"Shit… EVERYONE DOWN!" Arashi grabbed Yoko and Shirone and hugged them close, then used his control over gravity to pull Kiba and Katase in, but Rias was a tad too far, so he had to resort to extreme measures. He manipulated the molecules that made up Rias and willed them to stream next to him and reform her. "Rättvakt!" He shouted creating a barrier in front of him and his friends.

The energy buildup from Murayama exploded outwards, but thankfully didn't harm any of the furniture since they were protected against energies like the {Power of Destruction} of the Bael Clan.

Murayama stood in the same place, the edges of her clothing ripped, and the entire left arm of her blouse destroyed, just being ribbons. She was literally steaming, her power now heating her skin as it flowed out in waves, and it absolutely eclipsed every member of Rias's peerage, then it withdrew, her body not trained enough to hold it, tried to restrain it.

"Rias! Put restraints on her power, or it will destroy her!" Arashi shouted urgently. Rias run up to her new pawn and put as much power as she could into the restraints, each restraint locking five percent of her power, until she had 15% left, so her body could contain it, but just barely.

"Wow!" Rias gasped in awe. "Her power is that of at least ten high class devils! The only other non-ultimate class I know of with that much, at least among devils, is my cousin Sairaorg!"

"Is he strong?" Murayama asked, taking a few deep breaths.

"The strongest devil of our generation." Rias said with a proud grin.

"Cool!" Katase exclaimed, in awe of her friend.

"The only problem is that her body isn't quite strong enough to handle her immense power." Arashi cut in. Murayama looked down and clenched her fist, looking angrily at the floor. "But that can easily be remedied with training." Arashi smiled and pat Murayama on the head, reassuring her. "And i'll see to it personally, and there is another person who i'm considering training as well, but that's neither here nor there."

"I'm getting pretty tired, Otouto, we should probably be getting home." Yoko yawned.

"Yes, I suppose we should, anyway, Aki-chan, there's someone who you need to see at our house. So you should probably follow us." Arashi started walking out the door, and held it for Akeno and Yoko who walked through moments after him. When the three got to the front gate of the school, they met up with Sinon, and on the way to the three's home, they caught up, telling each other what happened the past few years.

[]Arashi's House[]

Arashi's home was a well-maintained, classic japanese two story house, and tatami flooring. It wasn't particularly astonishing, but it was comfortable.

"It's mainly what it looks like, but we have a compressed space dojo in the basement, as well as a firing range. In the back is a garden and two greenhouses." Arashi said. All three of his companions stared at him slack jawed at the fact he had created a compressed space any other supernatural being in the town noticing. "Now then, come in come in." Arashi slid open the door and entered his home.

They all called out their greetings and slid off their shoes and into slippers, and entered the house proper. They all went and relaxed in the sitting room, watching TV and talking. A few minutes later they heard the door open again, and a familiar voice called out greeting.

"Branwen-sensei?" Akeno asked out loud.

"Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you that Raven is part of my Flight." Arashi half explained.

"Flight?" Akeno seemed to just get more and more confused.

"It's sort of like a Peerage for Devils or the Brave-Saints system for Heaven. The main differences is that the limit for revival for a Flight is five minutes, while for the other two the limit is an entire day. But on the flip side, if you join a flight, you lose a lot of weaknesses you would of had as another race, and become part dragon, but keep your previous racial benefits.

For example, if an angel were to join my flight, they couldn't fall, no matter what they did, and would lose their weakness to darkness due to the dragon aspect. Same with devils in reverse, they would lose their weakness to light and holy objects, but still have devil magic. And with humans, the only benefit they have is being born with a sacred gear, so if a human were to join, they would keep their sacred gear, but they become almost a full dragon, since human blood and bodies are so susceptible to change and 'corruption'." Arashi concluded his long explanation with a sip from his tea.

"Wow. Can you recruit anyone of any strength or are there requirements? And do you need consent to recruit someone or can you just make them, like the Angels and Devils?" Akeno inquired, intending to find out as much about her best friend as possible.

