Chapter 29

On September 5th on a Saturday two days before the new school year, at the magical council it was Darcaniea's trail. Jess sat in her throne wearing a gorgeous dress. The color was green and gold, it has a back style that is lace up. The fabric on which this material is gotten from is sequins and it's embellished with sequins beading. It also has a unique cap sleeve style and a high neckline. Green heels with a Green Leaf Crystal Gold Tiara. Rick and Chida where at home watching the kids, they will be watching this on a private channel through Rex. Next to Jess was Risa and Aii in their Military uniforms. Cien had not shown up from hell making Jess frown. Michael walked in and stepped over to her "I got word, Cien will be here soon. He stopped at the house and Yuki will be bringing him here" Jess smiled "Alright thanks Michael and please get along with him?" Michael nodded to her "Of course, I will"

Ebony up on the balcony wearing a Yellow Tulle Scoop Neck Long Blue Flower Applique, yellow Suede upper Zipper heel closure Studded flower shapes 4.25 inch heels with sapphire blue diamond gold tiara on her head. She was nerves to see her mother, she had asked Ayden to be here with her. He agreed and will be showing up with Oichi.

Ayden was frowning as he waited outside Oichi's office, leaning on the wall. He didn't want to go to this trial and if it wasn't for Ebony asking then he wouldn't have come at all. He'd be at the water hole with his brothers. Oichi opened the door and walked out with a sigh. She looked tired. "Mom…" She turned to Ayden. "Why are we going again? I mean yes, she's Ebony's mom but…other then try to hurt auntie…why are we going to see this?" Oichi rubs his head. "Personally, Darcaniea hasn't done anything to me and honestly, I don't want to go see whatever has to say however, it would be hypocritical of me to say I created a kingdom where everyone gets a second chance and not try to give her one. Plus, you are right. She hurt your aunt. That should be good as any to make it feel personal don't you think?" Ayden sighs. "I guess…" Oichi chuckled. "Good. Now let's go." She says walking off. Ayden walks off behind her.

Jess sat there with a soft sigh, looking up she smiles to see Cien walk in wearing that familiar military uniform, he indeed look highly handsome. Cien stepped to her and went on his knees "Queen Jess" Jess chuckles "so how are fitting in being my familiar?" Cien blushing but smiles "I wasn't expecting it…." Jess giggles at him "well Cien please stand up and stand near Risa and Aii" Risa and Aii chuckles at him. Cien stood up and looked up and smiled at his daughter who giggled with a small wave. Cien stepped up by Aii and Risa and stood there. Michael looked in and nodded and walked off has Oichi and Ayden walked in. Jess blinked surprised to see Ayden "Ayden, Ebony is up on the balcony" Ayden looked up and his eyes widen at her beauty has she stood up "wow…" Oichi and Jess chuckles at him. Cien slightly frowned but ignore it, Ayden right away went to join Ebony.

Jess smiled tapping the throne next to her, Oichi smiled stepping over sitting next to Jess. Jess smiled "thank you for coming, I know she hasn't done anything to you but…" "It's fine. You asked me to be here so I couldn't say no." Oichi says brushing off her dress. Jess nodded to her, one of her guards nodded to her. Jess took a breath "alright bring her in Michael" Jess says. Everyone see's has Darcaniea wearing a white shirt, light grey leggings and grey flats with cuffs made by Rex. Michael walked behind her and has Darcaniea was close to Jess a forcefield was placed around her. Ebony took Ayden's hand with widen eyes 'mom….' Ayden leans on his arm, holding her hand.

Jess looks at her "Darcaniea" she didn't look up making Jess sigh "Look at me" Darcaniea looked up with a way different look on her face shocked Jess. 'she looks different then before… her aura is way different' Darcaniea smiled softly making Oichi even gasp quietly. Jess gripped her chair "the charges on you still stand you know but…. If a witness did not come forward I would have thought differently, first I did not believe him but know seeing you… I don't' sense an ounce of phoenix's dark magic in you like before… that magic I took from you was not your own it was phoenix's… meaning you're not under her control anymore.. you were created by her and the magic running through veins back then was nothing but her." Darcaniea's eyes widen "Witness…? Who…?" Jess smiled "An old friend of Dracula's that you saved from Baba Yuga and ancient dark old hag… however…He did say she helped you regain your magic back so how?"

Darcaniea breathes softly, she looked to see Cien frowning at her. Darcaniea looked back at Jess "a forgotten dark witches bones…. Morgana Le Fey" Jess's eyes widen at her. Her familiars can sense she was not happy about it "I see… then the old hag tried to eat you, but you eat her first?" Darcaniea nodded. Jess hummed softly "you are no longer a curse from phoenix, that curse was destroyed on turning you human made you your own person… mhmm Oichi what do you think?" "I don't think my opinion matters much. It is clear though, that she isn't the same maniac she once was." Jess nodded and taped her chin "Mhmm… yes she isn't… very well, Darcaniea you are here by pardon by all the crimes listed against you" eyes widen and gasps from witches and council members. Darcaniea looks shocked by this "what…?" Cien looked surprised by this.

Jess stood up "However doesn't mean you will get off Scot free completely, you will be stay at my home here in Ravenswood under my watch. Your magic will be limited, basically you'll be under house arrest and monitored by Rex with a new device" she snapped her fingers had Rex appeared next to Darcaniea putting something on her wrist. Darcaniea blinked looking down at her right wrist to see a metallic nano bracelet made from his newly form sentient nano bots. Darcaniea looked up at her "Why?" Jess stepped down making her familiars and even Oichi tense "Because that was not you, it was all phoenix and look up and what do you see to your left" Darcaniea blinked and looked left up to see Ebony who had her hands by her mouth shocked. Darcaniea started to tear "Ebony…" Jess nodded "Your still her mother Darcaniea" Jess breathes softly "you are no longer Darcaniea Shadowlena, you are know Darcaniea Mikcloud" Oichi sighs and crosses her legs under her dress. "Don't waste a second chance Darcaniea…many aren't lucky to make it that far."

Out in a random forest, Alcaeus laying on the ground out cold. A portal opened and Silver walked out wearing a black hooded overcoat and black jeans. His eyes were dark pink now. He looked down at Alcaeus and snitched his teeth. "Usually, brat…you are not worthy to hold on to the power of madness." An insanely dark smirk came to his face. "She's found a new vessel to walk the earth in now!" He started to laugh as he walked up to Alcaeus. He bends down and places a hand on Alcaeus chest. He could hear her laughing withing Alcaeus. Within him, her chains snapped and broke. "So long little demon! It was fun while it lasted but I no longer need you as well! If you are worthless to the witch, then what good are you to me!" She laughed more. Her laughs echoed in his head as she slipped into Silver merging with the madness, he already had inside of him.

Silver's body started to crack as he stood up. He grits his teeth as Ikari starts to settle inside him. Blood ran down his eyes and nose, but he withheld the pain and power. When she was finally calm his body started to glow a pink light. "Yes! Yes! I will use this body as my own until I find a more capable one!" She yells as Silver's body disappeared. Alcaeus eyes opened and he started to sit up. He felt weaker than he has ever been.

He then gasps to see the pink light. He backed away from it. The pink color started to turn darker until it was a shade of purple. It then scattered everywhere, blinding Alcaeus. Once the light flickers down he opens his eyes and saw a woman with pale skin, long dark purple hair and eyes. There were light pink cracks over parts of her body. The woman looked down at herself and chuckled. "My body isn't completely free, but this will do." He chuckled more and then started to laugh. "This will be enough to send fear into my father! Hear me father! I will destroy you! I will destroy everything you love including that little vessel of yours!" Her power exploded out of her body, pushing Alcaeus away from her. Her mad laugher echo all over the forest.

At the magic council, Oichi was getting up. She rubbed the back of her neck when suddenly a pain so horrible struck through her chest. Her eyes widen and she could feel that Deerward was also affected by this. Her body shook uncontrollably, and her eyes rolled to the back of her head as she collapsed on the ground. Ayden eyes widen seeing this. "MOM!" Jess's eyes widen "EVERYONE OUT!" she shouted. Witches and council members rushed out. Her familiars rushed to Oichi but Michael "Michael take Darcaniea to the house know!" she shouted making Michael nod and drag Darcaniea off. Ebony and Ayden had rushed down.

Jess stepped over to Oichi but a golden light everyone moved away from Oichi as Manon stood by her, knelling down "brother can you hear me?"

Deerward immediately appeared, hovering over Oichi, but he looked very weaken. He was panting and holding his chest. Manon could see a clear wound to his chest. Manon frowned "Brother what's wrong?" Cien held Ayden back, Ebony's eyes widen "auntie…" Jess frowned "Deerward whats happening?"

"…she's…breaking the chains…Ikari…freed…" He looks down at Oichi and frowns. "Can't…focus…must heal…" His eyes close as he disappears. On Oichi's forehead, his diamond seal appeared telling Manon that he had to force himself into a temporarily deep sleep. Manon frowned "Ayden take your mother back Xacron, Queen Jess I'm sorry but I must leave you has my vessel just for now, I need to help my brother" Jess's eyes widen "But wait what does he mean?!" Manon patted her head "Ayden take your mother, now" he said disappearing.

Ayden frowned pushing away from Cien. "Mom!" He drops down beside her. Jess frowned and looked at her familiars "let's all head to Xacron" she said, "Ebony stay at the house" Ebony frowned and was about to say something, but she didn't as Jess's outfit changed into her first military outfit of a in a black shorts bodysuit, a black and gold military open wool jacket, black nylon's under her body suit and over the knee black heeled boots. "Ayden let's take you mother home now" Ayden touched her beads and they flashed red. "Emergency teleportation activated." Rex echo and teleported them to Xacron.

Back at the forest, Ikari chuckled as she hid her power back. She smirked. "Just a few more. Once these chains are broken, I will come for you but until then I should find me another body incase this one wears out HeeHee." She heard movement and saw Alcaeus sit up. "Al…it has been a pleasure to feast on your madness and hate but I don't need you anymore." Alcaeus frowned. "So, you're leaving me to…" Ikari smiles. "Of course. Why would I need a weak demon like you?" She pointed at him, and his body was dragged closer to her. "Your precious witch mommy has left you…" She grabbed his head, and her eyes went pitch black. "You have nowhere else to go. You're a weak and a fool, with no allies, no help. Used by her to get what she wants. You fell right into her lap and now you are nothing but a powerless lap dog!" Her hands sink into Alcaeus. He screams out in pain as her voice echo into his head.

"Weak…fool…a puppet…a toy…a monster…a freak! No one will ever love you! Your nothing! NOTHING!" Tears ran down Alcaeus cheeks. Ikari dropped him and he fell to his knees. He grabbed himself shaking as he started to cry. Ikari shook in pleasure almost. "Oh yes! It feels so good to break someone. Well goodbye forever silly lap dog. Should you ever recover I can't wait to see who's lap down you will become next." She laughed as a portal opened in front of her and she walked into it.

At Phoenix's hideout, Valeriea was sitting up reading when she felt a slight tingle down her back. A smirk came to her lips as she closed her book. "So…it seems you have finally freed yourself. Have fun throwing the world into your madness." A dark purple crystal floated over to her. "With their attention turned away I believe it is time for me to start a little trouble on my own. Oh Reaper…you have no idea the plans I have for you, but I will make every bit of our time together count." Phoenix stepped in with Audrey in her arms. "So what have you done this time dear?" she chuckled. Valeriea smirked pushing the crystal around her fingers. "I Just provided a little favor to a deity. I'm sure she will enjoy herself in all the chaos that will follow her."

In the medical center, Rex had teleported everyone there. Oichi was quickly taken away by Julian and Zach. Jess was in the waiting room with Ayden holding his hand, she had ordered her familiars to gather Oichi's children and bring them here along with Ronnie. "She's gonna be alright Ayden…"

Moments later, Jayden busted through the doors with Kaleb, the twins, and Kalmin, behind him. "Mom!" He called out. Takara walked in wobbling a little with Yaris holding her hand. Jayden stormed up to the doors leading to Oichi when Ayden got up and grabbed his arm. "Jay…" Jayden pushed him away. "What happened!?" He demanded. "I don't know! She just fell and then that weird stuff that Naomi does happened!"

Naomi frowned. "Weird stuff?" Baljai appeared on her head in his puppy form. "You talkin about me brat?" Ayden frowned. "Yes, that weird stuff!" He says pointing at Baljai. Jayden frowned at Baljai. "What's happening to my mom? You know something don't you!?" Jess closes her eyes "Children please, please calm down"

Baljai sighs. "Yeah, I do…Someone nearly on par with that stupid deer, sent out a blast so powerful that it not only affect him but the vessel as well, that would be your mother." Takara frowned squeezing Yaris's hand. "Will she be, okay?" Alisha asked grabbing Kaleb's hand.

"Yes in due time however, if she gets hit with it to many times, she will grow weak to where she would be unable to function well. The shock may even cause her to die." They heard Takara gasp. "D-Die!?" She shook as she held her stomach. She started to feel pains. Yaris frowned. "Takara calm down. It's okay. She's going to be okay." He rubbed her back and lead her to sit down. "You have to keep calm, think about the baby, okay?" Takara tears up. Naomi frowned up at Baljai. "My sister is pregnant! Can you keep news like that to a minimum!" "My apologizes…your mother will be fine." "Who sent the blast?" Jayden says marching up to him. "That is none of your concern." "She is my mother! That makes it my concern! Who attacked her! I'll go kill them myself!" He yelled with his eyes glowing dangerously. Baljai stares at him feeling a slight burst of demon aura come out of him.

"Enough…" They looked up to see Ronnie walking in. "You know very well a pregnant woman can feel negative emotions. Think about your sister. Go cool off." Jayden looking at Takara who was shaking. He bit his lip and stormed out the hall. Kaleb and Ayden ran after him to make sure he didn't lash out at anyone. Ronnie looked at Jess and raised his eyebrow. "Why are you dressed like that…" Jess raised her eyebrow at him "Because I'm Ronnie, just in case.. I have a bad feeling… something is gonna happen… did Regina ever had these type of feelings? And dress up like she was ready to fight?" Ronnie frowned and nodded "She has…" Jess put her hand on her chest "Ronnie something.. is coming… I know it is…"

Ronnie sighs. "That may be…but Regina did have the habit of overreacting as well. Let us wait until we get word on Oichi before you go out swinging at the wrong person." The doors opened and Orochi walked in with a frown. "Where is she?" "Getting checked out." Ronnie says as Orochi walked past him and pushed opened the doors to Oichi. Naomi frowned. "Can he do that?" Ronnie sighs. "Yes he can, Julian allows him to do as he pleases so long as he doesn't interrupt what he is doing."

He goes to sit beside Takara and rubs her belly. "Your mother will be fine. Try not to stress and breath softly. In and Out." Takara does as he says calming herself down.

At Deerward's miniature shrine in Oichi's secret garden, Manon stood there and then knelled "alright brother, I'll do the best I can do" he says closing his eyes has the ground glowed gold. He can feel himself slowly started to the heal Deerward the best he can.

An hour passed, in the medical center. Jayden and the boys were back waiting on news. The doors opened and Julian walked out. Ronnie got up. "Well?" "She will be fine. Whatever pain she experience knocked the wind out of her but it weakened her a bit. She will have to remain on bed rest for a week or two until her strength comes back." Ronnie frowned. "Oichi wont sit still for an hour…how do you expect her to go for a week or more?" Julian shrugs. "Well sir, as her grandfather I hope you can answer me that. I can only tell you what she needs but if she doesn't listen there is nothing I can do." Ronnie rubs the space between his eyes. "This will become a difficult task." "I said I'm fine!" They heard Oichi yell. "And so it begins." Julian says placing a hand on Ronnie's shoulder and walking off. Jess frowns "yup she won't like it… one bit.. alright kids go on and head inside and see her" they nodded and rushed into the room.

Inside the room, Zach had his arms crossed. Orochi was frowning at Oichi. "The vampire said you need rest so you're resting." Oichi frowned back at him. She was pale and looked tired and weak. "I have stuff to do. I can't just lay down!" She snaps at him. "Well to damn bad. Your staying in bed until I say so otherwise." Orochi says surprisingly calm in this situation. They kids frowned looking at her condition.

"Mom…" Jayden called out. Oichi tried to sit up, but Zach pushed her back down gently. Oichi sighs angrily. "I said I'm fine…" Takara walked in tearing, her pregnancy hormones kicking in. "Mama…please listen to Julian and Zach…please…" She held her belly sniffing. The kids gave her a sad look, one that matched Sakamoto's when he gave her the puppy dog treatment. It pulled at her heart and at times she just couldn't say no. "Fine…" She says in defeat. Orochi shook his head. "So stubborn. Boys go get your mother's room fixed." The triplets nodded and ran off. "Girls, tell the chiefs to start working on some meals." The twins also nodded and ran off. "Takara. You go get some rest to." "I want to stay with mom…" Yaris grabbed her hand. "Rest first, then we can stop by her room, okay?" Takara looks at Oichi with tears running down her cheeks. "You promise to rest?" Oichi nods. "Yes sweetie. I promise." Yaris leads her out the room.

Oichi cursed under her breath. "Dammit Saki…why do all of them have to look like you…If you can hear me, I blame you." She closed her eyes passing back out. Orochi sighs. "For peaks sake…" He picks her up. "Silly wife of mine." He walks out the room where Ronnie and Jess were standing. Ronnie frowned looking at Oichi. He rubbed her head. "I'll stop by to make sure she is actually resting. The kingdom can run without her for a week or two. She looks too weak to even put up a fight…Make sure you take the secret way to her room just in case" Orochi nods. "I know." Jess sighs worried "I'll come and check up on her also, please take good care of her Orochi…" "I will…" Orochi says walking off.

Underground in a secret facility, a group of unknown people was standing around a symbol chanting in front of a makeshift statue of the grim reaper. A man walked up and held his hands up. "My brothers and sisters! The time has come!" They quiet down. "We have located the son of the reaper! We will strike soon and once we have him, we will draw the reaper out by force! And once we have his power, we will soon knock the wolf queen off her throne and take over Xacron! Soon! Soon we will have our revenge against her! Down with the wolf queen!" "Down with the wolf queen!" The others chanted.

At the park, Bella was wearing a cute light blue Disney Alice In Wonderland Curiouser & Curiouser Collared Dress she got from hottopic the other day with light blue lace flats. She had over her shoulder Large black Cord Eco Tote Bag, with her sketch book, pencils, color pencils, ipad touch, blue skull candy wireless headphones and some snacks. Humming softly, she walked through the park but stopped hearing soft sleeping noises. She blinked and stepped over to the patch of flowers to see Steven, asleep with a handmade butterfly pillow. Bella's eyes widen and she blushed seeing him 'steven… what is he doing here…?' stepping over to him she quietly sat down next to him looking at him. Her heart thumps has the more she looks at him the more he gets cuter, then and idea came to her head and smiled. Quietly putting her bag down, she took out her sketch book and pencils and started to sketch him.

At Dustin and Joseph's, up in Bella's bedroom. A portal opened and Arnold came out with pink roses "surprise!" then he blinked looking around "Bella?" she was not in the room. He frowned and left her room and went to her art room, opening it she stepped inside "Bella?!" he frowned, she was not here. He was about to leave when he notices something. A flower with a crystal, he frowns walking over to it, the crystal was glowing a bright neon pink.

"What is this? I've never seen this before?" He hums out. "I wonder why this is pink…maybe she started a flower collection or something?" He turns around and saw her unfinished painting and noticed a note. He frowned and grabbed it. Opening it he read it and his eyes widen slightly. He looked at the crystal and then back at the note then back at the crystal. He felt his anger bubble as he bit his lip. He started ripping the note to shreds. By the door, Dustin peeked in hearing something and his eyes widen at Arnold ripping up a letter 'what on earth is he doing!?' marching in upset "Arnold!" he shouted making Arnold jump and turn quickly "What are you doing?! Why are you tearing up Bella's letter…? If you're looking for her she's at the park… sketching butterflies… does she know you're here?" he asked then frowns at the bouquet of pink roses on the ground "What's going on here…?" Arnold frowned at him and without a word threw the torn letters right in Dustin's face. He opened a portal and stormed into it. Dustin's eyes widen and looked down at the letter and frowned "JOE!"

At the park, Bella smiled at the sketch. It was going good, she almost giggled out with excitement she didn't notice Steven waking up or even a pink butter landing on her cheek.

Steven eyes her and then looks at the butterfly on her cheek. His eyes wondered to her hair 'That's pretty cute…' He looked back at Bella smiling and sighed mentally. "You look like you're having fun." He suddenly says. Bella's eyes widen and turned her yeah to him "Oh…. Im sorry did I wake you…?" she quickly closed her book.

Steven stretched. "You know, you should save that beautiful smile for your boyfriend. Your beauty should only be flaunted when he is around." Yawning he sits up and looks at the sky right as more butterflies started to flock him. "Do you like butterflies?" He asked as some started to land on him and in his hair. Bella's eyes widen and she turned red and nodded "Yes…. I love butterflies… do you?"

He flashes a genuine smile at her with a slight blush. "I love butterflies. They are beautiful and carefree. There are so many types, and they are gentle." He holds his finger up and a red one rest on his finger. "I've never told anyone about this. I hope you will keep my secret Bella. I'd be a little embarrassed if anyone else found out." Bella felt her heart thump and she stood up holding her book to her chest "I promise I wont say anything!" Steven chuckles reaching out with other hand and his index finger touched her cheek making her blush more.

Near them Arnold came out of the portal and stops in tracks to see Bella with a blushes face next to Steven, his brother. Steven's hand pulled back and Bella's eyes blinked to see a pink butterfly on his finger "She was resting on your face" Bella's mouth popped open slightly "Oh she was….? She's a rare pastel butterfly, they live longer then normal butterflies do… she is pretty" Steven looks at Bella, she just looks too cute and even kissable. Out of know where Arnold marched up grabbing Bella pulling her away from Steven hard making her gasp and drop her book which dropped hard on the ground. It popped to the sketch of him, and Arnold did not even see it he was too busy glaring at Steven.

The butterflies scattered everywhere making Steven sigh. "Hello to you to brother," Steven says hiding his pillow from his sight. "Stay away from her! She is mine!" Arnold yelled. "Hey, I was just taking a nap here enjoying the peace. Do not get mad at me for that. Plus, she should be allowed to hang around whoever she wants." He yawns. Bella frowned "Arnold stop..!"

Arnold turned to Bella. "Why am I seeing you blush and get cozy with other guys! I thought you loved me! How many other guys hare you cozying up to behind my back!" Bella eyes widen "what?! I haven't been cheating on you!"

Biting his lip, he pushed Bella away from him. "How can I trust a word coming out your mouth! Your just another lair! I don't even know why I consider marrying you in the first place!" He yells at her. Her body trembled, she shook and shock. Tears came down her face, Steven's eyes widen to see her tears. She snatched her hand from Arnold's grip and with a fast move moment her hand connected to his face hard and fast sending an echo of a loud smack through the park, then taking her ring off and dropped it on the ground, gathering her bag she ran off, leaving her book behind.

Arnold frowned holding his jaw. He looked down at the ring sadly. "W-Why did I say that…" Steven got up. "Who knows…maybe that's how you really feel." Arnold glared at him. "This is your fault!" "No, it's yours. Do you want to know why I was here napping at the park?" Arnold kept his glare. "I told our brothers that I didn't want to go after Bella for such a stupid thing and told them to kiss my ass." Arnold eyes widen. "What?" "I thought Bella was happy with you brother and I didn't want to mess with that, but now that I have been hanging around her a little, I have realized that you didn't treat Bella the way she was supposed to be treated…when was the last time you took her on a date? Showered her with gifts? Appreciate her?" "I-I've been busy…"

"No, you were getting lazy. You see big brother…you have a perfect angel in Bella. She is beautiful…creative…smart…and an amazing person." He walked over to him and picked up her sketch book. "When was the last time you told her that?" Arnold looked down. "That is what our brother meant when he said he was worried about you. They believe that you don't shower her with other love and attention. Sure, you can paint her a picture and sure you can tell her that you love her, but do you show her and no I'm not just talking about sex." Arnold bit his lip.

"Bella deserves more than whatever you have been doing and if I didn't respect you at all I would be trying to actually take her from you. Hell, she isn't even my type, but she deserves someone who will treat her with all the love and care in the world no…more than the world…the whole damn universe. That is how you should be seeing Bella. A rare gem that can't compete with anyone. However, now that you have said something so stupid, I will go make sure she is okay. You stay here and think about what you have said and done." He walked off to go find Bella. Arnold sinks to the ground angry. He slams his hand on the ground making a small hole.

At Delica's Café, Delica was washing the bar counter. Adrian was in the back in the kitchen. Iris was in grade school. The door opened and Delica looked up "Welcome" then her eyes widen to see Bella standing there with tears down her eyes. "Bella…?!" Bella looked at her "Grandma…." Delica right away was by her "Sweetie what's wrong?" Bella sniffed "Can I please sit somewhere…?" Delica nodded "Of course, the top floor is closed for the day but you can go ahead and go up there, do you want anything?" Bella sniffed "Adrian's… Sakura tea….?" Delica smiled "Of course, go on dear" Bella nodded and walked off to head up to the top floor. Delica walked back to the bar and started to make her tea.

Steven was following Bella's scent when he stopped at the café. 'Figures she'd come here…' He sighs nervously his own self. Adrian didn't take too kindly to him when he told off all his older siblings. He was the one who backhanded him in the wall when he cussed them out for getting in Bella's and Arnold's way. He rubbed his cheek and took a deep breath. He walked in and looked around for Bella. "Steven?" he looked to see Delica step over with a tray of Sakura tea. He gulped "Uhm where's Bella?" Delica raised her eyebrow at him and then smiled "She's up here" she walked to the stairs that led up to the top area of the café. Steven followed her but not before shivering from a glare he could feel from Adrian.

Reaching the top, Delica right away made a B-line to the balcony. Steven followed her, Delica stepping out in the balcony she went right to Bella who was sitting a small round table and with two chairs "Here you are sweetie and someone is here to see you" she says walking off. Bella looked up and she sees Steven "Steven…. Why did you follow me…?" she frowns sniffing wiping her tears away. Steven sat down in the other chair. "I came to check on you of course and apologize for my brother's words…he shouldn't have spoken to you that way." Bella frowns looking down "I don't know why he did that…"

Steven rubbed his head. "He doesn't understand what a true jewel you are and I wish he could have that before he ran off with his emotions…" He placed the sketch book on the table. "I didn't look but you dropped this." Bella blinked at the book and reached for it. she smiled "Thank you…"

Leaning back in the chair. "Bella…I know you may love my brother but I want to let you know that he isn't right for you and that you deserve the truth on what has been going on…" Bella frowns at him "the truth…?"

"I'm sure you know about the family meeting we all had. What we discussed at that meeting about you and Arnold…they feared that in the long run he would hurt you and that he couldn't truly give you what you should have and with that, they wanted me and two more of my brothers to see if you would even look our way. If you did then that just proved that Arnold wasn't showing the love and affection that you needed and I am sorry for that." Bella looks down "I see…"

Steven closed his eyes. "If you are upset with me I understand and if you never want to see me again after this I understand but I want you to know that after spending a few days with you I knew that Arnold had something special and I didn't want to ruin that so I told my older silbings that I was no longer doing it…of course…Adrian back handed me for being rude but I just didn't want to ruin something so perfect. However…" He frowned. "That is no longer the case." He reached out and grabbed Bella's hand. "Now that I have gotten to know you more, I realized that you do deserve someone better. Someone who won't put art over your attention or doesn't love you enough to stick up to his family." He smiles softly at her. "You need someone who will shower you with praises, love, affection and all the able. When you are told 'I love you' you should be able to know this with every fiber of your being…and…and I think that person should be me." Bella's eyes widen at him and blushed "Y-You…?"

"Bella…I wont push it especially if you still want my brother, but I will tell you now, if you gave me a chance, I will show you in so much affection you would think you would be soring through the sky every day. I would show my love for you no matter the time of day. The gifts you got from me recently will be nothing compared to what I would give you if we were truly together." He squeezed her hand slightly. He gave her that honest smile of her. "I will make you the happiest girl in the world and never make you feel any lesser then you should be. You'd be my queen of my universe and I would treat you as such every step of the way." Her body was trembling. She looked deep in his eyes and there it was a spark, her heart thumped and smiled holding his hand back "Steven.. you asking me to be your girlfriend?"

"Yes, I am." He says a bit nervously. Bella giggled in a cute way that made Steven's heart thumped "Yes, I'll be your girlfriend" Steven smiles at her.

Then out of know where a plate was placed right in between them making them jump. They looked up to see Adrian, Bella blinked and smiled "Grandpa Adrian" Adrian smiled at her "You alright hun?" Bella nodded "I brought you, your favorite pastry" then he looked at Steven and steven froze a hidden glare in his eyes but kept that fake sweet smile. Bella not noticing it smiled at the classic European cookies with a strawberry jam filling "Ooo yummy! Thank you grandpa!" she took one and took a bite humming in delight.

