Lui and Maiko were having a blast in their time in the cruise ship. Being carefree and not worrying about anything else in the world.

And now, they're taking a tour in Paris, France — The city of love. They were just given a whole day to explore, and it's back to the cruise ship.

"Wait... Brother, didn't Naito say that he lives in Paris?"

"Oh! Come to think of it, he did say that!" Zac said.

"Then let's go visit him!" Maiko excitedly said — jumping up and down, excited to see her eldest brother.

"Oh yes! We can surprise him." Zac agreed.

"Now if I remember correctly.. He once told me the address of his house.. Now what was it again..?" Zac hummed, trying to remember what Naito's address was.

"Ah yes! That's it!" Zac snapped his fingers, indicating that he now knows where his brother lives.

"Then what are we waiting for?! Let's go find big brother!" Maiko jumped up and down, bumping her fists in the air.

They took a taxi. Zac pointed the direction to the driver. And after a few minutes of twisting and turning, they finally stopped infront of an old-fashioned victorian style house.

"Is this the place?" Ayaka asked. "Yep." Zac nodded confidently.

Maiko meekly held Lui's hand while looking down at the ground. "What's wrong?" Lui asked. "I thought you were excited to see your brother?" He added. Maiko slowly nodded.

"Yeah... But he seldom ever visits us.. And I'm worried he's forgotten all about me.." She pouted.

"Tsk! That's nonsense. Come on." Lui said and held Maiko's hand. They then walked towards the door. Zac was yet to ring the doorbell.

Zac cleared his throat and pressed the doorbell.

"Just a second!"

Maiko tightened her grip on Lui's hand. She could feel her heart pounding. She was both nervous and excited to see her big brother. He never visited their house in years.

"Did he forgot about us?"

"What does he look like?"

Those were all running in Maiko's head.

Then, the door finally swung open. Maiko saw the face of the brother she missed dearly. Naito's eyes widened. He didn't expect visitors. Especially not them.

"Zac...?"

"What's up, brother?" As Zac finished, Naito engulfed his brother in a warm hug. It was obvious he missed him too.

They let go of the hug and Naito's eyes went to Maiko. His eyes widened.

Has it really been years? She looks so big now compared to the last time he saw his little sister.

"Maiko..?" He gasped and immediately carried his little sister in his arms.

He wanted to cry. Oh how he missed them dearly. But he has to hold back the tears.

He rocked Maiko around, wanting to embrace the moment.

He finally let go and invited them in his house. "C-come in!" They all went inside. They looked around and everything was all vintage.

"Nice place you've got here, Naito." Zac complimented while eyeing a lamp.

"Haha thank you." Naito said and prepared tea. He set it in the living room table.

"Come. You guys must be famished." He motioned them to sit down.

And they all chatted for a few minutes. Catching up on the good old days.

"Oh, Maiko. I'm so sorry about your loss in the show.." Naito said.

"Y-you watched my contest..?" Maiko asked.

"Of course! You know I'll always support you in whatever you do, little sis." Naito said. Maiko was heartfelt.

"It's not MY loss though, it's the company's loss. They'll regret not letting me win! Hmp! Watch me rise on my own." Marina huffed as she took a sip of her tea.

Naito just chuckled at his little sister's big ego.

"And what is the great Lui Shirosagi doing here?"

Maiko almost choked on her tea.

Lui widened his eyes. "Huh? You know who I am then?" He smirked.

"Why of course. With 5 straight championships? You're one of the most feared bladers in the world. Not just Japan." Naito explained

"Uh-umm... Brother..." Maiko nervously started. She slowly reached for Lui's hand. "L-Lui's my boyfriend.." She answered.

"Oh, good for you sis." Naito went back to sipping his tea, but choked on it when realization hit him.

He quickly ran to Maiko's chair and kneeled infront of her. He tightly held her shoulders.
"TELL ME IT ISN'T TRUE?!" He dramatically cried.

"Oh come on, Naito.. Maiko can handle herself now." Zac sighed.

"MY BABY SISTER IS ALL GROWN UP NOW WAAAHHH!!!" He cried while crushing Maiko in a hug.

He let go of the hug and wiped his single tear. "I'm ok now." He sniffed.

He turned his direction to Lui and darkened his eyes. "You better take care of her, Lui." Naito grimly said.

"What is up with this family getting scary all of a sudden?!" He sweatdropped.

"What are you guys doing all the way here in France anyway?" Naito asked as he went back to his chair.

"Oh, we're actually in a cruise ship. And this is one of our stops. We only have a few hours before we have to get back though." Ayaka answered.

"Well then, there's no time to waste! Let's go to the Effiel Tower!" Naito announced, standing up.

Maiko squealed in excitement. She always wanted to see the Effiel Tower up close.

"Oh! Wait a sec! Brother, can I use your bathroom real quick pls?" Maiko asked.

"Oh sure thing." Naito nodded.

Maiko ran through the narrow halls of the house. But she doesn't know which door goes to the bathroom.

She opened one of the doors, and her eyes marvelled at the sight.
