Chapter 1 Back to Tokyo
A bleach-banged boy wearing a bright yellow colored shirt and black pants made his way out of the airport. The boy, who could have passed his 12th summer, was accompanied by a young man on a black suit with matching sunglasses. The young man, whose name was Yuki, looks irritated by the boy who was walking a little bit in front of him. Yuki seems to be lecturing the boy, whose demeanor shows a hint of annoyance and impatience. The boy, ignoring the clams of the young adult beside him, looked from left to right seemingly trying to find the one who will be going to welcome him.
"Ne, Yuki, have you seen grandpa? Dad told them I'm coming home, ain't he?"
"I have called them a little while ago and they said they had arrived. Maybe they're in front… Now, now young master Hikaru, don't be so hasty." Yuki told his charge but Hikaru did not heed the advice, instead the young boy tried to passed through the crowd running.
"Grandpa! Grandpa!", Hikaru called after seeing the old man. Reaching his grandfather's side, Hikaru gave him a hug.
"I've missed you. Dad did not let me call you that often. Said I'm just going be a disturbance and all. But I've really missed you a lot Grandpa."
"I've missed you too, Hikaru. You've grown a lot since I last saw you. And what is that bleached bangs of yours?", the old man asked while ruffling his grandson's hair.
"It's been three years after all since Dad forced me to join him in America. And about this bangs (pointing to his hair)…it's cool, neh?! It's the latest fashion after all."
Sighing, Grandpa uttered, "Young men".
By this time, Yuki had managed to find Hikaru through the crowd. He had lagged behind because of the baggage he carried which the young master seemed to have forgotten because of his excitement to meet his family.
"Young master…Sir…", Yuki acknowledged.
"Ahh…I forgot. Sorry Yuki. Grandpa this is Yuki. Yuki this is Grandpa. You've seen each other when you visited me in America Ji-chan. He's the bodyguard-friend-guardian Dad hired."
"Yes of course. I remember Yuki-san"
"Nice to meet you again, Shindo-san", the young man answered.
"No need for the formalities. Just call me Ji-chan or grandpa like Hikaru. You're a young man after all." Ji-chan laughed.
"Thank you, Shin…ai..Ji-chan"
"That's better.", the old Shindo smiled. "So are we going then. We've prepared your favorites Hikaru. I know you've missed Japanese food a lot, especially your no. 1 ramen."
"What! RAMEN………Yey..I love ramen!"
The three, then, went outside where the car is waiting for them.

Author's notes:
This is a short chapter. But I think it is okay since it's only a prologue. Next chapter, I'll try to make it longer.