Adrian narrowed his eyes at Steven and turned to walk. Steven sighs. "Brother…" Adrian stops and turns to him. "…I…I asked Bella to be my girlfriend…" If looks could kill, Steven would have been dead at least 20 times over. Adrian walked over and grabbed the collar of Stevens shirt. "Come again little brother…I think something was stuck in my ear…it sounds like you just said you and Bella are now dating?" Steven shook but nods. Bella's eyes widen "Grandpa!"

"You think I would let you date her that easily? After what you said to us?" "I'm sorry brother but it had to be said. Bella is a wonderful, beautiful, smart and creative girl. She deserves more then what Arnold was giving her and I swear that I will make her happier than she ever was." Adrian growled lowly. "You dare talk back to me? What if I tell you that Bella doesn't need anymore scum like you to date?" Steven, surprising even himself growled right back. "Then I would still date her no matter what you said. I really like Bella and if I have to stand up to you and our whole family then so be it." They glared at each other. Bella looked nervous "please… stop….!"

Adrian lets Steven go and then pats his shoulder. "I see…I don't need the details but if Bella wants to give you a chance, then so be it. I know you better than most so I am sure you can make her happy. If you are bold enough to finally stand up to me then you will do well." He turns off and walks away. Steven's knees go weak, and he falls into the chair. "Wooo…that was scary. I really thought I was going to die…" Bella got up and knelled to him "You alright?!"

Steven smiled at her. "Bella even if it's my siblings I would do anything for a chance to be with you. Would you like to go on a date?" Bella flushed and smiled "Yes!" downstairs, Delica giggled and poked Adrian "awwwww looking out for our granddaughter huh? Mhmm I wonder what happen between her and Arnold… I didn't know they broke up…" then she hears the door open and turns to see Arnold "Uhm Adrian…" Adrian turns and narrows at Arnold.

"Go home Arnold. I don't know what happen nor do I care right now. It's obvious that you could not make Bella happy…" Arnold bit his lip. "But I can brother…" "Can you now…what is Bella's favorite butterfly?" Arnold blinks. "Butterfly? I…um…" "When is the last time you took Bella out on a date?" Arnold looked down. "A…few weeks ago I think…" Adrian crossed his arms and sighs. "Bella is no longer your concern brother. Go home." Arnold balls his fist up. "C-Can I at least see her?" "No. Leave. Now." He says darkly. Arnold shook and backed away. "Of course, brother…" He quickly runs off. Adrian sighs and rubs his forehead. "I swear my siblings gives me a headache…" Delica giggled and walked off "Back to work love"

Upstairs Bella was giggling then she heard her iPod touch, blinking she reached in her bag. Steven smiles watching has she took out a pink iPod touch. Bella looked at and sighed "Well I'm being summoned home" "Okay. I'll make plans for our date tomorrow."

Bella got up with her stuff but opened her book carefully ripping out a page, she flushed and smiled "I drew this today…. Uhm I hope you like it" she places it upside down in front of him them quickly gave him a soft kiss on the cheek and walked off. He smiled softly and stretched. "Unexpected turns today but very worth it. Now…to go work on our date plans." He got up and looked down at page she ripped out. He grabbed it and smiled at it. "Caught me snoozing huh…adorable." Opening a portal he walked into it with a warm expression on his face.

At the Clinic, Ziana was sitting down in the waiting room in the woman's department. She hasn't told Mikey she had left but she guessed he knew she went somewhere. She was wearing a black racer tank tip, cheetah print shorts and Black Braided Thong Quarter Strap Sandals. She wanted to confirm for herself then tell Mikey.

"Ziana Panth?" a nurse called out. Ziana blinked and got up walking over to the nurse "right this way" the nurse says and Ziana nodded. Following the nurse in the back. She got weighted in which she had gain some weight slightly. Then on to the exam room, Ziana sat down and nurse did her vitals and was finished "Alright Dr. Meyers will right with you" she said and left. Ziana sighs softly looking down at her stomach nervous, then a knock and door open. Ziana looked up to see Rose, Rose smiled "Hello Ziana" Ziana smiled "Hello Dr. Rose" Rose giggled "well you came here to see if your where pregnant?" Ziana flushed "I think I'm pregnant…" Rose smiled at her "Oh see… it was on notice bored with my father and Julian that you where on heat…. And Mikey took it upon himself to help you" Ziana nodded with a blush.

Rose chuckles "well then, lucky for you I came in prepared!" she took out a home pregnancy test and a pee cup "I know these are outdated because Rex can just scan you but why not just try the old fashioned way?" Ziana blushed and smiled "Go ahead and pee in this cup and we can dip the strip of the test in here, go on then I'll wait for you" Ziana blinked sitting up taking the up and turned to the bathroom and walked over to, walking in she closed the door. Rose chuckles "Luckily I picked a exam that had a private bathroom with it" a few moments went by and Rose heard the door open and Ziana came out with the cup half fill with pee. Rose chuckles has Ziana put the cup down and went to the sink to wash her hands. Rose putting on some gloves opened the pregnancy box taking out a Clearblue Digital Pregnancy Test strip. Ziana came back and sat down has she watched Rose dip in the dip of the test strip and then quickly set it down on the table. "Know we wait for a couple of minutes" Ziana nodded staring at it. Rose smiles at her "So… how was he?" Ziana's eyes widen and looked up at Rose "wait what?" Rose smirked "How good was Mikey?" Ziana's mouth popped open then turned red "like a god…." Rose grinned and laughed "like a god huh?! Yeah same with my Zane!" Ziana poked her fingers together embarrassment. Rose chuckles and looks down and her eyes wide "well look at that" Ziana looked down quickly and her eyes widen in shock. The test read 3+, Rose chuckles "3+, meaning 4 or more weeks! Well then I guess this answers your questions, you better get home to Mikey and tell him the awesome news" Ziana smiled brightly taking the test "Thank you!" she ran out. Rose chuckles "How cute…! Didn't wait for me to finish her visit paper work"

At Seth's new manor, Thalia was giggling as she decorated the living room for Takara's first surprise baby shower tomorrow. She was thrilled when Oichi said she could do it. The living room was decorated in yellow bumble bee things. A banner that said 'Congratulations it's a girl' The tables was set up and the chair she ordered from Chaz was on the way. Nobles were already sending gifts to her. Oberon walks up with Kendrick in tow. "Oooo! For neicey Kara?" Thalia smiles. "Yes. Do you want to help put the balloons up?" "Yes!" He yelled running over to her. Seth walked him holding Grayson. He was growing quite fast. "This looks nice mother. Takara will love it. We threw one for her mother almost like this." Thalia giggles. "Bumblebee's. My mother loved them as well. It must be a cute trait that is being passed down. I can't wait to surprise her." "I feel the same…but do the Nobles have to show up?" "It's an open invitation dear. Takara is still a vampire princess." Thalia says sighing. "I don't trust them since one of them kidnapped her before. What if someone else is plotting against us and the family?" "Then we will deal with it accordingly and without ruining the day for Kara." Thalia says. "Now, I'm off to the kitchen to get the snacks prepared for tomorrow." Kendrick giggled and ran after her.

Bella walked in the front door and closed it and right away had her twin brothers rush to her. Bella giggled "Aww you two are know running around? How cute!" "Bella Quinn Meyers!" Bella's eyes widen, her mother 'Joseph' has never fully used her name unless she was in trouble. "Bella.." she looked up to see Dustin reach down picking up the twins "It's best…. You head into the living room…. Like know.. you father… is not happy" Bella shook biting her lip. She walked past her mother and went right for the living room. Walking in she gulped to see her mother standing there with his 2-month growing bump. He was tapping his foot "come here and sit young lady right know" Bella gulped again and sat down putting her bag on the floor.

She looked at the table and gasps lightly to see the card that Steven had gotten her had been torn to shreds, sitting in a pile. Joseph, firstly, noticed that her ring was no longer on her finger. "Where is your ring…" He asked with a frown. Bella frowns "me and Arnold had a fight and I broke up with him…" Dustin at the doorway holding the boys gasps with widen eyes. Bella sniffed "I've been getting gifts and letters from his brother steven… and.. Arnold must have found out because he found me at the park… with him… I mean I didn't even meet him there I went there to sketch then I came across him sleeping in a bed of flowers with butterflies around him…!" her heart was thumping "Arnold showed up… pulled me away from roughly and started screaming at the both of us then accused of me cheating and said he something hurtful to me which made me tear, smack him and gave him the ring back and ran off…"

Joseph shot a quick glare at Dustin who jumped slightly. Joseph sighs and sit down. "How long have you been getting letters and gift from Steven?" Bella looked down. "For a while now…" "He's the one who wrote this letter? And that plant?" Bella nods. Joseph rubs his head. "Oh Bella…if a girl was sending Arnold gifts and letter behind your back wouldn't you get upset?" Bella frowned rubbing her hands together. "For you to keep these gifts…you must like this boy Steven?" Bella blushed "at first not… but then started to fall for him…."

Joseph pressed his hands together. "This is why I was worried at your birthday when you suddenly came back engaged to Arnold. I knew that boy could not give you what you need. He is very nice and all but one day I knew he would break your heart but, I allowed you to have that freedom to choose who you love and who you want to be with. I never want you to rush into another relationship without realizing if that person is truly who you want to be with." Bella sniffed "I'm sorry mom… but I have feelings for Steven and… we seeing each other know.. and we have a date tomorrow…" Dustin's eyes widen "dating already with Steven?"

"You broke up with Arnold today…and now your dating Steven!?" Joseph scratches his head in slightly frustration. "Bella…I…I just do know if these demon boys are good for you. I get that Adrian is your grandfather but his younger brothers are unpredictable. I'm not comfortable with you breaking off one relationship and walking right into the next. Other then sending you gifts why have you decided to even consider jumping back into dating this boy!?" Bella frowned "mom! Steven is different!" "You don't know that, Bella. For all we know he might take you for granted as well." Joseph says frowning back at her.

Dustin's sighs softly "Bella head up to your room, put your stuff away and come back down here. I'm taking you to Brits and Triff Salon and spa, you need a good relaxing spa day." Bella's eyes widen but smiles, reaching out gathered up the pieces of the letter then her bag and rushed off. Dustin stepped over and sat the twins down who snuggled up to Joseph "Joe… I know you don't like this… maybe if we meet the boy tomorrow, we can see if she is right on if he different then Arnold…" Joseph sighs out holding the twins. "Fine…" Dustin chuckles at him "so motherly its cute"

At Mikey's, Mikey frowned looking around his room. Ziana was gone, he sighed and sat down at his table 'where is she…?' then hearing door slam open he turned to see Ziana panting with a flush face and wide smile on her face. He stood up as she ran to him snuggling into him "Mikey!" He hugged her back. "Where have you been…you should have left a note if your going somewhere."

Ziana giggled and stepped back "I went to the clinic and!" she reached behind her and held up the positive pregnancy test "I'm pregnant!" "Yes, I knew that already." Mikey says taking the test from her. Her eyes widen. "You did!?"

"Yes, your scent changed a few weeks ago. I just didn't want to ruin the surprise and let you find out for yourself." He chuckles at her, Ziana pouted at him "Shesh…! You still ruined the surprise!" "I don't see how." Mikey says shrugging. Ziana snuggled into him more "well then shell we have an ultrasound?" she asked him.

"Sure. Rex I need a ultrasound scanning." Rex appeared. "Understood." Rex scanned her and, on the screen, showed twin fetus "congratulations, you are pregnant with twins and is 4 weeks pregnant" Ziana's eyes widen "Twins…." "Sounds about right." Mikey says.

At Tiff's and Brits Salon, Bella was relaxing in chair getting a pedicure and manicure done. Dustin was in the waiting room watching 'she needs this, it's been a while since she had a nice spa day' "Uhm Dustin?" he looked up at Tiff, he smiled "Oh hello Tiff" she smiled at him "What scent does she like?" Dustin smiled and looked at Bella "Rose Water, she needs this so much. She's like me and Kaci, a hard-core painter and has such rough dry skin from painting too much and her hair…. She needs a nice wash and rinse. Girls make her hair shine like freshly fallen snow" "Just leave it to us. We can make a tough rock shine like a rare gem."

At Jess's house in Ravenswood, Darcaniea was in her assigned room. For some reason it still felt like she was in prison even though she was pardon. There was a knock on the door making Darcaniea look has Jess walked in "mhmm so how are you doing sis?" Darcaniea's eyes widen "Did you just call me… sis?" Jess nodded walking over, Michael at the doorway watched carefully "we are sisters Darcaniea, we are identical in DNA but the magic part… your magic is not Mikcloud its from another.. form Morgana Le Fey… I can help you with that Darcaniea make the Mikcloud ancestress accept you into the Mikcloud family" Darcaniea looked chocked by this "Why… do this…?" Jess smiled at her "Because I've already said it wasn't truly you who did all thoughs horrible things, it was Phoenix" Darcaniea looked down "I see…"

Jess smiles at her "Well lunch is ready if you want some" Darcaniea looked up at her "I'm allowed to roam..?" Jess nodded "Only into certain areas Darcaniea, come on lets gets some food in you" she extended her hand. Darcaniea blinked but reached out taking Jess's hand. Michael smiled softly at them "Shesh you are so king hearted its cute" Jess blushed "Oh shut up!" Michael chuckled at her, Darcaniea smiled softly with a small chuckle.

At Paxton's and Sonya's, Semyaza was walking down from his room. He heard Sonya in the kitchen. Paxton was at work; Sky and the twins had been kidnaped by Aliyah earlier. Walking closer to the kitchen he could smell muffins being made. "Semyaza what are you doing out of your room?" Semyaza jumped slightly and then sighs. He walks into the kitchen. "Mom…can we talk?" "I don't know. Can we? The last time we talk you told me I didn't need to worry about you anymore." Semyaza rubbed his arm. "I…I'm sorry for how I spoke to you. I shouldn't have said that." Sonya turned around and looked at him. "Why did you say it?" "…I was…angry…" "At me?" "N-No! No never!" "Then why were you angry?" Semyaza turned his head.

Sonya sighs and goes back to cooking. "Fine, if you don't want to talk then go back to your room." "Mom…" Sonya slams her hands on the counter cracking the top. "I don't ask for much Semyaza!" She shouts. He frowned. She turns around with a hurt expression. "I don't ask you to do anything around the house other than your chores. I do not keep you away from Azaya. I don't even care if you go roaming all over the island! I do however have asked you, told you, begged you, that if anything was on your mind then talk to me or your father! Not yell at me and tell me, your mother, not to worry about you!"

She tears. "You stopped talking to us, you leave at random times, I rarely saw you eat! You think I wouldn't worry!? Why is my sweet boy acting like a stranger…" Semyaza bit his lip. "I…I was scared okay…" "Scared? Of what?" Semyaza shook. "Every time…something happened to Azaya. I have been powerless to help her. She's been taken, and controlled, and attacked and I haven't been able to save her at all and even when the situation is over, she still ends up more powerful than before." He grips his fist. "I just feel so weak and so powerless. How can I protect her if all I do is get hurt and get in the way…what kind of man can I be for her if I can't even grow on my own…So I tried to train myself? I practiced and trained on my own so hard I passed out at times. I skipped meals and ate what I could in the forest so I wouldn't have to stop training."

Tears hit the floor beside his feet. "I have to be strong…I need to get stronger but nothing I did worked. Azaya will see me as a weakling, and she'll find someone else on her level. I…I don't know what to do mom…" He says crying now. Sonya sighs in relief and walks over to him. She hugs him tightly. "Oh, my silly son. Azaya isn't going to leave you because of that. Strength is much more than just power. Don't let that side consume you like that. You are so much stronger than you realize honey."

The next day on Sunday, Bella was in her room sitting on a chair has Dustin was doing her hair. Bella smiled "Thank you dad" Dustin chuckled "Anything for my baby girl" Bella blushed, Joe peeking in seeing his daughters excited smile. The sound of the door bell made them all stop, Dustin blinked "Oh looks like he's here slightly early" Bella nodded and sees Joseph "mom… please don't be mean to him?" Joseph sighs and walks off to answer the door. Dustin breathes softly "don't' worry hunny, you mother wont do anything mean…." 'I hope… maybe ot Arnold though…' Dustin then notices her wrist "Bella your wrist…." Bella blinked and frowned hiding it "it's nothing dad" Dustin bites his lip 'that boy will get a punch in the face if he shows up here today'

Joseph opened the door and saw Steven wearing a light blue shirt and black skinny jeans with converse on. He had a box in his hand and a bag. "Hello. I'm here to pick up Bella?" Joseph narrowed his eyes until something caught his nose. He looked at the box. Steven chuckled and opened it to see raspberry swirl cheesecake brownies. "I brought these as a gift. I know I might have rubbed you the wrong way with how everything, so I baked these for you." Joseph eyes widen a bit. "You can bake?" Steven shrugs. "Um well not all the way. I take Ms. Sonya's baking lessons. Would you like to try one?"

Joseph took one and bit into it. He breaths softly. "They are good." Steven handed him the box. "I will make sure Bella has a good time today." Joseph sighs feeling a calming aura around Steven. It sorts, of put him at ease. "Alright…she's upstairs. She should be down soon." He let Steven in, and they headed to the living room to wait for Bella.

Dustin stepped downstairs to see Steven, he smiled "Hello Steven" Steve stood up and bowed "Hello Princess Dustin" Dustin laughed "Oh please just Dustin, well here she is" he stepped aside. Steven's eyes widen to see Bella walk in, wearing a stunning Tranquil Blue watercolor floral maxi slip dress with a Tie the sash on the waist showing her gorgeous curves and white braided sandals. He can see her finger nails where black with a shiny blue butterfly design on them. Her tows nails where just a plain shine black color. Her hair stood out to him more, it was braided down her back in a cute hair braided style. Her make up was done perfectly with soft tones of blue and black eyeliner and mascara. She had soft tone of lip balm on her lips. She smiles shyly "Hey Steven" He smiled back. "Bella, you look very beautiful."

Dustin chuckled and saw Joseph stuffing his face with the brownies. "Where did you get those?" "Steven brought them over." Steven smiled and held up a bag to Bella. "I got you a gift to." Bella took the bag and digs in it. She gasps as she pulled out a beautiful, handcrafted butterfly sculpture. "I would have made them with your favorite butterflies, but I don't know those yet. I hope after our date, we can learn more about them. Until then I hope you at least like this gift I made you." Bella blushed and smiled brightly "I love it!" she looked at her father who smiled "I'll put it in your room hun" Bella smiled at him and gently gave it to him "Well why don't you two go ahead and go on your date" Bella giggled and looked at Steven who hovered his hand "Shell we?"

Bella nodded taking his hand and looked back at Joseph and frowned "Mama… don't eat them all…" Dustin chuckled at her. "There will be none left by the time you get back," Joseph says waving them away. Steven laughs a bit and walks Bella to the door. "Don't worry I'll make you some later if you want."

At Seth's manor, Oichi and her kids were sitting inside the living room waiting for Takara to come. Ross, who came himself, walked over with gifts. "Today you are taking a handicap." Oichi sighs she was wearing a yellow chiffon dress with a slit up to her hip. She had a 'Grandma to bee button on her it. "Yeah, yeah…your lucky I'm to tired to care…just know that it's my grandchild so I'll be spoiling the heck out of her." Ross chuckled and went to put the gifts down. The boys were leaning on the wall seeing nobles there and a few of Takara's friends. "Why did the nobles come…it's not they really care…" Ayden says frowning. Kaleb, holding Andrew sighs. "Grandma said to be nice…" "They are still breathing…that's as nice as I'll be…" Jayden says.

The door opens and Jess walks in wearing a cute yellow two piece outfit with lace top and satin bottom and Ivory Macrame Sandals "Sorry it took me awhile to get here!" Oichi chuckles "It's alright, here" She hands Jess a pin 'auntie to be' Jess smiled brightly and pines it on her top. The triplets look at her making her look at them "What?" "You look weird with yellow on…." Jayden says. Jess huffs and grabs his cheek "What did you say to me!" "N-Nothing! Sheesh! You look…nice…"

Takara and Yaris were walking through the halls. Takara had a blindfold on. She was wearing a yellow maternity dress. Her 7-month belly poked out of it. "Yairs where are we going?" She asked holding his hand. "You will see in a moment." He pushed the doors to the living room open and Takara could smell a lot of food. "Are we in the kitchen?" She asked. Yairs chuckled. "No." She pouted. "Then why do I smell food!" She heard light chuckling.

Yaris took off the blind fold and suddenly pops of confetti and balloons ran down. Takara gasps as she saw her family, a few friends, and some nobles, jump out. "Surprise!" They yelled. Takara eyes widen and looks at the banner. "A-A baby shower!?" The twins skipped to her. They were wearing auntie to bee buttons. "Yes! Congratulation's sis!" They hugged her gently. She tears up a bit. "Oh…W-Wow!"

Oichi walked up and hugged her. "Mom! You are supposed to be resting!" Takara says. "I will be in a moment. I'll be taking it easy on the couch while you enjoy yourself." Kalmin walked over holding 'mommy to bee' slash and put it over her. Takara giggled a bit looking at it. "Its so cute. It has a honeybee on it with honeycombs!" Jayden and the boys were handing Yaris a daddy to be pin. "Surprised you boys are here." Yairs says pinning the button on his shirt. Jayden pouted. "Why would we miss our sisters baby shower. Just because a bunch of snobby nobles showed up doesn't mean we aren't coming." Some of the nobles frowned at them as Ayden and Kaleb nods in agreement. "Mama!" Andrew called out reaching his arms for her. "She can't hold you right now." Yaris says taking himself. Andrew pouted.

Thalia walked over with a bright smile on her face. She was wearing a one shoulder simple yellow dress. "Grandma!" "I hope you like it dear." Takara smiles and hugs her. "I do! Thank you so much!" Thalia takes her hand and leads he to the middle of the living room. The nobles bow to her, and her friends waved. Ava and the girls were running around with Kendrick. Thalia walked her over to where Orochi was sitting on the sofa with the twins. "I had your uncle Chaz made this just for you. The sofa Orochi was sitting on and the chair beside him was decorated with black and yellow colors making it out to be a Queen bee style chair. Thalia sat her down. She sighs at how soft and comfy it was. "Now let's get some food in you now." Jess giggled "yes let's! Oh, Takara my little bumblebee, I have something for you!" "You do?" She asked.

Snapping her fingers has a yellow gift bag appeared next to her "I managed to finish it" Takara blinked and reached in and took out a beautiful lace veil, but she gasped to see Bumblebee embroidered on the veil. Oichi gasped at this. Takara smiled. "It's beautiful auntie. Thank you!" Jess giggled "You are welcome!"

"Hold up! I know we aren't opening gifts!" Ross stormed over. "I got Oichi out of this and now I go against you to." He pouted making Takara giggle. "I will love anything you get me uncle me and my little Umiko." Oichi eyes lit up. "Aw! You named her!" Takara smiles. "It means child of the sea." "Aww! That's so cute!" Jess giggled "Aww such a cute name!"

They then heard a gasps, turning they saw Poseidon and Triton were walking in with gifts. Triton blushed slightly seeing Takara. Yaris frowned slightly at this. Poseidon smiled brightly as he took out a camera and snapped a picture of Takara. "You look so adorable! My adorable bubble bee daughter." Takara smiled. "Thank you. Um I named the baby." "Oh? And what did you name my sweet granddaughter?" "Umiko…child of the sea." Poseidon froze for a second. Takara frowned. "Do…Do you not like it?" Oichi frowned at him. "Lord Poseidon? Are you okay?" "He looks broken…" Ross says crossing his arms. Jess blinked "Lord Poseidon?"

Tears leaked from Poseidon eyes. "What a beautiful name!" He cries out. Yaris chuckled while Takara sighs out in relief. Poseidon rubs his teary eyes. "I can't wait to take pictures of my cute grandchild. I must let my brothers know how cute a name you have picked!" Triton sighs. "Haven't you bother them enough?" "What? Nonsense! They should be happy and honored that I visit them with wonderful pictures of my daughter in law and newly name granddaughter Umiko now." Takara could not help but laugh at this. Oichi shakes her head with a smile. Jess giggles "Cute!"

Steven and Bella were riding on the train express train. Bella was pouting slightly since Steven wouldn't tell her where they were going but she soon let it go as she enjoyed the wonderful landscape of Xacron. "You know…before Lady Oichi took over, this place was nothing more than a wasteland." Bella nods. "Yeah…we learned about the wars that happened. It's so sad…" Steven nods. "Luckily, with the help of Lady Oichi the land was able to grow again, and we get to witness its beauty." Bella smiles taking the view end.

The train comes to a stop and ding. Steven took Bella's hand and they walked off the train and followed the crowd onto a small walkway. "Steven where are we going?" "You will see." He says chuckling. Following the group, Bella's eyes soon widen as they walked up to see a large building with 180 meters of pathway winding through a glass atrium. "Steven is this…!?"

Steven grins at her. "Welcome to the butterfly conservatory. Where it's said to host and research over 45 different species of butterflies." Bella gasped "No way… haven't even been here yet…. Oh Steven…" she smiled brightly. Steven chuckled and they walked inside.

There was different area for the butterflies and the main area was in the center where a large tree was planted and butterflies flew freely all around. Bella and Steven walked right in the middle of them walking to the tree. A bunch of them started to fly around Steven, landing on his head and shoulders. He smiled holding out a finger. A few landed on it. "Strangling butterflies have always been attracted to me…it's why I like them so much." Bella giggled and moved down has butterflies moved around her. Lifting her arm one landed on her finger, then one on her head, shoulder and back. Steven turned to her and sees this, Bella with such a soft cute smile.

He chuckled and gently shakes the butterflies from him. "Why don't we go explore some of the species of butterflies? Maybe we will find some rare ones. They are always collecting and breeding them." He holds out his hand to help her up." Bella stood up and smiled brightly "that sounds fun! I wonder if they have one of my favorites" she took his hand. "What would that be?" He asked leading her down a hall. Bella winked at him "You will have to find out" "I see. This should be interesting." Steven says laughing with a smile.

Walking around, Bella was so giddy it made him smile at her. He got to see her cuteness to the full. Bella with a book they got at the front a pen in her hand. She was marking on the types of butterflies she was seeing. Skipping away from Seven, she skipped to some lavender she smiled brightly "Wow! A Lavender Butterfly!"

Steven turned to another and spotted a small trunk of a tree he smiled looking at all of the blue morpho butterflies that was piled into one on the truck. He walks up to them. "Hello again. I see there are more of you." One of them fluttered away and landed on his nose. He chuckled and moved it his fingers. "Don't be hasty." He puts it back with the others. Bella next to him blinked and smiled "wow blue morpho's! they sure are pretty" Bella giggled watching them and marking it in her book. "Yeah, but so far you are the prettiest thing in here right now" Bella's eyes widen with a blush and shyly hides her face behind the book.

Walking around some more, Steven stopped and smiled. He grabbed Bella's hand and lead her to a pair of stairs that lead to the top. Not many people were up here. "What's this place?" Bella asked. "This is where most of the rare butterflies are." Steven said a little bit more excited. The butterflies were all in separate windows. Walking to the first one, Bella saw that there was nothing in there. "Um…this one is empty?" Steven chuckled and bent down. She does the same. He points to the left in the far corner. "Focus your vision on that leaf." Bella looked more and her eyes widen to see a very tiny butterfly. "That is the western pygmy blue butterfly. One of the most world smallest butterfly. It's one of my many favorites. It's so tiny and cute." Bella giggled "So tiny!" with her hybrid eyes she see closer and smiled "So pretty!"

After a while marking most of the book, Bella heavily sighed. Steven blinked at her "What's wrong?" Bella pouted "they don't have my favorite Butterfly here…" "Well, we still have more to look at. You may find it sooner or later." He says smiling.

Reaching the gift shop, Steven open the door for her. She giggled and stepped inside and smiled brightly "Wow look at all this Butterfly stuff!" she giggled out and skipped off. Steven chuckled at her, he walked around and stopped at the jewelry area. The girl behind the counter smiled at him "What can I get for you?" Steven hummed looking down in the glass and he smiled to see something that he knows she will like. Not far from him, Bella was looking at the butterfly tubs where you can buy your own butterfly, grow it and release it. Bella blinked looking at them, then her eyes landed on one. Her eyes widen reached up and smiled brightly "Oh my goodness…. They do have you…" she giggled. Walking away with it to the counter where the girl behind the counter giggled at Steven handing him a gift bag "Here you are" Steven nodded to her taking it. He turned to Bella and smiled "So what did you find" She giggled lifting up the jar "they do have it! my favorite butterfly!" Steven blinked and saw a shiny silver metallic like cocoon and then saw the name of it on the Jar 'amber phantom butterfly- Cocoon Phase 2' He smiled. "I read about those. See I told you that you would find it sooner or later." Bella giggled and stepped over to the counter, putting the Jar down. The girl blushed at Steven then looked at Bella and sighed and ringed up the jar for her "That will be 5 dollars" Bella smiled handing it to her. The girl took and then gave Bella the receipt "Here you are, So Steven you doing anything after later?" Bella frowned at her but looked away. Steven took Bella's hand. "I am in fact; I'm spending the day with my beautiful girlfriend." Bella blushed at him and smiled, the girl frowned at her 'what her?! The Albino chick?'

