50 years has passed for the ones that escaped that dangerous night, however it never seems to end for a few of them at night as they sleep. Nightmares wasn't enough, they had to force themselves to move from place to place because even a slight hint of their reiatsu that escaped, they would have no choice to move to a new town, a new school, and a new life. No matter how comfortable their lives were back then, it wouldn't last long because eventually, they would have to move again. Now after moving to a new place in the middle of a city called Yokota, their lives now continued as it was the same from the life before.

It was a peaceful day like all days at calm quite high school like all other high schools. On the third floor of the building a 16 year old girl in a cyan and white sera fuku gazingout the window in class as the teacher blabbered about their subject that she just learned in her previous school. She's a junior in high school and this is her first day at this school. She was about 16 years old standing about 5'5 with a lanky body. She had a lavender whitish angeled style hair cut with soft lavender eyes. She was just admiring the sky. It was in the middle of autumn, she could feel the weather dropping down each day as it nears to winter. As soon the class ended and lunch began. She quickly grabbed her bento box and made her way for the door, she quickly but carefully made her way through the crowd of her classmates as they get ready to eat their lunches. She opens the door and made her way to the stairs. As she made her way up, the upperclassmen were already out in the hallways socializing or just couples against the walls flirting. As she looked at the couples, she couldn't help but feel disgusted, which made her quicken her pace. She quickly reached to her destination and opened the door and began looking for someone. It was a group of four people. There was three guys, both of them wearing cyan gakurans of the school. And one girl, wearing the same uniform as the girl. One of them waved at her, and she walked herself over to the small group, then she pulled a chair to the table and sat in the group.

"Sup Ronin."

"Hey Raikou."

Raikou was just a regular guy with a calm atmosphere around him. He had dark green eyes with short black messy hair (like Shinn from Gundam Seed Destiny).

Then, a very attractive girl walks up to one of the guys in the group, she walked up to the guy that waved at Ronin. The girl looked like one of those spoiled princesses that all they could think about were guys.

"Hey Rai~! I got your lunch here for you!" The girl said, handing Rai a pink bento box. Rai takes it and smiles at her, which sends goose bumps down her spine because his smile, is such a pretty smile for a pretty boy regardless of the scar on his left eye, which gives him a bad boy look. The boy of a girls dreams.

"Thank you very much. I'll call you again tonight." He said giving her a wink. The girl kind of gave a girly squeal which killed the atmosphere of the group for some of the guys.

Rai is a very healthy guy, also a gentlemen for the ladies. He had a light brown skin tone. He had black spiky hair with red eyes.

"Jesus Rai. You disgust me you know that. On the first day too!"

"Hey you shouldn't think like that. If you even show a little of your feminine side, I'm pretty sure guys would be all over you." Rai said reaching for his cell phone in his pocket.

"I wouldn't be like that because it's just plain disgusting when I think about it." Ronin said giving a disgusting face at him. Then she raises her hand, holding onto the antenna of a cell phone and dingles it at Rai. "And is this your cell phone?" Ronin said with a grin.

"Damn right that's mine! Give to me please." Rai said handing out his hand.

"Umm…no." Ronin said with a grin. She then slams it on the table, smashing it into little pieces.

"You're a cruel person you know that. Why don't you respect your seniors?" Rai said, picking up what's left of his cell phone.

"Do you mean senior citizens?" Ronin teased. "No offense. You other guys are cool."

As this drama was going on, Raikou and the other two were already starting to eat their lunch, and enjoying the little side show.

"None taken."

"Anyways, where's the other two?" Ronin asked.

After finishing his lunch and packing his mess away, Raikou wiped his mouth and gave Ronin an answer.

"Takeshi and Kunoichi left some time ago to get their lunch in the cafeteria and will not be joining us. Oh, and Takeshi said he'll leave for his kendo club early for an important practice and told us to get him before we leave."

