Shiki thinking he was dead, laid there for a long time, in his weird coffin, it wasn't like he couldn't be in  daylight, it was more like he prefers night.

Although he was of every species but human, even though he had humanity in him. He could hear people knocking at it, he could also hear the new generations of his friends that were their ancestors.

Annoyed that he  was getting woken up, was beyond annoying to him, being awoken from his slumber, before it was time pissed him off.

As he lay there, he could hear the echoes of the

past, ringing in his ear, along with the new times of current present.

He sighed, like old times, and he slid the top of the coffin off, he sat up slowly, feeling bored. He then tilted his head, and looked to see that he wasn't in,  graveyard or in a krypt, but he was in a familiar house. He looked around, and it seemed a bit warm, With light, but it seemed to be in a dungeon, he raised a brow, not knowing what to think.

As he stood up, he looked over to a shiny item, that seemed to show his reflection, and it was like the humans playing a joke. He noticed he had make up on his face, as if he was one of the dead.

He put his legs over the edge, standing up, his long, black, curly hair slid down in waves around him, as he shook out all the flowers.

He stood up, he looked around, seeing why it was a warm light but it was dark, because there was no natural light, and the light that was in there was all flame light.

Then as he stretched, feeling cooped up, he heard and felt a rip, he looked down curious, and instantly knew. He tsked, ripping it the rest of the buttoned up shirt and jacket, he hated the pants to, but he didn't want to leave naked. He wondered why he was even in a suit, then he wondered if that was how they treated their heros, or icons?  Everyone knew shiki wore leather, or silk, he never wore the churchy modern mafia clothing everyone else wore, and he didn't know why they dressed him up in it.

As his feet gradually touched the cold stone floor, he took a deep breath, and blew it out, as a click happened, opening the doors to letting him out.

He then looked around seeing the eternal flames, as he raised his hand, bring them into his hands like a magnet calling another magnet.

Taking the flaming lights with him. Since he had been confined for years, he didn't realize his powers was out of control. As he took a step, it looked like he was walking on water, because ever step he took, it lit up a little, and there was a small ripple like he was walking on water with each step.

As he looked around, everything seem go crumble slowly, not leaving a trace that he was ever there.

As just walked out of the smallest part of the dungeon, he felt something warm grab him, his golden purple eyes looked to the direction he was being pulled, and there he saw two men.

He found them kind of intriguing, as he looked back at the door, that he had come from, he realized it was a krypt to keep him frozen, how interesting, so they meant to keep him locked away, that actually kind of pissed him off, considering he had saved the human race, from his own father.

Shiki was a god, but he wasn't the god they prayed to. He could however do things that made people do a double take, or their jaws drop.

“Aye… Your dead…” The one male said, as Shiki raised a brow at them.

He then turned, walking towards them, the men backed up so much that, their backs hit the wall.

Shiki's lips curved up from a smile, going into a snarl.

“Uhm...is it just me...or is he looking us like he is hungry?” One of the guards said.

“Well...he has been asleep for along time...and you did just pulled at a beasts attention...while in midhunt...didnt your mom ever tell you not to call out to a lion?” The second said.

“Yeah….but this man isn't a lion...he looks human…” The first said.

“Does he look human?...you never grab a beast's attention especially when they are him...shiki..and I told all of you guys, having him put here was a bad idea…” The first gruffed as he snapped his fingers at shik.

As the man grabbed his attention, as the other peed himself, shiki looked from between the two, as he licks his lips. Running his tongue over his fangs, “Get out of here, you are making things better”

“What and you are?”

“Says the person that grabbed his attention first idiot, now get out of her before I kill you myself, if I get put of here alive.” The second said as he and shiki played the stare down.

“True...I do have a family…”

“Will you just get out of here?!” The first guard yelled making the second run up the stairs and out of the there.

“You are either an idiot...or push over...I'm very hungry...and you are the only human down here...give me a good reason not to devour you?” Shiki whispered in a slight growl.

