5 years later, A 12 year old boy lumbers out of his room and into the kitchen at 5 o'clock in the morning, looking outside his room at the dark blue sky and the sound of birds calling in their early morning wake. Walking to his fridge he pulls out a gallon of milk from the fridge, a bowl and feral box from the cabinet and a spoon from the drawer, before sitting down for his breakfast that lasted half an hour. Finishing his cereal he puts them into the sink and washes the off before heading towards his bathroom for a morning shower.

Half an hour after entering the shower to fully wake up, he gets into his exercise cloths, a soft yellow and white gym shorts, before heading outside to begin his run around the red lights district. On his run he passes several 24hr open shops and markets within the red lights many being adults shops. " Hey, Yūrei/ Ryuu!" Several of the girls from Rena's called each in their own different tone. When close to the end of the or d lights district, a group stops him, just in front of Drakes Bar, home of the Dragon Gang. "Well, well. Been a while, punk. Boys, look what we have here." Yūrei looks as three old faces he'd never thought he'd ever see again.. "Well, if it ain't Morrison, Rat and Hog. Been what, five years since I last saw your sorry asses? Well, sorry to break it to you, but I'm not the meek little mouse I and Naruto use to be." He says with confidants and with no fear. "Oh ain't that the truth? Well we'll see if you still have that when I test me new explosives on ya ass, small fry!" Rat shouts with his now blacken tipped yellow hair and powered face from what explodes into his face. "Hog excited to hear little punk screams." The big, pig masked Hog says with a chained hook. Yūrei looks at them before turning and running into an alley behind him with the three in pursuit he turns off into a dead end, before jumping from wall to wall of the buildings and lands onto the wall as the three come into view. "What the hell!? Get back he ya punk! "Rat shouts in anger as Yūrei grins and jumps down onto the other side and continues to run home.

As he walks up the stairs he continues to hear the shouting of Rat. Once home he unlocks his door, Apartment 20B, before the door to 19B fly's open and Naruto appears, wearing an orange track suit, white T-shirt, a pair of of green goggles and blue sandals. "Oh kami! I'm late for finals! Irika-sensei going kill me." Yūrei watches him vaults over the railing and runs towards the academy without saying 'hello' to him. Chuckling at his friends misfortune, Yūrei walks into his apartment and looks at the time on the grandfather clock he'd brought from an antique shop, 7:30, walking over to a pedestal where two objects lay, a decorated guitar and a red bladed katana. Heit and Death Rose. Grabbing Rose and sheathes her before he straps her to his waist. Walking out the door again, he leaves and makes his to the training ground provided to him by the old monkey to be used by him and Naruto, using the alleys and occasionally the main roads. Yūrei stops as he's a few blocks from the grounds, just in front of a dark alley, one that connects to a dark market under the market square, he hears muffled Cry's of a girl in the distance within the alley.

After being at the training grounds for nearly 4 hours, he returns home and sets Rose in the pedestal next to Heit. Yūrei groans as he walks to his room and grabs a pair of clothes before heading to his bathroom to clean off the sweat. Removing his sweety cloths, he gets into the shower and stands under it letting the cool water hit him.

After 10 minutes of being under the water the door bell rings. He groans but gets out and quickly dries off as the bell rings again. "OK, OK, I'm coming." Yūrei wraps a towel around his waist before getting out of his bathroom and goes towards the front door. Opening it he sees a big-boned man wearing a black suit with the Akamichi clan insignia on the left breast pocket. "Are you Yūrei Ryuu?" The man asks and Yūrei nods. "My name is Chogo Akamichi, and I'm here to inform you that several guest that'll be having dinner at the Black Lily wish for you to perform there this afternoon. The clan heads will also be there for their children's graduation party."

"Any specific songs they want to hear, and am I getting?" Chozo pulls out a list. "This is the list they want you to sing and as for the pay, it'll be 30% of the meal they pay for." Yūrei nods and looks at the list. "Ok, I'll do it, but I'm bringing a friend along for some if these songs." "That's acceptable, be their at 4pm and be ready at 5pm as that's when they'll all be there." Yūrei nods before looking at Chogo once more. "I'll be bringing a friend to help, and split my part of the pay." "That'll be acceptable." He responded before walking away.

Yūrei runs to his phone quickly and searches for the number. Finding the number he dials it up and smiles happily waiting for them to answer. "Hello? Yūrei, it's been a while." He chuckles as Autumn answers her phone. "Yeah, been a while since we've talked, but this isn't a social call. I've been invited to the Black Lily to sing to some guest who asked for me specifically. I was think you'd like to join and maybe call Lucas and Nora." A long silence follows after he had asked. A chorus of laughter comes over the phone. "Man, we'll join you to the Black Lily. I'm sure Nora will also come, just need to call her." A male voice calls over, Lucas was over Autumns place. "Alright. Meet me at my place at 2, we need to be there at 4 and ready at 5." "Alright man, see you there." The phone clicks as the line is cut.

Yūrei sighs as he sits in his chair looking up at the ceiling. 'The bands back for a short time again.' He thinks to himself of the time they played songs from artists in the 21 century, which were most of the asked songs when he looked at the list. His smile grew when he saw the names of a single band they played from.

Yūrei gets up and grabs Hiet and plays her a little bit and begins to play one song he almost always did Alone

'Comatose' by Skillet

I hate feeling like this
I'm so tired of trying to fight this
I'm asleep and all I dream of

Is waking to you
Tell me that you will listen
Your touch is what I'm missing
And the more I hide I realize I'm slowly losing you

Comatose
I'll never wake up without an overdose of you

I don't wanna live
I don't wanna breathe
'les I feel you next to me
you take the pain I feel
waking up to you never felt so real
I don't wanna sleep
I don't wanna dream
'cause my dreams don't comfort me
The way you make me feel
Waking up to you never felt so real

I hate living without you
Dead wrong to ever doubt you
But my demons lay in waiting
Tempting me away
Oh how I adore you
Oh how I thirst for you
Oh how I need you

Comatose
I'll never wake up without an overdose of you

Breathing life
Waking up
My eyes open up

Comatose
I'll never wake up without an overdose of you

Oh how I adore you
Waking up to you never felt so real
Oh how I thirst for you
Waking up to you never felt so real
Oh how I adore you, ohhhh
The way you make me feel
Waking up to you never felt so real.

At the end, Yūrei continues through his song list until someone walks up to the door.

Finished this chapter. To those who may be confused, Yūrei is the primary character that'll be in this story, while O'Neill during the military operations and likely important events. So Ja ne.
