Ryuga was five years old and he was tearing up the hallways making car noises. "Ryuga calm down please!" Said Doji from the office. Ryuga stopped then turned around, running towards Doji with as much speed his little legs would take him. Doji's eyes widened just as Ryuga tackled his legs, making Doji fall over with Ryuga laughing on his chest. "I got you!" Ryuga said rolling off the groaning Doji laughing. Doji sat up and rubbed the back of his head, glaring at Ryuga halfheartily then grinned, "Yes you did but you have to settle down. We're going in the helicopter soon and I don't want you to be bouncing in your seat." Ryuga laughed again with his squeaky voice and hugged Doji, "can you carry me there?" Ryuga asked looking up to Doji with his gold eyes. Doji sighed and looked down on him blinking slowly, "don't you think you're too big for that?" Ryuga tilted his head and grinned, "nope."
Doji carried Ryuga to the helicopter while Ryuga held onto Doji's shirt, looking over Doji's shoulder and sticking his tongue out at the people who looked at him. "Where are we going Doji?" asked Ryuga as Doji sat him in a seat, strapping him in with a seatbelt. "I'm taking you to Misa's house so you can play with Jiro." Ryuga screamed with excitement making Doji wince from the pitch of the scream. "I GET TO PLAY WITH JIRO?" Ryuga screamed again, his face brightening so much it glowed. "Yes, if you settle down." Ryuga calmed himself and sat with wide open eyes all throughout the helicopter ride. As the helicotper landed Ryuga struggled to undo his seat belt and climb over Doji. Doji caught Ryuga and held him steady, walking off the helicopter with Ryuga trying to make him go faster.
Doji knocked on the door of the average size house and a young woman opened it, she had blond hair with brown hair underneath, her light shining purple eyes looking at Doji with happyness. "Come on in! Jiro is in the living room." Ryuga slid down Doji and ran through the house, searching for his playmate. Doji chuckled as did the woman, "good to see you Misa." Doji said smiling. "As to you, brother." Ryuga ran back to Doji with a boy his age with dark brown hair and purple eyes following close behind. "Can me and Jiro go outside and play?" Ryuga asked excitedly, holding onto Doji's leg. "Go ahead but be careful, don't go into the woods like last time." Doji said putting on a strict tone. Ryuga and Jiro nodded and ran past them, Jiro grabbed a rainbow ball and threw it to Ryuga, who missed and chased after it. Doji shut the door and Misa guided him to the kitchen, where she made coffee for the both of them and they took a seat on the couch, watching Ryuga and Jiro with watchful eyes.
"You have a good boy." Misa said to Doji, her hair swooping over her shoulder as she turned her head towards him. Doji nodded and grinned, "very hyper though." He said with a chuckle. Misa smiled but it didn't last long, her face was soon shadowed by grief. "Are you alright?" Doji asked looking at her with concern. "I just-... I just hate how we are now knowing each other. I hate how I know you after mom died." Doji nodded sadly, remembering how they have separate fathers and never met each other until now. "at least we do know each other right?" Doji said, trying to lighten the mood. "Ya, I guess so." She said, her smile returning.
Both of their heads whipped around to look out the window to see Ryuga screaming with his arms in the air. They both sighed in relief as they realized it was only him showing excitement for his first goal in the basketball net. "That kid gives me a heat attack everyday. Him and his constant screaming I can't tell whether he's hurt or screaming for no reason." Doji said with a sweatdrop. Misa laughed and took another sip of her coffee, "I guess that's a good thing. You can't lose him." Doji laughed sarcastically, "That's what he wants you to think. You know that when he is quiet he's doing something bad like breaking into the cookie jar to raiding the fridge." Misa laughed loudly then stood up, setting down her coffee and walked into the kitchen. A beep was heard and Doji looked out the window to see Ryuga and Jiro looking at the house with perking ears. "The cookies are done!" Ryuga and Jiro screamed as they ran into the house. Doji thought it sounded more like a stampede than just two boys, but then again this is Ryuga we're talking about. Misa walked in with the plate held above her head with steaming cookies, trying to not trip over the boys who practically tried to climb her leg.
"Boys calm down, you're cookies arn't going anywhere." Doji said picking up Ryuga and sitting him on the couch. Misa sat the cookies on the coffee table and Jiro grabbed the cookie Ryuga was aiming for, making Ryuga tackle him with a roar. "I guess Ryuga was a good name for him, he acts like a real dragon." Misa said taking a cookie for herself. Doji shook his head and smirked, "Ryuga, Jiro had it first." Ryuga looked to Doji and whined, "but I saw it first!" Doji picked up a cookie and passed it to him, Ryuga huffed in defeat and sat beside Doji, chomping on his cookie until it was gone and reaching for another. Jiro sat beside Ryuga and snuggled against his mom Misa. "So Doji, how has the castle been coming along?" Misa said staring a conversation. "Quite well actually, I'm starting Ryuga with beyblading now. He's insisted on getting a dragon one..." Doji said rolling his eyes. Ryuga perked up and put a half eatin cookie in Doji's face, "That's because dragons are awesome!" Ryuga said shoving the entire cookie back in his mouth. Doji hummed in amusement, "and I will find you one sooner or later." Ryuga squealed and laid on Doji's lap on his back, patting his stomach full of cookies and sighed. "I'm full now, let's go play!" Ryuga said jumping back up and grabbed Jiro, pulling him out the door.
