Chapter 16
As weeks went by it was now October 1st, In China in the Jing City towards the east, Valeriea and Xavier were walking underground. They were under a large Temple that had been long abandon by its people. Xavier was holding up a lantern as they walked down deeper into the tunnel. "Val, are you sure it's down here. We have been searching for weeks." Valeriea was silent as she read the scroll. "Even if it isn't here, we will keep looking until we find it." Looking up she could hear rushing water. They reached an opening to the tunnel and Valeriea smirked. In the middle of the small underground stream, there was a large staircase. At the top was a coffin. She chuckled and floated over to it. Xavier sighed and followed her.
Reaching the top of the stairs Valeriea and Xavier looked at the coffin. It was covered in dust and debris. Xavier raised an eyebrow. "You would think they would have kept this more protected. Did they just abandon him here?" Valeriea rubbed her hand over the coffin, blowing the dust away. On the middle of it there was a carving of a lone wolf with a picture of the moon and sun behind it. Under the carving was a name. "Lucian…" She let out a dark laugh. "Finally, I found him."
In the hidden home, on the mountain's Oichi was laying in bed wearing a white bohemian maternity gown. She was going on 6 months now. She grown out as she tried sitting up. She felt weak and her face was going pale. The girls were draining her. The door opened and Orochi walked in with a tray of food. Oichi couldn't get Orochi. From her point, the last time she was kidnapped, she was taken advantage of and tortured and all the above but this was different. While he didn't let her leave the room for any reasons, he tried to be gentle with her. Still using Octavius body, he cooked her meals, made sure she was comfortable and dressed her in white gowns. His manner of speaking had changed as well. Instead of snapping at her he would try to talk calmer to her and instead of grabbing her roughly he'd ask if she was hurting. It was a complete 180 from what she saw him do in the chamber and from how everyone else described her. Could he really have feelings for her?
"Hey…it's time to eat." He grabbed her arm, carefully. "Am I hurting you?" "No…" Oichi says tiredly. He helped her sit up and placed a stand up tray in front of her. "Eat…I'll be back for the tray." "Why are you doing this?" Oichi asked. "Why are you being nice to me? Aren't you working for Valeriea? Shouldn't you be taking me to her by now?" Orochi turned to her. "I do not work for anyone. I do want I want." He walked back over to her. "Do you not remember what you said to me before I released your soul?" Oichi nods. "I do…it all came back to me bit by bit. I promised you that I wouldn't let you be alone but…its this to much? I have a family and a kingdom to run. You can't keep me locked up in here forever!" Orochi grabbed her cheeks. "I know that. That's why I need to merge. I'm not strong enough to keep you yet in this body." He leans in close and kissed her. Oichi tensed up but slowly relaxed. This was something else she didn't understand. Everyday, he'd give her a kiss. Not like the first one, where it was forceful but a soft and gentle caring one. It made her heart flip and she wasn't sure how to feel about it. Of course, her body had a mind of its own when her hormones started to flare up.
Orochi backed away. "I'll be back with the tray in an hour." He left the room, closing the door behind him. Oichi sighed and looked at her wrist. It was getting bruised from the cuffs. As she started to eat, she started running back through her memories about her time with Orochi the first time they meet. 'There has to be a way to convince him to take me back home…' She suddenly remembered looking down at his sleeping face when he used to sleep on her lap. His face turned red. 'So cute…'
Terry was pacing back and forth; River has been labor for almost two half days. Valora and Esme sitting on the couch holding Jareth "Daddy…. Is mom gonna be okay?" Terry stopped and smiled "She will and so will your baby sister" hearing a knock, he turned to see Nia walk in. "Hey Ter. How is she?" Terry smiles. "Okay I hope."
Kaname and Reina came out "We have to get her to Julian right away! Xena won't turn for her to be pushed out, River is started to hurt more and more" The twins eyes widen. Terry frowned. "I'll get him." Nia says. "He is here currently. He just got out of surgery." She rushed out the door. Terry sighs with a worried look.
Zach was making a house call for Jess. Jess was laying on the couch. Rick and Chida where sitting on the couch with her, Jess's had on Rick's lap and her feet on Chida's lap. Zach sitting on a chair had the ultrasound ring around her tummy. They smiled has on the screen the boys appeared. Jess giggled "oh our boys" Rick and Chida grinned "Their getting big"
Aerith walking in she gasped and skipped over "My baby brothers?" Jess giggled "Yeah" Rick and Chida chuckled. Zach smiled "you want pictures?" Jess nodded "yeah" Zach chuckled and started to print out pictures.
Over at Marie's and Ty's, Ross was over and he was very upset. He was stopping by to take a look at the body Paxton had for him. That was until he heard from Marcellus about Maire getting married. Marie was eating some snacks ignoring his frown. "You. Got. Married!" He finally says. "Yup." She held up her hand to show him her ring and then went back to eating. "When were you going to tell me!?" He asked. Marie shrugged. "Whenever you stop by, I guess." Ross frowned. "Oh come on! Marcellus knew before me!" "Yes, well my younger brother does come by and check on me and to eat pancakes you know."
Ross groans out. "Marie I am serious. I would have like to be witness at your wedding!" Marie rolled her eyes. "Well I wasn't a witness at yours either now was I." Ross stopped talking. "Yes, remember how you and Kaci left the family in our time of needed and got married? I forgave you for that you know but it still didn't sit well with me. So before you get mad at me about not telling you anything, how about you think about all the things you did and didn't tell me? Hmm?" She smiled sweetly. "Ty can I get some more food!?" She called out. "Yeah, I'm coming."
Ross sighs. "Your right…I'm sorry. I shouldn't get upset or anything about that…but now that we are even can I have an ultrasound picture of my niece or nephew? Please?" Maire smiled and handed him one. "Here you go. I saved the last one for you." Ross smiled. "Getting bigger by the day." Marie smiled. "I'll let you know what the gender is when we find out. Now, go on and head back to Paxton. You need to get into your new body as soon as possible before that one dies out. Don't want to scare your children or anything." Ross chuckled and got up. He walked over to her and kissed her forehead. "I'll be back to check on you. Still don't like Ty and all." Marie rolled her eyes. "Goodbye brother." She says shooing him away. Ross chuckled, opening a portal, and leaving.
Julian in the room with River, Terry and Nia was still in the waiting room with the twins and Jareth. Jareth was in Terry's arms; Terry was frowning he wasn't allowed back there yet. The twins frowned and looked down worried about their mother and baby sister. Jareth started to kick his legs "Down! Daddy!" Terry smiled slightly. "Trying to run away from me now squirt?" He placed him down on the floor holding his hands. Nia smiled. "He is getting so big." Terry nods. "Yeah…soon he will be uncuddlable." Nia chuckled. "I'll cuddled all my grandkids even when they are adults." Jareth pouted and tired to get out of Terry's grip "No! want mama!" the twins blinked "I think he feel mom's pain…" Jareth had tears in his eyes "Mama!" "Your mom will be okay sweetie." Nia says. Terry picked him back up. "Just wait a little longer and she'll be alright." Terry says.
A door opened making them look has Julian walked out holding a pink bundle. Terry smiled and stood up placing Jareth in Esme's lap, Julian smiled "Terry here is your baby girl" he placed her in Terry's arms. Terry looked down at her and smiled, she had his brown hair with a tint of river's blue like an ombre mix. Her eyes opened and Terry eye's widen at her eyes. They where Blue and yellow mixed. She smiled right up at him, he chuckled "Hello my little princess, Xena" the girls giggled and sat up with Jareth walking over and they gasped at her "Wow! She's so cute!" Jareth blinked down at Xena and pouted. Nia chuckled. "Jealous already. So cute. Congratulations Terry." Terry smiled. "Thanks mom." Jareth pouted "No!" he was pointing at her "No!" the twins frowned at him "Jareth don't be mean to our new baby sister"
Julian sighs "Well River is doing good, her mother is stitching her up and she will be moved to the maternity room in a little bit…. Xena was very in stubborn indeed. She would not turn or even get pulled out from River but we managed to get her out.. Terry… I need to speak with you alone" Terry frowned feeling something was more wrong, he nodded and gently placed Xena in Nia's and walked off with Julian.
Nia frowned but smiled softly "Valora take a picture and send it to your grandpa" Valora smiled brightly and nodded taking out her phone.
In Julian's office, they sat down "Terry… River's Uterus was damaged taking out Xena… she might not be able to get pregnant again… if she does then it would be a miracle…" Terry frowned and sighs. "I see… that's a little upsetting to hear...but I'm happy that she is going to be alright."
At Paxton's house in the basement. Ross was down there with him looking at his new body. His eyes were widen at it. "Pax… you can't be serious." Paxton nodded. "Yes, your dad said he didn't have any use for it anymore." Laying down on a table was the former human body of Lilith. It had long curly black hair and fair skin. The body was laying under a white sheet. "Since Lilith is imprisoned she doesn't need this body and if it can hold her then it can hold your form as well." Ross chuckled. "I swear this is going to be on my ten best of my life moments. When can I have it?" "If you want it, I can do it now but you should like Kaci know and all. Don't need him freaking out when a random woman comes hugging him and stuff."
Ross nods. "I got it. This body is Lilith but her stench is still all over it. It will be a while before the body completely becomes mine." "I'll give you a black feather so that it can cover her scent. Marie would be horrified at this." "All right. I'll be back. I'll tell Kaci about it and we can get this process done." "Everything will be ready by the time you get back." Ross opened a portal and left.
At the house, Kaci was humming to music picking up the mess around the house. Hannibal was in his bouncing chair bouncing with Kaci "Ahh! Ahh!" Kaci chuckled "You like to join me in dancing?" Hannibal giggled and smiled brightly banging on his bouncy chair. Hannibal feeling something he turned and see's a demon portal open and ross walk out of it. Hannibal smiled even more brightly has fire appeared in his hands, he screamed with happiness. Kaci blinked "Why you screaming?"
"Because his sexy papa is here." Ross says walking through. He walked over to the bouncy chair and picked him up. Kaci chuckled "I see a very sexy daddy indeed"
Walking over to Kaci he kissed his cheek. "So, I'm here to let you know I'm switching bodies today. Paxton found a matching body and it's a female. The only thing about it is that… it's my mother's old human body." Kaci blinked "Your mother's old human body….? Wouldn't that be a little weird…?" "Na, it's not like I care about her or anything. I'm fact I'll treat it as a slap in the face to her."
Kaci sighed but chuckled "I see but I would like to have one last love making in your body right now then you can change into your new female body" "Of course, that's also why I came back. Marie wouldn't mind watching over Hannibal for a few hours. She needs the practice with her new husband…" Ross's says frowning and then smiled. Kaci chuckled "Well we can send Azaya to Semyaza's, Azaya!" Hannibal was grabbing Ross's chin "DA!" Azaya walked in "Yeah mom?" Kaci chuckled "you can sleep over at Semyaza's tonight make sure you be safe" Azaya's eyes widen and turned red "I can sleep over at Semyaza's…?" Ross chuckled "I want a night alone with your mother before I change bodies" Azaya gasped "A new body?! Will it be a female body?!" "Yeah." Ross says nodding.
Azaya giggled skipping away "Yay!" taking out her phone. Kaci chuckled "Well then go and pack Hannibal's stuff and bring him over to Marie's while I go up to our room get ready for romantic last night" he kissed Ross and walked away wiggling his hips. Ross chuckled and went to Hannibal's room. "Let's get you to your aunties house."
Semyaza on his bed with a book when he sensed a portal open he sat up has Azaya walked through it with a duffle bag "Sem! Apparently I can spend the night tonight, mom and Dad want a romantic night before dad changes bodies"
Semyaza raised his eyebrow. He closed his book and opened his door. "Mom! Azaya is over here!" He yelled out. "Alright sweetie!" She yelled back. He closed his door and grabbed his book. "So uncle is finally changing his body. Dad said he had another year left at best." Azaya put her duffle bag down and crawled on the bed and snuggled into him "I missed you" she licked his neck "Thirsty…" "I'm studying for a missed test, so drink your full while I'm reading." He says flipping a page in the book. Azaya giggled and managed to remove Semyaza's shirt and she bite down on Semyaza's shoulder, putting a leg over his waist.
Oichi eyes opened, she was sweating and her body was tingling. Looking at the window she could see that it was dark now. She sighs as she carefully turned over. She frowns to see Orochi sitting there in the chair watching her. "Do you have to watch me when I sleep?" She asked. "Yes." He says bluntly. Oichi pouts. "Why…" "To make sure you are still there." Oichi wipes the swear off her brow. "It's hot in here…why do you dress me in white?" She blushed. "Are you trying to practice into making me your wife or something?" Orochi's eyes widen slightly and she could see a slight pink blush run across his face before disappearing. She couldn't help but to giggle. "Flustered you up eh?" He turns his head. "I put you in white because when I fist saw you, you were wearing a white dress. You looked… beautiful in it, the more that I think about it."
Oichi blinks at him and turns her head. "I see… um… it's hot and I would like to wear something else to sleep in." Orochi sighs and gets up. "Your hot because your horny." Oichis face went red. "Excuse me!" "You were moaning out your late husband's name. I know a moan of ecstasy when I hear one." He got up and walked to the bed slipping in beside her. "What are you doing!?" Orochi turned her back over and pressed his body against her. She gasps as his hand ran across her belly. He chuckled when he felt kicks. His hand trailed down to her thigh, making her shiver. "Stop… you said you Wouldn't…" Orochi bites the edge of her ear. "I know but there are other things I can do to you to help release yourself." His hand went up her dress. Oichi shook as she felt where his fingers were going. He other hand wrapped around her gently. "I will allow you to call out his name, but only this once as you reach the high levels of your heat. Enjoy this feeling my beloved."
In the mountain, Ronnie was sitting on a tree branch looking down at a few dead bodies of the Marrow clan. He smoked a cigarette as Terrance flew down. "Ron, Oichi's scent is getting stronger around this area." Ronnie nodded. "Yes, I can tell and so can the Marrow clan. They might find her first at this rate. Go tell Seth that we will need him up here." Terrance nodded and flew off. Ronnie jumps down and starts walking back up the path.
Marie and Ty where sitting on the couch when a demon portal opened and Ross walked through it with Hannibal. Hannibal see's Marie and giggled reaching out for her. Marie smiles. "I take it the news with Kaci went well?" Ross walks to her and handed her Hannibal. "Yeah, well he wants a last loving night with this old body of mine." Marie shook her head. "Didn't need to know all of that." Ross tossed Hannibal's bag to Ty. "Need you to watch your nephew. It will be great practice for you and… him." Marie nods. "Okay, now go on."
"On more thing. The body I'm getting. It's Lilith's body." Marie frown as her face went pale slightly. "What…?" "Hold on now, don't panic. You know she's locked up. She won't hurt you anymore okay? Paxton is going to use his feather to block her smell until the body becomes mine. Okay?" Marie bit her lip. "That's not all… Alcaeus… what If he sees you in that body." Ross frowned. "Even if he does, he can't kill me so easily. I'll be fine okay." Marie frowned and nodded. "Okay… just be careful when you have her body okay?" Ross nodded. "Alright I gotta go. Take care of my son." He opens a portal and walks into it. When it closed. Ty wrapped his arm around Marie. "Everything will be okay." Marie sighs and looks down at Hannibal who was staring up at her. She rubbed his cheeks. "Yeah…I hope so…"
Ross walking out of the portal in the bedroom then he was speared on the bed and Kaci was sitting on him nothing but boxers, Ross blinked up at him grinned "eager I see" Kaci flushed and chuckled "WE haven't had sex in awhile so of course this is gonna be a very long long love making tonight before I take you this time in your new body…" Ross chuckles taking his shirt off. "Not sure if your excited for me now or the female version of me but don't think for one second I'll change because I'm a female. I'm way more dangerous in bed then you think." He says smirking. Kaci grinned and licked his lip leaned down biting his neck roughly.
In China, Valeriea was using a abandoned temple for her hideout for now. In the back room was the coffin she and Xavier found. Crissy, Orochi, and Alcaeus were in the room. "What the hell is that thing mother?" Valeriea ran her fingers across the coffin. "This my dear boy is a lead for us to more power." Orochi frowned looking at the coffin. "How did you find this?" Valeriea held up a scroll. "The secrets in this scroll was a very big help. Now all we need is one more thing." "Who is in there? What lead? When can I kill Lilith and her filthy children?" Alcaeus asked.
Valeriea chuckled. "Soon my dear but remember your mission to me first. You help me achieve my goals and I'll return the payment in full. Orochi come open the coffin." Orochi sighs and walks over to her. He looks at the coffin and held his hand out. Creating multiple arms of serpent, he pushed the lid to the floor making it Crack. In the coffin there was a young man with long gray hair. He was wearing a very old Victorian outfit. Alcaeus looked at the man. "Who is he?" "This is Lucian. The deity of all werewolves." Their eyes widen. "There is no such thing…" Crissy says. "Only few know of his existence. He is currently in a very deep sleep right now, weakened. He can only be awaken by a special peach. The next item we need to find." Orochi sighs. "The peach garden of the Monkey King…" Valeriea looked at him with a wicked smile. "Why yes and I hear that you two are very good friends no?" Orochi frowned. "That brat is no friend of mine but I will fetch it for you. Consider it a going away gift. My last task to you as thanks for freeing me from Lucifer's prison." He opened a portal and walked through it.
Xavier frowned. "You truly are allowing him to leave…" Valeriea nods. "I can't not control him. I don't need a beast I can't not control." "And what will you do once this… deity… is awaken."
Valeriea crossed her arms. "As a thank you for waking him. He will owe me a favor. He is not the deity I truly want. There is another forgotten deity that is lost to time. I need to know her whereabouts and free her as well. As for Orochi. When the time comes I will disposal of him myself. Let him have his fun trying to build a false family. They will make a perfect power tool for when I get my hands on them." She walks by them. "Xavier, you watch him until Orochi gets back. Alcaeus, Crissy you come with me. We need to prepare." The followed her out. Xavier looked down at Lucian. Even while sleep he could feel a faint power drawing out of him. "Deities… if only there was a way to destroy you all…" He says with a frown.
Another week passed it was the 10th of October. A portal opened up near the mountains in China. Orochi walked out with a sigh. Walking along the mountain path he noticed shadows started to peak their heads out. Up in the trees as well. Orochi ignored them and kept walking. He stopped when something landed on his shoulder. It was a cute monkey holding a peach. Orochi gave it a blank look but kept walking. The shadows around him started coming out as monkeys left and right. The smell of fruit reached his nose and he followed it. He soon came to a large river with a waterfall. He closed his eyes as he transformed into his human form. He hid his demonic presence. He then walked into the river and walked across with the monkeys following him. Another monkey jumped on his other shoulder.
Reaching the whatever he put his hand into it and closed his eyes. The water felt nice hitting his hand. He opened his eyes and pulled it out. A few monkeys ran passed him and into the waterfall. Orochi followed suit and walked into it. Behind the waterfall was a cave with a stairwell going on. He groans and heads to the stairs.
He climbed, and climbed, and climbed. It felt like he had been climbing for hours but he kept a blank expression on his face. He didn't tire so easily and this wasn't the first time he climbed these same stairs. After what felt like forever, Orochi finally reached the top. More fruitful smells hit his nose. Walking out into the opening he saw that he was in a luscious garden filled with various fruit, a clear blue pond with koi fishes swimming around. Monkey were in the tress relaxing and eating.
Orochi walked forward looking around. "I will never understand why those fools made you King of this mountain…" He heard snickering. "Well, well, well, an old face has appeared on my mountain I see. It's been a while since you appeared before me. A ghost in my past." Orochi frowns. "Do you plan on showing your face or will you keep hiding from me." A figure dropped down behind him. "You sound irritated my friend. Something got your britches in a bunch?" Orochi turned around to see a young lean person with fur and monkey ears, tail, and palms. He had bright orange hair and eyes. He was wearing a orange kimono with a large staff behind him. "Sun Wukong, or should I prefer to you as Monkey King." Wukong chuckled. "That depends Orochi Yamata. Would you like for me to call you the demon of Chaos?" Orochi frowned making him chuckle. "Come. Let's enjoy a drink while we talk. I'm sure you are here to cash in on that favor. Right?" Orochi nodded. "I figured. Well let's have some drinks and talk for a bit. Hear though the monkey vines that you might have lost your heart to another beauty. I want to hear all about it." He says as Monkey dropped down on Orochi head.
At the hospital, River was still their on-bed rest until she was able to heal herself. Using a type of metal that cut through her skin aren't easy to health so quickly. She was sitting up with breast feeding pillow under Xena, she was feeding from River and a breast-feeding cloth was over Xena in case a nurse or Julian came in while she was breast feeding Xena. River smiled down at her. Terry walked in with some food River smiled "your mom is watching the kids?" Terry nodded, River chuckled leaning back on the bed has Xena breast feed from River.
Jess walked in with a gift bag in hand, Rick and Chida walked in behind her, Jess smiled "Aww you breast feeding?" River chuckled "Yeah" Jess chuckled and walked over sitting down. Rick and Chida chuckled at the same time put their arms over terry's shoulder "Congrats man" they said at the same time. Terry brushed them off. "Yeah. Thanks, and don't do that." Terry says chuckling. He sits the food down on the table next to the bed.
River blinked "She's done, Terry here take her" Terry chuckled and stepped over reached under the clothes and gently picking up Xena. Jess's eyes sparkled "awwwww!" Terry chuckled "Well godmother, would you like to burp her?" Jess eyes lit up like Christmas "Yes!" River chuckled and fixed herself "So the gift?" Jess chuckled and handed River the gift has Terry placed Xena On Jess's shoulder, Rick had placed a towel on her shoulder behand. Jess smiled and patted Xena's pack gently.
River chuckled and reached in the bag taking out the cutest outfit, 4Pcsborn Infant Baby Girls Outfit Clothes Romper onesie Set, it was pink and white and on the jumper piece it read 'daddy's little princess' River smiled brightly "Terry look at Jess's gift!" Terry smiled. "True and cute. Thanks Jess." Jess smiled "you are welcome" Rick and Chida chuckled.
At Kaci and Ross's, Azaya had moved back in her dorm room. Hannibal was still with Marie. Kaci collapsed next to a panting Ross who was in the female body. Kaci smiled panting "That was wow…." Ross sat up and grabbed a band. She wrapped her hair in a low ponytail. "I told you that I was more amazing in bed as a woman. Recover quickly so we can go for another round. While you do that I'm going to think of a new name. Ross sounds to manly for a body this sexy." She says letting out a cute giggle. Kaci pouted "But I like the name Ross.. maybe there is a female name for Ross" "There is but why would I want another name that has Ross in it. Kinda defeats the point of having a new name for a new body." Kaci chuckled then grinned as Ross climbed on his lap, Kaci chuckled "gonna give me an amazing Ride?" "I suppose so, thinking of new names makes my head hurt so I'll tire you out until one pops into my head." Kaci grinned and grabbed his hips and Thrust up super hard with his vampire speed and strength. Ross chuckled, holding on to him. "Come on now, don't tell me that's the best you can do."
Orochi and Wukong were sitting in front of the pond drinking sake. Wukong whistle. "Sounds like you just can't stop yourself." Orochi sighs. "I am what I am. A tool, a monster, a beast that only kills when he feels like it. I am what Lucifer created to be." Wukong hums out. "Well, this woman you are after doesn't seem to think so." Orochi frowns. "As long as she bears my mark she has no choice but to. I'm sure once I remove it she will treat me all the same." "Maybe, but why does that bother you so much? It's just one woman. How many women have you had in your time of roaming? This one shouldn't be any different." "…she is different though. That's why I want her and I will have her." Wukong chuckled. "What's her name again?" "Oichi." "Mmm pretty name. What she look like?" Orochi reached down in the pond and dipped a finger in it. A picture of Oichi shined in it. "Whoa! She's kinda cute looking. I thought your type was more…slutty you know."
"Yeah…" He drinks his cup. "So, the favor you want. Is it about the girl?" "No, it's for the witch Valeriea." "The same one who wants to destroy humans right? Man, she never dies does she." "Afraid not. She freed me from Lucifer, and I want to clean up my debt so that I may go to Oichi before she is found with my other self." "You want a peach? You do know what will happen if she gets her hands on it right?" "I know and I don't care. Will you give it to me or not?"
Wukong sighs and nods. "Very well, but you must do something for me." Orochi frowns. "Idiot chimp. This is a favor. It does no good for me to make another with you. Then we will be in a endless loop." Wukong smirked. "You want the peach or not?" Orochi growls out and then nods. "Good, when you get this girl, Oichi. Bring her here when you both acknowledge your feelings for each other. No side way feelings." "Why?" "Just do it okay. I also want to meet this woman who is changing you. I can't believe you even hid your demotic pressure. Normally you come here and wreck the place, kill my monkeys, demand women and booze and then leave. Your so…docile now…I kinda like it." Orochi's eyes twitched. "Fine, give me the peach."
Wukong held out his hand and pink flowers surrounded his palm until a peach appeared. "Freshly picked. I hope it is used to the best of its ability. Once it's gone, I shall give no more. After what your creator did to get one…" Orochi took it. He could feel the mystic properties coming from it. "In Lucifer's case, it was your own fault. How could you get tricked so easily by him?" Wukong pouted and sighed. "Your right…it was my bad. I should have noticed that when he found a way into this place." Orochi got up. "I thank you for this favor. I will be back with Oichi one day." Wukong smiled and waved bye to him. "I can't wait for that visit." Once Orochi left he looked back down in the spring and saw the picture of Oichi changed. It was now a picture of her and Orochi smiling lovely at each other as she held to bundles close to them. Wukong chuckled. "Orochi, your happiness will happen one day. I hope you don't let this chance miss you by."
In the temple, Valeriea was sitting down waiting, when a portal opened. Orochi walked out. She smirked at him. "You looked peaceful. Did taking that trip make you feel better?" "Shut up." Orochi says making her frown. "Do not forget who you are talking to. You are lucky I care so little for your plans." He walked to her and handed her the peach. She took it. "The peach of immortality." "With this my debt to you is paid. Do not call for me again. Appear before me at any time and I will kill you." He opened a portal and left. Valeriea got up and headed to an office she created with her magic. Walking in she placed the peace in a protective Flask. "All I needed was this one peach and now, my journey to immortality will begin." She laughed to herself.
In the hideout, Oichi was fast asleep with a flustered face. For the past few days, Orochi had keep her, gently satiated. His shape shifting powers came in very handy. Downstairs, Orochi was cooking some food when he turned his head to the door. Outside he could see shadows running left and right around the barrier. He sighs. "Times up it seems…I can feel the others close behind…" The barrier around the house was lifted as he walked upstairs. "I can feel myself coming closer, it will be a race of time, so it seems."
In the castle, Mikey saw Oichi's location and expanded it. "Yain, I found her. Ronnie and Terrance are near her." Yain frowned. "Rex, send out an emergency notice. Send out Oichi's location and notify Lord's Ronnie and Terrance quickly!" Rex nodded. "Understood."
At the hospital, Terry was holding Xena when his beads flashed red. Rex appeared. "Attention, Lady Oichi's location has been found, near the mountain." Terry's eyes widen slightly as he got up. He walked over to River and handed Xena to River. "I have to go. I'll be back as soon as I can." He kissed her forehead and rushed out the room. Jess blinked walking back in "What happen? I did Terry rush off?" River shrugged "I have no idea" Jess sighs and walked back over sitting down "So where are the twins?" River asked. Jess blinked and chuckled "Getting some Taco bell" River liked her lips "Mhmmm, mom should be here soon with some herbal dragon tea" Jess giggled "Sounds yummy"
At the hideout, the window to Oichi's room was broken through, her eyes opened and sat up to see wolves jumping through. "Queen Oichi Yamamoto Ruska. A hit has been placed on your head." They held up daggers and blades. "You will die!" They rushed at her, but the door slammed open and serpents appeared. They attacked the wolves, squeezing them and poisoning them with acid from bites. They quickly dropped dead. "What the hell!?" Orochi walked in. "Do you not remember that there is a hit on your head? Those wolves have been circling the hideout for quite some time. I had to let them in before they figured out how to get past my barrier." He walked up to Oichi and picked her up. "Your grandfather and Terrance are close but so is my other self. It will be a race of time. If they get here, you are free to leave but if I get here and merge then you come with me." Oichi frowned as he jumped out the window only to be surrounded by wolves. "Hand her over demon. I think you had enough fun with her." Orochi's black dog with a serpent tail appeared and grew larger. "Poor wolves, you truly do not know who you are dealing with." The black dog growled out and in attacked the wolves. "Close your eyes Oichi. I do not need you getting sick again." Oichi shook but nodded as she buried her head in his shoulder.
Terrance, Ronnie, Mason, and Seth raced up the path, cutting down any and all wolves from the Marrow clan. Terrance flew ahead and Mason disappeared into the trees. They could hear fighting up ahead. Seth took out his rapier and Ronnie eyes turned blue as he created a aura arm.
At the top, Orochi, holding on to Oichi, jumped up to the top of the building and was watching his serpents and serpent dog attack and kill the wolves. He smirked and was about to run off when more of the wolves jumped up and surrounded him. "We will never be beaten! We will have her head! You will die demon!" They yelled. Orochi sighed as was about to kill them all when suddenly the wolves caught on fire. They screamed out in pain as the feel from the roof. A portal opened and Orochi step out. At the same time Terrance and the others appear striking down the wolves. They looked up to see Oichi. "Lady Oichi!?" Terrance called out. Hearing her name Oichi's head pops up. "Terrance!?" She then looks at Orochi. Her eyes widen. "You…your…" "It seems like it's a tie."
Ronnie frowned at this. "We might be to late…" Seth looks around. "It seems like the Marrow clan refuses to back down. More are coming." Demon Orochi looked around to see wolves crawling out of the wood works. "Pesky worms. Hand Oichi over to them." He says. The Orochi holding Oichi nodded and turned to Terrance and the others. "Forgive me for this." Oichi blinked until Orochi tossed her down. She screams out in shook until she was caught by Terry, who was flying at top speed to get there. "T-Terry!" Terry smiled. "Hey, sorry for being late." Terrance and the others glared at Orochi. "Terry get her back to the castle!" Terry nodded and flew off. "Wait! What about…!" "They will be fine Oichi. We have to get you and the babies to safety. Oichi bit her lip. She wasn't worried about Ronnie and the others. She looked over Terry's shoulder to see Orochi looking back at her. 'Be careful…' She says to herself.
On the top of the roof, both Orochi's walked to each other. "You have done well Octavius. Thanks to you I can now be with my beloved and no one can stop me." They reached out and touched each other's hand. They closed their eyes as they merged as one. Doing this, dark aura pulsed out pushing everyone back. It sent a massive shock wave that shook the entire mountain. Ronnie was pushed back and clawed the ground trying to steady himself. Terrance was pushed back into the trees and Seth was clinging to a tree. They all looked up and felt Orochi's powerful dark aura. It was so strong that black fog started to circle the hideout and ground. Orochi cracks his neck and smirks. He looks down at the Marrow clan. "You didn't learn your lesson last time…the maybe this will get you attention. Anyone who wishes to leave should do so now. This mountain will be turned to dust." His body lit up making Ronnie's and Seth's eyes go wide. They quickly took off with Terrance in toe. Orochi laughed as he self-destructed himself creating a large dark explosion destroying the hideout. Terrance turned into his dragon form as Seth and Ronnie jumped on him. He flew up trying to escape the blast, but his left wing and tail took a hit. Terry and Oichi's eyes widen as they saw the blast coming to them. Terry tried flying as fast as he could, but the blast got closer. "Shit! We aren't going to make it!" Suddenly a large serpent appeared in front of them with its mouth wide up. It swallowed them whole and disappeared.
At the manor, Jayden and the others were looking in shock as the mountain was engulfed by the blast. Thalia frowned holding Kendrick. The blast shook the windows, but Rex had activated the barrier around the city preventing the aftershocks of the blast to get through. "Come children get away from the windows."
The explosion lit up the entire mountain and could be seen from the kingdom. At the hospital people were rushing to the windows looking at the blast. River and Jess frowned in the room, Jess got up and walked to the windows and her eyes widen to see and feel that explosion. River frowned "Jess…" Jess bites her lip "I can't… I can't go… I have to wait to see what happen…" River closed eyes then opened when Xena started to cry from the loud noise, she frowned and snuggled her "Shhhh it's alright sweetie.."
When the explosion calmed down people within the kingdom gasp to see that the entire mountain was destroyed.
Along the outskirts of the mountain, Terrance was laying there out cold with a badly burned arm and leg. Ronnie sat up coughing as Seth rubbed his head. "That blasted Demon…did he really have to self-destruct?" Ronnie got up and rushed to Terrance. "He took the blow for us and protected us from the fall. We need to get him some help. The burns look bad and there aren't even healing." Mason dropped down. "I'll take him. You should find Lady Oichi. I'm sure they didn't escape the blast with ease." Ronnie nodded and ran off with Seth behind him. Mason lifted Terrance by his other arm and headed to the hospital.
A few miles away from their landing. Terry groans out as he sits up. He rubbed his head and felt sticky. "Ew…" He rubbed slime out of his head. "Right… we got eaten by a snake…" He gaps. "Oichi!?" He looked around and saw her laying on the ground not moving. He got up and ran to her. "Oichi!?" He turned her over to see that she took a nasty blow to the head. Blood ran down the side of her face. He frowned and was about to pick her up until a tail wrapped around his neck. He gaps out as he was lifted and then thrown from Oichi.
He coughed out and saw Orochi, in Octavius body, walking towards Oichi with a blank stare. "Don't you touch her!" He yelled out. Orochi ignored him and bends down to Oichi. He rubs her cheek and rubs her stomach. He could feel the girls thrashing wildly around. He rubbed it gently until they calmed down. A soft smile appeared on his lips making Terry blink twice at this. "What… are you doing?" Orochi picked Oichi up. "Calming the children down. If they continue to move around like that she will begin to bruise. They could even crack her rib if she's not to careful." He started walking. Terry got up and ran in front of her. "Don't think I'll let you take her without a fight!" Orochi raised an eyebrow. "I am not taking her away. The bet was whoever got to her first. If I got here and merged with my body first, she will come with me. If you and your degenerative family and allies showed up first, I would have allowed her to go with them for the time being."
Terry gave him a low growl. "Then where the hell are you going?" "To your hospital. Can't you see that she is injured. Around me, wounds do not heal as fast. My powers block that if you get hit by it." "You can't! You can't even make it through the barrier! You have…" "I have to have a beaded bracelet as a form of identity correct?" He smirked. "Why do you think I waited to merge with Octavius. He and I are one there for his beads are my beads." He walked past Terry. "I want to kill him so bad…" "Try as you might little cub. You would be dead before you hit the ground."
Ronnie and Seth jumped down near Terry. "Halt Demon…" Orochi sighs. "No. I don't have time to explain myself again. Ask the boy." He walked off. Seth and Ronnie looked at Terry who frowned. "It's best to get to the hospital first…wait… where is dad?" "He got injured. Mason is taking him to the hospital now." Terry bit his lip until Ronnie placed a hand on his shoulder. "It wasn't life threatening. Come we can't take our eyes off of him."
At the hospital, Terrance was quickly rushed to a private wing of the hospital to be treated for his burns. Julian had give the doctors and nurses strict instructions on what to do. He narrowed his eyes as the nurses, doctors, and patients moved out of the way for Orochi. They shook at his dark aura pouring off. He stopped in front of Julian. "Make her better." "I intend to but first, hide that demonic aura of yours. You are scaring everyone." "I don't care about these people. Only Oichi." "If you keep your aura out like that then you will be doing more harm then good. She can't heal if your powers are blocking hers and think about the babies…" Orochi sighs. "Fine." He quickly hides his aura. Julian reached out to take Oichi but Orochi pulled back. "I'll take her. I will be watching you closely." Julian sighs. "Fine… come along." Orochi followed him. Ronnie, Seth, and Terry watched them go. "I'll stay with them." Seth says. "You should go to Jess and explain what is going on. I'll call Nia and the children as well." Ronnie nodded as he and Terry went to Rivers room.
Jess bites her lip she could feel Orochi's aura in the hospital, River got Xena to calm down "She calm down" Jess smiled softly "that's good" Ronnie and Terry walked in the room. Jess turned to them and frowned "he's here isn't he? I felt him here… is Oichi alright?" "Yes he is and she is with Julian."
Jess closes her eyes then opens them walking passed them and out of the room, Ronnie sighs "There's no stopping here.. where are the two idiots?" "They went to Taco bell… but knowing them they will come here quickly… make sure she won't do anything stupid please lord Ronnie?" river asked. "I will have to for the sake of Orochi's sanity for now." He left the room.
In a private room, Julian was cleaning Oichi up and taking care of her head. The nurses were getting the ultrasound ready. Orochi was sitting in a chair with his arms cross. He was watching them closely. Seth was sitting by the door watching him. "Don't try anything funny." He says. Julian ignored him as he continued working on Oichi. The door open slowly, Seth and Orochi looked has Jess walked in with a slightly wobbly she did 'phew' Seth frowned "Queen Jess… please take it easy…" Jess turned to him and smiled softly "I'm alright" she said then saw Orochi, his eyes might hers and she just smiled at him "Thank you for bring her back Orochi" Seth's eyes widen slightly from her even thanking him.
"Hmf…" He says looking back Oichi. Jess closed the door and sat down next to Seth "How is she Julian?" "She will be fine." He pulled up her dress and frowned as he saw bruise marks forming on her stomach. "The girls, however, are getting rowdier. Kick to where bruises are forming." Orochi got up just as Ronnie walked in. They watched Orochi walked over to her and placed a hand on her stomach. Ronnie narrows his eyes. "You better not be doing what I think you are doing."
Orochi glanced slightly. "I'm not you mutt." Ronnie growls lowly at him. Julian rubbed some gel on her stomach and places the wand on her stomach. The screen popped up showing views of the girls. They could hear the heartbeats rising faster and faster. Julian frowned and looked at Orochi. "Whatever you're doing isn't working." "Just wait…" Orochi says. He rubs her stomach gently as he could until they heard the heartbeats came down to a normal rate. "She's always rubbing her stomach. If she doesn't do it every now and then the babies will panic a bit. She's spoiled them quite a bit before they are even born." He says as a soft expression appeared on his face. Ronnie's and Seth eyes widen even more at the expression. "That… expression…" Even Jess eye's widen at this "wow…"
The door opened and Zach walked in closing the door "sorry for my late had business on Grivida… Jess my sons are freaking out in the waiting room" Jess frowned "I'm not leaving" Zach sighed and looked at Orochi and frowned but his eyes widen that expression on his face 'my, my..'
They heard a groan. Oichi's eyes opened. "My head…" She moans out. Julian moved the wand, after taking a few pictures. He cleaned her stomach and moved Orochi's hand making him frowned. He hit a button on the bed and adjusted Oichi to where she was sitting up. She rubbed the patch on her head. "Where am I…" "The hospital." Oichi blinks and rubs her eyes. She looked around the room. "Grandpa? Jess!? So… it wasn't a dream!? Am I really back home?" Jess smiled "yes your back sissy" Zach nodded with a smiled "your back home Oichi"
She looked at Orochi. "… Are you…" "In a way yes. Me and Octavius are the same but his memories are mine as well." Oichi frowned. "I see… you're not going to take me, away right?" Ronnie glared at him. "It would be foolish to do so." Jess frowned biting her lip "Very foolish of you even with me in the room" Zach frowned at her "Jess… don't push yourself…"
Orochi glared at Ronnie. "If I wish to take her I will…" Oichi grabbed his arm with a frown. He sighs. "No… I will not take you from this place…if that makes you happy." Oichi smiles. "Thank you." Orochi closed his eyes and goes to sit in the chair. "My kids!" Oichi suddenly says. Seth waves his hand. "They are okay and they are on the way. They have been very worried about you. Worried enough to try and save you on their own." Oichi gaps. "They did!?" She frowned at Ronnie who jumped slightly. "I assure you that we stop them from going to far. They aren't hurt promise." Jess nodded "Aerith snuck out with Jayden and they both went after you but had to return because… of the wolves kept coming… and coming… there is a barrier around my house, Joseph's house and Ross put his own demonic barrier around his"
Oichi frowned. "Yes… the Marrow clan… I sensed Mason was around here somewhere." "He is with Terrance. He got injured in the blast but he should be okay by tomorrow at least." Oichi sighs out. "They won't stop until they have my head. What about Angela? She's the one who put the hit on me." "Rinko lost contact in the catacombs. We haven't seen any reports of anyone leaving the island and the other towns and cities around are on high alert. She will be found." Jess bites her lip "I hope they find her so I can cut off her head myself" Zach sighs at her.
Orochi frowned. 'Angela…' "To get the hit off her head, this woman must be taken care off?" "I would rather have her brought in…" Oichi says. "I don't want any killing without a proper trial." "If the woman dies then the hit will be taken off. It does no good to keep her alive." Oichi looked down. "I know that…" Jess nodded "I agree with him Oichi" Zach nodded "he's right"
