One day, you'll understand why I did it….

One day, you'll remember, and eventually…

One day, you'll forget, but I know.

For the first time in his whole life, Nokoru can't find any single paperwork on his council desk! What a disaster! Yet all the members of the student councils, the Kindergarten, the Elementary, the Junior High, the High School, and the College councils, they were all waiting for his answer on their papers… and how on the world he could answer if there was not a single paper he could read on his desk?

And that's thanks to…. Suoh.

"Akira! Where on the world is Suoh?" cried Nokoru to his poor loyal who had no idea as well where his senpai might be hiding.

"I-I don't know, Kaichou…. Really! I swear!" Akira answered with his large puppy eyes. He was near to tears when he looked at the angry Nokoru.

"You're not into this, are you?" asked Nokoru in suspicion. "Akira, I need you to tell me the truth!" He walked closer to the poor man. "Akira…."

"No, Kaichou…. I really don't know where Takamura-senpai is now…. Honestly…."

"Akira! Do you know what kind of emergency situation that we're having now?" glared Nokoru.

Akira shook his head weakly.

"The whole school is waiting for my response and my signature on their papers, and yet… I found nothing on my desk this morning… and there's no other way that it can happen, unless… unless… your Takamura-senpai purposely hid those papers from me! Yes! That's must be it! He must have HID them!"

"But, Kaichou…. Why would he do that?"

Yeah… why would he do that? No – wait! Nokoru suddenly remembered something. This must be a revenge that ninja had planned in order to give Nokoru a lesson that he wouldn't forget. Couple days ago, Suoh had fallen into a very tiring argument with him about the deadlines of the papers, and as usual, no one on this Earth managed to find a way to make the youngest heir of Imonoyama family did something that he didn't like no matter what.

"Take it easy, Suoh… Life is short, play more…" Nokoru giggled.

Suoh obviously didn't like what he heard, "yes… I would love to play more, if you finish playing with my patience!!!! Kaichou!!! Please for once be serious!! Everything depends on your decision this time, whether to have the graduation celebration in respective campuses or in the gamera hall altogether!"

"Yes! I understand… but it's not important now… anyway, we still have two more months to go right, so can't we take care something else first?"

"No!!" Suoh was heavily distressed now. "You don't get it, don't you? They need it NOW!!!"

Nokoru only smiled. He came closer to the stressed blue-haired man, pat on his shoulders, and said, "Don't worry… Leave it to me…. Now, you can go and spend some time with your lovely Nagisa-jyou. Have a nice weekend, my friend." His smile grew wider, he gave a little hug, and happily went away, leaving the irritated Suoh alone with his unfulfilled demand.

"You know what Suoh? You've got to give those papers a break. They can be sick of me. Everyday they have to see my face and have their body stamped by me. If you don't give them a break, they'll runaway from us. They'll hide themselves. They don't want to see us." Nokoru grinned.

Last thing he remembered before leaving Suoh behind was how red his face was. Though he wasn't so sure why Suoh's face could be so red in shades, at that moment, he didn't care. He just needed to getaway from there as soon as possible.

Now – back to the present, Suoh successfully hid all his papers that he needed to read and sign fast. Very cunning… he took his words and turned it into evil ideas - but he did it! He managed to make the carefree-Kaichou panic. Now, what should he tell Rijichou about this? Rijichou had to be angry, and he didn't want it to happen. Nobody had ever seen how angry Rijichou could be….

"Akira…" his voice whispered…

"Ye-yes…. Kaichou?" horrified Akira replied.

"You're definitely not helping!" Nokoru glared at him. "There's no way you don't know where my Secretary – in this case – your Takamura-senpai is! Or at least… you must have an idea where he is hiding my papers!!!" Nokoru's usual calm voice had turned louder and it scared Akira very much.

The poor man just stayed silent. Trembling, yet too weak to runaway from the scene. He was trapped.

"Akira… Confession time…" the blue eyes observed Akira intensely just like the eyes of predator watching closely its prey. Suddenly, Nokoru had a terrible joke in his head, and since Akira wasn't too cooperative, Nokoru thought it was the perfect time to play prank on the man.

"Akira…" he gripped Akira's arm and got his face closer to his. He whispered, "I know who you are, and if you don't start spilling what you know about this situation, I'll tell everyone I know, including Oohkawa Kaichou about who you really are."

Akira's black eyes were widened. He looked at his Kaichou unbelievingly, stunned and pale.

Nokoru grinned. He instantly knew his prank was working. Anything to get those papers back on time…

But unpredictably, Akira jumped on his knees and cried as loud as he could.

