"In ten years, things happen, we change. We have to face each challenge head on and in the end we will meet our friends again...well what remains of them,"- Anastasia Ashferd to Garret Ashferd.
Chapter Eight:
I walked downstairs with a sigh. I hadn't stopped meditating until late last night. I ate a lot more than I usually did, but it was worth it because my magic was at least usable. I wouldn't hide my markings from my Nakama since I'm going to wear them proudly. They are a symbol of my mother's clan and I am proud to bear them. I felt pride from Bahamut as the dragon slowly fell asleep. All of us were a little tired from destroying the shard, but it was worth it. I walked into the dining room and heard a group of gasps from my Nakama. They looked at me in shock and I chuckled as I sat down in my seat, "Surprised?"
They stared at me for a few more moments until Tracy blurted out, "What the hell happened to you?"
I chuckle softly once more as Daphne lightly smacked Tracy in the arm. I spoke softly as the food was laid before us, "I assume you noticed I was unreachable yesterday?'
"Yeah," Fred said as he began to butter his toast, "Everyone tried to speak with you, but Yukina sent us away,"
"Does it have to do with those marks?" Hermione asked causing me to nod.
"The nargles told me that you went through a big change last night," Luna added softly from her place on my right next to Draco, "They said that you would reveal some secrets in the morning,"
"Correct my dear fea childe," I murmur before turning to everyone, "Last night, Yukina, Kiyo, and I were drawn into the depth of my mind. We discovered that Tommy Boy had left more than a lightning bolt scar on my body,"
"Wait," Hannah looked extremely pale, "You mean to tell me that he..."
"Left a shard of his soul attached to my body," They all gasped in horror, "It seems that it was draining not only my magic, but also my power I gained after eating my devil fruit and becoming an Ashferd,"
"What do you mean by becoming an Ashferd?" Draco asked causing me to sigh.
"When Davey and Luna took me from this world and placed me in my home world," I really hoped I explained this well enough, "They couldn't only take my soul due to my powers and my ability to see spirits being taken away by doing so. They merged my body with that of a new vessel-" I stopped and raised a hand to stop Hermione, "Don't ask me how because I ain't explaining a complex amount of crap as to why it was possible so early in the morning. Just accept that they did it using their powers," I gave her a small glare causing her to nod though I knew I would have to explain it at some point if only to get her off my back, "Now due to merging my old body with my new vessel, I stayed a Potter and Evans. I also gained the blood of that bastard sire of mine and my lovely mother," I saw them roll their eyes since to them my mother was anything but lovely unless you count her outward appearance, "Because I became my mothers daughter, I should have gained these marks. They didn't appear because of the damned soul shard,"
"Oh..." Tracy looked at my marks hungerly with Daphne not far behind, "Can we touch-"
"NO!" I shout causing everyone to stare at me in shock because I don't usually shout and making me feel sheepish, "I mean you can't,"
"Why?" Tracy whined with a puppy dog face, "They look so touchable,"
"Because they're sensitive at the moment due to being new," I say and immediately didn't like the look that entered her eyes.
"Why do you mean by sensitive?" Tracy breathed out the last word causing me to shiver slightly.
I was no stranger to being given looks like that nor having both men and women stare at me in lust. I will admit that I did find Tracy attractive as I did all women, but I felt no need to pursue even if Law had given me consent to continue my advances towards women. He always gained a look in his eyes as he said it was okay. I often times felt his lust spike at those moments. He was a jealous and possessive bastard, but when it came to me being with the same gender unless it was Andromeda he was happy to push me in that direction. I still don't know why he doesn't like Andromeda though the feeling is mutual. They often butted heads and my mind usually went to the gutter. I was usually able to pull myself out of it and fully blamed those times on Tsuki's influence. I shook myself from my thoughts and spoke, "Tracy I know what you're going to do when I tell you what I mean. You probably already guessed it, but you are not going to come across the table and tackle me just to find out."
"So," She gained a smug grin as she began to inch towards me, "They're very sensitive in a way that would cause you pleasure,"
I nod with narrowed eyes. She quickly stood up and ran towards me. I quickly created a barrier around myself causing her to crash into it. I made sure to focus on her since no one else would go so far. I retracted a portion of it that she wasn't aiming for and watched as she continually bounced off of it. I shiver suddenly as I felt someone behind me. I look behind me as Tracy stopped her advance with a grin. Daphne stood with a smirk on her face making me curse loudly. She reached out and lightly ran her fingers over the wisp on my right arm. I shivered as a small moan left my lips. She chuckled and pressed her lips to my cheek as her tongue reached out to trail over the wisp on my left one. She moved back and smiled at me as I struggled to stay in my seat. I reminded myself of her only being 14, but damn she acts older. I shook it off and commented, "Damn I forgot about Daphne."
She chuckled and dragged a whining Tracy back to her seat, "Sit down and I'll play with you later," Tracy shut up immediately, "You forget that Tracy and I both went enough because of our families to make us more mature."
I took a deep breath and calmed myself as Tundra groaned. I gave her a mental glare before shoving her into my memories to get her to shut up. Black hovered over the entrance and held up a scoreboard showing a 7.5. I shook my head and looked at my Nakama as I spoke, "Now that that is over," I gave a small glare towards Tracy and Daphne, "Have you all decided?"
"We have decided that we're going to go through the training," Hannah said causing me to smile happily, "But how will we get food?"
"I have 10 years worth of provisions inside my pocket space," I reply with a smug grin, "I have supplies sealed in various scrolls for us all including clothes, food, water, cleaning items, sleeping bags, pillows, blankets, and various training items we will need,"
Blaise let out a whistle as George commented, "You're actually prepared."
