It's almost around lunch time when the four finally reached the airport, hundreds of fans and reporters gathered for the arrival of the popular actor, Reginald Fukuda and his author, Min Apollo Wright who's only willing to let Ren play his characters, along with the renowed hotel owner and dark fantasy author Tsuruya Kei.

Three big names in their own fields of work. All becoming world wide known within the short span of five years, especially Tsuruya Kei who came out of nowhere and suddenly rise to the top. All they know is that she studied overseas and that she is personally recommended by the Huntford and Wright family.

Flashes and yells came from crowds as they are getting escorted to a limousine by Shuichi, who wore a black mask to hid his face from the public.

Tsuruya Kei bubbly smiled and waved at the camera as make her way to the vehicle with her King Charles Spaniel dog, Dame cuddling comfortably on her arms. She put up the act, bowing at almost everyone on the way with her pastel dress and flower.

As soon as they reached the limousine, Hiraya and Kyrene attacked the brunette with a tight embrace as Dame leaped on Apollo's lap. Hiroyoshi who sat at the driver sit just chuckling at the sight of their beloved brunette getting hug to death through the rear mirror with Shiuchi, Apollo and Ren just minding their own businesses after spending insufferable hours with her in the plane.

It is already tiring to deal with her getting motion sickness and almost puking over Ren's lap every few minute. Though they knew they couldn't and wouldn't ever blame her for it.

Afterall, it is trauma that is to blame for her sudden nausea. Heck, she couldn't even drive like a maniac nascar driver anymore like she used to. Now, she had either Shuichi or Apollo being her chauffeur as she also couldn't take public transport unless necessary as a promise to her parents when she first got kidnap by the organization so make sure that no one will ever abduct her.

Though unconsciously without meaning to, in every inner conflicts she hear Kazuyoshi Yuya's instructions to calm down. He's her first psychiatrist and only the most successful one on healing her with her traumas, though the man sadly died three years ago due to an undiagnose heart disease.

How come she's such a bringer of bad luck?

"As much as I love you guys, I still wanted to live." The brunette desperately said as she tried to pull herself away from the two in order to breath.

"But this is the first time we ever see you again in person ever since you defeated that big bad organization!" Kyrene whined in protest, only tightening her hold as well as Hiraya's on the brunette even more so — which had her receive a rather scary yet playful glare from her twin brother.

Pouting quite childishly, she let go of the former actress followed by Hiraya who then reached over for a magazin — one that have Sumire as Kei on the cover as a symbol of woman empowerment. Sumire couldn't care less now though. She actually thought that she could finally avoid the spotlight yet here she is.

"So, how have you been?" Hiroyoshi questioned with a kind smile as he drive, eyeing the brunette who now sat between Apollo and Shuichi to avoid getting squished to death by the two equally successful women.

"Fine." She simply replied with no particular thought in mind, jet lag slowly starting to kick in. She really should've taken the motion sickness pill Ren keeps on offering her earlier but it was her pride that stops her from doing so.

As if refusing a pill could stop all the living nightmares that haunts her.

"Just fine?" Hiroyoshi jokingly asked with a chuckle, not noticing the sudden change of expression on her previously relaxed face.
