***Recap***
A fourteen-year old red headed girl burst into the room. She walked over to me and raised her hand. An ear-splitting crack filled the room.
***End of Recap***
"REI! How DARE you hit Yuki-chan!" Brianna roared as she came back into the room.
Ikuto rushed over to me and lightly caressed my cheek. "Are you okay?"
I slightly nodded my head. He quickly kissed the cheek that had been slapped and I blushed. The girl called Rei became even angrier. Usagi just sat there with a confused look on her face.
"I'm sorry Yuki-chan! Rei is new here and—"
"Hey slut!"
"My second time being called a slut in my entire life…"
"Get away my Ikuto!'
I raised an eyebrow. "My Ikuto…?"
"REI! You will address Ikuto as Ikuto-sama unless he tells you not to! And do NOT call Yuki a slut! You will address her as Yuki-sama unless she tells you otherwise. Please forgive her," Brianna pleaded as she curtsied to us.
"How many times do I have to tell you to call me Yuki?"
"But…"
"That's an order."
"Yes Yuki-ch, I mean Yuki… Please forgive her!"
"As long as she apologizes to Yuki," Ikuto said.
"Apologize, Rei."
"… Sorry," she said sarcastically.
Brianna dragged Rei away and came back a few moments later.
"I thought that Otou-san wasn't going to hire any more maids," Ikuto said.
"Rei's replacing a maid that's leaving soon," Brianna responded.
"And that would be…?"
"Me."
"Why?" I cried.
"Yuki… I'm getting married."
My eyes lit up. "Congratulations! Kenji finally proposed to you! You have to let us help you with the wedding! And don't forget to invite us to the wedding!"
"Of course I will. Not only that but I'm pregnant!"
"Then what are you doing here? You should be resting at home!"
"I'm to teach Rei all the responsibilities of being a personal maid but she doesn't like you…"
"How come none of the other maids were picked for me?"
"Takishima-sama thought that I should choose my replacement. None of the maids here have the skills required for that. However, Rei does but I'm worried that you two won't get along well."
"Why doesn't she like me?"
"She's loves Ikuto apparently and she thinks that you are his girlfriend."
"I wish that was true," Ikuto grinned.
I lightly hit him. "Ikuto, do you even know her?"
"She was one of the maids of one of my father's clients. The moment I walked in, she was all over me… Are you jealous Yuki?"
"NO WAY!"
"Maybe if you tell her that you're not Ikuto's girlfriend, she'll start to like you," Usagi said quietly.
"That's a good idea… may I call you Usagi?"
"Sure."
"How about me, you, Utau, Sakura, and Rei go out to Tokyo Mall?" I suggested.
"How about you all come with me to plan my wedding?" Brianna said.
"That would be great!"
"I'll tell Rei."
Brianna left to go talk to Rei. Ikuto left right after to give the two of us some time together.
"Yuki, can I see your room?" Usagi asked.
"Sure."
~In My Room~
"You have a drum set in here!?" Usagi marveled.
"Yea, I got it just in case you came over some time. After all, drums are you specialty."
"Can we sing a duet?"
"I don't see why not."
I grabbed a guitar and we started playing.
Hot and Cold (By Katy Perry)
Yuki
You change your mind
Like a girl changes clothes
Yeah you, PMS
Like a bitch
I would know
And you always think
Always speak
Cryptically
I should know
That you're no good for me
Both
Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up
You, You don't really want to stay, no
You, but you don't really want to go-o
You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down
Usagi
We used to be
Just like twins
So in sync
The same energy
Now's a dead battery
Used to laugh bout nothing
Now your plain boring
I should know that
you're not gonna change
Both
Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up
You, You don't really want to stay, no
You, but you don't really want to go-o
You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down
Yuki
Someone call the doctor
Got a case of a love bi-polar
Stuck on a roller coaster
Can't get off this ride
You change your mind
Like a girl changes clothes
Both
Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up
You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up
You, you don't really want to stay, no
You, but you don't really want to go-o
You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down
"Shouldn't we call Utau and Sakura to let them know what we're doing tomorrow?" Usagi asked out of the blue.
