-8- Chapter Two: His Presence -8-

Why am I feeling like this?! Just by looking at him…

---

"Master, where did you go? We've been searching for you."

When Atobe opened the front door, a terrible and worried faces of his maids welcomed him.

"Didn't Kabaji tell you?" Atobe said with a bored tone and irritated face. He felt tired. He just felt tired right now.

"Kabaji's still not here." The Butler said, still with his worried face.

"Ahh…" He smirked. So he went to the dinner for two thingy.

In all honesty… he doesn't care at all.

Ah, he was tired.

"How's the scenary?" Mukahi said, teasing Atobe. It was lunch time and of course, they were at the court.

"It's fun." Atobe smirked. "Right, Kabaji?" He looked at kabaji. Kabaji went home at ten in the evening. He didn't ask him for what happened between him and his ­ex-girlfriend. He doesn't care at all.

"Yes." Kabaji answered.

"What happened last night?" Oshitari asked, looked at Kabaji and Atobe suspiciously.

"I had fun." Atobe answered proudly. "What about you Kabaji?"

Kabaji bowed his head and stayed quiet.

"Hmmm…" Mukahi said. "Did something happen?"

"I broke up with her this morning." Atobe informed them. "Now she's regretting it."

MEANWHILE… Let's take a look at our OC…:p

---

"WHAT?! NO WAY!" Michi exclaimed. Her eyes widened and her blood came towards her face. She was pissed. She can't understand these people were telling her.

Her mother said that she was an adopted child. Yes, she found that out yesterday. And she already accepted that. But what's so shocking right now was that… she has a twin that was in the hospital right now and has some illness and she was in coma and… and her real father here was saying that she will take place of her twin's position. Meaning, she will act as her twin.

And she doesn't want that. Why would she?!

"No one knows that we have twins." Her real father explained. With his General-type look, he can order people even if they don't want to. "That's the only way for me to accept you."

She was shocked. She looked at him accusingly and with disgust on her face. "I didn't say you have to accept me as your daughter. Who would want to?" She said sarcastically. "You went here first. I was living happily with my family right now – peacefully."

"Michi…" Her mother said, with a threat in her voice. "We can't support you studies anymore. You know that. So you have to – "

"Then, I'll just stop –"

"You can't." Her mother answered quickly.

"ARGGH!" She felt she will need to go to a mental hospital. She felt crazy. Okay, she was rich – her real father was rich. And she can continue her studies if she will just accept him. But… if she will accept him, then she should accept his condition – to act like her twin sister. "I hate you!" She said to her real father. "I hate all of you!" She went out running towards nowhere – just to be away from this crazy situation she was into.

"Ha…Ha…" She pants with exhaustion. She has been running for an hour now.

She looked around. She was somewhere like a park.

She sighed... At times like this… I need a friend… And Michi, a friend for her is a person whom she can stress her anger on.

Then she felt her stomach growled.

Great! I'm hungry again! She was eating earlier when her real father went to their house. Now, all the food she had eaten just went to waste. She was hungry again. Yes, that's her. She always gets hungry whenever she uses her energy – which she always uses every time – so she was always hungry. She has a big place for food in her stomach. But she doesn't get fat whatever how many she ate.

She looked for something inside her pocket. She was praying for miracles to happen – that she still has money for her hunger right now. She doesn't want to go home yet.

She's not close to God so no miracle happened. She only found a small piece of paper.

"What a waste!" She sighed and looked at the paper sadly. Then, her eyes grew wide with excitement when she remembered something. "AHA!"

But then, her face went back to sad one when she realized she doesn't have any mobile phone.

"Hyo…tei…Ga..ku-en. Hmmm…" She decided to just go to his school.

"You're going to take a bus again?!" His co-regulars were shocked when he said he was going to take the public bus again.

"What's wrong?" He asked, confused. What so wrong with that? It was fun. He had fun last night. He was just wondering if he could meet the girl again. He didn't even know her name. He forgot to ask!

"Whoa… what a babe." Ryo whistled when he saw a cute, sexy teenage girl standing in the gate of Hyotei Academy.

"Ah!" Atobe was surprised when he saw the girl he was been waiting to call him all night last night (and even this morning!). "She's here!" He said excitedly and dashed towards the gate – totally forgot about his teammates.

"Eh? He knew the girl?" Chotaru asked innocently.

"Hmm…"

"Who's she? She's beautiful!" Mukahi asked excitedly.

---

Atobe composed himself and coolly walked slowly, taking his time towards the girl when he reached the gate. "Oh, Ore-sama was surprised to see you here."

Michi turned her head to her. She smiled widely just as she saw him.

"Ore-sama! I'm here to see you again!" She said, still smiling.

"Really?" He asked, keeping his proud and cocky smile to his self. "Why?"

"As much as I want to call you, I can't because I don't have any mobile phone. That's why I just decided to go here." She explained. "Can we eat pizza?" She said with her puppiest eyes ever.

"Ah, oh sure, sure." Atobe said.

"Ne, captain." Mukahi interrupted – he was with everyone.

"Why don't you introduce us to your new… friend?" Hiyoshi said, looking at him suspiciously.

"Ah…" Atobe paused. Great. He doesn't know what this girl's name is!

"Hello! I'm Michi! Ore-sama's friend. Nice meeting you!" Michi bowed at each of them and smiled widely. She was really friendly – that's their first impression aside from her being pretty and sexy.

Before everyone went to commotion in front of him, Atobe grabbed Michi's wrist and said, "We have to go now. See you tomorrow." He said before they left.

"Eh?"

"Where will they go?"

"Is she his new girlfriend?"

"Man, she's cool!"

"Yeah. That Atobe!"

