Syusuke whistled innocently as he sauntered into the house, before heading for the kitchens. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief that they weren't going to deal with a sadistic Tensai today.

For all the staff were well acquainted with Master Syusuke's sadistic side as many of the staff had served his parents, especially his mother who is more sadistic than Master Syusuke. Everyone from the butler to the love stricken maids had learnt to run for cover when Master Syusuke smiled sadistically or whistled innocently, especially if he was doing both.

"I'm glad I'm not working in the kitchens today" one of the serving men was heard to comment to his friend as they watched their young master, wander into the kitchen, with a very sadistic aura surrounding him.

Syusuke ignored all the people, running past him to hide, when they saw him stand at the entrance to the kitchen. He just looked for the only person in the house that knew everything that when on in the neighbourhood-Cook.

There she is. He though happy as he caught sight of the familiar apron. Finally I will find out why Sakuno has been hiding behind her façade.

"Cook" he murmured triumphantly, entering her domain, as he strolled towards her work bench.

Syusuke smiled charmingly at the old woman, instantly putting her on her guard. You didn't spend nearly forty years in the Fuji household without learning a few things, such as beware the Fuji that smiled charmingly at you, they either broke something or they want something.

Cook starred at the predator look in her master's eyes. Hmmm, he must want something from me. She grinned knowing exactly how hard it is for a Fuji to ask for help. This ought to be fun.

Syusuke spoke, wary of the amusement in the old lady's eyes. "Cook, while taking photo's for the photography competition that I entered and I ran into this girl dancing in the park. I was wondering if you knew where she lived as I would like her to model for me." Here he held up his camera. "Her name is Ryuuzuki Sakuno." He smiled deviously before adding "I would also like to return her belonging to her. She left them in the park today."

Cook eyed his smile before thinking for the second time today how much like his father he was. His father had also hidden his interest in Mistress Michiko as if he didn't care whether she dated him or not. Hmmm this should be entertaining she thought, thinking about the person he was looking for.

Cook chuckled, imaging the chaos the Atobe daughter would be her young master through.

Syusuke stood there confused; holding Sakuno's shawl, purse and camera, as Cook suddenly started chuckling to herself. He waited while she got a hold on herself before asking "Do you know where she lives?"

Cook caught her breath before replying "Yes. She often visits to talk or to exchange recipes, when she is visiting the Atobe Estate. That girl certainly enjoys cooking with the amount of recipes she has collected from the cooks in this neighbourhood…"

Syusuke stood there stunned, letting cook's voice wash over him. I never realise that Atobe and Sakuno knew each other. They certainly don't act as if they have ever met or are friends.

Cook just smirked at the confused look on the young heir's face. He certainly is just like his father. She thought recognising the frown Fuji wore on his handsome face; Just like master Daisuke, he was confused about his feelings for Miss Michiko as well. This is going to be interesting. The hidden Atobe daughter and the sadistic Fuji son, oooh this is just like a soap opera, and i get a first class set to the action.

Syusuke just ignored the pleased grin on Cook's face as he tried to discover why he feels like his chest is being crushed at the thought of Sakuno dating Atobe. Hmm I guess its time to return her belongings. He smirked.

"Anyway you are in luck young Master Keigo didn't escort Miss Sakuno, this time" Cook added while smirking inwardly at the blank, show no emotion mask on her young master's face, telling her he is certainly hiding his reaction to the thought of Atobe dating Sakuno. So he does feel something for her then. I wonder does he even know what he feels.

Syusuke visibly relaxed hearing that Atobe Keigo wasn't there alone with Sakuno. "Atobe estate?" Fuji said "Thanks for telling me. I'm going out. I will be back for lunch" he said handing his camera to the butler. "Ito,Can you please put my camera in my room? Thanks."

Syusuke walked outside, following the gravel pathway that lead through the national park to the Atobe Estate, still carrying Sakuno's shawl, purse and camera.

"Oh yes" he said to himself "It's time to discover what you have been hiding and why you've been hiding it. Ryuuzuki Sakuno prepare yourself I intend on discovering everything about you.

Syusuke entered the Atobe estate and walked up the gravel driveway towards the front door. "Sakuno-Chan I wonder if Echizen knows that you're not as clumsy or as shy as you seem" he questioned before reaching out a slender finger to ring the doorbell. DING DONG

The door slowly opened…

Gomen, I just had to have another cliffhanger, just to build the suspense. Please review .
