When Ryuu woke up, it was already noon.

He felt something soft near his cheek, which gave him a pleasured smile, grinning from ear to ear.

When he opened his eyes, what he saw was was a silky pure white blanket that felt like a smooth fur.

Unable to resist its attractive feeling, he jumped on top of the blanket and started rolling around.

- "Mmmh, it's so soft. Aahh this is so nice, I can't stop, help!" he thought to himself while enjoying silky smooth blanked and rolling in it like a pancake.

Rolled in the blanket he suddenly remembered something.

At that moment, his look wandered off through a window into the colorful forest.

- "I wonder where is that fox now. It's so cute, I have to find it for sure this time!" he resolved himself.

He stood up and glanced through the window staring blankly.

If someone saw him at that time, he would certainly seem like a grown-up man thinking about his past, but he's merely a two-year-old child.

That kind of scene would definitely perplex someone if he saw it.

When Ryuu noticed his own appearance, his soul almost flew out and turned around panic-stricken.

- "Crap! I almost forgot that I am only 2 years old now. That was close, luckily nobody saw me." the thought passed while he pondered about something.

- "I have to know more about this world as soon as possible. I'll ask parents to go out and play for a bit longer today." he thought to himself as he grinned with a cute smile.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

- "Mom, dad, thanks for the blanket!" Ryuu shouted while running down the stairs to his parents.

- "We are glad you like it hehe, come 'ere". A figure picked up little kid running towards her.

- "Why did you buy it though?"

- "Silly child, that's not something you should care about. As long as you like it, it's all good", said Haruhi with a gentle smile on her face.

- "That's right Ryuu, you are still small and you shouldn't care about those kinds of things. Did you sleep well?" A melodious male voice said with a kind tone.

- "Yep, it's very comfy hehe, thank you." a petite sincere smile appeared on his face.

- "So what are you going to do now?"

- "I wanna go play a little deeper in the forest mom! Can I? Please?"

Ryuu asked opening his eyes wide like an excited kid. Enchanting purple eyes with long eyelashes were the ultimate weapon of this little fellow.

- "You little rascal, how can I say no to those eyes? You can, but don't go far inside the forest, okay?"

- "Yes!" a small cute shout escaped his mouth.

- "But why can't I go deeper?" he asked curiously.

At this time his father interrupted.

- "Ryuu-chan you can't go inside since it's very dangerous. That forest is the biggest one in our region and there are a lot of spirit beasts inside so you shouldn't go too far yet. After you awaken your spirit completely, we will talk again." his father interrupted.


- "Dad, have you seen a real spirit beast?" his curiosity surged to peak when he heard that.

- "Yes, but you are too young now so there is no going inside. They are very dangerous and some will even attack you first. If you see one, run as fast as you can!".

- "Okay dad, got it. I'll be super super careful. Mmh, I definitely will!" Ryuu said while straightening his back looking like a little man there which made his parents laugh.

- Looking after their kid running off cheerfully, Haruhi shouted: "Ryuu don't get dirty again or you will get a beating this time!".

- "Okay mom, I promise!" little voice rang out from some distance away.

- "He is certainly energetic like you, Aito." she said looking discontented.

- Aito embraced his wife from behind and slowly whispered near her ear "Why are you sulking Haruhi-chan, it's good for his growth hehe". following up with a peck on a cheek.

- "No fair, you always use that trick to put me off!!"

- "Don't worry he's our son, even if he did encounter a spirit beast, he can't get hurt for sure ... and you know it too."

- "I do but, I feel uneasy when I think of the fact that we can't see him. What if someone takes him away? What will we do if he gets lost?".

- "Are you forgetting what happened when he was born?" he said and straightened up like standing up to heavens and earth, immovable and palatial like a mountain. "The proud Asura never bends to any law, and him, well, he's a bit special. Although you probably didn't know, even I can't see through his soul."

- "That!" she exclaimed in shock.

- "How is that possible?!" she had a look of disbelief on her face.

- "I have no idea but our son would surpass us both, be sure of that."

- "Yes, I'm sure he will be fine but did you find a reason why you can't see through his soul?"

Aito silently shook head and filled his eyes with a proud look.

- "If I can't, then there is no person capable of doing it on this world. We, proud Asuras will always be the strongest!" he muttered aloud and grinned from ear to ear.

- "Asura this Asura that, are you forgetting about your dear wife?"

- "How could I, you fool?" he looked into her deep blue eyes and not long after their lips fell on each other surrounded by fluttering sakura petals, riding the wind and singing a song of life like they share their love and happiness.

- "So sweet kuku." Aito said as he stole a glance at bright red Haruhi in his bosom.

- "Fool, my big fool! I love you Aito."

- "I love you too, my little princess." he said and looked at the sky, reminiscing about the night his child came to this world.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

- "Aito, do you think it'll be a boy or a girl?"

- "I don't know but I'm sure our child will be very strong."

- "Why are you so sure, you said that a million times but never gave a reason?"

Aito looked up and pointed at the sky "Do you want to see it?"

- "What?"

- "A reason."

- "You mean ..."

- "Yes, I can see it, but it's something out of our league, our son will surely be influenced by it. I don't know why but I have that feeling"

- "Quickly, show me!"

A strong vortex twisted and powerful consciousness spread to Haruhi from her husband transmitting everything he feels directly to her.

- "That ..... what is that!?"

- "That's divine soul, the strongest kind any universe can contain. Although I don't know why it appeared in the fourth dimension but as a matter of fact, no one besides me can sense it. I have a feeling that it's related to our son somehow but I'm not sure why I feel like that."

