Chapter 7
The following morning came. Sayuri got out of bed and sighed. She had tried very hard to sleep last night, but she kept having nightmares about being engaged with Rukawa Kaede, and ended up marrying him. In the nightmares, she is suffering, trying to take care of a dozen kitsune while Rukawa Kaede sleep and drool all over the place. Shaking away the thoughts, Sayuri yawned and walked into the bathroom.
Looking at the image of herself in the mirror, Sayuri sighed as she turned on the tap and started splashing water onto her face to keep herself awake. Her long black hair, which is usually smooth and beautiful, is sticking out in all directions, her crystal-like green eyes which could attract almost everyone's attention is looking lifeless and dull, with red shots because she had not slept well the previous night and around her eyes, there are dark rings.

Knock
"Sayuri! Have you woken up? It's nearly time for school!" Mrs. Mitsui shouted, knocking on Sayuri's bedroom door a couple of times before opening it and entering. Sayuri had changed into her school uniform and managed to comb her hair back to its normal state and tied it into a ponytail.
"I'm ready." Sayuri said, smiling.
"Go down for breakfast then. I'm going to wake up Hisashi now." Mrs. Mitsui said, smiling sweetly at Sayuri before leaving the room in a hurry to go to wake her son up. The smile on Sayuri's face vanished and a worried look cast on her face. She got out of her room while thinking hard on how she can call this thing off and bumped straight into his father.
Bam!
"Ite!" Sayuri exclaimed, falling on her backside.
"Watch where you are going Sayuri dear. Oh, remember to be back by seven tonight, okay? You do remember that there's a party today, don't you?" Mr. Asagiri asked.
"I know, dad." Sayuri said, standing up and fake a smile before walking towards the dinning room to eat her breakfast.
--
"Good morning, Sayuri." Mitsui mumbled as he entered the big dinning room with a long rectangular dinning table and sat down beside Sayuri.
"Morning." Sayuri said, glancing at Mitsui for a brief second before looking back at her breakfast.
"Argh! Mom just showed me the suit I have to wear this evening, it's simply too formal for my taste!" Mitsui complained before stuffing his mouth with food.
"I think maybe I should run away from this home." Sayuri said, sighing. She had not touched her food at all. Mitsui looked at her and shake his head.
"It's only an engagement. You might not even end up marrying him." Mitsui said.
"What if I have to marry him in the end?" Sayuri asked.
"You can always divorce. At least that's what always happens in the TV dramas." Mitsui said, smiling.
"TV dramas are not reliable. This is the real world, this is reality, not some stupid TV soap operas!" Sayuri exclaimed, frowning at Mitsui. Just then, the door of the dinning room opened and Mr. Asagiri and the NEW Mrs. Asagiri entered. Mrs. Asagiri beamed and sat down beside Mr. Asagiri, at the other end of the long table. Sayuri's smiled vanished once again as she stood up, ready to go to school. Mitsui finished up his last bit of breakfast and stood up too.
"Oh, the chauffeur should be waiting for the two of you now, I guess. Be sure to come back by seven! The chauffeur will be waiting outside your school gates to pick the two of you up!" Mr. Asagiri shouted across the big dinning room as the two teenagers leave the room.
"We will be late for school today." Mitsui said, looking at his watch.
"We won't be late." Sayuri said as the servants opened the big door for them. Parked in front of them is a limo, the chauffeur got out of the limo and opened the door of the limo for them to get in.
"Man, I can't believe this. We are actually going to go to school in a limo?" Mitsui asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Well, we won't be late this way." Sayuri said, getting into the limo.
--
The limo stopped right in front of Shohoku's front gate. Sayuri who had fell asleep finally since last night, woke up with a surprise expression on her face because she had totally forgotten that she is on a limo on her way to school. The chauffeur got out of the limo and opened the door for them. Mitsui got out first. Carrying her bag, Sayuri got out of the limo too. Every student at the front gate is staring at them as if they are some kind of alien.
Just as Sayuri walked through the front gate, ignoring the stares of others, a bike screeched to a stop beside her. Rukawa Kaede, who surprisingly did not fall asleep on his bike glared at her.