"I have a place I want to take you. Come on." He says smiling at Bella. Bella blinked "another place?" Walking out the building and walked to the train but he stopped. Instead, he opened a portal. "We aren't taking the train?" "No, where I am taking you now can't be reached by a train." Holding her hand, they stepped into the portal.

When they stepped back out Bella let out a loud gasp. Her eyes went wide making Steven laugh at her cuteness. He had taken them to an exceptionally large wildflower field that stretched almost to the mountain area. What shocked her even more was that there were millions of butterflies flying around giving it such a majestic aura. Steven smiles. "I find this a few weeks ago. I called it the buttery fly field."

Bella blinked looking around, she was shocked to see so many butterflies "wow…" stepping away from him, he noticed her jar and book was gone "where's your jar and book?" Bella smiled "teleported them back home…." She says walking a little more and lifted her arm has some butterflies moved on her arm making her smile.

She then began to twirl softly has butterflies floated around her making Steven's eyes widen at this. Bella looked so majestic in his eyes. He smiles at her taking a seat on the ground and watched her enjoy herself. Bella finishing twirling she turned to him and smiled. Stepping over to him, she sat down next to him "This is amazing" she gently leaned on him with a flush face.

He smiles softly. "I'm glad you enjoyed it." Looking up at him, she smiled leaning up her lips touched his cheek giving a soft kiss on the cheek. He blinks and then smiles with a slight tint on pink on his cheeks. He held up a bag. "A gift for you. For a perfect girl on this perfect date." Bella blinked and gently taking it, she opened it and reached in taking out a Tie-Dye Butterfly Heart Charm Bracelet. Bella gasped "Steven…this is so cute…!" Steven chuckles at her and gently takes it and puts it on her right wrist only for him to frown to see a bruise. He rubs it. "I'm sorry you got hurt because of him." Bella blinked "I'll be fine…"

After he puts the bracelet on, he opens a small portal and reaches his hand in and pulled out a drawing. "You know I was the one who taught Arnold how to paint and after that he took my spot as the royal painter… it was heartbreaking… and after that I stop painting. I never thought I would do it again until I meet you." He showed her the drawing. It was a gorgeous painting of Bella with the universe painted behind her. "To me…this picture shows that there is nothing more beautiful in the universe then you. A rare and precious gem, that I am now lucky to have by my side." Bella's face was priceless "Steven… this is.. oh my god…" she gasps softly.

He gave her a warm smile. "I can't wait to spend every waken moment with you." looking into his eyes her heart was thumping, all she wanted to do was kiss him deeply. Licking her lips, she smiled taking the painting "Steven…. Thank you…" tears rain down her face. He reached up and rub the tears from her eye. "The only tears I ever want to make you shed are ones that are out of happiness. My dearest sweet Bella." Bella couldn't help it anymore, her body move on her own and leaned forward. Her lips touched his. She felt him push back into the kiss.

Pulling back, she gave him a sparkling smile then her stomach growled making her flushed and covered her face. He laughed. "Adorable. Why don't we go grab something to eat?" She nodded softly "sounds good, I'm kind of hungry…." They both got up. He opened a portal. Hand in hand they walked through heading back to the city.

At Takara's baby shower, Jess got up and cheered "Woo! I won!" Poseidon gasped and pouted "No fair!" Jess giggled taking the gift bag and opened and smiled "Oooo! Ocean scented candle and body wash Oooo! I'm so using this tonight, I'm gonna smell like the ocean"

Takara was sitting in her chair eating a treat called caramel cheesecake stinger, that Thalia had made. She played one came and had won a Bee candle and bath set. Oichi was resting on the couch next to Orochi holding Emma. Jasper was fast asleep on Orochi's lap. She chuckled at Jess and the others as they played games. Soon Takara started to open her gifts. Yairs helped her. She got a lot of baby items, mainly from Ross. They were all bumble bee theme. She was thrilled.

The twins walked up to her a little shy shockingly. "Um sis…w-we have been working on something by ourselves and we wanted you to be the first to have it." Oichi looked at them with interest. "While we love working with mama in fashion, but we found something else that we could with Grandma Lily!" Alisha held out a cute bee shaped glass with wings on it. Takara's eyes widen. "What is that?" Alisha smiled. "Perfume that I made!" Takara took it. "You made this!?" She opened it up and sprays a little on herself. It smelled like sweet honey. "It smells so good! Thank you!"

Naomi looked down. "I don't think mines will be all good…" "Did you make perfume to?" Takara asked. Naomi shook her head and held out two candles. "I made candles…cinnamon and honey beeswax." She opened the lip and Takara could smell it from where she was. "Oh my gosh! These are amazing! Thank you! I love you both!" They smiled at her happily. In a group of nobles, one of them was staring at the twins. Their eyes narrowed as they walked to the snack table.

Oichi smiled. "Aw, is this what you two hid from me?" The twins blushed. "We thought you would be upset if we left the fashion stuff for a bit." "Of course not! You two are free to do whatever you please with your wonderful talents." Takara giggled holding her gifts from her sisters. "I hope you make more for me Umiko?" The twins nodded. "Yes! We will!" They said together. Jess chuckles lifting up her candle sniffing it with a smile 'mhmm smells good'

Steven and Bella walked into Aliyah's restaurant. Bella smiled "smells so good in here" Steven chuckles at her and they walked over to the host's podium they see Aliyah there on the phone making reservations. She was rubbing her 6-month belly. She turned and spotted Bella and Steven. Closing her phone, she raised her eyebrow at Steven. "Does your brother know about this?" "He does." Steven says. "It's an open house today. If you want to be served by Azaya make sure you sit on the left side. If you want to get served by Ebony sit on the right. Come on in." They nodded and walked in. The place was lively and not to busy.

On every other Saturday, Aliyah does an open house event where people can walk in at any time and just take a seat. Steven and Bella went to sit on the left side of Azaya's side. "Will you be okay sitting here?" Bella asked. "Yeah. You worried about how I feel about Azaya?" Bella looked a little nervous and he chuckled. "Don't worry. It is literary the first rule of hell, to not show her any disrespect. Plus, I would never be rude to your family." Bella flushed "I'm sorry… she's been through so much growing up… she's family and I love her you know, we grew up together" "I know. I was a few of the rare ones who didn't want to get caught in all the drama. She really isn't a bad person if people got to know her, I'm sure."

Bella smiled at him as Azaya appeared at their table with a raised eyebrow "Well then Bella what's going on here?" Bella jumped and looked up at her, she gulped "well… I'm on a date?" Azaya narrowed then looked at Steven "what of Arnold?" Bella frowned rubbing her wrist. "It's a long story." Steven says.

Azaya sighs softly and smiled "I'm sorry Bella, I know you will tell me when you're ready. Now then here is your menus!" she handed them out "What can I get for to drink?" Bella blinked and at the menu and smiled "the mix Berry smoothie" Azaya giggled "alright and for you Lord Steven?" "You don't have to use a title around me princess…Can I get the Bahama Mango juice." Azaya giggles softly "Of course! I'll be back with your drinks" she walked off. Bella smiled "I hope you get to like her, she is very sweet and nice, So uhm… what's your favorite color?"

"Hmm…Green. Yellow…and recently Red and white…" He smiles almost dreamingly at her. "Your hair and eyes are so captivating. I really like looking into them." Bella's eyes widen hide herself behind the menu making him smirk at her "My favorite colors are pastels…. Uhm I love Lolita cosplaying… I like goth pastel's also… uhm of course I love to paint, draw and any kind of art" she chuckles "Butterflies are my other passion besides art… after high school I wanna go to college for of course art and to study Lepidopterology and become a lepidopterist…" she blushes has Azaya returns putting their drinks down "Here you are a mix berry Smoothie and a Bahama Mango juice" Bella put her menu down and took a sip of her drink "Mhmmmm"

Steven sips on his with a soft sigh. Azaya smiles. "So have you decided on your meal?" Bella blinked and nodded "Uhm I'll have the…." she looked again "Hibachi Steak & Lobster Tail with fried rice on the side, and the streak medium rare." Azaya smiles writing it down "and for you Steven?" "Can I get the black pepper chicken with fried rice; can I have extra black pepper and maybe two extra bottles of hot sauce please?" Azaya nods writing it down "Alright, anything else?" Bella shook her head and steven also shook his head. Azaya nodded with a smile "Alright I will return with you meal shortly" she said walking off. Bella smiles taking a sip of her drink "So uhm… what do you plan on doing after school?"

"Well while I do like butterflies a lot of other insects do gather my attention. I may go to be an entomologist. The study to insects and their relationship to people, the environment, and the other organisms. For instance…the butterfly field I showed you. So many butterflies live and breed there what's going to stop someone else from finding that place and destroying to habit of them?" He sighs. Bella frowned slightly "Yeah…"

"I was thinking of making an appeal to Lady Oichi to see if she could make that spot a national land or something so that people will never be able to harm it but…I haven't made much progress in that." Bella's eyes widen and take his hands making him blink at her, she smiled brightly at him "I'll help you! You can count me in on making it happen" Steven smiled and squeezed her hand. "Oh Bella. You're the sweetest but I don't want to burden you. I know that your Lady Oichi's niece, but I heard she wasn't feeling so well lately…the last thing I'd want to do is bother her with something that she may seem so…small…"

Bella smiles softly more "Steven, I'm your girlfriend I would love nothing more than to help you. It would be my honor in helping my handsome boyfriend" she giggled at him. He blushed at her before smiling. "You are amazing Bella." Bella giggled at him.

At the waitress station, Ebony and Azaya walked from affair at them "I wondered what happen to her and Arnold…?" Ebony asked. Azaya frowned "I saw a bruise on her wrist" Ebony's eyes widen "you don't think Arnold hurt her…?" Azaya growled "If he did, he will be dead" "Girls" they turned to see Markth "back to work alright?" they nodded to him and went to go their assigned sides. Markth sighs softly, he looked at Bella's table and frowns. Aliyah next to him "what you thinking?" Markth breathes softly "wondering what happen, over heard the girls saying Bella had a bruise on her wrist…" "If Bella isn't saying anything about it then there is nothing, we can do about it. Leave it be. She looks happy with that boy. But if it bothers you that much ask Charlotte." She shook. "Gah! I'm getting sick of running to the bathroom." She rushes away to the bathroom.

An hour went by, Bella and Steven had finished their dinner. Bella tabbed her mouth with her napkin "Mhmm that was delicious" "Yeah. Though I should have asked for a little more hot sauce." Steven says chuckling.

Bella took a sip of her drink, Azaya came back over collecting their plates then walking off. "So uhm… where next?" she smiled at him. "There is a couple pottery class going on if you wanted to do that." Steven says with a chuckle.

Azaya came back with their bill "Here you are, when you're ready to pay please head up to the front" she says bowing and walks off. Bella smiled taking out 20-dollar bill putting it on the table for Azaya. Steven matches her leaving a total of 40 in tips for her. They both got up and walked to the front holding hands. "I thought it would be nice if we can create something together?" Bella giggled "I like pottery, I would love that" reaching the front, Aliyah smiled at them has Steven paid for their meal "thank you and come again, we do offer school lunch box remade for students" Bella giggled "cool I'll be sure to order some" They walked out of the restaurant and headed to Chaz's workshop together.

At Seth's manor, the baby shower was slowly coming to and end. The twins were by the snack table with Marcellus. They were chatting away when a noble vampire got closer to them. 'Vermin scum…how dare you get our clan cursed. I'll make sure to…' Suddenly Oberon appeared in front of him with a fake smile on his face. "Count Norm! Hello." The noble backs up. "L-Lord Oberon…Hello." "Would you like to take a walk with me? I have much to discuss with you and your…family…" "I um…I really should be going…" He tries to back away before he bumps into someone else. He turned to see Seth. "I would advise you go with him before a scene breaks out." The noble, Norm bit his lip and followed Oberon to the door. Thalia frowned. 'Even here…they are very persistent…' She looked at the twins. 'Why are they targeting them so relentlessly.'

Outside the door, Oberon and Norm walked farther and father from the door until in a blur, they were in a different room. Norm was slammed up against the wall. Oberon eyes glared deadly. "Vermont scum dare to come into my home and plot to steal my grandchildren!? Right in front of me no less!?" Norm struggled until Oberon sinks is claws into his neck. Making him scream out in pain. "You will tell me everything on what they are planning. All the spies, all the tricks, all the allies." Norm glared at him. "I…I will never tell you anything!" Oberon smirked darkly. "I was hoping you would say that. You Vermont's were always so fun to play with."

Bella and Steven stepped into Chaz's pottery class, the class hasn't start yet. She smiled smell fresh clay and paint "mhmm reminds me of pottery class at school" Bella smiles at Chaz "Hey Chaz!" "Bella! Hello dear niece. I saw your name on the list, so I got everything set up early." Chaz says smiling as he put his hair in a ponytail.

Bella smiles putting a long pottery apron on "I'm so excited!" she giggled out, she was excited and giddy. Steven chuckled putting on his apron. He looked at Chaz and Chaz looked at him. "You got something to say?" "Oh…no…it's just everyone kept asking Bella what was going on…so…" Chaz laughed. "When I see my niece walking in with a bight smile on her face and looking so excited, I don't really care for the details. As long as she is happy, I am happy." He pats Steven on the back. "So don't worry about anything from me. Just have fun making pottery." Steven smiled and nods.

Class soon started and the couples were sitting at their stations. Most of the women there, though, were staring at Chaz's body as he explains what pottery was and what was going to happen in class, and how everything worked. The men frowned with jealously in their eyes, but Chaz ignored them all. He smiled brightly at everyone, making the woman sigh in a loving daze. Steven chuckled. "Your uncle is just like the rumor says. Woman falls all over him and he either pretends to know or just don't care." Bella giggled "He's an awesome uncle, he sometimes teaches at the high school which makes some of high school girls go all goo goo eye at him"

"Alright everyone. You have you clay, work together with your partner to create something beautiful that signifies your love for one another. Have fun, enjoy yourself and if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask." One woman raised her hand. "Yes?" "Can you take your shirt off?" She says giggling, making her date frown. Chaz chuckled. "Sorry ladies this is a class. Not chips and dales. Please focus on your partner." Steven looked at the clay and smiled at Bella. "What should we make together?" Bella blushed "uhm about… a bowl to start with?" Steven smiles as they started to make a bowl together.

Steven couldn't stop smiling. He didn't know why but just feeling Bella's touch in the clay just made sparks in his body. His heart was thumping. More then anything he really wanted to hold her, but he would wait before he made anymore. He didn't want to make her uncomfortable. Chaz was watching them and snapped a picture. Chuckling he started to work on his own clay project.

At Ravenswood, Darcaniea sat outside on the terrace, very chilly summer day. She was wearing a long black sweater dress and black suede heeled boots with a cup of hot coco. She was hoping to see Cien and talk to him, but Michael told her that Cien didn't wanna see her. With a soft sigh, she sat there feeling sadden. "Darcaniea" she looked over to Michael "yes…?" "Someone is here to see you" he said stepping away has Velkan stepped in. Darcaniea's eyes widen "Velkan!" she stood up has he walked over to her holding her "Darcaniea… I'm glad nothing happens to you and you where save…" Darcaniea smiled holding him back "Velkan…." "Darcaniea… I want you to be mine…" he whispered to her making her eyes widen and blush, she stepped away "to be yours?" Velkan nodded "I want you has my mate" Darcaniea flushed then feels eyes on, she glanced around to see at a window Cien who looked pissed and walked away. Darcaniea frowns, Velkan frown "Darcaniea….?" Darcaniea looked at him "it seems Cien doesn't want anything to do with me… Velkan.. yes I would love to be your mate" Velkan grinned and held her romantically "Darcaniea…!"

In Oichi's secret garden, Manon had still been trying to heal Deerward when his statue started to glow. Rising he stepped back as Deerward appeared in his adult form. His eyes were closed for a moment. When they opened the ground shook slightly. He slides down his statue holding his head. Manon was quickly by his side. "Brother!"

"Ikari…she's finally found a way to get a body…she's snapping my chains bit by bit and every time she does both me and Oichi will be affected by it…" He stands up, shrinking down to his child's form. He held his arms up asking for Manon to pick him up. "I must return to Oichi and try to keep her mind and body from getting infected by Ikari…It will become most troublesome if that happens." Manon picked him up and hugs him "you're so cute in this form brother" Deerward pouted slightly resting his chin on his shoulder.

"In my arms, I will heal you, we can go to Oichi and Jess together and let them know about Ikari" "Very well…thank you…" He says closing his eyes to rest.

Back at the workshop, almost an hour past. Bella and Steven were finishing up their bowl. Since they were one of the many few that was not paying attention to Chaz, they were able to finish first. Steven smiled looking at it. "What color should we paint it, or would you like to put our names on it? It is our first bowl together." Steven asked Bella. Bella giggled "You do know it has to go into the kiln first, but can we paint it pastel blue?" "Sorry, I couldn't help but to get a little over excited while I'm with you." He says chuckling.

Bella smiled walking him get up and walk over to Kiln. Bella looked at the left-over clay. She smiled and started to shape a piece. "What are you making now?" Steven asked. Bella blushed "Butterfly…"

At the baby shower, the girls all laughed and chatted with each other. The party was over, nobles had left and Jess and Oichi sitting next to each other with teacups in their hands. "So Auntie, where is Deacon?" Takara asked her "Aerith said he left…?" eyes turned to her, Jess nodded sipping her tea "he wanted to leave and search for his clan that disappeared after what happen so many years ago…" "So long as he isn't here." Orochi mumbled burping Emma. Oichi kept her comments to herself. She couldn't say she enjoyed hearing the news about Jess bring him back to life, but Klaus was happy and that's all she really cared about.

Jess sighs then blinked hearing manon's voice 'Jess come outside in the garden with Oichi' Jess sighs putting down her tea cup "Oichi.. come with me to the garden" "As much as I would love to Jess I am kind of tired. I'm going to retire to my home…" Oichi says with a sigh.

"Manon is asking us to meet him there so please come with me?" Jess smiled at her. Oichi rubs her head. "Which garden? The…secret one?" Jess raised her eyebrow and pouted at Oichi. "You have another secret garden? Just how many do you have?" "A lot." Oichi says chuckling. "Rex…" "Understood." Rex says. He quickly transported them to the secret garden that was located behind her house.

Oichi became a bit dizzy and near fell before Jess grabbed her. "Sorry…" Manon soon appeared with Deerward in his arms. Deerward opened his eyes and sat up, he slipped out of Manon's arms and floated over to Oichi. She caught him, hugging him. She felt his warmth and energy coming back. "Oichi…forgive me. It's seems I have placed you in great danger…" Oichi frowned. Jess frowns "Grave danger…?"

"We were attacked by Ikari…my daughter. She has found a way to release herself and she will not stop until the world is tossed into madness and chaos and your body." He looked at Jess. "You should keep an eye out of any increases of small disturbance. To gain more power Ikari will force people to fight against each other while feasting on their madness and anger…the stronger she gets the higher chance she will attack Oichi and myself." Jess's eyes widen at this.

Oichi looked down sadly. "Why does she want me though? I haven't done anything to her…does fate hate me that much…" Deerward fell silent on that. "The fates have given you a very unlucky number and I fear it will get harder on you from here on out…your connection to me is why she wants you. She wants revenge on me for sealing her away when she went out of control centuries ago. She nearly plunged the world into chaos with her madness and instead of letting Manon to deal with it I wanted to seal her away. She is my daughter after all. She is my responsibly…" Manon sighs softly "You should have let me help you… with my help her seal would have been harder to break.. with out divine powers combine is more powerful and even dangerous, you know that brother… we, together created this universe. We both created out first daughter only for her to get eaten by that evil being" Jess's eyes widen "wait your first daughter?!" Manon laughed "Not like that Jess, get your yaoi mind out of the gutter know. God you are just cute!" Jess flushed at him. "Marslenda, was our first deity we created together… she was the goddess of Mars. Has you know now, we first started human life on Mars before Earth has Earth had Dinosaurs already on it" Jess gasps softly and pouted "I want to see a real dinosaur…." Manon chuckles at her.

Deerward sighs. "Boring creatures…even so…What happened to Marslenda was a tragedy we both shared…Ikari is my daughter. The burden to put her in her place is something I made on my own. How Ironic that as a deity of nature, peace and tranquility…I bore a child who is filled with hatred and madness…" Oichi rubs his back. She loved when Deerward was in this form. He seemed more comfortable like this.

Jess breathes softly "So what will happen know? How can we help to reseal her? Or… can you kill another deity…?" Manon frowned "It's not in our nature to kill what we created… Ikari is still my niece and Deerward's daughter… I don't think he would have don't something like that"

"There are two ways…the first is to either weaken her and re seal her. I've created a pocket dimension prison just for her. The second…well…is to find a being that is strong enough to hold her…though it would be nearly impossible to find someone who is immune to her madness…what's more…" His head pops up cutely and looked at Oichi. "Oichi. You must stay strong. The moment Ikari senses a weakness in you she will attack us once more. It will weaken you and allow her to control you. We must not let that happen." Oichi frowned but nods. Jess frowns, Manon patted her head "I'll be here giving Deerward divine energy, Oichi you are his vessel please don't let anything get to you… you must stay strong" Oichi sighs. "I will…do my best."

She turned to Jess. "If the council scenes any disturbing situations, can you notify me at once? We should at least try not to have Ikari have her way by causing small rebellions here and there. We can send small forces to stop the fighting. It should prevent her from feeding off them." Jess nods "Of course, the globe has an upgrade, Manon upgraded it to where he can sense divine energy?" Manon nodded "Yes" Oichi sighs. "Then all we can do is prepare and be ready should anything does happen." "I ask that this conversation stays I'm house for now. Only our closest and trusted followers and retainers. I'd rather this information doesn't get out to anyone outside the family circle. They may try to cause chaos here in the city. It's a risk I do not want to happen." Jess nods "Of course"

Bella and Steven stepped out of Chaz's classroom, Bella was holding some of the butterflies she made. The bowl however was still drying and Chaz would send it to Steven once its done. Giggling she lifted a blue one up with a bright smile, Steven flushed at her. The sunset and slight wind that made her braided hair move slightly the sunset soft red and orange tones of light shined on Bella at perfect angle making her glow slightly.

"You really are beautiful you know." He says chuckling. Bella turned to him and flushed, with a smile she stepped him and lifted up the blue butterfly "For you" Steven smiled and took it. "Thank you for this wonderful gift. I will cherish it." He took the butterfly and reached out and rubbed her cheek. "But…" He blushed with a loving smile. "…As nice as this gift is…I truly wish to fell those wonderful lips press against mine again…" Bella blushed hard and smiled stepping to him as their bodies where slightly against each other "Then…kiss me" Steven's arms wrapped around her waist, pulling her close to his body. She wraps her arm around his neck.

Their lips touched in a romantic sweet kiss, Bella pushed more into the kiss has their mouths open and their tongues swirled together. They both suddenly felt a spark hit their bodies. They both gasp and separated from a bit. Steven's heart fluttered. "Wow…d-did you feel that to?" Bella nodded, her heart being fast. She felt his grip tighten around her waist. "Hey…do you think we could be…soul mates?" Bella's widens "Soulmates…" she turned red and smiled "I.. I think we are…."

The next day was the first day of school, not for classes but for students that are moving into the dorms and of course Orientation Day. At the Dorms, Dustina walking behind Bella who walked through the busy hallways has students were running back and forth. Joseph sighs "This is a shared gender dorm house?" Bella nodded "Yes, don't worry mom I'll be fine" Dustin chuckled carrying some of her boxes. Has they reached her room.

Bella taking out her key, she unlocked it and opened it up. Most of her stuff that she had got for her dorm was already in the room. The three of them walked in. Dustin putting the box down, he smiled "Aww how cute, a little studio" Joseph looked around and started to walk in more, it was a very nice studio dorm.

First interior is set in an dorm room. The total area of this small studio home is just 21 square meters. The tall black storage unit that stands between the bed and the sofa is the wardrobe; this provides the only large scale divide in the room. The vibrant color choices would have you think that this was a new build rather than being well over a century in standing. The small loveseat is stuffed with cozy cushions and a faux fur throw. Juicy orange color pops contrast against luscious green indoor plants. A base of grey and white tame the brighter hues so that the palette doesn't become childish or overbearing. Opposite the sofa, black kitchen cabinets match the storage unit on the other side. Wall units make full use of the vertical space. A glossy white backsplash prevents the look from becoming too heavy. A modern fruit bowl and a set of decorative candles sit on top of a small breakfast bar that's big enough to seat three people for dinner. An induction hob keeps the countertop sleek. A tidy selection of cooking oils and cutting boards are dotted along the work surface as decoration and to free up some valuable cupboard space. Wall mounted coat hooks keep the hallway tidy and keep bulky winter coats out of the narrow wardrobe in the main room. A small nook contains a tiny washbasin by the front door. A stool makes a handy bedside table, and a wall shelf over the head of the bed provides an attractive display surface. The bedding is a bold mix of tribal print and geometric pattern, which brings bags of character to the limited space. Wall art matches the edgy modern tribal theme of the bedclothes. Little nuggets of greenery are everywhere throughout this small apartment. The plants make the scheme feel friendly and provide cleaner air in these close quarters.

Dustin see's a door and opened it, Joseph peeks in, a tiny bathroom has been given its own pop of style with the simple and easy introduction of geometric and colorful towels. Dustin chuckled "She has her own bathroom which is good" Joseph nods moving away then blinks to see a balcony door. He steps over and opens it walking out, an outdoor balcony is adorned with sweet colorful fabric cushions, plus matching blooms. Plant pots have been hooked over the railing to achieve extra gardening opportunities for green fingers. Dustin chuckles "I say she will be alright love" Bella smiled "Mom, Dad I'll be alright" Joseph sighs and turns to her "What of Arnold?" Bella frowned and nodded away "I will just have to live seeing him…" "Knock, Knock?" Bella turned and smiled brightly "Steven!" he chuckles, walking in, looking around "Welcome to my Dorm studio" she giggled out. "It looks great. It fits you." He held up a butterfly decorative box. "I brought you a gift." Bella blinked "another gift?" Dustin chuckles "aww how sweet"

Bella smiles and takes it. Opening she pulled out a plated crystal butterfly. Beside it was her name written in Calligraphy. Bella gasps "wow… Steven this is beautiful!" Dustin chuckles at them "well I guess she's in good hands! Come on hun lets go ahead and head home" Bella smiled at them "thank you mom, dad for helping me" Dustin chuckles hugs her "Anytime hunny" Joe pouted slightly but hugs Bella "call up alright?" Bella nodded "I promise mom" Dustin smiled taking Joe's hand "Come on love" Dustin drags Joseph away.

Has that door closed, Bella placed her gifts down and wraps her arms around his neck kissing him. He chuckles kissing her back, their tongues moved together. Bella end up moaned softly pulling him with her has they both fell on her bed. Steven hovered over her, he looked down at her. He had just release she was wearing a pink skirt and white tank top. Her sandals where already off her feet. Her arms where above her head in a sexy position. She blushed at him with a smile "Steven…" "Bella…" leaning down his lips touched her they both groan in the kiss. Reaching up her hands ran through his hair has their tongues swirled tighter, moving more in between her legs, reaching down he unzipped his pants moved them down a little. His lower half moved on its own has he started to rub up against her. He then pulls up and frowned. He gets up backing away and fixing his pants. "I'm sorry…As much as I want you right now…I want our time to be special…" Bella smiles up at him and sits up fixing her skirt "I know" she leaned on him taking his hand holding it "and our first time will be special"

He smiles at her, kissing her forehead. "Oh…there is another reason I wanted to stop by. My older brother did not like the fact that Arnold gave you that bruise… he is being punished and will be unable to attend school for the next two months. I know you were a little worried about seeing him but now you can have two more months without seeing his face. My brother sends his apologies to you and he approves of us. The whole family does." Bella blushes "I see" she closes her eyes 'I don't have to see him for two months huh.. that's good… I hope me and him can still be friends…' "well then" she gets up "need to change into my school uniform for Orientation, it's half an hour" a Knock on the door has it opened, Bella at this point is happy that they didn't go any further or someone what have walked right on in. It was Valora and Esme "Oh you have your new boyfriend" they grin at them. Bella blushed. "Hello." Steven says with a wave.

