I looked at Natsume with a smile. He finally made our relationship public; although I'm not really sure if it's good or bad cause by making it public means that I would be hated by Natsume's fan girls. Half of Japan's population is his fans, and the other half is mine. The cameras' flashes never stopped blinking, and the questions were never stopped asking.

"Miss Sakura, are you happy that The Natsume Hyuuga is your boyfriend? Although it was to be expected as both of you are the most popular people in Japan, but still, how do you feel about it?" Yumiko asked me.

I gave her a fake smile and replied, "Well, all I can say is that I'm really glad that Natsume managed to move on after his break up and that I'm his new love. I really hope that we can be together till the end and we stay true to each other. It doesn't really matter to me that he's the hot shot in Japan cause I love him for who he is and I suppose he harbors the same feelings as well. Right, Natsume?"

Some of the reporters took down every word I said and some were recording it. Natsume put his hand around my waist and gave me a light kiss on the cheek, "How sweet…" the crowd said. I blushed slightly and Natsume squeezed our way through the paparazzi to my car. He put me into the passenger's seat before going to the driver's. I argued with him, saying that I wanted to drive instead, but he covered my mouth with his hand and told me to shut up. We arrived at the meeting place not long after and we saw Hotaru and Ruka already seated at the table I reserved.

"Hi Hotaru! Ruka too!" I greeted.

Hotaru nodded her head and Ruka replied me with a welcoming tone. Natsume who was behind the whole time went to his seat opposite Ruka and sat down. I went to my seat as well and called the waitress to take down our orders. Minutes later, our food was served.

"So..." Hotaru started, "what's the catch?"

Ruka eyed the both of us intensely, waiting for an answer coming from me. "Well… erm… Me and Natsume are sorta like together now…?"

"That's it?" she asked.

I nodded. Natsume remained expressionless while Ruka looked a little too happy. "What's wrong, Ruka?"

With his innocent smile still on, he replied nothing. Hotaru acted as if nothing happened and continued eating her food. Natsume got up to use the washroom and left his napkin on his chair. I could see a bunch of his fans going crazy at the corner, supposedly trying to get his used napkin. But seeing that we were there, they didn't dare do anything. Ruka followed Natsume into the washroom as well.

In the washroom:

"Natsume… are you serious about Miss Sakura? You're not using her to get Luna back right?" Ruka asked worriedly.

Natsume dried his hands using the paper towel and answered, "If I did, I wouldn't knock her up."

Ruka's facial expression changed to a shock one. "You fucked her?!"

Remaining calm and trying to keep his cool, Natsume replied him, "No, we made love. Fucking and sexing is only used when no love is involved. Stop worrying Ruka, I love her, genuinely."

Ruka couldn't help but worry right? Natsume had just broken up with Luna Koizumi, that millionaire daughter. How is he able to get over her so quickly? But then again, Miss Sakura is indeed a very special person. She had that glow nobody has, even his own girlfriend Hotaru. Perhaps Miss Sakura might be 'The One' that Natsume has been looking for, the right one this time. Well, all he can do is to support and pray that nobody would come and ruin their relationship. Not even Luna Koizumi.

The two of them headed out and returned to their seats, continuing their meal. It seems that Hotaru had already finished eating by the time they came out. "Took you two long enough." She grumbled.

I smiled at her and said, "Don't be grumpy, Hotaru. You'll get wrinkles. Do you wanna drink anything?"

Hotaru let out a sigh before saying, "Get me some grape soda then. No ice."

I nodded and called the waitress here again. Her eyes never left the two handsome guys beside me, feeling a little pissed off; I faked a cough to get her attention. "Oh I'm sorry… may I repeat your order? One grape soda and an orange soda. What about the two guys?"

Natsume ordered cappuccino while Ruka had the same as Hotaru. How sweet.

We left the place after we finished our drinks and I suggested that perhaps we should head downtown and do some shopping for Hotaru's new design inspiration. The media has been complaining recently about Hotaru's hiatus and people are starting to wonder if she can't design at all. Sheesh! Do they even know what is called professional? If Hotaru can't design, how the heck did she manage to clinch the Best Designer Award?

Nevertheless, we drove to downtown and went to one of the highest classed shopping centre. Tom Ford, Christian Louboutin, D&G, Burberry, McQueen… etc. all you can name of. The people there recognized us immediately and went to serve us the moment we stepped our foot into any shop. Ahh… It feels good to be rich. Sure, there were salesgirls going gaga over Natsume and Ruka, and there were men who went crazy when they saw us. But yeah, you know the guys. They went to our side and wrapped their hands around our waist, as if holding a signboard saying "My property". Oh, it's good to be loved.

Hotaru took down a few notes here and there, and then drafted her design on her ever so close companion, her laptop. "It's good to see you starting your work again, Hotaru." I said to her.

"It's not that I'm not doing anything, the problem is that the pesticides out there never understand art. All they care is gossip. How pathetic."

God, her tongue is sharp. But that's what so special about her. You can never find the heart to hate her for what she tells you cause it somehow makes sense, even if it's a hurtful comment.

It was about 4 pm when we decided to leave the place. Though tired due to the intense shopping, I never stopped blabbering about how much I love Hotaru's design and how I wished that she would design one for me someday. Ruka wasn't even paying attention to what I was saying as we entered the car park. Natsume unlocked my car and we waved goodbye to the other couple.

