"Tsukasa-sama. Madam wants to see you."

All heads turned to see Tsukasa's reaction. His handsome face twisted into a scowl and whatever sadness or tenderness in his eyes a few seconds ago were replaced by frustration.

Anyone can see Tsukasa's hate for his dear mother.

She's never been there for him, no even through his hard times in life. So why did she barged into his life right now? He knew nothing good will come out from her.

"I'll be there in a minute."

He knew nothing good would come out of her too, if he disobeyed. He could have refused.

But no.

Not now when he had someone to protect.

He looked down at his savior and leaned down to kiss her forehead gently.

"Wait for me, I'll be back soon." He smiled and turned to face Rui.

"Take care of her for me, Rui."

Rui nodded. Shigeru chocked back a sob and gave a slight smile at Tsukasa. "Ja ne. Come back soon!" Tsukasa nodded and disappeared through the door.

"Come in."

Tsukasa stepped into his mother's office, a serious expression pasted on his face. "Okaasan."

Domyouji Kaede looked up from her paperworks and stood up from her desk. She started walking towards Tsukasa. On instinct, he took a defencive step back. "Is there anything I can do for you?" His voice clearly showed that he meant bussiness.

"Definately."

She reached out and took a file placed on the coffee table and gave it to him. He opened it and saw a profile inside.

A profile of a girl.

He closed it and glared at the woman. "What do you mean by this!?" Kaede ignored his glare and focused her strictly-meant-bussiness coffee brown eyes to Tsukasa's. "That's not the way to talk to your mother, Tsukasa."

"I don't care. What do you mean by this!?" He repeated his question, more forcefully this time.

His opponent smirked.

"Kirashi Yume. The daughter of Kirashi Cooperation, one of the richest family international."

"What does that have to do with me!?"

Kaede chuckled, but her eyes showed no laughter. "Dense, aren't you? That Makino must have washed out your brains." She jumped a little but soon regained her composure as Tsukasa slammed his fists on the coffee table, leaving a hole in the middle.

"I will not allow anyone to talk negetively about her! What do you want, shoot!" His voice could almost freeze water into ice, his gaze as cold as ever.

"I want you to marry Kirashi Yume."

"You know I would never."

She chuckled again. "Yes, I know. But this is no suggestion." She hardened her tone. "It's an order." She paused a little before continuing. "Though that Makino's household is rich, but compared to Kirashi's, she's nothing but a little rat."

"She.is.not.a.little.rat "

Tsukasa's voice lowered dangerously, the edge of his tone was as sharp as ever. "She's my light. I don't care if it's an order. I will not give in to you. Ever." With that, the door slammed shut, leaving Kaede with a smile that never reached her eyes.

"I'll show you, Tsukasa, orders can never be disobeyed."
