"Thanks again for the tour, Naruto."
Yín, Akira, and Morgana had just arrived in the city of Mistral in the kingdom of the same namesake. And not even moments later did they come across the blonde fox faunus, who was kind enough to give them a tour of the town, showing them all the local hotspots the place had to offer.
"No problem, it was my pleasure you guys." the faunus said. "So, you guys are travelers?" the three nod.
"Yeah," Yín confirmed, "I've been traveling and training for the past four years, Akira and Morgana joined me in my travels a year ago." the blonde nods.
"Cool. so, you must be pretty strong if you've been training the past four years." to his confusion, Yín began laughing.
"I haven't been training for four years, more like seven actually." the blonde fox's jaw dropped.
Seven years!?" he exclaimed in shock. "Woah, you must be crazy strong!" the three all gave hidden smirks.
'You have no idea.'
"So, Naruto," Yín began, deciding to make small talk, "you live in Mistral?" to their surprise, the blonde shook his head.
"Nah, I come from Vale, but I came here for…reasons." Naruto's eyes shifted slightly, something the three noticed. It made them wonder why he was here in the first place, but didn't pry information about it from him.
The four continued to walk down the streets of the city, passing vendors all around them. But Akira and Yín noticed how some people gave Naruto dirty looks whenever they walked past them.
Sadly, these actions didn't surprise the two. They've seen Faunus discriminated plenty of times at an assortment of places whenever they traveled, and it both disheartened them and sickened them. Despite the fact they have traits of an animal, they felt the same feelings, the same pains in life, just about everything.
However, Yín then began noticing a group of Faunus were following them from far behind, but he wasn't the only one to notice. Akira, Morgana, and surprisingly Naruto all notice they were being tailed, and they all frowned.
"Of all times," Naruto muttered, an aggravated frown on his face. The other three looked at the blonde with confused looks.
"Naruto, you know those guys?" Akira asked, getting a nod from the teen.
"Sadly." the blonde confirmed. "Listen guys-" Yín promptly shushed him.
"Naruto, whatever it is, I'm sure we can help you with it." the silver eyed male said.
"No," Naruto shot down instantly, "this is something I have to do, alone." his tone held no room for argument and the two teens knew not to press further in the matter. Yín then sighed.
"Fine." the teen said, dejectedly. "We have to go anyways, hope to see you soon Naruto." and with that, the two teens and the feline left the blonde's side, while he stood in his spot, watching them go.
Naruto sighed. Those guys were nice, but this was his problem to deal with, not theirs.
-Y-
"We're not leaving him on his own, aren't we?" Akira asked his best friend.
"Not on your life." the silver eyed male said, grinning like an idiot.
Yín and Akira were following Naruto from a distance, making sure to both keep out of his range of sight and range of hearing. Same went for the Faunus that were following him. It wasn't to long before Naruto ducked into an alleyway, the group of Faunus going in soon after he did.
And after a few moments, the three entered the alleyway, effortlessly blending in the shadows.
-Y-
"What do you guys want?" Naruto looked at the group of Faunus with an annoyed expression on his face. Then, a faunus with goat horns on his head and a small beard on his chin stepped forwards.
"We want you to come back to the White Fang, Naruto." he began, "you were one of our best opprotives in ensuring-"
"I'm going to stop you there." the fox said, his eyes narrowing as his voice had hints of anger laced in it. "The reason that I left was because of those heist the White Fang had been doing, something I should have never taken part in."
"But your Sem-"
"My Semblance my be one of the most powerful and useful ones around, yes, but I want it to be used for good, not the wrong the Fang has been doing these past few years."
"What about Adam and Blake?" another one began, this one having a lizard tail extending from their tailbone. "They were your closest allies and partners, yet you left them."
"Yes, they were," Naruto confirmed, "but I wanted no part in all this. Adam wants humans to be beneath us, while I don't know what Blake really wants. But in the end, we're acting like the humans who put us lower than them."
There was a silence amongst them for a few moments.
