Ruka and Kain Akatsuki looked at the abandoned Ackerman estate before them and took in it's obvious decay.

Lifting the paper in her hands, Ruka spoke first. "Why would Senri want to meet with us at this place?"

Akatsuki just shrugged as they approached closer.

It did seem strange when they received a request from him to meet up at the old estate. They hardly stepped foot in there as it was. Something about it seemed fishy.

Approaching the gates, the two of them stepped onto the entryway before opening the large door that was unlocked.

A loud creak could be heard throughout the empty halls when they suddenly heard a noise to the left of them.

The two looked at each other before getting into attack mode and turned the corner when they were surprised on who was on the other side. "Whoa, slow down you two."

Rima blinked a few times in boredom at put her hand up to show she wasn't attacking.

Ruka turned her head in confusion and spoke. "Rima? What are you doing here?"

The orange haired girl reached into her back pocket and pulled out a piece of paper. "Shouldn't I be asking you the same question? You are the one that called me over and everything."

Akatsuki looked at the paper and gasped before showing her thiers. "Wait. Senri was the one who sent this letter, not Ruka. Why are our names different?"

Rima shrugged when another voice entered the room. "Hey you guys."

They all turned around to find Senri yawning a couple yards away. "Why did you call me out so early in the morning Akatsuki? Is everything alright?"

Blinking a couple times in confusion, Ruka stomped up to him. "What are you talking about Senri? You told US to come here."

Shaking his head, Senri answered. "No I didn't. Akatsuki told me to come here."

Ruka turned to the man in question who also shook his head. "No I didn't."

They all told silent at this realization until Rima spoke first. "That means someone else sent these letters."

Ruka's eyes widened and quickly put the pieces together. Something was very wrong.. "They wanted us all in one place. It's gotta be a trap."

Suddenly, footsteps could be heard over on the balcony and everyone turned towards the sound. Akatsuki stepped in front of Ruka to protect her and cursed. "It might be the senate."

Ruka sighed loudly and shouted into the open space. "Oh for god's sakes! We don't know anything about Lady Adelaide, will you give it a rest already?! Haven't you interrogated us enough?"

The air grew still as they listened for more movement, but instead, they heard a voice. "Hey strangers."

Slowly, they all began to recognize the voice at quickly wiped their heads around to find Hanabusa grinned at them from the balcony. "Miss me?"

His friends dropped their jaws as Ruka's voice shook with uncertainty. "Hanabusa?"

The aristocrat made his way down the stairs and tried to explain himself. "I know it's been a long time but I…"

But he wasn't able to finish as his friends leaped forward, crushing him in a heavy embrace. It was so strong that they almost knocked him over.

Akatsuki was the first to let go but not before placing a hand on his shoulder. "I can't believe it. We thought we would never see you again."

Hanabusa nodded his head sadly thinking that he really did miss his friends. Rose was important to him but he couldn't deny the joy he felt next to them. He missed that.

Ruka smiled at him but then soon realized something. "Wait. If you're here, then that means…."

The aristocrat nodded his head and almost on cue, a new voice entered the space. "Glad to see you are all in one piece. Sorry about the letters."

They are turned around to find Rose, leaning against one of the railings to the left. She looked almost the same as the day they fled from the senate but there was one thing different about her. She had this aura of happiness to her they have never seen before in her pureblood life.

Zero stood next to her as she moved forward, her dress moving with the breeze. "Hey guys."

Kain was the first to speak to the pureblood. "Rose? Why are you here? Isn't it dangerous? The senate is still looking for you."

She smiled and crossed her arms around herself, avoiding the topic. "We can talk about that in a minute. How have all of you been?"

Ruka rolled her eyes and moved closer to her friend. "Still can't give people a straight answer, can you?"

Rose just smirked and fired back. "Still can't let me get away with anything, can you?"

They both smiled at that and the pureblood replied. "I missed you Ruka."

Ruka just shrugged her shoulder. "Yeah, I guess I did to. But don't go telling people that."

She laughed at this and elbowed Zero to say something. He complied by just nodding his head. "Ruka, Akatsuki, Rima, Senri. Glad to see you again."

