hey there guys! and now, i present (drum roles)....CHAPTER 3!!!!!^_^

I didn't know how much time pass. It didn't matter to the both of us. I was just crying onto that person. I truly didn't care if I ruin that person shirt. He or she didn't either because she or he just keep on holding me in its arm.

Until I was finally sure the waterworks was enough –for now—I step back to look at the person's face while wiping the tears with the back of my palm. "Thank you for lending me your shoulder, Ru-" I stopped because the person I thought was Ruka was actually NATSUME HYUUGA!

I quickly jerked away from him and turned my back on him. My face felt hot and I knew I was blushing like mad.

"I let you ruin my Armani suit with your snot and that's what I get? Sad, sad." He sounded so arrogant.

If I wasn't blushing like mad, I would have face him, change to Yuuki and let her give him a nice kick in the gut. But I know I have to mind my health.

all of a sudden, a feeling passed through me. oh no…oh, god no. Yuuki just woke up. "Oh, my god" I whispered. This can't be happening. Why did she have to wake up now?

Mikan, why did you cry? Did somebody hurt you? Her voice turned from curiosity to worrying now.

It nothing, Yuuki. Just, don't come out right now, okay? Please. Please do it for me, I begged in my head.

Mikan, I'm sensing two people at the back of you. I can tell you for a certain one of them are that Hyuuga boy. I don't know the other one.

I'll explain it to you- I was cut off by her

Mikan, I sense a third person at the back of you now. Mikan! Explain…she said in a death tone.

I was about to answer her but as usual, Yuuki is just too impatient. She began taking matters into her own hands by taking over my body.

I didn't have enough mental energy right now to stop her so, she just took over with suprisingly great ease

i just want to pray for one thing at that moment. Oh, god, please don't let Ruka hate me.

(Yuuki's POV)

Since Mikan is too nice and fragile, its time to do it my way. My style.

I slowly turned to face the three people that was certainly watching me.

Huh. Two new faces. Great… just great… "So, mind telling me who in the world are you?"

Yuuki, don't talk rudely to them. Especially, Ruka! You got that?Mikan must have noticed my rudeness. Darn it.

Fine…I'll try not to, I 'promised' her.

"Before we tell you who we are, mind telling us who you are?" well, well, well. It looks like I wasn't the only one being rude right now.

Well, since I already know who he is, I might as well tell them who I am. Might scare them away from Mikan. Yeah, that's it, I thought as I began planning. "Well, its really easy, actually. My name is Yuuki. Please don't put the word Sakura behind me. It irritates me. Easy said, I'm what you called Mikan's other personality. Other half, or whatever it is. It wont make any difference. not anymore, it wont"

The man beside Hyuuga was probably in his twenties. Blond hair, nice pheromone. Could have been my type. If I have, anyway.

"So, where's polka dots right now?" Hyuuga ask. Rudely, again.

"Watching us from my mind window. Just like I do when she has this body. But, that not the point here. I have a lot of question for you. First of all, where in the world am I? I'm not in Paris am I?" I tried sounding not too mad but it was quite hard.

"why would we take you to Paris?"

"how should i know why you people do it? i'm not the one kidnapping here" i said it with a full fake innocent.

"Look, woman, we're in mine and Ruka's apartment. We brought-" he was cut off by bird boy.

"Not we. Its only you who did it." His eyes was on the floor.

Hyuuga looked annoyed. "Fine. I "brought" polka. Of course, with the help from a friend of mine. And don't worry, it's not Ruka" he added when he saw Ruka gave him a death glare.

yuuki, calm down now...i know what you're going to do. and i wont let it happen. you hear me?

oh, i hear you alright

good, now, stop giving them the death glare. you know what happen to the last people that you gave your death glare.

no...i dont remember

fine, i'll say of for you. he admitted to the psycho's home. all because of one glare. Mikan said with a clear deep sarcasm in her voice.

okay, okay, i got the message. got it.

i hate it when she uses the reverse psychology on me. If it wasn't for Mikan, I would have grab his collar and gave him a nice punch on his face.

