A full year has went by for everyone since leaving high school but only a few months went by as everyone lived their own lives doing what they had to survive and live a life.

But one day two months prior to the one year mark of being out of high school a wave of dizziness hit them drowning them all like water heavier than anything they've felt in their life.

It came and went in a flash and none of them didn't know what to think as they was all on the floor in the places they now had lived.

MIZORE'S P.O.V.

I was on the floor dizzy and confused as I tried to figure out what that was- was it another person or was it because I'm pregnant again? It was a odd thing to be pregnant again since my husband had died.

I was hoping to have at least one more child but I guess not as I slowly got up shakily "Why are you on the floor are you okay" I looked up immediately seeing my mother in our traditional kimono the robes that we wear around our village.

"Yes mother I'm fine I was just a little dizzy that's all" Her eyes lit up with excitement as she invaded my personal space "Are you pregnant? Think another child could be here?" I rolled my eyes as I moved away from her "Mother your only acting this way because they're forcing this on me" She sighed as I turned to look out the window.

"I know the council has been a pit pushy but you know why they're doing this, we're dying out and with the more children we have before our bodies become too cold the better especially since we hardly ever have male children since so long ago that I can't even remember" She put a comforting hand on my shoulder as I looked at her as she was serious now.

"I know how you feel about doing this and believe me I do I know how happy you would've been if he would've given you a child" I knew who she was referring to- the real love of my life...Tsukune Aono, the man who was once human at a school for monsters and somehow kept a kind heart and a good soul through it all.

"I know mother but sadly I wasn't the woman he wanted" She wanted to cheer me up but moments later after staring out the window we heard loud knocking on the door.

Upon opening it we seen some of the villagers "Tsurara it's Kira!" We all ran out after them as we made our way to our nursery/hospital and once we got there we seen her as her skin was covered lightly in sweat as the light from outside made her seem like she was glowing a bit.

The girl who had been missing for a couple of weeks suddenly appears safe and sound and now somehow pregnant? something wasn't adding up as she started to scream and push out a child.

It wasn't what none of us expected as her first child came out as a baby girl but she held scales- light blue and silver scales as it was a small patch on her cheek and her left forearm 'What the hell? are those scales?' Then she began to clench her teeth as she was pushing again as the nurses immediately rushed to help her.

This one shocked us all this baby also had scales but it was a baby boy as he had black and red scales, for her to have this baby boy was a miracle since our curse on the village began.

But the scales on her kids was a little odd to say the least but familiar she couldn't have laid down with a lizard man- not all the way out here in our realm.

So what could she have slept with that could put scales on her children like this? As I looked at them they obviously had potential to be very powerful I could sense it.

Soon a representative of the council came as she slowly walked inside as her eyes glanced everyone in the room and eventually the mother and the second she looked at the babies her eyes widened in horror.

KURUMU'S P.O.V.

I was just now coming downstairs to eat with my auntie and my mother as I watched the guards and the cleanup ladies get ready for tonight.

Before I could reach their table I suddenly felt something wash over me as I dropped to the ground as I couldn't get up as I seen my adopted cousin whom came with us here to the States was in the same predicament as me.

They came rushing over to us and helped us up as two guards did the same and sat us at our regular table in the nosebleeds as they was confused "What the hell is wrong with you two you both dropped at the same time?" It sounded odd but she looked at me as I looked at her.

"What?" After watching her blink a couple times she sat up on her own after the guards left like I did "This might sound crazy but did you know Silas?" Auntie and mother was confused but I knew what she meant "Yeah I do that's Tsukune's adopted brother" They looked as I held up a finger knowing they had questions.

"I know that but do you know what he was? Because now all of a sudden I can't remember" I started thinking about it and she was right because neither could I as I gave a negative nod.

She looked down in thought as she then tapped her chin "It sounds crazy but maybe he took a memory from us" The thought immediately felt wrong to me why would he need to take a memory from us as I could only shook my head.

"Why would he need to do that? It doesn't sound like him plus he doesn't communicate with us and he doesn't even like Tsukune his own brother" She nodded agreeing with me as she looked around to make sure anyone wasn't nearby.

