Bell knew that alot of the times when she got the family together that it ended badly, but hopefully today would be better. She'd even made it fullproof by inviting Kai. Yes, with Kai everyone would behave, she hoped. Setting down the picnic blanket she stated to place the rest of the items down. "Everyone will be here," she said quietly. "The entire family." Last time she'd only invited Sui, Kraven, Micah, and Kenjiro, but Sukai, Kai, and Tenkuu deserved to come as well. Sitting down once she finished she gave a plesant smile. "Ahh, this is more like it." She giggled and laid back.

Micah didn't want to see his brother, nor his father. But his mother meant tthe world to him, so that was why he was going, and Kai hadn't seen her family in a while. Walking up with his daughter beside him, he'd picked her up from Takashi's house, he smiled down at his mother. "Hello mom." He said before sitting down. "Guess who I brought."

(lots of names!)

Kai jumped around as she was led to the picnic. Her eyes bright and her very essence bursting with joy. When Micah came to a stop she ran into him with a small laugh. "Ooops." she giggled before running to Bell. "Grandma Bell!" She said hugging her. "I missed you!" She then looked around. "Where is everyone else?" She asked.

Kenjiro walked toward them,several bags hanging from each arm."Hello Bell,Micah,Kai,"he said,smiling to them all.He was happy that Bell had decided to do this,since no one had had a break in a while.Plus,it might allow everyone a chance to become friendly and any thoughts against ones being could be eliminated.

Micah smiled as Kai greeted her grandmother. It then disappeared as Kenjiro came up. "Hello Kenjiro." He said. Micah never chose to call Kenjiro his father. He wouldn't because the guy pissed him off. He hated him. Because Kenjiro had married his mother, he was not full vampire. But his mother was once human before Kraven came along. He hated his blood.

Sukai had somehow gotten word of this picnic and didn't know why he was invited, but he didn't care. It was family from both sides which made him feel all the more loved seeing as though he was adopted. Walking up he waved to the gathering group. "Hello Kenjiro and Bell, long time no see Micah, look at Kai haven't you grown." He had a smile on his face, the vampire/human quarrels had no affect on him.

Suri walked up behind micah"hello everyone" he said as he sat down next a to a tree.suri hated the sun when ever it was shining out"so how has it been going everyone"suri asked as he looked at the bags."sukai you are too?i thought you wouldn't make since you stay traveling and by the way how is it travel?"suri asked

Kai jumped up. "Grandpa!" She said and went to hug him when she saw the bags. "Is there something in there for me," she asked. Her eyes shinning with glee. She then saw Suri. "Uncle Suri!" She ran over and gave him a hug. "Where've you been," she asked. Kai loved to see her family. "Hello Sukai," she said.

Bell became delighted at the arrival of her son and grandaughter. "Hello dearie," she said to Kai, wrapping the little angel in a hug. She then let her go and went over to Micah. "My haven't you grown," she said as she hugged. She wasn't sure if she could hug everyone who was coming in. "Sukai, my, I haven't seen you since you last came into the Vallies." She hugged him too before moving on to Suri. "I've missed you," she said. "I'm so glad you quit the Akatsuki and joined the villages, you'll have to tell me all about it," she said. Bell finally went over to Kenjiro and gave him a hug and kiss. "Sorry," she said. "Had to greet the kids first," she told him. She was sure he'd understand.

Kenjiro nodded with a smile."Understandable,"he said,giving her a kiss back before setting the stuff down."Yep,"he told Kai as she hugged him.He looked through the bags and found the purple crystal necklace he'd had made for her.It was like his but this one had the crystals rounded out into pearl shapes instead of his oddly shaped crystal like shape."Kai,here.This is for you,"he said,smiling.Just like his,it could store chakra in it and,because she was Micah's child,she had the ability of using the Secret Moon Arts,just like he and Micah did,though Micah had no idea about his.He knew he'd have to teach her the technique someday,though,but he was happy to do that.

Micah looked to his older brother who was sitting up under a tree. He walked over to him and sat next to him. "Hello Suri," Micah said. He looked over to Kai who was getting acquainted with her family. Micah sighed then looked at his brother. "I was thinking, would you be willing to help me?" He asked. "I've got some thing I need help with you, and was wandering if I could rely on you?" Micah looked closely at his brother. How could he have ever hated him?

Kraven was tense as he approached the group. He had a strict fear for his youngest son and an even stricter one for his oldest. Micah may not have been his blood son, but he claimed him. Looking at the boy he could see him talking to Suri. "Don't get involved," he whispered quietly, though none of the boys could hear him. Putting on a smile he went over and picked up Kai. "You've grown," he said and took her over to Bell and Kenjiro. "It's good to see you Bell, hello Kenjiro." Kraven was good at behaving only when it came to family, well, Kai atleast, she was still young. "Sukai, you came, it's good to know you could make it, how've you been?"

