Eibon open the door of the castle and called out, "I'm home!" Soon, a negative shadow being appear with puzzle pieces sticking out of his body; "Welcome home Eibon. Your mother Xros is waiting for you in her bedroom."

The Neko's eyes wided and asked, "Is she feeling better Jigsaw?" The negatives shadow, Jigsaw, nodded and said, "Yes as your step-mother Spirit was able to get the medicine Xros needed. However, she still weak, son she'll be bedridden for awhile."

Neko quickly ran towards his adopted mother's room and opened it to see some angel mice cleaning up her room. He already questioned why his mother's subjects were always angel mice. He remembered that her caretaker, Molly, once said they were once shadows who haunted these castle, but he was baby during that time. All he heard was a certain event turned them back to mice, but they never explained what that 'event' was.

In fact, Molly herself barley visit now and days as she has to take care of the churchs around here and due to her 'no longer connected to his mother's soul', she often would stay there overnight. Thankfully, Spirit, his adopted step-mother, kept things in check as well.

Which was great due to Xros's declining health.

His adopted mother as be growing weaker each and every year, losing her ability to even to move at all in a single day and being voluble to any viruses. This was due to her own blood becoming thinner and thinner and it's always been a question when she's have no choice but to pass away; something that scared and worried Eibon. He deeply love the only person who seems to understand him completely and showed him what love actually is.

Speaking of Xros, the negative Neko Angel was awake and was being sat up by the mice; "Okay, please leave me and my son alone." The angel mice flew out of the room and Eibon quickly hugged his mother. "I'm so glad you're feeling better..", he said softly, hugging her tightly.

His mother allow him to lay on her body and said, "Yes, I'm alright sweetheart. However, I noticed you gained a new power it seems." Eibon sat up and nodded; "Yeah... it was weird... I recently gained a magical sword." The Neko boy got off the bed and summoned his newly aquire sword. He explained what happened and Xros studied the sword.

"Yes... yes.. this sword is not from this world...", she said as she rubbed the blade with her left hand. Eibon nodded and asked, "Do you think it came from the world I've came from?"

Eibon was fully aware of the story of about that night when Xros saved and adopted him. He wasn't trying to go back to his world as he knew they would killed him. He was at least trying to learn who he was; what he was.

Xros shook her head and said, "I'm not sure. They're many worlds across the dream dimension and it will take forever to find the one you abandoned you. Ether way, this sword may actually help you with your studies at school. I recommend you practice and learn more about your new sword... *cough.."

The Neko boy quickly put his sword back into his soul and quickly hold his mother she started coughing and losing consciousness. "Go to sleep mother. I'll see if I can learn about this sword. I.. love you.." Xros smile softly as she quickly lay down in her bed. She quickly speak before falling back into a deep sleep; "I.. love.. you.. too.. sweetheart.."

Eibon began to quietly shed tears as he lay down on his mother. He wish she wasn't close to death's door that often. He wanted to save her from her suffering, but how?

The bedroom door slowly opened and Eibon saw his step-mother, Spirit, slowly walked in. "Okay son... let your mother sleep alone. Besides, we got someone in front of the castle causing trouble; asking for you." The Neko's eyes wided and quickly got up in confusion.

"ARGH...!", Chao Nun yelp as she was smashed against the wall. The attacker smirk and said, "This is the forces of The Queen of Souls? I was expecting more.."

"Well.. let me give you more."

The unknown attacker quickly dodged Eibon's negative blast. The Neko looked at the stranger, who was a fairy Kitsune with nine tiles. His hair and tail was white and he was wearing a green tuxedo and and light blue top hat.

"Well, well, well... finally get to see you Eibon. You've been on the 4 of Classes's mind for awhile and I must say, I've been dying to slaughter you."

Eibon sigh and asked, "You are you and why are you attacking my family?" The fairy Kitsune laugh at the Neko and said, "Pardon me... The names Elite and you're a perfect enemy of mines alongside Tsuki. You'll soon see the continuing power of..."

BLAST!

Elite was hit by a wave of negative energy by Eibon and was slammed into the wall. The Kitsune smirk and said, "So be it... just die already." He quickly summoned his orange and brown 1902 Army Officer Sword and quickly began slashing at Eibon. The Neko quickly summoned his bigger sword and the two clash into each other non-stop.

"I must admit, you're totally better than I expected. However, you lack the bloodlust I need in this battle."

Eibon's eyes wided in confusion and Elite quickly fire a blast of energy towards...

"MOTHER!!"

The Neko scream in horror as the energy hit his mother's bedroom, causing an explosion. He quickly ran inside the castle and saw his mother awake and laying down in the ground. She was able to teleport away from the blast in time before it hit, which wasn't a surprise for Eibon, but still... that bastard just attacked his mother.

STAB!

Eibon grind his teeth in anger as Elite's sword stabbed through his chest. Xros's eyes wided in horror and shouted, "EIBON!! WHAT'S GOING ON HERE!?"

"I wish I knew... mother..", Eibon answered back as he quickly removed the sword out of his chest. He quickly healed himself and Spirit appeared to attack the intruder. However, Elite flew away while saying, "If you want revenge! Defeat the first three members of the 4 if Classes. I'll be waiting.

The poor Neko sigh and asked, "Why does these fairies have a bone to pick with me..."
