Olivia's P.O.V.

I panted as I neared home, but was stopped when I heard the voice that I love so much. I turned and there was Ace. I beamed and ran towards him, being overjoyed.
"Ace!" I called out as I gently hugged him. I was so relived. He made it out and got his senses back. I am so glad. He made it. He made it.
"Hallo love." Ace said with a smile. Love...has he called me that before?? Oh never mind it. I looked back up at him and then my smile faded. He looks different. I mean. He is still Ace but...there are small things that are not like him.
"Ace. Why are your eyes gold and how did you get a scar on your lip?" I asked being suspicious.
"Oh. I got these from Anntonia. It was a after affect of her spell but don't worry. I am ok now babe." Ace said with a smile. I edged away a bit. This didn't feel right. My heart and gut is telling me that this is not right...yet...I guess I will give him the benefit of the doubt.
"Ok. Let's just head home ok?" I said with a smile as we headed over to the mansion again. When we got there everyone was busy treating the wounded while it seemed that the Suga and the other heads of the house were no where to be seen. Ace took and tightened his grip on hand and then I got concerned.
"Ace, what is wrong?" I asked as I looked up at him. Ace shook his head and said he had to go lay down for he is not feeling well. I watched him leave to only end up getting crowded by other members of the gang as they greeted me. I smiled and laughed as I enjoyed their welcome. Yet I was dying to know where my baby is. Ace never said anything about out lil Clem and I am worried. What even happened to Romano? All this was going through my mind until I excused myself and went to go looking for them until a maid spoke up,

     "Olivia-san...we're sorry but, your cousin is still recovering and your child was taken by Grey." she said with her head bowed as she showed remorse. My heart sunk along with my stomach. Thinking that this must be some cruel joke and I was about to burst with rage until I stopped myself. There is no way these wonderful people would say that. Tears ran down my face due to all the emotions I feel. The worst thing a parent can go through is the loss of their child. I wanted to run out and look for her but that would be stupid since I am defenseless and have no clue to where she might be. On top of that Romano is injured and I have to see him. He might have the answers I need.

     I swallowed the lump in my throat as I spoke in a shaky voice, trying to make it still as I forced myself to stay calm for I must learn how to not get too worked up. I am a adult.

    "C-can someone take me too where my cousin is?" I asked. A maid nodded and lead the way. I followed her to the infirmary which was full and maids and butlers were helping with taking away those who were unable to be saved and healers worked themselves to exhaustion. She opened a curtain and there laid Romano. I thanked her and she nodded, closing the curtain and left to leave me and my cousin semi alone together. I walked over to the chair next to him and I gripped his bandaged hand and cried a bit. So much is happening and I am just so fed up. Now I was angry. Beyond angry. This is the last straw and I made my oath,

    "Romano. I have had enough of being weak. I am gonna train harder this time. I promise to no longer be weak. I will become stronger and train with Daisy again and...I will learn the practice our ancestors did. Practice the arts that my mother so hated. I admit, I have gotten too soft since I gave birth to Clementine and now....now I need to become stronger. Harder. Not only do I need to improve my skills in weaponry and combat but I want to learn magic. The magic you know and what our family knew. I will protect now instead of being protected and I won't cower anymore. No more hold backs. Romano I promise you! I will learn!" I cried out as I heard a laugh. I widened my eyes and saw Romano with one eye open as he snickered.

     "Well then what are we waiting for?" Romano asked as he smiled and sat up.

"R-Romano? When did you..."

"Whole time. I was just being very lazy."

"Hahaha. OK." I was filled with joy as I hugged my cousin. He hugged back and laughed out with confidence.

"Haha. NOW, training begins now!" He declared.

"HAI!" I said as I felt pumped. I can do this and I will defeat the man who has caused so much trouble for my family.

To be continued....













Suga's P.O.V.

   I had finished the discussion with Akira, Kiba, and Koyomi and t hey believe that Aku should be gone for a while now since that battle took a toll. A large one. I was walking down the hall with my hands in my pockets as I thought hard about everything. About what may come next. Just then when I passed someone I saw it was Ace. I turned and smiled and then frowned as I looked at him. Something was not right and I knew that. His presence was different and little things in his appearance. His walk even. I let him walk away and I was on my own path again. I had to keep a close eye on him and talk with Olivia. I don't want to jump to conclusions but my instincts tell me he is bad news and they are always right. I hope this time they are wrong though for I love Ace just as much as I do everyone else in my gang but....

    My thoughts trailed and I kept walking. It may seem over but then again, things might be getting started or we are in the halfway point of this struggle. Haaa. Not a single calm moment with this gang. Oh well. I must fulfill my duty as leader and stay on my toes. Whatever your next move is Grey, I am ready. So is my gang. Pick with one you pick on us all as a whole.
