The next morning Yuko woke up with a massive yawn. She looked next to her, Haruo was gone. She then looked on the desk, there was a tray with a plate and food on it. She got up and walked over to the desk, there was a note on the tray, in a small glass there was an origami flower in it. Yuki grabbed the note and read it.

Yuko, I figured you'd want to start your day off with a good breakfast. Yujo, Kazuya, Umika and I are going down with you as back up while you and Glenn explore. Go explore your heritage and find out who you are and who you were meant to be.

-Haruo

Yuko smiles and sets the note down. She then sits down and starts to eat her breakfast. As soon as she's done she leans back and placed her hand on her stomach, "Man that was good..." she looked around the room, there wasn't much for her to do this early in the morning. Soon a knock came from the door.

"Yuko? This is your room isn't it? It's Glenn."

"Hm? Oh yeah! Hold on!" She got up and then unlocked the door and it slid open. "Hi!"

"Hey," Glenn said with a smile, "Here." Glenn handed her a flashlight and a pistol in a holster. "You'll need these."

"Thanks," she took the flashlight and put it in her pocket, she then wrapped the holster around her leg. "So I'm going down into the temple with you then huh?"

"Yep." He then reaches in his pocket, he then pulls out an earpiece, "You'll want this too, it helps us keep in contact with everyone else."

"That would be nice." She smiles and puts the earpiece in and turns it on. She then looks at Glenn, "Wow, you look ready to go."

"Oh yeah, I'm totally excited. When I heard we were going to Okinawa I knew I just had to explore it."

"Ok, well, let me finish getting dressed and I'll meet you outside."

"Of course."

Yuko then backed up and the door shut. She grabbed her Gotengo crew member jacket and put it on. She then sat down and got her boots on. She took a few minutes to take everything in, she then got up and then walked out into the hall and met Glenn. The two then headed out the door. As they came outside Akira had everyone else in a line. Everyone had weapons, Haruo and Kazuya each had two large pulse rifles. Akira stood there talking to everyone about the plan.

As Yuko and Glenn came down the ramp Yuko looked around at the land before her. Despite being post apocalyptic, Okinawa still retained some of its former beauty. Akira turned and looked at Yuko and Glenn. Yuko smiled and walked up to Haruo. "Are you sure you've got this?" Haruo asked,

"Yes, I'm sure." Yuko said with a nod.

"Good."

"Hey lover twins," Kazuya said looking over at them, Haruo and Yuko turned their attention to Kazuya, "Don't forget, this place is still a war zone and Godzilla could show up at any time. So let's keep the koochi-koochi to a minimum."

"If I shoot him then can I just say my gun discharged?" Yuko asked Haruo softly.

"Not in public Yuko."

"Ok."

Glenn then joined up with Yuko and Haruo, "Don't worry I'll bring her back alive." Haruo then looked at Glenn.

"If anything I'm just hoping that you come back alive Glenn." Haruo said,

"I'll try."

"Anyways," Haruo said, he turned and pointed to a trail, "The trail to the temple of the Shisa is there, follow it and it should take you to where you want to go."

"Alright," Yuko smiles, "Thank you." Haruo nodded, "Alright, let's go Glenn."

"Sweet." Glenn said, "And on the way I could tell you my origin story from the beginning."

"Oh...lovely..." Yuko said as they walked off. Yuko and Glenn walked for about fifteen minutes before they reached the temple. Once at the temple Yuko looked around the grounds, "Wow...this is beautiful."

"Mm," Glenn nodded. They looked ahead at the temple, it seemed to be made of mostly stone. Glenn looked to the top of the temple, there wasn't much there except for a creature statue. The two walked inside, they headed down a flight of stairs. They both pulled out their flashlights. After what seemed like an eternity they reached even ground. Yuko looked at all the beautiful paintings and symbols on the walls. "Hey Yuko...Tell me about this place."

"It's an old temple, that's all I know I've never been here...but, I do remember reading about different spirits."

"Spirits?"

"Yes,"

"Do they look like that?" Glenn asked, Yuko turned and looked at what he had his light shined on. There was five stone statues, four creatures around the Shisa in the middle.

"Woah..."

"Yeah." Glenn walked over to one of them, "This one looks like it was a turtle, and this one is a Lion," he said, "Only it's missing a leg, there's a dragon, and then there's this one." He then looked at the wolf statue, it had the same posture as the Shisa in the middle, "It's the only one besides the Shisa in perfect condition."