"Well hurry up and change, we will meet you outside with Aaron and Luke" the twins said, Bella nodded "Alright" the twins looked at Steven and grinned then closing the door. Bella sighs softly "Sorry about the dragon twins, they are very sweet girls though" "Oh yeah. I know. They are famous around here for popping up everywhere and scaring people sometimes. It's hilarious when it happens to the right person of course." He says chuckling. Bella giggled "Well I should uhm change…!" she walked over to her closet taking out her uniform and went to the bathroom closing the door. Steven smiles and his face flushed, this would be the first time seeing in her school uniform. "Um…would you like me to wait outside?" He asked. There was no answer so he didn't move, couple of minutes later. She stepped out wearing the school uniform and black tight socks. Her hair was all combed out, she smiles stepping over to him and did a small twirl. He chuckled with a redden face. "You look very cute Bella."

At the Auditorium, the group of kids were sitting together. Aerith next to Jayden, holding his hand. Ebony next to Ayden holding his, Klaus with his friends looking back at Naomi who sitting with her sister and friends giggled at him. Klaus smirks at her, Semyaza nudged him making Klaus pout "Dude what was that for?" "he's gonna began soon" Klaus sighs. Their other friends chuckles at them, Semyaza looks around and smiles to see Azaya walking around the corner and bumped into a new demon who blinked at her and gasped bowing his head "S-Sorry P-Princess Azaya…!" Azaya blinked down at her "uhm its fine… there's no nee do bow… here at school it's alright" the demon looked up at her and flushed 'she's cute up close' Semyaza bites his lip. Klaus sensing this looks over had Semyaza stood up and marched over "Azaya" Azaya turned to him and grins "SEM!" students looked up has she ran to him hugging him "I missed you!" she giggled out. He hugged her back. "I miss you to."

"Shesh Azaya" Azaya blinked and turned around to see Bella, Valora, Esme, Aaron, Luke and Steven holding Bella's hand. Azaya smiled "Bella!" she giggled skipping over hugging her. Bella giggled hugging her back "Soo! How are you and your handsome boyfriend here" students gasps and started to whisper. Bella smiled "Good, do you mind if me and Steven sit next to you and Sem?" Azaya giggled out "Sure!" Once all the students were setting Raphael walked out and begin his yearly speech.

"Good morning students! I would like to welcome you to Mizuki Academy. As you know my brother the former principal is no longer here so I will he stepping back into the duty once more. For those who do not know me I am Raphael. I am pleased to meet you all. Here at Mizuki Academy well help you explore and train your very unique powers as well as guide you on a trail of knowledge. There are is class that you cannot find here and if you do, don't hesitate to ask for it to he included into the school's logs."

He looked around with a smile. "I do notice some new faces here some not born here from Xacron so allow me to go over our main rules. You can find the rest in your PDA system. This Academy has a very, very low tolerance for bullying. There has not been many cases here but within the past year or two there have been some unrest as new student enter. So listen to be very closely. Anyone who is found bulling another student will get three strikes. The first strike is detention for one month, with added cleaning duties. The second strike is call of a 3-week suspension and finally if things escalate further you will be expelled." He heard some gasps as he does every year. "J-Just for bullying!?" Someone called out "Yes, just for bullying. Because Xacron is a place where everyone gets a second chance. Our Queen, Lady Oichi rebuilt this city for the sake of prospering peace and harmony. Not to mention she was once bullied when she was your age." He heard the usual shocking gasps from a few students here and there. "Nonetheless, bullying is not tolerated in this Academy and in any case the bullying is not reported to me or a faculty member then rest assured the one getting bullied has every right to defend him or herself." He smiles softly. "Now with that being said. I hope you all enjoy your time this year and one last thing…couples…" He eyes Jayden and Aerith. Jayden shook. He looked at Semyaza and Azaya. Semyaza huffed out turning his head. "Please keep the physical touching down to a minimum please. With that said, enjoy yourself this year and my door is always open if you need something."

A week soon went by, Within a forest, Alcaeus was sitting against a tree with a dead look in his eyes. He no longer had a reason to live anymore. He has no where to go, no one needed him, and if he'd had the energy he would have ended his own life. Tears started to run down his cheek, rolling down the dried tear marks that were already there.

A portal opened in front of him and Marik walked out with Rave who was crawling on all fours. "There you are. I've been looking for you." Alcaeus didn't move. "Aw, it seems like you have been abandoned. Flea. Go try to cheer him up." Rave, with blankness in eyes, crawled over to Alcaeus and sits on his knees. He leans up and starts to lick his cheek, tasting his tears. A slight red tint came to his cheeks as he did this. Alcaeus eyes slowly drifted to him and then back up to Marik. "Feel better?" "W…what do you want…" He asked. "I came to get you of course. After all you're a demon and I will never abandon you." He walked up and reaches out a hand. "Come, it's time to fine your purpose now and I will help you find it." Rave backed away and sat like a good puppy. Alcaeus reached up and grabbed Marik's hand. "Don't worry Al, you are much to special to waste away here." Marik says with a chuckle.

In Iceland, a woman was running through the woods. She was wearing a black hooded cloth. She was holding a bundle close to her chest. Behind her she saw figures running after her. "There she is! Capture her!" She heard them yelling. Panting she kept running. One of the figures got close to her. She turns around and launched a black orb at them blasting them away from her. She kept running as more came after her. "Dammit! How hard is it to catch one witch! Back up! We need back up!" A man yelled.

More men started to rain down from the trees. The woman bit her lip as the bundle in her arm started to move. They quickly surrounded the woman forcing her to stop. "Give up now! Stop with the running and listen you damn witch!" The woman didn't listen as she held up her hand and unleased a large magic ball and slammed it into the ground cracking it and making the earth shake underneath them. They all jumped back, and the woman used magic to slip away. "Dammit! Why the hell is she running!"

They heard chuckling and watched as a shadow formed in front of them. They quickly took a knee as Xavier appeared out of the shadow. "I will take it from here." He walked through the forest calmly. 'I wonder if she turned against Val. Then I should be free to kill her right…' He chuckled disappearing.

At Rick's tattoo parlor, it was a full house. Kalmin was getting his tattoo finally finished today. Chida up on top was taking inventory, he hummed softly. Feeling some presence, he blinked and looked around. Stepping over to the rail and looked down. he didn't senesce it, he frowned and turned only to hear Greg "Hello Lucius Luther, welcome what can I do for you today?" Chida blinked and turning around looking down to see such a very good looking man, a highly gorgeous man. He was tall, fair skin, blonde hair and yellow vampiric eyes. The man chuckles "I was looking for getting a tattoo of a tree. Greg chuckled "I see mhmm where and how big?" he lifted his shirt and Chida got a good look of the mans slim beauty fair tone skin and body. Chida gulped at this. "On my left side.. I was thinking like a skeleton growing into a tree?" Gregg hummed "Mhmm I think I know what your talking about, let me draw it up and I'll came back" the man nodded "Sure" he said putting down his shirt. Greg walked off, the man sighs softly and looked up. His eyes and Chida's eyes meet, Chida's eyes widen and Lucius smiled at him with a soft respectful bow. Chida gulped and moved away back to the office. He sat down at the desk and shook slightly 'who is.. he…?'

At the manor, Oichi was resting peacefully. Orochi was tucking her in. Beside her the twins were also sleeping. With her spending so much time working she didn't see them as much so she played with them all day. The girls were off to day care. There was a soft knock at the door. Orochi walked over to it and opened it to see Terrance. "What?" He asked. "How is she?" "Resting. No work today." "I know. I know. I only wanted to check on her." They both shot a glare at each other before Terrance walked away.

In the castle, a guard was walking by. He stopped and looked around before slipping into Oichi's office. He closed the door gently and rushed over to the large portrait of Sakamoto. Smirking the guard reaches up to touch it but was shocked. He hissed out holding his hand. There was a magic barrier around the picture. "Hmf…" Taking out a black glowing glove he walked up to it again and by passed the barrier. Chuckling he tore the picture off the wall. "This will fetch a great price on the market haha…" Just then the door slammed opened. Bracken and a few other guards rushed in. "Halt!" Bracken yelled. The guard snitched his teeth and jumped through the window with the portrait. "After him!" Bracken yelled as the guards chased the man down. Bracken walked up to the empty area where there portrait once was. "Dammnit…" He looked down to see a pendant that the guard had dropped. Picking it up he saw the family crest of the Vermont's. Bracken sighs. "This isn't good…"

At the magic council, Victoria was looking over the globe. They had a pike of sudden detection of rebellions "We should notify Queen Jess and Queen Oichi right away" Ciccy nodded and rushed off. Victoria frowns "This isn't good…"

At Dracula's castle, in his meeting room. He stood at his head chair with the two kings and new vampire lords. Dracula leaned back into his chair "How are things going in Grivida Zach?" Zach smiled "Good my Lord, vampire there are happy and no crimes so far" Dracula nodded with a hum, he turns to Seth "and how is everything on your end Seth?"

"Troublesome…it looks like the Vermont family is still moving around despite everything that has happened…" Dracula closes his eyes, they all can feel is anger "and?"

Seth went on. "It seems like Oichi's family is their prime target as they even went so far as to sneak into Takara's baby shower…Father has been looking into this own his own and has captured many spies within the castle. However…this is making some of the Nobles uneasy. Even after you took their source of income and titles…they are still finding ways to get close to our family…" Dracula's fist hit the table cracking it making the vampire lords jump. Zach breathes softly "aren't they bold going after Oichi and her family"

Dracula stood up "nameless disgusting little rats, they will all die by my blade…. But no matter I heard two unknown members dead by werewolf bites and they were refused treatment in London… Selena's curse on that nameless family will die off from it"

Seth links his fingers together. "And what of the children that they forced women and some men to have? Such as Scott, the son of Shamir who was taken in by Oichi. Will the curse affect them as well?" "what? Of course not, why do you ask this?" Dracula says.

Zach looked at Seth and saw uneasiness in his eyes. "There is something else your not telling us…" Dracula narrowed "What do you mean on what I'm telling you…"

Seth sighs and takes out a piece of paper. He pushed it over to Dracula. "Father found it on the last spy who was captured at Takara's baby shower. Dracula looked at it and his anger intestines. "Its…a contact on Alisha to take her life…and at the bottom it has a false seal of your approval…" Seth says gripping his hands together in anger. "We could tell it was fake but to regular and new age vampires who haven't seen the real thing, they would have no chose but to believe that you put a hit out on Alisha…I haven't spoken to this about Oichi yet because of her condition currently..." Dracula's eyes widen and shined red, Zach right away got up and moved away and Seth's body froze and he can feel his blood boil "My lord please..!" Zach pleaded.

Dracula extended his hand and letter came to his hands. Biting his lip looking down on. Sitting down he breathes calming down and Seth's body relaxed. Zach gulped and sat down, the other vampires lord that where quiet where too scared to speak. "Mhmm well then… What do you want me to do Seth? Call a press conference on this?"

"It may be to late for that…look at the price…someone is paying a lot of money just to get Alisha. You can try but, Even if you do the press conference there is no way of telling that those who this letter would see it…What I want…is permission to fully exterminate the Vermont clan to put a end to this. Lady Selena curse has one of them die every year but the Vermont's family is much larger than it was before you went to sleep. They will not stop coming after my grandchild and if they keep up the attacks, I know that Oichi will no longer stand by. She will hunt them down and take their heads with or without your permission…"

Dracula closes his eyes "Mhmm, then you have my permission Seth. DO you wish to have a small group of my vampire guards to command?"

"No, my lord…my father as you know is the best for this type of work. All we needed was your permission to do what he does best. He even had a location of a bar where a couple of Vermont rats hang out at. Once he gets word that he is allowed to do what he pleases he will start shutting them down bit by bit. I just hope they won't go to far with Oichi…" Dracula put his fingers together "take Zach with you" Zach's eyes widen "me?" Seth frowned. "Him…"

Dracula nodded "You both will do this together, Zach I know you have your doctor job but you are a king along with Seth and you will help in taking out the Vermont family" Zach bowed his head "Of course my lord" Seth let out a soft sigh and also bowed. "If that is your order it will be followed…" Zach pouted "You don't want me help old friend? After all we use to be so close when we were young" he grinned. Dracula blinked "oh close?" Zach chuckles with a wink. "Yes…as close as a fly Swatter and a fly…" Seth says with a sigh.

A knock on the door, Dracula looked up has a guard stepped in and bowed "My lord, Lady Serena is here has you requested" Dracula smiled "wonderful send her in, oh and vampire lords if that fake seal shows up in your lands know that my seal is made by me personally of my own blood" he said biting his finger letting his scent of blood filled there noses, their bodies shock from smelling it. "You will report it right away I'm I clear?" hearing heeled footsteps they turn to see Serena walk in wearing a stunning A Line Black Side Slit Cross Front Backless Long gown and black heels. Zach smiled and bowed "Lady serena its so good to see you" Serena giggled "it's good to see you also brother half in law" Zach chuckles at her.

Dracula cleared his throat "Before you all leave I have announcement to make, Lady Serena has agreed to become my consort Zach's eyes widen "Is this true?" Serena blushed and nodded "Lady Selena approved so I accepted…"Dracula nodded stepping over lifting her left hand and put on a Victorian gothic ring with a blood ruby on it, kissing the back of her hand making her giggle.

"Congratulations to you." Seth says. His beads started to blink. "King Seth." Rex voice chimes out. "Rex I'm in a meeting." "Apologies but your needed right away at the castle. A Vermont spy has entered and stolen the painting of Prince Sakamoto." Seth eyes widen as he stood up. "What!?" "The spy has been captured but the painting is gone. With Lady Oichi's condition in fear this will turn… problematic." Seth grows out. "I'm on the way! Don't let that spy go anywhere!" "Of course sir." Seth bows to Dracula. "I'm sorry I must take my leave immediately." Dracula nodded "there's no need to apologize, go Seth" Zach frowned "why would they still his painting?"

One of the vampire Lords, Vega sighs. He was very handsome and had black and white hair and blue eyes. "Excuse my rudeness, but is just a picture. Is it really all that important?" Suddenly Seth's demon dog appeared and clamped its fangs down in front of Vega. He gaps, falling to the ground. He caught the gaze of an angry Seth who's eyes were glowing. "Watch that disrespectful tongue of yours or else I'll cut it out…That painting of Sakamoto is very important to Oichi and to our family. I'll will not allow you or anyone else in this room to disrespect it. Understand?" Vega nodded shaking slightly. "My apologies…"

Zach crosses his arms "Yes very disrespectful, that paining was painted by my twins for Oichi think before you act Lord Vega" Dracula clapped his hands "Enough this calls the end of this meeting, Seth you may go right away with Zach" Zach bowed "Of course my Lord"

Seth and Zach both left the room quickly and were about to exit the doors when suddenly Zach was grabbed and pushed up against the wall. His eyes widen when Seth slammed a hand next to his face, narrowing his eyes. "Seth?" Seth got very close, and Zach felt his chest tighten just a little. "Sometimes your teasing hurts…a little to much…" His thump reached out rubbed the bottom of Zach's lip, making his eyes widen. "There is a reason why I dislike being paired with you to do anything these days." He stepped away and without another word left, heading to Oichi's castle. Zach's eyes widen following Seth leave the area, he could feel himself flushing. Zach took a breath and smirked then followed after Seth.

At the manor, Oichi had a heated face as Orochi helped her into a robe. The twins were deep sleepers. He took that chance to get in a quickie with her. "You pervert…" She says pouting. Orochi chuckled. "Oh shush. You enjoyed every bit of it. Had the twins not been here we could have went longer." Oichi's face got redder. There was a knock on the door. Orochi sighs as Oichi went to sit on the bed with the twins.

Orochi opened the door to see Terrance and Rinko. "What?" Orochi says with a frown. "There has been a issue that we…need to report…" "No, handle it on your own. She needs rest." Terrance frown. "It's about the prince's painting in her office." Orochi narrowed his eyes until he was pushed out the way by Oichi. "You mean Saki's painting? What about it? Did it fall? I know that happens sometimes." Terrance looked nervous. "N-No…it's not that. It's just best if you come with me. Rinko will watch the twins since I doubt Orochi wont let you go by yourself." "Got that right…" Orochi grumbles. Oichi hums out. "Okay…let me change right quick."

Back in Iceland. The woman was breathing heavy as she sat beside a tree. She had been fight back the men who were trying to capture her. The bundle in her arm started to move more. "Ssshhh…it's okay…" She rubs it. She gets up and starts walking but before she could go another step she was grabbed by a shadow. She gasps and fights it off before running off but the shadow was to quick for her. It grabbed her ankle and held her still. She still tried to fight off but it was no use. She finally gave up.

"Well, that was disappointing." Her head snapped up as the shadows put her down. She turned around to see Xavier. "Lord…Xavier?" He chuckled. "Crissy…seems like you have been causing some issues for me." The woman got up and removed the cloak from over her face. Xavier eyes widen in slight delight. Crissy now had black hair and bright red eyes. "Oh my…you changed your appearance I see…if I wasn't so madly in love with Phoenix right now, I'd have my way with you right here and now." Crissy frowned. "Why are you here…" "I have come to fetch you on the orders of Val." "She told me to not return until its was time." "There have been some changes…she is pregnant…" Crissy eyes widen. "What!? How! A-Alcaeus…?" She held the bundle in her arms tighter. "No, it wasn't with him. It was with the anti-Christ Zi. Her magic is fading and she is ready to pull of her last plan. It would be best to come back now." Crissy eyes widen even more. "The what!? Who? H-Her magic is fading already!?" Xavier looked at the bundle. "Is this the child?" Crissy sighs and removes the buddle. Xavier chuckled. There was no doubt about it. This was Valeriea's child. She had peachy skin with short black hair and gray hair. She had a blank stare that sent chills downs his spine. "Ah yes…this is definitely her daughter." He saw the necklace around her neck. "Blocking her other side?" Crissy nods. "As I have been order to do so." "How old is she?" "She turned one in April…" "Mhmm…well anyways let's get going. I miss my loving witch and children. You cost me a lot of men Crissy, I hope you are ready to repay that." Crissy sighs and follows him.

Back at the castle, Zach and Seth had arrive right behind out, outside. The spy was pin to the ground in cuffs with guards all around. They bowed to them as Seth walked past him. The first thing he did was kick the spy in his chest thrusting his body back into a tree. The spy gasps out and falls down breathing hard. "You have a lot of nerve to come here and take something that valuable. Where is it." The spy cough and chuckled. "G-Gone…" "Gone where…" Seth asked in a low tone. The spy just chuckled. "You'll never find it." Seth grew angry. "I've always hated the Vermont clan but allow me to give you some secret info…I have been given permission to finally end this pathetic clan." The spies' eyes widen. "What?!" "I will find you all and wipe you out until there is nothing left." The spy sat up, triggered by his words. "You think you can take us on! You worthless King! If that stupid emperor couldn't stop us, then what good would you two be! You think you two can do anything to stop what's coming!? That child will die by our hand and her bitch of a mother can die along with her! We will never stop until we get what we are owe and we want revenge!" Zach growled "Ooo I gonna enjoy whipping out your clan with Seth" "you can try but you will fail!"

Seth breathing heavily, his eyes glowed red in anger. Zach looked at him "Calm down Seth… we will find Sakamoto's painting…" "Don't tell me to calm down!" Seth says snapping at him.

Zach frown, he can sense Oichi on her way and needed to calm down Seth before Oichi comes in here. Zach bites his lip looking back at Seth who was swearing in Vampirish. Zach stepped to him "Seth!" Seth growled out "WHAT?!" Zach grabbed his face and leaned in kissing him. Seth eyes widen and the guards behind him looked shocked as well. Seth pushed away from Zach. "Seriously? At a time like this!?" "It was the only way to calm you down"

The spy gaged. "Disgusting…and you call us pigs…" Seth glared at him and looked at he guards who turned their heads. He sighs. "Unbelievable…"

Inside the castle, Oichi was walking behind Terrance wearing a cute a-liner halter top, black and white dress with her hair down. Orochi was frowning at that. "Why do you have to always dress up when you go see that painting?" Oichi smiles. "Because Saki like's seeing me in dresses." "I'm your husband now, you should be looking cute for me!" "I do! But you are more interested in seeing me without clothes!" Orochi thought to himself. "I…did say that…" Oichi chuckled. Terrance frowned scared at how Oichi would take this news. They reached her office to see Guards posted. They put their heads down ashamed. "Did…something happen?" Oichi asked. "Well…" Terrance says as they walked into her office.

Oichi's frowned to see the empty stop where the painting use to be. Bracken and a few guards were inside. Bracken turned around. "Lady Oichi…" "Where is Saki's painting?" She asked walking to the wall. "…I…it…" Bracken bit his lip and dropped to his knee along with the guards. "I beg your forgiveness, Lady Oichi. A spy dressed as a guard snuck in and stole the painting. We captured him but he had already given the painting away. We have no idea where it could be currently.

Oichi kept her eyes on the empty spot. "Did…Did you say…s-stolen?" She asked softly. "Someone…Someone…Someone took Saki from me?" She started to breath heavy. The air grew tense. Her hands went to her face as she tears up. A sharp pain ran through her chest but she was to disrupt to even feel it. Deerward on the other hand was pushed out of her body for a brief second before returning to her. Oichi shook and tears up. "No…No! Who took it! Who took my painting!" Orochi rushed to her grabbing her. "It was a Vermont spy…" Bracken says holding up the pendent. Tears ran down Oichi's cheeks. She squeezed her eyes closed. She then screamed out so loud that her aura busted out.

He threw Orochi into Terrance and pushed back Bracken and the guards. The windows shattered and the room shook and crack. Outside Seth and Zach heard her scream as saw the window shatter. "Crap…" Seth says as he felt a sudden rush of bloodlust. Zach's eyes widen "Shit…"

Back in the room, Oichi breath heavily. She turned to Bracken with anger in her eyes and tears rolling uncontrollably down her cheeks. "You…YOU!" She launched at him. "This is YOUR fault! How dare you allow someone in here to steal my Painting! I'll KILL YOU!" He eyes turned pink as she punched Bracken through the wall.

Bracken gasps feeling nearly all of his ribs being crushed. He body hit the next wall and became stuck. He coughed out blood and his body felt drained just from the one hit. Oichi ran to him full on ready to kill him with one blow. Terrance suddenly appeared in front of her and blocked the hit. "Oichi! Stop! You can't kill him!" Oichi's foot lifted and kicked Terrance in the head. She was dizzy and caught off guard by the hit. Grabbing his head she brought it down to her knee hitting him hard in the face. Not wasting one moment she took his head and slammed it into the ground.

Bracken was able to free himself from the wall, but his body was already shutting down. 'She…She really is trying to kill me…' He shook and looked up to see Oichi punching at Terrance. "Oichi please stop this!" He yelled.

Oichi was not listening as she slipped into her second form. Terrance eyes widen as she jumped on him and bit into his neck. Even though in his human form his skin was hard, using her aura she was able to break though it. She bites him deeply nearly tearing the flesh from his neck. Terrance pushed her away. Only to be grabbed by her aura claws. Another pair grabbed Bracken to. Blood from Terrance's neck was pouring out quickly. "O-Oichi…please stop…this…" He pleaded.

She looked up at him with pink eyes and a sadistic smile appeared on her face. "Hooo? This isn't Oichi right now." Turning to Bracken she grabbed his neck. "Mortals…such pathetic creatures. I could snap your neck in a second but that would be too easy." She held up her claw and stabbed Bracken in the gut and through the back. His eyes widen as he screamed out. Terrance eyes widen in shock as she dropped him on the floor, her hand covered in blood. She started to laugh. "Just a little more! A little more and this body will be mine!"

Just then the floor under her cracked and broke. A large serpent appeared and grabbed her, tightly, holding her body steal. Her aura disappears, dropping Terrance. Orochi walked through the gapping hold. "Ikari…you madding lunatic…get out of my wife's body." Ikari, now speaking through Oichi chuckled. "Or what? You will kill me? I don't understand why you just don't join me. You were once fear through this world and now you become nothing but a silly pet to this girl. If you join me then your name will be feared once more. You can show the world who the demon of chaos really is." "Why…so you can try to control me once more? It didn't work the last time it wont work now. Release Oichi. Now." Ikari simply smirked at him. "Father is sleeping right now and until he wakes, I won't leave this body but the longer I'm in here the more I'll be able to take over. What to do…what to do…" She says laughing. "Tisk…for all the times the damn deer would sleep."

At the school, Jess was in her classroom. It was lunchtime, and she was alone in her room eating her lunch. Mhmm softly only to stop and her eyes widen, standing up fast "Oichi….!" She ran out of the room to rushed towards the castle.

At the castle, Guards were tending to Terrance and Bracken. Terrance's neck wound was healing but Bracken was in worse shape. "R-Rex, we need emergency transport for Bracken now." "Understood." Rex says teleporting Bracken to the hospital.

Ikari struggled in Oichi's body but the serpents wouldn't let her go. Seth and Zach, who had jumped through a broken window rushed in and saw Oichi. "What are you doing?" Seth asked Orochi. "This isn't Oichi…" Seth frowned looking back at Oichi. Her eyes were pink even in her second form. "Let me go!" She yelled. "I'll kill all of you! I'll burn this place to the ground! I'll tear you apart!" She screamed out in rage. "She learned about the painting being stolen…and lost it. She nearly killed Bracken and bit the hell out Terrance." Seth spotted a large pool of blood from where Bracken was and looked at Terrance. "I'll be fine…but we have to bring her back somehow…" Zach frowned "How are we gonna do that? This Ikari..!"

Ikari laughed at them. "Just wait, you think he can hold me back forever but once I break the last two chains this woman's body is mine! I will use her to burn down her own city! I'll slaughter all of loved ones…" She chuckled madly. "I'll leave her children for last as they take their last breath knowing it was their own mother who took their lives and once everyone around her is dead, I'll watch her crumble... from her own madness until she takes her own life! Ahhahaha!" Orochi bit his lip. "Damn you woman. Let her go! You will never have Oichi's body."

Then the doors burst open and Jess walked in and her eyes widen at this, Zach gasped "Jess…." Jess frowned at Oichi and then narrowed "Ikari" "Oooo…where is my uncle girl…summon him so that I may speak to him." Ikari says with a chuckle. Jess crossed her arms "no, he's to busy to talk to you. I just guess you're not important" Ikari just laughs. "That is fine. Eventually he will have to come for my father. I'll leave with this message. Two more triggers…that's all I need and once I am freed, I will come for my dear father. He will go through the pain I had to when he sealed me away. He will watch as the vessel he loves so much go through so much pain as I force her to kill every last one of you. I will enjoy it fully. Today was only a little taste but when I return madness will follow Hahaha!"

Oichi's eyes went blank and her turned back into her human form. The serpent released her. Orochi rushed up to her and caught her. She turned paled and her body grew cold. "Oichi!?" "She's fine…" They heard Deerward's voice echo through the room. He sounded weaker as that was all he could say. Seth sighs. "This is worse than we thought…how are we suppose to keep her from being…triggered?...with everything going on around her. We don't even know what could set her off." He ran his fingers through his hair. Jess frowned looking at the wall "Saki's painting…" Zach nodded "A Vermont spy took it and sold it" Jess made fists 'the Vermont family… again?'

Orochi sighs standing up with Oichi in his arms. "We will have to tread carefully around her…Deerward is also weaken and he cannot keep her calm in these intense moments. Rinko…Rinko may be able to help her a little." "How so?" Seth asked. "He feeds off of her negativity. That may help things for a while until we figure something out." Jess nods "That's a good idea, have Rinko always with" she stopped "R-Ronnie… is here" Zach's eyes widen feeling his presence suddenly as they heard him sigh behind them. Jess turned "Ronnie… uhm.." Deliora next to him with Alaric, Deliora frowns "we were on our way over… Oichi agreed to watch Alaric for us… What happen… here?" Deliora asked.

Ronnie walked up to Orochi and glared at him. "Hey! It was not my doing this time. Blame the stupid deer…" Ronnie sighs. "Explain…now…" "She's being targeted by the deer's daughter, Ikari. She is trying to take over Oichi's body by causing a trigger. Something that would normally send Oichi to the deep end…She said that she only needs two more times before she can gain control of her and seal Deerward away. We were just discussing what to do." Ronnie sighs looking at Oichi. Terrance was helped up by a guard. "Oichi…she grows weak every time it happens. Today, A Vermont spy stole the painting of Sakamoto that she loved so dearly. It drove her to the point where she nearly killed Bracken…" Ronnie frowned. "Sakamoto's painting has been taken?" Terrance nods. Ronnie gripped his fist. Seth walks up to him. "Fear not Ronnie…I finally have Permission to wipe that clan out. One day we will find Sakamoto's painting and bring it home…" Ronnie sighs. "Very well…get this under control Seth…I trust you to bring this to an end." Seth nods. "You have my word."