"They have to be at least a little weaker than me, overall. It isn't just magic power or physical strength, but also mental. So I could probably recruit someone like Crom Cruach due to me being smarter." Arashi said. 'Even though I trust her, I can't exactly let my true strength get out yet. Plus poking fun at Uncle Crom is entertaining.' He thought to himself. "And yes, I do need consent to have someone join my flight. Also I can have unlimited members, but I don't exactly want an army." He said.

"Wow, it seems so much cooler than the Peerage system, or the Brave Saints." Akeno sighed.

"Well, thats because its natural. The other two were manufactured in labs, while we dragons are just born with this ability." He explained, taking another sip of tea.

"Wow, Anyway, what was the thing you wanted me to see?" Akeno asked, while shuffling a bit closer to Arashi.

"Not something, someone. And they'll be here in. 5." Arashi took a sip of tea, and nothing happened.

"4." Again, nothing, but more tea.

"3." Still Nothing but another sip.

"2." Akeno was getting a little annoyed now at how slow he was counting, since he punctuated each number with a long sip.

"1." Another sip, and the sound of the door sliding open once more, and a voice that Akeno thought she would never hear again.

"Im home!" The voice called.

"D-Did you?" Akeno asked quietly, happy tears forming at the edges of her eyes. Arashi just smiled at her and nodded, taking another sip of his tea. Akeno hugged him tight then got up and ran towards the other room. She slammed open the door and practically tackled her mother.

"Kaa-san!" Akeno cried into Shuri's shoulder. Shuri looked surprised at first then a smile gre on her face. She sunk to her knees, her daughter in her arms.

"Aki-chan." Shuri said happily, and hugged her daughter, a few happy tears flowing down her face as she basked in the feeling of being back with her daughter. Sinon, Yoko, and Raven all looked over with a smile, but Raven's was a little sad as well.

"You ok, Rae-chan?" Arashi asked as he took her hand in his own.

"Yeah, its just…" Raven sighed and ran her hand through her hair, trying to calm down a bit. "I miss her."

"Your daughter?" Arashi asked as he rubbed circles on her back. Raven just gave a small nod.

"Then why don't we go see her?" Arashi asked.

"But the Old Wiz-" Raven tried to refuse but was cut off by Arashi.

"Can't do anything. You saved your friend a while ago, even if you needed my help to do so, and those were impossible odds. You can take anything that old bastard throws at you, and if you need help, we're here, and we always will be." Arashi gave her a warm smile, but then a spark came into his eyes, and an emotion he was starting to show more and more bubbled to the surface. "Besides, nothing can take what's mine away from me." At this, Arashi pulled her closer to him and planted a meaningful kiss right beside her lips. Raven rubbed her legs together, trying to restrain her growing lust.

Raven wasn't into weak men, but even then she would not let herself be dominated. For her sex was also combat, and whoever won that bout would be on top, and she didn't mind if it got a bit rough. Ok, a lot rough. She had discovered this with Taiyang, and it was one of the reasons they had stopped having sex. She provoked him to the point of punching her, in the middle of sex, and she punched him back, and found that she really liked this. It was a fist fight and sex at the same time, two things she really liked. That's not to say she didn't enjoy romantic sex or rutting like horny teenagers, but this was her strange kink. She had yet to tell Arashi about it, as they hadn't had sex or anything yet, but they were probably going to get there within a year.

"Alright then, let's go, but we have to keep a low profile, and only talk to her." Raven said.

"Got it." Arashi said with a smile, using a magic circle to summon their gear.

[]Island of Patch[]

Raven and Arashi arrived on the Island of Patch, which had an independent government from the surrounding islands, which were mostly U.S. territories. They were about three hundred miles North-East of Nassau, almost in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle.

The island was mostly forest, with cliffs on the South side that dropped two hundred feet into the ocean, while they progressively came to a cove on the North side, and the North-East was a large beach that looked to be fairly populated. The forests ended right about at the beach, and where cleared away for a small town that was next to a fantastical looking castle. All in all the island was about fifty square miles, and forty-five of those miles were forest.

"So, how far are we from her?" Arashi asked. Raven closed her eyes and channeled some of her energy, using half of her semblance to form a link to her daughter and see where she was.

