"Tch. Parents are too troublesome for their own good. Didn't they realize that by separating them, they were just making her miserable?"

"Parents seldom see things the way we do. They see a potential threat to the ones they love, and they make a choice to protect them. Even if it's not the choice their loved ones wanted them to make. They believe that seeing their loved ones unhappy is better then seeing their loved ones dead."

"…I've never seen it that way before. You have a very interesting view on life."

"I'm not sure if I should, but I'm going to take that as a compliment."

"Good. It was meant that way."

"Enough flirting, you two. Could we get back to the story? I want to know what happens next."

"Alright Kiba, although I would appreciate you keeping your opinions to yourself, I will continue the story. Well, around the time that Kazeko got pregnant, Adren paid a visit to her. In his son's shape. He was unable to bear the thought of never being able to touch her, and had decided to trick her for a single night. And, that's what he did. After she was sent away, Adren admitted that he had slept with Kazeko to Arashi."

"Oh man…that is on dysfunctional family. How did Arashi react to the fact that his dad had fu- oww…?"

"Please keep your crudeness to yourself; I'd rather not learn any of that portion of your limited vocabulary."

"I'll show you limited vocabulary, Shino. Just you wait, and I'll discredit your statement. So, ha!"

"Oh dear, someone loaned the mutt a dictionary. What's next, Sasuke in a geisha outfit?"

"Watch it, Shino."

"Yeah, yeah, I hear you. Sorry, that was a little over the top."

"As long as we understand each other."

"Alright, settle down boys. Let's let Cyra finish her story, and no more interruptions unless you're given permission. Got it?"

"Yes, sensei…"

"Now about that almost asked question, Kiba. I guess I forgot to mention this, but Arashi didn't know Adren was his father. All he knew was that our group wasn't human, and was working for him in return for letting us stay. He only knew our Hunter names, and never even saw what some of us looked like."

"Well that doesn't mean that he wasn't going to be angry with the guy."

"Kiba! What did I say about interruptions?"

"Not to… would you please continue your story Cyra? I'll try to be quiet from now on…"

"Oh, don't bother. I like answering all your guys' questions. It lets me know that you are listening and taking this seriously."

"Really? That's actually a relief. I don't know how long I can keep my mouth shut."

"Don't worry. Now, what you said before is true, Arashi was angry. The problem was he knew he had no chance of winning in a fight against Adren. All he could do was reprimand him and set up a restraining order. Then he took himself down to the closest bar in disguise and get drunker that he ever had before. Drunk enough so that when a woman who had come in earlier propositioned him, he accepted. And, just like that, there was another betrayal and another baby. Unfortunately for Arashi, he had been recognized. Kazeko's family had put a spy on his tail, to try to catch him in some kind of immoral act. And catch him this spy did, for Arashi was too drunk and angry to notice his watcher."

"Tch. So your saying that one of the greatest hero's on our history was actually human, even if he did have angelic blood?"

"Well, yes, I guess I could say that…but what do you mean?"

"whenever someone is proclaimed a village hero, it seems that everyone immediately starts to believe that the hero is some sort of god."

"Ah. Well, I'm happy to say that yes, Arashi was only mortal. Unfortunately for him, his divine blood did not prevent him from making foolish mistakes. That night proved to be the most devastating of all to him. Two days after his drunken binge, he received a package in the mail, containing only one thing."

"What was it? Why did you stop talking? You are so troublesome, Cyra…"

"Sorry, but my throat is a bit dry after all this talking. Do any of you have any wayer?"

"Oh, that's easy. I brought lunch too. I didn't know how many people would be joining us, so I packed a whole bunch!"

"How did you even know we would be joining you? And where the hell did that picnic basket come from?"

"Oh, one of the jonins has been teaching me some of the minor sealing techniques. I figured some one was going to get curious enough about Naruto's new attitude to come over during lunch. I just planned ahead. I didn't bring any water though, I brought something better. Lemonade!"

"Can dogs drink lemonade, Kiba?"

"Yeah, why? I din't bring Akamaru with me."

"Well apparently he followed you. Were you so into my story that you didn't notice him sitting under that tree over there?"

"Wher-that's not Akamaru! That's a wolf!"

"Oh dear, perhaps I should explain. And release the illusion I put on all you guys."

AN: Let's see how long this will tide you over…