"I have to be ready for anything considering Luffy is my brother," I point out causing a few snickers, "With the impossible waiting to happen around every corner, I learned to be prepared. Hell I'm even ready for when Zombies appear,"
Snickers rang through the room as Kiyo and Yukina shuddered. We all remembered the events of thriller bark and the actions of Moriah, Dr. Hogback, Absalom, and Perona. I shuddered softly as Kiyo murmured, "They do not know of the events of thriller bark."
"I left it out, but during our time in the chamber I will bring up some of the things that happened," I assured causing her to sigh before I spoke up again, "After breakfast, I want you to send a letter to your guardians telling them about you not being able to contact them for a month. You have about an hour before we must be downstairs,"
"How will we send our letters?" Draco asked causing me to give him a deadpan stare, "Oh right clones,"
I roll my eyes and ate my breakfast. I watched as they wrote their letters and created a clone as each was finished. The twins wrote individual letters for each of their family members depending on how they reacted to them becoming my 'students'. The banshee of the family had been pissed off that Ron and Ginny had been left out. Percy was displeased by the fact he wasn't chosen. Ronald immediately owled me and asked to be a student because he was my 'friend'. Ginny had listened to the explanation and nodded. While I may not be on good terms with her, she is a very understanding child. Charlie had been proud of his brothers as had Bill. Arthur looked torn between pride and wanting to follow Molly. I sighed softly as the last letter was written and we all stood up. I led them to the basement before heading to the farthest wall of the dueling room. I heard their gasps as I laid my hand onto the warm stone and closed my eyes. I pushed my magic into the stone and it melted away. I smiled and led the way down the secret set of stairs that led to the belly of the castle. I spoke as we descended, "Down here, the true library of the potter clan rests. Magic from all over the world gathered in a single place. The library is so heavily warded that nothing can destroy anything inside of it."
"Wow," Gasped Hermione, "How is it possible?"
"It is due to the nature of the Potter clan," I murmur softly, "Potters wander by nature and as such they gathered various pieces of magic, weaponry, artwork, and the like. If you're impressed by the one here, you should see the one on Anubis island in Paradise and the Great library on Firnacu island in the new world," I allow my face to ease into bliss, "Those libraries have everything!"
"Damn Kai you're sounding like Hermione," Tracy complained causing me to chuckle as Hermione threw her a glare, "What else is here anyway?"
"Other than the library," I answer with hum, "The bones of almost every generation of Potter rests here," Whistles sounded through the stairwell to my amusement, "Also there is a particularly large underground lake and a large Hot spring," I felt the shock radiate off of them, "But the real draw is the chamber that we will be going to," I felt them tense, "The chamber is full of special crystals that absorb magic and runs across the whole of the island to create the wards. The keystone lies in the exact center of the island,"
"Shit," Neville exclaimed to my surprise and amusement.
"Indeed," I reply causing snorts to be heard, "The keystone is truly massive and beautiful. I will show you it after our training is done,"
"But won't we see it when we enter the chamber?" George asked causing me to shake my head.
"No," I say as we slowly leave the stairwell and enter a long hallway, "The chamber has been modified in such a way that the moment the door closes behind us, we will be 'teleported'," I used air quotes, "To another plane of existence. The only way for us to see it is for us to complete the 10 years,"
"I see," He said causing me to turn to him, "Kaileara can you promise me something?"
I nod as everyone looked between us and we stopped in the middle of the hallway. I looked at him seriously as I say, "Of course. If I can do it, I will promise you that it will be done. I keep every promise I can because to break them leads to dire consequences," The loss of Isis hit me again, "Ask what you will."
"Promise me that this training will help us," He looked me in the eyes, "Promise me that you'll do your best to train us and never give up on us. Promise me that when we leave the chamber, we will be stronger, wiser, and above all else, closer. Promise me,"
"I vow on my magic, my heart, my soul, my devil fruit, my haki, the styx, and all that I am," My powers rush around us, "That all that you ask will be given,"
A silent moment went through the area until a boom of thunder could be heard. George nodded and we continued on our way. My fingers gripped my ring as we approached the large opening in the wall. A set of large red and brown doors sat on either side of the opening. A stag stood proudly on one side with a large falcon on the other. I felt my friends tense as we stared at the opening before us. My heart raced as I realized that to me ten whole years shall pass before I see Law again. Ten years before I would see my Nakama from my home. I closed my eyes and drew strength from my ring as Bahamut spoke in my mind, "Have heart, my little one. Ten years will go swift if you remember that your training to be stronger, better, and happier. You will be able to better protect your Nakama, love them more, and show them that nothing will stop you from protecting them."
I nod in thanks before I turn to my friends. Each stood with pensive face and I spoke, "Alright it's time. If your going to back out, go now. The time you spend in here will be described as hell. I will not go easy on you. The moment you step inside, you will be mine. You will be mine to destroy and build back up. You will leave this place changed, wiser than you ever were, stronger enough to protect each other, and lastly closer to each other. You will be my students, my targets, my whipping boys, and above all else my grunts. Every order I give is to be taken without pause. Do you understand me?"
"Yes Captain," They replied to my shock and joy.
I smiled and led them inside. They jump as the doors close and the area around us swam. I ignore the cool burn of my body as I was deaged. My clothes shrunk with me due to the seals I placed on them. I turn around as Hermione shouted, "No fair! You're 12 years old!"
"I'm older than you all," I remind her causing her to pout, "Fred and George will be 10 as well..." I pause and looked at myself, "Well shit looks like I'll be 22 when this is over,"
Kiyo snicker as Yukina let out a bark-like laugh. A voice suddenly rang from one end of the area causing me to look and pale slightly, "Hello Kiddies!"