"It's your call pumpkin… as much as I hate agreeing Orochi, he is right. The hit on you have to be outbid or she has to die." Ronnie says. "I know that as well. Even on my land, she is a witch. I can't out right kill her. Her fate will lie with Jess. So she needs to be captured. As soon as possible." Orochi narrowed his eyes and got up. "It's moments like these that make you creatures weak." He opens a portal and looked back at Oichi. "I will be back. Now that my mark is fully awaken, you are mine now. Do not forget that." He walked through the portal. Oichi frowned. "How can I forget…" She sighs rubbing her stomach. Julian hums out. "He was right." "Hm?" "He said that you rub your stomach a lot. If you don't do it every now and then the girls get antsy. An interesting sight he has of you." Oichi blushed slightly. "It's… not a big deal…" Jess smiled and walked over sitting down next to her holding her free hand "I'm just happy your alright, Xena was born couple of weeks ago. I hope you will be well enough to see her little Xena" Jess took out her phone and brought pictures of Xena.
Oichi's eyes sparkled at her. "She's adorable! More cute babies join the family!" Jess chuckled "yeah I can't wait until my boys are here"
Zach turns his head and took a step to the side just as the door slammed open. "Mom!" Oichi smiled brightly as Jayden, Ayden, Alisha, and Naomi rushed in. They crowed the bed. Alisha and Naomi sniffed as they hugged her belly. "Mama!" They cried out. Jayden looked around on alert. "Where Is Octavius! I'll kill him for taking you!" Oichi sighs. "Jay calm down. I'm okay and Octavius he is gone… for now I suppose." Jayden huffed out. Kaleb leans on the edge of the bed. "Mom are you and the babies okay?" Oichi nodded. "Yes, all five of us are okay." She rubbed the twins head. "I'm sorry for worrying you all." Jayden frowned. "You don't have to be sorry. It's not your fault you got taken!" "Jay…" Oichi says. Jayden pouted and crossed his arms. "What matters the most is that we are okay and you all are okay." She started to get dizzy. "Oh…" Julian moved the kids out the way. "You shouldn't push yourself to hard. You need rest." He lays her back. "I guess…" Oichi says as she closed her eyes.
"Mom!?" Alisha cried out. "She will be okay." Julian says rubbing her head. "She's been though an tiring ordeal. She needs plenty of rest now. You kids can stay in here with her until I release her." He looked at Jess. "Now that you see that she is okay, you should go check on your two vampires in the lobby." Jess sighed "I guess I better go and shut them up" Zach chuckled "I'll walk with you" Jess smiled "thank you, I'll see you later Oichi" said walking over and leaned down hugging her and kissed her forehead then leaving with Zach.
Ronnie sighs. "I'll go talk to Terry about what's really going on." Seth nodded. "I'll wait here and watch her and the kids." Ronnie nodded and looked at Julian. "No one else is going to come in or out of this room. At this point we can't trust anyone until we figure out what to do about the Marrow clan. Terra is on her way here and she will watch the door." "Terra…" Seth says. "Yes, she use to work with Samuel but her job was more… discreet." Seth hums out. "You fancy her?" Seth frowned at him. Ronnie chuckled. "If you are I'm sure Danni can set you a date with her." He walked out. The kids looked at Seth. "Grandpa? Your getting a girlfriend?" Seth sighs. "No…" Alisha and Naomi pouted at him.
Jess sighs walking out into the waiting room to see Rick and Chida standing there fuming and angry with a worried look. Shaking her head "Really you two… I'm alright" they frown at her "Jess… you pregnant" "You shouldn't be dashing off like that" "Even with Orochi here" they finished their sentences. Jess shook her head "I'm alright, so would you please calm down? Your gonna me stress out with all the over protecting your doing" Zach walked up from behind her "She was fine, she was not in any danger" they looked at him then to Jess and smiled "alright" they lifted up taco bell bag "you still hungry for tacos?" Jess's eyes widen and licked her lips "Yes…" they chuckled at her "Come on let's go to the cafeteria and eat" she giggled and hooked her arms with them making them smirk and walk with her. Zach chuckled at them.
Valeriea was walking through the temple. She had sent Crissy out to gather information. She came to Alcaeus temporary room and opened the door. He was laying on the bed with his eyes staring up at the ceiling. "Al." Alcaeus sat up. "Yes?" "It's time for your lessons. I cannot send you back out unless you have some control over your new powers." Alcaeus frowned. "I know…" Valeriea walked up to him. "What is the matter." "I can feel it mother… that body of yours is dying. If I lose you then my path to Lilith and her ill breed children will grow further away. You still owe me my revenge." Valeriea chuckled. "Fear not. I plan to use the boy tonight and once Lorelei is ready then I shall take her body." "He is not compatible." "I know I will drain his life force for the time being. Then the pup can have her son back. I wish that we could have nabbed Jayden. His life force is very high. He would have perfect but no matter. Soon I won't have to worry about it."
She glanced over to see the black blade leaning on the wall. "Do you not intend to use my gift to you? It has the power of Lucifer, the former prince Sakamoto, and others. I've collected it for all these years." "I don't need it. I absorbed most of the power anyways. It's a useless blade to me." Valeriea chuckled. "I see, then give the blade to Dorian." Alcaeus frowned. "What? Why?" "That man thinks he can get the better of me. He truly thinks that I have no idea in what he is planning but in reality he is just a puppet on my strings doing my bidding. Give him the sword and meet me in the training room." She left closing the door behind her.
In another room, just under the first level of the temple there was a tank laying on the ground. A body was floating in it. A young woman walked up to it and hit a button. She had long black hair and purple eyes. She was in black tank top and blue jeans with a white coat over her. She stepped back as the lid to the tank opened. A hand came out the water and grabbed the sides. The woman bowed. "Lord Dorian the process is completed."
Dorian sat up and then stood up in his new body. His eyes opened and they were Golden yellow. He chuckled as he pulled back his long brown hair and ring the water out of it. Stepping out of the tank he wanted to a mirror. "Yes… this body is perfect. What was the name she gave it… ah yes… Kalmin… yes our son, Kalmin, hahaha." He looked back at the woman and smirked. "I must admit, I am surprised you are still alive. I thought once Xavier was don't with you he would cast you aside."
The woman frowned. "I was in hiding when he found me again. After I helped Lady Matsuri escape from her prison and helped with the awakening. I had nowhere else to go. If I returned to Xacron then I would surely be killed by King Seth or by Saki…" She squeezed her hand together. "Once he ran into the forest, I wanted no part in the dark witch plans so I ran away only to end up getting captured by you…" Dorian chuckled and grabbed a towel. He wraps it around his waist. "What is your name again and your relationship to Xavier." The woman looks up at him. "My name is Lila Mores… and Xavier is my great grandfather. He is the only family I have left now..."
Dorian walked around the room. "I see. Well now you work for me. Since Mikey and his pet left I need someone else to do my biding. I'm sure you want revenge on my dear niece. She did let Sakamoto die." Lila frowned. "No, I don't want revenge but if helping you will keep me alive then I will do it." Dorian chuckled. "I see. Then come along. The first order of business is to collect a certain item and leave this place. Now that I have a body, I no longer need that witch. I will go my own way and kill Ronnie and Oichi. Then I will claim my true place as King." His gaze darkens as he laughed.
Dorian was now wearing a black shirt with matching pants and a black overcoat. He was walking down the hall and Lila was behind him. He was heading to the training when he saw Alcaeus walking to him with the blade in hand. Dorian raised his eyebrow. "Should you be training or something boy?" Alcaeus frowned and held out the sword. "Here." "Ho? Should you be giving me this?" "I don't need not want it. I have enough power on my own. It's worthless to me." Dorian hums out. "Fine. I'll take it off your hands. It makes things easy." He took the sword from Alcaeus. "Have fun getting your own little revenge. May this be the last time we ever see each other." He walked by him with Lila. Alcaeus huffed out and headed to the training hall.
Getting out of the temple, Dorian and Lila walked down the path into the city. "Where will we go now?" She asked. "We will head back to Ravenswood. He looked down at his hand and saw his aura show and then disappear. "I would like a little more time to get this power in check but time is of the essence for me. I have a few demon acquaintances that can give me a little hand." He looks up into the sky. "Brother wait a little longer. I will not kill you just yet but I promise I will make you suffer to the point you wish you were dead."
Later that night, Ayden was lying unconscious in the middle of a magic circle. Valeriea took a deep breath. The body she was in was quickly fading. Crissy and Alcaeus were standing there watching. Valeriea's hand started to glow black as she started chanting. As she did the circle under Ayden started to pulse. The room started to fill with dark magic that shook the room. The more Valeriea chanted the harder the room shook. Her mark appeared on Ayden's forehead. He lifted off the ground as the circle under him to started to shrink and disappear. Ayden's body was turned upward and the circle appeared on his back ripping his shirt off. He floated to Valeriea. She held up her hand and placed one hand on his chin and the other on his forehead where her was.
Alcaeus and Crissy watched as Valeriea's soul left the body and entered Ayden's. His eyes opened wide as they turned black. The body Valeriea was in feel and started to age and decay. Ayden gags out as his body shakes and trembles. His body glowed black and green for a short while until he falls to the ground. Alcaeus and Crissy rushed to his side and looked down, waiting. His eyes opened. His red eyes faded and turned gray. He sat up and started to stretch. "Val? Did it work?" "It did." She says. Crissy sighs out.
Valeriea now in Ayden's body stood up. "So stiff. I can feel his soul fighting back but it won't matter in a few days. He had a strong desire to see his mother." She looked down at the beads. While in her presence the beads location was blocked. She chuckled. "I think I can help him with that. It's time I paid a little visit to the young cub."
At the hospital, Oichi was in a different room as she slept. The twins were laying in the bed on the other side of the half wall and Kaleb and Jayden were fast asleep on the couch and Orochi had yet to return.
Oichi frowned in her sleep before she opened her eyes. The girls were moving around. She rubbed her belly, calming them down. She yawns and sits up. "You girls like to keep mommy up huh." The window to the room opened. Oichi turned to it and gasp to see Ayden sitting there. "Ayden!?" She got up until a pulse hit her. The room started to warp as she felt like she was being pulled into something. The room suddenly went dim and twist. Oichi frowned and looked at the boys. They were still there but unfazed by anything.
She got up and looked at Ayden. "Ayden… what's going on. Are you unharmed?" She watched him jump down and then smirked. Oichi was then grabbed by Alcaeus. Her eyes widen and then she growled as her aura started to flare out. Alcaeus digs his claws into her stomach, freezing her in place. "Another step and I'll rip your kids out of your stomach." Oichi glared at him. "How… did you get through the barrier…what have you done to my son!" "Not your son anymore little. Cub." Oichi watched as his eyes turned gray. "Valeriea…! What…what did you do!" Valeriea chuckled. "I took his body of course. Sadly he isn't compatible with me so when I'm done with him you cane have him back." Oichi eyes flashed in anger. "I'll kill you!" She yelled out. Valeriea laughed. "How lovely. I love seeing your face twisted in anger. Just like the night your husband died. Your son wanted to see you so I wanted to grant his last wish." She held up her hand. "He isn't all that special but Jayden… now he is the one I truly want." Alcaeus digs his claws deeper into her stomach went he felt her move. "Last warning…"
Valeriea sits on the window seal. "As how we got in well, your son still has his beads and since they are connected to his nerves that can't really be removed by taking them off. Using them I granted Alcaeus access for a short time but with his dimension magic I can increase the time tenfold. To everyone around only seconds are passing by." She stretched. "I only came to deliver my message. One day I will come and finish the job. I no longer wish for just the destruction of humans. You wolves and vampires have been getting in my way for much too long. I plan to destroy all of you. So until then try not to die. Your life is mine to take." She waves goodbye. "No give me back my son!" She felt something hard hit her neck and she blacked out.
When she came to, she was back in her bed with Julian and the kids around her with worried expressions. She sat up quickly and looked around. "Ayden!" She tried getting up she felt pain in her stomach. "Oichi stop." Julian grabbed her and laid her back down. Oichi looked down to see her stomach brushed. "You feel off the bed and the kids saw blood. You need to stay still so I can check on the girls." "No! I saw Ayden! That witch! She… she…" She tears up. Her children gave her a worried look. "Ayden… did she…?" Jayden asked. "She took over his body. She going to use him. I can't sit here while my son is in danger!" Julian frowned. "I will I from the others but I'm sorry. You can't move right now." Oichi gripped her fist. Alisha and Naomi grabbed her hand and Jayden and Kaleb grabbed her other hand. "Mom calm down. We will find him…" Jayden says.
It was October 17th, Aerith's 17th birthday, golden birthday. Jess and Aerith had left around 10 in the morning. Jess was taking her somewhere special. A blue Xacron royal car that Jess and Aerith, the car stopping. Aerith blinked "Mom where are we?" Jess chuckled "you will see" she said has their driver opened the car and helped Jess out. Aerith followed and got out of the car and her eyes widen to see a luxury spar building, Aerith's eyes widen "Mom…" Jess chuckled "Come on" Aerith nodded linking arms with her and they walked over to the front doors and it opened has they walked in. Aerith was smiling looking around 'wow…' the lobby area was just amazing. Jess walking them over to the front desk and woman looked up and smiled "How can I help you?" Jess smiled "a half day spar treatment reservation for Jessica Mikcloud and Aerith Mikcloud, birthday special"
The woman smiled "Oh yes, Queen Jess, Princess Aerith. Happy 17th birthday Princess Aerith" Aerith flushed "Thank you…" the woman chuckled "alright… and you all set please follow your hostess" she said has a another woman came over wearing the spa uniform "welcome, I'm Lucy and I'll be your hostess for the day. Please follow me to the locker room so you can get changed and for your first spa treatment of the day" Jess chuckled, Aerith smiled and they followed her.
In a different city on the other side of Xacron. Angela was sitting in a Café sipping on tea waiting. She had been on the run for the last few weeks. Wilhelm was supposed to be meeting her to take her out of Xacron. She sighs as a waiter came and put down some cinnamon rolls. "Anything else?" "No that will be fine." The waiter left. Angela taps her finger on the table until someone sat down. "Sorry to keep you waiting." Angela sighs looking at Wilhelm. "Your freaking late! I've been dodging these guys for weeks! That damn fox has been on my tail and almost had me!" Wilhelm chuckled. "Sorry for that. Come along. I have everything ready." Angela nodded and followed him out the Café.
Rick and Chida walked into a the gothic jewelry store in Ravenswood, the woman at the counter smiled "Prince Chida and Prince Rick, what can I get for you today?" they smiled "We are looking for a ring for Jess" they said at the same time. The woman blinked "SO I guess the rumor is true, you three are in a sharing relationship, so I take it you are proposing to her together?" they nodded. She smiled "Well, then what are you looking for?" Chida humming "Something black" "and something green" Rick says. She chuckled "Of course, let me get the rings out and you can pick" she said walking off to find the right rings.
Wilhelm and Angela were leaving the city and heading to a small cave located in the forest next to the sea. Walking in the wall was lit by candles. "Once we reach the sea you can get on a boat and get out of here. If you use your beads then they will find you quicker." Angela nodded. They reached the end of the cave and Angela could smell the sea water. She smirked. 'I'll be back one day. Mark my words.' Walking out she gaps as stood up on cliff. "What is this? Do you expect me to jump or something!?" She spins around only to get stabbed in the chest. Her eyes widen as she coughed up blood. "What… are you..." She glanced up slow and watched as Wilhelm's face started to change into Orochi. "You… put a hit on Oichi. Your death was certain." He ripped his hand out of her chest. She fell to the ground bleeding out. She wheezes out twitching. Orochi glanced back to see the actual Wilhelm and the wolves of the Marrow clan. He frowned looking down at Angela who was dying. "It seems like our contact is over. The Marrow clan releases the hit on Lady Oichi." They disappeared. Orochi looked back down at Angela who was taking her last breath. He grabbed her. "Can't leave a body… you will become a part of me just like. Everything thing else…"
Aerith relaxed on the spa bed has she as getting a massage, she hummed in relaxation. Jess sat down o the one next to her getting her feet massaged, she smiled and hummed also "This is nice, a nice spa day" Aerith hummed with a smile "Very, thank you mom" Jess chuckled "You are welcome, after we can go dress shopping for your romantic dinner tonight with Jayden"
Aerith flushed "sounds like a good idea, how can I get a tattoo finally?" Jess blinked at her daughter and chuckled "sure, you gotta let your father do it or he will have a fit" Aerith nodded "I already know what I would love to have done" Jess smiled "I can't wait to see it get done"
In the manor, Oichi was sitting with Lily having a cup of tea. "You want me to come to the island?" Lily nodded. "Yes, I know as Queen you have duties here but while you were gone everyone played a part in keeping everything normal. Paxton took care of the meetings. Brackens kept the public from knowing too much. Terrance and Yain did amazing with security and Mikey helped with find your location. It's a seen he is back in his cell." "Yes, I should talk to him about that. He shouldn't have been able to access Rex's main core so easily. Now, why do you need me to come to the island? Surely you can't think I need a vacation." "I do think you need a vacation but no, it's about Axel. It's time that he be moved to another facility." Oichi frowned "Meaning?" Lily chuckled. "You can't hide it from me dear. I know about your super max prison you have been working on. Since you only know the location I can't go there obviously. What better way to test it then putting Axel in it?" Oichi hums out. "Alright. I'll think about it. The prison will be fully built in December so we can transport him here until then. Sounds good?" Lily smiled and nodded. "Thank you dear."
Rick and Chida sighed looking at the rings, they were amazing gothic like green rings but none of them spoke to them "there just not speaking to us" they said, the woman blinked "Well what other colors does she like? We have so many themed rings also" Chida and Rick looked at her "Theme rings?" she nodded "anywhere to anime, any kind of game, Star wars, Marvel and DC and ect" Rick and Chida looked at each other and smirked, they looked back at her "Can we see the DC theme rings?" she blinked "Oh yes of course" she said taking the rings and walking off.
Takara and Yaris were at his apartment looking up new places. "Your mom doing okay?" Takara nodded. "Yeah. Granny Lily is with her for the day. Oooo this place is by a lake!" Yaris looked at her laptop. "Mmmm yeah but the area is too small. I'd like something a bit bigger for when we start a family." Takara blushed. "Yeah…I agree. I mean it would be nice not to be move all over again if we had a baby sometime in the future." Yaris chuckled and kissed her cheek. "After our wedding we can work on that right." Takara's face got redder. "Cute." He says smiling. There was a knock at the door. Yaris got up to answer it. Opening the door, he frowned to see Tabitha. "Mom… what are you doing here?" Tabitha smiles. "I was on my way here to tell you about this cute noble girl that would be a perfect match but… word though the streets is that you are already getting married. I came to meet my new daughter in law!" She pushed past him. "Mom wait…" Yaris says sighing.
Tabitha walked and stopped to see Takara. "Why is she here!?" Takara got up. Yaris walked around and held her. "I asked Takara to marry me. This will be your new daughter in law." Tabitha eyes widen. "No." They frowned. "Mom…" "I said no! What does this whore have that can benefit you! You are half of a demi and you do not need poor genes holding you back!" Takara frowned looking down. "Mom, I don't care what you say. I love Takara and she will be my wife no matter what you say." Tabitha glared at Takara. "I said no!" She grabbed Takara making her gasp. Yaris went to grab her but Tabitha smacked him, stunning him. "You will not marry this disgusting half human slut!" She dragged Takara to the door and tossed her out. "Don't you ever show your face around MY son ever again! Do NOT forget who his father is! I will have him strike you down where you stand!" Takara shook tearing up. She got up and ran off. Tabitha huffed out and slammed the door shut.
Rick and Chida walked out of the gothic jewelry store with a sigh "Man… we didn't find anything that spoke Jess…" Chida says with a frown. Rick nodded "maybe we can go to Xacron and look?" Chida blinked "yeah that sounds like a good idea, Rex" Rex appeared "How can I help you Prince Chida and Prince Rick?" they smiled "Can you tell us of any jewelry shop in Xacron that sells engagement rings?"
Rex eyes blink. "There are 5 known popular jewelry stores within Xacron but I suggest you head to Prince Chaz's store. Statue Sanctuary. While it is not a jewelry store, he is known to make whatever you need no matter what it is. Would you like to teleport there now?" Rick and Chida nodded "yes please" they asked "alright teleporting you now" he said as he teleported Rick and Chida
They arrived in Xacron in front of a large gray building that said Sanctuary Statue. They walked in to a large organ lobby. A woman walked up to the. "How may I help you today?" Rick and Chida smiled "Where here to see Chaz" they both said at the same time.
"You're looking for Chaz?" She hums out. "I think he is in the back. You can follow me. Is there something specific you are looking for?" Rick and Chida nodded "for jewelry section for a ring" Rick said, Chida nodded "it's for our Jess"
"We do have a jewelry section but it's small. I'm sure if you request something, he can make it for you." They walked through a door that led to a jewelry section. There was a small circler glass table in the middle and stood for sitting. On the walls were more cases of jewelry. "You two can look around in here and I'll go get Chaz." They nodded and looked at the rings together "mhmm these seems pretty amazing" Rick says, Chida nodded "Not they don't speak Jess though"
The back door opened and Chaz walked out in a t-shirt and black baggy jeans. He had a blue scarf on and a dirty towel on his shoulder. "Really now… in the middle of glassblowing segment." He sighs walking to them. "So, what can I do for you two boys today." Rick and Chida smiled "Yo Chaz" "What do you need today?" Chaz asked.
"We have been all over looking for the right ring for Jess… and can't find one so we came here… do you think you can help us?" Rick asked, Chida nodded "We are planning on proposing to Jess on her birthday" "Okay if you didn't see anything in here, I can make you something. Did you have anything in mind?" He walked over to a desk and pulled out a book. "This book has all my designs in it. Some I haven't made yet." He opened the book. "If you find something you like I can make it for you." Rick and Chida blinked "Can we look through it?" "Sure there go ahead and look" they smiled and started flipping through the pages.
Jess and Aerith walked out of the spa feeling amazing "Wow mom that was so amazing!" Jess chuckled "Know lets head to the mall here, they have Oichi's shop in it and I heard there's a new line of dress's that would be prefect for Romanic dates" Aerith flushed and giggled has they walked over to the car and got in.
Oichi was in the kitchen when she heard Takara running in. She was crying. "Hunny what's wrong?" Takara ran to her hugging her. Oichi hugged her. "Did something happen with Yaris?" Takara nods. "Come on. Sit down and tell me what happen." They sat at the table. "His mom threw me out and told us that we couldn't get married. She called me a whore mom!" Takara cried mom. "I've only been with Yaris. I've never had anyone else. Why does she hate me!?" Oichi grip her fist. "She called you that and threw you out? What else did she say dear" "A disgusting half human slut…." "And what did Yaris do?" "N-Nothing… he tried to, but his mom slapped him. Oh mom what do I do!?" Oichi rubbed her back. "Don't worry sweetheart. I will take care of it personally. You and Yaris will be married just like you want. No one will come in the way of your love okay? No matter what that woman says you are a delightful and beautiful girl. Your grandmother has help raising you to be so elegant as well. A lot of people compare you to her." Takara sniffed. "Really?" Oichi smiled. "Yes sweetheart. Now go get cleaned up. I'll have a talk with Tabitha and stop this mistreat at once." Takara nodded and hugged her again. "Thank you, mom,!" She walked out the kitchen, running into Thalia. "Grandma…" Thalia smiled softly at her and kisses her forehead. Takara smiled and left.
Thalia walked up to the table. When her hand touched the table, it cracked. "Oichi dear… I don't want you to go through the trouble… allow me to speak to Tabitha. She has been working for our family for quite some time..." Oichi nodded. "Of course, lady Thalia but I will still speak to her. I'm sure someone else will love to be in the conversation as well." Thalia smiled. "Thank you dear." She walked off.
At the mall, Jess and Aerith where going through the dress's. Aerith hummed slightly 'none of these are my type of dress….' "Aerith! Over here!" she heard her mother, Aerith blinked and walked over and her eyes widen to see her mother holding up a Maxine Velvet Maxi Dress. A soft velvet Plum maxi plunges to a gorgeous strappy deep v, with slits that exude elegance. "This would be perfect, even for you amazing figure" Jess giggled. Aerith flushed "Wow… Oichi made this?" Jess nodded "It's the only one apparently and it's in your size, go try this on and I'll look for heels for you" Aerith smiled and took the dress heading over to the changing area. Jess chuckled and walked over to the heels.
Tabitha smacked Yaris. "How could you bring that hussy in here! Marry!? Don't make me laugh! I told you that you will marry a noble vampire woman! We don't need her genes in our family!" Yaris frowned holding his redden checks. "What is that look for? Are you going to hit your mother!?" She smacked him again. "Well do it! Strike me! I dare you!" She yelled at him. "You are nothing but a worthless son who can't even do one thing I ask!" She was about to hit him again until a knock was heard at the door. She sighs and storms to the door. She opened it. "What! Can't you see that I…." She gaps to see Thalia standing there with a smile. "Hello Tabitha. I would like to have a word with you and your son." "Lady Thalia… I um… me and Yaris are a bit busy." Thalia kept her smile and then gave her a serious face. "I wasn't asking you Tabitha. You will come to the manor. Now." Tabitha gulped and nodded. "Of course, Lady Thalia.
Rick and Chida flipped through ore of the pages and stopped at one "Brother this one… looks…" Chida says softly. Rick blinked and looked down at it and his eyes widen "Prefect…." "Chaz this one" they both said to him.
Chaz frowned. "You both are creepy when you speak at the same time." He took the book. "A Leaf Wedding, Engagement, Bridal Set that feature 14k Solid White Gold with Black Rudiom, Center Natural Green Emerald And White Diamonds. I have the blue print for this already. I'll have it ready by early tomorrow morning." They smiled at him "How much?" they asked. "Normally I'd charge 1,250.00 but I'll knock it down the price by 250. Since I kinda know you and all."
"You want us to pay you right away or wait until the morning?" Rick asked him. "You can pay me whenever you like so long as you pay me."
Chida whispered in Ricks ear making him blink "Oh Chaz instead of the white diamonds can you use moonstone diamonds? There super rare but they shouldn't be hard to get, they look just like regular diamonds but there magical" "I know what they are." Chaz says writing something down. "Anything else? A special made box, something engraved at the works?" They shook their heads "No not really but if you can make up some black wedding bands from Grivida black silver that would be awesome" "Sure, if that's all, be here tomorrow morning at 8 a.m. and pick up the ring." Chaz says writing on the note.
Oichi, still in the kitchen, sighs as a portal opened behind her. Orochi walked out. "Oichi." She jumped slightly and turned to him. "Yes?" "The girl Angela is dead. The Marrow clan will no longer bother you." Oichi sighs. "I see… I would say I'm upset but it is what it is." He reached down and cupped her chin. "Her death will make things easier and no blood was on your hand. You don't have to worry about it. I will kill anyone who tries to harm you. Understand." Oichi nods. "Good, now sit down. You shouldn't be on your feet." Oichi frowned. "I'm making lunch." Remember that I have Octavius memories. Everything he learned I can do." Oichi took a seat. "I see… so what will you do now?" "What kind of question is that. I will remain with you since you don't want to leave this place." Oichi twirled her hair. "Out of curiosity, where would you have taken me?" "To Japan." "Japan? Wow." "I will take you there someday." Oichi smiled. "You know… I can really sense the kindness in your voice and actions. Do… do you really care for me?"
Orochi walked to her and cups her cheeks. "I wouldn't be doing any of this if I didn't care for you. Oichi, you are the first person to see me not as a monster. Out of all my years no one has ever saw me as a regular person but you did. You think I would let such a fascinating creature…. Woman… to escape my grasp. You will be mine…I won't force you but I do care for you Oichi. No matter what anyone says. I don't plan to mess up something I may never get a chance to do again." Oichi felt her heart do flips. "Orochi… I…" He pulled away and started cooking. She rubbed her chest. She could feel her heart beating fast.
An hour went by, Jess and Aerith returned home has they see Rick and Chida teleport in the Livingroom. Jess blinked "Where did you two go?" they blinked at her "somewhere, how are you and our boys doing?" they asked her at the same time. Jess chuckled "Good, Aerith go ahead and ask your father" Aerith who was caring the dress bag smiled at her father "daddy I want you to give me a tattoo" Rick's eyes widen and looked at Jess who nodded "She has my permission" Rick looked back at Aerith and chuckled "sure sweetie, you have a design you want done?" Aerith nodded "Yes dad, I'll go get it" she said walking away.
Jess rubs her tummy "Michael! I'm hungry, can you order some Chinese?!" Michael peeking out from the kitchen smiled "Sure, the usually?" Jess nodded. Rick and Chida hugged her "We missed you babe" they said, Jess chuckled "I missed you two also" they smiled and kissed her, making her kiss them back.
At the manor, Thalia walked in with Tabitha and Yaris. She led them to the living room where Oichi was sitting next to Takara. She was texting Jess about what happened to Takara. Orochi was sitting on the other side of Takara. Yaris smiled. "Kara…" Takara got up and went to him. "Yaris!" Tabitha frowned and was about to stop her until Orochi appeared and grabbed her arm. "Touch her and you lose a arm…" She shivered at him. Takara hugged Yaris and he hugged her back. "Have a seat Tabitha. We need to talk." Oichi says. Orochi growls at her. Tabitha nods. "Of course…" Orochi let her go and took a seat next to Oichi. Takara and Yaris sat on another section of the couch. She rubbed his redden cheek.
"So…what is your deal with our children being together?" Oichi asked. Tabitha looked at Orochi who was glaring at her. "Don't worry about him. Speak freely." Tabitha sighs. "I see… I don't think our children shouldn't belong together. Look at her and look at my son. He is half Demi! He shouldn't have to marry someone who doesn't even have excellent genes! She's part human for gosh sake!" Takara frowned looking down.
"I don't see why her being half human has any reason for her and Yaris not to be together. This kingdom has destroyed those types of barriers. The only reason why you are even here now is because I allow you to be. Not because your ties with Saki's family. You continue to disrespect my daughter and even had the nerve to call her horrible things. Give me one good reason why I shouldn't have you thrown in jail for your actions!" Oichi says snapping. Tabitha frowned. "You can't do anything to me. I am under the protection of…" "The king of sea, Poseidon. Yes, but there is something that you do not know." Oichi says with a smirk.
The door to the living room opened. Yaris eyes widen to see his father, Poseidon stroll in with a light blue suit on. "Dad!?" Poseidon smiled. "Good evening. Hope I'm not late."
Jess was peeking in Rick's tattoo studio with a smile. Aerith was laying down on the tattoo chair, her hair was up in a bun has Rick was tattooing the middle of her shoulder blades. Feeling her phone vibrate, she took it out and looked it. It was a text from Oichi, she opened it and read it a frown came on her face. Chida walked over to her "babe you alright?" Jess closed her phone "Yaris's mom…. That Tabitha…." Chida frowned "you gonna go there?" Jess closed her eyes "I don't know… I don't want to make matters worse" Chida nodded hugging her gently while rubbing her tummy.
In a small mountain town near the Demyan's castle, in a small bar Jin was sitting down wearing white hoodie, black men's skinny jeans with black converse. He had a glass of whiskey "My kids… my man… all taken away from…. From that bitch…" he was half drunk "Chida…." Someone sat down next to him "glass of Vodka" the bartender nodded and started to make his drink. Jin ignored it and took another drink of his whiskey "Why so gloom Prince Jin?" Jin blinked and looked over half drunk, it was a man that was hooded "Who are you…?" the man chuckled "a local wolf my lord, so why are you so gloom?" Jin frowned looking away "my family was taken from me…." "taken what do you mean?" he said has the bartender handed him his drink "Here you go" he said and walked off.
Jin took a sip of his drink "my long time boyfriend left me and took our kids… over something that… wasn't my fault…" the man sighed "I see… what did you do?" Jin bites his lip "I was so drunk….. I didn't notice… while some wolf girl was having her way with me…" the man took a drink of his vodka "I see I think I understand, thinking you cheated he left you and took the kids but… you said they where taken away?" Jin looked down at his drink "He's in a three way relationship with Jess and his twin brother Rick…. And she's pregnant with the both of them.. some rare twin thing…"
"I see… The queen of Witches, seems like she's always getting in people's way" he said, Jin turned to him "What do you mean…?" the man sighs "She took my son from me and had him get killed…." Jin frowned at this "Who was your son…?" the man took a sip of his vodka "I would rather not talk about it…." Jin looked away "I see…" then the man touched his hand making Jin jump and looked at him "why don't we go somewhere?" Jin blushed and blinked "I…don't think…" he felt a full to him he didn't understand but he gave in "okay…" the man chuckled and took out some money and put in on the table and getting up, Jin got up and followed him.
Poseidon was looking around the room. "Lady Oichi, my condolences on the death of your husband, but congratulations on your pregnancy. It seems he was able to leave you something wonderful. How many this time?" "Four. It seems like your potion will only let me have 2 or more." Poseidon chuckled. "Yes, I can still see the full effect of it." He looked at Orochi and frowned. "Do tell me why this beast is in the same room." He held up his hand and it started to glow blue. Orochi glared at him. "You want…" Oichi linked her arm with his. "Please don't worry about him." She says interrupting him. "Please trust me that he is tamer and more docile now." Orochi frowned and kissed her on the cheek making her blush. Poseidon studied this and sighs. "Very well. For now, I'll allow him in my presence."
Looking at Thalia he chuckled. "Lady Thalia, beautiful as ever. Are you still single?" Thalia chuckled. "Still? I never was single my lord. My husband will always have my heart. Luckily he is with our son at the moment." He looked at Tabitha who smiled and crossed her legs. "My dearest lov…" Poseidon turned his head to look at Takara. Tabitha frowned at his. 'He… ignored me!'
He smiled brightly. "Takara! I knew you would have grown into a beautiful girl! If only I was a thousand years younger, I would make you my wife." Takara blushed. "Um… thank you? I think?" Yaris frowned and held her close to him. "She's going to be my wife, you perverted sea demon." Poseidon laughed. "I know. I know. It makes me equally happy that you two are getting married." Takara blinks and gasps. "I remember you! When I was a baby!" "On your birthday in fact. I came over to inform your mother that she was having the boys. I remember you happily walking up to me with the cutest smile on your face! At that moment I knew you be such a beautiful soul." Takara giggled.
"Now, what has brought me here today? For a blessing?" He asked. Oichi smiled. "That would be wonderful but it's about um… your lover? Tabitha?" Poseidon rubbed his chin and sat next to Yaris. "Tabitha… Tabitha… no… don't know any Tabitha. I usually forget one-night stands." Tabitha frowned biting her lip. She stood up. "Me! I'm Tabitha! Your lover from years ago! Yaris is our son! How could you forget me!" Poseidon looked her up and down. "Oh… Tabby… the vampire noble. Right… right… it was such a night I forgot. After I left I had more one-night hitters. I only heard one of them had my kid and I put them under my protection and all that stuff." Tabitha looked hurt. "So you didn't even remember me? How you said you loved me! How I was the only one!?"
Orochi chuckled. "Idiot." Oichi nudges him to be silent. Poseidon shrugs. "I say that to a lot of women. Moving on to important matters. Why are you against my son marrying Takara." "Because she has human blood! Why would you want to taint your bloodline with such a inferior species!" Takara frowned. "And?" She looked up in shock at Poseidon. "What is wrong with her being half human. Clearly, she loves Yaris and see no bad intentions in her like I do with you. So again, I ask, what is the problem?" Tabitha frowns. "It's just that there are many other options for our son! Why settle with someone like her!" Poseidon hums out. "You may be right but, can't you see how they are in love? You know what forget it. I don't have time to be bothered with you." He snapped his fingers and a collar appeared around her neck. A large bubbled covered her head. She panicked trying to get it off. "Takara and Yaris will be married and that is that. My word is final. As punishment for irritating me, you will be out pack mule today." He gets up. "Come on you to. Let's go shopping. We need to celebrate!" Takara looked at Oichi who nodded. Poseidon headed to the door and Tabitha was dragged along as the bubbled pulled her. Takara and Yaris, hand in hand, walked after him. Thalia chuckled and got up. "Well I didn't get to snap her neck like I wanted but I think this is a fitting punishment." She leaves the room. Oichi sighs and leans back. "That woman…she gets on my nerves. I'm tired." Orochi stood up and picked her up. "Then let's go to bed." "F-Fine but I sleep alone." Orochi smirked. "Whatever you say…"
A door of an apartment opened, Jin and the man he might at the bar walked in. Jin looked around, it was a nice size studio apartment "Nice studio you have" the man chuckled and closed the door locking putting his keys on the key holder "Thank you Prince Jin, please have a seat and I'll put some coffee on" Jin blinked "didn't you invite me here to uhmmm…" the man looked at him and chuckled "if you wanna skip to that I'll be happy too" he said taking Jin's hand and walked him over to the bed area. Jin was flushing and took off his hoodie and started to undress. He looked at the man and flushed at his naked body, he had turned Jin blinked 'he's rather… handsome looking…' "Oh… I never knew your name…." he smiled at Jin "It's Cal" Jin blinked "Cal? That's a nice name" Cal chuckled stepped over to Jin cupping his face "This you're your first time with another man?" Jin blushed and nodded softly "yeah…. I was always with Chida… and I was always the top…" Cal chuckled "I don't do bottom Prince Jin" Jin flushed has he was pushed down gently.
He kissed Jin, pushing his tongue in his mouth. Their tongues danced around fighting for dominance until Cal won. Jin moans as he felt Cal's tongue explore his mouth. His lower body rub up against Jin's making him shiver. He felt a Cal's hard on rubbing against him. A bit of excitement rush through Jin. Cal says kissing down Jin's neck. Jin holds his breath as he sees Cal reach over to the nightstand taking out some lube, squeezing some on his fingers he coated himself and then rubbed some on Jin's hole making Jin jump slightly. Cal chuckled and went in between his legs, Jin flushed "Cal…" Cal chuckled "I'll be gently with you, at first…" Jin turned red.
Hours went by and it was 5pm, at Jess's the door bell rang. Michael answered the door and smiles to see Jayden wearing a Slim Fit Black Men's Jacket Floral Embroidered Formal Classic Design Long Sleeve, black slim pants and shoes. "Welcome Jayden, come on in. Aerith is still getting ready" Jayden nodded and walked in. Michael closed the door and guided him to the living room area. Klaus, Rick and Chida where both sitting there watching TV. Rick turned to Jayden and got up, he walked over to him "I hope you will treat my daughter good tonight" Jayden Ignored him and went to take a seat and waited.
Jess walked around the corner and smiled "Jayden" Jayden looked at her and smiled "Auntie" Jess chuckled and moved aside has Aerith walked from around the corner wearing her new dress, black toe heels with a silver vintage necklace with a purple amethyst crystal in the middle. Her make up was done perfectly and her hair was down in an amazing hairstyle. She flushed "Jayden" Rick and Chida flushed at her "she looks so gorgeous in that dress" Chida says, Rick nodded "looks so much like her mother when Jess wears something like that" Jess chuckled "I know right?"
"Hey, you look great." Jayden says with a smile. Aerith smiled and stepped over to him "Oh I have something to show you" she turned has she moved her hair slightly away from her back-shoulder blades and Jayden's eyes widen to see a tattoo. It was a purple rose with black delicate lace, dripping jewels. "Cool tat. Ready to go?" He asked. Aerith nodded and he took her arm, Jess giggled "Have fun you two!" Klaus nodded "yeah show my sister a good time" Chida chuckled "have fun" Rick crossed his arms "have fun" Jayden nodded and they left the house.
Didn't take them long but they walked into a restaurant called Carbone, it was branch that has two, one in Las Vegas and one in New York. Walking in Jess smiled at the designee "wow this place is amazing" Jayden chuckled and walked them over to the front desk. A waitress smiled "you have reservations?" "Yes, under Yamamoto."
"I see… oh yes" she grabbed two menu's "This way" she said walking away, Jayden and Aerith followed her through the busy areas of the restaurant. Walking into the large area with booths and at the back was red private booths with curtains. Walking them back by the private booths "Here you are" she said taking the reserve stand off the table. Aerith smiled and slid it, Jayden slid in also. The waitress smiled and put the menu's down "I'll let you look and come back, please enjoy" she said and walked off. Aerith smiled looking at the drinks "what you gonna get for a drink?" "Just water." Aerith smiled "sounds good" The waitress returned "have you decided?" Jayden nodded "water only" she nodded and wrote it down then looked at Aerith "and for you miss?" Aerith smiled "sounds good" The waitress returned "have you decided?" Jayden nodded "water only" she nodded and wrote it down then looked at Aerith "and for you miss?" Aerith smiled "the blue raspberry mint lemonade" the waitress nodded and wrote it down "For appetizers?" "Half bread sticks and half mozzarella sticks" Jayden says "you need more time for your main meal" Jayden looked at Aerith who nodded "Yes" the waitress nodded "I'll return with your drinks" she walked away.
Aerith chuckled "This place is amazing Jayden, thank you for bring me here" she reached out and took his hand. "Anything for the birthday girl." He says smiling. Aerith giggled and kissed his cheek "you're the best boyfriend ever" "I try." He says chuckling.
The waitress came back over with their drinks "One water and one blue raspberry mint lemonade" Aerith smiled "Thank you" she took a sip of it "Mhmm so yummy" the waitress chuckled "I'll be back with your breadsticks and mozzarella sticks" she walked away. Aerith smiled and leaned on Jayden taking out her phone, Jayden blinked and chuckled as she poses in a romantic cuddle and she took a picture of them. Aerith giggled and posted right away.

