A/N yeah, I think it's been a while since I updated…but I made sure this chapter was extra long! 20 pages on Word. This week has been so hectic since it's my Homecoming week, but I had to get this up for all of you! Please Read and Review! You people are getting lazy!

The next morning B3 walked to Kira's house.

"God! This is your home!" Enrique's jaw dropped as he looked around in somewhat of disdain.

Kai raised his head and looked around. If he had been another 10cm taller his head would have hit the ceiling.

"It's only as big as the bathroom in my home." Johnny complained and slouching a bit, since he's hair was spiked so high it just barely hit the ceiling.

"What did you come for anyways? My house isn't a zoo, there's nothing to see." Kira said annoyed at the insults.

"Big or small, who cares? Safe here?" Kai said he's normal two-word statement.

"Yeah, I think so." Kira nodded.

With that said they all start to gather around the little table in the middle of the room.

"Oh, right. We should call Tala over here." Johnny said as he took a seat.

"No! No…"

"Why?" Enrique asked. They didn't know what happened and decided to get to the bottom of this.

Kira quickly made up a excuse, "No reason why. Uh… my home is so small and there is no place to sit. Besides, you guys would definitely be feeling bored in a little bit and then think about leaving. So why would you call a whole crowd of people over?"

Johnny looks at Kai while putting a can of beer in front of Kira as though he knows that she was trying to make up excuses to avoid Tala.

"Why did Tala skip today?" Enrique spoke.

"To see Matilda? I Dunno?"

Kira looks down. Her hands clutched the can of beer.

"Kira, do you know how the two of them are recently?"

"Why would I know?"

Kai sees the discomfort on Kira's expression and steers the subject away from the topic by popping open his can of beer.

"Drink. Stop asking questions." Kai raised his can and took a swing as B3 followed, but Kira still just glanced at hers.

Just then a knock sounded on the front door. Everyone turns toward the door.

"Who is it now? I'll go open the door. You guys drink first. Coming!" Kira said in annoyance.

"Cheers!" Behind her B3 drinks on. Raising their can and taking a big swing of the beverage.

Johnny made a face after he drinks "Why does un-refrigerated beer taste so bad?"

Enrique laughed and looks up towards the door at this moment and slowly sits up straighter in surprise at who he sees.

Johnny sees the look on Enrique's face and then toward the door to see what he was staring at.

Looking over, he's face also changes into surprise.

Kai looked over too, though his expression didn't change.

Tatiana walks in and seeing B3 sitting there, she frowned.

Kira walked in front of her, to stop her from going any farther in the room.

"I originally thought that I would never see you again. But there is one thing that I have to ask you. What tricks did you play? Matilda's mom, and Tala both raised the request to cancel the marriage contract at the same time! How long are you going to hinder Tala before you will let go!" She shouted angrily.

With this B3 stands up, surprised at the news.

Kira was also surprised "I didn't hinder him."

Tatiana let out a sarcastic laugh. "I knew you were going to say that. Seems like the things that your parents have taught you are shameless tricks that normal people have never even thought about! Dirty methods!" She spit out the last word, and glared at Kira as if she's the most dirty thing every created.

"That was low." Kai spoke, staring at Tatiana with cold eyes.

Johnny, who is standing next to Kai, jaws dropped open. Surprised at Kai for arguing back, for going against Tatiana.

"And what status are you using to talk to me? You're a minor and you want to give a lesson to me, Tatiana Ivanov?" Tatiana glared at Kai.

The two toned boy looked away and didn't answer.

"Uh, Auntie… I think that there must be some misunderstanding between Tala and Matilda." Enrique spoke, choosing his words carefully.

"Whether it is a misunderstanding or not, I think that you don't have any right to speak, stating any sort of opinion." Tatiana looked sternly at the blonde.

Enrique lowered his head, not wanting to yell at the older woman like Kai did.

"I heard that your Dad and Mom have moved to live at the fishing village. Really! If that was the case, then why the need to show off like you did before? Wouldn't it have been very good if you had just accepted the ten million dollars. Or is bringing a whole group of guys home also part of your many tricks?"