"Yes but did he tell you what he was? Because suddenly I can't remember and that was all I thought about since I came with you here" I gave a nod of agreement as I was confident remembering when I snuck in his dreams on accident as he told us all what he was.

"He's a...He's a..." It's like when he told us the name fades out the more I think the harder it is to hear the name as I looked up at her confused "You can't remember can you?" I could only shake my head as I sat there confused.

Why did he erase our memory and of that specific thing too? I could see the expressions of my mother and aunt as they looked at us "So your trying to tell me that Tsukune's brother is powerful enough to take a memory from you both while not being here?" They looked at each other and shrugged.

"He was strong enough to put holes in Tsukune when we was in school and put Moka in her place for once" They was shocked the same Moka who's currently

with my Destined one had been defeated by Tsukune's younger brother.

"Well that's good news mumu" I puffed up my cheeks at my aunt as I was getting angry as she could only laugh "I said to stop calling me that! And how is this good?" My mother smiled at me as I knew that look while pointing at Vanessa.

"It's just a theory but maybe you can find out by simply asking Tsukune and others did the same thing happen to them, if you knew of course his own brother would know as well" The thought was full on correct if the same thing happened to them then it had to be Silas but there was only one problem.

"How are we supposed to get in contact with him? It's hard for any of us to be around him as much anymore since he's with Moka" That was when she started to smile as they looked at Vanessa.

"You my dear is gonna attend Tsukune's birthday party in Kurumu's place, that should be easy enough for you since your lover is his brother" Her face became red immediately as she nodded "B-But what if he doesn't show up? I done even know Tsukune's Birthday let alone Silas's" I looked at them as I a thought came to mind.

"This wouldn't happen to be the same idea that you two was gonna use to try to get Tsukune to come visit me a few months ago was it?" They became quiet instantly as I felt my anger boil to its point.

"I told you two that I didn't wanna see him like this and you tried to do it anyway! He's gonna feel bad and try to say it was all his fault- if he ever come here it'll be because he chose it WITHOUT us contacting him" I looked at them as they gave slow agreeing nods as I then looked at Vanessa.

"Only confirm that it was Silas don't let Tsukune find out about what happened to me he'll only wanna come back because of guilt I want him to come to me because he miss me and want to be apart of my life not the opposite" After she gave me a nod I got up and made my way back down the stairs.

AT YOKAI ACADEMY

YUKARI'S P.O.V.

After Ruby helped me up she looked at me confusingly "Now that's strange" I looked up at her as she put her wand down as she looked me up and down.

"Your eating aren't you? You shouldn't have fell out like that" I don't know why but she was right as I tried to think about what just happened "It seems a friend of yours has actually gotten strong enough to take a memory" I watched the Headmaster walk in as we stood side by side awaiting his command.

"But who Sir? We don't know anyone with that kind of power" I nodded agreeing with Ruby "If your friend was Dragon then maybe he could've done it after all it wouldn't make sense for you two to do it" We turned as we seen the boy we met on our last year- the one who saved us from visiting a grave ourselves that day.

"Damian! Your back?" He have a agreeing nod as his hair had gotten longer and his muscles a little bit more noticeable as he wore a regular white T-Shirt with a black hoodie and Cargo pants to match as he didn't wear anything on his feet.

"I have to keep some type of appearance among my people every once in a while or it'll look bad for me" He hugged Ruby first and when he got to me I could literally feel his muscles squeezing me as I was in another world for a moment until he let go.

"It's nice to see you again Damian next time come see me first before you appear in my realm uninvited" Damian chuckled nervously as he gave a agreeing nod "Yes Sir I will" When the Headmaster left it was all smiles and giggles as Damian started to lean on the wall by the window ahead of us.u

"So how have my only lady witch friends been? Still working on your magic skills?" I could only smile as we nodded at him as he started looking out the window.

"There was almost a war against my people a while back but luckily it didn't escalate thanks to Gemini God Indra" The name made my eyes widen and he knew why already.