In Xacron, Deerward, in teen form, was looking up at the sky. Near his statue. Every now and then random citizens would come and pray to him. Balaji appeared beside him. "a penny for your thoughts?" Deerward hums. "Maybe. I feel a sense of how to say… concern… about Oichi" Balaji sighs "Isn't that a negative emotion. Shouldn't you just block her out or something?" "The girl can't live forever." "I can say the same about you and Naomi and no concern isn't a negative emotion." He sits down as grass and flowers grew around him. "I just have a bad feelings. It's one I haven't felt in a very long time. Not since Lady Lily's husband died that faithful day." Balaji hums out. He looks up at the sky and a feeling of dread washed over him. He shivered. "What the hell did you do to me stupid deer!" Deerward yawned. "Nothing. You are growing as a guardian. You could sense something was wrong." Balaji sits down. "Whatever… so what do you think or rather… what do you know?" "… that in December, a critical decision will be made that will change the fate of some people."

"Can you teleport me and Michael to Halloween street fair?" "Yes, do you wish to be teleported near Lady Oichi?" Jess nodded.
When they there teleported they appeared in the courtyard of the festival, right near a performance. Michael had to quickly move Jess out of the way before they bumped into her. Jess frowned looking around for Oichi but she wasn't anywhere to be seen. "Rex…?" Rex appeared. "She moves quite quickly. Sometimes it's hard to keep up with her movements.

Frank then brought over another box and opened and Oichi's eyes widen "Look at all those pudding cups! What the hell! DAD you brought something I can't eat! The girls don't like my favorite treat" Jess frowned "They don't?" Frank eyes widen and smiled brightly "You called dad" Oichi narrowed her eyes with a slight blush.

"No, you got that kiss ass angel Michael and a half breed one right over there who will freely do your bidding." Orochi says with a blank look. Oichi sighs. "Can you at least try? Or at least switch back to Octavius?" "He and I are the same so that will be a waste of time. If the girl was unable to get it for herself, I may not have mind it but I would have still said no." Oichi rubbed her face. "We are going to have to work on your people's skill…" then they jumped when Jess hit the table glaring at Orochi, Oichi sighs "jess calm yourself.

He closed his eyes and shakes his head. "Stay out of trouble and Lord Lucifer won't make any moves against you yet. So behave yourself." "Tell Lucifer to…" "Okay! Moving on." Oichi says stopping Orochi's threat. "Send Lord Lucifer my thanks. He will behave so long as he is with me."
She looked at Orochi and takes a deep breath. "Orochi… h-hunny…" His eyes widen slightly. "Could you go win me a prize from the stands? I want um… oh! I want big stuff puppy! Can you get that for me? Please?" Orochi's face softens at her and he smiles slightly. Danni was taken off guard that she dropped her lobster on a stick. Ross was also shocked by this. "What the he…" Kaci covered his mouth shutting him up. Jess's eyes widen at this, Dawn stared at that soft smile. Delica blinked 'he smiled….'
"Fine…" He says returning to his blank look. He walked away from the group. "See. He isn't all bad. He isn't use to being around kind people. Once he gets back, he will apologize to Aerith. Or at least try to… I'm sure you can understand that he doesn't have people skills and why…He's been treated like a beast for years… and it's not helping that you and every other demon, among others, keep calling him that." Adrian crossed his arms. "That expression was surprising. Lord Lucifer suspects that maybe you can tame him… but… if he gets out of line he will be coming to hell and sealed inside a new prison." Oichi nodded and smiled. "Tell Lord Lucifer I said thank you…"
Later on, Orochi was still out trying to find a game with a large puppy plush.

They chuckled at him
Terry looked at Oichi who was in a bit of a daze. "You good Oichi?" She blinks slowly "Yeah. I'm fine. Just tired." Terry chuckled. "Then maybe some news will cheer you up. King Seth is out on a date." Oichi looked at him "No way…" Terry smiled. "Yeah! He looked like he was enjoying himself even though he wasn't smiling." Oichi smiled. "aw! That's wonderful news!" Zach chuckled "Well it's about time he went on a date with someone" he said sat down taking Roxas bouncing making him babble. Jareth walked over to Danni "Aunt D!"

Just then Oichi jumped and saw a large bear beside her. She blinks and her eyes sparkled. "Whoa…" Orochi appeared beside it with a sigh. "This place has to many booths…" Oichi giggled and grabbed the side of large Bear head. "It's so cute! I love it! Thank you!" Orochi chuckled. "It's a treat to see you smile like that for me." Oichi blushed and looked away. Ross felt so weird watching Orochi smile. It wasn't a bad weird feeling but deep down he felt that it was true smile. He shivered. 'Never thought I would think about him in that sort of light…'
Whenever one was done eating, Jess had her eyes closed and Frank put down the cake box in front of her, he unboxed making everyone's eyes widen "Alright open your eyes" Jess's eyes opened and she gasped. Black Cat cake with Green eyes "Wow! Frank!" Aerith giggled "that looks so yummy!" Dawn and Delica smiled "Wow!" Kaci smiled "looks amazing!" Zach chuckled. Rick and Chida grinned "Wow frank" Azaya and Bella stared at it and smiled "wow Frank that looks so yummy!" Rose on Zane's lap who wouldn't let go of her she giggled "Mhmm I made it just in time for cake!" Oichi was stuffing her face full of meat. "Looks good. Good job Frank."
After the cake, Jess was rubbing her tummy "Mhmm the boys loved it!" Rick and Chida chuckled and her.

