Scene Change: Kuoh Town: Home

Ichigo drove out of the Garganta and arrived outside his house in Kuoh Town. Everyone got out of the car and began to unload their luggage out of the car. Ichigo walked inside and opened the door to see Masaki sitting down and watching some TV.

"Ichigo!" Masaki said as she stood up.

"Hello Kaa-san," Ichigo said as he went to hug Masaki. Moka and the others began to carry their luggage inside the house.

"So Ichigo... who are your friends?"

"Everyone, this is my mother Masaki. Masaki, this is my girlfriend Moka, her sister Kahlua and our daughter Elizabeth." Ichigo said. Masaki nodded. It took her a few seconds to realize the last part of Ichigo's statement.

"Wait... DAUGTHER!"

"Hi... Obāsan [Grandmother]." Elizabeth said. Masaki looked at Elizabeth carefully before looking at Moka, then at Ichigo. She could see Elizabeth has both features from Ichigo and Moka.

"Hello, my kawaii magomusume [granddaughter]!" Masaki said as she grabbed and began to squeeze Elizabeth. Surprisingly, Elizabeth tried to hug Masaki back. This hug lasted for a few seconds before Masaki and Elizabeth let go. Masaki turned to Ichigo. "Besides introducing me to my granddaughter and your friends, what are you doing here?"

"All three of them are moving in with us."

"I see..."

"Moka and Elizabeth are going to going to school with Yuzu and Karin."

"What about Kahlua?"

"Before I answer that, can I ask you a question?"

"Sure."

"While I was gone, what were you doing for the past week?"

"Well... I just got back from visiting the Gremory estate. During that time, I decided to open up another small heath clinic."

"Don't you need a medical license for that?"

"I do. I talked with Sirzechs and we decided to make a new identity for myself. I'll be known as Kurosaki Misaki; Kurosaki Masaki's long-lost younger sister."

"Wouldn't some people question your overall existence still?"

"If people ask, I would remind people that Kurosaki Masaki was adopted by the Ishida Family."

"What about the lack of necessary paperwork?"

"While I was in the underworld, Sirzechs agreed to help me acquire all the necessary paperwork needed to set up a medical clinic similar to the one in Karakura Town."

"I see. That's great then. Kahlua could be your assistant nurse."

"Oooh. I wanna do that." Kahlua said; excited about the idea.

"Are all of them part of the peerage?" Masaki asked.

"I am."

"Peerage?" Moka asked. Ichigo summoned out the briefcase and quickly explained to Moka and Elizabeth the peerage.

"So basically, the peerage is a spiritual connection to you and the rest of the members."

"That also gives you a slight power boost to some or all of your abilities," Ichigo added.

"So what piece will I be?"

"Just like your sisters, you will be a Pawn."

"Why? Wouldn't a Rook be a better piece for me?"

"At first glance, a Rook piece would be better for you. However, due to your untrained magical abilities, I believe that a Pawn piece will provide more benefits."

"What about Elizabeth? Will she join the peerage?"

"When she is older."

"Aww," She whined. "I wanna join too."

"Elizabeth, you will be allowed to join when you're older."

"But... But."
"No buts."

"Fine," Elizabeth said as she crossed her arms and looked away from Ichigo. Ichigo cracked a small grin as he pulled out a pawn piece and placed it on Moka's chest and slowly pushed it in her chest. The pawn piece disappeared into her chest. Moka could feel something strange happening. She could feel a mental connection that never existed before.

"How do you feel?"

"I feel fine."

"Are you sure?"

"I am."

"Kaa-san why are you talking to yourself?" Elizabeth asked.

"What are you talking about? Ichigo asked me how I feel."

"But he didn't open his mouth," Elizabeth replied. Moka turned to Ichigo.

"I'm speaking through the peerage connection."

"Interesting."

"It is," Masaki said.

"You're in the peerage?"

"You're not the only one in the peerage," Kahlua said.

"You two?"

"Although I am not there, I am also a part of the peerage," Akua said.

"Akua-neesan?" Moka replied.

"Yes, Moka dear?"

"Where are you?"

"I am currently somewhere in southern Japan investigating something for Yasaka-hime."

"Why?"

"It was something that I did to avoid getting in trouble with Yasaka-hime."

"I get to be Masaki's assistant while I live here," Kahlua added.

"I see…" Moka said.

"Anyways, Kaa-san how is the development of your clinic?" Ichigo asked.

"Not so good."

"How come?"

"Every time I think about the design, I keep on thinking about the one in Karakura Town."

"… Why don't you make it similar to the one in Karakura Town?"

"I just… don't want to be reminded of the past."

"I see… What about this." Ichigo pulled out a sheet of paper and began to do some draw a rough sketch of his idea.

"But Ichigo, your design will be too big for the house."

"No problem, I can ask Sirzechs to add another floor to the house. That way we can dedicate the first floor for the clinic while the second, third and fourth floors will be where we all will live."

"Fine. What about the medical equipment?" Masaki asked. Moka noticed that this discussion will not end for a while.

"Ichigo, we're all going to explore the town," Moka said.

"Ok, Moka. Make sure all of you are safe." Ichigo replied as they continued to discuss the overall idea for the new Kurosaki Clinic. Eventually, Ichigo and Masaki arrived at a compromise in regards to the overall design of the new Kurosaki Clinic. Ichigo picked up his phone and dialed Sirzechs's number.

"Hello Ichigo." Sirzechs said.

"Hello Sirzechs, I was wondering if I could hire some devils to rebuild our home."

"Sure. Do you have any idea about the final results?"

"I have a sketch of the final product."

"Good. Can you send me that photo?"

"Sure." Ichigo took a photo of the final design and sent it over to Sirzechs. "Did you receive it?"

"I did. I will get some devils to work on it tonight."

"Tonight? Do we need to move somewhere else?"

"No need. I looked at the final product. I would just need to construct the new floor level and add a set of stairs to connect all the new levels."

"I see. How much will that cost me?"

"Nothing."

"Sirzechs. I want to pay you for this."

"Ichigo, my mother already agreed to pay for it."

"Very well, you win."

"Any other improvement you want us to do?"

"I'll get you back on that."

"Very well. Oh by the way, whenever you are available, can you come over here?"

"Why?"

"Odin has asked me to remind you that Loki's sentence to Hell is almost done."

"Shit I forgot about him. I'll give him to you tomorrow."

"Ok. See you tomorrow Ichigo." Ichigo hung up the phone and walked over to Masaki; who was reading a nursing magazine, and updated the situation to her. Masaki hugged Ichigo tightly and began to kiss him each side of his cheeks. The front door opened. Masaki ignored the door. Ichigo looked to see that it was Yuzu and Karin.

"Ichi-nii!" The girls cried out as they ran over and joined the hug. Ichigo remembered that he needed to plan out the dates for the girls.

"Ladies," Ichigo said. The girls let go of Ichigo. "I need some alone time to plan out something." All the ladies looked puzzled but didn't question Ichigo as he walked inside his room, closed the door and made sure it was locked. Ichigo spent the next hour planning out his day-long date for each girl in the peerage that is available right now.

Scene Change/Time Skip

Yuzu and Karin went to their respective rooms and began to do their homework. Masaki decided to prepare dinner in the meantime. Eventually, Moka, Elizabeth, and Kahlua returned from their exploration of Kuoh Town.

"Welcome back. How was your short trip?" Masaki asked.

"It was good," Moka replied.

"We had fine at the park didn't we?" Kahlua said.

"We did. We did." Elizabeth said. The three of them went to take a bath.

"I need to ask Ichigo if he can modify the shower system for us." Moka thought while she set up the bath for them. After the bath, they all heard Masaki calling everyone down.

"Everyone dinner!" Slowly everyone came down to dinner; including Ichigo. Everyone sat down and began to eat dinner. Everyone shared some small talk but saved for the bigger stories after dinner. Soon dinner finished dinner and the dishes were washed and set out to dry. Everyone soon congregated to the living room with a pot of tea ready.

"Good evening everyone, I want to start this family meeting off by letting you know tonight we will have some devils constructing the new Kurosaki Clinic on the first floor and adding another floor above us for more guests in the future," Ichigo said.

"Wouldn't we need to leave for the time being?" Yuzu asked

"Normally we would but, Sirzechs said that we don't need to."

"Ok."

"Now then, does anyone need any other additions to the house?"

"Maybe an underground training area similar to the one at Urahara Shōten?" Karin suggested.

"Ok. I'll send the request to Sirzechs." Ichigo said as he made a note to himself. "Anything else?"

"Can you set up another shower system for us vampires?" Moka asked.

"Shit. I forgot you guys need a special shower system." Ichigo began to write another note.

"Language!" Masaki commented.

"Anything else?"

"A bigger kitchen?" Yuzu asked.

"Sure. Anything else?" No one else replied. "Alright, this first matter is done. The next topic of discussion is an apology to all of you." Ichigo stood up and made sure to face all the people present. "I want to apologize to all of you. The reason why I am apologizing to all of you is that I spent a lot of time focused on finding Moka and Elizabeth." Ichigo raised his hand; stopping the girls from trying to comment. "To rectify this, I spent the last hour planning a date for each of you.

"WHAT!" The girls shouted in shock.

"Tomorrow will be a date with both Yuzu and Karin. The next day will be with Masaki. After Masaki, it will be with Yasaka. If Eu and Ophis come back-" Suddenly a rainbow color portal opened up as Ophis, Eu, a girl with green hair and a man with long silver hair fell out of the portal.

"EU! OPHIS!" Yuzu cried as herself and Karin got up and ran over to their peerage member.