Kira bit her lip, her hands clutched in a tight fist, as she tries to control her temper.

Thought her teeth were clutched, she spoke dangerously "Don't think just because I'm defending myself that it means that you can walked all over me. You old hag!" Kira smugly said the last 2 words.

The two words must have hit home, because Tatiana's eyes went wide open "Old hag!"

"What! Yeah I'm talking to you. Stupid old hag! If you really treasure your son so much, why don't you just buy a dog collar and tie him up at home!"

"Miss Tagoshi. Who do you think you are? You would have the impudence to use that kind of attitude to talk to me?" Tatiana snickered.

"I'm not anybody! It could be that in your eyes, I'm just a weed. But I have to tell you very clearly that everything I do, I have never made anyone look down on me before! However, I really look down upon you from the bottom of my heart right now! You are the worst person that I have ever seen in this world! In your eyes, there just seems to be you and your son, other people, you don't see them as humans at all! My world doesn't welcome you. Leave! Bitch!" Kira smugly said, not letting Tatiana's words affect her.

Tatiana stares at Kira with eyes burning in anger and then turning around she stomps out of the apartment.

Kira walks after her to make sure the door closes behind her.

While B3 are standing there shocked that anyone would dare to yell at Tatiana like that, must less then call her a bitch.

"DAMN! You Rock Kira!" Enrique shouted.

"You are really something! Did you see her expression just now!"

"She looks like she was so angry that she would burst a blood vessel!"

"You did well." Kai congratulated, with a hint of smile on his face.

"It was just too impressive!"

Kira seemed embarrassed at their praises, "Eh, actually I don't know what I just did now. It was just that my temper went overboard so that's why I suddenly burst out like that."

She walks back to the table and sits down.

Johnny followed "Ah, so Tala and Matilda has already broken up. I felt from the beginning that those two strange ones maybe wouldn't be together for long. Just didn't think that it would be this fast!"

"What are you going to do now?" Kai took a sit and asked her.

"What Kai said is right. We better come up with a strategy."

"You really can't escape from it anymore."

"I wouldn't escape from it! I also won't admit to losing! The more that she wants to give me a hard time, the stronger I will get. I will bring into play my weed power and fight with her till the end!" Kira pumped her fist in the air.

"How?" Kai stated.

Kira has a puzzling look on her face. "How?'

"Your opponent is an extremely powerful business tycoon. What's more, she is the empress of the whole Ivanov Corporation!"

"And so what? She's still a human being!"

"Your just too naïve."

"She could have you struck down without even having to lift a single muscle."

"You guys are so annoying! You just said that you will support me and now you're saying these things to try to scare me! Anyway, I will absolutely not give up!"

"We're not thinking about scaring you. We just want to know if you have any concrete plans."

"Eh… for example… I… Eh, what kind of attitude is that!" Kira demanded as he see B2 shaking their heads.

"Go out with Tala." Kai suggested.

"No." Kira blushed.

Johnny smirked at Kai "Eh, that's not a bad idea!"

"Dating an only son and make his mother so angry that she faints. Which leads to the war of two women. That is definitely the best way for Kira to go against Tala's Mom!" Enrique agreed.

"What are you guys talking about?" Kira scowled.

Johnny ignored Kira and continued to discuss the pan with Enrique and Kai, "Hm, right, right! And then have a kid! Then that would be a sure win!"

"Have a kid!" Kira yelled.

Enrique still ignored her "That might be too much. The empress dowager wouldn't want the small kid. She might even take Kira and the kid and…"

"Eh, may I ask. Did I say something before that I wasn't supposed to say?" Kira interrupted.

Johnny and both nods their head at her with a big grin on their face.

"What do you think?" Kai turned o face her.

"Could we rewind? Is there a chance to be regretful?"

"Stop playing! The whole audience has seen it and is clapping their hands already!"

