The first Christmas.

Sirius didn't wake up feeling like a child on Christmas Day. Maybe it was because he was dead tired after yesterday's Explosion Alchemy test, or maybe he just lost his Christmas spirit. Luckily, he had a girlfriend who could get him out of the "depression basement," as she began to call the place.

Yesterday the catgirl pulled him out of the basement saying that he would soon start calling everyone "dunderheads" and made him sleep in her room, not that Sirius was against it.

Luna had been able to get her animagus form in the past two months and, to the little surprise of the others, she was a small two-tailed silver cat.

After completing the transformation, the second tail remained even in its human form. Luna just looked at it and continued her day, the second tail did not change her life much. So Sirius was not surprised when he felt a cat jumping on his chest.

He took Moonbean - the name of Luna's cat form - in his arms and hugged her, enjoying her warmth. The cat meowed in protest and tried to break free of his grip, but Sirius wouldn't budge. Finally, realizing that he was not going to move, the cat turned into a human. Luna pouted on the still sleeping Black and poked him on the cheek.

"Mmhm. . ."

"Wake up, it's Christmas! Do you want to sleep on such an important day? Heliopaths will not be happy with your behavior, young man!"

"You do understand that I am the oldest in this house. . ?" He muttered sleepily in response. "And if the Heliopaths are unhappy, then let them wake me up themselves. I am ready to accept this fate."

The Heliopaths the girl spoke of was a metaphor for their friends. Sirius was already so used to Luna speaking that he was automatically decrypting her words.

Suddenly he felt pain in his shoulder and opened his eyes to look at the cause. Luna bit him. Hard.

". . . Okay, I'm getting up." Sirius let go of the catgirl who smiled brightly and skipped towards the living room.

After a little thought, Sirius's body was covered with a flash of red lightning and a sweater appeared on him along with warm pants. The sweater showed the silhouettes of Basilisks in the places where they usually sat on his body. His pants were half red, half green with different animals running across his legs.

After thinking a little more, Sirius's body was again covered with red lightning and he turned into a rather large black cat. In this form, he had more excuses to sleep. Sirius' animal forms were given the name Sirius - since he could become anything.

As soon as he entered the living room, he felt someone's hands lift him and wasn't surprised to see Karin. The girl smiled and sat Sirius on her shoulders. He didn't like being treated like that, but he could let the girl have her Christmas moment.

"Mom! Look, he's not running away!"

Karin happily ran over to Azumi, who was setting American dishes on the table. As it turned out, the woman with a Japanese name was not so Japanese. But in this house of six people, there are only four humans, so no one cared about her origin. Azumi looked at Alex with amusement in her eyes and stroked the cat's head.

"Maybe this is one of your gifts for Christmas. But don't take him for yourself for the whole day, Luna will be jealous."

Karin looked at the catgirl from the corner of her eye and nodded seriously. Midoriya entered the living room from the kitchen and put the glasses on the table. The green-haired teenager looked at Alex with pity and wiped a fake tear from his eye.

"They grow so fast! I remember as if only yesterday you were just an old man, and today you are already a cat! I'm so proud of you, Sirius!"

Sirius rolled his eyes and sent a Wandless Pinching Curse at the leg of the only guy in the house beside him. Unfortunately, he dodged the Spell and it crashed against the wall without causing any harm.

"Mrew!"

Sirius meowed in annoyance and jumped off Karin's shoulders, transforming into his thirteen-year-old version right in the air.

"Ah! Siri's gone. . ."

Midoriya just looked at him with a thoughtful expression.

"Why do you still look thirteen if your birthday was five months ago? Shouldn't you be fourteen now?"

The four-hundred-year-old immediately looked a little older and snatched a sandwich off the table and fell by the fireplace that he had specially transmuted for the day. Basilisks also lay next to the fire trying to keep warm in this cold winter just as their constantly freezing comrade. Luna lay down on him, using his chest as a pillow, and glanced at the clock on the wall.

"When is Gin coming?"

"I'm not sure. She wrote that she was coming in two hours and that was three hours ago."

The front door flew open to reveal Gin wearing a Santa Claus outfit with an obvious steampunk kick and a long white beard covered in oil.

"HO-HO-HO! MERRY CHRISTMAS BITCHES!"

"GIN HAGANE!" Azumi's furious voice thundered.

"Oh shi-"

"What did I say about using such a language under this roof?!"

Sirius looked at the scene in front of him and sweatdropped.

"Why does it feel like I was getting the same lecture that Gin is getting now?"

"Maybe you got it at a different time in a different place." Luna hummed and glanced at the watch again as if expecting something.

After a short lecture from Azumi, Gin was able to place her gifts with the others under the Christmas tree. There were many colorful boxes and a couple of shapeless sacks, all of them were signed from whom the gift was and to whom it was addressed.

A few minutes later, everyone was sitting at the table and talking about the future.

