New Beginnings

Chapter 2: Tsukune's past comes to light

Silently everyone stood in the elevator as it steadily climbed up the shaft in which it was stationed.

"UGH…if there isn't one thing that annoys me more than kidnappers it's a slow elevator." Growled out Tsukune as everyone else just nodded their heads in agreement. Calmly Tsukune lifted his head to look at what floor they were on and see that they were on the tenth floor. Slowly a sigh made its way to Tsukune's mouth as his head lowered and a dark purple cloud hung over his head.

"How far up did you say you were again?" asked Tsukune as he turned towards them showing that he wasn't in a very good mood. Everyone else had of course hidden behind Moka's mother, yes even Moka's father, in hope that he wouldn't attack a woman.

"Uh…well you see Tsukune-san we're actually up on the Pent House sweet." Replied Moka's mother before everyone just watched as Tsukune fell to the ground as the purple cloud seemed to grow off of his misery.

"I HATE TECHNOLOGY!!!" shouted Tsukune as he stood up quickly which caused everyone to jump back into the wall in shock. Once more Tsukune turned his attention to the digital numbers that showed them what floor they were only to see that they were on floor eighteen. Calmly he continued to stare at the numbers almost as if willing them to jump past the rest of the floors and to the Pent house before the elevator stopped moving and getting stuck in between the nineteenth and twentieth floors.

"OH COME ON!!! THIS IS FUCKIN BULLSHIT!!!!" shouted Tsukune as he started to stomp his feet.

"Um…Tsukune I believe that we might be stuck here for a while." Said Moka's father before Tsukune turned to him showing midnight black eyes with yellow reptilian slits running through the center.

"Not if I have anything to say about it." Calmly stated Tsukune before he turned his attention to the floor panel and ripped it out of the wall along with all of the wires that were attached to the buttons. Calmly he clipped the power wire, the Pent house wire, and the transmission wire and placed them together and quickly capped them off with a wire cap. Suddenly the elevator gave a lurch before it started to climb the shaft once more.

'He got the elevator to start moving again.' Thought Moka's parents as they stood there dumbfounded, Moka on the other hand just had an interesting grin upon her face.

"Ugh…it's still too slow." Muttered Tsukune as he calmly reached into his cargo pants and pulled out a small am/fm radio.

"Uh…Tsukune why do you have an am/fm radio on you?" asked Moka as she watched Tsukune dissected the radio before he combined it to the wires that he had already placed together.

"Needed a way to know what was going on in Japan." Was Tsukune's simple reply as he finished connecting the wires together. Quickly without warning he turned the dial all the way around before everyone was floored from the sudden speed increase that implemented along with the g-force.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" everyone screamed in fear or, in Moka's and Tsukune's case, enjoyment. Then once more without warning Tsukune turned the dial once more so that they were suddenly stopped forcing them to fly towards the ceiling and crash into it. Slowly they all started to fall from the ceiling and struck the cold floor. Silently everyone laid there before all of a sudden Tsukune, just for kicks, turned the dial once more only in the opposite direction forcing them to slam into the ceiling and head for the first floor.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" everyone screamed once more in fear or once more in Moka's and Tsukune's case, enjoyment. Before they all struck the ceiling and continued to plummet thirty and a half floors to the lobby.

(In the lobby)

Calmly the hotel owner stood behind the check in counter sorting through the mail the hotel had received during the early hours.

"Electricity Bill…Keep, Water Bill…Keep, Food Bill…Keep, Cable Bill…Keep, and Elevator parts order form…Keep. Junk, more junk, even more junk, and a letter from my parents………..trash." Said the manager as he set all of the bills on the front desk and through the rest in the shredder without a second glance.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" the manager heard someone, or maybe it was people, scream.

"UGH…someone messed with the elevator's speed again." Sighed out the manager as he picked up his desk phone and dialed for the repair man.

*RING*

*RING*

*RING*

"Ah sorry to call you so late Mr. Shuuzen, but it seems like someone's been messing with the elevator again." Said the manager before he listened to the person on the other end before he nodded his head.

"Yes, yes I understand that this has been the twentieth time this week and I respect the fact that you have been kind enough to help us." Said the manager to the receiver before he was once more was silent.

"Yes, tomorrow at three thirty in the afternoon would be fine." Replied the manager before he gave a kind goodbye to Mr. Shuuzen and hung up the phone and just watched the elevator numbers close on to the lobby. Not long after the ground floor was given a small jolt as the elevator struck the ground.

"Hmm…right on time if nor faster than the last time." Mussed the manager to himself as he watched the elevator doors open and four people step out.

(Back with Tsukune, Moka, and Moka's parents)

"That was…" started Tsukune as he looked at Moka.

"That was…" repeated Moka as she stared at Tsukune.

"THAT WAS TOTALLY FUCKIN AWESOME!!!!! LET'S DO IT AGAIN!!!!!" shouted Tsukune and Moka at the same time while Moka's parents seemed to grow pale at the last statement.

"Uh…you can go again, but Moka? Your father and I are going to take the other elevator." Said Moka's mother as she and her husband began to walk away with jittery movements.

'I'm beginning to wonder if he is mentally sane.' Thought both of Moka's parents as they calmly entered into the other elevator and tapped the Pent house floor. Calmly Tsukune and Moka watched as the elevator door shut behind Moka's parents and it began to rise to the top floor.

"Ready?" asked Tsukune as a 100-watt smile shone on his face.

"HELL YEAH!!!" shouted Moka with enthusiasm before she matched Tsukune's smile.

"Good, now let's go." Said Tsukune.

"Yeah." Calmly replied Moka before she quickly grabbed Tsukune by the arm and dragged him into the elevator. Not much later the elevator doors shut behind them.

"Hey Tsukune." Said Moka as Tsukune turned towards her looking at her in confusion.

"Yeah Moka?" asked Tsukune as he held the dial in his hands.

"Is…is it alright if I give it a shot?" asked Moka as she allowed her face to hang at to the ground in embarrassment.

Calmly Tsukune looked at Moka before he shrugged his shoulders and held it out to her. Slowly Moka looked up to see that Tsukune was holding out the dial to her along with a smile upon his face. Silently Tsukune just handed her the dial and placed it into her hands.

Silently Moka returned Tsukune's smile before it immediately changed into an evil grin which caused Tsukune to begin to sweat. Then suddenly she turned the dial all the way around. Not much later Tsukune and Moka were once more floored as the elevator shot strait to the top along with screaming their lungs to high heaven in excitement.

(With Moka's parents)

Once more Moka's parents heard her screaming as they looked at one another.

"She's your child." They both said at the same time before they looked at the door once more.

(With Tsukune and Moka)

Continuously the both of them screamed before Moka turned the dial to a neutral position. Just as they were about to fly off of the floor Moka quickly turned the dial so they were heading back to the main lobby causing them float in the air for a few moments before they struck the ceiling which muffled their screams.

(With Moka's parents)

"Hmm…that's odd." Said Moka's mother as she looked at where the other elevator shaft was.

"What's odd?" asked Moka's father as he stared at where his wife was staring.

"Well I could have sworn I heard some muffled screams." Said Moka's mother before she just shrugged it off and looked at the digital numbers and seeing that they were a floor away from the Pent house.

(With Tsukune and Moka)

"You know Moka…if we don't hurry your parents will possibly…begin to wonder where you're at." Said Tsukune as he turned his head enough so he could look at Moka while a small amount of drool dripped out of his mouth.

"Yeah…I know. By the way……hang on." Said Moka before she turned the dial once more and flooring them again as they shot to the top once more and for the final time.

"GGGGGGGGGGGGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" shouted both Tsukune and Moka as they almost literally felt as if their bodies were being turned into a pancake. Silently Tsukune risked opening one of his eyes to see that they were a single floor away from the Pent House.

"MOKA!! YOUR GOING TO WANT TO STOP THE ELEVATOR!!!" shouted Tsukune before Moka immediately placed the dial a neutral position. Sadly because of the speed that they were moving was still too fast and caused them to slam into the ceiling.

*CRASH*

(With Moka's parents)

*CRASH*

"Okay I definitely heard something this time." Said Moka's father as he and his wife steeped out of the elevator. Not even a millisecond later the other elevator door opened up allowing them to see inside.

"Okay where are those two?" asked Moka's mother as they both entered the elevator. Calmly they began to look around.

"Well it doesn't look like they're in here." Said Moka's father as he started to step out of the elevator and his wife following him before they heard a defined crash behind them. Quickly they turned to see Tsukune and Moka lying on the floor of the elevator before they turned their gaze to the ceiling to see two children sized dents in the ceiling.

