"Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its joy". ~Leo Buscaglia


Erin splashed cold water on her face and then stared at her reflection on the bathroom mirror, "did all that really happen? Why did Yukinori look a lot like Yuri? The last names were all the same too... except for mine and big brother Drake... just who the hell were those people?"

*knock* *knock* 

"Erin! Have you fallen asleep in there?"

The sound of someone knocking on the bathroom immediately broke Erin out of her daze.

"N-no! I-uh...am about to finish. Give me five minutes Ran! T-that's you, right?"

Rainier sighed, "yeah... hurry up! "

Yuri peeked from outside the room's main door, "Rainier... is Erin ready? Drake said he's hungry."

"Ah Yuri! Great timing! I'll leave Erin to you cause I think she will take a while longer. I'll lead the guys to the dining room, follow us as soon as she finishes."

"Sure thing... save us seats okay?"

Rainier nodded and walked out of the room as Yuri took her seat on the sofa, humming softly to the music of her favorite artist...

"Yuu? Where's Ran?""

Yuri turned and grinned at the now ready Erin, "he led the boys to the dining... hey, you look a bit pale. Are you feeling ill?"

Erin's eyebrows furrowed as she stared at Yuri's face, "..."

"Erin?"

*sigh*"Nothing, I'm sorry. I'm just having déjà vu... with a bad case of headache."

"Déjà vu? Anyway, take an aspirin after eating and rest. We would be joining Drake later when the guests visit."

Erin felt another wave of headache coming, "can I not come? Tell them I slipped in the bathroom and became unconscious or that I have diarrhea..."

Yuri chuckled and removed the headphones from her ears, "Are you worried about the guests? If you are then there is no reason to. Firstly, I'm sure Drake can handle them on his own plus lawyer grandpa will surely help. Secondly, even if those guests are bad they can't really touch us. We are the owner's treasured friends. Lastly, we'll be there with you so if they even in the slightest bit try to intimidate you then we can intimidate them back full force."

Erin slumped beside Yuri, head leaning on her friend's shoulder, "I've heard that before... and it didn't make things any better. Yuu, I don't want to meet them..."

Yuri patted Erin's head and sighed, "If it's any consolation, I don't want to meet them either for some reason. We can't really leave Drake on his own out there though. "