"Anyway, how's your first day of class going along Ronin?" The girl asked. She's around 17 with big breats for her age. She has a well toned skin tone. She's also a blond. Her hair reaches down to her elbow with pink streaks. The pink streaks only starts at the back and becomes noticeable further down, and she has pink eyes, and also, she had ears like an elf.

"It's ok I guess. How about you Allen? At least contribute to this conversation."

Allen looks very skinny. He has silver hair with a purple streak with blue eyes.

"School's about to resume-" Then all of a sudden, the bell rang ending lunch. The classroom, then became chaotic. The whole students began scurring around, putting away their mess and trash, and trying to find their seats before the teacher came in.

"Gotta go! See you guys after school!" Ronin said waving at her friends, and some of them replied back with a smile or a wave back.

The last of three hours of school was full of lectures and homework that Ronin's too lazy to do. Then the bell rang finally ending school. Ronin went down to the first floor and waited for the others to come down.

Down in the kendo dojo that's right outside the school, next to the swimming pool. The sound of screams and battle cries could be heard along with the clash of shinai. There were students practicing kendo with their sparring partners. There was a teenage 17 year old boy standing around 5'8 with teal eyes and teal hair spiked back with a very muscular dark tanned body while wearing his kendo equipment. He had his shinai locked in with one of kendo members. He towered over his opponent with his cool teal eyes looking into his.

"We got less than a week for kendo club qualification rounds!" The captain of the club said.

"You're girlfriend is a freak." The jock teased. Even if he was little than his opponent, he would even go as far as pick on the new guy. He's one of those guys that thinks he owns the club, maybe even the whole school. "You're just a new guy. You don't even belong in this school." He said in a whisper.

As their shinai's were locked into each other, the teal haired guy pushed down the little guy with all his might until he fell to the floor. The big guy charged at his down opponent with his shinai over his head ready to strike down his opponent, but to the others, it was a gruesome scene. All of a sudden, the captain quickly got in the way and hit's the big guy's shinai out of the way before it landed.

"Takeshi Shimzau. That's enough." The leader said. He's a just regular teen helping out with the new guy, even going as far as helping him. As long he doesn't cause trouble.

"He was makin fun of Kunoichi." Takeshi stated.

"How?" The captain asked as he gazed at the bully. The bully tries to look away from his gaze, but he knows it won't help.

"He called her a freak." Takeshi said. The look on his face as he stared at the bully, it almost looked like he was going to eat him up. The whole club felt it too, even the club president. "NOBODY CALLS HER A FREAK!"

"Daisuke, I want you to say you're sorry." The president said as he gazed down at him.

Daisuke slowly got up to his feet and pats the little dirt of his clothing.

"Go on Daisuke. Say you're sorry."

"I'm sorry. There you happy oh fearless leader?" Daisuke said in front of his captains face.

"Yes, but unfortunately you have to leave. My club my rules. Now leave." The president said. Then Daisuke slowly made his way back to the locker room to change into his cloths so he could leave. The only reason Daisuke joined kendo was so he could make himself look bigger and tougher, but it only made him look like a jerk.

"Forgive Daisuke please Takeshi. Oh I haven't introduce myself yet haven't I? Hahaha. It's Kenshin Uesugi. So you're the new guy from whatever school you transferred from. And what's your friends name? Can she talk?"

Kenshi was refering to the girl that walked in with Takeshi. He presumed that both of them were going to join the club, but Takeshi said she was just here to support him, which Kenshi didn't mind, though it would be great to have more members to the club.

"Just call her Kunoichi."

"As you wish."

As Daisuke was walking out the door, Ronin and the others walked into the dojo.

"Takeshi it's time to leave!" Ronin yelled with her hands at her mouth. Ronin's sudden outburst certainly gave Takeshi's attention, even the other members. The last scene was so intense, that Ronin's scream made the members jump.

