chapter 44
I snorted moving out onto the deck out in to the India sun "when you coming home" Garp asked over the phone more like whined as I left a few of the court in charge in the Valley, I eyed the crew and the add on. that being Sabo, Ace, Coby, Helmeppo, Bell-mere and Nojiko, the women all sunning themselves, Franky up at the helm, Sanji I just left in the kitchen, Zoro up in the tower if I'm hearing right, Brook round the back with his violin, the rest running around down on the main deck chancing the spirit form of Sunny in a game of tag by the looks of it.
I rolled my eyes as my elder whined in my ear before letting out a sigh "Jiji, It's not that hard of a job to do, all you have to do is keep things running and try not to burn down the Valley" I said moving to lean on the railing.
The boys waved up at me so I grinning at them, Sabo tilted his head 'Garp' he mouthed, I rolled my eyes making sure he can see before nodding listening to the puppy like whines. the man should grow up at some time, it's not like I am asking him to run everything "Luffy" was whined loudly. I held the phone away from my ear as the others laughed so I flipped them off "Jiji, all I am asking is for you to keep an eye on the build not run everything, I want it finished in time for yule" I told the elder. I can picture him pouting at the phone and had to stop myself from rolling my eyes "but It's hard" he said sounding like a three year old.
I rubbed my forehead "JIJI I am on holiday with my crew, meaning I am taking a brake from work, You have to look after one building site and police the valley, yet I'm still sitting down for an hour a day to go over paper work. you have two jobs TWO, I am running ten business meaning getting feed back from all ten golems each night, running the court, looking out for other reborns and on top of that school work every day of the week. So do not tell me it's too hard because by the seas and ancestors I will kill you family or not, DO YOU DAMN JOB" I yelled before putting the phone down closing my eyes.
I opened them at a touch to my arm, I looked down seeing Bell-mere the only adult on the ship, she smiled grabbing my wrist pulling me down onto the main deck "no more work for you milord as you've said your on holiday let those who you've put in charge do the work" she said reaching out taking the phone from my hand. I huffed at the title as she said it letting her pull me over to a hammock "get some rest" She said letting go, I gave her a small smile before leaning down placing a kiss to the top of her head "right mum~" I said getting a swot on the arm.
when I opened my eyes the sky was orange with five bodies using me as a pillow, without looking down I can tell it's the five youngest, I turned my head seeing everyone else around the low table talking softly, from the sound of it, the crew are telling tales of the islands and adventures we had to Bell-mere and Nojiko. I spotted my phone in the middle of the table as it lite up Sanji gabbed it answering "yes, this is the shitty restaurant can I take your order - no sorry they is no one by the name of Luffy here - not by that name too - the caption sorry he's not able to come to the phone - no, no, nope I believe he is off in the land of OZ at the moment can I take a message - really no sorry he can't come back - why because we are keeping him prisoner - yes that is true, and we are not letting him go till the fun ends - what fun you ask, well there is the beaches, or the whole sea to sail - oh yes we plan to sail the whole world before returning, do you need anything else - oh okay good bye then" He said putting the phone back on the table. I saw Zoro raise a brow "court" he asked, the cook shook his head with a small grin "headmaster, wonder how he knows how to use a phone, or how he got Lu's number" he replied, Dumbles what the hell does he want with me "what did he what" I asked getting them to look over, Sanji tilted his head "for you to return to your relatives" he replied.
I raised a brow moving out of the puppy pile without waking the others moving over to the others "I haven't been back there since the summer after my first year" I said sitting next to Robin taking the ice tea she passed over. Sanji shrugged getting up "they miss you" he said before heading to the kitchen "Potters must have found out they are paying them even though I haven't been there in years now" I said.
I stood at the railing watching the waves as the others sat eating behind me, tilting my head back letting the wind wash over me catching the much missed scent of the sea and the cried of the gulls. I felt a tug on my hair so looked back over my shoulder at Nojiko "having fun my lord king" she asked with a grin, I snorted at the younger girl before turning to face her "my kin dose not have to call me by title, and as to your question yes I am having fun, I haven't sailed in years so It's a joy to be back on the waves" I replied. She grabbed my hand pulling me back over to the rest of the crew as they started playing party games.
I yawned moving down the Valley main street having been called back, I looked around seeing everyone moving in groups weary eyes watching the alleys and side streets, What in the name happened here, the Valley is one of the most safest places in Britain no matter if you are human or creature.
