Alfea

"It's getting late, shouldn't they be back by now?" Flora inquires, worried.

"Don't worry, I'm sure they'll be back any minute," Musa reassure before the trio hear the whirring of a familiar ship.

"They're here!" Tecna exclaims as she, Flora, Musa and Piff all rush outside to greet their friends. The girls squeal in excitement and they hug each other after running out the ship before some of the pixies realised that they met their bonded fairy. Digit to Tecna, Tune to Musa and Chatta to Flora.

"Guys, we need to go see Faragonda," Kaneki reminds, Faith sitting on his shoulder. "She needs to know about that paladin guy that saved us from the Trix."

"But it's the middle of the night," Stella whined, "I'm tired."

"Stella's right. Besides, she's probably asleep, we'll speak to her in the morning," Bloom suggest.

"Fine," Kaneki chose not to object since he, himself, was quite tired. "Come on, Faith, I'll show you my room which is now yours," Kaneki says as he heads to his room, but instead of receiving an answer, he heard snoring, Faith had fallen asleep on his shoulder. Kaneki smiled softly before continuing the trek to his room, making sure that Faith didn't slip.

The Next Morning

Faragonda's Office 

Faragonda sent out a message to the Winx and Kaneki to come to her office in the morning. Kaneki was the first to arrive, he left a note for Faith who was still sleeping. Kaneki explained what happened in Downland and the fight against the Trix who received power ups from Lord Darkar.

Faragonda mulled over this new information, "This is getting dangerous. The girls were immediately overpowered by the Trix and you were distracted by Stella which led to your defeat. There's no doubt about it, you all need to focus on your studies."

There was a knock at the door so Faragonda invites the person in, it was the girls.

"You called for us, Faragonda?" Bloom inquires.

"What are you doing here already?" Stella questions.

"Informing Faragonda about the mission," Kaneki replies before smirking, "don't worry, I'm giving you the honour of explaining how you were the weak link of the group, constantly being drained of power and all."

"Grr," Stella growls, irked.

"Enough. First I would like to congratulate you on completing your last mission successfully and express my relief at your safe return," Faragonda tells them. "After close examination of the evidence brought forth by Kaneki, we must conclude that our enemy is much stronger than we initially thought. Watch closely," Faragonda advises, she clicked her her fingers and a magical screen appeared showing the fall of Domino. "16 years ago, the entire dimension of Magix was on the brink of destruction, a dark and evil emerged from the void and this was the result."

"But it was the three old witches who destroyed my home planet, Domino. Isn't that what you told me?" Bloom questions, confused.

"Yes, but in truth, they were just carrying out the orders of the shadow creature who had managed to recruit the help of those 3 old witches," Faragonda explains, "but today it has the threat of the Trix to. I'm afraid that history is threatening to repeat itself."

"Are you saying the thing that did all this was the one who kidnapped all the pixies?" Aisha questions.

"Considering the description of the monsters, the spells that were cast and the transformations into the shadow phoenix, it could only be Lord Darkar."

"Why is he back? What could he be trying to achieve?" Tecna questions.

"The three witches were stopped by Griffin Saladin and myself. The Lords of Templar dealt with Lord Darkar, they cast him into a deep slumber."

"That must mean that Lord Darkar wants revenge," Flora realises.

"Correct, he also wants all the power in the universe as to be absolutely invincible," Faragonda cautions.

"Then why did he kidnap the pixies?" Musa inquires in bewilderment.

"He was trying to find their village, but why? What do they have that is so valuable?" Aisha questions.

Faragonda's eyes widened when she realised exactly what Lord Darkar wanted, she quickly gains composure and regains hold of the situation, "What's important now is to stay on guard. His powers are strong enough to affect us no matter where we are."

"Faragonda's hiding something from us," Tecna whispers to Stella in suspicion, "she's never done this before."

"So for now, the pixies will stay here at Alfea," Faragonda informs which makes the girls jump and cheer in celebration except Aisha.

"But I really should be getting back to the village with Piff," Aisha argues which brings an immediate response from Faragonda.

"No! Under no circumstances. Lord Darkar is capable of spying on our movement, if you ever go back to pixie village, you might as well send him a map," Faragonda warns before comforting Aisha who looked uncomfortable with her decision. "And so Aisha, I would like to invite you to stay with us here at Alfea and welcome you to the school."

"Thank you, Headmistress, I am most happy to stay," Aisha accepts and the girls start jumping and cheering once again, the noise woke up Piff who also started to cheer in baby talk.