"Are you alright?" Karin asked. Yuzu began to use her healing powers on them.

"Yes," Ophis said as herself and Eu got up.

"What happened?" Yuzu asked. Before Eu or Ophis could reply, Ichigo interrupted them.

"Let them tell their story in a bit. Allow them to recover and allow these two to get the needed medical attention that they need." As Masaki walked over and helped carry the strangers to two unoccupied couches. There Masaki and Yuzu began to diagnose the two patients.

"Back to what I was saying earlier…. After Eu and Ophis's date, Moka will be up next."

"Wait Ichi-nii, how come tomorrow you're taking both of us out on a date while everyone else is going individually. Karin asked.

"The reason why is because there are certain events that I know both of you are interested in to go to."

"What event?" Yuzu asked.

"You'll find out when it's your turn." The girls glared at Ichigo. Ichigo ignored their glares.

"Now then, the last topic for the night… let's share what we did for the last couple of weeks. Eu, do you want to start?"

"Very well," Eu said. Ichigo sat down as Eu stood up.

"My story starts right when I left you guys. I went to see my friend in the underworld." Eu said.

Flashback: Right after what happened in Chapter 17

Eu teleported to a rural village in the Underworld. Despite many of the Devils building many modern buildings; a small portion of the population preferred the traditional style of buildings before the Civil War. Eu was dressed in a black cloak with a hood over her head. Many people ignored her as she walked towards a building. She could hear the loud sound of metal hitting metal. Eu arrived at the source of the sound. She looked up to see a sign above the door. The sign reads, The Abyss Maker. She rolled her eyes at the store's name as she opened the door and entered the shop. She could see all types of weapons and armor on display. In the middle of the shop, there is a counter and another door that has a sign that said (Staff Only) on it. Suddenly the shop went silent.

"I'M COMING!" Someone said from the back. The door opened and Eu could see someone walking out. She has light tan skin with long red hair and gold eyes. She has a very large bust that reminds Eu of Akeno. Despite working with hot metal she is wearing only simple underwear consisting of short shorts and an undershirt. "Hello. Welcome to the Abyss Maker. How may I assist you, stranger?" She asked.

"Hello. Is Naegleria Nebiros available?" Eu asked.

"You're speaking to her. Who are you?" Naegleria asked. Eu smiled a bit.

"Despite how long we have known each other, you forgot who I am?"

"I apologize but I am not sure I know who you are."

"What if I do this?" Eu pulled out her notepad and began to write on it.

"No… Only one person I know would pull out a notepad… but she's currently missing and unable to speak." Eu stopped writing and turned the notepad to Naegleria.

"Do you remember me now?"

"Eucliwood!?" Naegleria said. Eu smiled as she put her notebook away and pulled off her cloak.

"Do you miss me?" Suddenly Eu's face was smushed by something large and soft.

"Eucliwood! I've missed you! What happened!? How are you able to speak normally!? Did you lose your powers?" Eu struggled to break free from Naegleria's hug. "Eucliwood?" Eucliwood!" Naegleria realized what she was doing to her. "Sorry, Eucliwood." Naegleria let go of Eu. Eu took a few deep breaths.

"Please don't do that again."

"Anyways, do you want anything to drink?"

"Sure. Do you have some tea?" Naegleria took Eu to the back of her shop. Eu arrived at a living room with Naegleria preparing a small pot of tea. She brought the pot of tea down and placed it by a nearby table. "So Eucliwood, how are you?"

"I'm fine."

"Fine? Eucliwood, I remember when we were still a part of the Seventh Abyss. You would pretend to be mute due to your fear of your powers and I built that armor to help further control your powers."

"I know. I met a friend who helped me obtain absolute control of my powers. He also altered the enchantments on the armor to slightly reduce my power to retain the illusion that I don't have any powers."

"A friend?" Eu sighed as she told her close friend about Ichigo and her adventures with him for the time being. "So Eu… what are you doing here right now?"

"I just want to visit you."

"I see."

"Hey, do you know what happened to the other members?"

"Meringue Salveria is the only one I know anything about. "

"Where is she?"

"She is currently running a popular ramen shop in Lilith."

"Now. I knew she loved to eat ramen but I didn't think she would turn to cook it."

"Last time we talked, she told me that she ended up traveling all over Japan trying many different Ramen. She found a few chefs who were willing to teach her how to make Ramen."

"Wow."

"Do you want to go get some?"

"Sure. Can I invite a friend to join us for Ramen?"

"Sure. Is it that young man you told me about?" Eu blushed a little before quickly replying.

"No."

"Aww Poo. I wanted to meet him."

"Can I invite another friend to me?"

"Sure."

"Hey, Ophis."

"Yes, Eu? Do you need anything?"

"What are you doing right now?"

"Sleeping."

"Do you want to eat some ramen with me?"

"… Can we get some ice cream after?"

"Which type?"

"All of them."

"Sigh. Fine."

"Yay. Be there in a few seconds."

"Ok."

"She is coming right now." Suddenly a portal made out of rainbow lights appeared as Ophis walked out of the portal.

"Hello," Ophis said.

"Eu. Who is this?" Naegleria and Ophis asked.

"Ophis this is Naegleria. Naegleria this is Ophis." Eu said. Naegleria walked over to Ophis and gave her a big hug. Eu quickly got Naegleria to let go of Ophis before she gets annoyed. "I'm going to close up my shop. Be right back." Naegleria walked out of the living room area. Eu and Ophis waited patiently for Naegleria to lock up her shop. Once that was done, Naegleria opened up a teleportation circle and took them to the ramen shop.

Still in Flashback: Scene Change: Lilith

The three appeared across the streets from a ramen shop. The building has a traditional Japanese building structure. A major contrast compared to the buildings surrounding the Ramen shop. The Ramen shop is surprisingly three stories tall. Despite this major difference, the Ramen shop has a major line waiting outside the shop. Near the top of the building, there is a sign that reads The Ramen of the Abyss.

"Is there a trended between members of the Seventh Abyss?" Eu asked.

"What do you mean?" Naegleria

"Your blacksmithing shop and this ramen shop both are named in honor of the Seventh Abyss."

"I guess? I never thought about it. I just liked the title."

"I see a long line. I want food now." Ophis said as she raised her hand and began to gather up some energy.

"Ophis please calm down," Eu asked. Ophis glared at Eu before allowing the energy to safely disperse. Naegleria lead Ophis and Eu towards the front of the line. The trio ignored the crowd glaring at the trio as they walked in front of the line. The bouncer noticed the three walking towards him. The bouncer sighed. The three stopped right in front of him.

"Good day ladies. How may I be of service?" The bouncer asked.

"Hello, can I see the head bouncer?" Naegleria asked.

"You're speaking to him."

"Can you call Meringue Salveria out here for a moment?"

"Sorry, mam. But, she is not available at this time."

"Oh. Tell her that two members of the Seventh are here."

"What do you mean the Seventh?"

"How old are you?"

"I'm just two-hundred years old."

"I recommend you comply or you might be losing more than just a job," Eu said as she slightly glared at the bouncer. The bouncer got his phone and dialed his boss's number.

"What is it?" Meringue asked.

"I apologize boss, but I have a customer here who asked me to pass you a message."

"Which is…"

"She said that two members of the Seventh are here."

"What…"

"That is exactly reacti-"

"What is their description?"

"Um… one of them is red-haired with an abnormally large breast."

"What about the other one?"

"The other one is a short girl with purple hair."

"Is she wearing medieval-looking armor?"

"Actually yes that is correct."

"Sent them into the VIP room! Take care of anything they want!" She yelled as she hung up on her head bouncer.

"Well? What did she say?"

"Follow me." The confused bouncer said as he led them inside the ramen house and up a few floors. They arrived at a private looking room. There were four chairs set up and four menus on the table. The three sat down and waiting for their fourth member. A few minutes later, the door opened everyone could see another girl walked in. She has long mint-green hair that is braided. Her eyes purple and are slightly slanted upward. She is very slender and quite tall.

"Hello, Naegleria and Eucliwood." She said.

"Hello Meringue," Eu said. Meringue's eyes widen as she looked around the room to see if anything happened. She sighed in relief when nothing happened. "What happened?"

"Why didn't the usually crazy stuff happen when you speak?"

"Because I managed to get help and control my powers."

"I see…" Meringue sat down at the table. The group of four ordered various ramen dishes and began to eat.

"This is good," Eu commented.

"It is." Naegleria agreed.

"They made it the best they could since they were likely told by the servers that I was eating it. If they don't reach my expectations, I would have fired them immediately." Meringue said as she resumed eating her ramen. They all resumed eating in silence. Soon they all ate the ramen they ordered. They even brought up different types of Japanese Ice Cream. In a few minutes, even that was finished. Ophis thanked them for the meal before disappearing in another portal made out of rainbow colors. While Naegleria fell asleep. The server brought up some warm sake for Meringue and Eu to drink and discuss their lives away.

"So Meringue, do you have any ideas what happened to King of the Night, Dew Weiss or Durak?" Eu asked.

"I know what happened to King." She sipped her sake drink. One of the servants immediately refilled the glass. "He was finally killed."

"Really?"

"I know it was something I was not expected. However, I managed to see his body. His body was stabbed in the chest by some sort of weapon. Serafall brought his dead body to me since I was the only former member of the Seventh Abyss she could contact. According to eyewitnesses, he was stabbed by a golden spear. The eyewitness also mentioned that they could detect holy energy was radiating from the spear."

"So what did you do with his body?"