"Meet me up at the rooftop in ten minutes." Rukawa Kaede said before cycling away. Sayuri glared at him as he cycled out of her sight.
"What does he want, Sayuri?" Mitsui asked, looking at Sayuri.
"Meet him at the rooftop in ten minutes." Sayuri replied, walking into the school building and ran towards the stairs leading to the rooftop.
Running up the stairs, Sayuri reached the rooftop and opened the door. Rukawa is sitting in one corner, waiting for her.
"Why did you ask me to come up here?" Sayuri asked, walking over to Rukawa Kaede.
"Have you heard about us being engaged?" Rukawa asked, standing up.
"Uh huh, I've received the news from my dad last night." Sayuri said, looking coldly at Rukawa.
"I don't want you to be my fiancée." Rukawa said, glaring at Sayuri.
"You make it sound like I'm willing to." Sayuri said, the two of them glared at each other coldly.
"I didn't say that." Rukawa said coldly. The two of them glared at each other for a silence moment before Sayuri break the silence.
"Have you got any idea on how to cancel off this engagement?" Sayuri asked.
"No." Rukawa replied. Sayuri looked at the scenery underneath for a while, thinking hard, finally giving up, Sayuri heaved a sigh.
"We will have to get engaged tonight then." Sayuri said. Rukawa looked at her expressionlessly for a while before sitting down in one corner and started drifting off to Lala land. Sayuri stood near the railings and looked at the scenery for a very long time before going back to class.
--
After school, at the practice…
"Look at Rukawa-kun, he is so distracted today. What's wrong with him, Ayako?" Haruko asked as she looked at Rukawa Kaede who is not concentrating on practicing.
"I don't know. But he is not the only one distracted. Sayuri is distracted too. How unusual, both of them are always concentrating more than others but today they are both distracted." Ayako said.
"Yeah, how unusual…" Haruko mumbled, feeling kind of sad as she imagine them to be distracted because of some relationships problems.
--
After practice…
"Weird, why isn't that kitsune staying back today? He had finally realized that no matter how hard he tries, he will still lose to the tensai?" Sakuragi asked as Rukawa walked out of the changing room in his school uniform. Mitsui smiled and left the changing room too. Running to catch up with Rukawa Kaede, he managed to get to him before they reached the school gate.
"Hey Rukawa!" Mitsui shouted. Rukawa turned around and looked at Mitsui.
"Have you and Sayuri got a plan to ruin the engagement?" Mitsui asked.
"No." Rukawa replied coldly. Just as they reached the school gate, they saw two limos parked in front of the school, one of them is the one Mitsui and Sayuri arrive at school in. The door of the other limo opened and Rukawa's nanny got out of it.
"Young Master, we have to hurry home to get you changed before the going to the party. Where is Miss?" The nanny asked. Just then, Yuki and Sayuri arrived at the school gate. The nanny smiled and rushed up to Yuki.
"Hurry up, miss, you have to get home to change before the party." The nanny said.
"Oh, okay. This is Asagiri Sayuri." Yuki said, introducing Sayuri to the nanny as the nanny looked at Sayuri curiously.
"Miss Asagiri. Nice to meet you! Wait a minute! Ah! Miss Asagiri, young master's new fiancée!" The nanny exclaimed, looking shocked.
"Got to go. See you later." Sayuri said, immediately get into the limo before the chauffeur came out to open the door for her. Mitsui opened the door and got in too. And the next second, the limo hit the road at a very high speed.
--
"Sayuri! You are finally back. Quick, go and change now, the guests will be arriving very soon." Mrs. Asagiri said, pushing Sayuri, who had just entered the big main hall that was decorated grandly and elegantly for the party, to the staircase, up it, and down the hallway leading to her room. Once inside Sayuri's room, Mrs. Asagiri took the gown, which is lying on Sayuri's bed, hand it to Sayuri and pushed her into the bathroom.
