It had been about 10 years since Taniya had come back, then left again. Jaden and Bastion were back on the island for a week long reunion, along with their son and daughter.

Of course, their friends didn't know they were there. None of them knew that any of them were there. I guess you could say that, once they graduated, they sort of went their own ways.

Well, their children were now obviously 10, since Jaden had been pregnant with them when Taniya left. Their son's name was Zach Misawa, and their daughter's name was Tina Misawa. (A/N: If you're one of the people who's read my story 10 Fatal Days, you'll know who's who!)

"Wow! It's been so long since we've been here!" Jaden said as he got off the plane.

"Daddy Jaden, is this where you and Daddy Bastion went to school?" Tina asked as she got off the plane too.

"Yep."

"So, where are all your old friends?" Zach asked.

"We don't know." Jaden replied. "We don't even know if they're here."

-- A little later on, at a dinner party the school was hosting for everyone who showed up --

Jaden was over by the cake. He looked around to make sure no one was watching before taking a fork, and using it to take a bite out of the cake. He smiled and put the fork down.

"I saw that." Someone said behind him as he felt them tap his shoulder, and he turned around and saw Syrus.

They squealed and hugged each other, happily.

"I missed you!" Syrus said as they broke the hug.

"I missed you too, Sy! What have you been up to?"

"A lot of things. You?"

"Being with Bastion and looking after the troublesome-twosome." Jaden said, and Syrus laughed before hugging his old best friend again.

"By the way, how are they?" Syrus asked as they broke the hug again.

"Good." Jaden said.

"Daddy Jaden!" Zach called.

"As if on cue." Syrus said just as Zach walked up to him.

"Daddy... who's this?"

"Oh, this is one of my old friends, Syrus. Syrus, this is my son, Zach."

"Hi." Syrus said as he stuck out his hand for Zach to shake. "I'm Syrus. Nice to meet ya."

"I'm Zach!" Zach said with enthusiasm as he took Syrus' hand and shook it. "Nice to meet ya too!"

"As you can see he took after Bastion's end of the gene pool." Jaden said.

"Yes. I see. You look just like your Daddy Bastion." Syrus said with a smile.

"Thanks. A lot of people tell me that, but I don't really see that much of a resemblance." Zach said.

Syrus and Jaden just laughed.

The rest of the night was spent catching up with their old friends, and meeting all their friend's children.

-- The next day, somewhere deep in the woods --

"Careful, Will. You're gonna get hurt." Taniya said. (A/N: As we all know, tigers can't really talk (or at least any human language) so I'm translating here!)

"Don't worry, mom!" Will said to his mother as he continued to climb the rocks. "I'll be safe." He said.

Then, Taniya heard an all too familiar growl. "What's he doing here?" She asked. "Will, stay here! And if someone comes along that you don't know, run like the wind." She said as she walked into the bushes. Then, she saw what said person (or should I say animal) was growling at, a boy that couldn't be more than 10 years old. 'That kid... he looks just like Bastion... how is the possible?' She asked herself, and saw that the leopard was about to pounce on the boy, and most likely have him for breakfast. She growled, and ran for the boy before the leopard could get to him.

Zach screamed, and covered himself, thinking that Taniya was about to jump on him, and eat him, but quickly stopped when she stopped right in front of him and looked like she was protecting him; which she was.

"Huh? W-why are you protecting me?" Zach asked, and she looked at him.

The next thing they knew, the leopard jumped out at them and tried to get Zach, but Taniya cut his arm with her claws. He ran off, knowing when to retreat.

"Were you protecting me?" Zach asked. Taniya looked at him and nodded. "Are you gonna eat me now?" He asked, and she shook her head. "Oh good. I don't feel like getting eaten and- ah!" He screamed, which made her jump back. "Did you nod? H-have you been nodding?" He asked, and she nodded again. "You understand me?" She nodded again. "So, I'm not crazy! Wait a second, wait a second. I thought tigers were supposed to be man-eating creatures."

'Must he use that term?' Taniya asked with a mental sweatdrop.

"Momma?" She then heard a voice ask, and she looked to see Will. She went over to him, and licked his head. "Mom!" Will whined. "You're messing up my fur!" He said, and she smiled. "I'm clean, I'm clean."

-- Half an hour later --

"Well, I wanna thank you for protecting me against that leopard, if you hadn't, I would of been breakfast." Zach said. "But how do I thank you? Hm? You hungry?" He asked, and Taniya nodded. "Well, I have... bread, an apple, a banana, and... some slices of turkey. ...I bet you want the turkey, right?" Taniya nodded again. "Okay! Two slices of turkey comin' up!" He said, then brought out two slices. He handed the bigger one to Taniya and the smaller one to Will.

All of a sudden, they heard someone calling Zach.

"Zach! Zach, where are you?!"

'I know that voice anywhere.' Taniya thought.

"Daddy Bastion!" Zach yelled back.

'So, I was right.' She thought, and they all saw Bastion walk through the bushes.

"Zach!" He said, and Zach ran up to him to give him a hug. "Don't you ever do that to me again, young man! You scared me to death! I thought something bad happened to you!"

"Well, I would of been leopard chow if this tiger hadn't saved me."

"Tiger?" Bastion asked, and Zach pointed at Taniya. He looked at her, and was shocked. "T-Taniya...?" He whispered.

"Huh? You know her?" Zach asked.

"She... she was a human once."

"Huh? That's why she could understand me! I get it now!"

"Zach... why don't you go find Jaden? I need to talk to her."

"Go with him." Taniya told Will, and Will followed Zach. Taniya went up to Bastion, and nudged his leg.

Bastion kneeled down and hugged her. "I missed you." He whispered.

'I missed you too.' She thought. 'My love... my one and only true love.'

Wow! Uh... don't worry this is a Jaden x Bastion story, but there will also be a little Taniya x Bastion! Please don't kill me! I don't think this will ever be a full pairing for me! Meaning, that I will never write a story with this as the main pairing... well... you know what I mean!

REVIEW, BUT NO FLAMES!