'That's why we didn't see them.' Thought both of Moka's parents before they heard a defined snap come from the elevator. Quickly they shook themselves out of their thoughts just in time to see the elevator begin to drop down the shaft before it whizzed right bye and the rope to follow shortly after.

"OH SHIT!!!" shouted Moka's mother as she ran to the elevator shaft as her husband follower her. Silently she looked down the elevator shaft only to see a never ending abyss of shadows. Quickly with hurried and jerky movements she attempted to look around for any sign of them only to see nothing other than the shadows that existed since the elevators finishing.

"No." whispered Moka's mother before she broke down crying as her husband bent down and held her close to him as she let out all of her sadness. While he was holding her he was able to take notice of an occasional movement in the shadows but never got his hopes up in fear that it was nothing more than a false alarm. Suddenly without warning a large black mass came out of the shaft before it landed right in front of the two.

The object itself looked like nothing more than a three fingered claw before a second and third appeared in a similar fashion. Then out of nowhere a fourth and final claw came from the shadowed abyss and hooked itself on the top of the elevator entrance. Not much later a large black mass was launched out of the elevator shaft and struck Moka's parents head on and continued to roll on past before it came to a stop two feet away. Calmly Moka's parents picked themselves off the ground before they started to walk towards the black mass.

As they approached the object they were able to take a good look at it. Well basically it was nothing more than a 3' sphere that was a midnight pitch black color.

"What is this?" asked Moka's mother as she calmly poked it with her index finger.

"HEHEH." Laughed the ball as Moka's parents jumped back in shock before it returned to a soundless state. Calmly Moka's parents looked at one another before they gained an evil grin that wasn't really filled with an evil intention, more of a joking manor. Silently they made their way towards the ball once more before they began to poke at it continuously causing it to start to laugh once more. It's laughing had soon escalated to the point where it was sounding more like two children laughing.

Not much later the ball suddenly seemed to explode forcing Moka's parents to cover their faces with their arms but instead of feeling the searing pain of the explosion they instead felt something just pass through them like a shadow while the laughing continued. Calmly they removed their arms to see Tsukune sitting on the floor laughing while holding their daughter as feint remains of what appeared to be shadows hung around him and both were laughing rather loudly.

"You know…hahah…that's the first time I've laughed in well over a year." Said Tsukune before he was overcome with another fit of laughter and Moka continued to laugh without a problem.

"Yes and as interesting that is you still owe us an explanation." Replied Moka's parents at the same time.

"Okay." Said Tsukune in defeat as he quickly took in his surroundings. From the looks of what he was looking they were in the main living room that had an excellent view of not only the city but the ocean as well. He was also able to notice that there were two couches facing one another and Moka and him were sitting on the remains of a coffee table which were more like fire wood now.

"Uuuhhhhhhhh…I can pay for that." Said Tsukune as he pointed to the remains before he calmly stood up and brought Moka with him, without noticing.

"Ugh…we can worry about that later right now all I want is an explanation and my daughter back." Growled out Moka's mother as she approached Tsukune who just decided to hand her daughter and sit.

"So what do you want to know?" asked Tsukune as he calmly returned to his neutral state.

"Well we already know your name. Hmmm…how about you tell us about what happened to your parents?" gruffly asked Moka's father as he joined his wife on the opposite couch.

"Alright but in return you cannot interrupt me during my retelling. It was about two months ago that my parents were murdered in front of me but this starts around two months and a day ago." Started Tsukune as his eyes seemed to gain a far off look to them.

(Flashback)

Silently a male figure stood behind his mother as she calmly stood in front of the kitchen stove cooking the night's dinner. The male looked to be six maybe seven years old, stood 3' 2", had dark brown hair, and a pair of chocolate brown eyes that continued to stare in front of him. The figure wore a black form fitting t-shirt, black pants along with a blood red belt that had a silver five pointed star buckle.

The women on the other hand looked to be in her early twenties, stood 5', and had dark brown hair and a pair of chocolate brown eyes similar to that of the child's. The figure was wearing a white long sleeve shirt, with a light brown skirt and a pink apron. Silently she stood at a stove making dinner before she calmly reached beside her only to feel nothing but air.

"Tsukune." Called the women as Tsukune just looked up at her before he pulled on her skirt causing her to turn around and look at him.

"Yes mommy?" asked Tsukune as he stared at his mom in confusion.

"Did you take the preserved fruit that I brought up from the basement?" asked Tsukune's mother as she stared at him as he calmly stood their looking at her.

"No." replied Tsukune as he shook his head in a negative fashion before he stopped and stared at his mom.

"Then I must have forgotten them. Tsukune, how would you like to help me finish up making dinner?" asked his mother as she stared at him before she saw his face break out into a large smile and nod his head eagerly up and down.

"Okay mommy." Replied Tsukune as he continued to stare at his mother with him still smiling at her.

"Okay here's what I need for you to do Tsukune. I want you to go down to the basement and retrieve me a glass jar of our preserved fruits okay." Said Tsukune's mother as she bent down and told him what she needed.

"Okay mommy. I'll be right back." Said Tsukune before his mom placed her left hand on his head and ruffled his hair in affection. Calmly he pushed his mom's hand away and ran off towards the basement door. Quickly he opened the door and hurried down the stairs to the basement not worrying much about the light before he reached the cold cement floor.

'Okay…mommy said that she wanted some of the preserved fruit that we packaged.' Thought Tsukune as he wondered around the basement walking in between several of the metal racks that made their way out of the walls. Calmly he walked past several of the aisles before he stopped in his tracks and began to look around. The next thing he knew he was on his back on the cement ground with a shadowed being standing over him.

"Anei…get off." Growled out Tsukune as he stared at the assailant.

"Awww…but I was having fun Tsukune." Said Anei as he got off of Tsukune and helped him back up to his feet.

"Yeah fun for you and one concussion for me along with one major headache." Replied Tsukune as he stared at Anei with anger but was quickly replaced with his usual grin.

"You know why I do this Tsukune." Said Anei as he stood there in front of Tsukune.

"Yeah to help me control my yokai. Hey do you think you could help me find the preserved fruit that we placed down here?" asked Tsukune as he looked at Anei.

"Well…all right but in return I want to be allowed out more often." Said Anei as he held his hand out Tsukune.

"Okay Anei but after this you'll need to return to being my shadow since we're having company to night." Said Tsukune as he shook his Anei's hand.

"Deal. Now come on." Said Tsukune's Anei as he led him through several different aisles before he stopped in front of a rack that was filled with several dozen preservation jars.

'Okay one peach, apple, strawberry, and a blueberry should be good enough.' Thought Tsukune as he felt the familiar feeling of his shadow returning to its rightful position. Calmly he turned around and started to head back the way that he came from. He then stopped in front of the staircase and set the jars down. Quickly he picked up one of the jars and opened it up before he stuck one of his fingers in and took out some of the fruit on his finger. Silently he looked around before he stuck his finger into his mouth along with the fruit.

"Mmmmmm…that is defiantly good fruit." Whispered Tsukune before he replaced the top on the jar and picked up all the jars once more and started on his way back to the ground floor. Silently he continued up the staircase without much worry before he reached the top stair and attempted to open the basement door while his hands were full only to stop and lift his foot up and kick the door forcing it to open.

'Got to love those doors that are so broken to the point that you can just give it a good slam and it will open right up.' Thought Tsukune as he stepped into the kitchen and set the glass jars on the table while his mother continued to stir. (AN:// I really do have a door that you can just slam your body weight on and it will open.)

"Mommy…I'm back with the fruit." Called Tsukune as his mother turned to face him.

"Thank you Tsuki-chan." Replied Tsukune's mother as she held a smile on her face.

"Mommy…you said you wouldn't call me Tsuki-chan anymore and besides I'm not a girl." Whined Tsukune as he pouted at his mother who just started to laugh at her son's antics.

"No…I said that I would stop calling you that in public." Calmly replied his mother as she made her way over to her son and enveloped him in a hug.

"Ma…mom." Whined Tsukune as he attempted to free himself from his mom.

"Now now Tsukune you know that you won't be a child for long. So please just let me remember you as you're now than who you will become." Said Tsukune's mother as she held him out at her arms length before Tsukune just started to laugh and his mother joining in shortly after.

"Don't worry mommy I won't change." Said Tsukune as he gave her a hug before he quickly let go.

"Okay then. Now run along." Said Tsukune's mother before he nodded and ran off.

'They grow up so fast.' She thought before she turned her attention to tonight's dinner. Sadly no one ever noticed the figure that caught wind of their conversation standing right outside of the open kitchen window.

