Nope still don't own Special A.

Kei POV

"Kei! Kei! Please? Do it for Daddy!" Yes. That is my father calling to me in his child-like voice.

Why does this happen to me? "No. Absolutely not. I will not play your childish games." I told him sternly. It's almost as if I'm HIS father.

"Keiiiii! If you don't go to the omai, Ushikubo-san will kill me!" He started crying and pouting.

"I will not back down. You have gotten into this unnecessary mess and you will get out of if by yourself. I am already very busy with YOUR job. I have yet to check up on T Restaurant; I will be doing that today." I saw him pout for a while longer. His face turned bright and almost devilish, I glared at him.

"That's perfect, Kei! Just take her to dine at T Restaurant! You can check up on the restaurant and take care of the omai."

"I will do no such thing." I will stay firm. He has tricked me way too many times to count.

He sighed, "Fine. I guess the only way is force."

I felt the presence of his body guards surround me. I sighed to myself. I guess this won't be as easy as I thought.

I swiftly dropped down and spun, taking out five body guards. I turned around and saw three more charging at me with full speed, from all directions. Those are rookie mistakes. I jumped up and let them bash their heads together. Eight down, four more to go. The four surrounded me. I looked around and saw reinforcements coming. I have to get out of here.

I heard the sounds of a helicopter coming. I looked up. Shoot I let my guard down. The body guards got a bungee rope tied around my legs and pulled me into the helicopter. Dangling up-side-down from a helicopter was not my cup of tea.

Ushikubo Sakura was sitting impatiently in the helicopter when the bungeed me up.

"Well, look who finally decided to show-" She said but stopped, maybe she could sense the dark aura of anger that surrounded me.

I mumble inaudibly, "I didn't decide to, more like forced." I calmed myself and said, "I'm terribly sorry for your wait. We will be dining at T Restaurant. I'm, as you already know, Takishima Kei."

"I'm Ushikubo Sakura, as you already should know."

The flight was not long. I helped her off like a gentleman. We started walking toward the restaurant, until she turned around and stopped me in my tracks. I looked at her waiting for a response. She huffed and turned back around to start walking again. I could have sworn I heard her mumble, "He's not a prince… he's some kind of dark lord…"

I chuckled at her assumption. I opened the door to the restaurant for her. We were greeted by a waitress, "Welcome to T Restaurant! Please follow me to your table."

I looked up and saw the beautiful girl that greeted us. Her silky, long, black hair and her deep onyx eyes stunned me. I didn't even notice Sakura and the girl walked ahead of me to the table until Sakura snapped me out of it. I composed myself and sat down. Then I quickly realized that this girl went to my school, well, she just started attending last week. She was well known because of her top grades and flawless athleticism. What was her name…? Hanazono Hikari. She intrigued me.

"I'll be right back to take your orders." She was going to leave. I thought quickly and said, "We can order now." She left for a moment to bring us waters.

"Hello? Earth to Kei-kun! " Sakura snapped me out of my daze. Something must be wrong with me. I'm letting my guard down too much. I composed my face and said, "I'm truly sorry for my absence of mind. I would like to make it clear, though, that I have no intention of marrying you."

"No duh. I would never marry such an evil, boring man like you."

I looked at her and laughed, "Well I'm glad we agree."

Her expression showed her surprise, "Wow! You laughed! So you do have emotions." She smirked. I was about to ask what she meant but the beautiful waitress set down our drinks and asked, "How can I help you?"

She took Sakura's order then turned to me. Her wide onyx eyes captured mine. I couldn't help but stare back at her. "I'll have the same." I told her.

She looked down quickly and started walking away. Shoot. Did I freak her out? Of course I did. No one likes staring.

I looked at her walk straight into the food cart and knock all the food over my suit. She started apologizing nonstop. I couldn't help but chuckle at her clumsiness.

"What are you laughing at?"

I straightened up and said professionally, "Nothing, Hanazono-san. Please get this cleaned up and I will have a talk with you after closing. That will be all." I stood up and took Sakura with me.

After we walked out the door, I couldn't help but keep the smile off my face. I noticed the resistance I felt while walking. I looked back and saw that I was still dragging Sakura.

"Hey! Kei! Let go! Where are you taking me? Are you listening to me?" She protested.

I waved down to my driver and put her in the car. I told my driver, "Please take Ushikubo-san wherever she wishes and make sure she gets home safely. "

"Hey! You can't just leave me! Kei! Where are you going?" I ignored her and tapped the hood of the car to signal my driver to go.

I walked back confidently to my office at the restaurant. I thought about what I should say to Hikari after she was done with work. I was practically jumping in my seat with anticipation. I need to calm down.

After everyone left work, Hikari was the last one. I heard the switch for all the lights shut off and the jingle of the keys to lock up. She wasn't going to leave without talking to me was she?

"Hanazono Hikari-san. I wouldn't dare think that you would be leaving after I told you I wanted to talk to you." I said, hoping to keep my voice calm.

She walked into my office and looked surprised. Hmmm… maybe she didn't know I was her boss… I didn't really mention it to her. It would be weird to find out your boss is the same age as you.

I told her to sit down and she laughed, "We're the same age you don't need to use honorifics with me." Her laugh was like music to me, it surprised me to no end how refreshing it sounded.

I cleared my throat and continued talking about her little incident during lunch, while using her first name of course.

She apologized with a blush, "I'm sorry, Takishima-san! It won't happen again." I didn't want her to call me that.

I smirked, "Weren't you the one who requested no honorifics?"

She tried saying my name. It was rather cute. I smirked again, "Is there something wrong with my name?"

She blushed scarlet. I could get used to this. I enjoy teasing her. She started to making animal sounds; it made me chuckle to myself.

I decided to tease her more when she asked what I wanted to talk about, "Of course, I would like to put you through waitress training. You obviously need it." She apologized again but I changed the subject back to my name. I smiled at her.

All of a sudden she straightened up with pride and said, "I won't lose to you!" What?

I questioned her and she challenged me. Did I hear wrestling? What was she talking about? She can't possible think that her tiny stature could defeat me. I started to protest but she cut me off, and the next thing I know she was charging at me.

"You can't be serious." I muttered. I couldn't believe it.

I didn't move, when she came close enough I flipped her swiftly and put her down on the ground delicately. She stared at me, surprise, and blinked a couple of times. She couldn't have possibly thought she could have won.

I teased her again, "Are you sure you're number one, Ni-san?" But of course, she had to surprise me again. She apparently decided I was her rival. That's the farthest thing I wanted to be to her. But, I did find out something interesting. She doesn't like being called number two. I smiled to myself. This is going to be fun.
