Soon it was the first day of the HSC exams. After three weeks of arduous studying, it was now time for all that hard work to be put to use. It was time for the torture of High School Certificate to begin.

Atalanta and Heero were nervous wrecks that morning as they put their uniforms on and made sure that they had all the necessary equipment. Today, all the year twelve students of New South Wales would be sitting the first of two English Exams.

Syaoran was being as supportive as possible by making breakfast for his parents.

"Kami-sama, I haven't been this nervous since the day I married your mother, Syaoran." Heero admitted as he and his son sat in the kitchen.

"He was so nervous, that Leo and Shenlong had to forcefully stop him from running off." Atalanta giggled as she entered the kitchen, "I don't even know why I'm nervous. I've done my HSC before, and I did both my A-levels and O-levels in England a couple of decades back."

"Don't worry so much. I'm sure you're going to do fine. You've been studying like crazy." Syaoran reassured.

"You're a great cub, Syaoran. Don't let anyone every tell you any different." Heero ruffled his son's hair as the former pilot made sure that he had everything in his bag.

"AIE!!!! Where's my lucky necklace!" Atalanta wailed hysterically.

"Shh...what's wrong koi?" Heero pulled his mate into his arms.

"I can't find chichioya's coronation necklace. I've worn it to every exam and test I've ever been through." Atalanta sniffled.

"Here, hahaoya. It needed cleaning." Syaoran handed over the Egyptian gold necklace.

"That was very thoughtful of you Syaoran, thankyou." Atalanta smiled.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When Heero arrived at school, her found the other pilots waiting for him.

"Good to see you again Hee-chan." Duo greeted.

"Hello, minna." Heero greeted, affection - for those who did not remember and yet still meant so much to him - clear in his eyes.

"How are you Heero?" Quatre asked.

"Let's just say that when this is all over, I'm gathering up all disposable school-related material and ritualistically sacrificing it to the pagan gods by burning it." Heero stated.

"Sounds like fun. May we participate?" Trowa asked. He was pleased to see Wings' mischievous side. After getting his memories back, he realised just how much he missed his prank-filled past, and just how bad Heero and Atalanta's fight had been.

"I'm planning on doing so on my birthday. I found out when it is." Heero smirked.

"When?" Quatre was curious.

"The 22nd of November. Duo's is the same day. Trowa's is the 16th of October. You were born on the 24th of December, Quatre. That is the same day as Atalanta. Wufei was born on the 1st of April, a.k.a. April Fools' day." Heero revealed.

"You're sources, whatever they are, are good Yuy." Wufei commented.

"Atalanta and I have friends in high places. VERY high places." Heero revealed.

'Yeah, like gods, and the ruling bodies of all societies in this solar system' Trowa thought to himself.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Meanwhile, at CGHS, Atalanta was waiting with the rest of her year. She was relaxing by using a meditation technique she had been taught when studying to control her youki back in the past. This was also helped by the comforting presence of her mate-bond with Heero. He'd renewed his claim on her during Stuvac.

It was then that they were called in to take their seats for the exam.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When Atalanta got home at lunch-time, she got changed then took at form she had not used since Syaoran was conceived. That of a white Siberian tiger. Locating an inviting patch of sunlight in the living room, she stretched out and fell asleep.

Ten minutes later, Heero arrived home. With him, were the other pilots. He'd invited them over seeing as they hadn't really seen the mansion properly.

"Welcome to Demon Domain." Heero said as he led them inside.

"Interesting name." Wufei commented.

"It feels appropriate for some reason." Quatre murmured, rubbing his chest in the manner that suggested that his 'space heart' [1] was telling him something.

"You have no idea." Heero muttered, "Anyway, there is logic behind the name, but it is Rika logic."

"What's wrong with Rika logic?" Duo demanded, defending the girl he was falling for.

"There's nothing wrong with it, it's just an acquired skill to understand it." Heero shook his head in amusement.

"Heero, is it normal for there to be a tiger asleep in your living room?" Quatre asked as they entered said room.