- "Well, I'm sure! I'm definitely sure. That bright point has the same aura as this little fellow here." She said pointing to the baby in her womb.

- "Really?" Aito inquired excitedly.

- "Yes, I'm definitely sure... aaaaaaaaahhhh!!!". She started screaming all of a sudden making Aito panic-stricken and rushing near her instantly.

- "What's wrong?" He asked in a worried tone.

- "It's coming, I felt it kick and, and then something broke." she started panting and breathing hard. "Baby's going to be born soon, quickly prepare everything!!"

After a while...

- "It's coming out! Aito here it comes!" Haruhi's pained voice yelled.

- "Haruhi, push. Take a deep breath and push slowly I will help you circulate energy and ease the pain." Aito said rushing near Haruhi and placing his warm palm on her belly.

All of a sudden a loud thunderbolt pierced the roof of their house frightening Haruhi and Aito. A split second later nine dragons emanating nine-colored shockwaves appeared in the room painting whole room in nine colored halos and circling above them. However, an unexpected event took place; one pitch black dragon pierced in the middle falling right above Haruhi's womb and coiling around the heart of a soon-to-be-born baby. It was as fast as lightning and completely unstoppable leaving Aito with no slightest chance to guard his wife against it.

Aito jumped frightened trying to shield his wife but divine dragons could not be affected like they didn't exist in their plane at all. Aito then remembered about nine-colored sphere he saw and soon a wild idea popped up in his heart.

Haruhi's painful panting suddenly stopped and she didn't feel any pain as the energy from nine dragons surrounded her, bathing her in the comfortable aura and vigorous power which after a few breaths condensed into a pin sized sphere of nine colored light and slowly submerged to her womb.

Aito, having his idea confirmed, fiercely turned around looking at the same direction in the sky where the divine soul previously was, with eyes widened and overflowing with disbelief.

- "Could it really be ... no, it's impossible, this ... how can this be???"

Haruhi's mouth was already in 'O' shape and her jaw almost hit the floor trembling with mixed emotions. "Is it really ... those dragons... no way!" she glanced to her belly and started trembling even harder. It's not only her who trembled, but Aito also fell on his knees losing all the power to support him. But a surge of power filled him from strong energy that appeared a while ago.

Having absorbed it he regained his strength a bit and then like a loud thunder he started laughing;

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA THIS IS MAGNIFICENT! Our child has a d-divine soul! Hahahahahahahaha, Haruhi we hit the jackpot I love you so much hahahahaha" Aito was roaring loudly seeming like a madman going crazy and occasionally looking at his wife with teary crimson eyes that radiated happy and vicious aura.

After a few moments, he calmed down, "How do you feel? Is everything okay with your body, quick let me see!". Aito came near his wife sensing her body condition. As soon as his consciousness came in contact with a little sphere in her abdomen, he shook fiercely like he was struck by lightning.

After the sudden change, he took his mental strength back and caught his breath calming down again.

Haruhi saw her husband in an unstable state so she reassured him that she and baby are both fine dissipating a little remaining worry in his heart

- "I'm perfectly fine and there is no more pain." She remained silent for a few moments looking at her bulging stomach and then "Did that really happen? Oh my ... I still can't believe it." she uttered once more.

As Aito was preparing to hug her, melodious but quiet dragon roar reverberated and then ... "Waaaaaa .... uwaaaaa" a crying baby sound entered their ears.

Both Haruhi and Aito smiled as if there was no tomorrow looking at their newborn child filled with endless love.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

As Aito remembered all those scenes, his soul trembled once more.

He knew how oppressing those nine dragons were first-hand, but what filled him with fear the most is that one black dragon that pierced like lightning.

In that instant, he felt like everything in surroundings stagnated and prostrated itself to the black dragon.

Having remembered what took place then, he looked at his wife again and reassured her once more.

"Yeah, he certainly won't have any matter hahahaha!"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, in a colorful forest little boy was cheerfully running and singing a song making surroundings seeping with emotions.

His song wasn't clearly recognizable in a matter of words, but emotions carried all their meaning to all living beings in his vicinity.

Plants and trees lightly swayed towards him seeming like dancing to the melody of his song.

When Ryuu noticed this he stopped and looked around himself for some time determining the position where he is currently.

He calculated that his current position is still near the edge of this big forest so he decided to take a quick break before going deeper.

Ryuu found a good place leaning on a nearby tree and started thinking about his previous world.

His mind began wandering into the distance somewhere beyond the bounds of the world "I never knew your wish coming true would feel like this. I don't even miss my old world anymore heh~." he thought, glancing to the sky.

The sky on this planet was a bit special, different from Earth.

There were nine planets in a total of which four or five were always visible regardless of time.

The sky had unreal feeling saturated by several colors blending together which reminded him of Aurora on Earth.

Unlike his previous planet, this one did not have sun - it was revolving around a black hole multiple times bigger in diameter than any of the planets surrounding it.

Disregarding the fact that there was no sun, it was still bright and warm from the excess energy in black hole's accretion disc.

Ryuu looked at black hole twisting surrounding space and leaving only darkness behind.

Looking at that marvelous sight Ryuu secretly decided that he'll become very strong so that he can explore the vast space and fulfill all the wishes he had from the previous world that he had no chance to complete.

As Ryuu was immersed in his thoughts a familiar sense surged in his heart prompting him to glance to the nearby forest.

There stood one petite spirit beast staring at him with its head near the ground, seeming like it would pounce any second.

When he saw that figure, he was filled with joy - it was a little white fox not longer than half a meter, meaning that it was still a cub.

But his happiness was for the fact that it was the same fox he chased previously.
