The atmosphere was extremely tense when Genjirou returned home with his family. He didn't know why but he felt very uncomfortable while seated in the car next to his brother. His step mother had hugged him but then when she had noticed the older man that Genjirou had noticed in the audience, she had stepped away and not even looked at him again. Genjirou had still not yet introduced himself to the man but he could feel that he was a very important person in the family.

"Genjirou, this is your older brother, Sanada Genji" Sanada-san said quietly.

Genjirou bowed low to his oldest brother. He stood up straight and saw that Genji's expression had not changed at all.

"Why is he here?" Genji's voice was deep and commanding.

"Because he is family" Sanada-san replied.

"You brought an illegitimate son home. Do you know what kind of rumours will be spread once people hear about this? Our company's future will be in peril" Genji said.

"I haven't told anyone about-" Genjirou spoke up.

"No one told you to speak, boy!" Genji said and Genjirou fell silent.

"If anyone does ask, we will simply say he is adopted" Sanada-san said.

"He should have never set a foot in our home. He needs to leave" Genji said.

"I will not allow that!" Sanada-san said loudly.

"Then I shall leave!" Genji shouted.

"Genji, calm down" Their mother said quietly.

"You will never see your grandson, Sasuke, ever again if this bastard stays in this home. Either he leaves or I leave" Genji threatened.

"Genji, I did not raise you this way" Sanada-san said.

"You raised me to uphold family values above all else. I'm afraid I've lost my respect for you when you brought this child into this world" Genji fumed.

"You don't need to be angry at him!" Genjirou spoke up loudly. Everyone turned to him.

"You should be yelling at me. You should be screaming at me. He simply provided a home when I didn't have anyone to rely on. You can't dangle a threat of never letting an old man see his grandson. I'll leave and I will never come back. I'm sorry I disturbed you for this long, Sanada-san. I'll just pack my things and go" Genjirou bowed and was about to walk out of the room when his father caught his arm.

"Genjirou..."

"It's fine. I'll spend the night at my friend's and go back to school tomorrow morning. Thank you for keeping me this long" Genjirou said kindly.

He hurried up the stairs and then began throwing his clothes into a bag. He made sure to take everything he could possibly need and then rushed down to the front door. The landing was deserted meaning everyone had retreated to their rooms.

"Genjirou!"

Genjirou turned and smiled when he spotted his brother Genichirou waiting for him. He hugged his brother and felt Genichirou hand him an envelope.

"Father asked me to give you this. He'll try and visit you soon. Nii-san will come round soon and you'll be back home in no time" Genichirou said.

"Thank him for me and tell him that I..." Genjirou took a deep breath and mustered up his courage. "Tell him that I love him, okay?"

If Genichirou was shocked, he disguised it and then let his brother walk out the front door. Genjirou turned around when he reached the gate and then waved with a sad smile. Genichirou resisted the urge to run outside and bring him back but he knew he couldn't. Instead, he watched his brother walk out into the unknown darkness.

"I haven't been very honest with you, Fuji" Genjirou admitted.

The first person he had called on his list was Fuji. He knew the brunette would never turn him down and he was right. As soon as Genjirou had called, Fuji had invited him over and fed him whatever leftovers he had had for dinner. At the moment, Genjirou was lying down on Fuji's bed right next to the brunette.

Genjirou didn't know why but their closeness felt so natural just like breathing. He wanted to pull Fuji into his arms and hold him forever but he didn't really want to scare the brunette off. Fuji opened his eyes showing off his brilliant blue irises and quirked a brow in question.

"My mom had cancer. That was the reason why she wanted to come back to Japan and give me to my father. At first, my father didn't want to accept me but when we did a DNA test, he slowly began accepting me and soon the whole family accepted me. Everything was fine until what happened today" Genjirou said.

"What happened?" Fuji reached out and held onto Genjirou's hand tightly.

"I have a brother who is a year older than me. I knew that there was an older brother who had a wife and child as well but I had never met him. He came to the talent show today and he took an instant dislike to me"

"I was seated right next to Sanada and Yukimura. Why were they at the talent show? I know that Sanada's father had been kind to arrange your motherr's funeral but..." Fuji's voice trailed off as he put all the pieces together.

"You and Sanada are half brothers!" He sat up in alarm.

"Yes. I'm sorry I didn't tell you before. I wanted to keep it a secret since their family is rather famous in the business sector" Genjirou replied.

"So Sanada's older brother came to the talent show. He looked rather annoyed and so I thought he had been forcefully dragged there" Fuji said.

"Turns out he hates me. As soon as we got home, he started threatening my father that if I didn't leave then he would never bring his son at their home again. He would deprive his parents from seeing their one and only grandson" Genjirou explained.

"Poor Sanada's father. What did you do then?"

"I decided to leave before my father could say anything. I thanked him, packed my things and left" Genjirou replied.

"You know you will always have my home if you need somewhere to come. I'll always be here" Fuji said, looking at Genjirou with an unreadable look in his eyes.

