Chapter thirteen: Not so fast!

            Even Sendoh was amazed. I thought she said this girl has always bullied her? Sendoh thought. Sakura dropped her jaw, and shook her head. Then she stood up.

"Shigan! What are you talking about?!" She said with a demanding voice.

"What? Just because I already have friends, that doesn't mean I can't have more!"

"But you didn't tell us about this! You didn't trust us at all!!"

"What?!! I didn't say that! You…!"

Kyande already stopped Shigan's next words. She knew that her words were so violent. How won't she know that? She experienced it.

"Ma. Ma. So, Shigan, look at the foods! They're so delicious! Why don't we eat! WOW! I can't believe there's still a pizza left!" She said and finally forgot about the problem. She sat next to Megumi and Shigan sat next to Kyande.

"ITADAKAMISU!" She yelled cheerfully, raised the pizza and ate.

Megumi can't eat because Shigan was so close to her. She promised her self never to talk to her. EVER! Now, she can't believe she's right there, close to her. Kyande was enjoying her pizza when Megumi suddenly came to her senses and discovered what Kyande was eating.

"You… You! Why are you eating that?!" She said while trying to get the pizza out of her hands.

"Ahh…. Ah… ACK! Megumi! I bit my tongue!" She said. She was trying to eat the pizza while Megumi was trying to take it away. That's how it happened.

"Do you have any idea how greasy and fatty this food is?! You…! You disobeyed me behind my back!" Megumi said.

"Oi, oi, Megumi. I can only eat greasy foods whenever I'm alone! My mother and father won't let me eat this! So, please!!!" She said and begged Megumi.

"No… You…" she was about to say another word when someone started to scream like mad. When they looked at it, there was a man yelling at Shigan. Shigan was bowing repeatedly. But still, the man was screaming at her. Kyande and Megumi looked at each other, feeling somewhat sorry for Shigan. And then, Kyande bit her lip and stood up.

"Sir, is there any problem?" She politely asked.

"Yes, there is! This girl spilled some juice… on an antique figuring!" He said furiously and pointed at Shigan. Kyande went to the man and started to negotiate.

"If this is really antique, you know this shouldn't be at the table where this could be damaged." She said.

"What?! And how're we supposed to attract people without this?!"

"Okay, let's say you're 'right'. So, don't worry. I'll pay for that."

"Pay for this?! No way! My great, great, super great ancestor made this! And who are you to stand over me?! I'm the manager!"

"So what?! My father can buy your stupid cottage! Or maybe even the hotel! Do you know who I am?!"

When she said the last word, she dropped a large amount of blood. The manager raised his eyebrow and placed his hands on his waist.

"So, who are you?!" He said, with his moustache reaching his nose.

"I'm a Rukawa. And my father is a very successful business man. If you want me to recite all of his business, then I won't be able to finish today!"

Sheesh. For once I never thought that being a Rukawa isn't that bad. She thought.

"Well, I don't care, young lady! You pay this antique figuring with the price of the hotel or you become a servant for the whole six hours and your father won't lose the people's respect for him because of you!!!" He yelled. Then she answered fearlessly. She picked the second choice. Mitsui stood up and was about to talk to Kyande about what she just did. But He can't. They argued. "Mitsui, how about you?! Why didn't you think about my feelings, being caught in the middle? Making decisions?! Do you know how hard it is to regret something? Do you know that I can't undo it once I regret it? You're selfish too! You didn't care about me… OR SHIGAN!" The words that Kyande said repeated to his mind and he froze, as he watched Sendoh talk to her.

"Kyande! Why did you do that?!" Sendoh said, yelling at Kyande.

"If I don't do that, then… Shigan won't be able to go to the prom. His father'll know about this and she'll be grounded."

"What? How did you know that?!" Sendoh again yelled at her.

"She told me! Friends don't hide to each other. Sendoh… could you do me a favor and just sit to your chair! If you don't respect my decision, then I'm sorry, I can't do anything about it!!!" She said.

Sendoh's eyes started to become teary. He can't believe that she's doing this. But of course, he didn't cry! What kind of muscular, basketball superstar is he? He imagined the vision of her working and he doesn't want that. He ran away in to the hotel and went to his room. Kyande already started with Megumi helping her. They were cleaning the figuring. And they were doing that for like, two hours! Megumi became tired and rested beside Kyande.