He may have taken on the form of Uncle Garp, but I could tell who it was immediately. I felt like running away as I stared at the bastard walking towards me. Yukina and Kiyo shivered against me as Yukina hissed, "What the hell is he doing here?"
"I don't know," I whine causing my friends to look at me in concern.
"Kai who is that?" Tracy asked as I tried to back up.
"He is-" I began as the bastard cut me off.
He launched himself forward and caught me in his arms causing me to scream. He clamped his hand over my mouth as his wolf grabbed Yukina and Kiyo by the scruff. I gave the wolf a pleading glance as a whine left my lips. The bastard spoke, "My name is Ashferd D. Passion Yi. I'm my dear nieces Uncle."
I struggle against his hold before biting his hand. He cried out in shock and dropped me. I landed on my feet and glared at him as I spat out his blood. I growled, "What the hell are you doing here?"
"We're," The heavenly voice echoed across the room, "Here to train you my daughter,"
"Mother," I shouted as I run towards the approaching woman, "You're here!"
The woman has ankle length snowy white hair with matalic silver tips. Her eyes are golden sapphire with a ring of crimson around the blue and a golden pupil. I slammed into her as her wolf moved to the side. She bent down to hug me properly since she stood at about 9'6. I only stood at 5'5 due to living with the bastard sire. I smile brightly up at her as she hugged me close. She whispered, "Hello my little moon."
"Mother!" I heard a third voice shout.
"Honey!" Another male voice shouted.
I blinked as she let go of me to stare at the two approaching people. I recognized them immediately from my visit to Sun Wolf island with Law. They were my step father, Garret and my younger half brother Talon. Garret has sunny blonde hair which Talon also had. He however had jade colored eyes whereas Talon had eyes like my mothers. His eyes are a deep jade color with a ring of sapphire around the jade and a golden pupil. Both walked with their wolves, Garret's wolf Jack and Talon's wolf Shang. Jack is a large grey wolf while Shang should be a truly massive black wolf. The reason Shang isn't massive is because Talon is 11 years old. The same could be said about Yukina because she came to about the size of my stomach. Kiyo stayed the same size due to her being a kitsune and experienced familiar. I stare at the approaching group of four just as Talon spotted me. I noticed very quickly as Mother and White moved away from me. I felt like twitching as Talong shouted, "KAILEARA!"
I had five seconds before a blonde missile slammed into my chest. I let out a cough as I was sent flying through one of the close by trees. I winced as I tasted the matalic ting of blood before I swallowed it and shoved the blonde off of me. He landed with a thump as I pulled myself out of the tree while giving him a small glare. I was about to speak until I smelt something. I sniffed the air as Yukina twitched from her place in Hakushi's jaws. Yukina shouted, "He ate the damn Sola-Sola no mi!"
I twitch as I stared down at my little brother. I counted back from ten as my twitching began to increase. I turned away before I did something stupid and I walked over to my currently captive partners. I gave Hakushi a glare causing him to wince and let the two go. I walked over to my Nakama as I buried my fingers into Yukina's fur. Kiyo took a larger form to allow my to do the same to her. I took a deep breath and calmed myself before asking, "Can you train my Nakama as well? I'm going to need all the help I can get."
They nodded though I really didn't like the look on my mother's face. At. All.
1st year (You will get a bit of each year because this girl just wants to write the rest of the story without unneeded details)
I slammed my Haki and Magic into my Nakama causing them to cry out as their channels were forcefully thrown open. I gave them a sadistic grin as I watched them wither on the ground in pain. I know it was wrong of me, but I wanted other to know what it felt like to have my channels forcefully ripped open by my devil fruit. I swear it hurt so fucking bad. It was like having pins shoved into every part of my body while they were as hot as the sun. I gave a smile as they slowly roused themselves from their stupors and said, "Alright get up Maggots. It's time for the second part of this exercise."
"Which is?" Draco groaned as he slowly stood.
"Sparing against me," I took out a wooden staff, "You have to show me what you got,"
I toss them a staff with a grin as I held my rowan one. Hermione's eye twitched as she asked, "How in the name of all that is good are we supposed to show you what we can do when most of us haven't picked up a weapon before?"
"Do you think that the enemy will care?" I asked as my voice went cold causing them to shiver, "Do you think they'll wait for you to find a weapon you can use? Or come at you bare handed when they have a sword?" Ice began to gather around them, increasing their fear, "NO!" I roared the word causing them to jump, "Now come at me with the intent to kill. You won't be able to put a scratch on me other wise.
A few minutes later
CRACK!
"OWE!"
"MOTHER! I THINK I BROKE SOMEONE'S RIBS!"
A few hours later
I stood across from a groaning group of children. I smile softly at them as I say, "Okay you guys..." I trail off causing them to perk up, "Suck ass!"
I saw many twitching eyebrows as my Mother laughed. My step father spoke up, "Kaileara. You do realize that they only just started."
"I do, but they need to know where they stand," I say innocently, "They need to know how bad they are and I'm not going to sugar coat it,"
"What next?" Tracy asked as my mother grinned.
"Obstacle course," My mother practically sung causing me to snicker and her to turn to me, "Oh and your participating,"
I paled and asked, "Why? I'm already fast and can evade things pretty well."
"You need to be 10 times faster and you can dodge one of my punches," She replied causing me to pout.
"Yes mother," I reply as we were led to a wooden gate way, "Where did this come from?"
"I built it," Uncle Yi announced causing me to pale, "Enjoy!"
A few hours later
Snap!
"OWE!"
Bang!
"WHERE THE HELL DID YOU GET THOSE BULLETS?!"
snicker. SLAM!