"I cremated his body and placed it in a small penguin-shaped vase."

"I see. He did like his penguins."

"Yes, he did."

"What about Dew Weiss or Durak?"

"Those two are missing."

"Really?"

"Those two idiots managed to write letters to me every month. They wrote about their exploration of the other underworld connected to ours by venturing through Hell."

"That was possible?"

"Normally no but, somehow they did. At some point, they heard rumors about the location of an artifact called the ארון הקבורה של החוטאים [Coffin of the Sinners]."
"What is that?"

"According to legend, there used to be nine members called Deadly Sins (1). All nine members were arguing about which side to join for the Civil War. Lucifer, Belphegor, Mammon, Leviathan, Beelzebub, Satan, and Asmodeus wanted to join the rebels. However, Belial and Astaroth didn't want to join the rebels. This forced all nine to fight. Belial managed to recruit seven other strong devils to join the fight. Astaroth was killed in the conflict but, Belial managed to create the ארון הקבורה של החוטאים [Coffin of the Sinners] and sealed Lucifer, Belphegor, Mammon, Leviathan, Beelzebub, Satan, and Asmodeus in it. Belial used a ritual to drain a portion of the original seven powers and merged it with her seven recruits. This ritual transformed them into weaker versions of the original seven. At some point in the civil war, Belial killed her Copy Lucifer and merged with her. She decided to keep the name Lucifer. Despite being copies of the original, they were very strong. At the end of the war, the Copy Leviathanrevealed the existence of the הקבורה של החוטאים [Coffin of the Sinners] However, Belial/Lucifer managed to hide it. She left clues for her followers to find it if needed."

"Really?"

"Yes. The four Maou decided to keep this knowledge a military secret."

"So what happened to Dew Weiss and Durak?"

"They managed to find the clues to the הקבורה של החוטאים [Coffin of the Sinners]."

"Really?"

"That is according to their last letter."

"Last letter?"

"I haven't heard of them since."

"How long was that?"

"About a week ago."

"I think they were captured, interrogated for the info and possibility killed."

"Possible…" They sat down and continued to drink.

"In their last letter, they wrote to me a copy of the clues."

"Really? Did you solve them yet?"

"I haven't solved them yet."

"Can I see them?"

"Sure." She stood up and left the room. A few minutes later, she brought out the notes and a map of the Underworld. Eu looked at each of the riddles. Naegleria eventually woke up and returned to her Blacksmith Shop. Meringue was kind enough to give Eu her room while she worked on the riddle. Eu spent the next couple of days working on the riddles. Eventually, Eu figured out the riddle.

"I GOT IT!" Eu yelled out. A few minutes later Meringue ran up to Eu's room.

"You did?"

"I did!"

"Where is it?"

"It's located in Lucifaad."

"Of course she would choose the hiding place to be her capital."

"Let's go!" With that Meringue and Eu opened up a teleportation circle and the two left to Lucifaad.

Still in Flashback: Scene Change: Lucifaad

The two arrived at the ruins of the former capital of the Satan territory ruled by Lucifer.

"So where she hid the הקבורה של החוטאים [Coffin of the Sinners]?"

"Over here," Eu said as she led Meringue towards a cave.

"I'm sorry Eu. I am." Meringue thought as she cast a spell behind them. They journeyed deeper into the cave. Eventually, they arrived at a cavern. At the center of the cavern appeared to be armor in the shape of a blue dog.

"Is this the end?" Suddenly the cavern closed up and torches began to light up. The fire from the torches slowly gathers and flows towards the armor in the middle. From the armor's eye sockets, white eyes opened up. The firedog let out a howl.

"Welcome to the קברו של החוטא [Grave of the Sinners]." The firedog said. "I am here to protect the הקבורה של החוטאים [Coffin of the Sinners]. Travelers, you are the first ones who ever reached me. You have solved all of the riddles but one. Travelers are you ready for the final riddle?"

"I am." Eu step towards the firedog.

"Very well. The final riddle is as follows: What is my name?" The firedog asked.

"What?" Meringue shouted. She ran over to Eu. "Eu do you know the firedog's name?"

"Maybe," Eu said as she thought about it for a few seconds. She thought back to all she remembered about Belial and then the fake Lucifer. "According to these records, Belial represented the sin of Vainglory or excessive vanity. While Lucifer represents the sin of Pride. What is the connection… Unless… It can't be that simple." Is your name Belial?" The firedog grinned.

"It is." Belial the firedog said. "You have answered all the riddles. My duties are completed." With that, the firedog grew brighter and destroyed its blue armor and extinguished itself. Leaving only the torches still lit. Eu walked over to where the blue armor used to lie. She saw a large vase. It was tightly wrapped from top to bottom with bandaged and inked with various Hebrew writing, Nordic runes, and Egyptian hieroglyphics. Eu reached towards the box only for her hand to be hit by a whip. She turned around to see Meringue holding her whip at Eu.

"So, decided to betray me."

"I'm so sorry Eucliwood. But I have too." She rushed towards Eu with her whip. She swung it at Eu. Eu sighed.

"Whip disappears," Eu commanded. As commanded, Meringue's whip disappeared from Meringue's hand.

"Shit." Meringue said as she threw a few fireballs at Eu.

"Extinguish." The fireballs immediately extinguished but Eu couldn't see where Meringue was. Suddenly Eu was kicked in the back of the head. She looked to see Meringue managed to grab the sealed vase. Meringue tried to run towards the exit but Eu stopped her.

"Meringue stop moving." With Eu's command, Meringue was forced to stop; frozen in place "You will talk and answer truthfully the following, why did you betray me." Meringue tried to resist Eu's command but she wasn't strong enough. Her mouth opening up she began to explain what happened.

"A small group of the Satan Fraction captured both Dew Weiss and Durak. They killed Durak and sent a warning that if I don't find the הקבורה של החוטאים [Coffin of the Sinners] they will kill Dew Weiss." By this point, Meringue was crying.

"Do you know where they are at right now?"

"I do. They have a hidden base located somewhere in Agreas."

"Do you have any knowledge of who kidnapped Dew Weiss?"

"They called themselves Qlippoth."

"Do you have any information about Qlippoth?"

"According to some rumors, Qlippoth was a subdivision of another organization."

"What is this organization called?"

"Khaos Brigade."

"Oh really?" Eu sent a message to Ophis. "Ophis, dear. Please come in."

"Yes, Eu?"

"Did you destroy Khaos Brigade?"

"I did."

"Somehow a small subdivision of Khaos Brigade still lives on under the name Qlippoth."

"Then I will destroy them."

"Wait. Allow me to come too."

"Why?"

"A friend of mine is currently a prisoner with them."

"Very well."

"Meringue, despite lying to us, we will help you rescue Dew Weiss."

"Really!? Thank you!" Suddenly a rainbow portal opened up and Ophis popped out.

"Ready to go?" Ophis asked the two.

"I am," Eu said. Meringue nodded. Ophis turned to Meringue.

"I want you to think and remember where Qlippoth is." Meringue tried to remember as many details she could about Qlippoth's location. Suddenly Meringue could feel something in her mind; like a snake was slithered inside her mind. She looked to see Ophis's eyes are glowing. Meringue pushed all the information about Qlippoth toward the 'snake'. A few seconds later, Meringue could fell the snake slithered out of her mind.

"I have the location," Ophis said.

"Great let's go!" Eu said as she grabbed the הקבורה של החוטאים [Coffin of the Sinners]. Ophis raised her hand as a rainbow portal opened up. The three walked inside the portal.

Still in Flashback: Scene Change: Agreas: Qlippoth's Base

In a well-decorated office room, we see two people talking with each other. One person was sitting down on a chair, drinking wine. He appears as a middle-aged man in his 40's with dark long silver hair and hazel eyes. He has a short beard with the matching silver. While another man was walking around the office. He appears as a young handsome looking man appearing in his early twenties with silver hair that is tied in a braided hairstyle and wears a silver robe with detailed accessories.

"What are we going to do about those brats and my stupid sister? They managed to stop our important operations." The younger man said as he continued to pace around the room.

"Relax Euclid. You will be able to get your revenge later on." The middle-aged man said as he sips his wine.

"But…"

"Euclid, do you wish to argue with me?" The middle-aged man said as he glares at Euclid.

"No Rizevim-sama." Euclid said.

"Good. What is the status in regards to the הקבורה של החוטאים [Coffin of the Sinners]?"

"She has not informed me of any progress as of this moment." Before Rizevim could reply, a rainbow portal opened up as Ophis, Eu and Meringue walk out of the portal.

"OPHIS!" Rizevim yelled as he charged towards the group. "Euclid kill the prisoner!"

"Yes Rizevim-sama." Euclid ran off.

"No, you don't!" Meringue yelled as she chases after Euclid. Eu jumped between them and blocked Rizevim with her scythe.

"So Ophis, you managed to find us." Ophis ignored this as she fired an energy disk at Rizevim. He jumped out of the way. The energy disk hit a wall and destroyed a large chunk of the wall. Rizevim fired a few energy blasts at Ophis and Eu. Ophis dodged them while Eu sliced them in half with her scythe. Rizevim was getting ready to charge at Ophis when suddenly he heard something.

"Rizevim stop," Eu commanded. Rizevim stopped moving. Ophis fired an energy blast at Rizevim. Before the energy blast could hit Rizevim, someone threw a chair at the energy blast, successfully stopping the attack. Everyone looked at the newcomer.

