[Author's Note: Okay guys, Sunday's are a bit different than the normal days. For starters, there will be several insertions under the title Sunday Outing. And that will be explained in this chapter. Not all will be a songfic, in fact, most will be like the interlude I have previously done. Well, Enjoy!]

Sunday, November 8th

It was the fourth day in that strange place as they had all been given the day off. A welcome thing only made much better by the scene before him. There was Lunaria guiding Yui through some basic Tai Chi Katas. Though he was of mixed feelings about his little mate learning these to start disciplining her body and mind before being trained in harnessing the budding vampiric powers she had been exhibiting ever since her 'awakening'. He'd prefer if she just let him continue to protect her. It was his right, after all, being her mate.

"Dude, I hate to say it, but that sight is hot!" Laito whispered next to him.

Frowning, Ayato looked over at one of his elder triplets. Only to hear a soft grunt of agreement from his other on his other side. Not that he didn't agree, he just didn't like them stating it aloud. Because right now, Lunaria was pressed tightly against her nieces, his mates, back and was slowly shifting Yui's body with her own into the proper stance. Her voice was low, soft, gentle, and very patient when Yui kept making mistakes. It was really fucking hot and it was stirring his desire for not just his mate, but Lunaria as well.

Then again it was an event on the second day that had led to this. They'd all been practicing. Or rather having their asses handed to them by both their father and Ryu. Only to have Subaru throw one of the wooden daggers at Ryu, who moved to dodge it. Revealing Lunaria and Yui walking towards them. Yui's arms full with a basket that had later been lunch. Time had seemed to stop as he, as well as the others, just stood there watching as it flew towards Yui's stunned face.

Lunaria had stepped between, snatching the wooden dagger from the air and tossed it back at Subaru. When it landed in the dirt, it was buried up to the hilt. Her movements had been quick and powerful. No wasted movement at all. The cold, detached look on her face so out of place. Before they'd all watched as she sunk to her knees and panicking. Tician had been the one along with Yui to soothe her.

There'd been a clamor for answers at that. Leaving Ryu to look irritated before he snapped at them all. Asking if they had paid attention to what he had said at all in the Sanctuary the day before. Only to reiterate that he said his sister, Yui's mother, had trained both of the girls. On top of the twins parents and brothers, and himself training them. Plural. Meaning that Lunaria was just as capable of fighting and defending as Tician was. But with her personality, they'd just seemed to not get it.

From there Ayato recalled as Ryu had the twins show just how much muscle control and discipline had been beaten into the two girls. They were centuries beyond what he or his brothers and the Mukami's were capable of doing. They could stop with a seconds notice in mid-movement and hold it for about three minutes. On top of the fact that they could shift speeds at a command as well. Tician explained that when she told them prior that it had been beaten into them, she wasn't kidding. They'd been beaten to within an inch of being dead, healed, and forced to continue.

The impromptu match between the twins had been enlightening. Lunaria knew where her weaknesses were. She was small, petite. And while they had heard the impact of the fighting between Tician and Lunaria as their limbs physically collided. She was at a disadvantage for strength as well. But she had speed and the ability to duck and roll quicker. She made her weaknesses her strengths. It had been glorious to watch until Lunaria seemed to change as the match continued on. Tician calling a halt and just holding her sister as she shook and went pale, whimpering over and over that she hated fighting. She didn't want to kill anyone anymore.

Shaking his head, Ayato, knew that there was still more to the story of the twins. That they hadn't been completely upfront about their past and that stupid prophecy. But he knew that trust and respect were what they were looking for before they came clean completely.

He was highly amused and completely satisfied with things at the moment. The Cabin had been his biggest surprise so far. Of course, he was upset that Ruki had figured out the Cabin before he did. The magic for it was intricate, yet simplistic at the same time. And it catered to its inhabitant's needs and wishes. All one had to do was state or think hard enough of what they wanted. Then again Ruki had also gotten Lunaria to share his bed. The arrogant bastard had even had the gall to leave his door open where they all could see the petite raven-haired girl lying between his legs, face buried in his stomach and holding him as if he were her lifeline.

