"Welcome back!" Moka called out. She was back to the pink haired version of herself and ran up and hugged Jason, but only for a brief moment before returning to Tsukune's side.

"Hey Kurumu, how have you been?" Jason's voice was calm but also slightly shaky.

"I'm okay." Kurumu looked over to me and Jason's eyes followed.

"Hey buddy, glad to see you aren't dead." Jason reached his hand out towards me. I shook it firmly and it made me smile.

"Sure thing, but you're still causing me trouble after all these years." We both laughed a little before Jason took a seat on the couch.

"Jeremy, this is Mizore. She... She's my wife." Jason looked over to the smile on the pale girl's face. They held hands and as I looked at them, I noticed the rings.

"C-Congrats." I said, taking a seat across from him. "Hey guys, you mind if I fill him in? I've got some questions too..."

Moka, Tsukune, and Kurumu all nodded and started to leave the room.

"I'll give you some time alone." Mizore said as she stood up. "Nice to meet you." She held a hand out and I shook it gently.

'Cold!' I stared as she walked out of the room, probably going to talk with the other three.

Jason stood up and walked over to the window. "So... how much do you know?" His hand was in his pocket hand his other was supporting him against the wall.

"Enough to have questions. How long were you with them?" Jason got straight to the point, so I did too.

"Long before I met you, that's for sure." He turned around and leaned against the wall. A dark look filled his eyes.

"Why didn't you ever say anything?" My arms moved on their own as I started to feel slightly angry.

"To keep you safe." He sighed as he closed his eyes. "They're dangerous. My plan was to disappear and then maybe, they'd give up. They went after you instead."

"Who are you?" I asked. Jason looked up at me with his same calm expression, but I could read that he was slightly offended as I looked him in the eyes.

"I'm Blaze, the pyro of The Kings. Long before I went to Seattle, I started The Kings as a kid looking for a thrill, but it got out of hand." Jason moved off the wall and walked around as he spoke. "Then, after I got hurt, I met Gale." Jason snarled his name as he clenched a fist.

"He took it from me and turned them all into murderers, and I wasn't able to stop him. He made all of us kill people, and some of them couldn't take that. They lost it, I lost good people to him like that." The moment of silence reflected the anger I could feel from inside him.

"After he attacked the school, I tried to disappear again." I listened to his explanation with wide eyes.

"That's who I am." Jason let out a deep breath before falling back on his position on the couch as he finished.

"So what exactly is your situation?" Jason raised an eyebrow as he waited for a response.

"I was attacked." I told him. "I would've died if it wasn't for Kurumu, she convinced Moka to give me blood but... I turned into a ghoul." Jason's eyes widened and he leaned forward.

"You mean-" I cut him off as his jaw dropped.

"I'm no longer human." An awkward silence fell over the two of us. We could hear the other four in the room beside us talking because of how quiet it was.

"I-I see." Jason leaned back in his seat with a confused look.

"I forgot to tell you, I was attacked by a friend of yours." Jason looked back up to me yet again as he waited for me to finish.

"Anatomy?" He took the words right from my mouth.

"Yeah, who is he?" I asked, slightly curious as to the identity of who tried to kill me.

"He was one of the original members of The Kings. I defeated him back during thr fight at Yokai, but I didn't kill him. I doubt he'd do this on his own though... so that means..." Jason jumped up with a look of fear.

"That means he's taking orders." Jason ran over to the door that the other four members of our group were chatting behind.

"Jason? What's wrong?" Mizore asked as she walked up to him.

"We've got a problem. I think I figured out what's going on."

Kurumu, Moka, Tsukune, and Mizore all came out to the room Jason and I were talking in and sat down.

"Jason, what happened?" Tsukune asked. Jason was pacing in front of them, seemingly thinking.

"Anatomy isn't one to do something like this on his own. Trust me on this one, I've known him for years." Jason started to mumble to himself as everyone waited patiently.

"So he wouldn't be after you guys like this. Moka and Tsukune, you guys haven't seen him after Yokai, right?" Moka and Tsukune looked at each other.

"No, never." Tsukune said as he looked at me. "Not even whilst we followed Jeremy."

I didn't really care that they were following me, probably since returning to Seattle. Jason probably did that to protect me, but I was more worried about what he was trying to say right now.

"Anatomy follows orders. He's good at listening to them and he's good at carrying them out. That means that somebody gave him this order." He looked at all of us. A paranoid feeling was set over the room as his eyes stayed wide.

"Somebody knows who all of us are, what we're capable of, and where we are right now." Everyone in the room exchanged glances before returning their eyes to Jason.

"What does this mean?" Moka asked with a scared expression.

"It means somebody just as powerful, maybe more powerful than Gale is after us. Somebody with authority, somebody with an advantage." Jason took a deep breath before he finished.

"The only question is..."

"Who?"