"Thank you, Fuji" Genjirou didn't stop himself and pulled Fuji into his arms.

Fuji melted against Genjirou's built chest and breathed in his hypnotising scent greedily. Genjirou smiled as he felt Fuji cuddle against him. They stayed silent for a couple of minutes before Genjirou spoke up.

"Fuji, what are we?"

Fuji stiffened and looked up into Genjirou's amber eyes.

"Genjirou, I've liked you ever since I met you" Fuji confessed.

Genjirou leaned down and pressed a kiss against Fuji's forehead. Fuji's eyes fluttered shut and he pressed himself closer to Genjirou if it was possible. Genjirou smiled before leaning down and pressing his lips against Fuji's. Fuji gasped but Genjirou pulled away before they could go any further.

"I like you too, Fuji" Genjirou whispered.

"Genjirou...call me Syusuke"

"Syusuke"

Fuji blushed as Genjirou leaned down to kiss him again. He felt warm and protected in Genjirou's arms. Genjirou sighed as he held Fuji. He had never felt so inexplicably happy in his life. It was like a hole had been filled up in his heart. He felt the pain of losing his mother but his father's love had cushioned it somehow. Now, after being banished from his family home, he felt pain and hurt but Fuji had comforted him enough so he could distract himself from it.

"I wish I had never done this to us" Sanada-san said.

"Kazuki-san, we would have never predicted that this all would have happened" his wife, Mai said while rubbing his shoulder in comfort.

"I did not realise how much power I had given my oldest son until it was too late" Kazuki said, his eyes full of tears.

"You thought he was responsible enough and you gave him the company as well as many assets. It is not your fault that our son now dictates our actions because of his power" Mai said.

"I knew he would not accept Genjirou but I did not think he would throw him out on the streets. Tomorrow, I will go and look for Genjirou and give him a home to stay in. He does not deserve to become a street rat after all that has happened" Kazuki made up his mind.

"I'm afraid you are too late for that" Genichirou said from the doorway.

"Do not scare us, Genichirou. What if your brother heard you?" Mai said, clutching at her chest.

"Nii-san has already left but I overheard him talking on the phone. It seems that he will be placing private investigators to watch both you and mother" Genichirou reported.

"Private investigators? How daring can one son get? Doesn't he realise that I am his father? Instead of respecting my privacy, he places private investigators on my tail?" Kazuki asked angrily.

"It will difficult for you to meet Genjirou and it will be a danger to Genjirou as well if you go and meet him" Mai said.

"Then we have no other choice. Genichirou, you will need to go to Tokyo and see Genjirou. Take Yukimura and Yanagi on pretence of a weekend trip. If Genjirou is comfortable where he is, then just leave him be. Explain our situation and apologise on my behalf" Kazuki said.

"Yes father" Genichirou bowed.

"Go to sleep. You have a long week ahead of you" Kazuki said.

"Goodnight, father. Goodnight, mother" Genichirou bowed and retreated back to his room.

"This is delicious!"

Fuji grinned as Genjirou took another spoonful of the fried rice that Yumiko had made. Yumiko herself was blushing with pride as she watched Genjirou eat like a homeless person who had been hungry for months. Fuji himself was surprised by the amount Genjirou could eat. However, he could see the built body under Genjirou's thin tee shirt and that only came from heavy exercise and movement.

"You can stay for the rest of the week, Genjirou" Yumiko said.

"Oh no, I have to get to school and I live at Atobe's home since it's closer to school" Genjirou said, after swallowing his chewed food.

"Hyoutei is on the other side of the city" Fuji admitted.

"If the food is so good then I'll come here every weekend" Genjirou grinned.

"Not for me?" Fuji pouted.

"I would come here every day for you, babe" Genjirou grinned, cheekily as Fuji flushed at the affectionate nickname.

"I'm going to work then" Yumiko said.

"Nee-san, it's Saturday" Fuji said.

"You might be a high school student but I do need to work, you know. I'll see you at five" Yumiko kissed her brother's cheek and walked out from the kitchen.

"We're all alone then" Genjirou smirked.

"Yes we are" Fuji couldn't stop his blush.

"Come here, babe" Genjirou beckoned his boyfriend and Fuji obediently walked over. Genjirou wrapped his arms around Fuji's waist and pulled him onto his lap.

"I have a few movies upstairs" Fuji whispered.

"I have something else in mind" Genjirou said and he kissed Fuji's chin.

"You horny teenage English boy" Fuji smirked.

"That I am. Now come here and kiss me" Genjirou pouted.

"You're extremely lucky that my aunt allowed us to use her apartment for the weekend" Yanagi said the following Friday.

Genichirou, Yukimura and Yanagi were currently on the train towards Tokyo. Genichirou hoped that his brother had not found out about them coming to Tokyo but he doubted his brother would be free enough from work to even realise what Genichirou was doing.

"What is your intention during this trip?" Yanagi asked.