What the??

"Kaichou…. Please…. I know you know all this time that I'm the one who did it…. But I swear every time I did it, I promise to return it."

Huh?

"I know it's bad to steal…. But it's for my mothers' happiness…. But I've returned every single thing back to the place after my mothers don't want them anymore…. So please… I beg you…. Don't tell Utako-san about this…. She'll never want to see me anymore….. and don't tell Takamura-senpai either…. He'll hate me for sure for the rest of his life. You know how he feels every time you mention about the case of Nijimenso, the 20masks thief…. I can't let him know that I am Nijimensou!"

WHATTTTTT???!!!!!

Nokoru closed his mouth, preventing his jaws opened with in the air. He gasped. Definitely this was not what he expected to hear. Akira was the famous Nijimensou? The one who always stole things from the campus and his private mansion? And all this time, the person was standing beside him all the time.

"I know I can't lie to you. I know you suspect me long before, however I'm glad you never mention this to the others, especially to Takamura-senpai."'

Nokoru shook his head. Bad prank…. But show must go on….

"Okay, I understand. I promise I'll keep the secret safely. But you have to help me to find the papers. I know it's Suoh who did it. So if you can give me a clue where I can find him, then I'll get what I want and I'll stop bugging you."

Akira sniffed. Struggling, he wiped away his tears and running nose. "I'm not so sure where Takamura-senpai went to, but last thing I heard that he was talking on the phone with Azuya-san. Perhaps, you should go and ask her. She must know where he is."

Okay…. So his next problem was to find the lovely beautiful girl friend of his own Secretary, which was as mysterious as her boyfriend. The super talented artist, Azuya Nagisa-jyou. At the moment, Nokoru had no other choice else than finding that lady as soonest he could. But how?

Nokoru hurriedly got out of his gigantic High School Council Boardroom, and rushed to go to the Elementary Sites where the girl used to be. By the way, by the time, the three of them graduated to the High School Division, the girls were still spending their last years in the Elementary School.

Nokoru dialed a number in his cell phones, and within seconds later, he had an answer already, "Ohkawa Kaichou? Sorry to bother, but I need to see you NOW! It's urgent!"

Elementary Council Boardroom

"What can I do to help, Imonoyama Kaichou? You seem to be very panic…" Utako asked him.

"Well, it's a long story, but I need to see Nagisa-jyou right away. Is she with you now?" Nokoru eyed the whole room carefully, hoping he would sight a glance of Nagisa's figure.

"Oh… So you're looking for Nagisa-san…" Utako sensed that something was not right, "may I know why?"

Actually, Nokoru was reluctant to say the reason, but for the sake of his reputation as a gentleman, he could not tell her a lie, "it's a long story, but I need to see her to find out where Suoh is. Do you happen to know where they are?"

"No, in fact, I haven't met Nagisa-san either today. I'm not sure where she is now." Utako's eyes were widened, "Why can't you find Takamura-senpai? I thought you're always together with Takamura-senpai, why so sudden? Is anything terrible happened?"

"Yes! I have no idea what he's thinking but he hides all my important files away. I can't find any and they are on deadlines!"

Utako almost couldn't help smiling to hear what happened. She almost couldn't believe that Suoh could play pranks on his Kaichou as well. "But, it shouldn't be a problem for you right? Considering you must have remembered every single file and the contents…"

"As a matter of fact, I do. But, still I need the papers to sign. It's impossible even for me to re-type the whole papers, not within the time left…"

"I see…" Utako replied shortly. She felt a pity for the situation that Nokoru was dealing now, but she couldn't do anything, could she?

"And I cannot figure it out, how on the world Suoh managed to hide thousands of papers on my desk?" He threw himself on the couch, resting his head. Suddenly, he remembered what Akira just told him in his office. He wondered whether Utako had known the hidden fact of Akira as well. But how could he find out? He had promised Akira not to tell anyone about his secret, but it wouldn't be fair if the person who loved Akira the most in this world did not know the truth about Akira.

"Is there something wrong, Imonoyama Kaichou?" Utako observed the suddenly-silent-man.

"Ohkawa-Kaichou…." Nokoru wasn't so sure where to start, "I know…" He paused, not sure what to be said afterwards. "I know… it." That's – it. Hopefully, she would understand what he was trying to say.

Utako looked at him for a long time without saying any words. She seemed to be puzzled, but the serious look on Nokoru's face made her feel that this was not a joke.

"You know… it?" She repeated the blonde's words.

Nokoru just nodded his head slowly. "I know."

Utako gasped and turned pale instantly. "What-… I mean…, how-?"

