When Sakuno and Atobe finally arrived home they were escorted to the dinning area where a meal was already prepared for them. They ate mostly in silence; Sakuno noticed that during the ride back home he had his thinking face on.

He usually didn't like to be bothered when his face was like that from what Sakuno has learned from spending so much time with him. She was great full that she has learned a few things, it helped her understand Atobe better.

He was indeed arrogant, proud, and a show off but there are so many things that made him in her eyes, a wonderful person. He seemed to love to work hard, for himself and others. He did his best to make the friends he had happy, even though he was their captain.

Some people may not see that, but Sakuno could tell that no matter what the crisis he would do anything in his power to protect those valuable to him.

When they both finished eating Atobe excused himself to make a few last preparations for his party, and Sakuno dragged herself to work on her homework in her room. She was studying hard, and trying to concentrate while Wen and Yang Guang* played with her hair.

They were very pushy about it and Sakuno couldn't reject the offer, because she always wanted to do things like this with other girls. Even though they were a bit older than her, they looked young and acted like it.

Sakuno liked the feeling of bonding with other girls like this, and it made her feel like a real human teenager living a somewhat normal life. Sakuno didn't really think about the enemy of fan girls that are being formed at this very moment, nor did she think about tomorrow being any different then it was today.

After an hour of hard work Sakuno was finally able to put down her pen, and close her books for the night. At the time the twins also finished straightening her long hair, and putting in into a ponytail.

"All done Hime-sama!*" They chorused.

Sakuno sweat dropped being called by such a name, and put her hands up a bit.

"Th-Thank you, but p-please call me S-Sakuno." She said bowing her head a bit in response.

"Yes, Sakuno-hime." They said smiling, while Sakuno could only let out a sigh in defeat. It seems that they did it by choice, and it seemed like they enjoyed saying it. Maybe they felt that they were serving a real princess, or that she was a doll for them to play with.

Sakuno then got up and put her things in an orderly stack on her desk by her other things, and soon felt a cold chill run down her spine. Turning her head slowly to look behind her she could only see the silhouette of Wen and Yang Guang with gleaming eyes.

"Umm…Is- Is there something w-w-wrong?"

They only smirked in response to her adorable stuttering, and pulled out a bunch of different outfits from God knows where.

"umm…I'm sorry, but w-what's going?" Sakuno asked starting to feel tense, and she tried to back away only to run out of space.

"Sakuno-hime." They said lowering their voices, and growing closer to her still smiling mischievously.

"Y-Yes?" Sakuno asked in fear of what would be the answer.

The twins looked at one another for a moment before returning their excited eyes back to Sakuno, who was trembling slightly.

"Let's play dress up!" They cheered grabbing her, and whirling her around as they took off her school uniform and started to force her into many colorful outfits.

It seems that when they measured her they went overboard and made many outfits for her, it turns out that Sakuno was the type of girl that interested the twins. Her body frame was beautiful, yet simple because it wasn't curvaceous or flat.

It was again all a blur for Sakuno because they worked so fast and smoothly she really didn't know when she had all her clothes on or not. They would sometimes stop and let her check in the mirror if they were really proud of it, but they mostly kept changing and unchanging.

Only when they started to put her in cosplay outfits did Sakuno actually realize what she was wearing.

Sakuno indeed tried to protest this for a long time, but they ignored her with a smirk even though they respected her. Sakuno could only guess they were the type that always got what they wanted.

When Sakuno realized her voice wouldn't stop them, and being physical was out of the question she gave in and just let them have their way with her, what would it hurt?

Atobe finished talking to his advisor, and was about to go check on Sakuno when he got another call. His heart skipped a beat for a moment because he wasn't expecting any more calls today, and he made sure that all the fan girls had their numbers blocked from calling his home.

He had a terrible feeling about this, and he knew that ignoring it now would only make things worse if who was calling is who he thought it was.

He picked up the phone, and cleared his voice softly before answering in a calm and charming voice.

"Atobe Keigo speaking." He said in his pompous voice.