At the Mikcloud manor, Dawn was in the drawing room with Violet. Violet was in a stunning white and blue Brielle Formal Floral Satin Dress and heels. Dawn next to her was wearing a Elegant Long Fitted Stretch Satin Gown. "So how are you Dawn?" Violet asked her sipping her tea. Dawn sips her tea and sighs "I don't know.. unhappy…?" Violet blinked at her "Your unhappy?" Dawn frowns looking down at her teacup "It's just that I feel unhappy with Zach… I do love him deeply but I just feel like I'm not enough for him… like I'm not the one truly for him.. I can never replace what he truly had with Kira… even Draven…"

Violet frowns "Do you plain on leaving him…?" Dawn nodded softly "Yeah… I've.. talked to Rose about it and she was tearing thinking I'm gonna stop being her mother and I could never stop being her mother… I raised her for Kira" Violet nodded "True Dawn, Kira maybe her birth mother but you raised her with Zach, you are her mother in ever way and right" Dawn sniffs "do you think he will hate me?"

Violet's eyes widen "Zach?! Oh hell no, Zach isn't like that. You know he would understand, all you gotta do is sit down and talk to him" Dawn tears "I don't want to hurt him but I don't feel it anymore… the sex is amazing of course but I just feel it anymore…" Violet sat up and stepped over to her and sat down hugging her "Oh Dawn, everything is gonna be alright.. let it all out hun" Dawn teared in Violet's shoulder.

In Hell, Marik was in in his manor sitting in room on the couch. Rave was beside him sitting down on the floor, with his head down. Alcaeus was standing in front of him. "So do you remember the conversation we had about you being my body guard? My most trusted ally?" Alcaeus nods. "It sounded stupid…at the time…" "I know because you were so connected with Val…but now that you aren't you will be my guard…however…with the way you are now I cant allow you to be that." Alcaeus frowned looking down. "Your hatred of Lilith I don't mind but not her children. They haven't done anything to you other then being born. You have a deep hatred of Beel and his family and once Azaya starts coming here freely I cant have you attacking her on site. So I have to reform you."

"Reform me…?" Alcaeus asked. "Yes, rebuild you from the ground up. You need to find your center and learn to live for yourself. You do not have an identity and therefore you do not have a purpose on your own. So this is what I'm going to do. I am going to take your demon powers for a while." Alcaeus eyes widen and then he signs. "Fine…Everything else was already taken from me." "Yup, that will leave you to be only human. As well I will change your identity and set you back a few years. Deep down you are still a young child. You were never able to get a grip with who you are. Until you find something that defines you, your powers will remain locked. Once you figure out who you are, what you are, and your purpose only then you will regain your powers and you will earn your spot by my side. Understand?" Alcaeus frowned but nods. "Y-Yes Lord Zi…" Marik smiles and snaps his finger. A seal appeared on Alcaeus chest, and he gasps as his demon powers were taken. At the same time, he started to slightly shrink. No longer was he in his 30s but back into a normal human boy at the age of 20. His hair was now short and black, and he kept his red eyes. He looked down at himself. "Wha…" Rune blushed at him looking down. "Keep your head down Flea. He isn't a toy for your enjoyment…" Marik says. Rune quickly put his eyes to the floor. "Now…go forth Alcaeus. I hope you will soon find your purpose and return to me." A portal opened under him, and he fell through disappearing from Hell. Marik leans back on the couch. "Much luck to you young one."

In Xacron, it was nearing the end of the day, girls were in the hall crowding around the hallway. They had their camera's ready for their thrill of the day. A classroom door opened, and the triplets walked out making the girls blushed. Ayden yawns, and had a blank look on his face. Kaleb was reading a book not really paying attention and Jayden was in the middle of them. He had headphones on, bobbing his head to some music. The girls squealed looking at them and started snapping pictures of them. The boys didn't mind since they were so use to it by now. So long as the girls didn't touch them, they were fine with the pictures. "I'm hungry…" Ayden says. "You ate three bento boxes." Kaleb says. "Still hungry!" Ayden responds. "Oh! I got extras at my locker!" Jayden says a bit loudly. "Nice! Let's go get it!" Ayden says chuckling as a girl snapped his picture. Aerith and Ebony narrowed at girls, Ebony bites her lip and wiggles her fingers and smirked. Aerith chuckles "Did you hex her camera?" Ebony nodded "Yup ever picture she takes of the guys will show up has a black picture" Aerith smirked "Oooo nice"

At the lockers, Jayden handed Ayden a bento box and he opened it and started eating. A freshman walked up to them with a blush. "E-Excuse me…" She says shyly. The triplets looked at her. "Yo?" Jayden says. "What…" Ayden says. "Hmf…" Kaleb says making the girl blush more. "U-Um…I-I wanted to ask…d-do you um…are any of you dating anyone?" Some of the news girls held their breath, scared to ask them that. "Yes." The boys replied at the same time. The girl frowned, disappointed. "You are…all of you?" "Yup." The boys replied at the same time again. "So…all three of you got girlfriends…" "No…" Kaleb says. "I got a boyfriend…fiancé really…" The girls gasp with blushing faces. "You do!?" They said a bit too excited. They were about to crowed him until Jayden and Ayden blocked them. "You can look but no touching." Jayden says. "Our brother is off limits." Ayden says making the girls back off.

Kaleb sighs. "Is it really all that exciting for me to be dating a guy…" His brother chuckled. "Some girls are like Auntie Jess. You know with the Yaoi thing?" Kaleb shakes his head. "How bothersome…" Jayden wrapped his arm around his shoulder. "Don't worry bro! We got you!" Ayden nods. "We'll protect you." Kaleb chuckled. "I don't need your protection but thanks anyways." Aerith and Ebony had enough and walked over "Ayden!" "Jay!"
The boys looked over to them. Aerith and Ebony both stepped up to their boyfriends and right away grabbing their faces and kisses them deeply in front of the girls.

Expecting a reaction of glares, most of the girls around them simply sighs. "Guess that's enough pictures for the day…" someone says as they started to walk off not really caring about the deep kiss the girls gave the boys. They pulled the new girls away from them. "Why are we leaving?" One of them ask. "Eh, it gets a little boring with the girlfriend's step in put their kissing can get uncomfortable…especially Jayden and Aerith. Trust me. It is better to just walk away for now. The older girl says leading her away.

Breaking apart Aerith and Ebony looked around to see a now barely empty hallway. Kaleb yawns and starts walking off. Jayden rubbed his head. "Really now…you still get upset with them taking picture of us? They have been doing it for years now…" Ayden went back to eating the bento box Jayden gave him. Aerith chuckles "Sorry babe" Ebony smiles sitting down next to Ayden.

On the other side of the hall, the twins were getting ready to head home. The clubs wouldn't be opening up for another week or so. "Ah! I found you both." The girls looked to see Dimitri walking over to them. "Dimitri!" Naomi says in shock. "Hey, miss me?" He asked laughing. Naomi pouted. "Of course not!" Alisha giggled. "Welcome back. I heard you went on vacation?" He nods. "Yeah…after breaking up with Kaleb I just felt a little lost…so I went to go stay with my grandparents. Sadly, I didn't know about what happened to Kaleb…but I'm glad he is okay and I Tozrith told me he proposed." "You're not gonna try and break them up are you?" "Na, Kaleb is happy so that's all I care about. It was rough but I moved on. By the way…um…I know it's a big favor to ask but…is there any way I could visit Prince Sakamoto's grave? I feel like I should apologize to him for making Kaleb unhappy." The twins looked at each other then back at him. "Well no one is allowed to be at the site other then the family but maybe we can get a pass from mama." Alisha says.

Dimitri smiled sweetly at her. "Thank you. I would like that a lot." Alisha smiled back at him making him blush a bit. "As always, your smiles are the cutest." She blushed slightly at that comment until Marcellus appeared and wrap a arm around her. "What was that?" He asked glaring at Dimitri.

Dimitri simply laughed. "It was only a compliment, don't worry, I know my lane. See you girls later." The twins waved by to him as he walked off. Naomi hums out. 'He seems a little different…but maybe that's just me…'

At Terry and River's, River was on the recliner chair 8 months pregnant. Blue Maternity Sexy Ruffled Openwork Slitless Long Maxi Dress. Valora and Esme were currently at school. Terry was in the kitchen making snacks, Jareth was at his first day of preschool. Xena was on the floor watching The Magic School Bus with such content eyes. River sighs softly "Terry! I'm hungry…!"

"River if I could rush the food to cook you know I would." Terry says. In the kitchen he was a little lost in thought as he finished the snacks for her. He was informed of what happened at the castle and was worried about his father and Oichi. Since River was high risk with her pregnancy, Oichi had given him the rest of the year off to make sure he was by her side. He placed some finger snacks on a plate and took them into the living room. "Here you go. Hopefully this will hold you and the boys a bit until dinner." River giggled "Yay!" she right away started stuff her face. Xena looked up at Terry "Daddy..?" Terry looked down at her and her face was red "What is it hunny?" Xena flushed "Potty please" "Of course sweetie." He picked her up. "Oh, River, I don't know if I told you, but granny Anna is stopping by. She is bringing Gramps and my uncle by to apologize for what happened. She wanted to wait until the kids get home so she could formally introduce them." River's eyes widen "Oh I see, alright the more the merrier I guess" Xena giggled "Nanna An!" then Xena frowned "daddy potty! Hurry!" "Okay I'm going! So pushy. You're lucky you are so cute." Terry says rushing to the bathroom. River chuckles at them.

At the castle, underground. Mikey was down at Anna's room since Oichi was out for now. Vernon was laying on the couch without a shirt. "So, Rue is okay?" Anna asked Mikey. "Yes, I was able to remove the crystal without any issues and he has return to his former self." Anna sighs. "That is good. May I ask where Oichi is?" "Resting. She is having issues of her own right now." Vernon sat up. "She said that she was going to help us get rid of this curse." "And she will but in her condition, she can't even walk right now. So, you will have to wait." Vernon sighs and grabbed his shirt. "Very well…so what are we doing again dear?"

Anna pouted. "We are going over to River's and Terry's. You and Rue will apologize for what you did, and we will be a happy family! That's all I want…" Vernon frowned. "They will hate us." Anna turned to him. "They will not. Well…maybe little Xena. She may fear Rue but that's not the point. You should get to know your grandson and your great grandchildren! They are sweet, adorable, and soft! You will love them, and River is so adorable!" Vernon sighs. "They will hate me…I'm not…the grandfather type…" He says sadly. Anna walked over to him. "Oh my love…the twins will understand that everything did up until now was not your fault. They showed me love and kindness when they first met me, and they introduced me to so many things. Little Xena maybe must get use to Rue but her and Jareth really are the cutest and then just think. When River's little twin boys are here, we get to finally witness the birth of them to a degree. Isn't that exciting!?" Vernon sighs. "I suppose…" Anna smiles and turns back to Mikey. "When do we leave?" "Once I get Rue, you will be sent to their house. Your time limit is four hours."

It was 3pm school has ended and students are heading home, to their dorms or to after school clubs. Valora kisses Aaron goodbye, Esme kisses Luke goodbye "See you tomorrow" the girls both said. The boys chuckles "yeah see you tomorrow" the boys said. The girls giggled and dashed off to head home.

Luna stepping out of her room wearing a simple yoga bra and leggings with athletic running shoes, her hear was up in a ponytail and the color lime green has she has dyed it the other day. She stretches slightly and she put her wireless earphones in and went off to do some running.

As she jogged, she went down a different path then her usual one. It led into the forest and then came around to the park. Jogging she noticed something was off and stopped. Looking around she went off the path trail and walked into the forest. Hearing birds chirping she looked around a tree and spotted a young man with short black hair laying on the ground unconscious. Luna gasped and rushed over to him, knelling down she blinked at him "hey you alright?" the more she looked at him he was very good looking. No response, she didn't know what ot do, call Rex or take him herself or just sit with him until he woke up. Luna sighs softly and gently put his head on her lap "I'll just wake until he wakes up" she takes out her headphones and relaxed listening to the birds and gently petting him.

At Terry and River's, it didn't take to long for the girls to get home. With them and Jareth now home, they were all sitting in the living room as Terry had something to tell them. "Girls…grandmother is on her way over here to speak with the family." Valora and Esme gasps and smiles "Really?!"

"She is also coming with grandfather and uncle…they are coming over to apologize. I don't want you two treating uncle Rue as an enemy. After all he was mainly influence by dark magic. With the crystal out of chest he is back to himself and if they are coming to apologize it means they have good sense right so please be on your best behavior when they get here." Xena pouted "MEANIE! No him come!" River's eyes widen "meanie? Who?" Xena pouted more with a angry look and with her ducky plushie and tossed to the ground in anger "Ru!" the girls where giggling at her, then River gasped "TERRY! Up quickly I have to pee!" Terry sighs. "Girls be on the lookout for your grandmother." He picks River carefully and rushes her to the bathroom.

Back in the forest, Luna still had the mystery man laying on her lap. She was getting more worried and decided it was best to call Rex. Right as she tapped her bracelet, the man's eyes opened and he sat up. She gasps at the sudden movement. "Tisk…where am I…" The man says. "…Xacron…" The man turned to Luna and frowned. "Who are you…" Luna flushed "Luna"

The man looked away from her and looked down at his hands. 'Ah…that is right…I'm human now…I can't even tell if she's one or not.' He grips his hands and sighs. 'What's worse I'm in Xacron…why did he send me here of all places…' He turned to Luna. "You…uh…Luna…what is your relationship to the wolf queen." Luna blinked at him "Uhm she's my auntie.. not by blood but she's an aunt to me and my twin brother"

"I see…" He thinks to himself. 'She may figure me out if I dig too deep…' He sighs and looks at Luna. "My name is…it's…Al…I'm a human…point me in the direction to where I can obtain citizenship within Xacron." "Oh…um…well you can follow me to the hospital, Julian the head doctor there will have to give you a full physical before you can get a beaded bracelet." "A what?" She held up hers. "You can get it in your favorite color, and it gives you access to Xacron as a citizen. You will have access to Rex and you will be able to teleport to places but only if he has seen it before." Al crossed his arms. "I see…then…led me to the hospital now." Luna chuckles a him with a flush "alright" she smiles "Rex"

Rex appeared from her calling making Al back up. "Don't be scared. This is Rex." Rex bows. "Hello. What can I do for you?" He looked at Al. "An intruder has entered the grounds of Xacron." Al frowned backing up more. 'Shit…does he know!?' Luna stood in front of him. "No! He is um…my guest! I would like to request him to be examine and given citizenship." Rex tilts his head. "Only Queen Oichi has the authority to allow citizenship. With her condition it is now left to Mikey…" He looked at Al. "Very well…I will teleport you to the hospital. From there you will be detain until you can gain citizenship for Xacron. Once you gain that you are free to roam through the city as much as you want. Commencing teleporting to hospital." Al sighs and looks at Luna. "I…thank you…for your assistance." Luna smiles taking his hand "Don't worry, I hope we see each other soon, uhm… Rex can give you my contact number" she blushes. Al sips his hand away from her. "I see…who knows if we will ever see each other again…" Rex eyes flashed. "Transporting to hospital." He says as Al disappeared from Luna's sight. Rex bows once more before disappearing once more leaving Luna in the forest alone.

Valora and Esme rushed to their Great grandmother "Grandma!" They yelled hugging her. River sitting back down chuckled "Hello Anna, it's good to see you" Jareth screamed "Nanna Anna! Hello!" Anna smiles hugging the girls back. She felt so happy to see them again. "Hello to you to Jareth darling." She smiled sweetly at him making him giggle. Terry was sitting down with Xena on his lip. The twins backed away from Anna. "I came here today to formally introduce my husband and son…as they also have something they wish to say."

The door opened and Vernon and Rue walked in. Vernon looked at the family and turned his head slightly. "…I…apologize for any issues I have caused…" He says softly with nervousness in his voice. Rue sighs. "I also apologize mostly to you nephew and your daughter. I never meant to cause to much harm and once I gave into my anger that witch used me to attack you further. All I wanted was for my mother to come back as we are all that is left our clan…" Terry smiles. "It's no problem uncle. I forgive you." He rubs his own chest. "Dad and my self have already experience what it was like to be control by that dark witch. I just hope you both can adjust here like grandma did." Then suddenly felt something and turned to Xena was narrowing at Rue, her eyes turned into blue dragon eyes and pointed her finger at him "OUT! You meanie! You hurt daddy and me! OUT!" she shouted has a small dragon roar came from her shaking the house. River's eyes widen "Xena!" Valora and Esme was gasped at her.

Rue simply chuckled at her. "Cute...but it is fine. It is good to see me as an enemy…mother…I will remain outside…" He takes his leave. Anna frowns. "Rue wait…" "I did in fact hurt her and her father. I'll remain outside for the time being. As I do not wish to upset her." Rue says walking out. Anna looked down sadly. Vernon rubbed her back.

Terry frowned and sigh. "Xena…" Xena's eyes turned back to normal and looked up at him with a frown. "He meanie daddy! He GO!" "He came to apologize to you sweetie. He didn't want to hurt you or me…and now your nana is sad…Sometimes…even meanies like uncle Rue deserve a second chance." They looked to see Anna staring at the door. Xena frowned "but he mean…" River sighs "in time I think she will understand"

Vernon frowned. "Maybe it was too soon for this…the wounds are still fresh and it is fine that you do not accept us as family…" "Vernon…" Anna says. He kissed her forehead. "Maybe another time dear…for now it might not be the best for me and Rue to be here." He turns to leave as well. Anna tears slightly. She really wanted Vernon and Rue to be accepted into the family but she knew it might have been awhile. Xena's eyes widen at Anna. She got up and walked over to her and padded her leg.

Anna blinked down at her, Xena started to tear "Nanna me sorry… me protect, me make better!" Valora and Esme giggled at her "aww she wants to protect to you too nanna Anna"

Anna rubbed a tear out of her eye and smiled. She picked Xena up and hugged her. "Thank you my little one. That makes me very happy." Xena smiled and huffed "Ok… meanie can.. come back…" the girls giggled at her "awwww!" River chuckles "see she understand"

At the museum, Joseph was walking around when someone bumped into. He frowned. "Excuse me…" He held his belly. The person he walked into was a tall man with short black hair with a fade. "Sorry about that." The man says. "…its okay." "My name is Balthus. You must be Prince Joseph." "Joseph is just fine. I'm sorry but I have work to do. Enjoy your time here." He walked around Balthus until his arm was grabbed tightly. "I heard a rumor about you Joseph…not only that your only tied with our little wolf queen but your tied with the reaper as well." Joseph turned to Balthus with narrowed eyes. "Unhanded me now."

"Your father is indeed the Grim Reaper right. Tell me is he here now." "Whatever business you have with my father is with you. Not me. Balthus grips his arm tighter. "Your father…where is he?" "I don't know. He appears when he wants to." Balthus frowned but before he could say anything else, his hand was smacked away by Nate who suddenly appeared. "Hands off buddy." Balthus backed off and quickly walked of. "We will meet again…" He mumbles. Nate sighs. "As popular as ever I see. Dustin does a poor job as always…" "Ha…What are you doing here?" Nate grins brightly and held up an ultrasound. "To give you this! Michi and I went to the doctor today!" Joseph smiles taking it. "It's hard to see the gender right now but Julian said we will be able to tell by the next month!" "I see your happy to be a first-time dad. How is Michi holding up?" "Ah, she's home sleeping. It's like super deep. I got worried when I couldn't wake her." Joseph chuckled. "Yeah that will happen a lot." Nate rubbed his head. "There is something else I wanted to speak to you about. You have a moment?" Joseph nods. "Yeah, lets go back to my office."

Back at Terry and Rivers. Rue was outside laying on the grass with his eyes closed. Vernon walked up to him. "Rue…" "I'm fine father…it is what it is. Mother expects to much. She's been around them more then we have." "Do you not want to give it a chance…" "Maybe…I've always been jealous of Terrance…he got to live his life because our sister sacrificed herself for him. He got a mate and a kid and grandkids. I never had a chance like that. You must think I'm pitiful." Vernon chuckled. "I think you still have room to grow. For your mother and your brother…let's try to be a family once more." Rue sighs. "Fine…but the child is scared of me. I'll stay out here for a bit." Vernon chuckle. "She is very cute. I can feel the warrior spirit in her. You and her a lot alike since you were just as cute when you were her age." Rue turned slightly red. "Ugh…I don't want to hear that from you…" the door cracked open and Anna came out with Xena in her arms "Rue, Xena has something to stay"

Rue sits up with a slight sigh. Xena huffed and crossed her arms "you… can come back…"

He raised his eyebrow. "Ok…" "BUT!" she shouted making him jump, she narrowed at him and put her two fingers two her eyes then pointed at him "Me watching you..!" Rue gave her a dull look before he suddenly started laughing. Vernon and Anna looked surprised by this. "Rue?" Anna asked. Rue breathes out softly. "I am fine mother…she reminds me a lot of my older sister…that is all." Vernon places a hand on his shoulder. "Since the little warrior has allowed you to come back, let us fully introduce ourselves to the family." Vernon smiles at Xena. "Thank you little Xena." Xena huffed "mhmm!"

Zach had return home for a moment but was gonna head and meet with Seth to head to the bar where some Vermont members where. He walked through the house and reached his office. He opened it and stepped in. walking over to a locked glass cabinet, he put his finger on the finger scanner and it opened. Zach smirked and opened to see his fathers a European-style sword with a distinctive curved cross guard. HE was about to reach and take it when he heard a knock, he turned and see's Dawn/ he blinks and smiles at her "love" Dawn smiled at him and stepped in "Zach we need to talk…" Zach blinked at her but closed the cabinet and stepped over to her "What is it love?"

Dawn sighs softly handing him a folder "Here" Zach blinked at it and took it, opening it his eyes widen and looked at her "you want to leave me…?" Dawn frowns "Zach.. I love you, I do deeply but… I feel like I'm not true one for you… I feel distant because of it…" Dawn starts to tear "Zach I'm unhappy…" Zach bites his lip "How can I fix this…?" Dawn shook her head "You can't fix it Zach, please you know I'm right on this that I'm not really truly for you…." Zach closes the folder and puts it on his desk. Reaching out he held her face gently "Dawn… I love you.. please don't leave me…" Dawn reached up and touching his hands "Zach please think for a moment" Zach closes his eyes, he did love her with everything but he can feel her unhappiness. Breathing softly he opened his eyes and kisses her forehead. Moving away from her he stepped back to folder opening it "you sure?" he asked her. Dawn nodded "I already signed it… with your approval it will be final…" Zach took a pen and he hand Shaked. Dawn can tell he was scared of signing it, Zach took a breath and wrote his name down, frowning 'we're divorced know… I have to send this to Dracula…' Dawn stepped to him "I'm sorry Zach…" Zach looks at her and patted her head "I know I understand.. no reason to apologize Dawn… where will you go? Wait what of Roxas…?" Dawn smiled at him "Me and him are moving into the Mikcloud manor, you can always see him Zach I wont keep your son from you" Zach smiles softly at her, she lends up and kisses his cheek "when you get back from whatever your gonna go, I wont be here" she says walking off.

Zach frowns "Rex" rex appeared "Yes King Zach?" Zach sighs softly "please make copies of these and send them to Lord Dracula, King Seth, Queen Jess and Queen Oichi has prove of my divorcement with Dawn… she is no longer the queen of vampires" Rex eyes scanned the document. "Understood. It shall be done." Rex says disappearing.

Zach sighs walking back over to the cabinet and reopened it taking out his father's sword. Removing it from the sheath the blade was red, made from a rare vampiric red metal that hasn't been made for decades. Zach sighs softly and reached out grabbing the sword holster, he put it on and connected his sword to it. Closing the cabinet he left to meet up with Seth.

At Phoenix's, hideout. Valeriea was sitting in her room reading when her crystal ball started to glow. She picked it up and saw a shadow figure. Valeriea chuckled. "My, It has been some time since you have called me. I assume you had abandoned me as everyone else did." "Of course not Lady Valeriea. I have been very busy and now that I have found time I have a complete report that you can use to your advantage." Valeriea sits back. "Very well. Tell me all that you have learned."

Jess in her office at home that was connected to the magic council, Michael walked in "Jess there's a message from the council…. Victoria says they have detected some rebellion" Jess frowns looking up form her work "I see where at?" "They don't know for some reason it wont show" he says. Jess sighs "I see have Victoria document everyone she finds" he nodded and left. Rex appeared making her jump "Shesh Rex!" he bowed "Forgive me Queen Jess but I have documents from Zach he asked me to send to you" Jess blinks has documents appeared on her desk and he left. Jess sighs and opens the folder and started to read it only to gasp out loudly making Cien walk in "Everything alright?" Jess bites her lip "my mom and Zach divorced…" Cien's eyes widen at her "really…?" Jess nodded "RICK! CHIDA!" she shouted making them appear quickly in the room "What's wrong?" they both said "Look at this" she said, they stepped over and they both looked at it. Their eyes widen "what the hell?" Rick says softly. Chida frowns "why did they divorce…?"

Jess stood up "I'm going to see my mother, Cien come with me please" Cien nodded. Rick and Chida watched her leave with Cien, Rick sighs "father divorced Dawn…? I don't understand…" Chida takes out his phone "Lets call father and ask himself" he said dialing his fathers number only to get a voice message. He frowns and hanged up, Rick looked at him "what?" "I think he has his phone off, Rex" Rex appeared "Yes Prince Rick and Prince Chida?" "can you call father?" Chida asked him. He nodded, they watched but then Rex sighed "Apologies but King Zach says he can not talk due to a mission with King Seth. He said to wait until he comes back" he bows and disappears. Rick and Chida groans at this "I guess we have to wait"
At Oichi's manor, Ronnie was sitting beside Oichi who was wake. She was in tears learning about what she did. "I'm such a terrible person! What have I done! She cried. Ronnie rubbed her back. "It wasn't you Oichi Terrance and Bracken will be okay and they do not blame you at all." Oichi her eyes. Rex appeared beside her and frowned. "I am sorry for coming at such a terrible timing…but I bring a document from King Zach." A folder appeared on Oichi's lap. Ronnie grabbed as Rex left. He opened it and sighs. "Looks like Dawn and Zach have divorced." Oichi eyes widen. "What? Why?" Ronnie closed it. "It might be for the best…sometimes it happens." Oichi frowned. "Poor auntie…what's going to happen now?" Ronnie rubs her head. "Life will move on. Now lay down. You need your rest." Oichi gets under her blanket. "Are you going to check up on them?" "No, I'm sure they need their space to fully process what is next for them…sleep." Oichi pouted softly at him but within seconds she went back to sleep. Deliora peeked in "Ronnie" Ronnie looked up "I just talked to Dawn…" Ronnie looked down at Oichi then got up and walked over to Deliora. Stepping out of the room, he closed the door slightly "what happen?" he asked softly.

Deliora sighs softly "it seems Dawn wasn't happy… so she asked Zach for a divorce… he agreed to it… I hope they are both okay… I can't get ahold of Zach.. he's on a mission with Seth" "Well that's stupid." Ronnie says rubbing his head. "Going into a mission after receiving news like that is just a windfall of bad luck and mistakes.

At an Old Gazebo, Seth stood there waiting for Zach. Rex had showed him virtual documents on Zach's divorce with Dawn. Sensing Zach walking up he turned to see Zach walking in the old gazebo "Sorry it took me awhile…" he chuckles "so lets head out to bar shell we? I'm itching to cut off some heads"

Seth sighs. "Maybe you should go home…I don't need you to be emotional while we are on this mission…" Zach frowned "what? No, Dracula ordered me to come with you so I will"

Sighing once more, Seth started walking. "Father has given me the directions to a bar where the Vermont family is known to gather. He is off to take down an underground facility that the family has. It links them to the black market. Hopefully he can learn where Sakamoto's painting was taken." He glanced at Zach. "Do not slow me down." Zach shook his head "I wont slow you down Seth"

"Rex, take us to the location I gave you." "Understood. Stand by." Seth rubbed his wrist. "I'm sorry that things did not work out for you and Dawn. Don't be like me and wait decades to find a mate. You'll find happiness once more one day." Zach sighs "I know, enough talking about it"

"Teleport ready. Would you like reinforcements?" "No, they will get in my way. How many enemies." "Inside the bar, at least 25, but there is an underground room that houses more people. Currently in total there is at least over 150." "That's a low number but ill take it…maybe one of those rats will spill other locations." Rex nods. "Ready?" Seth nods. Zach nods "Ready"

Within seconds they were teleported in front a worn bar that looked worse for wear. "This is a bar?" Zach says. "Times are low…what more can they do but end up in a place like this." He walked up to the door and in a swift moment he kicked the door opened. Hearing gasp and chairs screeching. "Hello peasant of the Vermont family…" Two of his demon dogs grew from his body. "I am King Seth Ruska and as per order of the Emperor Dracula you will all die here." He says pulling out his rapier. Zach unsheathed his fathers sword "So who is first in getting their head cut off?" his eyes started to glow.

As the vampires charged several of them were quickly cut down quickly. With Seth's fast strikes not even the blood could stain his sword in motion. His demon dogs launched forward tearing the other apart, absorbing their bodies along the way. "I'm heading underground. I take it, that you can settle the rest up here." Zach nodded cutting heads off with his father's sword.

Seth walked to a door that was been blocked by a large man. "I ain't letting you through!" He went to throw a punch but was sliced in half. Seth kept walking as the body fell in two separate ways. He pushed the door opened and head downstairs to finish the rest of them off.

