AN: Thanks to everyone who's reviewed. I'm sorry this came out late, with everything going on plus schoolwork, it's gonna be a little slower. Sorry bout that.

"Are you prepared for your trip to Tibet next week, Houjun?" Kenji asked.

Houjun blinked. "Uh, hai, I've packed what I'm bringing."

"Iie, that's not what I mean. You seem to have grown quite fond of tutoring those two boys. Are you prepared to leave them?" Kenji asked sitting next to Houjun.

"I-No. I don't think so. There's something about Genrou. I almost don't want to leave. He's become one of my best friends," Houjun said with a smile.

"What are you going to do? If you leave next week, you'll probably never see him again. He is 17, he graduates next year," Kenji pointed out.

Houjun frowned. "I hadn't thought of that," he admitted.

"Perhaps you should consider it. And maybe tell Genrou, cause I don't think he'll be pleased…" Kenji said with a cryptic smile and left. Houjun watched, quite confused, as the red-haired man left.

"Why would Genrou be upset…?" Houjun asked himself.

"Ne, Gen-chan, what's wrong? You've been staring at that damn thing for hours," Kouji said trying to take the object away from his obsessive brother.

"Yo! Stop that! This is mine! And it was mine in my last life, I just can't figure out how to work it…" Genrou stated, looking at the tessen with interest.

"Well, you might not wanna get it to work in here, especially if it's supposed ta shoot fire," Kouji pointed out.

"Good point… Hey! I got an idea!" Genrou said and grabbed his book bag and threw the tessen in there and grabbed Kouji.

"Yo, hold up! What's going on?" Kouji asked. Genrou stopped halfway down the stairs.

"We're goin ta th' library!" Genrou said grinning.

Kouji blinked, then grinned.

"Gotcha Gen-chan," Kouji said.

"Hey mom, can Kouji and I go to the library. We need to research some stuff for a report for Houjun," Genrou said, complainingly.

"My, actually trying to work. I knew this tutor would be good for you. Since you've been behaving so well the last few weeks, and didn't cause problems at the museum, take the afternoon off. Just stay out of trouble," their mom said kindly.

"Thanks mom!" the two boys said together and hugged her.

Then, they ran out the door to freedom.

Their mom smiled watching them and shook her red mane and laughed softly.

"They never change."

Houjun sighed as he walked to the library. Things only seemed to be getting weirder. He decided to go to the library to look up some historical information on the Konan Empire, if he could. Houjun tried to stay hidden in the shadows cause people were looking at him weird for holding such a strange staff.

Finally arriving at the steps of the National Library, Houjun smiled as he saw Genrou pulling Kouji up the stairs.

"Genrou! Kouji!" Houjun called. Both boys froze and turned around.

Kouji raised and eyebrow and Genrou laughed when they saw him. Houjun sighed and caught up to them.

"You too, Houjun?" Genrou asked.

"Huh?" Houjun blinked.

Genrou opened his book bag and pointed at the tessen.

"Ah, hai. Odd seeing you here though," Houjun said.

"Mom actually let us outta the house, so, I kinda figured that if I wanna find out what the hell's goin on. This is the one place I'd get an idea," Genrou explained.

"I never thought you were capable of such intelligence, Genrou. I think you've been hanging around me too long," Houjun said smirking.

Genrou tried to glare. Kouji just burst out laughed.

"That's true, gay-boy here is like obsessed with you…" Kouji started to say but was cut off by Genrou's book bag, and tessen hitting him on the head.

"Damn it, that hurt Genrou!" Kouji yelled rubbing the bump on his head.

"Good, it was s'pposed ta!" Genrou said. "And I'm not gay!"

"Yeah, yeah, whateva," Kouji said and entered the library, Genrou following him.

Obsessed? Maybe he might… Houjun shook his head and followed the brothers, his smile never fading.

Houjun looked around the library, and noticed a staircase leading up to a dark corner of the library. He raised an eyebrow, but felt like he should check it out. He started up the stairs when he heard someone behind him. He turned around and saw no one. Houjun sighed and continued up the stairs until he found the reference room.

"Holy…" Houjun whispered as he saw a red light flash in the room, he quickly entered and saw a nothing more then a book on the floor, glowing red.

"Oi, Houjun, whatcha… What the hell?!?" Genrou asked, coming up behind him and seeing the glowing red book.

"What's going on? Is this the Universe of the Four Gods?" Houjun asked, walking towards the book.

Houjun picked up the book and suddenly, both him and Genrou disappeared in a bright flash of light, leaving Kouji blinking in shock.

"Holy shit…" he whispered.
