Soon, the training of the 3 clans had started. It was scheduled between Klaus and Philip who were responsible for Mixed Martial Arts and Hybrid Martial Arts* training while Elijah and Jeremy were responsible for the weapons’ training; mainly swords, crossbow with arrows and guns and rifles.

 

 

Both Elijah and Jeremy wanted to teach everyone different varieties of weapons they even included daggers, Shuriken*, Nunchaku*, Ninjatō *, Nihontō* and Sai*.

 

 

Everyone headed to the Silver Lake Arena. It was located in a place near the lake so when the Watanabe boys would feel thirsty, they would shift into wolf form go to drink then chase after one another like little kids enjoying the freedom that their other form brings.

 

 

Nina, Na Na and Ma Rie were dressed in black with red scarf tied around the waist area and red strips over the arms and hips Shinobi* customs with black mask whereas their fiancés and the other gentlemen were dressed in black and grey Shinobi customs with a grayish black mask and grey protecting armor and grey belt.

 

   

 

Firstly, they were trained by Klaus and Philip on some Mixed Martial Arts like Karate, Judo, Muay Thai*, Taekwondo, and Kicking Boxing followed by some Hybrid Martial Arts such as Jeet Kunde Do*, Sanjuro*, Zen Do Kai* and Sanjuro*.

 

 

“And with that you have learned most of the important arts of both Mixed and Hybrid Martial Arts,” stated Klaus.

“You may have some rest before both Jeremy-kun and Elijah-kun would start their weapons training,” informed Philip.

 

 

The boys and girls scattered all over the lake shore, some went to drink from the lake’s cool sweet water and while the others stretched their arms yawning a little.

 

“Oh, I’m so tired,” said Ash who was drying off his sweat with a big white fluffy towel.

“Let’s go and have some rest under the shades of the Sakura tree then,” informed Kevin putting his left arm over the boy’s shoulders.

“I’m very hungry. Let’s go to eat something,” said Michael.

“Yea, me too. I wonder if Tom dongsaeng remembered to make me some bacon and kimichi stew as I asked from him,” said Nick dreamily.

“Here go the two hungry boys. There isn’t a moment that passes by and our dear Bacon and Baozi won’t stop thinking about food,” teased Paul.

 

And that earned Paul a harsh whack on his head from Mark, Joseph and Romeo.

 

“What did we say before Paul? Show some respect to your hyungs,” said Joseph sternly.

“You can’t make fun of your older brothers Paul. It’s disrespectful,” said Romeo.

“What did I say to you before? If you would make fun of your older brothers, you’d be punished severely,” reminded Mark.

“Oh Hyung, I was just joking only. No harm intended,” whined Paul cutely.

“Oh, Joseph Oppa, Romeo Oppa and Mark dongsaeng, can you please forgive him this one time for me?,” asked Ma Rie softly.

“Urgg. Okay, only this time. For you my darling,” stated Romeo.

“Okay only for you Noona but next time…,” said Mark without finishing.

 “He knows the result my sister-in-law,” said Joseph quietly.

“Gamsa Noona. Cheonmal Gamsa. You are the best,” said Paul thankfully.

“I’m sure there will be no next time, right Paul?,” said Ma Rie firmly.

“Ohh, okay,” mumbled Paul.

“Promise?,” asked Ma Rie.

“Promise. With a Scout’s honor,” said Paul quietly.

“Come on guys, the food will get cold,” said Luke cutely.

“Oh my god, he’s so …,” said Paul who couldn’t finish his sentence as his mouth was muffled by a hand.

“Dongsaeng, you promised,” said Na Na

“Oh, I’m sorry. It’s just so difficult. It’s my nature,” whined Paul again cutely.

 

Adam came and put his right arm around his shoulder engulfing the shorter Paul in a semi hug.

 

“Don’t worry Hyung. We will help you. We are here for you,” said Adam adorably.

 

Paul felt himself like some sort of a patient seeing a shrink whenever he was with Adam.

 

How the boy manages to be this wise was really beyond Paul.

 

Then he thought about his harsh life as a young werewolf cub in grade and middle school. The others misunderstood him and made fun of his cold attitude towards his family and friends but he stood up for himself and showed them that he could be just fine the way he is and that behind that cold grumpy pretty face of his, is a warm gentle soul that is very affectionate.

 

As the boys and the girls sat under the Sakura tree, resting and eating their lunch, Max had informed them that the Ryujin small army sent by the council will join them during their 2^nd training.

