Chapter 13

Me: I do not own VK or its characters and I don't own Naruto and his characters, or any of the songs in this fic! I own the OC's and this Idea for the whole entire fic now on to the main attraction!

"hjhjh"= regular talking

"hjhjh"= thinking or in their animal form

"hjhjh"=mind to mind talking or singing or flashback

"hhihih"=their weapons talking

Note: When Esterallia and Yuuta are in their wolf forms they are the same size as the two wolves from Princess Mononoke (LOVE THAT MOVIE)

Note 2: When the kids and wolves are at cross academy with the VK gang they have their ears, tails, and wings out. When in public places like towns or what ever they are hidden.

Currently the kids and wolves where saying goodbye to the pack, along with Oishi's parents, who agreed to come along to surprise Cross, and also to meet the ones who have been taking care of , as E'nomis put it, her hatchlings. As the grown ups talked with each other the teenagers made sure every child is present.

"9...10! Everyone is here!" Esterallia stated with a proud expression. "I'm just glad you guys didn't give me a hard time!" then her expression turned to that of suspicion. "Which is odd for you all of..." She immediately notice Yaro, Chris, and Haruna focused their gazes on the ground.

"Stop scaring them Esterallia-chan" Itachi said with a smirk. "All of them are here and accounted for..." he then gave a mocked sigh. "If your not scaring the kids then you scare away the guys." Itachi said dodging a punch from said girl.

"Hn. Its not only the guys..." Sasuke mumbled under his breath.

Ino laughed. "Oh man isn't that the truth!" she grinned when Esterallia glared at her, which looked more like a pout than a glare. "You know its true, like ...um when we first met Yuuta-kun you forced him to play with you-"

"I didn't force Yuuta-kun to do anything!" Esterallia replied with a huff. "Right Yuu-kun!"

"Um- uh- I have to go to the bathroom!" Yuuta stated with panic and ran up stairs with an angry Esterallia behind him. The teenagers and kids laughed at the yelling which consisted of Yuuta yelling 'abusive mate' followed by 'I am not abusive!, tell them I am not abusive!' from Esterallia.

Yuuta ran back down and hid behind the kids for protection, Esterallia came marching down the stairs with a sad face, she then ran into Hinata's waiting arms hugging her friend.

"Aw Yuu-kun you hurt her feelings!" Naruto said joining the hug, rubbing his cheek against her's purring. Yuuta then started feeling guilty and went to his mate squeezing between Hinata and Naruto then started begging for forgiveness and apologizing.

The children just rolled their eyes.

"We should be going." E'nomis said walking to the Eye door with her husband, the children, and two wolves nodded saying farewells to the pack once again before leaving.

Naruto sighed sadly. "Well they're gone...and its not as fun anymore." he said pouting.

"Not really..." Gaara spoke gain questioning gazes, he counted down on his fingers and pointed to the door where their friends just left from.

Right when he pointed to the door, there was panic talking then yelling before the door slammed open, and an angry Esterallia came in sniffing the air then walking over to Gaara, staring at his shirt. She gave Gaara a look and he sighed before pulling a rabbit Haruna from out of his shirt. Haruna looked at him with beady eyes when she was given to Esterallia she immediately started struggling trying to get back to Gaara. Once the two were gone the packed laughed at Gaara, who only shrugged.

"Let's get ready to open." Yuuma said shaking his head. They all went to work, going back to their regular routine.

IN THE REALWORLD!

The children and grown ups were taking their time getting back to the academy stopping at shops buying some food or just looking but mostly saying hello to venders they recognized before running to another vender or just running ahead. Esterallia smiled at them loving how their eyes lit up. She sighed, feeling content, as she gazed up at the blue sky, it was a nice day today, though it was a bit chilly but that was to be expected since it was fall. Other than that... 'It is a very beautiful day..' she thought, her smile widening.

"Oi!" Yuuta's voice called ahead of her, she doesn't remember stopping. Looking ahead she saw the kids,him, and Ryuuju and E'nomis waiting for her. "Hurry up or we'll leave you!" he said with a smile.