"About five miles, she seems to be going through a forest with Ruby in a wagon. Also, stick to english, because they don't teach Japanese in the schools here, she might know chinese because that's the language Taiyang grew up with, but im not sure." Raven gave a nod to Arashi and she jumped forward, switching into her raven form and flying off, Arashi turning into a small dragon, a bit larger than Raven in her raven form, and flew off behind her.

"Can you become anything a little less conspicuous?" Raven asked through their telepathic link.

"I could, but do I need to?" Arashi whined.

"Yes." Raven deadpanned. Arashi sighed as he switched into a raven with a golden feather on it's left wing.

Arashi and Raven landed on a tree and watched Raven's daughter, Yang, who was twelve, trudge through the forest with her little sister behind her, happily eating cookies, she was ten. They watched this for another two hours, watching over them, to make sure they were safe, until around seven P.M., when the two girls reached the a rundown shack.

Yang had a few cuts and scrapes, nothing dangerous in this time, and Ruby was half asleep, with cookie crumbs on her face. All of a sudden there was growling a rustling in the bushes, and a small group of Beowolves appeared and lunged out of the bushes at Yang and Ruby. Yang was terrified, she was too scared to move, and Ruby fainted, but Raven was already in action.

Raven Bust forward in her bird form, and mid flight reverted back to her human one, and slashed through the middle of the Beowolf, lengthwise. She turned and cut off the head of another and bisected a third at the waist. She stabbed a fourth in the torso and sheathed her balde, and turned to Yang, but her eyes weren't on her, it was on the alpha lunging at her from behind. But then a shot rang out, and the Grimm's head exploded in gore, its body hitting the ground with a thump. Arashi jumped down from the tree and holstered his revolver once more.

"M-Mom?" Yang asked tentatively.

"Yeah, Yang, it's me." Raven said with a few unshed tears as she sat her Ōdachi on the ground next to her as she gave her daughter a tight hug. Arashi sensed someone coming, someone who felt like bad luck. Arashi created a barrier that augmented time inside so that every hour in it, was thirty seconds outside.

"Mom, I found you!" Yang cried, tears in her eyes as she hugged Raven tightly, not noticing the golden glow that briefly surrounded her as Arashi healed her wounds.

"Yeah, yeah you did, my Little Sun." Raven said, unshed tears shining in her eyes, breaking through her tough, and cold facade like few had before.

"Why did you leave, Mom?" Yang asked quietly, pulling back just enough to look her mother in the eye.

"I had to, you were in danger. People were after me, and if I didn't leave, and make it look like I didn't care, they would come after you to get to me. Yang, I love you, but know that you can't tell anyone. If you do, they will be after you, and I don't want anything to happen to you, ok?" Raven explained. Yang gained a determined look in her eye, and nodded vehemently.

"Alright, I love you, Mom." Yang said, as she hugged Raven tighter.

"I love you too, Little Sun." Raven said, kissing Yang on her forehead.

"By the way, who's that guy?" Yang asked as she and her mother stopped hugging.

"That's Arashi, he's… He's my boyfriend." Raven said resolutely. Arashi who had been half listening, half maintaining the barrier, snapped his head to look at her with a blush.

"Wh-What?" Arashi asked dumbly. But then the barrier fell. "Oh, shit." It erupted into millions of particles of golden light, then an ash-grey crow flew in and mid flight changed into a man.

He had graying black, spiky hair, dull red eyes, and slight stubble along his jawline. With a red, tattered cloak, he wore a gray dress shirt with a long tail, black dress pants, and black dress shoes. He was also wearing a ring on his right index finger, two other rings on his right ring finger, and a necklace with a crooked cross-shaped pendant. His hair was ash-grey and looked as if it was made entirely of feathers.

He was wielding a single-edged greatsword with a clockwork mechanism of indeterminate nature built into the space above the hilt, and a pair of parallel, bladed handguards is set beneath. A pair of shotgun barrels are also situated on either side of the main blade. That sword which Arashi idly thought looked awesome, was swinging straight at Raven, and probably by accident, Yang who was slightly behind her, and obscured.

