We're getting close to Friends Day. Natsume wants to be free from Tsukumo. She just has to wait for Momo to finish. Not only that, we're getting to part 4. Things are going to change. Toma is getting a lot of attention. I want to give Minami attention too, but as of now… not yet. Mitsuki will get one once Natsume is free.
Natsume arrived at ZOOL's next job. The next one on the list was going to Re:vale's Show. This is going to be a difficult one. She can't interact with Re:vale while ZOOL is here. They will be suspicious. Re:vale is no fool to fall for ZOOL's trap. She has to play it out and let Re:vale do their things on ZOOL.
"Why are you standing here, Hayabusa-chan?" A voice from behind.
The empress sighed. This again. She feels tired of hearing his voice every time they run into each other like this.
"I was about to go in before you arrived, Minami." She replied as she turned behind her.
"Oh, shall we go in? After all, you are still our manager."
Natsume can't tell if Minami is being nice or what, but they are going to the same place. They walked in the building. They were heading towards the dressing room where ZOOL is.
"Where did you go?" Natsume asked. She didn't know where to start the conversation.
"I have some errands to take care." Minami replied.
It got quiet between the two. They don't know what to say to each other. They looked at each other and stared.
"Anyways, shall we get going?" She led the way. Minami was confused about what Natsume was doing. She was being nice out of nowhere. "They are probably wondering where you are, Minami."
He just trailed behind her.
They arrived at ZOOL's dressing room. Toma, Torao, and Haruka see them walking in the room together. Toma was wondering why Natsume arrived with Minami. He can feel his chest sting. He doesn't know what his feelings are, but watching Natsume being with Minami is making him feel jealous.
"Umm? Natsume can you go shopping with me?" Haruka asked.
Everyone was surprised. Natsume was wondering what Haruka wants her to go shopping with him. Haruka looked innocent when he asked her.
"Is there a reason why you ask me?" She asked.
"There's a good cake shop I want to go to. I don't want to go by myself. They will laugh at me." He replied.
The empress started to think about it. Minato did tell her that Haruka likes sweets, but chose Natsume over Minami. Minami would say something rude to him.
She crossed her arms and sighed. "I'll go, but are you sure?" Haruka nodded. "I thought you don't trust me."
"You're the only I can ask." He said, leaving a hint of a sad voice. Haruka was showing that he was being scolded by someone.
"It's like Haruka is attracted to Natsume or something. That is rare. He doesn't even trust her." Torao said.
"I think it is cute. I never thought that Isumi-san would ask Hayabusa-chan to go with him." Minami said.
Toma didn't know what to say. It was making him jealous. Haruka is taking the spotlight from him. He wanted to pout, but it would make them laugh at him.
"It is kind of nice for Natsu to go with Haru." Toma said, hiding a hint of jealousy.
Natsume laughed. She knows that Toma is jealous of Haruka. Maybe she can tease when it is over. She forgot that she is with ZOOL and they are going to be in Re:vale's show. The empress was wondering what ZOOL has in mind for them.
"You guys are going to greet Re:vale during their show." Natsume said.
Torao huffed. "Toma just wants to talk to them. Minami, you worked with Yuki before, correct?"
Minami nodded. "I have."
"What kind of person is he?" Toma asked.
"Let's not get into details about Yuki. He's just another person that you guys have to deal with. That's it." Natsume didn't want to hear them talk about Yuki.
Of course, Minami did work with Yuki and Yamato as an actor. Natsume was thinking how it feels to work with Minami. She can cut off his spiteful personality. It's going to be an interesting experience for her.
"Is there a reason why, Hayabusa-chan?" Minami asked, staring at Natsume. He was trying to read her body language. Nothing he can guess out of her.
The empress shrugged. "It's a feeling that we don't need to talk about Re:vale. I understand you guys want to know them. How about you guys learn about them?"
"How are we going to find their weak point?" Torao was trying to get Natsume to speak up.
"I don't look at me. It's like you are forcing me to speak for you."
"You know, Natsume. Sometimes, I always wonder what you've been doing for the past few days."
Natsume noticed that Torao was catching on to her. She has to find a way out of this situation. Torao is a smart person to know her well. Maybe Toma can cover her, but how can he do that? Toma noticed Natsume was being cornered by Torao. He needs to break off this conversation before it goes bad.
Toma was about to speak up until Haruka spoke up.
"What about Ryo's friend?"