"Genjirou needs to understand who my brother exactly is in regards to the family and the business. I also have a message from father to pass on since nii-san has placed people to follow my father and my mother" Genichirou replied.

"Where did he go after your brother kicked him out?" Yukimura asked.

"He said he stayed at a friend's. He did have a ticket to Tokyo so he must have taken the train and then gone to Atobe's mansion" Genichirou replied.

"Any snacks? Tea, coffee and juices served for 100 yen!"

Yukimura glanced up and then attracted the attention of the seller. He bought coffees for all of them and soon enough their stop arrived. They first headed to Yanagi's aunt's apartment. It was a small two bedroom apartment. Yukimura and Yanagi grabbed the first room leaving Genichirou on his own. After they had settled in, Genichirou immediately called his brother.

"I didn't think you'd call. Has Genji placed trackers in the phones?" Genjirou's wry voice said as soon as he picked up.

"We both have private numbers, he can't track them" Genichirou replied.

"How are you? How is father?" Genjirou asked.

"We're all fine. I need to meet you as soon as possible. When can we meet up?"

"I can come along right now if you want. I can tell Atobe's driver to drive me"

"We're at Yanagi's aunt's home. The address is..."

"This place is warm and cozy" Genjirou commented as he took off his coat.

"Nice to see you again, Genjirou" Yukimura said with a large smile.

"You too. Sup, Yanagi" Genjirou flashed the peace sign at the data master before throwing himself onto the couch.

"Are you attending school?" His brother asked.

"Oh yes I am. There was a review on our showcase in the newspaper and online as well. My teacher said that many of the producers were rather impressed but they haven't sent any offers. I would like to audition for them in the upcoming auditions" Genjirou replied.

"So you'll be an idol?" Yukimura asked.

"That was the plan before Genji showed up and started talking about a huge business that I didn't even know the family owned" Genjirou replied.

"That's what I have come to explain you today" Genichirou folded his arms.

"So get on with it" Genjirou leaned back, ready to listen.

"Before we were all born, my father was the second son of the Hayama Atsuki and Sanada Gen'emon. Atsuki was the only child and daughter of the Hayama Group which consisted of several banking institutions and numerous food and beverage chains. Since she was the only heir, she inherited the entire business after marrying our grandfather Sanada Gen'emon. He loved her very much but she died after giving birth to our father. The group was them transferred permanently to the Sanada family"

"Isn't your family in the whole dojo/ sporting scene?"

"We are still but we merged the two businesses together. My grandfather is still in charge technically of the dojo business but my father has since taken over as CEO. When my brother became of age, it was decided that my father was unable to take care of two businesses at once. So half of my father's shares in the company were transferred to Genji effectively making him CEO of the former Hayama Group" Genichirou explained.

"So why are you all so afraid of him? He might have one business but your father surely has more power over the decision making" Genjirou pointed out.

"He doesn't. When he gave the business to Genji, he effectively gave him all the assets including the power of attorney. This meant that the entire business was now Genji's and no one else's. My father regrets this because he has now created a monster who crushes even his own family in order to make profit and gain even more power"

"Why would your brother go after me? I don't even want the family business" Genjirou sat up.

"He is afraid of what this will do to the company image. Also, he believes that my father will hand over the dojo business to you and you will compete against him and take the former Hayama Group from him" Genichirou explained.

"I have no interest in all this. You're the heir for the dojo business and not me. I just want to become an idol and make my own money. That's it. I don't need him butting into my life" Genjirou was livid.

"He doesn't believe it. If you're not careful, he could hurt the people around you" Genichirou said

"He needs a stern talking to and a slap to the face. If he ever tries anything, then he'll have me to answer to" Genjirou said.

"Genjirou, please be careful" Yukimura pleaded.

"I might not have all this business junk in my mind but I understand what exactly it means to have the rug swept from under you. Your brother has no right to defame our father and take away what was a gift for him. This is not right and it will not continue this way"

"Genjirou!"

"Just wait, nii-san. Just a few more years" Genjirou promised.

"But-"

"Tell father that I'll be staying at Atobe's home and not to worry about me"

"Okay but please be careful" Genichirou said.

Genjirou's phone began ringing and he reached into his pocket. He read the caller ID and smiled softly.

"Hey, babe"

Yukimura froze when he heard the affectionate term slip out from Genjirou's lips. Genichirou raised his eyebrows but didn't say a word. Yanagi had already pulled out a notebook from seemingly nowhere and had began scribbling away.

"Yeah, I can meet you after you're done with practice. What time? Five? Okay, we'll go for dinner then. My treat since it's our first date" Genjirou said.

He hung up and Genichirou pounced.

"Who was that?"

"My boyfriend" Genijrou replied with an innocent smile.

"Can I have a name?" Genichirou's face was set like stone.

"Fuji Syusuke" Genjirou smiled and his eyes sparkled.

Yukimura turned and left the room.

So we finally have Genji appear. Did you guys like him? I enjoyed writing him since he's so mysterious and never really mentioned in the anime or manga. Review and tell me what you all think.