But, he'd been the first that Tician had taken to her bed. That had been glorious and in the last two days, she had taken his younger brother, Kanato, and Ruki to her bed as well. And though he had no right to complain, it had him feeling very possessive of the blonde. She bore his mark. Instinct had him demanding he make her stay by his side. Though he knew that she belonged to all of them.

Though it had been rather amusing to see Kanato flushing darkly and acting exceptionally shy after she had shared his room for the night. And unlike the night she'd spent with him, there had been no sounds, aura backlash at all. In fact, if they had not been spotted coming out of Kanato's room no one would have known either. But when he, and the others, had plied Kanato about his experience, he watched as Kanato's violet eyes went wide, looked at Tician and claimed his Teddy said they shouldn't talk about it.

Reiji smirked. Ruki had been a bit different. He had been reading when the eldest Mukami had come up to him and said, 'I understand.' This had Reiji putting down his book this morning, looking at him with a knowing and look. It had caused Reiji to chuckle and dismiss him by continuing to read his book. But that had only lasted for so long as he had caught Lunaria talking with Yui about working with her on her training. Hence him now leaning against a tree watching the two tiny females working in tandem. And while he wasn't speaking up vocally, he too was enjoying the sight of them together. Laito was correct, it was hot.

Ryu just smiled as he noted that most of the children were all gathered in one area. Though he noted that Yuma, Subaru, Azusa, and Tician were no there. The rest were enjoying the sight of Lunaria teaching Yui. He knew that Yui had yet to unlock her powers, and memories that had been sealed away. When it did happen, he was sure that they'd respect her more than they did now.

"You are smiling again."

Blinking slowly, he dragged his gaze from the girl and the other children, to look at Karlheinz, who was also watching with rapt attention, the scene before them all. He didn't care if he was smiling, he often did that for no reason at all.

"And the problem is what?" He asked.

"Nothing, just that you have this weird air about you," was the simple reply.

Snorting rudely, he figured that Karlheinz was just having a moment of idiocy, which was not uncommon. The man had to control everything with an iron fist. And hated when things didn't go according to his plan. And after revealing that Yui was not a human, but a true Dhampir, that meant no new species would be born from her union with Ayato. And the fact that he knew, albeit loosely, the twins parents, he knew that he didn't have high hopes.

"You know cousin, I think that things will eventually turn out for the better," Ryu said softly.

"Mayhap, but I can say this, if Lunaria doesn't decide to fight, it could be for the worse as well," Karlheinz said, his voice dropping a few octaves.

Giving a soft sigh, Ryu understood why the man wanted Lunaria to fight. Even if she was not ready. The consequences were stacked against them. The girl had way too many fears and phobias where fighting was concerned. And it was very evident after her sparring match with Tician. Though Ryu was impressed with the fact that she was still pure instinct in a fight. Adapting and using her weaknesses as an advantage like she had been taught. Of course, he had made them spar on the surface of the lake, maintaining a steady flow of their magic, while he and Karl had kept a barrier up. At least until she started to lose control.

She stood there with the three males around her. An eyebrow quirked in mild amusement as she fought to keep from smiling wider. Today was supposed to be a day of rest. But, of course, the three wanted to fight. She had been teaching them to fight with a Sword. And it did chafe that she had been regulated to being a teacher for the beginners with the damn weapon. Lunaria was a better teacher, more patient. It angered her to no end that they were not at her level. But she was not stupid, no. The three of them against her at once meant that she'd be sore and more than battered after this.

Rolling her shoulders, Tician just wanted to go and rest. The hot springs sounded like a good idea after this. It would be nice to bathe in some hot water and let the aches and pain she would soon have racking her body soon enough just melt away. Then again... the boys hadn't been introduced to that wonderful little place yet. And it had her flashing her teeth at all three of the guys. Making her eyes glint in delight, before she rushed them. Her own two swords arcing outward in a swift strike that was to test the waters.