"Ok ok ok, just wait a few minutes will you! Sorry about them Kenshin. I told my friends that I'll be at the dojo and told them to pick me up when it's time for me to leave."

"So it is. Anyways, I'll let that little trouble slide, and if Daisuke picks on you again, let me know. I'll deal with him. Also I'd like to continue this tomorrow if you aren't busy."

"Yeah, I will."

Takeshi quickly walked to the locker room and changes into his cloths. Takeshi then walks up to Kunoichi and places her on his shoulder. Kunoichi is a 17 year old petite girl standing 4'11. She has short brown spiky hair with golden cat eyes which would make her look like a freak, but not to Takeshi and the rest of the family. Takeshi with Kunoichi standing on his shoulders, he left with the others following right behind him.

"It's about time Takeshi." Ronin teased.

"How was your day Takeshi-san?" Asta asked.

"I'm not in the mood Ronin. I'm sorry Asta, but not now."

"Hey! You answer questions when they're asked to you!" Allen roared, grabbing by Takeshi by the shoulders and turning him around so they could face each other.

"I was picked on." The quite girl Kunoichi finally said.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Allen apologized.

"S a'lright." Takeshi said in a calm voice, ignoring Allens threat every happened.

Then they finally left the high school ground and made their way towards home, but first they have to pick up another family member, then they all plan on making a few stops before going home. They arrived at their cities middle school and waited for a few minutes for their little family member until finally the bell rang. They quietly waited in front of the school until finally a little quite girl approached them in a cyan Japanese middle school uniform. It was 12 year old little girl standing at 4'9. She looks very thin and she was flat chested. She had long brown hair with black streaks with golden eyes. She practically almost looks like Kunoichi.

"I'm here." She said with a peep, which made a few of the high scholars jump in fright, making them feel their heart skip a beat.

"Whoa you scared us Dani."

"I'm sorry." Without any emotions on her face.

"How was your school Dani? Do you like it?" Asta asked.

Dani was very quite in her response as usual, but the others don't mind. She really doesn't have many friends, especially when they move every time, but the others make her feel important when she around them, and they hope that she finds at least a friend in her new school.

"It was fun. Our class has a pet hamster. He's very cute." Even if she doesn't put many emotions into her words, most of the group smiled at her, knowing that this will be a good school for her. That's if they don't move.

"That's good to hear." Asta said with a smile then patted her on the head.

"Can we now check out the city's shopping district now?" Takeshi complained. Though he shouldn't be so hasty which gave him a small, but painful pinch which made him bleed by Ronin.

"Yeah we'll leave now." Asta said.

"Let's check out what this new city has in stores for us." Rai said, sending a text to a girl to meet him at the shopping district.

"Though it won't last long considering Arata will move-" Because of his dangerous honest habits, he gets a punch instead by Ronin.

Then they made their way to the shopping district which is lively with students from other schools and couples. There was girl waiting by a stoplight, it was the girl from lunch that gave Rai his lunch. Rai told the others that he'll be home late and they don't need to wait for him for dinner. Everybody began exploring this new city, going in and out of stores, trying on clothes and doing the same in the next dew stores down next to it. They then went into a music store were they blasted their own kind of music too their liking, eventually getting themselves kicked out of the store. They then visited the arcade for a while where they had a laser tag room. The room was so dark, that a someone could easily get lost in their for days. They had a girls vs. boys tournament. The girls were the red team, and boys were the blue team. The match wasn't long because the boys easily overpowered the girls only to be assassinated one by one by Ronin. They then just wandered around the arcade playing video games. Ronin and Raikou played Tekken 5 against each other. Ronin was Asuka Kazama and Raikou playing as Bryan Fury, eventually the game ended in a tie. Asta, Allen, and Dani played DDR and surprisingly, Dani could actually play the game, a new trait for her. Kenoichi and Takeshi were playing time crises until it was time for them to leave. As soon they left the shopping district behind them, they headed for home.

