"ERISSS!!!" The dark god hissed as it stalked into the room, anger and disdain burning in the slits of his reptillian eyes.
Blinking her eyes in shock, Eris said, "And what do you think you're doing, Set? Ranma is in Loki's and MY jurisdiction. You have no reign here!"
Smirking evilly, Set answered, "Ssso sssorry Eriss... But I've gone over your head on thisss one..."
Narrowing her eyes, Eris asked, "What do you mean, Set?"
"Did you forget?" Set asked. "The cat goddesss Bassstet is MY enemy! Going to father, I have asssked to PERSSSONALLY be the one to mold Bassstet'sss champion... Therefore it isss I who shall mold Kasssumi Tendo into Ranma Sssaotome'sss ultimate opponent!!!"
"Huh?" Eris said in surprise, But Ranma is-"
It was then that Set thrust a formal document into Eris's face. Grabbing the paper from Set's scaly hand, she red over it quickly. "To the first party of Set of the second party Eris... Yada, yada, yada... Third partty, Bastet is main enemy of first party... Yada, yada, yada... Shall be one to take on third party at all turns and in all vocations, including avatars... Yada, yada, yada... Therefore the first party takes presidence over second party to make the enemy for third party's avatar..."
Looking up at Set through narrowed eyes, she daintly and plainly said. "I. Hate. You."
Smiling, Set said, "I know. Now, Missss Tendo, you're coming with me."
"But, I don't think that would be necesarry and-OH MY!" And Kasumi was then being dragged off by Set.
Still fuming in indignition, Eris was mentally making plans to get back at Set for this.
(------)
Kasumi wasn't sure what to make of the place she was in. it looked like she was in some sort of Egptian throne room, as she saw the heiroglyphs and pictures adorning the walls... And the cloth tapestries were also of ancient Egyptian weave... However, the black stone used to make up the throne room were kind of disheartening... And all the snake slithering about the floor were also putting Kasumi on edge. "Excuse me, Mister Set, but what is it you want with me?"
Waving his hand about, Set called up a crystal orb. "You sssee thisss orb? It isss a ssspecial device I have ssset up. It will show you sssome inportant information..."
With a glow and a spark, the orb lit up, showing a picture of Ranma sitting at a kitchen table with seven other people. Four cat-like people, two humans, and that girl with the wings. "You sssee thisss? Thisss isss the family that Ranma wasss sssent to protect."
"Protect?" Kasumi asked. "I don't see anything wrong with that."
Sighing, Set said, "Ranma is Bassstet'sss avatar. Asss sssuch, it would be wissse for you to know who isss clossse to him." Smirking, he said, "You should ssspecifically pay attention to these four."
Pointing to the girl with wings, Set said, "Thisss isss Charlotte. She isss a harpy. She wasss an experiment of a time travelling dog. When Ranma crushed the pooch into passste, she felt endebted to him. She really, REALLY likesss him... And he kind of likesss her too."
Pointing to a girl with cat ears, Set said, "Thisss, isss Brianna Diggersss. She isss the sssissster of of the woman that Ranma is protecting. She isss a lycanthropoid of the cheetah persssuasssion. She wantsss to get Ranma into the sssack."
Moving his hand, Set pointed to a small jaguar-like girl. "Thisss isss Sheila. She isss a jagwere and member of Jade'sss Northern Edge Guard. She wasss there visssiting her brother, Gar, but upon ssseeing Ranma, isss trying to get to know him. She really likesss him asss well..."
Pointing to the final girl, Set said, "And thisss isss who Ranma isss protecting. She is Britanny Elin Diggersss. The lassst of the werecheetah clan. Ranma hasss been sssent by that alley cat Bassstet to protect Britanny ssso that the werecheetah may have her cubsss in peace..." Smirking, he added, "I essspecially want you to pay attenttion to her, asss going after her will bring Ranma to you quickly..."
Kasumi blinked her eyes. "But, I really don't want to hurt Ranma-kun... I mean, he is such a nice young man who is willing to help others. How could I possible go and hurt him?"
Set smiled sinisterly. "Well, dear Kasssumi. I plan sssomething ssspecial for you. For you sssee, I plan to:"
"Oh my!"
"Oh my!"
"Oh my!"
"Oh my!"
"And don't worry. My ssson, Anubisss can teach you the in'sss and out'sss of being a jackal..."
"Oh my!"