"Samael!" Rizevim yelled. He appears to be over 200 cm [≈78.7 inches]. His upper body appears similar to a body builder's body; nice hard abs and evenly tanned skin. However, his face appears as if he had facial surgery with a kitchen knife. His face is littered with scars. His mouth is filled with fangs. While his lower body appears similar to an Asian dragon.

"DRAGON!" Samael yelled as he charged at Ophis. Ophis fired energy blasts at Samael. He effortlessly dodged the attack. Samael opened up his mouth and fired a blast of venom at Ophis. Ophis dodged the attack; hitting the furniture in the office. The attack melted through the furniture. Ophis could feel something she never felt before. Her instincts were warning her to avoid that venom at all costs. "Oh no, you don't!" Samael fired more of the venom at Ophis. Ophis dodged the attacks.

"Come on Hellscythe-sama, you should join us!" Rizevim yelled as he continued to attack Eu. Eu dodged or blocked Rizevim's attack by using her scythe.

"No." She replied. This continued until a struggling Meringue carried an unconscious man into the room. He appears standing at

"EU! OPHIS! I got him!" Meringue yelled.

"PUSH!" Eu yelled as Rizevim was pushed by an invisible force; slammed into a nearby wall. Ophis managed to hit Samael with an energy blast. With Samael being distracted by her attack; Ophis regrouped with the other.

"SAMAEL!" Rizevim yelled. Samael managed to regain his barring began to charge towards the girl.

"Ophis NOW!" Eu yelled. Ophis opened up a dimensional portal. Samael realized that he had one shot before they leave. Samael took a deep breath and fired a large stream of venom at the girls. Ophis saw the attack coming towards them. She cast a barrier to protect the girls while they drag the unconscious man to the portal. However, the venom began to eat away at the barrier. "OPHIS!" turned her back as she ran to the portal. Her barrier finally broke and Samael managed to hit Ophis with his venom as she fell into the dimensional portal and it closed up.

Flashback Ended: Scene Change: Kuoh Town: Kurosaki Household

"I see," Ichigo said; understanding the full situation right now. Ichigo turned to Masaki and Yuzu who are inspecting the patients. "What is their current status?"

"Ophis is in some sort of pain. She is gritting her teeth and sweating. As for the young man with wolf ears, he is suffering from some bruises and starvation." Masaki reported.

"Very well, for now, we'll leave them there to prevent making their injuries worst."

"Very well." Ichigo turned to Eu, where is the הקבורה של החוטאים [Coffin of the Sinner]?"

"I have it here," Eu said as she handed it to Ichigo. "What are you planning to do with it?"

"I'm going to have it stay in my mindscape until I can safely unseal it," Ichigo replied as the הקבורה של החוטאים [Coffin of the Sinners] disappeared into his mindscape.

"Now then, Kaa-san, why don't you tell us what happened to you on your trip?"

"Sure." Everyone sat down except for Masaki. "It all started one day while I was walking around Kuoh Town.

Flashback: Scene Change: Kuoh Town

Masaki Kurosaki was purchasing some groceries and walking back home. When she was suddenly attacked by a nearby stray devil. The stray devil appeared like a werewolf but with devil wings on its back. Masaki dropped her groceries and was about to summoned her Quincy Shield; when suddenly the stray devil was hit by a lightning bolt. Masaki turned to see Rias and Akeno standing there in their Kuoh Academy uniform.

"Are these the devil students Yuzu and Karin told me about?" Masaki thought as she observed the two.

"In the name of the Gremory Clan, I Gremory Rias will destroy you!" Rias said.

"Wait… Gremory? Isn't that the same clan Zeoticus and Venelana are a part of… did they finally have another child?"

"Akeno finished this!"

"My pleasure," Akeno said as she summoned another lightning bolt and destroyed the stray devil. "Looks like that's it." Akeno turned to see Masaki watching the fight. "Rias, we have a witness."

"Oh no. We need to remove her memory of this." Rias said.

"Now just hold it for one second," Masaki called out. "I would rather not have anyone try to remove my memories or anything!" Masaki transformed into her modified Quincy uniform. Her attire is a variation of the Sternritter's typical white uniform, consisting of the order's signature hooded-cloak, a thigh-length trench coat, knee-high boots, a miniskirt, and black stockings with red trim on her gloves and boots. On her right hand she has her human size Quincy Shield pointed at Rias and Akeno.

"Wait. A Quincy!?" Akeno recognized that insignia from the stories of the One-Thousand Year War her mother told her.

"You're aware of me?"

"I am. My mother is a Shinigami who is stationed here."

"I see. I am not here to attack any of you. I am just here to get some answers."

"Very well," Rias said.

"But Rias."

"No Akeno, we can use this." Rias turned to Masaki. "If you power down, then we will talk."

"I already know both of you can attack me right now so I'm going to remain like this."

"Very well. My name is Gremory Rias and this is Himejima Akeno."

"My name is Kurosaki Masaki."

"Wait. Kurosaki? Any relation to Kurosaki Ichigo or Kurosaki Yuzu or Kurosaki Karin?" Rias asked.

"Of course I am related to them. I'm their mother!"

"Oh…" Rias said.

"Do you happen to know someone called Zeoticus and Venelana?"

"How do you know Otou-sama and Okaa-sama?"

"Would you believe me if I said that I'm friends with them?"

"I don't believe you," Rias said.

"Call them then."

"Very well," Rias said as she pulled out her phone and dialed her mother's cell phone number. A few seconds later, the call connected.

"Hello Rias, is there anything going on? It is very unusual for you to call me at this time." Venelana said.

"I understand Okaa-sama but I have a very strange question for you."

"What is it Rias?"

"Do you and Otou-sama happen to know a person called Kurosaki Masaki?" Venelana didn't reply for a few seconds. Rias could hear Venelana yelling in the background.

"Honey!"

"What!"

"Do you have a photo of Masaki!?"

It should be in one of our Honeymoon albums!" Rias could hear something, likely other photo albums, being dropped in the background of the phone call. A few minutes later, a slightly out of breath Venelana replied.

"Does she have brown eyes, fair skin, and long, light, wavy brown hair down to her back?"

"Um… yes she does."

"Did she say she is related to Ichigo-kun?"

"She said that he is her son."

"Where are you right now?"

"I'm in Kuoh Town right now; on the street where Issei lives."

"Stay there. Your father and I are coming over there."

"Wait!" Rias shouted to her phone. But it was too late; Venelana has already ended the call from her side. "Otou-sama and Okaa-sama are coming over here!"Rias told Akeno.

"Yuzu. Karin. Can you girls hear me?"

"Yes Kaa-san?" Yuzu said.

"I'm listening Kaa-san," Karin said.

"Are both of you busy right now?"

"Not really, were just walking home right now." Yuzu replied.

"Good. I need both of you to come over here. I just met your devil friends."

"Ok," Karin said.A few seconds later, both Yuzu and Karin showed up.

"Hello everyone." Yuzu said.

"Yo," Karin said.

"Hello Yuzu. Karin." Rias and Akeno greeted.

"Hello my girls," Masaki said as she hugged Yuzu and Karin. Suddenly a red seal appeared on the ground next to Rias. The red seal expanded and formed the Gremory Clan Cress. The red seal died down as Zeoticus and Venelana appeared.

"Okaa-sama. Otto-sama." Rias said as Akeno bowed down.

"Hello, Rias and Akeno. Now tell me where is Masaki."

"I'm over here," Masaki said. Zeoticus and Venelana turned to see Masaki having her arms around her daughters' shoulders.

"Masaki!" Venelana walked over. Masaki unwrapped her arms and hugged her friend.

"Hello Masaki," Zeoticus said. Masaki let go of Venelana as he gently grabs Masaki's left hand. Masaki remembered formal protocol as she gave him her hand. Zeoticus took her hand and gently kissed the knuckle. After that, he stood up.

"So Masaki, according to Ichigo, he said that you died. Yet we see you here alive and well. Did Ichigo lie to us?"

"Technically, Ichigo didn't lie about that."

"Really? What happen?" Venelana asked.

"It all starts when I was born. I was the last surviving member from a pureblood Quincy line or an Echt Quincy. When I was around Yuzu's and Karin's age, I encountered an experimental Hollow created by Aizen. This is when I first met Isshin. He was struggling against this Hollow. So I jumped in getting involved. I ended up killing the experimental Hollow. But, I was infected by the Hollow. Urahara and Isshin were able to save my life. However, I was no longer considered an Echt Quincy anymore. Instead, I was considered a Gemischt Quincy, or half-blood. Then many things happened on June 17th, 1994. On that day, Yūhabahha activated a Quincy technique called Auswählen. It steals all the powers of all the Gemischt Quincy. Due to being infected by the Hollow, I was considered a Gemischt Quincy. So I had my powers stolen. To make matters worse, Ichigo and I were attacked by a hollow. That is how I died. Due to me using my Quincy abilities, I ended up being sent to Hell. I wandered around Hell until one day, I had felt a strange feeling. Something was telling me to go to the fourth layer of Hell. From there Ichigo managed to save me from Hell."

"I remembered when we first met, you only had the bow. But now you have a white uniform and a giant shield. What happened?" Zeoticus asked.

"Somehow Yūhabahha discovered my existence and kidnapped me to their secret base. From there I was forced to see visions of how powerful Yūhabahha was. He told me that Ichigo was his target. I decided to join him to protect Ichigo. I ended up having to fight Ichigo."

"No." Venelana gasped.

"Oh yes. That bastard used me as a little secret weapon against Ichigo. We fought against each other. In the end, you know what he did to protect me." No one answered. Even Yuzu and Karin were curious. Ichigo didn't tell them what happened in the Quincy War. "That stupid overprotective son of mine threw me in the one place Yūhabahha couldn't get to me."

