Hello everybody and welcome to chapter 6 of Kasumi! . Sorry I haven't been active lately. I went on vacation for a week and could barely last because I couldn't bring my computer! Ah well...Enjoy!

~NORMAL POV~

Training. Doesn't everybody love it? Gaara does, and Kasumi, well she had to do it for weeks straight. So she's just used to it.

"So," Gaara started, as they sat down in the grass, preparing for training. "What you you think your greatest ability is?" He asked as a starting question. It barely took a split second before Kasumi answered,

"Speed." She said with a smile. Gaara was silent for a second, but then quickly threw a surprise shuriken at the girl in front of him. Kasumi jumped up and it flew in between her legs.

"That wasn't my best shot, you know." Gaara remarked.

"Hm. Come at me." Kasumi smirked. Gaara then stood up and fingered three shuriken in his fingers. He quickly threw them, only to have them dodged swiftly by Kasumi. Gaara continued to throw shuriken and senbon needles. He was amazed by how gracefully Kasumi dodged them. It was like she was dancing. Soon enough, he stopped. Kasumi stopped also and eyed him suspiciously.

"Your speed is very interesting. But I have a question though," Gaara noted. Kasumi nodded, showing he could ask his question.

"What happens if you dodge these weapons with your wings unsealed?" It was a good question. Kasumi smiled.

"That's easy. I just fold my wings behind my back. Not completely into my back, but just so they won't get into the way." She responded. Gaara nodded, then proceeded to talk.

"Now, what about your weakest ability?" Kasumi thought about it for a second, then said,

"Stamina." (A/N: Pretty much like 'Life' in Monster Rancher.) Gaara raised an invisible eyebrow.

"Really?" He asked.

"Yeah," Kasumi explained, "I focused on speed, defense, and intelligence the most, so I thought with those abilities, I didn't need much stamina because of my speed and defense."

"Hm." Gaara stated. "You have a good point there." Kasumi smiled.

"So, sensei," She put emphasis on the 'sensei'. "What are we going to do?" Kasumi asked Gaara.

"We are going to test out your abilities. I want to see the things you can do WITH your wings." Gaara stated simply.

"Alright." Kasumi said, stretching. Gaara stood up as she released her wings. Kasumi looked awkwardly at the ground and then prepared to do an attack.

"Kasumi?" Gaara got her attention.

"Yes?" She answered.

"I want to see what your attacks can do on a human." He said. Kasumi was unsure.

"Are you sure Gaara? I really don't know-" She was cut off by Gaara.

"Don't worry. I'm sure." He assured her.

"Okay..." Kasumi agreed. She got into her main flying attack, Milkyway. Kasumi circled Gaara, a blue line of glitter magically floating out from her feet. She got higher and higher until she stopped and slammed her fist down in midair. All of the blue glitter flew down and hit Gaara full on. His eyes widened upon the impact and he nearly fell to the ground. Kasumi immediately flew down next to him.

"Oh gosh Gaara...are you alright?" She asked with worry. Gaara brushed it off.

"I'm fine. It was just stronger than expected." He answered swiftly. He cringed as odd pink sparks of electricity flowed over his skin and disappeared. Kasumi was horrified. This has never happened before! Gaara looked to Kasumi, expecting to get an explanation, but what he got was a shocked and concerned face.

"That...That never happened before..." Kasumi trailed off.

"Hmm..." Gaara thought about it for a second. "Could it possibly be that the effects of your attacks are different on humans then monsters?" He wondered out loud. Kasumi looked at him.

"You're a genius!" She exclaimed. Gaara dusted himself off.

"Do you have any other attacks?" He asked her. Kasumi was silent for a second, and then started giggling. Gaara was confused.

"What's so funny?" He demanded, turning around and looking at himself just in case it was something on him. Kasumi was jerked out of her giggles.

"Oh, it's just that my next attack..." She smiled. "Nevermind." Her smile turned into a smirk. Gaara was now beyond confused.