"I just heard from-"

"I know one day you'll find out!!!" Utako cried as loud as she could, and startled the blonde. "Oh my God!!! I'm so ashamed!!! Please don't tell Akira-san about this!!! I beg you, please!!!"

Now Nokoru was really puzzled, he had no idea what Utako was talking about. "What are you ashamed of? It's not a big deal… You and I are-"

"You don't have to continue it!" Utako yelled at him in panic. "It's an old story…. I'm really sorry that I still have a crush on you, Imonoyama Kaichou…."

WHATTTTTT???!!!!!

Nokoru quickly covered his mouth hiding his shocking look. //That's not what I mean!!//

Utako continued, "Before I meet Akira-san, I admit that you're the one that I'm always dreaming of. You're kind, full of attention, and very intelligent. I really wish one day I could marry you, but I know it won't be happening. You have so many girls out there that are much better than I am. Even my sister has a crush on you too by that time. And I'm sure you have no interest in me either. Slowly, I make myself believe that it's better to forget you and find another new love. That's when I met Akira-san. But I couldn't help blushing every time I have to meet you in the eyes and talk to you."

"But I thought…. You're in love with Akira now…"

"I do. I am. But I still can't forget you…. Please don't Akira-san about this, it can make him brokenhearted. I promise I'll be loyal to him, but don't ask me to forget the feeling I have for you either!"

Nokoru felt his head was soon exploded into million of pieces. He got to hang on something before he lost the ground under his feet.

After taking a deep breath, he took his handkerchief out his uniform coat and handed to the crying girl. "Ohkawa Kaichou, I understand how you feel. I'm sorry for making things difficult for you. I promise I won't tell anyone about this."

"You do? You don't blame for having these feeling? You don't feel irritated being near me?" whispered Utako between her cry.

Nokoru shook his head calmly and gave the usual angelic smile. "No. How could I feel that way to a wonderful gorgeous girl like you? In fact, I feel honoured to be loved by a special girl like you."

Utako dried her tears slowly, and gave her best to smile again.

"But now, I need your help to find Suoh or Nagisa-jyou…. Before things get worse…"

Utako thought something, and decided to give the information to him, "well, I don't really know where Takamura-senpai is at the moment, but I surely can tell you where Nagisa-san is. She is in the Central Park. Perhaps you'll find them there. I heard that they're meeting each other in the Central Park."

Nokoru smiled and reached for her hand. He gave a gentle kiss right on her hand which made blush even more. "Thank you."

He quickly made his way out of the Elementary Boardroom and headed for the mentioned place. There was no time to digest the fact Utako just told him, well, at least not now. He needed to find Suoh, let everything else fell later.

The Central Park

Nagisa was sitting right in front of the big tree in the middle of the park. She had nothing else to do now, else than waiting for the sun set few moments later. Suddenly, a familiar voice called her in distance. She diverted her sight looking for the man who was calling her. Nokoru arrived shortly to her seat panting. He seemed to be running all the way there.

"Nokoru-sama?" Nagisa greeted awkwardly. Obviously, she didn't expect the Imonoyama heir would appear near her.

After catching his breath, Nokoru smiled and greeted her back, "Nagisa-jyou… Glad to see you here." He took a seat beside her.

Nagisa looked at him quietly and felt a bit aware. She never expected to sit so close with him. "Are you looking for me? Is there anything I can do to help?"

"Nagisa-san. I know." Nokoru was really tired that he hardly continued what he was trying to say.

Nagisa's eyes were widened. //Is he here because he knows it?//

"Look," Nokoru continued, "I know who you're going to meet."

Out of he expected, a tear dropped from the corner of Nagisa's eyes, and her body started trembling. "Please don't be angry, Nokoru-sama. It's not his fault."

Nokoru was quite startled to find Nagisa crying, but he could understand how she felt. Of course she didn't him to be mad at the one she loved the most in this world.

"Nagisa-jyou, you don't have to feel bad about him. I just need to see him and ask him-"

"Excuse me," someone interrupted him, "Nagisa-san?"

Both Nokoru and Nagisa turned their heads to see who was calling. It was…. Idomu??? Yudaiji Idomu? //What is he doing here?//

Nagisa quickly wiped away her tears and blushed. Nokoru felt something was not right here. Idomu seemed to be so uneasy when he found out that it was Nokoru who sat beside Nagisa.

"Oh, it's you, Nokoru-san. Ah…. Long time no see?" Idomu greeted awkwardly.

"Yeah… I-"

"What are you doing here?" Nokoru asked in confusion.

