Alyona:

My prediction was right, Yuuri easily won with over ten points in favor. Everyone wanted a word with him, reporters trying to ambush him and have an exclusive before the press conference. Luckily, neither Vitya or me left his place before and after the medal ceremony.

The only thing they got were pictures of Yuuri giving Yura a cat plushie he had collected from the rink.

It reached a point that we had to call security to fend the reporters to reach the private changing room the JSF gave to my student- privilages of being famous, both the skater and the coach.

"Have they all lost their minds!" complained, surprisingly, Yuuri "Japan normally is more laid down and respects boundaries!"

"I know... it was kind of a shock for me as well" I replied, gazing towards Yura to see if he is being capable of following the conversation in English. I continued once I was sure of it "We will need to contact Minami-san about Yura soon. Those photos they took will be soon all over the news and people will want to know who is that little boy that Japan's Ace is so close to"

"Someone called my name?" someone by the door asked in Japanese, startling us all.

"Minami-san!" Yuuri exclaimed surprised, but relived nonetheless "Thank Kami you are here, we need your assisance"

"That will never be new news, you and your brother always need me saving your asses" he replied, making my student and I chuckle "Talking about your brother, you have visits" he then moved aside, to show Japan's Demon and Ivanov-san.

"Aniki!"

"Uncle!"

Yuuri and Yura, both, jumped off their seats and rushed towards the hockey player for a hug. One that was gladly returned. Dimitri soon joined the family hug, Vitya rapidly joined them as well.

I smiled at the beautiful scene they made but felt like an intruder, so I turned towards Minami-san. I hoped to find some understanding, but instead I was stunned. Minami-san wasn't alone, he had a small blond kid with him. The boy looked Yura's age, he was clearly a fan of Yuuri's. The boy couldn't stop staring at my student with sparkling eyes and he had this huge smile, he was practically vibrating with excitement.

"Minami-san, who is this adorable boy you brought along?" I asked in English, suddenly gaining the attention of everyone in the room.

The boy was the complete opposite of Yuuri and Yura, instead of fretting under being the focus of attention he glowed... though, I think it was more the fact that my student was paying him attention.

"Everyone, this is my little brother Kenjirou. Kenji, these are: Yuuri Katsuki, Viktor Nikiforov, Yuri Plisetsky and Alyona Kurosaki. You've already met Zero Katsuki and Dimitri Ivanov. Kenjirou is a figure skater as well and a big fan of Yuuri's. I hope you don't mind" the last part was directed towards my student.

Yuuri simply shook his head, a gentle smile adorning his face. He then, called the younger Minami and presented him to Yura. The boy was babbling in excitement, all smiles, he was practically the personification of the sun. For a moment I thought it would be too much for Yuuri, who was more reserved, or clash too much with Yura, who was all frowns and growls. But my worries were for nothing. Yuuri if anything seemed very fond and amused by him, Yura on his part looked at the boy in amazement.

I saw Yura's lips move which send all the adults nearby in an uncontrollable laughter, whatever he said must have been in Russian because Kenjirou looked puzzled. Once they were able to control their laughter, Vitya, Zero and Dimitri left the skaters to get to know each other and headed towards our direction. I raised an eyebrow to my brother, silently asking him what was all that about.

"Well, it seems that the reason why Yura seems so smitten with the new kid and isn't trying to reap his head off- as he normally would- it's because Kenjirou is like: an adorable kitten high in sugar. His words not mine" Viktor told us, making Minami-san and I laugh.

"I totally see what he meant, look at his sharp tooth, big round eyes and round cheeks! He totally is an adorable kitten!" commented Zero, making us double in laughter.

"You are a good old brother, Minami-san. Bringing your little brother to meet his idol, not many would have done that" I told the agent.

"I have the contacts and know that Yuuri is a good role model to follow" he simply replied "Also, I knew that Yuuri would have never turned Kenji away or done anything to break his little heart"

"No, he wouldn't" agreed Vitya, a look of complete adoration crossed his face as he looked towards his Yuris- both of them.

