"Jack" A familiar voice whisper into my ear.

I moaned, rolling over onto my side, snuggling my head further into my fluffy pillows. I could faintly register the sound of a low, deep chuckle. Soon I felt someone's hand fall gently on my side, right on my waist and the person started to softly shake me awake.

"Jack, It's time to wake up." The voice whispered again, traces of amusement embedded in its tone.

I moaned once more, swatting the hand away weakly, mumbling under my breath groggily.

"Five more minutes!"

I then rolled over again so now I was on my stomach. The person sighed before suddenly I felt the covers being ripped from me. Since I was curled in them, I ended falling out of my bed to the floor with a thud. I moaned as I slowly sit up, rubbing my head in pain. Youko was standing on over me with my covers under his arm, looking very amused.

"Not very graceful today huh Jack?" Youko joked, a smirk preached on his face.

"Very funny, Youko." I said, scratching the back of my head, standing up.

He chuckled.

"So what are we learning this time?" I asked in wonder.

His happy appearance faltered slightly, something I instantly took notice to.

"It's time you truly understand your lineage Jack."

At the word 'Lineage' my face grew confused as I tried to make sense of what he meant.

"What do you mean my lineage?" I asked, uncertain.

"Do you remember when I told you that you came from a very powerful bloodline?"

"Oh! Yeah, you said it was my mother's right?"

"That's correct. I would love to explain more but it takes a while to get there so I suggest we leave now."

"Okay!"

Youko looked me up and down with a raised eyebrow.

"Jack, I appreciate your enthusiasm but it would be wise to dress yourself a little more … appropriately?"

I looked down to see I was only my grey heart polka doted boxers before blushing.

"Sorry about that." I said my face still red as a tomato before turning and walking over to my dresser. I quickly threw on a black fitted shirt and a pair of skinny jeans which I have fallen in love with since my 'rebirth'.

Turning back to Youko, I just realized what he was wearing. Youko was wearing just simple button down collar shirt that in Jack's mind seem to be amplifying Youko's muscles, and to make matters worse the skin tight Levi jeans seem to just stick on Youko's legs did him wonders. To sum it up, Youko looked hot.

"You um looked nice Youko…" I mumbled under my breath, hopefully not sound like that love-struck girl that I was feeling like on the inside.

Youko gave me his normal foxy smirk but for some reason today it seemed all the more sensual.

"Same goes to you too, Jack." Hearing my name roll off his tongue even seemed different and the look in his eyes didn't help at all.

I looked away; face burning hearing his throaty chuckle.

"Anyway, let's get moving alright?"

"Y-yes!" I said turning back to him trying to force my blush away.

Youko nodded and suddenly a portal opened up in the middle of the room. Both Jack and Youko walked through and just as instantly they were transport to a temple of some sorts. The temple looked very similar to the Xiaolin Monks temple except it seemed to be a bit bigger in size and everything red was black which gave the temple a very grave and dark presence.

"This place feels….dead..." Jack said softly while looking around cautiously.

Not hearing a response from Youko, I turned to see that he wasn't ever there anymore! My eyes widened but quickly narrowed as my sense flared up trying to figure out what was going.

'What in the hell is going on?' I thought to myself, glaring around.

"Jack"

I spin around, poised to kill. A snowy white fox stood there, its amber eyes glowing mysteriously. Black lines ran from under its eyes down the rest of its body and tails were whipping around. Wait tails?

"Youko?"

The fox nodded its head, sitting in front of me.

"Um not that it matters to me but why are you in your true form?"

'Because there is a barrier around this place that forces me too'

I just nod, Youko walks ahead of me leading the way. As we enter the temple, the ominous feeling that I was getting worsens.

"Youko what's up with this place? I can't feel any traces of life."

'That will be explained soon, Jack.'

We continued to walked down a seemingly endless stone pathway. We passed numerous of dead trees and flowers, I haven't seen an animal in sight, nor any people, it is really starting to freak me out. Soon we arrive at this giant gate, looking around; it seemed like the world ended at this gate. The wall on either side of the gate seemed to be as high as the sky and as long at the earth, I couldn't see anything else.

"What now?"

Again no answer. I turn to see that Youko effortlessly disappeared once again. Twirling around myself, I realized that this time he didn't transform or anything, he was 100% gone.

"Youko!" I called out, my heart picking up speed.

"He can't help you right now child."

