And he saw Venelana, sat on the bed, looking at the tray of food with a small smile on her face. When she looked up, her jaw dropped.

Her violet eyes met the mismatched eyes of her youngest son's, and she slowly stood up. She and Kenji were close to the same height, with Kenji only being slightly taller.
"My baby boy…" she whispered, stepping towards him. "Is that really you?"
Her eyes took in every single aspect of his appearance: his hair was longer, and a lot more wild-looking than normal. Most of it was dyed dark silver, and the bangs were left Kenji's normal crimson, which just seemed to suit him more than having all his hair crimson.
His body was more muscular, a LOT more muscular than before. He also held himself a lot differently than when he was younger.
When he was younger, Kenji held himself like a person who was ready to fly at someone without any notice whatsoever.
On the other hand, this Kenji held himself in a much more relaxed manner. There was still that battle-ready edge to him, but he seemed a lot calmer.
Venelana, close to tears, looked back into his eyes, and saw that they were slowly filling up with tears as well.
"Yeah, Mom. " Kenji's voice sounded from his mouth, confirming who he was in Venelana's eyes.
"It's me. "
That did it. Venelana ran forward, and engulfed her youngest son in a hug, letting out her sobs, her tears, and more importantly, the pure, unbridled happiness that she got to hug her youngest son like a mother should, into Kenji's shoulder.
Kenji wrapped his single arm (that Venelana somehow hadn't noticed) around her, letting her cry.
Silent tears fell from his eyes as well, but he was happy.
Mother and son had been reunited.
Kenji and Venelana held their hug for about half a minute. Zest slipped away, thinking that mother and son could use some time alone together.
"Kenji. .
. " Venelana said, sitting down on the bed, and indicating that Kenji do the same.
"Can we. .
. can we talk?"
"Sure we can, Mom. " Kenji replied.
"I know you'll want to talk to the son you've been missing for over a year; the same son who is now sitting beside you, and missing an arm. " Venelana gave a small laugh, before what Kenji said really registered with her.
"You've lost. .
. you lost your arm?!" She stared at the stub of flesh where Kenji's left arm used to be in abject horror.
"When did you lose it?!" The brunette asked. "It wasn't gone when you showed up to stop Levi bringing me back!"
"That's the point. " Kenji replied.
"I lost it, or got rid of it, during the fight with Levi. " He then recounted the experience of fighting the Strongest Knight, him being caught by Levi, and him having to blow off his own arm to get away from him.
"I. .
. " Venelana stammered, after Kenji finished recounting.
"I'm. .
. flattered that you'd sacrifise an arm for me, Kenji, but do you realise what you've done to yourself, by blowing off your arm?"
"Yes, Mom, I realise what I've done to myself. " Kenji replied.
"And according to Albedo, I'll have healed in a few hours. "
"What?" Venelana said, her eyes wide. "Who's Albedo? How will you have healed? You can't regenerate a lost limb, Kenji, only members of the House of Phenex and Vampires can heal their injur-"
"Kenji is a part-vampire. " Albedo's voice made itself known, as Albedo, clad in nothing but a black dressing down, stepped into Kenji's room.
"So-" She noticed Venelana.
"Oh, hey sis. " Kenji said.
He turned to Venelana. "Mom, this is Albedo, my older foster sister.
Albedo, this is Venelana Bael, my mother. "
"I see. " Albedo said.
"Hello, Venelana. "
"H-hello. " Venelana replied, reeling from what Kenji had said.
"What do you mean, foster sister?" She asked, Kenji.
"Kenji means that he was adopted by my and my older sister's father. " Albedo replied.
"Who is your father?" Venelana asked, looking between Kenji and Albedo.
"Azazel. " Kenji replied, quietly.
"The Governer-General of the Fallen Angels is my adopted father. I consented to being adopted by him, Mom, before you ask.
"
"Oh. " Venelana still looked very shocked from the news.
"Well, as long as you're happy with him. .
. "
"I am. " Kenji replied.
"Azazel's been a great Dad to me over the past few months, and I have two amazingly hot older sisters. "
"And as long as you're still MY baby boy. .
. " Venelana said, looking at Kenji, who hugged his mother with his single arm.
"Mom, you know I'll always be your son, no matter what. " He said.
"Then I have no problem. " Venelana replied.
"But. .
. what's this about being a part-vampire?" As an answer, Kenji revealed his vampiric fangs.
"I am a part-vampire, Mom. " He said.
"So I can do all the things vampires can do. I can gain power through sucking people's blood, and I can regenerate my wounds, among other perks.
Speaking of which, when will my arm have regenerated, sis?"
"I'd say in a couple of hours. " Albedo replied, looking at Kenji's stub of a left arm.
"Thanks. " Kenji replied.
"You can go. " Albedo left.
"You're just like Rias' Bishop. " Venelana murmered.
"Rias' Bishop is half-vampire half-Devil. "
"But I'm not just part-vampire. " Kenji said.
"I'm also. .
. " he closed his eyes, and unfurled his 16 wings.
The sight of those wings made Venelana almost faint from surprise.
"You're part-Dragon and part. .
. part-Fallen Angel, as well?" She whispered.
". .
. Yes.
" Kenji replied, with his eyes closed. "I understand if you hate me like this, Mom, but-" Venelana gave Kenji a hug.
"Don't be silly, Kenji. I don't hate you, I'll never hate you.
" She said. "It's just a lot to take in, that's all.

"Thanks, Mom. " Kenji replied.