"He has made a big name for himself now after all he's one of the strongest Dragons in existence considering the fact he's one of the celestials that watch over my people" He then looked at us seriously while pointing to me.

"Headmaster said someone attempted to or stole a memory from you-now that guy that's supposed to be Tsukune's brother...no one has really seen him" We looked at him as shocked filled our faces as he was dead serious as I ran up to him.

"But how!? He's so strong that he almost killed Tsukune with one punch and destroyed Moka easily, if he's not at your war then...where is he?" I dropped to my knees dreading the worse.

I treated him badly when I first met him but when he opened up to me I felt so ashamed, he been through so much as a child even growing up from childhood and didn't make it any better until he left.

"He can't be dead *starts crying* he just can't be" Ruby got down beside me and started to a hold me as I knew how Tsukune was gonna feel if he knew this.

"Yukari, this guy had to steal a memory recently and what pushes me to believe he's one of my people suddenly my connections told me that they never heard of a "Silas" up there" He kneeled down to me as he held a determined look on his face.

"He might've snatched our memories but he took 'em too late now that we know he's a Dragon we just need to find out his next move, can you do that Yukari?" He stood while reaching a hand for me to stand as I took it wiping the tears off my face as he helped Ruby up as well.

"Now somebody knows something we just need to find out who knows even the tiniest thing" Silas was such a loner I couldn't possibly think of anyone that would be that close to him then I remembered the fight he and Tsukune had and the constant back and forth.

"I think I know who can help us" Shocked looks came on their faces as I felt my confidence rise 'I'll make up for my sin by bringing you home Silas, I don't know why your choosing whatever path your taking but I'll find you and free you' After thinking that my mood became even more better than it already was.

AT HOME

TSUKUNE'S P.O.V.

I was happy- no happy wasn't the word as I was laying down on the couch as my beautiful mate was cooking dinner in the kitchen for me.

Nothing could get better than this right now especially since my birthday is coming up soon but that dizziness early was odd and for Moka to have it Too was even more odd.

I didn't stress it though as I enjoyed the moment "Hey Moka I was wondering something, while your out at the castle with your family I wanna celebrate with friends from High School" She looked up as she put onions on the stove.

"You mean our friends? Sure why not I don't mind it would be nice for you to see them since we haven't seen them at all since high school" I gave a nod as I laid back down.

Once dinner was ready I ate with her as I gave a smile of appreciation as I ate the steak that had onions on top with the yellow rice on the side.

After eating I did the dishes and helped clean up as we showered together and slept together as I held her close and I could do nothing but feel like the luckiest man alive right now.

ELSEWHERE

In a underground hideout sat three people one on a chair and two on the steps as one by the wall as they was quiet- waiting for something or someone as they soon heard steps and looked at the entrance as a figure cloaked in black came in.

"So you must be Black Rose, you do a lot back home over seas and I've seen that you've been enjoying yourself since you've been here" The black figure just stood there for what seemed like forever.

"I have but I have a goal of my own and I intend to complete it" The man that sat in the chair stood up and came down the stair with his hands raised.

"And with us you complete it and then some we aim to push the ones in power and the ones in power reside here in this land not overseas where you've been slow grinding" It was obvious to them Black Rose is a woman and a ambitious one at that as he smiled.

"Here we're going to gain the power we deserve...I'm gonna become the fourth Hades Lord" She was shocked as she took a step back "A Fourth? There can only be three and it's been that way since they've existed" She could see the man's smirk as the torches on the wall finally made his features noticeable.

He was at least six feet three inches tall with jet black hair that stretched to his shoulders as he didn't wear a shirt as he showed his battle scars, his pants was combat made but he was barefoot as his eyes is a dark red.

"What do you say Black Rose? Ready to take them on head on and get your life back? I know I would." He reached a hand out to shake at first she was hesitant but she eventually shook his hand as he smiled evilly showing his fangs.

"Welcome to the crew Black Rose, we're called Spade." She nodded as everyone else in there began to smile evilly as well- they were ready to take over as one of the strongest monsters on the planet a Hades Lord.