It took Sayuri a long while before finally figure out how to wear the dress. It's a halter-neck dress, held up by two strings tied into a butterfly-knot (the way shoelaces are tied), it's black in colour and made of silk, it has a low v-cut in front and there's a rather high slit at the right side of the dress. After putting the dress on with much difficulty because Sayuri seldom wear dresses, or to be more precise, NEVER wore dresses since the age of three, and thus not very familiar with how to wear a dress, she looked into the mirror at her own reflection and gasped.
The dress fit her very well, so well that it totally hugs her body, showing the perfect curve of her body, which is always hidden behind the loose t- shirts she wears. What she don't like is the v-cut, it is too low and exposing too much flesh for her liking. The slit by the side is high, but luckily for Sayuri, she is tall and her legs are long, so the slit only reach up to eight inches above her knee, which is around twelve or more for shorter girls. She looked sexy.
+But… I'm not sexy. No, no way. I am not sexy. There must be something very wrong with this mirror. No one ever commented that I am sexy. Not a single soul. Pretty? Yes, lots of people say so, but not sexy. + Sayuri thought as she opened the bathroom door and got out of the bathroom. Stepping outside the bathroom, Sayuri felt a chill run down her spine. It's now that she noticed her back is bare, from the neck all the way down to the waist.
"Come, sit down here, dear." Mrs. Asagiri said, smiling at her. Sayuri walked over to the rarely used dressing table and sat down on the chair right in front of the dressing table.
"You looked so beautiful today." Mrs. Asagiri said, started combing Sayuri's hair. Sayuri stared blankly at the table and said nothing. After around half an hour of not saying a word and let Mrs. Asagiri do whatever she wants to her hair and face, Sayuri looked at the mirror and once again gasped. Now with some light makeup and her hair untangled at the ends, she looked beautiful.
"Just a few more accessories and you will be perfect!" Mrs. Asagiri said, taking out a jewelry box and helped Sayuri put on a pair of earrings and a necklace. Mrs. Asagiri looked at Sayuri for quite some time then got a silver chained belt. She got Sayuri to stand up and hang that belt slanted on Sayuri's waist.
"You looked terrific!" Mrs. Asagiri said, leading Sayuri out of the room.
"Er… What will happen later?" Sayuri asked.
"We will announce your engagement and then you youngsters will go to the gym. There will be a party there for you teenagers. We don't want to bore all of you out." Mrs. Asagiri said.
"The gym? Where the basketball court is? What did you do to that court?" Sayuri asked.
"Don't worry, we just decorate it a bit. Your basketball court will be back to normal after tonight, dear." Mrs. Asagiri said, smiling. Sayuri nodded and walked over to the stairs. The guests have arrived, walking down the stairs; Sayuri attracted a lot of attention mainly because of the dress she is wearing.
"Who is that girl?" Mitsui asked; narrowing his eyes as he watched Sayuri descended the stairs.
"Sayuri." Yuki replied. Sayuri walked over to them. Mitsui's jaw dropped immediately.
"Nice dress." Yuki said, smiling. Yuki is wearing a sexy yet elegant dress.
"What are you looking at?" Sayuri asked, looking at Mitsui who is focusing his eyes on her front.
"You are sexy." Mitsui commented, taking his eyes off what he was focusing on. Mitsui wore a dark purple shirt with a few buttons unbuttoned, showing his muscles, with a pair of black pants. He is attractive; some girls around them are looking at him, nearly drooling.
"Where's Kae-chan?" Yuki asked, looking around. Rukawa stood near the table of food, drinking a glass of orange juice. The three of them walked over to him. Rukawa put down the glass and looked at Sayuri with narrowed eyes.
"Who is she?" Rukawa finally said, after eyeing Sayuri for quite some time.
"You can't recognize her?" Yuki asked, surprised.
"For your info, I am Asagiri Sayuri, your so-called fiancée, although both of us are unwilling parties." Sayuri said, glaring at Rukawa. Rukawa raised an eyebrow but remained as expressionless as he always is. Sayuri rolled her eyes, she dislikes Rukawa Kaede and yet now he is her fiancé. Though she would not want to admit, she could not take her eyes off Rukawa, he is very attractive wearing a black chiffon (see through silk) shirt that showed Rukawa's six pack a little unclear behind the chiffon made black shirt and a pair of black pants. Yuki and Mitsui had both suddenly disappeared when Sayuri finally managed to take her eyes off Rukawa.
