An Heir for the Dragon

Chapter 16: Family Reunion

"Hey! I just got here," Tomi said from where he stood in front of the minivan. Two other vans were there from the Geomijul to show who was taking them all back. Then Tomi saw Ugajin. "Ah...wow...you're tall...and a giant..."

"Yeah. I get that a lot," Ugajin snorted.

"He's Saiki's brother," Kiryu grinned lightly.

"What?!" Tomi gaped.

"A cousin, actually, but my family was going to adopt her when we found out what happened. It's...a bit of story," Ugajin sighed. "So, I call her my baby sister. And I'll happily punch out anyone that insults her."

"I need to show him...the music box...and the audio tape..." Saiki whispered to her husband in her musical tone. Kiryu found himself nodding.

"Tomi, I want to show him where Saiki was kept all this time. His family was searching for her for years. He needs to know. So you can take us there. Not sure about the others, though."

"I'll head back to the Geomijul headquarters with the others that want to go. We need to set up a room for Ugajin. Maybe...Survive Bar in two hours?" Seonhee suggested. That was agreed to.

"Can I go with you?" Kasuga asked.

"Not this time. We have some personal details we need to go over," Kiryu said lightly. "I hope you have enough space in those vans."

"We have plenty," Joongi chuckled. "We'll meet up with you in two hours."

"Good," Saiki nodded. She was taken to Tomi's minivan with Kiryu and Ugajin. The others were able to load up in the other two vans.

"I'll head back to my base and start sending over information," Akame said and quickly moved off.

"So...I guess I missed a lot...?" Tomi asked as he started the minivan up.

"You did. I'll fill you in," Kiryu nodded. "Ugajin, this is Tomi. He's a very good friend of ours and may be joining us in Hawaii."

"Yep! I lived there, so I know all the good spots," Tomi chuckled.

"Nice," Ugajin chuckled. The drive back started, and Kiryu filled in Tomi on what was missed. Saiki was mildly sleeping against her husband, and he kept his arms around her to comfort her.

"The Daidoji attacked you? On their own decision? That's...pretty dumb," Tomi grimaced. "I thought they would have learned after the first time."

"You can't fix stupid," Ugajin snorted. Saiki found herself laughing at that.

"Sometimes only the hard way allows another to learn. At least one of those men chose to not join the attack. I bet he was stationed as a lookout," Kiryu muttered. "He works for us now. He's at The Castle and watching over Shishido. For now, that's his job."

"Okay. I can get that. Ten minutes out now! I'll probably hit up the Survive Bar when I drop you all off. I'm sure that bartender needs a bit of help with those monks. Gelek was asking for ya quite a bit. I'll give him some intel to keep him off your backs," Tomi said. "If you want that?

"Gelek is fine. It's Rabten we don't trust," Kiryu said with a nod.

"Got it," Tomi nodded. "I may also see if Chi-chan and Sa-chan need to get picked up. I'm taking tomorrow off in case you need anything. I worked some extra hours today, so I'm good for it."

"Glad to hear it," Kiryu chuckled lightly. Then he found himself grinning when Saiki took out the magnum she held onto.

"Where did you get that?!" Tomi gaped.
