Author's Note: You MAY notice that I am incorporating books/movies with my Arashi Fics. PAY NO HEED to IT! It's all in your head! (jk) I've always loved the Harry Potter Series. But the HP fandom + Arashi are mostly revolved around Jun, while I have nothing against Jun (by right, it should be him)--my ichiban will always be Sho. So my fics are always Sho-centric. ;D None of you are complaining anyway. So without further ado, here's the fic.

We'll Meet Again
Today was a Monday.
Monday's were the days they came to visit. They always, always come on a Monday.
And Monday evenings, he always came for a few minutes. Always wearing that sleepy smile and that half lidded eyes, Sho thought it made him extremely handsome. If it weren't for the fact he was a ghost, Sho thinks it fits him anyway.
But today is Monday Morning not evening, they would be here - not him. So he'd wait, because seeing him was always, always a pleasure.
He stared at nothing in particular when they came closer. He could hear their footsteps outside his room, they were arguing again today, it seems. They always argue, he mused, always arguing. But he ignored their voices.
"Sho-chan..." a voice greeted him at the far right, meaning they already entered his room. Sho didn't respond, he always, always never responds. An impatient sigh was heard--this belonged to someone else (and always the same person who came every Monday). Suddenly, someone crossed the space between the bed and the wall he was staring at. He blinked a few times and followed the movement until the said person sat at the chair to the left of his bed. This face was also familiar. Then again, they were all familiar. These 3 faces always came here always, always on Monday Mornings.
It just sucked that everyday was a Monday.
He hated being disrupted, but they were friendly and nice and they took REALLY good care of him. His parents' taught him to be nice to friendly people. So he smiled.
"Hello~" he greeted the person who had moved to his left. This Mr. Yellow Man, who merely grunted at his greeting and took hold of his hand. Sho liked Mr. Yellow Man, he was fun to be with. They shared the same troubled soul and sense of humor.
He never really could remember their names, but that was okay. He could still them apart, they don't seem to mind. Not with Mr. Yellow Man's amused eyes, he always, always liked Mr. Yellow Man's smile. It reminded him so much of the sun.
He always, always had a very pretty smile, but today, he was frowning. He didn't like Mr. Yellow Man's frown. It looked really painful. So Sho frowned at his expression by default. He didn't like it when he frowned, he always, always hated it when he frowned. Mr. Yellow Man sighed heavily and released his hand and leaned away.
His eyes widened a bit in hurt. Did he do something wrong today?
He was wearing his smile when he greeted them, didn't he?
Were they tired of him? He wore back his smile when Mr. Yellow Man's eyes widened in guilt and hugged him. Mr. Yellow Manalso always, always gave very nice hugs.
He really liked Mr. Yellow Man.
But not as much as him.

Ninomiya Kazunari didn't know what happened exactly that night. All he knew was that Sho was in labour and usually, that meant uncontrolled magic would run rampant around the house. Which spelled that someone could find them and which would make them very vulnerable, not with someone in labour.
Aiba promised that his wards were going to hold, but they all should've known that Sho's magic uncontrolled and rampant was the strongest among all of them.
The wards broke.
The exact same moment the baby cried, not even 5 minutes later, they were found.
They couldn't exactly leave. They couldn't risk moving Sho & his child so soon after delivery. He wouldn't dare it. Jun (his wonderful Healer-Partner) wouldn't dare it. Aiba (the idiotic Curse-Breaker) wouldn't dare it. So most certainly, Satoshi - Sho's partner & the Father- would certainly never dare it.
So they all had no choice, they were going to fight them out until Aiba could repair the Wards.
It was messy business hiding one of the rare Wizards in the world. It was even harder when said rare wizard is the grandson of the Prime Minister of
Magic of Japan.
He cursed the day Sho was born as a man who could birth. Damn him and his genetics.
He sent one curse after another, not bothering with if they died or were incapacited. They certainly wanted him dead, from the Killing Curses they've been throwing at him. He cursed his luck when he was momentarily thrown back at a curse he deflected. 'Blasting Curses, screw them!' he cursed inwardly and growled as he saw 5 men advance.
They are all idiots. "Satoshi!" he called. The next moment, a tan (extremely) stood behind them and they all struck dead with one flick of his wand--except for one who managed to escape. "SHIT!" he cursed, and a few more colorful ones in different languages. "Ohno! Don't just stand there! They're after Sho and your brat!"
It took a long second for him to understand that and his eyes widened and soon he ran up towards their joint room. Together, they saw the bastard blast the door open and they a large screech and Jun's voice and the baby cries.
Satoshi reached the room far sooner than he (seeing as he was still waiting for the magic to work--times like this he hated how it takes so slow for it to work properly).
"Shitshitshitshit--" Nino cursed as he temporarily reversed time on his leg, consequences be damned. He could not for the love of God remember the charms for healing. He ran up as soon as the leg looked standable on, ignoring the fact it was still trying to repair the damaged muscles and skin. He'll deal with the consequences after everything.
He paused up the stairs when he heard Sho's screams and Satoshi's pleading then his pained screeches accompanied unendingly with Sho's.
"Nonononononononononononono--" he whispered in a mantra as he reached up and saw the room in disarray. He saw Jun on the other side of the
room, Nino couldn't see the wound but there was so much blood running down his face. He nearly panicked if it wasn't for a flash of spell headed his way.
Cursing, he tumbled down and hissed when the spell on his leg ruptured, causing more damage than before. But had no time to deal with the pain like he did before since a well cast curse was headed his way. He rolled over and growled. "Stop it, you brat!" he yelled at the man, no boy, who still held Sho in a curse. "He's your brother!"
The boy looked at him with such hate, he gasped. There was tears in his eyes and yelled. "He's not my brother! My brother would've listened to our
Grandfather and stayed home! My brother would have thought of the clan before he abandoned us! He would've stayed and done his duty, like he did in the past!" Shu yelled. "This isn't my brother! This is a traitor! And I was ordered for the traitor to be returned home immediately and dispose of any... off-springs he would have had with unwanted blood."
Nino's eyes widened and his usual brown eyes dilated to a startling gold hue in anger. "You DARE harm a Blood Kin you BRAT?!"
Shu growled. "I HAVE to! It was his orders!" His tears overflowing. "I have NO CHOICE!"