"What's been done has already been done. You'll face her someday, since Tala like you so much. Thought, you have our support in this." Kai gave Kira a reassuring smile.

"Right! We're standing on your side."

"We will support you."

They cheered and started drinking again.

'If I had a choice, I would rather that Kai's by my side instead of Tala. Though Kai doesn't know it or tries, but he's always made me feel calm, and steadies my emotions. Makes me feel safe and good.' Kira stole a glanced at the two-toned haired boy who was casually drinking beer.

'Tala has such a ruthless mother and grows up in that type of environment. Tala's world is full of dangerous obstructions. But then why do I still want to push myself toward this war and go head to head with his life?' Kira thought, confused at her own feeling towards both the blue and the red head.

Later B3 left Kira's house.

"I been thinking, if it wasn't because Tala is so stubborn and if he was able to accept Matilda, then don't you think that the ending would have been a happy one?" Johnny stated.

"I understand what you are saying. You think that our supporting Kira and Tala on their relationship like this, you feel that it's not a practical way of thinking, right?" Enrique replied.

Johnny just smiled "There's this saying, one's future is dependent on how one creates it. We all know this. But this saying doesn't seem to be suitable for us to use."

"Don't think too much." Enrique smiled.

Kai had his head lowered as if he was in deep thoughts.

"Kai, if, in the first place, you didn't give up Kira because of Tala, what do you think the situation would be like now?"

"Even thought we're like brothers. We still don't know how Kai feels towards this whole situation. I'm not standing on Tala's side right now, it's just that… Saying what you are saying right now, it won't do anyone any good."

Johnny understands and nods his head.

"Let's go have a drink." Kai walked ahead, even thought they just drunk. 'I need alcohol'

That night, at Ivanov mansion…

"The home that poor girl is living in right now and also the homes that are nearby – buy it all for me!" Tatiana demanded to her lapdog.

"Yes, madam. I'll take care of it immediately."

At school the next day…

Tala grabbed Enrique's arms and shook him violently and cheerfully said "What you said is the truth!"

"OW, OW, OW, OW, OW!" Enrique on the other hand was crying out in pain.

Tala in his excitement didn't hear the baby blondes cries of pain, "After she found out that I have cancelled the marriage contract, she issued a challenge against my mom!"

Johnny just has this amusing and smug look on him face as he watches Tala's kid like excitement and Enrique's pouting face of pain.

Enrique scrunched up his face "That's basically it. Ow, let me go first! Tala!"

Tala finally notices that he has been holding onto Enrique for dear life and quickly lets go and roughly rubbed his arms for him, soothing the pain that he caused as though afraid that he won't tell him more, if he doesn't do that.

Enrique pulled his arm away. Tala was just making it hurt even more, therefore he just ended up rubbing himself "We were originally going to look for you yesterday night and tell you this. But no matter where we looked, we couldn't find you."

"Right. But your Mom already knows where Kira lives. From the type of person that she is, she definitely is not one to take things slowly and one step at a time. Kira is living all by herself. She's in the light and your Mom is in the dark. I feel that you should think it over carefully." Johnny said in a serious tone.

"We will go visit her whenever we can." Enrique who still had a pout on his face and continued to rub his arm.

"No need! No need. I'm telling you guys. You guys can't go. A single girl living all alone, being together with you two man whores, that's even more dangerous than being together with my mom!" Tala quickly objected.

"Hey!" Enrique pouted his already pouted face.

"Don't be saying things like that to your lifelong friends!" Johnny frowned.

Tala just shook his head, and not understanding Johnny's words. "What are you talking about! I'm not saying anything bad! I'm saying the truth! Anyway, you guys just can't go!"

Tala turned around to face the two-toned hair boy "Hey, Kai!"

Kai looked at Tala with a smirk on his face. "You can't go either."

"Fine, we won't go. But shouldn't you go and look for her tonight? And be her knight riding in shining armor?" Enrique laughed.

"Ride what! Why are all of your heads in the gutter?' Tala shouted, obviously getting the wrong meaning in Enrique's words.