"Fairly normal, if anything can be considered normal here." Heero said as he walked over to the sunning Atalanta.

Crouching down, he scratched her behind the ears to wake her. When she saw him, she nuzzled him, before yawning and stretching. This showed off her impressive fangs and claws.

"She's gorgeous." Trowa smiled, recognizing Atalanta.

"Why don't you got and change back. I want you to have lunch with us." Heero whispered to Atalanta.

Licking Heero's cheek, she went upstairs. Changing back to her human form, she smoothed out her white cotton dress, and headed down to the kitchen. On the way, she picked up Odin. He was the Siberian Husky puppy they'd bought for Syaoran.

"Hey Lan, how'd you find the exam?" Duo asked as she sat next to Heero.

"It was okay, for an exam." Atalanta shrugged, playing with Odin.

She giggled as Heero pulled her onto his lap.

"Who's the adorable puppy?" Quatre asked.

"This is Odin. We bought him for Syaoran." Heero said, resting his chin on Atalanta's shoulder as he wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Lucky kid." Trowa smiled.

"Which English do you do onna?" Wufei questioned.

"Standard. I couldn't be bothered doing advanced." Atalanta replied.

"How'd you find the paper?" Wufei questioned.

"Not too bad. The trials were harder." Atalanta answered honestly.

A conversation started.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Two hours later, Syaoran arrived home.

"Tadaima!" he announced happily, walking into the kitchen.

"How was your day Syaoran?" Atalanta asked from where she was - for some unknown reason - getting her hair braided by Duo.

"Meh, same old, same old. Can't really complain." Syaoran shrugged.

"Wish I could say the same. I HATE exams." Heero grumbled.

"Daijobu desu ka?" Syaoran asked.

"Aa. Daijobu." Heero nodded.

"Syaoran, what homework do you have?" Atalanta questioned, going into 'mother mode'.

"Research assignment on the Roman Vestal Virgins." Syaoran absently munched on an apple.

"That I can help you with. Once you've finished your apple, I want you to go practice the kata we've been teaching you recently." Atalanta ordered.

"Demo, I wanted to play Halo 2!" Syaoran complained.

"You can do that later. What we're teaching you is important. It's family tradition and protocol." Heero said.

"Hai." Syaoran nodded in defeat and headed up to his room.

"So you know how to fight onna?" Wufei was curious.

"Yes. Care for a spar?" Atalanta offered.

"I want to see your skills." Wufei nodded.

"Let me go get changed into something more appropriate. Heero, could you lead him down to the dojo He can pick any weapon bar my shukusen." Atalanta stood.

"Hai," Heero nodded as he also stood, "Come on, the dojo is this way."

"This house has EVERYTHING!" Duo exclaimed as the pilots followed Heero through the halls.

"There's a games room too, Syaoran uses it the most. There's also the sun room, the manga/anime room, the home theatre room, and the menagerie room." Heero chuckled as they entered the dojo. An entire wall was taken up by an array of different weapons.

"Hey cool, there's a scythe!" Duo exclaimed happily.

"It is the legendary scythe of Shinigami. It is said that Shinigami used that scythe to take the souls of the dead to the after-life." Atalanta walked in. She was wearing an outfit Heero hadn't seen her in since their travels in Japan during the Silver Millennium. It consisted of a black kimono that had silver crescent moons embroidered all over it. The obi was silver with black crescent moons. The sleeves were long and flowed gracefully as she moved. The kimono was tight and would have restricted her movement if not for the long splits going up each side to just below her hips. Under the kimono, she wore tight black leggings much like the uniform of a taija. On her feet she wore the traditional tatabi socks and wooden sandals. Her hair was pinned up in an elegant butterfly design, with no hope of getting loose. Two long, deadly pins were held there, disguised as normal hair pins. All in all she looked like a formidable warrior hime.

"Kami-sama, there is an outfit I haven't seen in a long time. Has she forgotten what it does to me?" Heero growled, his eyes raking over her body.

"Wow, you look so regal!" Syaoran exclaimed as he walked in wearing his Li clan outfit.

