It had been about an hour since Ryoma passed out, and Inui promised he should be awake in exactly 1 hour 3 minutes and 19 seconds...True to his word Ryoma woke up at that exact time.

Everyone prepared themselves for a world of waterworks and the cold shoulder. But, no matter how prepared they were for his tears the second Ryoma started crying every regular felt like some one had just ripped out their hearts stabbed it with scissors repeatedly then forced it back into place through their throat. Everyone was expecting him to not want anyone near him, to see him at his weakest. So, when Fuji gave him a hug they were amazed to see him latch onto him like a lifeline.

Fuji almost began to cry him self when he hear a faint mummer from the crying boy saying "they can't be dead...please don't be dead...I thought it was just a nightmare anything to comfort himself.

"Ryo-chan," Fuji said hoping to ignite some of his usual pride "I know you miss them and I know you really loved them but they are gone. I'm so sorry."

Ryoma just cried finding comfort in Fuji's strong warm arms.

There was a knock at the door and Ryoma's grandparents entered. "Come on sweetie lets get you out of here."

She picked him up as though he weighed nothing and made a mental note to feed him.

His heartbreaking sobs turned to soft cries to whimpers that just mirrored the definition of broken, and finally her gentle heartbeat lulled him into a restless sleep. "Come on all of you". She said walking out the door.

They walked to the front counter were Ryoma's Grandfather stopped and check him out. His Grandmother continued out the door and out to a...Bus?

"Hop on boys!"

"uhm Mrs. Echizen?"

"My last name is not Echizen so please call me Tracy." Ryoma's Grandmother said. "The old man is John"

"Yes...Tracy, uhm why is there a bus?" Oishi asked.

"Ya'll are going to be living together, full permission of your parents and all, if you want Ryoma to stay you stay with Ryoma." Tracy answered. "Your parents are going to meet us there with your stuff. So hop on."

With a few confused and curious glances they loaded onto the bus everyone grabbing their own seat except Tracy who had Ryoma cuddled up on her lap. A few minutes later John came and sat in the drivers seat putting on his seat belt and closing the door. and within a matter of seconds the bus was moving. They drove past the school and went about five blocks before tuning down a road. They stopped for a second in front of one hell of a property when suddenly the sleek black fence opened revealing a dirt path lined with oak trees on both sides. Every 5 oak trees there was and apple tree. as they got closer to the house there were only apple trees and then they saw it.

"HOLY SHIT!" half the regulars yelled seeing a mansion, no not a mansion a castle ivy growing up the stone walls, everything.

Even Atobe wouldn't be able to brag about his Many mansions in the presence of something like this. What was even more amazing was the large staff clad in black suits, chef hats, and maid uniforms standing ready to greet them.

There was suddenly a soft childish yawn from Tracy's direction. "Oba-san?" Ryoma said sleepily, while rubbing his eyes cutely.

"Yes honey?"

"Were are we?" He yawned again.

She chuckled softly before responding. "In my kingdom my sweet".
