"Hotaru! stop it!" shouted Ruka who was shame.

Hotaru didn't care with Ruka's cry. She kept riding her duck vehicle while Ruka was trying to chase her. After about a half hour of running and chasing, they stop because they were... tired.

"hosh..hosh..hosh.. Ho-Hotaru. Give me those pictures!" panted Ruka while he was sitting on the floor, he held out his hand to Hotaru.

"why I must give these pictures to you when I can get rich because of this bunny boy photos?" hotaru smirked with dollars eyes.

Ruka's sweat was dropped because of his fiance. He knew he will be getting used to his fiance action. At least that was what he believed because If not, he might get crazy.

Ruka has given up to ask Hotaru to give him the picture. He stared at his fiance face that's written I'll be rich, while she was calculating her income that night. Suddenly, Ruka remembered about his best friend's problem. He couldn't take it anymore to see his best friend suffered. So, he collected his courage to ask his lovely fiance.

"u-uhm.. Hotaru. Don't you think it's time to tell Natsume where Sakura is?"asked Ruka who was trembling a lot.

Suddenly, Hotaru's face changed into serious one. She stopped calculating her income, and she turned her head to Ruka and it made Ruka feeling like... "well, I'm going to die".

"u-um.. Ho-Hotaru?" Ruka was closing his eyes, ready to get hit by his fiance's bakagun. But, after five minutes of waiting, there's nothing happen.

Ruka open his eyes and he stared confusedly at his fiance's stoic face. Usually, when he asked Hotaru about this, Hotaru would shot him with her baka gun. But now, Hotaru didn't do it.

"Hotaru, is something wrong?" asked Ruka. He was worried while he approaching Hotaru.

"I don't need to do that." Said Hotaru with her stoic expression.

"huh?"

"if it's time, Hyuuga definitely will find her."

"what do you mean Hotaru?" ruka was confused with his fiancé's statement.

"I'm hungry. Buy me 15 bowls of crabs, Bunnyboy!" command hotaru, she ignored Ruka's question.

"a..alright." Answer Ruka who was realli confused.

"aha, Done!" said the brunette who wore her chef clothes cheerfully

"wuaaa! it's so pretty onee-chan!" said Kumi who was amazed

"hehe.. thank you Kumi-chan." said the brunette while she was caressing her head.

Mikan was making a new cake for her shop. She made a beautiful cake with fruits decorating it. Kumi really liked the cake that Mikan made. So, Kumi has asked Mikan to invite her if Mikan made a new creation.

"Ne ne, onee-chan, can I eat it?" asked Kumi excitedly, she was staring at Mikan's beautiful new cake.

"sure!"

Kumi took the slice of the cake into her mouth "Uwaaaa! it's so Delicious!" s

Mikan was smiling when she saw how Kumi acted. She really liked children. She wanted to see their happy face. That's why she decided to become a patisserie and lived in her hometown, after she ran from Hyuuga's mansion.

"Hyuuga company, has opened their new subdivision in USA. Their company was known in the whole world, with their new president Natsume Hyuuga, Hyuuga Company become more bla bla bla..and bla bla..." the news from a radio was heard in Enril Pastries kitchen.

Mikan was listening the radio and she closed her eyes. But suddenly, Kumi uttered an innocent question to Mikan.

"ne, onee-chan, why you keep listening to Hyuuga Company's news? Is it interesting?" asked Kumi. her mouth was dirty by cream of cake.

Mikan turned her head to Kumi. She was laughing when she saw Kumi's face. She stood up from the chair and took a piece of tissue in the drawer. She walked approaching Kumi, and wiped her mouth gently.

"it's because.. someone I really know, is there." said Mikan softly, almost like whispering while she was wiping Kumi's mouth.

"someone you really know?"

"yes. He is stupid, egoist, sarcastic, stubborn and pervert ." said Mikan while she set an annoyed face with her both hands on her hips.

Mikan then put down her both hands, her face turned into the sad one. She bowed her head with a slight of tears appeared on the corner of her eyes

"I...I want to forget and erase him from my mind. But, no matter how hard I try, I end up following his track"

Actually, Kumi didn't understand what was Mikan talking about. But, from Mikan's expression, she knew she has hurted Mikan because of her question.

"onee-chan..." said Kumi who felt guilty .

Mikan turned her head to Kumi's almost cry face and she pulled her breath then she smiling

"what happen to your face Kumi-chan?" asked Mikan while she pinched Kumi's cheek playfully.

"hiks.. be-because of me.. sob you are...sob sad onee-chan." cried Kumi.

"Hey! Who said I'm sad? I'm not sad. There's many people around me like you and Hotaru-nee who could be my strength." said Mikan smiling while put both her hands on her hips.

"onee-chan.."