Yuuki, please don't get into fights. Beside, we already have one in another one hour so, chill and save your energy for then, 'kay?

"Fine. But only this once." I unconsciously said out loud.

"Who you're talking to, polka? Have you gone mad?" one of his eyebrows stuck up and his hand on his waist.

Mad, maybe. With rage, perhaps, I guess. I just shrugged it off, though. "I was talking to Mikan, brat. Now, why did you kidnap me? you should fully aware of my background, I'm sure?" I said nicely. It left a bad taste in my mouth, saying things niecly. It so…doesn't suit me. Completely.

Blondie was the one who answered me. "How about we talk about this somewhere more comfortable?" nobody seemed to have heard him. That must have hurt him a bit.

"I have an offer to "discuss" with you. A nice deal, actually" Hyuuga said.

I could feel Mikan getting interested now. "Okay, I'm listening. So, what do you have to offer me? surely not some kind of ransom deal or anything, right?" I only agreed to "listen" just because of Mikan. Nothing more and nothing less.

"No. I'm offering you a year contract with the H&R company. A year contract of being our singer." He said with the look of determination.

"Why should we do it?" I wanted to test him more.

"What, don't you want it? All the girls are crazy for a contract with our company." He looked strangely puzzled now. Funny…

sigh."I think what I said was why should me and Mikan do it? Give a reason why should we?"

his expression looked hilarious. He looked angry and a bit ashamed. Good for him. "Well, if you take this contract, I can guarantee you fame, money and an apartment and of course, full in charge of all of your song, by that, I mean you get to choose what song you want to use in your album or you can use our songs. Up to you."

Both of us thought about it for a while. well, I guess we can use it to kill time. Plus, he said we can have our own apartment so I guess we don't have to stay at that hell-like house anymore. Tsubasa and Youichi are going to be happy. He always wanted us to get out of the house since mom died and dad remarried…

I could sense the sadness in it. I made up my mind. For the sake of Mikan. "Alright but I am laying the rules here. One, I get to choose the apartment and I get to change school. Second, I want my existence to be a secret. Third, my parents cannot be involved in this in any way or have any hold ships towards any of the success that I will make. My money, fame and whatever. Got it?"

Blondie typed all that I said to his PDA. Hyuuga and Ruka thought about it for a while. They both gave a glance to each other and Hyuuga nodded.

"Now, its our rule. Ruka is yours and mine's producer while Narumi is both of our's agent. Deal?" he held out his hand for me to shake.

I went to him and shake it. His hand felt warm…Wait! What am I thinking!!!!

Well, since everything is done now, mind giving the body back to me? please?mikan requested.

sure, sure.I think I'll go back to sleep back a bit. Remember the fight we have in another about forty minutes, I reminded her.

fine. sigh. Now, lets do it.

I took a last look at them and closed my eyes. In an instance, the body was Mikan's again…

(Mikan's POV)

ahh… the feeling of having my body back sure is nice. However, I can't say the same to the three that was staring at me like I was some kind of alien. Well, apart from Hyuuga.

"Oh, you guys must be shocked." The blond guy and Ruka nodded while their face was still looking dumbfounded. It was funny.

"Don't worry. Its just that, Yuuki has a black hair and green eyes. I have a chocolate hair and eyes so, its bound to change when we switched." I tried explaining it in the simplest form. I guess it didn't work judging by their faces.

The blond guy was the first one to recover. He faked a cough. "Well, now that that's done, I'll go and prepare the contract. Later." And with that, he went away…

I looked at Ruka for answer. He seems to get it. "His name in Narumi L. Anjo. He's the agent for Nastume and you from now on. Don't worry. He may be a bit weird but he's actually nice and can be wise when time calls for it."

Natsume looked skeptical. "Weird? He's downright psycho." He looked at Ruka like he was foreign language.