"And how do you feel in your new home after all this time?" Sirius asked Karin with interest.

"Great! Mom and I weren't that safe before but this place was never attacked, I even made friends! I've never had friends!"

"That's good. I didn't have many friends as a kid, so try to make as many as you can."

"What about you, Izuku?" Luna asked while cutting the chicken.

"Well. . . Now that I don't have to live in the same house with HIM," He spat the word out. "my life is much better. To be honest, I felt happy lately. For the first time in ten years."

After that slightly sad note, the rest of the evening was filled with delicious food and laughter. And soon it was time to open the presents.

First, there were gifts for the Basilisks and each of them received a small piercing on the tip of their tail. Each piercing has been enchanted as a beacon for Sirius's senses so that he can Apparate to them when needed.

Karin was the first human to open her gifts as the youngest in the family. Her gifts were nothing special, but here are two of them. . .

"That's a Beretta 92."

"And a book on Alchemy. I don't even know which one is more dangerous." Izuku muttered to himself.

"I'll teach you how to shoot a little later, sweetheart." Azumi said while patting her daughter on the head.

Izuku opened his gifts next and was shocked. He now had a personal Expanded Bag, a combat army knife, a teddy bear, a personal Hero - more like Vigilante - suit made by Gin, and a sketch for strange tattoos on both arms.

"This-"

"This is something I saw on the arms of the one Alchemist in my memories. Yes, you can't perform large-scale Transmutations, but you can open a gap in the armor of your enemies. Or a gap in their flesh." Sirius said with a sadistic smile only to get a slap on the head from Luna.

"Stop, you're scaring Karin."

Gin received a bunch of rare parts created by all the inhabitants of the house together. Even Karin helped by checking their integrity with her Quirk.

When it was Azumi's turn, she was a little confused. While the others had a few gifts, she only had three. One from Karin, one from Izuku and Gin, and one from Luna and Sirius.

From Karin, she received an album with photographs of their new family, which melted the hearts of everyone in the room. But here are the gifts from teenagers. . .

The first was a Vigilante costume, made by joint efforts of Izuku and Gin. And the second was a small book with many names and photographs of different people.

"We know that you and Karin will not be safe while the Gray Fangs are hunting you. So we have gathered the appropriate equipment. They collected information about each member of the gang and wrote it in this book." Gin pointed her hammer at the book and went back to work on another invention.

Azumi could only hug the four teenagers and her daughter, she was speechless.

Luna was next, and of her gifts, only one was the most interesting. The blood-red Stone lay in the smallest box, and as soon as the catgirl saw it, her eyes widened.

"Siri, how did you. . ?"

"This is Solidarity. I found this Stone in a museum in England while checking the aftermath of our stunt in Innsmouth. I haven't seen a Homunculus with that name before, so I don't know where it came from, but I suspect that sooner or later we will find the answer to this question."

"With this, we can age me without the chance of our inevitable death. . ."

"Wait, what? You can die from aging?" Karin asked confused and Azumi had to explain to her daughter just why she shouldn't listen to her honorary aunt or uncle.

Luna jumped on Sirius and snogged the brains out of him. They were brought out of their trance by Azumi's cough, who nodded at the remaining gifts.

Sirius opened his gifts and found inside a set of throwing knives, warm pink gloves with white rabbits from Karin that she made personally, a diary of the old Alchemist from Izuku, a box of condoms from Gin with a note {Get ready, loverboy. Cats get restless during spring.} And Luna gave him enchanted glasses that allowed him to see the same thing as she did.

"It will be quite helpful. Thank you, little moon."

Sirius kissed Luna on the forehead and the girl purred happily.

In the end, everyone was happy with their presents for Christmas, but the catgirl still had tricks up her sleeve. She glanced at the watch again and smiled like a loon.

"Why are you smiling like that?" Sirius asked stroking her hair.

"Just watch."

". . . That was even worse than my puns."

The lights in the room began to slowly dim, and when the only light source was the fireplace, the show began.

The fiery figures began to dance in the flames and jumped out of the fireplace, they did not touch the floor and it seemed that they were jumping on invisible platforms. Even the Basilisks looked at the dance of fiery people, during their short life they did not see much, therefore even such a trifle was interesting to them.

Karin looked at everything with stars in her eyes and even touched one of the dancers. He only warmed a little but did not burn the girl - Luna knew how to prevent accidents. By the time the fire went out, everyone except Sirius, Luna, and Azumi was already asleep. Izuku and Gin fell asleep next to each other, with Karin lying asleep across their laps. Azumi may or may not have taken hundreds upon hundreds of pictures of her cute daughter.

"Well. . . are you ready for the ritual?"

"As ready as I'll ever be."

There were two people in the basement of the House of the Rising Sun, Luna, and Sirius - in his older form. On the floor of the dark room was an Alchemist Circle for biological Transmutation which was surrounded by Ancient Norse Runes. Luna lay naked in the middle of the Circle with a blood-red Philosopher's Stone on her chest. The blending of Magic and Alchemy allowed Sirius to eliminate the main problem of human aging.