Aerith stood up has the same with Klaus, Aerith giggled and skipped over "Yay!" Luna and Miles got up with bright smiles and rushed over "yay!" Bella, Azaya and Rose giggled "Congrats auntie!" they shouted. Oichi smiled at them.
Then hearing glass shattered everyone look to see Jin standing near with widen eyes at this "No… you can't… Chida…" Miles and Luna frowned "Dad…. Why are you here…?" they asked. Chida frowned." Why are you here?!" Jin frowned "I… was hoping we could talk…" Chida frowned at him even more "No… Jin I don't want to be with you anymore… just by smelling you I ca tell you been sleeping with one… really?!" Jin bites his lip and growls "you're the one that should look! You've been sleeping jess and YOUR FUCKEN BROTHER! Disgusting!" Rick's eyes widen his anger, Chida bites his lip "leave" Jess frowned stepping back. Kaci stood up, Oichi was frowning at this.
Jin narrowed at Jess "This is your fault… you bitch I'll get you for this!" he rushed off in werewolf speed. Oichi sighs. "Rex… teleport Jin home and deactivate his beads. Remove them and bring them back to me. For now, I do not want him in Xacron or on the island." Her bracelet beeps." "Yes ma'am." He says disappearing.
Jin running and running when his beads glowed making him stop, Rex appeared. "On the orders of Queen Oichi you will transported to you home, your access to Xacron will be denied."
Jin was teleported in the snow lands near the castle "there's a barrier around this land not even you can teleport inside the castle!" "I am aware. I do not need to teleport you in your castle. The beads shall be removed and you will no longer be able to enter Xacron. Farewell." the beads disappeared and he bites his lip, turning around he look up at the mountain area and bites his lip, sighing with his werewolf speed he rushed to the nearby mountain town.
Didn't take long for Jin to be in front of Cal's apartment door, tears where going down his face. He knocked softly, he waited but the door soon opened and Cal opened the door in pajama pants with no shirt, wet hair with a towel over his shoulder. Cal blinked "prince Jin…?" then he noticed the tears down his face "You must be freezing come on" he grabbed Jin's hands and pulled him in the room closing the door, Jin removed his shoes and let Cal pull him over to the couch, Cal sat down next to him "Prince Jin what happen?" Jin sniffed "I made things worse… I walked in on Rick and…. Chida proposing to Jess… she said yes… their getting married… I snapped called Chida's three-way relationship disgusting and called Jess a bitch…" tears went down his face "Oichi… removed my beads… I'm not allowed in Xacron anymore…. Maybe I was out of line" Cal blinked at him, he sighed 'he was slightly….' "you were a little bit… but I know your hurting Jin and I'm sorry Chida wont take you back…" Jin sniffs "Cal I don't know what to do" Cal cupped his face making Jin look at him, Jin blinked at him. Cal smiled "I can help you take revenge with the queen of witches and get your Chida back" Jin looked at him more "H-How…." Cal's smile turned into a smirk that made Jin froze "in due time my lovely wolf" Jin gulped but Cal moved forward and smashed their lips together tongue battling kiss. 'he's all mine know' Calcifer grinned mentally.
After the ordeal with Jin, Oichi left the others and headed to Sakamoto's grave. She had Jin's beads in the process of being destroyed. She wanted, needed some alone time. She placed her hand on his coffin. "Saki… Jess is getting married to both Rick and Chida. Lucky her right… to find two men who care deeply for her." She sighs. "Jin came and ruined the moment but I think it's okay now. I hope." She sinks down to her knees and sighs out. "Ah, lately my feelings for Tavis… or rather Orochi has been growing. I miss you and I feel like I'm betraying you but… would it be okay to give into my feelings?" She lays down on the ground. "Would you be happy if I moved on so soon?"
Weeks went by and it was November 12th, Klaus's 15th birthday. Most of the day Klaus slept because he barely got any sleep because of studying for tests. Jess peeked in his room "He's still sleeping.." Rick and Chida next to her "You want us to wake him up?" they asked, she smiled and nodded "go on" they chuckled and walked in Klaus's dark room. Stepping over to his bed "Klaus wake up" Klaus groaned "five more minutes…. Dad" Rick and Chida blinked and smiled at him "Naomi will be over soon" Klaus's eyes opened and sat up with a sleepy face "Soon….?" They nodded "you have been asleep for most of the day, it's almost 5pm… get up and take a shower" Klaus yawned "alright" Rick and Chida chuckled leaving the room. Jess smiled "about time" they winked at her and walked away.
Alisha was washing Naomi's hair in their bathroom. In their shared room the gifts she had for Klaus was sitting on the bed. "Your outfit is already." Alisha says giggling. She shampoos and rises her hair. Alisha sniffed her and hums out. "Mmm you smell like peaches today! You must be really happy to see Klaus." Naomi blushed. "Shut up. Hurry and finish. I don't want to be late…" Alisha giggled more and dried her hair out. "What style you want. You haven't cut your hair for the last two months." "Just a ponytail and a bang to the side." Alisha nodded. "You got it sis! I'll make you look super pretty!"
Jess sighed has Michael was helping her in a maternity Royal green velvet gown, there was a green crown on her head "Who would just up and request a meeting?" Michael shrugged "Who knows, you all set" you want me to company you?" "No Rick and Chida will" Rick and Chida got up and walked over wearing royal suit "she will be alright with us" He nodded and stepped away. Rick and Chida stepped to her taking her hands making her smile "come on lets go" she smiled and nodded "Rex" Rex appeared "what can I do for you Queen Jess?" Jess smiled "Can you teleport us to the castle in Xacron please?" "Of course Queen Jess" he said and teleported them.
When they arrived, they appeared in front of the castle doors. The guards in front were wearing different attire than usual. A dark blue military shirt and pants to match. Looking around they noticed that there were a lot of military people walking around. Some were in different uniforms then the others. Some look like they had just graduated from high school. Reaching the door, the guards bowed as some of the solders gasps and whisper, seeing Jess. On the right one of the guards was a bulky gray and blue gauntlet. The doors open for her, Rick, and Chida and they walked in and headed to the meeting room.
They ran into Paxton and Bracken who were in their regular attire. They saw Jess. "I guess asking who requested this meeting will do no good?" Paxton asked. Jess shook her head "No" Rick and Chida nodded.
He sighed. "The military academy is visiting today, Oichi has back to back meetings with the noble vampires and the tribes of wolves about the Marrow clan then suddenly that weird request pops up and sent her schedule out of order. We are on the way to finish those meetings and she headed to her room to change. I'm sure you don't need to be escorted to the meeting room right?" "no I'll be alright, I have Rick and Chida to escort me, thank you Paxton for offering" Rick and Chida smiled at him "We got her" "Have fun…" Bracken says walking off with Paxton.
Reaching the meeting room, they walked in to see Jackal fixing tea and bite size snacks for Oichi. He smiled at them. "Welcome and take a seat. If there is anything you need let me know. Lady Oichi will be here as soon as she can." Jess smiled and sat down, Rick and Chida sat down next to her. Jackal looked at Rick and Chida "I take it you are here for your father?" Rick and Chida nodded "He's busy at work" "I see."
The door opened and Seth walked in with his royal attire and his crown in his hand.. He had a blank expression on his face as he took a seat. "A cup of tea Jackal." Jackal chuckled poring him a cup. "Are you in bad mood?" He handed him a cup. "I am. I don't like being requested without know who it is. Nor the nature of it. This had better be a very important discussion." He sips his tea. Jess sighs "Me too, it's my son's birthday today" she pouted
Minutes later, Oichi walked in wearing a dark blue maternity dress, her blue crown, and black flats. She had an exhausted look on her face. Orochi was beside her with a frown on his face. Her arm was looped in his as he helped her to the head of the table. She sighs out as she sat down. "Tea please…" Jackal nodded. "A snack as well?" "In about 5 minutes…" "yes, can I have a my cup filled with O negative blood?" Rick handed him Jess's cup she always uses when she is pregnant. IT was black 'witches potion' cup. Jackal nods and fills her cup up and handed it back to Rick. "If you need anything else just let me know."
At Jess's. Klaus was just getting down dress when he heard a knock on his door, he walked over and opened it seeing Naomi who was holding a large gift bag. He smiled brightly "Naomi!"
"Hey Klaus. Happy birthday!" he chuckled and let her walk in and he closed the door. He sat down and she sat down next to him with her gift. She smiled. "I made you a lot of things. I think I got a little carried away though." Klaus blinked and started to go through the bag "Ooo what did my lovely Naomi get me" He pulled out a red handmade blanket and a pillow to match. "Those are made from a special material. When you wash it, it won't shrink or get worn-out. It's extra soft to. The only thing you have to worry about is that it captures scents. S-So if it smells like peaches from time to time… that's my fault…" Klaus chuckled "I think love them" he kissed her making her giggle.
Under the blanket and pillow were crochet dolls of game characters. "I'm sorry. I don't know much about video gaming and stuff. So I just made a bunch of them that I saw online and stuff…" he gasped "Wow! Naomi these are amazing!" Klaus smiled brightly and tackled her with hug "I love you!" She smiled hugging him back. "I love you to. I'm really happy you like them."
In Xacron in the meeting room, Jess was sipping her blood in cup. "Mhmm the boys are happy" Seth chuckled at her and felt her tummy "have you given them names yet?" Jess blinked "No not really…. Where still thinking" Rick and Chida nodded "We have a month after this to go so we will think of some names" the doors open and they look to see Demyan walk in wearing his royal gold and Blue suite and a crown on his head.. Jess was blinking at him "Demyan…?" Rick was frowning at him. Chida frowned and looked away. Seth sighs. Oichi sips her tea. Orochi frowned until Oichi grabbed his arm.
Demyan bowed down in his knee's "Queen Oichi… Queen Jess… I'm sorry for my son did… please I beg your forgiveness and mercy on him… Queen Jess please… this isn't like him to act like this…" Jess closed her eyes "is this the reason why you summoned us here? Is to ask forgiveness for how your son treated me? He threated me Demyan… that's consider an act of war…" Demyan frowned "I know… I understand why Chida broke up with him and wont take him back.. I also was not happy on what happen between that wolf girl… I will not judge on your three way relationship with Rick and Chida"
Jess opened her eyes and stood up making Rick and Chida frown "Jess… wait…" Jess walked over to Demyan "King Demyan…. I will consider in not starting a war with you if you disown your son" Chida's eyes widen "Wait what….?" Rick took Chida's hand holding it make Chida look at him and Rick nodded "trust in her"
"King Demyan, I do not hate your son… Jin… we went to school together and we where friends.. until he is gets over this he will be disowned" Jess says to him, Demyan bites his lip and sighs softly "I understand… I will do as you ask" Orochi sighs. 'What a waste of time…' Seth frowned. "Don't tell me that you request this meeting for that… this is a particular situation that does not concern me. So can you explain why I was needed for this?" Jess walked back to her seat and say down "Please King Seth, he was just worried that a war would start and he has nothing to fear from us" Rick however growled "Oh yeah? Nothing to fear? Jin said nasty things to me and to you because we have chida! I'm not happy with this!" Chida frowned squeezing his hand "brother please…." Seth crossed his arms. "War or no war I did not need to be apart of this meeting." He shook his head. 'I can't believe I left my date for this…' Oichi sighs rubbing her stomach.
"Demyan please stand up already" Jess said, Demyan stood up "Please stop worrying, the actions of your son was not your fault…. Please King Demyan we are still good friends, even through Regina we are still close friends and the truce between us is still there. Your beads are still on your wrist so that means the truce is still here" Demyan nodded softly "Thank you Queen Jess"
Demyan bowed and left the room. Rick and Chida sighed and got up "Well it think that's all so can we go home know?" Rick asked. A guard came in and bowed "Forgive me Queens, King and Princes… someone else has request a meeting with only the Queens" Jess blinked "Wait who?" Rick and Chida frowned at this "I do not know… he didn't not say his name but he looks like a very high noble vampire…" Oichi rubbed her head. A headache was forming. "Fine bring him in…"
Rick, Chida and Seth have not yet left has a very handsome man with black hair and piercing red eyes. He was wearing a gothic noble black suit with a noble lord shoulder jewel. Seth's eyes widen feeling this familiar aura, it made him get up fast, Rick and Chida felt something about him that made their bodies shake. Jess blinked at him 'I wonder who he is…' Oichi frowned looking at their reactions.
The man bowed "Queen Oichi, Queen Jess, it's an honor to finally meet you" Seth bites his lip, the man looked at Seth, Rick and Chida "leave us" he said, Seth gulped and left the room quickly with Rick and Chida. Jess frowned "I'm sorry.. but who are you?"
He chuckled "Forgive me, I'm Count Vladislaus Dracula" Jess's eyes widen "D-Dracula….?" Oichi blinks. 'Dracula?'
Dracula chuckled "I have been a sleep for many thousand of years, I was woken by lady Selena" Jess blinked "so you aren't a myth wow" Dracula chuckled "your the reincarnation of Regina" Jess blinked and nodded Dracula smiled "I hope my truce with her is still in affect still….?" Jess blinked "I don't know.. I would have to look in the archives… uhm you're the first vampire Selena created…. That's means…" Dracula grinned "Yes, every vampire has no choice to obey me much like Selena, to her I'm still the emperor of all the vampires" Oichi sighs mentally right as Jackal put some snacks beside her. "You requested a meeting. If you wish to speak to Jess alone then I will leave you to it. I don't wish to impose on whatever history you had with Regina back in those times." Dracula laughed "Oh no Queen Oichi, I wish to speak with you both, has the emperor of all vampires Selena wishes for me to sign the treaty" Jess blinked and looked at Oichi "Sis I think letting him sign is wise… I don't think it would be a good idea to deny him to sign…"
Oichi sighs. "Rex…pull up a digital copy of the treaty from your data banks." In the middle of the table the center flipped over and a file of the treaty appeared. Jackal held up a wand pen and held it out to Dracula. "You can sigh it digitally with that pen on the lines under everyone else's names." Oichi says. Dracula blinked "mhmm technology sure has come along through the years I have slept" he chuckled and signed his name "thank you Queen Oichi" he bowed, Jess stood up "your welcome Lord Dracula…" Dracula chuckled and with his speed he hold jess's hand making her eyes widen and he kissed the back of it "your are welcome my queen" he said and left the room. Jess felt fluttered and sat down waving herself with her hand "wow the stories of him are true… woman are just drawn into his gaze…." "Sure…" Oichi says shaking her head and eating her snack.
Out of the hallway, Seth, Rick and Chida stood there. Dracula appeared next to them, they trained up and bowed "Lord Dracula… I thought you were a sleep…" Seth says, Dracula chuckled "Selena woke me up, Seth how have you been?" "Fine, mostly."
"Mhmm I see, I was told on what have been happing to your family. Maybe soon, I would like to have a nice chess game with you and Zach" he said and disappeared in a rare vampiric portal which only he possess. Rick and Chida gulped "So that was Dracula… my blood is still bowling…."
Seth sighs. "I'm leaving…" He took his leave. Rinko walked up and walked into the meeting room. "Lady Oichi? I assume the meeting is over?" Oichi nodded. "Paxton needs a hand with the meeting with the Wolf clans." Oichi nods. Orochi frowned. "You need rest." "I will after I finish these meetings." With his help, she got up off the chair. "Well, I'm off Jess. Careful going home."
weeks went by and it was November 29th and Rose's birthday, it was after school hours and Rose was with her class making the cyberpunk maid café ready for the schools festival that was coming up. Gently putting up a wall that was made. Rose and the others backed up "Wow I hope our café will get the best marks!" Rose chuckled "Aerith's class is doing a maid café also, so I hope we can beat them" her class chuckled. "Rose, Zane is here" Rose turned and smiled at Zane. Zane chuckled "you almost done?" Rose nodded and walked off to help with he 2nd wall. The girls giggled at him "It sucks he's taken…" they muttered.
At the hospital, Marie was laying on the bed with her 5-month belly exposed. She was getting a ultrasound today. Ty was holding her hand. While Julian got everything ready a portal opened and Nysa and Ross walked out. "Mom…Bro… or rather sister now…what are you two doing here." Nysa walked up to her. "Well I've been trying to keep in touch with my grandchildren but you know how your father is. I can only come here so many times. If it wasn't for Ross, we would be in the process of making baby number 3." Marie giggled. "Papa plans on having a kid each year or something?" Nysa sighs. "Who knows." Shrugging shoulders, Ross walked over and put an arm over Ty's shoulder. "So! Let's see the gender!" Ty shook his head. Julian came back and put some jell on Marie's belly. He rubbed the wand around as they looked at the screen. Ross spotted it first. "Look, a girl!" Marie's face lit up. "Yay! A little princess! Pictures Julian please!" Julian chuckled at her. Ty kissed her forehead. "I guess, now we can start decorating a room."
Rose and Zane walked through the school hallways holding hands "So I get to see you in a maids outfit soon, awesome I'm looking forward to that" Rose blushed "you gonna stalk me during that day and scare away the boy customers? We really wanna win class attraction this year…" "No… probably. I promised Oichi I wouldn't cause to much trouble. So who knows." Rose giggled "So where you taking me?" "Home first so you can change, I'm taking out for dinner" Zane says. Rose smiled brightly "Ooo a romantic dinner" "Yeah something like that." Zane says chuckling.
Jayden walked into the class of his class and looked around at the work everyone was doing, it was a game theme maid café. "Wow this is going really well" the girls where saying "Where's Aerith?!" one shouted "This isn't right!" "She's trying on the maid outfit" one of the girls said. Kaleb sighed whipping his forehead. "I hate this… I'd rather be in the library reading…" Jayden chuckled at him and turned to see Naomi and Alisha running passed the door making him blink, he stepped out "girls what you running?!" they stopped and he sees a sowing kit in their arms "Aerith's cosplay ripped not now brother!" they shouted and rushed off to the girls locker room.
The girls walking in the room and closing it, they see Aerith in her maid outfit and the skirt part was ripped showing her undies. Aerith pouted "thank god you two are here! One of the girls made this and it just started to fall apart!" Naomi shook her head. "I told you that if you need clothes then come to our fashion club! This is a waste of material and hard work." Alisha poked Naomi. "Calm down sis. Let's just fix it and hurry back. We have other stuff to do."
At Frank and Danni's Condo in Xacron, Frank was in the kitchen making dinner. Zane was in the living room wearing one of his dads tuxedo's which looked really good on him. Adaline was asleep in her rocker, Zane smiled down at her. Hearing footsteps on the stairs he turned and looked has his mother walked down and smiled as Rose walked in in a stunning Pink Orchid glitter gown with matching heels, her make up was done perfectly and matched the color of her dress. Rose smiled "Zane.." He smiled. "Hey, you look amazing." Rose giggled walking over to him, he took her hands and kissed her cheek. Danni snapped a picture "remember to show her a good time son" Frank said, Danni nodded "Where are you taking her?" she asked. "Out to eat. You old bat." Danni sighs. "Why do I even bother having a conversation with you. Have fun." She says walking off.
At the school, Naomi and Alisha sighed "We can't fix this! Aerith we have to make you it, luckily the festival isn't gonna start for four days that's just enough time" Aerith sighed "I didn't let her make it, she just made and told me to try it on… and she is from the fashion club… I think she's new or something… I mean she used the wrong thread…. I think her name was Cella"
"It's whatever." Alisha says. "Mistakes were made but it's nothing serious to get upset about. We have backups for things like this as well." Naomi sighs and nodded. "At least we can use this for other projects so it's not a waste."
Zane and Rose walked into a Restaurant Frank told Zane about, it was a place he took his mother a lot too. It was an aquarium restaurant called 'The Open Ocean' it was known for their famous seafood dishes. Rose smiled at the place "Wow…" the front area had amazing statue in the middle of the room with pillars. Walking up to the front desk "Valkyrei, party of two" the man nodded and typed in his laptop "Oh yes, Gina!" the waitress walked over and flushed at Zane "hello please follow me" she walked away and they followed her. Following through a golden tunnel they reached the dining area, Rose's eyes widen "wow..!" it was a large aquarium right in front of her. Zane chuckled and followed the waitress to a table with two chairs right next to the aquarium. Zane pulling the chair out for Rose making her giggle and she sat down, Zane pushed her in and sat down "So what can I start you off with?"
"Water for me." Zane says. Rose smiled "the strawberry lemonade" the waitress nodded and walked off. Rose smiled and looked at the Aquarium "wow it's so beautiful" she said has a shark swam passed them making Rose smiled brightly. "Yeah. It's cool." Zane smiled at her "Very beautiful" Rose blinked and looked at him with a blush "me or the fish?" "Would be weird if I was taking about a fish."
Rose giggled "oh you!" the waitress walked back with their drinks putting them down "Anything before main meal?" Rose looked at the menu "Mhmm hun can we get the shrimp cocktail dish?" Zane chuckled "Yeah that sounds good" the waitress nodded and wrote it down walking away. Rose took a sip of her drink "Mhmmmm" Zane chuckled "Dad takes mom here a lot, she had record of eating so many lobsters" Rose giggled "Sounds like auntie" Zane stood up "I'll be right back, bathroom" Rose smiled "alright" he walked away.
Rose sitting by herself has the waitress walked back over with their shrimp "Here you go… you must be lucky in dating him" Rose blinked at her "yes I'am very lucky to have him in my life" the waitress tired not to frown 'seems to be a waist on this girl' she walked away. Rose sighed and took a shrimp eating it "Mhmmmm"
Zane walking back he stopped to see some men where looking at Rose with lust in their eyes "A high school student, she looks yummy lets go over to her and show her a good time with a real man" "Back off." Zane says loudly to them. "She's not on menu. If I warn you again your beads will shock you on my command." He says walking to the table. The men frowned at him "little punk.." one said then another blinked "Dude that's Frank's son… lets not go there, last time we cross his path for hitting on his wife we got our asses kicked" he said walking away. Rose smiled "Your back" Zane smiled and taking a shrimp eating it "Mhmm yummy" Rose giggled eating more of the shrimp.
Time went by and the waitress came back "ready for you main meal?" she smiled, Rose giggled "Yes the lobster tail and steak with butter and A1 sauce" she nodded and looked at Zane smiling "and for you handsome?" Rose frowned at her. Zane sighs. "Shrimp Gumbo. "You can leave us now." She wrote it down and nodded leaving. Rose pouted "She was hitting on you…." Zane nodded and took her hand "You are mine and I'm yours" Rose smiled at him holding his hand "I can't wait until we graduate and we find our own apartment" "Same. Ready to get up from under my parents."
Not long the waitress came back with their food, setting them down "Here you go enjoy" she said walking away. Rose smiled and right away take a bit of her lobster "so yummy, I can see why auntie comes here with uncle frank" "She's a seafood junkie. She'll eat any seafood no matter the place." Zane says sighing.
After their meal, they both had a chocolate molten lava cake. Finishing that Rose smiled "Mhmm that was so good, thank you for tonight Zane" Zane smiled putting a box on the table "Happy birthday" Rose smiled picking it up opening it to see a beautiful necklace in 925 silver plated rose gold is equipped with a pendant 'Cat' natural stone 'Pink Quartz' "Oh Zane….. I love it…" He smiled. "I'm glad you do." Scooting her chair next to him, she kissed passionately "Zane… tonight lets go back to my dorm room, the girls are with their boyfriends tonight, I have a surprise for you even though it's my birthday" she smiled at him. "Works for me." He says chuckling.
After their date they ended up at Rose's dorm apartment, the girls where gone for the night. Zane was sitting on her bed in his boxers waiting, the door opened and he looked to see Rose walking over to him in a blush pink Sexy Babydoll Lingerie, Zane bites his lip feeling aroused already. Rose giggled and leaned over him sitting on his lap running her fingers through his white silver hair "Make love to me…" Zane smirked. "Of course birthday girl."
On the first of December Oichi was getting ready to go with Lily to their home island. It would take her a week to get there on the plane. It was specially made to fly to and from the island. It was uncharted and due to its irregular magnetic force, it was impossible for other planes to get through it without crashing. Only natives and those who knew about the island could get there.
In her room, she was packing the last of the bags. Orochi, who was coming, was frowning. "You shouldn't go. Your about to pop…" Oichi sighs. "For the 10th time. I am going no matter what you say. We have been over this. Everyone has their duties while I'm gone. Terrance even gave up his guard duty to stay behind. He actually trusted you with me! So suck it up. I'm going." Orochi grabbed her arm. "It's not…" Oichi pouted and pushed his hands away. She grabbed his by the collar of his shirt and pulled him down. She kissed him on the lips making his eyes widen. He opened his mouth slightly and rubbed his tongue against her lips wanting entrance. Oichi backed up with a flush face. "If you shut up and come along… I'll give you more of those okay?" Orochi chuckled locking his lips. "Bribing me with kisses huh." He took her bags. "Let's go then."
In Ravenswood, Ronnie, Deliora, and Alaric were taking one of their evening strolls together through the park. Ronnie was smoking into a aura bubble so that it wouldn't bother them. They came to a bench and took a seat for a while. Deliora took Alaric out the stroller. "What should we do for his birthday?" He asked as she sit Alaric on her lap. He spotted a butterfly and smiled looking at it. Deliora smiled "how about the zoo? He's never seen the zoo before"
Ronnie looked up into the sky and blew smoke into the bubble. "Deliora. I have something to say." Deliora looked at him and smiled "What is it love?"
"We've been together for a while now. It's thanks to you that the nightmares of my guilt have slowed down. While I do think about Faye from time to time… it's nice to know that I have you by my side now." Deliora flushed and smiled "Oh Ronnie"
Ronnie looked at her. "With that said. I do love you and thank you for all that you have done for me. I've been racking my brain on what I should give you as thanks but Oichi gave me the best gift I could give you. For all your troubles." Deliora blinked "A gift?"
Ronnie blew out smoke. "Your gift… I'm not the romantic type nor do I pretend to be… so. How about you become my wife?" Deliora's eyes widen "W-wife…?"
Ronnie nodded. Deliora had a flush and teared happily "Oh Ronnie! YES!" she kissed him passionately "Yes! Yes!" Alaric was blinking on Deliora's lap confused "Ahhh!"
"Well isn't this nice." Ronnie snaps up from the kiss. They saw a young man with long brown hair and golden eyes. He was wearing a long sleeve shirt and jeans with black shoes. "Can I help you with something?" Ronnie asked. The young man smiled. "Yes, you can." Ronnie's eyes widen slightly. He gave off a familiar smell and that smile. "Who are you?" The man chuckled. "What a shame… that you can't recognize me…" His eyes darken and Ronnie stood up quickly. "Your own grandson!" The man rushed Ronnie and tackled him through the bench. Deliora, using her speed quickly moved with a teary-eyed Alaric. Deliora's eyes widen "Ronnie!" Alaric started to cry.
Ronnie kicked the man off. He flipped over and growled. "Who are you. I have no grandson that looks like you." The man chuckled. "Really now. You can't tell me I don't look like someone you know oh well. I'll give you very big hint. She's the filthy queen of Xacron." Ronnie eyes widen in shock. "Kalmin! That's impossible…" Deliora gasped "No…."
He smirked. "It is but the things you can do with a little technology and now, this body belongs to me brother!" Ronnie growls out and his eyes turned blue in anger. "Dorian!"
Dorian smirked as his eyes glowed yellow. "You think I was going to let that bitch kill me so easily! Think again!" He looked at Deliora. "Oh goodie… another woman for me to kill in front of you. I hope you love her just as much as Faye. Her death will be music to my ears." Deliora held Alaric and growled and hissed at him "you will not touch me and our son!"
Ronnie's aura claws grew out. "You won't touch her. Not now, not ever!" Dorian laughed as they rushed to each other fighting. Dorian laughed as they rushed to each other fighting. Deliora was panicking biting her lip "Rex!" Rex appeared. "Yes, lady Deliora. What can I do for you?" "Send word to my son and Terrance right away that Dorian is attack us! Know!" she quickly moved out of the way has Dorian rushed at her and lifting her finger she flicked his forehead sending him flying into a tree "Ronnie we must head to the Meyers manor!"
Dorian smirked and broke the tree by the truck. "Sorry you vampire whore. Me and my brother have personal matters to attend to." He spins the tree and smacks Ronnie hard enough to send him flying out of the park. He chuckled and threw the tree at Deliora. "I'll deliver his dead body back to you when I'm done!" He laughed and ran off after Ronnie. Deliora gasped and moved out of the way, Alaric was crying in her arms "You bastered!"
At the Meyers manor, Zach and Dawn where cuddling has Roxas was laying down in his plat mat. Rex then appeared making them jump "Rex?" "King Zachariah, your mother and Ronnie are under attack in the Ravenswood party by Dorian!" Zach's eyes widen and he disappeared quickly. Dawn bites her lip and got her phone to call Jess,
Ronnie rolls and lands on his feet. He coughs out feeling cracked ribs. "Dammit…" He was suddenly grabbed by the throat and through the ground creating a hole. "A younger, faster body! This is great! I'll will enjoy killing over and over again!" He took out a black dagger and stabbed it in his shoulder. Ronnie grits his teeth as he felt his powers being drained. "Now relax, this will only take a few moments of your time. How about we go talk elsewhere." He chuckled darkly. He dragged Ronnie away and quickly ran off. Deliora's eyes widen "ROOONIEE!" Zach appeared next to her "Mother?!" Deliora was tearing "Zach! Dorian! He took Ronnie! Please bring him back to me!" Zach frowned "Head to the manor know mother" Deliora frowned and nodded holding Alaric tightly and rushed off the stroller, putting Alaric in it "Rex teleport us to the Meyers manor know please" Rex appeared nodded "Of course lady Deliora" he teleported away. Zach bites his lip and his eyes shined "Dorian you are so DEAD!" he went to reach for them.
Ronnie was thrown up against a tree. Dorian frowned, sensing Zach gaining on them. "Disgusting vampires… and now you lie with one. We're so desperate after Faye that you really wanted to marry that woman! Your standards have really dropped. It's pathetic." Lila appeared with the black blade. "Dorian…" He grabbed it. "Get back to the hideout. Now." Lila nodded and ran off. Ronnie sat up. "I… will kill you…ill. Avenge Faye's death." Dorian chuckled. "Sure you will brother. For now take a little rest."
Holding up the blade he pointed it at Ronnie's heart. "Tell your wife hi for me." Ronnie eyes glowed blue and touched the sword. When he did, he felt his life force being drained. His eyes flickered back to normal. "This blade…" "The same one that killed Sakamoto. Enjoy death for a while brother." He pushed the blade into Ronnie's chest. He screams out as a portion of his power was absorbed. His eyes went empty as Dorian sinks it deep in his chest. He shivered as he watched the life leave Ronnie's eyes. "My second time killing you Ron and only more to come. I'll be back to kill you over and over until every soul is ripped from your body."
He laughed until the sword started to shake. He pulled it out and grabbed Ronnie by the throat. "A shame. The sword isn't powerful enough to drain your power has I figured. Well no matter. This is enough to at least kill Oichi and those half breed children." He chuckled just as Zach appeared. Zach's eyes widen at this "Ronnie….."
"And it looks like the whore sent her son. You're a bit to late but you can fulfill my promise and deliver my brothers body back to his new woman." He threw Ronnie's body at Zach and ran off disappearing. Zach bites his lip and rushed over to Ronnie knelling down "Ronnie…?!" not feeling any life force him he griped his fist as Terrance landed down near him "Ronnie?!" Zach turned to him "Dorian… killed him…"
Terrance frowned. "You should take him back to the manor." Terrance looked at his chest. "His heart was pierced. It will regenerate within 4 hours but be careful. He may wake up… different…I'll go after Dorian." His eyes turned purple. "I'll kill him." He quickly ran after Dorian. Zach nodded putting Ronnie over his shoulder and using his vampire speed he was gone.
Dorian was running through the forest and out of Ravenswood. Running more he heard the branches cracking and saw Terrance flying down. "Dorian!" Dorian frowned. "Dragon boy… what can I do for you." Terrance flashed his claws. "Offer your heart." Dorian chuckled. "You think I didn't plan for this? Of course, you will come to their aid. So, I had to ask a few friends for help." Terrance frowned until a dagger was thrown from behind. He went to knock it away but it pieced his skin shocking him. Dorian jumps into the tree. "I'm sure you met. Bye boy. If you see the witch bitch, tell her that her Godson's body works perfectly for me!" He ran off. Terrance removed the dagger and looked to see Margaret and a few other hunters. "Fresh kill boys. But I get the killing blow." She says. Terrance glares at her.
At the manor, Zach had put Ronnie in a room. Deliora was in the hallway holding Alaric who had finally calmed down, Zach walking out of the room looked at him "Zach please tell me is Ronnie gonna be okay?" Zach sighs sadly "Dorian killed him" Deliora's eyes widen "Killll?!" "No mom calm down, he will regenerate himself, in 4 hours he will come back to life… I send word to Oichi and Danni… they should be here" Deliora frowned "he proposed to me…" Zach's eyes widen "he asked you to marry him?" Deliora nodded "I said yes…" she smiled sweetly. Zach kissed her forehead "Don't' worry mother, I'm sure when he comes back you would be in your arms" Deliora smiled at him then hearing loud yelling, Zach sighed "Danni is here…"
Danni walked down the hall with a frown. She had Adaline with her in her car set half sleep. She walked up to them. "Where is my dad!?" Zach pointed to the bedroom "You are not gonna be happy…."
Danni walked in the room and looked at Ronnie. She looked at the wound in his chest. "Dad…" She sighs. "I can't rest easy if this keeps happening to you…" She rubbed his head. "Heal fast dad… Dorian isn't going to rest easy after this…" She sighs and walked out. "Oichi isn't coming. She's gone for to Lily's Island. It's probably safer for her since Dorian is on the loose." Deliora stepped in with Alaric "Danni… I know this is the right time.. but before Dorian attached us… your father… asked me to marry him and I said yes…"
"Oh. I knew about it. He couldn't decide on a ring so he said he'd just ask you first, get the ring later. Typical of him. But I'm happy for you both. He will be fine. Just need time to heal and hopefully he continues being himself." Deliora smiled "yeah… I'm just worried about him…" Alaric seeing Ronnie and reached for him "Pa…!" Deliora smiled "He's resting sweetie" Alaric pouted at this "Pa.."
Four hours later, Ronnie's eyes opened. He sat up and rubbed his head. He looked down to see a scar on his chest. He rubbed it and sighs. "Great what happened this time." He cracked his neck and got up. The door opened and Deliora walked in with a tray of food. She smiled "Ronnie your awake!" she put the food tray down.
She hugged him but didn't get a hug back. "May I asked what you are doing Deliora?" Deliora blinked up at him "Hugging you"
He removed her arms from around him. "I'm not sure what's going on but I need to head home. I'm sure Faye is waiting for me. I can't have her worrying all day about me." Deliora's eyes widen and backed up with a heart-breaking look in her eyes "Ronnie… you don't remember…. The last 14 years do you…?" "14? I don't know what you mean."
"Ronnie she's…. been dead for 14 years… me and you have been together, we have a son together…. We adopted him" Ronnie crossed his arms. "Adopted? I have 5 children and a few grandchildren… I don't think I would have adopted another. It was nice seeing you after so long. I need to go." He headed to the door to leave. Deliora eyes started to tear "Ronnie…."
Walking out into the door he ran right into Terrance and Danni. "Dad! Your okay!" She hugged him. "Hello Danni." He looked at the car seat. "Are you babysitting?" Danni raised her eyebrow. "Um no…this is my daughter, your grandchild, Adaline." Terrance crossed his arms. "Oh no…" Ronnie looked at him. "You smell of blood?" "I got attacked by hunters but that's beside the point. Ron what is the last thing you remember?" Ronnie crosses his arm. "Not sure. My head is a little fuzzy, but I'm trying to make it home to Faye. You know how she gets."
Danni's eyes widen. "Mom… papa, she's been gone for 14 years." Ronnie sighs. "Deliora said the same thing but I don't know why you all think she's dead. I'm heading home. I'm quite tired." He walked by them putting his hands in his pocket. "I need a smoke." Zach was walking over holding Alaric, Zach seeing Ronnie up "Ronnie your awake!" Alaric eyes looked up at him and smiled brightly "Papa!" he was reaching for Ronnie. "Hello Zach. Congratulations. I need to held home now. Good bye." Zach raised his eyebrow at him "Congratulations to what?" Alaric was fussing "Papa!"
Danni walked after Ronnie. "Dad listen to me! Please! Mom is gone! It's been a long time. We sold the home years ago." Ronnie stopped and turned to her. "Mom was killed by Dorian remember? You went through so much pain but then you got with Deliora. You can't forget all of that." "Me… and Deliora…she's a nice woman but I don't know. It's hard to believe that anyone could replace Faye." Zach bites his lip "Ronnie… you lost your memories..?"
Danni frowned. "Dad… please… do you want me to take you to her grave? Will that be enough proof!?" Terrance frowned and placed a hand on her shoulder and pulled her away. "Lady Danni… it broke him once… if he learns of it again, he might be beyond repair." "Well we can't let him walk around with that 14 years! Think about Lady Deliora! He just asked her to marry her! Come on Terrance. If he sees her then surely it will snap him back right?" "It's to risky…" Danni frowned at him. Alaric was wiggling in Zach's arm and reaching for Ronnie who looked at him "Zach why is your Son reaching for me?" Zach's eyes widen "Ronnie… this is your son with my mother…." Alaric teared "PAPA!"
Ronnie sighs. "You all are getting me a headache." "Ronnie" Ronnie turned to see Jess with a 8th month pregnant tummy, Rick and Chida where next to her. Ronnie blinked at her then looked at Rick "Your alive… but" Rick frowned at him "Lord Ronnie… I have been back for months know.. my soul was complained with my clone that clover made…." Jess's eyes widen "You lost your memories again" she reached up touching his shoulder making her look into her eyes and saw Regina looking deep him "my favorite wolf, you once again lost your memories" Jess looked at Danni "go take him to Faye"
Terrance sighed. "I'll watch Adaline." Danni grabbed Ronnie's arm. "Let's go dad." Ronnie frowned. "Danni what..." "Rex to mothers grave." Rex appeared making Ronnie tilt his head. "Of course Lady Danni." He teleported away. Terrance frowned. 'I hope this doesn't break him more…' Jess sighs softly "I need to sit down…" Rick and Chida nodded and helped her to the living room. Zach frowned bouncing Alaric who was crying "Come on lets go to your mama"
At Faye's, grave. The tree that Raphael had blessed was still there unaffected by time. Ronnie looked around. "How did we…" "Later… come look." She dragged him to the tree. He looked down and saw a tomb stone with Faye's name on. Kneeling down he rubbed her name with widen eyes. "That… can't be…" Danni looks down. "I'm sorry papa… mama is gone. I wish I didn't have to tell you this again." "No… she can't… what about Okami…" "Gone… destroyed by the dark witch. Mom was killed seconds before." Ronnie started to breath heavy and he stood up quickly. "I need to go." "Go where?" Ronnie quickly ran off. "Dad!" Danni called out.
She grips her fist. "Please don't run from the truth papa…" She looked at tree. "Mom… if you can hear me. Please, please, help him. I know you were happy when he found love again. Don't let him throw it all away." Danni bit her lip as a tear ran down her cheek. "Please mama…" The wind blew gently. Danni sniffed as she felt someone kiss her forehead. She looked up and saw the leaves from the tree blow in the direction that Ronnie ran in.
Zach walked into the room where his mom sitting in, Deliora was on the on the window seal with dry tears in her eyes. Zach stepped over "Mom…" Deliora didn't look at him, Zach frown and put Alaric on her lap who was snuggling in her. She smiled halfly and held him "it's alright sweetie… your daddy will remember us… someday…."
Zach turned around and left the room, closing the door he notices Jess right there. He blinked "where's my sons?" Jess sighs "I said I had to pee, but I came to talk to you. I have created a devise that will keep Clover from attacking anyone until we figure out to remove his soul from Draven's body without ripping apart Draven's soul" Zach looked surprised "what is this devise…?" Jess chuckled "Tomorrow meet me at the magic council, know then I really do have to pee this time" she walked passed him.
Oichi, Lily, and Orochi was riding on a plane heading to the island. Oichi was sitting in a comfy chair eating seafood. She sighs. "I hope grandpa is okay… I can't believe Dorian is back… and…" She bit her lip as she crushed a crab leg into pieces. "Using my own sons' body…" Lily pats her hand. "I know dear. It might be best that your heading to the island." "It's safe in Xacron." Orochi says sighing. "He can't get through the barrier without a bracelet. How many times has an outsider ended up on your island?" "Alive or dead?" Lily says giving him a chilling smile. He frowned at this. Oichi cleans her hands. "Moving on… I'm sure once grandpa recovers, he will do something about it. He won't let Dorian run around freely. Now then, let's talk about Uncle Axel. His condition is stable now?"
Lily nodded. "Yes, just a bit. Dante had been working on extracting the demon side that has been corrupting him. He managed to create something that blocks his demon side. Kinda like how Jay has his neck brace to help him with his sound waves." Oichi pops a shrimp in her mouth. "So he is still obsessed with mama, me, and Zane? Just not overly crazy like last time?" Lily leans back. "Something like that. Ari visits him." Oichi's eye widen. "I thought you were going to keep her away from him?" "I was but when she learned the truth, she wanted to meet him. Somehow just the knowledge of Axel learning that he has her attention as calmed him down. Enough for us to figure out what to do next."
"I haven't seen Ari in a very long time… how old is she now?" "She turned 20 this year. She is quite beautiful now. Jazz was considering to let her live in Xacron." Oichi smiled. "That would be lovely." Lily smiled back. "How is Deerward fairing?" "He likes to overtask my body but since I'm pregnant he doesn't really come out unless I'm angry. He gets full of prayers everyday so I think he is quite happy." Lily chuckled. "Sounds like him. He doesn't know your limits yet. I was with him since I was young teen. Though all he did was sleep." They giggled. "In his child form he likes to cuddle when I visit him through my mind." "Aw, that's adorable. He didn't have a child's form when he was with me. He must take it from your subconscious. You always adore babies and young children." Oichi smiled and nodded rubbing her stomach. "Well it's going to be a long trip. Why don't we think of some names for the babies!" Lily chuckled. "Agreed."
The next day, Zach and Jess where in the newly designed thrown room at the magical council. Jess was in a red maternity gown and had a stunning red jeweled tiara on. Zach next to her in his normally royal attire was sitting next to her. Victoria, Sarah and Ciccy where standing near in their council white dress's.
The guards where bring in Clover with magical light cuffs on him, he was sighing in announce. Stopping in front of Jess and Zach, Jess looked at him "Clover, how are you?" Clover frowned "IS this why you summoned me from out of my cell? Is to ask me how I am?" Zach frowned at him "silence brother" Clover growled. Jess sighed "fine then don't answer me, I bit you wanna be released don't you" Clover looked at her "It would be better then staying here!" Jess closes her eyes then opened "I guess I have change of heart, not for you but for Draven trapped within side his own mind not be able to come out because of what you and Phoenix did" she slowly got up making Zach blink "You need help?" Jess shook her head "No I'll be alright"
Clover frowned "A change of heart…? Your letting me go? Why?" Jess stepped by him "not for you, for Draven. Once you be freed from Draven's body then I will personally keep your soul here for more punishment" Clover bites his lip at her in anger "So then" she too off her Larcrima necklace touched his neck with it "You will be behave at all time and be under Zach's watch" she said has a magical blue rigs appeared around his neck making his eyes widen "What did you do!?" Jess smirked "a magical neckband, it will prevent you attacked anyone with bad attentions and obey Zach's every word" she said stepping back and waved her hand and the magical light cuffs disappeared making the council members on edge.
Clover stood there shocked and looked back at Jess and was about smack her when the magical collar around his neck burned him, he screamed and fell to his knees "if you try anything like that again you will get burned by the collar, you should be grateful Clover" the burning stopped and he was panting, Zach stepped over to him "Stand up know" Clover stood up from the magical collar pulling him up, Clover frowned "This isn't freedom this is hell.." Jess chuckled "Hell you say? Your lucky your not a demon or you will be under lucifer's punishment" she looked at Zach "You can take him home know" Zach nodded "Follow" he said walking away and Clover's body turned and followed him making him groan.
In Xacron, Terrance was home. He was wrapping his hand in bandages from the wounds he got from Margaret. They weren't healing as quickly. Nia walked up and frowned. She grabbed his hand and started to bandage it for him. "Hunters?" "Yeah… normal weapons can't pierce my skin but she's using the bones and talons from my own sister…" He growls out. "It's inexcusable that I couldn't save her. Now she's been made into a weapon." Nia rubbed his arm. "She saved your life dear. As an older sister the only thing on my mind was getting you out of trouble. I doubt she had any regrets." Terrance sighs and wraps his arm around her. "Your right. If she didn't save my life then, I would have never met you and Terry wouldn't have been born." Nia smiled and kissed his forehead.
In town, Seth was sitting in Runes diner waiting. Rune walked up. "So, am I finally going to meet the mystery girl who has stolen your heart?" Seth sighs. "Yes, I suppose so." Rune chuckled. "It's great to see you finally move on dad. Mom would be rolling over in her grave if she knew you were still stuck on her." Seth frowns. "Bring me some wine." "Sure thing." Seth ran his hand through his hair. "Hilda… would you really be upset with me…"
Terra walked in the diner and smiled seeing Seth. She walked over and sat in front of him. "HI Seth. Sorry I'm late." Seth looked at her. "It's fine. I know your busy with Oichi gone. Forgive me for asking you out at a troubling time." Terra chuckled. "I heard your son makes wonderful food. If he expanded his diner then he would bring in more customers and money." "Rune doesn't care for that. So long as he can cook and feed people, he is happy." "How lovely."
Rune came back and smiled brightly. "So Terra is the one who has swept you off your feet? How wonderful. I'll make you two a special lunch." He put the wine bottle down and set two glasses down. "My father is a wonderful man you know." He says opening the bottle. "He is a workaholic and can be harsh with his words but he has softened up in these new times. His love for his family is really…" "Rune. No need to butter her up." Seth says placing a hand on his face. Terra giggled. "It's cute. Thank you, Rune. So far, I have really been enjoying Seth's company. He treats me very sweetly." Rune chuckled pouring them wine. "I see. Then I'll go get started on your food. TaTa." He walked back to the kitchen.
"Sorry about him." Terra smiled. "It's fine. Hayate did the same thing. Your grandchildren even warned me not to break your heart. It was sweet." Seth sighs. "I'm not so much of a fragile creature to break down like that. You will have to excuse them." "I found it refreshing. Your family cares a lot about your happiness. I would be wrong to shatter that. It's why I wanted to go on a few more dates and get to know each other more. I want to learn about who you are behind the title." She reached out and touched his hand. "I'd love to learn more about the real Seth." Seth looks down and her hand and takes it as he smiled gently.
On the 6th of December, Oichi's plane landed on Lily's Island, Suiren. It was a large and isolated island that was mixed with different types of land mass, giving off different magnetic fields. Oichi rubs her eyes as she stepped off the plane. The sun was shining making her skin all wall and tingly. Lily helped her down as Orochi followed with her bags. He frowned feeling the sun.
Walking into the airport they saw Jazz waving. Beside her was a young girl with gray hair and yellow eyes and tan skin. She smiled seeing Oichi. "Auntie!" Oichi smiled. "Ari!? Is that you! Look at how cute you are!" Ari blushed and went to hug her. "Whoa! Your tummy is really big! Should you be walking?" "I'll be fine. I'm having Quadruplets." Ari smiled and rubbed her belly feeling kicks. She giggled. "They like me!" Jazz walked up. "Oichi. It's good to see you again. I heard about Sakamoto. We all did. I'm sorry we couldn't make it to the funeral." "It's okay. Cousin. Thank you though. So where will we be staying? If possible I want to stay in a villa. Being in Xacron all these years, I've come to enjoy the beach front. Not swim in it though." She shivered. Lily chuckled. "Come along so we can get you settled in." Jazz and Ari looked at Orochi. "Is he your body guard?" "Just some help." Oichi says walking off with Lily. Orochi frowned. "I'm your mate. Get use to saying that." He says following behind her. Jazz and Ari looked at each other before following them.
It was the day of the schools festival, the students where going everywhere enjoying the actives. Semyaza and his friends where walking around enjoying themselves when they stopped at Rose's class café first. Walking in they see the room completely sci-fi like maid café. His friends gasped "Wow the seniors did amazing job on this" Semyaza chuckled and noticed Zane sitting alone, he chuckled and walked his friends over to the table next to him and sat down.
Semyaza's friends looked to see Rose walking over with some menu's and wearing an amazing black, white and pink maid outfit. She smiled brightly "Welcome masters!" she put her menu's down and with a shy pose "What can I can for you masters?" the demons where flushing at her.
"Just lemonade" they said. Rose giggled and wrote it down "alright I shell bring your drinks for you masters" she said walking away. Zane was narrowing at Semyaza's friends.
"Quit with that." Semyaza says. "Nothing against the rules about they can't look. No one is going to flirt or touch her." Not long Rose back with their drinks "Please enjoy and look at our treat menu" she said and stepped right up to Zane and giggled and sat on his lap "did I make you wait long Master?" Zane was grinning "Oh no it was worth the wait; can I get a lemon water?" Rose giggled "Of course master" she kissed his cheek and skipped off. Zane smirked watching her skip away.
Not long Semyaza and his friends where in the their class room that designed has a night club from the 60's club. "Wow I forgot how huge this classroom was" one of his friends said Semyaza chuckled and they found a front row booth, he then notices Ross, and Kaci with Hannibal in Ross's lap. He blinked 'is Azaya performing?' then he see's Dustin and Joseph walk passed and sat with Kaci and Ross "I can't wait to see Bella and Arnold perform!" Dustin chuckled. Kaci smiled "yeah, I was surprised that their letting the Bella class share this room since their classroom isn't big enough" the waitress dressed in 50's wear who a student from Azaya's class put down their drinks "Here you go" she said and looked at Dustin and Joseph "any drinks for you? There all 50's themed and of course no alcohol in them" Dustin chuckled. Kaci smiled "yeah, I was surprised that their letting the Bella class share this room since their classroom isn't big enough" the waitress dressed in 50's wear who a student from Azaya's class put down their drinks "Here you go" she said and looked at Dustin and Joseph "any drinks for you? There all 50's themed and of course no alcohol in them" Dustin chuckled "I'll have the Cherry twist" she smiled and wrote it down" "The same." Joseph says.
Rick and Chida helped Jess sit down in a front booth, Jess rubs her tummy. Another waitress walked over to Semyaza's table "Drinks?" Semyaza nodded "you have water?" she nodded "Yeah it's spring water" "I'll take it."
The lights dimmed and students where whispering has the red curtains opened to show Bella and Arnold. Bella was in a 50's swing pink jeweled dress with gold dancing shoes and Arnold was in a 50's blush pink suite with black collar shirt. A band behind them was wearing 50's wear has they started to play 'Hey Pachuo from Royal Crown'. Arnold and Bella started to swing dance making everyone cheer and whistle.