"Come on girls, it's time to go," Faragonda reminds, "you have quite a school year to get through."

"Bye Faragonda," the girls leave.

Kaneki stays behind due to his uneasiness, he turns to Faragonda and asks, "Do you really believe they can defeat Lord Darkar? When he summoned me, I could feel his malicious nature and intents. It terrified me," Kaneki admits, he stared at the floor, deep in thought, as he reminisced the negativity he experienced then his time with Jason 13, "and it takes a hell of a lot to terrify me after that time." His screams and Yamori's deranged laughter echoed through his mind.

Faragonda focuses on Kaneki, her eyes expressing sorrow for him. While she didn't know what happened to him, she understands that he has suffered in a way that will haunt him till his death day.

"I can't deny that Lord Darkar will be an easy villain to defeat. He is a powerful primordial being who will most likely never truly die, he represents the evil and negative aspects of life and he is a part of the Dragon's Flame which has expanded his powers greatly," Faragonda explains.

"If you're trying to reassure me that the girls can defeat him, then you're doing a pi-gah! poor job of it," Kaneki remains unfazed when he's forced to bite his tongue again.

"I'm saying it won't be easy, but nothing ever is," Faragonda corrects, "you and the girls will receive lessons in technical magic and convergence."

"That's when multiple beings join in to make an extremely powerful spell, right?" Kaneki guesses and at Faragonda's inquisitive gaze, he adds, "I got bored with all the failed attempts of finding a way home so I read on ahead in my studies. Technical magic is quite interesting, I've already developed my own incantations."

"Ah, if only the other students are as determined as you with your studies," Faragonda sighs before she throws Kaneki a smile, "you need to believe in them, Ken, for that is the strongest magic in the world and it should be much easier for you considering your bonded pixie."

"The irony," Kaneki snorts, shuffling around the room, his arms swinging slightly as he looks at everywhere but at her, "with everything that's happened to me, hope seemed like a distant fantasy then, all of at sudden, it comes swooping in and, ur, starts coddling me." Kaneki stops moving around, he lets out his fear, "feels like the next time I wake up, he'll be gone, just like everyone else." This was strange to Kaneki, he's never felt this close to anyone but Hide. Touka and Hinami are close seconds but he didn't know them for as long. Is this what a bond between fairy and pixie was? He didn't know Faith for very long yet he feels this strongly for him.

"We never what the future has in store for us, but I can tell you it never plays favourites," Faragonda advises, softly, "it may seem so at times, but rest assured, Ken, you will get your happy ending."

"Thank you, Faragonda," Kaneki was truly grateful for her help.

"Now, why don't you continue your research with Concorda? She mentioned that there were a few books she found that could be helpful," Faragonda informs so Kaneki thanks her, says his goodbyes and leaves, planning to head to the archive until he heard a long cry growing louder as it came closer.

"Keeeennnnnnyyyy!!!" Faith zooms through the hall and crashes right into Kaneki's forehead, crying.

"Faith? What's wrong?" Kaneki inquires, worried, as he gently pulls Faith off his head and deposits him on his hand.

"I was lonely without you! You were taking so long so I thought I'd come find you," Faith tells him, cheerfully, doing a complete 180 on his earlier personality.

"Well, I need to head to Concorda for research, but you can play with Hippocampus and Mujina," Kaneki offers.

"I don't know who they are but okay," Faith agrees, he puts his hands behind his head as he explains about his adventurous morning.

With the Winx

"I don't know, something doesn't add up," Tecna hums, rubbing her chin in thought.

"Hmm, you're right Tecna, this sandwich cost me more than a full facial and makeup session," Stella says, munching on a sandwich.

"I think Faragonda is keeping some kind of secret from us," Tecna continues, ignoring Stella's unintelligent remark.

"And sharing it with Kaneki," Musa adds with contempt.

"What do you mean?" Aisha shoots back, irritated with the accusation thrown to one of her friends.

"Didn't Kaneki stay behind after we left? In fact, wasn't he in some secret room that Bloom came across by mistake? You even mentioned that he apparently got permission. Don't you find that a bit suspicious?" Musa inquires, throwing more and more accusations.

"Musa, that's a bit much, isn't it?" Bloom stammers, not wanting to think that way about Kaneki, "he's our friend."

"But Musa has a point," Stella backs up, making Bloom and Aisha look to her incredulous. "He does have some special treatment. Plus, remember his powers? I didn't get a proper look or feel, but they were totally dark, too dark for a fairy," Stella reminisces when they were first attacked in the cave after she transformed.