"Oh darling! It's so wonderful to hear my sons beautiful voice!" She said rather loudly.

Atobe was tempted to say that he knew that she was happy to hear is beautiful voice, because honestly who wasn't? Still, he has been trying to tone down his proud proclamations about himself lately.

"How is France, mother?" He asked getting to the point.

"Oh! It was amazing I bought a few things, and we're on our way home as we speak." She said cheerfully

Atobe almost dropped the phone, because that sentence meant many things regarding him and his up coming party. Whenever his mom said she bought 'a few things' that usually meant she bought a few truck load of things, when she said 'we're' she meant her and his father were also coming home.

He had actually hoped that they would not have been back until the next Saturday, and this was surely going to become a mess if they know about Sakuno.

"That's wonderful news." He said

"Yes, and Keigo-kun I have a great idea for your party theme? Are you going to take a date per chance?" She asked slyly.

"Ore-sama has already sent out the invites, sorry mother. Yes, ore-sama is also going to bring a date." He said trying to make sure that she couldn't touch his party anymore.

His mother loved to correct or add to his parties whenever he had one. It became a power struggle when he got older, and that's a bit of the reason why he likes to be in control of his team so much. He doesn't need or want a vice-captain when he is there.

"Really now? Oh dear…well…maybe we could still…oh I don't know…maybe let them wear the beautiful masks I just bought." She said in a sweet way.

"Mother, Ore-sama doesn't…" he began.

"The girls name is Watanuki Sakuno yes? She sounds adorable form what I asked the butler." She said interrupting his disapproval.

"Then why did…"

"Just to make sure." She said

"Mom…"

"Oh! I have to leave, talk to you at the party!" She said quickly before hanging up.

That conversation although short left his body and soul somewhat drained at the moment, even though this has happened many times in the past. His mother never failed to get what she wanted.

Which now, Gave him a new headache, because this party was his not hers. She always would tell him that her helping was for the best, and she knew that he would be happier. Of course, it was the opposite because in fact he was very unhappy.

He combed his fingers through his hair and decided to go check on Sakuno, it seems that seeing her calmed him down.

He went to her room and knocked on the door, and heard the two maids tell him to come in with a muffled no in the background.

He entered with one eye brow slightly raised. "What is going on?" He asked.

"Cosplay." The maids said in unison, holding Sakuno who was blushing a deep red.

It seems that the cosplay was a sexy bunny girl outfit, with her brown hair cascading down her shoulders Sakuno was what most men would call a dream come true.

Atobe was surprised and speechless to see her dressed like that because she was far too innocent to wear something so drastic and he could feel his ears becoming hot.

His cheeks were turning red, and so he turned around so as not to face her. The twins glanced at each other before grinning like little devils.

"Atobe-sama." They called together.

"Do you…" Wen Started

"…like?" Yang Guang finished.

Sakuno started look at the two maids in confusion. "Wh-what?" She asked, only to be ignored.

He put his hands on his hips, and turned his head to the side to look at Sakuno.

"Is your work done?" he asked Sakuno changing the subject.

"Ah, y-yes, I-it's on the desk." She said hesitantly after being let free of the maids grasp.

He went over and took the papers. "Ore-sama will get someone to look them over." He said

O-okay, Thank you Atobe-san." She said bowing which in turn made his face grow hot again, and he quickly looked away.

"It's nothing; Ore-sama just wants you to be able to stay on par with everyone else." He said leaving the room.

Thinking that never in all his life did his heart flutter like it did right then and he didn't like that one bit. He wasn't a perverted man because he had style, class, and a good mind even when his fan girls would through themselves at him in even skimpier attire.

There were fan girls who were curvier than Sakuno who would wear things like that, but it always disgusted him to see it. They had no shame or dignity the worst kind of woman. He would tell Kabaji to push them out of the way, and keep walking towards his destination.

That's why it was a surprise that he actually blushed, when he saw Sakuno in that outfit. Not like she was trying to look like a tramp, she was actually trying to cover herself up when her arms were let free.

He sighed and decided to go outside to his garden for some fresh air and look at the stars. He could only think about Sakuno though when he looked up at those small lights in the sky that were so far from him.

