Chapter 49: Kasumi, the Tri-Species
(Kai's POV)
A woman with snow white silky hair, venomously green eyes with no pupil, venom blue lips, and long pearl white fangs was right in front of us behind Mag. She had on a dark purple Chinese styled top with gold trim and long black pants with gray combat boots. And in her right hand was a bow and on her back, a quiver of arrows. "Who is this?" Sensei said. "This is our final alchemist," Ally said. I don't care if she is the alchemist they need, I don't want Ally that close to her. "I am only a sub alchemist," this woman says. "Meet our old friend, Kasumi," Crystal introduced her. "So, what exactly is she?" Jay asked. Molly hit him in the back of the head. "I'm sorry, his brain is no bigger than a walnut," we all laughed at Molly's joke, all but Jay. "It's fine as long as he is ok with the fact that if he doesn't learn respect I'll rip his tongue out and use his eyes as ping-pong balls," Kasumi is really scary for some girl we just met. "Well, why do you live in a forest?" Cole asked. "Why do I want to break your arm when you ask me personal questions?" That's a 10 creepy scale. This lady is insane. "If you really have to know I'm a tri-species. I'm one third human, one third demon, and to my greatest dislike, one third annicodrai." "Wait," I said "she's a serpentine! Why do you what her to help us beat her own kind!?" "Shut up, hothead!" She just insulted me and we just met. "I hate the serpentine. The only reason I'm part annicodrai is because my mother was bitten and was mid change when I was born. And I want nothing to do with the serpentine or the annicodrai anymore." "Why?" Jay you idiot. Mag started dragging her finger across her throat to signal him to stop. "Don't… ask… me!" she started getting angry "I DON'T TALK ABOUT IT!" We backed up a bit away from her as she regained herself.
(Mag's POV)
That stupid, stupid idiot! We said don't talk about it and the first thing he thinks of is exactly that! "Sorry, but don't ask me about it. Or I'll rip your arms and legs off and use your torso as a soccer ball," I admit she comes off a little strong and scary, but… she is really nice deep down. "I barley know this woman and I already like her more than you four idiots," of course my father likes her. That's what I was counting on. She's going to be his date at my wedding. "Well, Kasumi this would be our 'wonderful' father," I said with a gesture. She grinned at our dad and the others showing her fangs. "Well, hello my new friends," she needs to learn to not sound like she's talking to an animal she's about to kill. "Well, we need you to come with us for a few things we need help with," I said placing my hand on her shoulder. "What exactly would these things be, Mag?" "Well, first off I'm getting married." Her mood flips to an opposite of pure happiness and joy as she hugs me. "Please! Let me breathe! I'm living for two, or three!" "What?" She let go and I started to breathe again. "I'm pregnant, with what my aunt says is twins." More jumps and cheers for me as she always did love children; it's one of the only not scary things about her. "Ok, second we need you to help us with a spell to trap the fangblades and stop Pythor from releasing the Great Devourer." She froze in place as soon as I said Pythor. "P-pythor, you said P-p-pythor." I nodded my head. "I'm- I'm sorry it's just- not good memories with… him," she wiped her eyes and dried a few tears. "You ok?" Ally asked. "I'm- I'm fine, and I'm happy to help you destroy that disgusting, evil, creepy, slimy, no good excuse of a SNAKE!" The group and even us backed up as she blew off whatever steam she had with the snake king. "Well, he's currently holding title as the king of serpentine, but even he is under the power of the goddess Lady Destructia," Zane explained. "Lady Destructia, the goddess of war, death, and power. She is the keeper of the Great Devourer. If she can have the greatest serpentine god's venom inserted into her bloodstream, she'll become unbeatable," Kasumi explained her plan perfectly. Another reason we cannot let the Great Devourer be released. "I can't believe that disgusting purple and blue coward got to become general and king," Kasumi began to rant as we walked back to the cabin to help pack to leave. "He always was a sniveling little mouse even as second in command! I could hardly believe when he won against the previous general, but to win against four other generals!" "He cheated, Kasumi," I said trying to calm her "he used the secret flute against his own kind." "OH THAT TRETOUREOUS LITTLE BRAT! I'll never forgive him! He ruined my life! I HATE HIM!" We finally reached the cabin to see aunt Abby, nana, Lloyd, and Donovan setting bags outside in the grass. "Hi everyone!" Donovan was jumping up and down waving to us. "Is he really related to you?" Kasumi asked. "Sure is," I said smiling.
(On the Bounty)
"Alright," I said sitting the last bag down on the deck "Lloyd, Donovan, and Ben will share a room. Nana, aunt Abby, and Kasumi will share Ben's old room. Now let's go." We carried the heavy bags to the rooms I directed to. I took Donovan's bags to Lloyd's room where we needed to set up the cot beds. "I can't believe I have a brother," Donovan was jumping up and down with joy. "Well, believe it," I said setting his suitcase on the floor "cus' you got one and three sisters." "I finally get to do stuff with boys," Lloyd said. I chuckled and left them to their fun. I carried the final bags to the last room to see nana and aunt Abby putting out wooden boxes on the floor. "What are those?" I asked setting the suitcase down on the floor. "These are the things your mother left for you before she passed away," nana said. I looked at the boxes. There were seven in total and each had a different picture on the top. "We'll hand them out to everyone when we've gathered the family," aunt Abby said.
