"

"You okay?"

I twitched. "If anyone asks that one more time I am and I will bludgeon you with a spoon until all of you bones are broken as I put you into Noishe's food dish. I AM NOT GOING TO BLOW UP! I AM NOT GOING TO GO MORE INSANE THAN I ALREADY AM! STOP ASKING ME THAT QUESTION!" I shrieked waving my hands around. "DEAR STARS STRIKE ME DEAD WITH LIGHTNING IF THIS IS GOING TO KEEP UP!"

Genis muttered, "She's back."

I stopped and stared at him. "Where did I go? DID I GO TO THE NEXT TEMPLE! I JUST DRIFTED UP AND AWAY TO A FREAKING DREAM! NO! STOP STARING, STOP TREATING ME LIKES A PSYCHOTIC LOONEY THAT JUST HAD A PSYCHOTIC BREAK AND UNLESS YOU ARE KIND TO ME, I WILL GO ON A STABBING RAMPAGE! I'M NOT! NOT! NOT! NOT!"

I turned around on my heel and stalked out to the Ossa Trail. I glared at the ground and started to calm down, slowly.

Ossa Trail was lined with trees and had a beautiful forest. The forest always made me feel at peace. It was beautiful. Trees, grass, flowers, lakes, and ponds. Untouched by the wars, untouched by people. I smiled.

Scents drifted into range and my ears perked up. I know that smell. "Tricksters, Flyers, Darkclan, and Earthclan?" I smirked, "Oh, this is gonna be fun." I raised my voice. "There is rain coming so we better hurry up."

I started to snicker evilly thinking about the things I am going to do to. "I wonder if Skulleye will freak."

'Chosen-sama?' I looked around and blinked. 'It's Faianeko."

'Hello Faianeko-sama, are you adjusting well? I hope Nibi and Gobi aren't bothering you. Thank you for talking to me when Kratos scared me.'

'I'm adjusting great, but that wasn't me.'

'What? Was it Nibi or Gobi?'

'No, it was an outside voice.'

My heart almost stopped. Who would say that? Who would call me their little warrior? Nekomata-sama calls me little demon kit, not warrior. Who was that?

My eyes searched the ground trying to find an answer. I called my kits that. My eyes widened and took out the cards. I grabbed the first card of the deck.

My eyes threatened to drop out of my head. On the front was a pair of blue eyes. Dark brown cat paws could be seen. A silver outline appeared on the cats' body and outlined wings.

Two angelic wings, about the size of two cats! I flipped it over.

'My warrior, be strong, I am the light that is going to guide you with sister earth, May you have a wonderful journey- Light'

I blinked. "Light?" I muttered.

I flipped over another card; a small brown cat was on a rock. Leaves and plants surrounded everything as small angelic wings stretched out. Soft green eyes stared at me. On her chest was a small crimson diamond pendant. Kinda like Colette's Cruxis crystal but older and slightly smaller. On her paws were golden bands and on her tail was a ribbon of some sort.

I turned it over and looked curiously at the back.

"Earth." It read.

I blinked and focused on the back of the card. Words appeared.

'Ah, you have found peace in you life. Your brother, your friends, May you take good care and good tidings to you. –Earth.'

"Crap! More complicated." I hissed to myself.

"Neko?" A cheery voice chimed. I blinked out of my stupor and stared into happy crystal blue eyes.

I nodded. "Yes, Colette?"

"You look confused."

"Oh, just thinking."

She smiled and looked up towards the sky. "It's doesn't look like it's going to rain."

"It is, it's about a few hours away. I can sense it."

She smiled even wider.

"That's so cool!"

I blinked and then she giggled. She pinched my ears and tugged them slightly. "They are so cute."

I whined pitifully. "Lloyd, Kratos, please someone help me. Help. Help."

I said 'help' every time she tugged on my ears. Lloyd found it funny.

"Yosomono, if you do not help me I will climb on top or your damn shoulders and scream into your ears." I shrieked.

"Too bad." I gaped at him and twitched. I growled and jumped on. He dodged. I back flipped and tried to tackle him.