"To bad you don't see it our way Uzumaki, now we'll have to bring you in…by force." suddenly, the Faunus all around pulled out weapons of every variety, all aimed at the blonde fox. "So, come willingly, or by force?"
Naruto looked around him, his eyes shifting from person to person. However, before anyone could do anything, two figures jumped out from the shadows, weapons drawn, both standing around Naruto.
"How about he leaves here with us." Yín began, his blades pointed.
"And nobody gets hurt." Akira finished, his dual pistols prompt and ready to fire. Upon seeing them, Naruto's eyes widened while the group of Faunus took a step back and gritted their teeth.
"What the hell are you two doing here!?" Yín turned to him, a small smirk on his face.
"We wouldn't abandon a friend," Yín told him, "even despite meeting only a few hours ago, we think of you as a friend Naruto." Akira nodded in agreement.
Naruto was stunned by his words. For years, he's been shunned by people due to his Faunus heritage. His only solace was in the white Fang where he met his two best friends, Adam Taurus and Blake Belladonna. Together with all the other faunus, they fought peacefully for the equal rights they wanted…
Until a few years ago.
Blake's father, Ghira Belladonna, stepped down after his father passed and he had to become one of the heads of their old home, Menagerie. Sure, he was originally from Vale, but his family moved to there, then the White Fang was made, then he went to about every rally he could go to.
But after Ghira's step down, Sienna Khan took over for him, and under her rule did things drastically change. Peaceful protests turned violent as they began staging planned attacks. After a few years of this, Naruto left, not being able to face the change of the organization he felt was really making a difference then.
But now, he met two teens who looked past his Faunus heritage, and looked at him like something he never saw before in human's eyes…
A person.
His eyes softened as he grinned.
"Thank you guys!" the two gave the blonde smiles.
"Thank us later, but right now, we have a job to do." Akira said. The Goat Faunus from before growled.
"Take them down!" the faunus charged the three.
Yín merely dodged their strikes with the utmost ease and began slashing all around him, taking out each and every person that may come his way. Akira was also fairing greatly well against the Faunus, dodging their strikes and bullets with greater ease than Yín, shooting bullets out of his own pistols every now and then himself.
Naruto was also dodging the attacks, smirking all the while, not only avoiding the oncoming attacks, but also dealing out hits of his own. But unlike the other two, he didn't use a weapon, instead, he used his own two fists to battle the other faunus.
In only mere minutes were all the assistants at their feet, many groaning in pain, while others were unconscious. It was then Naruto looked at his two new friends, a serious look on his face.
"We should get out of here," he said, "and fast." The two nodded without question, and in less than seconds, they left the area.
"Man, that was tiring."
The group of four were now in Yín's, Akira's, and Morgana's hotel room, Naruto there with them. The two teens and cat were thankful that the hotel allowed Faunus there, especially with how much they were paying to stay for only a few days.
"You can say that again," Yín said to the blonde fox, before turning to him and giving him a curious look. "So, Naruto, you were a member of the White Fang?" The blonde nodded, somewhat sadly.
"Yeah," he confirmed, "but I left because they strayed from the peaceful ways they once were." the other three nodded.
"I see…" Akira then turned his gaze back onto the blonde. "So, what are you going to do now Naruto?" the blonde faunus looked up in thought.
"Hmm…I'll probably head to Menagerie to visit my parents and little brother," he said, "then who knows what I'll do next."
"Hey, Naruto," Yín began, "would it be alright if we come with you to Menagerie?" He didn't know why, but something told him to ask that question to the fox faunus…like there was something there he wasn't aware of.
Naruto, meanwhile, looked down in thought.
"I don't know Yín, you guys are humans, and faunus there don't take well to humans coming to Menagerie." Akira made eye contact with Yín, and they both nod.
"I may have an idea on how we can blend in there…"
A few days later, the four were on a ship to the island of Menagerie, Naruto looking at the two other teens at his side with deadpanned looks.
