Wow this journey has just been amazing. When I first set out to do this story it was because I and everyone else had thought Samurai Jack wasn't coming back but now we all know that in 2016 he will! So now it is time to finish this story (just in time for the holiday's) which I've had a lot of fun writing and I thank anyone who read. Soon at less I hope soon more people should be inspired to write for Samurai Jack and this story will become a distant memory to some but I HOPE not you. P.S. this chapter will be long.

I still own nothing but the plot and my ocs

Revised 5/24/17

Kai pov

I don't know what I was expecting to happen when I pushed Jack through the time portal. Well ok I was at least expecting some big change but well….nothing happen nothing changed! That's right Aku was still here but now Jack was gone! I don't understand Jack returning home was supposed to fix everything so why has it not been fixed?

These were Kai's thoughts when she returned home after calming down enough to use her medallion she quickly ran inside the palace to their….well I guess it was back to just being her room. She spent her time going between being very confused to looking at pictures of their wedding watching the videos she had taken with her phone and crying so much crying she didn't even leave the room to tell anyone that she was home, which was why she was confused when she heard the knock on their…her door.

"GO AWAY!" Kai yelled trying to not sound like she was still crying although she was doing just that. Whoever knocked choose to ignore her and entered the room anyway.

"You look horrible." Shawn says as he and Misty enter the room to see their older sister lying on her bed crying on a wanted poster of Jack.

"Oh I am just so SORRY, but today not only did I just lost the one man I will ever love! I also have to now live with the fact that I was the one to cause it in the first place since I literally pushed him through a time portal not only that but the one good thing that was supposed to happen because of it didn't happen! So now I'm with no husband, my unborn child will never know his/her father and this world still has to deal with Aku!" Kai yells at her brother standing up and glaring at him.

"Not to mention that your eyes are now puffy and this weird shade of red." Shawn says plainly staring down at his sister who now looked like she was ready to murder him.

"Ok, Shawn that's enough between everything that happened today the last thing Kai needs is you stressing her out it's not good for the baby, and Jack would never forgive you if something happen to his child." Misty says getting in between her two older siblings before a fight could break out. "I know this is hard Kai but you are a queen now so you can't just stay in this room and feel sorry for yourself."

"Why not? There is nothing for me anymore." Kai says feeling hopeless.

"Kai, is right Misty I mean what is there left for her to do?" Shawn says much to his sister's surprise he rarely ever openly agrees with anything Kai says. "I mean so what if she is pregnant and her child is going to need her to be strong for both parents. So what if this kingdom counts on her to be a good ruler, to inspire them. No she should just stay in this room forever more and just feel sorry for herself becoming the exact opposite of the kind of person that Hiroto Jack married or who the people outside this kingdom looked up to."

"Shawn, look I get what you are trying to do but this is just so….." Kai begins to say but gets interrupted by her brother.

"Well, you know what other things you had to deal with were hard!" Shawn begins to say. "You had to spend most of your life training to not only fight against Aku but to rule this kingdom and you had to do those things at the same time and yet you still managed to make friends while doing it. You've had to lose your parents and one of your best friends around the same time and still stood strong in front of your kingdom. You had to pretty much raise an annoying pranking little sister and moody younger brother by yourself for four years!" Shawn finishes saying. "Look this might not be ideal but you've been through worse we all have and right now the most important thing you need to do is to get out there and find out why that demon is still even here."

"You're right Shawn." Kai says standing up and wiping the tears from her eyes. "And something tells me that the answers will be in those old books! I am going to the library now it's time that I finally get some real answers." Kai says walking out of the room no doubt to head towards the library.

"Wow, Shawn you did a good thing today." Misty says surprised and a little impressed by her brother.

"Just because we fight doesn't mean I don't care Misty. I have to give her a hard time otherwise how would she know that I'm grateful." Shawn explains to his younger sister.

"You could just say 'Kai I know I give you a hard time but I'm grateful' I'm pretty sure that would work too." Misty says rolling her eyes.

"It's a lot more fun to show her that I am grateful this way instead." Shawn says with a shrug and walks out of the room.

After Shawn's o so inspiring speech I decided to head to the library luckily the magical room knew that I had just become queen as it let me enter. I had always believed that the books would be huge with some overly grand cover and some overly complicated explanation on why we couldn't use time travel spells but the 'old books' was first really just one book and not even a real book but a really old diary. To say that Kai was even more confused would be an understatement she had waited her whole life to read this thing and it was just an old diary from one of her ancestors, she had thought she had read all the old diaries before so what was so specially about this one. Only one way to find out.

This is the diary of Andrea Lunas heiress to the Soleil Lunas Kingdom

For those who read this diary today you must be 1. An heir or heiress to the Soleil Lunas Kingdom. (If not then as soon as you are done reading this part you will die!) 2. Just finished your destine mission (Those can sometime suck I know!) and 3. Most importantly you must be wondering about the time travel spells. Well it's a very interesting story that starts long before my time the year now being 2115 'there was a legend about a demon named Aku who came from a comet in the sky he caused great evil to fall on the land he had landed on (what is now japan) but their leader stepped up to defeat him with a magical sword and won! But this king was not foolish he had a feeling that Aku may return one day so he formed a plan with other kingdoms so that his son would be trained around the world in case that day happen and well it did happen and the boy was taken away from his home to train. Once the training was done the boy returned home inherited his father's sword and set out to free his land which had been enslaved by Aku, the boy fought Aku and defeated him and his minions all should have been peaceful but the boy was very sad and no one but his parents and close friends knew why. It wasn't until years later after the boy and his parents were gone that a girl who had been his friend as a child told her grandchildren that the boy's true love was lost to him in time.' This had been a story that many people had heard but not really believed for a long time until Aku made his appearance for the third time! That's right a third time and all because some powerful demon only referred to as 'HIM' brings him back because he needed him to defeat three little girls of all things.

Well Him didn't realize how much more powerful Aku was and was quickly gotten rid of but Aku could not defeat the three girls so he went into hiding and waited. Only appearing to corrupt scientist and business men until without the world realizing it a hundred years after the three girls were gone he had taken over the world so he had the scientist build robots to inforce his rule, he began messing with other worlds in the stars it brought great chaos to everyone so a plan was made by the Soleil Lunas Council to go back in time to stop 'Him' from bringing Aku to the world but I as a Seer had two visions one showed me that I needed to make a Bo staff, the other showed me that this plan couldn't take place because the boy from the story was going to be sent to a future that even I won't see and if we interfered Aku's rein would be much worse to the world . So I had to do what any good ruler would do and I forbid the plan and all time travel spells the council was furious I told them one day Aku would be gotten rid of and one of my descents will help in the matter shown in my vision once they are together can it finally be that Aku will no longer be.

I know to those reading this it may seem wrong but time is very tricky and spells dealing with time are even trickier because time cannot be changed to the point of losing important lessons and people and if I had allowed the council to go through with their plan we would lose the lesson. But I gift to you my descents a Bo staff made of fine silver and touched by the moon and the suns magic this Bo staff was created for the purpose of making sure that Aku will stay gone this time and not be summoned again by anyone! Only one of you will end up choosing it though and that person will help defeat Aku twice you just have to wait for the right moment in time…he comes back.

Flash forward to six months later

Pain everything about my life is pain, from having to figure out how to defeat Aku not once but twice to annoying younger siblings and now….

"FUCK! This hurts so much!" Kai screams while laying down on the hospital bed her water had broken earlier that morning and now twelve hours later she was still in labor.

"But think about the wonderful little joy we will have once this is over!" Misty says sitting on one side of the hospital bed.

"Misty, right now I can't see any joy in this at all!" Kai says turning to look at her sister. "Are you eating sushi in here right now?!" Kai screeched at her sister, she was sweating and in pain and her sister choose now of all times to eat.

"Hey! What am I supposed to do starve myself just because you can't eat anything right now! Please." Misty says rolling her eyes as she continued to eat.

"So Kai I was thinking about the baby's name…." Shawn begins to say from the other side of the bed.

"FOR THE LAST TIME, Shawn you are not repeat NOT naming my baby!" Kai says turning her head to look at her brother. She was starting to regret asking them to be with her for this. Before it seemed like a great idea Jack wasn't here and she could use the support but they were just as annoying as ever.

"But I have a great name!" Shawn tries to argue.

"Let me guess the name is 'Shawn' right!" Kai says rolling her eyes at him.

"It's a great name! You know I was named after…." Shawn begins to try and explain.

"I know Shawn! You were named after our great grandfather on mother's side who was a great warrior and leader!" Kai yells at him.

"Not to mention a name like Shawn will pretty much guarantee that boy will be good looking!" Shawn says. "Well just as long as he takes after me that is." Once Kai had found out she was having a boy Shawn had been hounding her to name the baby.

"Do you think he will like sushi like his father Kai? I know you don't care much for it but maybe if he hears us talking about sushi than he will try to come out faster." Misty decides to see.

"What?!" Kai turns her head back to look at her sister once more.

"Come on we've been waiting all day for him! I didn't think when I agreed to be here that he was going to take this long just to be born!" Misty says rolling her eyes.

"Misty, Shawn give me your hand." Kai says surprisingly calm to her two siblings and without really thinking about it they comply until she started squeezing their hands tightly. "I just want you to know that I will get you two back for this whole day of you two annoying the shit out of me!"

"Oh good they offered to hold your hands." The doctor says entering the room. "You're ready to start pushing Queen Kai." The doctor tells her after checking to see if she was ready. "So just take a deep breath and push."

"Fuck!" Kai says still squeezing her sibling's hands as she begins to push. "I wish Jack was here so that I could kill him for doing this to me." Kai says breathing heavily.

"I wish he was here too. So that I wouldn't have to be here!" Shawn says as he grits his teeth as Kai squeezed his hand.

"I second that!" Misty says in pain as her sister continued to squeeze her hand as well.

A few more hours and a lot of screams of pain later it was all over and the boy was born.

"Congratulations, Queen Kai you've given birth to a heathy baby boy." The doctor says as she moves to hand the crying baby to his mother only for him to be picked up by his uncle instead.

"Well, crying aside he looks like a Shawn to me!" Shawn says as he holds the crying baby gently in his arms.

"Shawn give Kai her baby before she kills you!" Misty says seeing as how she was looking right at her sister who had a look that screamed bloody murder.

"Fine." Shawn says also taking note of the look in his older sister's eyes this was not the time to be messing with her so he handed her new born son over to her.

"Shhh, it's ok little one your horrible uncle doesn't have you anymore." Kai cooed at him hoping to stop him from crying which luckily worked. "There we go!" Kai says as she gently holds him being careful with his head. "He's perfect, you're going to look just like your papa!" Though he was just a newborn baby Kai could tell from his facial features that the boy would most likely grow to look like his father saved for maybe a skin tone darker than his father's but lighter than his mother's though the little puff of black hair on his head showed he would at least take after his mother in that respect but the best surprise came when the baby finally opened his eyes.

"He has my eyes!" The three siblings said with joy at the same time. "Your eyes? No my eyes!" This of course caused the three to glare at each other for a bit before they broke down laughing.

"So what are you going to name him?" Misty decides to ask as she cooed at her new nephew who stared back at her with his own honey colored eyes.

