"What's wrong with you? Why act so surprise when Tsuzuki have already told
you the details?" Eriol asked.
"Mr Hiiragizawa told me that I am his son. But I never really believed it." Yukito shouted back.
"True, no one will believe we are brothers. However, that is nothing new as you are actually my half brother."
"Bullshit! I do not have anyone in my family except my mother."
"Did she say anything about Tsuzuki?"
"She just said that my father was a good man but died a horrible death."
"Whatever it is, the fact that my father set up two branches was actually because he wanted both of us to get a share of his company."
"How the earth did I become your brother? How dare your father be unfaithful to Mrs Hiiragizawa!"
"Don't ever judge them Yukito! He loved both your mother and mine. Although he never tell me the details, the fact that he set up a branch here and England proves just that."
"Eriol. Your father is the reason that turned my life upside down today. So, when you hired me, it's not because of my qualifications but rather the fact that I am going run the company when you leave. Where is your sense of meritocracy?"
"You think it's your status in my family that got you hired?" Eriol smirked. "My father told me unless you get your degree, I am not suppose to hire you. Now, are you happy that you got the job by yourself?"
"NO! I WILL NOT ACCEPT THE POSITION!"
"You can't do that Yukito."
"YES I CAN YOU. . ."
"Stop it Yukito! Stop shouting." Natsumi yelled. "Don't be so stubborn won't you. Accept fate and stop cursing you moron!"
"Meia, stay out of this. You have no idea. . ."
"I am not Meia you moron! I am Natsumi you idiot. Eriol was sensible enough to tell you nicely without giving you unnecessary shock. You jolly well appreciate that you ungrateful jerk!" Natsumi snapped back and ran out of the restaurant.
Meia gave Yukito a dirty look and chase Natsumi, leaving Yukito stunned and the rest shocked at Yukito and Natsumi's outburst.
"Well, I wanted to tell you nicely. This didn't turn out the way I planned." Eriol rubbed his face and sank into his chair. Tomoyo quickly tried her best to comfort him.
"Sorry. Your father did turn my life upside down. If not, I could be like you today, happily engaged with Natsumi. I think I lost her already." Yukito quietly said.
"It's your choice to leave her that day Yukito, not your father, not ours, definitely not Natsumi's. Your pride made you leave her. Don't blame it on me." Eriol said it calmly.
"Sorry man. Well, glad to know that I am not alone in this world after all. Brother." Yukito patted Eriol's back and sat down. * Maybe life won't be so lonely after all. * He thought.
"Hey, Yukito. Will you take the job, as what father asked you to do?"
"Well, Natsumi told me to accept my fate. That's what I am going to do." Seeing Eriol's worried face, he added. "I will do my best, after all, you helped me during the five years. I shouldn't destroy your effort right?"
When Eriol sighed with relief and started chatting with Kenshin, Yukito started thinking of Natsumi. * My love. Don't run away from me again. I beg you. . . *
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ // ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
"Natsumi wait up!" Meia tried her hardest to run in high heels. * Blasted shoes, why can't I run in it. *
"Meia, what are you doing here? Go back and join Kenshin. He loves your company."
"No, he thinks that I am you, Natsumi. He was relating his feelings about the movie outing you shared with me the night I came back."
"Shoots him. Did he say anything that bothered you?"
"Nothing much, just that he gave Yukito a fright by saying that he may be more than a friend to you. Why is he so protective over you?"
"Beats me. Maybe because I remind him of you?" Natsumi said, hoping it would relieve some of Meia's fear.
"I don't know. He never mention anything about me. I am scared Nat, what if he doesn't like me and have forgotten about me when I left two years ago?"
"Don't worry so much. Since you are back and staying permanently, you can go after him and tell him how you feel. A smart brat like him should be able to figure out your feelings towards him."
"I am not sure about Kenshin. But what I am sure is that Yukito has eyes for you. After five years, he still loves you."
As usual, she read Natsumi's thoughts and added. "I saw the way he stared at me throughout the whole dinner. I was getting very close to Kenshin. Although Kenshin didn't noticed it, Yukito looks as if he just drank a cup of lemon juice."
"Right. And why don't we go home and cook dinner and yak?"
"Without saying good bye to them? Nevermind, Tomoyo will understand. I send her a sms to inform her then." Meia said with a sad smile as they approached their car.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ // ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
"They are leaving. They feel that we should clear up any misunderstanding among ourselves." Tomoyo told the rest after reading Meia's sms.
"Well then, I have to make a move then." Kenshin excused himself. "Congrats for your marriage Eriol, Tomoyo." He said before leaving.
Watching Kenshin making his way out, Yukito sighed in relief. It was tough to like Kenshin. Even though his common sense knew that Kenshin is a great person. The fact that he managed to be so close to Natsumi makes him see green.
"I think you need help." Eriol broke his thoughts.
"Whatever for?"
"Natsumi, Yukito, Natsumi." Tomoyo said. "She doesn't seem to like you a lot. I think it is time for you to tell us your side of your story. Why did you leave her?"
Yukito kept silent for a while. "I needed to prove that I can run the company through my own ability. I was a fool to leave her. I didn't know that this will destroy my relationship with her."
Yukito looked up and shocked them when they saw tears in his eyes before he wiped his eyes dry. "I left her because I felt I wasn't good enough for her. Is it a crime to go overseas and improve myself so that she will be proud of me?"

So, while the story moves on, I need to tell ya that I am schooling now so may update slower. So, please be patient.