“Shiki you knew my ancestors, lucian..he would have loved to see you awake...but unfortunately, he was killed by his own son, because that kid got greedy...he said you would remember the kid...he put me in his place instead, and said you had a lot of missions to go on, he told me I'm here to help.” The man said.

“I'm sorry to hear that, he was a good man...but again why aren't you running?” He asked in a whispered, his fangs on full display.

“Because, I'm your guard, my family has worked with your family for years...I also have food and clothes… You know blood in a bag always fresh every time I come down here in case you wake up...this now under a families home...because they built over your krypt.” The man said as he cleared his throat pausing, “Also I have a pair of keys for s car, and an apartment, once you get blood in your system we can get going sir.” He said as handed the man a bottle with a cork.

Shiki raised a brow, wondering if the man was trying to get him drunk, shiki let his eyes turn to slits, “What makes you think I trust you?” Shiki whispered softly still loud enough for the man to hear but low enough to not get heard by humans.

“Do you remember the nun who gave up her religion her life and friends and beliefs for you?”

“Yes...just what are you trying to imply?”

“I'm not implying anything...but what I am saying is that, after she did that bloodline became a protector over you...to make sure you can settle in...or to make sure you don't get killed...you are the only ancient immortal left that came from all the gods...I don't mean that Greek gods...or the Nords I mean higher...or so the story goes of your past.”

“Just how do you know my past?”

“That woman wrote everything down about you so we know how to approach you and get what you need to survive, she also started training us, since our bloodline is no longer human...but not as powerful as yours...its just enough to protect you from humans and get you to blend in...and we are the clean up when you have wars.”

“Hmm alright you get one chance to prove your worth, and if I deem your worth I will vanquish you and your bloodline...got it?” Shiki said in a growlish whisper.

“That's all I ask...now drink up, we can't afford you to be drinking directly from humans, this isn't the eighteen hundreds and older...you will get sick from this...we have to check how pure the blood is...what with all the experiments your father and the human scientist did, we don't trust the human blood in your system...Because it could be a sick joke from your father, and we can't afford you dead.”

“Alright...I will listen sometimes...but your right about that one...I just feel like us in my teeth to rip some heads off...if you know what I mean.” He said as he used his fang to pull the cork and brought the bottle to his lips.

“Yeah...from the past it's written down that you wake up cranky when forced to wake up, if you have nothing to eat or drink...plus the noise will get worse so get prepared.” The man paused and then he looked at the stairs, “We better get going before they  come back...I will not be needing this job anymore since you are awake...let's go” he said as the man started up the stairs.

As Shiki got up the stairs, he could smell them, the people that always hunted him, they hid as family members, children, scientists, anything human, they used as an identity to come after him.

As he pulled the man, he finished off the bottle and clashed it against the stone, cold, hard floor.

His feet still bare, the only one couldn't be harmed was the one male on his side. As he got closer and closer to the main flour, he could smell their foul stench, their evil and whatever else a wild beast can smell.

As the man began to ask he shushed the man, as he stood there, wondering where his weapons were and his leather duster, he rolled his eyes growling lowly remembering slightly where they were. As he read their mind he knew instantly, and he didnt want them to see him coming. So he crawled up the wall like a spider and up to the ceiling of the dungeon. and used his claw as it extended to a giant..he turn cut through it, using his powers for force. As it was finished putting enough space for him and the man to get through, but he has a feeling the man wasn't a man, cause the voice and the body figure, he almost smirked.

As he used his telekinesis, to pull the cut parts down, he turn picked up the “man” and he them hold on to him, wrapping their legs and arms around him, he could hear their heartbeat and their fast adrenaline breathing as it became shallow at first then fast. As if they were starting to get scared.

As they made it through, he put the “man” through first, then he last, and when the “man” almost dropped his stuff, Shiki fast reflexes he grabbed it.