He dodged again. I twitched and flipped again. I smirked. "You wanna play, decoy? Fine. I'll play cat."

I crouched down and ran in a random pattern. He tracked me and I smirked even wider. I flipped in random directions. "Night strikes. Rose of blood." I appeared from thin air and aimed for his neck. His sword flung my katana to the side. He flipped backwards when I swung my legs as a counterattack.

"Assassin of the blood!" I shrieked.

I disappeared and attacked. Blood appeared in a small ball and burst distracting him. I burst out from the shadows and swung my katana straight down over his head. He blocked smirking. I kicked off his sword and bent backwards to stab him with my katana. He jumped backwards again. I crouched down.

"I haven't trained properly in a very long time." I smirked. "Once we settle down later, how bout' a little spar?"

"I would like that." He responded.

"Yay!" I smiled.

"You're so full of energy, ne?" Kasai chuckled. "Give me three fire rings now!" I blinked and three small bands of fire halos appeared above my head.

"Keep them with you. Do not dismiss them." She started to walk again.

I sighed and walked up to her. "Do I have to do this? You know I hate this exercise!" She glared at me and looked back ahead. I shrugged and dragged the fire halos behind me. They jumped over another and danced slightly.

I hummed to myself oblivious to the dancing and spinning the halos were doing.

"Neko?" I looked up and the halos dropped.

"Yeah?"

Genis sighed. "Nevermind."

I shrugged and ran up ahead a little. I grabbed one of the fire rings and threw it at popping up sidewinders.

"Hey Colette."

"Yes." How do you use chakrams?"

"Um. You throw them in a slight circle." I handed her a halo.

"Can you show me?" She looked at the fire ring.

"It won't hurt you." She nodded and timidly took it out of my hands. It didn't burn her.

"It's warm." She smiled.

"I practiced it. I wanted to help a friend of mine out. That helped me keep the temperature at a non-burning level until I say so. It's kind of cool. If you want I could add fire gems to your chakrams."

She looked up curiously.

"They are special gems that I embed into the weapon. With a drop of blood from the weapon holder, they only hurt the people who they want to hurt. Shriekingwillow and I created them for my clan. I can make some if you wish."

"Can you?" She asked hyper.

I nodded. "Just show me how the chakram works."

She nodded and threw it as if she would at an enemy. I nodded.

"Okay last thing is to show me a defensive move."

She flung her chakrams up at my say so and twirled them slightly.

I nodded. Simple as hell.

"If it's okay I rather do it at night." She nodded. "Anyone else?"

Lloyd and Genis raised their hands. I rolled my eyes. "Fine."

"Hey Neko?"

I looked to Genis.

"Why do you have two swords when you only use one?"

I shrugged. "Some dude gave one of them to me when he customized my sword. I fought with a sword like it before so I might be able to fight with it again."

He nodded.

I looked to the upcoming Ossa trail. I smiled slightly. I wonder who is still there. I hope that they are all okay.

Time to talk to myself again!

'Hello! I am so happy! Oh, can you see me child? I can see you are happy and that makes me happy! Oh, happy! Happy! Oh, dancing with flowers!'

'Shut the hell you domesticated feline!'

"What the hell did you just call me, Gobi?'

Or maybe not,

'Oh, Chosen-sama, you are here to hear the bickering. They are best friends are they not?'

'Yes, Faianeko-sama. They are one weird pair are they not?'

'Where is Gobi-san from? I don't remember her. Was she from Tethe'alla?'

'Yes, she is from the earth temple. She won't tell me what exactly why she was torn away from Tethe'alla, but from what I understand someone tried to kill her. She said that I was the only 'being' that she could escape to.'

'That must have been horrible. I know that leaving my home to guide that damn seal. I hated being there.'

'I understand. I am going to hate leaving here to go to hell but I know it must be done. I wonder what my mother will think.'

'Well I was your mother I would be. I think a true mother would always be proud of her child. Maybe disappointed in small things but this is something that will change your life. That I think your mother would proud of. You are giving up your life here for the well being of the worlds.'