Tenkuu showed up a few moments later wearing a smile upon her face. She was surprised they had time for a family gathering when all the talk about war was going on. But family was afterall important. She gave a small wave and hurried over to Sukai. "Ages," she whispered with a teasing smile. She looked to Bell. "Thank you so much for this."

Bell shook her head with a small laugh. "I do what I can," she said. "Family means alot to me, that's why I try and get everyone together, even through the hard times." Bell was happy go lucky. She sat down on the blanket and looked at the family. "I wonder where Takashi is, I'm sure I invited him," she said thoughtfully. "Kai sweetie, is your grandfather coming?" She asked.

Suri looked at micah as he ask a favor of him"yes brother you can always rely on me"suri said getting up to move further away"come lets talk in private"suri said as he pulled micah to his feet"Now what do you have to tell me"suri said as he checked to see if anyone was in earshot of the two of them

Kai looked at the necklace, her eyes large in amazement. "Wow Grandpa, this is awesome," she said. "Just wiat til I show Kazuya and Kymir!" She put the necklace around her neck. She giggled as Kraven picked her up. "Just wait, one day I'll be as tall as you," she said. Kai then twisted to see Bell. "Grandpa Takashi? I don't know, my dad picked me up while Grandpa wasn't at home," she said.

Takashi came up with a smug look. He didn't want to be here. For one he didn't care for any of these people except Kai because she was living with him, and therefore was his responsibility. Kenjiro he was okay with, as well as Jutsumaster's kids. Bell had never done him wrong so he held no grudges. It was natural for him to dislike Kraven, he was the king of vampire, and Takashi the king of the wolves. They had an understanding. Suri, now Takashi knew him in the Akatsuki, and never once had a problem with him, but the guy was a leech, and Takashi didn't like leeches. Then there was Micah, that was the last person Takashi cared to see. The guy had gone mad and was putting lives at stake. "Hello Bell, Kenjiro, Kraven," he spoke to the adults. He looked at the others. Yes Bell's two boys were in their mid twenties, but they were all in that kid of someone here group. "Children," he said with a smile.

Kraven's expression became more or so somber as he saw Suri get up and tell Micah to follow. This was not good, at all. But he could not stop the boys at this moment. Someone else was coming. He looked over and spotted Takashi. The somber look was replaced by disgust. "Filthy wolves," he said under his breath. "Hello Takashi." This had to be one messed up family.

Bell was glad to see her boys were talking again. The last time they were at each others throats. She smiled and looked up to Takashi. "Welcome Takashi," she said. She then softly laugh at Kraven's remark. It was rude, but the thought tickled her. Wolves and vampires mixing. It was a miracle to her, though others believed it to be a disastor. Bad blood to say the least. "Alright everyone, let's sit down and eat," she called unwrapping the food.

Micah let his brother pull him to his feet. He was glad to know his brother had not abandoned him. Micah followed Suri until they were away from the others. "Listen, I'm planning on making a deal with the Akatsuki, I wanted to know if you want in," he said. "You see, with them on the rise, I can't have the Snow falling like the Death, so how about it. You want to keep your village out of harms way?" He glanced back at his mother who was calling for them to eat. "She can wait," he said waiting his brother's answer.

Kenjrio began moving toward the table,glancing at Micah and Suri,having there secret conversation.He hoped it wasn't anything serious that they were talking about.He decided to wait and see if anything occurred and went to the table,feeling a bit of tension but none,or at least at the moment none,was pointed to him.He went to the food to help Bell fix it out for anyone.

Kai ran around in circles. She wished that Kymir and Kazuya was here so she could play with them. She was the only kid here. She gave a sniffle and then started fighting an imaginary being until Bell said the food was ready. "Yes!" She said. Kai went over to the table and climbed onto the bench. "Looks great!" She said.

Tenkuu went over to the table and sat on the end of the bench. It was nice to have a day off. She looked at Kenjiro. "So, tell me all about the Crested, I've never been there," she said. Her eyes were wide with curiosity. She pushed her short hair behind her ears. Tenkuu loved to hear about adventures and new places. That was why she wasn't as upset to here Sukai was becoming a traveler. Kind of like Sky.

Kenjiro began fixing Kai a plate of a little of everything,before handing it to her with a smile.He looked at Tenkuu when she asked him the question."It's really amazing.It's a bit different from the original Moon village.It's surrounded by mountains on the back end,which makes it protected from behind,"he explained."You can see the moon rise and set every night,even during a storm.I should know,"he said,laughing a bit.

Sukai sat down next to his little sister and listened to Kenjiro as he spoke. "Sounds like a real place," he said. "Maybe I'll stop by with Hiro some time." Sukai said with a slick grin. He then started to fix himself a plate and began to eat. "Bell, you're a real cook," He told her. He then looked at Tenkuu and shoved her in the side lightly. "Hey Kenji, how'd you come upon the Crested anyway?"
