Kida-Asumi, the Captin of Sirius

- 1996-

As Lin watched Kida run from Oten and Ken in the meadow below, she smiled to herself.

The last two years had been peaceful years. Sam and Jo remained living with Jin and Lin during the school year, and moved to live with Jo and Sana in the summer. Little Ken followed after Sam like a shadow. Being eight years older, Sam didn't mind. The boy was very intelligent. He tutored college students in math and edited their essays to make some extra cash. Jin and Lin had him enrolled into a special private school. Jo, on the other hand, was in the advanced classes in the public schools. He was too nervous to be as confident as Sam, and that held him back. Lin was excited to see how little Ken would be.

Oten and Kida were developing well. They were meeting their milestones and were happy and healthy. Kida was Itachi's baby girl, it quickly became apparent. He shadowed everything she did. It was very amusing to watch. Sasuke, Akina, and Riki had grown closer as they aged. Since Sasuke and Akina were forced to take the same classes at the same time due to their need to learn together for the sake of the companies, Mikoto had it set so that Riki took the classes with them. This thrilled the three of them and school was a good experience for them. They came home happy and feeling smarter. Kane and Itachi had similar good experiences. Both were intelligent and got straight A's, much to Mikoto's pride.

Her daughter-in-law was as close to the President as ever. In fact, Sana and Obito let it slip that a day did not pass without some form of communication between them. Lin couldn't help but guess that soon she would have the President as an in-law. After all, it wasn't that hard to guess at.

Sebastian kept in contact with Lin. They would meet every now and then for tea and catch up on one another's lives. Their bond was strengthening and Lin couldn't be more thrilled.

Two years later and Lin was still healing from losing all of her children. She still had no idea where Madara could be. She was too busy with the companies and Oboro's sons to bother to find out. Jin and Obito took three month turns helping with the troops. Liz and Lin alternated trips to England monthly. Mikoto worked at home for the most part.

Her business was prospering and her family was healthy.

What more could a girl ask for?

- 2025 -

"Lin." A gentle voice called to her. Lin squeezed her eyes shut tightly. "Don't be afraid, Lincent. You are safe. I am here now." Slowly, her dark eyes opened.

"Am I dead?" She whispered, looking into a pair of blue eyes. A young man was holding her and he was smiling down at her gently.

"No, you are not. You are, in fact, in the process of going through a metamorphosis of sorts." He explained. Lin frowned.

"What do you mean?" She asked. He sighed.

"You are going to awaken without any of your memories. I have, however, taken great care to ensure that you will be safe no matter what." He murmured, tucking her hair behind her ear. When he did, Lin gasped.

"Momma?" She asked, reaching up to touch his face. Ciel nodded, his blue eyes glittering with unshed tears.

"I am so glad you're safe, Lincent. Your father did a good job, as did Lizzy and her husband." He murmured. Lin hugged Ciel tightly, tears streaming down her face.

"Where are we?" She asked, looking around. Ciel shook his head.

"Don't ask. You do not want to know. You are so beautiful. You have a great resemblance to me." He smirked proudly. Lin laughed, gripping his hand.

"Daddy tells me that often." She said. When Ciel visibly saddened, she frowned and cupped his face.

"He still loves you. Even after all this time, you are his one and only. Never doubt that." She said. Ciel nodded.

"I am aware. I watch after all of you. I always have and I always will." He promised. Lin beamed.

"I knew it. Oh, Momma, I knew you were always with me. Keeping me safe and guiding me through the darkness." She murmured, wiping away her tears. Ciel's hand joined hers and he nodded.

"I have been, my baby, I have been. I love you so much, Linny." He said, tears leaking from his eyes. Lin laughed, hugging him tightly. Ciel returned the hug. "I love your father too. I miss him." Ciel whispered. The sadness in his voice caused Lin's heart to break.

"Oh, Momma." She murmured, squeezing tighter. "Someday you two can be together again." She said. Ciel nodded. Looking up, he frowned.

"Come, Lincent, we must go." He said. He stood, helping her up.

"Momma?" She questioned. Ciel shook his head, grabbing her hand and running towards a door invisible to Lin's eyes.

"Goodbye, Lincent Rachel Phantomhive-Michaelis! I love you." He said, shoving her through the door. With a scream, Lincent disappeared.

As Ciel turned away, he sighed.

He was unaware that he would see his lover and daughter again within the next decade.

"Hello? Miss, can you hear me?" Rachel groaned awake, looking around. She appeared to be in an alleyway, but outside of that, she had no idea where she was. Or who she was, for that matter. Standing in front of her was a male with bright red hair and kind brown eyes. He looked vaguely familiar.

"Have we met?" She asked. The man frowned.

"I thought that too. My name is Famruse Nai. If you want, you can come back to my place and we can try and identify you." He offered. Rachel smiled, standing up.

"Thanks, stranger. Or friend. Maybe enemy." She muttered. Famruse laughed.

"I think this is the start of a beautiful something." He declared. As Rachel stared at him, she couldn't help but agree.

It was the start of something new as well