"Yeah," Yuko ran her hands along the Shisa statue in the middle, she put her flashlight in her mouth and then picked it up. "Oof!"

"Oof What?"

She tucked it under one arm and took her flashlight out of her mouth, "It's extremely heavy."

"Woah! What are you doing?!" Glenn asked looked at her,

"What?"

"You can't just pick up a stone statue!!!"

"I just did," she said, "Look, we should take this one. I'd like to take it back and study it." Glenn looked at her, he sighed.

"Fine, put it in here." He took the bag off of his back and then put it on the ground and opened it up. Yuko smiles and put the statue in the bag, "Yuko..."

"Yes?"

"Can I take the wolf one? It's in perfect condition."

"Um...Sure, why?"

"It's not for me, it's for Kairi."

"Oooh~ So you and Kairi are a thing?"

"No, I just know that she likes wolves, as well as werewolf romance novels."

"What?!"

"Yeah, I once read some over her shoulder. It's all I've ever really seen her read."

"Well that's interesting," she looked at the wolf statue, "Sure, you can take it."

"Sweet!" He stood up and grabbed the statue, he then put it in the bag next to the Shisa. He then zipped up the bag and picked it up, he grunted as he hoisted it onto his back. "Ok, let's go." Yuko nodded, they then went further and further into the temple. Yuko looked around in awe at everything all over the walls. "Yuko,"

"Hm?"

"You smell that?"

"Smell what?" She sniffed the air, "Is that...greenery? It smells like a forest...or something green."

"Yeah, let's check it out." The two of them continue to walk through the temple. They then find a light at the end of the hallway. "Hey, you hear that?"

"The ocean?"

"How is that possible, we're underground." They looked at each other and then continued to the light. It was a big doorway, they stepped through it and were suddenly in a large cove. The ocean came up to the sand and the tide moved in and out almost like the earth was breathing, healthy trees grew and some bore fruits. There was even life. Several exotic birds, and primates. "Yuko I've got the feeling we aren't in Kansas anymore..." Yuko looked around, she breathed in the air.

"This is some of the freshest air I think I've ever breathed in my entire life. Even my skin feels different."

"I know...but something tells me that this is no paradise...be alert."

They walked through the beach and everything seemed normal. They suddenly turned around as they heard some bushes move. They both grabbed their pistols and pointed them at the bushes. Pretty soon a person stepped through, her skin color was similar to that of an Islander. She wore some tribal clothes and her hair was black, she had a pink flower in her hair. She looked at them and gasped. She pointed at Yuko. "Tani!" She exclaimed, Yuko and Glenn looked at each other, "Tani! Yes yes! Come with me!" She gestured for them to follow her. Yuko and Glenn looked at each other before following her. They followed her through the jungle, "Daiyo and the others have been waiting a long time for Tani to return!"

"Wait, Wait, Daiyo who's Daiyo?"

"I am Daiyo." The woman said, "Anyways, so the last Tani princess was able to borrow powers from Caesar to give Daiyo and others her home."

"Um..."

"She said, that in twenty thousand years Tani will return to Okinawa and come here to paradise to awaken Caesar and save us from Godzilla!" As Daiyo spoke she seemed to pick up speed.

"Wait! Daiyo slow down!" Yuko said,

"There's no time! Tani must meet others!" They soon came to a stop in front of wall of massive leaves.

"Oh no...dead end..."

"Daiyo's home is secret!" Daiyo said spinning around, "Tani cannot tell anyone else of Daiyo's home."

"I promise." Yuko said with a smile, soon Glenn caught up to them completely out of breath.

"Oh god...I can't run that fast with all this stuff..." He panted heavily, "I think I need to sit down..."

"Hehe, you're really weird." Daiyo said to Glenn, "I like that." She then pulled back the leaves and then suddenly Yuko and Glenn's eyes widened as a village was revealed to them. Inside was several women and children and very few men. Yuko and Glenn followed Daiyo inside. Daiyo cupped her hands around her mouth and blew into them, that made a noise which was heard throughout the whole village. Soon the sound was heard back, "They know you're with Daiyo, come on!" She then took them with her through the village. Glenn looked around at all the women of the village, they all smiled at him and giggled. Glenn occasionally waves back, and sometimes gives a nod.

They then came to a temple, they went up the steps and went inside. "Ama!" Daiyo said running over to an elderly woman, she kissed the woman on the cheek. "Ama! Daiyo has resturned with Tani!"

