Nova POV
I wake up by a turbulence and I take off my blindfold to check on Isabella. She's out like a light hugging her teddy bear tightly. I smile and I turn to see the menu. After deciding what I want I take my phone out and I call Persephone on video chat. She answers rights away.
Pe-Hey, how are you doing? How is Isabella doing?
I put a finger to my lips and I turn the camera so she can see her sleeping through the screen. She smiles happily at the sight and I speak to her.
-She's adorable.
C-Indeed she is.
Ha-You should call later when she's awake.
I hear dad's voice from the other side and I take the phone and turn it to show me instead of Isabella.
-Daddy?
He appears on the screen and I smile widely at him.
Ha-Hey.
-Aww, is so nice to see you. I wish you could hug me like always. I wish you could have came with us.
Ha-You have Karma there with you.
-He's not, available? He's kind of busy.
Ha-Doing what?
-Um, I don't think you want to know and I can't say it out loud.
Ha-Use another word to describe it, I want to know.
I doubt a bit and I look at him still watching videos on his phone. I turn to dad again.
-He's being, indecent.......
I look away from the phone for a moment before dad calls me out.
Ha-Nova, are you listening?
-Sorry yes, I just spaced out for a moment. What did you just said?
Ha-I asked you how do you know he's doing something indecent.
-Three reasons, his breathing, he's using ear buds and he's biting his lip like he does before and after he has a lover or lovers.
Ha-That kind of adventure. Smack him for me.
-With pleasure.
Ha-That was a joke, you know?
-I know.
The speakers announce that they will serve snacks momentarily and they give us a couple minutes to choose what we're going to eat.
-I'll call you when we land, we're going to eat now.
Ha-Say hi to them for us. We love you, see you there soon. Bye
-Bye love you too.
I wave goodbye to all of them and I hang up. I turn and I wake Isabella gently as I shake Karma to pay attention.
-Isabella, wake up. They're going to pass out the food and snacks.
She starts to wake up and I see as Karma saves his phone and he pokes her cheek gently.
Ka-Isa-bella, wakey wakey. Food is coming.
I-I'm tired. Wanna sleep more.
-I'll get you a candy.
Ka-And whatever you want from the stores over there.
I-Anything?
-Wathever you want.
She stretches out a bit and we look together at the menu and we get two lasagnas and a sushi dish.
-So a sushi for me, a fettuccine Alfredo pasta for Isabella and lasagna for Karma? Is that right?
Ka-And we are going to share it.
I-This is so cool.
The food arrives and we divide it in three equals parts and make it so we each have a piece of each dish and we eat them entirely. Isabella falls asleep almost instantly after she finishes eating and we get everything thrown away. After a few hours we land and I wake Isabella up. She wakes up and as the others passengers leave the plane I turn to her for the rules.
-Tell me the rules.
I-Stay by your side, don't wander off, keep within your eyesight.
-Good.
Ka-Let's go.
We get out of the plane and I see as Isabella's eyes glow with excitement at every new thing.
I-Look, that dress is so cute, I want one. Can you get me one?
Ka-Of course we will baby girl. But first, let's go sleep and have our clothes changed.
-We have four days to prepare and do some sightseeing before the first concert happens.
Ka-Then you have two days of rest before we have to do one more look and the interviews.
-Tomorrow, yes or the day after. Don't worry, I always buy stuff for myself on the trips so I'm sure we will find something for you as well.
I-What about uncle Karma? Does he get something as well?
-Only a kiss and a hug. He gets his on his races. You can give him something if you so wish and he agrees.
I-This place is amazing. So different from ho.......
Her words are interrupted by a big yawn and I laugh a soft chuckle. I pick her up on my arms and sure enough she falls asleep as soon her head lies on my shoulder.
Ka-Wow, you really are amazing. She's already asleep.
-What about the bags?
Ka-They're already on the hotel and I received a text that everyone else will arrive tomorrow.
-How is the hotel? Our room.
Ka-You mean hotel. I rented the entire hotel. Well, is kind of an entire house with five rooms, two bathrooms, front and backyard, the kitchen, it has two pools, one inside and one outside and our room is organized so we three sleep together.
-Did you bought this house?
Ka-I'm thinking about it. You'll want to buy it as well when you see it.
-I think I want to buy it now. The way you make it sound is awesome.
Ka-Here we are.
He points to a house out the window and I'm amazed by it's magnificence.
Ka-See? You're speechless.
He takes Isabella on his arms and we go inside the house. He tucks her on her own bed and I go to bed as well. I fall asleep almost instantly.
                      Karma POV
As both ladies fall asleep almost instantly I wrap the blankets on top of them and I get to get the clothes on the closet and the cabinets. When I finish before I go to sleep myself I take a shower and I change clothes to sleep. I let myself fall backwards on the bed and I fall asleep instantly.