'Thank you Faianeko-sama. Tell me do you know anything about the Chosen of Hell journey?'

'No not much, I do know some small things. I know of a great importance of the worlds that this journey is. The worlds depend on when people die and when things live. There was no heaven at anytime. Now instead of the 'Otherworld' we call Hell, well Hell. There were no scriptures until people got us confused with light beings like Aska and Luna. That is when the 'heaven versus hell' crap comes in. We are shadow beings. We cannot survive without light but we rather stay in the dark where we belong. The 'Stars' were the closest things that were heaven. That is the afterlife. Demons were born as creatures of habit and elements. For example, you were born from humans, demon cats, and other elements, I was born from fire and death cats. There for a fire based Nekomata. Understand?"

'Yes, so you are saying that demons are created by elemental and earthly reasons?'

'Yes. From what I understand, you will go through trials and become queen of the underworld. Isn't that exciting?'

'Uh, yeah.'

I heard laughing and the link cut off. I blinked and sighed quietly. 'Queen? Am I ready?'

I stared up at the hiding stars and wished that I would receive a sign.

I looked at the others in the group. Lloyd, Genis, and Colette were laughing with Raine reading a book and Kratos trailing along looking content.

Why should I be here? Do I really belong?

I spotted something in the shadows of a few rocks. A lone flowering rose waved slightly. I smiled.

"I can always count on you, thank you Dragoneye." I mouthed silently.

The rose turned slowly into ash and blew away in the wind. I looked at the shadows. You are always watching me aren't you Dragoneye?

I smiled brightly, for the first time in awhile. A true smile.

Dragoneye is gone but his spirit lives on!

I opened my eyes untrained on the passing sand, sometimes a glimpse of trailing fire halos.

I looked at the very close opening to Ossa Trail.

I heard something that made my day.

'Sing to me; sing to me my angel…'

My eyes lit up when I saw the rush of monsters coming towards us. Kratos was taking out his sword when I stopped him with my hand.

"Let me handle it."

I jumped and faced the monsters. I held my arms out and fire circled my wrists.

'I will Dragoneye!'

My eyes snapped open and I leaped at the incoming monsters.

'tamashii no hanashi wo kikasete yo

hitomi wo sorasazu mitsumete yo

anata wa watashi ga doko nimo inai to omotteru'

I smiled and kept singing. I slashed through three ladybug monsters in a few seconds as I dodged hits from the others. I smiled.

'Fire Hell!' I screamed in my mind.

mienai basho made hashiru nara

iranai kazari wa furisutete

kokoro wo mukidashi ni shitemo nimotsu wa omosugiru no

Fire surrounded my body as it lashed out against the monsters. They were shot down one by one.

'Nightwing thank you.'

I smiled slightly and took on the last monsters. I loved singing for my clan. I was going to be named Singingheart but Dragoneye thought it was too corny. I chuckled slightly at the thought. Only few weak monsters that lived in Ossa trail as prey instead of things to fight.

Flashback

I crouched down in the bushes my tail swinging side to side. I had a warrior name but no apprentice training. That wasn't normal so the Clan thought that they should teach me as an apprentice. Except I didn't just have one mentor I had the whole clan teaching me. A small hawk monster hopped slightly, looking around ever so slightly. I tensed and jumped for it but I missed. A large black cat flew out of the bushes and killed it with a single bite. It landed and dropped the bird.

"Soulclaw! You aim up then down." I blushed. I wasn't used to this at all but I wanted to try my hardest.

"Yes Skullwing." I sighed. I ran off and looked around. A small Axe beak was jumping around. My eyes lit up and I crouched down. After a few seconds, I pounced on it and killed it. I smiled and I squealed slightly. My first fresh kill! I smiled and picked it up and ran back to camp.

The other apprentices mewled with joy! I was now an official clan member! I provided for the clan and I was now a true warrior! I was so happy.

Flashback end

I twisted around slightly to look at the others. I chuckled slightly.

"I might be meeting some old friends. I needed some practice." Raine looked slightly disturbed.

"Who are these friends?"

"Ah, my best. They are the ones who taught me to fight!"

