THE RIKKAIDAI ASSISTANT GIRL

How are you minna? We reached the Chapter Ten! Bet you guys surprised on Atobe's action, right? Bwaahahaha…

About the vote, aww come on guys, fill me in… I need lots of vote to enlighten me!

PART TEN

Atobe hold his right cheek, it had Hikaru's hand print. Hikaru stared at him wide eyed, hand still in the air, lips swollen, and her whole body trembled. Everyone was too shock to say anything. Cold wind blew past.

"WHY YOU!!!! ", it was Sanada who came to his senses first and now was holding Atobe's collar ready to hit him.

"Stop Gen! ", Hikaru restrained him spontaneously. "Guys don't… ", she pleaded, aware that Kirihara and the others looked ready to kill him on the spot. The other students were still gawking, totally stunned by Atobe's previous action. Hikaru stared at him, tears were forming in her eyes.

"How could you Keigo… ", she said, pointing a shaky finger to him. "You just don't go and kissing people all you want…. I HATE YOU!!!! ", she screamed before storming off, leaving a trail of dust before disappearing to God-knows-where.

Meanwhile Atobe was taken aback; finally he COMES to his senses too. What? Did he just kiss Hikaru? He looked around in horror. And in front of so many people! He wasn't thinking properly when he did that. He just thought that he wanted to teach her a lesson for abandoning his wish like that. In an impulse, he kissed her! What drove him from doing that?!

"So Atobe, do you have a death wish? ". Very fierce and scary looking Rikkai regulars made their way to Atobe while playing with their knuckles.

Hikaru ran as fast as her feet could take her. She was crying heavily now. Suddenly a car, well, a limo pulled up in front of her, revealing a concerned Akita. He was waiting for Hikaru and Kirihara-san to get to the Hospital when he saw Hikaru running from her school.

"Miss Hikaru… ", he called. Hikaru didn't say a word, she climbed into the limo, muttering about going home ASAP and cried again. She was so shocked, angry and humiliated at the same time. How could Keigo did THAT to her… In front of the regulars… and practically the whole school! When they reached her apartment, Hikaru ran up to her room and locked herself inside. She totally forgot her appointment with Yukimura, and of course nobody telling her about that.

"What? Oh My… Okay, calm down Akaya… just give the phone to Sanada ok? ", Yukimura was listening the rather violent rambling of Kirihara about today's event. He was waiting for them to come after school, he even made his parents to wait Hikaru and Kirihara to come, but after waiting for about an hour, they never came. So he decided to call Hikaru's cell, surprisingly no answer. Then he called Kirihara's cell and his favorite kohai broke the news about what had happened to Hikaru. Kirihara and the regulars were now at the Principal's office after nearly killed Atobe, well Thank God there were some teachers came when they were in the move to strangle him to death. All in all, Atobe was sent home after some speeches and the regulars were still at the office receiving another speech from their Principal.

"Sanada? You know where Hikaru went to? No idea… I see… And you guys, did you get into trouble? No? That's good; we wouldn't want detention before the Nationals… Okay, you'll stay there and resume the practice; I'll try to locate Hikaru… I'll call you as soon as I get her… Yeah, please calm Akaya down, he sounded so upset… yeah, and Niou too… Thank you Sanada… ", Yukimura flipped his cell phone and sighed. Now where did Hikaru go…, he thought hard. Suddenly he smiled and shook his head. The only Hikaru's favorite place was her own bedroom! God knows she loves sleeping….

"Moshi moshi, may I speak to Hikaru please? ", Yukimura asked politely when one of Hikaru's maids answered the phone.

That night, Hikaru didn't leave her room. Her maid told her that Yukimura called and she felt so guilty for forgetting her promise to him and also for leaving the regulars behind this afternoon. But Hikaru couldn't face them at the moment. Her maids were worried about her so they asked Akita to call her Mother.

"Excuse me, Hikaru-sama… ", one of the maids, Rika, knocked Hikaru's door. She has three maids by the way. "Hikaru-sama… Yuna-sama is calling… Please open the door "

Hikaru reluctantly opened her eyes. Her Mom was calling. Akita-san must have called her. She dragged her body to open her bedroom door and retrieved the cordless phone from Rika's hand.

"Hello… Mom… ", she greeted in a hoarse and muffled voice.

