-oOoOoOoPrevious…

Mikan arrived at the gates; she was welcomed by the maids and butlers.

"are you just going to stand their and not greet your onee-sama?" asked mikan stooping at the door frame.

"I was waiting for you in eternity's sake, mikan onee-sama," said yoichi pouting.

"stop giving me that pout," mikan walked towards the stairs, "I can't resist it," by that said she went upstairs. Yoichi looked at mikan's retreating figure.

"Mikan onee-sama," said yoichi and followed mikan upstairs.

- chapter 8 -

"are you okay onee-sama?" asked yoichi making his way to mikan's room, "you seem to be down."

"do I look okay yo-chan?" asked mikan while looking at the boxes on her large table.

"nope," answered yoichi taking a seat at mikan's sofa, "you look too far from being okay."

"oh, really?" asked mikan holding a book from her bookcase, "I would be happy if you'll help me."

"whatever you want onee-sama, I'll do it" yoichi answered looking at mikan. She pulled the book and then the bookcase moved to the right and a secret slide door can be seen. Yoichi looked at mikan questionably.

"are you playing again onee-sama?" asked a shocked yoichi. Mikan slid the door open and took out a dark velvet case. "mikan onee-sama, are you sure you'll play that again?"

"what's wrong in playing this again?" asked mikan irritated to yoichi, "you're the second one asking me about that!"

"but, onee-sama," yoichi said nearing mikan. "I just want you to-" yoichi was cut off by mikan standing up opening her balcony and said…

"stop worrying about me," mikan sighed, "it's already seven years and I promised him to play it as long as I'm still living."

"mikan onee-sama," yoichi whispered, "then I'll be playing with you too."

"thank you, yo-chan," she breathe staring back at the case. "I missed playing it with him."

"don't worry onee-sama," said yoichi comforting mikan, "I made a promise to him too." Mikan looked at yoichi and back to the case.

"I promised him that I'll make you happy and play with you too." Yoichi hugged mikan, she hugged back.

Knock, knock…

"Mikan-sama, dinner's ready," a servant said. Yoichi answered the servant and offered his hand to mikan. Mikan holds yoichi's hand and went down to eat.

-oOoOoOo-

"mikan one-sama?" asked yoichi.

"what?" answered mikan not looking at yoichi.

"what music are you going to play?" he asked looking up to mikan.

"okaa-sama told me to play three music," mikan looked at yoichi and pointed her spoon at him, "and you're going to accompany me…in behalf of him."

"onee-sama," yoichi pushed himself forward, "stop that! You're making it hard to understand you again."

"hn" mikan went back to eat her food. "finish your damn dinner yoichi hijiri. It's getting late." Yoichi flinched at mikan calling him his whole name; it just means authority has its peak on mikan's mind.

Yoichi finished his food and wiped his lips with the napkin (owww…how cute.) he looked at mikan. A little later mikan finished her food and did the same to her lips. She looked at yoichi who started to stand up and proceed to pull mikan's chair giving her space to pass (what a gentleman).

Mikan walked out the dining room with yoichi trailing behind.

"I'll give you the sheets tomorrow," she said, "goodnight."

"okay," yoichi replied "goodnight onee-sama."

-oOoOoOo-

Mikan opened the door to her room, went in and closed it behind her. She leaned her back to the door staring at the velvet box she left earlier. She closed her eyes and sighed and opened her eyes again and went to the bathroom.

Forty minutes later, mikan went out the bathroom wearing a black long sleeved night dress. She went to sit to her bed and opened her bedside cabinet. She took a black silver box and opened it. A soft music was heard from the box; she took out a silver key and closed the box.

"onii-sama," mikan said in a whisper looking at the key, "it's been a long time, ne?" she pushed herself to the floor at the side of her bed; she raised the mattress and looked at the secret drawer under her bed. "I missed opening you too," she smiled and put the key to the keyhole and turned it to hear a soft click.

Mikan pulled the handle and smiled, "so you're still here?" she chuckled a little. She took out the large frame and looked intently at it, a smile graced to her angelic face, "seven years of sadness and moving on," she took a glance outside her balcony, "but I won't forget how happy I am having you and yo-chan in my life," she looked back at the frame revealing a grinning reddish-brown rowdy-haired 12-year old boy raising a bow while his other hand holding a violin over a 9-year old auburn-haired girl who has a big smile both her hands on the shoulder of an 8-year old silver-gray haired boy in front of them with a large grin and sticking out his hands making a peace sign (wow! A veeeerrrrrryyyyyyy long description. Hahahahahaha.)

"oh how i missed those days with you two," she sighed and put the frame beside her, and took a black book, "i guess this is it."

Mikan closed the drawer and locked it. She put back the mattress back to its place. She grabbed the frame and stood up. She put the frame at her large bedside table, "now, that's better," she smiled and proceeded to her bed and scanned the book.

"what music?" she asked to no one in particular, she snapped and jumped up from her bed, "i know."

Mikan ran to her glass cabined and pulled three thin books. "we'll play this piece." Mikan then yawned and went to her bed. She give a last look at the books then at her wall clock, "it's already pass midnight, gotta get some sleep, i'll just give this to yoichi before i go to school." She put the books neatly just beside the frame and tucked herself to bed.