"I can't believe I agreed to this…" he muttered. When they said they suggested on wearing disguises, he thought it was going to be something funny like a set of fake animals ears, or a fake tail, but they went overboard!
Sticking out of Yín's tail bone was a prehensile cat tail that sway gently behind him, it being a sleek black color, a patch of white fur at the tip of it. Akira opted for a pair of cat ears on his head, but any time Naruto looked at him, the more times he falls for the fact that Akira really looks like a cat faunus. His wild hair covered the headband that the ears were attached to, and covered his human ears as well.
Yín merely laughed, hearing Naruto's words.
"You thought it would be something cheap me and Akira would wear, didn't you?" the boy asked, getting a sheepish nod from the blonde.
"Yeah, but I'm still surprised you have a literal tail coming from you butt!" the two travelers had to tell Naruto of their Semblances, and least to say the fox was dumbfounded after finding out, especially Yín's.
Yín also learned, in the span of a few days, that he could grow certain limbs of any animal of his choosing, and went with a tail. Of course it was a cat's tail, but he'll take what he can take. Akira was able to make realistic cat ears from fur that he collected from a shedding Morgana, and the cat wasn't upset at the fact it's fur was being used for a disguise.
Yín grinned at Naruto.
"Hey, when I said we would try to blend in, I meant it 100%!" As the two tailed individuals began to bicker, Akira and Morgana both sighed.
"You know what Morgana, if Naruto ends up joining us, I will not be surprised or amused in the slightest." the cat nods.
"Yep."
Hours later, the group was seen looking at the village that inhabited the island, three of them in awe, and one just smiling fondly.
"Hey, Naruto, where's your house?" Morgana asked.
"Is it that one?" Yín began, pointing to a small house off to the side. "Or maybe that one?" he shifted his arm left. "How about that on-" Naruto grabbed his arm before he could point at another place.
"None of those." He then shifted Yín's arm to straight forwards and slightly to the left. "That one is my home."
Right where Yín was pointing was a giant home, standing next to another giant home as well. The one to the right was a dark colored Japanese styled home. The one to the left - and the one Yín was currently pointing at - was an orange colored Japanese styled home.
Yín looked blankly at the home, his mouth slightly ajared, but he wasn't the only one. Akira and Morgan to were in shock at the sight of Naruto's home. Yín pointed to the faunus, then the home, the faunus, then the home, the faunus, then the home.
His hands then moved to the sides of his face on both cheeks before his jaw hung low before reality set in on him, making him realise just how wealthy Naruto was.
"You live there!?" Yín exclaimed in shock. Naruto, who was grinning all the while, could only nod.
"Believe it!" Akira was the first to shake himself of his shock.
"Well, then, we should get going now."
-Z-
Moments later, the group walked up to the door of the home. Naruto went to knock on the door, but stopped a mere inch away, hesitating on what to do next. The others looked at him, worriedly.
"Hey, Naruto, is something wrong?" Yín asked. The blonde sighed.
"It's been three years since I've been back here," the blonde told them. "I don't know what my parents will say when they see me…?" It was then he felt a hand on his shoulder. Naruto turned his head to see Yín giving him a comforting smile.
"Well, whatever may happen, you have us to help you in the end, got that? Naruto nods, grinning. The bonde then knocks on the door. They waited moments before the door opened to reveal a woman.
She had crimson red hair that hung low on her head, reaching to her lower ankles. Her eyes were a striking violet color that showed both power and strength in their depths. She wore a white short sleeved blouse that was underneath a green dress that reached to her mid calves, sandals on her feet. However, her most noticeable feature was red fox tail extending from her tailbone.
When she saw the three she blinked in surprise before her eyes landed on a certain blonde.
Naruto smiled sheepishly as he gave a small wave.
"Urm…hi mom." he greeted, much to the other's shock. She didn't look a day over thirty! The woman herself beamed widely at the sight of her oldest child.
