I finally get to go home today, I thought as I walked into the private jet. I was sent away to travel all around the world to be educated on every language and culture that there is. Today I spent my last day in New York before I got to fly home. I have now been to every country in the world, learning their languages, cultures, customs, for at least a week in each country. Except the countries like China, Russia, Britain, the USA, and Canada since they are so huge. So troublesome, however, I did learn a lot from it.

"Ootori-sama, we are taking off now." said my personal maid Alice. She traveled everywhere with me and was like my personal assistant. When I was told that I was to go travel around the world I was originally going to get a butler. Sadly my overprotective brothers and father said no as butlers are usually guys. I am happy with Alice though. She truly is a sweetheart.

"Arigatou Alice." I said to her without looking up from my computer. I was calculating how much work was needed to make up all the money which I spent on this trip. My fathers company could pay for it all but it is always better to be ahead. After all that is what father expects from us.

I sighed as I thought about it. I have to make my business expand now. I don't have enough income coming in to sustain my daily expenses. Nii-san's business is still slightly bigger than mine. I shall pass him though. I am just as smart as him. We are the same in everything, except maybe sex, and the only reason my company is behind is because I haven't been working hard enough. I guess I won't be getting much sleep on this flight.

I looked up through my glasses towards the window. It's amazing how small the world is in comparison to space. Earth is like a dust speck in the universe. Us humans, we're the microscopic atoms.

Shaking myself out of my train of thought I looked back down at my computer. I have so much work to do.

"Ootori-sama, The plane is about to land would you like another cup of coffee or shall I take your cup for you?" Alice asked drawing my attention away from my computer. I had finally gotten ahead of nii-san. Not by much though.

"You may take my cup. What time of day will it be when we arrive?" I asked her.

"We will arrive at 2 p.m. Kyoya Ootori-sama will still be in school, Fuyumi Ootori-Shido-sama will be at her husbands house, Akito Ootori-sama will be at university, Yuichi Ootori-sama will be at the hospital, Yoshio Ootori-sama will be at the house doing paperwork." she told me.

"Do any of my siblings know I am coming back?" I asked her.

"Not that I am aware of Ootori-sama."

"When will Kyoya-nii be coming home?"

"He usually arrives around 5:30, however he is involved in a club and it occasionally runs late Ootori-sama."

"Take me back to the house when we arrive then. I wish to speak to father then go to sleep."

"Hai, Ootori-sama." she said as bowed and left to go tell the pilot that it was okay to land.

We arrived at the mansion and I was escorted to Otosan's study. I knocked at the door and waited.

"Enter." he said in his usual distant tone. He's been like this since Okaasan died.

"Otosan. I'm home." I said as I came in.

"Kiriko." he said sounding surprised. "I thought you were not going to arrive for another week. Why are you back so early?"

"The congress session in the United States finished early so I was able to leave and come home early." I told him with a mask. We were not allowed to show emotions unless absolutely necessary. Not since mom died.

"That is good then. I shall ring Ouran and let them know you will be attending school tomorrow." he said regaining his composure. "Your room is not prepared as I was not expecting you until next week. You may stay in Kyoya's room until tomorrow. I will have your room prepared. If there is anything in there you would like, your room is exactly the same as it was 4 years ago. You may grab whatever pleases you before the maids tidy it and renovate it to a taste appropriate of someone your age."

"Arigatou Otosan. I shall leave you to get back to your work." I said as I closed the door to his room and made my way to where nii-san and my rooms were.

Since we where twins we has adjoining rooms though I doubt he has entered my room in the past four years. He was very upset with me for leaving, I thought as I walked to my door.

I opened the door and memories came flooding in. So I immediately closed it and went to nii-sans room. I opened the door then closed it behind me. Letting go of all of my composure I ran to to bed and jumped on it. Climbing beneath the covers I inhaled the sent of my brother. I missed him a lot. This bed is so comfy. I really would like to get some sleep. Then I slowly drifted to sleep hoping to never wake up.

I woke up the next morning feeling something besides me. I rubbed my eyes and reached for my glasses.

Wait, that's weird. I don't remember taking my glasses off... or changing.

I put my glasses on and look besides me and see nii-san.

So I did the normal thing any sane person waking up my brother would do. I poked him in the eye.

Thank you so much for reading. I just started writing and I'm not sure if I'm any good at it. Please leave comments where I made mistakes or things that I could fix to help me along with my writing. I would really appreciate it. Again, Thank you so much!