"First someone open a window so that I can see the sky." Kai asked and Shawn went over to open the nearest window.

"Starry night Kai! No moon or any clouds it's a perfect starry night." Shawn says as they look out the window this was an important tradition part of their names had to do with what part of the day or night they were born. Kai was born on a full moon, Shawn was born during the day and Misty was born at dawn. "So what is it going to be?"

"Well he has gotten pretty quiet this little warrior so his first name will be Kamau since it means quiet warrior and since it is a starry night the second name will be Hoshizora." Kai says after staring at her son for a while she felt that this would be a good fit. "Welcome to this world my dear little Kamau Hoshizora I can only hope that your father would have loved your name as well."

Jack pov

It was the middle of the night when Jack woke up with a gasped. Trying to clear his head he looked around the room only to sadly see what he now always saw when he woke up even after four years. Still in my bed all alone my wife, my child still so far from me and the memory of that horrible dream once more. After Jack had finished fighting the minions almost every night he would dream the same thing over and over again. It always starts the same I'm walking alone through a field of straw on a bright sunny day though I can never remember why I am there, when suddenly 'Papa!' I hear a child's cry and somehow I know it is my child so I go searching through the field. 'Papa!' this child is young and I can't really tell by the voice if it is a boy or girl but I know this child is mine and needs me 'Papa where are you?' I want to say I'm here I want to say I'm coming but I can't speak why can't I speak? My child needs to know I'm here! I can only think this as I run through the field still searching looking 'Papa!' Suddenly it's dark and the child's voice is getting faint I need to hurry or else I will never find my child. I stand in the middle of the field hoping to hear the child cry papa again so I can know which direction to go but it stops and suddenly I know that I'm alone in the field once more.

This was a recurring dream for Jack that always left him feeling bittersweet, because on the one hand in his heart he knew that this child that haunted his dreams was his the child that Kai, his tsuki had given him and in this dream he could hear the child call him papa which warmed Jack's heart. But also in the dream he could never find his child, could never reach out and hold him/her and wipe away the tears hell he didn't even know if he had a boy or girl and the uncertainty left him bitter whenever he woke up.

"My child when will be the day that I can rest easy? When will be the day that I can know that you are safe?" Jack says out loud to the empty room. That was another issue that plagued him so, he remembered before what his wife had said when she spoke of time travel he defeated Aku but the few possessions he had carried with him were still very much there. Jack lets out a sigh as he pulls out a picture from underneath his pillow. "Had I always looked so in love with you Kai?" Jack asked himself as he stared at the picture of himself and his wife on their wedding day, from time to time he would look at the picture and think about how happy he was that day versus how bitter he felt now. Even the medallion around his neck felt too heavy some days, it even seemed to mock him whenever he thought about how it was supposed be a portal to the Soleil Lunas Kingdom but no matter how much he mediated, waited or even wished that it would take him home it never worked. But he didn't have the strength to part with it either because besides his memories it was one of the few things he had that showed his time in the future was even real.

"Prince Hiroto it is time to start your day." A servant calls from outside his door. So lost in his thoughts he didn't realize that the day had already begun.

"I will be out in a moment." Jack calls back even after four years the sound of his real given name still pierced painfully in his heart. Time to barely live another day wanting something I can't figure out how to have.

A few hours Jack found himself sitting in a council meeting with his father waiting for this boring meeting to be over with.

"And that is what we have so far for the eastern country sides." One of the councilmen finished saying.

"That is very good soon the whole kingdom will truly be restored to its former glory." Emperor Hideaki says to the man. "Is there anymore new business?"

"Well there is the matter of Prince Hiroto? He still has not taken a bride!" Another councilmen says.

"We've already spoke of this before councilmen, Prince Hiroto cannot be forced to…." Emperor Hideaki begins to say but is interrupted by another councilmen.

"With all due respect Emperor Hideaki but the Prince is now twenty nine he should have been married with an heir by now! I know that he went through great battles to save this land but…" The other councilmen begins to say.

"Exactly just that councilmen my son has been through things that are unspeakable just to destroy that villain and save us all! I will not allow him to be forced into a marriage he doesn't want not after everything he has been through!" Emperor Hideaki argues back.

"He needs a wife!" The councilmen tries again. "For four years we have been patient! We've even agreed that he could take a foreign wife if he wished. He has offers from kingdoms all around the world and yet he chooses to ignore them all!"

"That is enough! Prince Hiroto will decide if and when he chooses to marry now if there isn't any other new business this meeting is over!" Emperor Hideaki says firmly the council for now deciding to let it go one by one leave the room. "Do you even have anything to say to all this?" Emperor Hideaki asked his son when the last man had left.

"Only that Kai was right it is very interesting to see a group of people talk about you like you are not even there when you are in fact sitting right in front of them." Jack tells his father plainly. "The only difference being for her of course is that there are woman on her council."

"I wish you would take this matter more seriously son, there is talk of taking the throne from you and giving it to a distant cousin instead if this continues!" Emperor Hideaki says with worry.

"If they must let them because I can never betray my wife and our child by taking another!" Jack says forcefully to his father. "After all that I've been through for this land I deserve that much and any kingdom is nothing without them."

"I do hope that you know what you are doing son. I truly do." Emperor Hideaki says standing up and getting ready to leave the room. "Don't forget that Kgosi is set to visit you from Africa tomorrow I know how you missed your old friend hopefully his presence will cheer you up."

The next day Kgosi arrived on a ship to the kingdom and was driven by carriage to Jack's home.

"My brother it is good to see that you are well! It has been many moons since we last saw each other as mere children." Kgosi says in greeting to Jack. Kgosi sure had grown to stand as tall as his father the chief had been in their youth.

"It is good to see you as well Kgosi! Come let me show you around the kingdom." Jack tells his childhood friend and the two set off to explore the kingdom together just like in their youth.

"Remember how much we hated each other back when we were children." Kgosi says as they sit in front of a straw field watching other families with their children play.

"Yes of course it was your own fault! You were very annoying thinking that I wasn't good enough to be seen as a member of your family." Jack agrees with a laugh.

"And now look at us two fully grown man ready to rule our own lands right!" Kgosi says with a smile turning to look at his friend but noticing the deep frown on his face. "What is the matter?"

"This land…before my journey I would have thought the same as you but now." Jack pauses and lets out a sigh. "I just wish to return home to my family."

"But you are home with your family?" Kgosi says in confusion.

"Well I mean my other family you see-" Jack begins to explain everything to his friend from being sent into the future, finding Kai, the battles they fought together, their marriage, their child and her pushing him through the time portal sending him back here. "And so you see that is why this land doesn't feel right to me any longer."

"My gods! All of that happened to you." Kgosi says in surprise as Jack only nodded his head. "This Kai must be some woman if she has you so worked up!"

"That she is look!" Jack says pulling out the picture from their wedding from his sleeve and showing it to his friend.

"Yes well I can see why you can't forget about this she is just so-" Kgosi begins to say looking at the picture staring at Kai.

"Watch what you say about my wife!" Jack says forcefully stanching the picture out of Kgosi hand.

"I'm just saying if I was separated from that woman I would do any and everything in my power to return back to her." Kgosi finally gets out.

"But what else can I do?" Jack asked his friend. "The councilmen are getting reckless even to the point of sending naked women to by room in the hopes that I would take one of them."

"You searched for over a year on a way to return back here surely you can search for a way back to your wife." Kgosi says with a shrug.

A week after Kgosi's visit Jack felt surprisingly lighter than he had been aside from the still pushy council he was able to finally just sit back and enjoy his time here. He now filled his days with searching for ways to return back to his tsuki and buying little toys for his child that he was now more than determined to finally see, he had his bags packed and everything.

"Are you sure that this is the path you wish to go Hiroto?" His mother Empress Chika asked him once more.

"Yes mother, I've done all I can for this land now I must return to where I belong." Jack tells his parents once more.

"Then if you are sure we will be coming with you." Emperor Hideaki says to him.

"But what about this kingdom?" Jack questions his parents.

"This Kingdom doesn't need me any longer, the only reason I was even made emperor again was because you said you were not ready to rule." Hideaki tells him.

"We've already missed so much of your own growth, we couldn't bare missing out on our grandchild as well." Chika tells him.

"Thank you mother, father this means a great deal to me." Jack says hugging his mother when his medallion began to glow bright blue.

"What is happening?" Hideaki asked his son.

"I don't know it hasn't done anything in four years!" Jack says just as surprised as his parents.

"It's opening up a portal in time for you." A voice says from behind them surprising the three.

"What?!" Jack says now looking at this new comer in the room she looked a lot like his wife but he could tell that it wasn't really her.

"You've wish to return for four long years and now finally the time is right for you to go if you truly wish." The strange woman tells them.

"I do, I truly wish to go!" Jack says.

"Think wisely on this samurai for once you've walk through you may never return back here." The woman warns him.

Jack turns and look at his parents once more. "I know in my heart that I am ready to leave but I can understand if you wish not to follow with me. The future will be strange and confusing and I know you love this land and its people like family-"

"My son, you are right I do love this land and its people but now I am a tired old man who just wishes to spend the rest of his days with my little family that I had been apart from for too many years and no matter what time period it may be that is where I wish to stay." His father tells him firmly.

"And all I could ever wish for is to be with my family as well so I too will follow after you." His mother adds in.

"We are ready to go." Jack says turning back to look at the strange woman once more.

"Then gather the things you need and go through." The woman says now about to leave.

"Wait?! Who are you?" Jack asked wondering why this woman was helping him.

"My name is Andrea Lunas, Samurai Jack be sure to tell your wife this when she sees you again she will know who I am." And with that Andrea disappears out of the room.

Jack and his parents gather up their most important things and then meet where the time portal was still open. Time to return home Jack thinks as he and his family hold hands and walk through the portal together.

Jack has traveled through time a total of three different moments in his life. The first time when he was going through time he was very confused and the space around him was just black and white. The second time he felt hurt and betrayed having been pushed in by his wife the one he trusted the most in that strange new world. The third time he was at peace and maybe because he was at peace did it feel like walking through a door rather than going through space and time. I can't believe I'm finally home again. Jack thinks as he looks at the golden palace again in awe he could cry right now he was so overcome with joy.

"Hiroto this place is amazing!" His father's voice broke his train of thought and he turned back to look at his parents who couldn't seem to decide on where to look at the palace or the city behind them with the flying carriages.

"Yes, it takes some time to get use to but it really is wonderful." Jack says to his parents a part of him wanted to laugh but he remembered when he first came to his new kingdom and how overwhelming everything seemed at first. "Come I need to let everyone know that I am here once more."

Jack and his parents climb up the long steps to the entrance when they were stopped by a guard at the door.

"Stop! Don't move any further!" The guard yells at the three new comers other guards standing at the door as well ready to defend themselves if needed. "Who are you people? State your business?"

"My name is Hiroto Jack and these are my parents and as for our business well I would very much like to get into my palace and see my family." Jack says plainly.

The guard steps up to look at Jack only to be surprised when she recognized the man. "My apologies King Hiroto Jack, we have not seen you in four year w-we-" The guard begins to stammer in embarrassment in front of everyone how did she not recognized her own King.

