Music and Family

author's note: This is only an excerpt from me EpicNobody and I's story, about the Shinichi Jewels. So I dedicate this to my very beautiful and talented sister, Posena :)

enjoy!!

(Kya's POV)

I walked around camp and breathed the strawberry-scented air. Of course, it always smelled like this in Camp Half-Blood.  Well, Future Camp Half-Blood, that is. I should explain. See, I came from the past, unlike my faternal twin, Posena, who came from the future. See, Posena and I were seperated at birth to prevent war against the gods. My parents are Athena and Poseidon, the wisdom goddess and the sea god. It's weird, I know, but they were in love. And no once can restrain love.  When I first met my sister, Posena, I was shocked to hear that I have three (or more) siblings in the future. There's Posena, then Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase. I really loved the idea that I have siblings and I never thought that I was from 713 years ago. When my parents explained, I immediately went to the future camp and found it very......different to what I was used to. If you were in my place, you wouln't understand what's the difference between an alarm clock to a digital clock. Honestly, when I saw those gizmos and gadgets, I almost had a heart attack. But Posena, my twin, guided me into understanding those things. When I would ask a certain question, she would answer them patiently. See, that's the best thing on having a sister like Posena; she's totally nice and sweet and very very smart, unlike me, though we have the same parentage. 

I should explain who I really am, by the way.

I'm Kya Elune, a fourteen year old sea goddess. I have long wavy dark hair and bright sea-green eyes which turn into ocean-blue when I get really happy or sad. Danzu says that it's one of my perfect features. 

Anyway, as I was walking around camp, I saw my sister, Posena, with Percy and Annabeth, my other siblings. They were talking near the lake. When they saw me walking towards them, Posena gave me a hug. Well, we try to reconnect, to start over and get to know each other better. And this happens frequently, and I love it. Posena always smell like vanilla and fresh roses, two of my favorite things.

"Hey, Kya," said Posena, pulling away. Her dark chocolate eyes shone with intelligence and her dark hair was pulled back in a pony tail. She looks more gorgeous than me, I should say. 

"Hey, Posena," I said, smiling. "What were you talking about?" 

Posena motioned to Percy. "Ask the guy in the ugly blue sweater," she giggled. 

I have to admit, I can't stop giggling when I saw Percy. I wasn't paying attention to his clothes, but egads. Posena was right. The knitted sweater he was wearing was electric blue with a huge green P on the middle. And it was the middle of the summer.

"HEY!"Percy protested. "Rachel gave me this sweater!"

"You mean you begged her to give it to you," Annabeth chidded.

Me and Posena bursted out laughing. See, Percy and Annabeth are dating, and a gods do not have DNA so, it's cool. 

It was kind of happy to see them like that around each other, reminding me that there's still hope. 

"So, um, Percy, can you at least tell me what's the deal with the sweater,er, I mean, what you're talking about earlier?" I said, trying not to burst out laughing at my brother's face.

Percy smiled at me very warmly. "We were talking about what Chiron told us about earlier; the special bonfire for later. He said it was very special that you should come with us."

I nodded, smiling like the day was larger than life. 

"Sure, why not?" I said. 

We started walking to the cabins, Posena and Annabeth still teasing Percy about that horrible blue sweater. Aphrodite might as well cursed him, haha.

Posena noticed that I was very silent.

"Kya, what's wrong?" she asked.

I heaved a sigh. "Nothing. It's just...I was thinking of what Hermes told me; like the 'you-shouldn't-even-be-here-because-you'll-just-cause-another-war' part. Like I wanted another war with the demons." I said.

"Don't listen to what Hermes said." said Percy. "Sure, he was right at somepoint but- OW!" he yelled when Annabeth elbowed him in the ribs. "What was that for?!" 

"You're really not helping!" Annabeth scolded.

I laughed again, this time with Posena joining me.

 "No, guys. It's okay." I said. "Maybe he is right. Maybe I shouldn't be here."

Posena frowned. "Don't talk like that, Kya. We all want you here."

"Yeah, except the gods." I said glumly. "Mom and dad are exceptions."

Posena managaed a small smile. She put a hand on my shoulder. "Some gods may not like it when you're here, but we like it when you are, because you're a part of the family. No matter what happens, you're still our sister."

I almost wanted to cry, but I steeled myself. "Thank you, Posena."

"You're welcome, Kya." Posena grinned.

The day passed so fast, I didn't notice that it was time for the camp fire. We went to the Amphitheater and sat on one of the stone benches. The other campers were already passing out some of the s'mores. I absolutely love s'mores. 

Chiron finally arrived just as the Apollo cabin started tuning their guitars and lyres.

"Welcome, Campers. Tonight's campfire is very special because," he smiled and looked at me meaningfully. Chiron, my favorite teacher. He taught me everything I had to know about myself and my world. "Tonight, we are all together here as a family. And we have another family member here with us. Kya Elune."

Everybody applauded. I felt tears sting my eyes. They finally accepted me. Me, the girl who might destroy the world and cause another war, but they didn't care about that. They only cared that I was with them. Finally, they loved me for who I am. 

The Apollo kids stared strumming and singing a song I could finally sing -along to with my whole heart.

There is a world where I can be in peace,

the only place where there is no miss

The place where they love me for who I am,

And accept me as much as they can.

There may be times where we always fight,

but we all overcome it together with all of our might.

My family, my home, my world, my love

And there, up above

My family never fails to rescue me,

Whenever I am in time of need.

I love you, I love you, I love you

My family.

I will protect, I will serve, I will stay loyal

To my family.

No matter what place I came from, 

no matter what time or era,

My family is still here with me...

The song ends with everybody applauding. The enchanted fire was richly gold. The tears I kept for so long finally fell from my eyes. A family I never knew was here with me. Like Posena said, No matter what happends, I'm still their sister. And I can agree, because they are my family. And I love them so much.

END...