Nino stood up, his magic swirled around him, making it easy to ignore the pain. "You have a choice everyone has a choice."
"Mai's pregnant?" Sho's voice croaked softly, able to finally speak since Shu stopped the curse. "She's pregnant???"
Shu spat at him. "No doubt trying to follow your footsteps! She's being held captive in her own home!" he told them. "I had to do this! Or else our part of the clan with suffer, nii-san." He looked up and saw the naked baby a few feet away from them and raised his wand. "I'm sorry, but I have to!"
Sho's mouth opened in a silent scream, powerless to do anything seeing as he was unable to move. Nino couldn't raise his wand in time to stop the curse, but a blur moved all over a sudden. Covering the baby, and throwing a curse back--a mind altering spell, missing hitting Sho who screeched.
For one whole minute, Nino thought with fear that Jun decided to play hero and his heart broke, but his beloved's body was still by the wall, unmoving.
He breathed shakily, but his eyes widened in shock when he saw who was drapped over the baby, who was still crying much too loudly.
"Satoshi..." he whispered. His eyes glared at the young man who looked at Sho's beloved in shock, clearly not expecting that. Righteous anger filled
Nino as he saw Shu flick his wand and Ohno's body flew to a corner of the room. He could see the spell the man was about to use, he reacted quickly.
"Crucio." he cast and watched the boy who looked so similar to his brother be brought done to his knees.
"You DESTROYED out family, boy." he hissed, his golden eyes he had recieved from his kitsune mother glowed in power. "But I'm not like your family,
I won't kill you nor will I destroy your clan, but I will destroy you to the point that you will be a constant remind of what they tried to destroy."
"Crucio." Nino whispered and watched the boy fall into madness. He could hear Aiba climb the stairs in panic, he could sense Jun waking, he could
feel Sho's ragged breathing, he could tell the baby was still crying, but he didn't stop-not like how Satoshi's life had. He didn't stop until he saw Sho's brother sanity leaving, he didn't stop.
Because their family was no longer complete. So he didn't stop.
++++
"Ignore Nino, Sho." a voice instructed. Sho turned to him with a smile. Ah... It was Mr. Violet talking to him this time.
"Okay." he replied, cheerfully. He didn't want to be in Mr. Violet's bad mood. Plus he liked Mr. Violet's voice, it had a very soothing effect on him, but Mr. Violet didn't talk much.
He liked it when Mr. Violet would scold him, because that meant he'd keep talking and talking and talking. He knows its weird, but he liked hearing him talk, always and always.
He knows that Mr. Violet was like Mrs. Green, who took care of him everyday. His job was to Cure pure who was sick, but they were slightly different. Mr. Violet Cured sick people, Mrs. Green took care of people like him.
Sho wondered why though. He was perfectly okay. He wasn't sick, so why did she have to care for him?
"Sho?" Mr. Violet called that name. Sho smiled back at him. Oops... his smile said. Was Sho his name? They make it sound like it. So it must be his name. He smiled.
It was such a pretty name.
What did the name mean again? Sho outwardly frowned, not noticing that he was. His friends exchanged glances. Mr. Violet sighed, it was so tiring to get Sho's attention sometimes.
"Flight!" Sho exclaimed all of a sudden. Mr. Violet look startled and frowned. "What?"
Sho looked at him sheepishly. "Sho. It means Flight." he told him with a smile. They all blinked. This was the first time they saw him acknowledge his name. Could it mean he was really getting better?
"Yes. Your name means Flight. But what about it?" Mr. Violet asked him. Sho shrugged. "It seemed important to know." he replied with a pout. Mr. Yellow Man laughed. "I'm sure it is, Sho." He told him while he squeezed his hand. Sho beamed at him, andMr. Violet sighed. He was never going to win against Mr. Yellow Man.
"Sho, please listen to me." Sho turned back to him with a pleased smile. "I'm always listening to you, didn't you know?" he told Mr. Violet, who turned into a lovely shade of pink. Mr. Yellow Man and another giggled. Mr. Violet coughed into his hand awkwardly.
"Yes, well...okay then. " he retorted, knowing it sounded weak, as per the snickers of his lover. He glared at him but the other just cocked his eyebrow in amusement. "Sho..." he began, noticing he had his full attention. "We're bringing someone important today..."
Sho's eyes looked curious, but he didn't disturb. So, Mr. Violet continued. "He's someone very important to us and...to you."
Sho blinked and smiled. "Is it those people behind the door?" They all blinked their shock and nodded. "Y-yes." They had forgotten that one of Sho's abilities was to see Magical Aura. "He's a little tiny isn't he?" Sho asked, tilting his head in confusion.
"He's young, Sho-chan." Mr. Yellow Man told him. "And he takes off his father." Sho nodded slowly, clearly not understanding.
"Why is he here then?" Sho asked with a small smile. "I've nothing to offer." Mr. Violet frowned. "Because..."
Sho didn't like it when Mr. Violet couldn't reply. It meant he said something wrong. He didn't like it when he did something wrong.
He liked Mr. Violet. He liked him a lot.
But he didn't like Mr. Violet as much as he liked him.
++++
The first thing Matsumoto Jun saw was Aiba's concerned green eyes staring at him with anxiety. He gave a groan at the throbbing pain on his head. It felt like he fought with a wall and lost. Which he already experienced in the past, so yes, he knew.
He quickly surveyed the room, ignoring Aiba's silent pleas to heal himself. He was a God damn Healer and he was going to definitely HEAL his charges before himself and paused. It would do no good if he died before he could heal them all. So he did a diagnostic spell on himself and sighed in relief. His wounds weren't fatal, yet. He barked at Aiba to get a Blood Replenishing Potion and a Pepper-Up Potion. Aiba beamed at him and ran out.
He continued his survey and saw Sho's baby brother on the floor blubbering in pain--clearly insane. Jun winced at he knew who exactly did that. He trailed his eyes around, trying to find the others, not trusting himself to get up just yet.
His eyes widened at the damage that was extended in the room. He then stiffened when he heard sobs at the far end of the room. How could he not have noticed that before. He gave a small gasp when he saw what had happened.
Nino was sobbing over Satoshi's body. Sho's head was craddled on his lap and the babe on his arm--it was almost as if he was afraid of separating the new family. "That brat" Nino spat, "was under orders to bring back Sho and kill 'unwanted blood'." Jun stared at him as rambled on.