Arashi's reflexes shifted into high-gear and he drew his daishō set from a magic circle and blocked the man's blade with both of his own weapons. He remembered a technique he had seen a man with pale-bluish skin, horns, white hair, and ringed grey-purple eyes use.

"Shinra Tensei!" Arashi uttered. He only put a tiny amount of energy into it, but it shoved the man back through at least two miles through the forest. He flinched and extended his senses to the man's position. He was alive, and mostly unharmed, but he was knocked out. "That was much more powerful than I expected." Arashi sighed. "Banshō Ten'in." He recalled the man back to him and carefully set him down.

"Arashi, could you change his memory to one that he saved Yang and Ruby and got hit by a lucky one, and took it out just before passing out?" Raven asked.

"Wow, that's pretty believable." Yang said with a giggle.

"Anyway, Yang, here." Raven said as she handed Yang four books. 'Norse Magic and You', 'East Asian Sorcery, the Sage Arts', 'Bladed Gauntlets and the Techniques to Use them', and last but certainly most interesting 'The Lineage of Date Masamune'.

"What are these, mom?" Yang asked as she took them.

"These are books that will help you train in your natural magic, and the type of weapon you're interested in." Raven said with a smile.

"How did you know I liked bladed gauntlets?" Yang asked.

"Just because I haven't been here, doesn't mean I haven't been watching." Raven said. Yang just smiled and hugged Raven once more, before turning and wondering about how she was going to get her now snoring family home. Arashi grinned and slammed his hands onto the ground, turning the rocks nearby to steel, and shaping it into a wagon. He then pulled out a spare length of cloth he kept in his travel pouch, and used a small bit of spatial manipulation to turn it into a bag to carry the books.

"Be careful, Yang." Arashi said, giving her a pat on the head.

"C'ya later, Dad." Yang said with a teasing smirk on her face when she said Dad. Arashi just spluttered before running up to her and handing her a golden amulet that looked like half of his symbol, the golden half.

"Use this if you ever need to talk to me or your mom, it'll project energy in the form of a hologram, and you can talk to us using it." Arashi grinned as he showed her an amulet that looked like the other half of his symbol, and it was black.

"Thanks, and do you mind me calling you dad? I mean, my other dad isn't that much of a dad, he makes jokes and stuff, be he never does anything with us, and mostly just teaches or is out late at night, its just Ruby, Summer, and I. Sometimes Uncle Qrow is there too, but not often." Yang asked, worried.

"It's fine, Hatchling." Arashi grinned and gave her a hug.

"Hatchling?" Yang asked, a questioning look on his face.

"I'm a dragon… It's just sorta what we call our kids." Arashi shrugged as he walked back over to raven, both waving to Yang as they teleported away. Yang just stood there in awe of her new Dad being a dragon.

[]Back at Arashi's House[]

Arashi's Magic Circle appeared on the floor of his living room, allowing he and Raven to get back almost instantly. Arashi looked around the room, seeing his sisters as well as Akeno and Shuri under the kotatsu, asleep. Arashi smiled as he turned off the light and he and Raven went up to his room.

"So, Shi-kun. It seems that Yang has taken a liking to you." Raven said as she curled up into Arashi's side, her head rested in the crook of his neck.

"Yeah, i'm pretty happy about that, though we will have to keep a close watch on her, make she she and Ruby are ok, Summer too. Raising two kids pretty much on your own must be pretty stressful." Arashi said.

"Yeah, but i'll have to leave Summer mostly to you, Ruby too, as much as I hate to say it. I need as few people to know I care about them as possible." Raven said, cuddling closer to Arashi.

"That's fine, I figured that it would be that way." Arashi hugged Raven a bit tighter, as he turned to face her. Raven was just wearing a bra and panties, while Arashi was in just his boxers. Arashi leant in and kissed Raven, putting all of his feeling for her into the kiss, and he felt euphoria. Raven was taken by surprise for a moment, but returned the kiss with just as much passion as the young Dragon God before her.

Raven prodded Arashi's lips with her tongue, practically begging for entrance. He parted his lips enough for her tongue to enter, and so began their battle. It lasted almost a minute, but in the end Arashi won, albeit barely, and he flipped Raven onto her back, pressing their kiss deeper. He then pulled back, a string of saliva connecting their mouths, and panting filled the room, the need for air overriding their lust momentarily.