"OWE! MOTHER FUCKING BITCH! WHERE THE HELL DID THAT KITSUNE COME FROM? WHY IS THAT RACCOON HOLDING A BALLOON? NO DON'T-"
BANG! BOOM! SPLASH!
"Brother I think you went a little too far with the gender change potion,"
"WHERE THE HELL ARE MY BOOBS? WAIT WHY IS THERE A FIN? AH SHARK!"
"Maybe the shark was a bit much...should I stop this?"
"No-"
CHOMP!
"MOMMY! THE SHARK BIT ME! WAIT WHY IS THERE A BEEPING SOUND? DAMNIT-"
BAM!
"Honey why are Kaileara's eyes gold? Is that a pitch fork? Where did she get that-"
"Yi?"
"Yes sister?"
"Let's go get my daughter before she kills that shark,"
"Yes sister dear...Where the hell did she get those markers?"
"Eris,"
"Oh,"
AIAIAI!
"Did she just-"
"Yes...yes she did,"
"MOTHER I THINK I BROKE MY NEW TOY!"
A few minutes later
I sat pouting at the dinner table. Mother took my new toy away. Hermione and the others stared at me while Tundra pouted in my head. I sent her an imaginary deer to console her. Talon spoke up, "Mother...Why did Kai get a toy shark when all you gave me was a toy duck?"
"I didn't give her the poor shark," Mother replied as she ate her food, "Your uncle did,"
"Uncle why does Kai get a shark?" Talon whined causing Hermione and the others to stare at us.
"Because I love her very much," Uncle Yi replied while twitching, "And she was just so adorable,"
"Then why did Mother take it away from me?" I whine causing my friends to try and scoot away.
"What is wrong with this family?" Hermione whispered to Garret.
"It runs in the Ashferd Bloodline," He replied with an amused smile, "You'll get used to it,"
I felt intense amusement as Tracy replied, "I feel sorry for Law...he's going to have to deal with her."
Second year
I smile as I stood across from my Nakama. Each were twitching slightly as the obstacle course burned behind me. Uncle Yi was crying as he asked me, "Did you have to burn my masterpiece?"
"It was an affront to nature," I reply as Black held up a scoreboard with a 10 on it, "I had to destroy it before it got to the others,"
"But it was so beautiful!" He cried.
"It would have killed us all," I protest causing Hermione to stiffen.
"It was just a damn flamingo statue," She shouted.
"It deserved to die because it was wearing sunglasses," I deadpan while glaring at her, "Back to training!"
"NO!" Was shouted as I crackled.
"The hounds are coming!" I shouted as I summoned a group of hell hounds, "Run,"
"AH!" Sounded all through the area.
Hours later
I stared at the group of panting Nakama. They had done well and avoided the hellhounds for a few hours. Training the last year helped, but now is the time to increase it. I spoke up, "Alright guys. Time for magic!"
"Ah what will we be doing?" Neville panted.
"Familiars," I announced.
Five minutes later
I stare at the group with a proud smile as they stood with their newly bonded familiars:
Hermione: A large Fire ferret named Heather.
Fred: A large 5-tailed red kitsune name Kurama.
George: A large panther named Bas.
Tracy: A large Raccoon named Sneak.
Daphne: A large Snow Leopard named Haimati.
Luna: A large dark purple wolf with wings named Shadow.
Draco: A large white stag with golden horns named Cernunnos.
Susan: A sleek looking black furred tiger named Shira
Hannah: A large Badger named Greve
Blaise: a slim eastern dragon the color of the storm clouds named Gokhan.
Neville: a light, greenish grey furred Bear named Gaia.
I gave them a bright smile as I say, "Now we get to the magic!
Three days later
Sizzle!
"OWE! WHY ARE YOU LOBBING FIREBALLS AT ME?!"
"Training!"
Shashink! Splash!
"WHY ARE YOU THROWING DISKS OF ICE AT ME?!"
"You didn't like the fireballs,"
A few hours later
"You guys did pretty good with evasion training. You need to work on it," I nodded to myself in front of a very...battered group.
They were laying on the ground having long decided it wasn't worth it to complain. I always made the training worse when they did. Good playthings...I paused at that and shoved that thought away. They are my friends not my playthings. Tundra however whispered, "We can play with them because we're training them. Just don't do any lasting damage...You are a sadist aren't you?"
A grin slowly stretched across my face causing them to shiver in fear. Oh yes I'm going to have fun with my toys.
A month later
Bang!
"How is this magic training?!"
Boom!
"You have to create a shield,"
Ba-Boom!
"How can I create a shield when every where I step a bomb goes off?"
Dap!
"I don't like the sound of that,"
"You shouldn't,"
"Why?"
"It means you triggered the explosive that will blow up the others,"
"What should I do?"
"Run,"
"Meep,"
BAABABABABA! BOOOOOOM! BOOOM! POP! BOOM! BANG!
"Mother?"
"Yes?"
"Did I go too far?"
"Nope,"
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah. I dropped your brother into a minefield when he was six years old anyway,"
"Family tradition?"
"Yup. Let's go get some saki,"
"Sure,"
"Help...wait where did she-"
BOOOOM! BARK!
"AH WHY ARE THERE HELLHOUNDS?! AH!"
"Should I be worried?"
"Nope. They need to learn to create shields,"
"This is kind of cruel...oh well they did try to stick laxatives in my coffee,"
"You're defensive over your coffee...a little too much,"
"Coffee is the only thing that keeps me from killing people in the morning...other than sugar,"
Third year
I sat across from a group of tired, beaten, and severely paranoid kids. I smiled at them causing them to flinch. I pause and cock my head to the side while asking, "What's wrong?"