Johnny looked over and Enrique wondering what they said.

"Who's head is in the gutter? What are YOU thinking about?" Johnny pointed at him.

"You said to tell me to ride…" Tala blushed deeply.

Johnny grinned like a cashmere cat.

Enrique raised an eyebrow "I was just telling you to protect her!"

"Then why did you mention about riding…"

Johnny smirked "A riding knight in shining armor to tell you to protect her! You are the one that is thinking of perverted things!"

Enrique suddenly collapsed on the ground laughing at Tala's stupidity.

"What do you mean I'm thinking of perverted things! You guys are the one that are speaking in riddles!" Tala crossed his arms.

"So you are blaming on us now?"

Kai looked over and smirked, but getting bored of the conversation he walked away.

"We were talking with you very seriously!"

"Your expression was like full of lust1"

"The one who's lusting is you!"

Johnny said and turns to leave and Tala grabs him by around his neck and stops him.

"What! I…"

"Argh" Johnny places his hand around while Enrique came to break them up Tala grabbed him, and put him in a head lock also.

That night, Kira returns home and makes herself her dinner which is instant noodles.

While the noodles were cooking in the bowl, she looks through the mail and sees a letter from Mom.

"It's from Mom!"

She opens the letter happily and starts reading.

"My dearest Kira. How are you recently? Mama really misses you very much. Mama is trying very hard right now to adapt to life on the fishing village. But Mama is really very sorry that I temporarily still can't send money to you yet. So Kira, the money you get from your job, you have to use it carefully. Until now, Dad is still not competent to take over the fishing village's job yet. Going out to the sea to fish, the minute that he steps on the boat, he would get seasick and throw up. He couldn't work at all! So that means that we don't really have any income at all. Even though that is the case, Dad is still trying very hard. Kira, you have to take very good care of yourself. Mama is not by your side. You have to be a bit stronger. Love Mama."

With unshed tears in her eyes, Kira folds the letter up and puts in back in the envelope.

While eating her noodles, Kira couldn't help but start crying from reading the letter.

Suddenly, the door opens and the landlord comes into the room.

"Mr. Landlord." Kira turned around.

"Eh, Kira, you're here? That's great! Please move out of the house immediately."

Kira's eye went wide open "Why? Is it because I still haven't paid the rent yet? On the 5th of next month, I will get paid. I will definitely take the money to pay for the rent! Please, please?"

"Can't do. Because I've already sold this house. So, I can't rent it to you. I hope that you will be able to move out tonight. As for the rent that you've owed me for these past few months… consider that as my bad luck. But I warn you, you better not delay anymore. If not, I'll find someone to throw out all your luggage on the street tomorrow. I'll be back to take a look. Two hours." He sternly said before walking out.

Kira stands there not knowing what to do as the landlord walks out and closes the door behind him.

Meanwhile, a happily smiling Tala is driving his brand new Ferrari to Kira's place.

Kira packs her things and slowly walks out to the streets.

'What should I do? How am I going to continue living from now on? Yesterday I was still opening up my big mouth and saying that I will fight with the old hag. And the result… I don't even have a place to live today.' She puts down her luggage.

As Kira bends down to pick up her luggage again, Tala's car flies by in back of her.

An angry Tala is at Kira's place and yelling at the landlord.

"Why did she suddenly move out! WHY!" Tala shouted obviously getting ticked off.

The landlord stammers "H-how am I supposed to know? It could be because her Dad and Mom moved away. Moreover, she owed a lot of rent that she hasn't paid yet! She ran away in the middle of the night!"

Tala grabbed the landlord by his shirt "That's nonsense! It must be that she owes you rent, so you kicked her out, right?"

He reaches back with his fist and makes a move to hit the landlord.

Landlord quickly back away "Why are you hitting people!" He turns and starts running toward the door.

"DON'T RUN!" Tala stood and commanded.

"HELP!"

"Where did she move off to!" Tala said with a worried expression on his face.