"Tani?" The woman then looked over at Yuko. From her age she looked as if she had her eyes shut, she widened her eyes and looked at Yuko, "Aaaah, she is a Tani indeed." She got up and grabbed her cane. She walked over to Yuko slowly but surely. "What's your name Tani?" The elderly woman asked grabbing onto Yuko's hand.

"Y-Yuko." She said,

"Ah, Yuko. Such a beautiful name." She looked up at Yuko, "I am Daiyo's mother Neiyo. I'm the villages Oracle."

"I'm Yuko...I have so many questions."

"You must, please, join us for a meal."

"Ok." They followed Neiyo and Daiyo to a dining area. The four of them sat down and began to talk.

"Yuko, are you aware of your family heritage?" Neiyo asked her, she nodded. "We ancient people of Okinawa...we lived together in Okinawa without a care in the world. King Caesar was our protection against the monsters and he did pretty well too. The most recent princess Tani, she was the last to wield the necklace and the last to do something worth while. With the power of the necklace and King Caesar, she created this safe haven for us Okinawan people. So we've lived here for thousands of years hoping that a Tani would return."

"Thousands of years...? But mankind has only been gone for twenty plus years."

"For you it's been twenty years...but for us twenty thousand years have passed."

"I see...and you've been down here for all this time?"

"Yes."

"..." Yuko sighed, "I came here to find out who I was, and how I could save humanity with the help of King...What was it again?"

"Caesar."

"Yes, King Caesar. I've learned the song and everything, I've read up on the culture of you people." She turned to her, "Neiyo, the main reason why I'm here is because something Mothra had told me, we came to find the God of Kings and that's exactly why we're here."

"Mm," She nods, she then turns to Daiyo, "Daiyo my love will you fetch me the necklace and give it to Yuko please? It belongs to her after all." Neiyo then turned to Yuko, "Do you have a loved one?"

"Yes, his name is Haruo."

"Do you plan on marrying this Haruo?"

"Yes ma'am."

"Mm," She then turned to Daiyo, "And fetch me the power of bonds." Daiyo nodded and got up and left. "And what about you young man? Do you have someone you love?" She asked looking at Glenn. Glenn froze, was this woman coming onto him?

"Um..."

"As the matter of fact he does." Yuko said with a smile, "Her name is Kairi."

"I never said I liked her!" Glenn said,

"But it was implied~" Yuko said with a smile. Glenn just rolled his eyes. Soon Daiyo came back with some boxes, she gave them to Yuko. Yuki opened them one by one, one had a beautiful necklace in it. She took it out and put it around her neck, she looked at the gem in the center, it was gray, but the metal around it was yellow and it had a red ribbon on the bottom.

"That is what contains and helps you control King Caesar." Neiyo said, Yuko looked in the other box. Inside were two rings and some other device, the wings when put together made an infity symbol, one ring was smaller and made for a woman and the other for a man, she couldn't quite tell what the device in the middle was, it looked like some sort of baton. "These are wedding bonds," Neiyo picked up the woman ring and slid it onto Yuko's finger, "When you get back then give the other one to Haruo will you?"

"Yes Neiyo." Yuko said with a smile and a nod. Neiyo nodded back.

"Now, onto who you are and who you were meant to be." She smiled, "You are the beautiful descendant of the great Tani. Almost since the beginning of Japan they have all done many great and wonderful things. They are great royality and as such comes great rewards. Yuko, your life is just only beginning." She reaches her hand out and takes Yukos hand, "You were meant to be something great. Now I can't tell you exactly what that is, because that's something you have to discover for yourself."

"I see." Yuko said, "But...how will I know what that is? I mean...a few minutes ago I was just an average person and now I'm supposed to be royality...I'm not really the type for ruling."

"It's ok, all of the Tani women have said that at your age. Getting adjusted to a new life is hard, but it's so worth it." Neiyo stood up, "Come with me." Yuko stood up and followed her, they walked through the temple, on the walls were paintings of the former princesses.

"They all kind of look like me..." Yuko said,

"Yes, you can tell when a woman is a Tani. It's mostly in the jaw line and eyes."

"Mm," Yuko said, "So how are you related to them?"

"My family is friends to the Tani, extremely close friends. That all started back in the 1700's."

"I see." They eventually came to a room, the room was dark and was lit by candles. "What's this room?"

"This is the room of prayer." Neiyo said walking inside, Yuko followed her, "It's a sacred place, women spend almost countless hours and sometimes days in here."

"Why?"

