Remus was outside the bar pacing like a caged tiger he wanted to get back inside and find out if the boy was really Harry. Remus suspected there was more to this story than he had been told by Albus but if he couldn't ask the boy how was he supposed to find out. He growled and banged on the door and was surprised when the door opened to reveal a red haired man.

The man took one look at him and said," Leave or burn your choice. I don't like people disturbing my first Vanguard." Remus was taken aback at the threat then even more when he heard what the boy's title was. First Vanguard seemed like a prestigious title and from what he knew about fighter it was given only to a king's protector. The best of the best. Remus pleaded with the man," Please I was one of his father's best friends. I came to pick him up less than two days after his aunt and uncle sent him away."

The man gave him a curious look but shook his head and said," You don't understand. That boy has nothing but terrible memories before five and a half years ago. The things that were done to him were terrible. Just leave him be his is a HOMRA and Scepter 4 brat now." Remus said pleadingly," I just want to get to know my best friend's son. He is a wizard he should be in his third year at Hogwarts not running around like a hooligan."

The man said his eyes flashing a fiery red," If you don't leave you will find out what it means to be clansman. We are HOMRA no one interferes with our people." Remus took step forward and said defiantly," Try me."

The man said nodding to a group that had encircled them," Burn him." The group began to stomp on the ground shouting," NO BLOOD! NO BONE! NO ASH!" Remus could see Harry standing at the front of the group next to the bartender both held a lighter in their hands. His attention was forced back on the red haired man as red swarmed around him.

Remus pulled his wand out casting a protective shield but the red surrounding the man went right through the shield as if it wasn't even there. It hit Remus in the chest sending him flying across street.

The alarms were going off in Scepter 4 offices Reisi sighed pulling up his holoscreens to see what the problem was. He was mildly surprised to see that the Red King Mikoto Souh had activated his inner sanctum but that wasn't the odd thing. He activated right outside HOMRA's headquarters which had never happened before.

He called his top members and said," We are heading into red clan territory. The Red King has activated his inner sanctum right outside his headquarters and this has never happened before I'm curious as to why." They saluted him and immediately went to the rovers with a squad of scent seekers just in case.

I felt slightly sorry for the strange man as he was getting pummeled by different member of my clan, but he was warned by Mikoto to leave. Izumo was helping me with my long range attacks using the man for target practice. I was usually right up front with Yata our second Vanguard but this was good practice for me. The man kept using some kind of stick to try and throw up a shield. This was ineffective, but why it was confused me I thought he was using something similar to a blue aura shield. That didn't seem to be the case when I asked Izumo he just shrugged he wasn't sure either.

My head jumped up when I heard tires screeching from a nearby street and I said once I identified the sound," Guys we got incoming. Blues are on the next street over." That got everyone's attention they formed lines preparing to battle it out with the clan. I stood to the left of Mikoto as his first Vanguard. The strange man looked up cautiously from where he had been hiding when the aura's stopped flying at him.

He noticed how stock still we stood and asked," What's going on?" I grinned and said," It's your lucky day Mr. Crazy. The blues are coming and we can't pass up a good fight with them now can we? After all why fight you when we can have a real fight."

Remus was starring a little stunned at the change in attitude of the group. He was even more stunned when a tall blond haired young man stepped out of the bar with a young child at his side. He smiled kindly walking over to him causing Remus to pull his wand free and point it at him. The man said holding his hands up," Easy there. Mr. Lupin correct? My name is Tatara Totsuka and this here is Anna Kushina. We are the nonviolent members of HOMRA let me see those aura burns your sporting. I can help."

Remus reluctantly and a little suspiciously let the strange man look at his burns as they were being treated huge swat like vans pulled into the street. Tatara looked at them and said," Oh looks like Scepter 4 has arrived. I wonder which side Wolf will side with today or if it will be a three way fight?"

Remus asked watching the men and women file out of the van," You said aura right? Can you explain that to me?" The younger man shook his head and said," That is a national secret. Unless you look up and tell me what you see." Remus glared at the man for a moment but looked up shocked at what he saw.

He asked trying to comprehend the red sword in the sky," What the hell is that? Why is there a sword in the sky?" That made Tatara grin and say," That's because one of the kings has activated his inner sanctum. Mikoto is the 3rd and red king. You have already met the fourth and blue king Reisi Munakata."

Remus paled and said," So I met two of the kings. Why are they called kings what makes them so different?" Tatara said," The kings were created when a man named Adolf K. Weisman succeeded in creating something known as the slates. Only the first, and second king have seen what the slates really look like. The second and Gold king was there when the slates were created he was part of the original project during World War 2. They are the only kings to have been around that long. Most kings only last a decade or so sometimes longer. The main thing you should know about kings is that only a king can kill a king."

Remus was about to ask another question when Reisi Munakata stepped out of one of the vehicles he gave a glare at Harry before addressing the red king. He said with a small smile," I see you are causing trouble again Souh. Try not to be so hard on a diplomat he doesn't know our ways nor does he understand about your clan's protectiveness of the boy. Wolf, calm."

The effects of the words were instantaneous on the child. Harry's shoulder immediately slumped and his eyes once full of fire now looked tired. The boy waved to the red king and said," See ya later Mikoto. Seems I need to head back before you two kill each other." He turned to Reisi and said bowing his head," With your leave Captain ill find my own way back."

The man's features softened considerably as he said," Be gone you demon." The little imp gave him a salute then took off down the streets. Mikoto said glaring at Remus," Take him out of here Munakata. I don't want to deal with stupid men that can't take a hint." Before Remus could protest Reisi was already pushing him into one of the rovers.

Remus will not have an easy time convincing our young Leuitant to return to England not mention dealing with two angry kings in the process.