(With Tsukune)

Quickly as fast as his six year old body could stand he ran out the back door and into the forest that lined the back of his neighborhood. Silently he ran through the forest taking note of all the birds, squirrels, rabbits, and several other animals that occupied the forest. Every now and then he would chase an unfortunate squirrel that happened to cross his path. Not much later he stopped inside of a five foot circular clearing that had a simple tree stump in the center. Calmly he approached the tree stump before he set his hands onto the tree stump and just stared at it.

"Grandpa…" whispered Tsukune as he ran his hands against the rough surface before he stopped at the center of the tree stump. Calmly he sat on the tree stump indian style before he allowed his head to fall.

(Fast Forwarding to a more recent memory)

Calmly Tsukune allowed himself to awaken after several hours of a dreamless sleep. Turning his head lightly he was able to crack his neck before he looked at the sky to see that it had changed from the deep sky blue to a deep purple with mixture of orange and fire reds that made the forest seem as if it were in an alternate realm.

"Wow I must have fallen asleep out here." Said Tsukune as he quickly stretched his weary limbs before he heard a defined crack come from his joints. He then calmly allowed for his hands to fall to his sides before he started to walk away from the small clearing. Silently he continued to walk through the forest as he listened to the birds sing their tiny lungs out filling the forest with the joy. Silently he stopped beneath a still growing tree that was no taller than five feet and he looked up into the tree to see a small birds nest with a mother bird guarding her eggs. Almost immediately a smile broke out on his face before he continued on his way.

'Hmm…I wonder what's for dinner tonight? Oh maybe its fruit filled dumplings.' Thought Tsukune as he started to pat his growling stomach and then began to run off home. Not much later he arrived home to see that his dad's car was in the driveway. Quickly without much thought Tsukune ran towards the front door before he opened it only to see that the house wasn't lit with the usual florescent lights.

"Mommy…da…daddy?" asked out Tsukune as he calmly started to take calm and careful steps into the living room while feeling for the light switches. Calmly he continued to brush his hands along the wall before he felt his hand strike something and realized that it was a one of the light switches. Silently he flipped the switch before he was engulfed in the bright florescent lights that immediately blinded him slightly. Slowly his eyes adjusted to the light only to notice that no one was around.

'May…maybe they're…in the kitchen eating dinner. Ye…ye…yeah they're p-p-possibly just eating dinner.' Thought Tsukune as fear began to grip at his heart and he continued on towards the kitchen/dining room. Calmly Tsukune entered the kitchen and turned on the light and released a sigh he didn't know that he was holding in. Silently he continued to the stove to see that not a single jar of fruit that Tsukune had brought up for dinner hasn't been touched since his mom took them from him. Silently he turned off the stove before he jumped in shock as a loud *CRASH* was heard from the basement. Quickly Tsukune turned to the basement door and calmly walked towards it. Soon he was standing in front of the basement door from which several sounds could be heard coming from.

"Mommy…Daddy is that you." Called out Tsukune as he reached for the basement door before it opened up and in the door way stood a man with his mother behind him along with his father.

The man himself stood 5' 5", had black hair with blood red streaks running through his hair, black eyes with a silver pupil, and looked to be slightly irritated. He was wearing a black suit with a blood red undershirt and black dress shoes.

Carefully Tsukune looked into his eyes before he quickly jumped back in shock. What Tsukune saw burned deep inside of the man's eyes was forever engraved into his mind. In the man's eyes all he saw was deep hatred for something along with despair, anger, sadness, and fear all mixing together deep within his soul creating a strong force around him.

'Wha…what is this?' thought Tsukune as he slid to the ground in fear before the man calmly removed his gaze from Tsukune's and bowed to his parent's before he silently disappeared in a black flame.

"Tsukune…are you alright?" asked Tsukune's father as he bent down to look at his son. Slowly Tsukune raised his head to look at his father before he quickly grabbed his dad and cried into his dad's chest. For what seemed to be an eternity as Tsukune cried into his father before he finally fell asleep in his father's grip.

"I believe that Tsukune has the right idea for the night." Said Tsukune's mother as she calmly approached her husband. The only sign of affirmation she got was the nodding of his head before he stood up and started to walk towards the living room and up the stair case to the second floor. Calmly Tsukune's mother followed her husband and opened Tsukune's bedroom door before Tsukune's father entered and set Tsukune onto his futon.

"Goodnight Tsukune." Whispered Tsukune's parents before his mom kissed him lightly on his forehead and tucked him into his futon and silently exited the room.

(With the man)

Suddenly out of nowhere a black flame appeared in the same clearing that Tsukune was in earlier right in front of the tree stump. Then without warning the black flame immediately grew to the height of 5' 5" before it died out and the man that Tsukune had saw earlier was standing there. Shortly after standing there a feint wind began to blow through the clearing before in centered itself upon the top of the tree stump and continued to circle it before it finally died down.

Standing there on the tree stump was a female. The woman stood 5' 3", had brown hair that covered her right eye, looked to be at least in her early twenties, blue eyes, and an A-cup bust size. The woman was wearing a black kimono with a white sash holding it in place and traditional wooden sandals on her feet. Tied on her sash were two short swords that had a light blue handle on each.

"Mistress." Calmly said the male figure as he bowed to her before he was waved to stand and he readily did so.

"What did you find out?" asked the woman as she calmly sat on top of the tree stump as the man calmly lowered himself to the ground and sat indian style.

"It seems as if the boy does have a strong pull towards the shadows just as the reports had stated. It also seems that his kind nature and large wanting of protecting is only increasing his attachment to the shadows. This was all I was able to gather madam." Replied the man before he bowed towards the woman once more as the woman pondered what her servant had told her.

"Michael, I want you to keep an eye on the boy." Stated the woman as Michael calmly rose up to look at his mistress.

"Of course Lady Liz but I would like to know why?" Replied Michael to Liz before she calmly looked at him with anger. Sadly it didn't work since he just stared right back at her with indifference before she released a sigh.

"I just have a gut feeling that something is going to be happening to his family shortly and whatever you do DON'T interfere with what is to happen. Plus when whatever is meant to happen happens I want you to return to me and give me a fully detailed report as to what happened. Am I clear." Said Liz as she emphasized the word don't.

"Of course mistress." Calmly replied Michael before his mistress disappeared in another whirl wind of air and leaving only a few disturbed leaves in her place. Not much later Michael disappeared into another black flame to fulfill his duty.

Sadly neither of the two were able to catch the shadow that made its way out of the surrounding forest. Silently he approached the tree stump and checked the ground that Michael had occupied for any signs of burn marks from his fire or cuts in the wood from Liz's entrance and exit.

"Now I know why Tsukune had asked me to investigate him and with what that woman, Liz I think he said her name was, said I can't help but feel that shit is going to hit the fan soon. I had better be certain that Tsukune knows what is happening." Said the shadow before is vanished into its own shadow forever leaving the clearing.

(Fast Forwarding Memory to a more recent one)

Several hours later the sun was just beginning it ascension into the early morning sky as it replaced the midnight black sky with several different hues of orange, red, yellow, purple, and blues. Not long after several birds began to sing as the sun rose into the sky awakening several of the day creatures as the night animals found well shaded areas to fall into slumber.

Calmly the sun's rays worked their way further into the forest and out into the commercial housing district. Almost as if a sign from heaven the sun's rays found their way into Tsukune's bedroom and shone upon his face before he turned over in his sleeping state to block the sun's rays. Tsukune had just gotten comfy once more before his piece of mind was eliminated by his mother called for him from the kitchen.

"Tsukune its time for breakfast." Called his mother as he calmly raised his head to show his chocolate brown eyes to the world that also had deep bags underneath them. Shortly after Tsukune stood up while stretching his joints before he once more relaxed his muscles and began to scratch his left side as he made his way out of his bedroom all the while yawning. Not even five steps outside his bedroom his anei appeared from underneath him, forcing him to stop in his tracks, and just floated there in front of him before he just shrugged and walked through him.

Silently his anei just floated there for what seemed to be an eternity before he just headed off towards their room.

(With Tsukune)

Silently Tsukune walked into the kitchen to see his father sitting at the table reading the newspaper while his mom stood in front of the stove cooking breakfast. Calmly she turned to look at him as he just stood there looking at her while still half-asleep before he walked towards the table and pulled out one of the chairs before he calmly took a seat.

"Here you go dear and same for you Tsukune." Said Tsukune's mother as she set down two plates of scrambled eggs, bacon, and sausage in front of her husband and son before she kissed them both on the forehead.

"Thank you dear." Replied Tsukune's father before set the paper aside, picked up his fork, and started to eat while his wife went ahead and retrieved her breakfast before she joined them at the table.