Later Tala gets back in his car and makes a call on his cell phone.

"Your call has been switched over to the voicemail box. Please leave a message after the beep."

Tala is driving along the streets now looking for her.

Beep

"Hello, this is Kira. Please leave a message."

Beep

"Kira! It's Tala. Where are you now? Hurry up and return my call!"

An exasperated Tala is still driving all around looking for Kira when he calls her again.

"Hello, this is Kira. Please leave a message."

"Kira. I have limited patience! Hurry up and return my call!"

He continues driving around while Kira is sitting at the same place that Tala raised his hand to slap her last time.

'It's so late. Calling Daichi or Salima, doesn't seem too good right now. But I don't have any money. Do I really have to stay out in the streets? I should at least give it a try."

She reaches into her backpack for her cell phone.

"No battery?"

She puts a fresh battery in and dials to listen to her voicemail.

"You have ten messages." Kira's eyes widen."10!"

"Kira, where are you now? When you get this message, hurry up and get in touch with me." Tala's voice sounded over the phone.

"Repeat, please press 1. For next message, please press 2."

Kira presses a button on her cell phone and listens to another message from Tala.

"Kira, its Tala. You stupid woman! What the hell are you doing! Hurry up and return my call!"

She presses a button on her phone again and listens to a 3rd message from the red head.

"My patience is limited! Hurry up and call me!"

"I've been driven crazy by you already. Hurry up and call me." Tala 's voice was heard shouting on the phone.

"Kira, where exactly are you? It doesn't matter how late, when you hear this message, give me a call. Tala." Instead of a raging voice, the sound was silent, almost as if it was pleading with her.

"I've been driven crazy by you already, Kira, where exactly are you? Hurry up and call me." The voice got quieter.

Kira sniffed and turned around to see a concerned red head standing there.

"Kira..." The phone continued to play the next message.

She pulls the phone away from her ear and stares at Tala. He starts walking over to her. Kira slowly stands up and one lonely tear falls down her face. The red head looked at her through his turquoise eyes and stares at her for a few seconds before reaching out and hugging her tightly to him. Unable to resist him she wraps her arms around him and starts crying on his shoulder.

"Sorry. I just heard the messages now."

"I've finally found you." Tala muttered against her shoulder

"How did you know I was here?"

Tala's voice got hoarse "Last time I raised my hand and hit you here. I've regretted it until now."

/ Flashback//

"You guys are of the same class in society. Your mom also likes her very much. I also feel that the two are of you are very compatible. Just try to date with her! You don't have to say anything! Do you know that your feelings make me feel a lot of pressure? Furthermore, there is no possibility that I can be together with you! Matilda has so much good qualities, you should just go out with her! Don't come and find me anymore!"

An angered Tala reached out and slapped Kira on the face.

/ End of flashback. /

"You are always trying to find different reasons to try to run away from my side. I really don't know what to do with you. Stop running away from me, ok? Let us face the problems together. As long as you are willing to trust in me, just trust in me…" Tala pleaded, hugging her tightly.

"Tala…" Kira said crying softly against him.

Later, with Kira's luggage in one hand and dragging Kira behind him in the other, Tala arrived back at the Ivanov mansion.

"Tala...Why did you bring me to your house for! I can't come here!" Kira protested dragging her feet.

"Let's face my Mom together. Didn't you declare war on my Mom already? Let us fight together! If anything happens, I will shield you. Where's my Mom?" He asked some passing maids.

"Master, Madam is not here. She took a plane off to London early this morning. Madam has been very busy with her work recently. It could be that she won't be able to return to Taiwan for a period of time." The maid answered bowing.

"That's even better. You could stay here."

He starts to hand the luggage off to one of the maids, but Kira grabs his hand and stops him.

"Why! It's very weird like this." Kira protested.

"Take the luggage to the guest room." Tala ignored her and handed Kira's luggage to the maid.

Kira pulled on the luggage. "Wait a minute! Let me think about it first! I said those words to your Mom yesterday, and now I came over to your house."