"It is fine, you were doing your job and can't be faulted for making sure that my family was safe." Jack tells the guard dismissing her for now. "Now let my parents and myself through the doors." Jack ordered.

"Yes, my King." The guard says bowing her head and signaling for the other guards to move out of the way. The three began walking inside the palace when they heard clapping from out of nowhere.

"Bravo Jack, bravo you still know how to walk around this place like you own it." Misty says clapping her hands from behind the new comers.

"Misty!" Jack shouts with joy as he reached out to hug his sister in law once more. "Look at you!" Jack says as he looks at the young girl she had changed some in the time that he had been gone gotten taller looked older even but she was still his little sister.

"It's good to see you too Jack!" Misty says hugging him back she really missed him. "I see you brought some people with you this time." Misty says pointing out to his parents that had just been standing there watching the exchange.

"Oh right! Mother, Father this is my sister in law Misty Alba. Misty these are my parents Hideaki and Chika." Jack says introducing Misty to his parents.

"It is very nice to meet you two." Misty says kindly bowing to the older couple.

"It is nice to meet you as well Misty our son has spoken very fondly of you." Chika tells the young girl.

"Really?" Misty says in surprise looking back up at Jack.

"Yes is it true that you tricked everyone into thinking that the two were engaged?" Hideaki then asked the girl.

"Yes, yes I did!" Misty says proudly nodding her head. "But enough of that now I'm sure that you Jack wish to be with Kai once more." Misty says dragging him away. "She is in a council meeting with the noblemen and women but I am sure she would be more than happy just to see you and-" They had been walking towards the council hall when they passed the royal garden Jack stopped having heard children's laughter coming from the garden.

"Misty w-who's in the garden right now?" Jack asked his voice was a bit shaky.

"Go on and find out." Misty encouraged not giving anything away.

Jack hadn't been this nervous since he asked Kai to marry him. In that garden was his child the one that had haunted his dreams for the past four years, and he was finally going to see this child. "Come on!" Misty having gotten tired of watching her brother in law stand around doing nothing grabs his hand and drags him into the garden.

He heard the laughter again now very sure that he did in fact hear at least two children not just one. Is it possible that Kai had twins! That thought left his mind once he finally saw one of the children running through the garden. While this child looked to be about the right age it was clear that this couldn't be his.

"Hurry up! You ninny!" This young boy shouted laughing joyfully this boy had red hair, spoke with a Scottish accent, and wore a kilt he was also rather large for his age, he was also carrying a wooden play sword. I had no idea Bruce had a son! Jack thinks looking at the boy it was clear that in the time he was gone his best friend also was blessed with a child.

"Don't call me a ninny Scotty!" Another voice shouted back a bit in anger. Soon this child came into view running as fast as his little legs could carry him in his blue kimono Jack and his parents couldn't help but gasp.

"Hiroto, my goodness he looks just like-" His mother begins to say.

"Me?!" Jack says staring at his son, HIS SON. He had a son, a cute little three year old son who looked just like him when he was young, saved for his skin tone, and hair though black had just a hint of red when the sun hit it just right and eyes Jack felt like he was looking right at his own younger self again. A son who was playing swords with his friend just like he had done as a child.

"Kamau! Kamau get over here!" Misty yells waving her nephew over to where they were standing.

"Yes Aunty Mist!" Kamau squeals back stopping his play time for now to run over to his aunt. He stops short when he sees the strange man standing next to his aunt, he knew this man but only from stories and pictures he just stands there with his big honey colored eyes opened wide and stares.

All was still in this moment as father and son were brought to each other for the first time. All they could do was stare at each other one in awe and the other in a shocked daze.

"Papa!" Kamau says being the first to break the trance drops his wooden sword and starts running towards the man he had waited all of his short life to be able to see. "Papa!" Now the small boy was hugging his father's leg staring up at the tall man with so much joy in his big honey colored eyes.

My son. That is all Jack could think as he looked back down at the young boy that looked up at him with so much unwavering love and joy despite the fact that this was their first time meeting one another. He looks so happy he looks like- "Papa!" The sound of his son's voice broke his thoughts and he looked down to see the mini version of himself reaching his little hands up towards him. "Up! Papa up!" Kamau asked with glee and how could Jack deny his son a simple request, so he lifted him up so that they were finally eye to eye. "Papa!" Kamau squealed than wrapped his little arms around his father's neck hugging him with all the strength a little child could muster.

"Yes, little one I am your Papa." Jack says through tears as he holds his son just as tightly. Everything faded away at that moment it was just him and his son, he forgot about his parents and didn't notice Misty taking pictures with her phone his only focus was the little one in his arms. "My boy, my son!" Jack exclaimed happily as he started to spin his son around much to his delight.

"What's going on?" says a new voice entering the garden.

"Kai?" Jack says turning his attention to his wife having heard her voice.

"Jack?" Kai exclaims loudly in shock as she stared at her husband.

Kai pov

Meetings can be so boring and a bit annoying but it's needed to get things done especially since this was a meeting to discuss the final attack on Aku. During the past four years I finally gave Shawn the one thing that he had been waiting for which was to leave but his mission was to gather troops. In order to take out Aku once and for all we had to also make a plan to take out the minions working for him as well. So since I was a new mother I sent Shawn out to all the allies Jack and I made and the planning began. In about three more months we will give Aku a battle that he will never see coming, though my biggest concern is still how am I going to pull this off without Jack?

These were Kai's thoughts when the meeting was about to be over it, luckily Bruce was here and though his ideas were well… crazy it kept Kai amused enough to keep paying attention.

"I'm tellin ya if we bomb everything then BOOM problem solved." Bruce yelled at the council once more.

"Bruce, we've been over this bombs don't solve everything!" Shawn argues back.

"Oh, yeah ask your sister about how many battles we did that ended easily because of bombs!" Bruce yells back.

"Enough! Bruce, Shawn is right we would risk too much if we bombed that building! Now if there isn't any new business this meeting is over." Kai says getting involved before a fight broke out.

"Well Queen Kai, there is the matter of you getting remarried." Mrs. Cortez says causing everyone in the room to groan unhappily.

"For the last time lady, Kai is not marrying your boony blathering numpty of a son!" Bruce yells angrily.

"Plus Mrs. Cortez your son is getting married to a perfectly nice girl! Now if that is all I'm going to go check on my son." Kai says walking out of the room before anyone could argue any further with her.

Goodness when that woman has a goal she doesn't know how to give it up luckily Bruce is more than happy to argue with her seeing as how he is loyal to his friend even if he is not here. Kai walks to the royal garden knowing her son and his best friend they would be playing swords right about now. "Papa!" Wait that sounds like Kamau but who would he…..

"What's going on?" Kai says entering the garden confused.

"Kai?!" Jack says turning his attention to his wife having heard her voice.

"Jack?" Kai exclaims loudly in shock as she stared at her husband. "What? How?" Kai says now a bit shaky and walking towards him, there was Jack in the middle of the garden holding their son.

"Mama look its Papa!" Kamau says excitedly from his father's arms.

"Jack." Kai says in dazed as she now stands in front of them touching his cheek carefully almost like she was afraid that he would disappear at any moment.

"Kai, my tsuki." Jack whispers as he carefully sets Kamau down so that he could have a look at her. She unlike her sister appeared to be barely changed in fact if he didn't know any better he would swear that only a day had passed for her since they last saw each other. He wrapped his arms around his wife and lean forward until their foreheads were touching. "My wife." And with that Jack kisses her tasting her again like a man who hasn't eaten for a long time forgetting again about everyone else.

"Me Buddy!" Bruce's loud booming voice not only interrupted the couple's happy reunion, but he also broke them apart in order to pull his friend into a bear hug.

"Bruce! It's….good…to….see….you as well." Jack tries to get out as Bruce squeezes him tightly in a hug.

"Da! Why are you hugging this ninny?!" It would seem that little Scotty had become curious about this new comer that everyone was excited about.

"This isn't no ninny son! This is Samurai Jack! Greatest man who ever lived besides your old man aye!" Bruce told his son. "Why we've been through countless battles, fought bounty hunters even saved your ma from the Celtic demon!"

"Really?" Scotty asked in disbelief.

"Yes! We even-" Bruce began to say again only for Kai to interrupt him.

"Bruce if you don't mind could you let my husband go before you squeeze him to death!" Kai says having watched Jack getting paler the more Bruce held on to him.

"Oh right!" Bruce says finally releasing Jack. "So how have you been?"

"Much better now that I am home." Jack tells his friend.

"Speaking of which how did you get back here?" Kai decides to question.

"I will explain once we are inside but first-" Jack begins to say picking up his son once again and grabbing a hold of his wife's hand he walks them over to his parents.

"Mother, Father this is my wife Kai Lunas and our son Kamau-?" Jack turns to look at his wife wondering what the second part of his son's name was.

"Hoshizora! His full name is Kamau Hoshizora." Kai answers ruffling Kamau hair a bit as she says this.

"It is nice to finally meet you Queen Kai Lunas," Hideaki says bowing respectfully.

"You truly are everything my son said you were." Chika adds in also bowing.

"Thank you." Kai says with a light blush covering her face and bowing back at them.

"Little one say hello to your sofubo." Jack says settling his son down in front of his parents.

"Sofubo?" Kamau asked looking at his father in confusion as he stood in front of the two.

"It means grandparents little one." Jack explained to his son gently. "You see that man over there is your oji-san and the woman is your oba-san, now can you remember that little one?"

"Yes Papa." Kamau said nodding his little head shyly.

"Good, now go on and say hello little one." Jack tells his son gently nudging him. Kamau shyly steps a little closer to the older couple than looks back at his father once more. "Go on." His father encouraged.

"Come here little one it's ok." Chika says encouraging him to step closer to her. "Hello Kamau." His oba-san says once he reached her.

"Hello oba-san." Kamau shyly answers back.

"It is nice to finally meet you Kamau." Hideaki tells him. "You know you look just like your papa when he was your age."

"Really?" Kamau asked in surprise.

"Yes! And do you know who your papa looked like when he was your age?" Hideaki asked picking the small boy up and the small boy shook his head signaling no. "Your papa looked just like me!"

"Really!?" Kamau asked excitedly. "Is he going to grow a long beard too?!" Kamau asked his oji-san tugging on his white beard.

"If he wants to." Hideaki answered back tickling the boy much to his delight.

Jack and Kai watched on as Kamau happily became more and more comfortable with his new found grandparents.

"About the beard Jack….don't do it." Kai tells him.

"Why not?" Jack questioned.

"So many reasons Jack, so many reasons." Kai says shaking her head.

About an hour later the group decided to move on to the private dining room in order to have lunch and to find out how Jack and his parents were able to come to the future. To make Jack's parents feel more comfortable Kai had ordered for a Japanese style table though Bruce and Scotty looked uncomfortable Kamau of course was happily placed between his parents.