"Didn't expect them to get together so fast." Hotaru murmured to Ruka.

He nodded in agreement and said, "I know, I guess my plan wasn't needed at all."

"What plan?"

"Nothing, I'm just real glad that Natsume found Miss Sakura."

"That idiot may be the cause of everything that's gonna happen in the future. The Koizumi's are going to be on the act soon." Hotaru continued as she entered the car.

"How'd you know?" Ruka asked as he accelerated.

Hotaru gave a grin, and then replied, "You know they say that your girlfriend has the best resources right?"

Ruka sweat dropped and drove Hotaru back to her house, keeping silent throughout the entire journey. Meanwhile…

In Mikan's mansion:

"Welcome back Miss Mikan and Mr. Hyuuga." Yukimi greeted us the moment we stepped in. I handed her my shopping bags and told her to dump everything in the closet as I would clear it up later. Natsume went into my kitchen and rummaged through my fridge. "Stop searching my fridge already! What do you want?"

He turned to looked at me and said, "Well, I was looking for something to drink, but then realized that all you have is milk and collagen."

I rolled my eyes and him and answered, "If I have coke and sprite, I would turn fat."

"Oh, girls and their diet. Where did you red wine go?" he asked.

I went to the bar counter and opened the wine cabinet, "There's a thing in the world called the wine cabinet where you store the wine. Apparently, the red wine was used up when you came here the last time."

"Oh…" he said, "the time where we were so immersed in ea-"

"Shut up!" I hissed.

Natsume let out a laugh and hugged me from the back. "I was just kidding, Polka-dots."

"I'm not wearing polka-dots today, pervert. And besides, just because your concert is postponed to September doesn't mean that you don't have any upcoming projects. Mr. Lin sms-ed me a few hours ago saying that we have a photo shoot to do next week."

He released his hug and got himself a cup of plain water. Leaning on the kitchen table, he said, "I guess it's because we are now a public item, that's why."

"Wanna hear the bad news?" I questioned him. He nodded his head in reply. "Luna Koizumi would be there for a different shoot as well."

There was silence between the both of us. Natsume was the first one to speak, "What? Didn't she went crazy and stopped appearing in front of the media?"

I heaved a sigh and replied, "She probably trying to make a comeback. Perhaps it is to get back at you for dumping her? I don't know. Make a wild guess."

I saw Natsume's facial expression changed for a moment. Was it because he was afraid that Luna would harm me? Or was he afraid that she might get back at him? I didn't want to think about the worst. All I know is that I have Natsume and that he would protect me, he promised. I walked up to Natsume and put my hands on his shoulders. "It's just a shoot. Just do your best and try to avoid her as much as you can. If it comes to the case whereby she really finds you, I'll get my bodyguards."

He kissed my forehead and said thank you. I felt really guilty. If I hadn't told him that Luna would be in the same studio as us, perhaps he would feel this way. But then again, if I didn't tell him, wouldn't it be worst when he sees her next week?

Natsume dragged me to my living room and sat on the couch. I leaned by head against his chest and we fell asleep just like that.

In Ruka's house:

The handsome blond took off his French Connection watch and put it on his bedside table. Walking up to his personal notice board, he tore down the note-to-self he made last time about getting Natsume and Miss Sakura together. He smiled to himself and threw the paper into the bin next to the desk. "I guess I wasn't need," he told himself as he went up to his bed and covered the blanket around his body, "some things are better when nature works its own way out."

Ruka thought about what Natsume told him in the washroom today, Natsume made love with Miss Sakura. "One day, Hotaru, you're gonna be the one that's gonna end up naked on my bed."

With that self-assurance, he went into a peaceful sleep.

The next morning:

As always, the Sakura mansion would be flooded with people in the morning whenever The Natsume Hyuuga didn't leave the house. It was to be expected, online's No.1 and No.2 searches were not titles for nothing.

It wasn't difficult to spot the familiar ones. Natsume and I could already remember their physical features. A few new faces here and there, and of course, the prominent Yumiko Arai.

I pulled Natsume out of the house and dragged him to my car. The both of us had no plans for today, we decided to slack and take a stroll around the park near his home. As we were having our lovely time, Natsume stopped in his tracks.

"Aoi?"

There, in front of us, stood a beautiful young lady in her early 20s, probably around 3-4 months pregnant. Next to her was a handsome guy with slightly dark grey hair. His hand was around her now figureless waist and his other hand was holding on to what I assumed her bag.

"Natsume?" the girl asked in return.

The guy next to her went up to Natsume and gently slapped his shoulder, "Yo, Natsume."

"Hi Youichi, hi Aoi." He greeted. I nodded my head in acknowledge to their presence. I didn't know them. But I guessed that they were Aoi and Youichi from what Natsume said just now. So what? His sister got pregnant? Wow.

Natsume stared at his sister for a moment, he scanned her body up and down. "You're pregnant." He blurted out.

"Yup! Or else what? Do I look I just gained 5kg after 5 months? No, I'm pregnant with Youichi's child."

I backed myself away a little. Natsume had this ominous aura around him.

"Why didn't you tell me the good news, Aoi?" Natsume asked with a smile.

I almost choked.