"Naruto!" she then hugged the boy in a tight hug. "Oh we missed you so much since you went off!" Naruto, on the other hand, was turning an unhealthy shade of blue…
"Mom!" he croaked, "c-c-can't b-br-breathe!" the woman let go of her son. However, it was then her eyes twitched as she remembered everything he's done in the past, haven't come home, only calling to say hi, and nothing more, not even a picture!
"Oh Naruto~." Upon hearing his mother's overly sweet tone, Naruto began sweating heavily.
"M-M-Mo-" Suddenly, the red haired woman smacked Naruto so hard he went face first onto the ground, causing the pavement to crack from the sheer impact. Yín, Akira, and Morgana all went deathly white at the sight of the attack and what just happened.
The woman's hair stood up, parted into nine peices, her red fox tail swishing benevolent behinder as a red aura surrounded her, her face displaying the truest of rage as she looked down on her son.
"You brat!" she shouted. "You haven't come home not once in the last three years! We were worried sick about you! Yes you called every few months, but you could have dropped by every now and then! Was that too much to ask for!? Huh!? Was it!?"
Naruto, who had picked himself up and sat on the ground, was shaking in fear at the demon known as his mother. However, before the woman could do anything else, she realized there were people behind her son watching the confrontation…
But one of them looked vaguely…familiar?
"Oh," she realised, "hello there, my name's Kushina Uzumaki," she greeted. "Who might you two be?" the three snapped out of it.
"My name is Akira Kurusu, and this is my feline companion Morgana." the blue eyed cat popped its head out of Akira's pack.
"Sup?" The woman looked shocked for a moment, but got over it turning her attention to the last person.
"I'm Yín Hoshi, nice to meet you." the woman's eyes widened slightly hearing his full name, but quickly hid it for the time being.
'It can't be…can it?' she shook herself of the thought. "It's a pleasure to meet you both," she said. " I hope my son hasn't been a pain to the both of you, has he?" the three shook their heads.
"No, he's been really cool actually," Akira admitted. Kushina smiled, glad to know her son wasn't a trouble maker like she thought he was...or still is, she didn't know.
"Now, come in, come in, rest from your travels here." and with that the five entered the home as Kushina closed the door behind her.
-Y-
Yín, Morgana, and Akira looked around the home in wonder. The inside was an oriental Japanese home, decorated in orange, red, and yellow coloring all around them. Naruto could only grin at the sight of the inside of the home. Kushina, who saw his grin, smiled warmly.
"Is it nice to be back home Naruto?" the blonde's grin widened.
"Believe it!"
It was then they heard footsteps in coming from down the hall, heading there way and getting closer with every passing moment.
"Kushina?" a male voice began, "who was at the door…?" it was then a man appeared. And at the sight of him did the two teens and feline gape at the figure before them.
It was an older, much more handsome, looking version of Naruto at first glance. He had the same blonde hair and blue eyes as Naruto, but with two long bangs framing the sides of his face that nearly reached his shoulders. He wore a long sleeved blue shirt with matching pants on his legs, a green flak jacket over his shirt, a forehead protector with what looked to be a leaf symbol on it, a pair of combat sandals on his feet, and a short-sleeved long white haori over his full attire, flame like designs on the bottom of it. But his most defining feature were the blonde wolf ears that emerged on top of his head.
"Minato," Kushina began, "I thought you were doing paperwork?" the man gimance when she said that, before letting out a tired sigh.
"I'm taking a break," he said. He then caught sight of the three teens and feline, but his gaze went directly to the blonde fox faunus, and at the sight of him, his eyes widened.
"Naruto…?" he asked in shock. The blonde teen nods, smiling at his father.
"Believe it." Next thing they knew, Minato was hugging his oldest son.
"It's so good to see you again," Minato leaned back and looked at Naruto. "You've aged nicely since last we saw you." Naruto grinned.
"Of course pops, I've been taking good care of myself!" Minato's eyes narrowed as a playful smirk graced his face.
"You haven't been eating Ramen everyday, have you?" Naruto then began to sweat nervously as he sheepishly chuckled.