"Yeah…thanks' mom." Replied Tsukune somewhat down cast but his parents just chalked it up to him still being tired while he picked at his food. Yet inside his mind was in turmoil as he attempted to find out who would want to harm his family.

'Mom and Dad did say that over several years they had gained several people who didn't really like them but they had also said that they were able to make peace in between themselves. Even still what that woman said she saw in my family's future is unnerving.' Thought Tsukune before he took a bite of his food and listened in on his parents conversation of what dinner would be, how late his father would be at work today and what time he would get home tonight.

"Mom, Dad…can I be excused?" asked Tsukune as he stared at his empty plate as did his parents before they gave him the okay to do so.

"Thank you." Calmly replied Tsukune as he moved his chair back and stepped onto the cool kitchen floor. Quietly he left the kitchen and entered the living room and made his way to his bedroom and shut the door behind him. Calmly he leaned on the door as his anei appeared in front of him.

"So what are you going to do?" asked Tsukune's anei as he floated in front of him while Tsukune stared at the ground and his bangs prevented his anei from seeing his eyes.

"I…I…I honestly…don't know." Replied Tsukune as he lifted his head to show that his eyes were shedding tears but no sound of whimpering could be heard coming from him.

"Well…I guess the only thing that we can do right now is wait for whatever is meant to happen happens and then we deal with whatever life decides to throw at us." Replied Tsukune's anei while Tsukune just stared at him with anger.

"NO. THE ANCIENTS HAD A SAYING, 'A SINGLE THOUGHT CAN CHANGE THE COURSE OF HUMAN HISTORY EVEN AN ACT CAN DO SO'." Growled out Tsukune as his eyes flashed to a pure black with a yellow slit running through them.

"I know no need for you to lose your temper but, what if the woman was right and this is an act that we will be unable to prevent." Countered his anei as Tsukune calmed himself before he shot a glare at him but was unable to hold it as he walked past him to his dresser and grabbed his clothes for the day. Silently he made his way towards the bathroom that resided just outside of his bedroom.

Lightly a sigh came out of the anei's mouth before he followed Tsukune into the bathroom and rejoined him as one entity.

'You still haven't attempted to counter what I had said.' Thought anei while Tsukune stripped down to his birthday suit showing that despite the fact that he was young he was well built.

'I know…and I'm worried that you're right.' Replied Tsukune as he turned on the shower and turned it on a medium heat level before he stepped in and allowed the heated water to cascade down his skin and release several knot's in his muscles that he was unable to remove when he stretched earlier. Silently Tsukune stood there as the water continued to flow down his body taking the small amounts of stress with it. Calmly he reached for the soap bar and wash cloth before he set the wash cloth under the water as it soaked the cloth. He then proceeded to rub the soap into the cloth before he began to wash every part of his body which helped him relieve even more stress that lied deep within his joints.

"Sigh…this feels so good." Whispered Tsukune before he sat on the ground allowing the water to fall on him similar to the effect of rain and he closed his eyes to remember a time when things were far simpler for his family.

(Flash back within a flash back)

Calmly a young boy no older than three sat on the sandy bank of a small lake. The boy was no taller than 2' 6", had brown hair, chocolate brown eyes and was staring intently out across the lake. He was currently wearing a black kimono with a white sash. Silently he continued to stare out across the lake similar to a statue before a shadow suddenly encompassed him from behind. Calmly the boy turned around to see an elderly man standing there.

The man stood around 6' 4", had gray hair while the center of his head was entirely bald, and light brown eyes that shown with unrestrained glee and knowledge. He was also wearing a black kimono but his had a blood red sash.

"Good morning Tsukune-kun." Said the man as he sat down right next to Tsukune before he turned his attention back to the lake.

"Good morning grandpa." Replied Tsukune never allowing his gaze to falter from what he was staring at.

"What are you looking at?" asked his grandpa as he attempted to assert what Tsukune was looking at.

"Nothing just…thinking." Replied Tsukune as he turned to his grandpa to see him smirking.

Despite the fact that his grandfather was in his fifties he still stood 6' 5", his face was always filled with kindness, had a dark brown hair, and almond brown eyes. He was wearing a black kimono with a white sash.

"About what?" asked his grandpa once again as Tsukune just shrugged his shoulders.

"Mostly about how our family came to be." Replied Tsukune without a single ounce of hesitation before he heard his grandfather chuckle. Once more Tsukune turned his gaze towards his grandfather and saw that he had a twinkle in his eyes.

"Well I think you're old enough to know how our family came to be." Replied his grandfather as Tsukune gave him a pure smile and his grandfather lift him into his lap.

"Now where should I begin…ah I know. Many long years ago long before even I was around our great ancestor Furui Aono had lost his beloved wife Suki Aono to what our family believes could have been a heart attack. Stricken with grief Furui went through the process of purification by passing through the four gates of the elements Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water.

(Story Flashback within a Flashback Within a Flashback(Oh good Kami I'm so going to have a major headache when this is through))

All around nothing could be heard all except for the waterfall that continued to spew forth water from an unknown location and constantly filling the small lake. The lake existed deep within a cavern that had not seen human life in well over several centuries. All together the peace and serenity that existed here was untouched giving the feeling that no matter what peace could be achieved.

Suddenly without warning the peace and serenity was immediately broken as a hand made its way out of the lake before it slammed onto the ground and another joined I shortly after. Not much later a figure raised himself out of the water and flopped himself onto the ground not really caring it he landed on rocks that could very well break his skin and gasped in deep breaths of air. Slowly but surely his breathing returned to normal before he stood up only to stager slightly and grip onto a nearby stalagmite to regain his balance.

The man of course stood 6' 5", looked to be at least in his early twenties, his face was a mess of tangled hair and sweat, had a dark brown hair, and almond brown eyes. He was wearing a white farm shirt and an earth brown color shorts. On his back sat a light brown traveler's pack.

"Kami-sama." Whispered the man before he straightened himself out before he sat on the ground and removed his traveling pack and set it beside him. Not long a long deep sigh could be heard coming from his mouth as he stared at the lake of water in front of him.

'UGH…Suki-chan what I wouldn't give to have one of your massage's once more.' Thought the man as he closed his eyes and imaged his beloved. Her petite frame hugged close to his, the way her hair always smelled like lilacs, and her intense love for him. Calmly he shook himself out of his form of daydreaming as his stomach growled at him.

'I guess I had better eat but only brown rice.' Thought the man as he reached for his pack and calmly opened it up and grabbed a small pouch from it. The small satchel was pretty much an earth brown with a drawstring on the top. Silently he opened the satchel before he set it down on the ground and quickly took a praying seat so that he was bowing to the food.

"I sit here and pray to Kami-sama and Inari may you bless this food and my spirit as I continue my journey." He said before he calmly looked at his food and saw out of the corner of his right eye a shadow move. Quickly he turned towards the shadow while pulling out a small blade before he let it fall to his side.

Calmly walking out of the shadows was a black fox that had deep yellow eyes and a white stomach and its left paw also being white. Silently it approached him and sat there looking at him.

"Hello Kitsune-san." Said the man as he smiled at the fox while it just gave him a yawn in response and chose to lay down. Silently he allowed a feint chuckle escape him before he grabbed the rice and poured some out into his hands which caused the fox to look at him once more.

"Are you hungry Kitsune-san?" asked the man while the fox just looked at him before it blinked in response.

"Well I'm sorry to disappoint you Kitsune-san but I'm afraid that the only thing that I have that you can have to eat is my rice." Said the man before the fox jumped into his lap and stuck its muzzle into his satchel.

"Well I guess you're a vegetarian." Said the man as the fox took a single moment to look at him while the satchel remained on its face causing the man to laugh. Almost immediately even the fox was attempting a form of laughter before it got it down and was laughing similar to the man.

"Well I guess I'll be going now Kitsune-san." Said the man before he quickly ate his rice and stood up. He then proceeded to pick up his pack and calmly made his way even deeper into the cavern. Suddenly without warning he stopped in his tracks and turned around only to see nothing behind him. Calmly he shrugged his shoulders before he continued on his way. Once more without warning he turned around only to still see nothing behind him before he scratched the top of his head in confusion.

"That's odd I could have sworn that I heard something following me." Said the man out loud before he began to hear the sound of purring coming from the top of his head. Almost immediately he attempted to grab whatever was on his head and ended up succeeding with little to no trouble other than the feint scratch that now lay upon his right hand. He then pulled his hands in front of his face to see that it was the same black fox that he just ate with.

"I take it that you want to come with me then." Said the man as the Kitsune just growled and nodded its head in response. Quickly without warning the Kitsune jumped out of the man's hands onto his arms and ran all the way up to his shoulders. It soon after wrapped itself around his neck similar to a black scarf.