"Why are you talking so much nonsense stuff! Take this over for me." He hands the luggage back to the maid.

"Aiya! Don't be like this!"

"Stop being so annoying!" Tala protested trying to get her to let go of the luggage.

"Wait a minute!"

Tala hands the luggage to the maid again while Kira is still trying to pull it back.

"Pulling and dragging in the foyer. What kind of manners are those! Are there no more rules in this house anymore?" An aged voice asked slowly walking down the stairs.

An old woman walks out and stands there looking at Kira and Tala with a stern and strict look on her face.

'She's still alive?' Tala thought to himself in disbelief.

"Yu Sao." All the maids walked over to her and bowed respectfully.

"Who's she?" Kira asked whispering.

"Yu Sao. Why did you come back?" Tala asked walking up to Yu Sao.

Yu Sao doesn't answer and just looks Kira up and down. Tala looks from Yu Sao to Kira and back again.

"It doesn't matter why you came back. Kira is my friend. She'll be living in our home from now on." Tala went on.

Kira gave him a dirty look for making the decision for her.

"So you are Kira." Yu Sao went on slowly, still observing the dark haired girl.

Kira has a puzzled look on her face as though wondering what that phrase meant.

"Master. Madam went to London again. Before she left, she made sure that I came back and reorganizes the Ivanov family. Because Madam said that when she's not here, there has to be someone that is in charge. So, she has to ask me to come back."

'This old grandma, seems so old but her imposing posture is still very strong – it feels very courageous.' Kira thought to herself.

Yu Sao looked over Kira once more before turning towards Tala. "If Master absolutely persists in detaining Miss Kira, then I won't give you a hard time. Miss Kira, you can stay in Ivanov family and be a servant."

"Servant!" Kira turned at the elderly lady in surprise.

"You want Kira to be a servant in our home! Yu Sao, are you so old that you've become slow-witted?" Tala asked in disbelief.

"Master. I seem to remember that even your father wouldn't dare to speak to me this way. Young people these days, do they all think of getting something without doing anything? As long as someone is providing them free food and living, then they couldn't wait to rely on that person?" The lady's tone went strict.

"You old… person. If you continue talking nonsense, then I won't let you off so easily." Tala hesitated, not able to disrespect her, after all, the entire time he was growing up she was shown great respect in the household.

"Grandma, please be careful of the way you say your words. I didn't say I was going to stay behind."

Yu Sao smiled and walked in front of Kira. "Maybe time has changed, young people these days can't take much hardship. Just someone who doesn't have any working capabilities at all. Much less talking about daring to accept a challenge or not!"

"I…"

Yu Sao didn't let Kira finish, as she taunted her again. "If that's not the case, then why can't you use your labor to substitute for rent while living here? Use your working capabilities in exchange for your right to eat and live here?"

"There's no reason why I can't. Grandma, don't look down on people! If I was to live here, I will definitely not be eating freely and living freely!" Kira retorted heatedly.

"Really? Would you dare? Can you do as you say?" Yu Sao challenged.

"Yes! That's right! In the time while I'm living here, please hire me to work." Kira answered not backing down.

Tala walked over to the two. "You two be quiet! How can I let you do something like this!" He asked Kira pleading with her. He then turned to Yu Sao. "Yu Sao, stop joking around!"

"Tala. I feel that what grandma said makes perfect sense. I really don't have any money or any place to live right now. Moreover, I really want to fight together with you. Especially, if your Mom comes back, how will I face her? I just can't tell her that I was kicked out by the landlord so that's why I moved over to your home to live. I need a reason. If I was to say that I was a servant at your home, then I would as least be able to hold my head up high."

"Isn't this exaggerating too much! You want me to order you around like a servant!" Tala asked exasperated.

"But…" Kira started.

"There's no buts about it! Anyway, I don't agree to it!"

"Fine. Then I'll just think of some other ways by myself."

She turns and walks toward the door while Yu Sao stares at Kira with a raised eyebrow.

