(Japan airport)

At the collection point, many different people were exiting. Some were perhaps coming home, some perhaps for tourism or maybe both.

???" Where is the damn brat? I could have stayed home relaxing while reading my por, cough, cough, I mean daily newspaper."

???" As perverted as ever, Baka-Oyaji."

???" EHHHH. Oh, it's just you Kei. You seriously need to stop doing that, your going to give this old man a heart attack one day."

Kei said nothing and just rolled his eyes at his adopted father while walking away, and Nanjiroh trying to catch up with him.

Nanjirō Echizen, forty years old has 3 sons and is happily married, with a good amount of money on his name.

He is also known as Samurai Nanjirō or Samurai from the land of the Sakura for his invincible tennis skills during his earlier years as a professional tennis player.

He is one of the players to have reached the Pinnacle of Perfection and master it.

The reason he was picking up his adopted son was because his wife wanted to make sure he was safe, as he was technically the youngest child of the three brothers.

When Nanjirō heard his wife say she was worried, all he could do was sweatdrop, as whoever even tried to hurt this kid would be in for a wake-up call to the hospital.

( Echizen Residence)

As the sun was setting Kei and his dad had finally made it home. Their house was of old Japanese tradition with 6-metre walls encompassing a large area. The entrance had a stong wooden gate.

Once getting inside you would notice that the house was also built like old Japanese homes. There was also Tennis court and few sakura trees which were in bloom.

Entering the house Kai didn't have time to take of his shoes as a shadow tackled him to the ground.

???" Kei-kun mama missed you so much. How was Korea, were you bullied, did you eat well, what was the weather like."

This woman was Rinko Echizen, my adoptive mother. She works as an attorney, which had been her long-time dream and she met Nanjiro while playing tennis when she got hurt from saving a boy from an abusive tennis coach. 

She's a beautiful woman with short brown hair and eyes. she's quite tall for a woman but just a bit shorter then dad. She's sweet but can be strong-willed, overprotective and hard-headed at times.

Well, she's only like that when it comes to her children tho.

Kei" I'm fine mom, just a bit hungry."

Rinko" Oh, I forgot about dinner. I'll start right away, while you unpack and greet everyone else."

Nodding he finally took off his shoes and went to his room. Once he entered he couldn't help but have a slight smile on his face. It was just like how he had left it.

Kei" Looks like mum's been cleaning it every day."

Once Kei finished unpacking he went around the houses to greet everyone. The first person he met was his cousin. She was a beautiful girl with long dark blue hair and eyes with bangs that cut straight across her forehead.

She was 17 years old and was attending college nearby. That's why she was staying with us. She was a kind and sweet girl, that acted like a mother or sister. Well, she only acted like that with his two elder brothers. My relationship with her was a bit complicated.

But that's a story for another time. After greeting her I went around looking for my brother. But it seemed he hadn't come home yet.

As dinner wasn't ready Kei, thought he would take a quick nap in his room.

(3 hours later)

Nanjiroh" Hahaha I can't believe it. You actually got disqualified for arriving late just because a girl told you the wrong directions. Hahahaha oh my god, that's hilarious."

As his dad was laughing at Ruyuma with all might. I was on the same side of the dinner table trying to suppress my smirk.

Ryoma was getting annoyed at his father and brother's laughter as a tick mark grew on his forehead.

Ryoma" Tch, Baka-Oyaji. There's no need to laugh that much." He muttered in annoyance.

After that fair bit of banter, the family had a nice dinner while I told them about my stay in Korea. And how I met a new friend named lee ina.

As I told them my story they also told me there's. Apparently, while I went abroad, Ryoma did too. He won four junior tournaments in America in little over a year. He had just returned a month ago so he could go to school.

After the meal, it was around 10:00 pm, so it was time to hit the sticks as tomorrow school would start.

As I was heading to bed a noise caught my attention. Looking at the table on the side of my bed I see my phone vibrating.

Seeing someone call, I pick it up and smile at the caller's Id.

???[ How was the flight did you make it ok.] The sound of a woman come through.

Kei[ Safe and sound, how was school.]

???[ It was ok had to break a few bones of perverted men, but otherwise fine. I just called in to make sure you were ok. And to say goodnight...So goodnight.]

Kei[ Goodnight, and sweet dreams.] He said as he was about to up hang.

???[ ....KEI.....One last thing.] She said.

Kei[ yeah.]

???[ ....I love you.....alrightgottogoby.]

Beeeeeeeep, and with that final line she hangs up without giving Kei any time to react.

Kei" HAHAH, sigh, I love you too." Sadly Kai never got say it. But he knew that she knew.