"Hahah…hey careful up there that tickles." Said the man as he began to laugh as the kitsune rubbed itself along his neck. Calmly the man laid his hand on the kitsune's head before it began to rub his hand.

"Well we had better get going." Whispered the man as he once more began to make his way forward.

(Several hours later)

Finally, after several miles of never ending tunnels and darkness the man and kitsune finally reached the surface once more only to be meeting with never ending darkness of the night. Almost immediately the man allowed for his head to raise to the sky to see that the moon was just beginning to rise into the night sky.

"Well I guess we won't be able to go any further tonight. So I guess well rest here for the night." Said the man before he turned to his travel companion only to shake his head as he noticed that it had fallen asleep.

'Well at least it understood what I want to do.' Thought the man before he sat down near the kitsune and laid down. Silently he turned towards the kitsune before he quickly picked it up and laid it upon his chest before he soon was also consumed by his own tiredness.

(The next morning)

"Ah AH AHCOOOOO!!!!!" someone sneezed as the sun began to rise into the morning air allowing the earth to regain lost heat. Calmly the man rose up off the ground into a sitting position before he felt a weight slam him back into the ground knocking the breath out of him.

"GUH…I'm too old for this shit." Grunted out the man as he opened his eyes to see the kitsune sitting on his chest just staring at him. Calmly he blinked once, twice, three times before he just released a sigh before he was being licked by the fox all over his face.

"Hey stop that…hahahhahah……that still tickles….hahahhahahhahahhahahah." laughed the man as he soon rolled onto his left side clutching the kitsune close to him. Several minutes later after than man had gained control of his laughter and released the young kitsune. Slowly he raised himself off the ground and looked at the small ball of black fur that was lying on the ground with feint swirls in its eyes this only proceeded to release another fit of laughter from the man.

Slowly the kitsune just turned to him and gave him a rather dirty glare before it gained a grin. Calmly it bent its hind legs back before it pounced onto the man and began to take small bites and licks at him and he in return attempted to doge all the attempts. After several attempts the kitsune finally succeeded in landing a single lick on the man's left cheek as the man grabbed it by the stomach.

"Alright you win." Said the man as he held the kitsune at arm's length away while it struggled to get free from the man's grip before he set down the kitsune and it quickly ran around the man before it jumped onto his head.

"Well aren't you a hyper one." Said the man with little hesitation before he found a rather fresh cut on his forehead courtesy of the now growling kitsune.

"Alright alright well get moving." Said the man before they once more began their journey without any breakfast. It wasn't too long before he was forced to stop as he reached a rather steep cliff that seemed to drop into a never ending abyss. Calmly he just stood there before he bent down a picked up a small piece of gravel that laid near his feet and tossed it down and watched it until he was unable to see it anymore. Then after several minutes of waiting he was rewarded with the feint sound of the rock striking the bottom or at least what he hoped was the bottom.

"Well we need to get down there. Got any ideas little one?" asked the man as he looked up at the kitsune on the top of his head.

Slowly the kitsune began to look around before it began to growl off towards the left. The man then turned his head towards the location that his foxy friend was growling at. Just hanging off the edge of the cliff were several vines that drooped down into the canyon.

"Well I guess that's one way but surely there's another way." Said the man as he began to look around for a more safe and secure way only to be meet with none.

"Well I guess that's the only way down. Guess you're going to have to ride inside of my traveling bag." Said the man as he looked at his traveling foxy companion.

The fox of course only growled in response before it jumped back to the ground as the man removed his travel pack and opened it up. The kitsune then proceeded to jump into the pack before it stuck its head out and the man carefully sealed the pack. Calmly he repositioned the pack onto his back and made his way towards the vines.

"Well…here we go." Said the man as he grabbed one of the thickest and well secured vines before he turned around and started to scale down the edge of the cliff. Slowly and steadily he made his way down towards the bottom before the feint snapping sound could be heard. All of a sudden he opened his eyes and shot his head to the top only to see a bird pecking at the ground. More specifically it was pecking right on the top of the vine he was on. Quickly without warning he jumped to the next closest vine and hung onto it as the other fell towards the bottom.

Then without warning his kitsune friend began to growl as he turned his head towards the top once more only to see that same bird pecking on the vine he was on.

'Oh come on my karma can't be that bad.' Mentally growled the man before the top of the vine fell right by him.

"Mother." Said the man before he started to run in place before he immediately began to fall into the abyss.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The man yelled as he continued to fall at increasing speeds before his back immediately struck a wet surface and he sunk several feet into the liquid. Almost immediately the man realized the major dangers for not only him but his foxy companion. Quickly he swam to the surface and forcing his body to work hard even with the little amount of air he had in his lungs. A few seconds later his head broke the surface before he quickly pulled his pack off of his back and hauled it over his head and soon after he felt the same weight off his fox friend on his head.

"*COUGH COUGH* you all *COUGH* all right?" asked the man as he felt a claw drag across the top of his head in response.

"OOOOWWWWW…a simple growl would have sufficed." Said the man as he started to look around his surroundings only to notice that they seemed to be flowing further away from the vines that they had climbed down. Slowly as if hesitantly trying to avoid the coming danger he turned around to see that there were several sharp jagged rocks sticking out of the water's surface but he also noticed that they were heading towards them.

"Um…your possibly going to want to hang on rather tightly." Said the man as concern filtered into his voice while the fox decided to take his advice and tighten its grip with its tale around his head. Then suddenly they were taken along a strong current as they accelerated towards the rocks and it wasn't too long before the man was taking several strong hits along his back, front, lower and upper sections of his body as he screamed out in pain but the cries were unheard as the water toned them out. Then the pain suddenly subsided and the current gave way to a more gentle touch like a lazy river and the man continued to float along as the kitsune detached itself from him and turned him to the dead man's float and quickly got on top of his stomach.

Calmly the kitsune stood there waiting as the man continued to take deep shallow breaths before the kitsune turned its attention to the end of the cave where a loud falling sound could be heard. Quickly the kitsune turned its attention back to the man only to see him just staring into the ceiling. Calmly almost as if afraid the kitsune made its way towards his face and looked into his eyes and saw absolutely nothing. No fear, no regrets, no happiness, just a void in which his emotions should have existed.

*WHIMPER* the fox whimpered out as the man just continued to stare at the ceiling.

"You know, I first started this journey so I could find the gods and ask them to allow me to have my wife back. But now that I look back on what I have been doing I'm beginning to question why I really started this. Was it because I was so stricken with grief that I wanted to atone for the sins I committed against my wife or was it because if I couldn't get her back that I could die and join her in the world beyond this one. UGH…I guess I'll never know it was nice meeting you kitsune-san. When I die find yourself a good…home." Said the man before his eyes closed just as they had started to go over the falls. Several moments later his body struck the water below him as the kitsune continued to retain a strong hold on him. It wasn't long until his body floated to the surface along with the kitsune still holding onto him.

Quickly the kitsune began to look around for any form of low land and was able to catch a small strip of beach to its left. Calmly it released its hold on the man and jumped into the water before it turned towards the man and grabbed the edge of his shirt. Desperately the kitsune began to pull the man along towards the shore line.

After several minutes the kitsune had finally reached the shore before it began to pull the man along the ground so he was fully out of the water. The kitsune then began to shake its fur out through half lidded eyes before it made its way onto the man's chest and laid down. Just before the kitsune fell asleep it caught sight of a shadowed figure then fell asleep.

(Several days later)

Slowly the man began to open his eyes only to be met with a pair of honey-brown eyes staring straight into his own brown eyes. Quickly the man shot straight back in shock before his head struck a wall right behind him allowing him to take notice of the figure.

The figure was a female that stood 5' 5", had sunlight white hair that reached past her waist, honey-brown eyes, and a face of a young sixteen year old. She was wearing a pure white kimono that was held together with a light yellow sash. In her left hand she held a white cloth before she dropped it as shock consumed her face.

Quickly the figure ran out of the room but not before the man was able to catch sight of the four angel wings that were on her back.

'Wi-wi-wings.' Mentally stuttered the man as he continued to stare at where she exited.

"I'm…dead." Said the man in disbelief as he still continued to stare straight ahead. Slowly depression sunk deep into whatever was left of his soul.

Continuously he continued to sit there against the wall before he heard the door open. Calmly he raised his face to see who had entered only to see the same woman from earlier standing there.

"What do you want?" asked the man in complete depression as he leveled his pain-filled eyes to her own eyes.

"No not what I want but what my mistress wants of you Furui Aono." Said the girl as she continued to stand there as the man stared at her in shock.