Yes, she would be delighted in bringing up the natural Hot Springs after dinner for the whole clan to meander out to. Hell, she knew that Ryu had been bathing in them. He was overly fastidious about his cleanliness. And while the cabin did provide for them, including a small copper tub with heated water to bathe in when needed. Nothing beat a good hot mineral bath in the middle of a forest. And the reaction she wanted to see from the boys at her just plopping down in a shared pool with them naked as the day she was born, yes, it would have her rolling with laughter.

Until then she'd have to survive three very serious and intent-driven males, that were also very pissy that she had not shown them any type of interest physically. Their jealousy was sickening, but to be expected. Each of them were alphas in their own right. But, she had proven that she would not be submissive. Nor would she be cowed into a submissive state by them. Karlheinz or Ryu, that was another matter, given if they were doing it, it was because she'd royally fucked up.

They circled her, their eyes meeting in quick, silent conversation. She had started the attack, grinning about something that had made her odd eyes practically glow with a dark light. They were not happy about having to learn the sword, especially since Laito had refused to come and practice with them. No, he'd rather be a lazy assed bastard and watch Lunaria train Yui. Each of them realized that it only made their own situation harder to handle.

The subtlest of movements Subaru darted in and connected his practice sword with only one of Tician's, as the other two watched how she blocked and deflected. Each taking the time to observe how her body shifted and moved to do so. It was the biggest lesson she had been 'trying' to 'beat' into them. Though they knew she was seriously toning it back. Especially after having to watch her fight with Reiji. It still rankled them to no end.

Subaru danced back, and they began to circle her once more. Still watching and assessing, when Azusa and Subaru ran in this time at different angles. The way her body contorted as again she blocked and deflected Subaru's sword with only one, while she just able to block Azusa's. This had Yuma noting how her eyes narrowed just before he saw the minute tightening of her neck and arm muscles as she ducked and spun. The two blades swinging out in an arc around her body.

Only for all three of them to fall back and start the process over again. This was annoying. But they all knew that she would attack again. Because she was watching them, measuring them just as much as they were here.

He was taking the free day for what it was. As soon as breakfast was done he slipped out of the Cabin and made his way down to the lake. There was no real interest in watching the two girls train. Or even watching as Tician sparred with the three of the four she was supposed to be training. No, he'd rather just laze around and enjoy himself. Hence why he was now resting against the same rocky outcropping as the one shown in the tapestry that was hidden in the small sanctuary beneath the lake.

This place was definitely different. Created purely from the magic and nature of the Demon worlds lands. All by one woman, who was really Yui's mother. It was just shocking overall what they had learned that first day. That and the true nature of the Cabin. A joke in and of itself. All he had to do was think of what he wanted, as long as it was not a person, and he had it. Unique and had him enjoying his natural laziness.

His mind drifted back to the past week, all the things that had happened, culminating in the fight between his younger brother and Tician. And the results of that fight had kept him from getting his much-wanted sleep. In fact, it had actually driven him from the house. His mind had wandered to where Kou had taken the younger of the two twins. That was his concern. He was interested in Lunaria. He wanted to hear her play that violin again. Music was a major part of who he was. But what he really wanted was to see that look of pure rapture on her face.

Closing his eyes, enjoying the fact that he was actually outside, in a world that was mostly sepia colored now, a gentle breeze blowing across him as the Sunlight filtered through the trees. The time of day that this world had been stopped at was around and allowed him to actually partake of an earlier time of day was kind of intriguing to him. Still, Shuu shut his eyes and decided a quick nap wouldn't hurt anything. His ears picking up the sounds that had slowly begun to return to this place. He could feel the life returning with what the twins did every morning after waking up and eating.

Lunaria smiled as she saw the exasperated look on Yui's face. Now that she actually looked at the girl, she saw a lot of both her parents in her. Though looks wise she definitely took after her mother, though she was petite. It had her heart swelling with both true happiness and pride.

"Now Yui, do not get that way. Trust me, I did not learn in one day or even a week. I was taught from the time I was able to walk, run, and understand the spoken tongue," she chided.