Arashi went back and started kissing down Raven, first her jaw, then her neck, her collarbone, the center of her chest. Arashi looked into Raven's eye and silently asked for permission. She just smiled and pulled him up to her level.

"Sorry, but if we kept going I don't know if I would be able to stop, and I don't think i'm quite ready enough yet." Raven said sadly, though she did kiss him, to try and make up for it.

"There's nothing to be sorry for, we need to take thing at our own pace, and if you aren't ready yet, that's fine, I refuse to pressure you into anything, Rae-chan." Arashi kissed her nose, then pulled her into his side, and the blanket over both of them.

[]Next Morning[]

Arashi blinked his eyes open, and rid them of any filth, but he tensed as he registered a few absences, but relaxed again when he felt their presences downstairs. He turned to his side and saw Raven, who was sleeping quite adorably in his opinion.

Most of her hair was splayed around her, like a halo of darkness, but a few strands found their way onto her face. She even had a little stream of drool going down her left cheek. Arashi smiled warmly at seeing her so at ease.

Arashi took to stroking Raven's hair, and listening to her snore for a while before he would wake her up. As he decided that he thought back to few things, and made plans for the future. He thought back on how he had met everyone in his flight.

[]Ten Years Prior, Death Valley, Nevada, United States[]

Arashi and Jormungand were walking through a large desert area, packs on their backs, and hats on their heads. They had decided on a week long nomadic camping trip to Death Valley for a bit of relaxation, and a change of scenery, as hanging in the same place twenty four seven was hard on Arashi. Arashi had chosen this place, as the name sounded exciting, but it wasn't.

Arashi sort of wanted to go home, but this was still more interesting then just staying at home either training or doing nothing. They had been out there for three days, three out of seven. Arashi had heard stories of monsters from humans that lived by, but as of yet, he hadn't seen or sensed any. Then he heard it. The were loud noises, metal hitting stone, he realised. He ran forward, and just over the crest of the dune he and his father were on, there was a battle taking place.

There was a girl in a schoolgirl outfit consisting of a white blouse with a yellow sweater vest, a green striped tie, a red plaid skirt, and black boots with white buckles. Over that she was wearing a black trenchcoat with a cloak-like end. She was wielding a scythe with a what looked to be a standard steel snath, the shaft of the scythe, the ring appeared to have a black sawtooth pattern, the heel looked like a flat-notched screw, the tang had an eye design, while the chine had a red and black sawtooth pattern.

The girl had light taupe hair in pigtails, and green eyes that were filled with determination, but her body showed clear signs of fatigue. Arashi got ready to jump in, but Jormungand put a hand on his shoulder.

"We can't interfere in everyone's battles, Son, if we did so, the word at large would rely on us, there throwing away their own lives and strength, which for balance, just won't do." The old dragon said.

"Alright…" Arashi grumbled. "Hey, look at what she's doing!" Arashi stared wide eyed at the attack that the girl was charging up.

"WITCH HUNT!" Screamed the girl as a glowing purple and light blue energy surrounded the blade of her scythe, looking like a crescent moon with an eye. She swung the scythe toward the creature she was fighting, it looked like a giant worm with a beak, and it cut right through, but then it folded in on itself, a red orb with a trail leading from the top floated to the ground from where they had killed the creature.

"Don't tell me…" Jormungand grumbled. Suddenly the scythe glowed and transformed into another girl.

The girl had long white hair that went to the middle of her back, and red eyes. She was wearing a yellow-orange and black jacket, and had black jeans, with black hiking boots with yellow toes. She reached out and grabbed the strange orb, before swallowing it.

"That's ninety-eight, one more then we move onto a witch, right?" The girl with white hair asked.

"Yeah, but either way, we're the last." The other girl said solemnly.

"The last of our kind yes, but not the last of our friends, Blair is still at home with Angela and Mifune, so cheer up a bit, we were at least able to save them." The white haired girl said with a sad smile.

"Yeah." The green eyed girl nodded, a small smile in place. All of a sudden, the ground between the two rumbled, and eight of the worms from before erupted from different places in the ground.