Kaci rubs his brothers back "I'm sure he will get pregnant soon like Ross, well she know might get pregnant soon, I hope she does" Ross chuckled "well you haven't been able to keep you hands off me" Kaci grinned "Well I was always the bottom so it feels good being top" Dustin blinked "Isn't he still dominate anyways?" Kaci's eyes widen and flushed "there's moments where I'am" Ross chuckled. "I just let him have his fun." Dustin snickered has Kaci's pouted face.
Bella and Arnold finished with an amazing move, parents and students where getting up whistling and cheering. Dustin got up "That's my little princess!" Bella flushed and they both bowed and went back stage has the curtains went down. Jess smiled "That was amazing to watch" Rick and Chida nodded "It's to bad Oichi is missing this… didn't she say she was excited to see the what the kids this year?" Joseph chuckled "That's why I'm recording this"
Not long, the lights dimmed again, Semyaza smiled "It's Azaya" his friends blinked and watched. Ross right away took out his phone and started to record while holding Hannibal.

"You let other women make a fool of you
Why don't you do right, like some other men do
Get out of here and get me

You're sittin' down and wonderin' what it's all about
You ain't got no money, they will put you out
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?
Get out of here and get me some money too"
She sang snapping her fingers along with the song and moving her shoulders and hips to the smooth beat, Semyaza smirked 'god she looks so sexy in that…' the demons who use too went to Ravenswood where just staring at her with flush faces at her.
She walked down from the stage and moved her legs in a sexy way "If you had prepared twenty years ago, You wouldn't be a-wanderin' now from door to door
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?
Get out of here and get me some money too

Now all you got to offer me's a drink of gin
Why don't you do right, like some other men do
Get out of here and get me some money too
Get out of here and get me some money too"
She reached over to Semyaza 's table and had somehow moved his friend out of the during singing he was on the edge of the booth, she smirked and slip on his lap "Why don't you do right, like some other men do Like some other men" grabbing his school tie pulling him close where their lips where close in touching, she got up and walked away back up the stage "do-oooooooooooooooo" Azaya finished as the curtains go down and everyone whistles and cheers.

Ebony sat at her table working on couple of rings from requests "What lovely jewelry" Ebony was to much into her making it she didn't recognized the voice "Mhmm thank you ma'am I'll be with in just a minute" ebony said finishing up. She got up and turned but she froze to see Phoenix standing there, she smiled at her "Hello my sweet granddaughter" Ebony shook "What do you want….?"