She smiled back running to catch up with the group she intertwined hers and Yuuta's hands together, then they continued to cross academy unaware of the wide blue eyes watching the group from the roofs.

"I found them...they are okay." the figure whispered to himself in relief. He then pulled out a cell phone, dialing numbers then pressing it to the side of his face. He waited a few moments for the other to answer.

"Thanatos-sama I found them and right now they are heading back to the academy." he informed Thanatos still watching the group as he talked to the man.

"Alright stay hidden and follow them there...Also do you know where they just came from...Hikaru-kun? Any changes at all?" asked Thanatos.

Hikaru shook his head 'no' then remembered Thanatos could not see him and voiced his answer. "No, I don't know where they just came from sir but two people are with them probably parents to one of the children..." he sighed and started jumping from roof to roof unnoticed by civilians and his targets, landing on the town clock tower.

"Alright...Stay focus Hikaru-kun... I don't need to be there to know how much you want see them, your friends and your siblings...Right now it is not the best time and if you did show yourself now... they would not even know who you are." Thanatos explained with no emotion, though to others it would sound as if he didn't care, but Hikaru heard the concern in his voice.

Clenching the cell phone in his hand, he glared at nothing and bit out " I know that." He knew that...he knew that they wouldn't recognize him even if he explained, he knew it would be impossible for them to believe. And that hurt. 'The truth hurts.' he thought sadly gazing at the sky. Thanatos's voice brought him back to reality. "Sir?"

He heard Thanatos sigh."Hikaru... continue to shadow them but be careful of the two with them."

Hikaru smirked jumping to another building. "I didn't know you cared."

He heard the other chuckle. "I didn't know you jumped into a building."

"What- oh crap!" Hikaru barely stopped himself from hitting a building that came out of nowhere, using his energy to stick to the wall instead of hitting it, staying stuck to the wall trying to calm his beating heart, he glared when he heard Thanatos's laughter. "Cheap trick." he growled into the phone.

"Serves you right." Thanatos said amusement laced in his voice.

Hikaru was back on the roof tops looking for his targets."Yeah, yeah... Great because of your little trick I lost- wait, found them." He spotted them on the dirt path, that was just outside the town, that lead to the academy. "Should I continue following? They are on a dirt path which leads to the academy, it will be hard to follow since there isn't that much cover." Hikaru stated watching his targets get farther away from his spot on the roof. His eyes widen when he saw Anise turn around staring straight at him with curios eyes brown eyes. Ignoring Thanatos calling to him from his phone. They continued to stare at each other until she smiled at him, he sadly smiled back at her. He saw, though far from each other, how her eyes lit up before she gave a small wave and caught up with the others. Hikaru would have continued staring after the group if Thanatos wasn't calling him.

"Hikaru!" he shouted into the boy's ear making him wince.

"I'm here Thanatos-sama..." he sighed looking back at the group, who were now dots from where he stood. "I'm here."

"I'm not sure you are, what was that all about Hikaru-kun?" he asked calmly but Hikaru knew Thanatos was a bit angry and annoyed at him for making the man worried.

He scratched the back of his head with a small laugh. "One of them saw me..." he smiled sadly waiting for his master's reply.

"Which one?" Thanatos asked.

Hikaru sighed yet again. "My sister...my little sister, Anise, saw me." He replied gripping his chest eyes clenched close, feeling to many emotion swirling within him that pain started build. He continued to tell Thanatos what happen, how anise smiled and waved at him instead of alerting the others about him following them. "That's all that happened."

"Comeback." He commanded.

"But I can still follow them!" He yelled into the phone.

"Apparently not...because of that encounter you lost sight of your objective and if I had let you continued to follow them...you would have revealed yourself to them. Seeing them has clouded your mind and many emotions are building up, I knew this would happen, Hikaru, come back before you do something stupid." Thanatos explained leaving no room for argument.

Hikaru bowed his head, his bangs covering his eyes. Thanatos was right, he knew he would show himself to his siblings, ruining the plans Thanatos made. Sighing he began."At least let me arrive at the entrance to the school...onegai."