"You mean the 1111 guy?" Torao replied.
"You mean Momo? What about him?" Natsume asked, tilting her head.
Minami looked at Natsume observing. "Do you know him, Hayabusa-chan?"
She shrugged and replied, "Who doesn't know Re:vale and their names. They are popular idols."
"There's no point greeting them. They are the number one idols here. We can devour them like how we did with TRIGGER and IDOLiSH7." Torao was ready to hunt down his prey.
"That would mean there will be no one left to take your spot." Natsume crossed her arms as she rolled her eyes.
"Did you guys see the ranking in the magazine?" Torao asked the member of ZOOL.
Toma remembered. "Yeah. Tora is #1 and Mina #2. How come I didn't rank at all!?"
"Did I lose to Mido-san?" Minami mumbled himself.
Natsume heard Minami and said, Oh, you jealous of Tora being the #1 desired man, Minami." She whispered.
Minami looked at Natsume and smiled. "Sometimes there are some things that frustrates me."
The empress knew what Minami meant. He was talking about her. It was showing Minami true colors. Natsume chuckled.
"Enjoy it while you can." She casually smiled.
Minami started to be warely of Natsume. "You are one cruel person."
Natsume heard that phrase from Minami. She wanted to smirk, but it would be too obvious. Minami is on to her. She has to avoid saying her phrase.
"Am I a cruel person, Minami?" She asked.
"From the tone of your voice. I can tell. I'm an actor." He replied, bluntly smiling.
"That smile is nothing more than a joke."
Minami had nothing else to say to her. There was no way to know what she was doing. He looked at Toma who has a little knowledge about Natsume.
Haruka broke the atmosphere and said, "Enjoy yourself. Once I get around your age, I'll be the one who will take the spotlight."
They all looked at Haruka.
"Whatever you say."
Natsume walked out of ZOOL's dressing room. Toma watched her as she left. He was wondering if she is going to meet up with Re:vale. He has to be careful to not expose Natsume. Toma doesn't want Natsume to leave. He wanted her to be there with him.
The empress arrived at Re:vale's Dressing Room. She knocked on the door hoping they would respond. The door opened. Yuki was the one who opened the door. He smiled as he saw Natsume. They give each other a nod.
Momo popped his head and waved at Natsume. She waved back at Momo. They nodded at each other. Natsume leaves the area and heads to the studio.
"Will Natsume-chan be alright?" Yuki asked.
Momo nodded. "Of course! Don't underestimate the White Empress, Yuki. She's the master of taming. If Natsume-chan can tame ZOOL then Tsukumo won't have anyone else to go too."
Yuki smiled. "You're right, Momo. She is no fool."
"We just have to play along with her words." Momo changed the topic about a certain someone they know. He was hoping if Yuki remembered. "Anyways, you remembered Toma Inumaru?"
Yuki was confused. "Who's that?"
Momo laughed. "You're terrible remembering faces. If you talk to him, he'll be happy. Anyone gets happy if you remember them."
Natsume returned back to the studio where ZOOL is waiting for Re:vale to arrive. She feels exhausted about everything. Toma was about to go up to her to talk, but then Re:vale arrived before he could go to her.
"How are you today, ZOOL? I hope you guys have fun." Momo smiled as he waved to them.
ZOOL perked up as they heard Momo speak.
"We? Have fun?" Haruka crossed his arms then huffed. He thought that Momo thinks ZOOL would have fun with the fans. "Please. We are here for one reason."
The oldest member of ZOOL placed his hand on his chin and stared at Momo. "For a celebrity like you, I can't believe that you have the dumbest password."
Toma walked up to Re:vale with confidence on his face. "It has been a while, hasn't it, Re:vale?"
Minami was surprised when Toma said that with a face like that. "Inumaru-san, you are being over confident."
The empress was puzzled. She didn't know why Toma is acting confident towards Re:vale. She doesn't know anything about ZOOL's past. Natsume was trying to stay away from the conversation. The suspension will raise on her if they know.
"I won't treat you guys special just because you won Black or White." Toma frowned.
Yuki looked at Toma and smiled. "You're Toma from NO_MAD."
The Leader of ZOOL feels happy from the inside. He didn't want to show it towards his members, but from his emotion. They can hear it from his voice.
"You… remembered me? Yuki remembered… me."
"Of course, I remembered."
Toma looked down at the floor and said, "Oh, I see."
