Chapter 3: Course of Action

"She's my mom! My birth mom I mean, and... Omigod! What a coincidence!" Sana's eyes were wide and she had both of her hands clasped over her mouth.

Rei sweat dropped.

Mariko hopped in front of Sana and tapped her on the forehead with her pointer finger. "Don't be so silly Sana. I'm your mom! Who is this Sakai?"

Rei sweat dropped.

Sana shook her head at Mariko. "Don't be jealous! I have two moms, remember!"

"O-okay." Sana's mom mumbled with big exaggerated tears in her eyes. "But you like me the best, right?"

A furious Rei watched Mariko chase Sana around in circles because she was holding Maro-chan hostage. 'How can they both be so immature! Wasn't Sana almost kidnapped today?! It's couldn't have been a coincidence that the people who almost got Sana had also been after her mother. They will probably be back. We need to keep Sana safe! And I, as her manager, will be personally responsible for her well being!!!'

Rei had little stars in his eyes and he was standing up tall, raising his hand in confidence. He was determined, and at the moment, he looked almost as stupid as Sana and her mom.

"NOOOO MARO!!!" Mariko screamed at the little chipmunk, who was presently wearing mascara and lipstick. Sana chuckled evilly, putting away her makeup.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The next morning, Sana woke up to a bright sunny day- the only problem was, that she was tied up.

'Oh no!'

Sana struggled against her bindings. She could barely move!

'Oh man, oh man, oh man, oh mannn!!! They got me again! How do I escape? What should I do? Am I gonna die? NO NO NO!!! I'M TOO YOUNG AND PERFECT AND- '

Sana mentally slapped herself. She needed to stay calm- and as soon as she did, she realized that she was still in her room.

"WHAT! Now my brain hurts!"

She started flipping over on her bed, trying to get loose. "Mama! Rei! Untie me please, I'm gonna be sooooo late!"

No sooner had Sana called out his name, Rei walked in. For some reason, he looked proud of himself.

"Hurry Rei, Hurry! I'm already gonna miss half of first period!"

"I'm afraid I can not untie you Sana."

"WHAAAAATTT!!! WHY NOT?!"

"Because-" Rei smiled slightly. "Because, I am- SUPER MANAGER!" As Rei posed, Sana couldn't help but laugh.

"Hahahaha, funny Rei! Now please help me."

Rei frowned. "I am completely serious Sana. Certain precautions need to be taken now that some creep is looking for you. The only way that you will remain safe is if I tie you up, put you in a little closed, and for you to stay there for the rest of your life."

"Okay- but when will I eat?"

((Well at least Rei's not being too drastic))

"Oh please," Sana's mom came into the room. "I think we just need to be more careful from now on. We can't keep her locked up like that. It would destroy her, just like it destroyed Michael Evens in my newest book, Michael Evens. In the end, he dies when a rock falls off of an apartment building onto his head! I don't want my Sana to die that way!"

"Okay-" Rei was pondering his argument. "But mama, what if Sana-"

"I'm sure she will be fine as long as she isn't wandering on the streets alone at night- or at any other time. Only a complete idiot would try and attack someone driving in a car at the speed you do!"

"Mama, they are complete idiots." Sana commented.

Mariko argued back, "And complete idiots will probably be easier for the police to capture!"

"They have been trying for years."

"Do you want to go to school or not!"

"I thought Rei needed help with his argument-"

"Whose side are you on!!"

Sana shrugged comically.

"Anyways, I'm sure everything will be fine. Drive Sana to school Rei. No arguments!"

"No!" Rei snapped back simply. "What if it's one of the teachers! I am not putting Sana in any danger because I care about her!" He emphasized the word 'I' a lot.

Mariko was about to yell back when Sana stopped her.

"Come on you guys! Don't be so immature!"

'Look who's talking-' Mama and Rei thought at the same time.

"I think we should make a compromise." Sana suggested.

Rei spoke up first. "Okay, we can forget the closet thing-"

"And how about a private tutor!" Mariko chimed in.

"Okay then, it's settled." Sana was relived that a fight had not broken out. "I get a day off! I'll ask Akito to bring me home the- oh-"

How could Sana have forgotten about Akito. He was probably still in the hospital, after all it had only happened yesterday. But Akito was not one to let injuries, no matter how bad, to get in his way.

'I bet he's sneaking food from the vending machine again- Oh god, I want to see him!'