Kai could tell that this was an exciting day for Kamau, from the moment he was born she vowed to make sure that her son knew as much as he could about his father between her stories, Bruce's stories and the older kids stories that Kamau listen to whenever they went to the park, Jack became his son's hero and the boy wanted to be just like his papa. Though it was painful to see the hope in his little eyes whenever he asked if his papa would come home soon, Kai would always tell him maybe one day not having the heart to tell him the truth. One day though he insisted on wearing kimonos like his papa and even tried to fix his hair in what Kai liked to call man-bun like his father and when Kai asked him why he simple answered that maybe if his father heard about how much Kamau was just like him then he would want to come home. Of all the things she ever had to go through and see in that moment her heart broke for the child, she hadn't known what she was going to do when he got older and his father never came how heartbroken and angry he would be once he learned what his mother did. But by some miracle Jack had return and this time the worry of his parents could be forgotten and Kamau was only three still young enough that years from now he may not even remember that his father wasn't there for the first three years of his life.

"Kamau sit still." Kai tells her son having been watching him bounce around in his seat.

"Yes, Mama." Kamau says now trying to sit still as best as a three year old can managed, he looked at the way his papa and oji-san were sitting and tried his best to copy them. Because two children were present it was silently decided that serious discussion would wait until they were set away. So most of the meal was spent with light talking and funny stories and watching Kamau try to use chop sticks without help. After they were all finished eating Scotty was ready to get up and start playing again.

"Come on hurry up let's go!" Scotty yells impatiently waiting for his friend to leave the table.

"Mama, can I go play now?" Kamau asked in a surprisingly well-mannered way.

"Yes, you may Kamau remember only go to the garden or your play room don't go running around the halls again." Kai informed him.

"Yes, Mama." Kamau says as he got up and left the room with his friend.

"Well that was surprising!" Misty exclaims once the two boys were gone.

"Tell me about it!" Shawn adds in and the three siblings start laughing.

"What's so funny?" Jack asked clearly confuse with what was going on.

"Jack I guess you wouldn't notice it but Kamau spent the whole meal trying to copy you!" Kai explained.

"Really?" Jack questioned.

"Yes!" Everyone answered at once.

"Jack all throughout the meal all Kamau did was watch how you sat, ate what you ate, tried to use chop sticks by himself even though he doesn't know how to yet!" Misty says.

"Not to mention the 'Mama, can I go play now?' geez I can't tell you how many times I had to remind him to ask before leaving the table." Kai says rolling her eyes a bit.

"He is not always this well-mannered?" Jack questioned.

"Jack what three year old is well-mannered?" Shawn asked.

"I have a twenty three year old brother who still isn't completely well-mannered." Kai adds in with a smirk.

"Well I have a twenty eight year old spinster of an older sister who-" Shawn begins to say back.

"Enough! I get the point Kamau isn't usually this well behaved, though this surprises me I remember being very well-mannered as a child." Jack says thinking fondly back to his own childhood.

"I believe you are mistaken son." Hideaki tells him.

"Well he was well-mannered…eventually." Chika adds in causing everyone in the room to laugh much to Jack's embarrassment.

"So Jack why did you return back?" Bruce decides to finally question after the laughter died down. "Last we heard from you, the most important thing was freeing your people from Aku!"

"Well, after I had….gone through the time portal I had landed right behind Aku as he sent my past self into the future." Jack began to explain. It had been strange feeling jealous watching his past self be sent into the future. "Catching Aku by surprise I quickly defeated him with the final blown that almost defeated him before. And then in the coming weeks after I set out to get rid of all of Aku's followers, once that was done my father reclaimed his throne and we had been working for four years to restore everything when I was given the opportunity to return so I took it and my parents came with me."

"You know what I still don't understand? If you defeated Aku how is he still here now?" Bruce questioned loudly.

"What?!" Jack says in shock his parents looked equally as disturbed as well.

"I can explain that. After Jack….went through the portal I had returned home and seeing as how I had completed my destine mission. I had decided to check the old books about the time travel spells, well long story short Aku was summoned back to this world for the third time but decided to lay low and do more planning before attacking again." Kai explained.

"Who would want to summon an evil demon like Aku?" Hideaki asked in shock.

"Another demon, luckily Andrea Lunas's diary explained everything to me." Kai answered.

"Andrea Lunas?" Jack question. "She was there when the portal open so that myself and my parents could come here!"

"Really? She's my ancestor….YOU! It was you that she was referring to when she wrote he comes back!" Kai exclaims.

"She must have known that we would need him again to finish off Aku!" Bruce exclaims.

"Yes, after you had returned back home I came up with a plan that would not only take out Aku but his minions as well." Kai begins to explain.

"Right and in three months the troops will be ready to go and then the bombing can begin!" Bruce says excitedly.

"No bombs! For the last time Bruce we are not doing that!" Shawn says standing up.

"I'm the General of the Army and I say we use bombs lot and lots of bombs!" Bruce yells.

"Co-General! We are co-generals and it was already agreed that we wouldn't do that!" Shawn yells back.

"Guys please we will talk about it in the next meeting so stop yelling." Kai tries to calm them down.

"But?!" Bruce tries to argue.

"I said to stop don't make me repeat myself." Kai tells him darkly.

"Yes ma'am." Bruce says nervously sitting back down.

"Glad to see that some things don't change." Jack says happily with a laugh.

The rest of the day was spent with Jack spending some time with his son and getting his parents settled into the palace, before he realized it the day was over and it was time to put Kamau to bed.

"I don't want to sleep Mama! I want to play with my Papa!" Kamau pouted from his bed he hated not having his way.

"Kamau, please you know it's time for bed now!" Kai firmly tells her son trying to tuck him in. "And I know that you are tired so come on let's get you to bed. You can play with Papa tomorrow ok."

"But what if he leaves again?" Kamau says sadly in a quiet voice hugging on to his teddy bear named the Samurai Bear.

"What? Kamau what makes you think Papa is going to leave?" Kai questions her son sitting down on the bed next to him.

"Uncle Bruce and Shawn leave all the time to fight monsters. Sometimes Scotty says that he goes to sleep and his Da is there but when he wakes up he is gone." Kamau explained. "If I don't go to sleep than Papa can't leave me." Little did he realize his father had been listening in on their discussion, so he sat down on the other side of Kamau's bed so that he could speak with him.

"Kamau, little one listen to me carefully. Now you know that I have a very important job to do right?" Jack asked his son who nodded his head while squeezing his bear more tightly. "I cannot lie to you son there will be some days that I do have to go and fight monsters. But it is only so that you, Mama, Aunt Misty, Uncle Shawn and your sofuba can be safe. And there will be some days where I am gone for a long time and you will miss me and I will miss you. But I promise little warrior that I will do everything I can to come back home."

"Ok Papa." Kamau says quietly he still wasn't happy about it but he knew that the world needed his Papa to be a hero he just wished the world had picked someone else's Papa sometimes.

"How about a story little one will that make you feel better?" Jack asked his son, he hated seeing his son look so upset but it was better that they had this talk now and not later.

"Yes, Papa." Kamau says nodding his head and hugging his bear more tightly.

"This is a story that my mother told me when I was a boy. Long, long ago, in the land of our ancestors there lived an old woodcutter and his wife. They loved each other very much." Jack began the story.

"Just like you and Mama?!" Kamau asked interrupting the story.

"Yes, little one just like me and Mama." Jack says looking at his wife and gently squeezing her hand. "Any way they were often sad, for they had no children. But one day, the king of heaven smiled upon them and sent a gift. As the old woman was washing some clothes by the river a huge peach came floating downstream. She took it home with her. And when her husband returned home from chopping wood that evening she presented the giant peach for supper. "I have never seen such a marvelous fruit,'' exclaimed the old man. ''Let us taste it right away!'' But just before they could slice it, the peach popped open and there stood a beautiful baby boy. The old couple were shocked, to say the least. ''Don't worry,'' said the boy. ''l have been sent from heaven to be your son." The couple were overjoyed, and named their new son Momotaro, which means ''peach boy''. They loved him with all their hearts. And Momotaro grew into a fine, strong boy. One day, Peach Boy went to his parents. ''Mother, father,'' he said ''you have been so kind to me, I want to repay you." He told them he wanted to travel to Ogre Island and rid the country of the terrible ogres that robbed and pillaged the land. The old couple worried for Momotaro's safety but they knew he was a special boy. Along his travels Momotaro came across a hungry dog, who meant to bite him. But he gave the dog one of the dumplings his mother had packed for him instead. ''I am going to fight the ogres on Ogre Island,'' said Momotaro. 'Then I will help you,'' said the grateful dog. Soon they met an angry monkey, who threw sticks at them. Momotaro threw a dumpling back at the monkey. The monkey's mood quickly changed.

And when he learned of where they were going the monkey vowed to help them fight the ogres, too. As the three left the forest, they met a vigilant pheasant. The pheasant turned out to be fond of dumplings but not fond of ogres at all and decided to join Momotaro on his mission. When the band of adventurers reached the sea they went to work building a boat and soon set sail for Ogre Island. Momotaro and his friends came ashore and found an ominous fortress full of terrible ogres of all kinds. The gate was well-guarded, but Peach Boy devised a plan. ''Pheasant flew over the walls and attacked the guards!'' The ogres swung at him, but the quick Pheasant dodged their blows. With the guards distracted, Monkey climbed the wall and unlocked the gate, so that Momotaro and Spotted Dog could charge in and take the ogres by surprise. It was a terrible battle. Pheasant pecked the ogres' heads. Dog bit at them. Monkey clawed their faces. And Momotaro swung at them with his father's ax. At last, the ogres surrendered. They bowed before Momotaro in defeat and gave him all the treasure they had stolen promising to never do wicked deeds again. The four friends heaped the treasure onto their boat and sailed home to give it back to the people of Peach Boy's land. The woodcutter and his wife were overjoyed to see their son return safely. And with Momotaro home, he and his family lived very, very happily. The end." Jack says finishing the story.

"Did you find me in a peach too Papa?" Kamau asked innocently after the story was over.

"No little one you were in your Mama's belly like most children." Jack answered simply.

"How did I get in there?" Kamau asked in wonder causing Kai to hold back a laugh as Jack's face become red.

"That I'm afraid is a story for when you are older much older." Jack replies back to his son. "Alright now time for bed now!" Jack said before his son could ask for any more questions.

"Good night Kamau, Mama loves you." Kai says kissing his forehead as he laid down on his bed.

"Night Mama, Kamau loves you." Kamau says back with a giggle as his mother kissed his forehead that had always been their good night greetings.

"Good night Kamau, Papa loves you." Jack says gently running his hand through his son's hair.

"Night Papa-" Kamau begins to say but can't hold back his yawn as he falls asleep. "Kamau loves you." Kamau whispered as he finally falls asleep.

"You're really good at this if I didn't know any better I would say that you've been doing this forever." Kai whispers as the two quietly watch their son sleep.

"I hope so I feel like I've been waiting forever to do this." Jack whispers back. "We had better head to bed ourselves." Jack says after a while Kai just nods her head in agreement and the two stand up to walk out of the room Jack of course lingering just a bit to take a final look at his sleeping son.

Sometime later when the couple were alone in their room, they were just about ready for bed when Kai decided to bring up an important issue.

"Alright Jack go ahead and say it!" Kai says with a sigh from their bed.

"Say what?" Jack says evenly he had a feeling about where this was going but had been hoping to avoid it.

