A/N: Before I begin I just want to thank all of you for the support behind this story. Literally every comment on the last chapter was people saying they wanted to see this. So I'll be true to my word and once a day everyday for the next thirty five days I will upload a new chapter of this story. Now this story is a little different from most of my other stories however I hope all of you enjoy it. Now like I said the spellings probably really bad so try and push through it. I do get better with spelling as the story goes on but even so please try to ignore all the spelling errors.

A boy in his late teens stood on top of a grassy hill looking at the sky. He was relaxing and of course he loved moments like this moments filled with nothing but silence. He had been on this hill for about three hours now. He let his mind drift to so many different thoughts. He a certain question had been circling around in his mind for about a week now.

As if some magical being was answering his question. The wind blew an old picture that he had not looked at in months it came to stop on his lap. Revealing him with his family he was between his mother and father. While his Imōto (little sister) Mako was on his shoulders playing with his hair. While he was holding his Otōto (little brother) in his arms.

He may only be a year older than his Imōto Mako but, she looked up to him as if he was a celebrity. She in his eyes was the best big brother their was she even took to calling him onii-chan (big brother-chan) She had no romantic interest in him but she still didn't think onii-san represented how she felt towards him.

His mind wondered back to that day the day he left his family.

Flashback eight years ago

You walked into your home and sat down in your room you needed to tell your family about what you planned to do but how could you tell them. You desided the direct approach would be best. So you walked out of the room and sat down in the dinning room. After everyone else got in you sighed you planned to leave tonight you already packed everything you needed and cleaned your room so everything would be nice in case someone else needed a place to stay your family was always kind to anyone in need no matter who they were.

After you finished you stood up and began to speak "Everyone I have something I need to tell you. I have desided that I'm going to leave and travel the world." At hearing this your mom went out of the room crying and your dad quickly followed even though most of the time he acted childish he knew when to grow up and help people. After seeing this you sighed and closed your eyes honestly this situation was the one that played out in your head the most. To top ot off you hated seeing anyone close to you cry you hated it even more when you were the one that caused it.

You just got up got your pack and were about to leave until you heard a voice that always tugged at your heart strings. "Onii-chan a-are you r-r-really leaving?" Mako asked in between sobs. You hated making her cry more than anything she was your little sister how could you not care for her. "Yeah sorry ko-ko-chan (your nickname for her) but I have to do this. There's something I need to do."

Mako then ran over and hugged you from behind and sobbed into your back she then calmed down you had to think of something to say otherwise she may never forgive you. You turned around and got down until you where at eye level with her. "I think I know why your upset but I promise one day I'll come back." Mako then looked up with reddened eyes and a tear stained face with a bit of hope.

She then looked down and began to speak "Are you really going to come back or are you just saying that to make me happy?" You then looked at your Imōto and got a flash of brilliance and spoke to the crying girl on front of you. You put your fingers under her chin and lifted them up so she was staring at you. You reached into your pocket and pulled out a folded picture and handed it to her.

"There now you know I'll be back. That is something I value more than all my other possessions and one day I'll return to get it and then we all can live like we used to OK ko-ko-chan." She then took the picture and unfolded it. It revealed a picture of a boy with h/c (hair colored) locks and younger version of herself and three other figures on the ground. She was confused because she didn't understand how this was your most valuable item.

You then bent down and said "believe me now ko-ko-chan I will return one day and I will stay this time." You then stood to your full hieght (about a couple intchs taller than her) and rubbed her head and spoke once more "Now sorry but I must be going." She the tugged on your coat once more and said one mor thing before you left she held up her left hand with her pinky-finger "promise me you'll return one day then I'll believe you Onii-chan."

You just smiled at the young girl and pulled her her finger around yours and said "I bet my soul on it." You then released the young girls finger and walked outside. You ment every word of what you said back their but knowing that you gave your little sister some hope made you more cheerful than you had expected to be with that on mind you sprinted down the streets to the airport.

Present time/ Eight years later

The teen sat up and said. "It's time for me to come home." You then got up and went to your bag and got out a camera. You had a plan for how you were going to tell them you were coming home. You went to a local store got a blank card took a picture of yourself. Wrote something down put the picture in the card and put the card in an envelope.

After doing all this he went to a local post box and slid the letter in the hole. You then stated to walk towards a local dock. 'God I hope the boat I get this time doesn't smell like dead fish like the last one did.'