“Don’t they need to train using some Martial Arts like us Hyung?,” asked Cal after taking a sip from his mango juice.

“Well, no, they are Martial Arts experts themselves, Tenzo Christian* makes sure always that our army is trained in different kinds of Martial Arts,” explained Max while he was eating a piece of the delicious bacon made by Tom.

“Wait, what? Chris is coming here? Oh God! It’s been a long time since I’ve seen him,” said Joseph excitedly.

“Oppa, who is Chris?,” asked Na Na.

“My dear sister-in-law, Tenzo Christian is Hyung’s best friend and ours as well. He’s practically our brother. He’s another Pureblood Vampire like us. He’s our Hyung, older than Joseph Hyung with only few months.” stated Romeo.

“Actually, Chris Hyung was so helpful for us in the past and he always watched my back, my brothers’ backs, and my cousins’ as well,” explained Joseph.

“Wow. Really? He sounds so amazing and strong. I can’t wait to meet him,” said Ma Rie a little dreamily. For her to meet another Ryujin was great since she only knew the 4 Kurusaki Ryujin brothers.

“Why does it sound like you are somehow smitten by him or something?,” asked Romeo.

 “I like Chris Oppa and admire him. From what I heard it feels like he’s such outstanding personality that I’m so intrigued to meet and get to know,” answered Ma Rie innocently.

“What?,” pouted Romeo and his lips wobbled in sadness.

“Oppa, I like Chris Oppa, like my Jeremy Oppa and Elijah Oppa. Nothing more. You’re in my heart,” said Ma Rie assuredly.

“And I like you too Ma Rie dongsaeng,” said Tenzo Christian who was marching towards them with an army of 50 Ryujins trailing behind him.

 

 

“Wait how did you know my name?,” asked Ma Rie.

“My baby Romeo has fell in love and got engaged, of course I should have the knowledge about the girl who was able to steal his heart,” said Christian sweetly.

“And I hate you Chris,” said Romeo firmly.

“But I love you dongsaeng and you love me back,” teased Christian.

“Oh come on. Quit with your jealousy Romeo. Ma Rie dongsaeng just said that she admires Hyung as intriguing person she wants to know more about and likes like a brother,” said Romeo reasonably.

“Exactly Oppa,” said Ma Rie hopefully who went and gave Romeo a sweet soft kiss on his lips.

 

Romeo kissed his fiancée back passionately and he made sure that Christian was watching.

 

“You are right Joseph Hyung. And Chris Hyung try and make a move on my lady…,” said Romeo who was cut off by Chris.

“Relax dongsaeng. Ma Rie dongsaeng is just like my little sister to me as you and the rest of your brothers are brothers to me,” said Chris assuredly while smiling gently.

 

“Okay everyone. I see that you’ve taken your rest and let’s start with our weapon training,” stated Jeremy.

“Would you like to join us in teaching today Chris Hyung?,” asked Elijah.

“It will be my pleasure to do so. I can make the other half of the training to be Martial Arts while using weapons,” added Christian.

“That would be great Hyung,” stated Joseph.

“Okay. Listen up everyone. We will begin with the basics. You are going to train how to use Shuriken first, okay? It should be easy since it’s one of the easiest weapons,” explained Christian.

“And remember it’s all about swift and smooth movements,” stated Elijah.

“Remember what Klaus-sama and Philip-kun had taught us today. Your movements themselves should be hidden, unpredictable, graceful, and smooth,” clarified Jeremy.

 

They started to first train how to use the Shuriken and they were trained for an hour. Then it was followed by the using of the other weapons and finally it was sword time.

“Okay everyone. We are almost done with the training but this part of the training is actually my favorite part,” said Elijah coldly.

 

Everyone could feel the chills surrounding them.

“We are going to teach you using the famous Ninjatō *and Nihontō swords. They are the mighty swords,” stated Jeremy.

 

“They look both like Katana to me,” said Na Na while examining the two said swords.

“You are correct dongsaeng but there are two different kinds of Katana swords, one used by Samurai and another by the Shinobi despite the fact that Shinobi prefer to use shorter bladed swords yet the use a Katana as well,” explained Christian.

“And you are going to learn how to use them in fighting using your elemental powers,” informed Elijah.

“Oppa, not all of us know our elemental powers,” said Nina.

“Aside from the fact that it’s clear for the Watanabe brothers knowing their natural elements, we don’t know,” said John quietly.

“Well, that’s why after we all finish traditional sword training, Michael will give us a spiritual training in search for our elemental powers before going back to elemental sword training. He will be joined by his brothers to demonstrate their powers with your new found ones,” stated Jeremy.

