"Ogiwara-kun…"

The name seemed slip from Kuroko lips almost unconsciously, apparently recognizing the loud boy with wild orange hair.

"Eh?! Do you know this guy Kuroko?!" Kagami exclaimed pointing an accusing finger at said boy who just blinked up at taller teen from his seat on the bed like he had just realized that he and Kuroko weren't alone in the room, which was very probable.

"He is a old friend who I have not seen in quite some time…" Kuroko answered calmly. before turning to the one he had called Ogiwara. "So then why are you here?"

"You were shot! Of course I would come!" But Kuroko then gave him a look that clearly said that he knew he wasn't saying everything. "Okay fine… I got a call from Kaya-san out of nowhere and then she told me that you had been injured, shot of all things! So I may have panicked a bit and promised to train a new Half Teiko for her if she let me see you." The teen explained sheepishly.

"Ogiwara-kun is too gullible." At that the orange haired looked humorously crushed at Kuroko's blunt words. "But is also very kind. Thank you for coming." And just like that the wide smile was back.

"Of course! But more importantly, how are you feeling? You're healing up okay, right?"

"I am doing much better thanks to Elder Telan and Himuro-san's care." The teal-haired Teiko answered as calmly as ever, giving a small nod to the teen who had been silent during the whole conversation.

"Well that is very generous of you to say Kuroko-kun. But really it was Telan-sensei who healed you, I just assisted him." He responded humbly giving Tetsuya a graceful smile. "But your praises will by no means help to persuade me to lift your bed confinement." Kagami almost missed the brief pout on Tetsuya's lips made at Himuro's words. "And while it is true you are doing very well considering your previous state you should still be resting for a week at the very least. You were shot. And that is not something to be taken lightly." Just to further his point he aimed a finger at the thick layer of bandages under the pale white patient's robe that Tetsuya was currently wearing. But by now Kagami was very confused and at least a little hurt, feeling like he had been deceived by Tatsuya in some way.

"Wait Tatsuya, you helped to heal Kuroko?! And why are you here of all places?!" The dark haired teen just sighed as he realized that his honorary brother was not going to let this go, and for that he couldn't find it in himself to blame Kagami for it.

"Yes I did help some, I have recently been taken as Telan-sensai's apprentice since I seemed to have a strong aptitude for medicine. I am one third Teiko. My mother was a normal human but my father is a Half so I still grew up with him here most of my life. I guess you could say my stay in America was my way of rebellion." Kagami's jaw just dropped in shock at Tatsuya's words, doing his very best to come to terms with the whole situation. "Though all my Teiko blood has really has done for me is slow my aging some and let me heal a little faster then most." Himura continued, choosing to press on anyway. "I was called in by Telan-sensei to help with healing Kuroko-kun. And I have been put in charge of his rest and recovery but I really was not aware of the fact that you were here as well Taiga…"

"Yeah well I only learned that I'm half Teiko yesterday. I thought nothing could surprise me but then I find you here too…" There was a heavy silence in the room until Kuroko chose to speak.

"Kagami-kun you are half Teiko?"

"Eh? You really didn't know?"

"Hai. But it explains much."

"While I am glad you two are getting along so well Kuroko-kun should really resting more." Himuro interrupted them smoothly. "And Elder Saya will probably be wanting to see you Ogiwara-kun. Since I am very sure you came here without doing so in your hurry." He said this while eyeing the other boy pointedly. But Ogiwara just grinned back sheepishly, not even trying to deny the accusation. "Why don't you come along as well Taiga? This would be a good chance for you to see more of the Sanctuary." At first it seemed like Kagami might refuse, but one look at Kuroko's defiantly paler then normal face and he realized how exhausted small wolf Teiko really was, though he was doing his best to hide it. Kagami quickly changed his answer.

"Oh okay then, bye Kuroko. Feel better soon alright?" Kagami said with a wave as he followed Tatsuya and Ogiwara out of the room. Tetsuya just waved back with a small smile as the door closed behind the other boys.

As they walked Kagami took the time look around a bit better. He noticed that the house seemed to be divided almost into different sections. The portion of the house where Kuroko and his room's had been was very Western with it's swinging doors and bay windows but the part of the house where Tatsuya was leading them was getting progressively more traditional Japanese in style, though no less grand. He really hadn't been paying much attention but the room where Kaya-san had shared some of his family's story had looked pretty traditional so he could only guess that where they were headed was more toward the front of the house where that room had been.

"Elder Kaya-san, Ogiwara-kun is here."

"You may enter Tatsuya-kun, Ogiwara-kun and Kagami-sama." And when the paper door was slid open Kagami realized that the room was the exactly that same room from before. But now the comfy chairs from before were gone, a low table and several cushions laid evenly around it replaced them. And seated at the head of the table was Kaya with Telan in the seat immediately to her right.

"Boys, please, do take a seat." She beamed at them getsuring towards the empty spots. They did as she asked, Himuro took the seat next to Telan and Kagami and Ogiwara took the seats right across from them.

'Good. Now that everyone is accounted for and seated we can finally get down to business." And with a bright smile she took out three envelops and handed one to Tatsuya and one to Ogiwara but kept the third to herself. "Go on, open them, they won't bite." She urged them when they hesitated.

"Transfer Papers?" Tatasuya questioned staring down with a very puzzled expression at the papers that had been in his envelope which were indeed transfer papers just as Ogiwara was doing. "To Serin?!" Himuro exclaimed in shock when he finished reading the papers fully.

"Yes! I Have decided that you three will work excellently together! Of course Kuroko-sama will be joining you later, these are his." She waved the third envelope in explanation. "But don't worry, everything has already been arranged. All you need to do is show up for school tomorrow and it'll all be official!" The woman was positively glowing with excitement and was clearly expecting a similar response from them.

Ahem.. Kaya I believe you haven't told them about the situation…." Telan hinted gently. She just giggled before apologizing lightly.

"Oh yes! Of course! I do apologize, I just haven't had such fun making plans is such a long time!" But then her face hardened, her tone turning deadly serious. "Currently there is a group that has been snatching Teiko, full blood or not off at random. Of those who have been taken, some had been returned to their families, but always dead. We know that they call themselves Judgment but we have no clues as to who these people actually are or how they are doing this. The reason I have had Tatsuya and Shigue transferred to Serin because these people, whoever they might be would seem to have chosen to target Kuroko-sama, and by helping him, Kagami-sama as well. I would very much like to have you two," She pointed at Tatsuya first then Ogiwara sharply. "To help get Kagami-sama adjusted to his new abilities and of course to help keep both him and Kuroko-sama safe. We might even get the chance to stop Judgment now that we know their targets. Now, Ogiwara-kun you are a master of spell-work and the martial arts so counting on you to be a good teacher for Kagami-sama. And Himuro-kun I would be very grateful if you would help to catch Kagami-sama up with the customs and need to knows of being a member of the Beast Children, as a half of course since you two are already so well aquatinted. Please do your very best." To no ones surprise Kagami was the first to voice his opinion.

"What?!" Tatsusya soon followed him.

"Elder Kaya-san you can't be serious!" With Ogiwara not far behind.

"But I hardly know them!"

"Well you will all have plenty of time to get to know each other better then!" She responded with a dangerous smile, daring them to refuse her. All three could only sigh in defeat, there was no escape
