Big family, and unwillingly babysat.

Ryner looked at the large expansive castle before him, the grand doors open. He was up, dressed in torn jeans and a T-shirt. Not really caring what he wore, he was up at least. Yawning, he flinched when Ichigo tapped him in the head. Zuma was beside Mujo as the four made their way in. Ryner looked about, not sure what to expect when Ichigo who Ryner was still unsure of, suddenly shouted. "Hey Blue, you busy?"

Zuma chuckled as Ryner blinked and rang out his right ear.

"Blow it out your ass Neikan, I'm not fragile and I don't need a fucking babysitter! I'm more tham capable of getting my ass out of trouble should I happen to get in it!" Saigo hollered down the hall as he walked into the throne room....three days since Kiba took his innocence and put their son in him to be born. "Shit....don't you fucking start with me I'll fire your damn ass...." Saigo growled as his eyes landed on Mujo....being a reaper skilled with his abilities....he would no doubt feel the new life in the room as easily as Saigo himself did. [color=#00ffcc]"I'm going out. Rei will be out in a minute Ichigo."[/color ]Saigo said as he made his way towards the door, knowing he was going to need looser clothes soon. Vampires never carried long and his clothes were form fitting.

Mujo chuckled lowly and licked his lips. Oh this was just too precious for him to pass up. Moving, Mujo stood in front of Saigo, arms crossed. "Right...well...I'm not about to let you go without an escort...Neikan will have my ass if I do..." he said lowly as he looked at Zero. It was really a moot point. Mujo wouldn't give in to anything, and Zero knew that...not that he wouldn't argue with Mujo until he was blue in the face.

Neikan had came out, following behind Saigo nd about to object when his eyes landed on Mujo and he just smirked and stopped, standing a distance away as he tilted his head. "Oh...well...this just got much more interesting...and a lot easier on me..." he mused before he sighed and looked over at Ryner. The interesting part being that Neikan had been looking forward to meeting this one. "Stop that damn yelling...you know damn well he knows you're all here....fuck...it's like you just yell to give me a damn headache..." he grumbled lowly and moved to flop down, rather ungracefully, on his throne to stare coldly at Ichigo with those mix-matched eyes of his.

Saigo's eyebrow twitched. Dam it Mujo I don't need an escort, babysitter, guardian to go fucking clothes shopping. I'm not fragile and going to break! Saigo narrowed his eyes wanting to scream in frustration at the situation that he was in. Mujo and Neikan seemed to teaming up on him now wanting to make sure he had someone within him at all times it seemed. I'm pregnant not dying for crying out loud, woman have been managing this shit since the beginning of fucking time! Saigo said exasperated.

Ryner watched everything just sort of numb inside and wanting to go back to sleep, days were shorter, time passed more quickly, and....the very 'equation's' that made up Saigo, and that Ryner himself shared so heavily all he had to do was look in the mirror. Honestly he could not blame Saigo for not wanting him, whatever that connection was between them....it just made sleeping his days away seem all that much more appealing. He didn't have to worry about anything, hurting anyone, trying to be accepted by anyone if he was asleep, in fact he was still trying to figure out why Mujo wanted him really. Ryner just felt like withdrawing further inside of himself since everything was too much of a bother anyways. He yawned sleep sounded really good right now.

"Whatever, if I was being quiet I wouldn't be me....and maybe I just like screwing the maids who have damn fits that I call him 'Blue'.... Ichigo said shrugging as he looked at Neikan. "Wasn't my intention to give you a headache....but it's fun perk...." Ichigo said smirking as he looked at Neikan before glancing at Ryner as he yawned. "Can't all Ryner you've been up for forty minutes now would it kill you to stay awake! Ichigo said shaking him a bit to wake up.

"What do you have a thing against sleep and seriously....forty minutes no wonder I'm tired.....I could use a bit more.....Ryner said yawning again.
Slowly Saigo turned his head looking at Ryner ....was something wrong was he ill?

Mujo snorted and answered in turn, "Like I give a damn about what women have been doing. You're not fragile, I know that. But I'm not dumb enough to let you go around without someone to help you with your bags either....idiot..." If he were to be truthful, Mujo was just worried about his father. Always worried about him really.

Neikan sighed, an exasperated sound. He loved Ichigo, he did...but...he hated that everyone around him always tried to bust his ass for no other reason than to amuse themselves. "Great...never mind the fact that I was trying to sleep when you screamed down the hall..." he grumbled and looked over at Rei as he came into the room.

"Maybe if you'd go to bed and not stay up all night with your toys...you'd feel better in the mornings..." he mused lowly and smiled at Neikan, who snorted and flipped him off idly, as if nothing he was doing mattered.