"Jack, you know that I would be able to sense it! You're mad, you can try to bury it all you want but I can read your aura remember?" Kai tells him.

"Ok, you want me to talk about it than fine! I am mad." Jack begins to say as he glared at her. "I begged you not to do it Kai! Begged, pleaded, and you still pushed me through that portal! You the one person that I trusted above everyone else since I got to the future. You pushed me away from you, our child, our family, everything! It nearly destroyed me! I spent weeks going through battle after battle just to avoid the pain of betrayal by my own wife! And as soon as the battles were done it was months before I could even stop crying. Four years I had to be away, four years of wondering about you and our child, worrying about you and our child. Not even knowing if I had a son or daughter, being haunted by that fact in my dreams every night. And on top of that having to deal with councilmen trying to force me to marry another, willing to send naked woman to my room!" Jack all but yells all his anger and frustration out. "Every day I missed you. Every day I wanted you, and each day I woke up without you was another painful reminder that you really were far from me."

"I'm sorry Jack. I really am sorry." Kai begins to say as she holds back tears. "From the very moment I pushed you through all I could wonder is why couldn't I have just been a little more selfish. I returned home crying and wishing I had been just a little more selfish. When I found out we were having a boy and you were not around to share the news with, I asked myself why I couldn't have been more selfish. When I was in labor with Kamau and you weren't there all I could wished was that I could have been more selfish. And as time passed it got more painful for me as well, when Kamau first smiled, laughed, crawled, stood up, walked, and talked. All those things you couldn't be there for I hated myself for not being just a little more selfish. But I hated myself the most because I did not regret it, because if I had been just a little more selfish you still being there and all those moments would have been tainted by your guilt for leaving your people behind."

"But it was my decision Kai!" Jack says firmly. "My decision to stay with you and our child."

"And I'm sorry that I had to make it for you!" Kai firmly says back. "I'm sorry that you had to feel betrayed by me and I'm sorry that you missed the first three years of your son's life. But I don't regret it and if you're waiting for me to say that I do than you'll have to wait forever."

"I know Kai." Jack finally says with a sign. "You wouldn't have been you if you had been selfish and you are right I would have felt very guilty. But I can't help but to feel guilty now, when Kamau looks at me with such love and joy in his eyes I can't help but feel like….I don't deserve it."

"Jack, of course you deserve it!" Kai says approaching him and turning his head so that he would look at her. "You've had to train most of your life and be away from your parents, you were sent to a foreign future that you had to deal with. You've fought in battles for people and asked for nothing in return, you gave up opportunities to go back home just to do what you felt was right. You of all people deserve a family, a son that loves you!"

Jack felt touched by his wife's words so much so that he could not stay upset any longer so he kissed her. "Kai, let's just forget about the past now. The most important thing is that I'm here again now, we can try to move forward." Jack says in between kisses leading them towards their bed. "I have missed you and it has been way to long since I've had you." They remove their robes and get into the bed all while still kissing.

Jack enters her very quickly it being four long years since they done this he was backed up with frustration. "Oh my still so tight!" Jack gasped as he began pounding inside her warmth, he already knew tonight he wouldn't be gentle he had waited much too long and didn't have much patients right now. "After all this time it's still perfect."

"Jack! You're so good." Kai moaned as well enjoying the feel of her husband after not having him for so long.

"I bet you missed this didn't you?! I bet you craved it every night?!" Jack says a bit cocky as he thrusted even harder now rocking their bed.

"Yes!" Kai groans out as she took his hard poundings she was happy the room was sound proof she didn't think this could be explained to their son very well. "I missed it so much!"

"That's it my tsuki take it oh, be a good wife and take your husband again!" Jack moans as he continues his poundings.

"Yes Jack! I'll be a good wife and take it." Kai tells him as she gripped to his well-muscled back.

"My wife, I love you! Don't dare ever push me away again you hear me!" Jack says as he becomes more relentless with his poundings. "Don't you dare push me away from you and our children, and yes I said children because believe me when I say this you will bare more for me!"

"Yes my husband whatever you say." Kai all but yells, Jack could tell by the way her walls tighten around him that she was getting close.

"That's it Kai let me bring you to your release!" Jack says continuing his poundings though he could tell that he was getting close himself. "I know you've missed me doing this for you."

"Oh, oh Jack!" Kai screams as she finally reaches her peak.

"Yes oh, Kai yes!" Jack shouts as her tighten walls help bring him to his own release.

"That was-" Kai begins to say after finally being able to catch her breathe.

"Just the first round." Jack finishes saying as he begins to thrust himself inside her again. "You've been a bad vixen that needs to be punished!"

Kamau pov (cause he's cute!)

Kamau Hoshizora like everyone else in his family always woke up early in the morning. That suited him just fine because Mama said she and Papa woke up early all the time when they had been off fighting monsters. So since he woke up early that had to mean he was going to be a great hero just like Mama and Papa, so now that he was awake it was time for him to fight his very own monsters!

"Come on Samurai Bear! Today we battle with ogres just like in Papa's story!" Kamau says excitedly getting out of bed with his bear and running to his toy box. "Just got to use some magic on the toys and we will be all set!" Ever since Kamau's powers started to develop he took play time to a whole new level.

"But Mama said not to use your magic without her being there remember what happened last time." Kamau said pretending it was Samurai Bear talking.

"Things are different now Samurai Bear, Papa is here and I got to show him I'm a good warrior like him so that I can go with him and fight real monsters." Kamau argues with Samurai Bear.

"I'm not sure Kamau you could still get in a lot of trouble!" Samurai Bear says.

"Don't worry nothing's gonna go wrong and then Papa is going see how great of a hero I am!" Kamau says excitedly.

Jack pov

As I lay in bed cuddled up to my still sleeping wife I couldn't help but be remind of how happy I was to be back with her. There was no home without her and Kamau now and I was so glad that I would have the rest of my life to show them how much they meant to me. Jack was completely relaxed and was in no hurry to get out of bed until he heard frantic knocking on their bedroom door.

"What could possibly be the matter this early in the morning?" Jack questions as he hears the knocking.

"What?" Kai says a bit drowsy having been startled awake.

"Someone is knocking on our door." Jack answers getting up and putting on his kimono. "And by how frantic the knocking is I can tell the news must be important."

"Great, now we get to start the day with some kind of emergency!" Kai groans out in disappointment grabbing her own robe. The couple reach the door together to see a panicked Brandy at the door. "Brandy what's the matter?" Kai asked in concern.

"You guys its Kamau!" Brandy tells the couple.

"What?! What happen to my son?!" Jack yells out loud this causes his parents to come out of their room as well having heard their son's worried voice.

"What's going on is Kamau alright?" Chika asked as soon as she saw the couple.

"Brandy tell me what's going on?" Kai asked trying to stay as calm as possible between everyone's panicked aura she had to be the one to keep her head.

"He did it again!" Brandy says looking both panicked and frustrated.

"Are you serious?! I just told him the other day not to do this!" Kai shouts marching over to her son's room.

"Not to do what?" Jack asked in worry as he and his parents followed after his wife to Kamau's room. "Why are there ogres in my son's room?" Jack having walked in to see three big ogres in said room fighting his son who was armed with a teddy bear and a wooden play sword.

"Kamau Hoshizora!" Kai says waving her hand and magical causing the three big ogres to disappear and become mere play toys.

"Good Morning Mama." Kamau says in a nervous tone he knew that voice he was in big trouble.

"What have I told you about using magic to turn your toys into monsters to fight with?!" Kai asked scolded the boy.

"You said not to do it without you being there." Kamau answers looking down at his feet feeling too ashamed to look his mother in the eye.

"And why did I tell you not to do it?" Kai asked continuing to scold her son.

"Because I could lost control of my magic and get hurt." Kamau answered in a quiet voice.

"So why did you not listen to me?" Kai asked crossing her arms over her chest.

"Cause…cause I-I" Kamau whimpers as tears slowly fall from his eyes.

"Well?" Kai demanded to know what her son had been thinking.

"I just wanted to show Papa I can be a good warrior too! Like you and him and Peach-boy!" Kamau weeps loudly not bothering to hold back the tears any longer. Seeing his son crying like this makes Jack walk over to comfort the boy.

"Kamau what makes you think you need to prove that you are a good warrior to me?" Jack asked his son gently as he seat the boy on his lap and wiped away his tears.

"I want to go with you when you go fight real monsters like Uncle Shawn and Bruce so I thought-" Kamau begins to explain.

"That if you could show Papa how good you were he could take you as well." Kai says with a sigh shaking her head.

"Kamau, I'm afraid you have a long way to go before you will be ready to fight real monsters." Jack gently tries to explain.

"But why?" Kamau whined a bit. "I trained by myself for a whole month and everything!"

"Yes, but you will need more than just a month to be ready. It took years for me, your Mama, and Uncle Shawn just to train to fight monsters and you still have a long way to go little one you have to wait until the time is right." Jack says firmly.

"Ok," Kamau says in a disappointed voice.

"Until than how about I teach you a few important warrior things to get you started on your training." Jack offered trying to cheer the boy up.

"Really?" Kamau asked hopefully.

"Yes." Jack said nodding his head.

"Yea!" Kamau says excitedly hugging his father's neck in joy. "Can we start today?"

"No you cannot." Kai says firmly her arms still crossed over her chest. "Your punishment for not listening to my warning is that you have to wait a whole day to begin your father's training."

"But Mama?" Kamau tries to plea. "Papa has to train me!"

"I'm afraid I have to agree with your Mama son. What you did was very bad image how scared your oji-san, oba-san and I were when we came into your room and found you fighting three big ogres!" Jack says scolding his son a bit.

"But they were just toys!" Kamau tries to argue.

"You knew they were toys, Mama knew they were toys. But I and your sofubo didn't know they were toys and we were very scared that you could have been hurt." Jack explained to him.

"I'm sorry Papa." Kamau tells his father.

"I forgive you little warrior. Now why don't you go apologize to your Mama and sofubo as well because you scared them?" Jack tells his son.

"Ok." Kamau says calmly getting up from his father's lap and going to go apologize.

My goodness I always knew fatherhood wouldn't be easy but a son that has the power to magical create monsters to fight from his toys. He is so young and he is already powerful enough to do this I can only image the trouble to come in the future.

After the rocky start to the morning the rest the day so far was a bit more calm and now it was time for another council meeting discussing the attack on Aku. So far Bruce, Jack, Kai, Shawn and Hideaki were inside the council room waiting for the rest of the council to show up.

"It really is grand to have you back my friend!" Bruce says happily. "Between you and me fighting we are really gonna give Aku quite a battle!"

"I will be glad to have you with me when that evil demon is finally gone." Jack tells his friend.

"Jacob if you just listen to me you will realize that girl is not right for you." Mrs. Cortez's voice could be heard from outside.

"Mother please, I know who is right for me ok! Kai and I are friends just friends anything more has already been ruined by you!" Jacob yells entering the room.

"Just give me on good reason why you should-" Mrs. Cortez says entering the room only to see in embarrassment everyone else waiting including Jack.

"Mrs. Cortez how nice to see you are the same." Jack says plainly.

"Prince Hiroto Jack! I-I had no idea that you returned." Mrs. Cortez says nervously.

