Betraying My People Chapter 14:
Kasumi
"Is something wrong?" Kasumi asked.
"For some reason, you appear to be half human and half Cyniclon," Keiichiro said. "But to my knowledge, we never had Cyniclon DNA, so I don't know how you became this way."
"Do you think someone else made me this way?" Kasumi asked.
Kisshu suddenly looked worried. "What if Deep Blue did this?" he said.
"I doubt that," Keiichiro said. "Pai said he'd be almost unbeatable if he awakens; there shouldn't be any reason for him to create Mews to help. My guess is that Ryou had some Cyniclon DNA that he didn't tell me about, and he used it on Kasumi."
Kisshu looked relieved. "I guess that makes more sense," he said. "But does that mean we have to train Kasumi? It takes months to learn how to use Cyniclon powers. We don't have months."
"Not necessarily," Keiichiro said. "If she's a Mew, she may already have full control when she transforms. Look at Ichigo. She didn't need to train before going into battle; she knew how to use her powers the minute she first transformed."
"True," Kisshu said. "Do you have a transformation device for Kasumi?"
"I don't, but I bet Masha does," Keiichiro said. "Can you go get him?"
"Sure," Kisshu said, and teleported out.
"Will I be able to do that?" Kasumi asked. "That looks cool."
"I'm not sure," Keiichiro said. "I would think so, but I can't say for sure."
Kisshu teleported back in, and let Masha go; he had been holding him by the tail. "Masha is really hard to catch," he complained.
"Masha, did you have to make Kisshu catch you?" Ichigo asked.
"Masha had fun!" the puffball said cheerfully. Kisshu glared at him.
"Masha, do you have a pendant for Kasumi?" Keiichiro asked.
Masha floated over, then squeaked and spit a pendant out of his mouth. Kasumi caught it, and looked at it. It looked like the others' pendants. Then she cried, "Mew Mew Mist! Metamorpho-SIS!"
When the transformation was complete, Kasumi had dark green hair pulled back into a braid that went halfway down her back, and green eyes. She also had Cyniclon ears, and pale skin. She was wearing a black miniskirt, and a dark green t-shirt that showed her stomach. She was also wearing boots similar to Kisshu's, except they were green, not brown. She didn't have ribbons on her clothes, however. "COOL!" she said, looking at herself.
"You should have a weapon, too," Keiichiro said.
Kasumi focused, then cried, "Mist Daggers!" A pair of short daggers appeared in her hands. Each one had the kanji for fire emblazoned on the hilt. "This is great!" she said.
"Good," Keiichiro said. "Just don't do your attack in here, okay?"
"Sure," Kasumi said, making the daggers disappear. Then she detransformed. "I have to get home and feed the cats," she said. "Do you want me to give you my cell phone number?"
"Yes please," Keiichiro said. "I may need to contact you at times, so it would be good to have it."
Kasumi nodded and wrote down her number on the paper he handed her. "I'm going, so I guess I'll see you around," she said. "Ja ne!"
"Ja ne," Kisshu, Ichigo and Keiichiro replied. Kasumi smiled and went out the door.
Keiichiro turned to Kisshu and Ichigo after she left, and said, "I don't think there's anything else you need to stay for, so if you want, you can go back to the ship."
"Okay!" Kisshu said. "Do you want Masha to stay?"
"No, you can take him back," Keiichiro said. "Do you know why he gave you guys the Mew Project data? Not that I mind, but I thought he was programmed to only obey Ichigo or Ryou."
"He did," Kisshu replied. "Koneko-chan was the one who told him to give Pai the data. Clever little thing, isn't he?"
"Maybe a bit too clever, but it worked out, since we're not fighting anymore," Keiichiro said.
"What do you mean by 'too clever'?" Ichigo asked.
"Masha can think for himself," Keiichiro said. "That's why he obeyed the order to give Pai the Mew Project data, when he really shouldn't have done that. He recognized that Pai wasn't evil, and gave him the information. Frankly, I think he might have even sensed that the bad guy was Ryou, not Kisshu, Pai or Taruto."
"That's amazing, I've never heard of a robot that can think for itself," Kisshu said.
"That was probably a mistake on Ryou's part," Keiichiro admitted. "But it worked out well for all of us."
"Sure did," Ichigo said. "Kisshu, can we go back?"
"Sure, Koneko-chan," Kisshu said, taking her hand. "Bye, Keiichiro."
"Bye," Keiichiro said.
Kisshu teleported back to his room, and Ichigo let go of his hand. "What should we do now?" Kisshu asked.
"Tell Pai about Kasumi?" Ichigo suggested.
"Okay," Kisshu said.
They went to the lab, and Ichigo knocked. No response. "He's probably ignoring us," Kisshu said, and banged on the door, then shouted, "OI! PAI!"
"WHAT DO YOU WANT!?" Pai shouted back.
"I want you to come out of there and hear what we have to say," Kisshu said in a more normal, but still loud, voice.
They heard footsteps, then the door flew open, almost hitting Ichigo, and Pai said, "What is so important?"
"Kasumi is half Cyniclon," Kisshu said. "Keiichiro thinks that Ryou may have had some Cyniclon DNA and not told anyone."
"So she's not part animal?" Pai asked.
"No," Kisshu said. "She looks like us when she transforms, too."
"Wow," Pai said. "Is that all? I should get back to work."
"What are you doing?" Ichigo asked.
"Trying to determine when Deep Blue will appear," Pai said grimly.
"Then I guess we'll leave you in peace," Ichigo said. Pai went back into his lab and closed the door.
"Should we go back to your room?" Ichigo asked.
"I think it's more like our room now," Kisshu said with a smirk. "Sure."
Ichigo blushed and followed him back to their room.
I KNOW it's short. And it's filler. I just wanted to let people know a little more about Kasumi. Plz review!
