Aditi-
After having bound the humans and set off teh explosion, it finally hit me.
Why couldn't Shiori have sunken this ship if she could sink the others so easily?!
It wasn't a particularly large boat and it wasn't aextremely durable either...
I stood there in a sort of trance while humans mumbled their protests.
The crow halfer came down and immediately unbound my captives.
Startled, I let out a cry of protest but made no move against his actions.
They fled and I heard Shiori's voice above the confusion, saying something abouut Harmony's secret being safe.
Had I been manipulated again?!
The boat rocked back and forth and broke in half.
I happened to be on the human side of the boat and Shiori took out her rage.
She stirred up the water quite a bit, forcing the humans under water.
I broke into a quick swim striaght for shore, but stopped and turned around.
No way would I be welcome there when the crow spilled the news of my treachery.
Suddenly an angry voice sounded behind me, "What did you do?!"
Spinning around in the water, I turned to face Tamotsu, the human, on the back of Io in dragon form.
"What did you do with Kasumi?!" he screamed while expertly spinning a dangerous-looking chain.
What? Was he crazy? I hadn't even seen Kasumi for a while now!
"What?!" I screamed back at him, "I did nothing!"
"Liar!" he screamed and I could see the pain and hate burning in his eyes. What had happened?!

Tamotsu-
I looked everywhere for Kasumi when the commotion started, but couldnt find her anywhere.
When the serpent began to attack, I spotted her sword lying on the deck...stained with blood.
Kasumi would never leave her sword! I thought as I ran over and scooped it up in my good hand.
Just then the serpent broke the ship in half and I fell into the swirling waters.
Hugging the sword to my chest, I began to kick up towards the surface of the water.
I felt a clawed paw lift me from the depths. Io.
When she saw me and the sword, she asked grimly, "Where's Kasumi?"
I shook my head solemnly but then Xavier flew towards me saying, "That horse halfbreed was down below deck if that helps any."
Aditi, that murderous traitor to all halfers!
Io understood at once and we took off towards the swimming figure of Aditi.

Kasumi-
Floating on a piece of the split deck, I clung to a small metal box for dear life.
I had lost my sword, still uncleaned from previous battles, somewhere when I had ventured below deck to follow Aditi.
She may be a tracker but she forgets that others can track as well.
When I saw her set the explosives, I pulled a few tricks and freed the small metal box that was obviously important.
I barely got away when the world exploded and then the ship split in two.
That's how I got where I was...
Otu of the corner of my eye, I caught the sight of a limp black cat' body floating nearby.
Sky!
I reached over swiftly and scooped up my friend. When I checked for a pulse, I found one and almost immediately, she came to.
"Kasumi?" she asked confused.
"Hi there!" I replied with a smile and then held up my treasure, "We're going to Harmony."
