Reinhardt Crozzo is a very patient man. He is so patient and calm that he rarely gets angry, annoyed for sure, but never angry.

Reinhardt is just like a simple sky that only makes your day better. Said Kallen Kaslana. 

That idiot might be a womanizer but I trust him enough to have my sister near him. Said Sakura. 

But there are things he never tolerates, like people messing with his younger brothers. Especially Rex. The poor kid has already been through enough. The only reason he hadn't scolded Kiana was that she was the little sister of someone who truly loves Reve and uncle Ziggy and Auntie Cecilia had been nice to him. 

The other bullies. Not so much. 

Oh yeah, speaking of Kiana, her sister, Bianka, was getting bolder especially after that mission from Europe. 

Also, it has been a few days since Rex went on a mission. Knowing his little brother, he was fine.

Kiana

=== 

The white-haired Kaslana woke up early today. She was not hungry but it was for another reason. She knew her sister was still asleep but she wanted to speak with her. Opening her sister's door, she was surprised to see her blonde older sister snuggling to a tied-up Reve Crozzo. 

Well, not tied-up, just happily snuggling back with her. Kiana was sure that their parents already knew about this, after all, Bianka had been quite possessive of Reve ever since that mission in Europe. 

Blushing lightly, The younger Kaslana closed the door and sighed as she went to the kitchen. 

"I want some Hopia." She said before her smile turned sad. It was t̶h̶e̶i̶r̶ her favorite bread. "Rex... where are you?" Sniffling quietly, the girl sat on the couch while hugging her knees.

She missed Rex. Ever since they first met, they have always been together until their first year of junior high. 

"Kiana? Is everything alright?" Cecilia Asked as she went downstairs, concerned why her daughter was down. 

"Mommy..." Kiana said with a smile, trying to put on a fake smile. 

"Is this about Rex?" 

"Yes."

"Oh, sweetie." Cecilia hugged her daughter gently before she kissed her forehead. 

"I miss Rex," Kiana said as she looked down. She bullied him a lot. Not much, just some name-calling, some pushing, making him a gopher, and sometimes stealing his homework and copying it. 

"You can talk to him, sweetie." 

"No! I bullied him, Mom. From the second year to the third year and I treated him like a ghost on our first year." She said to Cecilia. After all, she wanted o fit in with more girls her age. Sadly, many girls hated how different Rex was from normal boys and decided to target him. 

"Sweetie, you know Rex is a good boy, he won't hate you." 

"I... It's not about that." What many do not know is that the reason she used to embarrass Rex was to make sure, he would not find another girl he would like. She made sure she was bullying him whenever the girls who were interested in him were near. 

"Sweetie! Is it just me or did Bianka kidnap Reve again?" Siegfried asked as she went down the stairs 

"Yeah, she did. Surprisingly, there was no rope this time." Kiana said as she stood up and went to change for her morning runs. 

"Kiana... is she thinking about the kid?" 

"Yeah, you know how connected those two are," Cecilia said with a sigh. While she was sad that Rex and Kiana's friendship was severed, she was at least happy for Kiana to find some real friends like Bronya and Mei 

"I do. They used to be so close. But I guess it's our fault as well." Siegfried said with a sigh as he sat down. 

"Mother, father." Bianka Kaslana greeted with a smile while dressed in yellow pajamas with rubber duck designs all over them. 

"Uncle, auntie." Reve greeted with a nervous smile. He was dressed in a pair of blue pajamas with dog designs. 

"Hey, Reve. Did Bianka kidnap you again?" Siegfried greeted with a smile while his oldest daughter blushed heavily, 

"Yes... I just stopped locking my door and windows. She always finds a way to get in."

Inside the Crozzo training ground alpha, 

Rin and Reinhardt sneezed at the same time before looking at each other. 

"JINX!" they shouted at the same time while off to the side, Sakura facepalmed at how her friend influenced her youngest sister 

"Why did I agree o have this idiot teaching Rin." 

"Come on, Sakura. Reinhardt isn't that bad." Kallen said as she looked at the master-student duo

"Kallen... I saw him dragging Rin to the beach and ogling other girls." Hearing his, Sakura winced at the way the water bottle was crushed in Kallen's hand. 

"Is that so?"

Ren hummed as he had Fu Hua on his lap. they were currently on one of their numerous safehouse with this one resembling a Japanese estate. It was one of their favorite locations in Japan as it was spacious, private, and just right for them. there was also a dojo with weapons for training. 

"Ren, do you want to visit them?" Fu Hua asked as she rested on her husband's lap comfortably. The great phoenix of Shenzhou has always been fond of her descendants. After all, Their oldest son, Achilles was the patriarch of the Crozzo family. 

"While I do want to,  am afraid I will do something drastic." 

"I promise I will stop you from pressuring them to make you great-grandbabies." Fu Hua teased while Ren just groaned in his hands.

"Come on, Kiana-chan. I'm sure, Crozzo-san will forgive you." Mei said with a smile, hoping to cheer her beloved junior up. 

"But what if he hates me now." 

"It will hurt more if you don' try Bakiana," Bronya said as the three walked to their homes. 

"Grr... just because you go on missions with him all the time..." The youngest Kaslana said while Bronya just smugly smirked at her. A buzz from her phone caught her attention and Bronya pulled it out. Gasping in surprise, the young Russian girl looked at the screen. "Subject Rex Crozzo has been heavily injured after his last assignment." 

Hearing this, Kiana's world broke, and without hesitation, took Bronya's phone, memorized the location of the hospital he was in, and ran like hell. 

"Kiana-Chan! Wait up!" 

'Hold on, Rexxie... I'm coming!' Kiana thought as she ran as fast as she could.