"Crap! I totally forgot! Let's call them now!"
~The Next Day at Brianna's Apartment~
"Why is she coming along?" Rei complained.
"Because I let her come," Brianna retorted, "Usagi, Utau, Sakura, can you guys help me get the wedding plans? They're scattered all over my room."
"Sure."
The four of them left.
"Um… Rei-san? I think you misunderstood about me and Ikuto."
"There's nothing to misunderstand," Rei snorted.
"Ikuto and I are just best friends. We're not dating and we don't like each other."
"You're just saying that to trick me into liking you but I'm not falling for it."
At that moment Ikuto, Kukai, and Ichiru came in.
"How'd you guys come in? The door was locked!" I gaped.
"Ikuto, being the cat he is," Kukai said as Ikuto smacked the back of his head, "picked the lock with his claw."
"His… claw..?"
"He character transformed."
"Oh..."
"You're so gullible!" Ikuto chuckled.
"???"
"Kenji gave us the key," Ichiru explained.
"You two are so mean!" I shouted as I chased them.
"Ikuto!" Rei shouted in delight. She ran over to him and hugged him.
"Who's she?" Ichiru asked.
"Long story short, one of Ikuto's fangirls," I answered.
"Ikuto, is it true that you and that girl are just best friends?" Rei asked.
"Yes."
"Oh…"
"But we're trying to hook them up together," Kukai said. "They make a good couple."
Rei glared at me.
"It's not like they're making any progress," Kukai added quickly. "They insist that the most they'll love each other is like siblings."
"Why should I believe you?" Rei sneered.
"We're Ikuto's best friends," Ichiru replied. "I'm Tsukiyomi Ichiru, Ikuto's younger twin, but I prefer to be called Kiryuu Ichiru."
"I'm Souma Kukai."
"Kukai-koi!" Utau squealed as she gave him a bear hug.
"What are you doing here Ichiru-koi?" Sakura asked.
"We thought that Kenji might need help with the wedding preparations. After all, he's my personal butler," Ikuto said.
"Cross-san, may I speak with you privately?" Rei asked.
"She finally called me by my name."
"Sure."
~In an Empty Room~
"I'm sorry I slapped you yesterday. I thought that you and Ikuto were lovers," Rei apologized.
"Apology accepted."
"So we can be friends?"
"Yep, just call me Yuki."
"Then just call me Rei."
"I see you two have gotten everything cleared up."
We turned around to see Brianna standing there.
"We should go now."
~At a Wedding Planning Shop~
"How may I help you?" a brunette behind the desk asked.
"My fiancée and I need help planning our wedding," Kenji answered.
"Hold on for just a minute."
A raven-haired woman came toward us from the elevator. "I'm Tasha. I'm here to help you with your wedding. So first, we need a theme."
"How about we make it concert-themed? That's where we first met," Brianna said.
Tasha wrote it down. "Where should the wedding take place?"
"You can have it at my house. I'm sure Otou-san wouldn't mind. We even have a stage there," Ikuto suggested,
"That would be great!" Kenji exclaimed.
Ikuto gave her our address.
"Bridesmaids?"
"Which three of you want to be my bridesmaids?"
"I'm not going to be able to come to the wedding. My new parents have five kids including me. They go to work every day and I'm left to take care of the kids," Usagi explained. "They had a small vacation yesterday and today. That's why I could come here."
"I want to be one!" the other three chorused.
"I'm good. Maybe I could be the entertainment? After all, what's a concert without a singer?" I said.
"We'll get some CD's so that you don't lose your voice when singing all day long. You should have fun too," Brianna said.
Tasha wrote it down. "Best men?"
"There three of course," Kenji gestured toward Kukai, Ikuto, and Ichiru.
"Yay! We're couples! Kukai and Utau, Ichiru and Sakura, and Ikuto and me!" Rei exclaimed.