"When you smile like that, you have something planned to either kill us or destroy what little innocence we have left," Hannah deadpanned, "We are allowed to be scared,"
"Don't be this time we're heading to book work-"
"When do we start?!" Was shouted causing me to almost chuckle.
"Now," I toss the giant books at them causing them to pale, "Have fun,"
I stood up and began walking away. Draco shouted, "Where the hell are you going?"
"To learn about seals from my mom," I replied before pausing, "Oh and the runs with my hounds are now daily..."
"Kai?" Tracy asked weakly.
"Yes Tracy?"
"When does that start?"
"Now...oh and try not to get bitten,"
"Why?"
"One of them happens to have poison coating it's teeth,"
"I really hate you Kai,"
"Love you too," I chirp and walk away before calling back, "GOOD LUCK!"
I summoned my hounds and walked away.
"THIS IS SCREWED UP!"
year four
Tracy stared at me causing me to sigh. I spoke up, "Tracy you will be training with me."
"Why?" She asked causing me to sigh again.
"Because I need to teach you hand to hand," I reply.
"But you're just a clone," She pointed out.
"Your point?" I ask.
"Why can't Kai do it?"
"She's busy,"
"Doing what?"
"Being chased by White as Mother throws daggers coated with demon poison at her,"
"Will she be alright?"
"Boss is strong so yeah,"
"Why aren't the others here?"
"They're being trained separately by my sisters,"
"She created more of you?"
"Yes,"
"Why?"
"To train you all,"
"Why Separately?"
"Because boss wants to see how you do on your own for a year,"
"Why-"
"Is your favorite question why?"
"Yup,"
"You've finally gone insane haven't you?"
"No, but I'm close,"
"Boss is going to drop you off with her friend Kara after this,"
"Why?"
"Because your the same as her...well almost,"
"Oh,"
"Let's get started,"
"Okay,"
I stared at the girl before settling into a stance. Why do I have a feeling I won't be around long? Oh right the girl is another Kara in the making.
Year five
I stood across from Hermione with a smile. She stared at me before asking, "Why are we here?"
"You and I are going to be training your mind," I reply as I gesture to the many board games, "Neville, Blaise, Daphne, and George already did this last year,"
"When does this training end?" She asked with a sigh.
"After I find that you're ready," I reply with a shrug, "Just do your best,"
"Are you a clone?"
"Yup,"
"What's Kai doing right now?"
"Currently being used as a chew toy by her mother's favorite summon,"
"I thought all the summons loved Kai,"
"Not this one,"
"Why?"
"She turned his fur bright pink with glitter way too many times,"
"Who is he?"
"Asher the wild wolf,"
"I thought she had more respect for wolves?"
"She does, but he pissed her off...their doing a prank war currently,"
"I see,"
I gesture to the games, "Shall we?"
"Sure,"
Year six
"Mother?" I ask as I sat across from her.
"Yes little moon?" She asked as she pulled a chess board out of her bag.
"Should I be worried about Law?" I ask causing her to pause.
"What do you mean?" She asked me in curiosity.
I tug at my shirt and look away, "You didn't seem to like him that much when we came to this island all those years ago."
"I like him," She said to my surprise and joy, "I just treated him like crap because I wanted to see if he would break,"
"What do you mean?" I ask as I began to game.
"We Ashferd's are very...insane sometimes," She moved a piece, "Because of this, we must choose our mates carefully,"
"Why did you choose my sire?" I ask softly.
"I thought he was a good man, but he wasn't," She murmured softly with her eyes closed, "I regret everyday I spent away from you. If I had known, you wouldn't have been his daughter,"
"I probably wouldn't be me if you had," I replied as I moved another piece, "I'm glad you did because I met Luffy and the others,"
"I guess I can't be too mad then," She hummed lightly causing me to pause.
"Mother?"
"Yes little moon?"
"Do you have a problem with me calling Shanks and Mihawk Papa? Or a problem with me calling Makino Mama?"
"No,"
"Do you have a problem with Artemis being my other birth mother?"
"Yes...I want to kill her,"
"Please don't,"
"Why?" She looked at me in surprise.
"I actually like her as a friend,"
"Oh...I guess I could keep from killing her,"
"Thanks...do you have a problem with Loki being my Father?"
"No...He's a good man and a good father to his kids,"
"Why do you think they don't remember me?"
"The killing curse probably damaged their memories when they were forced out of their mortal shells,"
"Ah,"
"Little moon?"
"Yes mother?"
"How did you get me in check already?"
"Law's my fiance Mother...he's really smart and we play chess when we're bored sometimes,"
"Oh,"
"Yup...though it's only when we're really bored and don't want to have sex,"
"I really want to kill that boy now,"
"Don't touch him,"
"Why?"
"He's my Soulmate,"
"Oh,"
"Yup,"
"Damn...is he any good?"
"Yup though his ego gets in the way sometimes,"
"Damn...do you dent it sometimes?"
"Yup...I did when I didn't accept his first proposal,"
"Nice,"
Year seven
"Alright everyone!" I call out causing them to stand before me, "We only have 4 years in total left. 3 if you don't count this one,"
"YAY!" Echoed through the area causing me to sigh.
"Now we're going to be doing things a little diffrent for the next six month," I told them causing many curious looks to be thrown my way.
"What are we going to be doing?" Tracy asked causing the others to flinch.
I felt amusement at that because Tracy was the one that always got the fun-torture-training started. I grinned a feral grin causing Daphne to hiss, "Thanks Tracy. Now we have to deal with the fucking sadist."
I chuckle softly as I say, "We are going to be doing..." I trail off causing the warning bells in their heads to sound, "FIELD EXPERIENCE!"