I whipped around at the sound of that voice. There sitting on a rather large rock was a tiger. A big, razor fanged, man-eating (probably) tiger. The tiger though was very different from any normal tiger; it had similar symbols to Youko's fox form on its sides. It fur was inverted and instead of normal orange was white. The one thing that popped out were its piercing golden eyes like it was searching through my soul.

"Oh shit…" I said backing away slowly from the beast.

It stepped down gracefully from its perch, watching me with predatory glee.

"Who are you child? Speak."

"J-Jack Spicer…"

"Spicer? Delila's son?"

"You know my mother?"

The tiger didn't reply, instead it began to move closer. I continued to step back, reaching behind me to grab the katana that I luckily remembered to grab before leaving. Watching the motion, when the katana came into view the tiger stopped.

"So it is true…You've finally awakened."

Suddenly the wind around started to blow like crazy, I had to block my eyes because of its force. Though just as I did, it stopped and I quickly looked back at the tiger. But there was no tiger, in its place was a woman who looked around the age of 25, short black hair which framed around her face, the tips of her hair were a snow white. Her deep gold cat eyes were staring unnervingly at me. She was wearing a traditional black and white kimono but the top had some sort of ancient writing over it. She wore no shoes on her feet which immediately made me notice the sharpened nails on both her feet and hands.

"Let's see how good he's trained you." She said a mocking smile resting on her face.

"What-"

I quickly brought up the katana to block her heel drop kick that was directed to the back of my head. Throwing her off, She flipped gracefully in the air before landing back on the rock with catlike grace. A wide cattish smile grace her face as her eyes narrowed.

"Oh he's trained you well boy..."

She kicks off of the rock and comes speeding towards me. I poise myself but just as she's within striking range she disappears. My sense went on over drive to locate her and just in time for me to block the kick she was going to throw at my waist. From there it was a battle of speed, she threw a kick, I blocked. Her speed was unreal, I could do nothing but block.

"He did train you good but..."She trailed off suddenly disappearing once again.

It didn't take long to locate her as she reappeared directly in front of me but she was moving too fast for me to retaliate. She suddenly brought her leg up, perfectly arched though it stopped short of my chin by a few centimeters. I looked at her both shocked and confused as to why she stopped.

"It's still not good enough." She said, disappointed in her voice.

Just then the very edge of her heel gently touched my chin. In a whirlwind, pain raked my body and a sudden upward force took me off my feet. I sailed into the air, my mind slipping into unconsciousness, the last thing I saw before my world turned black was golden eyes looking at me.

'I'm sorry Jack.'

"Mommy, what's this?"

A young boy, no older than 6 held up a strange looking pendent, his bright red eye glowing in curiosity at the trinket. A woman, no doubt his mother based on the similarities, who looked to be in her mid/to last 20's looked over at him and smiled.

"It's from my sister."

"Auntie Lia?"

"No Jackie, I had another sister, someone I wished you could have met." The woman says with a sad looked on her face.

She gets up from her seat to walk over to the boy, picking him up and holding him up. The boy smiles brightly and in an excited voice asked.

"Was she pretty mommy?"

"Yes Jack, she was very pretty." His mommy replied, chucking. "One day this pendent will belong to you Jack."

The boy smiled big and bright. "Thank you mommy!"

I could faintly hear the sound of yelling which pulled me from my pleasant dream.

"Terra, I swear that if in the next few minutes he doesn't wake, I'll rip you apart."

"Oh please! I dare you to try it, you traitorous fox!"

At hearing Youko's voice, I tried to open my eyes. Everything was blurry until after a few blink my vision cleared. What stared back at me was the wooden of the ceiling, it seems I was inside of a building no doubt, I turned my head and eyes widened. I was defiantly inside of a temple but what kind I have no idea. The temple was dark, the fire pit in the middle of the room served as both a heat and the only light in this room. From what I could see there were strange statues step up around each quarter feet of the circular room. The monks here didn't looked at all like the monks I was used to seeing instead of traditional red and gold, their robes were black and white. There were only three monks in the room though, two were in deep meditation while the last one who I guess was a master was standing in between Youko and that woman from before. They were glaring hotly at each other.

"That's quite enough you two! Either way, Jack has awaken due to your constant bickering!"

At hearing I was awake, Youko turned and walked over to me.

"Jack you're alright? Nothing hurts?" He asked concerned.

I blinked, surprised at his sudden mothering. "Yes, Youko I'm alright, just really confused. Where are we?" I said, nervousness laced into my voice as my eyes drift from the woman to the monk.

The monk walked closer with a smile. "You are in a place between heaven and hell."

My eyes widened as my mouth fell open.

"Welcome to Limbo, Jack."