I smiled but my mind said something totally different. "She already thinks of them as a couple? Ikuto doesn't even like her! His expression obviously shows it. Am I… jealous…?"
Rei clung to Ikuto's arm tightly. Ikuto gave me a desperate look.
"Rei, you're going to cut off his blood circulation," I warned her.
She quickly let go of him.
"The date of the wedding?" Tasha asked after writing down the names.
"Next Saturday," the couple said together.
"Guest list?"
They gave her a list of names and addresses.
"I'll make and send the invitations. I'll also provide the preacher. What time?"
"The wedding is three in the afternoon 'till eight at night."
"I'll get started right away."
~Outside~
"We should go shopping for clothes," Brianna said.
"I'll buy them," Ikuto offered.
"I can make the dresses. Just pick one out," I offered as well so Ikuto wouldn't have to spend too much.
"So Yuki will make the dresses and Ikuto will buy our stuff," Kenji concluded.
"Isn't that too much work?" Brianna asked.
"Nope, I'll be able to finish them in a day."
"Amazing! Let's go!"
We parted our ways from the guys and went to a dress store. Utau chose a black halter dress (the one she usually wears in the show), Sakura chose a lavender spaghetti strap dress, and Brianna chose a white dress that looked like a wedding dress but was casual at the same time.
"What about you, Yuki?" Usagi asked.
"My dress is a secret," I grinned, "and I already have matching shoes."
They bought matching shoes to the dresses as I snapped pictures of the dresses with my phone.
~The Day of the Wedding~
"You're so pretty!" three of my charas exclaimed.
I cam out of the bathroom wearing a baby blue tube top dress that reached four inches above my knees. Instead of fabric for the back of the top part of the dress, two black strings continuously crossed. I was wearing wooden platforms (they were brand new so they didn't get the room dirty) with black straps. My necklace was replaced with a choker but my seashell pendant was dangling from it. My charas were chatting excitedly about what I was wearing—all of them except for one.
"Is something wrong Karen?" I asked.
"Yoru broke up with her," Yuri answered quickly.
"I see… Do you want to talk about it?"
She shook her head "no." "I was too good for him anyway," she said as I stifled a laugh. "Where'd you get the dress? I'm pretty sure Yuri didn't make it."
"It was my mother's. I'm going to go see how things are going along. You guys can come to the wedding but make sure to stay unnoticed."
~In the Dressing Room~
Utau, Sakura, Rei, and Brianna gasped as I entered the room.
"You look so beautiful!" Brianna exclaimed.
"Come on, you look so much better. After all, it's your wedding, not mine. Do you have the four—"
"Yep, something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue right?"
"You guys did a good job with Brianna. She looks fantastic! Kenji is going to be ogling over her. But are you sure that I should only sing a couple of songs?"
"Maximum of six," Brianna nodded. "You should have fun too."
"As you wish…"
"We should go and see if the wedding preparations are alright. The guests arrive in fifteen minutes."
~In the Concert Room a.k.a. Where the Wedding is Going to Take Place~
(The guys were wearing something that looked like Ikuto's school uniform.) All Kenji, Kukai, and Ichiru could do was stare as Brianna, Sakura, Utau, and Rei came into the room. Ikuto remained composed. Utau turned around to find that I had not followed them. I was hiding behind a wall because I was too embarrassed.
"Come on Yuki!" Utau said as she dragged me into clear view.
I could feel Ikuto's eyes staring at me and I felt self-conscious. Rei, of course, was clinging onto him and trying to get his attention but failed to do so. He ignored her, somehow managed to get her off of him, and walked towards me.
"Do I look that bad?" I asked shyly.
"Not at all. You look absolutely amazing," he responded as he took my hand and kissed the back of it. My cheeks turned cherry red and Utau and Sakura giggled.
"Shut up!" I shouted at them as a vein popped out on my forehead.
"Ikuto, you're such a gentleman," Rei ogled over him. I felt a pang of jealousy as she clung onto his arm again.
"Onee-chan!"