Rei chuckled lowly, but his expression grew serious when he turned to look at Ichigo and Mujo, and of course...Ryner. "No...they do have a thing against hiding from them though...." he answered in place of Mujo. "You're being a rather selfish child...locking yourself away when all they want to do is help...it's only making things much more difficult for Mujo...hurting him even though he'd never show it..."

Mujo tisked lowly, but didn't say that Rei, that Aoi was wrong. He couldn't deny it because it was true. Even though he put on this big brave face, every time he found Ryner sleeping...all he wanted to do was cry.

Saigo took a deep breathe and put his hand on Mujo's shoulder. "Idiot, I don't need a fucking escort...but that doesn't mean I mind company either just don't tell me your doing it to babysit my ass in any fashion, you'll piss me the hell off every time." Saigo said as he gave Mujo's shoulder a light affectionate squeeze. Then looked at Rei as he began to speak to Ryner.

Ichigo looked at Neikan. "Hey asshole, if it gives you a headache and you have to come out and yell at me about it then....I get to see you for a bit at least. You guys are all the family I have so excuse me for wanting to see your sorry ass." Ichigo said with a huff. "Ryner, in case you're wondering, this is 'Blue'." Ichigo said nodding.

"Actually his name is Rei, but he certainly doesn't mind Ichigo calling him 'Blue'. The maids however are not so fond of the nickname." Kira said chuckling as he walked in and kissed Rei softly on the lips before walking over and sitting down on Neikan's lap. Rei was dealing with Ryner at the moment.

Ryner looked at Rei noting the fact that Saigo and this one were twins. "Hiding...perhaps I am, it just seems simpler this way. I am still trying to understand why Mujo, Inazuma, and Ichigo seem to want me.....but" Ryner  said lightly. "Who....am I to all of you that you want me.....because when the stigma...goes out of control it erases everything I have no memories....so I don't know why...anyone would want...someone like me" Ryner  said shaking his head.

Mujo just rolled his eyes and put a hand on Zero's. "Call it what you want...I'm still going to be with you..." he told him lowly and let his hand fall back down to his side when he heard Ryner's words. Somewhere deep down, Mujo had known that Ryner was pushing people away by sleeping all the time. Tired or not, he was also putting up a barrier to bar anyone else out of his life.

Neikan snorted and jumped up, shifting into his wolf form and padded over to Ichigo before he just jumped up on him and knocked him down to the floor and stared down at him. "If you wanted to see me, you should have come by long before Mujo decided to come for a visit..." he told him lowly, his tail wagging a little and licked Ichigo's face.

Aoi though, sighed and closed his eyes. "We want you for the same reasons Mujo does...you're a precious child to someone in our family...and we want to be there for you...no matter what you have chosen to think, we want nothing more from you than to be your family and to love you...for you..." he told Ryner lowly before he opened his mix-matched eyes to look at Ryner. Eternally sad eyes, yet they were welcoming and warm, and kind, and understanding. "If it's forgetting that family you're so afraid of...I can give you a way to keep your memories...if it's your powers you're afraid of...don't be...none of us are afraid, so why then should you be?" he mused as he held out his right hand to Ryner.

"Come here Ryner...come here to me and learn something you might never know otherwise..."

Saigo snorted. "Whatever you damn brat." he retorted to Mujo before looking over at Aoi and Ryner . a precious child to someone in the family, almost as if an after thought he put his hand on his stomach....what would Ryner think once he knew?

Ichigo hollared as he was knocked over as Neikan was above him licking his face. "Dam it Neikan!" Ichigo retorted laughing as he in turn ruffled Neikan's fur moving his head trying to avoid getting licked all over and failing.

Ryner paid them half a glance as he looked at Aoi. "You can stop them from erasing everything? My powers I mean the Alpha Stigma. he said lowly before walking towards Aoi. "A precious child to someone here? I....have a family here.....you mean Mujo wanting to adopt me right?" he asked as he closed the distance and took Aoi's offered hand, vampires all around him and yet his instincts would not let him fear them. It just felt natural to be around them.

Mujo just smiled at Zero's words and turned to watch the events unfold.

Neikan though, flopped down on Ichigo and wallowed on him, rubbing his nose on him like a dog trying to get its scent all over it's master after they'd been away for a long time.

Aoi nodded at Ryner's question. "I can give you something as simple as that." It sounded a little prudish, but he knew Ryner would understand. Though at Ryner's other question, he shook his head no. "No child. I mean it like this...let me show you..." he explained and closed his eyes as he took hold of Ryner's hand and opened himself up to Ryner's eyes, to let Ryner learn the truth that Lilith had so wrongfully deprived him of...a life he had been deprived of at birth.

Saigo was suddenly glad he need not breath because he found he would be holding his breath his fingers tensing against his stomach slightly. Would Ryner  hate him now? He'd have the right reborn and he knew what it was Aoi was giving to him in that moment. That Rei, was giving him what he could not remember.