He heard the man sigh then spoke. "You are only hurting yourself more this way Hikaru know that." and he hung up.

Pocketing his phone he jumped off the roof landing on the ground then started walking down the dirt path. "I know... I know." Hikaru said to no one and began walking to the academy. Thoughts were going through his head, wondering how his sisters ever escaped from their twisted aunt and uncle, what they've been through, and most importantly who was taking care of his sisters but not only his sisters but Haruna and Moriko, along with Yuuta and Esterallia. Stopping just at the stairs of the gate, Hikaru decide to go in using the trees as cover, jumping from branch to branch trying to locate his sisters. Hearing voices he stopped trying to pinpoint the voices, he started going to his left stopping again, once he saw the view of the parking lot he hid higher in the trees using his powers to change the color of his clothes to match that of the trees. He spotted the kids along with the wolves, seeing the vampires come and greet them holding various bags and suit cases, he guessed the vampires and girls were only visiting and were getting ready to go. The chairman was present also, with him was a man, a hunter, who looked more like a cowboy but he wasn't important right now.

"Who are they... who are the ones caring for my sisters?" he said to himself watching as the cowboy almost got tackled to the ground by the kids. Hikaru couldn't stop the smile blooming on his lips. He then focused on the girls already knowing the boys lived in the academy, Haruna lived with Takuma and Seiren and Shiki and Rima(1), and Moriko lived with Kain and Ruka. So that left Ichiru and Maria, Yuuki and Aido, and Kaname and Zero.

'Which ones?' he thought to himself, his question was soon answered.

"Zero-nii!" he heard Anna call to the silver jumping into his arms laughing. 'Nii...so they must be living with those two and..." His face became a grimace at his next thoughts. ' They see him as their big brother.' he clenched his hand into a fist as he glared at Zero but he couldn't hold ill or negative feelings toward him and the other vampires. How could he? They're the ones who kept them safe while he was off looking for the murderers of his mother and father. He gazed at the group with warm eyes. "Thank you." he said disappearing into thin air returning back to the castle to report to Thanatos.

"Huh..." The triplets gazed at the place where Hikaru was, with confusion before shrugging it off but still thought to talk about it later.

"Besides Yagari-kun being a surprise for you guys, 3 more wait some where on the campus." he said happily.

"Why can't you just tell us where?" Kin asked with suspicion.

Cross smile turned into a full blown grin. "Because that would be boring." he then held up one finger. "Plus it can be a competition girls against boys! Which ever team finds the three surprises first gets the prize!"

"Uh huh...what's this really about Cross-san?" Yaro asked with narrowed eyes.

Cross face changed to that of innocence."Whatever do you mean?"

The boys sighed and were going to ask the girls if they wanted to do this 'competition' only to find their friends gone.

Shiki finished putting the last of his luggage in the car. "They started without you guys."

"And took my hat." Yagari said, his face showing boredom and annoyance while he scratched the top of his head glaring at his students who were snickering.

"They took Chris-kun with them too." Rima said pulling out pocky.

"And took my hat."

Aido let out a chuckle. "More like kidnapped."

"And took my hat."

"Something along the line of 'if you want foxy back withdraw from the competition!'" Maria stated as if she was part of the mafia. "That's what Moriko-chan said."

"And took my hat."

"Fine!" Oishi sighed out walking up the stairs leading to the grounds of the academy. "We'll do this competition." Kin and Kai started pulling Yuuta along with them.

"And-"

"And get back your hat!" Yaro yelled catching up the with his friends.

"Don't forget Chris-kun!" Ichiru called back to them.

Once out of hearing distance Yuuki spoke. "Sooo?" she drawled out smiling a mischievous smile.

Cross blinked taken back. "So what?"

Yuuki huffed before blowing up. "What is the surprise?"

Cross made and 'o' face then replied. "You'll just have to wait and see! Or you can go look to!" He said then ducked as rock that sailed past his head. "I have paper work to do." he turned to E'nomis and Ryuuju. "Why don't we catch up."

