Mia couldn't believe the plane was two hours late. "Those poor kids."
"They're not kids Mia." Mia turned to her husband.
"I know Ryo, but…" Ryo shook his head.
"No buts. Nicole is our guest not another kid for you take care of."
"Your husband is right Mia." Mia sighed and looked over at the dean of technology.
"I know Dr. Yamaguya but, I can't help it."
"Well I hope you can control yourself because Nicole is…"
"Dr. Yamaguya!" The dean looked up a near by escalator to see his old friend Dr. Strasser.
"Dr. Strasser. Glad you made it all right." The two older men shook hands.
"Yes and with college students that act their age." Dr. Yamaguya looked over his friend's shoulder to see six lovely young ladies and a handsome gentleman.
"Welcome to Tokyo." The dean bowed which was returned.
"Glad to be here." Kristena answered as she looked around the airport. Dr. Strasser pulled Kristy forward away from Kendra.
"Chang I would like you to meet my prize student Kristy Malone." Kristy smiled and looked back to Kendra for help. Kendra just shrugged.
"So you're Miss 280 IQ? Pleasure to meet you Miss Malone. I hope you're ready for campus life at the university." Sage looked at Rowan to see the shocked look on his face.
"Please call me Kristy or Kris. I really don't like being called Miss Malone. And I am more then ready." Jacob smirked at his sister's comment.
"Kristy it is. So who are your siblings that I have heard about?" Kristy grabbed Kristena's wrist pulling towards her.
"This is my older sister Kristena and that's my older brother Jacob." Jacob stepped forward.
"Pleasure to meet you both." The dean extended his hand that Jacob shook.
"The pleasure is ours."
"Well while you're standing here I think you should meet Mr. and Mrs. Date." A man with dark hair extended his hand to Kristena as a young woman with blonde hair smiled at her. Kristena shook Mr. Date's hand.
"Pleasure to finally meet you. Thank you so much for deciding to put up with me and Kendra." Mrs. Date shook her head.
"Think nothing of it dear. But I would like you to meet our son Sage and his husband Rowan." Sage and Rowan stepped forward and Kristena's eyes went wide. Rowan took Kristena's hand and shook it.
"You must have a hard time keeping the boys away." Sage shook his head at Rowan's bad joke.
"Sometimes." Kristena smiled at Rowan. No way! Strata! Halo! Kristena looked at Kristy to see the shocked look on her face, but Kristy wasn't the only who was shocked.
If they're here then that means… Kendra glanced over at her sister who looked like she just got smacked in the face.
"Kendra Lili?" Kendra looked up at the dean confused.
"Yeah?"
"Say hello to Mr. and Mrs. Date."
"Oh sorry. Call me Kendra or Ken and this is my twin Nikki." Kendra pushed Nikki forward so the two could shake their hands.
"Twins. That must be fun." Kendra and Nikki smiled and shrugged. Dr. Yamaguya smiled at Nikki.
"I'm assuming that Nikki is short of Nicole."
"Yes."
"Well then I would like to introduce you to Mr. and Mrs. Sanada." Mia pulled Nikki into a hug scaring her slightly. Ryo shook her hand and smiled.
"Great to finally meet you Nikki." Nikki nodded at Ryo.
Holy shit! First Sage and Rowan. Now Mia and Ryo. Cye has got to be here. Kendra couldn't believe what she was seeing.
"Ditto." Nikki had a hard time trying to not faint. Ryo glanced back at his friends.
"I guess we should let you meet our roommates."
Oh no. Kendra watched as Nikki stiffened as if she knew what was coming. Nikki felt a lump suddenly form in her throat as Cye and Kento stepped forward. Cye couldn't believe his eyes.
She looks just like Moonstriker.
"Nikki this Cye Mouri and Kento Rei Faun."
"Wonderful to me you." Then Kento pulled Nikki into a huge bear hug almost crushing her. Setting her down Cye took Nikki's hand.
"Lili like the flower, very pretty. Sorry about Kento. He gets like that sometimes."
"That's okay." Nikki looked down at her hand then looked back up at Cye. "You can let go of my hand now." Cye blushed as he released Nikki's hand. Same old Cye.
"Sorry."
"It's okay."
"Okay now that everyone is introduced how about we get going."
"Sounds good to me Dr. Yamaguya." Kristena was tired and hungry.
"Okay since there are eight of you."
"Eight?" Kristy was confused. She only remembered six introducing themselves. Then it dawned on her. "Oh god! Val, Jean." The group turned to see the two girls leaning against some chairs in the airport. "We forgot about you."
"We know." Valerie looked up from her phone.
"Shows how much we're loved." Jean pulled her head phones down to hang around her neck. She looked at Jacob. "Some best friend you are." Jacob stepped toward his cousin and wrapped his arm around her shoulder.
"Sorry Lil' Jean. You know I love you."
"Sure you do." Jean rolled her eyes.
"You two must be Valerie Smith and Jean Stanley." Dr. Yamaguya stepped forward to shake the girls' hands.
"Good guess." The dean smiled at Jean's attitude, but turned his attention to Valerie.
"So tell me Miss Smith will you be taking any of our Advance Spanish courses?"
"Actually it's Mrs. Smith and I haven't really thought about it." Dr. Yamaguya looked at Valerie in shock.
"Forgive me I didn't realize you were married." Valerie smiled.
"Yup and Jacob is next in line." Jacob shot his cousin a look that said shut up.
"Val."
"Sorry cuz couldn't help myself." Dr. Yamaguya laughed at the two cousins.
"Well if it's all right with everyone else we should get going. We'll be eating at my home then I will separate you kids from each other and let you get settled in."
"Agreed." Dr. Strasser grabbed his suitcase. Kendra watched carefully as the Ronins offered to carry their bags. She declined Kento's help as she watched Nikki and Jean for any reaction. Luckily Nikki seemed okay but he feelings were flowing through their bond let Kendra know she wasn't okay. While Jacob kept his arm around Jean as if to comfort her and be her strong hold because here they were with the warriors they fought along side with six years ago.
Kendra stayed close to Kristy on instinct and she noticed that something wasn't right. Suddenly a guy grabbed Kristy's arm throwing her to the ground and grabbed her backpack. "Damn it!" Kendra didn't give the guy much time to run because she grabbed his shoulder and pulled him backwards causing him to fall to the ground. The guy gripped Kristy's bag like it was life or death, but Kendra just stood in front of this guy giving him a look that darned him to run.
"Fine take the bag bitch!" throwing the bag at Kendra the guy took off. Kristy stood back up with some help from the Ronins as Kendra handed her back her bag.
"You okay Kris?"
"Yeah." Dr. Yamaguya looked between the young girls and smiled.
"You two must be close." Kendra shrugged as she grabbed her suitcase.
"Not any closer then I am with the others."
"Well then shall we continue?"
