The last week before the summer vacation.

The last week was bad. Ruki would like it more if it would be boring. But it was upsetting.

Monday: Arguing with Ryo.

Thuesday: Arguing with Souma as a punishment for arguing with Ryo the day before.

Wednesday: Arguing with her mother because of a pink dress, a photoshooting on the beach and because of arguing with Souma on Thuesday.

Thursday: Arguing with the teacher because of a fight with Momoko. A girl who wanted to date Souma. (Ruki has broken Momokos nose)

Friday: Souma and Ryo were both on a footbal turnament. That means: No arguing, no fighting, no pink dress. (Her mother was on the turnament too because she wanted to cheer for Souma.)

Saturday: Arguing with Souma because of the party. (They have won the turnament)

Sunday: The Party. No arguing. But really bad mood because of the pink dress she ´accidently´has burned when her mother was out on Friday.

The summer vacation.

Ruki got up very soon. She wasn´t tired of the party last night. Althought the drinkturnament she had won last night let her head ache. She has won it. She had drunk seven bottles of beer. One bottle vodka and one bottle whyskey. And she wasn´t a bit groggily. Alcohol doesn´t work on her. But the headaches the day after it are really bad.

Ruki remembered well what happened yesterday. All of her friends were there. That meaned half of her school and all girls from the modeling team. Some of her singer friends who were teeny idols too. In fact there were like 30 persons last night on the party. And all of them were to drunk for going home. But it was planned that all of them will stay in Makino Residence until they feel well.It is good that the Nonaka mansion has 50 rooms. Four of them belonged to Ruki alone. One was her bedroom, the second one was for relaxing. The other one was her waredrobe. And the last one was a studio to record songs. Her mother had ´only´ two rooms. One bedroom and a wardrobe room like Ruki. And her grandmother had two rooms too. There was one livingroom, one eatingroom, lots of guestrooms and uncountable bathrooms . All of her friends were her and the house had still rooms which weren´t used. The house was not a ´normal hollywood house. It was a japanese palace. From out and inside. With a big garden with a water stream inside. With a bridge and lots of sakura trees. Lots of flowers and rare birds. Ruki had a personal american kestrel and a white owl in seperate big cages. The cages were so big that they didn´t seem to be cages. They were like big rooms with own trees and flowers. The beautiful birds greated Ruki as she stepped out of her chamber in the garden. In her green kimono and her open fire-red hairs she looked like a princess. Like not from this world. She took a birdglove and put it on her right hand. Then she opened the american kestrel cage and reached out for the big bird. The great and beautiful bird sat down on her right hand and as she moved it near to her face, the american kestrel grazed Ruki´s lips. It looked like a kiss. And Ruki wasn´t awere that same one was looking.

Suddenly Ryo was stepping out of the shadow of a tree. Ruki hadn´t hear him before and she was surprised and a little bit upser about herself. But the young man only smiled.

´You are beautiful! Wildcat! , he told Ruki calm.

´Save your compliments for one of the dumb girls at school or tell them to your fanclub members! I don´t want to hear it!, Ruki answered more upset.

´You are really cruel, little princess!´ , he contineud.

´Don´t call me little princess. Souma is the only one who can call me like that and not be beaten to death by me! , she screamed back.

´Okey kitty!

´I´m not a kitty. You know my name so use it! I´m not wildcat or kitty. And you also know that for little princess I will destroy you. I don´t want to hear those cuty things from you. I´m not like this stupid girls which scream ´kawaii!! if they see something fleecy and adorable or something like you! Compared to them, I´am normal!, she scoweled with more passion.

He could only grin about that. Yeah, this was his wildcat with the sharpest clows and the flashing eyes, Ryo thought.

´What? Why are you grinning so stupid? , she asked him.

´That´s why I love you. Wildcat! , he told her.

She was angry but she was blushing a little bit. He took an other birdglove and reached out. The colorful bird landed on Ryos hand and watched in his blue eyes. Ryo stroke the light blue and grey head of the american kestrel.

´What´s his name?, asked Ryo.

´Pierrot! , answered Ruki.

He rised his arm and the bird flew away. Ruki´s grandmother called for them. It was breakfast time. Ruki walked inside and Ryo followed her. There they were. In Ruki´s chamber. It was silently. To silently. Ruki turned aroud to face Ryo. She was waiting. Waiting for him to go out. ´I want to dress up. Go out!´ He grinned and stepped out of her room.

After breakfast, the guests started to go home. Untill Ruki was the only one in the living room. Souma was standing in the door and smiling. He watched his little sis kneeing down next to the table and playing with the phone. Her head was aching again. The door into the garden was open and Pierrot flew in and landed on her back. Then the bird walked over to her shoulder and down her arm. The claws hurted a little bit. Suddenly the phone rang. Ruki answered it. It was her manager. ´Ruki. You have to be in the studio at five o´clock. The video for your song „Clover" has to be made, And also we need to shoot some photos for the CD! , a female voice said. It was more like a command. Ruki put the phone down and carried Pierrot into the garden. She brought him into the cage and got ready to drive to the studio. It was 14:00 and to soon for work but she wanted to start now and end it before evening.

The photographer argued with the manager the whole time. They had made only twelve photos. Then Ruki was to stressed of both of them. She quited the set without dressing back to normal. So she was running through the town in a white lolita dress. And of course the had to run into him. As she bumped into his chest and fall back, he captured her by her wrist and took her in his arms. Ruki opened her eyes slow. She was tired of running and she was tired of working. But most of all she was tired of Ryo.

´YOU! , Ruki screamed out loudly.

All the passengers looked in her direction. Then she could count only a few secounds till all of them where hasting in her direction.

´Its always the same with you, wildcat! , can´t you just be quiet.

The people pitchforkened Ruki until she almost fell, but Ryo held her. It was one of the few times she was happy that Ryo was by her said. He brought her out of the crowd and tried to take her to a safe place. So he drag her into a side street and then into an other one. As long as they were together nobody noticed Ruki. They hadn´t speak while they were walking. Then Ruki dragged her hand

away from his. Suddnely both of them stopped.

´Thanks. , Ruki whispered.

´Wow! This is the first time you thanked me for rescuing you. What happaned? You aren´t in your best mood? Has some one done something to you, wildcat? , Ryo asked surprised.

Ruki negated. ´It´s okay. I am just tired! , she answered.

´Really tired... , then Ruki collapsed in front of Ryo. He could only catch her before she reaches the ground with her knees.
