Notes: Yes, I did it! Finally! After writing, rewriting, editing, deleting, writing a new one, editing, rewriting and editing for God knows how many hours (days actually), this chap finally made it. I'm so drained, but still have the energy to do my 'hoola-hoola' dance. I'm just so overwhelmingly happy. Again, this just happened in my imagination. So please bear with me.

Thank you so much for the reviews! Your comments are very much appreciated. If you may allow me to give you this- *mwah *mwah *mwah! There you go. Enjoy!

SUMMARY: The couple is overwhelmed with the news of Gii's engagement. How will this affect their relationship? Can they still stay together?

Takumi wandered in the halls searching for his friend Shingyouji. Where is he? He said we'll go meet with Gii and Misu together but he's nowhere to be found. The teen sighed. Maybe he can't wait to see Misu again that he decided to go ahead. Deciding, he about-turned and walked towards the student council room. As he neared it, he heard several voices talking.

"Well, it's clear now. I really consider you a good friend, Yuki, you know that. So I guess, it can't be helped then. Do what makes you happy. But please, just not with the kissing thing? It's really-" He knows that voice very well. It's Gii. He opened the door a little and took a peek inside. He saw Gii, Akaike-kun, Misu-kun and Yuki-chan.

"Embarrassing?"-Akaike. "Awkward?"- Misu.

"Yeah, like both."- Gii.

"Ah! I'm really sorry. That's not gonna happen again. Promise."- Yuki. Oh it's about earlier. He shook his head, trying to erase the memory from his mind.

"So what was it you want to talk to me about? You said it's important." "Well? What is it?"- Gii.

"Father sent me. Are you aware that our fathers are merging a very huge contract to further expand their companies' reach of industries?"- Yuki. So this is a business visit.

"I think I heard Father thinking about it last time I'm home. So it's official now?"- Gii.

"Yes, it is. And my Father laid down everything he has."- Yuki.

"What do you mean?"- Gii. Takumi strained to hear more. He slowly opened the door wide, not wanting to make any noise and slowly stepped inside.

"He wants everything to be perfect for this merger. So he propositioned to your father a sort of bound allegiance, as he likes to call it. They arranged for us to get married after you graduate."- Yuki. WHAT? Takumi felt his limbs go limp. Shaking, he held onto the door for dear life.

"We're engaged."- Yuki.

Everything went hazy then eventually turned black.

THUD!

There was a loud noise in the door. "Takumi!" Gii rushed to his lover's form crumpled on the floor, the others trailing behind him. He held the boy's head up gently in his left arm before gathering him up, carrying him bridal-style. My God! He heard Yuki. This is too much for him. He turned to his friends. Akaike is shaking his head, concern visible in his face as he held the door open for Gii. Yuki had her hand covering her mouth, eyes wide that started to glisten with tears starting to come out. "Im sorry." she mumbled. Misu stood behind her, worried about his roommate and supporting the shaking Yuki.

"We'll talk about this arrangement later. Right now, Takumi is my most important priority. Please excuse me." He walked out of the room, carrying the brunette downstairs to the infirmary, mindless of the curious stares and murmurs of students he passed along the way. 'Love, please hang on.' He whispered in Takumi's ear. 'This changes nothing between us. Do trust me, Takumi. We'll work things out. I love you.' He felt his eyes sting with threatening tears. Damn. He won't lose Takumi like this. No, I won't allow it.

oOo

He pressed his lips together, gripping the papers he's holding tightly he felt it crumble in his hands. Damn you, Hayama Takumi! I hate you so much! His eyes narrowed as his gaze followed Saki Giichi's figure hurriedly walking down the corridor, carrying the unconscious lad. I am better than you, way way better. You're just a good-for-nothing trash. How dare you steal my most important possession! He had to think of a way to get rid of him. As he can see, Gii undoubtedly will not let Takumi go, pretty obvious with the way he possessively holds the other guy and the loving gaze he only bestowed on him. So it has to be Hayama.

He stopped. Running after Gii are his friends Akaike, Misu and Miyuki. His eyes focused on the redhead. Ah, the bitch! Another rival. And a strong one. He knows how powerful her family is in the business world. So he'll be having a hard time competing with her. But she won't be staying here for long, will she? I heard she always travels back and forth. He smirked. He has the upper hand on her, he's got the time and opportunity to get Gii. After I take care of that Hayama, of course.

oOo

They sat quietly in the infirmary, each silently offering prayers and support to the unconscious Takumi. He lay on the bed, breathing barely audible, pale as paper. The doctor had already checked him for any injuries and thankfully, found none. So now, they are just waiting for him to regain consciousness. Gii is sitting in a chair he hoisted beside the bed, holding Takumi's cold hands and rubbing them as if to transfer his own heat and ease the icy feel, eyes never leaving his lover's face. He felt a light tap on his shoulder and turned around. "We have to go, Gii." Akaike said. "We still have to finalize our preparations discussed in the meeting. You don't need to go. Misu and I will cover for you." Misu nodded his agreement "Yeah." He smiled slightly and nodded, "Thank you." The guys just nodded then left the room.

