Natsume's POV

"Yeah Mikan, all of us are here at Oyaji's. Koko, Kitsu, Mochu, and Sakura. I think Tono's somewhere here too but why the hell should I care." I put up my feet on the coffee table as I wait for the others to enter the living room.

"Is Tsubasa-senpai coming too?"

"Nope." I popped the 'P' " He's still probably in Hong Kong 'cause he is supposed to give me a call once he's done with our business there."

"Oh okay. I have to go sweetie. My shoot's next and I still need to talk to the photographer. I love you Natsume. I'll call again later okay? Tell Oyaji-san I said hi!" Mikan made a loud 'chu' which made him laugh out loud.

"Alright. I love you too, Polka. Don't show too much skin or else." I dropped the call and tossed the phone aside.

"Will Mikan make it on the 5th, Natsume?"

I stood up and gave a low bow as Oyaji entered the room. "Oh just straighten up, Natsume" his grandfather chuckled as he sat on a grand chair near the couch were I was sitting.

"Of course she will come, Oyaji. Who would dare insult the Amamiyas?" I said jokingly. "That was one hell of an invitation you made, you know."

Masaki laughed.

"Where are the rest of the boys?"

"Probably in their rooms, taking a bath. We stayed up late catching up with each other that we just fell asleep at the lounging area at the La Guardia. Well, Sakura had Toru so she still ended up sleeping in her room. He carried her the moment he saw her sleeping at one of the lazyboys. Why can't he treat us the same?"

"Because that will be plain stupid, goshujin-sama." Toru replied as he entered the room behind Sakura.

"Boss." Toru went over to where Masaki was sitting and dropped on one knee. He rose when he was told to.

"Oh shut up, Toru." I glared at him but stood up so we can do our little gangster handshake. We've been friends since we're in diapers and I really appreciate that he has taken upon himself the responsibility of watching over my baby cousin.

Sakura went over to our grandfather and kissed his both cheeks. "I miss you Ji-chan". I smirked at this. Only Sakura can get away with calling the Amamiya Masaki an old man. Even I wasn't allowed to do that. Hm. I guess Sakura and Tomoyo can get away with it. Aoi never wanted to call him that, she preferred 'Granddad' since she was raised in America.

Sakura went over to where I was sitting and sat on my lap to give me hug "Natsu-nii! Ohayou!" she planted a kiss on my cheek and I kissed her on the forehead. I know she loved it when we do that to her.

"Natsu-nii? What do you need from me, Sak?"

"Hehehehe. Remember that amazing restaurant you brought me once by the beach? Can we go have dinner there tomorrow night? Pretty please? I've been thinking of their lobster for days."

Oh damn those puppy eyes.

"You know people might recognize us there."

"We'll wear wigs and stuff. That's okay, ne, Jii-chan?" She turned to our grandfather. I know I've lost the case.

Masaki has been watching the two the whole time and was trying not to laugh out loud.

"Nattie." was his simple reply.

"Ugh. You brat." I pinched Sakura's nose. "For a 24-year old, you sure can act like a spoiled middle schooler."

She laughed as she got off my lap. "Where are the other brats?"

"We're here, we're here!" I can hear Kitsu holler from the hallway.

He, Ruka, Koko, Mochu, and Tono went over to Masaki and dropped on one knee before plopping to their favorite seats in the room. Everyone has their own favorite seats since they all grew up together in the manor. Sakura's is the window seat but she also usually sit beside him in his couch. She has always stuck wherever he was and followed him wherever he goes if Tomoyo and Aoi weren't around.

Thinking of the other two females in our family, I let out small sigh and massaged my temples. Why do I have to think of such depressing things when I am freaking starving.

Normal POV

Sakura

"Nattie, are you okay?" She asked with concern in her voice.

"So I'm back to Nattie?"

"Well I already got what I wanted." She gave a melodious laugh.

"Yea I'm okay. I suddenly felt lightheaded. I am starving, aren't we going to eat yet? Where's Touya?"

"Oh he'll be late so he called a while ago to say we can have lunch first" Tono answered.

"..." Natsume glared at him. "Why the hell did you not say so earlier?"

"Hahahaha I forgot."

"Alright. Let's all go the dining room before Nattie flares up." Masaki said as he stand up to leave the room first. Everyone followed after him.

They were on their first dessert when Touya appeared at the dining area with his wife, Kaho. Sakura stood up to give her brother and sister-in-law a hug and kissed their cheeks. The couple then took their seats and informed the servant that they have already eaten so they will just have coffee together with the desserts.

Touya sipped his coffee before turning to his sister.

"So Sakura, all the preparations for your party has been finished. Invitations have been sent out to every prominent family we are involved with here in Japan, Hong Kong, the United States, and London. Although we have limited it to only a maximum of 4 attendees per family, we are still expecting about a thousand guests."

"A thousand! Isn't that too much? I thought it'll be held here?"

Natsume rolled his eyes. "Have you forgotten how huge this place is?"

She stuck out her tongue on him.

"Have you finalized it to the media?" Masaki asked Touya.

"Yes, Oyaji. Tono did last week. We decided to give the rights of broadcasting coverage to 2 television stations. They have also signed the contract we prepared. They are to arrive and leave at the designated time. If they breach the contract, let's just say, I reminded them who the Amamiyas are."

"Good. Tono and Toru, make sure our security will not have lapses on that day. You know how high profile everyone in attendance is."

"Yes, Oyaji."

"The media is scheduled to leave the premises at exactly 21:15." Tono informed everyone.

Sakura dropped her dessert fork loudly on her plate.

Natsume gave her an assuring look from across the table. Koko and the rest of her cousins did the same and she smiled at them. She apologized for her clumsiness as she resumed to eating the rest of her cake.

Tono cleared his throat and continued.

"At exactly 22:00, after making sure that no media personnel is within a 20-meter radius from the manor's perimeter, we will announce to everyone that Sakura is the Kuro-hime of the Black Diamond Organization. For three years, nobody outside the org knew that she has been leading the Black Diamond with Natsume."

Sakura drank her tea to calm her nerves down. She's thinking of Syaoran and his possible reactions again and she's starting to freak out. She almost jumped when she felt her phone vibrate in her dress pocket.

'Chill, babe.' It was Koko. She tried not to smile, just in case Ji-chan can see her. 'Thank goodness for Koko.'

'Bzzzzz.'

'Got your back, sweetheart.' 'Damn, Kitsu!' She covered up her smile by taking another sip of her tea.

'Bzzzzz.'

'Sweet cheeks (insert the peach emoji).'

"WHAT THE HELL, MOCHU!" 'Whoopsie' Everyone was looking at her. Touya and Tono were giving her disapproving looks and her stupid cousins were trying to hold back their laughter.

"Sakura, you know very well I do not allow mobiles during family meal time. Have you lost your manners? Get that thing from her, Toru." Masaki said, clearly disappointed with his granddaughter.

"I'm sorry, Oyaji." She said in a small voice, lowering her head slightly.

'Well played, Saku. Now he's Oyaji, huh.' Natsume has really taught his minion well, he thought proudly.

Masaki smiled at her. "It's okay sweetheart" he said in a soft voice. Then he looked at his grandson who was sitting farthest from him.

"Mochu! Give your mobile to Toru as well. You little brat!" he barked. Now everyone, except Masaki and Touya, were laughing.