"You really want me to order you around like a servant?" Tala called out desperately.

Kira turns around and looks at Tala with a look that says that will be the only way he'll be able to make her stay behind.

"Do as you please!" Tala decided, giving up.

He turns and walks away in irritation.

"If that's the case, then just let me, Yu Sao, give you a very good training. In such a big house. House chores are as high as mountains. Don't have to be afraid that there will be nothing to do. I won't let you off easily simply because you are Master's friend. Do you understand?"

"Yes." Kira replied softly bowing her head.

"Louder. I can't hear."

"Yes!"

"Good! Very good! Come with me. Change to servant's clothing."

She starts walking off as Kira follows behind.

Tala is sitting in his room, sulking over the whole matter when someone knocks on his door.

"Come in."

"I haven't seen Master for over a year now – you've grown up."

"Yu Sao. What exactly do you want to do? Kira is… is my guest. You actually tell her to be our servant!"

He sits down on his bed and looks at Yu Sao.

"Master is all grown up now. You don't have to listen to my words anymore. In the past, when you were in 3rd grade, Master Tala who still wets his bed, has now grown up. You can speak to me like this now."

"Yu Sao, didn't your waist hurt and you retired a year ago? Why have you come back now? You are so old now, you should enjoy your happiness now."

"Who says? I've said it before, as long as the Ivanov family needs me anytime, then there won't be a day when I, Yu Sao, would retire! This time that Madam has asked me to come back, it's all because of Master, you. And also that girl."

"My Mom? So you came back this time to help her?" He asked standing up abruptly.

"What kind of words are those! Does that mean that I, Yu Sao, is just a puppet who would let Madam manipulate and control – without even having my own ideas! Even though this time Madam wants me to come back, but how to reorganize this family, it is still being controlled in my hands! Even if Master, you, have some wrongdoings, you will absolutely not be treated with any leniency!" Yu Sao stated defensively.

"I'm just afraid that you are so old that you've become so slow-witted that you can't even tell what's right and what's wrong." Tala smirked.

"Old is old. Slow-witted in slow-witted. But, listening to Master's conversation with that Miss before… it seems as if she is someone that Master likes. Hmm, but I must be old and slow-witted and can't figure it out. It must be my mistake. I'll be leaving now." Yu Sao smiled.

"Eh, eh! Yu Sao!"

"What's the matter, Master?"

"What did you come up with?"

"Old is old. Slow-witted in slow-witted. But my heart is not made out of stone. Fine. Then it's decided that that Miss will be Master's personal servant. How's that?" Yu Sao sighed.

Tala's answer was pasted on his face as he looks at Yu Sao with a happy grin at the idea.

The next morning, Kira is dressed in her servant's uniform and slowly walking over down the hall. As she stops in front of a closed door, she remembers the words that Yu Sao said to her.

"Wake up at 5:00 a.m. Before 6:00 a.m. have all the windows, floors, everything wiped clean. Breakfast is at 7:00 a.m. After class, you can't be casually strolling around! You have to return immediately to continue your work. Do you hear me! To be a good servant, there is no secret formula. The only thing is to wait on your master! I'm the one that has decided to have you go and be Master's personal servant. I am the law around here! Starting from tomorrow, you are responsible for waking up Master and taking care of him until he goes to bed! Told you to go, so you go! Go and wake up Master right now!" Yu Sao demanded.

'What? You are the law around here? Really very weird! I can't believe that in one night's time, I actually became Tala's personal servant. And I have to wake him up every day. Anyway, it's just work. I'll just face it calmly.' Kira thought as she cleaned the floor.

She raised her hand to knock on the door and after waiting a few seconds, without hearing any sounds from within, she slowly opens the door and walks into the dim room. She walks in and stops far away from the bed.

"Tala." She called out loudly.

When she remembers that she is the servant, she quickly changes her wording and the tone of her voice.

"Master, wake up." She said softly.

There was no sound or movement from the figure on the bed, so Kira walks over and stands next to the bed.

"Master, wake up."