 

“If only my buddy was here. He’d help us greatly,” mumbled Elijah to himself.

 

 

Soon, the traditional sword training had started and Ma Rie and Na Na had excelled in the training to the content of their brothers and fiancés.

 

They were divided into 2 persons/team and each one of them was upgrading their skills perfectly.

 

“Let’s take another break before starting our elemental search training,” said Michael happily.

“I’m so tired Hyung. Can’t we take a quick nap? It’ll take us all to help the others search for their elemental powers after all,” said Matt.

“I don’t see any problem dongsaeng. We’ll need enough energy to do that training, don’t you agree Chris Hyung?,” asked Michael.

“Yes, you will need all your energy in this training. So napping will be good,” stated Chris.

“Alright guys, let’s have a quick nap for an hour and half then we shall resume our training,” said Elijah tiredly.

 

Everyone returned to the Sakura tree and had lain down on a long cloth on the grass under it.

 Max had used his Ryujin weather powers and made it a little bit cloudy to hide the sunlight so they all could take their naps.

 

Romeo was cuddling with his fiancée Ma Rie, Joseph with his fiancée Na Na and Max with his fiancée Nina.

 

“I wanna cuddle with someone too,” whined George cutely.

“Get yourself a pillow to cuddle with or get your own woman. Stop whining dude and let us rest. And don’t you dare thinking about cuddling with my woman,” stated Romeo firmly who cuddled more with Ma Rie putting his face into the crook of her neck smelling her (his favorite) lavender mixed with strawberry shampoo and body wash.

 

Everyone burst into a fit of laughter hearing George’s whining and Romeo’s protective funny comment. They thought they make cute bro-romance; George cutely harmlessly teasing while Romeo harmlessly threatening, marking his territory.

 

“Shut up both of you. I’m trying to get some sleep here,” growled Anthony softly.

“Yes, Hyung,” said George cutely.

“Do you have something to say Romeo?,” asked Anthony.

“But Hyung, he’s the one who started,” pouted Romeo cutely.

“Oppa, we are sorry to disturb you,” whispered Ma Rie.

“Sorry Hyung,” whispered Romeo.

“Wow, the almighty Romeo has been tamed ladies and gentlemen. Gamsa Ma Rie dongsaeng,” said William teasingly.

“Oh shut up. Baby Willy, when we go home you will see what may happen to you and not now so as not to disturb Hyung,” whispered Romeo threateningly.

 

Then it was Joseph who growled and really indeed shut everyone up.

 

Ma Rie had another vision. This time it was about herself and Matt.

 

 

In her vision, Ma Rie discovered the reason for this sinister war. The Evil Hunters were after Atem’s 7 Millennium Items. They would use the blood of the Yokai on humans to send them back in time to retrieve the other 6 items using Matt’s Time Control Power. They would try to control the boy’s mind using mind control potion from some cheap with a bad reputation sorcerer and even they would force the boy to steal the Millennium Puzzle from their household. They would try to capture her and her sister to use their magical powers to gain control over the items as well as their supernatural blood.

 

Ma Rie woke up abruptly startling Romeo in the process. Na Na woke up quickly sensing her sister’s anxiety making Joseph to wake up as well.

 

Ma Rie cleared .

“Oppa, I think we should call upon Kuran Robert and his brother Andrew*,” stated Ma Rie surprising everyone who just woke up after sensing something was off.

 

Everyone was yet again mesmerized by Ma Rie’s seer powers.

 

“Wae*? What did you see?,” asked Romeo in anticipation.

“I know why those sinister bastards’ plan. They wanna retrieve Atem-sama’s Millennium Items,” explained Ma Rie briefly.

“And you and Matt dongsaeng are in danger!!,” exclaimed Na Na in anger using her telepathy powers.

“What the hell? Please explain Noona,” said Adam sternly.

 

Ma Rie kept her lips sealed mentioning she would explain all the events once they all return to the mansion.

 

The 2^nd part of the training was long forgotten due to the news of another Ma Rie vision.

 

Once they reached the mansion, Ma Rie quickly went to where Klaus and Philip were staying with the others trailing behind.

 

“Klaus-sama, would you please summon the Kuran brothers here immediately? I think they would be of great help to us?,” asked Ma Rie gravely.

“Philip, do the agreements,” said Klaus instantly.

“I can go with Edward dongsaeng and teleport them to here,” suggested Na Na.

“That would be a good idea my child, saving lots of time. Philip, send them a notice to be expecting Kim Na Na’s and Watanabe Edward’s presence,” instructed Klaus.

