Location: Setagaya, Dr. Midorima Shintarou's Residence

Time: four days after Inna onee san's death

A black haired golden eyed boy looking handsome in his black rock band t shirt, maroon cardigan and blue jeans, walking up a flight of stairs then through a hallway and stopped in front of a bedroom door. He knocked twice before he opens the door..

"Yo, Kazuki..what are you doing? Takao chan told me to go straight to your room" Reiji approaches Kazuki who is currently sitting on his study desk.

"Oh..it's just you, Rei..Go sit wherever you like..I'll be done in a minute.. and stop calling my mom that" Kazuki, the white haired green colored eyes boy wearing green tshirt and black shorts nonchalantly said, just looking at Reiji for a bit before focusing back on his writing. Reiji is one of his best friends, he's also his father's patients. In fact, the hospital is where they first met. Then several times meeting at the hospital makes them fast friends. Even when Reiji's sick and bed ridden, he tags along with his father's home visit to the
Asami's Mansion to check up and cheer Reiji. Later they both enroll Teiko's Elementary and get even more closer as they are in the same class. Kazuki is also friends with Reiji's buddies, Kirishima Aiko and Suoh Shino. Kazuki has this little crush on Aiko..Juuuuust a little. And Shino..well let's just say, he's too protective of Aiko.

"Aww...so cold...What are you writing anyway? Summer homework? Ever so diligent Midorima Kazuki." Reiji hovering over him to see what he's doing. Turns out, he's drawing a card. "A card?"

"Yeah...it's a get well soon..and consolation card..for my little brother"

"Really? I thought you're an only son like me.." Reiji raised his eyebrow.

"I am...we're not blood related..he's like from our extended family in Kyoto..but still.." Kazuki explains while his hands keeps moving.

"Aah..i get it..it's just like me, Aiko and Shino, blood or no blood..they're my siblings" Reiji smiles.."What happened to him anyway?" Reiji sat on the carpet toying with a plushie.

"Humm..I'm not supposed to tell..but.. you know how kids like us are target for kidnappers and the likes?" Reiji nodded."well..He just survived a kidnap attempt, but you know..not unscathed..at least psychologically..he lost a loved one too..so you know.. he's sick and feeling really bad right now..Man, i just want to cheer him up...and you know..be there" Kazuki said while touching a framed photo. It's a photo of him and his siblings (Gom's Kids) on one of their sleepovers. To think that such an awful thing happened to one of his precious brothers, Kazuki gritted his teeth.

"Yeah that was scary.. Here, let me see him..which one is he?"

"This one" Kazuki points at one baby blue haired kid lying next to him, looking so cute in a fox pyjamas with his eyes closed. "Btw, before you ask..Yes, they're all my siblings and No, we're not blood related but still... they're my siblings..."

"Wow..he's soo cute...Is he really a boy?He looks like a girl..a really cute one.." Reiji felt his heart thumping and happy all of a sudden..'this blue and red streaked hair looks familiar..and this cute face i feel like i've seen it somewhere.'Reiji tries to remember.

"Yeah, like super cute... just like so many others said..Because of that he's like a magnet to all those creepy guys out there. Especially after our ads were aired.." Kazuki rolled his eyes. 'Aahh..that's where i saw him..the Anais ads. The one Mom's in charge of the photoshoot' Reiji concluded.

Hearing that Reiji felt strangely irritated...How dare they...he wants to protect his best friends dearest little brother from any harm. "Allright, i'll write him too..since i've been through the same thing myself" Reiji decided.

"You sure?" Kazuki looking in askance.

Reiji nodded.

"well, okay then..what's the harm..just..don't write weird stuffs allright..I'll bring it with me when i visit him tonight"

"Really? Allright!" Reiji smiles feeling excited. Kazuki hands him papers and stationaries, crayons and coloured pencils..and they started to get busy with their cards.

An hour later

"Yosh..It's done" Reiji stretches his arms above his head.

"Me too..okay..i'll give it to him tonight" Kazuki put the cards neatly on his table.

"You know.. It would be awesome if we can play with him too..and your other siblings of course...he's in Tokyo right?"

"Well he originally lives in Kyoto but he occasionally stays in Tokyo too..I'll think about it okay?"

Reiji nodded.

"Now, let's go have snacks downstairs..You know our moms, sometimes i feel like i'm the one who should keep an eye on him especially when your mom is around". Kazuki opens the door, the sound of game consoles and their mom's laughter heard.

"Right..they just hit it off like old buddies" Reiji agrees. Shutting the door and trudging along with Kazuki descending downstairs where their moms are.

Later that night

Location: Akashi Mansion, Hiroo Tokyo

"Kazu nii..." A cute bundle of baby blue haired kid launches himself to Kazuki.

Smiling while rubbing Yuuma's head gently "Hello Yuu chan... how are you feeling?"

Yuuma looks at Kazuki, trying his best to smile "I'm okay nii chan..just..it was so scary..and Inna nee..but i'm happy now that you're here"

Kazuki smiles "I have something for you..from me and my friend..he has been through bad things like you..he wants to cheer you up just like i do" Kazuki hands the cards.

"Thank You Nii chan.." Yuuma opens the envelope.. and read both cards. One of them are from Kazu nii, there's drawing of bunnies and words of wishing well and that he loves me. The other one was also filled with drawing, of a rainbow, a dragon, princess and a knight on a white horse.

It says,

'Hello dear Yuu chan, i know how scary and sad it was..i've been through that too..i hope you'll feel better soon and smile beautifully like a rainbow' Yuuma smiles, such a nice friend Kazu nii has.

'And just like a knight protecting the princess from scary dragons, I'll try my best to protect you from bad guys or at least pray the hardest so that GOD will protect you from any harm..Your new friend and Knight, Reiji' At this, Yuuma frowns a little..

"Kazu nii, he knows i'm not a girl right?" Yuuma tilts his head in confusion.

And Kazu was like.. just read the letter and blinks...'Reijiiiii...not gonna happen.. I'm not gonna introduce you to Yuu chan!'
