Kari turned her head towards the side of the hall making sure no one was in sight. She believed she was clear and walked into the hallway.

"What are you up to?" said a voice and Kari jumped.

"Oh Sora…you scared me." Kari said in relief.

"Well are you going to tell me what you're up to or not?" she asked teasingly.

"Fine but don't tell anyone. I'm sneaking into the maid rooms and finding one of their uniforms. Then um going to put on this black wig I had from a Halloween years ago and sneak out of the house to see Tk." She said proud by her plan.

"You think your parents are going to let a maid out of the house?"

"I'm going to sneak out of course. I have to do this; Tk is so upset by me going and getting married on him." Kari said upset.

"Kari I know you don't want to hear this but you and Tk come from different worlds this isn't going to be easy and your parents will never approve." Sora told her sadly.

"I don't care Sora! He means a lot to me!" Kari argued back.

Sora looked at her caringly. "You really like him don't you?"

"Yes." Kari told her.

"Okay, I'll help you out." Sora said anxiously.

"What?" Kari asked with growing excitement.

"We'll your parents are going to worry if they notice your missing. We're about the same size now since you've gotten so much taller. I'll stick in your room for the day and if your parents try to come in I'll pretend I'm sleeping because I'm angry with them over the wedding. I'll cover my head mostly with the sheets so they won't know." Sora suggested sighing.

Kari jumped up and hugged Sora. "Sora, you're the best sister in law I'd ever had!" she squealed.

"Wait I better be the only one you've ever had!"

"You are, you are now I got to sneak and get the uniform you wait for me in my room."

"Okay Kar."

Kari continued into one of the maids rooms. Luckily each maid had several uniforms so they didn't have to wash the same one everyday. Kari quickly grabbed one of the uniforms and stuffed it into a bag. She walked out of the room and rushed down the hallway.

She walked towards her room and was stopped by, oh great, her father. "Hikari, where are you going…and what's in that bag."

Kari could feel the sweat dropping from her forehead. "Um it has some wedding things in it. I didn't want anyone to see you know the surprise and all."

Her father smiled. "Good I'm glad you're finally accepting this wedding. You know Jason is a fine boy."

"Oh, I'm not accepting it. I'm still furious. I just decided that I want to look my best on the worst day of my life anyway." She said putting on an annoyed face.

"We'll why would you want to do that?"

"So some boy in the crowd can steal me away and I won't have to marry the idiot you set me up with."

"HIKARI, HOW DARE YOU SPEAK TO ME LIKE THAT!" he hollered at her.

"Sorry, I'm taking a nap I'm not in the greatest mood." She said walking into her room and slamming the door.

"Did it work?" Sora asked curiously.

"Yup, they think I'll be sleeping the day away. You're on." She told her putting on the maid's uniform and the black wig.

"Wow, you really do look like a whole different person, but wait let's top it off." Sora said grabbing a pair of glasses and putting them on her.

"Where did you get these?"

"I have trouble reading but here I'll take the lenses out so they don't affect your eyesight."

"Thank you so much Sora I couldn't have done this without you." Kari gave her another hug before leaving. "Wish me luck."

"Good luck, oh and Kari."

Kari turned. "Yeah?"

"Believe in yourself, I have a feeling Tk likes you the way you are, you're not a snobby rich girl, don't forget that."

"Thanks Sora."

Kari walked down the stairs and near the front door. She heard her parents speaking in the other room and stopped to listen.

"She'll come around, she has to understand how this marriage will profit your business." Her mother said to her father.

"Right, we're doing this because we have to. Besides I'm sure she'll realize he's an amazing guy once they go through with the whole ordeal." Her father agreed.

"Of course, sweetie we are not bad parents and we need to stop worrying about this. We are doing what's best for her. She was noticing other boys and we are just making sure she ends up with one that can support her." Her mother said.

Kari turned her head and headed for the door again. She felt some sadness in her, she often doubted her parents love for her because of their high class and all about society matters attitude but it seemed that when it came down to it they really did love her.

The door opened before her and unfortunately it wasn't someone she wanted to see. Jason walked through acting like he was king of the world.

"Peasant where's Hikari?" he asked rudely.

Kari was annoyed immediately. Her parent's may have thought they were doing her well but they really weren't, Jason was a flat out rude kid. "Sorry, I don't know."

"What kind of servant are you? You can't even keep track of your masters." He walked passing her shoving her shoulder.

Kari wanted to slap him across the face but she was disguised as a maid and knew that that would draw attention that she did not want to have.

She ignored the boy who marched into her home like he owned the place and left through the door. She was out. This may be her only chance to see Tk again, because she was pretty sure he didn't want to see her.

The outside world was bright and she had never felt so free in her life. She raced down the street and started walking towards town. She actually had no idea where Tk lived and hadn't thought much of this plan through. She didn't care though all that mattered was that she did find him.

It took her an hour and a half but she did eventually making it to down town. She had never walked so much in her life. She had always taken transportation but she didn't care she kept her strength up with her motivation of seeing Tk.

It was late afternoon and Kari walked down the streets. She saw all these normal people walking in and out of stores with their friends or families. She felt jealous of the women walking down the streets with their children. They were women yet they were free. She was locked up in her home everyday while these people had the chance to live, really live.

She walked over to a young girl with purple hair. "Excuse me?" she said politely.

The girl looked up at her. "Hello may I help you?"

"Yes actually I'm looking for someone; do you know where a boy named Takeru Takaishi lives?"

The purple hair girl smiled. "I'm sorry I don't. The name sounds familiar but I don't know where he lives."

"Thank you anyway." Kari said smiling and walking away.

Her smiled faded as soon as she left the young girl. It was getting to be late and the streets were starting to empty. Kari decided to head towards the country side. Tk worked outside so she hoped that he would maybe be near there.

She walked for what felt like ever down the country road. The sky was dark and it was beginning to rain. Not used to the rain she could feel a cold coming on. She started coughing and feeling her nose begin to stuff up.

The rain came down harder and Kari was feeling tired and weak. She was having trouble seeing in the dark.

"Hahaha." She heard from behind and saw some boy waking towards her. Figuring they would just pass she tried to ignore it but she was wrong.

"Hey sweetie what you doing out here all alone?" said one of the boys.

"Yeah why don't you let us take care of you?" another responded.

They walked towards her and Kari felt the fear rise in her. "Please just leave me alone." She asked but they snickered and walked towards her. "Please, I really need to go…"

Kari started but the boys wouldn't stop. One grabbed her arm and Kari screamed. "Let go of me."

"UGH!" screamed one of the boys and he felt flat to the ground. The other two back away to see a blonde messy haired boy standing over them with a metal rake in his hand.

"Let's get at of here!" the second guy shouted and they grabbed their friend and raced to get out of sight.

Tk looked at Kari concerned. "Kari what are you doing here?" he yelled over the rain.

"How did you know it was me?" she asked in shock.

Tk just shock his head and smiled. "I could recognize you in a mascot suit." He took her in his arms and she wrapped her arms around his neck. "I'll take you to where me and Matt live to warm you up. You can sit by the fire…" she coughed. "Cause it looks like your getting sick."

"Okay" she whispered resting her head on his shoulder.

"And Kari…"

"Yeah"

"Black hair doesn't go well with you."

She smiled at him and giggled.