It was already 6:00 and their time for dinner begins in one hour. To make themselves in time for dinner, they would need to toke the subway that leads out the skirts of town away from civilization, which would take them 15 minutes in the train until they made their stop. Then in the next five minutes, they walked in the dark until finally got home. It was a huge western mansion showing their wealth. The mansion was on top of a lonely green hill with green trees surrounding it. They opened the door and took a step on the nice red carpet like a celebrity, and their to welcome them was an aisle of butlers and maids all the way to the stairs. The red carpet was on marble tiles with a stair way on the other side of the carpet leading up and into two separate paths. There was two giant door on the walls on the left and the right. One leading into the living room which leads into the backyard, and one that leads into the dining room. Everything else was upstairs from restrooms to a masters bed room, literally. Rooms that are meant for a master.

"Welcome home young masters!" They all said in unison as they bowed to show their respect to their masters.

As they walked up the aisle, everybody handed their bags to the maids and butlers as they headed to the stair in front of them. They walked up and the boys separated from the girls. The goys took the stair ways that went left and girls into the right.

"Now if you please wash up, dinner will be prepared soon." All the servants said in unison.

The boys and the girls then went into their own rooms and began taking a bath and began changing into their inside clothing. Once they finished getting dressed, they headed straight to the dining table where there was a long table with 6 seats on each side and one chair at the far end. The teenagers quickly grabbed the seat closest to them and sat.

"Please wait a little longer please young masters. Arata-sama and the others will be coming down shortly." The servants stated.

Then the doors that led to the dining room, opened up by two butlers, each pulling a door and in came in 5 people. They all approached their seats and sat down. The one on them was a 21 year old girl standing around 5'3. She had a light build with a white ponytail and black eyes. She wore a black assassin gear with a tabi and a sword strapped across her back.

"HEY GUYS! How was your first day of school?" The assasin asked. Even if she looks like someone that could kill in the blink of an eye, if she wants too. But, she's really a fun loving person.

When everybody answered, most of them were either quite or just mumbling their answers because they really didn't eat anything since lunch.

"How was your day again guys?" Karin asked putting a hand on her ear.

Everybody quickly mustered enough strength and shouted their answer until Karin nobs her head and smiles.

"How was your day Karasu? Did you build anything new today?" Asta asked

"Evening Asta. It's going good, nearing the completion on my latest project. And also, my equipment from our hold house just came in today, so I should be finish with it by the weeks end."

Then a 26 year old man sat next to Karin. standing around 5'10 with a medium build with a light skin tone with purple semi spikes wearing rectangular glasses over his crimson eyes, a white trench coat with a lanky glove on his left hand, and a black suite with no tie.

Sitting across from him is a man in his mid 20's. He stood around 5'8 with light skin toned with long dark red hair reaching down to his neck with crimson eyes. He simply wore a black suit with black pants, a white dress shirt with a black tie, and formal dress shoes.

"How was your first day at your new school Dani? Did you have fun?" The man asked with a smile.

Dani smiles back with her answer "Yes Hibiki. Our class has a pet hamster."

Sitting next to him was a girl around his age. She stood around 172 CM with a light skin tone, along with a huge bust. She had long silverfish hair with crimson highlights reaching her lower back. She wore a long black jacket with a red tank top, blue jeans, and knee high heel boots. A interesting trait to her than Asta's elf ears, and Kunoichi's cat eyes. This woman had chinky eyes and she's always smiling, like a sneaky fox. But unlike all other foxes, she's one that practically sleeps all day.

"Did you have any good naps today Akai-chan?" Raikou asked. Even if he's a quite guy, he likes listening to Akaki's dreams. When he asked, Akaki didn't answer. She was spacing out again until Raikou said his name. "Hey Akaki!"

Akaki turns her head at Raikou and gives him a sly smile with her index finger at her lips.

"It's a secret."

