3 Months later

Golden eyes starred at the all too stoic face and tears trailed down the cheeks of the boy. It was his birthday, and what a birthday. The only ones that normally would react where dead or in coma, his cousin of course knew too, but she hadn't said anything nor had his brother. Maybe they were too preoccupied with everything going on at the moment and didn't notice this themselves?
He slowly reached for his father's forehead and touched it gently. It felt weird doing so, he never had a close relationship with him even though he really wanted, and he couldn't bring himself to ask his father to do father-son stuff with him. Could be because Ryoma where busy feeling embarrassed when ever his dad did something. He sighed and brushed the silent tears away.
"Ne, Otou-san, we are leaving U.S.A. today, Ryoga is scared that I'm in danger too."
This felt kind of comforting, talking to the person in the bed. Even though Ryoma felt stupid doing it, the doctors had said it might reach Nanjirouh's sub consciousness and he'd hear. Ryoma knew that it was so he'd feel comforted somehow and give a false hope of bringing his father back to life.
"I won't be around much longer, as you'd already guessed, but you better wake up again, you hear me? If you don't I'll make sure mom's going to know and give you a beating when you join her!"
He paused, slightly surprised of his words, it was like the childish side had taken over for a moment there.
"Ryoma..? we need to get going before it slips out that we're leaving!"
Ryoma looked over his shoulder to his brother and cousin in the doorway.
"yeah, yeah.. I know"

At the airport

Ryoma sighed with a bored look in his eyes. It felt weird not being able to walk around without a shadow so much bigger than him. He looked over his shoulder to King Kong behind him, the guy where huge! Even the big guy from the American team that visited Japan for Tennis weren't that big, he'd forgotten the boy's name… And the name of King Kong behind him too, what was his name again?

"Ne, Ryoma, this is M…, he's going to be your protection from now on!"
Ryoma had looked up upon the guy as he was introduced to his new bodyguard at the airport. He had an american one, but Morgan was half 'n' half and he needed one that could speak at least a little Japanese, and M…. Could at least 3 languages.
"Konbanwa, Young master."

No, he'd forgotten the name, he remembered the day perfectly, but the guy's name where gone for now. He didn't really care, he knew that they guy behind him would take bullets for him, not because he wanted, because he was paid to do it.
He looked ahead again; ignoring King Kong's scanning of the room and let his eyes fall upon the crowd that efficiently parted from their path. Nanako and Ryoga talked quietly with serious faces while Nanako tapped on a small laptop trying to point out some numbers for Ryoga who just shook his head and laughed. Ryoma didn't feel like smiling, even though the scene is what he'd missed the most; his family having a good time and talking like normal people. His brother and cousin went through the metal detector and both their bodyguards had to show their ID for their guns. Ryoma blinked surprised at the sight of them, he hadn't really thought about the guards having weapons, but of course they had. What kind of bodyguards would they be without?
Before Ryoma knew it, he was tackled from behind with gunshots resonating from the walls. The weight of King Kong on him pressed the air out of his lungs and left him breathless for a second after King Kong had moved and returned the fire. Before he got to his feet, King kong had pulled him up and dragged him off to a pillar that held the huge ceiling up 10 meters above their heads. Ryoma heard the gunshots hitting the pillars they hid behind and where roughly put down right behind the huge guy. It hit him that he were in danger of dying and felt a shudder down his spine. They were after him!
He was frozen while bullets flew past the pillar and hit the ground around the bodyguard, who was struggling while talking in his headset. Ryoma didn't hear every word that where said, but some like; the package, safety and such. Ryoma crept together to be as small as possible. 3 months, and this was the first time he was actually in the middle of firing guns, though he had been held in a room till the danger was over.
"They're closing in! John! Are you copying? Get the back now! They're closing in on us! Cover us as we retreat!"
Ryoma was brought back to reality as he felt his arm in a tight grip as his King kong dragged him up and retreated to a door behind them, guns were still firing, but in other directions when the door slammed.
"Demo! Nanako-san, Aniki!"
Ryoma were almost at the door again but was stopped by a firm embrace.
"NO!" they're alright! The culprits are here for you, not them; we need to get you to the safety now!"
Ryoma struggled a little before he knew he wouldn't win and resigned although tears flew from fear and terror that the thought of the ongoing shooting. How many was hit? Was Ryoga and Nanako okay? His feet didn't touch the floor while he was being carried through the halls and was abruptly sat down beside a door, where the wall of flesh stood in front of him and slowly opened the door to peek out in the area on the other side of the gates, around a corner.
"Is there a free passage?"
Ryoma looked up at the walls back when he talked into the headset and got an answer before he opened the door fully and pushed Ryoma out but took the front against the gates behind them.