"The kid KILLED Satoshi! And now something's wrong with Sho-chan! I don't know what!" he chocked, "I'm crap at Healing Spells and he was bleeding out!"
Jun tried standing, quickly finding out there was nothing wrong with his legs, but his head and his chest hurt like hell. He stood up anyway and walked slowly towards his lover. "I had to do something, because there is NO way I trust Aiba with healing! So I sang!" he croaked. "I SANG, Jun! I sang!"
Jun held him from behind and gently pulled him backward. "I'm sure you sang just fine." he told him. Nino sobbed on his chest while still cradling the baby who's eyes were bright blue on the left and red on the right. He was already showing signs that of growing up to look like his father despite his eye color. "Songs aren't meant to be used like that! It's Dark Magic, Jun! I'm not so sure if it worked right! I could've made it worse!" He yelled.
"But Sho's alive." He pointed out.
Nino shook his head. "But there's still something wrong with him! And I can't sing to him again without having Magic affect his own!"
Jun rubbed his small back and felt his own tears fall. "It'll be fine. I'm sure Sho will get better, Sho's Magic was always better at Self Preservation."
Nino snorted. "With a family like his, it had to be."
Jun didn't comment and saw at the corner of his eye that Aiba had returned, with him was his wife. He nodded for them to come in.
"But we're his family now, and we'll help him get better." he told Nino and locking eyes with both Aiba and Becky. "We'll all get better. I promise"
++++
Sho continued to stare at them with bright curiousity. And apparently, the last person couldn't hold himself anymore. "Sho-chan!" Sho turned to look at him with a smile, still looking at Mr. Violet with a hint of sadness.
"This person is family!" he exclaimed. Sho looked interested right away, if that bright smile was any indication. "Family?" he asked The Green Man. The Green Man nodded enthusiastically. "He's family, and he's been dying to meet you quite sometime now!"
Sho smiled. "Family..." he repeated whistfully. He blinked at looked at them as if for the first time. "Are you family?" He never really considered that before. He just knew they came ever Monday Morning and were gone when the sky grew dark. Mrs. Green was always there when they weren't, just to check up on him and made sure he ate.
He knew The Green Man and Mrs. Green were connected together because of the Gold String attached to both their pinkies. He wondered if it was any different from the Red Strings attached to Mr. Violet & Mr. Yellow Man. Does that mean they were together too? Fated?
He looked at his right hand and saw the same Red Thread but it was broken and faded at the end. Did this mean anything? He felt sad. The Red String seemed really important. He blinked when The Green Man's hand was waved in front of his eyes. He looked at him with a tilt of his head.
The Green Man pouted at him. "Don't ignore me~" Sho frowned. "I wasn't." The Green Man looked at him with a disappointed look. "Right~" he said. Sho didn't want to argue, so he just folded his arms and huffed.
Mr. Yellow Man laughed. "You got Sho-chan mad, Aiba!" The Green Man gasped. "Wait a second! I should be the one who's mad!" he roared. "That's not fair!"
The other just laughed harder. "Why do you have to keep picking on me!?" The Green Man cried. Mr. Yellow Man shrugged. "Because you're easy to bully?"
Sho watched their interaction with a smile, but instinctively knew when to but in when things were getting lethal. He knew Mr. Violet was watching him. He was always watching, Sho thought. The thought made him flush, but now, he's gotten so used to it. He caught his eye and smiled. Mr. Violet flushed and looked away. Sho grinned.
It was so easy to fluster Mr. Violet. Apparently, Mr. Yellow Man knew that too because he was flashing him a bright smile.
He really loved it when Mr. Yellow Man smiled at him.
"You two are ignoring me again!" The Green Man whined. All three of them laughed.
Mrs Green made a sound. "Masaki, dear, shut up."
All four turned quickly to the woman who just entered. Mrs. Green flashed Sho a smile. "Are you ready to meet him?"
Sho blinked and turned to The Green Man, who smiled at him in encouragement. He smiled back at Mrs. Green. "Yes, ma'am."
He liked The Green Man. He also liked his wife; Mrs. Green.
He liked them, so he was going to trust them.
He liked them.
But he liked him more, always and always.
++++
Aiba Masaki just finished repairing the wards around the Mitsui Manor (a parting gift Sho's mother gave them when they fled). It was a hard task, the wards around it were old. So old in fact, that he barely knew what the runes in them were. He nearly panicked until he saw a pattern. From there, he was able to fix it, adding extra protection.
Just as he was finishing it up, he heard screams and was immediately alert. "BECKY!" he cried out as he came back up to the surface. His wife was there, her face pale and but seemingly alright. There were bodies around the area and he knew what she had done. "It's okay. I understand what you had to do." he told her soothingly. She nodded tersely and looked him in the eye.
"I heard Sho's screams a while back." she told him. "We have to go see whats going on. Heaven forbid." Aiba gasped and grabbed her hand and together they ran back inside the manor.
He ran ahead of her as she stopped to get rid of the bodies that were pilling at the Manor's landing with slight distaste. He ran up yelling, "Nino! Riida! Jun! Sho!"
No response. He was getting really scared.
When he got in, he panicked and then saw the Birthing Room.
He saw Sho's younger brother screaming and screaming and screaming, without absolute end. He instantly knew what Nino was doing. His heart dropped to his stomach.
He knew what happened when he saw Sho's still body, bleeding and seeing Satoshi on the far end of the room not breathing. The baby just kept crying and he saw Jun crumpled on the wall, a large gash on his head--out of view. He could see Nino's eyes had turned into slits and were gleaming gold just like his mother; a pure Kitsune.
"Nino!" Aiba cried. Nino didn't show any indication that he had heard him, but he saw tears were flowing off his face. He approached his friend with caution. "Kazu...enough." he spoke, touching the others arm. Nino hissed at turned to him and his eyes turned back to what it once was. "Masaki..." he choked and crumbled into his arms.
"Oh-chan is dead." he whimpered. "He's dead!" Aiba held back his sob. "I know..."
"He's DEAD!" Nino roared, "All because of that BRAT!"
Again, Aiba just nodded. "Nino...you should go take a look at Sho. He looks real bad, I'll go wake Jun."