Still no answer.

"You're going to be late for class." Kira leaned down with a puzzled look.

Still no answer or movement from Tala on the bed.

Kira leans closer yet mumbling to herself. "Why aren't there any reactions at all? He sleeps like a dead person."

She steps closer and leans down until she her face is only a few inches away from Tala's sleeping face.

'This guy, this seems to be like the first time that I'm so closely looking at his sleeping face. Wow, what a pointy nose. Long eyelashes too.' She thought to herself.

Suddenly Tala moves and reaching out, pulling Kira into his arms and onto the bed, hugging her tightly.

"AH! What are you doing! Let me go! You pervertWhy did you pull me for?" She shouted at him hitting his with a pillow.

"What are you doing! Why are you so rough in waking a person up! Can't you be a bit gentler!" Tala yelled back trying to block her hits.

He sits up and rubs his sleepy eyes.

"Why did you hug me? You were pretending to be asleep, right!"

"I did not! I was just dreaming before." Tala answered with an adorable innocent face, his hair was ruffled and somewhat sticking downwards, as his bright blue eyes tried to blink the sleep away.

"You must be dreaming about some perverted dreams! So early in the morning and you are so disgusting already! I can't take you!" She shouted, not believing a word he said.

"Dreaming isn't something that one can control!" Tala retorted.

They both look at each other and then look away and then look back and started getting embarrassed.

"Why are you getting shy for?"

Kira wacked him one last time with the pillow. "I am not! Hurry up and get up! You're going to be late for class!"

She gets up off the bed and stomps away while Tala stares at her back with a happy little smile on his face.

At the school café later that day, Enrique, Johnny and Tala are having breakfast together.

"Really? You must be exaggerating! Did Kira really became your personal servant?" Enrique asked surprised.

Tala doesn't answer and just has this satisfied grin on his face.

"All day, 24 hour service! Wow,Tala! You have really gained something this time! We were just here worrying about not being able to resist the empress dowager. Eh, then don't you guys have to come to school together, leave school together, and then sleeping in the same place at night too?" Johnny asked smirking.

"What business is it of yours!"

Enrique laughs and Johnny pouts as his question wasn't answered.

"Anyways. Yesterday Big Sis gave us a call and told us to give our support to you and Kira. She said that she didn't want to see anyone else in the Ivanov family being manipulated. Don't be like her." Johnny stated.

"But from the looks of the present situation, everything seems to be pretty calm." Enrique pointed out chewing his waffle slowly.

Enrique suddenly smirked widely at Tala. "Since Kira is your own personal servant now, then you have to seize the opportunity." Both Johnny and Enrique looked at him with a very good impression of the cashmere cat.

"Just like what we discussed before. Before the dowager empress comes back, get her…"

"What?" Tala asked puzzled.

"It's that!"

"What that!" Tala asked exasperated.

"IT'S THAT!" Johnny shouted.

Johnny turned to Enrique. "Tala, wouldn't dare. When he sees Kira, he doesn't dare to do anything!"

"Why do you guys talk so much nonsense stuff today!"

"That's the way you originally are!"

"Right."

"If not, then you call San Cai in front of us right now and tell her that you will go to her room tonight." Johnny challenged Tala.

"I don't want to!" Tala turned his head away pouting.

Johnny and Enrique shrug their shoulders at each other as if to say, 'told you he's like that.'

"Fine! I'll call! Who's afraid of who!" Tala shouted getting annoyed at being looked down at.

Both Johnny and Enrique break out in a huge smile.

"Then I'll call for you." Johnny offered getting out his cell phone.

He dials the number and then hands the phone over to Tala. Tala grabs the phone out of Johnny's hand and puts it to his ear.

"Hello? Kira. I'll come to look for you in your room at 12 o'clock tonight. That's it. Bye."

He quickly hangs up before she can say anything. Enrique and Johnny both give each other high-fives in excitement and calls out "OH YEAH!" Then they both started shaking, snapping their fingers and moving around in their chairs.