"Shit," Was muttered by everyone.
"Why only six month-" Tracy began.
"Be quiet you idiot!" They shouted at the girl.
"Because We're giving you a taste of what the last two years will be like," I say causing everyone to notice the we're in my sentence.
"By 'We're' do you mean..." Draco trailed off as my family appeared behind me.
"We're going to have fun boys and girls," Uncle Yi smiled brightly.
"Yup!" Talon chirped creepily.
"Try not to die," Mother continued.
"I don't really want to be a part of this," Garret told my Nakama causing them to get hopeful, but it's fun to watch their hope die, "But I have to agree that this will be a good experience,"
"Have Fun IN HELL FUCKERS!" I shouted as they were tossed like baseballs by the earth.
"Was that necessary Kaileara?" Garret asked.
"Wow they flew far!" Talon exclaimed to my amusement, "Nice Big Sis!"
"Yes it was necessary," I deadpan, "I needed to have some fun," I then turn to my mom, "Shall we go and have some fun,"
"Let's give them hell," She replied as everyone began to make our way to a control room.
We each took a seat and watched as the monitors we set up glowed. We would be throwing a lot of stuff at them for the next six months.
With Tracy
Tracy groaned as she slowly got up. Sneak stayed inside her skin and wouldn't come out. It made Tracy very nervous as she noticed that she wasn't with the group. She suddenly felt the hot breath of something breathing down her back and stiffened. She slowly turned around and found a large tiger standing there. She shivered as Kaileara's voice echoed through the area, "Tracy! Welcome to Dawn Island. Try to avoid the animals and make it to Fuusha village!"
The tiger looked at Tracy hungry causing her to shiver as Sneak whispered, "Run."
She did as her familiar whispered and took off through the trees.
With Hermione
Hermione groaned as Heather curled tighter around her neck. She slowly rose from her place on the ground and found herself in a desert city. She stared at the buildings and notice the arabian-like designs. She was in Alabasta if Kai's memories were correct. She heard running and turned to see a group of men appear. Kaileara's voice echoed through the city, "Hermione you are currently in Alabasta. Alabasta in this exercise is at war with itself. You must help both sides while trying to find the cause of the war. Try not to die."
Heather stiffened and muttered, "She's a sadist...isn't she?"
"Yes," Hermione replied as she noticed another group of men, "It doesn't help that Law is one as well,"
"I'm scared," Heather murmured softly as the two began to run.
"This is probably a way for us to gain knowledge on how to solve problems," Hermione said causing Kaileara to smile in the control room.
With Fred
Fred looked around the rather large forest. He felt a deep cold sensation curl into his body as he stood there. Kurama appeared and wrapped his large body around him. Fred looked at the snow covered forest as Kaileara's voice rang out, "Fred! Welcome to Drum Island. Your goal in this exercise to gather ingredients while avoiding hunters from all sides. The list will be within the large castle on the mountain," Fred look at the large set of mountains and spotted the castle on the largest one, "I bid you good luck. Oh and don't die!"
Fred groaned as Kurama patted his back soothingly. He knew that Kiyo's new master was insane, but this seemed a little too easy. Kurama murmured, "Fred this'll be easy-"
"Oh and before I forget!" Kaileara pipped up cheerfully though in the control room her eyes were narrowed, "I've taken the liberty of making sure each hunter would have a dog with them. They will be able to find you just by smell. Their bullets are also laden with a few types of poison...goodluck!"
Fred looked at his partner and deadpan, "You suck. You should know to never say something is too easy when you're given a task by a sadist!"
With George
George stared at the large Marine base that he knew to be Marineford. Bas looked around silently as they waited for Kaileara's instructions. They would plan out how to complete them and hopefully leave this place early. Kaileara's voice rang out, "George. Welcome to Marineford. Your goal is to keep the marines at bay and find a specific treasure they will be guarding. Your base of operations will be the large ship you are currently standing on. The Marines are not yet aware of your presence so good luck. Try your best!"
"Let's get to finding a good place to lay low before we try to figure out a plan," George announced.
"Good thinking," Bas growled as the two ran off.
With Hannah
Hannah stared at the massive white building in shock. Greve spoke up, "I believe this place is called the Hunt...I remember living here with my first two masters."
"What do you think Kai wants us to do?" Hannah asked causing the badger to shrug.
She stared at the white building as Kaileara's voice sounded through the air, "Hannah! You are currently on the island of Veral. Your goal is to keep your patient's alive for the next six months. You will be dealing with an array of injuries. You are the head healer of the hunt. Good Luck and hope no one dies!"
"Well...we do need the experience," Hannah groaned softly, "Let's get to work,"
With Susan
Susan looked around the large desert city and wondered what she was supposed to do. Shira looked around and sniffed the air, "It smells of Jackal and Cat...I believe we are on the island of Anubis."
Susan was about to speak when Kaileara's voice sounded through the air, "Susan! You are currently on the island of Anubis. Your goal is to keep from being caught by the cat beasts that prowl the streets. You are also to keep from being caught by guards of the palace. It seems they believe that you have stole a prized artifact of lady Bastet. I suggest you put your sharpshooter skills to use!"
With Neville
Neville looked around from his place on Gaia's back. They were in a large forest with many plants. Gaia sniffed the air and murmured, "This island...it doesn't seem right."
"I think we're on the island of Reverse Chain," Neville said as he looked at a large venus fly trap.