Nino stumbled towards Sho and looked panicked. But he knew he could do it. So Aiba turned to Jun and surveyed his wounds and assessed them before he brought him back. He wanted to know what Potions to get him after he did wake up.
Suddenly, he heard Nino sing. Aiba stopped and turned back to Nino. It was rare for Nino to use his voice as a medium for magic. Only Riida ever used his voice with comfort, Nino came second.
Voice (or rather Song) Magic was a hard form of magic to control and was considered Dark. But there was no problem with using Dark Magic in Japan, everyone was treated equal here. It was more of the fact that Voice Magic was hard to control since you were literally coaxing Magic to do what you want to do and then there was the wording you had to use.
You had to make sure that there were no loopholes in the magic you weaved.
Nino must've been desperate with using such magic. After he was done, Nino looked at Aiba. Aiba came closer.
"Help me carry Sho to Satoshi." Nino asked, picking up the baby who immediately stopped crying when he was held, curling up at the warmth.
Aiba didn't say anything, his happy-go-lucky nature gone with the recent tragedy. He carried Sho to where Satoshi laid crumbled and felt his tears spill.
Nino stood behind and suddenly stumbled down. "Go to Jun." he croaked.
Aiba looked at Nino and saw his left leg was bleeding, but refrained from commenting knowing that Nino needed to grieve. He nodded quickly and woke Jun. After making sure Jun was going to heal himself he left to get the appropriate Potions. He met his wife who had completely removed the corpses from his home.
"Who died?" was her first question, her eyes already wet from crying. Aiba sobbed and held her close. "Oh-chan's gone." She gasped. "That's so not fair." He nodded and together they went to the Potions Cabinet and pulled half a dozen Potions needed for Jun. Becky grabbing a few others, just basic. They could summon the others if they need any other complicated Potions.
"Come. Jun needs his family complete right now." She told him. He nodded, still crying. If this was any other day, she would've scolded him for this, but today, she let him cry.
Because today their little dysfunctional family lost one their own.
But they'll get better.
Someday...

Sho looked at the little boy who entered the room with slight awe. The boy was smiling at him just like he was and he KNEW immediately who it was.
He opened his arms and the little boy grinned at him and immediately dashed to him.
He heard Mr. Violet give a small chuckle. "Apparently looks like his father, but has his mother's speed." he told Mr. Yellow Man who laughed more openly in agreement. He ignored them in favour of looking at this little boy.
"Hello." Sho greeted. The little boy smiled back and greeted him. "Hello mama."
They all stiffen in response but Sho grinned. "Are you Satoshi?" Sho asked, ignoring their shocked faces. The little boy frowned. "No... I'm Shotarou." he told him. Sho frowned but grinned quickly. "Oh"
The little--no, Shotarou looked at him unnervingly, just like him.
Mrs. Green suddenly dragged all the male in the room. Sho and Shotarou blinked as she pulled them from the room. "We should let them reconnect in peace, yes?" she told them and winked the two males in the room. When the door shut, they turned to each other and laughed.
'Sho...' a voice brought the attention to the wall Sho was staring at earlier. Sho's face lit up quickly. "Hello!" he greeted, as always, always. "You're early today."
The man smiled and turned to Shotarou. 'My son...' Shotarou looked at him with glassy eyes and smiled widely. "Papa?"
'Shotarou...' he repeated, he turned to Sho. 'We need to go, Sho.'
Sho frowned and looked at his son. "Do we have to? I've just met him."
He frowned and shook his head in sadness. 'It's time. I'm sorry.' He replied and stepped closer. Shotarou's eyes widened.
"No!" he cried softly and held on to Sho tightly. "I've finally talked to him!"
He smiled softly and let his hand rest on Shotarou's head. 'I'm sorry, but you'll meet us again...'
Shotarou looked up, his eyes glazed in tears. "Promise?"
He nodded softly. 'Yes. But not as your parents, you'll know.'
Sho frowned as he suddenly felt very tired and he saw his little Red String was almost nonexistent. Was this important? But for now, he didn't really care, he was very sleepy.
"Mama..." Shotarou called out, beside him. He made a noncommental sound. "I love you."
Sho smiled. "I love you too. I love the others too. They're family. I love my family"
Shotarou giggled. "Arashi is family" Sho smiled. He smiled. Shotarou smiled but his tears fell slowly as he saw Sho close his eyes and he woke no more.
"Good bye, Mama."
'Good bye...'
++++
Sakurai Shotarou sighed as he watched his great grandson tumble in the park with ease. He was such a kutz and he had no idea why. Sakurai Satoru was growing up to become a klutz, and that would be very dangerous combination, especially since he was showing signs that he had a very large magical core.
He sighed. That was part of it. That and the fact that his father's soul was in his great grandson. Technically, he was no longer he was his father. But still they kept their promise (even if his mother wasn't sane enough to have really made it).
"Ah!" Some one screamed when Satoru threw the ball a little too far and someone tripped to avoid it. Shotarou groaned at his Uncle. "Uncle Kazunari!" he cried. Nino snickered and moved with his "great nephew".
"Sorry!" Satoru cried as he approached the fallen girl. His bright blue eyes deep in regret.
"Mou~" she cried as she accepted his hand. "Mama's not going to be happy with my dress ruined." She looked up and gave a gasp. As did Satoru.
Shotarou and Nino moved forward. Recognition quickly forming in their eyes.
"Ah..." Nino commented, limping forward (his old wound never did heal right). "The past is moving forward."
Shotarou couldn't help but agree. The girl was a pretty little thing, but it was her eyes that made him pause. Those bright red eyes reminded him so much of his mother. "Mama..."
Nino smacked him on the head. "No longer your mother, brat." Shotarou gave a wry smile. "Of course..."
"I'm Sakurai Satoru." he introduced himself. "I'm Mitsui Yuki." She introduced. They smiled at each other shyly before Nino decided to be mean.
"Satoru! Let's go home!"
Shotarou glared at his only living uncle. Startled, Satoru ran back to them while Yuki watched with a smile. Suddenly, a little fox ran towards her and
Shotarou turned to face his uncle.
"You did not!" he hissed. Nino merely smirked. "Like I said, the past is moving forward."
He sighed as the child moved forward. "How is this happening?" Nino shrugged. "All is possible with Magic!" Shotarou rolled his eyes and ignored his great grandson's curious looks.

