Chapter Two: The Crazy Kitsune Cometh!

"Oh dear God," the twins mutter as they here the voice of a young girl.

"DADADADADAAAAAAAAA!" The door flings open and hits the door with a nice thud. A girl with bright red hair, bright green eyes, along with a nice fox tail and fox ears on the top of her head comes flying in the door. She wears a simple purple dress along with simple shoes.

She spins around on her toes like a ballerina and spins up to Dmitrii. When she stops spinning she looks from Dmitrii to Bumblebii to Byakko and says, "Hi ya! I'm Oomlaut Neethersparra! Mister Byakko called me here! I'm happy to see a cute guy is coming on the quest!" With that said she pounces on Dmitrii and hangs on his neck.

"Get off of me you nutcase!" 'Mitrii spreads his wings to full span to try an shake her off. This after a few minutes fails miserable and he gives up with a "Humph."

"You're so cute!" Oomlaut squeezes a bit harder.

"Get your dirty little hands of my brother Kitsune tramp!" Bii grabs her sword ready to brandish it.

Oomlaut sticks her tongue out and wrinkles her nose, "I'm only holding on because I'm so cold! How can you people stand it! You just live in a frozen nightmare if you ask me!"

Dmitrii sighs, "You come form the Regiones Trorridae, don't you?"

"Yep siry Bob!"

"Oh joy." Regiones Trorridae is one of the few places that is still a tropical rain forest in the Odd Realm Out. It was small and few people--correction--humans and demons lived there. It was a place for the race of fox people, Kitsune, and most shapeshifters. These two races got along quite well with each other, much like the humans and the unicorns. Oh course most demons despised Kitsune because of their excessive energy. Pity they have to travel with the nuttiest of Kitsune.

"Well, This dear lady is Oomlaut Neethersparra. I hope you enjoy her company on your trip," Byakko smiles and continues, "You must set out for the edge of town immediately! Say your farewells to your parents and loved ones. Sacheverell will be waiting for you at the edge of town."

Bumblebii clears her throat, "Excuse me! You mean we have to travel with that freak over there!?" She still has her hand on her sword hilt.

"Yes, Is there a problem? I should imagine Sacheverell would enjoy her company."

Bii just closes her eyes and snorts. Leaving this to her more logic, happy, naïve brother at least she thought that.

"You don't know Sachie then! We've been friends since he was we were three, We know how he thinks about hyperactive people. Even if he works as a masseur, he doesn't enjoy Kitsune."

"I've know him for longer then you, but you're most likely right. I'm sorry but he'll have to deal with it, As will you."

"Damn it," the twins curse under there breath at the same time no less.

"Gee! Cheer up! Evil will fear the names Oomlaut, Bumblebii and Dmitrii!" She lets go of 'Mitrii and makes a victory pose. Finger in the air pointing to some random direction. She couldn't be more then five feet three inches in height, and compared to Bii and 'Mitrii who both border on six feet one inch it was well...funny.

'Mitrii grasps this moment by saying, "Or laugh themselves to death."

"Oh shut up you..."

"Please say your good byes and leave soon...." Byakko begs.

"Okay! Where are our parents?" Bii taps her foot a bit impatient.

"Outside, first door on the right. Then again you might want some sort of guide so um...you won't kill Oomlaut."

"Hey don't look at me!" 'Mitrii raises his hands in the common defense shrug.

Everyone's eyes turn to be as she grasps her sword hilt tighter. She notices the occupants of the room staring at her and looks up, "What?! I'm not that hot headed! I wouldn't kill her, as much as I would like to!"

"Dmitrii can you control your twin?" Byakko asks a bit worried.

"Yes, of course I can!"

"Will you?"

"Um...I'm not promising anything."

"Hey! I'm not that bad!" Oomlaut shouts at the top of her lungs.

"Please...can we get this over with?" Bii sighs and puts her hand on her face so that it covers the tight side of her face. She moans as she walks out following her brother and the Kitsune.

"Hello Mater! Did you ever get to talk to Sachie?"

"No, 'Mitrii, but I would like to have a talk with the three of you. It's about the gates, it's that each of you has a gate of his or her own."

"I'm lost Mistress Czatil," Oomlaut sits drinking tea. They were all in a small parlor of sorts. It was decorated with assorted fancies, of gold and silver. It wasn't a special room, it was just used for small group get together by mages or knights. They were sitting at a large round table drinking tea and other random beverages.

Salix clears her throat, "You see each gate has...um...elements of sorts. You see each gate was once controlled by a mage for different regions. Maybe it I tell you what gate you have to open you'll understand a bit more?"

"Go for it Mom," Bii mutters as she sips some hot chocolate.

"All right, Bumblebii you have The Gate of the Noon Day Sun. Oomlaut has the Gate of Fire and Rain. Sacheverell has the Gate of Pains and Ice. Last but not least Dmitrii has the gate of Mysteries and Deception."

"What stupid names!" Oomlaut puts down her tea. "Back then people had no creativity!"

"Really? I thought the same thing. Pity you can't change it," Allen shrugs and continues to drink his coffee.

"So I guess we're off?" Dmitrii says quietly into his cup.

"Yeah we should get going...." Bii sighs.

"If we're late Sachie will probably kill us!" 'Mitrii grins as he puts his cup down.

"Yes, We hope to see you all very soon!" Salix gets up, hugs her children and give Oomlaut a handshake.

"This will be a very tough mission. Be careful all of you! We all want you back in one piece..." Allen grins and gives the group a thumbs up.

"Don't worry Pater! If we find stationary we'll most likely write! We're off!" 'Mitrii gives a sweeping bow and leaves the room. Bii follows close behind rolling her eyes, and Oomlaut sips the last of her tea and follows.

Salix sighs, "Like all who watch their children depart, I pray to any god that wish to hear me. Let our children be safe..."

"We should have told them how important it is, Salix. You know what happened to Raymond Pikkeru."

"Yes, I wish we could have told Sachie."

Dmitrii is flying just above the houses as Bumblebii is running through the crowds. Oomlaut is following them slowly while skipping and whistling along merrily. The twins take a sharp turn down a secondary road, and Oomlaut just follows skipping. Bumblebii slows down so she can wait for her and waves her brother on. Bii turns to the skipping Oomlaut, "We're going to take a short cut Oomlaut so keep up."

She stops whistling, "How fast can you guys run?"

"Fast enough. Just keep up," with that said Bii turns and begins a fast paced run to catch up with her flying brother. She is quickly passed by a small red blur passes her by. She stops dead, "What was that?"

"Bii! Keep up! We only have a few house to g--" Dmitrii changes his flight course because he almost hit a chimney. "Um...whoops. Just come on!"

Bii shakes her head as she begins to run to her brother. At least they would have someone sane in their group when they met up wit Sachie.

Four hours later they had arrived near the edge of town. Many Victorian style house lined the streets. It was a pretty neighborhood, from the looks of it very quiet. The three of them are walking down the main street. No people were in the streets, nothing for that matter was out. Except a boy. A young teenage boy was sitting on the steps of a pure white house. He was had green shoulder length hair covering falling down so his face wasn't visible. All the people weren't outside because of him...

'Mitrii yells, "Sachie!" and then flies to greet him....

We end on this note. Fear not! Some of the answers to your many questions will be answered! You will meet the dear boy, Sacheverell in the next chapter of The Odd Realm Out. I hope you enjoyed this chapter of Toro dear patrons....