"Oh don't be surprised we know everything about you Furui-san. We know why you started this journey, we know what you wish to ask, but the only thing we don't know is your future. Now please come with me my mistress doesn't like to be kept waiting." Said the woman as she approached him.

"Al-all right." Was Furui's simple reply before he rose off of the ground and started to follow the woman out of the room into a rather large entry way.

The entry way was possibly at best guess at least 3 acres from each corner of the room to the other and the walls stood at least twenty four feet tall. The room was set in a perfect square and had four podiums in each corner and twelve in the center of the room that were separated by five feet and was also set in a perfect square. In the center of the room as a twenty-four foot tall by twelve foot long water fountain.

The water fountain was separated into three different layers. The first layer was a stone carving of skeletons standing and holding up the second piece of the fountain. Along the skeletons feet was a line of black fire that when you stared into it felt as if you had to touch it. The second layer was designed like a clearing similar to the one that Furui grew up on. On the land were several rivers, small villages, ponds, mountains, seas, oceans, and several other things on it. Finally the final layer was designed to look like the heavens and on the heavens was a large temple which was encompassed in light coming from the opening from the ceiling above. From the top of the temple the water flowed down into the rivers, lakes, seas, and oceans of the second layer before it fell into bottom layer and touched the black fire and dissipated into steam and continued the cycle.

Surrounding the fountain were several exotic plants ranging from flowers to trees. Filtering amongst the plants were several animals foxes, raccoons, dogs, hawks, and the list could go on.

"Amazing." Whispered Furui as he continued to stare at the marvelous detail and precision of the plants location it almost was like a garden for the gods.

"Yes it is." Replied someone from behind the man which in turn caused the man to turn in shock and take notice of the figure.

This figure was a male that stood 5' 5", had brown hair, blue eyes, and looked no older than sixteen years of age. The man was wearing a rather basic white t-shirt, earthy brown pants, and had no shoes.

"Mitsukai you're dismissed and don't worry I have been asked to take him to our lady." Said the man to the female he had been following for the most part.

"Of course." Replied Mitsukai before she spread her wings and took to the skies all the while a few of her feathers fell from her wings.

"Um…not to be rude, but where are we going?" asked Furui as he returned his gaze back to the man that stood before him.

"You said before you fell off of the falls that you wanted to speak to the gods did you not." Replied the man as he just smiled at Furui.

"Uh…yes but how do you know?" asked Furui as he just stared at the man in shock and fear.

"I have my ways. Now Lady Amaterasu awaits your arrival and it is best to not make a goddess wait ever." Said the man before he started to walk off and Furui just followed.

For several minutes Furui continued to follow the man before him up until they reached a pair of double doors. The double doors stood the full length of twenty four feet tall walls, were blood red with two solid gold rings. The two solid gold rings hung twelve feet off of the ground and were attached to the door with three foot long bronze bearings. Finally on the door were two dragons painted on the doors surface. The first dragon ran the whole length of the door from the ground to the ceiling, was a midnight black color, had blood red eyes with a yellow reptilian slit running through the center, and its left claw reached over to the other door. The other dragon was a pure white, it also ran the same length as the other dragon, had silver eyes with a golden slit running through the center, and its right claw reached over to the left door and was firmly grasped in the other dragon's claw.

"Now that's craftsmanship." Said Furui as he continued to stare at the dragons before he jumped in shock as the dragons turned their eyes towards him.

"Hahahahahah." Laughed the man as he just stared at Furui who just turned to him and the dragons did the same only Furui was a pale white that was reserved for sheets.

"oh sorry hang on." Said the man before he lifted up his right arm.

Calmly Furui looked closely at the arm only for his jaw to drop to the floor in shock as several intricated kanji made themselves know on his arms. Soon after all the kanji disappeared and Furui quickly turned his attention back towards the door hoping that the man didn't catch him starring. Shortly after he noticed that the two dragons were releasing their entwined hands and were moving them towards their opposite rings. Soon they had grabbed the rings in their hands and gave them a quick tug allowing the doors to open just enough for Furui and the man to enter with no trouble.

Calmly the man began to walk towards the doors and Furui quickly followed after in fear of being left behind. As they passed by the doors Furui could still feel as if the dragons were still looking at him from behind as he absently looked at how thick the doors were only to look on in shock when he realized that the doors were a least three feet thick. Almost without warning Furui quickly sprinted up to the man to the point that he was right behind him. Just as he caught up to the man Furui heard the doors being sealed right behind him.

Almost out of fear Furui gulped before he ran right into the man and fell onto his ass. Slowly he looked up at the man only to notice that he was looking forward with a steeled expression. Then he noticed the man immediately disappear in a large black flame. Slowly Furui continued to stare at the place where the man stood and noticed that there was no scorch marks on the wooden floors.

Calmly Furui stood up and began to look around his surroundings without moving. In front of him lied a throne that glowed an eerie blue color, was made of solid gold, had light red silk cushions on it, and had several intricated designs imbedded into the surface. Surrounding the throne were four copper lamps that had a black fire burning from the wick that stuck out of the top. To the left of the throne was an open doorway that was covered with a black silk curtain that prevented anyone from seeing through it. To the right of the throne was another open doorway that also covered with a sheet of black silk that prevented anyone from seeing through.

Just as he finished taking in his surroundings he heard something mess with the curtain to the left of the throne. Calmly he turned his attention to the curtain to see the same man that led him to this room holing the curtain open for someone. Then he could feint chanting before four people walked out holding torches that also had black fire burning in them. The people wore what looked to be a white priest outfit that was a pure white and wore instead of a cross it was a circle with a star in the center. Slowly the four people continued to walk towards the throne before each one stopped in front of one of the copper lamps.

Calmly Furui turned his gaze back towards the man that led him here only to see him walking towards the throne as well. Calmly he continued to watch as the man quickly approached the throne and stopped at the side of it and just turned towards him and gave a quick nod of his head.

Just shortly after the nod all four priests stabbed their torches into the lanterns increasing the flame on the torches.

Silently Furui, the priests, and the man stood there for a few moments. Furui could tell that the man that led him here was becoming agitated since he was growling rather lowly.

"I'll be right back." Said the man before he disappeared into another pillar of black flames. Several moments later almost everyone could hear the distinct sound of a door being slammed open. It was then followed by the sound of someone yelling which was then followed by more yelling and then silence.

"She'll be right down." Someone said behind Furui causing him to jump in shock while turning in mid-air. He then released a light sigh when he saw that it was the same man that led him here in the first place.

(Several minutes later)

"I thought you said that she would be right down." Said Furui as his left eye was beginning to twitch.

"That's what she told me. It actually wouldn't have surprised me if she actually fell asleep once almost immediately after I woke her up. I'll be right back." Said the man before he disappeared in another black flame while all the priests just stood there as did Furui. Several moments later the same man could be seen flying out of the right door before his back slammed against the throne. Fearfully Furui turned his gaze towards the door that the man came flying out of only to have his jaw drop in shock.

Standing in the door way was a woman who stood 5', had brown hair that covered her right eye and ended in a ponytail on the back of her head, looked to be at least fifteen to sixteen years old, blue eyes, and an A-cup bust size. The woman was wearing a black kimono with a white sash that had gold flames embroided into it that was holding it in place and traditional wooden sandals on her feet. Tied on her sash were two short swords that had a light blue handle on each. Her face on the other hand was scrunched up in an angry snarl.

"The next time I tell you I'll be right down I mean it." The woman growled out as the man just stood up on shaky legs while he rubbed his head.

"Yeah whatever. Now if you haven't noticed yet you have company." Said the as he pointed at Furui who was doing his best to act like statue.

"Oh." She said in shock as she turned her gaze towards Furui before she also disappeared in a whirl wind and appeared right in front of Furui causing him to fall on his ass from shock.

"Oops sorry." Said the woman as she covered her mouth with one of her hands to prevent her from laughing out loud while in the back ground the man just muttered something along the lines of, 'Gods can't live with them, but at the same time we can't live without them'.

"Truly I'm sorry about that. I'm the goddess Amaterasu and you would be..." started Amaterasu as she held her hand out to Furui.

"Uh…I'm Furui Aono." Replied Furui in shock as he took her hand before he was pulled to his feet. Shortly after he was back on his feet he was immediately pulled by Amaterasu up until the point that he was standing just outside of the area that the priest inhabited at the time.

"Now then Furui-san…care to tell me as to why you wanted to seek out the gods?" asked Amaterasu as she sat on the throne while Furui just stood there in pure shock.

"Um…well…" started Furui before he was interrupted by the man from earlier.

