Kasumi was sitting on her bed with her legs crossed she had remoat in her hand. She is flipping the TV till she stops at the news she stops as she reads "Fur Sea Lions being used a fur." she stops and turns it up, the person on TV "No one can track the killers on the sea lions but they are being skinned and sold a fur on the black market. Most of the pups are being took becues the fur is very soft and is worth more." Kasumi drops the remote as her eyes go wide. She could not take in what she is hearing someome is killing them for fur? She narrows her eyes, as she gets on her jacket, hat and gloves. Kasumi takes out her snow boots she puts a pair of socks in them as she ties them and puts them on her shoulder.

Kasumi walks to her window as she opens it soon she rests her bear hand and foot on the side of the building. It is cold but this is not going to stop her. Once she is stuck down she gets her other half out. She closes her window as she truns and walks down it like a tree frog. Soon Kasumi is on the ground as she slips her boots back on. She is going to save the baby's if it is the last thing that she will do. Sea lions should not be killed for there fur well anything as matter as fact. Kasumi thinks that it is suck. She sits down in the snow as she puts her socks and boots on. Soon she slips her gloves on as she pulls the hood up to her jacket over her hat.

Kasumi would never do this but she thinks that this is for something that is very good. Yet she wonders were she is going to start she just got the addy were they were last at. She is sure that she can find something. Kasum shakes her head as she walks over the lawn of the mansion. She hears the snow under her feet it seems that no one is around so she can make a clean brake maybe come back in enough time to go to bed. But with her father being a Zoo vet she knows how smart Sea lions are and what they must think before they are killed.

Kasumi shakes her head as anger seems to over take her. Soon her walk turns into a run she could not wast any time the trail might get cold when she gets there. Just for the sack of her not getting sick she has her boots on if it was any other time she would of went bear footed and climbed on something and leaped form foor top to roof top. She knows that she can move faster that way. She soon hears her own hear pounding form her running yet she does not stop.

Koga had just gotten in from a long shower and before that a night of sneaking out and fighting petty crime. He hadn’t hit anything as bad as an armed robbery, more along the lines of street crime. Muggings, rape, drug dealing. Crappy people, doing worse things, It was sickening how little respect for their fellow man some people had.. He stood there drinking from a large thermos, downing quite a bit of chicken noodle soup. He poured another batch into it and then stood by the window. That was about the time he saw a female scaling the wall in his own favorite brand of sneaking out. No shoes either! Misery loves company and if there was anything worse then being barefoot in new york he didn’t know what it was. He was tired but he was curious more than ever. Did she also share his psychotic and dangerous love of fighting crime? He threw on his coat and tossed threw his boots over his shoulder. His window opened an then closed with him on the other side. His back pack loaded with his thermos and a few military m.r.e.’s. Mre’s were military rations, but that wasn’t the important part of way he had them. Mre’s we heated ration’s you poor a bottle of water around them and then you dropped a tablet in them within minutes the water wasn’t just warm but scalding hot. Just what he needed for his middle of the night freezing outings.

He pulled a zip tie on his laces and then he was running across the mansion grounds and trying to close the distance with the female. When he got away from the house he would yell a bit and try to get her to slow down, but for now he wouldn’t get them both in trouble.

Kasumi is at last out of the grounds. She looks over the sky as she smiles to herself. Kasumi thought that it was rather easy but her powers did help her. Next time she will just jump She nods to herself at that thought. Kasumi soon hears someone comeing closer to her. She bites her lip as she truns around yet she is looking at a young man. She blinks a few times as she smiles "Hello I am Kasumi. You are?" her voice is sweet and kind. She walks back twrods him. Soon Kasumi holds her golved hand out. Here for a week and she is creeping out. But she had to save the sea lions she thinks that it is bad in what is happing to them.

She is so small she does not look 18 around 16 at the most. Yet she does not mind looking so younge it gets her out of more tuble then you would know. All she had to do was cry and the person would give in to her. Kasumi does not stop smileing as the bright green ablueh spots are seen on her nose and cheeks. Some of her bright red hair is seen form under the hat that she has on. She knows that he is form here also if not oh well she might have to fight. Kasumi will be her sweet self like she always is. It seems that she does not have a mean bone in her body.

"My name issss Ryuichi Koga, I hope I didn't take you off guard. I noticed you leaving and well, I wasss cuiousss why."

At the moment Koga was keeping a close to flesh tone color but it took effort enough effort that he stopped bothering. His skin, mainly his face and finger tips reverted to the colors behind them.

"To be honessst I can't sssleep and wouldn't oppossse running around tonight." He was in reality exhausted but it was true he couldn't sleep. he would freeze to death if he went to sleep out here. or at least util the wheather changed. regadless he was ready to talk this young woman into either not running away or throwing his minimalweght into her cause.

