The news that Koun Hizuri was dead was not well received by Japan.
The body of Koun wasn't found until day break when the surrounding inhabitants woke up and we're shocked to see two cars smashed into each other.
A morning Jogger was the first to investigate the scene, the car behind was just a random man but the car in front.
That's what shocked him and made him immediately call 911 so fast that his keyboard caught on fire.
The ambulance arrived quickly and we're just as shocked to see the popular celebrity just like the surrounding people were, with a wind shield through his chest.
Even though he looked like he was sleeping, they were all experienced enough to know when they saw a dead body.
All tests performed, showed that he was not only dead but he had been dead for several hours due to his body temperature.
They had to carefully get the body out of the seat with the least amount of damage to it before getting it onto a big stretcher.
They had to identify the body to see if this was indeed who they thought it was before documenting the time of death that they estimated he died at.
That's when the hardest job came for them.
Telling his friends and family what happened to him.
The group split into giving the news to the place he works, parents and family about what had happened to him.
The agency took his death hard.
The sound of Julie Hizuri sobs will forever be in their dreams, begging them that it must be some kind of mistake.
His wife was the quietest of them all, but you could tell by the long pauses that she was probably taking it the hardest.
Koun wasn't proclaimed officially dead until his family and friends had seen his dead body with their very own eyes.
So it was with great sadness that Lory informed the media of Kuon death.
Japan was shocked, loyal fans openly cried for their star, tributes were everywhere and the whole of Japan seemed to have gone in mourning even Sho Fuwa, was affected since he worried what would happen to Kyoko.
There was a huge turn out to see the star's burial and touching words were exchanged all around before he was buried.
Time seemed to have stopped but slowly but surely, time seemed to start up again and people went on with their lives.
A parent was never supposed to outlive their own child!
Even though they were all forced to continue with their lives, in their hearts, they believed that Koun wouldn't want to see them mopping from high up in the clouds.
But to live their life to the fullest since his was cut so short.
It never occurred to them, that Koun own soul might not be in the heavens like they first thought but back on earth having being reborn as someone else.
So they were very shocked to see exactly 14 Years later after his death, a white haired and eyes, 14 year Koun.
"Hello, my name is Zander Prince. Pleasure to meet you" the boy said.
They had no idea how special this little boy was.
Ch 7: The connection the past
All three of them stared at the boy in surprised.
Zander blinked and said. "Is there something wrong?" as all three continued to stare at him.
"U-Um, no" Lory quick said, trying very hard not to continue staring because the boy family were giving all three of them strange looks.
"May, we ask how old you are?" Kuu said.
"14, sir" The boy said, well that's what he was told to say when asked about his age.
And Kuu, Julie and Lory kept their shock hidden well when they remembered this year would be the 14 year since Koun death.
"Isn't my little brother just the cutest thing you've ever seen?" Karita said, slinging an arm around his little brother's neck and ruffling his hair.
"Nii-san, you know I don't like you touching my hair" Zander said trying to move away and finding his brothers grip very hard to get out of.
"But you need some loving" Karita teased, referring to yesterday night and Zander know it too.
They were all amused to see his face go bright red, clearly there was a story there.
"Mr Prince, your food" A waiter said finding the family out of their seats.
"Oh, thank you" Ezio said as two more waiters showed up to complete the whole set.
"Come on boys, let's finally go and eat" Angela said, and damn it, her voice was still soft like an angel to their ears.
Zander was more than happy to get away from the gazes of his former parents.
"I will see you tomorrow than" Karita said to Lory who nodded.
"Perhaps you can bring your little brother along" Lory said, because he REALLY needed to talk to the young boy and so did Kuu and Julie.
"I'll try but it's all up to him" Karita said wondering why the man would want to talk to his little brother of all people.
He sat down with family and the curtains were closed, blocking the family from view, much to Lory, Kuu and Julie and many others who were captivated by the family's beauty, disappointment.
"...Boss, that boy, he looks likeā¦" Kuu began as he stared at his son look alike, his speech was clogged by deep emotions that he buried within him for years.
Julie was trying very hard to see the boy again, none of them missed how Zander was 14 and it had been 14 years since Kuon death.
"I know." Lory said, it must have been quite a shock for both of them since they Kuon parents but they could not afford to jump to any conclusions yet, since there was a chance that the boy merely just looked like Kuon, the boy was still in his puberty stages and he could turn out looking very different if his mother genes really kick in.
