Chapter 33 - A talk.. And new family members?? (1/2)
Not wanting to wake anyone, Kai-La went around placing a blanket on each of them. Stepping back out, he went downstairs and sat at the breakfast table.
”Ughh,” all at once he felt pain run across his body. All of his body started to expand and constrict. His muscles became more solid then relaxed to their former state. His hearing picked up. For a brief moment, he heard the sounds of the waves crashing over the remnants of the Whirlpool village. Considering how far that was from his current location, he took deep breaths. Breathing slowly he tried to control himself to return to normal.
Once the sounds died down, he could feel his eyes straining. The magnification picked up the table and its entire set up. Seeing to a whole new level of subatomic particles.
”Kuff, kuff, kuff” he coughed up his stomach acid. ”Cough, cough, ah shit.” His eyes burned with the new vision. As the new sights continued to assault him, he started to fall out of his chair. Before reaching the ground he was caught.
”Easy there. I have you. Rest easy Kai-La. It will pass in moments.” A voice said from the side of him. The person set him back onto the chair.
Looking up Kai-La saw the fertility, God. Carn-La as he remembers at the moment. Dressed in a white suit still. The tribal markings on the mask looked as intimidating as ever. Looking closer he could see the different swirls of energy around him. Black strands, white strands, and clear strands. The clear strands happened to be the most abundant.
”You have anything for these headaches right now? Better yet, a way to get it to slow down at least. Closing my eyes doesn't help in the least.”
”No, I don't. But it will get better. It will pass as I said before. So... how are you feeling after that full soul merger? Experiencing a sense of identity crisis yet?” Carn-La said softly. 'Hold it togethor. You are very important.'
If Kai-La didn't know any better, he thought he could hear a touch of concern in the God's voice.
”No, I am not. The memories are troubling... they flashed quickly before. But now it is raw and at the surface.” Shaking all over Kai-La spoke a little about what he remembered.
”I have memories of a mother and father. That were not unlike my own. They cared for me and died with the Whirlpool Village. Why do that?”
”Loved ones are a fast way for emotional development. We all go through it.” Carn-La said sadly.
”Even you?” Kai-La asked. He clenched his teeth so hard he heard them grind away.
”Yes, I did. My father was a Soul Reaper that served with the Captain Commander. My mother was a Hollow that ruled a section of Hueco Mundo. Both were wounded in the war with the Quinces. I myself was raised in a pocket dimension till I was six or so. Then I was sent to the Human world. Right around the time, Ichigo mother was attacked. That is a story for another time, my friend.” Carn-La looked at Kai-La as he struggled to maintain himself.
Noting the God would not continue, Kai-La focused more on himself. The God's words had helped distract him from the pain.
”If it wasn't for the Yamanaka clan techniques I studied earlier. I don't think I would be able to have continued the fight. For the better part...survived it.” Shaking his head Kai-La started to move to get some water.
”Stop. Sit down!” Carn-La said authoritatively. ”That is a bad idea. Summon some water. You haven't relied on that ability much. I am proud of you for not doing so. But still now is a time to treat yourself.”
Waving his hands in the air Kai-La summoned a bottle of water. Popping the cap he guzzled it down quickly.
”Ah, that hit the spot.” Wiping his mouth he dismissed the bottle.
”So what is going on? You said the world is rejecting me. What can I do about it?”
”Easy. Have kids duh.”
”Come again?”
”Have more kids. Don't worry, the adopted children count. Even if you get the village of women it works the same way. The more that are apart of your family, the more the world will accept you. Plus the more my divinity works.”
”Gotcha. What about the powers? You said they will come and go. How long will it take for them to stay exactly?”
”Depends on how much divinity you can use. Also how much you create.” Looking at Kai-La relaxed pose, Carn-La relaxed in his chair as well.
”How do I get more?”
”By fulfilling Fertility and Pandemonium requirements. These are my two major aspects.”
”That sounds troublesome. Definitely will focus on my ninja skills more. So what gives with the people near me. I have noticed an increase with my feelings for them. Both good and bad. It felt like I have known them for a long time.”
”That would be my Third Divinity influencing you. Temporal Anomaly. The perception of time and the way it works. One of the reasons I am here actually. I can remove this from you, but you will become weaker. Or I can leave it alone. What will it be?”
”Is there a third option?”
”Yes. You can discard it altogether. This will, in turn, make it harder to learn anything time-related. In this world, not that bad. Considering you hate illusions and hypnotism. With what you have been gearing your cells to do, to prevent yourself and your people from falling under its effects is quite shocking.” Looking at Kai-La no longer struggling to reign his powers in he continued. ”The good side of that predicament, you can develop your own divinity. Faster than the normal time.”