"That's King Hiroto Jack or just King Jack if you want to keep it short lady!" Bruce yells out he was happy to see the embarrassed look on her face having been annoyed with her trying to set up her son with his friend's wife.

"Of course." Mrs. Cortez says through gritted teeth.

Aside from how tense Mrs. Cortez was at the meeting everything went pretty well and later in the afternoon Jack and Bruce decided to head to the garden to see how the boys were doing.

"It is just wonderful that our sons can get along so well." Jack said pleasantly.

"Aye, like two peas in a pod those little laddies!" Bruce exclaims. All seemed well until the two father's got to the garden to see their boys yelling and fighting over something.

"Take it back!" Kamau yelled at Scotty his face red with anger.

"Never because it's true!" Scotty yelled back at his friend.

"What's going on here?" Jack asked as he and Bruce walked over to the boys.

"Papa, Scotty says his Da is the greatest warrior ever but everyone knows that you are the greatest ever!" Kamau whined to his father.

"No, my Da is the greatest you're jealous cause you and your Da are nothing but dress wearing ninnies!" Scotty yells back his face also getting red with anger.

"You and your Da wear skirts!" Kamau argued.

"It's a kilt!" Scotty yells in the two boys move to attack each other only to be stopped by their father's.

"Whoa son take it easy there is no reason for you two fight!" Bruce says holding him back.

"That's right son especially over something so silly." Jack agrees with a laugh.

"Right completely silly!" Bruce says laughing loudly himself. "I mean everyone knows that I'm the better warrior!"

"Right and-" Jack at first began with a laugh himself only when he realized what his friend had said. "Excuse me? You think you are the better warrior?" Jack says giving him a strange look.

"Of course remember I'm infamous wanted in several different countries, wanted posters of my image everywhere!" Bruce argues.

"Right those invisible wanted posters that neither Kai nor myself ever saw how could I forget that." Jack says sarcastically. "Guess we missed them since we had to deal with all of our own wanted posters including the ones that said I was the most dangerous man on the planet!"

"Yeah!" Kamau says sticking his tongue out at his friend.

"Says the man that lost his brain and made a complete fool of himself and fainted at everything!" Bruce yelled getting in Jack's face.

"Aye!" Scotty says smugly to his friend.

"Also says the man that let his wife get kidnapped and needed my help or he would have just stood around crying!" Jack yells back at Bruce. At this point in time the two pairs of fathers and sons stood across from each other glaring at the other.

"You know what we are going prove who is better once and for all!" Bruce yells out.

"Fine we will decide through contest." Jack informs Bruce.

"Well what did you have in mind?" Bruce questions in confusion.

Jack takes a moment to come up with something when he sees to small stones an idea hits him. "The man who throws his stones the farthest wins." Jack says handing Bruce his stone.

"Fine!" Bruce exclaimed than using all his strength to throw his stone very far across the large garden. "Ha ha beat that."

"Alright Da, there is no way he could throw it better than you! You're the best in the clan." Scotty says happily.

Jack just calmly tosses his stone making it land much further than Bruce's stone.

"Yea Papa!" Kamau cheered jumping up and down.

"Alright best two out of three." Bruce says clearly upset with the results. "Let's test your speed! First man to run out of this garden circle the palace and make it back here wins! On the count of three, ready THREE!" Bruce taking a lead runs out of the garden right away and laughing all the way.

"That's cheating!" Kamau yells upset.

"No it's not Da is just using his brain he said three!" Scotty yelled back.

Jack just quietly runs after Bruce and it isn't long before he catches up to the panting Scotsman so he passed him circled the palace and made it back to the garden first by the time Bruce made it back to the garden he looked worn out.

"Yea Papa!" Kamau cheered again.

"He cheated!" Scotty yells.

"No your Da tried to cheat and lost!" Kamau says sticking his tongue out at his friend again.

"I got another one for you." Bruce begins to say in a worn out voice looking around he sees a very tall tree in the garden with a very high branch. "That branch." The two jump up to try to make it to the branch but only Jack succeeds.

"Jump good." Jack says plainly much to his son's joy and his friend's annoyance.

Next the two moved on to a target holding some sharp sticks, Bruce and Scotty were proud when his stick hit the target's bullseye only to be disappoint when Jack's stick crushes the previous stick to hit the bullseye. What follows soon after was a series of other contest including a game of tic tac toe all of which Jack won.

"My Papa is better! My Papa is better!" Kamau sang jumping up and down much to Jack's amusement and Bruce & Scotty's displeasure.

"Alright!" Bruce yelled having had enough. "Give me your hand laddie." Bruce orders holding out his hand to Jack which he took. "We'll wrestle for the win." Bruce says seriously much to Jack's shock. "Thumb wrestle." By the smirk on Jack's face it looked like he agreed and the final showdown began.

All was still for a moment as the two waited for the other to make the first move thumbs began to move back and forth they moved their thumbs it got so intense that they even started sweating at one point Bruce had gotten his thumb above Jack's and had counted up to the number two when Jack surprise everyone by making a comeback for the win. "One, two, three." Jack says triumphantly.

"Yes!" Kamau squeals happily.

"No!" Scotty cries and having gotten feed up pushes Kamau to the ground in anger. Kamau now getting upset as well stands up and pushes him down soon the two began to wrestle with each other on the ground.

"Hey why don't you control your kid?!" Bruce yells to Jack.

"My child isn't the one who pushed first!" Jack yells back.

"I bet your boy is the reason this whole mess even started in the first place." Bruce yells throwing his hands up.

"It was probably your bully of a son causing this whole thing!" Jack argues back.

And that is how it went for a good while before Kai, Hideaki and Chika stepped into the garden to see two little boys wrestling with each other and their fathers in some kind of heated debate.

"What is going on here?!" Kai yells causing everyone to stop what they were doing. "Well?" Kai adds when no one moved to answer her.

"It's all Scotty's fault Mama he started it!" Kamau says pointing at Scotty.

"I did not you ninny Mama's boy! It's your fault." Scotty yells,

"Your fault!" Kamau says.

"Your fault!" Scotty yells back.

"Enough!" Kai says forcefully she knew where this was going from experience with them in the past and even their own fathers. "Jack tell me what happened here?" Kai ordered her husband to answer as she glared at him, Bruce was more than happy that her anger was towards Jack.

"Well after the meeting Bruce and I went to check on the boys and we heard them fighting." Jack begins to answer nervously.

"What were they fighting about?" Kai asked calmly although Jack knew it wouldn't last very long.

"Well they were fighting about who was the better warrior myself or Bruce." Jack stammers out.

"And you being the ADULT told them it was silly to fight over this and to FORGET about it right?" Kai asked calmly though she knew what the answer would be.

"Well at first yes but then-" Jack began to nervously explain.

"But then Uncle Bruce said he was the best warrior ever since he has wanted posters and stuff." Kamau adds in.

"Then Uncle Jack was like you didn't have any wanted posters cause Aunt Kai and I never saw it!" Scotty added in.

"Really?" Kai says now glaring at the two darkly.

"Yes! Then Uncle Bruce said that they were gonna prove who was best once and for all." Kamau explained neither boy realized the more the two explained the more nervous their fathers became.

"Then Uncle Jack said we should have a contest." Scotty says.

"Then they had a stone throwing contest, a running contest, a jumping contest a-" Kamau continues to say but at this point all his mother could do was glare harshly at the two men. "And then they thumb wrestled and Papa won everything!"

"Well isn't that nice." Kai says sarcastically though the two boys don't catch it. "And then what happened?"

"Well I got mad cause Uncle Jack won so I pushed Kamau." Scotty says in a quiet voice.

"Then I got mad and pushed Scotty and we started fighting with each other." Kamau says quietly as well.

"My, my and what did your fathers do when you two started fighting?" Kai asked the two boys slowly approaching the two nervous men.

"They started yelling at each other!" The boys said at the same time.

"Hmm and all this because you wanted to know who was the best warrior?" Kai says calmly standing in front of the two men now, she turns back to look at the boys again her back now to their fathers. "Well boys I'm afraid you were both wrong because-" Without the two men realizing it Kai had grabbed their arms and toss both men clear across the garden making them hit their heads on the very tree they jumped on. "I'm the greatest warrior boys. Now does that make things all better?!" The boys nodded their heads in a shared agreement.

"Very good, Hideaki and Chika could you please take the boys to the dining room for lunch while I have a word with their fathers?" Kai turned to ask the older couple who had been quiet during the whole exchanged.

"Of course we would be happy to do it." Chika answers calmly.

"Come along now little ones." Hideaki says as he hurries the children out of the garden only stopping briefly to shake his head at his son.

Once the four were gone Kai walked over to her husband and his friend. "What were you two thinking?" Kai asked hands on her hips glaring at the two.

"You know how we are lassie, we fight then we're friends then we fight again!" Bruce says with a laugh.

"It has been that way since we meet." Jack adds in.

"Right and it was childish then and it is even more childish now!" Kai screams. "You two are fathers now those boys look to you to set an example and the kind of example you are setting is not good for them. Scotty is four and Kamau is three they need to see you set better examples not lose your temper over everything!"

"I'm sorry Kai." Jack says now realizing how bad it looked to act in such a way.

"Aw come on lassie it was just a bit of fun!" Bruce tries to argue.

"Well when I EXPLAIN TO YOUR WIFE ABOUT IT let's see if she thinks it was just a bit of fun!" Kai threatens and walks away.

"Wait! Lassie you can't do that she'd have me head!" Bruce yells running after her.

Kai pov

It's now been two months since Jack returned and aside from that stupid contest he and Bruce decided to have in front of the children things have been going well. I swear sometimes Jack and Bruce would end up doing crazy things if I wasn't there to scare some sense into them! Anyway we are one month from the final attack on Aku right now we are waiting for word on where Aku has kept his palace this time so it can be attacked. Jack volunteered to go search for it and now I'm worried not just for Jack but for Kamau as well.

"Jack we have to tell him that you are going! You leave in a few days to go searching for that palace." Kai pleas with her husband once more.

"I know Kai, but he will be so devastated." Jack says with a sigh that was the issue at hand right now, Kamau had spent three years of his life without his father and just when he got him back he was leaving again. "Two months is just not enough time to make up for three years of waiting."

"But it has to be done not just for our sakes but so that the world can have a chance to be safer." Kai says evenly. "We have to tell him!"

"I know." By Jack's tone Kai could tell this might feel like the worse thing he has ever done.

The couple walk over to their son's room and enter of course seeing Kamau playing with his toy wooden sword.

"Kamau, little warrior Mama and Papa have to talk to you." Kai says as calmly as she could entering the room.

"Yes, Mama!" Kamau says cheerfully walking over to them so cheerfully that it pains Jack because he knew that was about to be taken away.

"Kamau, little one you know that one of Papa's jobs is to fight monsters yes?" Jack begins as calmly as possible.

"Yes, Papa you are the best!" Kamau says with a big smile on his face.

"Well, Kamau, Papa is going to have to leave soon to fight monsters again." Jack said carefully hoping it would make it easier for his son to understand but from the look of the boy's face it clearly didn't work.