"Of course that would be lovely!" E'nomis chimed happily linking Cross's arm with hers.

Ryuuju shook his head and followed his wife and friend. "What's there to catch up on? You are still crazy and whack-job."

He almost tripped when Cross pulled him ruffly to link arms with him, Ryuuju glared at the chairman, who only grinned.

"I still love and missed you too Ju-ju!" he laughed as the dragon growled at his nickname.

E'nomis laughed behind her hand as the two began going at each other...well more like Cross making embarrassing comments while the sea dragon was making threats if the man didn't stop talking nonsense and being an idiot. The three continued to reminisce leaving the others to do whatever they pleased.

"They're an...odd group." Aido said not really knowing what else to say or how to describe the three, his friends agreeing completely.

Yagari scoffed. "That's putting it lightly," he crossed his arms leaning against the stone wall behind him. "But that's Cross, leave it to him to meet and befriend the odd ones."

Ichiru mumbled, "Then you must be odd too."

"What was that brat?" Yagari snapped at him, smirking when Ichiru tensed with a quick answer of 'nothing'. "Hn. That's what I thought."

With the Kids, The girls and Chris

They were running along the the corridors of the school checking every classroom for there surprise. Right now, Esterallia, Haruna, and Anise came from the last class room on the first floor, not finding anything or better yet they didn't even know what to look for, since the chairman didn't even give them a hint. The three checked the desks, under the chairs, closets and even the windows! But still came up with nothing. After closing the door, a defeated sigh left each of the girls mouths as they slid down the wall.

Hearing steps coming down the stairs next to them the girls regraded the four, who looked drained, with hopeful eyes. Staring at one another for a few seconds longer, all of them sighed in hopelessness. Moriko let out a frustrated yell asking how will they know what to find or who. Everyone then went into deep thought, wondering what to do next.

Anna perked up. "That's it!" She shouted startling her friends from her thoughts.

"What's it Anna?" Anise asked staring at her sister with confusion.

"You've figured something out?" Alice asked tilting her head.

Anna grinned nodding her head. " Yep! Its-"

"What is it? Tell us?!" Chris asked or more like demanded, then began asking question after question getting in Anna's face, he would have continued if Esterallia didn't cover his mouth.

"Like I was saying," she smiled standing up from the step she was sitting on. " Ojii-chan said beside Uncle Yagari being a surprise there are three others, meaning the remaining three could be presents of some kind or people!"

Esterallia stood up and hugged the girl. "You genius! It makes perfect sense!" She stood up and addressed the six with determination and confidence. "Now we know what we are searching for and so we'll start from here and start checking the dorms, including the night dorms! Now lets get to it!" She gained cheers and the group started back up the search.

With the boys

The boys still didn't figure out what to look for or didn't need to discuss it since the males chose to go with looking for an object and secret codes that they believed the chairman laid out for them. The area the group were currently searching was the day class dorms, having the same problems as the other groups not really knowing what to search for. The idea of searching for secret codes began to fail, and Kai was the first to point it out.

"Guys," he groaned out while sitting on one the twin beds. "This searching for clues isn't working out."

Yuuta grunted out, "Of course its working! Do you think the others figured out to search for hidden meanings and codes. Ha I think not." He pulled out a large box and began searching through growling when he found nothing. He sighed turning to look at the other four, who gave him 'we told you so' stare. "Okay, okay, I get it what now?"

Oishi shrugged his shoulders from his spot sitting on the window sill looking outside at the afternoon sun. Yaro closed his eyes in thought, Kai suggested spying on Esterallia and the others to get answers, and Kin just laid on the floor staring up at the ceiling daydreaming.Everyone remained silent until Kin spoke.

"What if we need to look for people instead of things. I mean Cross-san practically gave us the answer. " He sat up and continued. "We couldn't find any type of hidden message or object that seemed out of place. And he did say Uncle Yagari was not the only surprise so-"

"We just need to find people!" Kai shouted cheerfully sitting up smiling but his smile was soon replaced with confusion. "But who do we need to find?"