"Thank you Syaoran." Atalanta said softly.

At that moment, light burst out on the foreheads of Duo, Quatre and Wufei as they transformed into their Sennen Hanyou selves. Trowa did so also.

"Shin? Leo? Lupus? Shenlong?" Atalanta questioned shakily and she reached out to them with a trembling hand.

"We have temporarily taken over the bodies of our reincarnations. I've missed you so much, my twin." Lupus smiled, [A.N. I'll call them by their sennen hanyou names here cause they haven't really come back yet] as he walked up to her and pulled her into his arms for a much-needed hug.

"Ototo, is that really you?" Heero had tears in his eyes as he gazed at his little brother. While Duo had always irritated him, both in this lifetime and the previous one, he had missed his twin greatly.

"Hey Wing." Shin smiled, before latching onto Heero. Both brother sobbed happily as they hugged.

"We do not have long. We have only taken over temporarily for we desired to see you both again and meet your son. It is not yet time for us to return truly." Shenlong said with a sad smile as he tilted Syaoran's' chin up to regard him properly.

"We miss you all so much. It's so hard not having you with us truly." Atalanta sniffled as she pulled back from Lupus so she could hug Trowa.

"We will still be here, Lan, watching over you from the back ground. Know that our reincarnations already have a great fondness for you and Syaoran. You have done well with him and I am proud of him." Trowa said, gently rubbing her back in a soothing manner.

"Even my reincarnation has started to develop respect for you, onna," Shenlong's use of the word was affectionate, unlike Wufei, "Defeat him in this spar like you did me so long ago and the respect will solidify."

"Please, don't tell Rika about this. I do not wish to hurt her any more then I am doing so with my absence in her life. And please, search for my Hotaru. The reason why Rika and my reincarnation shared that nightmare about her death is because we can sense her presence in the realm of the living. She is out there somewhere, reborn like we were." Shin requested.

"We will start searching at once, little brother. I miss you all my friends. Come back to us soon." Heero, Atalanta and Syaoran stepped back as the glows disappeared and the souls receded.

"What just happened?" Duo asked, looking around in confusion.

"One day, we may tell you." Atalanta whispered sadly as the last of her tears trickled down her face before she wiped them away.

"Choose your weapons Wufei, Atalanta." Heero ordered.

Wufei chose a deadly-looking katana, while Atalanta picked her beloved Shukusen. The spar began.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As Atalanta and Wufei spared on one side of the dojo, Syaoran was going through his kata on the other side. He was being watched over and corrected by Heero.

"Heero sure acts like Syaoran's father sometimes." Duo commented.

Trowa snorted softly at the truth of Duo's words. He had been acting when the other souls surfaced.

"I think it's nice. Heero needs a family and Syaoran needs a father." Quatre stated.

"Atalanta and Syaoran have bother been good for Heero. He's changed for the better and is a lot healthier then he ever was before meeting up with them." Trowa said.

"That's very true. All the time he spent with his laptop was not good for him." Duo agreed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Atalanta won the spar by knocking Wufei's katana out of his hand and pinning him to ground with one of her shukusen pressed against his neck.

"Yield." She ordered.

"I yield." Wufei said, and Atalanta let him up, "An honorable fight. You have my respect."

"Thank you Wufei. Coming from you that means a lot." Atalanta bowed respectfully.

"Tell me, why does Syaoran wear the outfit of the Li clan on it? They are my family via my mother." Wufei questioned.

"He stayed with them for a time while I organized things here. He is most proficient in their style of fighting and now is being taught the style of my family." Atalanta explained.

"It is getting late, we'd best go now." Quatre commented.

"I'll see you out. It was nice seeing you all again." Atalanta took them upstairs.

"Likewise. Good luck with the rest of your exams." Duo grinned.

"Good luck to you four also." Atalanta said, before they headed down her driveway and to their own house next door. Trowa was the only one to turn around and see a single tear trail down her face as she dropped her human disguise and head back inside, closing the door behind her.