"Neville," Kaileara's voice pierced the air from above, "You are on Reverse Chain island. Your goal is to keep from being eaten by the plant life, caught by the deranged plant man that see you as his wife," Neville paled at that part as he remembered Kaileara's own experiences with this island, "And find a specific flower in the plant-man's garden which is inside of the large tree in the center of the island. Good luck and try not to be raped,"
Neville's mouth dropped open and he shouted, "Really Kai! Did you have to drop me into a place with a lunatic?!"
With Draco
Draco stared at the area around him. Trees stretched overhead as bubbles floated around him. Cernunnos pawed at the ground lightly as Draco sat on his back. Cernunnos felt nervous being on an island that he had heard of from the various spirits he had encountered. Draco wondered what twisted thing Kaileara had come up for him. He really hoped she wasn't still made about the laxatives he put in her coffee. Kaileara's voice rang out from above, "Draco! Welcome to Sabaody! Your goal is to evade slave trades and celestial dragons while making your way to the ocean. From there your goal will be to meet up with a merchant and guide the ship through various trouble on the sea...try not to get eaten by the sea kings."
"Well..." Draco looked around before looking at his familiar, "Shall we?"
"It's best if we do," Cernunnos, "Perhaps this will also prove if you're truly a dragon of the water or not,"
Draco nodded in determination as Cernunnos took off.
With Luna
Luna giggled as she stared at the world around her. Shadow looked about him and recognized the island his dear one had talked of wanting to visit. The island was one of wonder, one of games, and one of incredible danger. He nuzzled his Dreamers side as Kaileara's voice echoed softly through the air, "Welcome to Wonderland Fea Childe. Your goal is to have fun while drawing maps of the various areas of wonderland. Remember the land is ever shifting, so be careful."
Luna smiled brightly as Shadow looked at the massive castle in front of him. The glistening red stone made his hackles raise. He would trust his dreamers alpha to not harm her. She seemed to have a soft spot for the little dreamer though always made sure to push his dreamer to the breaking point. His dreamer saw her alpha as kin and kin doesn't harm kin irreversibly. He would trust the lunar woman's judgement on this.
With Daphne
Daphne stared at the fish as they passed her by. She was on fishmen island and Haimati didn't look too pleased to be in a world of water. They stared at the area around them as Kaileara's voice echoed through the air, "Welcome to Fishmen island. Daphne your goal is to act as the advisor to a new queen. She doesn't have much knowledge on how to deal with nobles. You must deal with assassins and various other attempts on the queens life. I wish you luck and do be careful."
"Well," Daphne's voice was slightly strained, "Looks like I have my work cut out for me. I don't see why Hermione isn't the one doing this,"
"Perhaps Kaileara see's you as an advisor or an assistant for Hermione," Haimati soothed while giving the area around them a glare, "I just wish we didn't have to deal with water,"
With Blaise
Blaise looked around him with Gokhan curling his massive body around him. He recognized this as Water Seven and the place the shipwright of the Strawhats, Franky came from. Kaileara's voice echoed around him, "Welcome to Water Seven Blaise. Your goal is to build and fix up ships from various visitors for the next six months. I trust you to do this and do a good job. You will be working alongside a few others you may recognize from my memories so try to learn as much as possible while putting to use what I've already taught you. Good luck!"
Blaise stared at the island with a smile as he headed towards where he needed to be. Gokhan floated on a cloud of mist he had created The dragon looked around the watery city and murmured, "This is going to be fun."
"I know," Blaise cracked his fingers, "I look forward to it,"
"Good," Gokhan murmured.
with Kaileara
I watched as my Nakama worked hard at their goals. A chuckle echoed from me as pride entered my heart. They were strong and only going to get stronger. I bowed my head lightly. I could wait until next year because then I would be teaching them about animagus transformation.
Year eight
"Alright you guys!" I shout with glee, "It's time for something I've been waiting for!"
"Please tell me you're not going to shove us into a pit of hell hounds again," Tracy pleaded causing me to chuckle.
"No that only happened during 5 year," I waved off their concern, "I think you'll actually like this bit of training,"
I waited for someone to speak and this time it was Neville. I gave the boy a smile as he spoke, "Okay. What are we doing?"
"Animagus training," Their eyes widen, "And more wandless magic training. I believe it's time,"
Cheers sounded and I smiled softly
six months later
It took half the year, but they managed it. Their forms fit them perfectly.

Fred: A large jackal with dark black fur and bright golden markings.
George: A Great cave lion with dark blackish blue fur.
Blaise: A large king cheetah.

Luna: A large northern dire wolf with mystic black fur and a few markings in pale moon coloring.
A few months later
"Kai?" Susan asked.
"Yes Susan?" I ask not even opening my eyes.
"Why do I have to sit on this magma rock?" She asked causing me to sigh.
"To get closer to the element you are aligned to my dear," I reply softly.
"Wouldn't it be better if I was in the lava?" My eyes snapped open and I stare at the girl in shock.
"Who are you and what have you done to my Nakama?" I snarl causing her to snicker.
"I thought you wanted us to experiment," She said causing me to cock my head to the side.
"I do, but what does that have anything to do with it?" I ask her.
"Wouldn't I be able to get closer my my element by diving right into the lava?" She asked.
"Susan?" I murmur causing her to look at me in confusion.
"Yes?"
"Did you finally go insane?" I ask her causing her to shake her head, "You do realize that doing such a thing is suicide unless you reach the level under master level?"
"No,"
"Then don't ask,"
"Kai?"
"Yes Susan?"
"Why is Luna allowed to stand in the middle of a lightning storm?"
"Because it's Luna," I reply before my eyes widen, "Wait...What did you just say?"
"Look," She pointed behind me.
I look and curse loudly as Luna stood with her arms open wide. I quickly rush towards her and push her out of the way as a bolt of lightning struck down where she had been...the spot I was in now. I lay there on my stomach twitching. Susan walked over and I rasp, "Get my Mother...and Hannah...and Garret..."