Every member of ZOOL looked at Toma. They were upset at him.
"Why are you getting all emotional?" Torao asked, frowning.
"I can't believe you fall for that. How lame, Toma." Haruka huffed.
Minami smiled. "I heard that you are good friends with Ryo-san, Momo-san. He tells us about you often.
Momo smiled back. "That's not good. Let's enjoy ourselves with the fans. They are excited to see you guys on our show."
"I don't care much about it. I'll just wing it." Haruka scoffed. He didn't care much about the fans or Re:vale's show. He wants it to be over with.
"Already? That's not the kind of show that the audience wants. I want the audience to feel us."
The youngest member was confused. "What the hell? Are there butterflies in your brain?"
Momo laughed. "Probably there are. Wait, Yuki."
Haruka laughed.
"Is that a bit rude?" Yuki asked Haruka.
"Yuki, we are still in that phrase." Momo was telling Yuki about the plan.
Yuki remembered. "Of course, we need to stick with that."
"Hearing this conversation sounds scary." Toma felt shiver down on his spine.
"It doesn't sound scary. We know their weak points. Thanks to Ryo-san." Torao frowned. "If you let us take over, we don't need to hunt you."
Yuki stared at Torao. It was like he was hunting Torao instead.
"I can't wait to work with you." Momo kept his smile.
Natsume was watching everything that was happening. She didn't want to but in. It would cause suspicion. She was like a third party listening to the conversation. The empress noticed that someone was glaring on her. She looked up and saw that the platinum blonde haired was staring at her.
Minami still has eyes on the empress. His eyes were aware of her. Natsume frowned as Minami smirked. She knows everything behind that smile. Minami sent her a message using direct eye contact. The white-haired empress frowned then rolled her eyes.
Momo noticed that Minami and Natsume are staring at each other. He was trying to figure out their atmosphere.
Toma turned to Natsume and Minami watching them. They were biting each other again, but he couldn't understand what they were doing. There was no talking but eye contact. He wishes he understood the situation from the two of them.
Natsume was in the backstage watching the show. She was staring at ZOOL who wasn't responding to Re:vale's questions. This isn't going to make the audiences happy. Of course, Momo and Yuki knew this was going to happen.
The empress sighed lightly. "Re:vale has to force themselves to use jokes to break the silence. ZOOL are stubborn."
Commercial break has started. Re:vale and ZOOL came to the backstage. ZOOL was still silent.
"You know ZOOL-san, you are being rude to your fans. At least, appreciate your fans being here." Momo scolded them as he smiled.
Haruka crossed his arms and huffed. "Your fans have nothing to do with you. We do whatever we want with them."
"But it concerns us. They too are our fans. You're in Re:vale's show. I thought you guys were here to devour us."
"Were we correct?"
Momo shook his head. "You guys are here to cause trouble to everyone. It's worthless to be winning on your opponent by annoying them." Momo smiled. "That's the end of my lesson for today. I'm going to throw you questions when we're back on the show. It will be a wild ride. So, be ready."
Minami was a little concerned. "That's enough to convenience us."
Torao shrugged. "You're right, but we were able to see them panic for a while."
Natsume knows Momo how to give a shove on ZOOL's throat. She chuckled softly as she was watching. Toma was too quiet from everything. He didn't know what to say since Yuki remembered him.
Momo looked at Natsume giving her a message. She gave him a guilty face. He apologized to her. The empress told him to have fun with ZOOL. She leaves the backstage.
The platinum blonde haired turned to Natsume who left the backstage to the dressing room. He was puzzled about what she was going to do.
The show was over. Natsume returns back to ZOOL's dressing room and sees that Momo and ZOOL are talking to each other. It seems that she missed a lot of things while she was gone. She walked up to them to hear the conversation.
"I'll give you my contract if you need anything. Ryo-san is a bigger nasty man than you guys think. There will be no one for you guys to go too." Momo gave a piece of paper of his number. He warned ZOOL about Ryo's antics. He wants to help them to understand what he is.
ZOOL isn't going to fall for Momo's word. They won't believe what he said. They are under Tsukumo's protection. Until something unexpected happened.
"I'll take it I guess." Toma said.
Every ZOOL member looked at Toma with a surprised face. They didn't think he would say that. They think Toma became soft, because of his old self.
"Toma!" Torao called his name surprisingly.
Momo handed over his contract to Toma and smiled at them. "Thank you for joining the show. You guys give us a good performance out there."