"Well" Yuuta stood up heading for the door. "That is something we will find out once we find them."

"Then we just have to check for new scents." Oishi said getting up from the window sill and following the others out the door.

"Then we got this in the bag." Yaro said with confidence smirking as he began sniffing the air. "I found one." He started following the scent's trail with his friends following close.

It lead them outside to the court yard, he open his eyes and began searching the area. "The scent stops here in the court yard."

Kai sniffed the air frowning a bit at the scent. 'Sakura blossoms mixed with fresh rain' He turned to Kai, feeling puzzled. "It's spread all over the court yard but..." He trailed off to his thoughts.'Only two people have this scent, could it be...'

"My, my, look at all of you! All big and muy muy strong" Said a voice from the roof.

The five turned to the roof only to gap at the two people standing there. Yuuta palmed his face, his shoulders shaking with laughter that he tried to keep in. Yaro was still gaping along with Oishi, Kin looked torn between dread and happiness while his twin just kept blinking red eyes before shouting and pointing.

"What are you two doing here!"

With the girls and Chris

They were currently having their own reunion in the night dorms, truly taken by surprise at seeing old time friends. Their favorite people and the first to take them in when they needed it the most. None other than the three myth hunters and a certain woman were standing before them smiling at them. The group practically threw themselves at the four hugging and babbling happily.

Ki laughed hugging the girls and Chris close commenting on how much they grew and changed. They told him and the others the same, noticing how much has changed mostly their appearance.

Ji now looked much older, he still had that dark green hair, no grays present, hair still in the same small pony tail, his pine wood colored eyes shined with wisdom and warmth. He still he the same muscular build but now a beard covering his face. His wife Lore, still beautiful just as she is kind, cut her long raven locks, saying they just got in the way, now it was short and choppy but only for a few weeks until she knew she had to cut it again. Their gazes then landed on Ki, the man had matured not just in mind but in appearance his face no longer could be compared to that of a teenager or a girl for that matter, his honey hazel eyes became a bit slitted but still held the same mischief and love. His hair still light green had grown out past his shoulders hanging just below the shoulder blades, pulled back into a high ponytail, a few strands sticking out. Lastly Rai, it seem the man was the only one who didn't seem to have made that much of a change, his hair still short and the ends curled under and over in different directions. Except his snow white hair was no longer white but a fiery red making his icy blue eyes stand out.

Truly the group was surprised to see them again after what happen they truly thought they would never see them again, and even if they did, the group wasn't expecting this. 'A lot can happen in eight years.' was the thought going through the youngsters minds as they gazed at the four in front of them. The seven had no idea how right they are.

Lore's sweet tone brought them back to reality. "There's some people I want you guys to meet." She said with smile turning to the adjoining hallway. "Michi-kun, Michiko-chan come on out so you can meet your aunts and uncle." At her call a little boy no younger than 3 appeared peeking around the corner, gazing at the new comers with curiosity before he disappeared only to get his sister, who held his hand as they walked over to the group.

This surprised the the seven into yelling out, "Twins!" the the twins hid shyly behind their mother, holding onto her legs as the seven stared at them.

"Hai!" She chimed happily patting her children on the head. Michi, the boy had Lore's pale skin and red eyes along with his little sister. Though both inherited their fathers dark green hair but you could see black streaks coming in. Said twins then stared back at them noticing their animal like features. Chris, who was closest knelt in front of the two letting them get a better look at his fox ears and tail. Smiling he let his other four tails appear, startling the two, he then used his tails to tickle their ears and necks, grinning when they squealed in delight before hugging his tails giggling.

"Kawii!" the girls chimed while Lore and the men chuckled at the sight.

"And another is on the way." she stated softy rubbing her belly then smiling as Ji put his hand on top hers while kissing her cheek.

"Along with the mood swings." Ki mumbled receiving a punch from the woman.

"Anyway, it's good to see you all are doing well." Rai said his voice still calm and soft as they remembered it to be.