Heads fell to the ground, Zach grinned darkly at the last one left in the room upstairs. Zach swirled his sword, the Vermont male family member shook but went for the door but didn't get far has he stopped and fell to his knees and screaming in pain from Zach's vampire powers making his blood boil. His body began to bubble up and then exploded everywhere. Zach breathes softly steps over to where Seth went. "Rex is there anyone else alive up here?" "No all signs show their all dead" Res says. Zach nodded and headed downstairs to help Seth

Walking downstairs he saw body after body but no sigh of Seth. He walked by a door and it suddenly opened and more vampires poured out. "Kill him! Attack now!" They yelled as another door opened. "He can't attack us all at once!" They screamed charging at Zach. Zach grinned lifting his sword "Oh you think so?" has they all charged at him in like a circle. Grinning his eyes shined more has epicenter of a miniature blood-hurricane that expands to the size of the available space Zach occupies, killing and disintegrating some of them. The blood storm moved smaller and back into Zach's skin and body "well then anymore?" he grinned

"It looks like there is only one more person left…" Rex chimes out. "He is with King Seth in the last room all the way down the hall." Zach nods and kept walking. He saw the piles of bodies that Seth had taken care off. Making it to the last room he walked in to see a man being pin down do the ground by a demon dog from Seth. He was standing in the middle of the room and anger was pouring out of him. Zach walked in more and stopped. Inside the room were pictures of all of Oichi and her children, not including Jasper and Emma. Alisha and Kaleb's and the quads pictures were circle while Naomi, Jayden's and Aydens were crossed out. There were holes in Oichi's phone showing that someone had been stabbing the picture constantly. Not only that there were pictures of where the kids hung out, a few of their tree houses, pictures of Oichi in her home, a few explicit one of her and the twins, and lots more. "What the hell is this?" Zach asked in shock.

"…from what I am reading and from what this maggot has told me…they are making plans to kidnapped them all. Get rid of the ones with X's on their faces and keep those who can be used as possible breeding tools…As for Oichi…well I'm sure you can assume what plans they want with her at this point…" Seth's was squeezing his fist so hard that he had caused his own hand to bleed. The man that was caught was shaking. "This man here, is one of the few that gathered all this information including taking these explicit ones of my girls…how low will you people go…"

"P-Please spare me! I beg you! I'm only a Vermont by marriage! I only did as they asked! I never wanted any part of this I swear to you! Please don't kill me! Don't kill me!" He cried. As he did a wet spot started to form in his pants along with a puddle of urine. Zach steps over to the board "Rex scan and make copies of this, send it to Dracula and Ronnie only" he said. Rex appeared and nodded start scanning the wall. Zach stepped over "his not by blood Seth, we can take him in and have Dracula make him talk more" Seth bit his lip. Rex appeared and started to scan the whole room. "Tisk…Rex when your done send that worm to a prison. I don't want to look at his face. Is there anything else here." He asked the man. The man shaking shook his head. "N-No…this was only a bar for them to come and sleep and share information…" "Then I'm burning it down with all of this crap inside…and I'll go join my father. Enough is Enough." Rex eyes blinked. "Copied, recorded, sent…Alert…multiple energy signatures approaching…" Seth growls out and heads upstairs. Zach followed Seth up the stairs Zach frowns looking at him 'Seth…'

Storming through the bar, Seth walked outside to see multiple vampires walking up. Zach walked out with a frown. "You think you two can stop us! The two of you will never be able to stop us!" A man walked and smiled. "You two and that lazy Emperor. You three think you will be able to do anything about us!? You think a curse will stop us from getting what we what? Those two old fossils should have stayed sleep and kept to their own business." He smirked. "That wolf queen and her bastard children will be ours and you two will be powerless to do anything about it. While you two were off tainting your bloodlines or rather…" He looked at Zach with a look of disgust. "Practicing that disgusting habit of in family relations…we have been here growing numbers every day. Waiting for the moment to destroy the royal family. So come on! Kill us all here! More will take our places and eventually not even you two will be able to do anything at all." Seth eyes darken, slipping back into his old self when he was at war. A side he hated and hide in fear of slipping back into the darkness he was once in. It has been some years since he felt this angry. He tightens his hold on his rapier as his vampire aura flowed out. "Very well…challenge accept…I will stain this ground with your blood…" Zach's body shivered 'oh my god…. I haven't seen him like this centuries….' Grinning he looked at the men "well Seth I'll leave them to you"

Jess at the Mikcloud manor in her mothers room, Roxas was in the playroom with Celestia. "Mom you sure about this?" Dawn nodded putting her stuff away "Yeah, I'll be fine hun…. It's Meyers nature to have inner family relations Jess.. Amy and Cloud have a child together and is married…. You are in a three way relation ship with Rick and Chida who do have… you know together?" Jess flushed and nodded "Yeah which I don't care about because it happens…" Jess breathes "So what you gonna do know? You still gonna run the real estate?" Mikcloud nodded "yeah" Violet peeked in "Oh Jess hello" Jess smiled "Auntie hello" "I have some members that signed up to the be the head of the family" Jess frowned "Don't need it" she looked at her mother "Mom, you will be the head of Mikcloud household" Dawn's eyes widen "What…!?"

Jess smiled "you where Uncle's sister so it's only right for you to run this family, I'm making Violet the major of Ravenswood and she has agreed" Violet nodded with a smile "do it Dawn, we know you can do it" Dawn smiled "Jess…" she stepped over hugging her "you're the best daughter ever" Jess giggled a hugging her mother back.

A few days later, Valeriea had left Phoenix hideout and was back in Switzerland alone. She was deep in a beautiful, lush forest. She was wearing a simple black dress that covered her 4-month belly. She stopped near a large tree and waited. Soon a poral opened and Marik walked out with a smile. His eyes went to her belly. Walking over to her he placed a hand on it and rubbed it gently. "Gender?" "A girl…" She says. "I see…" "Have you made your treaty yet?" "Yes, I have." "Good. Then this will be goodbye. Once she is born you are free to have her." Marik frowned. "Val…do you not wish for love?" "I did…at some point…I tried once but…" Marik reached out and cups her cheeks. "Oh my beloved black rose…you promise that you would become my wife. A new life waits for you by my side. For us and our child. Don't do this…" Valeriea chuckled and grabbed his hands. "You will do as I say Marik…if you love me so much then make sure our daughter is well taken care off. Now go home. I have work to do." Marik sighs and kisses her one last time. "No one will be able to replace the love I have for you. We will meet once more one day." He backed away.

Valeriea turned her back and walked through the forest disappearing. Marik sighs and puts his hands in his pocket. "Maybe I should have just forced her to come…" A portal opened up behind him and he walked thought.

In the forest, Valeriea stopped in front of a large flat land. She took a deep breath and held out a hand. She started to chant. Her hair glowed and started to flow. The earth started to shake slightly as the scenery started to change. The skies grew dark as large trees started to lift into the air and float over to her. Under the tree roots were large dark purple crystals. Valeriea held up the crystal that had her daughters stolen magic in it. She broke it and the magic flowed into the trees making the crystals glow. She sighs of softly as sweat roll down her cheek. Using her magic, she kept the trees steady in a permeant potion. When she was done, she wobbles over to regular tree and slides down breathing heavy. She held her stomach. "Just a little more…"

He says chuckling. "Where is gramps and uncle?" Terrance pointed up. "On the roof. They will be in later." They all walked in and saw Xena. Nia smiled. "Aw how cute. Happy birthday sweetheart." Anna giggled and looked around the room. "A birthday party. How cute. Happy birthday Xena dear." "Happy birthday!" Jaliyah says waving. "I get down now nana?" Anna pouted slightly but nods. She liked holding the babies. Terrance chuckled at her. "You really out did the theme here. Nice work."

Xena giggled out "Yay! People show up!" River chuckles sitting down rubbing her tummy making her frown. Terry looked at her "You alright?" River nodded "Yeah the boys are just moving around" Xena screamed running around playing with Jaliyah. Terry went over to River. "Do you need me to get you anything?" River blinked "Oh uhm… some ice cream…."

"Don't worry He about moving around too much, If you need anything just ask." Terrance says with a chuckle. He blinks and heads to the door. "Honey?" Nia asked. Terrance opened the door to see Ty and Marie walking up. Rhea was looking up on the roof. "Look mama! Look!" She yelled. Marie chuckled. "I see them honey. Hey you guys know that there are two guys on the roof?" "Yeah, its my father and brother. They will be in shortly." They walked in. "Uncle!" Rhea says smiling. "Hey Rhea."

She placed a hand on her belly and smiled brightly. Nia giggled and hugged her. "Aw! Congrats honey! I told you it will happen. I wish for many more grandchildren. Heehee." Terry nudged Ty making him blushed slightly. "Trying to catch up with me and River?" "Oh shut up…" Anna smiled. 'I wonder if I will ever get to experience being a mother.' River laughed "Hahaha!"

Xena and the girls where playing and running around. Jareth snucked out of the door and looked up on the roof. He pouted and ran around the porch to see a ladder. He blinked and nodded, stepping over he carefully took it and started slowly climb up it. On the roof, Rue and Vernon were having a deep conversation.

Jareth half way stopped he was starting to get scared. With a red pout face, he started to tear "Daddy!" he screamed. River's eyes widen "Jareth?!" "Daddy!" they hear Jareth scream from outside. Xena gasped "Brother trouble!" she ran outside making the adults gasp following her. On the roof Rue and Vernon looked down they gasped Jareth scared holding on the ladder tightly. "You can't be serious…" Rue says with a sigh.

Xena running around the porch she looked up to see Jareth, she gasped "brother no move!" "Should we grab him…" Rue says sitting down. "No, I'm interested to see what develops with the child." Vernon says.

Jareth lost his grip and fell, Terry was about to jump up in catch him when an dragon aura claw moved fast past him catching Jareth. River's eyes widen "What… is this…?" she was looking Xena "Is this the power you spoke of Terry?" "Yeah…" He walked over and picked up Jareth with a frown. "How many times do I have to tell you about doing things like that? That was very dangerous, and you could have gotten hurt." Jareth teared "I'm sorry…" Xena stepped over "Brother okay?" Jareth sniffed "thank you!" Xena giggled did a victory pose "Me warrior princess!" Valora and Esme giggled at her. River smiles well lets all head back inside. Xena looked up at Vernon and Rue and she pointed at them "You! Come!" she shouted and ran off, Rhea and Jaliyah followed after. River laughed "Well better listen to the birthday girl you two!" she says and wobbles away.

Anna walked outside and looked up at them. "How long will you two be?" "In a moment. We are almost done." Vernon smiles. "We will be in shortly." She nods and walks back in with everyone. Rue sighs. "A bossy one she is." Vernon chuckled as they went back to their conversation.

At Jess's she was wrapping up a present for Xena, Aerith comes walking in "Mom?" Jess looked up at her "what you doing here?" Aerith smiles "I came to say that I don't want a birthday party this year…?" Jess blinked "you don't huh? Just wanna spend it with Jayden?" Jess giggled at her making Aerith blush "yes…" Jess chuckles "Of course sweetie" Aerith smiled brightly "thanks mom, well I'm gonna head back bye!" she ran off.

Jess chuckles, Rick steps in "So no birthday party?" Jess nodded "Yup" Rick sighs "Something is wrong with Chida…" Jess looked at him "Like what?" "I don't know.. he's not sleeping with us anymore… he's been distant…. Do you think he wants to leave us…?" Rick looked worried and sadden. Jess got up and walked over to him "Listen Rick, if your brother wants to leave then we should let him…. He's a grown adult you know" Rick pouted "But he's ours…" Jess shook her head "Rick he's no ones.. he may be married to us but… he's not ours.. he's not bonded magically to us only by marriage… do you understand?" Rick nodded with a pout "You going to Terry's?" Jess shook her head "No uhm Kaname is stopping by to take this" she said has she turned to see Kaname and Renia. Jess smiled "about time" they bowed "Forgive us we were just getting back in trying to find Haru…" Jess frowned "Did you find him…?" Kaname bites his lip… "We believe the chimaera clan killed him…" Rick's eyes widen "Chimaera Clan….? Aren't they a myth….?"

Kaname shook his head "No, Lord Oni is a very powerful ancient black dragon who was the old black dragon king… his clan is what left of the black dragons… his very dangerous… one of Errier's spies said Oni had killed him personally.." Jess frowns and steps over to him "do not tell River this… understand?" Renia frowns "But she needs to know.." "She is pregnant and do not need this bad news…" Renia frowned and nodded, Kaname nodded also "I understand"

At the hospital, Oichi was sitting with Bracken. He was sitting up and had bandages covered his stomach and chest. "How…are you feeling?" "I am good Lady Oichi." Oichi looked down. "I…I apologize for harming you. If you wish not to serve under me I…" "No, I still wish to serve you." "But…" "That was not you who attacked me. You were upset about the prince's painting stolen. Everyone knows how deeply you care for that item. I apologize that I allowed it to get stolen. As head of your security, I need to do a better job. Once I recover, I swear I'll get it back."

Oichi smiles softly. "Bracken…you are amazing…I thought after your mother left you would follow her. I am glad you stayed." Bracken nods. "Mother wanted to find her own path. I wanted to stay and follow you. I would like to keep doing that. Sakamoto would haunt me if I just left you be." Oichi chuckled. "Please take it easy." She got up right when the door opened. Lacey walked in. "Lady Oichi!" She bows. "Hello! I see you are Bracken's nurse for the day. Please don't let him move around to much." Lacey blushed and nods. "Yes, ma'am." Oichi left the room and closed the door behind her. Outside the door, she rubbed the back of her neck. "Rex…take me to Saki's grave…" "Understood." Rex says teleporting away.

At River's and Terry's, couple of hours went by. They ate, had cake and now present time. Form River and Terry Xena got so many new clothes and a new white and light pink toddler bike making Xena scream with excitement. Kaname and Kenia got her a giant toothless plush, and from Jess she got a cute doted rainbow blanket.

From Terrance and Nia, she got dragon castle glittering snow globe. Chaz had made it for him on his request. From Maire and Ty blankets and pillows, with a few smell goes for her baths. From Oichi, who sent her gifts through Rex later that day. She sent a lot of handmade stuff animals and toys. Anna looked nervous as she held a small white box. Vernon and Rue sighs. "Mother, if you are going to give it to her now would be nice…" Terrance chuckled at her nervousness. "Xena. Your nana has something special she wants to give you." Xena who was playing in the pile of stuff animals Oichi made pops her head up. She giggles and runs over to Anna.

"Um…you may be a little young to hear this but…your nana's clan was once known for creating crystal from our scales. It gives a boost in healing with a purify light, able to null the affects of black magic…" She opened the box and lifted a clear white crystal necklace. "I have only made this once for my oldest daughter Jasmine…and now little Xena you are the second to wear this." She put around Xena's neck. Xena's eyes widen "pretty…" River giggled taking Terry's hand tear happily "aww…!" Vernon and Terrance chuckled.

Xena smiled brightly "Thank you nana!" she jumped on her hugging her "Me wear! prudey" Terry laughed "Proudly, she's trying to say" Anna hugged her tightly. "I wish you could have met your auntie Jasmine. She would have loved such a sweet girl like you. Happy birthday honey."

Days went by and it was the day before Halloween, River was doing touch ups on Xena's warrior 'xena' outfit for Halloween. Outside, Kaname and Renia was in there with Terry and Terrance, Anna, Rue and Vernon. "Do any of you remember the Chimera clan?" Vernon's eyes widen "Oni is still around….?" Kaname nodded and frowned "we got news from Errier, she was helping us trying to find Haru…. Lord Oni captured him…" "That's not fortunate…" Rue says frowning.

Inside, River got up smiled "Done" she stepped over to the door for fresh air when she heard her mothers voice Renia sniffed "Lord Oni… killed him… the spy from Errier saw it… Oni ripped out Haru's heart… and eat it…" she started to tear. River's eyes widen dropping Xena's outfit. Her body shook 'brother… dead…?' her eyes widen more then felt a pain in her stomach making her gasp out loudly falling to the ground. Outside Terry hearing River's gasp and then a thump made him run inside to see River on the floor on stomach and some blood coming from in between her legs. They others rushed inside, Kaname and Renia gasped "River!" they rushed to her.

Terry frowned picking her up. "Rex!" "Ready for Transport. Julian has already been informed and is waiting." Rex chimes out, taking them to the hospital quickly.

River in terry's arms started groaning in pain has blood was coming more and more "Shit! Julian!" Julian and Aurora rushed out with a bed. Terry placed River on it, Aurora rolled her away Terry what about to join but Julian stopped him "she's bleeding out Terry you know you can not go back there" he said and walked off Terry growled hitting the wall.

Kaname and Renia looked super worried "Did she hear us talking…? Wait the kids! we left Xena and Jareth alone!" Renia's eyes widen and look at Terrance "can you get the girls from school and Xena and Jareth?" "Mother and father with Rue are still at the house with them. I'll go get the twins." Terrance says rushing off.

Zach somewhere in Maine, getting out of a cave covered in blood and his father's sword in his hand. "There you are" Zach looked up to see Seth "Seth" he walked over sheathing his sword "Dracula has been trying to contact you and you've been radio silent…" Seth watched him has Zach stopped in front of him "sorry about that, found a Vermont hole and came here to destroy it…. I was too late to save the slaves here… they knew I was coming… even slit the little's girls throat in front of me…. I lost it…" "I told you that you can't go running in like that…the Vermont's are scum but they have connections…" Seth says with a sigh.

Zach reached out touching Seth's cheek "I'm jealous you know of Terra… if wasn't for my father saying no when I asked for a arrange marriage between us I would have had you already…." Seth's eyes widen at him. Zach pulling his hand away "still someone I love I can't be with… I guess I'm destined to be alone for all eternity…." Zach says walking away "I guess I'll head back…" Seth sighs shaking his head. "Hayate. Rune." His sons dropped down behind him. "Yes father?" "Go clean up Zach's mess. I'm moving on to join father." Hayate stood up. "Father shouldn't you go check on him?" Seth turned and walked past them. "No. There is no advice someone like me can give him. I only hope that he doesn't fall into the state I was in before I met Terra." They watched him leave. Rune sighs rubbing his head. "This is stupid…He always sacrifice his happiness and now when he has the chance to do it, he doesn't take it." Hayate sighs as well. "It can't be helped. He is married now. I don't think he'd leave Terra so easily, even for Zach. Let us go we have to move on to next clean up location after this one."

At the hospital, Jess rushed in to see everyone waiting. Terry was standing there staring in the back. Jess frowned walked over to him "Terry?" Terry didn't look at her "what if she doesn't make it…?" Jess took his hand "River will make it, you know she will" the light turned off has the back door opened and Aurora pushed out a twin hospital bassinet. Terry's eyes widen has Aurora smiled "Terry here are you two health baby boys" Terry smiled stepping over looking down, they were so cute and soft looking. He can see both had their eyes closed and with slight blue hair. "River named them before she passed out… Terran and Aimon" Jess smiled stepping over "cute names" Kaname and Renia rushed over and gasps softly "Awww they look so soft…" "And River…how is she?" Terry asked, Aurora smiled "she's fine but… we had to remove her uterus has it was to torn… it seems the boys really kicked her causing her to into per labor… the kicks torn her uterus so we had to give her a c-section… I'm sorry Terry but she can never have kids anymore…" Jess's eyes widen looking at Terry "Terry…"

"I understand…we have six beautiful children together now. Even having the twins were a miracle. I just don't know how River will take the news…" He says with a sigh. Aurora sighs softly, rex appeared "Sorry but doctor aurora your father is requesting you meet him in his office" Aurora blinked "Oh uhm alright, here Terry. Your wife is room 567 one of the good maternity rooms" she says walking off. Jess smiles looking down at the twins and giggles softly "Terry their opening their eyes" Terry looked down and smiled to see River's eyes on them.

He smiles softly at them and started taking pictures of them. "You grandma is tied up with something, so she is unable to be here, but I'll have to snap some pictures of you and send them everyone." He says chuckling.

On November 1st, Zach was in his bedroom laying in bed. He hasn't eaten or even drinking blood sense Dawn left him. Draven and Clover outside his room frowned "Should we call Seth for help… he hasn't eaten anything or drink any blood…" Draven says with a worry look. Clover crossed his arms "Let him pout like a baby" Draven smacked his arm "don't be mean like that, I know you are worried about him too…" Clover frowned "mother said to leave him be… you know…" Draven sighed "come on lets go to his office and do his work for him" Clover nodded following Draven.

Nate and Michi were out on a date. They had just learned that they were having a little boy. "What would you like to eat?" "Something really hot…" Nate chuckled. "I love that you like spicy things." Michi blushed as they headed into a brand new coffee bar that had opened. Walking in they were greeted by a handsome young man. "Welcome…a table for two?" He asked. Nate looked at the man. His name tag said Al but yet he looked a little familiar. "Well?" He asked. "Oh, yes please." He led them to a small table for two and put two menu's down. "I'll be back for your orders." He walked off.

Michi looked at Nate. "You wanted to talk to me about something?" She asked opening the menu. Nate rubbed his hands. "Yes, it's something important. Now that we are…having a baby…have you given thoughts on us…m-marriage?" Michi's eyes widen and looked up at him with a blushing face. "What?" Nate grabbed her hand and pulled it into the middle of the table. "I want us to get married hon…it doesn't have to be big. It can be small, just use two, the arch angel, and the witness…Joe agreed to come and so did lady Oichi and that's it. Small and quick." Michi looked down. "You still want to marry me…" "Yes…" He squeezed her hand. "I love you Michi. So please? Marry me?" Michi sighs looking down. She then nods. Nate smiles brightly. "You have no idea how happy you have made me…I promise to always love you and our child and hopefully our future children. Haha!" Michi placed a hand on her blushing face.

At Rick's tattoo shop, Rick was bust tattooing. Greg finishing up Lucius Luther's tattoo on his back. He had changed his mind on the tree on his side and asked for wings on his back instead with a slight lower spin tattoo and the wings half go on his back arms. Chida upstairs walked from affair, Chida gulped looking at Lucius back licking his lip 'wow… Greg did amazing on his tattoo' Greg finishing up wiping it down and putting some healing jelly on it "Well there you are all done" Lucius got up and turned around with a small mirror on his back looking and smirked "Wow! This is amazing!" Greg chuckles "I'm glad you love it, we agreed on 200 right?" Lucius nodded taking out two hundred dollar bills, Greg chuckled "Go ahead and head upstairs and give Chida the money" Lucius nodded walking off upstairs putting his tank top shirt on. Chida's eyes widen and went back to the desk sitting down pretending to do something.

Lucius reaching the top seeing Chida typing away on the laptop, he smirked slightly and stepped over "Uhm Greg told me to come up here and pay for my tattoo" Chida looked up at him "Oh yeah the back tattoo for 200?" Lucius nodded putting down two one hundred bills down "Here you go" Chida nodded taking it "So uhm… I've been noticing you looking at me prince Chida" Chida stopped and his eyes widen looking up at him "uhm what?" Lucius chuckles "You've been watching me Prince Chida" Chida bites his lip "I don't know what your talking about…" Lucius raised an eyebrow at him "Mhmm I see, how about me and you have some drinks tonight? I'll be at the vampire coven bar, the new one. I understand of you wont show up" he said walking off. Chida frowns looking down 'the new vampire bar here huh…?'

At the castle, Oichi was down in Michi's lab. Now that she was feeling better it was time to uphold her promise of setting the dragons free from Valeriea's magic. Currently, though, she was giggling at the ultrasound of Ziana. "Twins huh. At this point Twins can no longer be a rarity. Nearly everyone has a pair. Excited?" "I suppose. I'm not looking forward to Ziana be demanding when she's hungry though…" "Why do you think she will be demanding?" "Sis…I've seen you pregnant how many times now?" Oichi chuckled. "I give you that. Anyways, is everything ready?" Mikey nods. "Just waiting on…" A portal opened up and Marik walked through it. "Hello Lady Oichi…Prince Mikey. Are we finally ready today?" Oichi nods. "Yes…" Mikey put his hands in his pocket. "I heard about your plan, and I think it's stupid." Mikey says blankly. "Brother!" Oichi says nudging him. Marik chuckled. "So, what is your plan?"

"Simple, we have been collecting the crystals that Valeriea had left behind every now and then from spies or from battles. We use those to pull the magic out of their bodies, sealing it in the crystals. "Mhm…then they die since Magic is the only thing hold them together." "Yes, but with your device, you can hold their souls in." "Correct now, what are you going to do with the bones? Since that is what they will turn back into." Mikey crossed his arms. "Simple. We place them in a new body. You think I don't know how to clone someone by now? I have new bodies for all of them and they are ready. All we need is you and their souls. Not everything has to be solved with your magic." Marik couldn't help but laugh. "Fascinating. You and your sister are one of a kind. Very well. I agree to follow this plan. Let us begin then."

Couple of hours went by, Draven and Clover was going over some documents and signing them for Zach. Clover sighs "This is stupid why cant he just get over what happen…" Draven frowns "was he like this when I died…?" Clover looked at him and looked away "yes…." Draven frowns "well don't be hard on him… he lost Kira and know Dawn left him… it's not easy for him…" "and you too, he lost you to me that's why he kicked us out!" he shouted slamming his fist has statue fell off the table and rolled under it. Draven groans "don't break his things or he will be pissed!" he shouted getting up and ducked up the desk. Clover groaned. Draven under the desk slipped and fell fulling on the ground, Clover blinked looked under "Babe you alright?" Draven nodded and laid on his back for a moment then he notices something from under the desk "Hey… wasn't this desk fathers?" "Yeah why?" Clover asks him "Well… there's something here…" Draven said reach up and pushed a button only for side drawer opening on the left making Draven's eyes widen "A secret drawer….?" Draven got out from under the desk has Clover reached under taking out something. It was a rolled up old scroll.

Draven and clover blinked at it "what this fathers…?" Clover blinked at it "His scent is all over it, so yeah it's his.." he said. Draven looked at Clover "lets open it…" Clover was also curious "Alright" he said has they both rolled it out. Fully rolled out it was contract, but not signed. Draven and Clover reading it, their eyes widen and gasps at this "It's a marriage contract…. Between brother and Seth… but its not sign…." Clover bites his lip and sees the date on when it was written. He shook "HE wrote this.. a couple days before I killed him…" Draven's eyes widen "You mean…" Clover nodded "If I didn't kill our father… then… Zach would have been with Seth this whole time…." Draven was shocked by this. "WE should force our way in his room and show him this… he needs ot see this…"

"See what?" they looked up to see Zach standing there look like death "Brother.. we found an old marriage document hidden in dads desk..!" Draven says, Zach frowns and walks over but he collapsed making Draven and Clover gasps and rush over to him. Draven frowns "He needs blood! He's been using his powers without drink blood…" Clover growled "You idiot Zach! Lets get him to Dracula right away" Draven nodded has Clover picked him and they both rushed off with him.

At Dracula's, Seth and Oberon was reporting to him about the Vermont clan. "So far, we have taken out 20 large bases known for the Vermont hiding places. We had to take out small places such as bars, old manors, even graveyards to get the information for those bases. We saved a number of slaves that are being taking in by Lady Oichi. Sadly, we could not save many…the Vermont's methods are cruel and would rather die and take the slaves with them then lose them." Oberon says. "Men, women, and children…it is a terrible price to pay." Seth nods. "But because we are pushing them so hard, they have not been able to focus on Oichi and the children…not that they could get close right now. Ronnie has men moving all around to make sure no one gets near them." Seth says finishing. "So far we caught at least 10 spies within the rank. Thalia herself is now making her own personal sweep through the castle everyday and nothing gets past my wife." Oberon says. "It's only a matter of time before we finally wipe them out." He says finishing his report. Dracula hummed softly "Have I become a lazy Emperor of vampires..? I know I've been asleep for many decades… how dare this vampire family disrespect me…!" He slammed his hand on the table "I should have never made… what was his name? I forgot his name… the first Vermont I named noble" "His name is Shawn my Lord…we thought if we found him then he could put a stop to this, but it looks like he is leading the charge. We cannot locate him quite yet, but it would make sense that he made the fake hit on Alisha…considering he mocked your signature on the letter…" Oberon says with a sigh. "Come to find out he has met the girls up close before…we had Rex search for him through the city, to see where he has been over the years. He contacted them at a party for Ebony when Jess brought her into the family, but he looked different…then he was found stalking them and the family for a while before he just vanished." Seth says frowning.

Then the doors burst up and looked up to see Draven and Clover, Clover had Zach in his arms how looked deathly ill. Dracula's eyes widen standing up "What happen?!" they had rushed over to him putting Zach down on the table, Seth looked at Zach and frowned down at him. Draven and Clover bowed to Dracula "it seems he's been locking himself away and starving himself…. After using his powers he's not been replenishing his blood…" Draven sighs with worry "Please my lord you must help him….!" Clover gulped "Please my lord" Dracula frowns and looks at Zach "You foolish King making your family worry like this…" Oberon looked on in silence while Seth just sighed. 'You fool…'

Dracula looks at Zach "he needs to feed, I would give him mine but Selena has forbidden me feed other vampires my blood… shesh…. Who is willing to feed him? Clover, Draven no you he might drain you two dry on how weak he is" Draven and Clover frowns.