"Here," Atobe gave her a slice of pizza – her all time favorite food. At times of depression, she always wanted to eat pizza. That's her medicine.

"Thank you! You're really a nice guy." She said, praising her with all means. In her eyes, Atobe's a really fine young man because he always treats her. She was thankful that she met him. Really… because if not, she won't be here in this pizza restaurant and eating delicious pizzas in front of her. If it just her, she can't afford this. Good thing, Atobe's here.

Atobe looked at her dearly. He was enjoying looking at her while she was eating. She was funny. He was satisfied by just looking at her.

Then, his eyes crossed the door of the restaurant. He saw Tezuka entered.

"Ah?" He immediately straightened. What a surprise, Tezuka's here.

He followed Tezuka's every move.

"What is he doing here?" He asked to himself but he just said it out loud.

"Hm?" Michi's attention went to him. "What? Who?" She asked, confused. Then she looked at who he was looking at.

"It's Kunimitsu Tezuka, the Seigaku's Captain. He's nothing important, really." He said in as-a-matter-of-fact way like Tezuka was really nothing important. Well Tezuka was nothing important for him, really. He was just his rival.

"T-Tezuka…" Michi, just as she looked at the guy Atobe's pertaining to, felt terrified. Her heart began beating abnormally faster without her knowing the reason why. She felt frightened for the first time.

Why am I feeling like this?! Just by looking at him… Her heart never stopped hammering loudly from her chest. She was even sweat dropped. She couldn't concentrate. Why…

"Are you okay?" Atobe noticed her. He was shocked when he saw her shaking. "Hey…" His eyes showed worries.

"W-who…is…h-he…?" She asked, still shaking. She placed her hands on her chest – on her heart to stop it from beating so fast.

But she couldn't stop it. Why she felt like this?

"Hn? Tezuka? He was my rival in tennis. He is the captain of Seigaku. There's nothing interesting about him. Why'd you asked?"

She was now catching her breaths. She was getting more and more terrified. Her heart was still feeling that guy's presence. She just looked at him. Why she was feeling like this now?

Seigaku… It sounds familiar… Damnit why am I feeling like this!?

She couldn't take it anymore. She stood up.

Atobe froze as he gazed at her. He was confused by the way she was acting.

"Let's get out of here!" She said as she run off out of that place.

"Oi!"

Atobe followed her after he paid the bill. She was standing in the corner and still catching her breaths.

"Hey, what's wrong?" He asked. He was really confused now. She's acting really weird.

He analyzed what had happened.

He was looking to her while she was eating.

Then Tezuka came in to the restaurant.

And when she looked at Tezuka, she started acting weird.

AH! Maybe she was captivated by Tezuka…? He asked himself disappointedly. He won't accept that. BUT WHY IS SHE ACTING LIKE THIS?!

After a few more minutes, she was okay. She was calmed down.

"What wrong with me?! Argghh!!! Who's that guy?! He gave me a strange feeling!" Michi said, after refreshed. She really wanted to know who that guy was. This was the first time she felt like this. This was a serious problem for her.

"As I told you – " Atobe said, sighing with disbelief that this girl actually taken by Tezuka's look. He was even more attractive than Tezuka!

"Seigaku… You said he was studying there?"

"Yes." He answered blandly.

That's where my twin sister was studying.

".ME." She said, not wanting to say those crazy words she had said just seconds ago.

"Then, let's have your make over." Her father said, letting out a small smile on his face.

Finally, she was decided to accept his deal. She will start living with her real family and she will start acting as her twin sister. She will do what her twin sister was doing before. She will take her twin sister's place.

Tezuka… we will meet soon. She clenched her teeth. Let's see why I felt like that. In any case, she doesn't want to happen what happened on the restaurant days ago again. She will find out why she felt like that. Tezuka's presence had been pestering her since then.

So she had decided.

"She's already a teenage girl and she still has a NANNY!? MY GAWD!" Michi cried in disbelief. She was just introduced by all of the people in her father's mansion. Now, she was in her room – debating with her so-called yaya.

"What's so wrong with that?" Gina, her twin sister's nanny asked, twitching her eyes.

"I DON'T NEED ONE." She said, turning around, throwing herself on the soft, large bed.

"You do." Gina said back. "Whether you liked it or not, you will cooperate with me. Because I'm the one who knows about Aya-sama! You will need me."

Michi didn't mind that. She had fallen fast asleep.

"WHY DO I NEED TO WEAR EYEGLASSES?! ARGH!" Michi complained while looking at the specs Gina was holding. This is the first day of her come back to school. She should not waste her energy early in the morning. BUT really… she couldn't take it anymore.

Well, first Gina braided her hair, she said everything about her twin sister's personality, her twin sister's likes and dislikes, everything. She accepted everything. Even if she found it crazy. She just realized how weird, dull and nerd her twin sister was. Now she was asked to wear eyeglasses, too!

"Because Aya-sama wears that every time. She always hides her beauty. You should do that, too." Gina explained, breathing heavily so that she can take all of her whines.

"Damnit, she's really nerd!" Michi said as she puts on the eyeglasses.

---

"Are you really ready?" Gina asked her, they just got off the car. They were now standing at the Seigaku's gate.

"Yeah." Michi answered sourly.

"Remember everything that I told you, okay?" Gina said again. "Be ALWAYS EXTRA CAREFUL."

"Yeah, I know, I know." Michi rolled her eyes. Gina has been telling her to be careful for hundred times now.

"You know but you don't take it seriously." Gina looked at her disappointedly. "Anyway, you will find out soon why I said that."

"Hm? Why?" She got pretty interested all of the sudden.

"You'll find out yourself."

"You're not funny at all."