"Ah! It's time. C'mon kumi-chan. Since you're here, do you want to help me welcoming the customer today?" asked Mikan smiling while she held out her hand to Kumi.

"sure!" answered Kumi smiling.

Hyuuga Company

"our revenue has increased drastically since we have joined with Nogi. Many companies in another country want to join us. One of them was Francoise Boutique from France, should we accept it hyuuga-sama?" asked Hushio-san, one of Hyuuga employer.

"Hn" answered Natsume very short

"Alright, excused myself, Hyuuga-sama." said Hushio-san while he bowed his head and he left the room.

"we are really busy Natsume. I am tired." said Ruka who's siiting on the couch while he yawned.

Natsume stood up from his chair and he approaching a very gorgeous and very expensive painting. He raised his hand and he took the painting slowly. He stared at the painting for few minutes just to throw the painting to don't know where.

Ruka's sweet was dropping when he saw his best friend's acted "I thought you like that painting."

But actually, what Natsume wanted was not the painting, but something that was hidden behind the painting, a luxurious safe-deposit box.

Natsume pressed some pin numbers. Looks like it was someone's birthday date. Wonder who is she.. ha! How could I say she?!

Natsume held his safety-box door's knob and he opened it slowly. When the door was opened fully, a beam of light was shining from inside the box. And, it appeared Natsume's precious asset. It looks like anyone who dare to touch it will die. It was his precious... .…...shounen manga.

Natsume was smirked when he saw his collection has increased. "Ruka has added new series." He thought while he took the manga and he walked back to his chair.

Ruka was smiling to his best friend when he saw his best friend took the manga he just bought. Ruka wondered but didn't brave enough to ask, why his best friend saved his manga in a safety-box.

Ruka was reading a newspaper while he was drinking a cup of coffe and Natsume was reading his manga on his chair with his both legs on the desk, suddenly someone knocked the door.

TOK TOK TOK

the door was opened and showing a woman around twenty who has short blue hair with glasses adorned her eyes. She was Natsume's secretary, Hasaka.

"Hyuuga-sama, I come here bringing a news for you." said Hasaka while she bowed her head politely.

"what is it Hasaka-san?" asked Ruka and he put his newspaper onto table. Natsume put his legs down and he put his manga inside a drawer.

"Actually, it's not a big problem, But, as we know, Hyuuga company is a very big company that was known around the world, we have cooperated with many companies in the field of fashion, electronics, business, education and even beauty. But, there's one thing that we have never cooperated with, it's food." Explained Hasaka.

"So? What's wrong with that?" Asked Ruka who was confused.

"It's important to raise our company Ruka." Said Natsume

"huh?"

"yes Nogi-sama, the more we cooperate with other business, the more people will notice our company." explained Hasaka.

"I see.. so, should we cooperated with Pastreuol Restourant? That restourant is famous and almost all people around Japan know it. I'll contact them if you want Natsume." said Ruka

"No Ruka. People will have ordinary reaction if we take well-known resto like that. We need something above that. Have you found it?" asked Natsume to his secretary .

"Yes Hyuuga-sama, I have searched approximately suit our need." Hasaka walked approaching Natsume while she gave Natsume a brown file.

That's Hasaka a super secretary. That's why Natsume chose her to be his secretary because of her work.

Natsume opened it and saw a photo. Natsume stared at the photo for almost 8 minutes when suddenly he spoke "I indeed said we need something below that resto, but not like this." Natsume said while he threw a photo.

Ruka walked approaching the desk and stared at the photo "Ano.. Hasaka-san, it's a joke right? I'm sure you're joking. Should I laugh? A-ha .. ha" asked Ruka with a forced smile.

"I'm sorry but I'm serious Nogi-sama. That shop is really famous in Hokkaido. People said the cakes are delicious. I think people will give best responds if we cooperate with that shop. Please, think about it Hyuuga-sama." said Hasaka politely.

"Natsume?" asked Ruka, he turned his head to his best friend

"fine. But, call another people to contact that shop. I'll just monitor it from far."

"alright, I understand. I'll prepare your flight to Hokkaido Hyuuga-sama." said Hasaka while she bowed her head before leaving the room.

"what? Hokkaido?" murmured Ruka softly. "Natsume can I come with you?" asked Ruka to his best friend who was raising his eyebrows.

"you know, Hotaru fly to Hokkaido this morning. I just want to visit her and I want to know what is she doing at that place, since she didn't want tell me." said Ruka with red cheek made Natsume smirked.

"Hn." answered Natsume.

"Then, I'll go now." said Ruka while he left the room.

In the room, Natsume stared at the photo on the desk once again He did that for few minutes without removing his gaze because he wonder, why he had strange feeling when he looked at this shop.

Natsume then left, leaving a photo on the desk that reads Enril Pastries.