"Are you trying to be a victim here?" Minami asked curiously, glaring at Momo.
Momo laughed sarcastically. "Of course. You can use me when you feel like it." He leaves then waves at them. "See you guys later! Great job out there!"
They watched as Momo left. Momo gave Natsume an eye contact as he walked past her. She too gave eye contact back. It was quiet in the dressing room until Toma broke it with a sigh.
He stared at the piece of paper that Momo gave him. Toma was too busy thinking about BoW. "I wanted to talk to them about music… about BoW. There's a lot of questions I want to ask them."
Haruka scoffed. "Stop being lame, Toma. Throw away that contact. Ryo-san will have your head."
Toma was about to speak until Torao jumped in.
"It can't be helped. Toma did lose to TRIGGER before. Of course, he will act like this." Torao frowned.
The Leader of ZOOL got a little angry. "What did you say?"
Minami sighed. "Can you save your pity argument later? I haven't left yet. I'm also tired. So, don't try to make me irritated." He was about to be angry at the others.
The empress didn't stop the conversation between ZOOL. She was surprised to hear Minami's scary side. Haruka was mumbling to himself. Natsume heard him talking about Tsukumo. Something about Tsukumo that he doesn't pay attention to Haruka. She has to keep as a reminder. It was interesting to hear that from Haruka. Maybe she can help him.
Everyone left the dressing room. Natsume and Toma stay behind. Toma was still feeling emotional from everything. The white-haired empress walked up to Toma and touched his cheeks. Toma flinched when Natsume touched his cheek. He was surprised she did that.
"Are you okay?" She asked.
He sighed lightly. "I don't know. I want to talk to Re:vale, but… I can't think straight." Toma facepalmed.
"You have all the time to talk to Re:vale. It doesn't matter when or where you start. They will be happy if you did talk to them."
Toma looked at the empress dumbfounded. "You think so?"
She nodded. "They know how to make their fans happy."
The red-haired rubbed the back of his head. "It sounds like you know about idols yourself. Is it because your The Wh-"
Natsume covered his mouth with her hands. "Don't casually say that. They will figure who I am. Minami will 100%." She removed her hands from Toma's mouth.
He forgot that he was supposed to keep that a secret. "Sorry."
The empress shook her head. "No. It's fine. Anyways, tomorrow is ZOOL day off. What are you going to do?"
Toma started to smile. He was excited to take them there. "I was planning to take them to a cafe." Natsume was confused. Toma moved his hand on his pocket and showed it to her. That first, she thought they were tickets to a concert, but they ain't the type to go to a concert as a group. "These are coupons!"
"Coupons? What are they for?"
"It's for the butler cafe. They give it to me. I couldn't resist."
Natsume couldn't help but smile. "You can't say no to them. You are the type who would pick up an abandoned puppy."
The Leader of ZOOL started to blush when he saw Natsume smile. It was making him all warm inside. It was too cute to resist him. He was trying to get his composure back.
"Y-You really think so?"
"Yeah. So, are you going to call Momo to tell him everything that Tsukumo is doing?"
He nodded. "Yeah. In secret. I can't let Ryo-san know that I'm doing this behind his back. He will have my head. The promise will be cut off." Toma can feel his body shaking. He doesn't know if he wants to do this or not.
Natsume touched Toma's cheek once again. Toma looked at her. Her touch was calming him down. His body stopped shaking as he was enjoying the moment of Natsume touching his cheeks.
The white empress moved her hands away from the dark red-haired cheeks. "Better?"
Toma smiled. "Thank you, Natsu. You are really something. I envy them."
Natsume blinked in surprise. She didn't think Toma would be jealous of Clash. She chuckled. "They are my boys. To think that you would say something like that."
He blushed in embarrassment as he rubbed the back of his head. "I d-didn't mean it like that."
She booped Toma's nose. Toma was puzzled why Natsume did that.
"I got to do that, because you were being cute."
Toma blushed even redder like red pepper. She called him cute again. He can't help it. What does he have that is making Natsume attractive to him? He wants to know, but who can be watching them. He decided to change the topic.
"So, yo-you want to join us tomorrow to the butler cafe?" The Leader of ZOOL has his head turned away from the empress.
"Sure, but are you sure about this?" She was worried.
Toma nodded. "Of course! I want to spend time with them. This is the time I can understand the others."