Author's Note: You MAY notice that I am incorporating books/movies with my Arashi Fics. PAY NO HEED to IT! It's all in your head! (jk) I've always loved the Harry Potter Series. But the HP fandom + Arashi are mostly revolved around Jun, while I have nothing against Jun (by right, it should be him)--my ichiban will always be Sho. So my fics are always Sho-centric. ;D None of you are complaining anyway. So without further ado, here's the fic.

We'll Meet Again
Today was a Monday.
Monday's were the days they came to visit. They always, always come on a Monday.
And Monday evenings, he always came for a few minutes. Always wearing that sleepy smile and that half lidded eyes, Sho thought it made him extremely handsome. If it weren't for the fact he was a ghost, Sho thinks it fits him anyway.
But today is Monday Morning not evening, they would be here - not him. So he'd wait, because seeing him was always, always a pleasure.
He stared at nothing in particular when they came closer. He could hear their footsteps outside his room, they were arguing again today, it seems. They always argue, he mused, always arguing. But he ignored their voices.
"Sho-chan..." a voice greeted him at the far right, meaning they already entered his room. Sho didn't respond, he always, always never responds. An impatient sigh was heard--this belonged to someone else (and always the same person who came every Monday). Suddenly, someone crossed the space between the bed and the wall he was staring at. He blinked a few times and followed the movement until the said person sat at the chair to the left of his bed. This face was also familiar. Then again, they were all familiar. These 3 faces always came here always, always on Monday Mornings.
It just sucked that everyday was a Monday.
He hated being disrupted, but they were friendly and nice and they took REALLY good care of him. His parents' taught him to be nice to friendly people. So he smiled.
"Hello~" he greeted the person who had moved to his left. This Mr. Yellow Man, who merely grunted at his greeting and took hold of his hand. Sho liked Mr. Yellow Man, he was fun to be with. They shared the same troubled soul and sense of humor.
He never really could remember their names, but that was okay. He could still them apart, they don't seem to mind. Not with Mr. Yellow Man's amused eyes, he always, always liked Mr. Yellow Man's smile. It reminded him so much of the sun.
He always, always had a very pretty smile, but today, he was frowning. He didn't like Mr. Yellow Man's frown. It looked really painful. So Sho frowned at his expression by default. He didn't like it when he frowned, he always, always hated it when he frowned. Mr. Yellow Man sighed heavily and released his hand and leaned away.
His eyes widened a bit in hurt. Did he do something wrong today?
He was wearing his smile when he greeted them, didn't he?
Were they tired of him? He wore back his smile when Mr. Yellow Man's eyes widened in guilt and hugged him. Mr. Yellow Manalso always, always gave very nice hugs.
He really liked Mr. Yellow Man.
But not as much as him.

Ninomiya Kazunari didn't know what happened exactly that night. All he knew was that Sho was in labour and usually, that meant uncontrolled magic would run rampant around the house. Which spelled that someone could find them and which would make them very vulnerable, not with someone in labour.
Aiba promised that his wards were going to hold, but they all should've known that Sho's magic uncontrolled and rampant was the strongest among all of them.
The wards broke.
The exact same moment the baby cried, not even 5 minutes later, they were found.
They couldn't exactly leave. They couldn't risk moving Sho & his child so soon after delivery. He wouldn't dare it. Jun (his wonderful Healer-Partner) wouldn't dare it. Aiba (the idiotic Curse-Breaker) wouldn't dare it. So most certainly, Satoshi - Sho's partner & the Father- would certainly never dare it.
So they all had no choice, they were going to fight them out until Aiba could repair the Wards.
It was messy business hiding one of the rare Wizards in the world. It was even harder when said rare wizard is the grandson of the Prime Minister of
Magic of Japan.
He cursed the day Sho was born as a man who could birth. Damn him and his genetics.
He sent one curse after another, not bothering with if they died or were incapacited. They certainly wanted him dead, from the Killing Curses they've been throwing at him. He cursed his luck when he was momentarily thrown back at a curse he deflected. 'Blasting Curses, screw them!' he cursed inwardly and growled as he saw 5 men advance.
They are all idiots. "Satoshi!" he called. The next moment, a tan (extremely) stood behind them and they all struck dead with one flick of his wand--except for one who managed to escape. "SHIT!" he cursed, and a few more colorful ones in different languages. "Ohno! Don't just stand there! They're after Sho and your brat!"
It took a long second for him to understand that and his eyes widened and soon he ran up towards their joint room. Together, they saw the bastard blast the door open and they a large screech and Jun's voice and the baby cries.
Satoshi reached the room far sooner than he (seeing as he was still waiting for the magic to work--times like this he hated how it takes so slow for it to work properly).
"Shitshitshitshit--" Nino cursed as he temporarily reversed time on his leg, consequences be damned. He could not for the love of God remember the charms for healing. He ran up as soon as the leg looked standable on, ignoring the fact it was still trying to repair the damaged muscles and skin. He'll deal with the consequences after everything.
He paused up the stairs when he heard Sho's screams and Satoshi's pleading then his pained screeches accompanied unendingly with Sho's.
"Nonononononononononononono--" he whispered in a mantra as he reached up and saw the room in disarray. He saw Jun on the other side of the
room, Nino couldn't see the wound but there was so much blood running down his face. He nearly panicked if it wasn't for a flash of spell headed his way.
Cursing, he tumbled down and hissed when the spell on his leg ruptured, causing more damage than before. But had no time to deal with the pain like he did before since a well cast curse was headed his way. He rolled over and growled. "Stop it, you brat!" he yelled at the man, no boy, who still held Sho in a curse. "He's your brother!"
The boy looked at him with such hate, he gasped. There was tears in his eyes and yelled. "He's not my brother! My brother would've listened to our
Grandfather and stayed home! My brother would have thought of the clan before he abandoned us! He would've stayed and done his duty, like he did in the past!" Shu yelled. "This isn't my brother! This is a traitor! And I was ordered for the traitor to be returned home immediately and dispose of any... off-springs he would have had with unwanted blood."
Nino's eyes widened and his usual brown eyes dilated to a startling gold hue in anger. "You DARE harm a Blood Kin you BRAT?!"
Shu growled. "I HAVE to! It was his orders!" His tears overflowing. "I have NO CHOICE!"
