Chapter Text
It took nearly another century when Akashi, the New Ruler of the Frozen Crystal Empire, the highest Seat of the Vampire Race and one of the last remaining Ancient who lived because he didn't have a giant stake up his ass and started a war.
He is facing the greatest mystery he has ever lived, over taking the creation of Lycanthropy itself.
"this is a joke right?", a question from an equally as puzzled member of his coven asked. Aomine.
his question pulled him from his own puzzled mind.
as to how a Living Breathing (breath-taking) Kitsune has appeared within his Castle. right outside his Bed Chambers without being detected by anyone!
considering the castle is located within 1 of the Large mountains of the Empire.
The Highest one Specially Reserved for the Great Phoenix. so they may live in peace, through their Daily Resurrections.
Akashi and his most trusted companions are gathered in the Dining area.
The room was large, the walls covered in paintings Akashi has collected throughout the century. and as of recently some rooms of the mansion have paintings of him and his companions.
large windows follow along one wall with the view of His Domain.
in the center is the large Ivory Dining table made from Dragon Bone, lined with tall chairs.
At that very moment. Midorima is performing a check up on their mysterious visitor. 'Mysterious' considering they're supposed to be extinct.
" if your definition of a joke is having an extinct species appear out of nowhere. I can't even imagine what a miracle is to you, Minechin”
After decades of living with the Lycan the Leader knew a needless bickering between the sweet toothed giant and hot headed pup was brewing.
“As lovely as a long drawn out barking fest between Daiki and Atsushi sounds right now, let us all focus on the issue at hand”, calmly states the Coven Head.
Effectively silencing the over sized children, many years of cohabiting everyone knows this is just their way of interacting and lightening up the mood due to the situation at hand.
The second in command conveniently took that moment to enter the dining room to join Coven meeting, making his way to the other soon as he deemed their Little visitor well and no sense of danger after passing out.
Akashi summoned the Doctor in the middle of the night in a guest room, where laying in the bed there is a supposed extinct being was something anyone would expect in … ever.
“The boy is unharmed, though judging from his observations. In shock. Other than that. Healthy. Bed rest is recommended.” the green head says as he makes his way to his chair.
“Momoi and Kazunari are with the boy right now, getting him comfortable and dressing him in appropriate clothes.”
The poor state of the kitsune most likely triggered the two Omega’s motherly instinct to care and nurture. Scientific analyses filling the doctor, which he kept to himself for there are more pressing matters at hand.
Even without anyone voicing it they are all well aware that the very presence of their little intruder threatens the very foundation The Trinity fought for. Peace and Balance.
“ Obviously we must ensure the balance does not tip and maintain the peace.”
Everyone present collectively nodded in agreement, much to Akashi’s relief.
“This is a delicate situation where we MUST inform our allies about the existence of our surprise guest.” The Emperor before them states matter of factly.
“While we wait for him to regain consciousness Shintaro, you will assist me in preparing for a Full Council meeting with The Order. This will be a long preparation which may take some time to collect All Three Heads of the family.”
They must ensure that by no means they mean no Harm or intend no ill will to disrupt the balance the three Domains have maintained for the past five decades.
Just by observation, the Kitsune that appeared before them, frankly from thin air. May have shown signs of high leveled Kitsune Magic.
Such power cannot be kept by just one side of the three Powers governing the Land.
Peace and Balance have always been the top priority.
As orders left his mouth, playing his role as the ruler of the Frozen Crystal empire’s Reach.
What is this tight grip he is feeling deep with in his chest?
What is this gnawing feeling to keep the Kitsune near him?
Why do I have the NEED to curl up next to their unexpected guest, hold him and keep him safe?
The red head’s train of thought is cut off by the dining room door bursting open, a flurry of pink darting in, having heard what the men down stairs were talking about with her keen lycan hearing.
“HOW COULD YOU GUYS TALK ABOUT THAT PRECIOUS CHILD LIKE SOME PACKAGE TO BE SENT OFF!?”
Drat.
They should have all known better to not have allowed the resident mother goose to look after the ‘precious’ Kitsune.
“Mo-”
“Can’t you guys imagine what he is going through right now?!”The frantic Omega cuts off their leader trying her darndest to let these knucklehead men see reason. Probably the only living being to be able to cut off Akashi like that.
“Sats-”
“Just look at him a little!He's so small and weak, he needs to adjust and gather his bearings! We can't just let him be moved around different places without even letting him know about his kin!” the pinkette practically wailing, fighting to not fully burst into tears.
Upon uttering the last couple of words, it finally dawns on them how cold they are to the situation, not really taking Kitsune's feelings into consideration.
“Alright alright let's all just relax, you all know damn well that the other Powers are in no hurry to make another calamity”, Tatsuya calmingly reminds the silly alpha’s in the dining room.
slowly Murasakibara's own mate walks into the dining hall to help calm down the situation.
Akashi by now knowing exactly where all this is going to go down.