"They try and find their daughters a worthy man, each woman is in desperate need of a strong man. Not so they can rescue them or anything like that, it's so that they can have an equal companion. Women here are gifts from God, it's why they need a worthy man to treat them as such gifts." She walked over to a shrine and picked up a box, she opened it and inside was a bangle. Neiyo took it out and handed it to Yuko, "This here is a Tani heirloom. It connects you to those of the past." Yuko took the bangle and looked at it, there was a family sigil on the center, the rest of it had some ancient floral designs. It was cold in color, Yuko then put it on her wrist.

"Thank you." Yuko smiles.

"Mm." Neiyo nodded, "Tell me Yuko. Are you expecting to have a family with Haruo sometime soon?"

"Yeah, Haruo and I are having twins."

"Ah! Sounds like you'll have your hands full." Neiyo smiles, "Having children is one of the greatest gifts you could ever ask for." Yuko smiles back, "Ah, you'll need some special tea." Neiyo then started to walk off, "Come along." The two of them walked to a larder near the back of the temple, Neiyo looked around she then saw a jar on a shelf, she reached up and grabbed the jar. She opened it, the jar was plenty full, she closed it and then handed it to Yuko, "Here you are, this tea helps with pregnancy. It's of a rare herbs and leafs, it smells terrible but it's actually quite sweet. It will ensure that your babies will grow up strong. Pick a day of the week, and every week on that day until you're about to deliver drink it. This supply will last you nine months."

"Thank you," Yuko took the jar, "Is there anything else I need before I leave?"

"Do you have to leave so soon?"

"Unfortunately yeah, but I'll tell you what. When I have my babies then we will come back here, as sort of a family vacation."

"Ah, sounds good to me." She smiled, "Oh! And one more note before you leave."

"What is it?"

"King Caesar will need an opponent before he just lends you his strength. Give him something to fight, and if it's a good fight he will instantly go into the necklace and he will be able to fight alongside you whenever you want him too."

Yuko nodded, "Alright, Thank you Neiyo."

"My pleasure."

The two of them walked to the dining room. Daiyo has Glenn in her arms and had her lips pressed against his. "Alright Glenn, Ready to hit the road?" Yuko said with a laugh. Daiyo pulled away and looked at Yuko with a smile, Glenn was completely flustered. "Come on, let's go lover boy."

"Mhmm!" He said,

"Thanks again Neiyo." Yuko said,

"You're welcome," Neiyo said, "Come back any time you hear?"

"Will do!" Yuko then took Glenn and the two of them left. Neiyo walked over to Daiyo as they watched them leave.

"Daiyo likes him."

"Mm, I like him too." Neiyo said with a laugh.

Once they were on their way they made it out of the temple all in one piece. Yuko frowned at the gloomy real world. Glenn however sat down on the ground, "Man...the world is so...cold and grey..."

"Yeah, I preferred everything back there in the temple." Yuko said, she then looked around. "Hey...start heading down the trail, I need to do something here real quick ok?"

"Ok, don't take too long."

"Can you take this pot with you?"

"Of course." Glenn stood up slowly, grabbed the jar of tea, and then walked down the path, "Man these statues are heavy..."

Yuko just laughed at him as he walked off. She then turned and backed away from the temple. She then slowly got down on both knees and clasped her hands together in a prayer positions. She was a little hesitant to start singing, mostly because she didn't know if it was going to work or not. She started to play the tune in her head. She then took a deep breath and then started to sing.

Meanwhile Haruo was back with everyone else. Soon Glenn came walking up to them, "Hey." He said,

"Where's Yuko?" Haruo asked a little concerned.

"She said she had to do something at the temple."

"You left her alone?!"

"Well, it was probably sacred business I didn't want to be there and make it awkward."

Haruo growled, "Whatever, just get inside, that goes for the rest of you." Soon the ground started to shake heavily, soon a mountain to the West, near the temple, went up in a massive explosion. "My god...Yuko!" Haruo then ran off as fast as he could towards the temple. Everyone else headed back inside.

Once inside Glenn went to Haruo and Yuko's room, he went inside and placed the Shisa statue on the desk as well as the two boxes and tea. He smiled and then left, he then went down the hall to Kairi's room. He knocked on the door, "Kairi?"

"Go away Kazuya."

"It's Glenn."

"Oh." She paused, "Go away Glenn."

"Can I talk to you?"

"Why?"

"I want to give you something."

"If it's a kiss you're going to lose all ability to have children."

