Flashback:

The Tao mansion, the next day:

'Maybe we should just kill it…' En hesitantly suggested.

'Him.' Ai corrected and rolled her eyes 'And you won't kill him. You have better things to do with him. Besides, I went through too much to get him here. I had to curse a bunch of vampires AND teleport with Ren!Do you know how exhausting that is?'

En let out a low growl and folded his arms.

'I'm telling you, this boy will be a big trouble!' the man said, the frown on his face deepening 'He has tasted freedom and power which means he won't be very eager to obey to anyone. You do realize that he does something wrong, the whole clan will blame ME, don't you?!'

Ai walked to him and stuck her index finger into his chest, her face and inch or two away from his.

'Listen to me, Tao En and listen well, you want an heir, don't you? A boy that will fight in the shaman tournament? Well, guess what, you're running out of time. This lad, Ren, he is your only option! He'll survive all your cruel training AND he has talent that none of the other boys from our family has.'

'So? Talent isn't everything! How am I going to make him compete!'

Ai pulled back, smirking a little, then nodded to one of the guards that stood near the door. He bowed and disappeared somewhere. A minute or so he returned, dragging a young girl with her hands tied on her and her mouth gagged with a piece of cloth.

'See this?' Ai said, grabbing the girl's long light brown hair and pushing her towards En.

'This is just some human girl, how is she going to help us?' the man snapped. Ai snickered a bit and released the girl's hair.

'Meet the so-called Destiny.' The old woman smirked and folded her arms as she saw En's confused expression. The man blinked a couple of times, then frowned and bent a little to the captive's eye-level and pulled the cloth, so she could speak. Immediately after that Destiny's cursing filled the room.

'… And for crying out loud, WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO ME! WHY AM I STUCK IN MY PREVIOUS HUMAN BODY!? WHAT DO YOU WANT WITH ME? WHERE IS REN? WHERE'S JUN?' Destiny yelled trying free herself from the ropes.

En just stood there, staring at the girl dumbfounded as Ai smiled triumphantly at him from behind the captive's back.

'I told you I can turn them into human again.' The old woman cheered 'Well, of course not completely. There're a few side effects like… um… they'll age about eight times slower and possibly will be much harder to kill. But anyway, those are only pluses. And this girl… This girl's Ren's love, if I'm correct.'

'YOU'RE CORRCET AND HE'LL FUCKING KILL YOU WHEN HE FINDS OUT!' Destiny yelled, which made En once more gag her for the sake of his ears.

'Fine, so what are you suggesting?' the man asked, raising an eyebrow.

'Simple. I'll turn him into human as well and I'll take the girl with me. He can't do anything to stop me, he has to obey every each one of my commands. We'll tell him that if he wants to see her again, he'll have to win the Shaman tournament and voila!' she winked to him 'You'll be surprised what a motivation like this can do.'

'Hm…' En looked thoughtfully at Ai, chucked his chin and after a moment or so nodded 'You know… this might actually work…' he glanced at the captive 'You can train Destiny… and I'll take the siblings and turn them into shaman warriors… However, we should be very careful. Nobody aside from the family should know about this. The Shaman counsel might not take it very well… Having a half vampire enter the tournament…'

'Of course. We'll make sure nobody finds out.' The woman agreed 'It would be the Tao clan's secret.'

End of flashback.

'So… that's pretty much all.' Ren said, scratching the back of his neck 'They let me see Destiny one more time, before Ai took her away. We had only a couple of minutes, so I gave her one of the pendants. You see, those pendants weren't ordinary. The pendant Destiny had, could locate mine and that way, if she had the chance to escape, she could find me. We both knew that I would most probably be under much more pressure and therefore, the hope was in her.' Ren sat back in his chair with a sigh 'Of course that plan happened to be not that good after all. I mean, the tournament ended and if I had the pendant I would've found her long ago. But since everybody from the clan hate me, no one told me where she is, even though I was the new leader. They just kept saying they didn't know anything. Meanwhile Destiny studied magic with Ai and somehow managed to get close to the granny. The secret of how to break the spell was revealed and… yeah, you know the rest.'

Horo just stood there not knowing what to say. Ren didn't need anyone to say anything, he preferred snuggling Destiny and she preferred sitting in his lap and nibbling his earlobe.

'Oh.' The Ainu finally managed to let out 'So, no more memories, I guess…'

Ren shrugged.

'Well, do you need more?'

Horo blinked a couple of times.

'Yeah, it was fun.' He explained and was about to add something, when he suddenly noticed something disturbing. His eyes went big and he found himself unable to move. Ren pulled away a little from Destiny to try see what the Ainu was looking at and when he did a small smile appeared on his lips.

Through the opened door you could see Jun and Hao making out in the hall. They were most probably trying to get to some of their rooms, but their impatiens and hunger for each other was taking over, so they just kissed all the way to their aim. Which happened to be lots of time, considering they moved very, very slowly.

'Hey, they finally did it!' Destiny giggled, her eyes also locked on the couple 'I was already starting to get worried.'

'Yeah, me too.' Ren agreed as his sister and the pyro disappeared from their sight.

'You mean you knew?' Horo exclaimed.

'Of course, there were sparks, didn't you notice?' Ren asked, raising an eyebrow mockingly. 'I was just hoping they would get together before we leave to find Eliot, which happens to be tomorrow, so… I'm really glad.'

The Ainu chose not to answer, than stood up and headed to the garden.

Ren couldn't hold back a laugh as his friend closed the door behind him, leaving them alone in the room with plenty of funny ideas of what to do.

'So…' the lad begun, a sly smile appearing on his face 'How about we have a little fun while there're no Blueberries around, curious to find out stuff about our past?'

Destiny giggled.

'Sounds great…'

A second later they found themselves on the floor, groping, making out and searching for the fastest way to get rid of the clothes. A very usual situation for them. It was something that had always surprised Jun – their endless desire for each other…

Ok, so lame final, I KNOW! Sorry. And the chapter was short There will be more action in the next chapters, cuz guess what? This story's coming to an end. There will be... let's see about three or four chapters left. And no more flashbacks. Just fights. Please, review, ok? I don't understand why people read and don't want to just press the little button on the left and write a sentance or two. It's not THAT hard! Besides, I noticed that this is one of my less read stories, so I'm surprised I'm still updating it... Oh, well. There's not much left, so... yeah, it's no biggy. I'll update as soon as I can. I have two more stories that need updating...
