"Takumi!" A women's voice cries out as she saw her dear son who was now 16. Fujin hearing his old name startle him and makes him feel nostalgia run through his veins. He was finally home.

When he took apprenticeship at the age of 10 he wouldn't had imagine that he was halfway across the world from home. It took him seven years to get back and so many things happen in those seven years without his family, and the god of the winds bless him that it wasn't longer. Now he can finally embrace his love ones once again.

He could feel the warmth of his mother, Mikoto, as she tightly squeeze him in a hug. His little sister, Sakura, also join in the group hug as his older sister, Hinoka ruffle up his silver hair. Ryoma stands near while letting out a joyful laugh at this reunion. When he is finally release from the hug he takes a few breaths to only notice something. He inquires his family, "Where's Kamui?"

Everyone looks at each other at his question. Hinoka is about to say something until he felt something akin to a blanket jump on him. "TAKUMI!!!"

Her voice is so loud that the whole neighborhood could hear. Her snowy white curls fall down onto her sides as she side hug Takumi. Taking one quick squeeze she release her hold. Takumi sees that Kamui is still wearing her school uniform. She bows down apologetic and her breath was fast and short, "I'm sorry... I try to... Come sooner, but... Stupid peop... Tried robbing the store... And the cops had to keep me for witness, reports!"

She starts to cough and she covers her face in her arm, revealing a blue bag in her hands. Takumi smile at the sight of his sister and politely lectures, "Hey, before trying to explain something out of breath. How about you try taking a long deep breath instead and then explain."

At his words Kamui stops coughing and takes five long deep breaths before explaining again, "So I was out at the store to buy something, then these three guys came in loaded with guns. I was pretty surprise but the worse part was that they pointed their guns at me. Freaky right? Then what happened next was pretty cool, my friend was with me, and he exposed them. Supposedly the robbers had BB guns instead of real ones, and when that was reveal all the employees started throwing stuff at them. I mean it, all the employees were throwing disposable cups at them. I'm sure the robbers were so shocked that they didn't fire back and eventually the police came and arrested them. Then I had to stay to give a witness report to the police cause my friend got involved. So, sorry Takumi for being late!"

Takumi understand what had happen to his sister but he didn't on why she was apologizing so much. He sees nothing wrong in not apologizing since she went through that type of situation. All his other siblings thinks the same and they begin asking if Kamui is alright and reassure her that she did no wrong. She still keeps on apologizing for being late and Takumi interjects, "Kamui it didn't matter if you were late, I'm just glad you're okay. C-cause if you weren't... I w-wouldn't be able to see you!"

Takumi blushes ferociously at his words, but he didn't regret saying them. His heart flutter with joy as his sister smiles and once again gives him another hug, "Takumi me too! I miss you so much!"

"Kamui, don't you have something you want to give him?" Ryoma interrupts the two siblings hug. Kamui immediately lets go and goes straight to her book bag, "All the sisters worked hard on this just for you."

In her hands reveal a scrapbook. Hinoka proclaim, "It was Sakura who came up with the idea and had Kamui help her create it. I just got the materials and photos."

"Big brother, w-we placed pictures of when we were all together. Then the next pages represents the years without you just to show you how we change. B-but don't worry it's not finish yet. Because we want to add in more pictures with you with us now." Her voice is gentle, the same sweet voice Takumi always loved. He is about to open it but Kamui yells, "Stop! We have to do something first! Everyone line up I have to take a picture first!"

Everyone follows her instructions and she set up a camera. Quickly she runs to her place and as instructed Takumi is standing in the center. Everyone smiles and the camera flashes, then a slip of paper comes out of it. Kamui runs forward to catch the paper. She flaps the paper before taking a quick look at it and she smiles. Gingerly she slides the photo in the front cover of the scrap book and shows its blank face to everyone. "It came out great!"

Takumi takes a glance at it to only find his eyes watering. He opens the book and start flipping the pages with great care. He takes his time to burn each picture in his memory. The further he looks in this heavy scrapbook the more his eyes blurs. He keeps it in until he reaches a clear page and close the book to once again see the fully developed family picture that he is in. He sniffles a few tears back but then let's it all out.

His family around him is comforting him and Ryoma is gently rubbing his back. Takumi hugs the book close to his chest and finally he whispers, "I'm back."

Everyone replies altogether, "Welcome home."
