1 Prologue - Welcome home

As a plane landed down in Narita Airport, Japan, a girl with the name Yukimura Kahoru smiled to herself, as she looked out the small window whilst waiting for the plane to stop, so she could let herself step out and breathe the fresh air of her homeland.

The twenty-two year old girl was on the chubby side and sometimes got stared at for her size. Regardless, she was still positive and bright. Her natural dark brown hair was a shoulder length bob with a full fringe that covered her eyebrows.

She had spent five years in the United States studying and becoming an intern at one of her family's medical branches. Kahoru's family owned a few hospitals in some countries and the hospital was well known for their polite and well trained doctors and professional surgeons.

Most of her family members were all in the medical scene. It was natural that she became a doctor. She was training as a general surgeon. Kaho had come back to Japan to visit her family and friends.

As Kahoru left the arrivals gate, her phone started to buzz. She lifted her phone up and accepted the caller."Hello?"

"Kaho-nee! Where are you?" An excited voice had suddenly boomed out.

"I just left arrivals. Where are you ?"

In the corner of her eye stood a pretty tall boy looking around with his phone to his ear as if he was looking for a lost sheep. Kahoru turned towards him and started walking towards him. At this that same time the pretty tall boy turned in her direction.

He immediately hung up and started sprinting towards her. "Kaho-nee! Long time no see!"His smile shined as he waved. He was very happy like a dog that had found his missing bone.

"Long time no see Ryu." Kahoru smiled back. Yukimura Ryutaro is one of Kahoru's three brothers. Two of them were half brothers. She also had a half-sister.

Ryu was her full blooded brother. He was the also only member in the family who didn't choose to become a doctor.

He was in the entertainment industry as a young actor. Ryutaro was younger than Kahoru by three years. He wasn't very well known since he had started just recently but he had somehow accumulated a small fan base. "Let's go home! Everyone is excited to see you!"

"Mm!"

As they drove to the family residence Ryutaro had proceeded to ask many other questions. "How's Mei-nee doing?"

"Good. It's even very busy recently so we haven't had time to talk."

...

Mei was Kahoru's older half-sister who ran the American branch of the Yukira medical group. She was 5 years her senior. She goes by the last name 'Tang' now as she had gotten married to a chinese man named Tang Sheng. They both have a daughter who is two years old. Her name was Rachel.

Shen was a medical student at Harvard university and now he was the owner of the Yukira Medical group now at a young age. He had met Mei at the university and dated for a few years before getting married and having a beautiful little girl.

...

After their small talk, Kahoru had fallen asleep. It had been an hour and a half since they had driven and finally they have arrived at the Yukimura Residence. The residence was located in the south of Tokyo. "Kaho-nee! Wake up. We're home!"

Kahoru slowly opened her eyes then rubbing then with her hands. Ryu grabbed her arm and suddenly dragged her out of the car. "R-Ryu what are you doing?!"

"Everyone is waiting! Hurry up!"

"Let me stretch first." Kahoru gave Ryu an icy glare and his spine shuddered.

"Don't be so cold to me sis..." Ryu pouted.

Kahoru chuckled as she stretched her body. "Don't drag me out of the car like that next time."

As the siblings made their way into the residence, the maids had followed them behind with Kaho's Luggage. Another maid opened the door for them and led them inside. "We're home!"

Ryu suddenly shouted. A few seconds later a head popped out from the living room.

"Kaho-chan! Welcome home!" A middle aged lady ran towards Kaho.

"Mother, I'm home!" The mother and daughter had been reunited and hugged.

"How is everything in America? I hope your sister is not mean to you."

"Everything is fine and Mei-nee is very good to me. I've learnt so much in such a short time!"

"I'm very glad to hear that."

Kahoru's mother Aiko held both of Kaho's hands. While they were chatting, A middle aged man walked up to them. Kaho noticed the man behind her mother. "Father!"

She quickly let go of her mother's hands and excitedly hugged him."How have you been Kaho?"

"I've been good!"

"Makato! Don't steal my daughter from me!" Aiko pouted. Yukimura Makoto is Kahoru's father and the head of the Yukimura family.

"Don't forget about me." A man interrupted.

He looked very tired but he still smiled. He looked to be about ten years older than Kaho.

Next to him was a lady just shorter than Kaho who held a young boy who looked to be around four years old.

It was Kahoru's older brother Yukimura Kenjiro and his wife Yukimura Nana. The young boy was Ren their son. "Onii-san! Nana-onee san! Long time no see! You too Ren-kun!"

Everyone smiled at each other. As they chatted at the doorway, a maid interrupted them. "Sorry for interrupting, breakfast is ready."

The family had sat down at the dinner table ready to eat some breakfast. The chef had served pancakes with a slice of melting butter and a dollop of whipped cream on top. It was sprinkled with kiwi, strawberries, blueberries and bananas.

Then to finish it off with chocolate power and maple syrup. Kaho's eyes twinkled as she cut a piece. When she put the pancake in her mouth her tastebuds exploded. "It's so delicious!"

"Watch your weight. Don't eat so much."

Kaho immediately stopped chewing and opposite her was a boy 2 years younger than her about to sit down. Had a neat appearance and a cold demeanour to him.

He wore rectangle framed glasses. This was kaho's younger half-brother. Yukimura Shintaro. "Shintaro! Long time no see!"

"Yes. Long time no see." Shintaro smiled.

"Oi Shin?! Where did you go last night? You didn't even come home!" Ryutaro complained.

"That isn't your business"

"Don't tell me you were picking up girls without me!"

Shintaro remained silent. He gave a cold stare like summer had suddenly turned into winter. Ryu melt his mouth shut.

Shintaro was a medical student at The University of Tokyo. Unlike his bright personality siblings, he was more quiet and a bit cold. He had a different mother, and Mei and Kenjiro had different fathers from the three siblings. Aiko had Kenjiro and Mei before she had met Makoto.

...

When Kaho was two years old, her father had been kidnapped and drugged after a fallout with a lady who was more powerful. She was insane and was obsessed with Makoto.

The woman had raped him and had the child nine months later. Four years later she suddenly showed up at his doorstep and just abandoned her son. No once had seen her since.

Now they were a happy family. Everyone loved each other and although there were a lot of quarrels their bond was unbreakable.

No matter how far they were in the world, there would always be a string that connected them.

They were also one of the most powerful families in the medical field in Japan as they have expanded their headquarters to multiple counties and they were a well known and respected group.

...

"Kahoru. You've been on a long flight. Once you finish breakfast, take a bath and rest. The jet lag must be rough on you." Makoto spoke in a stern tone.

"I will father." Kaho smiled.