Oberon looked at Seth. "No…" Seth says. Oberon gave him a look that made him sigh. "Fine…I'll do it…the quick we do this the quicker I can get back to hunting…" Dracula nodded "take him in the living area" Seth sighs reaching out taking Zach into his arms and carred him off to the living area. They watch Seth carry Zach into the other room closing the door. Dracula sighs "idiot…." Draven bites his lip "Uhm Lord Oberon… you need to see this.. we found it in a secret drawer in our father's desk…" Dracula blinked at him as Draven took out a scroll and rolled it out. Dracula looked down and his eyes widen "What the…" Oberon frowned. "You must be joking…" Clover shook his head "Nope… if I didn't' kill my father… he would have brought this up… it's no secret… we knew… Zach had a huge crush on Seth has a teenager" Draven nodded "Yup…" Dracula looked at Oberon "You're not happy I take it, Lord Oberon? Hannibal didn't bring this up with you?" "Of course, I am not happy. I died when Seth was barely one! How could I have known that!?"

In the living area, Seth sat down on the couch with Zach still in his arms, he sighed "Zach" Zach's eyes fluttered open "S-Seth….?" "You need to feed" Seth said moving shirt to the side "drink idiot" Zach frowns "why…? You… don't care for me.."

Seth groans, putting Zach next to his neck "Feed your idiot!" he could feel Zach's lips on his neck, they were trembling "Forgive me Seth…" he said biting down on Seth's neck and started to drink from him. "Yeah…yeah…" Seth says sighing. A couple of moments passed and Zach pulled away from Seth's neck burping slightly "Excuse me…." "Finally…" Seth mumbles almost shakingly.

Zach siting up wiping his mouth "I'm sorry about that Seth I know you don't like to be feed on…" "So long as you know…" Seth as fixing his shirt.

Zach and Seth walked to the doors and opened it walking out to see Oberon looking pissed. Dracula turned to them "well you two better come and see this, it seems your father Zach has hidden something in his desk" Zach's eyes widen and walked overlooking down making his eyes widen "What the fuck…." Draven and Clover looked at him and nodded "he wrote this two days before he died…. I guess he was afraid of what Seth's grandfather would do…" Seth stepped over and froze looking down at the marriage contract. "What do you mean afraid of what Oberon's father would do?" Dracula asked

Seth looked away from the contact. "Grandfather…he wanted to use me to get to you…" Seth says with a frowned. Zach bites his lip "that's why father told me no… but why write it…." Dracula sat down "why would he wanted to use you to get to Zach?" Zach looked at him "Seth…"

"He already hated me. He already tried every trick in the book to kill me. Assassins, poison, forced others to be fed on me until I nearly died out…After all, if it wasn't for me, mother would have been married to that scum bag Xavier. He thought if we were married then he could use you for whatever gains he wanted. If he couldn't kill me then use me as a pawn instead." Oberon gripped his fist. "As always he is nothing but a piece of shit. Thinking about himself and no one else…" Dracula growled slightly "I heard he was a harsh man in ancient times…"

Seth looked down to the floor. "I already knew about the contact, as he also drawn up a rough draft of it. I burned it…and told him I would rather die than do that, because there was no way I was going to allow him to take the one person I love and use him like some piece on a chess board." Zach's eyes widen "the one person you love….?" Draven gasps slightly, Clover sighed and crossed his arms.

Seth glanced at the marriage contact and grew sick just looking at it. Memories of the abuse he endure with his grandfather flashed through his head for the first time in centuries. It made his skin grow pale and he felt faint, breaking out into a sweat. His knees gave out and Zach went to catch him, but Oberon stood in his way and grabbed him first. Oberon could not look at Zach. "Forgive me Lord Dracula but we must take our leave. I need to get Seth home…" They could feel his anger pouring out. "Excuse me…" He says not glancing their way. "Rex take us home now…" "Understood." Rex chimes out, teleporting them away.

Zach sat down frowning "if father knew why did he wrote it?!" he slammed his hands on the table "He new how I felt about Seth and yet he wrote it…" Draven rubbed his back "I think father found about the abuse or the curelity that man did… and didn't want you to be used even if it had to scarfice you being with Seth… Do you… do you still love him…?" Zach teared "Yes.. I've always loved him and still do…" Clover sighed sitting down. Dracula hummed softly "Zach, you on leave from the missions and that an order… you've been neglecting yourself after Dawn left you… and I don't want you to die from it… you can check on Seth later on but this is final you are not allowed to go on mission in regarding the Vermont family" Zach nodded "Of course my lord…"

At Seth's manor, Oberon appeared with Seth. The servant's gasps and ran over to him. "Leave us be." The servants stopped where they were. Oberon led Seth to his room. He saw Terra running around the corner. "Seth!?" She hugged him. "Terra…take him to masters room…he needs rest." Terra nods and helped Seth walk to their room. Oberon bit his lip and turned around to the library where Thalia was. He slammed opened the doors. "Thalia!" He yelled as his voice echo through the library. He heard a gasp and Thalia came rushing over to him. "Why are you yelling?" She asked with a frown. "Did you know!?" He asked grabbing her arms. "Know what?" "Did you know that there is a marriage contact with Seth and Zach!?" Her eyes widen. "What? What are you talking about?" "Your damned father! Not only did I just learn that he harmed our son and tried to kill him he tried to use him to get close to Zach and his family! Tell me you didn't know!"

Thalia pulled away and smacked him. He blinks. She fixed her clothes and sighs out softly. "Are you a little more calm?" "Yes..." Oberon says rubbing his cheek.

"Good. No, I did not know about this. We both died shortly after he was born…but…I wouldn't put it past my father to try something like this." Oberon bit his lip and hit the wall shaking a bookshelf. "Dammit! If only we didn't die…we…we could have prevented this. Our son suffered because of us. We left him with your shitty father, and he was sealed his heart away to the one person he was meant to be with. I wish your father were alive so I can gut him alive." Thalia walked up to him and hugged him from behind. "I know dear…we were unable to give him a life that we dreamed of but Seth is married to Terra and they have a son…even if he still has feelings for Zach there is no way he would leave her like that…" Oberon sighs. "I know…he was just getting over his 1st wife and he finally found someone to be with...he is probably conflicted now...damn you Sirius…"

Bella was over at Steven's house. It was getting loud from some of the dorm parties and she needed to sleep so for the past two days she's been sleeping over at Steven's. It was close 5pm, they where cuddling on the couch. wrapped up in a blanket with the room dark with only the TV dimming up the room, she was wearing Silver Satin Ruffled Two-Piece Pajama Set. They where watching a Tv series called Resident Alien. They both laughed at a part in the episode, Bella chuckles softly and snuggles more into Steven.

She flushed has her mind went wild 'oh god I want him….' licking her lips, she backed up from making him look at her. she looked at him with a flush face, the blanket fell off her shoulders. his eyes widen at this, her hands reached up gently touching the strap of her top and moves it down slightly "Steven... I'm ready..."

He smiles at her "you sure?" she nods "Yes, I'm ready" he reached out and rubbed her cheek with hand "So soft you are." Bella leaned to the side and connected her lips to his. Steven pushed into the kiss, her hands went to his chest and pushed him down gently has she was on top of him. Moaning softly opening her mouth for him, her hands rubbing his chest with a soft moan. 'Her moans are so cute…' Steven grabbed her hands and flipped her over. Getting in between her legs, he pinned her hands over her head and kissed her, pushing his tongue in her mouth. His free hand ran down her side, down to her hips. He lifts her hips slightly as he rubs against her. Bella moaned softly while swirling her tongue with his. Opening her legs she moaned. Her body shook in pleasure 'oh god this feel so good…' Steven pulled back letting go of her arms. He took off his shirt. Tossing it in some random direction he leans down to attack Bella's neck. He licked and gently bite her. His hand grabbed one of her boobs and squeezed it. Bella's hands right away went to Steven's hands moaning "S-Steevenn.…" her hips where moving slightly with his. Steven squeezed her boob again and pinched her nipple. He kissed down to her other boob and licked it before placing his mouth over it. He raked his tongue over her nipple before he started to suck on her boob a bit roughly. Bella bite her lip playing with his hair more "yessss…" she was getting wet just by him playing with her boobs.

Steven's body started to shiver as he let out a moan. Bella's legs rubbing his hips moaning loudly "Steven…. More…" Steven leans up slightly. His face was slightly red.

Picking her up bridal style made her gasp "Steven?" he smiled at her "bed" Bella blushed and nodded "bed…" he walked her to the stairs and up them rather quickly. Reaching the bed, he gently placed her down on the bed. Hovering over her, he quickly removed Bella of her pajama bottoms and panties. He pushed her legs up taken in the sight her naked body. His eyes glanced down to see her slightly wet pussy from the rubbing and hormones.

Bella flushed blinking at him. He licked his lips as pushed a finger inside her. "Look how wet you are. It's getting me overly excited." Bella grabbed her own boobs from under her top moaning 'oh god it feels good' He started to unbuckle his belt and unzip his pants. she moaned again "Steven…." She flushed watching him. Steven pulls his finger out. He ran his fingers down her legs. "Very soft…" He says smiling. Pushing her legs up further he drops down and licks her pussy. His thumb rubbed against her clit. He pushed his tongue inside her and twirls it around. Her head went back, one hand squeezed her left boob and her right hand went to his head playing with his hair moaning "aahhh…" Steven let out another moan as he pushed his finger back inside her with his tongue. His thumb rubbed faster against her clit. Her other hand went down to his head playing with his hair more moaning and moaning, her hips moving against his finger and tongue moaning moaning more "yess… yesssss… AAHHH!" Steven groaned as he pulled his finger out. Moving his thumb and tongue rapidly against her now he pulled his pants down releasing his cock from it's painful position. He started to rub himself.

Moving her hips more, her moans became loud, playing with his hair none stop. "Steven… I'm gonna…" her body was shivering in such pleasure, she wanted him in her now.

Steven kept going. He wanted to hear her when she come. Her head snapped back again moaning from his tongue and thumb "I'm cummminnnggg…" Steven felt her body tense up as she came on his tongue. He pulled out with his tongue leaving a thin trail of his saliva mixed with her cum. He licked his lips before sitting up completely. He reached down to his pockets and pulled out a condom. "And I going to need this?" He asks as he rubs himself more. His eyes were looking up and down her body imagining all the things he wanted to do with her.

Bella flushed "Uhm I'm on the spell so you don't need one…" Her body was still shivering in pleasure, she looked at his size and flushed more. 'he's… huge…' Steven smiles down at her "I'll still wearing one, just incase" Bella smiled and nodded at him. Opening it, he put it on himself.

Then he rubbed himself against her. "I'll be gentle okay?" He says with a flustered face. He bends down and bumped her forehead with his. "If I'm hurting you let me know." He placed the tip of his cock at her entrance and started to push in. Her hands with to her face and she bite her bite softly 'so big….' Her body shook in pleasure from him pushing in her. Steven groaned as he pushed inside her. "This feels…really good…" He kissed her as he held her legs. He started to rock his body against her at a steady and gentle pace. Bella moaned. "feels so good…." She moans with his gentle thrust softly.

Steven buried his face in her shoulder, Bella reached up wrapping her arms around his neck and licked his ear.

His eyes widen and bites his lip in pleasure, Bella biting it and licking it "H-Harder…." She moans. He lets go of one of her legs and grabs on to the bed sheets. He holds down her other leg as his moments started to become rougher. Making her moan "ahh…!" He biting down on her shoulder. She moans loudly again "Oh my…Ahhhhh!" her hands gripped his hair tightly moaning. Steven pulled out and thrust back in her roughly over and over. With each thrust he went deeper inside her. He wanted to make sure she felt every inch of him. He wanted her to feel his cock scramble her insides until she went crazy. He shivered at the thought as he started to speed his movements up as well. His hand tightens around her leg. "Bella…" He moans in her ear.

The bed frame smacking into the wall with his thrusts as she moans loudly. "Steven!" Her hands left his hair and moved to his back crawling slightly biting his shoulder moaning in such pleasure. Steven moaned out. The way she moaned out his name was so sexy. His body started to move on its own. He sat up and place both his hands out beside her shoulders. He griped the bedsheets tightly as he started to pound her insides without restraints. He looked down at her getting more turned on by her expression, her tank top was pulled over her boobs showing them. Her C Cup size boobs moved up and down "It feels amazing inside you…moan out for me more…" Her face was pure lustful, she was moaning and moaning with every thrust "Steven… Steven…. Steven….!"

Bella wrapped her legs around his waist and quickly turned them and she was on top grinding slightly on his cock, she smirked lustfully leaning up at him.

Steven's eyes widen but he licked his lips. That lustful stare of her was driving him crazy. Bella moved to her feet and balanced herself with her hands on his chest as she started to bounce up and down on his rough and fast. Pleasure shot through her body as she moaned with every bounce. "Oh Steven …. you feel so good! Steeeven!" Steven tossed his head back slightly. "Amazing…" He looks back down as he watched her ride him. This very was very erotic. He grabbed her by her ankles and started to thrust up, meeting her every time. "Bella!… Bella!….." Steven groans out.

Her eyes widen open gasped out moan "So deeeeeeeep!" she collapsed to her knee's from the sheer pleasure, her body was shaking in pleasure falling on him, pushing back hard meeting with his thrusts "Yesss! Yess! Oh Steven fuck me!" she moaned out with pleasure. One of Steven's hands were on her hips while the other one with to her butt. He could feel his cock throbbing with each thrust. "Oh Bella…" He groaned out. He couldn't get over her moans. He never knew just a person's moan could turn him on so much! The way she said his name…he was loving it.

She leaned up moaning pushing back hard her eyes widen and smiled as she has a quick orgasm "So deeeeep it made me cum…." Steven moaned out slightly feeling her cum. He looked up at her and his eyes widen, has she was slowly moving her body in a exotic way her wings had come out. Her beautiful white wings, he finally gets to see up close.

He heard a snap in his chest as he sat up kissed her deeply. They both moan out as he grabbed her waist and held it tightly. They parted for just a second. "Bella…" She was pushed back on the bed. Her eyes started to grow wide as she watched two demon horns appear on his head. His eyes turned bright red with a redden, lustful face. "Bella…I can't hold back anymore. I'm sorry."

Grabbing her legs, he pins them down and pulls all the way out to where only the tip remains. He felt her legs shivering. Licking his lips he thrust back into her, burying himself all inside her. Bella gasps out loudly feeling so full. Steven's hip starts to move fast and roughly. More powerfully then before. His body gave into pleasure wanting to be as deep as possible inside her. His heart raced listening to her moans. The bed hit started to squeak dangerously from his strong thrusts but they both were moaning and groaning each other's names so loudly that they barely noticed.

Steven lays down on top of Bella as her arms wraps around him tightly. A light string of saliva ran down his chin as his body started to reach the peak of ecstasy. Never has his body felt this good. His heart felt like it was about to bust out of chest any moment. "Bella…oh Fuck…I can't…take it…I'm gonna…" He growls out. His hands grips the sheets, sweat roll down his back as he slammed into Bella over and over again. Pushing himself over the edge.. Bella moaned out loudly "STEVEN! AAAHHHH!"

His poor bed could no longer take any more of the abuse. The legs started to crack. Steven groans out lost in pleasure. "Bella! I…I…love you, Bella!" There was a large snapping sound and the bed legs gave out. The bed collapsed right as Steven was thrusting inside. Both of their eyes widen as he reached the peak of her walls. "Bella!" Steven screams out as he came hard and a burst of demonic pulsed out of his body shaking the house slightly. Bella's body shook and moaned so deeply "Steven…. I… Love you…" has she came all over him.

Steven breathes out softly as he reverts to his human form. He pulls out of her slowly making them both moan. He removes the condom and ties it up before tossing it into the trash bin. He then smiled and rubbed Bella's side. "You okay? Did I hurt you at all?" Bella smiled up at him "No, I'm fine love" she reached out taking his hand "I love you…" Steven smiled at her leans down kissing her "I love you too" she giggled pulling him down snuggling into him "tired.." he smiled holding her, he heard her soft breathing. He can tell she was already fell asleep.

He chuckled and moved away from her. He went to his closet and grabbed a light blanket. He went back to Bella and wrapped her in it, then picked her up. He then carried her back down his stairs. "I'll have to get the bed fix later." He lays her on the couch and rubbed her cheek. He quickly went back up his stairs and removed the broken bed legs, letting the bed down on the floor. He removed his back board and sat it to the side. "Gonna have to find a sturdier bed." He shivered thinking about Bella's soft body. He felt himself getting hard. "Damn…"

Once he changed the bed sheets and blankets into a fresher set, he went back down to get Bella who was still fast asleep. He removed the light blanket and put her under the blanket. He then sigs looking at his newly form hard on. "I won't be able to sleep like this…" Scratching his head he went to the bathroom. "Guess I'll take a cold shower…"

In downtown Xacron, in the new vampire bar. It was half full in the bar, Lucius Luther was sitting at the bar with his half cup of whiskey. Sensing a presence he smirked. Has someone sat down next to him, chuckles he took a drink of his drink "You came" he glanced to his right side to see Chida sitting next to him has the bartender gave him a drink. Chida looked down at it and frowned "I don't know why I came…" Luther chuckled "I think you came because you want to be wanted something new" Chida flushed "But I'm a married man" "two the queen of witches and your own twin brother" Luther said says taking a sip of his drink. Chida sighs taking his drink and took a gulp of it. Luther frowned mental 'he shouldn't even be drinking of him being pregnant.. does he even know?' looking down at his stomach 'mhmmm strange… his pregnancy is weirdly slow for a vampire….' Luther looked at him and chuckled "So Chida what do plain on doing for tonight?" Chida flushed with widen eyes looking at him "nothing…. But I can't do that… I wont cheat on Jess and Rick…." Luther smiles "I can tell you wont, lets just sit here and talk mhmm?" Chida nodded taking a sip of his drink.

At Phoenix's hideout, Valeriea was still out and about. Xavier had returned and was looking for Phoenix. He opened a door to see her standing there rocking Aubrie back to sleep. He leans on the door watching her with a smirk. 'So sexy…' His eyes ran up and down her body getting turned on. Once she put Aubrie down, she turned to. "It's good to be home, we got two visitors I'd like you to meet." Phoenix giggled "Alright and welcome home love"

Walking out to the hall she saw Crissy standing there. She bows slightly. "Lady Phoenix…" Phoenix eyes glanced down to a little girl standing a few feet behind Crissy. She was looking at her with a blank stare, nearly identical to her mother. "Zarisa dear, don't be rude." Crissy says. Zarisa blinks and bows. Xavier chuckled. "You've taught her well." Phoenix chuckles holding out her hand "give her to me please"

Crissy frowned looking at her hand. "Of course, my lady…but I need to see Lady Valeriea first…" Xavier frowned. "Careful Crissy…you know how this work. Your duties are over." Crissy turned to him. "While I have the dearest respect for Lady Phoenix…" She pushed Zarisa behind her slightly. "I will not hand over this child until I see Val." Xavier sighs and smiles. "You are Val's dearest friend Crissy; the reason she walked the path she is on now is because of you. She brought you back to life. She loves you but…do you think she will be happy to know you disobeyed Phoenix." Crissy looked down. "N-No but…"

Zarisa let out a little huff. She walked away from Crissy. "Zarisa?" Ignoring Crissy, she walked up to Phoenix and bowed again. "I'm Zarisa…you take me, from her?" She says softly. "I no like her…" Crissy frowned, biting her lip. Phoenix blinked down at her and smiled knelling down "I see little one, would you like something to eat? You look starved, mhmm how about some yummy ice cream Sunday?"

Though she didn't smile a red tint came to Zarisa's cheeks. "Yes, please…Like sweet things…" She says rubbing her fingers together. Phoenix giggled at her picking her up and looked at Crissy with a narrow "you will watch your tongue next time, or I will cut it out, you're lucky your Val's good friend or you would already be dead" Phoenix smirked with a dark chuckle walking away with Zarisa.

Crissy frowned at her. Xavier chuckled. "You are free to wait in Val's room, but I don't think you should stay to long. It would be in your best interest to leave here as soon as possible." "I don't want to leave her here…" "You have no choice. You plan on betraying Val?" "No! Never! But…you can't tell me you are comfortable with this…she's Val's daughter. What if Lady Phoenix does something to her?" Her neck was grabbed and she was lifted off the ground. He was frowning now. "Careful girl…if you keep speaking like this then your life will cut short once more." He threw her to the ground. "As I said before…it's best to keep your visit short. Zarisa will be fine in the care of Phoenix." He chuckled walking away. Crissy sits up rubbing her neck. 'Val…is this what you really wanted…'

In the forest of Switzerland, Valeriea was sitting in the grass mediating. A figured jumped down behind her and dropped to their knees. "Lady Valeriea…" Valeriea opened her eyes. "I do not have much time, but I've come to report." "Speak…" "The Vermont clan are slowly dwelling back. Due to the Vampires Kings and Lord Oberon, they have been unable to reach Queen Oichi. It doesn't help that Ronnie, is now on the look out as well…" Valeriea chuckled. "Is that so…then tell our little friend that it is time for him to step into the light. I need their attention off me for a little while longer." She looked at the glowing, floating, tree trunks in the air. "The magic bombs are almost finished charging. I don't need any interruptions." "Yes my lady and one last thing…we have finally established a connection with the witch Abby…we have confirmed that she still does have her mother's body." Valeriea smirked. "Wonderful news. I will deal with that later. Keep watch over her and let me know her movements." "Yes, my lady…" The figure disappeared. Valeriea stood up looking at her hands. Her magic was slipping away more and more each day. 'Just a little more time. That's all I need…'

As the day passed, it was now November 28th. Sakamoto's birthday. There was a small gathering that was happening later in the evening for family and friends. The gravesite was now blocked off with Rex's barrier and unless you were with the families or had familiar access, no one could get through.

Oichi was in her room wearing a long black elegant lace dress and flats. She was looking at herself in the mirror. "Saki…" She smiles softly. "Right about now you would be complaining how much you hate your birthday…" The door opened and Rinko appeared with the quads. They were dressed in a black sleeveless dresses and black sandals. They ran over to her. "Mama?" Eliana askes. "Yes dear?" "We see daddy?" Oichi breaths in softly. "Yes dear." "He gonna wake up?" Nicole asked. Rinko sighs. "Girls…we talked about this…" They turned to him. "He wake up! Right mama!?" Nicole says. "No honey…this time…daddy won't wake up." The girls frowned. Ava rubs her arm. "…He…my daddy to?" She asks tearing up. Oichi smiles softly. Ava was young but she was growing fast mentally. She had started to understand that Sakamoto was her birth father. During the days of the upcoming memorial she had came to Oichi and told her she was a bad girl for treating Sakamoto so mean. Oichi couldn't help but both cry and laugh at that statement.

Oichi gets down to her knees and hugged her daughters. "Your daddy loved you all very much. You four were his last gift to me before he left us. Remember that he is always watching over us okay?" They sniffed and nodded. "Good…now let's go to the memorial. We can't keep everyone waiting." The girls went to Rinko who led them out. Oichi walked out behind them right as Orochi walked up. "Your still not coming?" "So, I can watch you cry over another man? No…but I am here for you when you come back." Oichi chuckled and kissed him. "We will be back shortly."

Jess wearing a Black Velvet Dress With Slit and black heels was strolling Harley and Draco in their strollers wearing black suits. Rick and Chida in in identical black slim suit set walk along with her. Aerith and Ebony walked in behind them, Aerith wearing black lace dress. Ebony wearing a Luxury Black Sequins A-line Spaghetti Straps Long Prom Dresses With Split. They both had down looks "I hope the boys will be alright" Ebony nodded "Ayden…" Klaus behind then wearing a black suit was worried about Naomi.

Outside the castle, the memorial service was being held. Sakamoto's body was brought out by Seth's vampire guards and was posted alongside him. It allowed people to come and view his body and pay their respects. Once Oichi got there, however, anyone who was not family had to leave for the time being. The shops were closed for the day as the city both mourn and celebrate the life and death of Sakamoto. In the middle of the city there were small parties going on in his name. To which Oichi didn't mind. So long as things didn't get to rough.

While many people came, Jayden and his siblings stayed a bit further away, waiting for their mother and sisters to arrive. Kalmin, Jayden, Ayden, and Kaleb were all wearing black suits. The twins were wearing a black chic knee length dress with lace sleeves. Takara was wearing a vintage black maternity dress. She was sitting down rubbing her 9-month belly. Yaris was beside her also wearing a black suit, with Andrew on his lap. He was wearing a black and gray lover sleeve shirt and black pants. Takara had been crying nearly all day. Beside her Shamir was sitting beside her with Scott in her arms. "Daddy…" Takara says sniffing. Shamir rubbed her back. "Mama sad?" Andrew says. Yairs smiles at him. "She misses her dad." "Oh…" Andrew says. He reached out and pat her leg. "Love you mama." Takara smiles at him sniffing. "I love you do Andrew."

Ayden sighs sadly. His eyes were red from crying. Jayden placed a hand on his shoulder. "You know dad never blamed you for what happen right?" Ayden frowned. "It's still my fault…I was stupid and angry. I let myself be controlled and it got him killed…he should have blamed me. It would…hurt less…" He says looking down as tears formed in the corner of his eyes. Kalmin walked over to him and hugged him. "If dad didn't blame you then that is that. He wouldn't want you to beat yourself over it like this." Jayden nodded in agreement. Ayden rubbed the tears from his eyes.

Kaleb was standing by Tozrith when Dimitri walked up. "Hey…" Kaleb looked at him. "Hi…" He looked at Tozrith who nodded. Kaleb smiled and went to hug Dimitri. He hugged him back. They parted. "Thanks for letting me come to pay my respects…I'm sorry we couldn't make this work." Dimitri says. "It's fine and understandable. I'm glad you aren't mad about me and Tozrith." Dimitri chuckled. "I support you both and I hope we can still be friends?" Kaleb nods.

By the twins, Naomi and Alisha, Alisha was rubbing her eyes crying. "Aw, sis…don't cry okay…" "I miss daddy so much though…" Naomi hugged her, her own cheeks were puffy from crying. "I know. I miss him to. Once Marcellus gets here, you can cry all over him and I'll even let him cuddle you." Alisha smiles with a slightly giggle and sniffle. Jess and her family walked over, Klaus right away went for Naomi. Reaching her, he took her hand making her turn her head to him. Klaus touched her cheek "Naomi…" She smiled softly. "Hi…" Letting Alisha go she hugged him and started to cry more into his chest.

Ebony and Aerith reached the boys, "Ayden…" "Jayden…" Ebony hugged Ayden and Aerith hugging Jayden. They hugged them back. Kalmin smiled at them and walked over to Rick. "Uncle…I feel bad…" Rick frowns and hugs him "it will be alright Kalmin"

Kalmin looked at his siblings. "I guess a better word would be…frustrated…I'm sad as well but not sad enough to cry…I never knew him so I don't know how to comfort anyone…mom said he loved me to but…I don't know…s-should I even be here…" He says rubbing his hands together. Rick smiles at him "Kalmin, he was your father. He cared for you while you were in Oichi's womb growling. He said you where is his son and you were if you were born, he loved you" Kalmin looked down. "I see…I wish I could have met him…"

A few moments passed and everyone started to show up. Ross and his family walked up to stand with the family. He was holding Kalena who was one now. She was wearing a cute cardigan black and white dress with black hearts on it and a small jacket. Her hair was down to her shoulders now and was sipping on a juice cup. Her eyes widen to see so many people. She pulled the cup away with a popping sound. "Daddy…no like it…" He smiled at her. "It's okay. Once your auntie Oichi get's here all these people will go away. I know you don't like crowds." Azaya wearing a spaghetti Straps Black Tulle Dress and black heels giggled "yeah don't worry little sissy" Kaci smiles holding Hannibal wearing a cute black suit "Down daddy!" Kaci chuckles putting him down "No running off" Hannibal nodded "Okay.."

Just inches from them, and a portal opened, and Paxton walked out with Sonya who was wearing a black dress and flats. Paxton was pushing the stroller with Charlie and Saber in it while Sonya was holding Skylar. Semyaza walked out with puffing cheeks. Sonya wrapped her arms around him. "It will be okay honey. I know you miss him." "Mama I want down." Skylar says. Sonya put her down and she ran over to Paxton.

Ross waved at them to get their attention. "There are people still here…" Paxton says walking to them. "Yeah, Oichi isn't here yet." Ross says. Kalena looked at Paxton and waved shyly. Paxton chuckled and waved back. Ross looked down at the twins and chuckled. They were staring at him intensely. "Your twins want me to pick them up?" "Who knows…right now they need to stay in the stroller so I can watch them." Ross looked over to Semyaza who was rubbing his eyes. He sighs looking at Azaya. "Go comfort your future husband." Azaya blushed and walked over him "Sem…." Sem looked at her "Azaya…" Azaya smiled and hugged him gently "Oh Sem…." He hugged her back.