Nino stood up, his magic swirled around him, making it easy to ignore the pain. "You have a choice everyone has a choice."
"Mai's pregnant?" Sho's voice croaked softly, able to finally speak since Shu stopped the curse. "She's pregnant???"
Shu spat at him. "No doubt trying to follow your footsteps! She's being held captive in her own home!" he told them. "I had to do this! Or else our part of the clan with suffer, nii-san." He looked up and saw the naked baby a few feet away from them and raised his wand. "I'm sorry, but I have to!"
Sho's mouth opened in a silent scream, powerless to do anything seeing as he was unable to move. Nino couldn't raise his wand in time to stop the curse, but a blur moved all over a sudden. Covering the baby, and throwing a curse back--a mind altering spell, missing hitting Sho who screeched.
For one whole minute, Nino thought with fear that Jun decided to play hero and his heart broke, but his beloved's body was still by the wall, unmoving.
He breathed shakily, but his eyes widened in shock when he saw who was drapped over the baby, who was still crying much too loudly.
"Satoshi..." he whispered. His eyes glared at the young man who looked at Sho's beloved in shock, clearly not expecting that. Righteous anger filled
Nino as he saw Shu flick his wand and Ohno's body flew to a corner of the room. He could see the spell the man was about to use, he reacted quickly.
"Crucio." he cast and watched the boy who looked so similar to his brother be brought done to his knees.
"You DESTROYED out family, boy." he hissed, his golden eyes he had recieved from his kitsune mother glowed in power. "But I'm not like your family,
I won't kill you nor will I destroy your clan, but I will destroy you to the point that you will be a constant remind of what they tried to destroy."
"Crucio." Nino whispered and watched the boy fall into madness. He could hear Aiba climb the stairs in panic, he could sense Jun waking, he could
feel Sho's ragged breathing, he could tell the baby was still crying, but he didn't stop-not like how Satoshi's life had. He didn't stop until he saw Sho's brother sanity leaving, he didn't stop.
Because their family was no longer complete. So he didn't stop.

"Ignore Nino, Sho." a voice instructed. Sho turned to him with a smile. Ah... It was Mr. Violet talking to him this time.
"Okay." he replied, cheerfully. He didn't want to be in Mr. Violet's bad mood. Plus he liked Mr. Violet's voice, it had a very soothing effect on him, but Mr. Violet didn't talk much.
He liked it when Mr. Violet would scold him, because that meant he'd keep talking and talking and talking. He knows its weird, but he liked hearing him talk, always and always.
He knows that Mr. Violet was like Mrs. Green, who took care of him everyday. His job was to Cure pure who was sick, but they were slightly different. Mr. Violet Cured sick people, Mrs. Green took care of people like him.
Sho wondered why though. He was perfectly okay. He wasn't sick, so why did she have to care for him?
"Sho?" Mr. Violet called that name. Sho smiled back at him. Oops... his smile said. Was Sho his name? They make it sound like it. So it must be his name. He smiled.
It was such a pretty name.
What did the name mean again? Sho outwardly frowned, not noticing that he was. His friends exchanged glances. Mr. Violet sighed, it was so tiring to get Sho's attention sometimes.
"Flight!" Sho exclaimed all of a sudden. Mr. Violet look startled and frowned. "What?"
Sho looked at him sheepishly. "Sho. It means Flight." he told him with a smile. They all blinked. This was the first time they saw him acknowledge his name. Could it mean he was really getting better?
"Yes. Your name means Flight. But what about it?" Mr. Violet asked him. Sho shrugged. "It seemed important to know." he replied with a pout. Mr. Yellow Man laughed. "I'm sure it is, Sho." He told him while he squeezed his hand. Sho beamed at him, andMr. Violet sighed. He was never going to win against Mr. Yellow Man.
"Sho, please listen to me." Sho turned back to him with a pleased smile. "I'm always listening to you, didn't you know?" he told Mr. Violet, who turned into a lovely shade of pink. Mr. Yellow Man and another giggled. Mr. Violet coughed into his hand awkwardly.
"Yes, well...okay then. " he retorted, knowing it sounded weak, as per the snickers of his lover. He glared at him but the other just cocked his eyebrow in amusement. "Sho..." he began, noticing he had his full attention. "We're bringing someone important today..."
Sho's eyes looked curious, but he didn't disturb. So, Mr. Violet continued. "He's someone very important to us and...to you."
Sho blinked and smiled. "Is it those people behind the door?" They all blinked their shock and nodded. "Y-yes." They had forgotten that one of Sho's abilities was to see Magical Aura. "He's a little tiny isn't he?" Sho asked, tilting his head in confusion.
"He's young, Sho-chan." Mr. Yellow Man told him. "And he takes off his father." Sho nodded slowly, clearly not understanding.
"Why is he here then?" Sho asked with a small smile. "I've nothing to offer." Mr. Violet frowned. "Because..."
Sho didn't like it when Mr. Violet couldn't reply. It meant he said something wrong. He didn't like it when he did something wrong.
He liked Mr. Violet. He liked him a lot.
But he didn't like Mr. Violet as much as he liked him.

The first thing Matsumoto Jun saw was Aiba's concerned green eyes staring at him with anxiety. He gave a groan at the throbbing pain on his head. It felt like he fought with a wall and lost. Which he already experienced in the past, so yes, he knew.
He quickly surveyed the room, ignoring Aiba's silent pleas to heal himself. He was a God damn Healer and he was going to definitely HEAL his charges before himself and paused. It would do no good if he died before he could heal them all. So he did a diagnostic spell on himself and sighed in relief. His wounds weren't fatal, yet. He barked at Aiba to get a Blood Replenishing Potion and a Pepper-Up Potion. Aiba beamed at him and ran out.
He continued his survey and saw Sho's baby brother on the floor blubbering in pain--clearly insane. Jun winced at he knew who exactly did that. He trailed his eyes around, trying to find the others, not trusting himself to get up just yet.
His eyes widened at the damage that was extended in the room. He then stiffened when he heard sobs at the far end of the room. How could he not have noticed that before. He gave a small gasp when he saw what had happened.
Nino was sobbing over Satoshi's body. Sho's head was craddled on his lap and the babe on his arm--it was almost as if he was afraid of separating the new family. "That brat" Nino spat, "was under orders to bring back Sho and kill 'unwanted blood'." Jun stared at him as rambled on.