Transmutation, Potions and even Transfiguration took life energy from a Wizard or Alchemist who is aging himself. But Sirius was able to power the Transmutation Circle with the help of the Runes and replace the life energy with the energy of the Philosopher's Stone.

The moonlight fell on Luna's skin through the window and hit the Stone. The circle flashed with red lightning and the girl began to change. Pain shot through her body and she felt her muscles, skin, bones and even nails begin to grow and change. She couldn't use any other Potions or Spells to relieve the pain, so she just had to endure.

The stone began to dissolve into her skin and gradually it disappeared into her body. The lightning abruptly disappeared and the room plunged back into darkness.

Sirius waved his Wand and the room was filled with light again. Luna no longer looked like a teenager but as a young woman in her twenties and she will look like that for a long time to come. Witches and Wizards age much slower than normal people after all.

Her silver hair has grown to the waist and is as smooth as silk. Her breasts have become larger, but not enough to be called huge. Her thighs got a little wider and her belly remained flat. Sirius was mesmerized by the way the moonlight reflected on his girlfriend's skin and was only able to pull away when he heard her groan of pain.

He lifted her into his arms in a princess carry and the catgirl laid her head on his chest, listening to his heartbeat.

"How do you feel?"

"Tired, sore, itchy, and older. It's like after a crazy night full of sex." She replied with a dreamy smile. "I remember how you and I got into a broom closer after the Slughorn's party. I felt the same way after that night."

Sirius tripped over his foot due to Luna's words. He remembered that night too, perhaps too well. McGonagall almost caught them at the act and the strict teacher would not be happy if she did.

". . . Yeah, good times."

The tails of the moon wrapped around Sirius's body and he smiled down at his girlfriend. He stepped into his room and laid the catgirl gently on the bed, letting her tails pull his body with her into the warm sea of ​​sheets. The clothes also disappeared from Black's body and he hugged Luna, who pressed her chest against his own. Her left ear tickled his nose a little, but Sirius didn't care much. Right now, he didn't care about anything at all - except for the little moon in his arms.

"Siri?" She asked sleepily, breathing in his scent.

"Hmm?"

"Love n'ya"

Sirius's heart stopped for a second when he heard Luna. She had never said that she loved him before, it was clear without words. But he was very pleased that she still decided to say it. Black hugged her even tighter and smiled into the crown of her hair.

"Love you too, Luna."

Detective Tsukuchi Naomasa sat in his office at the table and stared blankly at the reports in front of him. After the appearance of Salazar, more and more strange shit began happening in Japan and everything fell on the shoulders of his team.

To begin with, what happened in the central hospital in Tokyo. Not one, but two strangers could get through! If this was not enough, then one Villain - Pride, as Envy called him - killed the another! AND NO ONE NOTICED ANYTHING! Even the child who was in the ward at that time did not notice anything unusual!

But it was just a small and incomprehensible business without any clues to the identity of the Villains, his headache appeared along with three ancient mansions. All over Japan, strange translucent domes began to break under which the mansions of ancient - and long extinct - families were hidden all this time. So now their "distant relatives" wanted to take "their" property, which should have been inherited by them a hundred years ago.

'As if I would believe it. They think they can snatch some money because only a hundred years ago there was a war and "the records could disappear".' The detective chuckled into his coffee.

"Amateurs."

He could only thank God for not having to work on the "Death of Leviophan" case. That was a can of worms he didn't want to open. He also didn't want that other people tried to open the door to his office with such force that it breaks the wall but alas, not all wishes come true. The door to his office flew open and Aomoto ran inside, happily waving a leaf in his hands.

"We found pictures of the two who opened all these mansions! Fuck, how happy I am!" He spoke with tears in his eyes and fell on Naomasa's desk, giving him several photographs and sheets of paper describing their perpetrators.

The detective sighed heavily and took the photos that the same team of reporters who were bombarded with garbage could take. They showed two teenagers holding hands, a girl and a boy, both around thirteen years old.

The guy had black hair and dark green eyes with huge black circles underneath. He was quite tall and skinny. Naomasa had the feeling that he had already seen him somewhere.

The short girl with silver hair and eyes had the same silver ears and a cat's tail. She was a head shorter than the guy and looked like she was a decorative doll with her huge eyes and dreamy smile.

As his gaze fell on the teen identity reports, his jaw hit the floor. The son of Heroes 5 and 8 in England, "Quirkless Bastard" of the Gold family, Alexander Gold. He had been missing for five years when his remaining family died in a Villain attack on Japanese soil. It was a political shitstorm when England's "Golden Boy" was lost.

The girl escaped from the Orphanage, where, according to the local Matron, she was treated more like a pet than a human. Honestly, he understood why they both decided to disappear from the system, but he had a job. The job to get the kids back to safety.