Senri raised his eyebrow at this. "Did the hunter finally get some manners?"

Zero glared back only to have Rose slap his chest playfully. "Hey now, let's not start this. As much as I would love to bring back the nostalgia of us all fighting each other now is not really the time."

The hunter sighed and understood. "Rose is right. We need to talk to you about something."

The air grew thick as Ruka stepped forward first. "What is it about? I knew there had to be some reason you three came back."

Rose looked down at the floor and nervously played with the sleeves on her dress. "We need to find someone. Someone that was taken, possibly by the senate."

Kain turned his head in confusion. "Who is it?"

The pureblood didn't speak to his question, only took in a nervous breath. Hanabusa could feel her fear and tried to reassure her. "It's alright Rose. You can tell them."

Zero placed a loving hand on her lower back which gave her the courage to speak up. "It's our daughter. Allura Kiryu."

Everyone around them gasped, not knowing that they had children together. They supposed it did make sense though, they were married. "Your daughter?"

Rose nodded her head once and continued. "Yes. We think the senate took her because she's, she's a…"

Another pause entered and Rose bit her lip in anxiety. It was hard to get through this without thinking about where she could be.

Senri answered back. "She's a what?"

Rose took another breath and spoke. "She's a pureblood, like me. I don't know how or why but she is. That's why we have to find her."

Hanabusa's friends were stunned into silence at this news. They didn't know another pureblood daughter was born into this world. Purebloods were seen as even more rare nowadays and the appearance of one could really stir up trouble. "But that's impossible."

Smiling bitterly, she answered. "I know it is. All of our other children are aristocrats but Allura, she's different somehow."

Rima thought about this and thought about a reason this could be possible, ignoring if it was polite or not. "Are you sure she's the hunters kid? I mean she could be…"

But Rose cut her off, knowing what she was going to say, all while watching Zero make an irritated face . "No. I'm sure of it. Kaname and I never…"

Ruka was silently happy to hear this but brushed it off as they had more important matters to discuss. "Anyways, what do you want us to do about it?"

She moved a step further and bowed her head in offering. "Please, I need your strengths again. I can't find her on my own with eyes everywhere. I know it's dangerous and I'm asking you to go against the senate but please, help me find her."

They all looked between each other and at the bowing pureblood in question. She looked so desperate for their help. Even Hanabusa was looking at them with some sort of puppy dog expression. They really needed them.

Ruka put her hands around her hand and sighed. "I guess I can poke around the streets and see what I can pick up."

Kain then stepped forward. "And I can stick my nose in the senate to see if they know anything."

And finally Rima and Senri. "And we can check around certain locations while we are at our upcoming photoshoots. See if any paparazzi have seen anything."

Rose lifted her head at their words and tears build up in her eyes. They really were there for her, even after all these years. "Thank you. Thank you everyone."

Hanabusa smiled at this, knowing that she had really changed since their time at school. Usually she would have tried to shoulder all of these herself but now, she was able to ask for help from those who cared about her.

Suddenly, they heard a loud noise coming from the entrance and everyone froze. "Did you bring anyone else with you?"

Rose shook her head and they all reached for their weapons, ready to attack the presence that was approaching.

The figure moved and Rose leaped forward, her vines grabbing their leg and pulling them down to the floor so they were stuck.

He groaned and Hanabusa raced towards in intent, attack at the ready. "Who are you!? Why did you follow us?!"

The voice came out in a squeak, like he was scared to death. "Wait! Please don't hurt me!"

Rose froze and placed a hand on Hanabusa chest. Something was off about this. "Wait Hanabusa."

He complied and she brought the vines closer to them so they could see the strangers face.

When the sunlight reached his eyes Rose and Zero couldn't help but gasp at the sight. "Ren?! What are you doing here?"

Ren just tried to wiggle out of her grasp and attempted to play it cool. "Hey Mom,Dad, Uncle Aido, fancy seeing you here..."

They just frowned at his attempt and Zero stepped forward in frustration. "Ren, did you follow us?"

The boy just smiled playfully and shrugged. "Guilty?"

Rose put her head in her hands and just sighed loudly, letting her vines disappear. " I can't believe this.."