Know then, I'll let you stay here for two more years then I will come for you Ebony" she said letting go Ebony and walked away through the ground. Ebony shook and sat down 'two more years…..'
In China, Valeriea, using her Magic, was in a teen form using Kaleb's body. She had short black hair and gray eyes. She was in a black dress with no shoes on. She squeezed her hand. "The life essence of a vampire and Werewolves are very useful." The door to her room opened and Alcaeus and Crissy walked in. "Mother?" Valeriea turned to him. "Fear not, I simply returned to a younger version of myself so I can save the stress on the body. Don't want to break him just yet. How is Lorelei doing." "She is resting comfortably for now. As a human her body will take time to heal but thanks to the healing potion I say maybe after week or two she will be ready for you." Valeriea nodded and saw something in Crissy's hand. "You found it?"
Crissy walked up and opened the box and pulled out a restyle vespertilio violet purple gem jewelry necklace." Valeriea smiled and took it, placing it over her neck. It glowed as dark magic poured out of it and circles her. She sighs out. "Another piece of my soul has returned to me." Alcaeus frowned. "That body? Is it someone's elses?" Valeriea chuckled. "No dear boy. This was my body after my second reincarnation. Though I did not live too long in it. I took over my first human city in this body. Slaughter them all like bugs." She places her hands on her cheeks and shivers as her face turned pink. "Their fear of me was wonderful. Their pleads to spare their children was beautiful. Their death cries…mmmmm…" Alcaeus could feel his body getting hot as he turned his head from her." Valeriea chuckled as she went back to her poker face. "It's always nice to relive the past. Now come. Today is the day we wake the wolf deity. Once he is awaken we will find what we need and it will be one more step closer till I can fulfill my wish."
Valeriea, Alcaeus, and Crissy walked down into the basement of the temple. Xavier was sitting down carving wood. He looked at Valeriea and raised his eyebrow. "You think that form is okay for when Lucian wakes up?" "It will be fine." She held up a pink potion bottle. "I've made a potion out of the peach. One drop should be enough to wake him and keep him docile until we get what we want."
She leans over, opens the bottle, and tilts the bottle over Lucian. A single dropped fell and landed on his lips. They waited for a moment. Xavier frowned. "It didn't work. That beast lied." Valeriea held her hand up, silencing him. A few more seconds past before they saw the color come back to Lucien's face. His body started to glow bright pink. He eyes started to open to reveal narrow gray eyes. He blinks a few time before he sat up. He coughs and runs his chest. "I'm… awake…" He looked around the room and looked at Valeriea and the others. "A child? No… something more." Valeriea chuckles. "I am Valeriea. How are you feeling?" "Weaken… what did you do to me? Where am I?" "You are in China. You have been asleep for a very long time. The year is 2036." His eyes widen. "That long… I see…now that I am awaken, what are you planning to do with me. I don't have lot of power so sucking me dry won't do you any good." Valeriea smiled. "All I want is information and then you are free to do whatever you deity does." Lucien frowns and sighs. "Very well, what is it? Since you did help wake me, it is the least I can do." Valeriea smirked. "I would like to know the location of Ikari.". Lucien narrowed his eyes. "Why…" "Please answer the question." Valeriea says. "Ikari cannot be reached by mortal plains. It is a being that feeds on nothing but hatred and anger. A forgotten deity that was locked away for not only in danger itself but for the people who worship it. It's is not something a witch should be playing with."
Valeriea frowned and held up a scroll. "I know exactly what it is. This scroll tells me a lot but what I need is a location. Tell me where it is imprisoned." "That scroll…" "You are trying me… the location!" Valeriea says. Lucien sighs. "Fine… go to the valley of sunken Valley. There is a tomb there where Ikari's followers use to pray to him. The location which you seek is within the tomb." Valeriea smiles. "Thank you. That is all I wanted." She turns around and heads back upstairs. Alcaeus narrows his eyes at Lucien before following her. Xavier sighs. "All that for a run around." "That woman. She is dangerous." "Yes, she is. It's fun being around her. It's never boring." He chuckled. "Good day to you wolf deity, though your kind knows nothing about you. I wonder what you will do now." Xavier laughed as he left. Lucien frowned.
When they all were gone, he finally had the energy to get out of his coffin. Looking around he walked to the back wall and placed his hand on it. His eyes flashed blue as his aura appeared from his body. He pushed against the wall slightly and it brought with ease. He walked out through the hole he made leaving the temple.
Selena inside her own suite she owns at the crimson rose with Dracula. Selena was sitting on the couch has Dracula came out from the bathroom "I like this time, plumbing! A nice shower and toilet! Haha!" Selena chuckled at him then her eyes widen feeling something, she shut up making Dracula blink at her "Love what's the matter?" Selena closed her eyes "He's awake after all these years, Lucian…" Dracula's eyes widen "That wolf deity that disappeared?" Selena nodded "Don't wait for me love I have an old friend to visit…" she snapped her fingers and disappeared.
Still in China, Lucien walked through the forest and came to an old gazebo. He rubbed his head feeling a bit dizzy. "I feel so weak…" He walked to the Gazebo and sat down. "I need a moment to think… what to do now. I know nothing about this time. Everything looks different and I scene no one familiar. Have wolves died out? That would be impossible… maybe… I should go along with that witch…" He sighs rubbing his head. "Lucian is that you?" his eyes widen and turned sharply to see Selena. "Selena!?" Selena smiled "Oh dear old friend, how are you awake…?"
Lucien sighs. "I'm not completely sure. I woke in a temple. A woman and others asked me about the deity of rage and Carnage, Ikari. I don't know what her plan is but I gave her the information as a thanks for waking me up. I'm not actually sure what to do now though. Has my kind mange to die out?" Selena shook her head and stepped over to him "there is a queen now" Selena chuckled "she is the granddaughter of Ronnie" "A Queen? Interesting…Ronnie? Hmm…" He looked down at his hand. 'Is he the one from before… but I thought that clan failed me…'
Selena looks at him "I can sense you are not full of power yet, please come with me and I will tell you everything about this time and dangers there are, I'm sure the queen of witches can restore your power" she took his hand and he can feel her divine power. "A witch? I don't think another witch could help."
"She's the vessel of Manon, I think she could" Selena smiled at him. Lucien sighs, getting up. "Even if my power is returned. It will just start to decrease again. My kind knows nothing of me. They most likely don't even know I exist. I will remain forgotten like years before…" Selena shook her head "nonsense, I was almost forgotten but Lady Deliora and Lady Thalia kept praying to me all this years where I was able to get released from the seal I was put under"
"I must meet this Queen of wolves. I didn't think any pack would allow a woman to lead… it's still a little hard to believe to be honest…but for now I'll come with you." Selena chuckled "of course, come to Xacron" she said and divine teleported them.
On the island of Suiren, Oichi was laying down in a bed of a villa. They were beautiful little huts next to the sea. Orochi was unpacking her things. "Rex? Can you hear me?" Oichi asked through her bracelet. Rex appeared and fizzed out every now and then. "Lady Oichi… the magnetic force is…" He fuzzed out. "Interfering with my connection." "I know, is there any ways you can put Naomi and Alisha on?" "Of course, you have 5 minutes until my connection drops."
Oichi nodded and saw Alisha's face pop up. She smiled. "Mama!" Naomi's face also appeared. "Mama?" Oichi smiled. "Hi sweeties. Happy birthday. I'm sorry I had to miss your special day." They smiled. "It's okay mama! We made lots of clothes and stuff." Alisha says. "Hey, can you bring us something back from the island?" "I can. Also, Naomi, if you and Klaus plan to get intimate please use protection." Naomi's face went red. "Mom!" Oichi giggled. "I just want you to be careful hunny. The same goes with Alisha whenever she decides to go all the way with Marcellus." Alisha blushed. "Mom… that's embarrassing."
"Aw, I'm sorry. My babies are growing up so I can't help but to be a worry wart. If you feel forced to doing it then you don't have to do it. It should be a special moment. With the person you feel is going to be your one and only." "Like you and daddy?" Alisha asked. Orochi frowned. "Yes… like with me and your dad. Anyways have fun, enjoy your birthday, and Naomi remember what I said. If you have questions ask Takara okay?" Naomi pouted. "OK mom!" She disappeared. Alisha giggled. "Bye mom! See you when you get back." "Bye sweetie. Keep an eye on your sister." Alisha nodded and fizzed out. Oichi sighs. "My babies…" She starts tearing up. Orochi chuckled. "You're having more. So, you shouldn't be crying." Oichi sniffed. "Shut up. I know that."
Klaus was walking around with so a shake he got, his, Naomi's and Alisha's class was doing a haunted house but since the girls are doing their own thing which he knew they where telling their handmade scarfs and shirts. He smiled to see a coward of people by a room. He sighed 'it seems their busy' he walked over pushing people away gently has he could and got into the room, he smiled "It seems you girls are busy! Happy birthday Naomi and Alishia" Naomi smiled. "Thanks Klaus." Alisha walked by with some scraps of clothing. "Thank you." She says walking to a boy who was in need of repairs. Klaus chuckled and started to look around has Jess walked in with her huge tummy pushing some students out of the way, she gasped "Wow girls this is amazing!" "Thank you." The girls said.
Outside the school where most the food venders where, Selena and Lucian was walking past them, Lucian had some many teriyaki beef sticks in his hand look around had all werewolves, vampires, witches and demons. "so, what do you think of Xacron? This place is a school, its where the children learn and today is a school festival"
"Very nice. I never thought that I'd see all these beings living together as one… it's very weird yet a refreshing take on the world." Selena chuckled "Well I don't sense Oichi, so lets head to the castle, we can come back later for more food" Lucian was eating the food "I've been a sleep for so long I forgot what it felt like it was to be hungry…." Selena chuckled "Come on lets head the castle" she said taking his hand and teleported them in main hall. "Well here we are" A wolf guard was rushing over to her "you! How did you get in here!?" Selena sighed "Summon Terrance" more came. Surrounding them. "Identify yourself! No one is allowed inside the castle without proper jurisdiction!" Selena raised her eyebrow at him "My are you a rude wolf"
One of the guards grabbed the wolves' arm. He was a vampire. "Wait a moment, this is Lady Selena." The guards frowned and took a step back. The vampire guard walked up and bowed. "Lady Selena. Apologies. If you are looking for Queen Oichi she is not on the island at this time. She had important matters to attend to with Lady Lily." Lucien blinks. 'Lily…?'
"The only ones in the castle at this time are us solders, Sir Paxton and Lord Terrance. Would you like to speak to them?" Selena smiled "Yes please, thank you my child" The other guards dispersed and went back to their post. Selena and Lucien followed the guard. "My apologies for the others. After the death of our Lord Sakamoto and the attack from the Marrow clan, we are not allowed anyone inside the castle. Unless they were requested, summoned, or part of the royal family. They meant no rudeness towards you." Selena hums softly "yes I know"
They walked to the throne room. The guards there were demons. They frowned until the vampire guard waved them off. They opened the doors and walked in. Terrance and Paxton were standing in the middle of the throne room talking.
"If we can get the nobles in the city next to Cento then we can start expanding the barrier." Paxton says. Terrance nodded. "Yes, the wolf tribes have agreed to allow the barrier to stretch over their lands here as well. After Angela and Marrows clan they agreed it would be best for it. Write it down so that we may present it to Lady Oichi." Paxton wrote it down on his pad.
The guard walked up. "Lord Terrance? Paxton? Lady Selena has come for a visit." They turned them. Terrance bow slightly. "Lady Selena. It's a surprise to see you here. Are you looking for lady Jess?" Selena chuckled "Oh no, we have come to see Oichi but I was told she had left" "Yes she should be back before Christmas hopefully. Is there anything I can do for you in her stead?"
Selena smiled and looked at Lucian "This is Lord Lucian, the deity of the werewolves. He had just woken up from a very long sleep" Paxton raised his eyebrow. "Werewolves have a deity? That's kinda… hard to believe." Terrance looked at Lucien. "Hard to believe but not untrue. I've heard that there was one but he disappeared. It was more of a local rumor or fairy tail and since it was vampire guard that lead you here and not a wolf I would have to say that your people do not believe in you?"
Lucien sighs. "It is true. I was hoping to speak to your Queen." "Most of the people who leave here pray to Deerward, the deity of nature." Terrance says. "Deerward? I thought he isolated himself." "Yes, well our queen is his vessel now." "I see…" Terrance put a hand in his pocket. "You are welcome to stay of course. Until she returns. I'm sure she would enjoy a chat with you." Lucien looked around. "I see… thank you." Selena smiled "well then, Lucian you wanna head back to the schools festival? I can feel my love calling for me" she closed her eyes, Lucian sighed "the first vampire you created? He still alive?"
Selena chuckled "Yes my beloved Dracula know then will you be alright be yourself?" "I will be fine." He says. "He will be taken care of." Terrance says. Selena smiled and teleported away.
Once Selena left, Lucien rubbed his head. "Where is your library? I would like to do some reading." "I will take you to it. If you like Rex can help with bring you up to speed of all the events that has happen since you were sleep." "Rex?"
Terrance bracelet beeps and Rex appeared. Lucien's eyes widen. "This is Rex our cybernetic being. He controls the barriers, bracelets, and all the weapons and devices here. High tech standards." Lucien reached out and poked Rex. His hand went through him. Terrance chuckled. "He is only appearing through my bracelet. His cybernetic body will meet you in the library. Any questions you want to ask he will know." Lucien rubbed his chin. "This time is quite fascinating. Very well. Please show me the way." Terrance nodded. "Pax, we will speak later." Paxton nodded and watched them leave.
After the festival, Klaus and Naomi where at the manor, Klaus was in her room alone. He sighed, Alisha kidnapped Naomi for the moment saying it was important "That taking them so long….?" The door opened and Alisha poked her head in. "Klaus! Sorry for keeping you waiting. Every now and then my sissy needs a push!" She giggled disappeared.
He blinks at this until her heard a squeak. The door opened a bit wider as Naomi was pushed gently into the room and the door closed. She was wearing a red sexy Baby doll lingerie lace dress. Her face was bright red as she covered herself. Klaus's eyes widen "N-Naomi…." "D-Don't look! I know I'm not attractive okay!"
He got up and walked over to her and gently cupped her cheeks "don't be shy with showing me your body, I love every inch of you" he kissed her. She relaxed and kissed him back.
Picking her up, making her gasp he walked her over to the bed and gently put her down, he hovered over her smiling down at her with a soft and gentle look on his face "I'll be gentle" he says leaned down kissing and licking her neck while his hand reached up and cupped her B cup size boob. She shivered under him, wrapping her arms around him. "O-Okay…"
On the 17th of December, on the island of Suiren Lily was in a lab where they were holding Axel. She was looking in a tube Axel was floating in. He had tubes and wires coming out of his back. She sighs. "My son… I wish there was another way to save you but you are too far gone. I hope with being with Oichi, maybe she can help cleanse your soul." She looked at the scientist. "Prepare him for transport. Oichi will come see him tomorrow. He will leave on a separate plane back to Xacron." He nodded at her and watched her leave.
The scientists walked to the back to get things ready when suddenly he was grabbed and pulled into the shadows. His neck was snapped and his body was laid on the ground. A dark chuckle was heard. "Well now… this is fortunate."
At Deliora's she was preparing lunch for Alaric who was sitting in his high chair. Alaric was playing with wolf plushie when something appeared beside him. He looked up with curious eyes. Deliora soon hear him giggle. She passed it off for a second until she heard him giggle more and more. Curious she turned around to see what was making him giggle. She gasps when she saw that it was Faye standing beside him. She was tickling him. She was wearing a orange Maxi dress and her hair was long and wavy. She looked at Deliora and smiled. "Hello Deliora. I would like a moment of your time."
Deliora blinked, she can sense Faye is still a spirit "Lady Faye… why… are you here?" she asked stepping over and putting Alaric's lunch on his high chair making him scream happily and start to eat his lunch. Faye chuckled at him. "So cute…"
She looked back at Deliora. "I've only came to speak for a moment. When I was taken from this world, Sam collected my soul. I accepted my fate but I was granted a wish. To appear in front of Ronnie when I saw fit. I saw what happened and I plan to bring him back but first I wanted to speak to you." Deliora blinked "about what lady Faye….?"
Faye closed her eyes. "When I saw Ronnie with you, I do admit that I was deeply upset. To see him be happy with someone was a pain inside that I could not describe. To not be able to comfort him, hold him, kiss him was very depressing. I came to hate you…" Deliora frowned at this 'she came to hate me….?'
Faye opened her eyes. "I watched as the years went by, I came to realize that hating you was wrong. You help Ronnie overcome his sadness and guilt. All I ever want for him is to be happy, even if I can no longer do it. I thank you for taking such good care of him. You will make a wonderful bride to him." Deliora flushed "Lady Faye.."
Looking at Alaric she smiled softly. "I will bring him back. He is suffering even more. By tomorrow morning you and Alaric should take one of your lovely strolls through the park. It will be a very lovely day. This will be the last time I'll be able to walk this plain so all I ask is that you love him with all your heart and take good care of him. Good bye." She smiles softly as she faded away. Deliora closes her eyes and smiled, opened them with tears down her eyes "Thank you Faye…. Thank you…"
In the location of what use to be Okami, Ronnie was laying in the middle of the large crater that use to be his home. There were flowers and memorials of those who died around the edges. Other than that, it was dead land. Ronnie's eyes were red from crying and wounds around his neck were healing. For the past few days he had been trying to take his life. "Faye… you're really gone…why, how…" He closed his eyes. "I want to be with you my love." He laid there for a moment.
"Ron? Ron get up dear." Ronnie opened his eyes and sat up. His eyes widen to see that he was laying in a field of grass with orange flowers. He looked around and then felt a pair of hands wrap around him. He was pulled back and landed on someone's lap. His heart race to see Faye smiling down at him. "Hi my silly wolf." Ronnie reached up and cupped her cheek. "Faye… your alive?" Faye grabbed his hand and rubs her cheek in his palm. "No my love…" Ronnie frowned and sat up. He turned to her. "Then…" Faye looked around. "Do you remember this field?" Ronnie looked at a flower and picked on. "Yes, this was the field where I asked you to marry me. Orange was always your favorite color. I thought you would say yes if I brought you here." He put the flower in her hair making her giggle. "I would have said yes anyways but I was so happy that you tried to impress me."
He smiled. "I want to be with you." Faye frowned. "I know but… you have made a new life for yourself. As much as I want you to be with me, I cannot take you away." "New life!? I could never replace you…" Faye smiled. "I know dear but you found someone who can make you happy again." She reached out and grabbed his cheeks. "It pains me to do this but I cannot allow you to remain like this. Deliora and your son is waiting on you. Ron, I love you and that will never change." Tears ran down her cheek. "I want to be in your arms again so bad but it's not fair for me to take you away." Ronnie frowns. "Faye…"
They stand up and held each other. "I love you Faye. Do what you must." Faye pulled back slightly and smiled. "You be good to Deliora. Love her, care for her, protect her as you did me." He nods as a tear ran down his cheek. They lean in close and shared a passionate kiss. He held her tightly as his memories began to flood in. A warm breeze blew as flowers circled around them converting them from sight.
Ronnie gasps out as he opens his eyes. He sits up and looks around to see that he was back in the crater. He frowned and looked down. "Faye…"
Floating above him. Faye was looking down sadly at him. Samuel appeared beside her. "Lady Faye…" "Please don't… it hurts enough already. Just let me watch a little longer." Samuel nodded and disappeared.
The next day, Deliora was indeed in the park with Alaric. She was in a stunning floral print red long dress and white flip flops. Alaric was in a cute outfit. Pushing him along, they stopped at an ice cream cart Alaric was giggle "Ma!" she pointed at the ice cream cart. Deliora smiled strolled him over, the man smiled "What can I get ya?" Deliora smiled "one toddler small vanilla cup and for me a strawberry small cup" He handed her a vanilla cup and she gave it Alaric. The man handed her a strawberry cup. "It's on the house today. Have a good day." Deliora smiled "thank you" she stepped away "Let's find a bench sweetie" Alaric giggled.
Walking more Deliora came to a stop to see the bench that they usually sat. There was Ronnie, sitting there smoking like he normally did. He sighs as he blew smoke in the air. Deliora flushed and smiled strolled over to him Alaric's eyes widen lit up seeing Ronnie "Papa!" Ronnie smiled slightly putting his cigarette out.
Deliora sat down put Alaric's ice cream down, he started to dig into it. She sighed "Don't be so messy" she flushed "So you have returned… I missed you, we both have…" said taking a bite of her ice cream. "Yes, I'm very sorry… I remember everything. I want to let you know, that I do love you and Alaric very much. I was serious when I asked you to, he my wife. I'm sorry for what I said and for leaving you alone." Deliora smiled and leaned on his side taking a bite her ice cream "I love you Ronnie" "I love you to."
Hearing Alaric giggle they look to see his hands and face was messy, he was done with his ice cream. they both sighed "Alaric know mama has to wipe your face" Ronnie chuckled "I'll do it" He picked Alaric up who eyes sparkled at him.
Deliora smiled at them "We have to get me a ring, wouldn't be an engagement if I don't have one" she giggled. "Actually, about that. Chaz had one already made for you and sent it to me moments before you got here. It seems my children are more excited about this then I thought." He pulled a box out and handed it to her. Taking some wipes from Alaric's bag he started cleaning him up. Deliora looks at the box and opens it to see a Garnet tear drop engagement ring.
Deliora giggled and put it on "it's so beautiful, I love. Gotta remember to give Chaz a big hug when I see him, I was thinking Spring can be the season to have the wedding" Deliora smiled while eating her ice cream. "That's works." Ronnie says finishing up with Alaric. He giggled as he grabbed Ronnie's hand. "My daughter Heather is a wedding planner we could speak to her about the set up." Deliora smiled brightly "I would love that; we should head to Xacron… Oichi is on the island and there's a stranger staying there has some of the guards have been saying… I heard it was someone special. Apparently, Lady Selena brought him there, so he must be…"
Ronnie sighs. "Lucien…from my records it seems my clan had some connections towards him. They weren't all good from what I could read. Until Oichi gets back it may not be a good idea for me to appear in front of him. I don't want to start trouble if it can be avoided. Terrance is there so he should be okay." Deliora blinked "Lucian….? The forgotten werewolf deity...?"
"Yeah…he disappeared a very long time ago." Ronnie says. Deliora hummed finishing up her ice cream "Well lets go shopping, where out of many things and I would love the help, our fridge is almost empty." "Alright." He puts Alaric back into his stroller, Alaric pouted at this.
On Suiren, Oichi and Orochi was walking to the lab with Lily. Oichi was clinging on to Orochi's arm. She could still remember Axel from when he attacked while caring the triplets. She shook. Orochi frowned at this. They arrived at the lab where the scientists were getting him ready to transport. "He will stay inside the tube and Ari will ride with him in case he wakes up. It will keep him calm enough until he reaches Xacron." Oichi nodded and looked at Axel floating in the tube. Lily smiled. "He won't hurt you sweetie. I promise. The wires in his back keeps him in tack." Oichi nodded. "If he did, I'll kill him before he reaches you." Orochi says. Oichi smiled at him. "Thank you."
They heard a crash and saw one of the scientists had broken one of the devices to pull Axels tube. Lily frowned. "I asked you to be careful…" "Apologizes Lady Lily…" Oichi looked at Orochi. "Can you help them?" He frowns. "The quicker you help, the quicker we can leave." Orochi sighs and nods. He walked over to them. "Move." He says. Using his shape shifting powers he turned his arm into a many serpents. They grabbed the tank and started to pull it along with the scientists. Lily smiles at him. "Deep down, he is a nice guy." Oichi smiled. "Yeah… he treats me so gently and his people skills are getting better. He didn't snap at people when they can to talk to me at the market." Lily chuckled. "That is an improvement.
As Orochi and the scientists left with the tube, one lone man in the shadows closed the door behind them. With a smirk on his face, he locked the door. He turned around to Oichi and Lily. "Oh, is there something you need?" Lily asked. Walking out of the shadows the man chuckled. Oichi blinks at him. He had long brown hair and golden eyes. On his waist was a black sword. "Yes, there is something I need." He took out the blade. "I need for all of you to die!" Lily's and Oichi's eyes widen as the man came for him.
Dawn was frowning at Clover, they where in the living room has Roxas was in hi bouncer. Clover sighed "stop frowning me woman" Dawn bites her lip "That Queen to you" Clover laughed "You are no queen to me" "My, my you must be clover" Clover's eyes widen and his body went stiff and his body moved on it's own has he stood up to see a Selena 'who is this woman..?' Dawn smiled "Hello Lady Selena" Selena smiled "hello Queen Dawn" Dracula stepped from behind her and Clover gasped "Drac…?" Dracula narrowed at him "Don't call me that like we are friends, you betrayed that trust many years ago Clover" Selena sighs "Enough love" she looked more at Clover and was suddenly by him making him gasp has she grabbed his chin "Mhmm, I can sense him still there. Draven, the real owner of this body… he's really in a deep sleep in his own mind…" Dracula sighs and sat down "So can you remove Clover from Draven's body?" Selena frowned "No… their souls are combined by dark magic… but I would have to go into the deity realm and look into the deities library… Dracula love I'll be right back" she said disappearing.
Roxas looked at Dracula and smiled brightly at him. Dracula chuckled "Hello little one" Dawn smiled "So is any of the books true…?" Dracula blinked and laughed "Some of it but first, Clover sit" Clover obeyed and sat down. Dawn blinked and chuckled "so tell me what was Zach like? I know he's old… he was born in the edge of the ancient Egyptians" Dracula chuckled "Well the books have my age wrong, I was first created when Selena came to being, I was the first vampire to be ever created. Around the time of 1462 I became emperor and known of Vlad"
In the lab, Lily grabbed the man and palmed him in the chest. He gasps out as he crashed into the machines. "Oichi get out of here now!" Oichi frowned. "But grandma!" "Leave now!" Oichi bit her lip as she waddled to the door they came through. Lily glared at the man. "Who are you? Speak." The man sat up and looked at Oichi trying to leave. He looked at Lily. "It looks like your still alive. Don't worry I'll take care of that soon." He got up. "You will join Faye in the afterlife and soon your granddaughter and her bastard children!" Lily's eyes narrowed. "Dorian..." Oichi stopped and looked at him. "Then that means… that body is." Dorian chuckled. "Yes, our son Oichi." Oichi grips her fist. "You… you monster! How could you take MY sons ashes! How dare you trick Ayden! You will pay for what you have done!" Her eyes turned blue and her aura flared up. She then grunts out holding her stomach. She couldn't use her aura powers as much as wanted.
Dorian held up the blade. "You say that now, but you will be joining your husband soon enough, I can promise you that!" Lily stood in front of his view of her. "Oichi I told you to leave. You can't control your powers while you're that far along. You will be in danger to yourself and the babies." Oichi frowned and went to the door. "Your not going anywhere!" He ran to her but a kick came to his face knocking him back. He glared at Lily. "Don't underestimate me Dorian. Anthony has taught me well." He growls "and look where he ended up!"
Oichi made it to the door and went to open it. When she did a blade was stabbed in her shoulder. She screams out as she was pushed down to the floor. She looked up to see Lila. "Lila!?" Lila frowned. "Oichi… I'm. Sorry about this… if you stay there, I won't do more than I have to." Oichi sat up. "Y-You side with Dorian!" "Not by choice… but it's better than the alternative." Lily glanced back and frowned. Dorian tried getting past her. She grabbed his face and slammed him into the ground. "I see I'll have to put you down first woman!" He Kicked Lily in the side brushing her to the side. "Lila, You keep Oichi there. Ill finish this quick before that beast gets back." Lily rubbed her side and her eyes turned yellow. "You will pay for that."
Jess was turning in bed making Rick and Chida look worried "Don't tell us your going into labor…." Jess frowned "No… I feel something is uneasy and the boys can sense it from me… they keep moving around…" Rick and Chida frowned and sat down next to her and they both their hands down on her stomach "boys calm down, your hurting your mother" Jess closes her eyes has she felt calmer "Thank you…" they smiled at her and kissed her making her smile "I need sleep.. please nap with me?" they nodded with a smile and laid down with her has she soon passed out.
Lily clawed Dorian chest open. He slid back. "Bitch!" Oichi could only watch. "Grandma…" Lila looked at her. "Don't move Oichi…I don't want to hurt you anymore." Oichi looked down. "Why are you with Dorian..." Lila frowned. "I was the one who freed Saki's mother… and helped wake Xavier my great great grandfather." Oichi snaps her head up. "After he sided with that witch, I left his side and hide away. I couldn't return. Dorian found me and forced me to work for him. It was better than dying..." The floor cracked under Oichi. "You… because of you Xavier was set free… he and Dorian… took my son and Saki away from me…" Lila backed up. "Oichi… I don't want you to hurt you anymore then I have to." Oichi turned to her with anger blue eyes. "Hurt ME!" Oichi foot kicked Lila in her ankle. She dropped to a knee and Oichi's aura claw grabbed her. Lila screams out as she was thrown into Dorian. They both hit the wall." Lily frowned. "Oichi…" She rushed to her but Oichi's aura pushed her back. "Dorian…."
Dorian pushed Lila off of him. "Worthless pile of shit. I should have just done this myself!" Lila frowned holding her shoulder. "Make yourself useful!" He through a black dagger at her. She grabbed it and looked at Lily who was making it to Oichi. Outside the lab, after Orochi help strapped Axels tool in, he felt a pulse in his chest. He frowned feeling off. 'Oichi…' He ran back to the lab.
Oichi took a deep breath as she felt more pain in her stomach. She was sweeting due to her powers cooking her. Lily helped her up. "Let's go dear. If you stay here then." Lily's eyes widen as she felt pain in her back. She turned to see Lila who has used her speed to stab her. Lily frown and grabbed Lila's wrist. "Foolish girl!" She pushed her back and then dropped to a knee. She felt drain. "What is this…" "Grandma!?" Dorian appeared in front of Oichi and grabbed Lily. "Be thankful that I won't kill you this time!" He threw Lily away from Oichi. "You can sit there and watch."
Oichi looked up at Dorian with a glare. "You… mark my word. You will die!" Dorian smirked and grabbed her hair he tossed her over on his back. "You are about to die so your threats mean nothing! To be killed by your own son's hand!" Oichi eyes widen as he held up the blade. "Meet your end just like your husband! It felt so good to put that dagger through his heart! Your son was too weak to do it you know ahaha!" Lily's eyes widen. "OICHI!"
Dorian pushed the bladed into her chest. Oichi screams out as she tried to grab the blade from getting pushed in deeper. Dorian laughed kicking her hand away. He pushed in deeper and he watched her powers get absorbed. Oichi cough up blood as she felt extremely weak. Her vision was fading. "Die, Die, Die!" Dorian yells pushing the blade even deeper.
The door he locked was then kicked down. Orochi rushed in and his eyes turned red in anger to see this. "You!" He ran to Dorian but Lila guarded him. Orochi smacked her away. "Out of my way!" He reached Dorian and ripped his arm right off. Dorians eyes widen as he was punched through the wall by Orochi. Lily grunts as she gets up. "The sword! Pull it out! It's killing her!" She yelled. Orochi frowned and was about to grabbed it when the sword turned bright blue. It started to crack the more Oichi's power was absorbed.
Dorian grabbed the corner of the wall and sat up. He held his bleeding shoulder and looked at the sword cracking. He chuckled. He then felt a pulse in his chest. "The hell!?" A tear ran down his cheek making him frown. He ignored it for now. "Either way she will die. The sword is useless to me." Lila, with a swollen face, appeared behind Lily and took the dagger out of her back. She then ran to Dorian. She grabbed him and ran off.
The sword in Oichi's chest cracked more and finally it shattered releasing all the power it had out. It pushed Lily and Orochi back. The room was filled up with light. When it died down. The hilt and part of the sword was laying by Oichi. Lily shook as she got up. She couched out and held her head. It was ringing. Orochi sat up and frowned. He ran to Oichi. Her chest was spilt open slightly from the sword. He could see pieces of the sword in her wounds. "Not good…the sword absorbs power and it stopping her healing factor from kicking in." Lily frowned. "Oichi!"
In Xacron, Deerward's statue started to shake. The nature around it started to die. The skies started to darken. The waves grew angry as it splashed violently against the shore. The lands started to shake in anger. People frowned as their flowers and gardens started to die. The forest started to lose their leaves. The wind blew sharply and coldly. Balaji appeared beside Deerward's statue. "Hey! You dumb deer! Calm down! Your anger is killing the nature around you!" His statue was suddenly glowing as a light beamed down. Deerward floated out of it with a dark look on his face.
"Deerward…" Large deer horns grew on his head. The lower half of his body turned into a deer. His skin turned pure white. Balaji took a step back. His body followed the light and his presence disappeared from the statue.
Jess snapped awake with a gasp making Rick and Chida jolt "Oichi..! OICHI!" their eyes widen "Jess what's wrong?" Jess bites her lip "Deerward… his angry…. I have to the island…" she got up slowly, they frowned at her "how are you gonna get there?!" "Jess your pregnant! You can't go there, it will take days…." Jess bites her lip has she started to glow "Not a problem for Manon to bring me there! He is getting highly worried and fearful of nature itself" she said has Manon's light appeared next to her "hold tight" he said has his light ingulf her they flew out of the window.
Rick and Chida where frowned "what do we do..?" Chida asked, Rick frowned "lets go to father and tell, hey angel boy! Your in charge of the house!" they shouted and jumping out of the window. Michael peeking in and he frowned "Jess… please be safe…"
In the lab, Orochi held up Oichi. "We have to get her help! She won't survive if those pieces stay inside!" Orochi eyes widen looking at her stomach. "The girls…" Suddenly the room shook. Lily gasps as she and Orochi were lifted up slightly. "Deerward…" The saw Oichi's body being shielded in light as Deerward in his true form appeared. His eyes darkened more to see Oichi.
"D-Deerward…my dearest Deity… please calm down…Your anger brings danger to our home." Orochi struggled to get out. "Let me go!" He yelled as his eyes turned red. "Release me now!" Deerward brushed his hand to the side. Orochi's eyes widen as he was slammed into the wall. "Silence. I will release you when I see fit. Try to command me again and I'll turn you into a dust." Lily bit her lip. The lab was being expanded and started crack and shake from the pressure of Deerward's anger.
Suddenly a overpowering power appeared and bright light appeared "Brother please calm yourself down, your anger is upsetting my vessel" he said has Jess stepped out of the light and her eyes widen to see Oichi "O-Ochi….?!" She ran up to her place her hand on the barrier over her. "Brother please, you are putting nature out of balance…. my daughter, your niece is trying the best she can right to heal what you caused… I understand your vessel was injured but you need to calm down so we can heal her" Manon's full form appeared, he had the worried look in his eyes.
Deerward ignored Manon as he turned his head. His eyes looked at a wall. It crumbled creating a hole. He held up his hand and it made a larger whole. They could hear someone screaming. Lily frowned. 'Please tell me he isn't killing anyone…' Manon sighed "idiot…" Jess frowned "Deerward please stop this"
Through the walls Lila appeared. She coughed out and blood ran down her forehead. Deerward frowned. "I missed…" Lila was slammed into the ground and pressed down hard as the ground underneath her started to crack. "Deerward no! Anymore and she will die! She would prove no value of you if she does!" Lily yelled out. Jess bites her lip "Please STOP!"
Deerward closed his eyes and heard Oichi wheeze out. Her injuries were getting worse. He let out a deep sigh that caused a mini earthquake. His anger settled and Oichi was lifted in his bubble. Lily, Orochi, and Lila was inside a bubble. Orochi started to bang on the bubble making it crack slightly. Deerward narrows his eyes and snapped his fingers. Chains from inside the bubble held Orochi still. Deerward closed his eyes. "It's best to head back to Xacron. Oichi is at the point where she facing a choice… to either live or accept death… even if I heal her, if she chooses to die… she will die…" Deerward's body glowed and he disappeared back to Xacron with Oichi and the others. Manon engulfed Jess again and followed after Deerward.
In Xacron, Julian was at the hospital collecting his notes when a bright light appeared. He shield his eyes and then opened them to see Deerward. His eyes widen. "Oichi is in critical condition. You need to keep her alive until she makes a decision." "Wha…" He held his hand and Oichi floated down on the bed. "Oichi!? Those injuries!" Lily appeared and drops down. "Julian! Hurry please!" Deerward looked at her stomach. "She's going into labor…" Julian frowned. "I need to take her to the emergency room! Lady Lily please get checked out as well." Lily nodded as Julian rushed out and call for nurses. Manon and Jess appeared, Jess was panicking "Oichi…." Manon rubbed her back, he looked at his brother "Deerward… please try and calm yourself down…"
Deerward reached down and touched Oichi's forehead. "It will be a difficult decision… it is your choice if you wish to live or die. Please think about the consequences of both…as for your mate. I'll will take him with me. We have things to discuss…" He disappeared. Jess frowned "Oichi…. Please don't leave us.. please… don't leave me…"
Julian rushed back in with nurses. "To the emergency room now!" The nurses nodded and pushed the bed out with Oichi. Julian rushed out behind him contacting, Terrance. Manon rubbed her back more and looked at Lily "please help to keep her calm lady Lily"
Jess frowned at him "Your leaving?" Manon nodded "I must return into the cosmos, I'll be back to check on you" he kissed her forehead and disappeared into light. Tears came down her face "Oh Oichi… please don't leave…" "Jess… let's go to the waiting room. You shouldn't be on your feet right now." She grabbed her hand. "Oichi will not leave us…" Jess tears and nodded walking with Lily to the waiting room.