"The kid KILLED Satoshi! And now something's wrong with Sho-chan! I don't know what!" he chocked, "I'm crap at Healing Spells and he was bleeding out!"
Jun tried standing, quickly finding out there was nothing wrong with his legs, but his head and his chest hurt like hell. He stood up anyway and walked slowly towards his lover. "I had to do something, because there is NO way I trust Aiba with healing! So I sang!" he croaked. "I SANG, Jun! I sang!"
Jun held him from behind and gently pulled him backward. "I'm sure you sang just fine." he told him. Nino sobbed on his chest while still cradling the baby who's eyes were bright blue on the left and red on the right. He was already showing signs that of growing up to look like his father despite his eye color. "Songs aren't meant to be used like that! It's Dark Magic, Jun! I'm not so sure if it worked right! I could've made it worse!" He yelled.
"But Sho's alive." He pointed out.
Nino shook his head. "But there's still something wrong with him! And I can't sing to him again without having Magic affect his own!"
Jun rubbed his small back and felt his own tears fall. "It'll be fine. I'm sure Sho will get better, Sho's Magic was always better at Self Preservation."
Nino snorted. "With a family like his, it had to be."
Jun didn't comment and saw at the corner of his eye that Aiba had returned, with him was his wife. He nodded for them to come in.
"But we're his family now, and we'll help him get better." he told Nino and locking eyes with both Aiba and Becky. "We'll all get better. I promise"
++++
Sho continued to stare at them with bright curiousity. And apparently, the last person couldn't hold himself anymore. "Sho-chan!" Sho turned to look at him with a smile, still looking at Mr. Violet with a hint of sadness.
"This person is family!" he exclaimed. Sho looked interested right away, if that bright smile was any indication. "Family?" he asked The Green Man. The Green Man nodded enthusiastically. "He's family, and he's been dying to meet you quite sometime now!"
Sho smiled. "Family..." he repeated whistfully. He blinked at looked at them as if for the first time. "Are you family?" He never really considered that before. He just knew they came ever Monday Morning and were gone when the sky grew dark. Mrs. Green was always there when they weren't, just to check up on him and made sure he ate.
He knew The Green Man and Mrs. Green were connected together because of the Gold String attached to both their pinkies. He wondered if it was any different from the Red Strings attached to Mr. Violet & Mr. Yellow Man. Does that mean they were together too? Fated?
He looked at his right hand and saw the same Red Thread but it was broken and faded at the end. Did this mean anything? He felt sad. The Red String seemed really important. He blinked when The Green Man's hand was waved in front of his eyes. He looked at him with a tilt of his head.
The Green Man pouted at him. "Don't ignore me~" Sho frowned. "I wasn't." The Green Man looked at him with a disappointed look. "Right~" he said. Sho didn't want to argue, so he just folded his arms and huffed.
Mr. Yellow Man laughed. "You got Sho-chan mad, Aiba!" The Green Man gasped. "Wait a second! I should be the one who's mad!" he roared. "That's not fair!"
The other just laughed harder. "Why do you have to keep picking on me!?" The Green Man cried. Mr. Yellow Man shrugged. "Because you're easy to bully?"
Sho watched their interaction with a smile, but instinctively knew when to but in when things were getting lethal. He knew Mr. Violet was watching him. He was always watching, Sho thought. The thought made him flush, but now, he's gotten so used to it. He caught his eye and smiled. Mr. Violet flushed and looked away. Sho grinned.
It was so easy to fluster Mr. Violet. Apparently, Mr. Yellow Man knew that too because he was flashing him a bright smile.
He really loved it when Mr. Yellow Man smiled at him.
"You two are ignoring me again!" The Green Man whined. All three of them laughed.
Mrs Green made a sound. "Masaki, dear, shut up."
All four turned quickly to the woman who just entered. Mrs. Green flashed Sho a smile. "Are you ready to meet him?"
Sho blinked and turned to The Green Man, who smiled at him in encouragement. He smiled back at Mrs. Green. "Yes, ma'am."
He liked The Green Man. He also liked his wife; Mrs. Green.
He liked them, so he was going to trust them.
He liked them.
But he liked him more, always and always.

Aiba Masaki just finished repairing the wards around the Mitsui Manor (a parting gift Sho's mother gave them when they fled). It was a hard task, the wards around it were old. So old in fact, that he barely knew what the runes in them were. He nearly panicked until he saw a pattern. From there, he was able to fix it, adding extra protection.
Just as he was finishing it up, he heard screams and was immediately alert. "BECKY!" he cried out as he came back up to the surface. His wife was there, her face pale and but seemingly alright. There were bodies around the area and he knew what she had done. "It's okay. I understand what you had to do." he told her soothingly. She nodded tersely and looked him in the eye.
"I heard Sho's screams a while back." she told him. "We have to go see whats going on. Heaven forbid." Aiba gasped and grabbed her hand and together they ran back inside the manor.
He ran ahead of her as she stopped to get rid of the bodies that were pilling at the Manor's landing with slight distaste. He ran up yelling, "Nino! Riida! Jun! Sho!"
No response. He was getting really scared.
When he got in, he panicked and then saw the Birthing Room.
He saw Sho's younger brother screaming and screaming and screaming, without absolute end. He instantly knew what Nino was doing. His heart dropped to his stomach.
He knew what happened when he saw Sho's still body, bleeding and seeing Satoshi on the far end of the room not breathing. The baby just kept crying and he saw Jun crumpled on the wall, a large gash on his head--out of view. He could see Nino's eyes had turned into slits and were gleaming gold just like his mother; a pure Kitsune.
"Nino!" Aiba cried. Nino didn't show any indication that he had heard him, but he saw tears were flowing off his face. He approached his friend with caution. "Kazu...enough." he spoke, touching the others arm. Nino hissed at turned to him and his eyes turned back to what it once was. "Masaki..." he choked and crumbled into his arms.
"Oh-chan is dead." he whimpered. "He's dead!" Aiba held back his sob. "I know..."
"He's DEAD!" Nino roared, "All because of that BRAT!"
Again, Aiba just nodded. "Nino...you should go take a look at Sho. He looks real bad, I'll go wake Jun."