I turned around and saw Kei wearing what the other guys were wearing except smaller.
"You're so cute!" I squealed as I ran over to him and hugged him.
"Can't… breathe…"
I let go. "Gomen."
"The guests are arriving!" Kukai announced.
~After
all the Guests Arrive (this around 5 o'clock)~
"We are gathered here today to witness the marriage of Kurou Kenji and Yumou Brianna," the preacher began. After his long speech, he finally said, "Kourou Kenji, do you take Yumou Brianna to be you lawfully wedded wife?"
"I do."
"Yumou Brianna do you—"
"I do."
"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."
We all whooped and cheered as Kenji kissed Brianna. Ikuto and I were on the stage already. We took the mikes and started singing as Kenji and Brianna danced.

Even though Brianna had given me time to enjoy myself, I wasn't really enjoying myself. I mean, how could I when Rei was obsessing over the guy I like? Time passed quickly and before we knew it, night had fallen. I was standing on the balcony and enjoying the fresh air when two strong yet familiar arms wrapped around my waist.
"Shouldn't you be with your girlfriend?" I asked, annoyed.
"Rei's not my girlfriend," an irritated husky voice said in my ear. The two arms gripped my waist stronger.
"That hurts Ikuto."
I received no answer from him. I looked up to see his smiling eyes gazing into mine. I quickly looked away so he couldn't see me blush. He chuckled quietly and inhaled the scent of my hair,
"Strawberries, my favorite," he murmured in my hair.
"I thought you liked fish?"
"Strawberries are my second favorite."
"I thought that was milk or chocolate"
"Why must you be difficult?" he wondered aloud.
"'Cuz I am."
We stood there like that looking at the night sky.
"Is this what it feels like to truly like someone? Sasuke just asked me out and I said yes without even knowing my own feelings about him. This feeling… It's so warm… My heartbeat's speeding up just being so close to him. Please Kami-sama, let this last for a while."
"This reminds me of when we were little. We used to lie down in the grass and fall asleep under the stars," Ikuto said softly.
"Can we do it again sometime?"
"Of course."
I hummed the tune of I'm Only Me When I'm with You (by Taylor Swift). Then Ikuto's breathing became faster and uneven. He let go of me instantly.
"Are you okay Ikuto?"
"Yea, I just need to be alone for a second." He turned around and left. I was worried so I followed him after counting to ten. He went upstairs to an empty room. I was about to go in when I saw Rei coming. I quickly hid behind a potted plant as she rushed into his room. I could hear them talking.
"Ikuto! Where've you been? I've been looking all over for you!" Rei exclaimed.
By the sound of his voice, I could tell that Rei was squeezing the life out of Ikuto.
"Rei… how long are you going to keep this up?"
"Keep what up?"
"It seems you haven't gotten my hints yet…"
"What are you talking about?"
"Let me tell this to you straight… I am not in love with you. I am in love with another girl."
"Hahaha! Nice joke! Seriously, what are you talking about?"
"I am in love with another girl."
"B-But I thought you loved me."
"I have never in my life seen you more than a friend."
"That's so harsh, but I guess there's no other way to break it to her…"
"Fine! Then you owe me something for this!"
"Owe you what?"
"A name! Who's the girl you love!?"
"… She doesn't know this so don't blame her. I love Yuki. I've loved her ever since we were kids"
"W-What!? I thought he said that he loves me like a sister only! I thought… I thought… B-but why'd he lie to me? Don't tell me he was too nice to let me go through all that pain that I was in! Oh my God, he was!"
I could hear Rei coming out of the room and I quickly rushed to get away, but Kami-sama just had to give me bad luck. Before I knew it, I had run into a maid holding a tray of sauce and it got all over my dress as I fell.
"Great! Now my dress is ruined! I guess that means I can't go back to the wedding. I don't have another dress!"
"What happened?" Rei asked Ikuto from inside the room.
"Let's go check it out."
"Crap! I can't let them know that I was eavesdropping on them!"
