RECAP:

Raiko is sitting on a coffee shop waiting for Tezuka who had called her and asked her to meet with him. Raiko was sipping her coffee when Tezuka arrive.

"Guess what?" Tezuka said sitting in front of her.

"Well, hello to you too." Raiko said with a smile especially when she saw Tezuka acting all happy and excited.

"Sorry, I should have said hi." Tezuka said still smiling, "I just have a good news." Tezuka added as he signal for a waiter for the same drink she was having.

"That's understandable, so what's up?" Raiko asked after Tezuka's coffee arrives.

"Sakuno finally said yes. We're finally dating." Tezuka said shocking Raiko out of the blue.

"I'm happy for you." Raiko said trying not to sound hurt while at the same time trying to stop the tears from filling her eyes.

"Thank you, I can't believe I could be this happy ater all that had happen." Tezuka said taking a sip from his coffee.

'I always known I can't be that person by your side but I'm a fool for hoping and believing that someday you'll realize it and ask me." Raiko thought as she whipe the single tear that fell from her eyes.

"Raiko are you alright?" Tezuka asked as soon as he saw her whipe her tears.

"I'm fine, I got to go, I still have a recording to make." Raiko said leaving some money to pay for her coffee then left without waiting for any goodbye. 'I'm so stupid to fell for the things you do, always thinking that it's love not friendship.' Raiko thought walking away from the coffee shop.

She was about to cross the street when she didn't see a car was coming fast. The next thing she knew, she was laying on the pavement with Kaidoh on top of her.

Chapter Eleven: Germany Here We Come

RYUUZAKI's Residence...

"What do you mean by me and Ryu going to Germany with you?" Sakuno asked as soon as Ryu had fallen asleep. "How could you make a decision without talking to me. Oh yeah, I forgot, you weren't talking to me." Sakuno added when Ryoma didn't answered.

"Sakuno, I'm sorry for not talking to you before i made the decision. I really am." Ryoma said really sorry.

"Ryoma next time please talk to me it concerns Ryu that means it also concerns me." Sakuno said and realizing that Ryoma has a reason for not talking to her. Imagine if she was in Ryoma's shoes finding out for after six years that she has a son and she miss a lot when the kid is growing up.

"I will, so how about going to Germany with me?" Ryoma asked approaching Sakuno.

"What can I say, he already made a list on what's to pack." Sakuno said with a laugh as she remembers her son's reaction.

SAKATOSHI'S RESIDENCE...

"Thanks for dropping me off." Raiko said as she and Kaidoh stood in her front porch.

"Your welcome." Kaidoh said looking at her. "I guess I better go, its getting late and i have training tomorrow." Kaidoh added whe he nor Raiko had said anything. KAidoh said goodbye and started to walk back to his car.

"Kaidoh!" Raiko suddenly said stopping him from his tracks, the next thing Kaidoh knew is he flt warm lips touch his cheeks. "Thanks for everything." Raiko added before going inside the house leaving a stunned Kaidoh to walk back to his car and drive home.

FOUR DAYS LATER...

"You got everything?" Ryoma asked Sakuno after they had loaded her's and Ryu's stuff in his car.

"Yeah." Sakuno said who's carryiong a sleeping Ryu because their plane leaves early so they could make it to Germany ealier and have a few ours rest before the opening ceremony.

"Then let's go." Ryoma said taking his son from Sakuno as Karupin replace Ryu in her arms.

NARITA AIRPORT...

"Tezuka!" Oishi called when Tezuka's familiar face on the forming crowd.

"Oishi." Tezuka said Shock when he saw Oishi. "What are you doing here?"

"I'm going to Germany with Take-san, Momo..."

"Oy!" Somebody shouted from behind them and when both look back they saw all the regulars except Ryoma and Kaidoh of course. "Oishi guess what." Eiji said trying not to bounce with excitement.

"Nani?" Oishi answered as he saw Fuji and Inui are also with Eiji.

"Tezuka, Fuji and Inui are going to Germany too and they have the same flight with us." Eiji said, "Unyah! isn't it fun." EIji added when Oishi just stared at him.

"Yeah, I guess so." Oishi answered remembering the scene on Sakuno's house before when they had search for Ryu. (A/N: Everyone knows about the Kaidoh, Raiko and Tezuka thing all thanks to Inui but Eiji is still oblivious to it.)

"Here comes Kaidoh and Raiko." Eiji shouted pointing at a man and a woman who are holding hands and the man is carrying the woman's hand carry with his.

Kaidoh and Raiko saw Eiji and the others standing in the middle of people going all direction. Kaidoh saw Tezuka among Eiji's group making him squeez tightly on Raiko's hand while on the other hand Tezuka frowned a little.

As Kaidoh and Raiko walk towards them, suddenly a sea of people started to crowd at them, everyone is shouting for Raiko' autograph.

OTHER SIDE OF THE AIRPORT FOR PRIVATE PLANE ONLY...

"Welcome Mr. Echizen it's good to see you again." THe pilot of Ryoma's private plane said as some of his plane crew help with their laugage. "Ah, of course, Ms. Ryuuzaki, welcome, I'm Nigel, Mr. Echizen's private pilot." Nigel added shaking Sakuno's hand.

"It's nice meeting you too Nigel." Sakuno answered sweetly.

Fifteen minutes later, Ryoma is sitting beside Sakuno on his plane with drinks on their hands while Ryu is sleeping on a built-in bed on the plane with Karupin beside him as the plane left Japan for Germany.

NARITA AIRPORT...

Security was called in and they help Raiko to the waiting plane together with the Seigaku Regulars. (A/N: The Seigaku Regulars help too but since Tezuka, Fuji and Kaidoh are famous too the situation didn't went well.

"I had never known you're that popular." Eiji had said once they are all sited and more relax.

"The percent of her popularity is 89 but that is before, ever since she had release her new album Houkiboushi her popularity had raise to 100 and her album had been on the top 1 for the whole week since it's release and it was sold out for the last 2 days earning a total of 8.5 million yen." Inui said closing his notebook as everyone look at him. There's something never change.

"Hey, I didn't know you've been keeping data about Raiko." Momo said "I bet there's something more in there that you're not telling us." Momo added looking at Inui who was sitting beside Fuji.

"That's-A-Se-cret!" Inui said making Fuji smile knowingly as he watch Tezuka sitting on the other side of the plane frowning at Kaidoh and Raiko who is sitting beside each other in front of Fuji and Inui.