"Ugh…the reason why he sought out the gods was so he could ask for his beloved wife to have a second chance at life with him, and if I remember correctly her name was Suki." Finished the man before he was hit on the back of his head via an angry goddess.

"IF I WANTED YOUR OPINOIN I WOULD HAVE ASKED FOR IT!!" Shouted Amaterasu as the man just laid there on the ground.

"Actually that was the reason." Replied Furui in a rather weak voice as he noticed her head turn towards him.

*SIGH*"Look Furui…I'm sorry but I can't bring your wife back to life." Replied Amaterasu in a hurt voice that was also filled with sympathy.

"And before you start to complain I do know of one loop hole but for this to work you and your wife would have to give up your human existence and trade it for a new existence."

"Amaterasu-dono if I choose this route what will my wife and I become?" asked Furui as he kept his face hidden from view.

"You and your wife would become know as a monster race called the soul eater." Replied Amaterasu.

"I'll do it and I know that my wife would do the same." Said Furui as everyone just looked at him in sadness knowing that he was speaking the truth.

"Very well then. Michael would you please go ahead and retrieve his wife's soul." Commanded Amaterasu as she leveled him with a glare before he could even attempt to talk back.

"Of course…my lady." Said Michael in a defeated voice before he disappeared.

Several moments later Michael had returned with a woman in his arms.

The woman stood at least 6', had light brown hair, deep almond brown eyes, and looked to be in her early twenties. She was currently wearing a white kimono that seemed to glow and had a light blue sash that held it together.

"Fu-Furui-kun." Whispered the woman in shock as she made her way towards Furui.

"Su-Suki-chan!" yelled the man as he ran up to Suki and embraced her in a hug. He then proceeded to lift her off of the ground, spin around, and set her back on the ground.

"Furui what are you doin…" started Suki before she was cut off by her lips being claimed by her husband's.

"UGH…go get a room you two." Said Michael as he gagged.

"Come on Mike…it isn't that bad. Now I had better complete my end of the deal." Said Amaterasu as she raised her hands up above her head before the four flames that were on the torches began to encircle her body before they rose up into her hands in two equally sized black flame spheres. Quickly without warning she threw them straight at the two kissing adults striking them in their sides but instead went straight threw them and never appeared on the other side of them.

Without warning they both collapsed in each other's arms and the last image they both say was Amaterasu smiling at them.

(Somewhere on Earth)

Slowly ever so slowly Furui began to awaken before his eyes took in the sight. Just above him was the blue sky, to his left was the river and waterfall that he floated on, laying on his chest was kitsune that he met, and to his left was his wife.

Carefully he removed the kitsune from on top of him and his wife from his right arm before he set the kitsune on top of his wife. Slowly he stood up and turned towards his left only to see the Michael. Calmly Michael signaled to Furui for him to come up to him. Calmly he turned his gaze to his wife only to smile as the kitsune snuggled closer to his wife and then took off towards where Michael stood.

"Your possibly wondering as to why I'm here aren't." said Michael as he stared out towards a field that expanded in front of them.

"Yeah." Said Furui as he also starred out towards the large flat plains.

"Amaterasu has decided that you and your future family can live here on the god plain." Said Michael as he motioned to the plain before them.

"Enjoy it." Whispered Michael before he vanished without anything.

Calmly Furui continued to stand there before he felt a presence to his right. Calmly he turned his head only to see the smiling face of his wife before he gripped her hand in his and they turned their attention back towards the plain.

(End Story Flashback within a Flashback within a Flashback)

"So what happened to them grandpa?" asked Tsukune as he stared up at his grandfather in hopes of getting an answer.

"You'll learn the rest eventually Tsukune." Was his grandfather's reply before he looked to his left to see a woman standing there.

The woman stood at least 5' 7", had gray hair, looked to be in her late fifties, deep almond brown eyes filled with kindness, and an elderly face that was also filled with years of happiness and kindness. She was wearing a black kimono with a white sash.

"Hello grandma." Said Tsukune with a large smile and his grandma matching the smile fully.

"Hello Tsukune. So what are my two favorite men speaking about?" asked Tsukune's grandma as curiosity burned deep inside her eyes.

"Grandpa was just telling me about how out family was started but he stopped just after a man named Michael had left." Replied Tsukune with a large smile before a hand was placed on his head.

"He did. Well it is important to find out your families origins but I was sent out here to let you know that breakfast is ready." Said his grandma before Tsukune shot up from his grandpa's lap and ran off towards the house.

"So you didn't tell him the whole story." Said Tsukune's grandma as she starred at her husband.

"No…but I have a feeling that Tsukune will at one point in his life finally learn the truth. But until then I want him to act like a child Suki-chan." Replied Tsukune's grandpa as he stared at Tsukune who had no idea what they were talking about.

"Of course Furui-kun." Replied his wife as she to watched Tsukune.

Slowly Tsukune opened his eyes once more before he rose to his feet and proceeded to shut the shower off before he stepped out. Quickly his hands shot out and grabbed the towel that was hanging on the wall. Almost immediately he wrapped the towel around his body hopping to conserve the heat that the water gave him just a little longer. He then proceeded to dry himself off without any worry before he placed on his clothes.

Calmly he turned his attention towards the fully steamed mirror before he wiped some of the steam off of the mirror.

Calmly he starred into the mirror. Starring right at him wasn't his usual chocolate brown eyes but rather instead it was a pair of deep yellow that glowed like the moon and had a blood red reptilian slit running through them. Slowly he raised his gaze only to see midnight black hair with thin streaks of silver running through it.

Quickly without warning Tsukune smashed his fist into the mirror. The mirror was then shattered and fell to the counter top like rain. Calmly Tsukune removed his fist from where the mirror originally hung and saw that his whole fist had cuts along the surface.

'Why…why can't I be normal.' Thought Tsukune as he just allowed his blood to run free from his cuts. Calmly Tsukune bent down and opened one of the cabinet doors. He then proceeded to pull out Hydrogen Peroxide, gaze, a towel, and medical tape. Calmly he held his hand over the sink as he opened the Hydrogen Peroxide with the other hand and then poured on his cuts. Suddenly without warning he hissed in pain as the Hydrogen Peroxide made contact with his ruined flesh before it became a sigh of relief. He then picked up the towel and placed it on his hand removing the remaining blood. After that he then placed the gaze onto his hand before he grabbed the medical tape and started to tape the gaze to him.

"Well…I guess mom's lessons on medicine was useful but I'm possibly going to have to expand it just like my anei increased my vocab." Said Tsukune before he opened the bathroom door and made his way back to the kitchen to see if his mom had anything for him to do.

"Kaa-san." Said Tsukune as he entered the kitchen before he stopped in his tracks as the scent of blood struck him in the face. Immediately he covered his nose with his unbandaged hand as he looked around for the origin of the scent. It wasn't long before he discovered the scent's location as tears welled up into his eyes. Lying there in a pool of blood were his parents.

His father looked to have been stabbed several times in his chest and his throat was slit from one end to the other.

His mother on the other hand was naked, had several bruises, wounds, and cuts along her body.

"No…nonononononononNO!!!" shouted Tsukune as his shadow began to wrap around him before they were blasted off by his yokai. Shortly after Tsukune fell to his knees as sadness gripped at his heart before he saw his mom's lips moving

"Tsu…Tsukune…cough…in…in the cabinets…coughcough…there are two…soul stones. Get them." Whispered his mother as before he stood up and ran towards the cabinets and started to search them with little regard for what they held. Seconds later he found one small diamond along with a small match box and grabbed both before he ran back to his mother.

"I…I found it mom. Now what do I do?" asked Tsukune as he sat in the pool of his parents blood.

"You…you need…need to…place it…cough…on my…heart." Replied his mother before she broke out in a coughing fit that filled her mouth with blood. Without hesitation Tsukune laid the diamond on her heart then there was a flash of light that slightly blinded Tsukune for a few moments. Calmly Tsukune removed his hands from his face and saw that the diamond had grown slightly in size. Slowly Tsukune reached over his mother's deceased carcass and picked up the diamond.

'Mom.' Thought Tsukune sadly as he held the diamond to his chest with his eyes closed. Slowly he opened his eyes and took one last glance at his parents and walked away. Calmly he placed the diamond into his pants before he lit one of the matches and threw it onto his parents blood.

Almost immediately his parents blood caught on fire and consumed their bodies before it began to spread along the walls.

"Goodbye." Was the last thing Tsukune said before he stepped out of the burning building that used to be his home through the back entrance. As soon as he got outside he immediately broke into a run into the forest hopping to never return to his former home for several years.

(End Flashback)

"After I ran away I had attempted to figure out what exactly this gem is or was." Said Tsukune as he pulled it out of his pocket. Everyone just starred at the gem in Tsukune's hands.