If it does turn out that somewhere deep inside the boy was a shred of Koun and it turns out there was some memories crossed over than they would figure out where to go from there.
The idea that, Kuon may be alive and living on as a 14-year-old boy had never crossed their minds until now.
If and there was a big if, if this was so than he know, that Kuu and Julie would do anything in their power to reawaken all their sons memories within him.
Already Kuu and Julie were looking years younger, Kuon death had been very hard for them to take in and had aged them in appearance, the possibility that they might see their son again was unlikely but real.
Because wasn't it nice to dream?
#The Prince family#
I don't like how they were eyeing me Zander thought, thinking about what would happen if they discovered he had a full set of memories from his time as a human, plus he was leaving soon, he couldn't live that long on dry land.
How was he going to explain he died and woke up as a Merman in the deepest depths of the ocean?
Even now he could feel his lungs trying to persuade him to go back into the water.
"So the jewellery is going to arrive tomorrow" Their mother informed them quietly, unlike Karita she had been around Human beings a lot longer than he had and had seen both sides of humanity, her husband was the same.
"They will be setting up for the showcase in the morning, the day after tomorrow, the jewels will be hidden until them" She said and by hidden, she meant, she would use her magic to stop any burglars who caught wind of the jewels.
Karita tore into a crab leg and Zander just sat there eating shrimp.
"Raw is better" Karita said talking about the food and they all silently agreed with him.
Raw seafood was better than cooked while they all stayed away from the dipping sauce.
#After dinner back at the house#
To make sure the food had settle in properly they decided to all sit down as a family and watch T.V to allow their digestive systems to do their job.
After all, it wasn't everyday they got to watch T.V. and Zander know Koun wasn't a big fan of Television but here he found out that he missed Television so much.
Even though he didn't have any idea who the people on screen were, he just needed something to keep him busy from seeing his parents and former boss again.
He didn't see Jenkins turn him, to see his charge so engrossed with what was happening on screen.
His charge sat for hours not moving an inch which was a miracle in itself.
Perhaps this was the answer he saw to getting his charge to sit still?
But how to get a T.V, working, underwater? The man couldn't help but ponder.
# 2 Hours later#
"Come on boys, time to go to bed" Their mother said, amused to see the disappointed looks on both of their faces because they had become so engrossed with what was happened on screen.
But they didn't argue with her and said.
"Yes, mother" They both said as they both got ready for bed dragging their feet.
Ezio wrapped his hands around his wife's hips and kissed her, making her smile.
"And what was that for?" Angela asked, smiling while Jung and Jenkins made up some accuse to walk out of the room.
"Do I need an excuse, to kiss my beautiful wife?" Ezio said, making his wife smile wider, she truly did look beautiful tonight, the diamonds just help to highlight her already beautiful features and he had to fight the strong urge not to glare at the many males eyeing his wife longer than what he deemed necessary.
Unaware that his wife also managed to fight off the urge to glare at the many women looking at her husband as if he was meat.
"Just let me tuck in, Zander into bed and then I'm all yours for tonight" Angela said, kissing him before freeing herself from his grip and walking away, feeling her husband's hungry gaze on her body as she went to find her youngest son.
Zander was already ready for bed when his mother came in.
"Mother?" He said, wondering what she was doing here, she would usually be with father at this time of the night. "What are you doing here?"
"Can't a mother tuck her youngest son in?" She said, honestly, Zander was still a child but he wanted to grow up too fast, he should be enjoying the benefits of being a child to the fullest.
Meanwhile the man in Zander told him that he didn't want to be tucked into bed since he was way too old for that sort of thing, but the child in him, the child that still clung to his mother touch and heat, wanted her to tuck him in.
As usual that side won out.
Curse his body and its embarrassing needs!
His mother stroke his hair while she tucked him into bed while singing a well-known lullaby from deep under the sea, her voice was rich and heavenly to his ears as he couldn't help but snuggle in closer to her, making her smile.
She saw his eyelids start to drop as exhaustion finally kicked in, his seemly limitless energy had finally run out.
When she was sure that he was fast asleep, she kissed him on the forehead and said.
"Goodnight, son"
That night, Zander slept feeling the warm touch of his mother's love.
And scene!
Next chapter Karita goes to LME along with Jung. The company itself is shocked by the appearance of such beautiful men. Review! Fav and follow!
