Your life was about to take a new turn as the plane's engines hummed, preparing to land in the heart of Tokyo's northside. From above, you gazed down at the thousands of lights in the night, spotting Shibuya crossing where the northside and southside of Tokyo converged.

And it was just your luck that Tokyo's airport was on the side that Ken despised – northside.

To any ordinary human the tall buildings across from Shibuya crossing were just a part of the eccentric concrete jungle of Tokyo, but to you, the building in the north was an invisible border to never cross. Meanwhile, the building in the south part of Shibuya was a haven. You eyed the tallest buildings in Tokyo while turbulence bounced you up and down in the first-class seat.

You chuckled silently to yourself as you thought about the irony of the buildings. It was if the two tallest buildings were mere monuments of mockery to each other. If only everyone knew that both buildings belonged to the most dangerous gangs in all the world, and they were rivals that were currently in some peace agreement.

The plane lowered into the gray clouds and eventually the wheels landed on the runway. Quickly organizing your items, you hopped out of the seat and grabbed your suitcase from overhead. You would've liked to have checked in your bag, but due to your brother's distaste for being in the northside, he had deemed it quicker to be in and out of the airport if you'd had a carry on.

As soon as you walked off the ramp, hundreds of people filled your vision. Most young people sat on the ground with their phones hooked to a charger, meanwhile older people sat in the chairs. Finding your ground, you looked up to the signs and rushed to the exit.

With a dull ache in your calves, your eyes darted from one person to the next, until you found a tall blonde man with a dragon tattoo on his head. "(Y/N)!!!" Ken's voice shouted across the airport, and you ran to him.

Even if he was a pain in the ass, he was your brother.

His arms wrapped around you tightly as he spun you around. Your heart soared as tears threatened to drop from your eyes. Using all your mighty force, not a single tear dropped as you refused to let go of your brother's silk suit. "I missed you, brother."

Pulling back, you quickly added, "and don't you dare make me leave Tokyo again."

Emma's honey eyes and blonde hair came into vision and you instantly pulled her into a quick hug. "Don't think he can do that again." She said.

You began to wonder what strings Emma had to pull to let her go into the northside with him. Perhaps he was getting a bit laxer in his older years...

"Speaking of Tokyo, let's get out of here." He grabbed your suitcase from your hands and rolled it out towards the fresh city air. His driver meeting him with an open truck and rushed us inside the cab. Ken got in last as he mumbled, "Can't wait to get out of the northside." Before slamming the door shut.