"Dark?" Flora reiterates, bewildered.

"So he's like Darcy?" Tecna assumes.

"No, it had a different feel to it," Bloom interjects, "but I don't believe Kaneki is evil or dangerous."

"Yeah, he helped us all throughout the rescue," Aisha argues, "and he's Faith's bonded fairy."

"You're just saying that 'coz he laid some smooth moves on you," Stella scoffs.

"No, I'm saying that-" Aisha snaps only to be interrupted.

"Guys, stop!" Flora demands, stunning the group, "you're all forgetting what's important here, Lord Darkar. He's the reason why all this is happening, he's the one who kidnapped the pixies, he's the one we should be focusing on. And the Trix. How did they get out of Lightrock and how did they get so powerful?"

"Flora's right," Bloom adds, garnering everyone's attention, "we shouldn't be fighting. We've been through thick and thin together. We fought and survived together as a team because we're the Winx!" Bloom cheers and the others follow.

"Yeah!"

"We go, girls!"

Aisha stays behind, forgotten by the girls, it was then Aisha had an epiphany, she's a stranger. She doesn't belong there with them, she hasn't known them as long as they had to each other. She's all alone.

Maybe that's why she was defending Kaneki so fervently, because she could see the loneliness within his eye. She knew exactly how that felt, she was isolated throughout her childhood and that left her sombre and empty especially when Anne moved away. From what she heard, Kaneki started this year, same as her, so he has no friends beside the Winx, but they're getting suspicious of him, and he's the only male on campus, that's gotta be tough. 

"Listen up everyone, urgent message from Faragonda," Livy informs, flying on her parchment paper.

"What is it? What happened?" Bloom questions, worried.

"Actually, I forgot," Livy admits, giggling embarrassingly, then jumps off her paper "but I did write it down, 'my dear Winx girls, please put on your heaviest coats and meet me by the lake. It's urgent, Faragonda'."

"I wonder what has happened," Tecna mumbles.

"Well, let's go," Bloom tells them.

Lake

"Look, there she is," Tecna points to the lone figure staring out at the lake.

"This is the reason I have sent for you," Faragonda tells them, turning around, "this strange boulder appeared mysteriously just tonight and judging by the events of late, I find its presence rather disturbing."

"Unbelievable," Tecna mutters when her mechanical ladybug returns after scanning the slab, "this is neither metal nor mineral. I can't scan it, it's as if it's not made of matter."

Faragonda called the names of all the Winx, "Use all your power to destroy it at all costs." The girls transformed and started to throw their spells at the slab which had no effect.

Magic Archive

"-and then I crashed straight into a wall, but some cute fairies helped me, did I mention they were cute?" Faith inquires, interrupting his own babbling. Hippocampus nods enthusiastically while Mujina slept through his story.

Kaneki snorts and rolls his eyes as Faith continues with his story, "Figures that the pixie I get is a player."

"I feel he parallels quite you well," Concorda responds, "he's lots of fun and you're no fun at all."

"I can't deny that," Kaneki admits, remembering all the times Hide called him a buzz kill. He flips to the last page of his book but finds it to be useless so he places it on his finished pile.

"No luck either this time," Concorda sighs, putting her cup of tea down. 

"Nope," Kaneki responds.

"And those were the last of the books."

"Yep," Kaneki replies, "so do you just wanna hang?"

"I suppose that will be nice," Concorda responds before asking, "how are your studies going?"

"Good, I'm top of most classes." 

"That's amazing since you have just learned the existence of magic," Concorda responds, impressed, "I hear from Faragonda that you have become close to the Winx."

"No, I'm just an acquaintance," Kaneki waves off, "Faragonda asked me to watch over Bloom so that's why I went on the mission to rescue the pixies. Besides, I doubt they see me as a friend."

"That's quite sorrowful," Concorda tells him, "if you don't consider the girls your friends then who are?"

"Ur, none," Kaneki informs, falteringly, "no one really wanted to be my friend when I was young except Hide but now I have Faith. That's enough for me."

"Even then, you must have been lonely," Concorda counters. Kaneki couldn't deny that, he reminisces all the times he stared longingly at his classmates, wishing to join in on their games, but couldn't, they found him weird since he loved books and was considered a nerd. Kaneki remains silent. Concorda was about to speak up again when Faragonda entered the magic archive and called the duo down.

"I apologise for interrupting you, but I must ask you leave the archive Ken and not return for a couple of days," Faragonda requests, her brows furrowed in concern.

