A/N: I have decided to post this chapter today since it is already finished. The lines in bold are spoken in English. In future chapters, those lines written in German would also be in bold. Its translation would be written after it in this. - ()
There are no pairings here!
thfourteenth: Thanks again for reviewing. This chapter is for you. :) You'll know the some of the few OCs in this chapter.
Warning: Short Chapter and possible OOCness...
Chapter 1: The Aftermath
"No!" The boy screamed as he woke up.
He looked around to see where he was. He saw a desk, closet and door. He was in his room, safe.
"Ryoma, are you alright? I heard you scream." He heard his mother's voice as she opened the door.
"I'm okay. It was just a bad dream." Ryoma replied as he tried to calm down.
"It's about your father again, isn't it?" Rinko asked as she moved closer to her only son.
Ryoma hesitated for a moment before nodding his head. Rinko sighed as she hugged her only child.
"It is okay, Ryoma. I'm sure your father is in a better place now. He doesn't regret what he did that day." Rinko whispered to her son's ear in a comforting manner.
Her son just hugged her back tightly and silently cried, not wanting to appear weak in front his mother. Rinko cried as well, thinking back on that day, the day of Nanjirou's death.
"Get some rest, Ryoma." Rinko whispered in between sobs, reverting back to Japanese.
Rinko looked at her son to see him already fast asleep. She gently laid him on the bed then gave him a kiss on his forehead.
Sleep well, Ryoma.
Elsewhere…
"What's the problem, Mitsu-nii?" Seiruko asked her brother. He was looking a bit stressed.
"Seiruko, we're going back to Japan." Kunimitsu, her eldest brother, replied.
Seiruko was surprised at first then composed herself. She was happy that she was finally going back to her home land but partly sad because she has friends there in the States.
"When are we leaving? Are we going to live there with Naru-nii and Suoh-nii?" She asked him eagerly albeit slightly sad.
"We're leaving tomorrow morning. Yes, we're going to live with them under me. Once we go there, uncle is leaving." He replied again with a ghost smile. Seiruko nodded.
"Aniki, I'll be packing my bags now."
As she said that, she walked to her room and started packing.
'We're finally going back to Japan.' She thought as she packed her stuff then went to bed.
The next day, they left home after eating breakfast and went straight to the airport.
"Mitsu-nii, what school am I going to attend?" She asked him while they went to the plane.
"Seishun High. It's also Narumi's school and used to be Tetsuo's." He said as they took their seats and waited for the plane to depart.
"Okay aniki." She said as the plane departed the airport and went flying.
Elsewhere…
"Suoh-nii, Seiruko and Mitsu-nii are going here today! I can't wait to see them! What time are they coming here?" Narumi, Seiruko's third eldest brother, asked Tetsuo, their second eldest brother, while eating breakfast.
They have received a letter last week about their younger, and only, sister going to Japan with their eldest brother.
"This afternoon, they will go to our school to enroll Seiruko." He replied with a hint of eagerness in his voice.
"Okay Suoh-nii." Narumi said excited for this afternoon.
They just got home. Once they were inside, Kunimitsu told Seiruko that they would be going to Seishun High to enroll her after unpacking.
"Mitsu-nii, would Naru-nii and Suoh-nii be busy when we get there?" She asked after unpacking all her stuff.
"They might be busy because of tennis practice for Narumi and basketball practice for Tetsuo." Kunimitsu replied.
"I just remembered. Aniki, when are you going to buy a car?" Seiruko asked after she saw the map.
"Tomorrow would be good. I could also apply for a job near here too if there's enough time." Kunimitsu replied then checked the time. Seiruko did the same thing.
"We better get going."
Kunimitsu grabbed the house keys before locking the house. They left soon afterwards.
"What time is it?" He asked Inui as he went to get his water bottle. Narumi was one of the regulars' friends.
"12 noon. Why did you ask?" Inui stated.
"Ah! They're almost here!" Narumi said then ran towards Tezuka. They exchanged a few words for a while.
"Thanks, Tezuka!" Narumi shouted before he ran to the gate.
This left the regulars wondering what Narumi was excited about.
