Hi everybody!!!! I'm in such a happy mood!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know why... It's not even the weekends yet.

Anyway, I'm sorry if my last chapter was lame and stupid and boring. I was too sleepy to make a good drama there.

And by the way, I just finished reading Yumiko Kaze's story called 'We Will Meet Again'. It's very lovely and nice and good...I recommend this story for you all to read!

now on with the story!

Chapter 8: Of lunch and storm....

recap: Sei and Miaka was stuck in school. Fortunately, Touya's (Touyama, the father of Miaka if you forgot) car came and picked up the two. At Miaka's house, Sei and Miaka learned about Touyama and Ken (Sei's dad ) friendship.

As the time passed by, the rain fell more and more hard, hard to the point that the news have reported that the whole district was already flooded.

Soon enough, Touya came home at about 11:00 a.m.

"Sei," said Touya, "why don't you eat your lunch here? I'm sure Ken won't mind..."

"My dad is here?" asked Sei, suddenly when he heard his father's name, "I thought he'll be at London!"

"The flight's been canceled. " said Touya, smiling at his friend's son "And there's also been change of plans. He'll be staying here for a few more months,"

"How 'bout Mum ?" he asked eagerly.

"I heard she's still here in Japan. Somewhere in Hokkaido I think," said Touya.

Sei tried to hid the small smile that was forming in his lips. It's been a while since the whole family's in the country... I hope Mum would go home soon... he thought to himself.

"So, do you want to eat here, sempai?" asked Miaka, with a charming smile that all knew well.

Sei was brought back to reality and looked at Miaka's golden eyes. It was very odd for him that he felt something about this petite girl/woman. He felt as if he wanted to take care of those charming smile of hers, and keep them safe from any dangerous frown.

"I- I guess. I don't mind..." said Sei. If one looked careful enough, one would find a little shade of pink in his white cheeks.

Miaka wailed with delight. She really liked her sempai. He reminds her of her second seishi and to dine with him would be like reliving the memory of eating with the young and beautiful emperor of Konan.

As Miaka wailed, Touya, too, felt glad of it. Sei was always the cold and reserved little boy, and it made him feel glad that at long last, he has finally made some friends, real friends, on his own and that he is willing to eat with someone other than Keisuke or Odou.

Flashback

Touya gazed at the young boy with the odd colored eyes. Sei, he thought, That's his name...

A three-year old Sei was eating all alone at the big rectangular table. He was all alone. His parents were abroad and Touya was asked to check on Sei.

Sei's teacher at the day care center had recently talked with Touya.

"Mr. Akaseikun..." came the voice of the teacher, "we're worried about Sei-kun. He doesn't eat cookies with the other children, nor play with them nor talk to them nor smile at them, nor sleep with them, nor borrow from them.... He's very unsociable!"

"My godson is only shy..." Touya argued back in a very calm voice.

"No, sir, I think he's really unsociable. He's been with us for almost a year now, and he hasn't spoke a word yet! We would like to ask you to teach him to quit that attitude of his or else he might be like that when he grows older!"

Touya sighed. Why was Sei such an unsociable kid? Sure it's good that he is not spoiled and that he is what you'll call the world's perfect son, but he needs to learn to socialize, and make some friends!

||

"Let's eat!!!!!!!!!" wailed Miaka all too cheerfully. Sei too also joined in with Miaka's cheerfulness and carelessness of the world while Touya followed them to the dining table.

When they had reached the dining table, Sei helped Miaka to a seat, before sitting himself. He's really like Hotohori, thought Miaka to herself, always the knight in the shining armor....or better yet the prince with the shining armor and that strong double-edged sword!! . "Let's eat! I can't wait any longer!!!" came Miaka.

At that very instant the servants served the gorgeous foreign food. Miaka as always ate the food with ultimate speed that almost made Touya to deny his daughter. Sei, meanwhile enjoyed eating with Miaka. He never had this much fun in eating, since Sei and Odou never eat with this much speed and that much food. As he watched the girl eat, he too also felt as if he has a bottomless stomach.

When they had finished eating, Miaka and Sei decided to play at the entertainment room and left Touya all alone.

While sitting at the dining room, Touya began to think... If Miaka's that close with Sei then.... He smiled to himself from the idea he has made. He began to dial at his cell phone and talk with his friend Ken

* * * at the entertainment room * * *

Miaka and Sei was in front of the huge TV screen. they were talking and chatting like mad!

Soon, there program was cut for a special news bulletin. according to the TV, the dam at Akihabara has overflowed , making some parts flooded. Some of these places were near Sei's place. Every path that could lead Sei home were blocked because of the flood. And very unfortunate to Sei is that the flood might last until late night.

Sei was near cursing. Of course, he did no such things as Miaka was there. Besides, he think of himself too high to be cursing

"Why don't you stay at my house, sempai?" offered Miaka, eagerly, " I'm pretty sure classes would be also suspended tomorrow. And if not, I think we could go there together..."

Sei thought it over, She's asking you to stay at her house. She's asking YOU to stay at her house. She's asking you to stay at HER house!!! SHE'S asking you to stay at her house!!!! She's asking you to stay at her house!!!!!!!!! Take her offer!!! "would Touya oji-san mind? I mean, You're a girl, I'm a guy. Most parents wouldn't."

"I think he will!" Said Miaka eagerly, "He's very fond of you!"

* * * meanwhile...* * *

^I AGREE!!!!^ came Ken from the other line.

"Yeah, but would they agree about it? C'mon, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't," said Touya very calmly

^That won't be a problem, Touya,^ said Ken, ^It's your family's tradition, I heard.. They won't be able to resist^ at the other end Ken smiled at the thought ^besides, it's for the good of the company! Your company and mine once merged would be a good idea... I'm sure that even Sei would agree to do that!"

"So, when would we announce it to the company? Tomorrow?"

^Nah, too soon. How 'bout next one or two months?^

"Alright. But tell this to Belle. She has a right to know,"

"Otou-san!!" came a cheerful voice.

"Oh wait, Ken, it's my daughter," said Touya to the phone. He then looked up at Miaka and Sei and asked them, "What is it?"

"Otou-san, can Sempai stay? The road's are all flooded, and sempai won't be able to go home until late night. Can he stay?" asked Miaka complete with the puppy dog eyes.

"Of course, child, He's welcome here." said Touya, "if you want, you can have him at your room,"

Miaka wailed gladly, excited that someone world be sleeping over... even if it's a male specie.

0o0o0

What kind of parent would allow their daughter to have someone of the male specie to sleep over?! Oh well. Let's just find out if Sei would turn into a rapist or something...

Anyhow, I'm sorry if Miaka is somewhat a bit too mature at the first (Oh God!) 7 chapters. You know, She doesn't yell stuff like an idiot and all. But then, we all know what has Miaka has gone through. It thought her a lesson and now, she's becoming more mature.

By the way, I need to be frank. Miaka doesn't have any feelings for Sei nor Odou nor anyone, not even Taka. You know that Taka has hurt her physically and emotionally, so she is now trying to heal herself.

Anyway, what did you think? I hope you liked my story. Please Review.

I love to hear from all of you!

So what's the plan? I'll tell you. It's a plan which would be good to both the Akaseikuns, the Tsukushis and the readers. Very exciting, but it won't be there until part II which is nearly coming soon. Try to guess it

So see y'all soon!