"Oh no… he didn't," Venelana said, realizing the answer to Masaki's question.

"Oh, but he did. My overprotective son threw me into Hell to prevent Yūhabahha from using me. At the end of the fight, Ichigo released me from hell, fully restore my Quincy powers and allowed me to join his peerage."

"Wow. I guess Ichigo will end up ruling the world." Zeoticus said. Venelana and Masaki glared at Zeoticus who decided now was a good time to look at some trees.

"Anyways Masaki, I was wondering if you would like to visit the Underworld." Venelana offered.

"Um… I'm not sure."

"Go ahead Kaa-san." Yuzu said. Masaki looked over to her daughters.

"We both noticed that you spent a couple of days bored out of your mind. Go visit some friends." Karin added.

"What about you girls?"

"Don't worry. We'll be fine. If we need help, we can always call for Rias." Karin said.

"Very well. I'll accept your offer. Just allow me to pack up some stuff to take with me to the Underworld."

"Ok," Zeoticus said. Everyone walked back to the Kurosaki household. Masaki handed Yuzu the groceries she bought as she packed a small bag for her trip. Soon Masaki was ready. Zeoticus once again cast the red seal of the Gremory Clan and Masaki left to the underworld.

Still Flashback: Scene Change: Gremory Estate

Masaki, Zeoticus, and Venelana appeared in the throne room of the Gremory Estate.

"So, that was your daughter," Masaki asked.

"Yes. I believe she was born almost two decades ago." Zeoticus said.

"So how are Sirzechs and his wife? Any kids on the way yet?"

"They do have a child, a little boy name Gremory Millicas," Venelana said.

"Now. When was he born?"

"I think he was born almost a decade ago." They continued talking, ignoring the various maids and butlers bowing at them, until Masaki see a little boy who she assumed must be Millicas. He has short crimson red hair. "Likely from Sirzechs." He also has red eyes. "He must have inherited from Grayfia."

"Welcome to the Gremory Estate. My name is Gremory Millicas, the Second Heir of the Gremory Clan. Who are you?"

"My name is Kurosaki Masaki."

"Good job on your greeting Millicas."

"Oba-sama."

"Yes, Millicas."

"Yay! Can I go and hang out with my human friends?"

"Very well."

"Yay!" Millicas yelled as he ran back to his room to change.

"Make sure you tell your mother!"

"Such a ball of energy. Isn't he."

"Yes, my son is an impressive ball of energy," Sirzechs said. Masaki turned around to see Sirzechs walking towards them. "Hello, Kaa-san. Tou-san. Who is this lady?"

"To think almost two decades ago we met and you forgot about me," Masaki said.

"Um…" Sirzechs tried to remember who she is.

"This is our dear friend Kurosaki Masaki." Venelana said.

"Any relation to Ichigo, Yuzu or Karin?"

"I'm their mother."

"Oh."

"Sirzechs what are you doing here?" Zeoticus asked.

"I can't just come over and visit my home Tou-san?"

"You can. But normally you are working right now. Isn't that right Grayfia?" Sirzechs turned around and could see Millicas leading a beautiful woman appearing to be in her early twenties, with silver hair and red eyes. Her hair, which flows down to her back, features a long braid on each side with small blue bows at the ends, while the rest is let down, ending in twin braids. She is wearing a blue and white French maid outfit with long sleeves and a white maid headband over her head, with red lipstick.

"Um… Grayfia… what are you… doing here?"

"Millicas-sama came over to see me. On his way to see me, he saw you sneaking around. When he saw me, he told me about seeing you sneaking around and Venelana-sama permitted him to go out with his friends."

"Um… Grayfia honey. I was just taking a break and I was greeting Masaki. You remember Masaki right?" Sirzechs pointed at Masaki.

"Hello, Masaki. We could talk later. For now, I need to discipline this man-child."

"Don't worry. I understand. Isshin was also a man-child that I needed to discipline often."

"Like mother and son." Grayfia thought as she grabbed Sirzechs's ear and began to drag him back to his office.

"OW! OW! Ow!" Sirzechs's cries of pain could be heard echoing from the hallways.

"Anyways…" Zeoticus said; regaining Masaki's attention, "Let's show you some recordings of Ichigo we have."

"Alright then." Masaki followed Zeoticus to a personal theater room. Masaki sat in the middle while Venelana sat on her left and Zeoticus sat on her right.

"Before we play the recording I want to give you some background in regards to the situation. With that Zeoticus and Venelana explained to Masaki Rias's marriage contract with Riser and the significance of the Jigoku no Kōtei to the Devils.

"I understand," Masaki said. With that Zeoticus began to play the recording of Rias's rating game. She was impressed with Rias's strategies against Riser; especially since Riser outnumbered her two to one. Masaki was angry at Riser's actions towards Issei. She was also impressed by Issei's stubbornness and determination against Riser. It reminded her of Ichigo. Suddenly Masaki could see the Gates of Hell appearing in its purple unholy glory. She could see the Gates of Hell open up and Masaki could see Ichigo and someone else standing on a Kushanāda as it marched out of the Gates of Hell. She could see how many of the Devils bowed to Ichigo when he summoned the Jigoku no Yoroi. She was impressed with Eucliwood Hellscythe's entrance. Many of the Devils were either shocked or scared. Masaki was also impressed at how quickly Eucliwood managed to end the fight.

"Why did many of the Devils react like that when Eucliwood Hellscythe, revealed herself?"

"Oh. Of course, you would forget to explain to Masaki the Seventh Abyss." Venelana said.

"Sorry, Masaki. Allow me to explain. You see Eucliwood Hellscythe is part of a group called the Seventh Abyss. They are a group consisting of seven of the strongest beings that inhabit the Underworld at that time. This group was a group no one wanted to mess with. Especially Eucliwood Hellscythe-sama. She has a scary ability."

"What ability?"

"She can alter reality to whatever she wants by just saying it."

"Wow." The recording replayed to show how effortlessly Eucliwood defeated Riser.

"During that time she was unable to control her powers, which resulted in her wearing that armor to restrict her powers. Despite being unable to speak, she was still dangerous. Eventually, Ichigo founded her and assisted her to control her powers and gave her the ability to speak once more. I also believe she is in your peerage."

"Really?" Masaki decided to try and talk to Eucliwood by using the peerage connection. "Hello, Eucliwood?"

"Hello. Who is this?"

"Oh. I'm sorry. I am Kurosaki Masaki. One of Ichigo's pawns."

"Oh. Hello. I am Eucliwood Hellscythe. One of Ichigo's queens."

"I see."

"Is there any reason why you are contacting me?"

"Oh. I was just talking to Venelana and she mentioned that you were in Ichigo's peerage so I decided to see if that was true."

"Oh. That is fine. Everyone else in the peerage agreed to call me Eu."

"Ok Eu."

"Is there anything else you need?"

"Not right now. Thank you for replying."

"No problem. We are now a family."

"Masaki? Masaki?" Venelana said as she waved her hand in front of Masaki's face. Suddenly Masaki grabbed Venelana's hand.

"Yes Venelana?" Masaki replied.

"I'm sorry. I called your name a few time and you didn't respond. So, I waved my hand to get a reaction."

"Oh. I was just talking to Eu through the peerage link."

"The peerage link? What is that?"

"According to Ichigo, it is a mental connection we all have in Ichigo's peerage."

"Really?"

"You sound skeptical."

"I am because I have never heard this before."

"It might have to do with Ichigo."

"Maybe." With the footage done, Zeoticus escorted Masaki out. For the next few days, Masaki visited Sirzechs and Grayfia. Sirzechs introduced Masaki to his peerage. During her stay ended up meeting Azazel and Michael. Masaki summoned her shield and hitting Azazel in the head for some… questionable comments. Upon seeing Masaki's Quincy Shield, Michael asked Masaki's permission to perform some tests upon her. Michael discovered that all the Quincy techniques are derived from Angel's Holy Energy Manipulation. Michael looked at Masaki's Quincy Cross to discover a small gem in the center of the cross. That gem is a fragment of a crystallized light attribute; the same thing that Valper Galilei created with his experiment.

After that, Masaki was invited to watch a Rating Game. Sirzechs explained to Masaki what a Rating Game was. She remembered watching Rias's and Riser's rating game. This one was once again Rias's rating game. This time it is versus a girl name Sona Sitri; who is the younger sister to Serafall. Unlike the previous Rating Game she saw, this one was less gruesome. She could see how intelligent these young Kings were. Serafall also mentioned to Masaki that they're friends. She also founded it funny that all the members who were defeated this Rating Game were the only ones who survived the Rating Game with Riser.

After the Rating Game, there was a small party to celebrate Rias' victory against Sona. Masaki noticed that despite Sona's defeat she remained friends with Rias. She slowly met everyone from both peerages. Many of them were nervous when they found out that Masaki was Ichigo's mother and friends with Sirzechs, Grayfia, Zeoticus, and Venelana. During this small party, she brought up the idea of recreating her family clinic, the same one she started with Isshin. Sirzechs gave his work to help recreate the clinic. At the end of the small party, Masaki decided that she stayed here long enough. Everyone said good-bye to her as Grayfia escorted Masaki back home.

Flashback End: Scene Change: Kurosaki Household

"Looks like you had fun in the Underworld," Ichigo said.

"I did. But, one of these days, you need to gather all the peerage members here so we can meet then all." Masaki commented.

"Very well. I'll make a note of that. Now then, Yuzu and Karin, want to tell us what you two did?"