"Has something happened?" Kaneki questions, rushing to stand in front of her.

"Nothing that concerns you," Faragonda reassures before asking, "oh, and Ken, I must ask a favour of you. I gave the girls a test which they clearly should not complete, the girls except Bloom gave up and headed back to their rooms. Could you ensure she returns back to the dorm? The last thing I would want is for her to become ill."

"Of course. Come on, Faith," Kaneki sprints out the archive with Faith zooming after him.

"Hey Kenny, why are you researching dimension travelling?" Faith inquires as they continued to rush down the hall.

Kaneki glances back at Faith, wondering whether to tell him the truth, but ultimately decides not to. "Nothing you should concern yourself with," Kaneki tells him. It wasn't long till they reached the front doors, but when Kaneki opens them, he sees how heavy the down pour was. "Faith, head back to my room and wait," Kaneki orders.

"What? But I wanna come!" Faith whines then flinches when Kaneki raises his voice.

"No," Kaneki states, firmly, "I said stay." Kaneki says, his tone much softer, then dashes through the rain, ignoring how the raindrops beat against his body.

Up ahead he saw sight that made a chill run up his spine, an unconscious Bloom was being carried by a mysterious cloaked figure.

"Let go of her!" Kaneki cries as he leaps through the air and aims and punch at the cloaked figure who conjures a magic barrier that repels Kaneki's attack. Kaneki lands on all fours, the burns he received from the impact were smoking as it healed, he glares up at the stranger and growls threateningly. If the intruder won't go down so easily then Kaneki should have no hesitation in using his full strength.

Four neon red kagunes rip through Kaneki's shirt and were posed for the attack. The stranger takes a step back due to fear, he gawked at the intimidating rinkaku's which were pointed straight at him. Knowing that he was in at disadvantage with Bloom in his arms, he lays her against the base of a tree before preparing himself.

"Lux trabem egreditur!" The intruder casts and 3 beams of light slice through the air towards Kaneki who flips backwards, dodging all the beams which harshly embeds itself into the ground. Without missing a beat, Kaneki darts at light speed with his kagunes rushing past to impale the man who shouts, "Lux obice!" And a barrier appears successfully blocks all of Kaneki's attacks.

"Tch," Kaneki kissed his teeth in irritation when he realises that the intruder is an expert in magic. It didn't help that Kaneki neglected some of his training since he came here and his body/physiology doesn't have any resistance to magic so he took a lot of damage from spells.

"Lux auras accipiunt redduntque bomb!" Multiple spheres of light bombard Kaneki, they explode upon contact with the environment which leads to dust flying about therefore blinding Kaneki to his surroundings.

'Dammit! Where is he?!' Kaneki whips his head all around, but could only see the dust so he replies on his nose to hunt his enemy. 'Above?!' Kaneki threw his head to the sky to see the intruder flying above him, preparing another spell. Kaneki had no time to dodge or block and the spell hits him dead on. Kaneki is thrown well away, his landing not so soft, and is dead to the world around him.

The figure lands close by, wary of the male fairy who could be faking his unconscious state. Seeing Kaneki was truly unconscious, the intruder grabs the back of his shirt and drags the male after throwing Bloom over his shoulder and continuing his trek to Alfea.

With the Winx 

The girls were beginning to worry about Bloom who still had not returned from the lake. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door so Musa opens it to see the cloaked figure carrying Bloom over his shoulder and dragging Kaneki into the room.

"What have you done?" Flora gasps, horrified.

"Nothing, your friend has just exhausted herself," the man replies as he places Bloom on her bed.

"What about Kaneki?" Aisha shoots back, accusingly.

"He thought I had attacked your friend so I was forced to subdue him with magic," the man informs the group, "Faragonda will explain everything tomorrow. Goodnight." The man then promptly leaves the room, the girls watching even when the doors had closed.

"So what do we do with Kaneki?" Stella points out to the unconscious male who was lying on the floor, showing no signs of waking up any time soon.

The Next Morning

Faragonda's Office 

After the events of last night, Faragonda promised to explain in the morning so the Winx, Kaneki and the pixies had gathered in her office the next day.

"All right, now that you've successfully completed your introductory classes, it's time to begin your intermediate level subjects," Faragonda informs.

"Boring!" Digit complained, rudely, "I'd rather watch a screen saver than listen to the Headmistress."

"Before that, shouldn't we address the elephant in the room?" Kaneki inquires, vehemently towards the cloaked figure. He was still a little sour about being defeated.