The next morning as I wake up I find that both girls are now with me on the bed. I smile at the sight and I carefully slip myself out of bed not waking them and I go shower. When I get out I get my yukata on. I see that Nova is already awake taking her clothes as well. As soon as she sees me she gives me a kiss before she gets in the bathroom as well. I go to the kitchen to cook a traditional Japanese breakfast. I hear knocking on the door and I call out for Nova.
-Nova the door.
N-I'm showering you open it.
-I'm cooking, it will burn if I leave it.
N-Fine
I smile because that last part wasn't true but I don't want to open the door myself.
                       Nova POV
I wrap a towel around myself and I go to open the door. As I pass the kitchen I see Karma sitting comfortably and I see as he stick his tongue out at me.
-You......
Ka-Go on, you're already there.
I throw him a spark of aura before I go to the door again. They knock one more time and I scream impatiently.
-I'm coming.
I hold the towel around me tighter and open the door just a bit to see who it is. I see that is our family with one addition. I smile as I see dad here as well. I call him out as I open the door completely and I turn to hug him tightly.
-Daddy. You're here earlier.
Ha-Morning baby girl.
He lifts me up a bit and I laugh as always when he does that. They all come inside and I close the door behind us. I get them to the kitchen where Karma is still cooking breakfast to feed an entire army.
-Karma, look who got here.
Ka-How can I not know when you screamed who was it. I'm sure all Japan heard you.
Mom ruffles his hair a bit and he ducks slightly seconds after.
Ka-Mom, you know I don't like that.
He-That's why I do it.
C-Where is Isabella?
-She's sleeping. Want me to wake her?
C-Let her sleep.
-Then I'll take your bags to your rooms.
I move to take the bags from them but dad stops me.
Ha-No child of mine will carry my bags, not as long as I'm here to do it. Besides, you have far more important things to do.
-No I don't besides I can carry bags. Is no problem.
He points to me and bends down to whisper on my ear.
Ha-Go finish your shower.
I feel myself blush hard as I remember than I'm only wearing a towel. Thankfully no one says anything as I leave to finish getting ready.
                    Karma POV
I laugh as I hear Nova leaving for the bathroom. I chop the fishes into tiny little pieces as I keep cooking.
-I thought we agreed we were going to pick you up later.
C-This is a nice place you got here. And about the other thing, we thought you were going to be too tired from the trip.
-We travel all the time by her concerts so what we do is sleep on the plane or train or wathever we're using as a transport.
Hercules-Wouldn't it be easier if you use your aura to teleport from place to place? It would only take seconds instead of hours.
I smile at Hercules before I walk towards him. He backs away afraid of what I am going to do but I reach behind him for the biggest meat knife and the long knife as well. I see the terror in his eyes and how everyone else smile holding back a laugh as I go back to the fishes. I start to cut the fishes heads and tails and I answer his question.
-Then I wouldn't meet new people. We like it like this. We teleport only if is a death or life situation. Personally, I don't like to teleport, I prefer to run there and test my limits. You should know, you train until you pass out.
Hercules-That's different.
I get an idea and I call him out.
-Hercules.
Hercules-What?
-Catch.
I throw him the octopus with the tentacles wide open and as he catches it I see the disgust on his face. I laugh and when he makes to throw it to the floor I stop him.
-Don't!
Hercules-What am I supposed to do with it then?
-Hold it.
Hercules-Is disgusting. Gross. I don't like it.
-I know. Would you prefer to hold that instead?
I point to where I'm throwing the heads and tails from the fish and he makes a face, he turns to the octopus.
Hercules-Suddenly this is the cutest thing I've seen.
Everyone laughs at that and we see as Nova comes with Isabella on her small yukata.
I-Daddy.
She runs towards Cerberus and throws herself to his arms.
C-Hey princess. Did you slept well?
I-Yes, did you saw the entire house? Everything's so cute and different from back home.
They all laugh and she takes them to the table. She gives them each a cup of tea and a pair of chopsticks. She helps me getting them each their sushi dishes and their rice. I give mom her wasabi and we start eating our breakfast. As we eat we speak.
Ha-When exactly are you going to sing?
N-I'm going to sing tonight. The thirty of this month and the second and six of next month.
Ka-Four concerts although I think she has something up her sleeve for one of the concerts.
Pe-Why on those dates specifically?
I-Is a surprise.
C-Bummer.
K-Are you doing anything today?
N-I'm going to practice the choreography one more time before the concert. You're welcome to join if you want or you can stay here and sleep and get some rest. Except for Hercules, he is going to suffer from being my assistant.
Hercules-Please, I can do anything.
Ha-Careful with your words.
-It has to be perfect or you will suffer twice as much.
Hercules-You don't seem to suffer when you do it.
-Because I do it all my life you on the other hand, only this once.
He-Can you keep up with her?
Hercules-With a hand tied behind my back. I'll do it. I mean, how hard can it be?
-You have no idea what you just got yourself into.
I take the dishes now empty and I get them cleaned up. Nova goes practice her choreography.