"No!" Kamau shouted in disbelief shaking his little head. "Papa don't go." Kamau hadn't started crying yet but he was shaking quite a bit.

"Kamau I know this is hard now but….soon your Papa will be back before you know it and everything will be ok." Kai tries to reassure her son.

"That's right little one it will only be for a little while and-" Jack begins to add in.

"No, no no it's not fair!" Kamau starts full on crying now. "I just got my Papa I don't want him to leave me!" Kamau yells as tears fall down his cheeks.

"Oh, little warrior I know this is hard but I have to go." Jack says moving to embrace his son and wipe away the tears but to his surprise Kamau pushes him away and runs out of the room. Jack thought he felt bad when he was first separated from his family but this might be worse. Kamau had never ran away from his father since he got there unless it was a game.

"Jack, he will be ok. I know how he feels it's hard to see your parents leaving you." Kai says trying to make her husband feel better. "Right now he's afraid that you might not come back."

"But it is possible Kai!" Jack says turning to look at his wife. "Your own parents left and never came back, Kamau may be young but he is not unwise the minute he met my parents but has never seen yours is not going to be lost to him."

"I know Jack but what can we do?!" Kai argues with him. "The world needs us to save it together and yes it's not fair to Kamau but as long as Aku lives it will never be fair to anyone including him!"

"Kai, I think-" Jack begins to say but pauses. "I think you should sit the final battle out." Jack is finally able to tell her. "If something goes wrong-"

"Then what Jack?" Kai begins to say becoming angry with him. "If something goes wrong then we both have to fight him alone separately or better yet if something goes wrong we'll just past the burden onto our son and any other children we have?"

"Kai, please I could- if I ended up dead Kamau will need you! I don't want what happened to me to happen to him." Jack argues back. "I know my parents were only doing what was best but I'd rather Kamau only have to miss one parent in his young life not two."

"I'm only going to say this once Jack! You are not fighting Aku alone, we are going to defeat him together and we will come home together and be with our family! That is end of this conversation." Kai yells and walks out of the room.

A few days later it was time for Jack to go and things were tense between himself and his wife and their son. Kamau refused to speak to either parent within the past few days. But today was the day that Jack would be leaving and so Kai was trying to talk her son into going to say goodbye.

"Come on Kamau I know that you are upset but it is not just your Papa leaving, Uncle Bruce and Uncle Shawn are leaving as well you can at least say goodbye to them." Kai tries to reason with her son, but he pays her no mind and just continues to ignore her. "Alright little one whether you like it or not we are going to see them off!" Kai having had enough picks her son up and walks toward the entrance door were the leaving party would be despite her protesting son.

"Well it looks like Kai managed to convince him to come after all." Shawn says as he sees his sister and nephew approaching them.

"Really?!" Jack asked hopeful until he saw how much Kamau was trying to get out of his mother's hold.

"Never mine then." Shawn says now noticing how his nephew was behaving as well. "Hey little warrior come to see us off." Shawn says playfully trying to cheer the boy up, though Kamau just turned his head and pouted. "I see you've decided to life up to your name as the quiet warrior."

"That he does." Jack said sadly seeing his son not want to look at him was truly very painful.

"Don't worry son, I will speak with him." Hideaki says from behind Jack putting a hand on his shoulder it also pained him to see his grandson this upset and he couldn't help but wonder if his son had felt this betrayed when he was sent away.

"Thank you father, I can only hope that you are able to reach him." Jack says with a sigh and walks toward his wife and son. "Kamau little on I'm going to miss you." Jack says hoping to get a reaction.

"Kamau your Papa is speaking to you." Kai tells he son but he continues to pout. "I'm sorry Jack, hopefully it will be better once you return home." Kai says giving a sigh of her own.

"It is alright Kai." Jack says although they both knew he didn't really mean it. "I am going to miss you deeply my tsuki." Jack says pulling her into a brief kiss. "Look out for your mother little one." Jack says after pulling away from the kiss and gently stroking the top of his son's head.

"Be safe." Kai says trying not to tear up. "And try not to lose your brain again."

"I'll keep that in mind." Jack says as he hugs her close. "Goodbye my love, goodbye my little warrior." And with that Jack walks away and the three men begin to head out.

"Whatever you do Jack, don't look back." Bruce whispered to him as they walk down the stairs.

"Why?" Jack questioned his friend.

"Trust me on this." Bruce whispered again.

From his place on his mother's shoulder Kamau was feeling horrible and he couldn't hold in his pain any longer. "Papa come back!" Kamau cries startling everyone so much so that Kai loses her hold on him and he escapes her embrace and starts running as fast as his little legs could carry him to the entrance. "Papa no come back!" Kamau calls from in front of the door his father and his friends were still on the stairs so they could hear his cries. "Papa please come back!" Kamau almost moves to run down the stairs but his mother caught up to him and stopped him from going. "Papa, PAPA!" Kamau cries as his mother holds onto him stopping him from going.

And from the stairs a tear rolls down Jack's cheek as now he finally understood why Bruce told him not to look back. "Papa!"

Hideaki pov

I've had to deal with many things since that vile demon Aku appeared on my land all those years ago some were good, some were bad. But I always believed that things happen for a reason, yes while Aku appeared again and I had to send my only son away to train but he came back stronger. Yes Aku had tricked my son and sent him into the future but he had met the woman he was going to love, marry, and bare his children. Yes that woman sent him back even though he didn't want her to and was heartbroken for four long years, but because of that he had the strength to free the land and was even given an opportunity to return to her and his child with his parents. This new time and land may be at times be frightening but I wouldn't have it any other way if it meant my son would be happy and getting to see my grandson. Speaking of which it pains me so deeply to see him cry like this.

"Papa!" Kamau continues to cry his little heart out as his mother tried to comfort him.

"Kamau it will be ok Papa will come back." Kai tells her son gently rubbing his back trying to calm him down.

"Let me take him Kai." Hideaki tells his yome, he already knew that Kai was just as upset as her son seeing as how she never was apart from Hiroto if she could help it.

"Are you sure?" Kai asked Hideaki she didn't want to leave her father in law with a crying child.

"I am sure." Hideaki reassures her. "I think that if I speak with him alone I can get Kamau to calm down." Hideaki says taking the crying child out of her hands and walking away.

Hideaki while carrying Kamau decided to walk towards the garden since it was one of his grandson's favorite places and some fresh air might do him some good. Finding a spot under a tree Hideaki sat down with his grandchild on his lap.

"There, there little one it will be alright." Hideaki says calming down his grandson a little bit. "You know little one when your father was only just a little older than yourself he had to leave me as well." Hideaki begins to explain.

"Why oji-san?" Kamau weakly asked.

"Because little one Aku had appeared once again." Hideaki explains with a sigh. "You see little one the first time Aku appeared your father hadn't been born yet but he would have been on his way very soon. When Aku attacked I had to leave your oba-san behind to go fight him and though I won I knew he would return. So I came up with a plan that would allow your father to train all over the world so that he could one day defeat Aku, soon day that day came and I had to send your father away."

"Where you sad when Papa left?" Kamau curiously asked.

"Very sad but I knew it was the right thing to do, and I also knew that no matter what your father would return to his family. You see little one there is nothing more important to your father than his family no matter how long it takes your father will return." Hideaki finished explaining.

"Thank you oji-san." Kamau says happily hugging his grandfather.

"You are welcome little one." Hideaki says hugging the small boy back. "How about I continue to teach you how to fight monsters, it may have been a while since I've done it myself but I am sure I could teach you a few things." Hideaki tells the boy.

"Ok oji-san." Kamau says excitedly.

It may be that I would never fully understand this land but as long as I can have these moments with my family it will always be worth it.

Jack pov

It had taken three weeks to finally find Aku's palace, as hard as it was just trying to keep track of rumor after rumor the hardest part was of course keeping Bruce from doing crazy things. It was decided we should keep the knowledge of my reappears a secret until the time was right but Bruce nearly blow our cover one too many times. Shawn was a good help with him but Bruce feared Kai and without her here it was difficult to keep him from bombing places. Kai how I missed traveling with just her so much so that every story around our campfires were about her much to the annoyance of my new companions. But as I was saying we finally found Aku's palace and now it was time to return home. I do have a surprise for my son though I just hope his mother will not be upset with the gift but Lulu is such a sweet thing.

Jack had been walking towards the family's wing a little dog in hand that was barking. "Shhh, Lulu you must stay quiet a little while longer you are kind of a surprise." Jack whispers to the dog and for some reason the dog choose to listen.

"Are you sure that this will be a good idea Jack?" Shawn asked the man as they were walking to their rooms he was not sure if his three year old nephew was old enough for a pet.

"I'm sure it will be fine Shawn, Kamau will love her and-" Jack pauses just outside Misty's room where he is sure he heard two voices. "Who is in the room with Misty?"

"Sounds like it is Ash." Shawn says with a shrug.

"And who is this Ash?" Jack asked his brother in law forcefully.

"That would be her boyfriend." Shawn answers plainly.

"Boyfriend?!" Jack says angrily. "No, no she is too young to have a boyfriend and especially one hanging around her room this late into the night!"

"This late into the night?! Jack it is 7:30pm!" Shawn says shaking his head. "Besides Ash is a perfectly nice boy, I'll admit a bit goofy at times but harmless, plus those two have known each other since they were ten!"

"So just because they've known each other for a long time everyone is ok with them being in a room alone together doing who even knows what?!" Jack says tensely.

"Like I said Jack they've known each other for a long time, everyone knew they were going to be together before they even knew it ok. Ash is not someone to worry about unlike how you were!" Shawn says pointing a finger at Jack.

"Me?!" Jack says looking shocked.

"Yes, you! Kai only knew you for two days before you got together, I bet that it was only a little more than a week before you slept with my older sister….Wait a minute Kai married a bad boy!" Shawn says in shock and then starts to laugh.

"Bad boy? How am I this 'bad boy'?" Jack questions in confusion.

"It all makes sense why you are so over protective of Misty, you don't want her to end up dating the type of man you are! Which if one thinks about is a bad boy, first being that Kai met you at a bar. Second you get jealous easily if you think someone else is interested in her. You didn't even wait a month before taking her to bed, you were always bringing her into more and more dangerous places you even choose to become a gangster once!" Shawn finishes explaining shaking his head.

"Hey! First Kai choose to go into that bar herself and I even asked her if she was sure about being my partner before it was decided. And as for those gangster it was a plan to attack Aku by surprise for once instead of waiting for him to make an attack first." Jack argued.

"And you taking her to bed what's that all about." Shawn asked sarcastically.

"We….we were pressed for time I could have found a way home at any day so we decided to spend as much time enjoying each other as we could." Jack explains his face red and stuttering. "You know what I need to go show Kamau his new pet." Jack says quickly walking towards his son's room.

"Whatever you say Jack, whatever you say." Shawn whispers shaking his head.

As Jack walked towards his son's room he couldn't help but recall how he came into possession of the small pug dog. It had all started when himself, Bruce and Shawn were waiting out the rain in an old robot factory when this old fashion robot came in to no doubt hunt Bruce and Shawn down seeing as how Aku would have thought that Jack was still gone. Once the robot was defeated though Jack for some reason felt badly for it he heard it say take care of Lulu before it shut down completely. Once the three went outside they had found the robot's car which had a picture of the pug dog written on the back was Lulu. Jack decided than to get the dog and do what the robot had asked luckily this dog took to him well and he decide to give Lulu to his son because she was a sweet thing. Upon reaching his son's room he found that the boy wasn't there so he moved to the room he shared with his wife.