“Consider it done Klaus-sama,” was what Philip said.

 

After half an hour, Philip came back saying that he has already informed the brothers about Na Na’s and Edward’s visit. Chris insisted to tag along.

 

“But Oppa, they are expecting us only,” said Na Na.

“I will go with you and that’s final. Joseph asked me to and I won’t refuse my sworn brother’s* request Na Na dongsaeng,” stated Chris clearly.

“Let him go with you Na Na-sama. After all, Robert and Andrew aren’t at home. They are in a hunting ‘dragons’ trip to scoop the best dragons to join us and not all dragons are friendly towards Hybrids and Werewolves. They trust Vampires and Ryujins; their gods only. They don’t know Hybrids as they never encountered them before and they don’t trust Werewolves after being betrayed once by an old pack despite pledging alliance between them. So, in another words, they can trust Chris as a Ryujin as well as Robert and Andrew as Pureblood Vampires more than you as a Hybrid and Edward dongsaeng as a Werewolf,” explained Philip.

“Please darling. I trust my sworn brother* with my life and he will protect you and my cousin so well,” pleaded Joseph.

“Na Na dongseng, I need you to know this. I love and respect Joseph dongsaeng as if he’s my real blood brother and when we swore to be brothers; a Hyung and a Dongsaeng, we have considered each one of our family members as ours despite, as I’ve said before, the lack of blood tie between us. Edward became my family member since then and now you became my family member the moment Joseph fell in love with you and asked your family’s approval and permission for marrying him,” explained Chris.

“Alright Oppa. I trust you as well as Chris Oppa,” said Na Na.

“Come on Noona and Hyung. Let’s go and bring the Kurans quickly,” stated Edward.

 

And with that Na Na, Edward and Chris teleported to the Eastern Mystic Forest in Japan to bring home with them the Kuran Brothers.

 

 

Meanwhile, Robert and Andrew were chasing after one of the Frost Dragons. He was sneaky and agile with noble blood.

 

 

“Do you think he’ll let us talk to him even?” asked Andrew dodging an attack of the Frost Dragon’s tail.

“He will have to. We’ve no choice but try to reason with him,” stated Robert bluntly.

 

Andrew sighed deeply agreeing with his brother. They must find a way to stop the dragon from attacking them and start talking.

 

“Aish, this big guy doesn’t wanna cool down at all despite being icy,” remarked Andrew sarcastically.

“Let me try to talk to him again. Kenta Kisame-kun*, please stop. We need to talk. Please, listen to us,” yelled Robert as louder as he could.

“No, I won’t,” growled Kisame, the Frost Dragon.

“You don’t leave us another choice then. Chris will come here and he’ll be so angry with you,” stated Andrew sternly.

 

Upon the mentioning of Chris’ name, he appeared of nowhere. Na Na and Edward had successfully managed to teleport to Eastern Mystic Forest.

 

Kisame could smell intruders. He was growling and roaring.

 

“How dare you allowing a Werewolf into our scared forest?,” asked Kisame Chris angrily.

“And how dare you talking to a Ryujin like that?,” huffed Edward angrily.

 

Kisame huffed in anger but then he bowed his head showing respect to the Ryujin in front of him apologetically.

 

“What brings you here Chris-sama and why did you bring a Werewolf with you?,” asked Kisame in slight anger.

“Let the bygones stay bygones Kisame-kun. Not all the werewolves are traitors like the pack you dealt before. Two Moons Pack is about nothing but loyalty and honor their promises,” stated Na Na wisely.

 

Kisame tried to sniff Na Na to figure out what she was.

 

“I’m a Hybrid, Kisame-kun. I’m half Vampire, half Werewolf but stronger than both. My sister and I have the two specimens’ powers and none of their weaknesses; to be exact the weakness of turned into vampires or werewolves creatures,” explained Na Na.

“A Hybrid? How come I’ve never heard about your kind?,” asked Kisame.

“That is because they are so rare and unique creatures Kisame and not all the children born to Vampire and Werewolf parents born Hybrids. Mostly are being born either vampire only or werewolf only,” clarified Andrew.

“Are you sure that those wolves are trustworthy?,” wondered Kisame.

“They are the most trustworthy Werewolf pack ever you will ever encounter,” said Na Na.

 

After few minutes of thinking, Kisame gave them his answer.

 

“Alright, I’ll listen to what you have to say,” informed Kisame.

 

It was dinner time when Na Na , Edward and Chris teleported back to the mansion with their guests and a Frost Dragon.