"Finish looking?" Rukawa asked, looking at Sayuri. Sayuri blushed slightly but managed to glare coldly at him.
"I wasn't looking at anything." Sayuri said.
"You were staring at me just now." Rukawa said matter-of-factly.
"I'm not!" Sayuri said, trying to keep her voice down.
"You were." Rukawa said.
"No." Sayuri said, glaring at Rukawa with the meanest, coldest, sharpest glare she can.
"Yes."
"No."
"Yes."
"No."
"Yes."
"What are the two of you talking about?" Yuki asked, suddenly reappearing with Mitsui.
"Sound more like quarreling over who's right and who's wrong to me." Mitsui said, smiling.
"None of your business." Sayuri snapped, shooting a cold look at Mitsui.
"Shhh…" Yuki mumbled under her breath. They stopped talking and turned to look at the stairs where Mr. and Mrs. Asagiri stood on a platform in the middle of the stairs.
"We are very honored to have all of you to come to our little housewarming party. We are pleased to announce that a very delightful news. Our daughter and Mr. Rukawa's son, Rukawa Kaede, will be engaged tonight. The young couple will have their wedding as soon as they complete schooling." Mr. Asagiri said. Everyone started applauding. Mrs. Asagiri signaled Sayuri and Rukawa to join them on the platform. Reluctantly, Sayuri and Rukawa walked to the platform. The applause became louder and finally died after around a full minute of applause.
"We had arranged another place for youngsters here to go to, which is our humble gym. Let this little party begin." Mr. Asagiri said, smiling. The music started and everyone started dancing. The teenagers left the hall and went to the gym. The gym is redecorated to resemble a disco. The neon colored lights kept spinning and shining and various parts of the gym, causing it kind of dizzy to look at.
"This is a basketball court!" Yuki exclaimed.
"Why on earth must they decorate this court into a disco?" Mitsui asked, looking at Sayuri.
"How would I know? I already knew just now when I was changing. Your mom said that she don't want to bore us youngsters." Sayuri said, rolling her eyes. Rukawa glared at those people dancing on the basketball court and his blood pressure nearly shot all the way up when he saw some jerks smoking and dumping the cigarette butts on the floor.
"Let's dance. Don't sit around here. We can't exactly stop them from dancing and throwing cigarette butts around. Later, I will stay to help clean up." Yuki said, smiling, putting a hand on Sayuri's shoulder. Sayuri nodded and was being steered to the dancing area. Rukawa and Mitsui followed behind the two girls. Mitsui and Yuki started dancing immediately, as if they are born to dance. Sayuri and Rukawa got off the dance floor and sat down on the couches by the side of the gym. A waiter stopped in front of them and put a rack of test tubes filled with multi colour liquid.
"Wait…" Sayuri said but the waiter had walked away.
"What is this?" Rukawa asked, looking at the test tubes.
"How would I know?" Sayuri asked, leaning forward to get a test tube. Rukawa's eyes widens as he saw what he was not supposed to see and turned to look at other places.
"What are you looking at?" Sayuri asked while sniffing the test tube to see if it's safe to drink it.
"Are you aware that you are wearing too little?" Rukawa asked, after a moment of silence.
"I know I'm wearing too little." Sayuri said, suddenly realizing what Rukawa meant, Sayuri used her hand to cover over the low v-cut and glared at Rukawa. Rukawa rolled his eyes and reached for a test tube, pouring the liquid down without any thoughts. Seeing Rukawa drink it with such ease, Sayuri poured the liquid down her throat too.
Author's notes: Okay, so what will happen next? Give me some suggestions please!!!!!! Hum… Maybe I will rate it R for the next chap…(
Chapter 7
The following morning came. Sayuri got out of bed and sighed. She had tried very hard to sleep last night, but she kept having nightmares about being engaged with Rukawa Kaede, and ended up marrying him. In the nightmares, she is suffering, trying to take care of a dozen kitsune while Rukawa Kaede sleep and drool all over the place. Shaking away the thoughts, Sayuri yawned and walked into the bathroom.