Nino stumbled towards Sho and looked panicked. But he knew he could do it. So Aiba turned to Jun and surveyed his wounds and assessed them before he brought him back. He wanted to know what Potions to get him after he did wake up.
Suddenly, he heard Nino sing. Aiba stopped and turned back to Nino. It was rare for Nino to use his voice as a medium for magic. Only Riida ever used his voice with comfort, Nino came second.
Voice (or rather Song) Magic was a hard form of magic to control and was considered Dark. But there was no problem with using Dark Magic in Japan, everyone was treated equal here. It was more of the fact that Voice Magic was hard to control since you were literally coaxing Magic to do what you want to do and then there was the wording you had to use.
You had to make sure that there were no loopholes in the magic you weaved.
Nino must've been desperate with using such magic. After he was done, Nino looked at Aiba. Aiba came closer.
"Help me carry Sho to Satoshi." Nino asked, picking up the baby who immediately stopped crying when he was held, curling up at the warmth.
Aiba didn't say anything, his happy-go-lucky nature gone with the recent tragedy. He carried Sho to where Satoshi laid crumbled and felt his tears spill.
Nino stood behind and suddenly stumbled down. "Go to Jun." he croaked.
Aiba looked at Nino and saw his left leg was bleeding, but refrained from commenting knowing that Nino needed to grieve. He nodded quickly and woke Jun. After making sure Jun was going to heal himself he left to get the appropriate Potions. He met his wife who had completely removed the corpses from his home.
"Who died?" was her first question, her eyes already wet from crying. Aiba sobbed and held her close. "Oh-chan's gone." She gasped. "That's so not fair." He nodded and together they went to the Potions Cabinet and pulled half a dozen Potions needed for Jun. Becky grabbing a few others, just basic. They could summon the others if they need any other complicated Potions.
"Come. Jun needs his family complete right now." She told him. He nodded, still crying. If this was any other day, she would've scolded him for this, but today, she let him cry.
Because today their little dysfunctional family lost one their own.
But they'll get better.
Someday...

Sho looked at the little boy who entered the room with slight awe. The boy was smiling at him just like he was and he KNEW immediately who it was.
He opened his arms and the little boy grinned at him and immediately dashed to him.
He heard Mr. Violet give a small chuckle. "Apparently looks like his father, but has his mother's speed." he told Mr. Yellow Man who laughed more openly in agreement. He ignored them in favour of looking at this little boy.
"Hello." Sho greeted. The little boy smiled back and greeted him. "Hello mama."
They all stiffen in response but Sho grinned. "Are you Satoshi?" Sho asked, ignoring their shocked faces. The little boy frowned. "No... I'm Shotarou." he told him. Sho frowned but grinned quickly. "Oh"
The little--no, Shotarou looked at him unnervingly, just like him.
Mrs. Green suddenly dragged all the male in the room. Sho and Shotarou blinked as she pulled them from the room. "We should let them reconnect in peace, yes?" she told them and winked the two males in the room. When the door shut, they turned to each other and laughed.
'Sho...' a voice brought the attention to the wall Sho was staring at earlier. Sho's face lit up quickly. "Hello!" he greeted, as always, always. "You're early today."
The man smiled and turned to Shotarou. 'My son...' Shotarou looked at him with glassy eyes and smiled widely. "Papa?"
'Shotarou...' he repeated, he turned to Sho. 'We need to go, Sho.'
Sho frowned and looked at his son. "Do we have to? I've just met him."
He frowned and shook his head in sadness. 'It's time. I'm sorry.' He replied and stepped closer. Shotarou's eyes widened.
"No!" he cried softly and held on to Sho tightly. "I've finally talked to him!"
He smiled softly and let his hand rest on Shotarou's head. 'I'm sorry, but you'll meet us again...'
Shotarou looked up, his eyes glazed in tears. "Promise?"
He nodded softly. 'Yes. But not as your parents, you'll know.'
Sho frowned as he suddenly felt very tired and he saw his little Red String was almost nonexistent. Was this important? But for now, he didn't really care, he was very sleepy.
"Mama..." Shotarou called out, beside him. He made a noncommental sound. "I love you."
Sho smiled. "I love you too. I love the others too. They're family. I love my family"
Shotarou giggled. "Arashi is family" Sho smiled. He smiled. Shotarou smiled but his tears fell slowly as he saw Sho close his eyes and he woke no more.
"Good bye, Mama."
'Good bye...'

Sakurai Shotarou sighed as he watched his great grandson tumble in the park with ease. He was such a kutz and he had no idea why. Sakurai Satoru was growing up to become a klutz, and that would be very dangerous combination, especially since he was showing signs that he had a very large magical core.
He sighed. That was part of it. That and the fact that his father's soul was in his great grandson. Technically, he was no longer he was his father. But still they kept their promise (even if his mother wasn't sane enough to have really made it).
"Ah!" Some one screamed when Satoru threw the ball a little too far and someone tripped to avoid it. Shotarou groaned at his Uncle. "Uncle Kazunari!" he cried. Nino snickered and moved with his "great nephew".
"Sorry!" Satoru cried as he approached the fallen girl. His bright blue eyes deep in regret.
"Mou~" she cried as she accepted his hand. "Mama's not going to be happy with my dress ruined." She looked up and gave a gasp. As did Satoru.
Shotarou and Nino moved forward. Recognition quickly forming in their eyes.
"Ah..." Nino commented, limping forward (his old wound never did heal right). "The past is moving forward."
Shotarou couldn't help but agree. The girl was a pretty little thing, but it was her eyes that made him pause. Those bright red eyes reminded him so much of his mother. "Mama..."
Nino smacked him on the head. "No longer your mother, brat." Shotarou gave a wry smile. "Of course..."
"I'm Sakurai Satoru." he introduced himself. "I'm Mitsui Yuki." She introduced. They smiled at each other shyly before Nino decided to be mean.
"Satoru! Let's go home!"
Shotarou glared at his only living uncle. Startled, Satoru ran back to them while Yuki watched with a smile. Suddenly, a little fox ran towards her and
Shotarou turned to face his uncle.
"You did not!" he hissed. Nino merely smirked. "Like I said, the past is moving forward."
He sighed as the child moved forward. "How is this happening?" Nino shrugged. "All is possible with Magic!" Shotarou rolled his eyes and ignored his great grandson's curious looks.