"Though, that isn't the only reason why I am here" Minami-san continued, gaining our full attention "You see, my parents are both research doctors and are very busy to take care of Kenji... at least, properly. I came to Japan with Zero to watch Yuuri's FS and be here to represent them during the fashion show and the publicity for the festivals. But when I got home and found out that my little brother had spent a whole week in the hospital with fever and vomit I was furious. Kenji wasn't at the hospital because he was very sick, it was simply a stomach bug. He was there because my parents were too busy to take care of their sick son. They aren't bad people... they simply don't have their priorities straight" he rushed to defend, when he noticed all of our angry expressions "I asked them to leave Kenji's upbringing and legal power to me. I can take better care of him, I can manage his career easier with him by my side, I can home school him- I have the credentials for that, I'm not a genius for nothing. Also, in St. Petersburg he will much better coaches than here... the only problem is to find a coach willing to take him in" that last part he said it, looking towards me.

"Me?!" I exclaimed, shocked by the silent request. But also happy that Minami-san would trust me, an inexperienced coach, with his dear brother's training "How old is he? Is he experienced yet? Is he any good?"

"He is ten years old and he has experience in competitions. Also, I wouldn't encourage him to follow ice skating if he weren't any good. He is already in the advance novice division, he meddled gold in regional and nationals. Also, he is the champion of the Asian Figure Skating Championships. The JSF also chose him to compete at the Rooster Cup and the Dragon Trophy this year" he informed me.

Color me surprise. The ray of sunshine has talent... but I am still not sure if I will take him in. Between raising Luba and training Yuuri and Yura I have time for only one more skater, and I want that skater to be special. I don't mean a prodigy like Viktor. I mean someone who gives an unique presence when he takes the ice. I used to be the ballerina, many said that watching my routines was like going to the theater to watch ballet. Yuuri captivates the public with his step sequence, soaring through the ice like an angel taking flight. Yura has you always on the edge of your seat, giving you the feeling that you are being hunted down. He gives you the adrenaline you would only have when faced to a fierce tiger. Yura is also kind of very special. Not only is he an ice tiger, but also a fairy. Depending on the routine, he can also give this feeling of peacefulness and content, as if you were watching something magical.

But what can Kenjirou Minami bring to the table?

"Send me some videos of his, I will also want to see him skate live while we are still in Japan. I won't make any final decision until I see how he continues the rest of the season. Also, does he dance? That's a very important requirement for my skaters. Yuuri, Yura and I have a very solid base of ballet. Also, when season is off I will have Yuuri take some summer dance classes. He needs to have more variation in his repertoire. He already chose ballroom for this summer, Vitya will join him from what I've heard. And he thinks that maybe jazz for next summer" I finally answered him.

"Fair" he replied "I will have my parents know that I will come to collect Kenji only after his skating season is over. I will also research for other coaches just in case. It is funny that you mentioned jazz. My brother knows the basics of ballet, he doesn't train on it as much as you and your students do. Just enough to keep him in form and to help his skating. Like many other skaters" Vitya nodded at that, him being one of those skaters that don't pay ballet the respect it deserves "But he has a very strong base of jazz, he trains it as much as you guys do with ballet. Are you planning having Yura take dance summer classes as well?"

"Good" I said, pleased to know I might be having another dancer as a skater "And no. I will have their novice and junior years exploring who they are and what dance they feel calls more to them, but when they move to seniors I will put the summer classes as a requisite to continue training under me. They need to explore more than just one type of dancing... one type of doing what they do"

"I like it. It's the smart decision" Minami-san said, smiling at me.

I really hope that Kenjirou is as good as his brother thinks he is, I want to see that smile more often. Minami-san doesn't smile as much as he should. That's for later anyway, for now I will focus on the press conference. Not only Japan is over the moon with their new ice skating star, who will take Japan out of their bad luck years, but Yuuri is also planing on making his relationship with Vitya public.

I just hope it doesn't backfire.