"Sure. Ichi-nii." Yuzu said.

"Might as well," Karin said.

"It all started a few days after Kaa-san left.

Flashback Start: Scene Change: Kurosaki Household

Yuzu and Karin were making dinner for themselves. At this time, Masaki, Eu, and Ophis already left on their adventure. While they cooked, Yuzu looked outside and noticed something falling from the sky.

"Hey, Karin." Yuzu said as she poked Karin's arm.

"What?" Karin looked at Yuzu.

"Something is falling from the sky." Yuzu and Karin looked outside and could see something falling and crashing in the nearby forest. "Let's see what it is."

"Why?"

"Curious to see what fell from the sky."

"It's probably just a rock."

"What if it isn't a rock?" Yuzu began to pout towards Karin. Karin tried to resist Yuzu's puppy dog eyes. Slowly Karin's will began to weaken

"Fine!" Karin said as she looked away from Yuzu.

"YAY!" With that, the two girls put on a jacket and went hunting for the fallen object in the nearby forest.

Flashback Still: Scene Change: Nearby Forest

Yuzu and Karin entered the forest. Karin noticed that various birds were flying away from an area. Karin led Yuzu to the potential ground zero. They had to jump over a few fallen trees. Eventually, they reached ground zero. Yuzu and Karin could see a giant crater. Around the craters were many trees destroyed by the object. Yuzu and Karin carefully slid down the giant crater. Yuzu and Karin were amazed at what they saw. In the center of the crater, there was some sort of egg. The egg was mostly white with some teal lines.

"Karin we should take the egg."

"Why?"

"Because it crashed here. All alone with no one to take care of it when it hatches."

"No."

"But… Karin."

"Yuzu. We don't know what is inside that egg. It could be dangerous."

"I know… but we can train it to be good." Karin glared at Yuzu while Yuzu once again gave Karin the puppy-dog eyes. Unlike before, Karin lasted a good while against the eyes. However, Karin couldn't win against Yuzu's puppy-dog eyes.

FINE! We'll take the egg."

"YAY!" Yuzu tackled Karin into a hug.

"Hey! Get off of me. I don't think we are the only ones who saw the egg falling. We need to grab it and get out of here." Karin pointed out. Yuzu quickly grabbed the egg and the two quickly ran home.

Flashback Still: Scene Change: Kurosaki House

Yuzu and Karin straight towards their house. While they were running, they accidentally crashed into someone. Karin managed to wrap herself around the egg to protect it.

"Hey!" The other person yelled. Yuzu and Karin looked to see that they crashed into Issei.

"Issei-senpai." Yuzu said.

"Oh. Hey girls. What's going on?"

"Nothing," Karin replied. Issei looked and noticed the white egg in their hand.

"Is that an egg?" Issei asked.

"It is," Yuzu admitted.

"Issei. Ask them where they get the egg." Ddraig said.

"Why Ddraig?" Issei asked.

"Because I can sense that that egg is some sort of dragon."

"Are you sure?"

"I am."

"Ok. I'll ask them." Issei replied before looking at the twins.

"Um… where did you get that egg?"

"We found it," Karin replied.

"I understand that you two founded it. But, I am asking you two where did you find that egg."

"Outer space," Yuzu admitted.

"YUZU!" Karin yelled.

"Outer space?" Issei asked.

"It fell from outer space." Karin clarified.

"I see…" Issei replied. "Are you satisfied Ddraig?"

"I am and at the same time scared."

"Why?"

"If what those girls are saying is true then, we have a big problem."

"Why?"

"Dragons who come from space can be very dangerous. They may have abilities which make them superior to dragons of this planet."

"Kind of like Superman from those shows."

"Exactly, Superman originated from another world. He was considered the strongest hero on Earth."

"I will tell the girls this."

"Very well. Knowing Ichigo-sama, his sisters will be very protective of the egg."

"I know." Issei ended his mental discussion with Ddraig.

"You are done with your mental discussion yet?" Karin asked.

"What!?"

"You're doing the same face when we have mental discussions." Yuzu said.

"Oh... I am done."

"So what were the results of your mental discussion? Karin asked.

"Ddraig believes that the egg you two are holding could be a dragon egg."

"A dragon egg?" Karin said.

"From space?" Yuzu said.

"Yes. As strange as it sounds, I am confident in Ddraig."

"So what should we do?" Karin asked.

"Let's go talk to Rias to see if she could take us to the Familiar Forest to meet with Zatouji."

"Who is Zatouji?" Yuzu asked.

"He is one of the Familiar Masters who take care of the Familiar Forest."

"I see," Karin said. With that, Issei lead the girls back to his house. Issei opened the door to see Rias wearing only an apron holding a ladle in her hand.

"Hello, Master. Do you want to eat dinner first? Or take a bath? Or take me?" Rias asked; unaware of whom was standing behind Issei.

"Um… Rias?"

"Yes, Master?" Rias looked up to see who was behind him. Rias immediately began to blush in embarrassment.

"Um… hi guys?" Rias greeted.

"Hey Yuzu."

"Yes, Karin."

"I have an excellent idea."

"Is it taking photos of them and blackmailing them for a favor in the future?"

"Exactly." Yuzu and Karin began to smile at the two. This wasn't a friendly smile. No. This simple was two hungry lions who just found two injured gazelles lying there waiting for the lions to feast on them. They both took out their phones and began to take photos of Rias and Issei.

"STOP THAT!" Rias yelled as she tries to cover herself. Issei jumped in to assist in covering Rias.

"Do you think we have enough?" Karin asked.

"Probably." Yuzu replied. The girls closed their phones and placed it back in their pockets.

"Hey," Rias said, trying to glare at the girls. Her face is bright red, like her hair from the embarrassment. Her arms were crossed on her chest. "What was that for?"

"It is a punishment for not being aware of who is ringing the doorbell," Karin said.

"It is also punishment for showing off that inhuman body to everyone," Yuzu added.

"Fine. What do you want?"

"We need your help to contact Zatouji." Yuzu said.

"Why?" Rias asked.

"Because we found this egg and we need someone to help identify what creature is in this egg," Karin said as she showed Rias the egg.

"Ddraig believes that the egg they have is a dragon egg," Issei added. Rias sighed.

"Very well. Normally we would have to arrange an appointment to see Zatouji or the other Familiar Masters on the full moon. Luckily, not many people seek them out on any other time of the month." Rias said as she moved away from the door. Issei, Yuzu, and Karin entered the house and gave the proper greeting. They sat down in the living room while they wait for Rias to contact Zatouji. While they waited, Issei's Boosted Gear appeared.

"Manifest!" The Boosted Gear said as Ddraig appeared in possessed Scale Male.

"Hello, Ddraig. Are you here to properly see the dragon egg?" Issei asked.

"I am," Ddraig answered before turning to Karin. "May I see the dragon egg?" Karin handed the egg to Ddraig. "Despite living for so long, I never had seen this design on a dragon egg."

"Design?" Karin asked.

"Yes. Design." Ddraig said. "The style on the dragon egg shows a few things. The majority colors on the dragon egg show what color the dragon might look like. Base on the colors on this dragon egg, it is possible that this is a white dragon with some green on its body."

"But that is not it." Yuzu said.

"Correct. The colors on the dragon egg could also indicate the dragon's element affinity."

"Interesting," Karin said. Soon Rias walked down the stairs and entered the living room followed by the rest of her peerage.

"I manage to contact the Familiar Forest. They told me that Zatouji is not available at this time. However, I managed to arrange to speak with a Familiar Master who specialized in Reptilian Familiars." Rias said.

"Good. Let's go." Karin said as she stood up.
"Not so fast," Rias replied.

"What is it?" Yuzu asked as she two stood up.

"I want you two to delete those photos off your phones."

"Why?"

"Because those photos are too embarrassing!" Rias complained.

"It's not my fault you decided to dress in something so scandalous and saying those lines." Yuzu said.

"While showing off your beautiful body to everyone," Karin added. Rias glared at Yuzu and Karin. Everyone else in the room had different reactions.

"So that was Rias's plan. Looks like someone should be taught not to try and trick their best friend." Akeno thought.

"I know I don't look good like Rias-senpai but I will still try!" Asia thought.

"Pervert… But maybe Issei might like it?" Koneko thought.

"Oh. Issei wants someone more forward… Very well I will try harder!" Xenovia thought.

"Wah! Issei likes Rias more than me!" Rossweisse thought.

"I don't know if I should feel sorry for him or not." Yuuto thought.

"I don't know how I should feel…" Gasper thought.

Issei knew that just like their brothers, all three girls could be stubborn on certain points. Issei sighed as he decided to intervene. "Hey girls?" All three girls turned and glared at Issei. "Look, it's getting late and the Reptilian Familiar Master will not be there forever so let's agree." With that Issei became a mediator for this argument. Eventually, an agreement was reached. Yuzu and Karin agreed to delete the photos if Rias helped them speak to the Reptilian Familiar Master and purchase any needed materials to take care of the creature in the egg.

"Hey guys, do you want to go with us to the Familiar Forest?" Rias asked.

"No thanks. I got to go to that dinner you arranged for me." Akeno replied.

"Hey guys, do you want to go with us to the Familiar Forest?" Rias asked.