"Papa!" Kamau squealed happily having heard the door open and see his father enter the room. Before he had been staying with his mother watching TV while his mother was in the bathroom. "You came back!" Kamau says jumping up and down on the bed.

"Of course I did Kamau I promised I would!" Jack said walking over to his son. "And I got a surprise for you!" Jack than shows his son the small pug dog.

"Doggy!" Kamau squealed taking the happy barking dog in his hands. "Doggy, doggy!"

"Her name is Lulu, she needs someone to take care of her now can you do that?" Jack asked his son, he was so happy to see him smiling again.

"Yes, Papa!" Kamau says as Lulu licked his cheek causing him to laugh. "That tickles Lulu!"

"What's going on?" Kai asked now coming out of the bathroom.

"Papa is back Mama and he got me a doggy!" Kamau says excitedly.

"Jack! Kamau is only three years old I don't think he is old enough just yet to have a dog." Kai says in shock.

"Come on Kai he will be fine and look how happy our son is!" Jack said pointing to the still giggling boy as he continues to play with his new dog.

"I suppose we can give it sometime before we decide to keep the dog or not." Kai says but Jack could tell from the way she looked at their happy son that there was no way she would take this joy away from him.

"Kamau why don't you show Lulu your room for a while." Jack told his son, he needed to get the boy out of the room so that he could discuss things with his wife.

"Sure Papa! Come on Lulu." Kamau says running out the room happily the pug dog chasing after him.

Once Kamau and Lulu were gone Jack then decided to tell his wife what he had found out on his travels.

"Aku has become even worse since I've been gone, between me returning to the past and you staying at home to take care of Kamau he has become even more overbearing to the people. He wanted to wipe out all the hope that our presences had given them even some of his followers want him gone now." Jack explained.

"Well then that is even more reason to finally put an end to him if even his own followers cannot bare him any longer." Kai says with a sigh.

"Yes it was so difficult seeing so many people lose hope." Jack says thinking back sadly. "You know I knew in some way that a few people looked to us for hope but I never realized how many people would be affected by us not being around."

"I know what you mean there were days that I couldn't sleep because I worried." Kai says sadly shaking her head.

"Soon it can be over and that monster will be gone once and for all." Jack says with determination.

Normal pov

And so the week pasted and it was time for our heroes to make the final stand against Aku. It is just a little before dawn once the sun was up the battle would begin.

"Are you worried?" Kai whispered to Jack as they stood in front of the palace.

"Yes, but it has to be done." Jack said earlier that day Jack had to leave a crying son behind again this time both parents were leaving and he vowed that this would be the last time a child has to cry because of Aku.

The plan was fairly simple since Shawn had gone with Jack and Bruce he placed a spell that not only kept the palace from being suddenly moved but since Aku was tied to the palace it would keep him there as well. No amount of shapeshifting would allow Aku for an escape this time Kai's plan had made sure of that much. First their army would storm the palace and take out the guards then the second fleet which was being led by Bruce would take out the more difficult monsters and bounty hunters leaving the couple to only have to worry about fighting Aku.

Soon the sun was high in the sky when the army charged the palace much to Aku's surprise that very morning.

"What is the meaning of this foolishness?!" Aku wondered in surprise.

"Lord Aku, we appear to be under attack!" One of his guards tells him.

"Attack?! Ha ha." Aku says with an evil laugh. "Fools without Jack and his sword there is no way that they could win. Even if Kai and her Bo staff are there it still would not be possible!"

"But Lord Aku?" The guard nervously begins to say.

"Spit it out!" Aku yelled in his lord booming voice.

"'Well you see-" The guard tries again.

"I bet he is trying to tell Aku that both of us are here!" Kai states sarcastically as she and Jack enter the room. "Or maybe that his breakfast is going to be twenty minutes late!"

"What would an evil demon possible eat?" Jack turns to ask Kai.

"I don't know." Kai answered with a shrug. "Hey Aku, since this is the day you finally die just answer us one last thing what do you eat for breakfast?"

"If you think I will let you defeat me than you are wrong!" Aku yells and then starts attacking the two warriors.

"Guess we won't find out that answer Kai." Jack states dodging a punch thrown by Aku.

"Oh well." Kai says also dodging Aku's swings.

The two started taking the fight more seriously punches and kicks were thrown by everyone and every time Jack or Kai got close enough to use the sword or Bo staff they took it. Soon it became clear to Aku that he wouldn't win this battle.

"While this battle has been most impressive I'm afraid I have to-" Aku begins to try to shapeshift but it doesn't work. "What?!"

"Sorry Aku." Jack says plainly.

"But no shapeshifting today I'm afraid. Did you really think that we would believe that you wouldn't try to escape again?" Kai says and with that the two moved quickly and attacked Aku with their weapons one final time.

"Nooooo." Aku screeched as in pain as he disappeared once again for what he knew would be the final time.

"Farewell demon." Jack says plainly and the two walk out of the room.

Once the two warriors had made it outside they saw that their army and friends were waiting for them.

"Is it over is he gone?" Shawn asked running up to them.

"He is gone Shawn we saw to that." Jack stated in a pleased voice, now maybe he could live the rest of his days in peace with his wife and child.

"Grand!" Bruce says running up to bear hug the two.

"Bruce you need to let me go you might squeeze the baby!" Kai says tensely.

"Baby? Kai you're?" Jack asked turning to look at his wife once his friend had let them go.

"Yes!" Kai answered with a nod of her head.

"And you went to fight Aku anyway! You could have harmed yourself and the baby and-" Jack begins to rant only to be cut off by Kai pulling him into a deep kiss.

"Jack please, I wouldn't be me if I didn't fight anyway!" Kai says when they break the kiss in time to see the palace blow up. "Bruce?!"

"And I wouldn't be me lassie if I didn't use me bomb!" Bruce says joyfully.

"Let's just go home." Jack says with a sigh shaking his head. This journey had been crazy but now there could be a new peaceful day.

Epilogue Jack pov

It had now been seventeen years since the final battle with Aku and for the most part things were still at peace. It was a joyous time for myself when Kai had given birth to twin girls not so much for my tsuki she screamed a lot, the first born girl we named Ayo and the second we named Etsuko each name of course meaning joy in some way. Ayo and Etsuko Sole you would never find a pair of twins so different and so the same all at once. They would have been completely identical if it wasn't for the fact that Ayo had my color eyes and Etsuko had their mother's other than that same black hair, and same skin tone as their older brother. Those two could be a handful especially once they figured out how to use their magic to change their eye color when they were three years old, then they started switching places confusing everyone but their mother lucky aura reader! Now that they are sixteen though my biggest worry has moved from switching places to boys, and how can I not worry my girls are just as beautiful as their mother! Though I've managed to scare some boys away (seeing as how I defeated Aku and stayed in shape even as I got older.) Kai is sure that one day the girls will met men willing to fight me to be with them. I can only hope that day is a very long time from now. Our youngest was a son we named Tamotsu Lune born on a full moon just like his mother he looks so much like me only with a few differences one being skin tone and his hair being more dominantly red unlike his older siblings. But any ways now that our oldest Kamau was twenty years old and was done training it was time for him to go on his own adventures for a while.

"Jack are you still mediating here? You know that Kamau leaving!" Kai says to her husband entering the room.

"Kai, believe me I wouldn't miss this for the world." Jack states standing up to walk towards his wife, she was still so beautiful even after all these years. "I only wished the children's sofuba would have lived long enough to see this moment."

"But they did live a good long time with us and even got to meet all of their grandchildren." Kai tells her husband. It was true his parents were lucky enough not to have passed on to the next life until Tamotsu was about ten.

"I guess that is also very true." Jack states calmly. The two made it to the front entrance where the rest of their family was waiting.

"Oh, I can't believe me baby boy is leaving me!" Bruce whaled from next to his wife crying his eyes out.

"There. There dear he will be alright." His wife tells him trying to calm down her husband.

"Me buddy!" Bruce says seeing his friend approach them. "Why don't you and I go with our boys it will be just like old times?!"

"There are only two things wrong with that Bruce, one we already still go out on our own from time to time." Jack begins to explain which was true just because Aku was gone didn't mean there wasn't anything left to do after all there can't be good without evil and there was plenty of new evil trying to be the next Aku. "And secondly we still have children to raise." Jack states pointing at the young children.

"Oh right them." Bruce says plainly now seeing all of his daughters glaring at him.

Jack walked over to his son who was speaking with his siblings before he left.

"How are you feeling Kamau?" Jack asked smiling at his oldest son just as everyone thought he had grown up to look a lot like his father.

"Nervous, excited….everything." Kamau explained a bit nervously. "It's weird that we are doing this for me it seemed like yesterday we were doing this for you."

"Maybe it feels like just yesterday because it we did this two weeks ago." Ayo says sarcastically.

"Not even in his first battle and already has brain damage….oh wait he was already like that!" Etsuko says causing both sisters to laugh at him.

"Girls be nice to your brother." Kai says forcefully approaching the twins. "And don't think I've forgotten about that trick you pulled on your teacher!"

"Yes, Mama." The girls said together.

"Why do we have to wait so long to leave the Soleil Lunas, I want to go now!" Tamotsu pouted arms crossed in anger.

"Because if I have to wait twenty years than everyone has to wait twenty years! Perks of being the heir." Kamau says smirking down at his younger brother.

"It's not fair!" Tamotsu yelled stomping his feet.

"Kamau don't do that to your brother! You know he is going to miss you." Kai scolded her son.

"Yes, Mama." Kamau says turning around and rolling his eyes.

"Don't roll your eyes at your mother Kamau!" Jack scolded his oldest.

"How did you know?" Kamau ask in surprise.

"Because….you just told me." Jack stated plainly.

"Come on you ninny time to go!" Scotty yells he had grown up to be just like his father as well and neither Kai nor Jack could figure out if that was a good or bad thing.

"Goodbye Kamau have a safe trip." Jack says pulling his son into a hug one last time before he left. "Do yourself a favor don't look back." Kamau gave his father a confused look but before he could question it his friend yelled for them to get going again so he rushed out the door waving goodbye as he went.

"You think he will be ok?" Kai asked her husband as she couldn't help but to tear up.

"He will be find my tsuki after all he was trained very well and even picked a good weapon." Jack says kissing her cheek then turning to watch the boys leave.

Kamau was just getting to the bottom of the staircase when he couldn't help but to turn around he saw his whole family crying and he couldn't help his own tears that fell now.

"I guess that was what Papa meant." Kamau whispers quietly.

THE END.

Omg what a journey this has been I'm almost crying right now I want to thank everyone who favorited, reviewed or just plain viewed this story. Next year Samurai Jack really comes back until then I hope this story is enough for some people. Note I might do a one shot based kind of on an episode later on. And I might add another chapter but it would more or least be a character and story break down. Will I write a squeal no but I might do a series of one shots following Jack and his family.