"Are you okay, Megumi? You know, you didn't have to help me. I can do this all by my self."

"Come on. Then, it'll be much harder if you are alone! What kind of friend will I be then?" She said and smiled. Then, they both laughed.

"Megumi…?"

"Yeah?"

"I feel like someone's watching us. I mean… from afar."

"Phew. I thought I'M the only one who imagined that."

Then, they both looked at each other and then looked at their back. Nobody was there. Then they continued on cleaning. Right after they finish the statue, they went on with cleaning the cottages.

"AH!!!" Kyande screamed. Megumi immediately ran to her and looked at her.

"H-Hey! What happened?" She worried for her friend.

"Happened? Oh… the screaming thing? Oh, it's nothing. I just screamed with joy. We only have one hour more."

Megumi closed her eyes and then slapped Kyande.

"ORO! Nanda?!" She said, touching her cheeks.

"You! I thought something happened! You worried me! But anyway, it's good. Because it's already twelve o'clock. Okay, I'll go clean the large kitchen while you clean these rooms that are listed over here." She said then showed Kyande the list. Then, with the broomstick and the feather duster, she went to the rooms. After she finished ten, she smiled and stretched her hands up.

"Ah… two more rooms to go and I'm finally at peace!"

Then, she went to the second to the last room she should clean. She was knocking, but nobody was answering. That's when she finally decided to use the keys that the manager gave her. When she placed the broomstick down, she heard someone talking, and she listened because she heard Sendoh's name.

"Sendoh!"

"Reina, you're the one I like."

"You're not really showing it to me, you know!" Then she heard her cry.

Reina? You're the one I… LIKE? What… maybe it's not Akira Sendoh. Maybe it's another Sendoh. How could Sendoh have an ex? His trait's not showing why!

Then with her full courage, she went to look at the couple. Her heart burst into tears, broke in to pieces, almost died, when she saw it was the Sendoh she knew, and the hardest part for her was, she saw them kissing each other.

Kyande cried. Because she stupidly loved Sendoh. Why didn't it occur to her that he already have someone? She cried silently, and it was really hard for her to do that because she can't let go of the emotions that are inside. She picked the broomstick up and went outside of the room. She ran to her room where she found Megumi already sleeping. She went to the bathroom. And then, she cried.

W-Who's Reina? Why didn't Sendoh tell me about her? How could he betray me? That stupid idiot! What's with him?! She looked at the mirror, she saw her face, and she thought that it was already perfect, thanks to her friends. Is there something about my appearance? Then she cried again, looking at her self on the mirror. Then, she saw her cellfone. She opened it and saw Kaede's name. She pushed the button and called Kaede.

"Hello?" Kaede's boring voice said.

"Kae-chan… how are you?" She asked as she smiled. Her smile was full of air that Kaede heard her.

"Is there something wrong?" He asked, without changing the tone of his voice. He wasn't THAT stupid not to know about when someone tries to hold back something.

"N-No. I'm… just having a competition with Megumi. We have to hold our breaths. We should try that sometimes. So, how are you?"

"I'm fine."

"You're not yet sleeping. Why?"

"Ayako and Ryota's here."

"They are? Can I talk to them?"

Kaede called Ryota first.

"Hello, Kyande, how're you?" Ryota said giggling.

"Oh, I'm fine. Thanks. How's it goin' with Aya-chan?"

"Oh… it's really fine. We had some time alone too."

"Really?! That's great!"

"Do you want to talk to Aya now?"

"Yes. Thanks."

Then, Ryota handed the phone to Ayako.

"KYANDE! I miss you."

"Aya-chan!!! I miss you too! How're you?"

"Oh, I'm fine. Megumi's sleeping."

"How's Mitsui?"

She frowned… and she didn't talk for a moment.

"Kyande, are you alright?"

"Oh, yeah, I'm fine. Just make sure you and Ryota get together!"

"Yeah. I'm going to give the phone to Kaede now."

"Yeah, thanks. Hello? Kaede?"

"Hey."

"Take care, okay?"

"Okay."

"Say 'thank you' to Ayako and Ryota for taking care of you. I love you VERY much. I miss you too. Buh-bye!"

"Love you. Bye."

Then they both hang up.

She went out of the room and finally slept with Megumi.