"What? An elephant?" Stella questions, looking around before throwing Kaneki a look of disbelief, "I think you have a screw loose or something Kaneki. I mean, how could an elephant fit in here?"

"Stella, were your dropped on you head as a baby or just born this stupid?" Kaneki curses her.

"Excuse me!" Stella demands, outraged, and the two would have started bickering had Faragonda not intervened.

"Enough!" Faragonda's voice echoed in her office, her tone demanded respect and expressed her authority. "Ken, your comment was uncalled for, apologise to Stella. You have no reason to lash out at her simply because you lost against Professor Avalon."

"Professor Avalon?" The Winx reiterate, baffled.

The mystery man pulls down his hood to reveal himself to be the paladin that saved them from the Trix.

"The paladin!" Bloom, Stella and Aisha exclaims in shock.

"He's a teacher?" Kaneki questions, feeling a lightly better about his loss. Teachers have more experience in magic and using them in fights so it's no surprise he would lose.

"Indeed I am," Avalon responds before looking to Kaneki, "my dear boy, you were truly a formidable opponent without your magic. I must admit, multiple times I thought you were going to end up killing me."

"See? That means he's dangerous," Musa whispers to Tecna and Stella who nodded in agreement. 

"Yeah, he nearly killed a professor. What does that say about him?" Tecna adds.

"Hmph," Faith pouts, irritated, crossing his arms cross his chest. He was close enough to hear what they were talking about.

Faragonda claps which garners the attention of the other occupants, "Now, I know you are all excited and have many questions for Professor Avalon, but I shall give an explanation at the lake along with the rest of your class."

The Lake

"Let me introduce a leading expert from the famous Malacoy Paladion Academy," Faragonda informs to the rest of the students who had met her at the lake for an afternoon lesson. "He'll be joining our faculty at my special request, Professors Avalon," Faragonda introduces and Avalon bows in greeting which makes the girls squeal and gossip on his handsome looks.

"He's making me a teensy bit nervous," Flora admits, blushing slightly.

"Is this guy hot or what?" Stella inquires to Tecna, quietly, "I can't take my eyes off him."

"I wonder what his speciality is," Tecna wonders.

"Professor, will you please destroy that stone?" Faragonda requests. She heard Tecna and believed this would be a good display of his power. The Winx gasp, they couldn't even scratch it with all their combined efforts, what could the professor do to it?

"Lapus Sturei'et Feer'mai Tetfrangan Mit Cominuim," Avalon chants the incantation as he clasps his hand gently together and a small golden sphere forms which he launches at the stone, causing it to crumble and shatter into the lake which causes a tidal wave.

"How did he do that?" Bloom exclaims, stunned by the display.

"What you've just witnessed is a technical incantation," Faragonda informs the girls which quell a part of their confusion, "until now you've been casting spontaneously, following your instincts. Those are the skills you have perfected last year. This is a whole new level of difficulty."

"Technical magic?" Flora reiterates, perplexed, "what's different about it?"

"These spells require cognitive analysis and accurate pronunciation, that's the subject of Professor Avalon's class," Faragonda explains.

"Um, a question please, Headmistress," Tecna requests, "how did you determine which technical spell needed to effectively destroy the unidentified stone?"

"Easy. I created the stone," Faragonda replies, smiling at their shocked stares, before explaining the reason why, "I wanted to absolutely make sure that you would not underestimate the importance of your new classes."

"That does it. First they obsess about a stupid stone, now a professor," Chatta rants and raves, the rest of the pixies fly up to listen to her in awe, "I can't believe our fairies have forgotten about us. What do you say we ask them to come flying with us over the lake?" Chatta demands, rapidly turning to her friends who started to cheer at her plan.

Faragonda speaks up again to allow them the chance to speak with Avalon, "Everybody, class dismissed, but if you have any questions I'm sure Professor Avalon will be happy to answer them."

"I have a question, Professor," Bloom runs towards him.

"As do I," Flora adds.

"Professor Avalon-" the rest of the girls began to crowd around him and bombard him with multiple questions, some not even about his classes and instead if he was single.

"Girls are weird," Kaneki states when he hears the last question, "he's in his 30's, maybe even older."

Faith flies over to Kaneki while the rest of the pixies give up on reaching their fairy counterparts. "Kenny, wanna go flying over the lake with us?" Faith asks, hopeful that he would agree.

"Don't feel like it," Kaneki replies, making Faith deflate, Kaneki felt his stomach churn uncomfortably so he adds, "but I don't mind just hanging out in our room," that makes Faith perk up instantly and grin heartily.