"Uh...no, no I haven't." Minato laughed heartily before returning his gaze back to the other two boy's behind his son.
"And whom might you two be?"
"My name is Akira Kurusu," the grey eyed male greeted.
"Sup, I'm Morgana," the feline greeted, making Minato's eyes go dramatically wide at the sight of a talking cat. It took him a minute to get over it before he turned his gaze to the last person in their group.
"And I'm Yín Hoshi sir." Hearing Yín's name did Minato's eyes widen slightly before he quickly hid it behind a kind smile.
"It's nice to meet you both, my name is Minato Namikaze, and thank you both for watching out for our son." they waved it off.
"It was nothing," Akira told him, "he's a cool guy." Just then Naruto grabbed hold of of both the other two teen's wrists.
"Come on guys, I'll show you too my room!" and with that he dragged the two off down the hallway.
The two adults watched them go, a small smile on their faces. But as soon as they were out of sight did their smiles turn into serious expressions.
"Minato," Kushina began, "could it be? Could he really be her son?" the blonde man looked at his wife.
"I'm absolutely sure Kushina, he was even wearing her necklace around his neck." The woman cover her mouth with both hands as tears brimmed her eyes.
"H-he's really alive, and he's okay!" Minato held his wife as tears of joy fell down her face, a bright smile on her face. He two was smiling at knowing the son of their dear friend was alive.
"Yes Kushina, he's alive and well after all these years…"
-Z-
The three fourteen year olds were in Naruto's room and they were surprised by how big it was. On the far right wall in the center of it was a queen sized bed, orange colored sheets covering it and two nightstands on both sides of the bed, on holding a lamp, the other a picture and a book. Not to far was a desk with a chair pushed in and a bookshelf almost full of books on it.
"...it's nice." Yín admitted after studying the room for a moment.
"Believe it." Naruto said as he flopped down onto his bed with a content sigh. "Good to be back." the other two teen began to look around the room while Morgana jumped onto the bed and curled up into a ball and began taking a cat nap.
Yín walked up to one of the nightstands on the side of the bed, the one that held the two objects on its surface. Yín picks up the picture on the picture frame and looks at the picture inside of it.
The picture showed a much younger Naruto - still in his signature orange - and someone else right besides him. The person was another boy, about three years younger than Naruto if he had to guess. He had vibrant red hair and violet colored eyes, a red fox tail extending from his rear with matching fox ears on his head. He mostly wore all red coloring on his frame with blue and purple on it as well.
When Yín looked closer, he could see the distinct resemblance in nose and facial shape.
'Is this…Naruto's brother?' he questioned as he sat down the picture. He then picked up the next item, the book, and read the cover of it. 'Tales of the Utterly Gutsy Ninja?' he questioned. He decided he'd read it later and sat it back down.
Next thing they know, there was a knock at the door.
"I got it," Akira said, since he was the closest to it. He opened the door to reveal Minato standing there.
"Hello Akira, is it alright if I see Yín for a moment?" the silver eyed teen blinked in confusion. Why did he want to see him?
"Okay then." Yín exits the room after Minato, leaving the other two teens to wonder why he was needed?
-Y-
"Is there something you need of me sir?" the two were walking down the hallway, Yín greatly confused by the sudden turn of events that lead himself to be taken from the other guys' sides.
"Just wait a moment, you'll learn something you should have known a long time ago." Minato then diverted his eyes to Yín's tail. "Also, you can get rid of the tail, we know you can transformed like your father." Yín's eyes went wide in shock, realising he's been found out so easily.
His tail then began to shrink back into his tail bone and before you knew it, the tail was gone, and Yín looked completely human.
"How did you know that I could grow a tail? And how do you know my father?" Minato faced forwards.
"You'll find out soon."
-Z-
Moments later the two entered Minato's office, and to Yín's growing surprise, Kushina was standing there by the window of the office. She turned when she heard them enter and when she saw Yín she went up to him and gave him an almighty hug.
"I can't believe you're alive after all these years!" she cried out in pure joy. Yín meanwhile, was at an utter lost at what she meant.