Dawn stepping over wearing a Black silk sleeveless fitted pencil dress and black heels, Roxas was walking besides wearing a black suit. In Dawn's arms was Elvira wearing a cute black Backless Embroidery Flower Jumpsuit, Dawn was watching her for the week. She was heading over to where Jess was when she spotted Danni and her brother Chaz. Smiling she walked over to her. "Danni." Danni turned to her and smiled. "Hey Dawn." She looked around. "Where is Frank?" "Well…Adaline thought she saw Oichi in the crowd and ran off to go to her, so Frank went after her." Roxas smiled looked up at her. "Hi!" Danni smiled. "Hi cutie. Look at you so adorable." He giggled. Danni chuckled. "Oh, Dawn you remember my brother. Chaz, Dawn…Dawn, Chaz." "Sup." Chaz says with a wave. Dawn looked up at him, her cheeks turned red "Oh hello" Elvira in Dawn's arms sensing her mother started to fuss.

Danni pinched his cheeks. "Don't be rude. Give her a proper greeting." Chaz chuckled and moved her hand. "I got it sis, I got it." He was looking around. "Are you sure we shouldn't just go get Oichi? I see everyone else showing up, but I don't see her." Danni smacked his chest. "Shush. She will be here. Have you ever tried getting the quads to dress up? It is a nightmare. It's like Zane times 10." Chaz chuckled. "If you say so sis." Elvira started to do a soft baby cry, Dawn frowned bouncing her softly "Jessica!" Jess was soon by them, Dawn smiled "She sensed you" Jess smiled gently taking Elvira putting Elvira around against her shoulder who stopped crying fell back asleep. Jess chuckles and walks off with her. Dawn chuckles, looking back at Danni "I've been made the head of the Mikcloud family, Jess named me it"

"Oh? Congratulations are in order then. We should celebrate or something. When is the last time we spent some time together anyways?" Danni says smiling. Dawn chuckled "that sounds good"

More minutes passed, Lucian, Izzy and their daughter Laura was there. Yain, Florina and their children came. Kayla and Clark came with her twins. Ty and Marie with Rhea came, though Ty had to chase down Rhea who went looking for Oichi. Nia, Terrance and Jaliyah came as well. Nysa came with Marcellus, Hanson, and Ember. Marcellus quickly left her side to be with Alisha. Joseph and Dustin with the twins also came along with Bella and Steven. Bella was wearing a Black Tulle Spaghetti Straps V Neck short dress and black heels with ankle strap. Hanging on Steven's arm she was sniffing, she misses her uncle Sakamoto. Steven leans over and kisses her temple "It's alright hun" Bella smiled softly and nodded

Seth came with only Grayson and his parents, Kendric, and his sons. It seems Terra was not feeling to well and decided to stay behind. Seth was standing alone holding Grayson when Ronnie walked up. "Seth…" Seth turned to Ronnie. "I heard from Oberon…are you alright?" Seth sighs. "I don't really want to talk about it…" "I understand…if you do wish to talk, know that I am here…I know your grandfather wasn't the easiest to be around, but you were able to become a better King because of it. Don't slip back into that mindset of what he made you out to be." Seth nods. "I know…"

Soon, the crowd started to leave, departing from the site. The family turned to see Oichi and the girls walking by. "Ava!" Hanson yells. He ran to her. She smiles as he hugged her, making her giggle. "Missed you!" Oichi chuckled. "Hi Hanson." "Hi auntie!" Hanson says smiling. Danni walked over to her and hugged her tightly. "You okay pumpkin?" "No…but I don't think it ever get easy…" They parted. Oichi looked at everyone. "Hi everyone…thank you for coming to this memorial gathering for Saki…now that the public viewing is done his body has been sent to the royal grand hall where we as his friends and family can view him without being disturbed…

She started to tear. "Today is his birthday…if he was here, he'd definitely would be upset with me for getting everyone to come here today." Ross chuckled. "That bum…he never did say why he hated his birthday so much." Jess stepped over with Elvira in her arms "Oichi, you alright?"

Oichi smiles rubbing her teary eyes. "We can go inside now. Please take your time. Though not to much. I don't want him out of his resting place to much." Everyone followed her through a side passage into the castle. There they came to a separate section that had a large light blue grand hall with two floors. There was a seating area and a few finger snacks. "Saki is upstairs…for those who want to wait you are free to do so." She says.

Zach walked in wearing gothic like tuxedo, Draven and Clover where next to him. His eyes roamed around and see Seth, he gulped and was about to walk over when Roxas ran over to him "daddy" Zach smiled knelled down picking him up "Hey there little man how are you?" Roxas giggled "Good! Mama is over there" he pointed, Zach looked up to see Dawn looking at him and smiled with a nod. Zach nodded with a smile

Everyone separated. Ayden wasn't ready to see his father and went to go sit down. He couldn't help but tear, feeling that this was his fault. His brothers went to go comfort him. Oichi made her way upstairs while the quads stayed down with Danni. Once she reached the middle floor she walked to where Sakamoto's see-through coffin was. Two guards were posted on the side. Behind him was a large photo of him along with some of his things that once belong to him. Mainly nothing but steampunk things. Oichi walked up to the coffin with tears. "Saki…happy birthday…I'm glad that they were able to bring you back to me…" She sniffs. "I miss you every day and so do your children." She smiled softly rubbing her ring. "I…married Orochi and we now have two twins together. Wherever you spirit is I hope that you are listening. I love you and you will always be in my heart. I will never forget the times we had together…" Tears ran down her cheeks more and her chest started to heart. The guards grew worried. "I miss you stupid Saki…" She says crying. Jess started to tear has "Saki I miss you too"

Hayate walked up to Oichi and hugged her. "We miss him too dear." Oichi stepped back and looked at Sakamoto. He looked peaceful as ever. A tiny portal opened up and Ava came running though. "Mama!" She ran into the back of her leg making her gasp a little. "Ava?" She turned around to see her sniffing. "Me see!" Oichi frowned but picked her up. She turned her to see Sakamoto's body. Ava sniffed and started to cry. "I sorry daddy! I was bad girl! You daddy to! I sorry!" She yelled. "Oh Ava…" Oichi turn her away and hugged her. "He knows honey. He loved you to okay."

Jess smiled tearing "he loved all of you kids.." 'this is fair why does Saki had have to suffer like this… the reaper should just bring him back…' Rick walking over, Chida strolling the twins over "Sakamoto…. Even though you hated me and where a ass to me, I thought you of has friend and still" Rick says. Chida rubs his back, Jess sniffs more "Saki…" Aerith and the girls were leaning on their boyfriends tearing. Zach looked over at Seth who had his head down, Zach bites his lip and walks over with Roxas. Next to Seth, Zach's pinky finger connected with Seth's, he felt a slightly grip from Seth. Roxas was tearing "Daddy…" he snuggled into Zach's shoulder.

Downstairs Naomi walked over to Ayden who still haven't moved. Ebony and Shamir were beside him. "Get up." Naomi says. Ayden looked up at her with redden eyes. "No…I can't…" "Yes you can, your just running away. You're never going to get past this if you don't do it." "I said no." "I wasn't asking." She grabbed Ayden's arm and pulled him up. "Sis I don't…" Naomi ignored him and pulled him the stairs where everyone was. Ebony followed leaving Shamir alone with Scott. Oichi was heading downstairs with Ava when she saw them. "Naomi what are you doing?" "This ends today! No more self-guilt!" The boys watched as she dragged him to the coffin and pushed Ayden forward.

Ayden held his breath. His eyes watered seeing his father. "Dad…" Tears rolled down his cheeks and he collapse to his knees. "Dad…I'm sorry…if I would have just listen. You would still be here. I took you from mom! I allowed myself to be control. I did everyone wrong! I cursed you, threw insults at you, tried to kill you…so…why…" His tears hit the floor. "Why didn't you blame me at the end…" Jayden and Kaleb quickly went to his side hugging him.

Oichi sighs softly with a smile. "Your father knew what was going on. He knew everything you did was to protect me and your family. What he doesn't want is for you to be blaming yourself anymore. No one here blames you Ayden. What your father wants is for you to stand tall and keep moving forward. Don't let this guilt eat you alive. In the end, the only thing Saki wanted to save was you." Jayden and Kaleb helped Ayden up. Ayden sniffs. Jayden rubbed his head. "Don't hold stuff like this in bro. We got you." Kaleb nods. "Yes. Always and forever just like dad taught us." Ebony steps over in front of him taking his face with a soft smile on her face "It's alright hunny" she says taking his hand and walks him over to the coffin more. Ayden looked down at his father, Ebony holding his hand leaning on him "I'm here for you like everyone else"

Once Ayden and Ebony moved. Takara and Yaris walked up with Andrew. "Daddy…I love you…I wish you were here so you could meet Umiko…" Yaris kissed her cheek. "Grand pop…" Andrew says looking at Sakamoto. Alisha and Marcellus walked up looking in the coffin and then Kalmin. Rick rubbed his back before leading him away. Ronnie walked up with a slight sign. 'Tell Faye I miss her as well…' He closed his eyes and walked off. Ross walked up hold Kalena. She blinks and points to Sakamoto. "Yes, that's your uncle Saki." "…He pretty…" She says in a whisper. He chuckled. "Aw, you would have made him blush hearing that." He looked at Sakamoto. "I just want to let you know that I'm keeping our promise. Rest well dear friend." Kaci walked up with Hannibal "Sakamoto…"Hannibal frowned snuggled into Kaci. After Kaci was Jess, Rick and Chida. Jess sniffing stepping over "Saki… for some reason I can sense you yelling at me for calling you Saki… why did you always hate it?" Rick chuckles "he only let Oichi call him it" Chida nodded "only Oichi" Jess smiled "well I'll still call him it even now isn't that right Saki?" the boys chuckle at her.

Oichi smiled sitting down holding Ava. Danni walked over with the rest of the girls. "He said he felt like that nickname was a way to make him boring and people forget boring stuff." She smiled softly. "He didn't want to be forgotten if his time came…and people only knew him as Saki…"

Paxton and Sonya walked up with the twins who were fast asleep. Paxton rubbed Semyaza's back. He was in tears. Skylar sniffed. "Uncle…" Paxton sighs looking at Sakamoto. "Don't worry. I doubt you will be forgotten any time soon." They walked off and Seth walked up holding Grayson. "Sakamoto…out of all of my grandchildren…my own children…I saw more potential in you. I had hoped when the day comes, I could finally retire and hand over my title to you…For you to think you would ever be forgotten over some silly nickname is ridiculous but understandable…my dear grandson…I hope you are resting in peace with your grandmother.."

They walked off and Seth walked up holding Grayson. "Sakamoto…out of all of my grandchildren…my own children…I saw more potential in you. I had hoped when the day comes, I could finally retire and hand over my title to you…For you to think you would ever be forgotten over some silly nickname is ridiculous but understandable…my dear grandson…I hope you are resting in peace with your grandmother.."

Naomi and Klaus walked up with Dimitri behind them. Once Naomi said her words they walked off. Dimitri walked up to Sakamoto's coffin. "Prince Sakamoto…I wish for you the best…I'm sorry things didn't work out between me and Kaleb…" He looked down and a smile comes to his face. "…and it's a shame no one will ever see this body again." He pulled out a black crystal. They guard's eyes widen. "Stop there!" Everyone's eyes turned as the guards were blasted away from Dimitri. He held up the black crystal. Oichis eyes widen as she got up. "No!"

Dimitri smirked darkly as he dropped the crystal onto the coffin. Black flames busted from it consuming Sakamoto's body and the coffin into strong black fire. "Nooo!" Oichi screams out. Kaleb eyes widen. "What did you do!?" Seths eyes grew wide in anger. Zach's grew red "Have you lost your MIND?!" Jess's eyes widen "Rick.. take Elvira.. know!" Rick's eyes widen taking Elvira "Dimitri!"

Dimitri smirked and chuckled as the windows smashed up and vampires piled in left and right. They heard a scream downstairs. Ayden knew it was Shamir. He quickly ran to the steps and jumped down to see her surrounded by Vampires.

"What is the meaning of this!?" Oichi yelled in tears as she ignored the pain in her chest. Yaris held Takara who was shaking from the sight of Sakamoto's body burning. Dimitri chuckled and looked at Alisha. "I've finally found you." Marcellus guarded her. "Back off! What the hell did you do!?" Dimitri chuckled. "Oh? You mean me? I should let you know, this isn't your little fiend. No, no, no the owner of this body was captured and killed so that my soul can take over." Kaleb's turned pale. "What….you…you killed…Dimitri….then who are you!?" Dimitri chuckled. "My name is Keegan Vermont!" Alisha eyes widen. "And I've come to take Alisha with me. My clans men though…they have other plans."

Suddenly Oichi was shot in her shoulder by a relic type of gun. She screamed out dropping Ava. Danni gasps and ran to her. "Rinko protect the girls!' Rinko's tail wrapped around the girls as he grabbed Ava who was screaming for Oichi. "Capture the queen and bring me Alisha!" Keegan yelled as the vampires charged at the family. Jess moved and pushed a vampire in the face sending him flying "You will not touch them!" Zach rushed over snapping necks "You fools!" Azaya's eyes widen at this Vampires were charging at her, she reached grabbing the vampire by the neck has her hand turned into lave melting the vampire "I'll kill you all for this!"

Paxton cast a barrier around the twins right as he smacked a vampire away from them. Sonya protected the twins while Semyaza grabbed Skylar. He punched a vampire in his mouth breaking all his teeth.

By Ross he burned the vampires alive. Kalena pointed at one. "There daddy." He chuckled and set a vampire on fire. "There." She says pointing by the window. He was caught in flames to. "Good job princess."

Yaris protected Takara but she was shaking as she held her belly. She started to breath hard and fell to the ground. The shock of seeing Sakamoto's body burning and Oichi getting shot was to much and she went into labor. Seth, with his sword out slicing down the vampires ran to her. He put Grayson in Yaris arms along with Andrew. "Leave now!" Yaris bit his lip. As he made a water portal. A sheet of water lifted Takara up. "No!" She yelled in tears reaching for Oichi. "no! Help mama! Help her!" She screamed. Yaris had to ignore her as he ran in the portal with her and the kids.

Ronnie rushed over to Oichi who was holding her bleeding shoulder. It wasn't healing and a bullet was still inside. Before he could reach her, he was kicked back by a powerful vampire. "Dad!" Danni yelled. Ronnie growls out as the vampires jumped on top him, pushing him back from Danni and Oichi.

Danni stood up but was grabbed from behind. "Let me go!" She yelled as she threw her head back breaking his nose. She broke free and punched him out the window. Another came for Oichi but Chaz stepped in front of him and grabbed him. His eyes glowed angrily. As he cut the vampires head off with his claws. He then drops to Oichi to look at her shoulder.

By Joseph and the twin's he was grabbed by a vampire but he was set on fire. Joseph looked to see Steven who was holding Bella close to him. His fire familiar was buzzing around setting anything on fire that came close to them. Holding Bella's hand they ran to Joseph. "Are you okay?" Steven asked. "Yeah…I'm not much of a fighter so thanks for that…" Steven nods. Then a hook chain went through Bella's shoulder making her scream, Dustin's eyes widen in horror as she was pulled out of Steven's hold and towards a vampire "STEVEN!" Steven moved quickly grabbing the chain. Using his flames he melted it, snapping it from pulling Bella. "Willow! Incinerate!" He commanded. Willow flew towards the vampire and grabbed his face setting his body on fire. He screamed out running but was quickly turned to ash. "Bella. This is going to hurt…" Steven says grabbing the hook. She clings to his arm and screamed out as he pulled the hook out of her shoulder. He then lowered his flames changing them into a light orange color. He held it to Bella's shoulder healing it.

Aerith was kicking and pushing, casting spells at Vampires. Ebony turning into her demon form she started to cast her shadow magic at them. Jess looking at Oichi and Danni she frowned and was about to rush over when Frank dropped down with his spear and banged it on the ground has a angelic barrier went around them, Adaline was his shoulder laughing clapping her hands "meanie's pay! My mama! My sissy!' "How dare you touch my FAMILY!" Frank shouted has lighting appeared on his spear and spread out hitting vampires.

Frank tossed Danni the first aid kit "Danni you can take the bullet it, remember I taught you first aid love" "Yeah, I know." Danni says. "Oichi I need to see your shoulder. Oichi nods. "Uncle…help the children…" Chaz nods. Running out the barrier. Jayden runs over to the stairs to see Ayden fighting off the Vampires alone as they tried to take Shamir and Scott. He stood on the rail and took a deep breath. He screamed, letting out a sonic wave that shook the bottom floor. The vampires covered their ear's but Ayden wasn't affected by it. His eyes turned into their hybrid form and with his speed he quickly sliced down the vampires.

Jayden stopped screaming and jumped down from the top of the staircase, he landed on the back of a vampire who screamed out as his back broke. He joined Ayden in cutting down the vampires.

Back upstairs Kaleb was glaring at Keegan. "How dare you kill Dimitri….I'll make you pay for that!" He ran up to Keegan but was bounced back by a barrier. Tozrith caught him. "Not today little brat. I only want two things today." He chuckled as Alisha screamed out. Marcellus was being pinned down by Vampires. One of them had Alisha and was dragging her away to the window. Naomi gasps and ran to her but she was caught by a vampire as well. He coveted her mouth to prevent her from calling Balija out. The vampire was grabbed off her by Klaus biting his neck making the vampire scream then tossed the vampire away "You dare touch my Mate! I'll kill you!"

Oichi saw Alisha being dragged away. Before Danni could finish her first aid, Oichi got up and ran to her. "Oichi wait!" She yelled as she left the barrier as well. She was suddenly kicked in the stomach by a female vampire. The kick sent her flying into the wall. "Stay their little puppy." Danni growls out. "Your going to pay for that."

Frank's eyes widen "you foul vampire!" Frank smacked him with he stay making the vampire get through back. Adaline jumped down at Danni "Mama!" Danni caught her.

Oichi cut down any vampires that got in her way. "Alisha!" Her arm claws came out and grabbed the vampire that was taking Alisha. He was swatted away from her and through the wall. "Mom!" Alisha hugged her crying. Oichi frowned and gaps as she saw a bright twinkle coming out of the forest. 'A sniper!' She quickly turned around just as bullets started to shoot into the building. Oichi was hit in her back, leg, and arms as she shielded Alisha. "Mom!"

They were suddenly surrounded by multiple Vampires. One of them had a net gun and shot it at Oichi. Oichi pushed Alisha out of the way as she was captured by the net. It was infused with wolf bane and it was made from black metal that took the powers of creatures. Oichi dropped to the floor with her bullet wounds bleeding out. Keegan laughed. "Take her away now!" The vampires ran off with Oichi in tow.

Jess's eyes widen "OICHI!" she shouted and ran after them. Dawn gasped, she had summon Shekila her lightning familiar "Jess!" Jess didn't listen and ran after them, biting her lip 'Cien! Michael! Aii! stop the vampires I'm going after Oichi!' she mentally told them.

Chaz crushed the throat of a vampire that was coming at Kalmin. "Uncle…" "It's alright. They won't touch you." Dimitri snitched his teeth as Marcellus had finally slaughtered the vampires that were holding him back. He ran to Alisha holding her. The vampires kept pouring in. Oberon chuckled as he cut down vampires after vampires. "Yes, keep them coming! I'll slaughter all you right now!" Thalia chuckled at him. "Dear, your war times elf is showing." Oberon stuck his blade into a vampires neck. "Oh? Have you fallen for me all over again?" She giggled. "I have."

Ronnie dropped a dead vampire body. "Your sacrificing your clan for what…just to get Oichi and Alisha. This is suicide." Seth demon dogs were feasting on bodies and frowned at Keegan. "Do you want to die so badly?" "My mother is dead because of that Emperor. Do you want to know why we are so bold vampire Kings. It is because Vermont will always get what we want one way or another." He looks at Alisha. "I got a son out of Shamir. I wonder what I will get out of you Alisha." Alisha shook clinging to Marcellus. Vampires surrounded Keegan. "Bring her to me!" He yelled. The vampires ran to Alisha and Marcellus when they were all cut into pieces. Seth appeared with a dark and menacing look.

His vampire aura pulsed out pushing back the vampires from Alisha. "I'm and tired of your games…you all die here today." Zach's eyes glowed snapping next "You are fool nameless rat!"

Downstairs, Oichi was being dragged through the castle, the vampires killed any guard that got in their way. Oichi was to weak to move. The bullets in her body were painful and she couldn't feel Deerward at all. She started to black out, tearing up. Seeing Sakamoto's body being burned made her heart hurt. She couldn't stand it. Why was fate out to crush her. What did she do wrong. She closed her eyes. 'Maybe it's better if I would have just died…' Then in front of them a green light appeared making them stop and Jess stood there with a dark look has green light orbs floated around her "get your hands off her!" she shouted making her hand and arm has the green light orbs shot at the vampires killing them. Jess rushes over to Oichi "Oichi!" ne response she frowned "Oichi…"

She tried to remove the net but she felt her magic being heavily drained. She gasped pulling away. She heard chuckling as they were now surrounded by more vampires. "That's a high quality net foolish witch queen. One touch and your magic gets drain. We've come prepared in numbers and we will keep coming until the wolf queen is ours!" They started to close in her. Jess narrowed at them has lightning started to form from her hands.

Suddenly the castle started to shake. In the grand hall the walls and floor started to crack. Keegan looked around. "What's going on!?" Just then serpents broke through the walls grabbing the vampires and eating them. Ava smiles. "Daddy!" A large serpent appeared in front of Keegan and hit its head in the barrier shattering it easy. Keegan eyes widen as he was about to be swallowed whole. A portal opened and a hand pulled him in. Seth shields his rapier. "Looks like Orochi finally came…" He turned to Alisha who was crying. "If I just give myself up they will leave us alone! I don't want anyone else to get hurt!" She cried out. Marcellus frowned holding her. Seth walked up to her. "That won't happened. No matter how many come Alisha. There is no way I am handing you over so easily." Aerith, Ebony, Klaus, Bella, Steven and Azaya nodded in agreement "There's no way!" they all shouted at the same time.

Downstairs in the hall, Jess was ready to fend off the vampire until a serpent came and slammed its body into the vampires. She blinked as a portal opened up under her. The net around Oichi was lifted and melted into liquid. Orochi rose out of the portal, picking up Oichi in his arms. He was pissed. "Foolish vampires. You think you can hurt my wife and my sister in law and not pay for your actions? Let me remind me just who you are messing with." Jess's eyes widen and turned him "Sister… in law…?" she was stunned by this.

The serpent hissed out and attacked the vampires eating, and poisoning them. One slipped through and ran to Orochi with a dagger. However, Orochi had placed a barrier around himself and Jess made of poison miasma. The moment the vampire touched the barrier his body started to melt in a brutality way. Jess had to turned her head from it until the man was nothing more than a bloody bubbling puddle. Once the vampires were dealt with, Orochi dropped the barrier and sent his serpents back home.

Orochi drops to a knee and flips Oichi over. Seeing the bullet wounds he frowned and held up his hand. Jess watched as his hand shapeshifted into tiny tentacles. They each went into a wound and started to dig the bullets out of Oichi. He tossed them on the floor and picked her back up. "I'm taking her to the hospital. You should go check on the others." Jess looked up at him with a sweet smiling smile, he frowned "What?" Jess giggled poking him "Alright brother-in-law" she said a wink and ran off.

Orochi frowned until he realized what he had said a moment ago. His cheeks turned slightly red. "Danmit all…why did that slip out…" He opened a portal and walked through it with Oichi.

In the grand hall, Ayden and Jayden sighs as the last vampire body fell. "Freaking annoying…" Jayden says. Ayden rushed to Shamir. "You okay? How's Scott?" Shamir nods. "Were okay…thank you…" Jayden sighs in relief.

Upstairs, Marcellus walked up to the black flames and held up his hands. He absorbed the flames frowning to see nothing left. His hand turned slightly black. Ross looked at it. "Careful brother. That is no ordinary flame…" "I know…it burned everything away…there aren't even ashes left." The twins frown. "No…" Seth grips his fist and slammed his hand into the wall. "I'm sick of this…the painting wasn't enough but they destroyed his body as well…They have gone too far…" He grits his teeth. "I will end that clan if it's the last thing I do…" the kids jumped, Bella took Steven's hand. Aerith gulped taking Jayden. Ebony frowned taking Ayden's. Dawn holding Roxas frowns "Why… why did they do this…?" Zach stepped over to Seth "Seth…." Then everyone felt Dracula's presence, everyone but Seth turned has he stood there with widen eyes "I was just told and came here soon has a I can…" Dracula stepped over Seth "King Seth"

"They burned my grandsons' body…they tried and almost succeeded taking both Alisha and Oichi. I cannot…will not stand for this any longer…I will have all of their heads. Every last one of them…" His aura leaks out. Ronnie frowned. This was no longer the feeling of the peaceful Seth the family knew. No, this was the war time Seth. The same vampire he went to war against, who went on a one-man army killing spree against his clan, destroying nearly all of his men. 'The Vermont clan was able to awaken the sleeping warmonger King…this may turn dangerous…' Seth felt Dracula's hand on shoulder "Calm down…" Seth had slightly calm down from Dracula's aura. Jess ran back making everyone look at her. Ronnie looked at her "he has her?" Jess nodded "Oichi is safe with Orochi…" Dracula sighs softly, Jess stepped over to them "Lord Dracula…" Dracula closes his eyes "this is war with the Vermont family, they dare distracted Sakamoto's body… a Royal vampires body… burning it… they have disrespected Seth's royal family… Seth gather your family, meet me at the castle. I will contact Selena to see if she could recreate Sakamoto" Jess's eyes widen at him.

Oberon crossed his arms. "Finally. It's time to end this crap." Thalia walked over to Seth and grabbed his fist. "While I am against fighting, this is about our family…I will join you on the field." He eyes glowed pink. "They will learn what it means to go up against our family." She felt his fist relax. He sighs. "Boys, girls…go to the hospital to your mother and Takara. She went into labor during the fight." The twins gasp. "Really!? We have to go!" Naomi says grabbing Alisha's hand and running off. Marcellus quickly followed them. "Hayate, Rune, gather everyone now." His sons bow to them and run off to gather their forces. Seth grips his fist tightly. "Shawn…Keegan…your deaths will be at my hand…"

The next morning, on the 29th, Oichi woke in the hospital. She blinks and turned to see Orochi sleeping on a couch. She sat up and groans slightly from her back hurting. 'What happened…' She rubbed her chest as she started to remember yesterday's events. 'Oh…' Her eyes started to water as she realized that Sakamoto's body was no longer here. "Saki…" She sniffed, rubbing the tears that were rolling down her cheek. This woke up Orochi. He sat up with a frown and walked to the bed. Sitting down her pulled her into his chest. "I'm sorry…If I could bring him back I would…" He rubbed her back. Oichi rubbed her eyes. "How is everyone…" "Fine. Alisha is being guard 24/7 now. In and out of school. Marcellus refuses to leave her side. Shamir and Scott as well." "And Takara…?" "She had her daughter yesterday among the chaos." Oichi smiled. "Can I see her?" Orochi nods.

Walking over to the side he grabbed a wheelchair that made her frown. "A wheelchair!?" "Don't give me that…your still weak." Oichi pouted as he picked her up and put her in it. "I hate wheelchairs…" "Yes, yes…" The door was opened by a wolf guard. Until the matter with the Vermont clan was settled, Seth had order only wolf and demon guards to be around Oichi from now on.

Orochi pushed Oichi down the hall and stopped at an open door room. He pushed her inside to see Takara sitting up holding a pink bundle. Yaris was sitting beside her with Andrew sleeping on him. Takara looked up and smiled widely. "Mama!" Oichi smiled as Orochi pushed her over to the bed. "Congratulations sweetie." "You wanna hold her?" Takara asked. Oichi nods. "Please?" Takara handed her the bundle. Oichi smiled down brightly. "My third grandbaby… Umiko…" Umiko has short pink hair. Her eyes were closed until Oichi touched her cheek. She started to open her eyes. Oichi chuckled looking at her. "Oh my…" Umkio has pink and blue eyes but as she stared up into Oichi's eyes they turned fully pink. "Seems like someone has some hidden power. My cute granddaughter. Welcome to the family." She smiled sweetly at her and saw sparkles in her eyes. "And there it is. Your famous baby loving smiles." Yairs says. Oichi laughed. "Babies do love me after all." Takara smiled. "You think…dad is happy?" "Oh yes, I can see him now cuddling her and spoiling her but don't worry, your uncle Ross will do a lot of that in his place." Takara smiles. Oichi sighs with a soft sigh. 'I may have lost your body Saki but you will still remain in my heart always and forever…'
