Mimi woke up the next morning to make breakfast. She was surprised when she glanced at the clock, it's already 8! They are going to be late. She moved as fast as she can and hurried downstairs.

Then suddenly a smell of garlic filled the air. She rushed into the kitchen to see what's going on. The table was set already.

"Hey," it was Yamato and he was up already. "You were pretty tired last night, I didn't wake you up cause I think you need more sleep."

"Thanks," she muttered.

"However, this will cost you some additional things in favor of me," then he smirked at her, his face relatively closer to hers. Mimi suddenly felt a rush of heat on her face.

"O-okay, I will do whatever it is," she said.

"Good." He replied, "and Mimi, I am going to accompany you to your job later."

"But you said---"

"Hush now, my dear..." Yamato whispered, placing his forefinger on Mimi's lips. "I know you're surprised by my sudden change of plans. I think I'll be needing that job. I'll be in your photo shoot."

"Really!" Mimi exclaimed. "Wow. Your raging fans will surely love it, I can now imagine the twinkle in their eyes..."

Yamato shook his head in annoyance and disbelief.

"And it's disgusting. Come on, hurry up." He said as he sat on the chair.

"Hai!" she answered cheerfully.

She's always having a good disposition in life... whether she's sleepy or not. Yamato grinned to himself.

-------------------------------

The usual morning can be seen in the corridors of the University. Students rushing and walking past each other. Suddenly, TK collided with Yamato along the way.

"Hello, Ishida Yamato," he greeted casually.

Yamato just lifted his hand in response.

"Are you going to work later?"

"Definitely." He just said and walked away. "See you later," Jerk. He added in his mind.

"Alright. Mimi will surely be delighted." He smiled at him.

Yeah, she'll have to ride with me. I am definitely a better man than you. He just nodded.

TK smiled to himself. "No wonder he really has feelings for Mimi. I could just read it all over his jealous face... hehe..." he thought as he walked away.

TK was slowly walking along the corridor when he passed by a room. A professor and a student were there.

"Ms. Yagami, could you bring these to the faculty center?"

"Yes, ma'am." She replied. After the professor had gone, TK came to look at the room to see who's there.

"Oh, it's you, Hikari." He said as he came closer. "Woah, could you possibly hand carry everything by yourself? Let me give you a hand with that."

"No, TK, I'm fine, really." She answered. "you just go on, I'll be fine."

"I think you'll be not." He carried a bunch of books. "Let's go now, where's the faculty anyway?"

"Right, arigatou, TK."

"You're welcome," he said as they walked side by side.

-------------------------------

Mimi's last class finally came. Yamato had been standing outside her classroom for about half an hour already. When Mimi came out, she was with TK.

"Sorry to keep you waiting!" she said as she came to him.

"Let's go." Yamato instinctively pulled her away from TK.

"Hey," TK said "don't you strangle girls just like that." He gently took Mimi away from him.

"Don't bother me." was Yamato's snug reply. "let go of her." He glared at him.

"Okay." TK said, letting go of Mimi. "Don't hurt my friend, Yamato. You still don't know her value, that's for sure. If I see you hurt her again, I will definitely take her away from you."

He just turned away from him and continued to drag Mimi towards his car.

You'll never have her, jerk. I'll never let my slave go. Never ever. You'll have to go through me first.

Mimi didn't say anything nor had her usual happy expression when they got into the car. She pondered at TK's words a while ago.

"He's right, he doesn't have a right to treat me like this," she thought. But then, the enslavement contract crossed her mind. TK had always been good to her, and gentler compared to Yamato. The fact that he is her master and she's just his slave makes a whole lot difference.

Yamato noticed her utter silence, and he didn't say a word. Instead, he drove faster and forgot about the matter.

Why would I care on how she feels? He thought. As soon as they arrived at the studio, Yamato made the distance between Mimi and her shorter. He keeps looking around like a watchdog.

TK finally arrived and greeted them. "Hey, are you two ready?"

"Yeah." Mimi cheerfully said. Yamato sighed in contentment.

At least she gets cheerful quickly. He thought.

Their manager appeared to them. "Oh hi, Mr. Ishida. I'm so glad you considered our offer." He said.

"Yeah. Say thanks to my sweetheart," he pointed out to Mimi. She blushed instantly.

"I knew it. She's the reason you're out here." TK replied. "Well, we better get started."

Yamato glared at him instantly. Darn that TK!

"Okay then. Guys! Get the clothes ready and prepare the set!"

"Hai!"

-------------------------------

"That was fun!" Mimi replied. "I guess this would be a nice cover for the magazine!"

"Yeah." TK agreed. "You want some coffee? I'll get some for you."

"Oh, thank you." Mimi said, smiling at TK.

"I'll go with him." Yamato said nonchalantly, following TK to the vendo machine.

As soon as they were alone, Yamato approached TK.

"Why are you doing this?"

"I knew it. You were actually jealous." TK smirked at him. "At the first place, poor Mimi hasn't noticed anything. I guess your relationship is not what it seems to be, right?"

"Did she tell you anything?" Yamato asked him immediately. Darn it!

"No." TK answered, throwing him a can of soda. "Is there anything you want me to know?"

"Nothing. And please, don't interfere between me and my girl."

"I wasn't. I was just acting sanely to Mimi as her friend, I think nothing's wrong with that."

"Fine!" Yamato yelled and stormed off. "Just don't try to take her away from me... or else you'll regret the day you met me."

His words were strong enough to warn TK. He actually has no romantic feelings for Mimi, but that could possibly change as time goes by. Besides, he hasn't progressed in finding his brother and his first love, so he could forget all about them and love Mimi for a change.

As Yamato went back to Mimi, she noticed that he looks tensed and worried.

"Yamato-kun, what's the problem?"

"Nothing. Let's go. Here's your canned drink." He simply said.

"Oh, okay. Thanks. Where's TK?"

"I'll be fine, Mimi, you go ahead." He said, waving his hand.

"Bye!"

-------------------------------

"Hey, let's eat at a restaurant today." Yamato muttered. "I don't feel like going home at this moment."

Because I can't be with you any longer if we come back home...

"Okay." Mimi said cheerfully. "so where shall we eat?"

They ended up at the same Chinese restaurant they went when Mimi signed the enslavement contract. Mimi smiled to herself.

"This place surely brings back memories..." she said. "Right, Yamato?"

"Yeah, yeah. This was the place of our first 'date'."

"Date?" Mimi asked. She giggled. "Yeah, right..."

"Don't worry, I'll make sure you'll eat this time." Yamato assured her.

"Thank you." She whispered as they were led to a seat.

I hope he remains this nice to me all the way...
