Masaomi placed his white coat onto himself, exiting his room. His mind is empty, his footsteps echoing into the empty hallway. He only stopped when he noticed Kaname up ahead as they exchanged looks. The elder let out a laugh, the monk entering the elevator with him.
"It's been pretty lonely recently huh?" Kaname said, leaning against the elevator door.
"Ever since she left that is, I guess it has been at least two years," Masaomi replied a sigh exiting his mouth.
"She returns any day now."
Masaomi looked over at his younger brother, his hand clenching within his pocket. They never spoke a word to each other as they walked into the living room, Ukyo greeting them. Kaname seated himself down onto the couch, as he was now 28-years-old. Masaomi was 33-years-old, everyone growing up. Ema was much more mature as she headed down the stairs.
"Did Subaru already go?" she asked, struggling to put on her jacket.
"I think he did," Kaname answered, watching as his sister walked out the front door.
Ukyo tried to call after Ema, telling her to eat something but sadly she had already left. Other brothers started to come down, going towards the table to eat their breakfast. That's when Masaomi stopped Kaname, turning the younger to face him.
"Let the best brother win," Masaomi said, leaving to go to his job.
Kaname laughed softly, his lips curving into a smile. He was definitely going to win no matter what. Ukyo noticed those two, his hands busy cutting the ingredient for lunch. The battle for love was brutal, especially if it's a love triangle. Lucky, Ukyo never told anyone that Mizuna was coming tomorrow since she wanted to keep it a secret. He was going to pick her up and secretly sneak her inside the house without alerting anyone. Mizuna wanted to surprise everyone in the morning as she comes down like normal. Ukyo chuckled at that ridiculous plan, his heart beating slightly. He had set the knife down, slowly regretting not being around Mizuna when she was here.
"I would have beat Masaomi and Kaname," he sighed.
Cleaning his hands, Wataru zoomed inside the room. He was currently in middle school, but he still acted like a little child. The youngest brother was the one that missed Mizuna the most, often waiting to hear that phone call from his dear sister. Even Natsume was waiting for her to come back, everyone getting pretty shocked as he always wanted to know if Mizuna communicated with them recently. But sadly, she had never called within those two years.
Mizuna hummed a little tune as she has packed the last bag for her flight back to Japan. Paris had treated her well, her popularity skyrocketing around the world. She had offers to go to America, but Mizuna wanted to see her family as soon as possible.
"Are you sure you don't want to do those other offers?" Aoiko asked.
"Of course, I want to see my family. I miss them a bunch," Mizuna smiled.
Usashiro hopped onto her lap, cuddling in her lap. She ran her fingers through his soft fur, placing him into his cage for the long flight that was coming ahead. Walking out her luxurious apartment, she followed her manager into a taxi for the airport. Bringing her suitcases, she was already boarding an airplane by now.
"Mizu-chan why don't you just visit your family for a little while then you can go to Korea for your job?" Usashiro suggested, feeling a hand started to pet him once again.
"I already made up my mind Shiro-kun. I can do that later on in the future or something like that."
The rabbit didn't say anything else, just started to fall asleep in her lap. Looking out the window, Mizuna closed her eyes to fall asleep.
Ukyo was waiting patiently at the airport, leaning against his car. Looking at the time, people passed him with stares and looks. He tried to ignore them, a women walking up to him. She had long, curly black hair and a smile that looked so familiar.
"Ukyo-nii, you haven't changed a bit," she giggled.
"M-Mizuna?"
She nodded her hair, going over to the trunk to place her bags inside. The lawyer tried hard to cover his embarrassment as he went inside the car along with his little sister. She had grown more mature, more beautiful. Ukyo had to really keep his focus onto the road instead of looking at her. They arrive shortly at the house, Mizuna breathing a gasp.
"It's been ages since I see the house," she said, recalling the memories.
Of course it was nighttime, the siblings were already asleep as the two sneaked inside. The living room was dark, the only light coming from the kitchen. Ukyo instantly hid Mizuna behind the couch, the brother making his way towards the person who was still awake. To his surprise it was Kaname, his clothes different from the ones he normally wore.
"It's really late. What were you doing Kaname?"
"I was out with some girls. What about yourself Ukyo?" Kaname asked afterwards.
"Someone called me to look over a case that they were desperately trying to figure out how to defend their client," Ukyo explained.
"That's so rare. Anyways, I'm going to sleep now. Good night."
With that Kaname made his way upstairs, Ukyo retreating towards the couch to see how Mizuna was doing. But she had forgotten how her brother's voice was, her heart beating out from her chest. It's been a long time since she heard her brother's husky voice. Getting up, Mizuna made her way towards the elevator, stepping inside once it opened. Exiting off her floor, she noticed her bedroom light on as she hid in the shadows. Someone came out, Masaomi shutting the light off. He made his way to the elevator, not seeing his little sister who prayed that he didn't see her. Once he was gone, Mizuna rushed inside her room.
"Nothing changed," she said proudly, going to bed afterwards.