In front of his statue Deerward dropped Orochi. Orochi growled at him. "Listen… to me…Oichi must not die. You will help her." Orochi frowned and got up. "How?" "The phoenix feather Lucifer created you with…use that power to keep her alive." Orochi grabbed his chest. "Fine." "I was expecting more of a fight from you. I was ready to crush you into dirt." "Oichi is the only person who has seen me as a regular person. Treated me with a shred of humanity and showed me that I can love… I won't let her die." Deerward sighs. "Very well…I must go and repair the damages I've caused." He disappeared. Orochi frowned and opened a portal to the hospital.
In the emergency room, Oichi was in surgery. She had to get a C-section as well. She was hooked to the monitor and breathing mask. Julian frowned as he picked out a black shattered piece out of her chest. "Oichi… what happened to you…"
Out in the waiting room, Zach who had his doctors coat on, Rick, Chida and Dawn who was Roxas rushed in "Jess!" Jess looked up with dry tears "Dorian…" that's all she said. Zach bites his lip and rushed into the surgery room to help out Julian. Rick and Chida knelled down in front of Jess holding her hands "Tell us what happen…" Jess sniffed "Dorian… stabbed her with the same blade they used on Saki…" their eyes widen. Dawn frowned and sat down bouncing Roxas "Oichi…."
Moments later, Danni rushed in with Adaline, Zane and Frank. She was pale. "Oichi! Where is she!" Zane was carrying the car seat. Dawn frowned "In surgery room with Julian and Zach" Rick and Chida where holding Jess to calm her down.
Lily walked back from getting her back checked out. "Danni…" Danni turned her hug. "Lily!" She hugged her. "Are you okay!?" Lily nodded. "I'm so sorry. I couldn't protect Oichi and the girls…" Danni pulled away. "You have nothing to apologize about. Julian and Zach will make sure Oichi and the girls will be okay." Dawn sighs deeply sadden "Oh Oichi… and the girls… I hope they will be alright…"
Terrance rushed up. "Danni… I need your help…" Danni frowned. They could hear a commotion in the hall way. Danni frowned and went to the lobby. There she saw Jayden yelling at a nurse. "Where is my mom! You take me to her now!" He yelled punching a hole in the wall. The nurse jumped. "I'm sorry… Julian asked for everyone to stay out." Jayden growled out. Kaleb and the twins frowned watching. They couldn't calm Jayden down when he got this way.
"Jayden!" Jayden jumped and turned to Danni. "You don't think we all are worried about Oichi and the babies!" "But grandma…!" "No buts! You calm down now! Everyone is worried and they don't need you throwing a fit! Now go to the waiting room!" Jayden bit his lip and stormed to the waiting room. Danni sighs out. "That boy…" Kaleb and the twins ran to her and hugged her. In tears. She hugged them. "It's okay… it's okay. Your mom and sisters are going to be fine."
Aerith, Ebony, Rose, Bella and Azaya had rushed from their dorm rooms all in panic "Where's auntie? Is she alright?" they al asked, Jess sniffed tearing "We hope she is… Zach and Julian are taking care of her and the girls" Aerith frowned and see Jayden, she walked over to him and held his hands "Jay.. auntie Oichi is strong, her and the girls will be okay…" Jayden frowned, staying silent.
Paxton rushed in with Semyaza and Marcellus. "Are they still in the back?" He asked. Terrance nodded. "Zach is helping Julian with her." Paxton frowned. "What happened?" Terrance took out the room to talk to him. Semyaza sat beside Azaya holding her hand. Jayden walked in with Kaleb and the twins. She sighs sitting down. "Why can't that bastard stay dead. First my dad now my daughter…" She tears up.
In the emergency room, a portal opened and Orochi walked in. Julian frowned as Zach took care of the C-section. "Out. Now. I don't care what kind of demon you are, Oichi is in critical condition." Orochi frowned at him. "I will not leave but I will wait until your finished." Julian sighs. "Fine."
Hours went by, and a nurse walked in. Danni sat up. "Is Oichi alright? The girls?" The nurse sighs sadly. "Lady Oichi had a C-section. The girls have been taking to the maternity ward and you can see them if you wish but they have to stay in the incubator." Jess's eyes widen "she had a C-section…" Dawn frowned at this. Aerith sniffed in Jayden's chest.
"And what about Oichi?" "They are still working on her. There are strange shards in her chest. They are preventing her healing faction and is draining not only her powers but her life force. I'm sorry but she is currently lingering between life and death…" Jess had tears down her face "Oh Oichi…." Rick and Chida held her and trying to calm her down. Azaya, Rose, Bella and Aerith where both also tearing.
"C-Can we see our sisters?" Alisha asked. The nurse nodded. "Of course, princess. Follow me." The twins got up and followed after the nurse. Kaleb, Marcellus and Lily went as well.
Following the nurse to the maternity ward. They went into a private hall were the girls were at. They came to a window and saw nurses taking care of the girls. They were asleep. They all had black and white short hair and light brown skin. Alisha smiled. "Our sisters! Will they be okay?" The nurse nodded. "Yes, they were due around January, so they were born premature. They need a little time in the incubator and then they will be free to be with their mother."
Marcellus was looking at the last Quad. She had a strange yet familiar scent. He frowned until Alisha grabbed his hand. "Mama never told us if she named them…" Lily smiles. "She had names but it's better to let her get through this first."
"Grandma!" They saw Takara and Yaris rushing up. "The nurses said the babies were born!? How is mama!?" "Still in surgery." Kaleb says sighing. Thalia and Oberon walked up with Kendrick. "Lady Lily. Thank goodness you're alright." Lily smiled at them. "Yes, it was a close call but I can't expect myself to do something Ronnie couldn't do. I just wanted to keep Oichi and the children safe as much as I could."
Thalia walked up to her and hugged her. "You did your best Lily dear. The girls are safe and Oichi will pull through." Lily nodded hugging her back. Thalia let her go and looked at the girls. "They are adorable. I wonder what eye color they will have." Oberon looked at the last quad. "Something is off about the last one…" Marcellus nods. "There is… but I can't tell what it is..." They looked at them for a bit longer. "Only time will tell I suppose. Let's go back to the waiting room." Lily says, guiding them back.
Deliora and Ronnie rushed in, Alaric was with Aurora back in Ravenswood "how's Oichi?" she asked "She's in surgery…. They had to give her a C-section… the girls where born a month premature" Jess says softly. Deliora's eyes widen "Oichi…" Ronnie frowned and sighs. 'Again he torments her…I have to settle this before anything else happens…'
Day turned to a late night before, Julian came into the waiting room. Danni, who was leaning on Frank sat up. "Julian!? Oichi!? How is she?" Julian sighs. "We managed to get the shards out of her chest. It nearly drained her dry of both her life and powers. The good news is with a few weeks of rest, her powers and healing factors will start to kick back in… the bad news is… she is in a Coma. We do not know when she will wake up, if she decides to wake up at all…" Jess closes her eyes and started to tear "Oichi…." Rick and Chida held her "please don't leave us…"
"Can we see her?" Danni asked squeezing her hands together. "Yes, but only through the watch glass. Her condition can change at any time and we have to be ready for it. Zach should have her moved up to the room now." Terrance walked in. "Ron… a word…" Ronnie nods and got up and left with him. Julian sighs. "I can only let a few come at a time. Danni...and Jess please pick one of your fiancés to come with you. Only one of them can accompany you for the moment." Jess nodded and took Rick's hand "You first Rick" Rick nodded. Jess looked at the girls "when we are done you can come and see her" the girls nodded to her.
"Lady Lily if you wish to come. You can as well" Jayden frowned. "I want to see her!" "I know you do young prince but, Orochi is refusing to leave her side. Would you be able to control your emotions around him?" Jayden bit his lip. Just the thought of Orochi being near his mother was making him angry. "I'll be back for the next ones who wishes to see her. Jay if you can tolerate just a little of your anger then you can see her as well." He walked out the room. Danni and Lily followed. Jayden tenses up and hits the wall making another hole. Jess frowns but follows Julian with the others.
Azaya had the phone in her hand "Mom and dad are gonna be coming here any minute know.."
Julian led Danni and others down a private hall way. They came to a door and he head his beads up. "Doctor Julian Moore, require entry." At the side of the door a scanner appears and scan his beads. "Welcome Doctor." They heard Rex say. The door opened and the walked in. The halls here looked much newer than the rest of the hospital. They could see blue lining appear and disappear along the walls. There were empty rooms on the side with bolted doors. Reaching the last room on that floor. Julian placed his hand on the window and it cleared to show them Oichi. Danni gasps as tear ran down her cheeks.
Oichi was there, with her chest heavily wrapped and hooked up to a heart monitor and a few other machines. Zach was inside the room checking her vitals one last time. Orochi was sitting in a chair beside the bed. His eyes looked empty but he was watching Oichi like a hawk, like he was waiting on something.
Lily frowned as she put her head down. Upset with herself. Julian saw Danni's knees buckle and he rushed to catch her. "Please tell me she's going to be okay…" Danni says crying. "I'm sorry, we did as much as we could. It's up to her to wake up now…" Jess was wiping her eyes with some tissue "she's strong and I know she would never leave her children… she will be alright I know she will" Rick nodded "She will be alright"
"Danni… I truly apologize… I wish that I could have done something but…" Danni rubs her eyes and hugs Lily. "I told you it's not your fault. Dorian will pay for what he has done. If I'm going to blame anyone it is him and him alone…" Jess gripped her fist "He is gonna pay for this…" Rick held her hand "he will.."
In the ward, Ronnie was looking at the girls. Terrance was beside him. "They are quite adorable yes?" Ronnie nodded. "Yeah… what was it that you wish to speak to me about?" Terrance nods. "I'm afraid that news is already getting out about Lady Oichi. We were unable to stop a few people from spreading the word. Soon the people will want answers…" Ronnie sighs. "I don't think me taking charge, while Oichi is down will work. She built this place and it's her kingdom. I don't wish to in danger all the work she has done. You will have to find another." Terrance frowned. "There is no other Ron. The children are too young and her siblings are not even in the requirement bracket. I cannot continue to stand in front of the people and feed them lines."
"I said no… if anything I will console you and the others but my ruling days are done." Terrance sighs. "I see… then what should we do?" "Call a meeting with the wolve's tribes and anyone who you have ties with on this island. You tell them everything first and then together you figure the next plan." Terrance nods. "Very well then. I should get going…" He turned and quickly left. Ronnie places his hand on the window looking at the girls. "Forgive me little ones… I will not let your mother suffer my curse any longer…"
Jess and Rick walked back in the waiting room, Rick sat down. Jess looked at Jayden and held out her hand "Come on lets go see your mother" Aerith got off Jayden's lap and smiled "Go on hun"
Jayden frowns and got up and reached out to grab Jess hand. Just then time started to slow down. Semyaza blinks and looks around as everything started to come to a halt. "What's… going on?" Azaya blinked "Is… time stopping…?" Aerith, Bella and Rose frowned looking around.
Once time can to a slow stop, only Jess, Aerith, and Semyaza were looking around. Around Bella neck, her necklace glowed freeing her. She looked around until she felt something land on her head. A small shadow creature looked down at her with hollow eyes.
"Not too surprising…" They looked to see Samuel there in a black suit. Semyaza frowned. "Who are you? Why do you have no scent!" Samuel smiles. "I'm the grim reaper. In due time you will recognize my scent more times then you care to count." Semyaza blinked at him. "The… reaper…wait are you here for…auntie!? What do you mean by more times than I can count…" Jess frowned "Sam… your not here to take her… are you?" Azaya's, Bella's and Aerith's eyes widen at him 'take auntie….?'
The shadow creature on Bella head slipped off and slithered to Samuel sitting on his shoulder. "I am here for Oichi but not in the way you think." He looked at Jayden who was stopped in time. "I'm here to keep my promise to Sakamoto. His last wishes. All his children and their significant others must appear in front of Balaji statute in the garden on the 14th of January, midnight. That is also the crucial time for Oichi's decision. Her choice to live or die. I only came to deliver this message." He looked at Bella and smiled softly. "You have grown…" He grabbed the shadow creature. He glowed black and then appeared back on Bella's head. "Farwell." Bella smiled "bye grandpa" Aerith's eyes widen "Grandpa…?" Azaya blinked "you didn't know he was? I knew already.." Jess sighs softly "farewell Sam"
Time went back to normal just as Ross and Kaci with Hannibal walked in. Ross looked around. "Shoot. We just missed the reaper. I had questions for him…anyways how is Oichi?" Jess frowned "She's in a coma… she had a C-Section, the girls where born premature" Kaci's eyes widen "…. Oichi… the girls…" Jess nodded; she took Jayden's hand "come on lets go see your mom" Jayden nodded feeling a bit dizzy. He rubbed his ears 'Could have sworn I heard someone else taking in here…'
Deliora walked out of the bathroom and sat back down to see Ronnie stepped back, she looked at him "Ronnie what did Terrance talk to you about?" "He wanted me to take over until she woke." Deliora's eyes widen "he did….? What did you say?" Jess looked surprised this.
"I gave my title up because I wasn't fit to rule. Me and Oichi see things differently. I do not want to mess anything up that she has built. She has gain great favors with the noble vampires, the wolves' tribes, demon clans, witches and so much more. I couldn't bear to destroy that… so I told Terrance I would consult him and the others. They are to gather everyone who is aligned to Oichi here on the island and tell them what happen. Then as a group to figure out the next step. I'd hate to say it but this would be a great time to have a council. A small group of people she trusts the most. That way if something like this happen, they wouldn't be panicking now." Ronnie sighs. "I cannot step back into a ruling position even if it's temporary…" Jess closes her eyes "I'll take Jayden to see his mother, I'll be back and we can talk about this" she said and walked with Jayden.
Kaci sat down with Hannibal "I hope Oichi will be alright…" the girls nodded to what he said. Rose got up with Zane "Come on let's go see auntie" she said has Dawn came back from seeing Oichi and sat down.
Julian and Zach were standing outside the window of Oichi's room. Orochi was still inside. Zach held up the container of black shards and handed them to Julian. "All we can do is wait now. Those pieces are shards from a blade." Zach says. Julian nodded. "Orochi said a blade exploded into her chest…" He held up the container. "I'll send them to Yain. Maybe he can put it back together and find a clue to were Dorian is or whoever made the blade…" Zach nodded.
They looked in to see Orochi. "Is it alright to leave him in there?" Zach asked. "He will behave. Hopefully. I think he could be like a guard dog in a way. The moment something happens I doubt he would let me rest until I come check on her." Julian crossed his arms. "… that look in his eye however… it's like he is waiting on something to happen. I don't like it…" Jayden rushed to the window. "Mom…" He frowned looking at Orochi but sighed mentally.
Jess see's the shards and frowned "Is that… the shards of the sword?" Zach nodded "Yeah they are" Jess frowned "Can I take some to get the, tested at the magic council?" "Yes, after Rex over looks them he will have a few sent to you in a protective container. Thank for your help with Oichi. I'll need to send these quickly." He says to Zach before leaving. Zach smiled "Thank you for letting me help Julian"
Jayden puts his forehead on the window tearing up. "Mom…" Inside her room, Orochi looks up and turned to Jayden. He frowned and looked back at Oichi. "You're not going to die. I'll save you even if I have to kill myself to do it…"
Rose and Zach walked over next to Jess and Jayden, Rose frowned "Oh Auntie… please don't go…" Zach rubbed her back "she ill be alright, she is tough"
On the morning of Christmas eve, In the outskirts of Ravenswood, Dorian walked in a cave leaning against the wall. He grunts out holding his wounded shoulder. "Damn monster… took my fucking arm. I'll kill him…" He rubs his finger along the wall and opened a secret door. He stumbled in as it closed behind him. Inside the ruins of his own hideout he had rebuilt a temporary lab. "Took the damn woman I kidnap. She was worthless anyways!" He made it to the table and sat down. He grabbed a needle that had green liquid in it. "I doubt that girl is dead… if only I had a bit more time." He Injected the needle in his shoulder and sighs out as the pain started to fade. He grabbed some bandages and started to wrap his shoulder. While he did that he sighed. "You think I wouldn't know someone was here in my own lab?" In the shadows he saw figures appeared. Wilhelm was one of them. He bows.
"Lord Dorian. I am…" "A tool who is about to die. I know all about your clan boy. After all I was the one who created it. Now where is your clan leader." Wilhelm chuckled as another man walked out the shadows. He had short black hair, black eyes, and wearing a sharp dark blue suit. "Dorian…" "Blake… your still alive I see…" Blake took a seat at the table. "I've learned to survive thanks to you." "What do you want. I have no time to be playing tag with you."
Blake chuckled. "Of course not. I'm here to return the Marrow clan back to you. Although we are short in numbers since, we attacked the kingdom of Xacron." Dorian raised an eyebrow. "You attacked Xacron? How did you get past the barrier?" Blake leans back. "By hiding in plain sight. Some of the clan members were already members of Xacron so it made it easy. Allthough we did run into more trouble than we needed. I was hoping if I gave you back the clan you created then maybe you could help us out here."
Dorian frowned. "I see, well I don't want your clan as it is. When I ran it, no one knew who or what had killed anyone. Even my brother was at lost for words. It's grown weak and then you had the nerve to break the clan up and join the Glimmer tribe. A bunch of weak pansies. Only for them to cast you right back out! Why should I take this shamble clan back. You ruined all my work. This clan was going to be what help me overthrow my brother back then."
"We can't help you with that but we can take over Xacron… I have men and women who would give their lives for me. Loyal fools who would rather die then to get paid. If we combine my people with… your cloning process… think of how many loyal and dispensable solders we can create. A army with no fear, no emotions, just one goal…" Dorian thought about this and smirked. "Hmmm… not bad… why not. I have nothing but time on my hands now." Blake nodded and snapped his fingers. "One more thing…" Dorian watched another shadow appear and a wolf with Matsuri appeared. He frowned. "This woman… the mother of Sakamoto...of the Ruska family." "Indeed." "Why is she here." "Do not worry, she has long betrayed her family. It is thanks to her that Xavier woke from his slumber."
Matsuri knells. "Lord Dorian… all I wish for… is the destruction of Oichi and her entire family. I will do anything to make it come true. For the last few years I have been training with the Marrow clan, gathering Information on whatever I can get. Allow me to walk with you and we can place you on your rightful throne. Only you are worthy of ruling." Dorian sighs. "You vampire women are popping up everywhere… fine but the moment you piss me off I'll have your head." Matsuri nods. "Thank you…"
Blake got up. "We should go. This place may get tracked down soon. We should take what you need and leave this place for good." Dorian got up and chuckled. "Excellent. Let us go now. We have a lot more to discuss."
In Xacron, a meeting was being held in the castle. Terrance had called and gathered all those who allied under Oichi on the island. Terrance, Paxton, Bracken and Yain were sitting down at the table with Mason, Jethro, and the other tribes, clans, and nobles. Terry and Terra were standing behind Terrance on guard.
Terry sighs sadly. Oichi still hasn't shown any signs of waking up. He should have just gone with her. He felt a pat on his back. He saw Terra smiling at him. "It's no time to blame yourself." Terry nodded.
Terrance cleared his throat. "Good morning everyone. Thank you for meeting us here. We have a few things to discuss. I would like for you all to wait until I'm done to voice your concerns. Firstly, I will explain Queen Oichi's conditions and what lead up to them."
Jess was laying in bed with some back pains, Rick and Chida frowned sitting next to her "You alright?" "You aren't going into labor are you?" Jess sighs "I don't know…" Rick got up "I'll call dad" he says taking out his phone, Zach answered moments later "Dad I need to you to come here, Jess is having pains…. Alright thank you" he hanged up "He's on his way over here" Jess nodded groaned. Chida reached out and gently rubbed her arm but then his eyes widen and felt a sting and his vampiric aura being sucked making him gasp and jump, Rick and Jess's eyes widen "Chida you alright?" Rick asked walking over to him. Chida looked down at his hand and it was burnt, his eyes widen. Jess blinked "Chida…?" Chida showed her his hand "it's the same thing when you were caring Aerith…" Jess frowned "but why know…?" Rick frowned "wait what happen with" he didn't finish when Levis was talking to him. Rick frowned "Aerith kept sucking your life force…?" Jess nodded "But I kept it under control with drinking blood a lot"
Zach walked through the door "Jess how are you feeling?" Jess frowned "I think the boys are sucking my life force like Aerith did but why know?" Zach frowned and walked over putting his hand on her arm and his eyes widen and pulled back "Yup… and I don't know why know for all times, Rex" Rex appeared "How can I help you?" "Since none of us can touch Jess because the boys are sucking her life force… can you scan her and the boys and see if she is labor?" Rex nodded "Of course King Zach" he scanned Jess, finishing scanning "scan complete, she is currently not in labor just in pain from her life force being sucked I recommend for Jess to drink a lot of blood to stop the pains" Zach nodded "Thank you Rex, How is Oichi doing?"
"She is still unresponsive and show no signs of waking up. There is a meeting happening at this time to decided one what to do about situations. As well the girls as always doing fine except for the last one. She is currently experiencing some rare fever. She is currently in quarantine away from her sisters until she is better. All though…" His eyes flashed white. "Is there anything I can do for you?" Rex asked cutting the conversation short. "No, thank you Rex" Res disappeared and Zach looked at Jess "Well then, lets get you some blood" Jess nodded, Rick and Chida smiled at her "WE will get you some" they said and rushed out of the room. Zach chuckled "well then, if you feel any more pain just call me alright?" Jess nodded "Alright, thanks Zach"
In the meeting room, eyes widen as Terrance finished going over everything about Oichi and even about her connection with Orochi. The room was silent for a while until one spoke up
"Okay… since the Queen is in a coma and No one know when she will wake… should we each take on a duty of some sort?" Mason crossed his arms. "Something like that…our queen had many duties despite what you think." Jethro hums out. "Should we form a council?" Paxton frowned. "Well. the last time that happened it didn't end so well. If we are willing to put our differences aside then maybe It could work." Terrance nod. "I think we could try it. A temporary council to help run Xacron will lady Oichi is down. Once she wakes and decides what to do next, we will disband." They nodded. "Great, let's spilt up the duties between us. If you have a better outlook on communication then you will be in charge of that. We need a treasury, someone to collect and withhold information, all of the works. So, let's decided and we will go from there."
At the hospital, Orochi was watching Oichi until the time stopped and the started. He looked up to see Samuel. "What are you doing here death…" "To let someone in. Right now, he is visiting someone else. He will be here shortly."
Over at Jess's, Rick and Chida were back with blood for Jess. They then felt a cold chill run up their spine. "Boy… I gotta say I'm glad I don't have a twin. There is no way I'd share my woman." They turned to see Sakamoto wearing a green kimono and white Haori over his shoulders. His long white hair was spiked out and he had a slick green flower fan in his hand. "Hey there." He says fanning himself. Jess's eyes widen and gasped loudly "Up! Up!" Rick and Chida chuckled and put some special gloves Ross had dropped off for them letting them touch her, taking her hands they pulled up then handing her the cup with the blood in it. Taking her long sip of it she was right by Sakamoto with a bright happy smile "Sakamoto! You're here!" Rick and Chida chuckled "Yo"
Sakamoto chuckled. "Here in spirit I suppose. Sam gave you my message. I'd like to see all my kids in the garden on the 14th. Gotta make sure they got someone important in their life's before I decided to move on for the last time." Jess blinked "I see"
Sakamoto moved a piece if hair out of his face. "I'm also here to talk to Oichi. Not going to lie, a part of me wants to convince her to be with me. I don't want Orochi to have her but I don't want to leave the kids alone. Such a difficult decision…" Jess sighs softly "I know Sakamoto.. the kids still needs their mother" Rick and Chida nodded.
"All I'll say is that it's up to her if she wishes to cross that line. Pushing that to the side for now. I got another stop to make. I want to see my girls." He reached into his kimono and took out a reaper coin. "This is for you. Consider it a late birthday gift. I'm sure you know what it is and what you can do with it. Don't waste it."
Jess blinked and took it "a reaper coin… these are very rare… I of course know what it is and does but why give me a reaper coin…?"
"You might need it one day." Sakamoto says shrugging. "I'm dead here. Not many gifts I can give you know. Take it and hold on to it. Anyways, I'm just passing through to see how you were doing." He pointed his fan at Rick. "Funny thing tho. It seems Jayden doesn't like you at all. It's hilarious to see him ignore you just like Takara when she was a baby. My girls won't like you either. So have fun with that if Oichi names a Godparent." He laughs. Rick frowned at him, Jess chuckled "Sakamoto, thank you for coming here and checking up on me" she started to cry "I'm so… happy…" Chida and Rick blinked at her and chuckled "Hormones" they said at the same time. Then she jumped and blinked down at her tummy has Sakamoto was touching her tummy, she gasped "you can touch…." Sakamoto chuckled "I'm dead, they have nothing to leech off from" Rick pouted "Not fair… we have to wear these special gloves…."
Sakamoto chucked. "Great! Another good moment of me being dead. To get to do something you can't do." He then sighs. "Well it was nice seeing you guys. Originally, I had plan to takes us to a place the four of us remember greatly. To catch up on everything that I missed but faith always has a way of changing." He looked at Jess. "Watch out for my kids and Oichi." He smiled softly and waved his hand before disappearing. Jess tears with a smile "I will Sakamoto, I promise I will"
Finally gone, Jess whipped her tears "alright I better have some Christmas cookies, cheesecake, pickles… Ooooo and some hot chocolate!" Rick and Chida smiled with grin "Of course love"
At the hospital, in the private ward. Three of the girls were sleeping soundly. Sakamoto appeared in front of them and smiled down. "You three… three? Right they moved your sister…" He reached down and reached down through the incubator of the first one and rubbed her cheek. Her eyes opened quickly. She has bright red eyes. "Cute. Did I wake you little one?" He moved his hand chuckling at her widen eyes from the sudden touch. Within a few seconds she fell back asleep. "Just like your mother." He looked around and headed to the room the last quad was.
Reaching the room, he saw the last one. She had a small breathing mask on and her breathing was irregular. Sakamoto frowned feeling a strange power from her. "Looks like you are going to be quite special." He reached down and rubbed her cheek. Her eyes opened making his eyes widen. "Oh man… those are some beautiful eyes… I wonder…" He watched her fall back to sleep. His cool touched was cooling her off. "Hang in there baby girl." He heard the doors open and Julian walked in. He had been monitoring her vitals. Sakamoto smiled as he moved away. "Thank you, Julian." He says disappearing. Julian turned around. "… hmmm…"
In Oichi's room, Sakamoto finally appeared next to Samuel. "Sorry for taking so long. Laughing in Rick's face really cheered me up." Samuel chuckled. Orochi frowned. "You…" Sakamoto frowned back. "Hello Orochi." He walked up to Oichi. "You are doing a shitty job in protecting her." Orochi crossed his arms. "Just hurry up and bring her out this coma." "I will but not for you. For my children. What you can do is watch over my girls. The one who has a fever mainly." "Why…" "Just do it…" Sakamoto says sighing. He reached down and touched Oichi's head. He smiled sweetly at her before disappearing. Orochi sighs and got up. "Following orders?" Samuel says jokingly. Orochi growls. "Shut up…" He leaves the room. Samuel chuckled and looked back at Oichi. "Fight this little princess…" He disappears as well.
In the meeting room, once all the positions were filled the council was made. Terrance looks around the room. "For the councils first decision. I would like to release Mikey Yamamoto for temporary purposes." Their eyes widen. "The same man who kidnapped Lady Oichi when she was a teen!?" "Isn't he dangerous!?" "No, he did help find Oichi when she was taken by Orochi. He didn't request anything for helping. Not even to see her. Mikey has a very good mind and smarts like his father, Dante. The same one who made Rex. If it wasn't for him Xacron may not have been excelling like it is now." Paxton says.
Yain crossed his arm. "He will be kept under supervision by myself but we need Mikey in order to hunt down the Marrow clan." Mason frowned. "I thought we were done with that?" "We aren't, they attacked inside the barrier and that means that they have been hiding in plain sight. Who is to say they won't attack again? Look at how unprepared we were when they attack. We need to locate them now and flush them out of Xacron." "But how?"
Paxton held up his beads. "With Rex. He keeps a tab on every citizen living here. If we dig deep enough then we should find connections however… that pokes a hole in Oichi's ruling. The promise of a new life. She doesn't look into backgrounds of her citizens unless that person provides a threat. If we are going to do this, we all need to be in this. So, what do you say?" The council members looked at each other and nodded. "Agreed." They said. "Safety to the kingdom and its people should come first." Terrance nods in agreement. "Good, moving on next… is working on expanding the barrier to the surrounding cities."
Oichi eyes opened slowly. She was in a soft bed. She blinks and sat up. She looked down and saw that she was in a beautiful kimono with a gorgeous flowing drape. "Wha…" She looked around and stopped to see something standing in front of the window. Her eyes widen and tears up. "S… Saki?" Her heart sped up as he turns around to her. He smiles. "Hey Hun. Sleep well?" Oichi shook as she got off the bed. She ran to him, tackling him into a hug. He embraced her tightly. "Saki!" She cried out. Sakamoto smiles and rest his chin on her head. "I've missed you to hun."
When Oichi calmed down. They sat on the bed. "Where am I? What's going on?" Sakamoto grabbed her hand. "You are stuck between life and death. Kinda like limbo in a way. Your lingering and I'm here to hopefully…" He closed his eyes. "To be selfish. I want you to be with me." Oichi frowned. "You mean… you want me to die?" Sakamoto guided her to the bed and the lay down. "I do… it hurts to see you with another man. To watch my children, grow without me. To watch you put your life in danger over and over like this. I feel helpless and angry. I want my wife here, with me, so that we will be together forever. Just like we promised." Oichi smiled. "Together… forever…" She snuggled up to Sakamoto. "Oh Saki! I would love nothing more than that!" Sakamoto smiled brightly as he hugged her.
Oichi relaxed in his hold as he started to feel warming to her. She felt happy but sad at the same time. Her closed as she started to fall asleep. "Saki…" Sakamoto rubbed her head. "Sleep hun. That's all you have to do."
In the hospital room, Oichi's heart monitor went flat, alarms started to go off as Julian and nurses rushed to the room. Opening the door their eyes widen as they and quickly got to work to resuscitate her. Orochi was rushing back from the nursing word. The look of panic was on his face as he saw Julian trying to jump start Oichi's heart. He was on charge number three before her heart started to beat again. Julian sighs out. His face was slightly pale. "… she's back…" Orochi rushed to the bed pushing a nurse out the way. "You damn vampire!" He yelled angrily. Julian frowned. "Quit yelling and stop pushing my nurses. Oichi is fine now. Her heart dropped for a few moments but now we start entering the crucial moments. Her heart is fragile and her healing factor and powers and not a full strength. Keep an eye on her." Orochi nods. He bit his lip looking at Oichi. 'Dammit… you better not take her away from me…'
some days went by and it was January 5th, Rick and Chida's 36th birthday. They were both sitting in the living room, Aerith and the twins where there. Jess was on bed rest for the time being. Aerith smiled brightly at Rick "Happy birthday dad" she handed him a present box wrapped in black and gold dots paper. Rick chuckld and started to open it to see a tattoo ink set, full set contains the following 60 colors. Rick's eyes widen "Oh hunny!" Aerith giggled "I guess you like it dad" Rick hugged her "Of course I do! I needed some new ink" Aerith smiled. Chida chuckled "Awww" the twins giggled and looked at Chida "Uhm can we still call you mom?" they asked, Chida blinked and smiled "Sure" they smiled at him more and handed him a gift together. Chida smiled and opened to see a Silver pendulum Pendant zirconia dagger necklace with a blue gem in it. Chida smiled "Oh Luna, Miles this is a beautiful gift" they smiled at him "we knew you would love it" they said at the same time. Rick chuckled "awwwww" Aerith giggled "Lets have some cake and go bring mom a piece"
Upstairs, Jess sat in her room with all her food, she hummed eating her pickles "Mhmmmm so yummy" Signing softly she put the jar down, she managed to get up.. groaned "Come on boys do you have to have mommy make it hard to get up…?" she took one step and froze, she turned to the window to see Jin sitting on the window seal "Jin? What you doing here?"
Jin frowned at her "what I'm here? Do you really have to ask witch?" Jess's eyes widen "Jin… what has gotten into you?!" Jin's eyes widen and turned into his wolf form and reached out quickly grabbed face making her gasp out loudly "JIN!" "You took everything from me… my man… and my kids… they wont even talk to me and also I was disowned because of you…." Jess's eyes widen in shock at him that the twins haven't hurt him yet, Jin blank's look turned into a grin "didn't notice I was wearing gloves did you?" Jess bites her lip 'this isn't Jin… Oh Jin what happen… to you…?' then on the corner of her eyes someone stepped in from the window and her eyes widen at horror at this person "Ca…lcifer…?" Calcifer grinned "Hello Witch, Jin… do it" Jess's eyes widen fearful eyes turned to Jin as suddenly her hair was grabbed her hair and put her neck to the side and bite down on her neck making her scream.
Downstairs Aerith was cutting the cake with Jess's screams echoed in the house, Rick and Chida's eyes widen at her scream. Chida was the first to rush upstairs. Rick frowned and look at the kids "Stay here and contact your grandfather" they nodded with a worried look.
With his vampire speed Chida reached their bedroom quickly, Chida's eyes widen at he saw. Jin standing there with Jess on the floor not moving and bleeding from her neck. Jin slowly turned to Chida and smiled with Jess's blood running down his chin "Chida… know we can be together" Chida's eyes widen and they shined and turned into his vampire red eyes has Jin was suddenly his foot connected to Jin's face in a quick and powerful force making Jin fly backwards through the window destroying the wall.
Jin rushed to Jess knelling down "JESS!" Rick had rushed in his eyes widen and rushed over knelling down "JESS! Chida what happened?!" Jin bites his lip "Jin did this to her…. We need to get her out of here and to Julian he's the closes…" Rick nodded "Pick her up" Chida picked her up and rushed out of the room yelling for the kids.
At the hospital, Orochi was holding Oichi's hand. Her heart had been restarted three times since the first time. He frowned. "Not yet. Don't let him take you just yet. If you won't do it for me. Then remember your children."
Chida, Rick and the kids rushed in the ER "HELP!" they both shouted for help. Nurses came rushing over and their eyes widen "She was attached by a werewolf" Chida and Rick says has they all suddenly heard a popping sound and dripping sound. They looked and see her water has broken "Brother… her water.. it broke…" Rick's eyes widen. The kids where looking in shock.
The nurse motion a doctor and more nurses. They scrambled and placed Jess on the bed and rushed her to the back. "Is Doctor Julian in today? Contact him and let him know Lady Jess is here. She's on his patient watch list." A doctor says as he directed traffic. "Get the anti-venom ready in case we need it. Have it on standby let's move people." He says as they rushed off. Rick and Chida and stood there shaking all worried "So where not allowed back there?" then jumped has Zach padded their shoulders "It's gonna be alright, Jess has me and Julian has her delivery doctors" he said putting his badge on his coat "I'll go join them in the back, please sit and wait" Rick and Chida nodded has their father rushed in the back. Aerith, Klaus, Miles and Luna sat down huddled up together worried.
"Dad who attached her…?" Aerith asked Rick, Rick frowned looking at the kids "IT was Jin" Miles and Luna stood up with widen eyes "No! your lying!" they shouted, Chida turned to them "It was him…." Miles and Luna looked down and started to ear from this. Chida held them "shhh it's okay… I know…"
Dawn rushed in with Rose and Roxas in her arms "How's Jess?" Rick and Chida frowned at her "Jin attacked her…" Dawn's eyes widen "What…?!" they frowned and looked away. Rose frowned "was auntie Danni told yet….?" They shook their head. Dawn took out her phone and called Danni.
At the manor, Danni was making lunch for the kids. She watched over the kids every now and then. She would be heading to the hospital soon to get the girls. They were able to come out of the incubator. "Lady… Danni…" Danni jumped slightly and turned to see Mikey. "Mikey? Are you supposed to be here?" "For now, yes. Yain is here checking on Lucien." "I see." There was a awkward silence between them. Danni handed him a sandwich. "Would you like something to snack on as you wait?" Mikey nods and took the sandwich. "Thank you." Danni smiled and felt her phone vibrate. She sighs and grabs it. Her phone was on silent. She saw a missed called and then a text message. She looks at it and frowned. "I have to go." She grabbed her bag and walked by him. She stops and reached up and rubbed his head. "Glad to have you back Mikey. Do right and Oichi will definitely let you out." Mikey eyes widen at this as she left quickly.
Kaci, Ross and Azaya came out of the demon portal with Hannibal in Ross's arms sleeping. Kaci looked at Rick and Chida "How's Jess…?" they frowned at him "we don't know.. she's in the back… Jin attacked her" Kaci's eyes widen "Jin….?" They nodded. Ross sighed. 'Should have just killed him.'
In the back, Zach had stitched up Jess's neck "Luckily there's no venom in her" Julian nodded "Yeah" he looked at her tats and frowned "it seems they don't wanna come out so their sucking her life force, we have to do a C-Section" Zach nodded "alright lets get ready"
In an hour, Jayden, Ayden, Alisha, Naomi, Danni and Zane had showed up and where told what happen, Danni felt like she was gonna punch the wall. Rose was on sitting Zane's lap, Aerith on Jayden's. Naomi was on Klaus's lap and Chida was on Rick's lap they were both staring at the doors waiting.
The door opened and Zach came walking out Rick and Chida got up fast "Dad how is Jess?" Kaci got up "Uncle how is Jess?" Zach smiled "She is alright, we had to give her a C-section, Rick and Chida you can go in back and see your sons, one with the blue cap is Rick's and the one with gray cap is Chida's" they smiled and rushed in the back. Luna and Miles, Aerith and Klaus smiled "can we go see our baby brothers?" Zach chuckled "go ahead" they smiled and rushed back also. Terrance walked in "King Zach, is it true Jin attached Jess?" Zach nodded "Yes… I need a favor… I need Dragon senses, go to Jess's house and sniff around to see where he ran off too"
Terrance frowned. "Unfortunately, I'm due for a meeting over in the next town dealing with some issues with the Marrow clan. Will Terry and Terra be alright for the job? Their scenes are shaper when they work together." Has he said that River and Terry rushed "How's Jess?!" River asked. Zach blinked "Oh she's alright… she had a C-section… there was no venom in her mode" River's eyes widen "V-Venom?!"