"Natsume, you have to admit that's he's one heck of an agent. Besides, he was the one who made you took the job that if you didn't take, you wouldn't be in an apartment like this."

For that, Natsume had no words. I was glad that finally his ego is downsized by Ruka. Ha. Serves him right for always being so arrogant and thinks he know it all!

After a few minutes, the piano room was officially filled with quite an intense silence. I didn't know what to do. I guess I could just wait for time to pass but that would be a waste of time.

I know! I could go and buy Fruits Basket's cd. I haven't bought it yet. And there's a new manga coming out today! Maybe if I'm fast, I could be at the meeting place just in time for the fight. If I'm late, I'm sure Hotaru and Anna could take care of them. I'm sure they could.

"Well, I think I'll go now. Just give me a second to go and get my stuff in your room" I gave a half-hearted wave to Ruka and began making my way to the door. The weird thing was, Natsume didn't even try to stop me. Very weird.

I opened the door to his room and just went inside without a second thought. I grab all of my things. I slid my bag to my shoulder and closed the door behind me before I got out of the room.

I turned around to start walking to the door Ruka showed me when we were walking to the kitchen –he said it was the only house exit— when suddenly "AHH!" I screamed when Narumi suddenly showed up in front of me.

I dramatically rubbed my chest. "Are you trying to shock me to death?" I said while breathing deeply in and out.

"Of course not. I just wanted to know when I can meet your parents?" that question caught me off guard. My breathing stopped immediately.

"What do you want to meet them for?" I really didn't want to see, even look at my father's face if I could. Let alone let people meet him. He is not worth it. Especially, after what he had done.

"I just need his signature to let loose his authority of you to me. That way, he cant have any of your fame." He said it so nicely and over protectively. He was what my father used to be. Kind and loving. Not anymore, I guess.

I recovered from the shock of the question just in time. "Sure. He doesn't have any work tomorrow. I check his schedule for tomorrow. So, you can just come at about ten."

He smiled." Well, that's good. So, when are you going to choose your apartment?"

I shrugged. "Don't know but maybe in another week. Who knows?" I check my watch and it was 25 minutes to fight. Darn it! Now I can't buy that cd and the manga. Oh well. Maybe tonight.

"Narumi, I have to go now. I'll see you later." We bowed to each other and I left him to think whatever he was going to think. And thus, twilight shows up when I got out of the apartment. Another ending…

(Natsume POV)

I let polka walk away just like that because I was thinking deeply about how can that girl cried so much.

As soon as I got into the house just now, I immediately heard a cry. Why did I went and hugged her?

As I look down on the floor while thinking, I saw a bottle. I went to it and picked it up. I was shocked when I saw the bottle. It was a meds bottle. I circled the bottle to check who's the owner and what's it for. My eyes were wide open as I read the details.

It wrote Mikan Sakura. That wasn't the only thing that shocked me.

"It can't be…cant…be" I breathed out. My head was full with thoughts about the meds right now.

"What's the matter Natsume?" Ruka asked from behind my shoulder. He must have seen the meds too because after that, he suddenly stopped his breath.

"Oh my god. Natsume. She has what your mother used to have. Oh my god. Oh god, no." Ruka sounded shocked either. He's still mumbling about it. Well, join the club.

Right now, Mikan Sakura, a singer that's under my team's care from now on, has the same thing my mother used to have. And she's dead now.

I could never forget what killed my mother. No matter what.

She has it.

Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). "Natsume, what are we going to do? Should we give the meds back to her? I mean, that's the right thing to do. She might have to use it now. Yeah that's it. Let's go." He puts his hands on my shoulder. I shrugged it off. I slowly shook my head while still staring at the meds.

"No, let her come to us. Besides, I want some answers. And I want it fast…"my voice trailed off. The anger was building inside of me now.

so, how was it? are the curiousity is your heart burning like crazy. well, i'm almost finished with chp 4. just need some extra touching. keep the comments waiting. REVIEW! PLS!!!!!