She wasn't too unsure if the others would enjoy spending time together. "If you say so…"
Toma looked at Natsume wondering what she was worried about. He tries to cheer her up. "Don't worry, Natsu! I believe it!" He is confident it will work.
"I'll be going back to my apartment. I'll see you tomorrow." Natsume walked past Toma.
He didn't want Natsume to leave. Toma wants to spend time with her."Umm… Natsume?"
The empress turned around and asked, "What is it?"
Toma didn't know what to say. He was too nervous to tell her. "Do… you want to go and e-eat?"
Natsume chuckled. "Are you asking me on a date, Toma?"
Toma blushed. "Well… I don't think I would call it a date. I want to know more about you."
"Sooo, you're rejecting a girl."
The Leader of ZOOL shook his head. "Not too you."
"But you just did." Natsume pouted.
"I'm sorry." He apologized.
Natsume smiled. "I'm kidding. Let's go and eat. Where are we going to eat?"
Toma started to think. "Umm…" He has no idea where they are going to eat.
"I know where we can eat at. Follow me." She left the dressing room. Toma trailed behind.
They arrived at a restaurant. Toma looked around the place. The food smelled great and the sound of sizzling meat. There was a chef who cutted the meat into small pieces. It was a small restaurant, but there was a decent amount of service and people here.
The chef looked at the entrance of the door and smiled at a familiar face. "Ooh, Natsume-chan! How are you?!"
The empress smiled back. "I'm doing fine. Thanks."
The chef looked at Toma and smirked. Toma was dumbfounded about what the chef is smudging for. The chef looked back at Natsume.
"You brought yourself a boyfriend."
Toma blushed when he heard 'boyfriend'. "Umm… we…"
Natsume chuckled. "You can say that, but he asked me to go out for lunch. Don't think we are."
"Of course not, but anything can happen."
"You are right about that. Anyways , you know the usual." she walked to a table and sat down. Natsume took out her phone and looked through the media.
"Coming right up!"
Toma walked Natsume and sat across from her. He was surprised that Natsume knows the chef here. "What is this place, Natsu?"
She averted away from her phone and looked at Toma. "This is a yakiniku restaurant. I come here all of the time when I'm hungry or need some alone time. It helps me a lot thanks to the chef here. He's a good person to know."
Toma didn't know Natsume would come to this restaurant. "Oh…," he didn't know what to say next. From his view, it looks like Natsume was struggling for ZOOL to understand each other. The others are like ferocious animals. "How long are you going to stay with us?" Toma was worried.
The chef gave Natsume her usual order. He also gave Toma the same order as Natsume. Toma looked at the food on the plate. Natsume picked her chopsticks, picked the meat, and placed it on the grill to cook. Toma did the same thing. The empress was happy that her meat was being grilled. Toma watched her. He had never seen her this happy before. It was cute. He couldn't help but stare.
Natsume turned her smile into a frown. "Who knows. I can't say for sure," she flipped her meat to cook the other side. "I can't say too many secrets to you."
Toma was shocked. "But… I thought you trust me."
The empress sighed deeply. "Not much. Tsukumo will force you to speak. You are still afraid of him… sadly."
The dark red-haired flinched. He stared at the table with an upset face. It felt like this heart just tore into two when Natsume said that.
"So-sorry." He apologized.
"No need to apologize," she said as she picked up her cooked meat. "Since you have Momo's number, I have gained some trust from me. Minami is already catching up my plans." Natsume ate the piece of meat.
Toma was happy he got some trust. He doesn't have the full trust from the empress yet. He did a lot of unnecessary things while she was there. "I hope it lasts a little longer." He whispered.
Natsume heard something from Toma. "You said something?"
Toma looked up and waved his hands defensively. "N-No. It's nothing important."
She picked the meat that Toma was cooking. Natsume handed over the meat to his mouth to feed him. The Leader of ZOOL was caught by surprise. Natsume smiled. He stared at the meat then opened his mouth to eat the meat.
"How adorable." She chuckled.
Toma almost choked on the meat. It was too cute of him to hear her say that. He grabbed a glass of water and drank the whole thing.
"Don't say that. I'm n-not adorable." He blushed furiously as he averted from Natsume.
"Let us enjoy the food before they go bad." She added all of her meat on the grill. Toma nodded.
Natsume was returning back to her apartment. She felt something uneasy around the atmosphere, like someone is watching her. The air was getting noticeable to know who it was.