He continued to do that until he got to the attic, as he checked around seeing and feeling no one was there, only them. He put down the “man” and looked around where he saw his weapons were at, seeing them, he looked at his duster, he licked his fangs.

He put on on his duster, and put his weapons in their compartments in his duster, then he looked at the “man” realizing he would be better at his side, yeah with these monsters, yeah probably.

“Let's go...we can't stay here too long, we might have enough time to give them the element of surprise...these aren't your typical mortals or immortals...these are my enemy...and I'm the only one who can take them down….because they can't be killed by mortal things…”

“Yeah...it was in the diary...the only thing it said...was to back you up where ever you need and never leave your side,  and listen to every command.”

“Good...also your weapons can stunt it..just not kill it...and it only lasts for a seconds...and that's enough time for me to recover if I'm ever in a bad situations...just a future heads up.”

“So it's true...you can't die?”

“Yeah...I never lied to that woman...I couldn't ….no matter how I tried...haha..she always saw right through me..sh.” He whispered as he could hear them sniffing, he quickly picked the “man” up and he could tell he had a woman's body, but they didnt have time to discuss that

As he picked up the “man” he slung him over his back, and then closed his eyes, and then he quickly and quietly jumped through the holes to the main floor. As he landed on his feet quietly, he then looked over, he noticed he was in a room, he cracked the door open a little, he could see a family sitting at the table. Men near the walls, and it looked to be about a big family feast, he didnt seem to realize his powers were unstable, he noticed they were sniffing for him.

As he smirked he turned around and put his hand over the “man's” lips keeping them quiet. As the “man” looked up at shiki, he listened to them talking.

“Well you had the dream...you fruit cake..you having wet dreams now?”

“Just what does that mean?”

“It means...he is still sleeping...and you need to stop dreaming about the freak...and stay off the juice.”

“The only juice I'm on is orange juice...what are you smoking…”

“Only thing I smoke is a cigar..oh by the way..have you been down there?...there was a human running up here so damn fast...you would've thought he saw a damn ghost.”

“Yeah...we best go check on it...the boss might not be too happy if he sees anything wrong...and if the man is up and awake...we got problems…”

Seeing the two smacking at each other as they went down the stairs to the dungeon, Shiki opened the door more quietly as they snuck out, he let the human step out, shiki could see his old home had been destroyed or put into a museum. That made him kind of agitated, was this all he got after saving the humans from his father's reign? That actually kind of set his triggers off.

“Now Shiki...you need to stay calm.”

“What makes you think I am pissed?”

“My blood feels like its burning kind of...and your powers, it's messing with that surroundings...I may not be slightly human...but I am mostly human...and its even messing...Shiki!!!”

They were interrupted, shiki just looked as he raised a brow, he chuckled a bit, seeing his arch enemy holding what belonged him, he almost wanted to explode...but he wasn't going to show that. His hair started to float up a little, hr smirked as he licked his lips he wanted to play anyway.

“Human...once I free you...go get the car that you brought...and don't be late...I don't like it when my ride is late.” He stated as they human nodded.

“Is that all you think about?..Is about me being late? In a situation like this?” The human said.

“Well...murder actually...but I don't think you want blood all over you...nor do you want to see or smell or hear what happens next.” He stated as the human actually seemed to agree.

“Okay...you got me there...you promise I won't Die here?” Shiki widened his eyes being as serious as serious could get.

“I promise...for if I don't get you out alive...i will train your successor...and protect your family just as I have promised all these years..I owe your ancestor everything..that book only has some of the things about her and I...and maybe sometime I will tell you about...now enough talk...before you get killed before I can save you.” He said as the human voiced his agree in a hum.

“Are you done...so we can play?...Shiki how long you gonna save these pathetic humans? You betrayed your own to save the world with your sister...where is she now?” Shiki growled at that as his upper lip turn into a grimace.

“You might want to shut up dude...I may only be human..but I can tell you...he is not week...and he will kill you if you mention her around.” The human said, as shiki blinked, almost as if the human reminded him of someone.