Carefully she went behind her niece again and moved Yui's legs and arms with her own. Holding her in that position as she synced her breathing to Yui's. Mumbling softly for Yui to close her eyes as she started to take her through the proper movements of the basic Tai Chi Kata.

"Feel the movements as you breathe in with one and exhale on the second. Do not think, just feel," she said. "Ignore anything outside of what you are feeling as I take us through these steps. Just breath, in and out. Let your body naturally relax."

When she felt Yui sag against her, Lunaria smiled widely, though it was sad, as she continued through the whole kata until it was finished. Though she started it again, she stepped back and let Yui do it herself. The girl really could focus when she set her mind to it. A stubborn resilience that was a Draco's family trait strong in her. Meaning once she started to awaken more and more, mastering her powers as they came, she'd be a force to reckon with if she did indeed inherit more of her mother's abilities.

Until that day, Lunaria silently vowed that she would protect Yui to the best of her current abilities. But she also knew that she had to work on her faults.

Kou had opted to stay in the Cabin for their day off. There was no urge to spar, watch Lunaria and Yui, or even explore. In his lap was a photo album from those in the forest. Though it was all miniature paintings, it gave him an insight to the people that had lived there. Glancing up, he held the book out to his eldest brother, Ruki. Who was still reading one of the many thick tombs he had acquired.

The picture he had the book open to was actually rather precious. It was of their father and Ryu. Both were down on the ground with the woman they'd learned was Yui's mother standing on their back. Dirt and blood coated all three of them. And in the red-headed woman's arms was three swords. Two of which were very familiar. One being Excalibur, their father's sword, the other was V'Inis Ryu's sword. The other they guessed was her own. It was amusing to see such powerful Vampire Elders so young looking like they were no more than a few centuries old and acting like children.

Ruki just raised his eyebrows and smiled thinly. Amused by the picture along with the caption scrawled hastily underneath it. 'Spring Mud Wrestling, Anya Kicks the Boy's Asses...AGAIN!' But it was quickly dismissed for whatever he had been reading in the book. Though Kou could tell that his brother was doing his level best to not laugh aloud.

Putting the book back into his lap, Kou continued to flip through it, committing several of the pictures to memory. Though he noticed that there were never any visual facial drawings or paintings of Tician and Lunaria's parents. And as far as he could tell, their father, Rage, wore a cloak and cowl no matter what. And their mother appeared to be a tall woman who was overly curvy and liked to wear damn near see-through clothing. Not that he would complain, because he could appreciate a beautiful woman. Though from the looks of it, Tician inherited her golden hair from her mother.

Flipping the page one more time, Kou stopped and narrowed his eyes. There the twins were standing, looking just a bit softer around the edges than they did now. But it was the fact that there were two males in the picture standing behind them. And their arms were draped over the girls, who were smiling. Tician coyly up at a tall silver-haired male who only had one eye, that was a piercing gold. The other had short, spiky white hair, tan skin with a red lightning bolt over a black eye. Both were taller than the girls easily. The male behind Tician was dressed in what looked to be a fancy white and blue layered Japanese Yukata. While the one behind Lunaria wore almost form-fitting black and white stylized trench coat, white gloves with a black line design on them.

It was the look on both of the males face was one he knew. There was pride and possessiveness, and something else he didn't recognize, written across their visage. And from the way, the girls looked relaxed and allowed them to touch their person, it was very much returned. Anger boiled his blood as he shoved the book violently at Ruki. Who shot him a dark glare, before looking concerned after seeing his face. Kou was not liking this. There had been males before them. Ones that the girls apparently held affection for in the past.

"I see. I think we should ask some questions," Ruki said.

The tone of voice used had Kou going still as he saw the red flash briefly in the depths of his brother's eyes. As the questions he wanted answered flew around inside of his head. Deciding it might be best to not continue to look at the album, Kou set it down, stood up and made his way into the Kitchen. Glancing out the window, he saw Tician, his brothers and the youngest of the Sakamaki's returning. And from how beat up all of them were, Kou knew that waiting would be a good idea. Since he learned that impatience was not rewarded.