Tatsuya moved to gracefully place himself onto his gigantic mate's lap, grabbing the signature box of chocolates from his hands and placing it on the table away from the now looking like a kicked puppy purple haired vampire.
MurasakiBara could easily take back the box, the smile directed at him by his mate is reminding him that it is past midnight and he should not be having snacks by then.
The giant wouldn't DARE disobey his mate. The day the Glutton met His mate, Tatsuya beat snacks and food from Murasakibara’s priority list. They didn't even compare.
Though he looked longingly at his confiscated snack.
It was abundantly clear that Murasakibara is no longer on their side of the Decision, just like that.
And so is Kagami, who was standing to the right of where Akashi sat since he was one of Akashi’s Swords, usually Aomine would be the one standing where he was but the Blue headed lycan does whatever he wanted and opted to sit, for one Kagami wasn't as mad at his fellow Sword’s unprofessionalism, for his own mate was the one who barrelled into the room first. The same mate who is standing at the other side of Akashi glaring Daggers at him telling him to submit and join their side, which he had the moment she started speaking.
Another soldier down.
That leaves Akashi, Midorima and Aomine.
“Momoi, Himuro, please try to calm do-”
“I would stop talking Midorima, Kazurani and Kise, both also agree with us”, Tatsuya effectively shutting up the Spectacled man.
In which Midorima could only shut up and clear his throat clutching his lucky item of the day close, a pillow hoping for safety.
While Aomine let out a deafeated groan.
Of course kise is with the fox!
Akashi couldn't help but ask himself who really ruled over his council.
Their leader could only release a sigh of exasperation, at the state of his coven. How much the dynamic of their group changed since they met all their respective mates.a well deserved ending and refuge he believed each and everyone of them deserved.
A familiar clenching feeling that's been plaguing him making itself known once again at the sight of his coven members and the harmony they have found. But also happy for this family he has founded and brought together.
“Very well”. Their leader finally concedes, causing Momoi to beam brightly and his council to release a breath none of them realize they were holding.
“But.”
Momoi visibly deflated and the Alphas once again stiffening.
“We will continue to prepare for a Meeting with the other Powers. We vowed to maintain this Peace we ALL fought hard for. Many suffered and were lost to get to where we are now, we are not going to ruin that because of one.”
Akashi announces as diplomatically as he could. The Coven hasn’t heard their leader speak like this since back when they were fighting for dominance of the Reach.
“But I also understand that his ‘one person’, is alone and lost now just as Momoi stated, like once we all were” Akashi finally relaxes and leans back in chair to loosen up visibly to put his Coven at ease too.
“That little kit sure picked the right place to get lost in.” a little inside joke being a whole band of poor unfortunate souls fostered by their Leader. Aomine scoffs, as he scratches his head knowing perfectly well his mate is with that same little kit, probably being a mother goose and fussing over him.
It was too late into the night, and it's about time they wrap up this emergency meeting. Akashi needed a fresh mind and reevaluated the situation once more.
“We prepare for our expedition, we monitor the kit’s progress and prevent blind siding him. It is only fair that he finds out and adjusts to this awful reality he now lives in, you all may continue with your duties as usual and I will inform you all for any new decisions that will be made.”
Akashi makes a move of getting up from his seat intending on heading to bed and calling it a night.
“For now we wait for Kitsune to wake up. Satsuki and Takao, i will leave him under your care for now, make sure he is comfortable and use whatever means necessary, i trust you both will be responsible with funds. You may all retire for the night”
And with that he dismissed his council and made his way back to his own room to retire for the night, maybe read some ancient tomes he has collected about the kitsune race. Though the Ancient Vampire was no stranger to the Kitsune race, a little refresher wouldn’t hurt.
As the Red head grew closer to his chambers, the stronger this alluring smell got. It was the same alluring smell that jolted him awake when the ethereal Light blue headed Kitsune practically manifested right outside his bed chambers And promptly collapsed.
he reached the ‘guest room’ he most likely instinctively placed the unconscious kitsune in for Midorima to check up on.
No one ever addressed the fact that akashi had an empty room that is fully furnished, with linen and items he decides ‘would look good in the guest room ’
The coven knew the leader was Lonely, for how long, no one exactly knows. Not even Midorima.
Akashi didn’t want to get his hopes up in denial about what it could be. He has long given up on finding his mate. At some point he had to accept the fact that he most likely missed them and long since perished.
But somewhere within his frozen heart a tiny spark was fighting hard to keep on burning.
A loud gust of wind from outside the castle causes the window next to him to rattle a little but enough for his heightened vampire ears to catch it and cut off his train of thought.
“Akashi?” Midorima gently calls out along the other end of the hall having been watching his long-time Confidant standing in front of the ‘guest room’ for almost a whole two minutes , where the kitsune reside.
Both questioning and worried for the Red head.
Akashi turns his head slightly towards the other man.
“This window needs adjusting.” a clear dismissal.
Midorima could only watch Akashi walk the rest of the way into his chamber.
Midorima releases an exasperated sigh because he can't help but dread what kind of premonition this kitsune brought upon them.