Raikou lets out a sigh and slouches in his chair. "Of course. It's defiantly something disgusting." And when he says disgusting, it probably involves sex with some hot guy.

"Would you like the details? Rai-kun?" Akaki said with a big fox like smile, revealing her eyes. She has heterochromia, making her left eye crimson and her right blood red.

"No!" When anyone sees her eyes, it's really something that you probably don't want to know, unless you're a really curious person.

Then a 28 year old standing 5'8 man sat at the chair at the far end of the table with a fire place sitting right behind him. He has a black ponytail with dark blue eyes with a light skin tone while wearing exactly what Hibiki's wearing, but he had a long scar on his left eye, a scratch by some animal.

"Well, shall we begin eating." Arata said with a smile.

All of a sudden, butlers and maids began coming out of the kitchen door caring in a bunch full of food, a plate with silver tops over it to keep them fresh and hot. One plate for each person. When the servants places the plate on the table, they open the top to reveal their dinner, everybody has the same exact food. Everybody had katsu curry, with potatoes, carrots, and tomatoes, all covered in nice fresh curry. Before they began digging in, the servants asked if the want a beverage for their meal. Once they said their orders, they left quickly into the kitchen to give get their drinks, and them came out in a second and quickly gave their masters their drinks, then they all began digging in. The rice was nice and moist, and the curry and it's ingredients gave it it's nice spicy taste. Some of them can't handle spicy food, so the spice wasn't that strong for them. Once they finished, they all headed upstairs towards their room, or simply hang out in each other's rooms and talk. It's was now 9:00 and most lights were already out. Some of the family are already asleep but a few of them are staying up late, until they just does off, letting sleep take them. Getting ready for the tomorrow.

Takeshi was in Kunoichi's room. There's a rule in this house that boyrs or girls can't be in each other's room, especially at this night. Which is why Rai said he was going to be home late. Takeshi and Kunoichi were sparring with each other in their own silky pajamas in Kunoichi's room, like they do all nights since back then, but they want to keep this a secret. With each wooden weapon swung, they be careful not to say even a little grunt, just so that they don't wake anyone. As Takeshi has his bokuto locked in with Kunoichi's bokuto, Kunoichi had something to tell him.

"You don't need to protect me." Kunoichi said as she puts pressure into her weapon.

With each passing moment, Takeshi puts even more pressure into his weapon.

"Which is why…I do it. Besides, I hate jocks." Takeshi said in a whisper, sending Kunoichi fly back almost crashing into the wall, but she was saved. Takeshi shunpo behind her and caught her with his arms.

"I could protect myself." Kunoichi said in a smile, a smile that she never revealed to the others, and hitting Takeshi with her bokuto on his forehead.

Takeshi places his hand on his forehead to stop the annoying pain and smiles. He slowly wraps his arms around Kunoichi's warm waist and rests his head on her shoulders. Kunoichi places her hands on Takeshi's hand and looks at him with her smile.

"I know." Takeshi said with a little grin.

Out deep in the woods that surrounded their home, Asta was out alone looking for someone until a hand covers her move and moves her behind a tree, and to her surprise, it was Allen.

"Allen!" Asta squeeked, wrapping her arms around and kissing him on the lips.

"You were late." He said with a little smile.

"Can you blame me?" She said with a cute smile.

Allen places his forehead on hers and kisses her nose. "No…"

On top of the mansion's rooftop, Ronin is seen alone sitting down gazing at the stars. Even if she's a stubborn, sneaky, little bitch, it's all just for show. She was crying, she was thinking about the person that really cared about her like a parent. Every night like this when the stars are shining brightly over head. She misses her warm arms that holds her when she cries and through all the pain she went through. She would especially need her comfort right now, after all the moving she did, moving from one school to another, moving to a different town. She felt scared. Since that night, she never got to say even a good bye to her. At night, she wonders if she's seeing the same sky as she is seeing right now. She even wonders if she thinking about her right now…
