"Uhm..." Rei hesitated. "You can let go of my hand now." She had calmed down after running for awhile.
"Oh, right."said Yuki and let go.
"Rei-ojou-sama!" Masaru came running after them. Following him were Jin and Hiyo. Kurou followed Hiyo and the others came after him.
"Yes, Masaru, let's go." she said. The others followed. "What do you think you're doing? This isn't your fight."
"But we can help." said Hiyo with all her optimism.
"Yeah right. This is not your business and a fighter isn't the first word that comes to mind when describing you. Please take her and leave with the rest." said Rei to Kurou. "You can't keep up with us anyway."
"Wait." said Jin. "We're friends right. And my folks are there too, they'd be pissed if I stayed."
Rei sighed. "Well there is no helping it then." She really had a soft spot when it came to Jin.
"H-he's coming with us?" asked Masaru. He was terrified.
"He'll follow us. You're faster than him remember." she patted his head. Suprisingly she smiled like a mother would to her child.
The others started to turn and go back. Rei looked back at them. "Aren't you coming?"
Yuki looked over his shoulder. He seemed shocked and he was. He pointed himself with a question mark on his face.
"Geez, it was a simple question. Don't come if you don't want." she walked towards Jin and Masaru.
"Fine, I'm coming." he went after.
Rei smirked. "Well you better keep up with us." said Masaru with the exact same smirk on his face as he transformed right after Rei and Jin.
When they'd arrived the place was a mayhem. Jin and Yuki were stunned. Yuki looked at Rei. Just as he was reaching for her -before she'd burst into tears- Rei turned to Masaru with the most serious and fiery look anyone had ever seen.
"Masaru go east, help your clan and Jin go west, your parents will be to your north but our western defense is weak in power than usual. You come with me." Rei said in a deep tone.
Yuki nodded. Rei took him to the center of the village where a black tiger, a white tiger and Yuki's mother were fighting. A number of vampires had surrounded them. Rei took out her claws as she dashed towards the ones on her right and instantly took out two before moving on the others.
Yuki, stunned for a moment after watching her fight, quickly got back to his sense and sent a coldfront to the ones on his left.
"Yuki!" exclaimed his mother after he had defeated the ones before her. "What are you doing here?"
"She brought me along." Yuki pointed at Rei who was busy kicking some major vampire butt.
"Rei!" exclaimed the white tiger. "My sweet Rei. You came." he said happily after beating down three vampires with earth attacks.
After defeating the vampires around her Rei looked up to him. Suddenly her face was filled with a stress-free smile. "Father!" she said as she hugged him.
"Do you think you can keep the reunions for later?" said the black tiger who took out the last remaining vampires with a fire attack.
"Konoe-sama!" yelled Rei happily as she gave him a hug aswell.
"Long time no see Yuki. I see you've grown." said Konoe.
Yuki stared at him, trying to figure outt who he was and where did he know him from when Rei came next to him and whispered that he was Shin's father.
"Told you you were very forgettable." laughed Rei's father. "I'm Rei's father. It's nice to finally meet the person who's going to marry my beautiful daughter."
"Stupid dad!" said Rei as she hit his head.
"You stupid old fools." yelled Yuki's mother. "What do you think you're doing here celebrating while there's a flock of vampires attacking your clan!"
"Stop your nagging woman!" yelled Shin's father. "Our people can defend themselves against puny vampires. Unlike crows they're vulnerable to elements."
"Then why don't you just blow them off with one giant attack?" asked Yuki.
"We need atleast one controller of the four elements and we haven't had one since Asaki and Shin." said Rei's father. "Me and my buddy here can control the four element together; me earth and air, him water and fire, but even the both of us can't combine them all at once."
"Why doesn't Rei do the attack?" asked Yuki suddenly and Rei became very jumpy. She covered his mouth.
"What?" said the men confused.
"He doesn't know what he's talking about. You said Shin and Asaki and he immediatly thought of me. That's it."
"Even they don't know?" whispered Yuki.
Rei shook her head. "Only Asaki, Shin and you knew. Can't I even trust you with one simple secret."
"Rei, what is he saying?" asked her father.
"Your secret is currently useless." whispered Yuki and then raised his voice. "She is just like your sons. She can control all four."
"Rei?" the men turned to Rei and she nodded silently. "Why?"
Rei shrugged. "Seemed right at the time. Now if you'll excuse me, since my fiancé has exposed me I have to get rid of some bloodsuckers with my powers."
Rei left in a hurry for some hig grounds. As the acting clan heads looked at eachother in shock, Yuki's mother made a gesture to tell him that he should follow her.
"Your mind has weird way of working, Yukino." said Shin's father. "I hope your son inherited that for Rei's case."