With Ryūko and your family three days later

They where all eating except for Ryuko who was being force fed by Mako with no say in the matter as had become a regular daily occurrence at the house this all stopped when their was a knock on the door. Everyone stopped as Mako went and opened up the door. Everyone looked to see that it was just the slumps postman he then held out a letter and said. "This letter is for one Mako Mankanshoku." The girl nodded and took the letter and said "thank you mister postman please come again." While waving goodbye to him.

"Well Mako-chan what did he want?" Said girl then held up the letter and said "I got a letter." She wasted no time in opening it when she did she found a plan card with no writing on either side. The others looked at it with curious eyes. She then opened it when she did a picture fell to the ground. Ryūko picked up said picture to reveal an admittedly attractive teen.

"Well Mako I think you may have a secret admirer." She said holding up the picture. Mako then turned to the card and read it aloud. "Hey everyone I know it's been a long time but I've finally desided it's time for me to come back. I hope nothings happened to anyone since I left. I looked forward to seeing you all again. By the time this gets to you I'll still be on a boat sailing here." This made everyone curious as to who sent the letter.

Mako then continued by saying saying "P.S. I hope you still have what I gave you . . . . . " the girl couldn't believe what she saw written next. She then darted over to Ryūko and grabbed the photo completely forgetting about the card letting it fall to the ground. She held the picture close to her face and focused her eyes on the picture having a completely serious face.

After a couple of seconds her face turned from one of complete seriouness to one of utter joy. By the look on her face you could have easily confused her for a small child who had just been given a lifetime supply of candy. She then started running through the house screaming at the top of her lungs. It was a scream of pure joy and excitement.

"Okay what made her so happy?" Matarō asked. He was about to read the rest until Mako came back in and shoved it in Sukuyos face. She read the letter and became teary eyed as she join in on Makos jumping.

"Hey what's going on Mako?" Ryūko asked.

"MY ONII-CHAN'S COMING HOME." Mako yelled at the top of her lungs.

"You have an Onii?" Ryūko asked.

"Yeah we do." Matarō answered. He then continued to say "I've never met him. He left when I was still just a baby. He's only a year older than Mako but from stories I've heard. He was really strong and waaayyy protective."

'Sounds like a certain piece of fabric I know of.' She said mentally.

"I'm sure me and him are nothing alike."

'yeah right strong and overprotective.'

"I can assure you I am stronger." Ryūko was about to respond until she heard Matarō speak again.

"He also acorrding to mom had several falts such a bad temper a foul mouth and he always had a strange addiction to pocky. But according to dad he had several perfections to such as his cooking his protective nature and an insane amount of intelligence."

"What was he like?" She asked.

"Like I said before I've never met him I was still just a kid when he left. You should probably ask mom or Mako he spent more time with them than he did with dad." The boy with glasses on his head said.

She desided to take his word on it and went to find Mako. She found said girl on her room looking at a picture. "What's that?" Ryūko asked peering over the girls shoulder. Mako turned to her best friend and said "my onii-chan gave me this picture the day he left. He said it was his most valued possession."

"Really?" Ryūko asked. "Yeah I asked mom about it later because I didn't understand." She then held the photo up so Ryūko could see it. "She said she didn't know. Later I remembered the day this picture was taken. The little girls me the boy beside me is my Onii and the three on the ground are some people that used to bully me."

"Then why are they in the picture?" Ryūko asked. The response she got was the girl smiling before she said "the reason their in the picture and on the ground was because my Onii beat them."

"Really? I mean I get it. But why?" Ryūko said.

"Well I never told anyone they bullied me. I didn't want anyone to worry about me. But one day it was really bad I was so scared they ended up breaking one of my arms." This alone made Ryūko mad. She then continued to listen to Mako's story.

"It hurt so bad I ran home and ran into my room crying. When my Onii saw me crying he went into the room with me and made me fell better. He asked me what was wrong and I told him I was being picked on by bigger kids. I showed him my arm and told him that it hurt. He stayed with me all night to make me feel better he even let me sleep on his shoulder." This made Ryūkos rage die down a bit.

"He followed me around all day the next day. When they showed they tried to pick on me again and when they did (name) beat them up. After that day he said if they ever bothered me again to tell him. He told them however that if they ever made me cry again he'd kill them. I don't know whether he was serious or not but they never bothered me again." At this point Ryūkos rage had completely faded away.

"he sounds very protective of the ones he loves."

'yeah he does.'