Ah, we finally are here. The smells of the earth, flowers, and fresh kill, monsters. Hasn't changed much. We started to walk up the way and we got up to a small rocky clearing. A figure jumped down. It was a black haired woman with an um…-sizable chest…yeah….okay then…mommy.

She was wearing odd attire. Then again, I'm not one to speak up.

'A Tethe'allan?' Gobi asked.

'Huh?' I replied.

"Is the chosen of mana among you?" She asked.

"Who are you?" Raine asked.

"Oh, that's me!" Colette waved.

"Prepare to die!" She spat and ran at Colette. I ran in to help her and Colette tripped. She fucking tripped. What the hell?

The wave hands about as if a windmill had its effect and opened some type of trap door. I stopped and stood up as the older woman screamed and fell into the hole. I slapped my face.

Colette shot up and apologized. I again…slapped my face. Okay then.

I sighed and walked over to the slightly stunned Genis who started to calculate the distance and her weight to tell if she was alive or not. Was this some type of elf coping method? Fascinating.

I walked over to Kratos. "Kratos, in that all knowing mind of yours, why the hell can be so clumsy and yet very useful and good in battle?"

"Not a clue." He deadpanned.

I raised my eyebrow. "Well Yosomono that I so freakin' agree with you on." Lloyd was talking to Genis about math while Colette glanced worriedly down the trap door and Raine was trying to teach Lloyd about old abandoned mine shafts. What were Yosomono and I doing? Well we were staring at them as if we dealt with this all of our lives.

"Those clothes." Kratos muttered.

I raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything.

I sighed and looked out to the lush forest. My claws tingled with excitement. I was head over heels with nature. Heh, I was always one to drift off and smile.

Kratos seemed at peace also. He was looking out somewhat emotionlessly to the land. Colette was staring at the dark clouds and Raine was talking about the clouds. I sighed. I wonder how I'm going to explain the cats. I sighed and looked for Kasai. She was walking up from the opening of the trail.

"Axe beak." She said dryly. I nodded. Those things were great food.

I started to walk up the trail knowing it by heart. The dead tree, the flowers, the smell of lavender in the breeze. Kasai jumped up on a nearby rock. I nodded. She looked around slightly picking up Lloyd and Genis' conversation.

"Kasai, I'm meeting friends close by. They are very distinctive."

The Nekomata smiled and nodded. I thought about what Faianeko-sama said. Kasai was made of fire and Nekomatas too. Cool.

We were soon walking on the higher part of the hill. It broke off into a higher trail and the lower trail leading to the forest. Just a few more moments.

"Hey, do you mind if we stay with my friends? Just until the rain is over?"

"Who are your friends?"

"People like me. People who were thrown out. They are nice. Please?" I gave Lloyd the kitty eyes... He and Colette fell to my side immediately. Kratos and Raine? Not so much.

"Are these people going to hurt Colette?"

I growled. "My clan mates would never. I don't like the way you accuse them like that."

"Neko is a good person who sees character. She wouldn't lead Colette into a trap!" Lloyd said carefully.

I smiled. "Thank you Lloyd."

"I never said that. I just want to be careful. Look what happened earlier."

"You mean the assassin? Oh, my clan is not drawn into any dealings except with each other. That is against the code." I smiled. "That shall never be done. I made sure of that. No offense to you, but our kind, demon and animal-kind are not welcome to you. After all, my best friend was killed by a human. She was a strong warrior. Stars bless her." I muttered the last part.

She glared slightly at me. "Colette would you like to meet my friends?"

She nodded. I smirked at Raine. She sighed and looked up at the sky.

I looked to Genis and Yosomono. "What about you two?"

Kratos shrugged and Genis nodded. I sweatdropped.

'Dear Stars! Can he be more of an emotionless fuzzball?'

A few more feet and we would be at the highest point of the middle trail. It then split into the top and bottom trail. I saw up on a rocky hill was a large tree that was twisted with age. When I was somewhat of an apprentice, I climbed trees like that all day long. It was my training while I learned to run in trees.