The rest of the group looked her confused at his conversation and soon enough, Kain stepped forward. "Umm Rose, who is he?"

She lifted her head and pointed to the boy before answering, exasperated. "He's Ren Ichiru Kiryu, our son."

Kai Kuran watched Allura as they approached the gates to Cross Academy.

He couldn't help but let his eyes fall onto her downcasted ones. She looked so deep in thought for some reason, but he wasn't sure what it was.

Noticing her anxious tapping hand, he concluded that whatever it was, she was really nervous about coming here.

They rounded the corner and the car stopped in the light snow. "We are here Allura."

She turned to the window and couldn't help but turn her lips into a soft smile. This was it. This was the place her parents met.

Kai hurried out to open the door for her but of course Allura wouldn't let him, instead she opened her own door before he could reach it.

Looking up at the tall pillars, a warm feeling echoed in her stomach, like this was were she was meant to be.

He watched her curiously and pointed. "Headmaster Cross is just through here."

Following him, they entered a smaller looking house before turning the corner into some sort of office room.

Kai knocked on the door before them and opened it slightly, Allura still blocked from view. "Hello?"

The older man on the other side wasn't listening though, as it seemed he was on the phone. "Yes, yes I know. I'm sorry but I don't have any information for you. I'll keep my eye out for your description but I seriously doubt the ones that broke into the association would come here."

They both froze at that, but didn't have time to register it as Cross hung up the phone and smiled. "Kai, to what do I owe the pleasure?"

Kai just answered back. "Hello grandfather."

This caused Cross to leap with joy into his arms, suffocating him in a tight hug. "Aww my little grandchild is so cute! I missed you Kai, why don't you come visit me?"

The pureblood grumbled and tried to pull away from the hug, feeling slightly embarrassed that Allura was watching. "Grandfather please, I am not a child anymore.

Cross just laughed and waved him off. "Maybe to you, but to me you will always be my little Kai Kai. Just say the word and I can cook up some of your favorite dinosaur chicken nuggets like old times!"

Kai groaned and shook his head in rejection. "Come on grandfather. Not now. I have someone that wants to talk to you."

The headmaster turned his head in confusion when Allura stepped from behind the door. She didn't really know how to start out this conversation but hoped it would figure itself out. "You're Kain Cross?"

Cross returned back into his serious mode and returned back to his desk. "Yes, how may I help you Miss?"

Allura looked around the room at the office and found various pictures of her Dad and some other girl next to his desk. "I..um…"

Waiting for her to answer, Cross froze when he saw what she was carrying on her back. "Wait, that sword…"

She gasped and put her hand on it for protection, thinking he was going to take it away.

Watching him step closer to her, her spoke with uncertainty. "What is your name?"

Looking into his eyes, she answered. "It's Allura."

Cross stood silent, with an unreadable expression on his face. Then he turned to Kai and spoke. "Kai, could we please have a moment alone? I need to talk to Allura."

The pureblood narrowed his eyes at his grandfather words but complied. "Of course. I'll be outside."

Then, Kai left without another word, closing the door behind him.

When he was gone, Allura question the man. "Cross?"

The headmaster looked up at she could see a thin rim of tears across his eyes. "I thought I would never see you again Allura. It's like a miracle."

Allura put her hand up in question and took a step back at the crying man. "Whoa whoa whoa hold on. Who are you and how do you know about my sword?"

Cross just smiled and pointed to the weapon. "That sword you have, used to belong to me. I gave it to Zero before he went into hiding. And if you have it that means your, Allura Kiryu,right?"

Hearing her last name pour from his lips was certainly a shock. No one really said their last names in fear of people listening in.

Allura didn't even have to say anything because her expression gave it all away.

Racing forward, Cross pulled her into a tight embrace, letting his tears fall. "I knew it. You've grown up so much. The last time I saw you, you were just a baby. Oh my beautiful grandchild."

Allura awkwardly let him hug her when a word stuck in her mind. "Wait, you said grandchild. Does that mean your my..my...grandfather?"