Ichigo laughed and tried pushing up on Neikan as his Uncle seemed determined to make Ingo  jealous by rubbing his scent all over him. The down side he was certain the fox would be determined to pin him down and rob him of the ability to walk.

Ryner  took Aoi's hand and as he did the Alpha Stigma lit up within his eyes. The glowing lines seeing what others would never see, but more then that what Aoi wished to show him. Ryner  saw, saw his connection. Saw his first birth and the way they were making Saigo choke down blood from....a human saw the fever that racked him and kept him crippled the day he was born. The day Ryner  was born. Saw Saigo say a name...his name Ryner  Feruna and the disgusted look on the woman's face....as she called him human a child unable to defend himself and watched as an ill Saigo moved falling to the floor as the woman killed him, hearing the pained heart broken scream of anger as Saigo struggled. He knew the connections now. As Rei showed him everything....tears fell down his face as he also learned of now. That it wasn't that Saigo didn't want him.....that his 'mother' didn't want him. Saigo could not give him his birth right a vampire born human and that, that woman's threat wasn't over even though she was dead. Her followers would hurt him. There was so much more that Ryner  learned everything that Rei wished to show him......to them, to Saigo he was not cursed but his precious son...,he could not keep, but....gave him the blessings of his power. Ryner  turned his head looking at Saigo. He had sent Mujo because while he was sworn to do his job regardless of who it was, Mujo was sworn to reap souls unless he deemed that life with saving and granting further life. Because Mujo would understand what Saigo could not say, why he was sent. 'Sai...no...my mother blames....himself for it for what that woman did... Ryner  thought realizing with sudden deep sadness that....Saigo hated himself the most for not being able to save him then...,and having to give the order now. 'He....hasn't ever forgiven himself....it wasn't his fault.....they were making him sick....it wasn't....I don't blame him...he...wants me to stay with Mujo....because I'll be safe there....' Ryner  thought sadly as he looked over at Saigo and Mujo.

Mujo just sighed and closed his eyes. There it was. That light of realization that he had been waiting patiently to see on Ryner's face. Now he could relax a little knowing that Ryner knew who he was, and why he was here.

Neikan had paused, laying on Ichigo and panting as he looked over at Rei, at Aoi as he showed Ryner the truth. His tail still wagged, thumping lightly on the floor as he waited ever so patiently for his brother and his nephew to finish sharing their thoughts.

Aoi nodded at Ryner, gazing at him with those eternally sad eyes of his. 'As my brother, Saigo bears the burden of our mother...she was cruel and constantly sought to control us no matter what the cost...he's angry with her, and angry with himself because he had been lured and forced into her clutches...Like my brothers and myself, Saigo, in a way, is cursed to blame himself when something terrible happens that he can't stop...however, he is working feverishly to give you what you lost those centuries ago...he wants to let you know your family, to meet them all...even those who are nothing more than guards...' he explained lowly, answering Ryner's thoughts before he released Ryner's hand and looked down at him and smiled.

"Speaking of guards...I think they'll be coming through here shortly..." he mused as he turned his mix-matched gaze to the large wooden doors.

Ryner looked up at Aoi nodding as a black dog ran in by another on the first growling ignoring Rei as he moved to pounce Ryner not liking the human scent only to have the second slam forcefully into it sending them both harmless through the air to slam into the floor slidding the one with the melted 'maw' snapping and growling at the first who laid down backing up.

The first whined ears going flat. "I....just wanted to play with the boy a bit.....Yasei grumbled sulking never mind Ryner was human and Yasei played rough.

Jigoku growled and sighed laying down. "And you remember to not use fang and claw? That he is human and you could accidently maim him Yasei?" Jigoku said looking at the pup who really had just been highly excited and wanting to play with the boy.

Yasei's ears flattened. "I'd try to remember Jigoku....I didn't want to hurt him."Yasei sighed and shifted on the floor laying his head on his paws. "I like his scent.....it reminds me of Kanari...good and pure for a human child."

Jigoku sighed as he shifted and laid his head on top of Yasei's head a comforting gesture. He knew Yasei would not mean to but would get carried away and accidently hurt him which would devistate then pup worse then any punishment Kyoki would visit unto them.

Tai came out smiling and nodding part of the Inu clan as well. "Dad is dealing with her at the moment he'll be here in the next moment or two."

Ryner looked at them before looking at Aoi. Then looking at the hall the teen left part of him wanted to walk over and find out if Jigoku's fur was as velvety soft as it looked. He wasn't afraid. He knew and understood why now. The pentagrams still flowing in his eyes as he looked at the hall....something large was coming now that he he was using the Alpha Stigma and it wasn't just learning everything on it's own waiting to be used he blinked. Wondering who or what was coming towards them now.