"Hi-chan… What happened to you my precious daughter? ". Hikaru smiled at that. She's her precious daughter alright; she has only one daughter anyway…

"Nothing much, Mom… it's just that stupid Keigo came to my school and made fun of me in front of the guys…. "

"Made fun of you? That's not what I heard from Akita… What did he do? "

"He kissed me, Mom… ", she mumbled. Her Mother gasping a little, but somehow Hikaru knew she faked it. There's so little thing in the whole universe that can surprise Nakamura Yuna. She's basically the toughest mother ever walk in this Earth.

"So, what was it like? "

"MOM!!! "

"Ahahaha… sorry child… ", she chuckled. Hikaru almost wished they're in video conference so she can glare at her! "So why are you sounding so upset? Tell me dear… "

"It's my first kiss, Mom… ", she said sadly. Yuna gasped, this time for real.

"You mean Kei-chan NEVER kissed you before?!! "

"MOM!!! "

"Sorry Hi-chan… It's just beyond me… You guys are engaged remember? I thought you had kissed by now…. "

"Don't you remember this is a forced engagement? ", Hikaru gritted her teeth.

"Oh… I almost forgot about that… ", Yuna replied innocently. "But Honey… you eventually will kiss someone, so what's the fuss about? "

"It's HIM, Mom… You know I don't like him… and now I hate him… "

"Hikaru! Don't say such a thing about your fiancée! ", Yuna scolded her.

"And he did it in front of the whole school, Mom… can you believe it? ", Hikaru kept on ranting. "Now I'll never get to face the regulars anymore… I'm so ashamed… "

"Hikaru… I'm sorry for making you engaged against your will… But it's for the better, you know what I mean, Honey… ", Yuna sighed. "You'll through bumps in the road, but in the end I'm sure you and Keigo could work things right… "

"But he keeps ticking me off, Mom… And this time he overwhelmed it! I can't stand him Mommy… "

"I know Honey…. I agree with you on this… I'll talk to Keigo if it's okay with you "

"No Mom… I'm not playing Mommy, I'm a big girl remember? Just promise me one thing Mom… please? "

"What is it Hun? "

"Promise me, Mom… "

"Are you going to tell me or not? "

"MOM!!! "

"Okay, I promise… jeez, you sound like your Father already! "

"I'm Daddy's little girl remember? ", Hikaru giggled.

"Yeah... yeah... and you said you're a big girl... ", Yuna pretended to be upset. Hikaru grinned. But then she switched to serious mode again.

"Mom, please promise me, no matter what happen, no matter what you hear, you'll let me stay in Rikkai… okay? "

"That's a weird request… You already in Rikkai! "

"Yes, but I want to make sure that I can stay there until graduation day… "

"Okay, you have my word… ", Yuna promised. "But I don't know about your Dad… He's been so lonely after you moved to Japan..."

"Really Mom? I thought you've kept him busy… "

"You naughty little devil…. ". Hikaru laughed wholeheartedly. She missed having fun with her mother. They're more like bestfriend than mother and daughter. Suddenly she felt a sting in her eyes again.

"Mom… I miss you so much… "

"I miss you too, Baby… I wish I could always pamper you forever… "

"Mom, are you sure I can't go back to London after Middle School? I promise I'll marry Keigo, but please let me stay with you before the wedding… "

"Oh Baby… you know it's not acceptable… But you're a strong girl, I'm sure you can get through everything ahead of you…. "

"Yes, Mommy… ".

"… at second thought… maybe I should send Suoh or Aya to help you… "

"Nooooo!!! You will not do that Mom!!! ", she wailed. Yuna laughed. She knows Hikaru loves her brothers very much, but yeah, they're just too much for her!

They talked for a while before Yuna finally hung up. Hikaru put the cordless phone on her night table and sighed. Mommy is so strong, she married Dad when she's only 17 and it was an arranged marriage too. I'm sure I'll be able to handle Keigo even its last thing I do! With a new determination, Hikaru grabbed the phone and started dialing Yukimura's number.

In the meantime, Fuji was having a call from Inui. Yumiko watched his expression changed from calm to… unreadable. She never saw that kind of expression from her dear brother before. He was quiet for quite a long time after that. She smirked. Maybe she needs more update on his brother personal life now…

TO BE CONTINUED…

Yup, that's the end of chapter ten! Finally I introduced you to Hikaru's Mom. If you guys wonder, Nakamura Yuna got married when she was 17, had Suoh when she was 18, Aya when she was 21 and Hikaru when she was 26. She is 41 now. Obviously Hikaru got the genki personality from her!

And by the way, did I make Atobe look that bad? Well, he's not a bad person actually, he only has a little personality problems… and the green eyed monster called jealousy perhaps?

So guys, please review and vote!

Thank you for reading….
