“am… Yun, when they say the black claw they don’t mean THE black claw right?” Yun closed his mouth and looked to the side “Right?!?” “Lass care to share with the class?” I looked at Anre dumbfounded how could they not know about her “Oh she is just one of the best huntresses on the order remember the shark?” he nodded “The black claw would have killed it by herself in half the time and with less effort any of the named Hunters could they are contacted when there’s something that absolutely needs to die” we walked through the gate as I explained the hierarchy of the hunters, “let me see your license” Parker gave me his it took me a moment to find the information I need “alright think it as a pyramid your license indicate here you are not at the lowest rather you three are on the middle currently you can be contracted for common things the King Jaw Crusher was defiantly out of the league for someone with a rank three or lower” 

I showed them the section “Ranking” where a number three in black appeared “So what are the lowest and the highest?” Parker asked “Lowest would be five Hunters of that rank generally manage very small cases or work as bureaucracy in the order” The garden extended for a moment, flowers and oversized vegetation made the way difficult “One is not the highest, all hunters, and huntresses make a name for themselves but when the order assigned you one it means you are on another level you can basically kill anything big or small” the guys jumped out of the way of an incoming wood log, “especially when that “small” thing trespass your property” the sound of a whip cracking the air sounded through the air, and when the dust settles THE Black Claw was glaring at us.

“not many come this way many want to keep their heads attached to their shoulders” The Black Claw a woman in her late twenties her onyx-colored hair dangled in the air, a heavy coat covered partially her shirt and pants she was holding a silver whip that ended in three shape claws, “Bird catch your tongue? Tell me why should I not tear you to ribbons” she cracked her whip again “I have to keep Yu-Yu´s home safe they probably want to wreck it”  she tough “oh we don’t want to brake anything actually” Yun put his hand over my shoulder “let me handle her” we all let him though “I see so is MQR in town? Or this is just your day look?” Yun laughed “I let a friend do my makeup, what's your excuse?” The woman tensed her whip and looked Yun up and down “Do I know you Emo guy?” he laughed harder “Of course you would be fooled by this” The woman was visibly angry at the comment, and in a moment Yun was tangled by her whip and smacked against the ground, she recoiled her weapon and put Yun in her face “Wanna say that to my face punk?” you coughed for a moment “Losing you touch Kanaria? I think you just broke one rib”

The black claw took a hanker-shift from her pocket and whipped the black and white make-up from Yun's face, her mouth dropped to the ground when she met with Yun's natural face “Yu-Yu!!!” she didn’t undo the binds, she just hugged Yun for a while “Kanaria… its been five minutes you can-” “No! Last time you were here you said “Don’t worry Kana, we will be back in a few hours” and it has been over two years, you selfish little bird” She recovered her weapon and let him go “Give me a moment” she turned her back and started to think hard “just my luck!!! And to think I was going to wear a dress and he is right my make-up is all wrong,  uggghh why did I not listen to the horoscope today!”  So the Black Claw has this kind of thought too, interesting.

“I… I know what I said but” Yun returned the hug “I missed you too Kana” Was it tiredness, some sense of normalcy, or the embrace of someone who didn’t think of him as a murderer, no matter the cause Yun rested his head on her shoulder and looked for a second truly at pice “Welcome home Yun… are they going to be staring at us for much longer?” we all got closer after the moment “Kana this is my friends Anre, Parker and the little one is Karolin” “I´m sorry if I was rude I didn’t know Yun made more friends, come on let's talk in the side “oh that´s all well and dandy but” Anre Pulled Yun into a tight hug “let's be clear only I hug Yunni and maybe the girl” Kanaria moved closer and put her face near Anre´s “are you looking for a fight buddy? Get your paws off him!” “Get your crone nails off my Yuni!” they both took their weapons out ready to kill each other for Yun “Both of you haven’t changed!” Yun gives them a slap to the back of their necks.  

Yun scolded them once we entered the house “Say it!” Anre and Kanaria said in unison “We promise we won't kill each other” “And?” “Yun belongs to Yun and we have no say over who he hugs” Yun squinted at them and continued “I won't call that dirt… I mean man by the colorful words I used early in front of Karolin” “… and I will behave in this house…” “Now shake hands on it or so god help me I will kick you into the corner!” they shook hands reluctantly “I know this is not the right moment but am… Miss Black Claw can I have your autograph?” she happily signed my notebook “alright now please tell me everything where the hell where you all this time? And what sort of relationship do you have with that man!” “an intimate one, so much so, that we kissed before” Kanaria almost threw her coffee when she heard the words leaving Anre´s mouth “Not happened like that, he gave me CPR!” they explained the situation as Parker and I wondered through his hose.

“I still can't believe Yun used to live and keep this place clean by himself” Praker and I walked through the house looking at some rooms, and of course, I lost Parker when we found the study room filled with books “Hey Parker can I ask you something?” he was looking at some big tome at the desk “what is it? I´m a little bit busy right now” I got closer and closed his book “Do you know of a book named “The Thunderbird”? He thought for a moment “It sounds like a fairy tale or a legend, some books do have that as a title, do you know something else? Perhaps the cover or a passage?” I took a deep breath “The thunderbird was an ugly bird, it had no soft and hollow feathers just bones and mud” he looked into one of the shelves and picked a book “I believe this one starts like that but not the same, its name is similar too” he passed me a book with the constellation of a bird with the name “the night time sparrow”  

I took the book with me and opened it on its first page “The sparrow was a tiny and frail bird, its features were all…” I heard the sound of laughter coming from the end of the hall, I tried to look around but nobody was there, “... he didn't have as many friends as the other birds…” “Hey, big sis over here!” okay I definitely heard someone calling me right now, I walked to the end of the hall but again didn't see anyone maybe all this talk about murders and looking for Yun´s book had gotten to me, Craek!!! One of the previously closed doors opened by itself “Jeje… Nop!” and you see, I might be a lot of things, but one thing I´m not is a horror movie character, I placed the book down and sprinted to the living room, making a point to step into the study room and slapping the book Parker had in his hand so he would follow me.

“wait for rewind, You were confined at the maw of the dead man for two years?!?” we finally got to the important part after I reassured Karanria that Anre and I were just friends, and for some reason, Anre was grumpy about it, “yes Kana I know is hard to believe but…” “Kanaria do you know what a gift is?” she nodded “According to the records of the order of hunters, people that have surrendered their humanity to the moonlight beastes get them but they were taught to be a legend don't tell me…” I nodded and magnetized the spoon on the table to prove it “So… all of you are-” “Yeah, yeah Yun does magnetism, I make things go boom, Parker reinforces papers and the lass does bring things” I give him a light tap to his belly “Anre let her process the information… yeah Kana gifts are real but it didn't happen as you said”

She closed her eyes and breath deeply “I've known you literally all my life, and if there is something I´m sure of is that no matter what you wouldn't hurt a fly that didn't deserve it, nor would you hurt your kids you loved them to dead, tell me everything! How can I help you all?”
