Shizuku and Hiroshi stood bewildered on the ground watching the surprise their uncle said about.
In front of them stood their parents, Niklaus Mikaelson and Yoshiko Mahoroshi, with small nervous smiles on their faces.
“Maa…Paaa.” Shizuku and Hiroshi ran to them, hugged them tightly, and sobbed in their warmth. Their parents were also having tears in their eyes.
After the heartwarming reunion, everyone was sitting in the principal's room. Shizuku was sitting with her father, and Hiroshi was sitting with his mother.
“Didn’t you miss me, Paa?” Shizuku asked Niklaus.
Niklaus caressed her hair and replied, “Of course, I have missed you more than anyone here.” He replied smugly, eyeing his wife.
Yoshiko saw this and rolled her eyes. Niklaus then talked with his son while Yoshiko went to her daughter,” So, Shizu, I want to meet that Prince Charming of yours.”
Shizuku’s eyes twinkled upon hearing it. “Mama, did you get my letter? And…and you read it?” Shizuku asked curiously.
“Of course, my little girl has written a letter for me. And I should read it right without showing it to your uncles and Dad.” Shizuku nodded her head as yes. “Fortunately, Hedwig had brought it when no men were around. So I got the letter and read it cautiously. Also, your secret is safe with me. Now I want to meet your prince.” Yoshiko said with a gleeful smile.
Just then, there was a knock on the door. Rebekah went and opened it. There she saw Hoshiko along with Shinji, standing with nervous smiles on their faces.
“Come in, both of you.” She allowed them to enter the room. The twins saw them and their eyes lit up. Hiroshi stood and went to Hoshiko. He then brought her near his parents and introduced her, “Maa…Paa, meet Hoshiko, my girlfriend.” Niklaus and Yoshiko greeted the girl, and they loved her in their first meeting. Shizuku also stood and went near Shinji, seeing it her aunt grinned. “Maa…Paa, now it’s my turn. Meet my prince-charming, Shinji Salvatore.” Shinji smiled nervously at her parents.
Hearing her words, Niklaus nearly had a heart attack, but thanks to his hybrid status. He can’t die. Yoshiko and Rebekah hide their smiles seeing Niklaus’s face, and Taroshi made a crying face. “No!” Niklaus shouted at them. Everyone turned to him. “No, you are still small, little one. You can’t have a boyfriend now, only.” Niklaus said, shocking her.
Shizuku’s eyes widened in shock, and she said, “Hiroshi is also my age. Then why can he have a mate and I can’t?” She asked him angrily. Shinji stood thunderstruck with her audacity while Niklaus gulped, seeing his little one in angry mode. “He is a boy, my little one, who can take care of himself. You are my little fragile girl, and what if this Shinji hurts you? I can’t see you in pain, my little girl.” Her father tried to explain.
Shinji smiled at Niklaus' concern and replied, “I promise you, sir, I won’t hurt Shizuku. If anyone else tries to hurt me, I won't let them live to watch the next sunrise.” He spoke in all seriousness. Shizuku then regarded her Dad and signed him to see the truthfulness of Shinji. Niklaus then gazed at his sister and wife, who nodded their heads as yes. “Trust me, Niklaus. He is a good man for our Shizzy. And do you think I or Taroshi will let anyone be friends with our Shizuku? We have seen his sincerity and love for our little niece. Accept their love, Niklaus.” Rebekah tried to convince her brother. Niklaus thought for a moment and then said, “Alright! Give me some time.” Shizuku grinned at her father, and then, holding Shinji’s hand, she ran out of the principal’s room.
Niklaus stood there stupefied, and others laughed.
The next morning, Taroshi entered the twins' class with a new girl named “Luna.”
“Good morning, children. The girl beside me is a new student, and her name is Luna. She is going to be one among you guys from today.”
Taroshi introduced Luna to the class and left from there. After that, Luna went and sat on the first bench. Shizuku and Hiroshi eyed each other.
It was breaktime, Shizuku’s friends, along with Hiroshi along his friends, met in Hoshiko’s hostel dorm room. Everyone was sitting on the beds. Shizuku stood near the window, thinking. “Shizzy, did you also feel that bad vibe in the morning when Luna came into the class?” Hiroshi asked his twin. Shizuku turned to them and replied,” Yeah, and I felt like she knows my powers.”
"Hoshiko, I also kind of got that bad feeling from her. I think we all felt that. Right, guys?” She asked her other friends. They all nodded their heads as yes.
“Do you think she is that, Odessa”? Shizuku put her doubt in front of them. “What? But isn’t she an old woman? Like the same age as your mom or aunt.”
Akatsuki asked with her eyes frowning. Hiroshi answered, "No. She is an old woman like our mom. But once I and Shizzy heard that her family also belongs to the Chameleon bloodline. They change their face and body accordingly, like a Chameleon.”
“Woah, that’s a problem then.” Shinji said, “Yup! So, from now onwards, we need to be alert. We should keep an eye on each activity of hers.”
Hiroshi said in his final tone. Everyone nodded their heads, agreeing to his words.
A month after the joining of Luna in the Mystic School. Everything was going good until that day. Ruri, one of the twins from the caretakers of Shizuku and Hiroshi, went missing. Shizuku and Hiroshi stood worried in front of their mansion, seeing Yuri crying uncontrollably. They immediately ran to her and enquired, ”Yuri…What happened?”
“Ruri…Ruri…went missing.” She cried out loudly, hugging Shizuku.
Shizuku and Hiroshi eyed each other worriedly and took her inside the mansion to calm her down.
Shizuku then sat beside Yuri on the bed, “Yuri, please calm down. We need to know what exactly happened.”
Yuri calmed down, “This morning, like every day, she went to bring vegetables from the market. Every day she comes back in 15 minutes, but today, even after waiting for 1 hour, she didn’t return. I got worried and tried to do the location spell. But it didn't work. Also, I felt like something powerful was blocking me. From then I am scared what would have happened to her?”
She cried while hugging Shizuku. “Do you think someone was cloaking her?” Shizuku asked her twin brother. Hiroshi nodded his head as yes and replied, “Yuri felt a powerful spell blocking her from doing the locator spell. So, it’s obvious someone is cloaking Ruri with a powerful cloaking spell.” “And if we go deep into today’s happenings, Luna was absent from the school today, and Akatsuki told me that Luna had applied for leave for 15 days,” Shizuku said thoughtfully.
Hiroshi stared at his twin in bewilderment, "You mean to say Luna is the one behind Ruri’s disappearance?” Shizuku nodded her head as yes.
The next morning, Shizuku, along with her friends and her twinnie’s friends, gathered in Shinen Mansion. “Shizuku and Hiroshi, do you guys know the reason behind Luna's acting up?” Taroshi asked them.
“I guess we know Uncle Taroshi, and we are all ready to face it,” Hiroshi said, determinedly holding his twinnie’s hand.
“Akatsuki, you mean the coming full moon day is a blood red moon day?”
Shinji looked at his mate, and Hoshiko also eyed her mate. “Yup! Coming blood moon day, Luna is going to sacrifice me and my twin.” Shizuku said. “But she is not going to win. We are not going to lose, you guys,” Shinji said with authority.