I just noticed something. I don't have my fire halos anymore. I took a cautious glance at Kasai. She didn't say anything. I created another set of three and sighed.

A large crack of wood from somewhere echoed loudly before a large explosion shook the ground. I flew backwards onto my back. Kasai skidded backwards with Genis; Colette screamed and fell on the ground. Raine skidded next to Colette and Lloyd. What did Yosomono do? What did Kratos do? HE STOOD THERE AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED.

I gaped for a second and slapped my face. I mentally shot curses at him as I got up.

"Chosen!"

I slapped my face for the second time.

The smoke cleared and we saw the woman from earlier.

"DEAR STARS!" I shrieked. "WHAT THE HELL!" The woman stared at me. I sighed. "Looky here. I am not in the mood to fight you. You will be in a very bad position to fight. Do you understand, crazy lady trying to kill Colette?" I bit back my anger. This was like before. I must start to become whom I am and not lose it all the time.

I looked at her coldly. She was trying to hurt my friends. No one got away with that. My eyes narrowed hatefully as my attitude changed.

When I was little, I had this…alter ego. It was sweet and kind to me. When someone was mean to me, it roared to life, threatening to kill. It was like there was another force telling me to stand up for myself.

I soon learned it was my 'demon' side. Since I was raised as a human, this side went dormant and only came out when I felt threatened or there was immense rage or hate. It was weird at first, but when I needed it, it helped me.

It never took over me completely but I was still hateful when something or someone was threatened.

I could see from the side of my eyes, that the others noticed the change too. The woman glared.

"I will kill the chosen."

Lloyd opened his mouth to say something. I cut him off.

"Lloyd, she is set in her ways and you cannot talk her out of them. Just fight." I snarled.

I ran towards her and she pulled out some type of card.

"Wind Guardian!" She screamed as a large white cloud of smoke appeared from the card. I hissed and swung my sword in front of me. I hit something. The smoke was blown away by…what the hell is it?

It looked like a cross with toxic slime, a bird, and a giant water wheel. I yowled when an invisible gust of wind attacked me. I skidded slightly and glared at the thing that crawled out from…who knows where.

"Kasai!" I yelled. A flaming wheel crashed onto the thingy as it slammed into the ground and then leaped next to me. Kasai stood there, her tail lashing violently as the flames dispersed. I ran while I had the chance to kick it in its beak and slash at it. It only groaned in slight pain.

I growled and slashed at again with its arms taking the attack. I narrowed my eyes. "Mud slide!" I yelled and jumped back. Large brown mana rocks piled down out of thin air. A circle appeared under it. I ran back in front of Kasai and used NightShield. The wind magic hit the shield, most of it bouncing off, but some breaking through the shield and cutting my face.

"Kasai, change tactics. You distract and I see if the others need help." She nodded and jumped over the shield and I ran over to Genis.

"Dude use lightning on the bird thing." He nodded and I took off and jumped at the woman who was distracted by Kratos and Lloyd.

I slashed at her and she barely dodged as she laid a freaky card on my shoulder. As she jumped away, the card blew up. I yowled as used my momentum from the fall to launch myself at her. She yelled something and shoved a card in my face. I twisted slightly so the card went over my head and I swung at her.

She growled and jumped away, making sure to leave another card behind my back. It blew up sending me to the ground. I rolled over narrowly dodging another card as I felt green mana flow over me. I looked up to see Kratos finishing First Aid.

"Arigato Yosomono!" I yelled as I ran up to Lloyd and gave him an apple gel. He ran back as I got into a sword/card fight. Her cards easily deflected any mana. I growled and swung a round kick at her. She jumped off my leg as I ran at her punching her on her shoulder as she turned to lay another card on me. She twirled slightly. I glared at her.

I jumped back hearing Lloyds footsteps. Lloyd now took her on. I ran to Raine giving her an orange gel while standing back panting for a few seconds.

I looked down to see that I had seven orange gels and ten apple gels. I grabbed one and smeared it on my shoulder. The wound sizzled slightly then started to bleed less. Colette and Kasai were now attacking the bird thing with Genis bringing in Lightning spells. I looked over to Raine who was casting First Aid, Kratos who was now attacking the assassin, and Lloyd who was panting badly.