”Drawbacks... what would that be specifically?” Kai-La tensed up. ”There are always drawbacks.”
”Nothing really. The world itself would no longer see you as an obstacle. Especially since your divinity was developed here anyway.”
”Considering the trials and tribulations for you to reach Silver Age Superman's status. For that wish to take full effect, you have to conquer yourself. That is harder than people think. You are old but also young. All he went through helped get him to that level. You have a ways to go.”
”Yeah discard it. Easiest option. One less hassle.”
”Very well.” With a flick of his hand, a light left Kai-La. ”How are you feeling?”
”Better.” Looking outside he could see the sun had risen. It was dawn. His ears picked up the sound of everyone moving upstairs.
”Your family is getting up. What will you do in the future?” Carn-La eyed the staircase a little?
”Meh, don't know. Train, live, eat, sleep, and f.u.c.k I guess. Do what anyone else will do.”
”Heh makes sense. Why good morning young lady.” Carn-La laughed before addressing the first person down the stairs.
”Greetings, ” Pakura said. She walked up to Kai-La and gave him a kiss on the cheek. Taking her seat at the table she looked at the stranger.
Hating stupid atmospheres for no reason, Kai-La spoke up.
”This is Carn-La. He is my Benefactor. Also, the reason any of this is possible.” Summoning some tea, coffee, and pastries around the table, He grabbed a donut for himself.
”Please to meet you,” Pakura said with a bow of her head. ”Thank you for all you have done.” Reaching over she grabbed some tea and started to mix it up.
”No problem. It was also my fault he is in this predicament as well.” Reaching over, Carn-La grabbed a croissant. ”I do love these. Especially the buttered ones.”
”Shuffle, shuffle, ” from the staircase more of the family members came down.
TenTen came running towards Kai-La and sat on his right knee. Looking around at the spread her mouth started to drool. She reaches for Kai-La's donut before he pulled it away.
”Morning to you as well. Get your own donut. This is mine,” he said sticking his tongue out.
”But that's the closest one. You should share.” TenTen said pouting.
Breaking it in half he handed her half.
”Hehe, you are spoiling her you know that,” Pakura said with a slight laugh. Reaching over she grabbed a small plate and put two donuts on it for them both. ”There now. Don't eat too many. You have to share with the others.”
”Uh-huh, I will,” TenTen said before taking a small bite. Looking at the man across from her papa she was intrigued. ”Who are you? My name is TenTen. What's yours?”
”Eh, ah.” Karin said climbing up on Kai-La's left knee. She looked up and broke off a piece TenTen had.
At that time Ku-La came over with Naruto and sat down. For the most part, he still looked asleep. Naruto looked at the food on the table and stretched his hands out trying to reach them.
Anko went over and put a croissant in front of him and grabbed a chocolate one for herself. She sat at her seat at the table taking small bites. Ku-La had fallen back asleep.
Hisa waved at Pakura when she came down. Giving TenTen a pat on the head she went to the kitchen to start to cook.
”Hello. Call me Carn-La. Nice to meet your little one.” Giving a slight wave he went back to sipping his water he grabbed.
”Is my papa in trouble?” TenTen asked.
”No, why do you ask that?” Carn-La was surprised at her question.
”Because he looks tired. You are wearing clothing like he wears sometimes when something important is happening.” TenTen said sipping the juice Oreo placed in front of her. ”Also his chakra is low.”
At the last statement, everyone in the room was surprised except Kai-La, Gemini in the shadows, and Karin. Last being the one who taught her how to sense chakra levels a little.
After a slight pause, Carn-La continued.
”Your papa is in no trouble. Trust me, if he was I would be the first to warn him if I could. But it is good you ask that.” Carn-La's tone became a little serious. ”As a future ninja, if your papa was in trouble would you help him?”
”Of course, I would,” TenTen said smiling.
”I would too!” Karin said.
”Yeah me too,” Naruto said. ”Why wouldn't we?” At the last question, he started l.i.c.k.i.n.g the butter on his fingers.
”That is good to hear,” Carn-La said with a smirk in his tone.
For the next 30 minutes, the group all talked for a bit. Kai-La noticed as they all talked some of the habits of Carn-La reminded him of someone. He just couldn't pinpoint who.
”Well,” Carn-La said standing up,” I have to go now. Be safe all of you.”
After goodbyes from everyones. A portal opened behind him and he walked through.
Oreo stared wide-eyed Looking around the room she noticed Kai-La and Pakura were the only ones not surprised. The kids just mostly oh'ed and ah'ed.
”Now that he is gone. What is on the agenda for today?” Oreo asked.
”Nothing. Relaxation. I was thinking about traveling to the ocean or a beach. What do you all think?” Kai-La said to everyone?