"How long are you going to hide, Minami?" She frowned. Minami came out of his spot and smiled. Natsume scoffed. "What are you? My stalker?"
"Oh… I will never be your stalker." He said as he walked towards her. "I want to know what you and Inumaru-san were talking about."
The empress glanced at Minami. "So, you were following. You are a stalker indeed."
"You know Re:vale," Minami stopped in front of Natsume then bluntly smiled. "Ryo-san would be happy to hear this, but he thinks he got you in a cage. I'm also curious about something."
The empress frowned. "What are you curious about?"
"You can't be The White Empress?"
Natsume wasn't shocked by him guessing correctly. She wanted to know where he got that information. "Where did you hear that?"
"I heard about The White Empress when I was young. I heard she was a beautiful white haired woman. She disappeared when at a young age and never returned. I always wanted to meet with the empress for a long time. You have that description." Minami explained.
"How do you know if I am The White Empress or not," Natsume doesn't want to expose herself as The White Empress yet. She has to think of something for him to believe, but Minami isn't the type to believe her. "There could be other people that can be The White Empress."
Minami smirked. She fell for his trap. "But you're the only white-haired woman I've seen. You're lying. You're The White Empress."
"You think that Tsukumo would listen to you?" Natsume crossed her arms. She threatened him.
The young actor frowned. "I can convince him, but he is too busy simping for Nanase-san. I doubt he won't have time to listen to me."
"What can you do? I think Ryo is a fan of Riku if he likes listening to his songs. Everyone has secrets they like to keep." The white empress shrugged as she curved her brows.
"You are right about that, but I have to talk to Inumaru-san. He is easier to go through than you." Minami leans closer to Natsume's face as he smiles.
"You are a devil snake. I can see why people are afraid of your smiles. You know how to intimidate them with words."
They looked at each other in the eyes. Natsume can see something in Minami's eyes. They were a mixture of anger and sorrow. She understands what he has been through. His body doesn't know how to cry with real feelings. Some day he will cry into tears.
Minami leaned away from Natsume then walked past her. "I'll see you later, Hayabusa-chan."
She watched as Minami left. She was remembering what Haruki said to her. A flashback appeared of her and Haruki talking together.
"Huh? You want me to watch him?" Natsume was dumbfounded why Haruki asked her.
Haruki smiled as he nodded. "You know I can't stay with them forever. I won't last long in this world. I want to see them again before I leave."
"Do you have faith to see them again?" The empress was worried about his condition.
"I do. Time will tell sooner or later, Natsume."
"They don't know where you are. They will search for you everywhere in Northmare. Knowing your condition you are in, you are depressed to see your apprentices."
Haruki laughed weakly. "You are too my apprentice. You are a skilled songwriter. The songs you wrote for Clash are amazing."
Natsume felt happy when she heard that. "Thank you, Haruki. You were Zero's composer. I'm glad that I was able to hear it."
"You're welcome," Haruki started to cough. Natsume was about to give Haruki his medicine, but he used his arms to stop her. "I'm fine. Don't worry."
She sighed lightly. "You are reckless."
"I might be reckless, but my skill as a songwriter will pass on to the next generation," Haruki remembered something. "Can you do something for me?"
Natsume was puzzled about what Haruki wants her to do. "What is it?"
"Can you watch Minami for me?" Haruki looked through the window, watching the snow falling down.
"Why me?" She asked.
"He might have changed when I rejected him to come back to Japan. His hate for me might cause him a lot of suffering. Minami cherished me when he stayed with me. I was happy to have someone to keep me company. You are the one who can change him." He explained smiling.
The empress rubbed her forehead. She can't believe he is making her do it. "That is a lot of work to do. Minami is a prodigy actor. There's no way I can do it with his expert acting skills."
"You too are an actor yourself. Maybe the two you will meet up somewhere. I have faith in you."
"You have too much confidence, Haruki, but I will do for your sake." Natsume promised.
"Thank you. I hope that the two of you will get along." He bowed.
The flashback ended back to Natsume heading back to her apartment. She sighed lightly that Minami is one of the hardest to get through. He's acting skills are no joke. She has to keep that promise to Haruki.
"When this is over, things will be rough on ZOOL. They will pay the price of taking down my boys. I'll make no promises of that."
I'm finally done! I have sooo lazy lately that I lost interest on this story, but I'm keeping my faith in this story. Thank you for staying with me! The chapters will be updating slowly.