"Sh-Should I know you?" he asked. Kushina let him go and gave him a soft smile.
"Yes, you should have met us years ago with your parents." She then looks at him closely. "You have her eyes and hair." Yín's eyes widened.
"Y-you knew my mother?" he asked slowly. Kushina nods, still smiling.
"She was my best friend when we were younger, and we were on the same team when we went to Beacon. And years later we were each others maids of honor." Minato then give his own words.
"Me and your father were also close, we didn't see eye to eye all the times, but after time we became like brothers." he said. Yín was looking at both of them in a great deal of surprise. "Then, you came along, and well..." Kushina looked right into Yín's silver pools.
"Yín, you may not have known this but…you're our Godson." Yín's eyes widened dramatically.
It was now night on the island continent, and the town was quiet. Yín sat atop the house, a cat tail swishing behind him as he looked down in thought.
He had Godparents…and they knew his parents...
They proved it was indeed true when they showed him a picture of him and his parents shortly after his birth, words written by his own mother on the back of it. Any doubt washed away when he read it.
They offered him and Akira a home here, but he was undecided on what they should do now. He had a link to his family, and he didn't want to lose it, but he had an obligation to his mentor and wanted to carry out her mission she had asked him till the bitter end.
He looked down at his right hand, more specfically at the two rings on his fingers. The Relics of Creation and Destruction giving faint gleams in the pale moonlight.
'What should I do…?' he wished he had a way to talk to someone who could help him make a decision on what he should do…
Unbeknownst to him, the Relic of Creation gave a faint gleam.
While he sat in thought, a figure appeared right behind him in a golden light as it laid a gentle hand on his shoulder.
"What's wrong my little star?" Hearing this, Yín's eyes widened slightly.
'No one calls me that except…' he turned around, only for his eyes to widen further.
There standing behind him was none other than Shirogane Hoshi, a soft smile on her beautiful face.
"M...mom…?" he whispered in a raspy voice. The woman smiled softly at him, her image flickering slightly.
"It is me my little star," she told him. She then sat down besides him, "now, tell me what's troubling-" she was abruptly stopped mid sentence when Yín flung onto her body. Tears streamed down his face as he knew it was indeed his mother right besides him. Shirogane shook herself from her stupper as she gently soothed Yín as he cried into her form. "There there little one, mommy's here for you."
-Z-
It took Yín about ten minutes to get a hold of himself.
"Mom, how are you here, why are here?" Shirogane smiled as she took his right hand and pointed to the glowing white diamond ring.
"The Relic of Creation. It did what you ask and created someone you could talk too, and seeing as you were thinking of me, it created me a temporary form to come to your side." Yín's gaze traveled down to the Relic in awe.
"It brought you here?" the woman nods.
"Yes, now, tell me, what's troubling you my star." Yín sighed.
"I just met Kushina and Minato," Shirogane blinked in surprise.
"You're godparents?" Yín hummed.
"Yeah, I did..." he muttered. "But this lead into a problem. They offered me and my friend a place to stay here, but I kept a promise to my old mentor that I would find the Relics and protect them and the Maidens…I just don't know what to do. They're so nice and are offering me a place here like Evanora did. I just..." he sighed. "I just feel so confused." Shirogane gave an amused chuckle.
"You remind me of myself when I was younger." Yín gave his mother a surprised look.
"R-Really?" she nods, an amuse look on her face.
"Mhm." she told him, she then turned and looked him straight in the eyes. "I had to choose what was right for my Team, myself, and most importantly, everyone else. But in the end Yín, you must follow what your heart wants." She told him, setting a hand on his chest, "that's all I can tell you." she saw her hand began flickering and frowned. Yín saw this and looked at his mother in concern.
"Mom, what's happening to you?" Shirogane sighed sadly.
"Yín, I can't remain long in this plane of existence, I have many things I want to tell you, but it seems it'll have to wait, but before I go, promise me something." Yín looked at her, unbounded determination in his eyes.