Zach's was shaking slightly "Uhm sure go for it River, he attached her at the house here in Xacron, in her room…" River dropped him and walking out of the hospital "Terry! Come on! We have a werewolf to hunt down" Terry grin "God I love her" he turned and followed her. Zach sighs and sat up "Well it seems your daughter in law has taken the assignment in finding Jin"
Terrance nodded. "I must take my leave now." He looked at Danni. "The nurses said it was okay to take the girls home but they should stay near Oichi for a bit before they leave." Danni nodded. "Thank you. I'll start preparing for them. Good luck with that clan." Terrance nods and leaves.
Jess know in the maternity room asleep, Rick was holding his baby sitting on Jess's right, Chida was holding his baby on Jess's left side, both of the boys had slight red hair on their heads. They both smiled down at them, Rick chuckled "I think the prefect name for you, I had it down in my hold notebook Jess kept all these years. I had one boy name circled, Draco, Draco Meyers" Chida chuckled "What an amazing name brother, I think I found a good name for my son, Harley, Harley Meyers" Rick gasped "Your naming him after Harley Quinn?" Chida grinned "Yup" Rick pouted but smiled "I'm naming Draco after Draco Malfoy, Jess loves Harry Potter" Chida raised his eyebrow "Oh I see" they both looked at each other and smiled at each other. Then hearing a groan they looked to see Jess's eyes openly softly. Rick and Chida and smiled at her "Jess how are you feeling?" Jess blinked looking around and smiled to see her sons in their arms "Their here… did have I C-section?" They nodded, Rick smiled "Here would you like to hold Draco first?" Jess's eyes widen "Draco…?" he nodded. Jess smiled "I would love too" Rick gently put Draco in her arms ahs the kids came in, they smiled brightly at the babies "Awwwwww" they said at the same time. Rick and Chida chuckled "So what did you name them?" Aerith asked. Rick chuckled "your mom is holding Draco, Chida is holding his son, Harley" Jess gasped "Harley?!" Chida grinned "Yup" Jess smiled brightly "Aww you named him after Harley Quinn" Chida smiled with a nod "Yup"
Jess chuckled and looked down at Draco "hello little one) Draco yawned and opened his eye's to see her. Jess smiled down at though green eyes "Well looks like Draco has my eyes and even the hair" Rick chuckled "Yeah the red hair wow" Jess smiled down more at Draco, Draco's eyes closed and went back to sleep" Jess chuckled "Alright Harley's turns" Rick smiled and took Draco gently. Chida then gently held put Harley in Jess's arms. Jess smiled holding him "I see the red hair also, Hello Harley" Harley's eyes slowly opened to show the green eyes, Jess grinned "I can see they are gonna be identical" Rick and Chida chuckled "Just like their daddy's" they said at the same time.
Danni was waiting by the ward waiting on the girls. She was texting Frank about what happened. Until Oichi woke up, the girls would be staying with them. The door opened and the nurse walked out in a cart with the girls. They were all sleeping cuddled up together. Danni head to hold in her squeal seeing them. "My Gosh they are adorable!" She took a picture of them and sent them to Frank. The nurse chuckled. "We recommend they be near Lady Oichi for two or three days so they can take in her scent. Then you are few to take them home." Danni smiled and followed the nurse to the private wing.
Orochi was fluffing a pillow when the door open. He turned to see the nurse and Danni walking in. "Did you get permission..." Danni frowned. "I don't need permission to see my own daughter…but yes I did. The girls will be staying in here with you and Oichi. Julian will be coming in here to check on them so don't do anything to upset them. The nurse pushed the cart next to Oichi bed. Orochi got up and looked down at them. "Is it safe for them to be so close like that?" The nurse nodded. "It's normal. They had been separated for a few days. So they were lonely. That's how big a bond they have." Orochi looked at the girls with interest. "… Will… I be able to hold one of them?" Danni blinks. "Yeah… have you held a baby before?" "Typically, children run in the sight of me so no." Danni rubbed her head. "Okay, when I come back for them, I'll teach you how to hold one okay?" Orochi nods. "Alright…your… help have been…" He hums out. "Pleasurable…" Danni let out a giggle. "Your welcome."
At Jess's River and Terry where in her room River was in front of the big hole in the wall, Terry was looking down at the blood pool. He frowned at it. River sniffed "Mhmmm strange, I have his sense but I smell someone else…. I don't know this smell… it's a werewolf smell but I can smell the dark magic… also…" Terry crossed his arms. "Does it matter? You got the scent. Let's follow before it grows cold. In any case Jin's name is blacklisted in Xacron. He shouldn't have even made it a inch inside. So nothing will make me happier at the moment then to catch him…oh! Can we kill him!? I forgot to ask." River looked at him "we can't kill him, we have to capture him and put him on trail it's Jess's law and even Oichi's" Terry pouted at her.
Michael stepped in the room and his eyes widen "What the hell happen?! Where's Jess?!" River frowned and Michael was against the wall with River holding him there "Where the hell where you?! You are her familiar!" Michael frowned "I was at the store… it's food shopping day… what happen to jess?" "Jin was here and attacked her! She went into labor and she had a S-Section" Michael frowned 'jess was attacked… by Jin…' River let him go "Let's go" she jumped out the wall. Terry shook his head and follows after her.
In a couple of days, River and Terry ended up far away from Xacron and the island. They were now in the middle of the desert where the trail ended. River frowned "where in the middle of nowhere…. And nothing… this is where his scent leads us but it's still fresh scent…." Terry crossed his arms. "In a desert… maybe a secret base or something? Underground even?" River nodded and they walked couple more steps when River turned around and dove towards terry moving them out of the way has a chained weapon hit the ground hard with enough force it made the ground crack.
Terry and River slid back as the dust rose from the ground. They heard chuckling. "Been a while. Since we went in a hunt." Terry frowned as he and River saw figures appeared around them. When the dust was settle, they saw themselves surrounded by hunters. River's eyes widen "Hunters….?"
Terry saw a woman walk up with a smile. "The boy. That's Terrance son. That means the woman has a dragon gene to." Terry frowned. "My dad…" The woman chuckled. "I'm Margaret. Me and your daddy have deep history. See this armor? This blade?" She smirked. "Say hello to your auntie. She made my weapon and armor perfectly." "My aunt?" Margaret chuckled. "Aw, he didn't tell you? No matter. It's been while since we were able to hunt some Dragons. Have fun fellow hunters, but don't kill the boy. He is mine." The hunters charged at River and Terry with their specialty made weapons. River's turned in her dragon form quickly and roared sending a shock wave knocking them back.
Margaret chuckled as the shock wave didn't affect her. "Spiffy little thing." The hunters recovered and started their charge again. A man threw down into the ground and waited as the others attacked River and Terry. River had suddenly pulling out katana's fighting them off.
One with a pair of claws made swiped at Terry cutting his cheek. He frowned and grabbed the man's wrist. He looked at the weapon closely. "You made these from wolves' bones…" The man growled until Terry head-butted him, taking the gloves. "Killing our kind to make weapons. Sickening." He grabbed the man and tossed him to the side. He glared at Margaret who was watching the fight with a smirk on her face. More hunters appeared holding chains. "Capture the boy. The girl can die. She will make a fine weapon for our top buyers anyways. Dead or alive." Margaret says as the hunters threw chains at them.
"Terry! Move behind me!" River growled out and jumped up super high. Terry moved. River up in the sky closing her eyes and them opened in quickly and opening her mouth has a dragon fire bean formed in her mouth then shot down at the hunters super-fast for anyone to react.
It came to Margaret. She sighs as she bounced the beam off her sword and into another hunter. "What a troublesome girl… I should have brought Titus with me. Working with new hunters are so tiring." Terry watched as the hunters fell to the ground until he heard something rumbling under him. Chains appeared and wrapped around him. The hunter chuckled. "Capture complete!" Terry sighs as he easily broke the chains. The hunter gasps as Terry pulled the chains hard bring the hunter close to him. Terry grabbed the man by the throat and snapped his neck and dropped him.
River landed on one hunter crushing him "ENOUGH!" she roared punching the ground causing the grounded the crumble under them all.
Margaret jumps back from the ground. "My, you are quite annoying child. No matter. My job is done here. I only agree for a stall." She looked at Terry. "You and your father will join my collection soon. Along with your aunt and the rest of his dragon clan." She laughed as she tossed up a sphere. It glowed brightly and covered her body in light as she disappeared.
Terry frowned as he grew his wings. He flew up into the sky and looked around for her. Her scent was gone. 'Did she kill… all of dad's clan… just who is that woman.' River jumped up and floated next to Terry "Lets head back to Xacron" Terry sighs. "Yeah…no point in staying here."
In Xacron, Demyan, Ronnie and Terrance where visiting Jess. Jess frowned "Dem… I'm sorry… I believe Jin was corrupted by Calcifer…." Demyan's eyes widen, he looked down "he corrupted my son…. To where he attacked you… Jess… I'm sorry… you know him… he would never hurt you…. That wolf and that dark witch… they did this to him…." Jess frowned "Demyan… they took his sadness and caused him to be corrupted… he will be judged by the clans and me" Demyan nodded "I understand…. He's the first in my clan's history to do this…" "Well not really, that rough wolf attached Jess when she was pregnant with Aerith" Chida said walking in with Rick. Demyan frowned and nodded "Jess.. I'm so sorry" Jess sighs softly and looked at Terrance "How did he get into Xacron?" "We don't know yet. Mikey and Yain are looking into it." Terrance says sighing. Terry and River walked in the room, Jess looked at them "Did you find him?" River looked annoyed and pissed "No… the scent led us into a trap…." Jess frowned "Trap?" "Got attacked by hunters." Terry says and held the gloves to Ronnie. He frowned taking them. "These gloves were made from wolves' bones…" Terrance frowned. "I'll have Terra go back and collect the weapons they used." Ronnie nodded.
Jess frowned, River looked at Jess "While I was sniffing around the house I smelled another scent I did not know but I was a werewolf and dark magic" Jess sighs "It's Calcifer… Deacon's father you smelled" River's eyes widen "Calcifer….?" Jess nodded "It seems Calcifer and Phoenix has corrupted Jin…" River frowned and looked away gripping her fist 'how could let yourself be corrupted…?' suddenly the boys woke up by starting to fuss, Rick and Chida both got up and picked them up bouncing them very softly. Jess smiled "Well you can all leave, I need to feed them" River nodded taking Terry's hand "Let's go home and check on the kids…"
On the 14th of January, it was early in the morning. Takara was getting ready for her early graduation. She was wearing an elegant off the shoulder gown. She sighed sadly wishing Oichi would be there. There was a knock on her door. Thalia walked in. "Takara sweetie? Are you ready?" Takara nodded walking to her. Thalia rubbed her cheek. "Once we are done with the ceremony, we can go see your mom. Danni is bringing your sisters as well." Takara nodded. "Okay grandma… I just wish she was awake…do you think she will be up before the wedding?" Thalia smiled "I'm sure she will dear. Now come along. It's a small ceremony but I'm sure. Raphael will give a long speech for no reason." They walked out the room and headed to the school.
At School, Aerith and Jayden where sitting in the lunch room waiting for the first bell to ring. They were sitting there with some morning breakfast from the coffee shop. Azaya and Semyaza walked over with a milk carton, they both sat down "Morning" Azaya says softly still tired, she was up half the night studying for a test. Aerith smiled softly "Morning"
Ebony sat down with a sigh "did anyone study for the test in P. History?" Aerith nodded "Yeah, I did" Azaya nodded "Yup me too" she says taking a sip of her milk and leaning against Semyaza feel tired. "Jay you're going to Kara's ceremony?" Semyaza asked. "I wasn't but I get to miss a whole period for it. So, I decided to get a pass to it." Jayden says.
Jess in her classroom was wearing an elegant A-line lace green dress, she was sitting down I her chair looking at her tablet Rick and Chida where on the screen showing her the twins "they are sleep, so you have nothing to worry babe" Rick says quietly. Chida and nodded "we will watch them, it's alright hun" Jess smiled "Thank you, if you need anything just ask Michael" they nodded "the whole in our bedroom is finally fixed" they said quietly. Jess nodded I'm gonna go, have to go to Takara's graduation" they nodded "Love you" they said, Jess smiled "Love you too" she said and ended call. Jess sighs and putting her tablet down "Oichi please wake up soon…"
In an empty lecture room, Raphael was getting ready for the graduation. Since the number of students were small this year, they were going to use the lecture room instead of the gym. He was wearing a blue suit and his hair was in a high ponytail. He had the stack of diplomas ready to give. The door to the lecture room opened and Thalia, Oberon with Kendrick walked in. Kendrick was eating a cookie in Oberon arms. He saw Raphael and smiled. "HI!" He yelled. Raphael chuckled. "Such a friendly baby. Is Takara ready?" Thalia nodded and sat in the second row.
Alisha and Naomi walked in holding hands. "Hi grandma, Hi grandpa!" Thalia smiled. "Hey sweeties. Do you have your pass?" They nodded sitting behind them. Kaleb walked in with Zane. Zane had a book in his hand studying for a text next class. "You didn't have to come." Kaleb says. Zane pinched his ear. "Ow!" "Takara is still my niece you know. If sis can't be here I'll be here in her stead." Yaris walked in behind them. "True. She's been down lately. She really wanted Oichi to be here. So we all should show our support." He rubs Kaleb's head and went to sit by the twins "Don't forget about me" they turned to see Jess standing there behind with a smile. The twins smiled and got up. They rushed to Jess and hugged her. "Auntie Jess! Are you sure you should be up and walking around?" Naomi asked.
Jess chuckled and hugged them "I'm alright, my neck is still slightly sore. How are you all doing?" "Fine! Ready to see sissy graduate!" Alisha says. Jess smiled "Me also, lets go find our seats"
Ross walked in with a cup of coffee and he had a banner with Takara's name and picture on it. Jayden was being him with Izzy and Joseph. He was frowning. "After this, I'm taking you to the doctor." Izzy pouted. "I said I was fine…" "Sure you are. Mom would have a fit if she found out that you passed out in class." Ross chuckled. "Go get yourself check out. Zane hang this up on the wall. Danni made it since she has the girls at the hospital." Zane nodded and took the Banner. His wings appeared and he floated up to hang the banner.
"Isn't that a little too much?" Izzy asked. "She's my God daughter. I'll make her feel like the most important person in this room. For me and Oichi both!" Ross says laughing as he took a seat with them. Thalia giggled. "Very true. If Oichi was here she'd have this whole room decorated for Takara. She truly spoils her children. It's cute." Hearing a gasp, they turned to see Jess and the kids walk up "Oh Ross that is amazing!" Jess smiled at him. "Yeah I know. I'm the greatest of spoiling you know."
Jess lifted up a gift jewelry box "I need to give this to her before this starts... and talk to her… is she here yet?" "Yes, she came along with us but you will have to ask Raphael about speaking to her. Normally No one is allowed in the back until after the ceremony." Jess smiled "Alright kids go ahead and sit down" she hugged them. she walked over to Raphael "Raphael?" "Yes?" He says fixing his jacket.
"I need to speak with Takara, do you mind if you take me to the back where she is?" Jess asked him. "Mmm… normally I'd say no but I'll make an pass just this once. You can follow me." Jess smiled "Thank you Raphael"
In the back, they saw Takara sitting alone with a sad look on her face. She was bushing her hair slowly, lost in thought. Jess smiled at her and stepped to her "you look beautiful" Takara snapped out of her thought. "Oh. Thank you, auntie." Jess chuckled and sat down next to her "How are you sweetie?" "I'm okay. I guess." Jess handed her a gift here "A graduation present from me"
"You didn't have to get me anything…but thank you." Takara opened and her eyes widen to see an amazing bumblebee locket necklace. Jess smiled "Open it" Takara smiled and opened to see a picture of Sakamoto and Oichi with a baby Takara, then suddenly music started to play form it. Takara blinked at this, Jess smiled "It's also a mini music box" the music that was playing was 'Close to you' Takara smiled and closes it. "Thank for the gift auntie. I love it." Jess smiled and kissed her cheek "Takara, would you like to be Harley's godmother?" Takara blinks. "Sure. If you would like for me to be that." She smiles looking down at the locket. Jess kissed her forehead "I know you want Oichi here but with the locket, she will be close to your heart. Her and Sakamoto both are" Jess got up "see you after alright, Congratulations on graduating sweetie" Takara watched her leave. She sighs. "Daddy…I wish you were here…"
In the room, other families walked in and looked up at the Banner. They chuckled and took a seat. Ross smirked. "See, I told you it wasn't too much." Jayden rolled his eyes. "Or they are just smart enough to stay silent." Jess came back out and took a seat. Once everyone was seated Raphael step to the podium. "Greetings and Thank you for being here today to see our early graduates. These students have made the highest markings this year, complete all of their credits, and have excel in their work and they have chosen to graduate early. So to night tie you up all day we will go ahead and start the ceremony."
Raphael called out 10 students one by one and handed them their diploma. Finally, it was Takara's turn. Raphael smiled. "Takara Ruska." Ross smiles and waves a light pink flag with Takara's name. "Takara! Love you baby girl!" He called out making the others chuckled. Takara's face turned red as she walked out. She stopped and her eyes widen at the large banner on the back wall. Alisha and Naomi giggled. "Sissy! Good job!" They say. Thalia smiled as Kendrick clapped. "YAY!" He screams out. Joseph was video tapping. Jess giggled "Yay! Takara!"
Raphael chuckled as a red face Takara walked up to him. "Such an exciting day. Right." He handed her a diploma and pats her head. Ross waves the flag more. "Wooo!" He cheers out. Yaris chuckled at him. Takara blushed more.
Raphael called the rest of the students back out and everyone stood giving them a round of applause. "Congratulations on these fine students." Raphael says as the students smiled and held up their diplomas. Izzy took pictures. "Great job Kara!" She called out. Jess took pictures "good job Takara! Love you!"
Once the ceremony was over, Jayden and the others group huffed Takara making her giggle. Thalia walked over. "Once school is over stop by the hospital okay so you see your sisters." They nodded at her and headed to class. Joseph took Izzy's hand. "Now let's take you to the hospital before Lucien learns about what happen." Izzy pouted and walked after him. Ross walked up to Takara and snuggled her in his breast. "Ever since I got this body I enjoy snuggling people! I can see why Oichi does it." Takara smiles and hugs him back. "Thank you for coming uncle." Ross rubs her head. "Of course! I wouldn't miss it for the world. Now I gotta get back to work. Take pictures of the quads and send them to me." Takara nodded and watched him leave. Yaris walked up and kissed her cheek. "Ready to go?" Takara smiled and nodded. "Yea, first I need to change and then we have to check on the venue." Yaris nodded. "Then let's get a move on." He kissed her forehead. "I'm sure Danni is ready to snuggle the heck out of you to."
In Phoenix's fortress, she was in Noah's lab has he was testing some of the dark aura from a sample Phoenix collected "So? Anything?" "It seems he doesn't even have a fiscal body… this… being it nothing but matter.. you think if he is a deity of where he is from he would be able to take a human like forum but he can't…" Phoenix blinked "So him coming here with out form is bad then?" Noah nodded "Yeah… his powers will be out of control…. It will combine our worlds together turning it into well you know and it destroy everything and kill everyone…. And spread fast around the world and the world will be destroyed… nothing will survive… eventually the deity's realms will be consumed… unless they unconnected from the earth…" Phoenix hummed "will it this effect Manon's daughter?" Noah nodded "She will get gravel ill and the planet will start to die… when she dies… the planet goes with her… Manon tasked her into keeping the earth healthy , naming her mother earth, Deerward is deity of nature so he helps her growing nature all around the world"
Phoenix hummed "then we need to find a host for him to keep his powers in check" she thought for a moment and then grin and looked at Noah "Do we still have that certain demon's body here?" Noah blinked "Yes… he's in cold storage don't tell me your gonna use him….?" Phoenix chuckled "I can't use Markth, he's one of the most oldest demons but he's imprisoned by Jess, so the 2nd oldest demon would do, luckily demon bodies don't decay when they die just like vampires and angels. He may be dead but his body was perfectly preserve, the curse that he was hit with that killed him made his body preserve, the blood ran through his veins slightly has you did many years ago for Darcaniea when she brought Cien back to life"
Noah nodded "yes but the curse… how are you gonna remove it? Even your daughter couldn't remove it" Phoenix chuckled "I'll do the same what I did with Draven's body, I'll resurrected him" Noah's eyes widen "Lucifer would since him being brought to life and how are you gonna get his soul back? The reaper will not give you another soul…." Phoenix "Who said the reaper has his soul? Have you ever wondered what dark witch he survived? He was very loyal to where he never once told who he survived" Noah's eyes widen "You… Cien's father survived you?"
Phoenix nodded and turned around "get him out of cold storage, thaw him out and we can began" she said walking away. Cien sighed and walked over to the morgue freezers, opening open he pulled it out to where Cien's father was laying on, he was very handsome man with black hair and tattoo of rose's on his left side neck and shoulder "looks like you will be brought back to life also…"
Upstairs in the fortress, Phoenix walked to Darcaniea's room "sweetie you awake?" "Go away…" she heard Darcaniea, Phoenix sighs and opens the door to see Darcaniea in the corner of her room in nothing but her black night gown, her hair was a mess and she had dry eyes. Phoenix walked over and knelled down "Darcaniea… why do you do this too yourself?" Darcaniea looked away "You want let me go have my fun… I wanna play with her… please let me play with her?" Phoenix reached and patted her head "you mean Jess? I heard she's not pregnant anymore, she had the boys so why don't you give her another month and then your fun?"
Darcaniea looked at Phoenix "Really…? What about Ebony? I miss her… maybe Cien was right… I shouldn't do this to her…" Phoenix sighs and sat up "it's up to you sweetie, know get yourself help. Take a shower and put on clean clothes, dinner will be done soon" she said walking out of the room. Darcaniea got up and smiled "Soon I will see you and we get to finally play" she started to laugh manically.
As the day went on, after school, Ross was outside looking at the demon children work on their demon arts. He had Azaya showing new students how to summon familiar. Semyaza was teaching others how to grow wings and fly. Marcellus walked over to him. "Brother." "What's up." Ross asked. "I think there is something one with one of aunties baby…" Ross hums out. "I haven't seen them yet since Danni keeps them. They haven't even been named yet either." "I want you to come with me. I'm worried." Ross raided his eyebrow. "Worried? That's rare. Is Alisha finally getting you to cool down with your bloodthirstiness?" "Shut up. I'm asking because I think… when she got stabbed… one of the babies absorbed something. Something they probably shouldn't have been able to do…" Ross frowned. "You think they got a hold to dads' powers?" Marcellus nodded. Ross rubbed his chin. "That won't do… who knows what could happen. Alright, after this we will head to the hospital and check it out." Marcellus nodded.
At the hospital. Danni was showing Orochi how to change one of the girl's dippers. He was actually quite good at it. "I guess being Octavius, his skills are your skills." "Yes… how do I put this on." He says holding up the onesie. "You put it over her head. Then carefully push her arms through ah! Not so rough! Gently!" Orochi frowned as he clumsily put one of the girl's onesie on. When he finally finished, he sighs and picked her up and cradle her. She smiled before yawning in his hold. Danni chuckled. "Good job. Now for the last one." She walked over to the cart with him and looked down. The first girl was awake. She had red eyes and was wearing a white onesie that said 'Qua.' With red letters. Beside her, was the second Quad. She also had red eyes. She was fighting sleep. She had on a white onesie that said 'dru.' With green letters. The one Orochi was holding had purple eyes like Mikey and Dante. She was wearing a white onesie that said 'pl' with pink letters.
The last one was fast asleep. Danni smiled and picked her up carefully while Orochi placed the third one down. They took her to the changing station and laid her down. Danni held up a white onesie that had 'ets' with purple letters. "Alright now you do this by yourself. If your going to be helping Oichi around you should know how to do this." Orochi nodded and started to change her. As he did she started to get fussy and wake up. "Remember, this is a baby. She's very fragile. Like um… a sake cup… you like sake right?" He nodded. "Good. Like those tiny cups? You treat it gently so you won't break it."
Orochi sighs as he tried to be as gentle as possible. When he was done he sighs out again. "This is quite tiring…" Danni chuckled and looked down. "Look, these are the eyes I were telling you about." Orochi looked down and his eyes widen to see that the quard had irony/golden eyes. "That's… impossible…" Danni looked at him. "Excuse me?" "Those eyes… there…" Suddenly she started crying. They jumped slightly at the sudden fuss. Danni picked her up. "There, there. Don't cry." She bounced her. Orochi frowned and looked at Oichi. 'Could it have been the sword?'
Azaya had Ruby out and Ruby was jumping in each of people's shoulders, the demons where smiling "wow, she's really cool Azaya" Azaya flushed and smiled has Ruby jumped on her shoulder "Thank you, grandpa Lucifer gave her to me. Know her special power is healing, could one of you hurt yourself so she can heal you?" the boys flushed "I'll do it!" No I'll do it!" they started to fight over who will do it for Azaya. Azaya blinked at them "Why are they fighting over this….? Dad! Help!" Ross chuckled. Watching in amusement.
"My what's going on here" they all turned to see Jess walk over who was in a differen't outfit and out of the dress, black long skirt that slit on the sides, black crop bra top and a champagne bottom up shirt that was tucked under her skirt and studded flip flops. Azaya smiled "Auntie!" she rushed over giving jess a hug. Jess chuckled "Hey sweetie, how's your demon art class going?" Azaya smiled "Good, trying to show Ruby's healing powers but the boys are being weird…" Jess blinked "Well I guess I can help, you don't mind Ross?"
"Knock yourself out." Jess took off her bandage on her neck "Try and heal this werewolf bite" Azaya smiled "Ruby heal auntie" Ruby meowed and jumped on Jess's shoulder as Jess's body started gulf in blue flames making the demons gasp "She's on FIRE! Mr. Morning star!" Jess chuckled making them blink at her "It's doesn't hurt, it's not even hot it's luke warm" she said as they see the werewolf bite on her neck started to heal. The demons watched carefully at this. (others)
Ross shook his head and looked up to see Semyaza flying around with some demons. "Semyaza! Rail them in!" Semyaza and the others floated down. Some ended up falling. Semyaza chuckled at them. "Flying will come naturally to you eventually." He helped them up. Ross crossed his arms. "Alright I'm stopping early today." The kids groaned. He chuckled. "Practice what you learned today. In a few days we will try our fire balls again." He placed a hand on Marcellus head. "Marcellus still holds the record for the strongest fire attack so far. So hopefully one of you guys can overthrow him." Marcellus smirked at them. A few kids pouted while others grinned, ready to break Marcellus power score. Ross claps his hands together. "I'll see you all tomorrow. Marcellus let's go to the hospital. If what you say is true then it would be best to contact dad… if he talks to me that is." Jess blinked "You heading to the hospital to see the girls?" "Yeah, to check one of them.
Jess smiled "do you mind if I come? I haven't seen them since they were born" Azaya blinked "Dad can I come?" "No you have homework" Azaya pouted and skipped over to Semyaza jumped on him making him chuckle and caught her "Fly me to my dorm and study?" some of the boys where sighing and somewhere frowning "He's so lucky to have her…" "Sure." Spreading his wings he flew off to the dorm.
Ross opened a portal. "Come along Marcellus." Marcellus nodded and walked through the portal with him. Jess rushed in behind them.
The portal opened to the lobby. They stepped out and walked to the counter. "We are here to see Oichi?" Ross says. The nurse nods and gave them special passes to enter the hall. "Please remember that only 4 people can enter the room with her. Everyone else must stay outside." Ross nodded and took the pass. Jess smiled and took a pass "Thank you"
They headed to the private room where Jayden and the others were. They had just gotten there not too long ago. Danni had the girls out the room and in the cart in front of them. Takara was smiling as she held the first one. "So cute! She's smiling at me." Yaris leans over her shoulder and smiled. Alisha and Naomi were gushing over the third one. "Purple eyes! Like Jay!" Naomi says. "One of them." Alisha says giggling. Jayden and Kaleb were looking at the last two. They were wide awake. "The last one has weird eyes…" Kaleb says. "Yeah… I don't know anyone in the family who has eyes like that." Jess smiled stepping in "Hey there kids"
"Hi auntie Jess." They said all together. Danni laughed a bit. "Adorable." Ross walked over with Marcellus. "Hey, do you mind if we take a closer look at the last one?" Danni nods. "Sure, I think Orochi said something about her eyes." Ross looked down and picked up the last quad. "Still no names?" "I'm afraid not. I have plenty but I don't want to overstep if Oichi already had names for them" "Okay then I'll call this one Quad 4. Simple."
He looked down at her. Her eyes were widen in curiosity. Ross's eyes glowed red as he looked deeper in her eyes. She frowned and started to fuss a little until her eyes started to glow as well. When that happened her tiny body started to pour out a familiar aura. Ross eyes widen. "Dad!?" Marcellus frowned. "I knew it… she has dad's power…" Jess's eyes widen "she does?"
Suddenly she started to cry. Her cries started to shake the room and startled her sisters. Danni held onto the cart so it wouldn't shake. "What's happening? Ross what did you do!?" Ross frowned. "I don't think I did anything!" Her cries got loud and Ross hissed out as his skin started to burn. "Brother!?" Marcellus reached over to take her but he got burned as well. "She's… hot…" He says looking at his burn fingers. Jess frowned "Ross hand her over, maybe I can calm her down"
The door to Oichi's room open and Orochi walked out. He frowned at Ross and took her out his arms. He held her gently and close to him. Her cheek pressed on his chest as she calmed down. Ross frowned and looked at his hands. "She burned me. She definitely has dad's powers…" Orochi sighs. "Of course, she does." They looked at him. "I guess you wouldn't know. The eyes she has are Lucifer's eyes. The ones he had as an angel." Their eyes widen at this. Jess hasped softly in shock "no way…"
"Dad isn't an angel anymore. That gene shouldn't even pass on to anyone." "True but it must have been when Oichi was stabbed by the sword. A great amount of your father's powers was in that sword including mines, that vamp prince, Ronnie's and more… all that power couldn't be contained when adding Oichi's power. It had to go somewhere and it went into her. It must have awakened that lost trait in Lucifer." Ross rubbed his head. "Then we have to tell dad…" He looked at Marcellus who nodded. "I'll be back." He says opening a portal to hell and leaving. Danni sighs. "How are we going to explain this to Oichi?" Jess frowned but closed her eyes "Orochi let me hold her please?" she opened them and stepped over "Please?"
"No." He says frowning. "Holding her closer to him. Danni placed a hand on his shoulder. "Its alright to let her hold her." "No. I don't know what she plans to do but I won't risk anything happening to this baby." Jayden was a bit taken back about Orochi's protectiveness over his sister." Danni smiles. "If she makes a fuss you can take her. Remember what Oichi said about your people skills? Let's start now. Let Jess hold her." Orochi frowned and sighs. "Fine…" He handed her to Jess. She frowned and started to get fussy again squirming in Jess's arms.
Jess blinked "Shhhh, just like Draco he fusses sometimes when I hold him. He just wants his daddy told hold him all day she gently rocked her and started to humming. 'maybe I should say that name Oichi told me, that she liked to name one of the girls' "sweet little Ava" Opening her teary eyes she looked up at Jess. Jess smiled brightly at her "see nothing to be afraid of, little sweet Ava"
Ava calmed down and Jess smiled until she felt her hands getting hot. Orochi quick took Ava from her. Ross looked at Jess's hands. "Even when she calmed down she still burned your hands. Hmm… I guess once she gets use to you it will stop. Danni you can hold her, right?" Danni nods. "I can but Frank and Zane can't." Ross nods. "Figures." "Would Oichi be able to hold her?" "Yeah she's still her daughter and all so it shouldn't affect her at all but this may grow into a real problem. I'll have to talk to dad about it." Jess sighs and using her magic and bit of Manon's power her hands started to heal "I guess we gotta create some special gloves so we can hold her"
Orochi looked down and Ava who was calm now. He placed her back into the cart and headed back inside the room. Danni hums out. "Kinda hard to read him but once you spend a little time with him. He isn't so bad…his skills with people still need work. Okay kids, stay out here and watch your sisters." They nodded at her. "Let's see Oichi." Danni says to Jess and Ross. Jess smiled "I would love that"
Oichi's eyes opened. She was leaning on Sakamoto. They were looking at a sunset. "It's beautiful." She says. Sakamoto nods. "Yes. We were supposed to come to Japan after we renewed our vows. I thought showing this would be enough to keep you here." Oichi frowned. "You don't have much time. Have you made a choice? Will you stay with me or will you go?"
Oichi sits up. "I want to stay. So badly I want to stay with you." She grabbed his hand. "But if I go then who will look after and raised our cute babies." He smiled. "I miss them and our friends and family. If I go now they will all be sad. Xacron to. We built that place for people who had no home to go to. I will feel like I betrayed them if I decided to be selfish. I have to find our son as well. Ayden. He is with that witch and he is feeding off of him. There are… a lot of things I must do before I can cross that line. I'm sorry Saki." Sakamoto kisses her, making her jump a bit. She melted into the kiss. He pulled back. "I'm so proud of you Oichi. I will always be watching over you. I love you." Tears ran down her cheek. "I love you to Saki. I will never ever forget you." She started to fade away. Sakamoto reached out and cup her cheek before she disappeared. Sakamoto bit his lip and put his head down as tears ran down his cheek. "Good bye Oichi…"
In the hospital, Oichi gave out a sigh. Orochi looked at her. "Oichi?" He touched her hand. "Did you finally choose.?" Suddenly the heart monitor went dead. Alarms started to ring. Orochi got up in panic. "No!" Danni rushed in with fear in her heart. "Oichi!? Ross keep the children outside the door!" Ross nodded as he shields Jayden, who was already trying to get in. "MOM!" Jess's eyes widen "Oichi!" fear stuck her 'no… no…!'
Julian and nurse ran in, they rushed past Ross and into the room. Jayden and the others rushed to the windows with tears. They watched as Julian tried to restart her heart over, and over, and over again but there were no sighs of Oichi waking up. Danni shook. "Oichi no!" One of the nurses grabbed her, preventing her from getting close. Orochi gripped his fist. "Keep trying!" He yelled at Julian. Jess's eyes widen with tears "Oichi….. OICHI!"
Julian frowned and kept trying but nothing work. He grits his teeth and then puts his head down. "…she's gone…I'm sorry." Danni busted into tears. Outside the window Ross bit his lip. 'Oichi…' Alisha and Naomi held each other as they cried. "Mama!.." Takara covered her face as Yaris held her. Kaleb placed his forehead on the window. Jayden shook as he punched the wall. Ross grabbed him and held him so he wouldn't destroy the walls. Jess shook and stepped over and reached out taking her hand and falling to her knee's putting her head to Oichi's head "Oichi… come back… please…. Remember sisters forever please don't leave the kids without another parent" She tears.
Orochi held his chest and looked at Oichi. "Move." He says to a teary eye Jess. She looked at him. "Stand aside… I will bring her back. I won't let her die." Jess eyes widen slightly and she moved away from Oichi.
Orochi sat on the bed and lifted Oichi up slightly. His eyes turned bright red and his hair started to float. Jess could feel a strong power coming from him. "As much as it takes. I'll bring you back."
Ross frowned looking through the window. "Well now… this is rare." He turned to see Lucifer walking through the door. "Why didn't you use a portal?" "Never mind that." He walked over to the window and placed a hand on the twins shoulders. They turned around and hugged him crying. "Seems like the beast grew a heart after all."
Inside the room, Orochi leans down and kisses Oichi gently as he did his hair started to glow bright red. They watched as steam rose out his back and took shape of a Phoenix. Danni's eyes widen at this. Jess's eyes widen 'A phoenix…?'
The Phoenix over him spreads its wings and they watched a his left wing started to disappear. As it did they watched Oichi's body start to glow. Rose frowned and looked at Lucifer. "What is he doing to her!?" "Sharing his power. The feather I created him with. He is giving Oichi as much power she needs to revive her." "What happens if he gives her all of it?" "He will be without his reincarnation ability. If he dies. He dies. No coming back." Ross looks back in.
They soon heart the heart monitor. It beeps once. Danni held. Her breath. "Come on Peanut. Come back…" Jess looks at Oichi "Oichi… come back…."
The monitor beeps again and then at a slow rhythm. Jess saw Oichi's hand twitch. The Phoenix over Orochi started to sink back into his body with one wing left. "Looks like he gave her almost half." Lucifer says.
Orochi held the kiss more until he felt Oichi kiss him back. He broke the kiss. "Oichi?" Oichi eyes opened slowly. She breathes in before coughing. "Oichi!" Danni pushes the nurse away and Orochi. She hugged Oichi crying. "My baby! Oichi I'm so happy your alive!" Oichi smiles. "Hi mama…" She says weakly. Jess was smiling with happy tears "Sissy!" she rushed over and joins Danni snuggling Oichi.
Oichi smiles. "Hi sis…" Jayden's eyes widen as he rushed on the room. "Mom!" Kaleb, the twins, and Takara ran in. "Mom!" Danni and Jess moved as Takara reached her first. "Mom! I'm so happy your awake!" She shook and hugged Oichi. "I lost two parents and daddy! I didn't want to lose you to!" She cried. Oichi smiled and rubbed her head. "I'm sorry baby, but don't ever think I'd leave my babies behind." Alisha and Naomi cried at the side of bed. Danni hugged them. Kaleb smiled at the end of the bed. "Mom…you're okay right?" "I'm a little weak and my chest hurt but I'm okay." Jayden looked at Orochi and looked down.
He walked over to him. "Orochi…" Orochi looked at him. "… Thank you for saving my mom…" Orochi blinks at him but nods. "I couldn't let her die…" Oichi smiles at him and then heard crying. Ross pushed in the cart. "Crying…" Her eyes widen. "M-My babies!" She tried to sit up and felt pain in her chest. Takara held her down. "Mom no! Your still hurting. The girls are okay." Jess smiled "They are alright sis"
Oichi watched Ross push the cart up. She smiles with tears. "My girls… the are so cute…" Danni smiled. "Jess named one of them." Oichi looked at her. "You did?" Jess smiled "yes, this one right here" she pointed to Ava "the name you told me, Ava"
Oichi smiled. "Ava… yes I remember that name. Thank you…I want to hold them but I feel so drain. The least I can do is name them." "Ross? Can you hold the first one up?" Ross nodded and held her up. "Her name is Nicole." Ross chuckled. "Nice name." "Her God parents are Paxton and Sonya." Ross put Nicole down and picked the next one up. "Her name is Elaine… her godparents are Terry and River." Ross put Elaine down and picked the next one up. "Her name is Leia. Her Godparents will be you and Kaci's." Ross smiled. "Sweet. And she got purple eyes to." Oichi smiled. "Like papa…" Ross put Leia down and picked up Ava. "and little Ava…Jess will be the Godmother and Rick the Godfather."
Jess smiled brightly "Awww! Thank you Oichi! I know Rick will be happy but can Chida be the 2nd godfather? Just in case she doesn't like Rick" Ross bites his lip holding in his laugh.
"Oh. I forgot. My kids don't really warm up to Rick. Takara didn't like him at all when she was a baby." Takara blinks. "I didn't like uncle Rick?" Oichi chuckle. "As a baby. No, You always frowned at him." She winches. "Mom!?" "I'm okay…" Julian walked up. "I need to get her checked out."
Ross nodded. "Yes but, one last thing. Oichi. It's about Ava." Lucifer walked in. "Oichi." Orochi turned quickly and growled. "Devil." Lucifer glares. "Beast. Fear not, I will not take you with me where your black soul belongs. As promised so long as you behave you can stay. Don't think I won't be watching you." Orochi glared at him.
"Lord Lucifer…" He looked at Oichi. "I'm glad your awake. I came because of your daughter Ava. Apparently, it seems when you were attacked, the sword exploded into your chest. Your power and the power already in the sword could not be contained. Once that power was released inside you, it had to go somewhere and that place was your daughter." Oichi frowned. "What are you saying?" "Ava absorbed my power from the sword…" Oichi's eyes widen. "She what…what does that mean for her?" "I'm not sure. I would like to take a look at her if that is alright." Oichi nodded. "Yes please."
Ross walked over to Lucifer and gave Ava to Lucifer. She quickly frowned and started to cry loud. Lucifer eyes widen as he felt his power being released from her. "Oh. My… she took quite a bit." He felt his hands burning. He chuckled. "Feeling threatened by me. Your tiny body is trying to protect itself by burning me with intense heat." Ava's face started to turn red as she cried more. Oichi frowned. "Lord Lucifer…please give her back to Ross. I don't know what your doing but you are upsetting her to much…" Jess frowned "Lord Lucifer…"
Lucifer didn't listen as he examined her more. Ava squirmed like she was trying to get away. Orochi couldn't take anymore. He walked up to Lucifer and snatched Ava away. "What do you think you are doing!?" Lucifer asked dangerously. "You are scaring her." Ava started to calm down in his arms. "Her wellbeing is my concern. I have to take a look at her even if she fears me." Oichi frowned and sat up with Takara's help. "I agree with Orochi… I don't want to hear her sounding like she's in pain…can we do this at another time. Please." Jess nodded "I agree"
Lucifer frowns and looked at Orochi. He looked down at Ava to see her clam in Orochi's arm. "Sense when are you good with kids…" "I've learned the basics…" Lucifer hums out. "Interesting… I will take my leave for today. Once you're out of the hospital Oichi we will continue this yes?" Oichi nodded. "Thank you…" Lucifer huffs out and opened a portal and left. Ross sighs. "Sorry about him…" Danni shook her head. "Just like him. He never changes…" Orochi looked down at Ava. He wiped a tear away and she smiled up at him. Julian signs. "Everyone out. I need to Check Oichi out. Now." Orochi put Ava back in the crib. Danni led the kids out. Jess was about to leave until Oichi grabbed her hand. "Sis… Saki says thank you."
Jess giggled "I know, he visited me too before he visited you" "I know. He just wanted me to thank you again." Jess smiled as she let her hand go. She heads out the door with the others. Orochi took a seat beside her. "You're not leaving?" She asked. "I've been by your side since you were place in here. I'm not going anywhere." Julian sighs as he hits a button to lift the bed. "It's true. No matter what I say he just won't go away." Oichi giggled. She blushed and reached out for his hand. He grabs it. "You saved my life Orochi. Thank you." He kissed the back of her hand "I'm not letting you go. Ever." Oichi smiled.
At Delica's, Iris was in her booster chair eating some of fruits mixed with fresh raw meat. Delica smiled at her "She's getting so big! She already doesn't need to be breast feed" "Mmhm." Adrian says reading some papers.
The doorbell rang and Delica smiled "That must be them" Adrian sighed and sat there watching Iris who was enjoying eating her food. Delica got up and walked over to the front door, opening it she smiled "Vogrin, Lyle!" Vogrin smiled "Hello Delica thank you for letting us come over" Delica chuckled "it's nothing come on in" Vogrin walked in and Lyle who had a car seat over his arm he walked in with it. They walked in the apartment and Vogrin nodded to his brother "Yo bro, aww little Iris is getting better" Adrian ignored him as went back to reading.
Lyle put the car seat down on the couch and Delica almost skipped overlooking down "Awww she's so cute! When did you have her?" Lyle smiled "two weeks ago, it's early but it happens with the demon gene" She was very cute indeed, she had Lyle's blonde hair, her eyes where closed so Delica couldn't tell what they look like "So what did you name her?" "Oh its Heather" Lyle smiled. Delica giggled "Aww what a cute name" Heather's eyes opened and Delica's eyes widen "She… has white eyes…?" Lyle nodded "Yeah… apparently she has Grandmother Asherah's eyes" Delica smiled brightly "does your grandmother know?" Lyle nodded "Father told her and apparently she all happy"
Delica chuckled and looked at Adrian "Adrian come and look at your niece" Iris in her highchair finishing up her food she looked up at Adrian and smiled reaching up to him. Delica got up and walked over, Iris smiled at her also and reached for her. Delica smiled and picked her up "I'll clean her up, go see your niece" she said walking away with Iris. Adrian didn't move as he kept reading. He took out his pen and started to write notes on the papers.
Dustin was pacing back and forth in the bedroom, Joseph was in the bathroom doing a pregnancy test. The door opened and Dustin stopped and turned sharply with excited look in his eyes "So?" Joseph sighed making Dustin frowned and look down 'I guess he's not….' Joseph grabbed hand "Dustin look" Dustin blinked and looked up has Joseph help up the pregnancy strip that read 'Pregnant' Dustin's eyes widen "Your… pregnant…" Joseph grinned and nodded. Dustin held him "Finally! We have to schedule an ultrasound! I'm so excited!" Joseph chuckled. "Yeah. More babies running around here." Dustin giggled taking out his phone calling the hospital to schedule an appointment for tomorrow.
News passed through the town that Oichi was out of her coma. Being overjoyed at the news a party was held in town celebrating. It went on well the day and into the night.
Around midnight, Takara was walking with Yaris to the family garden where Balaji statue was. Takara was eating some dumplings as they sat in the garden waiting. Alisha and Marcellus walked up with Naomi and Klaus behind them. Alisha was giggling as she held a stuff animal lady bug Marcellus had given her. "Tonight, was fun!" Marcellus nods. "Why are we out here?" "Balaji said that we're were to come here around midnight." Naomi says. "Did he say why?" "Nope. But it must be important."
Jayden and Aerith walked up hand in hand. He was eating a teriyaki stick. He was followed by Kaleb, Dimitri, and Tozrith. They all sat down near the statue.
Alisha smiled. "Yay! Your gonna look so pretty!" Takara chuckled and poked her cheeks. "I know because you, Naomi, and mama made my dress. I can't wait to try it on." Marcellus looked at her. "Speaking of which... You wanted brother to walk you down the aisle. He is a woman. How is that going to work?" Takara smiled. "Man or woman, Uncle Ross is still my uncle. I want him to walk me down the aisle." Marcellus hums out.
As the clock stuck midnight, the wind blew a soft warm breeze. By his statue Balaji appeared and yawned. He walked up to them and snapped his fingers. They gasped as the setting around them changed. Instead of their own garden they were now in a bigger garden with beautiful lush trees and flowers. There was a river Bank and a small temple. "Where are we?" Takara asked. Alisha looks around. "It's so pretty here!" Naomi frowned. "Why are we here?" Aerith leaned into Jayden "mhmm who knows" Klaus nodded snuggling Naomi more "It's a beautiful night"
Jayden looked around and looked at the shrine. He could see a figure standing near it. "Someone is standing over there." They turned to look at the shrine. Naomi looked at Balaji who walked past them. "Come on…" He says. Naomi grabbed Klaus hand and pulled him along. The others followed. They crossed a red orange bridge and came to the shrine. There the kids eyes widen as they saw Sakamoto sitting on the steps. He was wearing a red haori kimono. He smiled at them. "D-Dad!?" Jayden says. Aerith's and Klaus's eyes widen at Sakamoto sitting there. "Uncle…?" Aerith asked.
Sakamoto stood up. "Hey." He held his arms out. Takara bit her lip as tears ran down her cheek. She rushed to him and the girls followed. "Daddy!" They called out. Kaleb eyes widen until Dimitri and Tozrith pushed him forward. Kaleb's feet moved on their own as he ran after his sisters. Jayden followed after.
Sakamoto chuckled as they all tackled him into a hug. "I've been missed a lot it seems." Balaji jumped up on the shine and sat on top of it. Takara sniffs. "Y-You how?" "I've seen who I needed to see. I spent time with your mother and I saw your sister's. Sadly, Ayden is beyond my reach so I can't see him. So, before I left, I wanted to see all of you one last time and I wanted to see how well your lives were doing without me. I see that you all have found someone to cherish and that makes me happy." He lets them go and rubs Takara's cheek. "I just want you to know that I'm proud of you. Your mom and dad are proud of you to. You are growing up to be a beautiful and strong woman I was happy to watch your grow." He looked at Yaris and motion him to come forward.
Yaris walked up to him. "Yaris. I expect for you watch after her. I'm trusting her to you now." Yaris took her hand. "Of course. I love her with all my heart." Sakamoto smiles. He grabs Takara hand and placed something in it. "A wedding gift from me. I wish I was the one to walk you down the aisle but I'm sure Ross will do just as well." Takara opened her hand to see vintage Victorian bubble bee hair pin with an Alexandrite birthstone jewel in the back of it. "Dad…" Takara smiled. "It's for your bee familiar. This is a more powerful version of it. When you're in trouble it will protect you. Not that I'm not trusting Yaris but you never know." Takara hugs Sakamoto. "I love you daddy." "I love you to sweetie. Watch out for your mom and sisters for me okay?" Takara nods and Yaris gently pulled her away.
Alisha and Naomi rushed to him hugging him tightly. He smiled hugging them. "My twins. I see you both are fairing well." "Daddy don't go. Come back." Alisha says. Naomi nodded sniffing. "I can't. I'm sorry." He rubbed their heads. "You two look out for each other okay. Your smile and positive attitude always help those around you. Marcellus walked up and Klaus followed. "To think you both, have a boyfriend. I can't be to mad. You boys better protect my twins." Marcellus nodded. "I will uncle. Alisha is important to me. I won't let anything happen to her." Aerith rushed over and hugged him "uncle Sakamoto I missed you!" Sakamoto runs her head. "As do I Aerith." Aerith smiled at him taking Jayden's hand, Klaus power walked over "Uncle…"
Alisha went to Marcellus and hugged him. Naomi went to Klaus and grabbed his hand sniffing. Kaleb walked past them. "Dad… about Ayden… will he come back?" Sakamoto nods. "He will but I don't think he will be the same as he was before." "Did he really… did he…" "He did stab me in the heart. At the last second, he didn't want to but it happened with some help. I don't blame your brother. He was taken advantage off. He wanted to protect his mother he thought that by killing me and probably Jess… then it would save her." Jayden eyes widen. "He wanted to kill auntie Jess to…" Aerith's and Klaus's eyes widen "That explains his attituded towards her… throwing away her gift… and using 'witch' with such hate…." Aerith says softly/ Klaus bites his lip 'why…? Ayden why….?'
"Your brother is a good soul. His temper needed work but through all he only cared about protecting his family. I still love him as much as I love all of you." Kaleb looked down until Sakamoto placed a hand on his shoulder. "Don't treat him as an outcast okay. Don't let your anger build up because of his actions." "He took you away from us. From mom. It is his fault. How could he have been so damn blind! How was killing you going to protect mom! Look what happen! She still got hurt and we almost lost her to! He's a mindless idiot who can't think for himself!" Kaleb yelled out angrily. His siblings were shocked at his outburst. Kaleb never spoken so much anger before.
Dimitri and Tozrith walked up to him and grabbed his hand. Sakamoto looked at them both. "Another shared relationship huh." He smiled. "Kaleb. I know your angry but please do not fault your brother for all of his actions." He rubbed Kaleb's head. "If you told your mother your true feelings then she would tell you the same thing." Kaleb frowned and sighs out. "You boys watch out for Kaleb. Promise me that you will make him happy and get him to step outside his mind every now and then" Dimitri and Tozrith nodded.
Jayden walked up with Aerith. "Dad…" Sakamoto chuckled. "Well there isn't much to say. You both started dating before I died. I don't think I need any words of encouragement. I'm sure you will take care of Aerith and she will take care of you." Aerith smiled with a blush "I will uncle"
He rubs Jayden's head. "Watch over everyone. And I need a favor." "A favor?" Sakamoto turned them around. "I was supposed to take your mother to Japan after our vows were renewed. This garden and shrine, I think she would have loved it. I want you all to give this to her for her birthday" "How do we do that?" Alisha and Naomi gasps. "Seems like the girls know the answer. I'm counting on you." He stepped back to the shrine. Jayden turned around to him. "Dad!" Sakamoto smiled and reached in his kimono. He flipped out a coin and Jayden caught it. "A reaper coin?" "Don't tell your mom that you have it. Keep it safe and only use it when you really need it. Understand." Jayden nodded. Sakamoto looked around and smiled at his children. "You have all frowned up so well. I'm happy I got to see you. I love all you." They watch his body start to disappear. Takara took a step but Yaris stopped her. Balaji stood up on the shrine and held his hands out. "Times up. Farewell Sakamoto of the Ruska family. You did your family proud." He snaps his fingers and the kids ended back up in the garden. They looked around. "He's… gone…" Takara says. Jayden looks down at the coin and puts it in his pocket. "Lets go…" He says walking away with Aerith. The others followed. All except Takara and Yaris. "Kara?" Takara sighs and looks down at the pin. She puts it in her hair. "Thank you, daddy… I love you." Yaris smiled and took her hand. They headed back to the town square.
The next day, Jess had brought the twins for Oichi to see them. Oichi was holding Draco. Jess smiled "Takara is godmother of Harley and Draco's godmother is you" Draco's eyes opened and looked up at Oichi, he smiled sleepily but went back to sleep making Jess chuckle "They are very quiet and sleepy babies" "Yes, lucky you. I don't have the pleasure of having quiet babies." She handed Draco to back to her. "I'm still a bit weak so I can't hold him for long. My healing factor just started to kick back in but it will still be awhile before I can get out of her."
Jess smiled "Yeah I know, I just wanted you to see them" she says putting Draco down in her car seat "But I have brought you a gift" "A gift?" Oichi asked.
Jess smiled and lifted a see-through cookie bag that blue cookies in them "These are good for healing, my potion class them for you" "Aw. Thanks Jess. I'll be sure to give them a tray after my checkup. Julian keeps strict rules about outside foods. Even for me." Jess chuckled "I figured"
There was a knock on her door. Orochi walked in with a frown. "More guest…" He walked in and sat down beside the bed. Izzy and Kayla walked in. "Hey sis! How are you feeling?" Izzy asked. "Better then yesterday." Oichi says. "Aw, well I was kinda hoping you were down so I could be the one to cheer you up." Oichi chuckled. "Seeing your happy face always cheers me up." Izzy giggled. "I know you need rest but we have news to share!" "News?" Izzy walked up the bed and held her a picture and Kayla handed her one as well. Oichi looked at them and smiled brightly. "Oh wow! Your both pregnant!" She sat up quickly. "Oh my! Kayla your having twins!" Jess gasped softly "Oh my god! More twins!"
Izzy giggled. "I'm 5 weeks and Kayla is 7 weeks. We haven't told Lucien and Silver yet." Kayla frowned and looked down. Oichi smiled. "Congrats sis! I'm so happy for you!" Oichi looked at Kayla. "What's wrong Kayla?" Kayla bit her lip. "Well… it's just that… I don't think Silver will be to happy about me being pregnant." Oichi frowned. "Why not?" "I don't know. It's just a feeling… I don't think he really wants children..." Oichi hums out. "You're going to have to sit down and talk to him Kay. No point of worry specially while you're pregnant now." Kayla sighs and nods. "Sorry for being down. I'm going to go now." She quickly left." Oichi sighs. "I hope she will be okay…" jess nodded "If Silver does leave her and the babies alone I'll beat his ass for you" "Lets not go that far. I'll be having more trouble enough to pray Terry off of him." Oichi says sighing.
Then a soft knock made then look has the door opened and Joseph, Dustin walked in. Dustin blinked "Oh Jess you're here, Oichi sorry to bug… how are you feeling?" "Good enough." Oichi says.
Dustin and joseph took hands "well whenever you're ready to get out of the hospital, we are throwing a little BBQ at our new house, so after your released will you come?" Jess smiled "I'll come; I haven't been at your place yet. You live right across the lake from me so I see you two always outside" "I'll have to decline. I don't know when I'll be released and even after I am released, I still require bed rest. More so. Brother did you know Izzy is pregnant!?" Joseph nodded. "Yeah, yesterday I forced her to go to the doctor after she passed out in class." Oichi frowned looked at Izzy. "Wait!? I was fine. Just a lack of sleep." She says crossing her arms and pouting. Oichi shook her head. "Just be more careful okay?" Jess shook her head "Izzy"
Dustin looked and Joseph who smiled at him, Dustin looked at Jess "can you come with to the vending machine I wanna candy bar" Jess blinked and got up "Sure, Oichi, Izzy can you watching the boys?" "Sure." Izzy says nodding.
Jess smiled and followed Dustin out of the room has Dustin closed the door quietly. Joseph chuckled "Well since you want come to our BBQ, you and Izzy will be the first two know" he held up an ultrasound pic, that showed twins. Oichi smiles. "Aw Joseph. Congratulations." Izzy giggled. "Another set of twins joining the family." "Another?" Joseph asked. Oichi held up Kayla ultrasound. "Kay and Silver are having twins to!" Joseph frowned. "They are?"
Izzy and Oichi glanced at each other then looked back at him. "Not what I was expected…" Izzy says. "Oh. Well it's just… Silver has been distant from Kayla for a while now. You know, they keep up the appearance sake but I don't think he wants to be with her anymore." The girls frowned. "What!? Are you serious?" Joseph nodded. "We went out for drinks a few months back. He was telling me that he didn't want to have children. He's scared that he will turn out like his mother or worse… one of the kids will." Izzy crossed her arms. "Well tough shit! He should have thought about that before not using protection with her! If Terry finds this out, he is going to skin him alive!" Joseph held his hands up. "Slow your roll sis. That was months ago. Maybe things changed. Obviously since Kayla is pregnant." Oichi sighs. "I hope everything will be okay between them."