Esterallia smiled. "Same goes to you all as well." She paused then continued. "Just imagine the look that will be on Yuuta-kun's face when he finds out that you are here." She told them sitting on the couch the other four doing the same sitting across from her.

"Where is Yuuta-kun anyway? I thought he would be with you." Rai stated with a raised eyebrow.

"Oh we split up into teams, and persuaded Chris to join!"

" I was kidnapped and forced!" the kitsune interrupted.

Ki chuckled leaning forward smiling. "Not that! He means are you two," he held two fingers up then pushed them together. "together...Like together, together." He said wiggling his eyebrow.

Esterallia blushed a bright red and began sputtering making the others laugh and started to tease her while giving helpful tips and advice. Esterallia couldn't be any happier when the boys along with Yaro's parents and Kin's and Kai's parents enter the room. Providing the perfect distraction for her.

Ji stood up going over to Yuuta giving him a hug that took the air right out of him, once he was released, Ki gave him hard pats on the back that almost knocked him over. He then was introduced to the toddlers and being told another was on the way. Yuuta congratulated them along with the boys and their parents. Also the parents began introducing themselves to the myth hunters and Lore while the two wolves and kids played with the toddlers.

He shook hands with the four. "I am Xia Vielex," a man spoke he had cream colored skin, black hair that went to his shoulders and blue eyes. His voice was calm as he spoke and smooth. His figure lean and tall, his face sharp. Black and white wings folded neatly against his back. He looked rather intimidating at first glance wearing nothing but black and remaining quiet most of the time but the others knew he was a cool guy.

His was then came up grinning like a cat. "Salute, my name is Sophia Veilex!" The woman then went over to the four kissing them on the cheek explaining it was a way of greeting in her clan. Her voice held happiness and playfulness along with her strong Latin accent. Sophia had red eyes, dark tan skin and and orange hair with black streaks,that was a bob style framing her round face. Standing atop her head are black panther ears, a small hole in her pants for her black sleek tail, and black bat wings appeared from her back, signifying that she was a shadow demon.

Yaro's parents then began introducing themselves. The woman spoke softly. "My name Kiseki Shinju, it's a pleasure to finally meet you." She like any other Kuran had the brown hair, that was braided in to a french braid, her figure was tall yet some what petite, peach skin, but her eyes weren't the usual reddish brown but bright yellow. Kiseki was a distant cousin to Kaname and Shiki.

" Well my name is Gen Shinju." The man grinned as he shook hands with the four and congratulating Lore and Ji. The man had a strong muscled frame, dark brown skin and silver spiky silver hair, and charcoal eyes.

" It's finally nice to meet you all!" Lore said smiling. "I'm Lore Suineja, my husband Ji, his little brother Ki, and his lover Rai Tzu."

"Like wise!" Sophia replied grinning. "Now how do you all know Kaien?"

" Oh when he was still a hunter we did a mission together but we came to know him better through Zero Kiyru." Ji answered.

The eight began talking while the young ones played, eventually the rest of the adults came in greeting and introducing. The rest of the day continued with everyone acquainted with the boys' parent but unknown to them sitting atop one of the window sills, sat a black cat it had ocean blue eyes, it seemed to be smiling as it continued to watch the group. Sitting up it stretched, turning to jump out the window but before it did, the cat gazed at the group one time, a noise similar to a chuckle left its mouth as it jumped from the sill to a tree branch before disappearing into the forest.

"Hai." they said nodding watching as the girls ran over to the boys and their parents ,hugging their friends before turning back to a serious Cross.

"And remember what I told you all, you must tell them before the nine months are up."

"When I was younger my parents wanted nothing to do me with me, I practically had to raise myself... they even tried to kill me."

She stared at her friend with wide eyes. "What? Why?"

He gave a strained smile. "They wanted the source of their pain to end."

"All I want is to keep them safe! To hold them and never be separated from them again!" he yelled at him. " How can you tell me to be calm and just sit back and watch! After they find out they'll hate me!"

"That is something you will have to except."