"Kasumi...what..." He trailed off. Kasumi then backed up and got ready for her next, ahem, attack: Fairy Kiss. Gaara stood, ready for what was coming at him. Kasumi flew up into the air, just a couple feet into the air, and put both of her hands to her mouth. Then she did what Gaara never expected. She blew a kiss to him, pink hearts flowing out of her hands and towards Gaara. The hearts floated around him for a second, and then swirled in a fast pace around his body. Once they cleared, Gaara was in a pink wonderland. In front of him was Kasumi. But that wasn't just it. She was in a seductive position, in only a loose bra and underwear. Her breasts popped out, and Gaara was highly confused once again. Kasumi winked at him, and the pink wonderland disappeared like cherry blossoms in the wind. When Gaara opened his eyes, Kasumi was walking towards him. Although Gaara rarely showed emotion, he was definitely shocked.

"You alright? I never know what happens when I attack somebody with that. When I ask them, they just say: You don't want to know." She explained. Gaara nodded.

"Well..." He paused for a second. "They are right..." Kasumi stood next to him.

"I have more attacks, but this one I'm debating about." She said awkwardly. Gaara nodded, telling her to go on.

"This next attack I'm going to have to say is my strongest. It knocks out monsters, if they don't have enough stamina. So, I don't know if it'll do worse to humans..." She said and looked down.

"Kasumi," Gaara assured her, "I'm stronger than you think. If monsters are stronger than me, then let me be knocked out. Hopefully it won't take long before I wake up." Kasumi looked up and smiled slightly.

"Okay..but when you get knocked out, just remember YOU were the one who told me to do this." She told him with a hint of concern in her voice. Gaara straightened himself up, readying himself for the "powerful attack" that Kasumi was going to hit him with. Kasumi flew up to him with amazing speed and hammered him with a large pink glow. The pain hit him full force and he fell backwards. There was a look of regret in Kasumi's eyes as she gathered two fireballs in both of her hands and pushed them onto Gaara's back. The searing heat went through Gaara's body. His eyes widened and he fell to the ground, limp. This was why Kasumi didn't use this technique often. The crowd always liked long battles, not just one hit and a knockout. Kasumi immediately flew down to Gaara's side.

"...Gaara?" She asked, her voice full of worry. She got even more scared when he didn't move.

"Gaara!" She said quietly. Kasumi flipped him over to inspect his wounds. A large bruise and cut on his stomach, and two more bruises and blood on his back.

"This...this what I do to all the monsters I knock out? I..I'm a horrible person!" She scolded herself for hurting all those innocent souls, and now she feels like she killed Gaara. Red flames flew over Gaara's skin, like when she used Milkyway. Dark laughter echoed in the back of her mind. Kasumi froze, staying completely silent. She whispered to nothing in particular,

"Who...who are you?" She stood up abruptly and got into a defensive stance.

"Show yourself!" She demanded. The laughter came once again.

"You'll see me in a matter of time..." The voice was feminine and it seemed like it was inside her head.

"Just remember, my vessel, the blood seal..." The voice disappeared.

'Vessel? The...blood seal?' Those two questions ran through her head. Relief flew threw Kasumi when Gaara stirred.

"Oh, thank god!" Kasumi exclaimed. She sat down next to him, worry still in her eyes. Gaara sat up and remembered where he was and what happened.

"I'm fine." He said sternly and moved to get up. He cringed as he stood up, and Kasumi stayed on the ground, staring at it with full regret in her eyes.

"Why were you standing up when I woke up? Was somebody there?" Gaara asked her. Kasumi closed her eyes tightly and shook her head.

"It was nothing." She lied to him. Gaara gave her the 'Are you serious?' look.

"I know you're lying. Tell me." Gaara demanded. Kasumi looked up at him and sighed.

"Well...when you were, you know...knocked out, this...voice was talking to me inside my head." She got out part of her word when Gaara stopped her.

"What did it say?" He asked. Kasumi gulped.

"It called me its...vessel, and she hinted that she had something to do with the blood seal..." She told him. Gaara grabbed her arm and pulled her up. Then he started pulling her back to the house.

"G-Gaara? What are you doing?" Kasumi asked once she was out of shock.

"We're going to unseal your blood seal"

A/N: DUN DUN DUNN o-o Yeah, I left you guys at a cliffhanger. Also, I really never knew how HardBreaker went. Even though I've gotten a Pixie to Rank S, I never really remembered that attack. I only remember that it has something to do with fire. So, if anybody knows how it goes, I'll fix it next time! Also, with the Fairy Kiss thing, I decided to make it kinda like a Genjutsu attack, so when Kasumi will ever attack anybody with it, they will think it's genjutsu and try to release it. Yup. So, please review! Thanks!
