HI GUYS :D So sorry, I have not been able to update the story for a very very very long while, because I just entered Junior College (Pre-U) and life's been so terribly busy ): I wanted to give up on this stories, but I constantly got emails about you guys following my story and following it, so I decided to update this when I had the time (:

Thank you guys so much for the continuous support!

Please do leave a review ^^

As he walked further into the Glass Palace, the sound of his shoes clicking against the marble-tiled ground bounced off the multiple glass panels used to construct the government building.

"My uncle, please," he asked for his uncle in a monotone.

"He's currently in a meeting," his secretary replied without even taking a look at him, typing away at the computer feverously.

Natsume rolled his eyes. "Don't give me that bullshit; if you don't tell him I'm here, I'm going to barge in,"

The secretary's hands stopped immediately and she glared at Natsume for being so defiant, as if dealing with a hell of a slacker boss wasn't enough for her.

"Hyuuga-san, your nephew's here to see you," she spoke into the phone after jamming at the buttons.

"Didn't I tell you that I don't want to meet anyone now?"

He yawned so loudly even Natsume could hear it from over the phone. The secretary gave him a nod, indicating that he could go on.

It was not everyday that he would make a trip down to the Glass Palace, sometimes, when he came down, he was merely bored, but today, it was for serious business.

"I still can't believe they let you take the position of 'Master', utterly ridiculous," Natsume sneered at his uncle, who slumped in his armchair, looking as if he only had 2 hours of sleep the previous night.

"I'm capable, that's why," his uncle retaliated playfully.

"Tch."

"So, what are you here for? How do you like your little gift?" His uncle got off his armchair and walked towards him.

"That's what I'm here for. How the hell did you get hold of a Night B?" His gaze, tone and words spelt two words: serious business. His uncle's childish smile disappeared from his face when he heard Natsume.

"The Catchers were out that day, on the way to collect another poor girl from the lower class, when on the way, they caught the peculiar scent of a Night B. Of course, I couldn't believe it at first either, but when I personally made a trip there, they were right. It was a Night B, the highest amongst the lands, descendant of the saint, blessed by the One up there, exiled from this land."

That's right, exiled from this land, rampaging full of blood thirsty creatures. Angelic yet demonic was how they described Night Bs, they had possessed powers that only creatures from up there would be able to get hold of, even though part demonic, they were still different. They caused such a huge uproar in the past, suddenly, angel like demons appearing amongst the people. The 'culture' shock had sent everyone into a frenzy that such desperate measures had to be taken before anymore blood was shed. The Battle of Confusion, was what they called the war that happened years ago, Fighting your own kind, who you would never see as the same ever again. Adults were burnt; children… exiled.

And he was one of them. Natsume was one of them.

And that little 'gift' he received was one of them too.

"Natsume, protect her. You know why I 'sent' her to you,"

Natsume simply nodded, knowing that his life was going to be turned upside down from this moment on.