He walked in, moving at his own pace. Always his own pace. No one dared rush him, dared ask him to be more considerate. Even Rei didn't care how long he took so long he got it done. His eyes, as always, blindfolded and hidden from the world. The collar sat loosely around his neck as the broken chain bounced against his chest as he walked. Hands in his pockets, no one could tell if he was angry or calm, or somewhere in between. He was, as always, unreadable.

He had spent thirty minutes arguing with that brat Ayame. Wife, daughter, it didn't concern him. She had spent thirty minutes arguing with him and it had pissed him off. "I don't care if you had intended to play with him or not...you're not touching him...you hear me Yasei?" he told him lowly, his voice flat and cold. He was tired, hadn't slept in a long time and his was, as always anxious.

Human form wasn't as comfortable to him, but he was tired and didn't feel like shifting back and forth too much. If he needed to shift, he would...but for now...he came to a stop just at the center of the room, distancing himself from everyone, even his family and his head turned directly towards Ryner. "Yo...kid...come here..."

Rei had just sighed and put his hands in his pockets while Neikan huffed and looked over at Kyoki warily. Kyoki was in a bad mood...if Ryner did one wrong thing...Kyoki would snap.

Mujo though, sighed and closed his eyes. This was nothing to be so worried about. Kyoki didn't pose no real threat to Ryner. Mujo was the only other one besides Rei who was the least bit unconcerned about Kyoki wanting Ryner to get up close and personal with him.

Yasei nodded as he looked at his elder brother. " I understand." Yasei said as he laid there.

Saigo watched relaxing Kyoki arrived and Ryner looked relaxed.

Ryner walked up to Kyoki looking at him as the Alpha Stigma was still active. "Hmm, interesting, your a really big and powerful dog." Ryner said as he stopped before Kyoki. Although he was standing there before a vampire, he could see his true form. What he was at least equation wise. "Impressive." he said looking at Kyoki.

Rei just went over and sat down in his throne. He wasn't worried, and neither was Saigo or Mujo. It was safe to relax now. Kyoki wasn't dumb enough to attack Ryner with him sitting only a step away.

Kyoki chuckled lowly as he tilted his head at Ryner's words. "Oh? And what is it that you find so impressive about me? You've not even seen the real thing up close just yet...nor do you even know me....yet you praise me..." he mused lowly, his voice obviously tired and scratchy. He had yelled at the brat too much. Had slept less and less recently. He was restless and he couldn't understand why just yet.

Neikan though, stayed closer, not too happy about Rei's sudden calmness. He wasn't himself lately. Something kept seeming off, more and more Rei became a different face to Neikan. What was it that his brother was thinking?

Saigo was indeed relaxed. Ironically enough he didn't worry at all about Kyoki hurting Ryner even if they weren't all in the room. Ryner was an honest boy. Which was something that Kyoki repected .

Ryner looked at Kyoki. "Honestly....everything. The form you are currently taking changes how you truly appear. But...in your true form there is power and agility. Incredible strength so much so, that the echoes of the powers you actually possses have not been needed to be used. Your body has been fine tuned to be you power as I said. Your impressive. To be able obtain the standing and presence you have by skill...without using what everyone calls power." Ryner answered him as the pentagrams faded leaving nothing behind but the line work within his iris's. He yawned and sighed softly it took a lot out of him to use the Alpha Stigma even for short periods of time.

Kyoki snorted but brought a hand out of his pocket and up to ruffle Ryner's hair. "you're ok kid..." he mused lowly before he took his hand off Ryner's head and put it back in his pocket. Baggy clothes as usual, and rather unkempt hair. Kyoki indeed looked wild, but as others said, that was all part of who he was.

"Just don't go kissing my ass...I don't need anyone else to do that these days..." he told him and tilted his head towards Rei for a few moments. It had been only a few seconds, but he had sensed something different about him, like he had been a different person for only a few seconds. It had made him uneasy and he suddenly felt uncomfortable being in his human form.

Looking back at Ryner, he asked lowly, "Hey kid, wanna see the real thing?"

Mujo had seen it, Kyoki suddenly got tense for some reason, but he didn't understand why. There was nothing wrong...was there? He glanced about the room at everyone else, but no one else seemed to have noticed. Just what the hell was starting to go down?

Ryner  looked at him and shrugged. "I'll try not to.... he said in reference to the ass kissing then nodded. "Yeah, I'd like to see your true form." Ryner  said as he looked at Kyoki certain that the equations didn't do this on justice.

Saigo noted that something caught Mujo's attention but at the same token he wasn't sure what. But it was clear to him that Kyoki liked Ryner's honesty.

Ichigo looked over from where he was pinned beneath Neikan. Noting the tension in him and that Jigoku and Yasei were watching there brother as if waiting for signals. Kira sat in his throne where he had gone shortly after coming into the room.