Yuki had been quietly sitting across the room the whole time. When the two guys left, she walked closer. Moving ever so slowly, she sat at the foot of the bed, "I'm really sorry, Gii-" she started. The blonde slowly turned to her. "It's alright." She shook her head, "It's my fault. It's because I carelessly said those things. But honestly, I never intended for him to know. I was hoping to tell you about it first so we can discuss what we have to do." Now she got Gii's attention. "What do you mean? You can't be seriously thinking of following that damn arrangement! No, Yuki, I'm sorry."

"I'm not marrying you either." She cut him. He looked at her disbelievingly. "Oh I like you, that's true. You're my very first friend. I hold you very dear to me. But I'm not in love with you, idiot. I'm not marrying anyone whom I'm not in love with, even if he is a very good man." She snorted at him. "And I sure won't marry someone who's in love with someone else. I'm not a relationship-breaker nor do I plan to become one." This time, Gii can't help the smile tugging at the corners of his lips. This girl surely is a feisty one.

Imploring dark blue eyes looked at him. "I need your help, Gii." His jaws almost dropped to the floor. If there is one thing he surely knows about Yuki, it's that she never asks for anyone's help. Ever. "YOU." He pointed at her, "Need. My. Help?" "As embarrassing as it may be, but yes." Yuki confirmed, serious. This means she's really desperate and had no other options. "Actually, this is more of a give-and-take kind of thing. You help me, I help you."

Gii raised an eyebrow, "Last time I checked, I don't have any problem that would make me need you to help me." The problem with the freshmen started quite big but the tide is now rather calm. Besides, he has trusted friends looking out for Takumi, aside from him. And it's just a little less than two months before graduation. Yuki responded with a laugh, "You have one, my dear. You just don't know it yet. Do you really think your little 'façade' fools everyone?" The blonde straightened, eyes narrowing. No, it can't be! His hands tightenedthe hold on Takumi's hands protectively.

"You have a rather obsessive psycho stalking you, my dear friend." She informed him. He gasped, wide-eyed. "He will do anything to get you. And you know what that means." She gestured at the sleeping boy. Gii looked at his beloved. "If anyone dares to hurt Takumi, I will kill him." He clenched his jaw in anger but his eyes shadowed fear.

With a reassuring caress on the blonde-haired guy's hair, Yuki debated, "That's not necessary. We can get rid of him without you getting into jail. Let me help."

"Who is he?" Gii inquired.

"You'll know when the time comes."

"Yuki, I need to know who he is so I can plan to make sure of Takumi's safety and to warn my friends. I'm not risking anyone. If it's me that psycho wants, I'll get him myself." He is now nervously furious.

Yuki tried to calm him down, "Gii, it's not that easy. That's why I told you to let me help. With your current state and considering your feelings involved, you can't win against him. You might end up hurting both yourself and Takumi. I'm the only one who can stand against this person. If you really want your boyfriend safe, there's only one thing you can do."

"And what is that?"

"Act." She folded her arms around her chest. "Act normal. Don't let him notice that you are on your guard." She put a hand up when Gii was about to reply. "I won't let Takumi get hurt, Gii. He is my best friend now. I understand how you feel, really, I do. But if you don't trust me now, you may get into a bigger trouble. One that may require you to be away from him for a long time. Do you want that?"

He shook his head violently. The redhead sighed, "That's what I thought."

"So what do we do now?" Gii asked, looking at her.

She glanced at the bed. "Just stay calm. I'll take care of it, trust me. As I've said, you help me. I help you." Another glance at the bed.

Gii took a deep breath, silently pondering her words and finally nodded, then asked "So what help are you asking from me?"

The redhead smiled angelically, "I want you to break our engagement." And winked at the now-awake Takumi.

A/N: Uh, honestly, this chapter scared me. Especially with the psycho stalker thing. Pretty ironic actually, since this was all my idea. But still, it gives me the creeps. Next chapter will be a bit late because I will be going out of town for a couple of days or maybe a little more and when I return, my work will take my time. But I promise it will be up as soon as I finish my work. So for the meantime, please review! Even if you don't like it that much. I also accept ideas and recommendations :)