"Dad, can I help them, please?" Arashi asked his father.

"Yeah, we need to talk to them though, I thought people like them were all gone." The golden eyed dragon nodded to his son, who jumped over the eight beasts.

"TA INÄLVORNA UR!" Arashi shouted, and black and gold energy shot into the beasts, and caused them to be ripped to shreds.

Arashi landed in a crouch in the center of the dead shreds of what once were Mongolian Death Worms. At his landing, sand billowed up around him, which would've been cooler if he were wearing his cloak, but he wasn't, he and his father were in short sleeve t-shirts and shorts. Both girls squinted to try and look through the cloud of sand that was obscuring their saviour.

Arashi stood up and looked at the two girls strangely for a moment before speaking. "Why are you two wearing black in the desert?"

"W-What?" Asked the girl with pigtails.

"Well, darker colors absorb more light, so they get hotter, which is why it's good for winter jackets and the like, but bad for hot areas, like this." Arashi said as he brushed sand off his shirt.

"You destroy eight giant worm things with some weird magic, then the first thing you say is that?! What the hell?" The girl with white hair got up into Arashi's face and started yelling profanity after profanity at him.

"Calm down, he's always weird like this. Probably gets it from his mother." Jormungand said as he walked up to the three.

"Who are you two?" The green-eyed girl asked.

"I'm Arashi, Oändling Arashi." Arashi said, holding his hand out.

"Wait, so your family name is Arashi? Why'd you introduce yourself by Arashi first then?" The green-eyed girl asked as she shook his hand.

"No, his he learned Japanese before English, so he's used to going family name before given name. But since we taught him english, he's taken to westerns, where they say their given name, then their given and family." Jormungand explained, shaking the girl's hand as well.

"Yeah yeah, what I wanna know is how you did that!" The red-eyed girl asked with a toothy grin, exhibiting skarky teeth.

"Did what?" Arashi asked, clueless to how powerful the creatures were.

"Kill them so easily! Those weren't normal Deathworms, they were a gang that had all almost become Kishin, and had fused with a pack of Deathworms!" The girl exclaimed.

"What the hell's a Kishin?" Arashi asked.

"Language! A Kishin is a human that has found a way to eat other human souls, and has consumed a very large number of innocent souls. In terms of power, a normal fully fledged Kishin is on the level of your average dragon, but the strongest I heard of was on par with Yu-Long." Jormungand explained to his son.

"Ohh. That's bad." Arashi said, realization hitting him like a truck. "That's really bad."

"Umm, excuse me but, who's you long?" The green-eyed girl asked.

"It's Yu-Long, its Chinese. He's the weakest of the Dragon Kings, barely makes the cut to be honest. But even in that case, he is still very strong compared to most." Jormungand ran his hand through his hair. "Anyways, what are Grimlings doing here in the Valley of Death?"

"Grimlings?" All three of the kids queried.

"So you don't know…" Jormungand sighed, before continuing on to explain. "A Grimling is one of those descent from the original reapers, before they all faded and the newer Shinigami took their place. I had detected only three left until a couple of months ago. But Grimlings were given their names from the title 'Grim Reaper', given to their ancestors by fearful humans. They developed the ability to either turn into, or wield weapons that can harvest souls. Very few can do both, and even fewer can manifest one outside themselves as the original Reapers could."

"That pretty much explains us." The white-haired girl said.

"So, tell us your story?" Arashi asked. He loved hearing the stories of other people's lives, since he was usually in the Sanctuary and never got out to have his own adventures.

"Well, there used to be a school and a city near here, the D.W.M.A and Death City respectively. All the students and teachers were either weapons or meisters, people who could become some sort of weapon, or could wield those weapons. We were students, i'm guessing you can figure out which of us is which, Mr…" The girl trailed at the end, asking the tall man his name.

"I'm Jormungand, and you've already been introduced to Arashi." he said as he looked back at them.