I spotted Katsumi sat out side of one of the cafes with her young babe, I moved over to her, she should know what happed or I'll have to wait till Garp is finished up before he can see me. I pulled out a chair getting the older women to look up, she gave a half smile as I sat down, I blinked as she leaned over the table holding out the baby, I took the child seeing she looks more like her mother with her red hair and pale skin tone but her eyes show the gold of her father. I looked the the witch as she had a soft smile on her face "you would have made a grate father" she said, I huffed "we never did find out if I would" I told her, she shook her head watching me rock Luffa "how many did you all but adopt during the time lock, how many did you give a child hood too, how many can say they had a two hundred year long child hood with the king as a father figure" she asked. I looked away remembering how I had a House built to keep all the children in, helped them keep their minds as they were stuck in bodies of children, babies, no one trapped in a child's body took part in the fighting during the lock. war was not, is not a place for children. Not that it stopped the marines If they could fight they where out in the battle fields, I grew numb to the killing of child size soldiers, If I could I never went up against them, My men tried not too as well.
I looked back to Katsumi "what happened here" I asked nodding my head to a passing group of high elves as they passed in a pack of six, the older women sighed looking into the café, I saw a flash of white in the queue "Sliver eye" she replied. I narrowed my eyes, Sliver eye is an old werewolf "the mad mutt" I asked using the name he is known for getting a nod. I sat back bring Luffa up to rest her head near my shoulder "what has he done now, that bas - mongrel is worse then Grayback" I asked.
She looked to me eyes showing sorrow and pain "he and his pack got in and attacked the packs before the patrol got to them" she replied, I felt my lip pull up as I force a growl back down "how many" I asked knowing the mad mutt kills for the fun of it. she looked out to the streets "30 wolves injured, the patrol got there before any were used" she replied spitting the last word.
I closed my eyes at that, Silver eye and his pack of ten last I heard of him like to hunt his own kin, rip them apart slowly, use the female for their own pleasure and then kill them off. He also goes after the young of other creatures if he can get his paws on them, he infects them just to see what will happen to them, the guilds have been trying to catch him for over twenty years now only because he finally attacked a pure-blood heir, he's been around a good 40 years.
-Yuki's p.o.v-
I stopped seeing the human Alpha sat with mum holding my sister, he looked over, I watched as his eyes ran over me, I turned my head knowing he can see the healing wound on my left cheek that starts just under my eye ending just below my lips, once healed it will be a thin line and the one that circles half my throat about two finger width wide, both an ugly red. I heard the growl from here it was dark and full of promise of death, I looked back seeing eyes of blood red watching me as he hissed words at a breath that sound like the old tongue.
I watched as he closed his eyes taking a breath before opening them reviling they had changed back into the tri-colour once more, I moved over to join them still eyeing the older as I sat next to mum. My wolf is telling me to be careful as Lucifer may look calm but my wolf can pick up the rage and anger pouring off him, I looked to mum "the lord shadow was asking me what was going on" she told me, I looked to the male watching him as he ran a hand over my sisters hair "Lord shadow" I asked getting a huff from him "most reborns call me it, they just wont drop the titles, that and my mastery of the dark and shadow element makes me a master but I draw the line with them calling me that so lord stuck" He replied looking up.
He sighed as he looked around the street "Sliver eye is a pain in the ass to Find let along catch" he said, mum reached over taking Luffa back "Gray has put an bounty out for his head" she told him. he looked to her running a hand though his ponytail he has his hair up in "I took a job to hunt him down three years ago, it was a game of cat and mouse for the summer, he is incredibly hard to pin down" he told us.
I watched mum smile getting a raised brow "how'd you get the ministry let that happen" she asked using her chin to point, I looked over to the building site near the top of the Valley's end it looks like a castle. Lucifer grinned sitting back looking pleased with himself not once turning to look at the build "told them it is for the pirate king, plus the valley is out side of the ministry they truly can't do anything about it" he replied. Mother snorted eyeing the wolf "why" she asked, he waved his hand around "fourteen years ago this place was home to just a few small clans barely a hundred people, it is now a thieving city, Raftel is for the Court It is getting to be a pain in the a- backside with us using the manors around the outer ring for meetings and not having everything in one place" He replied. Mum shook her head as I tilted my head "your giving boy wonder a castle" I asked, I got a grin that was anything but friendly "no, wonder boy has yet to answer the ten questions I gave him back in his first year, he is no old soul, so he is not the king" He replied.
I blinked at him going to ask him how he knows when someone moved over to us, I looked to the person only for my eyes to widen seeing Dragon stop next to the Wolf "ready when you are Luffy" he said, Lucifer grinned a dark grin "lets go find the bastard who let them passed the barrier, Dragon-chan" He said pushing himself to his feet following the older male off. Someone let them in, I looked to mum raising a brow "the valley is protected people like Sliver eye shouldn't be able to get in, the court controls the barrier from what I've worked out with a few others to keep watch" she told me, why would someone let someone like that into this paradise, thinking back to that parting grin I almost feel sorry for them.