"We gotta be careful, Ryoma, the accidents were just TOO accidental to actually be accidents!"
Ryoma looked at his cousin who had tears in her eyes.
"The detectives think that they're after you now, Ryoma"

Ryoma remembered how scared he had been, but he hadn't shown, he nearly never did, he had to be strong.
The meat wall in front of him relaxed enough for Ryoma to dare look past him at the mess they had made. People where down and screams suddenly reached his ears from the wounded. The assailants were restrained in the middle of the floor; the two other goons, that followed the rest of Ryomas family, held them down while a security guard talked on a phone and people ran around looking to the wounded. There weren't many wounded, but enough for Ryoma to feel guilty about it.
He saw a rumpled Nanako who looked around frantically, Ryoga trying to calm her down and their bodyguards getting relived of their burden of keeping the culprits at bay when the police showed up and took over.
Nanako spotted Ryoma and nearly alerted his King Kong when she threw herself at him and wrapped her arms around him while crying like beaten. Ryoga were close behind her and suddenly started to check him for injuries.
"He's okay, not harmed Psysically.."
Ryoma tried to push Nanako off of him while Ryoga stood up and talked to King Kong.
"Good job, Morgan, for a moment there, I thought we were done for!"

The day after, airport in Tokyo

Someone shook him. He groaned lightly and shifted in his seat. Whoever it was, were really meddling with things they shouldn't! He flapped his hand in the direction he believed the interrupting shaking came from and hit something resembling a wall.
"Echizen-sama.. We're here"
Ryoma heard him due to him being pulled out of his blissful sleep, rudely, by a guy with enough balls to face a B-person way too early in the day. Ryoma sat up and looked around in the first-class department of the plane before rubbing his eyes and grabbing for his bag with his laptop and the cat carrier with Karupin in it.
"Ne, Ryoma! Let's get home so you can get your present!"
He stood up and followed the culprit, King Kong, who woke him up. Ryoma, once again wondered about his name before stepping out into what he, at first, thought was a lightning storm, but found out was a storm of cameras flashing wildly. He lowered his cap and walked down. He thought it would be like coming home, but this was just like everywhere else were vultures would circle him and ask questions of his feeling and everything.

He was escorted to a waiting car with his brother and cousin while Morgan tried to keep the journalists away from him by walking by his side.
He was placed in the car with his cat that was carried by Morgan, all his luggage was placed in the trunk before he was led out of the airport. Finally in a bulletproof car, he relaxed a little. He knew their house weren't the one they had before. They were in need of a much safer house than the one they'd lived in before.

After a longer car ride they made a turn.
"Welcome home Ryoma"
Ryoga said silently and placed a hand on his shoulder. Ryoma Gaped at the sight before him. Security guards greeted them inside the gates and a huge park like garden spread in front of the car as they followed the road down towards the mansion.
"Is THIS home? It looked smaller in the description…"
He mumbled a little surprised at the size of his new home, it was really his, even his name on the deed. He inherited it from his grand-parents; they've had this as a summer residence when they visited Japan to get away from U.S.A. and work for a while. Ryoma had never been here; his grand-parents hated his father for taking their daughter and marry her even though he was nothing but a commoner. But they grew to love Ryoma anyway, they never got to meet Ryoga, hence he ran away before his parents and grandparents started talking again.
He looked at Ryoga who looked stupefied at the sight. Ryoma who knew what kind of riches he posses now just sighed.
"mada mada dane, Aniki"
Nanako Laughed while Ryoga mumbled annoyed to himself, both happy that Ryoma was becoming Ryoma again. But unaware of the trials they were to go through.
