Me: Well I'm back~!

Chasers: yes!

Me: (: well then~ shall we get on with it~?

Arme: what about the disclaimer?

Me: in my opinion disclaimers are a waist of writing space, and pointless, because EVERYONE should know very well that I only own the story itself and the characters I make up so there.

Elesis: whatever you say.

Me: On with the story~ Enjoy!

The woman, as Rufus had said earlier, named Lyara, said the bounty hunter's name and the brunette just called her his mother. HIS MOTHER! The Chasers were now either gaping, raising eyebrows, or widening their eyes.

"Ru-Rufus...did you just say what I think you said?" The male silverette questioned, unable to believe that she was Rufus's mother.

"Yes, yes I did. Is there something strange about that?" he asked his younger brother.

"We-well..."

"Heck yeah! You just called that barbarian woman your MOM!" Elesis chimed in.

Lyara just shook her head and sighed, then she sensed someone coming up behind her and instinctively, elbowed his gut straight into the ground. Guess who the unfortunate moron was. "You again? First you ask me out and then you sneak up behind me? You utterly disgust me." she said then kicked his stomach digging him deeper into the crater. If you've read the previous chapter (which hopefully you have) then it should be very clear that the man who got an elbow to the gut and a kick in the stomach was indeed, the foolish and womanizing immortal. Sieghart was currently groaning in pain.

Rufus turned to the silver haired female. "Why did you say that you have three kids when you attacked Sieghart? I thought you only had two sons." he half asked half stated.

"Is it so wrong to suddenly give birth to a third child eight years ago?"

"Another child?" Lass was now interested in the fact about Lyara having a new kid. Unexpectedly, he and Rufus were suddenly tackle hugged out of the blue! "Wha?"

"Um, mother?" Rufus asked, surprised at the sudden hug tackle by his mother, or should I say, second mother.

The brother's hair was ruffled by a gentle hand. "I missed you boys so much." she said, her joy and happiness being clearly revealed in her words. She hugged the boys tighter. Big mistake.

"C-can't...breathe...air!" the two boys rasped out, losing air do to the tightness of the extremely strong female.

"Oops! Sorry~!" she released the brothers from her breath taking grip and let them gasp for air.

"Hey~ Can we meet you're third kid?" Amy asked politely. She too, was interested in seeing the third little child. "Hey, Lass, Rufus, don't you wanna meet you're new sibling too~?" the oracle asked.

"Yeah, I kinda wanna see too." the silver haired thief answered. Rufus also wanted to do such and he wasn't the only one who wanted to see Lyara's eight-year-old kid.

"Well then, come in~" the female barbarian beckoned them into their house. Surprise, surprise! The whole thing happened just a few feet away form her home. They followed the female silverette in.

The house inside was HUGE! And clean, very, very clean. "Wow." Lire said the first word. She was completely amazed at how clean the house was.

"So, where's that old man of mine?" Rufus asked his mother. His expression was calm, but the murderous look in his eyes and venomous sound of his voice showed exactly how he felt.

"Dumped and probably out on the road all by himself." the mother replied.

"What?" Rufus looked confused now.

"I dumped him and kicked him out of the house. He has done one to many things behind my back, especially dating another female and hurting my kids." the outrage in her tone was unmistakable. She definitely wanted to kill him as much as her son did.

"I see..." Lyara suddenly got up.

"Something wrong miss?" Edel asked.

"No, it's just that I should introduce you to my little girl now. I almost completely forgot" She stuck her tongue out and closed an eye. She felt pretty stupid now.

"Oh yeah!" Lime said out of the blue. Seems like she forgot too.

"Follow me. I think I know where she might be." Lyara stood up and led them to the door of a bedroom. She knocked on the door. No reply. She opened the unlocked door. What the Chasers saw in there, was a little girl, sleeping soundly in bed. "Looks like she's still asleep-" she was interrupted by a sudden yawn.

The girl's yawn. She sat up in bed, and rubbed the sleep from her sleep. A girl with long, straight, silvery blue hair, in a plain white dress with thin straps, and the bottom piece of the dress reaching just below her knees, looked towards them with sleepy eyes. Her outfit was perfect for this time of year, which was Spring. "Good morning~" she spoke sleepily in an adorable and young tone.

"Morning, Lyria. By the way we've got some guests." the mother spoke as she gestured towards the Chase.

Lyria quickly got up and bowed. "Sorry! I didn't mean to sleep in while you guys were here! My bad!" She apologized.

"It's alright, we don't mind." Lire spoke in a gentle in a reassuring tone.

It worked 'cause Lyria was now completely calm and stopped bowing. She looked up and examined the "guests", her eyes landing on Lass and Rufus last, and the eyes stayed there. "Um...mom? Are they?" Lyara nodded. Lyria's eyes sparkled. Suddenly, the brother's were softly and quickly hug tackled to the ground on their butts. The girl had hugged them softly. The brother's, surprisingly, went a bit red when they saw the happy looking girl smiling and embracing them in a soft hug. She looked up at them with her happy smile and sparkling eyes. "Welcome home, big brothers~!"

Me: and that was how the chapter ended~

Lyria: yay!

Lyara: If you're going to end this chapter like that make the next one more juicy okay?

Me: aye aye~!

Amy: that was so cute!

Lime: I know right?

Arme: never thought I'd see those two blush from the hug of one girl.

Lire: you have to admit she is cute~

Me: no shiz! Anyways..

Chasers, Lyara, Lyria, Me: Thanks for reading! Please R&R too!