Kasumi shakes her head as she smiles "You did not." she looks at him with her bright green eyes as she peeks "I am going to save a brown fur sea lion pup form getting skinned alive. I saw it on the news. My father is a zoo vet. They are so sweet and smart. I can not stand for this so I am going to see if there are any alive."

She keeps her eyes on Koga as she nods softly "Alright it will be good not to go alone a guess. I did not think it all the way though."Kasumi soon laughs some as she shakes her head "That is what drives people nuts when I go something in my mind I will for it with out really thinking about it. I just go for it." She nods softly as she smiles. Kasumi is such a sweet girl she does not like to see anything in pain. She will do anything to stop something form being hurt that is the way that she is.

"Ok, lets do this!" He wasn't quite so sure about saving seal pups, yeahit wasn't good that they were being pouched but was it worth butting heads with pouchers? he didn't want to get get pouched...but he had a feeling Kasumi would go with or with out him, so it wasn't about the whale pups but more about backig up a potential freind, and neighbor. "Where are they being pouched? I think more than likely we will need to catch a ride... there is a fed ex delivery around here sssomewhere and they passss here to get to the city...they drive by all the time."

He coudn't help but notice the simularities in them, she could walk on walls and so could he they were both japanese descent, both brought up american, if her not having a major accent accounted for anything.

"Sssspeak of the devil." he looked down the streetand a delievery truck was heading their way.

Kasumi looks at him as she nods "I have the address on my phone. The joy of haveing a touch phone." She smiles softly as she nods "So we are stowing away? Never done that before." Yet Kasumi is willing to try new things. She looks over as she sees the truck as it stops.

KAsumi nods to Koga she moves all slow then she leaps much like a frog would all long. She is soon on top of the truck as she looks around with her eyes. Kasumi smiles more this is going to be fun not only she is doing something new but she will save something and make a new friend all in one night.

Kasumi hopes that she can find at the least one alive. Even if she can save one. She thinks that saveing one life will be better then saving none. She has texed her father also about the baby that will be weak when it gets to her she is sure that he will be over night alot of things for her to give the baby a fighting chance. She knows that she can do this

"I have the address on my phone. The joy of haveing a touch phone." She smiles softly as she nods "So we are stowing away? Never done that before."

“Cool, get a map from where we are to there and we ssshould be able to make thisss a lot easssier. Yeah, jussst hang on to the top like you did the mansssion wallsss and we ssshould be fine.”

He was definitely impressed with that graceful leap that was something he could not do. He ran to the back of the truck and hoped and scurried up the side and used handles as foot holds. He lugged his bag on top and made it to a comfortable crouching position just as the truck began to move.

“ ssso what do you know about these poachers, other then that they are demented?”

Koga still studied her features, she was both the first other japanese mutan he had seen and the first animalish mutant, other than himself. Evil tiger shifters aside of course.

Kasumi nods as she smiles. Soon she lets her hands stick she has no need to take her boots off again. She watchs Koga as he scurried up she tits her head as she smiles "What powers do you have? Me I am tree frog and poison" Kasumi smiles as she sits much like a frog would form time to time she finds it easy to sit like this.

Soon with both of them on top the truck starts as she holds on like he told her to. Kasumi closes her eyes as she smiles "It seems I can stick to anything." She has not found anything that she can not stick to. That made her happy she did not like to fall off. Even with her powers falls did hurt her.

Kasumi feels the cold wind on her cheeks she smiles more. God she loves the car she has her GPS to her phone on so it will tell them were they are close to the place they need to go. She knows that one of the babes are alive iut is just a feeling that she had something that she can not shake.

"What powers do you have? Me I am tree frog and poison” “It seems I can stick to anything."

The swapping of mutant powers was classic in the mansion, it was almost more important of an introduction then ones name. hi, I catch fire. Hi I can turn into a giant donkey…oh yeah my name is…you get the drift. Its funny but it is kind of like getting something off your chest. With some many people readily afford or hating you for these things it is only natural to spit them out when you can actually be proud of your innate abilities.

“well I ssseem to have a reptilian thing going on…I Climb on wallsss and ceilingsss much like a gecko, I think we have to do the sssame boot trick to get full ussse out of it. I am working on my upper body ssstrength ssso I can manage more with my armsss. I can conssstrict, I produce a lot more ssstrength with my armsss and legsss and even curling in with my body then I can if I am not trying to knock sssomething or sssomeone out. I also if you hadn’t notice change colorsss to blend like a chameleon, though I havn’t really been able to control it quite asss much as I like. I have gotten better at holding on to pale colorsss. Ssso It helpsss if I wear a flesssh toned ssshirt or khakisss.”

Perhaps his shyness was warded away because of the girl’s similarities or the odd circumstances, but regardless he was being more outgoing then usual until of course he realized he was being more outgoing than usual.

(I'm calling this closed pm me, if you wan to pick it up sometime.)