I slump against the ground as I breath out. Damn being hit by lightning when I'm not ready for it hurt like a bitch...not as much as getting a fist of Lava lodged in my chest though.
Year nine
"Kai?" Draco asked me.
"Yes Draco?" I replied as I sat on a cloud.
"You won't help us with this will you?" He asked.
"I will if there is a reason for it," I say as I look over at him, "Why?"
"Does the approach of zombies count?" He asked causing me to stiffen.
I look to where I saw him pointing and pale. I nod quickly, "Yup this qualifies...a lot!"
Year ten
"Kai?" Fred asked as we sat around on a ship.
"Yes Fred?" I ask as I laid on my back and tossed a ball into the air.
"Why can't we do something exciting?" He asked causing me to shrug.
"Because many times when Marines aren't attacking, we enter a period of peace," I say before blink at him, "You need to get used to it,"
"But it's boring," He whined causing me to sit up.
"Want to sp-" I didn't get to finish.
ROAR!
I look and spotted the giant sea king. I stared at it for a few moments before everyone turned to Fred as one. We all shouted, "REALLY? NOW WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH A FUCKING SEA KING!"
He looked sheepish, "At least it isn't raining,"
A loud boom echoed as clouds blocked out the sun. I twitch and look at Fred. I ground out, "Fred? You've forgotten I come from a family of sadists."
"Oh," He looked at me sheepishly.
"Oh is right," I glare at him as I looked at the sea king, "Have fun,"
I climbed up to the top of the mast causing him to shout, "Wait! WHAT?!"
"You deal with the sea king while the others and I deal with the storm," I replied with a sadistic grin towards him, "HAVE FUN!"
He paled as the sea king stared down at him. I would help him if he needed it, but for now I would watch and enjoy the show. I'm evil sometimes.
End of 10 years
I hug my Mother around the waist and ask, "Do you really have to go?"
"Yeah I left your cousin Jin in charge," She replied with a smile, "I need to return,"
I sigh and nod, "Let's hope she didn't drink all of the alcohol."
"Or eat all the sweets," Talon pipped up, "See ya shorty,"
I pouted at the now 8'6 boy. Shang was back to being his massive size and towered over us. I glared at him as he ruffled my hair causing me to swat at him to the amusement of my Nakama. Uncle Yi pipped up and said, "I hope they haven't eaten all the ramen."
I nodded as they waved and disappeared. The area around us wavered as the ward broke. I stare at the massive chamber of my castle and sighed softly. My fingers curled around my ring as I remembered that I would be seeing Law soon. I smiled brightly as Fred cracked his back and looked around before seeing the massive stone in the center of the chamber. He pointed at it and shouted, "MAN THAT'S HUGE!"
I chuckled softly before saying, "It's a Keystone for the whole island Fred. It needs to be huge," I then shook my head, "Come on we have to head up stairs."
Nods were given and we headed to the doors. Luna walked behind me with Hermione and Daphne walking slowly behind her. Draco, Blaise, and Hannah followed her slowly. Neville, Tracy, and Susan took up the next bit. George brought up the rear of the pack. I paused at the doors as Kiyo muttered, "Ten years...we're finally going to rest a little."
I nod and allow a smile to appear on my face as I push open the doors, "Ten years since we've been home...and seen everyone," I turn to my Nakama and shout, "Last one to the dinning room is a rotten dragons egg!"
I raced up the stairs as the others follow with laughs. We all settle at the table and began to eat. We partied as we celebrated the end of 10 years of training. I gave my Nakama a smile as I watched them before I headed up to my room. I walked to the balcony slowly and stared out at my island. Kiyo took a seat on the railing as Yukina sat on my right side. Tundra appeared on my left and we stared out at the moonlit island together. Kiyo spoke, "It's been ten years."
"But it seems as if we've only been gone for a little while," Yukina continued slowly.
"But...we're finally going to see them again," I murmured as a tear ran down my cheek, "Finally after ten long years...we'll be able to talk with them, sit with them, hug them, fight with them, and..."
"And be with our mate again," Tundra finished as we all nod.
Tundra returned to my mind as Kiyo and Yukina headed to bed. I would join them in a few seconds. I stare up at the moon and recognized that it would be at it's fullest tomorrow. I felt a soft smile appear on my face as I spoke, "Luna...it's been 10 years for me...please let them come...let this work. I need my Nakama with me even if it's only for 26 days. I need to feel his arms around me...hear his heart beating in my ears...smell his scent as he lays next to me...taste the coffee on his lips when he kisses me in the morning...see his face when I first wake up in the morning...please Luna...Davey...let them come tomorrow."
I turn and made my way inside. I pause suddenly as the scent of Lunar flowers drifted through the air. I spun around and came face to face with the head spirit of the moon. She wore a soft blue robe with silver stars and moons. Her hair was a bright silvery white with black streaks. Her skin was pale yet healthy. Her eyes were a bright gold with a silver pupil. I stared at her for a few moments before she spoke, "Hello Kaileara...it's been a while."
"Luna," I murmur and without pause I threw myself at the woman.
She held me close as I felt the emotions I had been holding in break through the walls I put up. Tears flowed from my eyes as I cried. She spoke softly, "Tomorrow my dear one...tomorrow my friend...tomorrow my great grand daughter..."
I felt heavy as I slipped into dreams filled with Lunar flowers and Nakama. Tomorrow echoed through my mind and I felt happy even as I felt Luna place me on my bed. Tomorrow...
End of a long chapter. How did you think everything went? I think it went well, but I want to hear your opinions.