Lockette tries another attempt in gaining Bloom's attention, but was accidently thrown away and landed harshly on the ground. Lockette sat up and began to wail at the top of lungs, tears streaming down her cheeks as she rubbed her eyes, "I'm so sad. Bloom didn't even notice me." It was then Kiko the rabbit came up to Lockette as if wanting to comfort her only to blow a raspberry right in her face before running away, chortling evilly. 

"Hey!" Kaneki yells, but Kiko was already quite far so he sighs before kneeling down and picking Lockette up and having her sit on his hands, he uses his thumbs to wipe away her tears and comforts her, "do you want to hang out with me and Faith while Bloom is busy?"

"Can I?" Lockette sniffs as she wipes away the snot. She looks up at him with hope glimmering in her eyes.

"Sure," Kaneki assures, smiling tenderly at the tiny pixie who gave him a watery grin. "In fact, the rest of you can come if you want," Kaneki offers. The pixies look to their fairy's then to Kaneki and agree.

"Beats watching them," Digit points to the cluster.

"I suppose it will be a nice change of pace," Tune adds.

"That's so nice of you," Amore sighs, dreamily.

Later That Night

Kaneki's Room

The Winx had left their rooms to head to the party, Aisha stopped by and asked if Kaneki would attend the party, but he refused saying that he wasn't a party person so he and the pixies were chilling in his room. He, Faith, Lockette and Amore were playing cards, Digit and Zing were playing against each other in a video game, Piff was sleeping and Glim was messing around with the switch on a small lamp on Kaneki's desk.

"Go fish," Faith states, his brows furrowed in complete concentration.

"Faith, we're playing black jack," Kaneki chastised though was unsurprised.

"Oh, I thought we were playing poker," Amore intervenes.

"I'm playing crazy eights," Lockette adds, hesitantly.

"Jeez," Kaneki sighs and puts his cards down, a muted jingle gains his attention and he looks to see Glim pressing her face against the window, peering straight into the dark. "What's wrong, Glim?" Kaneki opens the door to the balcony and sees two light zooming close to the forest.

"What's going on?" Zing inquires as the rest of the pixies joined Kaneki on the balcony.

"Sky and Brandon have come," Kaneki informs, his tone expressing suspicion and surprise when he realises that they're not heading to the party.

"Aw, they interrupted those lovey-dovey beavers," Amore moans in sorrow, "all they wanted to do was to kiss in peace."

Kaneki snorts at her words before quoting something Hide would definitely say, "I think they were rather getting their freak on."

"What does that mean?" Lockette asks, innocently. Kaneki froze at the question then slowly turns his head to see all the pixies, including Piff who just woke up, staring up at him in confusion and ignorance which makes him cringe at the cuteness, he can't corrupt that.

"Nothing, hehehe," Kaneki chuckles, falteringly.

"What are they doing here? Sky and Brandon, I mean," Zing asks.

"Dunno," Kaneki responds as he watched the duo scale the tree. Sky attached a thin spy glass device to his eye and started to spy in on the party while Brandon was focusing on the ground, he appeared to be looking for something in a wary manner.

"The tree is trembling," Digit points out, overwhelming her brain, "that is completely illogical. Trees don't move in such a way. Overload! Overload!"

"Don't have a break down," Kaneki chastised, still focusing on the duo.

"Oh no! The beavers-!" Lockette warns, hands on her cheeks as they watched the beavers chipped at the base of the tree, nearly chomping all the way through.

"Timber!" Zing exclaims when the tree crashes onto the ground.

"The beavers look so happy!" Faith bursts out laughing, holding his stomach when he sees the beavers high-five.

"Will they be okay?" Tune inquires, concerned.

"Don't worry, they're specialists," Kaneki assures, heading back inside and closing the doors, "they've been training to fight for years, a small fall like that wouldn't leave a scratch. Now, let's get back to our game, a proper game," Kaneki adds as he shuffles the cards, they soon forgot about the specialist duo with all the fun they've had and ended up falling asleep on the bed.

The poll results are in!

Male: 2 

Female: 6

Sorry for taking so long, it's been hectic lately. My eldest sister was just married a few days ago and the hairstylist gave me loads of extensions and a wig, she pinned it so tight so I was in pain for like 8 hours. It still hurts now. I still have more weddings to attend.

I read up on some stuff and decided to make the chapters more modern and realistic. The next chapter will hopefully make you all happy and not bash me except for constructive criticism.
