"What fates impose, that men must needs abide; it boots not to resist both wind and tide"

- William Shakespeare

Rainier released a huge yawn and stretched, "wah... I've slept really well today."

"Yup, you were snoring..."

"I was not!"

Drake grinned and straightened, "yes you were... I woke up because I heard you"

Yuri smiled and shook her head lightly as the three bickered about who snored and who didn't. Erin and Drake ganging up on Rainier who was red from embarrassment,

"We have arrived at Fukuoka. Please double check your belongings before leaving the train. Have a nice day!"

Drake stood and stretched, "time to go..."

Yuri stared absentmindedly at the window and sighed softly, "So it is..."

"How do we get to your place, Drake?"

Drake tugged the trolleys off the cart at the top and handed them one by one to the waiting hands of his friends before he answered, "The lawyer said his grandsons will be there to escort us to the manor."

"Manor? Sounds rich..."

"Psh... it's probably just some house on a hill or something, my great grandpa was a recluse last I gathered."

Erin approached Yuri and tugged at her shirt sleeve, "Yuu... is anything wrong?"

Yuri shook her head and gave a small smile, "I just saw something I didn't want to. I'm fine don't worry. "

"Hey! What are you two whispering about!? I think the car's here!"

Erin looked worriedly at her friend, "we'll talk about this later... for now let's go to Big brother's place."

Yuri nodded and sighed when she got a glimpse of the girl inside the train, "Finally... we have been waiting..."

"Woah! A Bentley!"

Rainier and Erin ran towards the vehicle making Drake smile and shake his head. Yuri gave one last look at the Shinkansen, brows furrowed and trying to think about the last message of the girl ghost. The driver and passenger door of the Bentley opened, cutting Yuri's train of thought. From the driver's seat a tall, handsome young man with spectacles came out while from the passenger's was someone who looked eerily familiar...

Rainier bowed politely... cheeks slightly red, "President Nakajima... it's a surprise to see you here."

Motoki Nakajima smiled, "I am as surprised as you are Rainier. My grandpa just said I have to fetch his client's grandson and his friends. I didn't know it would be you guys... Hello Miyazaki, Law, Yuuyuu..."

Yuri smiled and saluted the SC president, "hullo brother Motoki!"

"I'm here too... Yuyu. don't I get a welcome?"

Erin and Rainier worriedly looked at Yuri who sighed, "I don't really care if you are here or not Jeremy."

"President, open the trunk. We need to load our stuff."

Motoki popped the hood open and soon all the bags were deposited at the back. Drake then sat on the passenger seat ignoring the protest of an angry Jeremy...

"Hey! That's my seat!"

Drake looked at Jeremy darkly and he gulped in fear, "u-um... I'll sit beside Yuri then"

The SC president chuckled when Yuri gave a dark glare almost rivaling Drake's making Jeremy shudder, "why are you all giving me scary glares?"

Motoki fastened on his seatbelt and fixed the mirror before smiling to his passengers, "it's going to be a 4 hour drive from here so you can sleep first if you want to."

Drake smirked, "Ran and Eri had enough sleep for all four of us. Ran was snoring even."

Rainier was aghast and he immediately shouted, "I did not! Tell them Erin!"

Erin chuckled and stuck a tongue out, "I'm with big brother...sorry Ran!"

"Aish... you two!"

Motoki saw from the mirror that Yuri had fallen asleep on a now frozen Jeremy and he smiled while continuing to drive towards the Higuchi manor.

Drake crossed his arms and looked outside the car, "there's a reason why you were sent to fetch us... right President?"

Erin's eyes widened at Drake's comment, "brother..."

Motoki chuckled and continued to stare at the road, "Ever the perceptive one aren't you Law? Well then, if I tell you that Jeremy and I were sent to protect all four of you... will you believe me?"

Drake snorted and the two at the back turned to Jeremy who is now wearing a serious expression which is very rare, "brother Motoki... is it okay to tell them?"

Rainier's brows furrowed, "is there something we ought to know... senpai?"

Motoki pushed his glasses up and smiled, "it's okay Jeremy... they need to know a bit anyway. I'll tell them about it and you concentrate on making sure little Yuu's head won't fall off your shoulder and into somewhere she shouldn't be."

Jeremy pouted and Erin shook her head, "President Nakajima ... this has something to do with brother's inheritance, right? Was his great grandpa involved in something bad?"

"Good question Miyazaki. Actually Mr. Higuchi was a very nice man... he had no enemies that we know of and his businesses are all legal."

"Then who are we being protected from? If he was that good of a guy then Drake should have no problems with everything he was left with."

The car stopped on a red light and Motoki turned to face everyone awake, "money can make a good guy turn bad... and do stuff he shouldn't be doing... plus a bunch of other stuff. The house is pretty old too so Grandfather thought you might want an exorcist included on the team."

"Exorcist? Who's the exorcist? There are ghosts?"

"Ghosts don't exist... there's no scientific explanation for it."

"There are unexplainable things in this world Drake. You shouldn't be close minded about it."

"I wasn't being closed minded Ran, I was just saying..."

*whisper* "Oh no... here they go..."

The light turned green and Motoki turned his attention back on the road, "everything will be explained later. That's enough for now. Please try to get some rest."

Jeremy's eyes narrowed when he saw a black flame roving behind the car...his eyes narrowed and started chanting. The black flame slowly faded and Jeremy leaned his head on top of Yuri's as he slowly fell asleep, "that takes care of her...bloodied eyes huh... the nerve to follow a car with me in it."

The car lapsed into silence as everyone was immersed in their own thoughts throughout the travel.