"We have to take to take care of those contracts that you transferred to us from Akeno," Koneko said while Asia, Xenovia, and Rossweisse nodded. Rias nervously chuckled as she remembered making a special reservation for Akeno and her family at Akeno's favorite restaurant to get her out of the house. While asking Asia, Xenovia, and Rossweisse to take care of Akeno's contracts to keep them out of the house. Akeno had to call the restaurant and pushed their reservation back slightly due to some complications with her Kaa-san. Rias didn't realize that Akeno's contracts didn't start till much later. With a slight sigh and large pot of revenge began to stew, Rias cast a special teleportation seal for non-devil passengers. The seal glowed as it teleported everyone out of Issei's house and to the Familiar Forest.

Still Flashback: Scene Change: Familiar Forest

In an empty clearing in the Familiar Forest, a red seal began to appear and glow red. The seal glowed brighter and suddenly went out. In exchange we see Issei, Rias, Yuzu, and Karin standing there. The Familiar Forest is filled with its usual fog, giving it a mysterious vibe.

"So where is this Reptilian Familiar Master?" Karin asked.

"I'M HEEEERRRREEE!" Someone yelled from above the trees. The group of four looked up to see someone swinging on vines. Reptilian Familiar Master in question appears female. She has purple hair, brown eyes, and dark skin. She has on a cream-colored top with a pink collar and cuffs, a pink skirt with a big ribbon, white leggings which are colored yellow at the ends of the legs and pink and white shoes with yellow straps. She soon let go of the vine, did a couple of summersaults before landing right side up in front of the group. "TA-DA!" She said. Yuzu and Issei energetically clapped, enjoying the small show. While Rias clapped politely. Karin couldn't due to caring for the egg. "Thank you. Thank you. I'll be here all evening."

"So what is your name?" Karin asked.

"Oh. I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Iris. The best Reptilian Familiar Master ever!" Iris said. Everyone just stared at Iris.

"Buchou, does all the Familiar Masters appear to be insane?" Issei whispered.

"I… think so," Rias replied.

"So who here is Gremory Rias?" Iris asked.

"I am."

"So what is your question that needs my expertise?"

"We founded this egg and were wondering if you could identify what creature it is. We believe that it is some sort of reptilian." Karin said.

"I see. Can I hold the egg?" Iris asked, all serious. Karin carefully handed Iris the egg. Iris looked at the dragon egg for a few seconds before handing it back to Karin.

"So. What is inside the egg?" Karin asked.

"Honestly, I don't know. The eggshell is too thick for me to fully tell what is in the inside."

"I see…" Yuzu said.

"However, I can tell that this egg is a dragon egg."

"Why?"

"Dragon eggs are one of the few reptiles that lay such large eggs."

"Ok then. How do we take care of it?" Karin asked.

"I recommend you to go to Banzai Bazaar and enter Pocket Monsters. You can talk to the staff there and find an appropriate incubator for the egg. After that, you need to read these books." Iris said as she wrote down a list of books for them. Once she was done writing, she handed the list to Yuzu and Karin.

"Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them by Newt Scamander." Yuzu read.

"From Egg to Inferno: a Dragon-Keeper's Guide." Karin read.

"Yep. Those books will help you possibly identify what dragon you have and how to take care of them." Iris said.

"Thank you." Everyone said.

"No problem. If you need help with that dragon, feel free to call me!" Iris yelled as she jumped up a tree and began to swing away by using the vines. The group shrugged their shoulders as Rias prepared another teleporting seal for them. This time the destination is Banzai Bazaar.

Still Flashback: Scene Change: Banzai Bazaar

The red seal once again appeared. This time it appeared in an empty alleyway in Banzai Bazaar. They walked around Banzai Bazaar. Yuzu and Karin had to resist the temptation to explore Banzai Bazaar and focused on finding the needed equipment and books to take care of their dragon. They managed to find a store called Pocket Monster. They noticed that they had a lot of different types of equipment for all types of familiars. They decided to enter it. They walked in to see a young lady with have brink pink hair and fair skin. She had on plain pink robes with a short apron, white pantyhose, and pink shoes. On the right side of her robes, they could see a nametag with the name Joy on it.

"Hello, welcome to the Pocket Monster. How may I help you?" She asked.

"Hi. We were wondering if you have anything for dragons." Karin asked.

"Why?" Joy asked. Karin revealed the dragon egg for her to see. "Is that the dragon egg in question?" She asked as she pointed to the egg.

"It is," Karin asked.

"If I can ask, where did you find it?"

"It fell from the sky and landed in a nearby forest," Yuzu answered.

"I see…one second." Joy said as she went to the back. The group could hear Joy calling someone. "Hello?"

"Hey, Jenny this is Joy."

"Oh, Joy. What can I do for you?"

"I was wondering if anyone reported a missing dragon egg.
"…Joy are you serious right now?"

"I am." It was a few seconds before she replied.

"As of right now, no one reported a missing dragon egg…Why?"

"Because I just had a group of people walk into my shop with a dragon egg and asking for stuff to take care of said dragon egg."

"I see… I'm on my way."

"Ok. Thank you." Joy ended the phone call. Everyone pretended to not have heard the phone call. Joy soon walked back up to the counter.

"So do you have anything for us to take care of this dragon egg?" Karin asked.

"I do. But, I need an Auror to come here."

"Why?" Yuzu asked.

"Because a dragon egg does not simply fall from the sky out of nowhere. Dragon eggs are heavily regulated items." Joy explained.

"And this is where I come in." Someone as the front door opened up. They could see someone with dark teal hair and fair skin. She is wearing a purple robe with red trim, a sky blue chest piece, gold shoulder pads, black shoes, and white gloves. On the center of her robes, she had a golden badge with three stars on it. "Hello everyone. My name is Auror Jenny." She said. "Is that the dragon egg in question?"

"It is." Joy replied.

"Hand it over." Auror Jenny said.

"For what reason?" Karin asked.

"Because I will be taking it back to the Dragon Reserves it to be properly raised and cared for."

"Why?"

"What do you mean 'why?"

"I am asking you why you are thinking of taking something that we found and isn't stolen property," Karin said as she held the egg tighter. However, Auror Jenny ignored Karin's question.

"I am now ordering you to hand over the dragon egg."

"I will not," Karin said.

"Very well, all of you are arrested for Failure to Obey the Lawful Order of an Auror. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you." Auror Jenny said as she brought out her wand bound the group of four. Karin managed to continue holding the egg. Auror Jenny pulled out a phone. "Hello, this Auror Jenny. I need three backup Aurors to assist in escorting prisoners in holding cells." A few seconds later three more Aurors appeared. They wore similar robes to Auror Jenny. However, their badges have two stars on it. The Aurors all grabbed a hold of the group and apparition away.

Still Flashback: Scene Change: Japanese Ministry of Magic: Holding Cells

The group arrived at the Japanese Ministry of Magic. The group of Aurors escorted them to a locker room. Auror Jenny left the group to the hooded Aurors. Issei was separated from the girls. "Please place all of your belongings in these lockers." One of the hooded Auror said.

"How will we know that our belongings won't be stolen once we place it in the lockers?" Karin asked.

"If your belongings are stolen while you are in our custody, it is our responsibility to replace it if possible. If not then we will reimburse you the value of the belonging." Another hooded Auror replied. All of them complied as instructed. They placed all of their personal belongings in the lockers. Karin's locker expanded to include the dragon egg. Once that was done, they were escorted to holding cells. Once all of them were in the holding cell, the other Aurors left them alone with some books. Once they left, Issei broke down and began to panic.

"OH, MAN! I'm in prison! We're never getting out!" Issei looked over to see the girls not worried. "How are you three not worried like I am?"

"Issei. Please be quiet." Rias said.

"HOW! WE'RE IN PRISON!"

"Karin. Could you please?" Karin nodded as she punched Issei in the face; slamming him into the back wall.

"Ow. What was that for?"

"It was for you to stop being an idiot," Karin said. Yuzu walked over and inspect Issei to see if he received any injuries from Karin's punch.

"Why? Shouldn't you be worried about being sent to prison?"

"If we were ordinary people… maybe but you forget who my nii-sama is." Rias said.

"As well as who is our brother." Yuzu and Karin replied. It took a few seconds for Issei's mind to realize who Rias, Yuzu, and Karin are referring to.

"Oh…" At this moment Auror Jenny walked towards the holding cell, carrying a clipboard with her.

"I am going to ask you a few questions; all of you have the right to remain silent during this questioning. I will be doing it here since these questions are just general basic questions. Do you understand?" Auror Jenny asked. The group of four nodded. Auror Jenny placed a clipboard on the table and pressed a kanji on the clipboard. "Very well. Auror Jenny will begin the basic question process." She pointed at Karin. "This is prisoner number one. What is your name?"

"My name is Kurosaki Karin."

"Where is your hometown?" Karin didn't reply. "Where did you find the dragon egg in question?"

"I saw something crash into a nearby forest so I went with my sister into the forest. Eventually, we found a crater with the dragon egg in it."

"What was your purpose at Pocket Monster?"

"I was there to buy needed supplies to take care of a dragon egg."

"This concludes the questioning of prisoner number one. Next is prisoner number two." Auror Jenny pointed at Yuzu. "What is your name?"

"My name is Kurosaki Yuzu," Yuzu answered. She answered all of Auror Jenny's questions exactly how Karin answered it.

"This concludes the questioning of prisoner number two. Next is prisoner number three." Auror Jenny pointed at Rias. "What is your name?"

"My name is Gremory Rias," Rias replied.

"Where is your hometown?"

"Kuoh Town."

"Where did you find the dragon egg in question?"

"I didn't find it."

"What was your purpose at Pocket Monster?"

"To pay for the necessary supplies needed to take care of a dragon egg."