The gem itself was pure white with feint lines of pink running through it. The gem also glowed with a feint amount of light but everyone chalked that up to the rooms light.

"Wow…that is a gem but, why do I feel a feint yokai signature coming from it?" asked Moka's mother as she carefully picked it up.

"Really you can feel the yokai signature as well." Said Tsukune in both shock and surprise.

"Yeah but the truly odd thing is that it feels familiar." Said Moka's mother once more as she took on a thoughtful expression. Moka and her father on the other hand just opted to stay quiet and watch them while they continued to look at the gem until Moka's father's eyes widened in shock.

"I know what that gem is." He said without hesitation while everyone turned to him.

"What is it?" asked Tsukune as everyone turned their attention to Moka's father.

"That gem is actually a soul gem. The soul gems were used by soul eaters to contain the souls of strong deceased warriors. But there were a few tales of when a soul eater died that they would ask whoever was close to them to place the gem on them and then they would seal their own soul into the gem. After a year the gem would turn a pure pink, yellow, red, or any other color and that color depicted what type of soul was contained inside of it. My best guess is that your mother asked you to seal her soul into the gem so she could tell you who killed her and teach you how to properly use your soul eater powers. How long ago was it again that your mother died and what was her name?" asked Mr. Akashiya as he starred at Tsukune.

"It was two months ago. My mother's name was Kasumi." Said Tsukune as his eyes dimmed slightly while Moka's parents eyes widen in shock.

"Tsukune!!!!!" someone shouted causing everyone to jump and turn towards the elevator shaft that was 'out of order' to see a shadow that looked exactly like Tsukune.

"What is it anei?" asked Tsukune in a serious tone.

"The cops are here in the main lobby looking for you." Said his anei while the Akashiya family just looked at him in silence.

"Tsukune…not to be rude or anything but……WHY THE HELL ARE THE POLICE AFTER YOU!!!!!!!" shouted Moka's parents at the same time.

"Well heheh…you see…um…I've been on the run from the cops because…um well I kind of…ran away from a…ugh squad of officers who were looking for me after I set my home on fire. I had also killed a few of them and they possibly chalked it up to the fact that I was afraid that they were the ones that killed my parents." Replied Tsukune as he rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment.

"Hold on I'll go talk to them." Said Moka's father as he approached the elevator that worked and pushed the button for the elevator. A few seconds later the doors opened up before Mr. Akashiya stepped inside and shut the door behind him as everyone else to notice of the analog numbers showing them what floor he was on. Then without warning the elevator numbers suddenly plummeted straight to the ground floor.

"ANEIIIIIIIIIII!!!!" shouted Tsukune as he turned his enraged face towards his shadow who was standing there holding a smell dial in his hands.

"Uhhhh…IT WAS HIM!!!!!" shouted his Anei as he tossed it to some poor bird that was in its cage fast asleep. Suddenly without warning he felt as he was pulled from underneath his own feet before he was gone.

"I swear this shadow of mine is far more trouble then he's worth." Growled out Tsukune as he punched the wall leaving a pretty good sized whole in the wall.

"Tsukune." Said Moka's mother as he turned his attention to her.

"I would like to know what happened after you escaped the cops on that night." Said Moka's mother as she just stared at him.

"All right." Said Tsukune as he took a deep breath before he released it.

"After I escaped the cops I went straight to Kushiro because I had heard that the Akashiya's and Kitsune clans were going to sign a treaty to end the feuds in between their races. About one month in I was approached by a masked person who told me that one of the members of the kitsune clan. At the time though I was searching for hints to finding the oldest library used by the gods and was in luck since it turned out the library was hidden in Kushiro. I told him that I would do so and then after that he just disappeared. That's basically everything that has happened to me. Plus with what your husband told us about that gem of mine makes sense and explains why I talk and know what I do. I mean I understand why Moka talks and acts the way she does especially since she is from a powerful and ancient clan that prides themselves on proper edict and stuff." Said Tsukune as he just smiled and rubbed the back of his head.

"You mean like hotwiring a car and I don't take offence to what you said since it is rather true." Snickered Moka as Tsukune just joined her. Moka's mother on the other hand just looked at Tsukune in sadness before a light bulb popped up on the top of her head.

"Tsukune…how would you like to come live with us?" asked Moka's mother as Tsukune and Moka stopped their laughing to stare at her in shock.

"A…are you…serious?" asked Tsukune as he looked at her. Calmly she nodded her head in a positive notion before she was assaulted by two young children hugging her. Suddenly without warning the stair well door opened up showing Moka's father standing there.

"What'd I miss?" He asked as he just watched his wife hand Tsukune his gem back.

"Well all I can say is this were going to have another mouth to feed." Replied his wife before he fainted in shock.

"Um…I think he took that well mom." Said Moka as she just looked at her.

"Or he thought that you were pregnant." Said Tsukune as he just laughed and even though no else could hear it someone else was laughing at Mr. Akashiya's predicament.

"Um…Tsukune why would you say that?" asked Moka as she looked at.

"Well the fact that your mother has the feint scent of another soul on her could account for something." Said Tsukune as he just looked at Moka's mother.

"You mean I really am…pre…pre…pregnant." She said in shock before everyone once more heard something fall to the ground. Calmly everyone turned towards the sound only to see Moka's father on the floor in a different postion.

"Yeah he took that well." Said Moka before Moka and Tsukune broke out into another fit of laughter while thinking, 'The next nine months are going to be hell for him but pure black mail for me.'

Well that's all for chapter two hope you enjoyed it and I hate to say it but the only reason why this was so late was because I was getting distracted by whole lot of shit. And for those of you who care this chapter was 36 pages long with 15,710 words.

Oh yeah before I forget for those of you who add me too your favorite authors of favorite stories list…………LEAVE A REVIEW!!!!!!!! I mean come on is it so hard to just strike your mouse and type a sentence for a review. I mean come on its not that hard. Reviews are what keep me typing and just so you know I will not post out the next chapter until I have at least twenty or more reviews. If some people leave more than one review per chapter then it doesn't really bother me but if I get five reviews from one person then it will be considered only two reviews. Well for those of you who are going on fall break or are already on fall break I wish you a happy break.

Now then Reviews:

Review of first part:

Boy: "Get in the car? Wow, shotaconism is running rampant these days, isn't it?"

Full review:
Tsukune turned 8 year old action hero, quite a unique twist. Moka's family, a monster equivalent of a Yakuza family, nice. A 5 year old kitsune boy was the employer of those kidnappers, cool.

I liked this. Though I won't poke fun at how OOC everyone was, but for a couple of kids to be able to pull all that off was unique. I never would have thought to use such a premise, but you made it work with relative ease.

But Tsukune's gonna have a lot of explaining to do, and the cops aren't gonna turn a blind eye unless someone forces them to. But I can almost see Tsukune taking up residence with Moka and her family since he doesn't have one of his own anymore. But being that he's a triple S class monster, may slightly overshadow things.

You did good with the chapter setup and the length as well. It had it's beginning, middle and a conclusive end that's left open for more. The word count being so large means that all the above can be covered in one chapter at a time. I would recommend that you continue writing chapters in this way so that if for some reason, you find you need to go on hiatus, you won't be leaving us readers stranded in the middle of the story with no conclusive end. As long as you can keep things interesting, you can continue this as far as you like.

One last thing, I'm not sure how well you read over this with your spell check(if you had one), but there are a couple of errors in spellings or wrong words used for things, even if they were spelled correctly, with spell check will not catch. One that comes to mind is the word "fallow", that's supposed to be "follow". Fix those and you're good to go.

Time to go, later.

ITD: Yeah I know that everyone was out of character I hope that I at least caught their true personalities in this chapter. I was really grateful for your long review. I also glad you caught some of my spelling errors and just so you know I do have spell check but I might have just ignored those errors a total fault on my behalf.

Daiski

Not to be critical, but did you make a typo in the start. Are you sure our male & female protagonist are 26 or 27 instead of 6 or 7?
I mean come on their speech and behavior are not of a 6 year old. Hotwiring a car and driving off with it like a professional driver, that's just too laughable for a 6 year old. Unless that's you intention from the start, a fictional comedy. The car chase was just over the top that had me laughing out loud. I was eating paste and peeing in bushes when I was 6, not handling TNT. Well unless them little caps that you use to hit with a rock or put in a toy gun can count as TNT.

I just had to stop I couldn't take it anymore. Maybe I go back and try to finish this first page with a different mindset.

ITD: I'm grateful for your honesty and I hope this chapter clears up some of those misconceptions that you were unable to understand.