"Ah…. I…. actually, we…."

Idomu's stuttered answer made Nokoru suspicious. In a sudden, Nokoru realized everything. "Are you seeing him, Nagisa-jyou?"

Nagisa blushed even more.

WHATTTTTT???!!!!!

"You're not dating each other, are you?" Nokoru asked more.

This time, it was Idomu's face turned in different kinds of colours.

"But I thought you love Suoh. Idomu, are you behind all this? Are planning to take revenge on Suoh by doing this?" Nokoru felt scared with his own thinking.

"No!" she suddenly cried, "it's not his fault. It's all my fault. We broke up. Suoh-san dumped me."

WHATTTTTT???!!!!!

Nokoru had lost count how many times he had to cover his mouth to hide his shock. Suoh and Nagisa broke up???!!! But why? When? How? He dumped her? His wisteria fairy? He was really at a loss of word.

"Do you know why Suoh did it?" he carefully asked the sobbing girl.

She shook her head. "We broke up three months ago. I can't stand of him anymore. He always puts an angry face, rarely talks to me and is easily to get offended. I have no idea what makes him change. But it's okay. I found a better man and more suitable for me. Someone who understands music and share the same passion as well." She smiled sweetly to Idomu who returned her smile and pat her shoulders.

"Sorry not to let you know about this, Nokoru-san. But anyway, even without us telling you, you found out yourself right? You're really the best detective every in this whole CLAMP School." Idomu smiled to him.

After listening to it, Nokoru felt his urge in finding Suoh vanish into the thin air. He sat there weakly without saying any word, obviously felt shocked with all the events he had gone through today.

In just one day, he found out that his best friend was the famous most-wanted thief, another had a crush on him and couldn't forget him, and now…. His very, very, very best friend broke up with his girlfriend months ago and went out with his other best friend, yet he didn't know anything about it. He though enough fact he got for just in one day.

"Nagisa-jyou, does Suoh know you're going out with him?"

Nagisa smiled and nodded. "Yes, he did. But we keep it as a secret. He said that would be embarrassed if everyone knows we're not a couple anymore, and I'm going out with his biggest rival. But…" Nagisa paused, seemed to consider whether to tell the next to Nokoru.

"But?" Nokoru asked curiously.

"Well, I think that's only his reason. The real reason is perhaps he doesn't want to make you feel sad."

"Why would I?" Nokoru was confused.

"Because it was you the one who put a lot of effort in bringing us together long time ago. He doesn't want you to feel disappointed, I think." Nagisa smiled.

Nagisa's answer was ringing all along in his head on the way back to his mansion. He forgot he had to find Suoh to get his papers back. He forgot he was mad at him for playing the stupid prank. He stepped down from his limousine and opened the grand entrance door to his home. Usually, it would be quiet and no one around at this time. Only a butler who would greet him, took his coat and bag, and offered whether he wanted to have dinner right away in his bedroom or in the dining room. But this time, his eyes caught something out of place. Someone who shouldn't be there. Not now at else. Suoh.

Suoh?

"Suoh? But how-"

Before Nokoru finished his words, Suoh stepped closer to him, got his bag and coat away and placed them on the closet.

"Been busy looking for me?" Suoh smirked, a winning feeling could be sensed from his voice.

Suoh hoped the blonde would be mad at him, yelling and whining about how hard to search for him, but unexpectedly, Nokoru just remained silent. He didn't even move from the place he's standing.

"Why? What happened?" Suoh began to worry. It was unusual for Nokoru to act like that.

Nokoru closed his eyes and shook his head. "Nothing." He paused. He then looked at the blue-hared man intensely, expecting Suoh to pay full attention to him. "Suoh…" he called him.

"Yes?"

"I know."

Suoh was stunned. Both of them fell into a silence, staring each other. "You know?"

"I know."

Suoh closed his eyes. "I know you'll know it sooner later. It's just I'm afraid you'll change after you know it."

Nokoru was still silent. He began to worry that the thing he knew wasn't the same as Suoh thought he knew. But before he asked the next question, Suoh rapidly moved towards him, and KISSED him.

WHATTTTTT???!!!!!

"I love you." Suoh whispered to the ears of the blonde.

//Oh-my-god!!//

If he didn't have a strong heart, Nokoru believed he had died of heart attack by this time. This time, he surely couldn't sleep at night at all. He had to deal with the shocking fact that Suoh wanted to spend the rest of his life with him, and he didn't want to tell where he hid the papers, unless he agreed to meet Suoh's mother (to talk about their relationship).

The End (for this chapter – perhaps)