Looking at the image of herself in the mirror, Sayuri sighed as she turned on the tap and started splashing water onto her face to keep herself awake. Her long black hair, which is usually smooth and beautiful, is sticking out in all directions, her crystal-like green eyes which could attract almost everyone's attention is looking lifeless and dull, with red shots because she had not slept well the previous night and around her eyes, there are dark rings.

"I know, dad." Sayuri said, standing up and fake a smile before walking towards the dinning room to eat her breakfast.

"Good morning, Sayuri." Mitsui mumbled as he entered the big dinning room with a long rectangular dinning table and sat down beside Sayuri.
"Morning." Sayuri said, glancing at Mitsui for a brief second before looking back at her breakfast.
"Argh! Mom just showed me the suit I have to wear this evening, it's simply too formal for my taste!" Mitsui complained before stuffing his mouth with food.
"I think maybe I should run away from this home." Sayuri said, sighing. She had not touched her food at all. Mitsui looked at her and shake his head.
"It's only an engagement. You might not even end up marrying him." Mitsui said.
"What if I have to marry him in the end?" Sayuri asked.

"Look at Rukawa-kun, he is so distracted today. What's wrong with him, Ayako?" Haruko asked as she looked at Rukawa Kaede who is not concentrating on practicing.
"I don't know. But he is not the only one distracted. Sayuri is distracted too. How unusual, both of them are always concentrating more than others but today they are both distracted." Ayako said.
"Yeah, how unusual…" Haruko mumbled, feeling kind of sad as she imagine them to be distracted because of some relationships problems.

Mrs. Asagiri signaled Sayuri and Rukawa to join them on the platform. Reluctantly, Sayuri and Rukawa walked to the platform. The applause became louder and finally died after around a full minute of applause.
"We had arranged another place for youngsters here to go to, which is our humble gym. Let this little party begin." Mr. Asagiri said, smiling. The music started and everyone started dancing. The teenagers left the hall and went to the gym. The gym is redecorated to resemble a disco. The neon colored lights kept spinning and shining and various parts of the gym, causing it kind of dizzy to look at.
"This is a basketball court!" Yuki exclaimed.
"Why on earth must they decorate this court into a disco?" Mitsui asked, looking at Sayuri.
"How would I know? I already knew just now when I was changing. Your mom said that she don't want to bore us youngsters." Sayuri said, rolling her eyes. Rukawa glared at those people dancing on the basketball court and his blood pressure nearly shot all the way up when he saw some jerks smoking and dumping the cigarette butts on the floor.
"Let's dance. Don't sit around here. We can't exactly stop them from dancing and throwing cigarette butts around. Later, I will stay to help clean up." Yuki said, smiling, putting a hand on Sayuri's shoulder. Sayuri nodded and was being steered to the dancing area. Rukawa and Mitsui followed behind the two girls. Mitsui and Yuki started dancing immediately, as if they are born to dance. Sayuri and Rukawa got off the dance floor and sat down on the couches by the side of the gym. A waiter stopped in front of them and put a rack of test tubes filled with multi colour liquid.
"Wait…" Sayuri said but the waiter had walked away.
"What is this?" Rukawa asked, looking at the test tubes.
"How would I know?" Sayuri asked, leaning forward to get a test tube. Rukawa's eyes widens as he saw what he was not supposed to see and turned to look at other places.
"What are you looking at?" Sayuri asked while sniffing the test tube to see if it's safe to drink it.
"Are you aware that you are wearing too little?" Rukawa asked, after a moment of silence.
"I know I'm wearing too little." Sayuri said, suddenly realizing what Rukawa meant, Sayuri used her hand to cover over the low v-cut and glared at Rukawa. Rukawa rolled his eyes and reached for a test tube, pouring the liquid down without any thoughts. Seeing Rukawa drink it with such ease, Sayuri poured the liquid down her throat too.