Sakuno wasn't like any girl he has ever met in his life, because she was in fact a pure light. What you see is what you get; there was no hidden agenda or dark secrets that she held inside.

She was like nothing he has ever scene, but he new why. Sakuno wasn't human; he's known that sense the beginning, but when she grew to the size of a human being his memory started to slip.

He almost forgot until now that she was indeed a fairy, not a human like him.

In the short amount of time she was human he was able to bond and dismiss the fact she was not even human.

It almost hurt when he realized that, but the time he was with her, he was happy.

The next day they went off to school, and Sakuno went to rework some of the problems she messed up on. Atobe decided that they would get out together, and he would walk her to class. He knew people saw them together yesterday, and word spreads fast so leaving her alone with a big group might kill her.

Though it seems Sakuno was becoming sicker, because the weather was acting funny. It started to get windy, and then it would rain, then it would be sunny again.

In her first period class Sakuno was saved by her new friend Suzette from what looked like blue goo.

"I knew they would do this, don't worry Sakuno-chan I'll make sure you're safe." Suzette said.

"Ah! Thank you so much!" She said bowing.

"Don't worry; everything should be okay if you just stay cautious. Also, look before you sit down anywhere." She said leaving to her seat on the other side of the room.

"Y-yes." Sakuno said a bit tense.

Due to Sakuno's sickness, when the teacher went to gather his books from his desk a leg broke and it fell over. Every one was rather shocked, but the teacher tried to explain that the desk was actually very old and was probably eaten away.

The students knew he was lying because they saw when the desk was brought to the class the first day of school. It had the price sticker on it, and with the amount of money the school paid for it couldn't have been that old.

The next class she actually got to talk to Gakuto, who she found funny and interesting. He seemed to like her too, and tried to make her smile.

Bad things happened in that class too, like being harassed by notes and hearing the other girls whisper about her. Not only that but the lights would start flickering, and Sakuno was getting a headache.

The whole day her headache was getting worse, and more 'unexplainable' ghost like things in class.

The only good part was that her new friends kept watch over so she didn't get bullied by the Atobe fan girls. They would just walked around her to keep her safe, they chatted with her about where they lived, or where they wished to live.

Sakuno wouldn't even notice the glares sent her way by the girls, and Atobe was very thankful for that.

He didn't trust that group, but when he saw how they treated her today he decided it would be fine. He needed someone to look after her for him, because if he stayed with her all the time it would only make things worse.

Besides he had things to keep him busy like his team or the fact his mom is trying to over run his party with her own ideas.

See? Lots of things to keep in mind.

He did notice though that maybe he should go comfort Sakuno, and talk to her for a while to see how she is feeling. It seems all the pencils and pens in the whole school broke, at the same time.

When it was about time for practice he really knew he had to check up on her. It wasn't like he felt she was being hurt, it was just the fact that it was actually snowing.

When he went to go get her from her classroom, he could tell she wasn't feeling well, but when they were walking through the halls she insisted she was fine.

"No, no please don't worry Atobe-san. I promise I'm fine, please don't go out of your way to worry." She said growing red and bowing.

"Out of my way?" He asked before holding her chin earning a few growls from the stalking fan girls.

"If it is to make sure you are not in pain, it shouldn't be considered something 'out of my way'" He said with a dashing smirk.

She was about to give into his charm when she pulled her head free blushing furiously.

"Th-thank you for being so kind, but really I'm fine." She said trying to look happy.

He walked up to her and grabbed her arm, dragging her away by force to the front of the school. She was trying to fight back, but was rather weak at the moment.

He snapped his fingers and soon the car rolled up in front of them, and the chauffeur opened the door for them.

Atobe picked Sakuno up much to her surprise, and put her in the car.

"Make sure to get plenty of rest when you get home." He said.

"But…I"

He closed the door, and she was taken home.

She pouted in the car.

"Is this tough love?" She wondered.

*Wen means cloud and Yang guang means sunshine. Just a reminder.

*Hime- princess
