A/N: Back from Holidays vacations. Sorry for not updating during the Holidays because I was on vacations. So here the new chapter.

Enjoy!


With Ryoma's description of the suspicious room service boy and the video of the security camera, Atobe and Fuji went to talk to the manager of the staff of the cruise and to the security staff.

The man was not a registered staff of the cruise and the security center got a signalization that a master key has been stolen. The chief of the security send his men to find that suspicious man. They caught him and his accomplices. Through the investigation, they found out that they were paid to kidnap the young Mitsuda. They were supposed to hide the children in one of the warehouses where many ships and boats were sailing. But the kids escaped. Someone told them that two small children, a boy and a girl, slipped in the cruise ship before its departure when the staff were charging the food. Three of the kidnappers also slipped in the cruise to search for the children. They disguised as the cruise staff members to make their job easier.

The three kidnappers were imprisonned in a locked room until the cruise reached its destination. They will be send to the police after that.


Back in her room.

"Ah…" Ryoma sighed as she flopped herself in the divan. "What a tiring evening…"

"Meowww…" Karupin agreed with her.

Touga and Sora entered the room with Kaoko and Aoko after their bath and their supper. Seeing their uncle Syuusuke, Touga went to him and grabbed his pants, pulling on it to get his attention.

"Syuu-nii, will Sora and I be kidnapped again?" Touga asked. Fuji bent down to Touga's level and put a hand on his head.

"No, don't worry. The bad men are caught now, so you can be reassured," Fuji told him. Touga nodded to him.

"It's very late now. You two should go to bed. We will discuss of everything tomorrow," Atobe told them. He turned to his butler. "Enzou, is their room ready?"

"Hai, obocchama," Enzou answered. "I prepared the room next to yours for them."

"Good," Atobe said. "Let's go now, Touga, Sora." Touga followed Atobe's steps but not his sister. Sora didn't move from her spot.

"Sora?" Touga looked at her. Sora was tensed and she was shaking. "Come with me," Touga told her. Sora hastily shook her head, refusing to go with him. Suddenly, she ran to Ryoma and clung herself to Ryoma's leg.

'Eh?!?' Ryoma panicked.

They all looked at the little girl. Sora was shaking madly and she was crying. She firmly hold onto Ryoma's leg, refusing to let go.

"Sora! Come now!" Atobe ordered at her. Sora shook her head again and hid her face against Ryoma's leg, crying.

". . ." No one made a sound in the room.

"I think she is scared to sleep alone," Yagyuu said. Sora bit her lips, her face confirming Yagyuu's saying. Ryoma bent down to her.

"You don't have to worry Sora," Ryoma said. "Your brother Touga will be-…! Ah!" Sora jumped onto Ryoma and swung her arms around Ryoma's neck.

'Ah!?' Ryoga got caught by surprise.

"Sora?!" Touga was confused. Sora don't respond to him but look up at Ryoma with big big big teary eyes. Ryoma stared blankly at her.

'What does she want from me?' Ryoma wondered. She was not good with kids. She had never been so close to a kid before. She don't know what to do nor can she understand what this little girl wants from her. This little girl was confusing her. Yuuta walked to Ryoma and Sora. He crouched down next to te little girl.

"Sora, you want to stay with her?" Yuuta asked. Sora shyly nodded.

'EH?!?' Ryoma looked at the girl clung to her neck, eyes wide.

"Ryoma-chan," Fuji said. Ryoma got caught by surprise. Fuji too was crouched like Yuuta, just in front of her, but she didn't heard him approaching. "Ryoma-chan," Fuji said again. "Can you let her sleep with you tonight, please?" Ryoma opened her eyes wide, blinking twice. Fuji was looking at her with his eyes opened, asking her a favour.

'Fuji-senpai is actually asking me a favour?!' Ryoma cannot believe it. But that's what was happening right now. And Sora was looking at her with pleading eyes too, her lips trembling. Ryoma sweat dropped, feeling a little uneasy.

"I think Sora will feel more secure if she sleep with you, Echizen-chan," Yukimura said. "She is still very disturbed by what happen to her today." Ryoma looked at the little girl again, who was still looking at her with puppy eyes. Ryoma sighed. She gave up.

"Fine, you can sleep with me," Roma said. Sora broke into a huge smile. She tightened her arms around Ryoma's neck and snuggled against her chest. Ryoma was surprised.

'I don't understand why she would feel more secure with me than with her brother,' Ryoma wondered. But Ryoma's got cut by a tug on her right sleeve. Ryoma turned her head to see Touga standing next to her, his left hand clutching her sleeve.

"Huh?" Ryoma said.

"C-can I-I-I s-stay w-w-with y-you t-too, p-p-please…" Touga stuttered.

'Ehhhhhhhhhh!' Ryoma's mind screamed again. Touga blushed, but looked directly at Ryoma, his eyes pleading too. And he don't let go of her sleeve. He wanted to show that he was strong, but inside, he was still a little bit scared to be left alone. Ryoma saw his right fist closed. And he was trembling a little bit. Ryoma sighed. She gave up again.

"Fine, you can stay with me too," Ryoma said. Touga broke into a huge smiled like Sora.

"Arigatou onee-chan!" he said happily.

"Ahh…" Ryoma sighed.

'I really don't understand how kids think in their head.'
