Concerning

Though she's well off,si jie didn't let it get into her head, She's one of the nicest person one could ever come across.

 "I thought I would die" Sir jie blurt out.

 " Why?"Hope ask but already knowing the answer.

 "You know why so don't ask,sis isn't home for the week and you know I can't just spend my days with lan yuan"si jie fake a yawn.

 " Why not? she's your governess"

 "I know but it's gonna be boring and that will absolutely be a free ticket for those men to visit"

 "Yeah right"Hope shrug understanding where Si jie is coming from "Will you tell me the main reason you're scared of the opposite gender now?"Seeing there's a chance Si jie tells her she press in.

 "No and I don't hate men dummy, I'm androphobic"

 Hope squint her face " It's the same thing buh relax I'm just kidding,let's just go"

 The two drag their feet out of the gate,the college bus halted and the two exchange look "What?" Hope was the first to speak.

 "You said 'let's just go'like you already knew the bus is here"

 " Are our bikini's her"Hope ask to change the topic,Si jie scowl and walk to the bus,hope took a swift look at the mansion and puff out,she ran as fast as her leg could carry to the bus as she shout's goodbye to the governess.

 Si wave at hope from the backseat,her face scaring anyone who looked at her friend or her,hope sir beside her panting hard.

 "Si look I'm sorry, we've been friends for like forever and though you shared some info but not all,we were friends since childhood and it doesn't matter if you're a year older we're connected like siblings"Hope took a long deep breath.

 " But the thing is I know something traumatic happened,which you've never shared,a problem shared is a problem solved"

 " I'm gonna quote Albert words,'keep your mushy concern to yourself'"Si jie said with a grin and face the window.

 " Really?!of all the word been said in my house that's the only thing you can quote?"

 " It's crazy how brains are quick to register insults"Hope roll her eyes " How about Akira?I saw him at your house today,guess he's back after all"Hope look at her in confusion.

 " Akira is back? when?mom was joking about..." Realization Dawn on her " She wasn't joking after all"She suddenly turn crimson with anger. "What does that guy want?he left us to his green pasture then why is he back?"

 " I tell you men are a messed up set of jigsaw,but damn you were his friend"Si jie tease.

 "Please"Hope snort "He was our friend,turned out to be a jerk and we both threw him out of our lives"

 " Like jerks"Solemnly so jie you with her hair.

 " Like jerks" Hope repeated.

 Akira maeda an eighteen years old Japanese with deep toned skin, Alluring oval face,deep blue eyes matched with blonde hair.

 He knock on the door,strapping his backpack more securely in his back.

 Daisy open the door and frown before smilling, she'd already perceived he was here, she'd thought it was a lie because it's rare for hope not to already know what's gonna happen before hand,he was their friends from childhood,hope and Si jie ,formed a beautiful relationship that she cherished the all too soon he was gone.

 Leaving a lingering anger and confusion in the air "Oh Akira dear, what're you doing standing there?come in" She ushered him in,taking his changes in, he'd changed a lot though they do see him sometimes on TV his real self was different with that same aura he left behind.

 The Aura of a king and a dominant,Akira step inside two storey modern with hint of historical built house,Akira locate a blue sofa,he smile fondly recalling some of the memories he'd here.

***

 "This is unfair"Seven yr old Akira pout pulling hope away from the couch.

 "Let her go,we own the chair sir on the black dummy" Si jie hit his arm with a fluffy pilllow.

 "I'm your friend to"Akira said letting go of hope and on the verge of crying.

 "Not like jie, you're a boy so sit on the black we're the girls we sit on blues"hope quickly sit with Si jie.

 Akira started bawling watching the two,hope and Si exchange looks before coming to pat his shoulder. "I'm your friend,I should sit on it too"

 Getting emotional Si shake her head " He should sit"

 "Yeah, he's a girl in form of a boy"hope snarl " He should sit I agree"

 Akira face lit up " But the next time you'll have to dress like us to sir on our throne" Hope continue seriously,Si nod while Akira face fell.

 ***

 "Hey" daisy hand him his coffee "Recalling something?"

 "Yeah,Thinking about hope and Si jie, we were the worst around here then"

 " I agree with that,your mom always running around trying to catch one of you and the incident with the puppy"The two laugh.

 "I couldn't sleep,I thought it was gonna die...like hell we force felled a pet"Jason sigh " I miss it all,I understand you guys must hate me for leaving abruptly but ma I want you to believe me sincerely I'd no option but to leave here,Japanese was my home country and"He exhaled "it was my fate to live there"

 " I understand you Akira,I don't hate you and your friends don't either, they're just a little upset and a talk over would suit it all,you guys are no longer a kid to keep dwelling on what's in the past, I'm happy you came back here,so tell me dear are you here to stay?"Jason Bob his head.

 " I'm the new CEO of dad gane company,though once he's okay He'll go back cause I'm still too young for all this"

 Daisy raise her brow in shock"What happened Akira?"

 "Dad had an heart attack last year because of daichi cancer operation"

 " I heard but he's fine now right?"

 "Yes,but not then the doctors pronounced him dead and that got that into the attack and you know big sis is married with her own Hotel and her own institution to take care of ,I thought of lessening her problem and took up the position"Daisy look at Akira in commendation.

 " You're amazing Akira, you're doing what your mom would've pat you in the back for, Where's your dad and daichi now?"

 "Oh daichi is here with me and grandpa,dad will be moved here soon but big sis still want him to stay"Daisy smile as Akira rub his palm together.

 "I can relate,staying with your dad is a great thing,it must be pretty hard on those directors"

 Akira smirk "Those Men fools and with sis we're trying to get them all out of the company"Daisy nod.

 " You need to explain all of this to your friends"

 " I sure will"

 " Water to step...."

 "No, I'm fine" Akira open his backpack,he brought out a blue cardboard and spread it on the table. "Daichi had a dream the day we came back that was a day ago...and it might sound weird but I need you to explain it, you're always good in interpreting dream"

 Daisy blush as she move to his side to see what's written on the cardboard.

 "Those are ancient Chinese words" She commented.

 "Daichi dreamt about a man showing him a scroll"Daisy flinch the word familiar to her ears " and before he could look at it,it vanished I thought it was a 14yr old guy thing when it first happened that was three months ago"

 " But a day ago he finally could read the words,he wrote this himself but when I asked later he said he didn'tt remember having a dream, it's concerning"Daisy take the cardboard and scowl,she was good at ancient reading but why couldn't she decipher this.

ユ 녀으l. ュ립자는. 우l험흐ㅇㅏㄷㅏ

 "This isn't Chinese" Daisy groan in frustration as it had been minutes since they'd been on it,but the words weren't understandable.

 "Bit shit,it is I gave it to Grandpa this morning and though he also couldn't read it like us he said it was Chinese"

 " I'm sorry we'll have to wait for Alfred and joe wang they're the only two who can help right now and if they also can't read it we'll take it somewhere else.... to someone who would definitely tell us what it meant"

  Akira suddenly turn opening his backpack, frantically searching for something he brought out a neatly filed paper and hand it to daisy.

  "Daichi saw this on his hand he woke up to show me this and strangely he could've swore this is the dream he could remember"

  Daisy heart went frenzy, everything confusing what the hell was going on?a scroll?why a scroll and and old ma?she thought.

  "I'd a dream last night" This got daisy attention "and when I woke up I saw"Akira roll up his left hand sleeve up and daisy gasp "it was tattooed on me" Daisy stare at the deep dragon scale on his hand shaping to only one person, pointing at only one person.

  "Hope" they both mutter.