"Oh. That is nice of you to do. Why are you paying for it when they could?" Rias didn't reply. "This concludes the questioning of prisoner number three. Next is prisoner number four." Auror Jenny pointed at Issei. "What is your name?"

"My name is Hyoudou Issei," Issei answered.

"Where is your hometown?"

"Kuoh Town."

"Where did you find the dragon egg in question?"

"I didn't find it."

"What was your purpose at Pocket Monster?"

"To help my Buchou and my friends."

"This concludes the questioning of prisoner number 4. This is Auror Jenny ending the questioning." Auror Jenny touched a rune on the clipboard to turn the audio recording off. She took the clipboard and left the prison area. Once she left, they sat there and waited or read one of the books. Twenty minutes later they could see an out of breath Auror Jenny running towards their gate. She arrived at their prison cell and immediately opened the door.

"Why are you out of breath Auror Jenny? Did something bad happen?" Rias asked, trying not to smirk at Auror Jenny's mistake. Auror Jenny could tell from Rias's tone that she was aware of what happened but decided to ask just to insult her even more.

"Yes. It appears that I made a mistake and all of you are being released immediately." Auror Jenny said, not allowing her emotion to show.

"Oh. What mistake did you make? According to this Auror Handbook, you followed all the instructions to the teeth."

"Rias-san that is enough." Yuzu said as she looked at the Auror, Jenny. "Can you escort us back to Pocket Monster?"

"I was instructed to escort you back to the Pocket Monster Center."

"Ok then. Let's go." Auror Jenny and the group of hooded Aurors escorted them back to the locker room to retrieve their belongings. Karin made sure that the egg was real before leaving the locker room. Once they were outside the Japanese Ministry of Magic, everyone apparition back to Pocket Monster Center.

Flashback Still: Scene Change: Pocket Monster

Joy was sweeping her store floor when suddenly everyone apparition right in front of her and scaring her.

"HEY!" She yelled at the Aurors.

"Sorry for coming abruptly but they're innocent." Auror Jenny said.

"Wait. The story that they found the dragon egg in the forest was real?"

"It was." Auror Jenny said.

"I see…" Joy said, slightly nervous about the impending discussion she is going to have with them.

"Well good luck Joy." Auror Jenny said as the Aurors apparition away. Joy sighed as she turned to the group of four. "So, what can I help you?"

"As well as some books about Dragons," Yuzu added.

"We do carry a few books about dragons." Joy said as she took them to a bookshelf on the far side of the shop. She pulled out a few books on dragons and handed them to Yuzu. Yuzu looked and recognized the two books Iris recommended for them. "Anything else I can help you with?"

"We were wondering if you sell an incubator for a dragon egg," Karin said.

"Ah… those will be difficult."

"Why?" Yuzu asked.

"Dragon Incubators are normally sold only for Dragon Keepers."

"You said normally."

"I did. Dragon Incubators are expensive due to them having to be built by hand. Not only that, if the dragon keeper isn't careful when the Dragon egg hatches, but the baby dragon also breaks the Incubator. Due to this Dragon Keepers and the Incubator Company have an agreement in place to reduce the price." Joy explains.

"So how much is a Dragon Incubator for a normal person?" Rias asked.

"We have to sell a single Dragon Incubator for 250,000 ¥ [2,048.68 dollars] (3)."

"I see…" Yuzu said slightly nervous about the price.

"What about this, add in the five books and we will pay the 225,000 ¥ [1843.81 dollars] in cash," Rias said.

"CASH!" Joy was shocked. Rias opened her wallet and pulled out exactly 225,000 ¥ to show Joy she wasn't lying. "Sure." Joy said. Rias placed the money on the tray. Joy quickly counted all the money Rias placed on the try. With the money counted, Joy went to the back and brought out the Dragon Incubator. The Dragon Incubator was shaped like a lantern. Joy gently twisted the top of the incubator and lifted the top off. Joy then lifted the glass around the incubator off. "Can I get the egg to please?" Karin handed her the dragon egg." Joy placed the dragon egg at the center of the bottom. She then placed the glass and the top of the incubator back on and screwed it back on. Joy held both the top and bottom as she handed it to Karin.

"Thank you," Karin said. Karin could feel the incubator slowly getting hot. "Why is the incubator getting hot?"

"Dragon eggs need to be kept at a certain temperature at all times. The incubator is charmed to let out an alarm sound when the egg is about to hatch." Joy mentioned.

"Is there any way to return the dragon incubator to you when we are done with it?" Yuzu asked. "If the incubator remains completely undamaged then we will buy it back from you for 168,750 ¥ [1382.86 dollars]." Joy said.

"I see. Thank you." Yuzu and Karin said. Rias once again cast the special teleportation seal. The seal glowed as it teleported everyone out of the Pocket Monster and back to Issei's house.

Still Flashback: Scene Change: Issei's house

Everyone arrived back to Issei's house safe and sound.

"Thank you for helping us Rias." Yuzu said.

"Ya. Thanks for the assist." Karin added.

"No problem," Rias said.

"Rias, do you have anyone currently available?" Yuzu asked.

"Why?"

"We want someone to watch the incubator just in case the egg begins to hatch while we're in class."

"Smart idea. If you bring it with you to school, I can hand it over to Gasper to watch over it during class."

"Good idea," Karin said. With that, Yuzu and Karin turned to the door and was about to walk out when suddenly they heard an "Uh hem." They turned to see Rias crossing her arms and staring at them. "Forgetting something?" Yuzu and Karin realized that Rias didn't forget the photos.

"Dang it." Yuzu and Karin said as they both pulled out their phone. But then they thought of a cruel idea. They quickly text Issei all of the photos as they deleted it off of their phone. So that way Issei gets a little reward for helping them and they still retain a copy of the photos. They showed their empty camera to Rias. She nodded in acceptance and they left Issei's house. For the next few days, Yuzu and Karin would sneak the incubator to Occult Research Club and leave it to Gasper while they attend their classes. After school, they would go back to the Occult Research Club and pick the incubator up. This continued for the next week.

Flashback Ended: Scene Change: Kuoh Town: Kurosaki House

"So, where is this incubator?" Ichigo asked.

"It's currently in my bag," Karin said. When suddenly they heard a loud chime coming from Karin's bag.

"The egg!" Everyone realized. Karin quickly pulled out the incubator. She quickly and carefully pulled the Dragon egg out of the Incubator and placed it on the table. Valiona and Kisara appeared behind them, interested to see the dragon egg hatching. Slowly cracks began to form around the dragon egg. Soon the top of the dragon egg broke off. To reveal a little dragon. The little dragon is white with green wings. On the baby dragon's chest and shoulders there are four purple pieces on it (4).

"Rah." The dragon baby roared.

"Aaahhh." The ladies said adoring the baby dragon. The dragon slowly took a shaky step forward, lost balance and fell. Yuzu reached down to help it when Kisara stopped her.

"Hey." Yuzu said as she looked at Kisara.

"She needs to learn how to take care of herself," Kisara explained.

"She? How can you tell?"

"She smells vaguely like us." Yuzu decided to trust her word as they looked back to see the baby dragon standing back up and walking towards Valiona. Valiona opened her arms up for the dragon baby to try and walk to. It took the baby dragon a few tries before she arrived in Valiona's arms. She gently hugged the baby dragon as she lifted her in the air.

"So what are you going to name her?" Ichigo asked.

"Um…" Yuzu and Karin said as they think of a name for their baby dragon.

"What about Hoshi [Star]?" Karin suggested.

"No," Ichigo replied.

"What about Hoshikuzu [Stardust]." Yuzu suggested.

"Maybe… what about Xīng Chén [Stardust]?" Ichigo suggested.

"Xīng Chén? What does that mean?" Karin asked.

"It also means Stardust but it's in Chinese," Ichigo explained.

"Oh."

"I like Xīng Chén," Kisara said. Slowly everyone else nodded in agreement.

"So welcome to the family little Xīng Chén," Valiona said. The newly names Xīng Chén let out a small roar. Everyone spent the next few minutes taking turns holding Xīng Chén.

"Um… when is it safe for us to do the Familiar Ritual?" Karin asked.

"I'm not sure," Ichigo replied.

"Maybe we can ask Rias." Yuzu suggested. The three nodded as they continue watching Xīng Chén. A few minutes later everyone sat back to the couch. Xīng Chén is currently back in Valiona's arms. Ichigo quickly told everyone about what happened at Yōkai Academy. Masaki looked at the time and realized that it was starting to get late.

"Everyone, it's time to go to sleep," Masaki said. Everyone got ready to go to sleep. While Ichigo went and called Sirzechs again.

"Hello, Ichigo. Anything else to add for the construction team?" Sirzechs asked.

"I do. First off is changing the shower system in the house." Ichigo said.

"How come?"

"It's because I have four people who are pure vampires…"

"Who has a weakness to pure water."

"Correct."

"So what do you want me to do?"

"I was thinking if you add an option to the shower that allows the water to be mixed in with tea leaves before they are shot out of the showerhead."

"It's possible but do you want everyone to have the same thing?"

"I don't think so. But it should be an option in the bathroom."

"I'll see what I can do about that. Anything else?"

"Yuzu requested a bigger kitchen due to more people living here."

"That's fine. Anything else for the house?"

"No for right now."

"While I was working on the legal paperwork necessary for the Kurosaki Clinic, a major issue appeared.

"Even bigger than creating Kurosaki Masaki, long lost identical sister to Kurosaki Masaki?"

"Even bigger than that."

"What is it?"

"It's about the Kurosaki Clinic in Karakura Town."

"What about it?"

"It…"