"I'll do anything." she smiles.
"Find and protect your sister, Yín, you are her only true family left and you will need one another for the trials that are to come your way." Yín nods.
"I promise mom, I will find her and protect her with my life." Shirogane gave a sad smile as her form began to glow.
"Thank you Yín, and know, me and your father are always proud of you…" her form began to glow as she and Yín shared one last hug before she dissolved into specks of light.
Yín let a lone tear fall from his face, but he wasn't sad anymore. He got to see his mother one more time and give her a proper goodbye. Now, he had another task.
Find Aqua, and protect her with his life, he swore to that.
He stood up and gave a yawn.
"Guess I should retire for the night." he got up and descended from the roof and climbed inside…
-Z-
However, from afar on a tree, a girl sat there, having seen the whole ordeal fist handed. She was…curious about the boy now. She jumped from the tree she sat on and disappeared into the night.
"*Yawn!* Man that was a good sleep." Naruto said.
"You can say that again." Akira replied. The three teens and Morgana were walking down the streets of the town, looking at the sights that were all around them.
Yín, however, was quiet the whole time, thoughts on his mind. Morgana noticed this and looked at the teen.
"Yín, is everything okay?" he asked, drawing the attention of the other two. Yín snapped out of his thoughts and looked at them.
"Yeah, I'm fine guys, just thinking on things." they didn't look convinced.
"Are you sure Yín?" Naruto asked.
"Yes, I'm fi-" Yín paused when he felt something off.
"Now what?" Akira asked. Yín's eyes narrowed.
"We're being watched." he side in a whisper. The other three's eyes widened before they also narrowed as well.
"I'd say we go and meet this person," Morgana said, getting a nod from Yín, who smirked.
"I'll handle it in a flash." suddenly, Yín flashed out of view, much to Naruto's surprise. Akira and Morgana weren't surprised, having seen Yín do this before.
-Y-
The girl from last night looked at the now group of three in shock when the cat faunus disappeared from view.
"Where did he go?" just then, a voice made itself known.
"You know, it's not nice to spy on people." the girl looked up into a tree to see Yín standing on a branch, looking down at her with narrowed eyes.
"Who are you?" she asked. Yín's gaze never wavered.
"Isn't it polite to introduce one's self before asking for another person's name?" The girl grunted.
"Alright fine, my name is Ilia, now who are you?" Yín jumped down from the tree gracefully, landing on his feet gentle.
"That's much better," he said, a small smile on his face. "And my name is Yín." Ilia couldn't help but think his name suited him well seeing his hair and eyes.
Yín, meanwhile, studied the girl. In all honestly, she looked human at first glance, but from years of experience he learned never to judge a book by its cover. However, what drew his attention most was the Grimm mask she wore, horns sticking out of the forehead of the mask.
Ilia studied the boy in front of her as well. He was different, different than anybody she's ever met, and she's met a lot of people.
"Hey Yín!" Ilia turned to see the two other teens and the feline on her other side. "Who the gi-" Naruto stopped when he recognised the girl. "Ilia!?" the girl's eyes widened as well.
"Naruto!?" The girl shouted in surprise. "How did you guys find me?" Morgana stuck his head out of Akira's bag as the said teen rubbed under his chin.
"This little guy tracked Yín." the cat nods.
"I see…" Ilia said softly. Yín looked back at her.
"Now, what do you want with me?" Ilia stood hesitant for a moment before she removed her mask to reveal a set of dark colored eyes and a freckled face. She looked up at him before she began to speak…
Well that was a nice long chapter right there.
Betcha didn't see Yín having Godparents there did ya, huh? No, I expected you not to. And for Yín's mother showing up is all thanks to the Relic of Creation for temporarily creating her a physical form to come and talk to Yín. And I bet no one saw that either.
Now we see the three - four of you count Morgana - confront Ilia and her reasons for following them.
Next chapter we meet Blake's Parents, Sienna Khan, and more familiar faces as well as new ones...