Pulling away, the hunter smiled and nodded his head once, confirming it was true. She gasped and tried to think about him in any sort of way, but she just couldn't remember. She supposed she was just a baby after all. "How come I don't remember you?"

His eyes turned sad and answered. "Because I was Zero's father, I'm under surveillance more than ever. They think that I will lead them to you. So when you were born, I made sure to slip away but after that, it's just been too dangerous to see you. I hope you understand."

Allura nodded her head, her fists curling in anger even more at the senate. They couldn't even let you spend time with her grandfather. What terrible people they truly were.

Then, she thought of something. "Wait, If I'm your grandchild, does that mean that Kai and I are...?"

But Cross cut off her wandering thoughts. "No. You two are not related. Yuki and Zero were my adopted children, no blood relation."

Allura let out a breath of relief at that. Wait, relief? Why was she anxious about them being siblings in the first place? She didn't really know the answer.

Cross smiled and pointed to the sword in question. "I see Zero passed down the sword to you."

Allura just laughed nervously and played with the ends of her hair. "Yeah, something like that. I kinda, you know, stole it?"

He blinked a few times before erupting in a slow laugh. "You really are their child aren't you? I'm glad to see it's going to a good home."

The air grew quiet when Cross changed the subject. "Not that I'm not thrilled you are here Allura but why are you here? You know it's dangerous for you to be around this area."

Thinking for a moment, she decided to tell him the truth, feeling that she could trust him. "I want to resurrect Kaname. My moms letters said it was possible."

Cross's eyes grew even more sad at this. "Allura…"

But she wasn't having it. "The letters said he could help, so I have to. I have to resurrect Kaname."

Suddenly the door flew open and Kai stomped up to her with a very angry expression. "What do you want with my father?"

Allura gasped and realized he had been eavesdropping, wondering how much he actually heard. "Were you stalking us? Wow, very professional mr pureblood."

But Kai was in no mood for jokes and grabbed Allura's arm roughly, causing her to wince in pain. "I'll ask again. What do you want with my father?"

She narrowed her eyes and spoke. "Your father? What are you talking about?"

The purebloods voice grew to one of impatience. "Kaname Kuran, my father."

Widening her eyes, Allura put two and two together. Her mother's letter never once mentioned Kaname's last name so how was she supposed to know that it was Kuran?

Kai looked less than understanding and remained his grip on her arm. "Did you set this all up to get close to him?"

Allura shook her head and shouted back. "You think I wanted to be kidnapped and sold off to you as a slave?."

Cross noticed the tension and spoke commanding. "Kai, that's enough."

He looked at his grandfather and complied, letting go of her arm. Cross then continued. "It's alright, you can trust her."

Kai's eyes widened at this as his grandfather changed the subject. "So, I don't know what your living arrangements are but you two are always welcome to stay here."

Allura nodded her head and Cross smiled. "Now, you go first Allura. Kai will be right there."

She gave him a look of confusion but listened, slowly closing the door behind her.

Kai turned to his grandfather in annoyance, that is, until he spoke. "Listen to me Kai. I know that you don't trust others easily but you don't have to worry about Allura. Trust me."

He pointed in the direction she's gone and question. "How can I when I know nothing about her? Grandfather, who is she?"

Cross just smiled and put a hand on his shoulder. "I can't give you those answers. The only one that can do that is Allura. Just know that she isn't your enemy."

Not really believing his words, Kai shook his head in frustration. "I'm going to find out about her."

The headmaster then pointed out the window and shrugged. "Well if you are going to do that, you better hurry before the night class comes out. She's already halfway there."

Kai's eyes widened as he ran out of the headmaster office as quick as possible while grumbling. "She has no concept of personal safety at all! That girl..I swear..."

Having a sort of deja vu feeling, he circled the office and remembered Zero running after Rose after she had done something reckless. It was funny to think that fate worked out like this.

When he was gone, Cross laughed to himself and picked up a picture of his daughter and son. "You see that Yuki? Kai is going to be just fine."

This was the reunion chapter! Next time we have Allura and Kai meeting the night class of this generation, Rose and friends plotting to her save and more fluff cause fluff is best. Man, I love writing this story. I hope you all are enjoying reading it :)