I nodded to myself. I should have some more energy left for a healing spell for Colette and then Lloyd. I put my sword in front of me and chanted slightly. A green circle appeared underneath me.

"Cat's bell!" Colette glowed slightly as I yelled the command and she regained some health.

I started to do another spell when I saw Kratos blown up. A lighter green circle appeared under me. I chanted again.

"Come to my aid mother earth; heal who I call, as a generous gift."

"Earths' Life!" Kratos glowed with green mana as his leg wound healed up completely.

I grinned slightly and ran to Genis. "Dude, you alright?"

He nodded. I put an orange gel next to him as I ran toward Colette firing a demon fang right at the bird thing.

She smiled and started her own attack. "Pow hammer!" A red squeaky hammer appeared in a flash of light mana and whacked the bird on the head. It shrieked as it disappeared in some smoke. I blinked, decided I would rant later and looked toward the assassin.

She jumped back. "I'll get you next time!" She disappeared. In a poof of smoke. What the hell is she?

I looked to 'my' team. Kratos was okay, Genis was tired, Colette was panting, Raine was healing, Lloyd was next to Colette, and Kasai was sitting down licking a wound. I collapsed and sighed. Sheathing my sword and smelled the air.

I winced. "Bad rain. Oh, very bad rain." Everyone looked at me. "It's going to be a nice loud shower. Got to find the clans. Excuse me."

I hopped up and ran over to the end of the trail. A fox was lying down underneath a tree.

I smiled, "Hello?" The fox looked up. "I am a trickster, also. I need to see the clan." The fox blinked.

"My name is Soulclaw." The fox shot up and ran up a tree.

"Soulclaw? Is that really you?"

"Yes, I would like to see everybody."

The fox jumped out of the tree. I hugged it. "I missed you Flower." The fox licked my cheek.

I looked down. "I don't mean to impose on your territory but my friends also need a place to stay."

Flower looked at me. "You have friends?" I glared.

"Let me see them."

I grinned as she jumped on my head and I ran back over to the group. They were staring. Staring like zombies. Creepy.

"Flower, this is Yosomono or Kratos, Raine, Genis, Colette, Kasai, and Lloyd."

Flower hopped down and walked over to Lloyd.

"So you're the brother that Neko talked about." Lloyd pointed at her. "Yes I talk. Moron."

"Hey! No one calls my brother a moron but me! You can call him Shiningpaw; he is still probably an apprentice." She giggled. "What?"

"So let me guess, his warrior name is Shiningheart." I nodded. "So idealist much?" I nodded again.

"Cute. I don't think anyone would mind. They get to see you again. Oh, I need you to talk to Queen and King."

"Fight?"

"He forgot her anniversary." I winced. "Dude, the camp smells clean!" She shrieked.

"Oh my stars! You got to be kidding me it normally…smells…can't say that here."

"Like fox sex." She barked in 'fox' language.

"Yeah. That's what it smelled like constantly. I knew things that kids my age shouldn't know." I laughed.

"Yeah. Perverted cat."

I twitched. "What the hell does that mean?"

"Dude do you remember when you apprenticed under King? All the people thought you were weak and stupid. You beat them shitless and outsmarted in 'conversation'."

"Yeah, I did didn't I?"

"Idiot."

"Hey!"

She laughed and started to walk. "Skullwing was pretty upset." She started to run. I whimpered. "Yosomono. Can I use you as a human shield?"

"No."

"Damn. Follow me." They did so as I smiled at Kasai. "You might meet some friends."

"Yes, mother." I laughed.

WOOT ANOTHER CHAPTER DONE! 13 pages too. Yay. Anyway. Next chapter is about where we will be staying. Oh, I think that I will have a ton of fun with next chapter. FEAR!

Don't think I used any Japanese words. Next chapter? Oh, to you people who want Japanese cuss words you got them!

REVIEW! I hope you didn't forget this crazy story! Thank you!

Reviews help me think of more ways to torture…Kratos or Mithos. Either one.