 

The Frost Dragon had landed in the backyard of the mansion and everyone else had come out to greet him. Then he had shape shafted into a human with silver eyes and silver hair. He had some of his fringe covering his left eye. He had a magical flute slung over his right shoulder which enabled him to deafen his opponents’ ears or even to kill them.

 

“Welcome, please come in Kisame-kun”, greeted Ma Rie.

“How did you…,” said Kisame who was speechless.

“I’m a Seer Kisame-kun,” answered Ma Rie quietly.

“Greeting Ma Rie-sama,” greeted both Robert and Andrew.

“Annyeong-haseyo* Robert-kun and Andrew-kun,” greeted Ma Rie politely.

“I hope you don’t mind the intrusion,” said Andrew,

“Not at all, please come in,” said Joseph calmly.

“It’s just we are waiting for Minami Jason*,” stated Robert.

“What? Jason is coming as well? Oh God, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen him,” said Elijah excitedly.

“Oppa, who is he?,” asked Na Na her brother curiously.

“He’s my bestie and close friend since like forever. We even went to school together,” said Elijah.

“He’s actually one of the best Pure Blood Vampires we’ve ever encountered and befriended. He’s a Shinobi Vampire,” explained Joseph.

“He’s a what…? A Shinobi Vampire?! Awesome,” said Nina in awe.

 

Then out of nowhere Jason materialized. He landed perfectly on the roof top of the mansion dressed up in complete black Shinobi outfit. Then he landed on the ground and walked to the front door and in an instant changed his outfit.

 

“You don’t stop amazing me as usual dongsaeng,” said Elijah happily seeing his friend.

“I try my best always Hyung,” said Jason laughingly.

“Hello and welcome. Please come in to our humble house,” said Romeo.

 

After all had gathered in the living room, Ma Rie had walked into the middle of the room to tell her vision.

 

“Pray, listen to my latest vision. I suppose both Andrew-kun and Robert-kun have filled you in with what’s happening,” said Ma Rie eyeing both Kisame and Jason.

“Yes, we’ve been informed. It’s such malicious thing we’ve ever heard about,” said both Kisame and Jason with a scoff.

“But just today I’ve seen a vision with the real purpose of these evil hunters behind all this upcoming war. They need to capture all the other remaining Millennium Items taken to the afterlife with the late Pharaoh Atem. These items are the Puzzle which we have here with us in our mansion given as a valuable and helpful gift from Atem-sama to Joseph Oppa while the others which he took with him are The Eye, The Necklace, The Rod, The Ring, The Scales and The Ankh. Keep in mind that they were made off Dark Magic. And in my vision they will come after me, my sister and my cousin Matt Dongsaeng. They need powerful magical power similar to Atem-sama’s powers and Time Control Powers like Matt’s. They will use Matt’s powers to retrieve the other items before they were taken to the afterlife with Atem and will use mind control potion over him to manipulate him into stealing the Millennium Puzzle from our home. Then they will use our magical powers to control the items which will later on let them control our and the Human’s worlds,” explained Ma Rie.

 

After hearing Ma Rie’s vision, everyone fell silent. They couldn’t have imagined what they heard was true. They were really dumbstruck.

 

It was Adam who was the first to react and talk. He moved rapidly towards his brother Matt hugging him ever-so-tightly to himself and he was followed by his brothers

Then he was followed by the Kim Brothers flashed over to their sister followed by the girls’ fiancés making what could be called a protective square shield.

 

“Over my dead body. Anyone who would try and take a step closer will have to go through me first,” stated Adam so coldly.

“No one will touch our baby panda,” said Paul huffing in anger.

 

“They won’t make it past Uri sisters. Let them try and they’ll be dead before they know it,” said both Elijah and Jeremy in unison.

“No one touches our women and gets to live and talk about it,” said both Romeo and Joseph simultaneously.

 

“Okay, you need to calm down guys. We won’t let them step closer to anyone of us and of course we’ll keep our guards up,” stated Andrew.

“My child, the key to try and stop this evil plan if we can somehow win this kid, Cameron over,” stated Klaus thoughtfully.

“I think it would be a great idea Klaus-sama if we could do so,” said Na Na.

“I think we would postpone our Natural Element Training for now, maybe we can start tomorrow or two days later,” stated Nina.

“Unfortunately, yes but then again now we have more of our friends joining our cause we can train benefiting from their experience which will be a bonus,” said Max.

“I agree with you Hyung. The more the better,” stated Kevin.