I scrambled to my feet and ran to my room. I kicked my platforms off before I went inside and slammed the door shut.
"That was close…"
I grabbed a night gown and went into the bathroom. I took a shower and carefully placed the dress in the laundry basket.
"Sorry Okaa-san. I got your dress dirty."
When I came out, a familiar figure stood by the balcony.
"You should learn to lock this door," the guy said.
"What are you doing here!?" I hissed. "You traitor! I trusted you but you betrayed me!"
"If I told you why, you wouldn't believe me."
"'Course I won't! You broke my heart, Sasuke! What do you want with me?"
"I just wanted to do something I should have done a long time ago. I'm leaving with your uncle soon."
"Crap! Is he going to kill me? He wouldn't! Would he?"
Sasuke came closer and I slowly backed away. Then I broke into a run for the door but he beat me to it. He pushed me against a wall and pinned my wrists over my head using one hand.
"If you're going to kill me, do it already."
"Why would I kill you?" Sasuke asked curiously.
"Don't act innocent! My uncle wants be dead and you, being his lackey, are going to follow his orders and kill me!"
"That's now what I meant when I said that I wanted to do something that I should've done a long time ago."
"Yea right," I said sarcastically. "Then what do you want to do?"
"This."
He leaned in closer to my face and captured my lips. I struggled to break free of his grasp but his grip was too strong. I felt his tongue lick my lips but I kept my mouth closed tightly. His other hand lightly touched my inner thigh and I gasped. He took the opportunity to explore my mouth. Before he could do much, I bit his tongue. He pulled away instantly and looked at me with an amused expression.
"I've never seen the feisty side of you before, but I'll get my way with you one way or another," Sasuke grinned as I looked at him furiously.
He lightly brushed my inner thigh again and although I tried not to, I gasped again as he explored my mouth. Before I could bite his tongue, he rubbed the roof of my mouth and earned a moan.
When he pulled away I asked, "How'd you know?"
"To be honest, I've seen you and Ikuto French kiss before so I know."
"You spied on us!"
"I can't believe the fool is using you for his own needs."
"He can use me as long as he wants! I owe it to him!"
"Why?"
"He always takes care of me and respects my wishes. Not only that but he puts me before himself unlike you!"
I could see the envy in Sasuke's eyes.
"Jealous?" I smirked.
"Not for long. I'll be taking your virginity soon and then who'll be the one who's jealous?"
My eyes widened in horror as he captured my lips again.
"Ikuto! Save me! Please!"
His tongue was rubbing the roof of my mouth again as I felt his free hand slide under my dress.
"OH GOD, NO!"
I was on the verge on tears when Ikuto came into the room.
"Hey Yuki, why aren't you at the wed—" he trailed off as soon as he saw me on the verge of tears and Sasuke's hand was halfway up my dress. Ikuto flew into a fury and kicked Sasuke across the room.
"Get out!" Ikuto snarled.
"Ikuto!" I sobbed as I clung to the back of his shirt. "I was so scared!"
He removed my hands from the back of his shirt, turned around, and hugged me.
"It's alright, I'm here now," he murmured. "No one's going to hurt you ever again as long as I'm here."
I clung onto his shirt and sobbed into his chest as he kissed my forehead. He slightly turned his head around and growled, "What are you still doing here you bastard!? Get out already!"
Sasuke saw the fire in Ikuto's eyes and scrambled away. I stopped crying but I was still shivering. Ikuto lifted my chin up with a finger and kissed me gently. It was different from all the other kisses. The others were full of lust and need, but this one… This one was sweet and gentle. I gently kissed him back. He pulled away and smiled as he wiped away the remaining tears.
"I'm the luckiest girl alive to have a big brother like you," I whispered as I laid my head against his chest.
"Would a brother kiss you?" Ikuto teased.
"Shut up," I slightly smiled. "Crap! Why'd I have to say brother? I don't even think of him as a brother. I'm… I'm… I'm in love with him. Forgive me Kami-sama for breaking my vow but I am in love and nothing can change that."