“What do you know...you are only human...you are pathetic...fall for his appearance...and false nicety..he is a freak..the moment you deem useless he will kill you..like he a few others” Shiki growled as enemy mentioned the others.

“Yeah...at least he is honest..and he already told me that…..also you would be surprised on what I know.” The human blinked along with enemy and shiki was gone.

As Shiki disappeared, the human didnt notice he was behind them until the human heard something weird “human..go now...you got 10 seconds...by the time you get back I will already be outside and waiting for you...now go.”

“Okay..but don't drink from them...please...remember what happened last time Shiki..” The human said, as shiki's eyes turned to slits.

“Yeah...don't remind me..Now go before I let you get killed..and I won't change my mind you annoying little thing.” He stated slightly in a harsher tone as he flinched himself.

He didnt have time to be nice..but he will apologize to the human later, he removed his knife from humans neck finishing the slice all the way through letting the head fall off and roll to the floor.

As he watched the human leave..he smiled

He watched as the guardian left, after making a path for them. He then saw all of the baring teeth, he put away his sword and kept his eyes a dead cold look, as h could see them coming at him.

Barely noticeable to everyone but he dodged, as as s they all blinked, confused as to how he wasn't damaged, Because normally he would have been in the past and they knew it. His body gave off a hueish glow, as he spun and kicked one of them, making them fly back.

Shiki not even breaking a sweat, his gave was cold, methodical, destructive, he needed to get back he had things he needed to do. As he saw more of them coming at him, he snapped his fingers as they screamed, burning into flames before turning into ash. his hair moved in the air around him, his curled fluffing up a bit, as he disappeared, and reappeared, seeing them all burning into ash. As he walked slowly down the hall everything started to light up in blue flames, just as his enemies were coming st him he looked and they burned.

But then someone came at him with a blade and he could feel it coming, Because it was his own sword, he laughed, as she spun around and kicked the guy in the chin, making his jaw dislocate.

“There is a problem with your logic..I can feel him coming, and he doesn't kill his owner.” He said as the male burned to ash and then nothing.

Shiki moved a little forward seeing bullets fly, his eyes changed colors, as the bullets stopped running around in mid shot, then shot back at them kill in them. licked his lips as he grabbed his last blade and put it in coat as well.

He then let the fires spread, walking out of house, as the house exploded, making his hair and duster rise up a bit. Shiki then saw the guardian, “male” which he was pretty sure it was female, he sighed as he disappeared.

Then as he appeared on the driver's side, he saw her looking for him, he wanted to laugh, but he didnt have time “Move over...I'm driving.” He stated as he opened the door, the guardian looked at him skeptically.

“Do you even know how to drive?” The male asked.

“Not really hard to figure it out, since I drove these weird things before.now buckle up or hang on to something.” He said as he threw her a gun that he picked up.

As he threw a gun at her getting to get her to shoot he saw the guardian was getting most of them, be he could see there was a big difference between the gun their powers. He then growled as eyes glowed and vines started to come up from the grounds, pulling them under. He smirked as he turned and dodged the cops trying to hit him.

“Where are we going now?” The guardian said, as shiki got series.

“Two things...Secra and the mother of my children.” He said as they started to get to a safe place.

From the darkness of the alleyway close by her husband's crypt. It had been the same since she had him placed within the walls. Selina had stood guard over his body, making sure that none of his enemies had tried to take his body. Keeping herself out of sight with her hand upon her sword beneath her cloak. She wasn't the same woman she had been.

Since he was taken from her that night and her gravely wounded in the war,  she knew she had to recover and train as.hard to for the twins Raven and Noel. They had grown up fast in the mortal world. 

Something was up this night of all nights as she krept closer in the shadows, she picked up the scent of an ancient. Only one person, she knew of. It was him, Tenkai, her husband. As she listened, she could hear him talk to another male. Feeling his emotions and thoughts. A hand rose to her throat as she thumbed the necklace he had given her the first time they.met.