Glenn froze and beads of sweat dripped down the back of his head, "N-No! It's a physical object!"

"Oh...ok." He then walked in the door, Kairi was ok her bed reading another one of her Werewolf romance novels. She put the reading technology down and looked at Glenn. "Well?" Glenn then went and sat on the bed across from her.

"Well, I know how much you like wolves and werewolves and stuff like that so I got you this." He reaches in the bag and pulls out the wolf statue. As he held onto it something dark from the statue left the statue and entered Glenn's body. Kairi looked at it, she then took the statue from him.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" She asked putting the statue on the ground. "Seriously. What the hell?"

"Um...I'm not following?"

"Why the hell are you trying to make an effort with me?"

"I just thought you'd like it. Don't you?"

"I do." She said, "This has to stop Glenn."

"What has to stop I haven't done anything...?"

"Stop pretending like you don't know." She said, "I don't like you Glenn, I never have and I never will. And do you know why?"

"Um...why...?"

"Because I-" she paused, "Well, you see, I'm incapable of feeling emotions, that's why."

"What do you mean?"

She sighed, she grabbed his hand and placed it on her left breast, "You feel this?"

"Oh! Um...y-yes, I feel that. It's Um...your boob? And it's very soft...?"

"No! Not that! Really feel!" She said pressing his hand harder against it,

"Yep! I'm really really feeling it! Mhmm!"

She glared and released his hand which Glenn quickly retracted. She grabbed his head turned it, she then pulled his head into her chest. "What about now?"

"Oh! Yes! Now I feel it! It's lovely!"

"STOP TALKING ABOUT MY BOOBS GLENN!!!"

"I don't know what it is you want me to talk about while smooshed between your bosoms!"

"Listen!"

"Ok...to what exactly?"

"If you'll shut your trap for a few seconds you'd hear it!"

"Ok! Sorry!" He paused for a second, "I hear your breathing...but I don't hear a heartbeat."

"Exactly." She then shoved him away from her, "I don't have a heart Glenn. I literally do not have one!"

"Why?"

"When I was four I needed a heart transplant. Anyways, we had finally found a donor. Anyways...I was meant to get the transplant before humanity went into space...the cargo truck carrying it...it was crushed by Godzilla...my parents didn't want to leave without me, so they asked the doctor for what could happen. The doctor then performed a surgery on me...but my heart was gone...I have one of those machines in me."

"A pacemaker?"

"Yeah, that." She said, "Since then...I've never really felt emotions, I've just felt...nothing."

Glenn smiles, "Kairi, your emotions don't come from this." He said pointing to her chest where her pacemaker was, "They come from this." He gently placed his fingers on her forehead, "Emotions, just are different hormones and electrons and neurons jumping about in our brains. The heart just pumps blood. Start feeling with your head, and your heart will follow."

"I don't have a heart Glenn." She said pulling his hand away, "So just stop."

"So your hearts made of metal and plastic, so what? I mean you still have one don't you?" He smiled, "Emotions come from your mind, your mind then sends everything throughout your body, and then the rest of your body reacts to it."

"Whatever." She said folding her arms, "Get out of my room Glenn."

"Alright," he got up and then headed for the door, just as he reached the door he turned and looked over his shoulder, "You know...despite what everyone else thinks about you...I think you're a pretty great gal." He winked and then left. Kairi just rolled her eyes. She leaned back on her bed and put her arms behind her head, she then turned and grabbed the wolf statue from the floor. She looked at it and thought of Glenn. A small smile perked in the corner of her mouth just before she set it back down. Out of all the crew members she hated Glenn the least.

A/N

Yo! Back again! I had a lot of fun doing this chapter! Okinawa is the one part of Japan that I would love to visit the most! The culture is just so beautiful! I also loved digging into Yuko's past and giving a shot at it, mostly because literally no one has a backstory in the anime trilogy unless you read the novels, and the novels are in Japanese and trying to find an English translation is like trying to convince someone that Godzilla 1998 is a good movie, it simply can't be done!

Anyways! I'm glad everyone is liking this so far! I honestly wrote this not expecting to have as many fans as I do! And I know that's like 11 maybe 12 people, but that's more friends and fans than I have in real life sadly XD

Anyways! The next chapter is going to be the fight between Haruo and King Caesar! It's probably the longest fight scene I think I have ever written! Speaking of King Caesar, I didn't write the song in because it's a pretty long ass song! Like when you think she's done she starts singing again!!! Oof!