"I'm Maka Albarn, and this is my weapon partner, Soul Evans." The green-eyed girl, now known as Maka introduced her and her friend. "Now then, a year ago, a witch named Medusa revived the first Kishin, who i'm guessing is the strongest. He recovered fully within a few months and it came to a battle at the school. It turned out that not only was he a Kishin, he was Lord Death's son, so i'm guessing that they were buth Reapers, since lord death was so powerful, and that you detected three, since the Kishin, Asura had a brother, Death the Kid. It came down to Soul and I, as well as a few of our friends to fight Asura, which included Kid, after Asura k-killed Lord Death." At this moment, maka started tearing up.

"Hey, let's go find someplace to sit and rest our feet for a while, before we continue." Arashi suggested, not wanting to see her cry. Soul and Maka nodded, and followed the two, until the found an oasis. Though the two Grimlings didn't notice that a few of the trees and other plants were growing rapidly until they looked like they had been there a while, but Jormungand just patted his son on the back, said son was trying his best to act innocent, but it wasn't working.

"Alright, now, continue." Jormungand said.

"Well, Asura absorbed the souls of almost everyone in the city, except us who were fighting him, and our friend Blair, and her boyfriend and their surrogate daughter, Mifune and Angela. Well, it took awhile, but we were able to get a huge hit on him, using black blood, and a cross-soul resonance, but we weakened him, unfortunately, Black Star, the other Meister we were fighting alongside got cocky and ran in, but Asura was ready, Kid jumped in front of him to try and save him, but they both got killed, their weapon partners too, since they both tried to block." Maka was openly sobbing now. Arashi put a hand on her shoulder and emitted a calming aura, causing her sobbing to lessen into silent crying. At this point Soul took over the telling of their story, as she let Maka lean into her.

"Maka was enraged, and the black blood tried to take her over, it causes madness by the way, but her rage took control of the blood and she became like a berserker, and the blood manifested itself into an armor, and I transformed. Maka was in a black dress, with white inner frills, and two flame like energies coming from behind her ears, and I took on a strange form. My blade was now black and white, and looked like the keys of a piano, and I had the same flames coming from the opposite side of my snath. It was strange, but then Maka started sprouting grey and black scythe blades from her body, since it turned out that she also inherited the weapon gene from her father, not just the meister gene from her mom. The battle is a blur, but we killed Asura, but at the cost of almost everyone we know's lives." Soul said, gripping loose fabric on her pants.

"So, what are you trying to do now?" Arashi asked.

"Well, we want to complete the final thing Lord Death asked of us. He gave us a large part of his soul right before he died, so that when soul finishes collecting the souls she needs, she will become the ultimate Death Scythe." Maka said, recalling that somber time.

"What about after?" Jormungand asked. A tense silence followed.

"We… We never thought that far." Soul admitted, an angry look on her face.

"You could come with us. We have plenty of room in the sanctuary, and just sitting with the same small group of people for so long with nothing much to do isn't good for your mental health. We can go pretty much anywhere, so its not like we'll be cooped up or have nothing to do. And I bet the sanctuary is more comfortable than wherever you all are living. And your friends can even come as well!" Arashi extended the offer, trying to make them feel better. Jormungand just smiled half proud half exasperated by his son. He admired the need to try and help them, but he wasn't just affecting their or his lives but other, he can't make the decision on his own.

"We'll, we'd have to ask Mifune and Angela, and Blair would just go wherever they did, so let's go back and ask." Maka suggested.

"Alright." The other three agreed, and from there they started the trek back to the new Pumpkin House.

[]Flashback End[]

Arashi was knocked out of his thoughts when Raven leant up and kissed him, and gave him one of her few, but far more frequent than before, warm smiles. Arashi smiled back down at her, and put his forehead against hers.

"I love you, Rae-chan." Arashi said.

"I love you too, Shi-kun." She smiled up at him.

[]A/N Start[]

HEEEEY! Just, ignore the fact that I took almost six months to update and it wasn't even a longer chapter. But just a quick warning, the next few chapters are going to be flashbacks and fluff. Maybe the first lemon will b thrown in. ALso his will not be a pure smut or a bunch of smut and some plot story. It's going to be like. 95% Plot and 5% Lemons. Also 100% fluff. I love fluff and romance tbh. Anyway, thanks for soldiering through my irregular updates and lack of schedule. I love you all, and thanks for reading.
