Disclaimer: Po T is Not mine.

Notice: Sorry for updating late because it's the holidays. You know when we are all busy whatnot. Forget about that. My other computer, what I usually go onto has gone crazy for the past… Couple days or so. And I have the completed chapter on that computer. I check if there was any Viruses or things like that. And so I realized that my computer days are numbered. The Power Supply is about to go out. So if that happens, My dad would not buy another computer since we have two other ones and a laptop. So then I won't have my computer anymore, which sucks ass. Any hoo… I'm remaking this chapter and hopefully finish it before schools starts again, I have two days to go through. So… Enjoy.

Oh yea, thanks for the story alerts, story faves, but not a lot of reviews o 3o;

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you though, every time that happens I feel guilty of not updating as fast.

ME and my stupid head not processing fast enough. ACK I've been blabbering. Gotta write!


And so it's winter. Hanako moved back to her place and her life went somewhat the same, except that many of the fans have been bugging her because of the sports day incident. Hanako really didn't care as long she graduates, which is in 5 months.

"5 more months I could get through with this. Yea just help me Kami."

She's been pushed around and been bullied but somehow come out unharmed. Atobe has realized this for quite awhile now but didn't want to do anything about it because it's best to love afar than in a war that has come between them.

A month has passed and the bullying has increased because of the holidays. She has quit being manager for both clubs and joined the art club recommended from Kino-Chan after the long bugging from her. She entered into many contests and won some of them made third in most. Now realizing that she has a rival every time she sees the outcome. The person beats her or she beats them, it's either way. But that wouldn't haunt her, she doesn't care about it anymore. The art department always says you are representing Hyoutei, don't let us down! And so forth. Hanako has always wondered that if it's their ego or pride for their school. It's so annoying. Representing this, must win that, and yea you get the point.

"Merry Christmas, Kino-Chan. Here I drew this, when you were painting on the canvas."

Hanako handed over a big sheet of paper.

"Wha? You didn't have to do this, you already did lots for me this year."

"Like how?"

Hanako asked her and Kinoka blushed. Without the paper in the way she did that little finger together thing (think of Hinata from Naruto).

"Well Wakashi-Kun and I are now… You know… An Item…"

Hanako smiled and in her eyes it was jumping in joy.

"YES! IT WORKED! Let's do a happy dance! Do do do da di a do…"

Hanako walked passed Kinoka and patted her on the shoulder then gave her thumbs up. Leaving a flustered Kinoka behind.


"Papa! Papa! When will I see Onee-San?!"

No answer.


"Mi-Mistress Rui, welcome ba-back from school. A visitor is here to see you. "

Hanako nodded and looked into the living room. An elderly man was sitting there, he looked stern and the child next to him was about her waist high, his eyes gleamed in joy and fun.

Hanako bowed to them, making sure that the guest is welcomed like they are at home.

"Welcome to the Rui Estates. May I ask why you seek for me?"

His eyes gazed into her soft ones. She felt cold the minute he did that.

"I'm your father, Hanako. This is my younger son, Kenji. I have heard you been associating with some of the top businessmen sons, Atobe for instances. I've considered you as a daughter but not a CEO woman."

Hanako just stared.

"I'm not a lost child. I have a father that actually came and told me. My heart it's… feeling better. And a Younger brother? Oh kami…"

"Now you need to become closer to Atobe's son, or I won't let you come back into the—"

"DING DONG!"

Her father was cut off by the doorbell. He sighed and rubbed the bridge between his eyes.

"Mistress Rui, someone is looking for you at the doorbell. He said, "Ore-Sama will not like to be waiting outside of the estate, hurry up and welcome me in.'"

Hanako turned to her father and he had this mean glare. She bowed down to him and scurried off. She saw Atobe at the door twirling his hair. She glared at him.

"What do you want? I'm really busy right now."

She sneered at him.

"Who's more important than me, Ore-Sama?"

She gave him a look. He just gave this convincing look somehow. And yes, she did give in.

"It's my…… Father…"

She looked at him and saw his eyes change from convincing to anger. He pushed Hanako aside and stalked into the living room where he was. She ran into the room and immediately bowed down.

"Sorry, he just came inside. He will be waiting for me to speak with him later. Come on, just leave already."

She muttered at the end, after her explanation. She grabbed his arm and urged him to move. But he didn't budge; he just stood there with that glare in his eyes.

"Ahh… The same color eyes as your mother, Atobe Keigo-Kun. I see you've acquainted with my dear daughter. Please to see more. Hanako, I'll show myself to one of the rooms. Please come after you have finished talking to him. Kenji, come along now."

She nodded and bowed down to him. He nodded and that's about it. Kenji looked back at her but she wasn't looking at him.

She glared at Atobe.

"Atobe, what brings you here?"

She asked him.

"What is that man doing here?"

He changed the subject.

"I asked you first."

She did a comeback.

"Older ones go first."

He replied to her, staring down at her.

"So you're old now?"

She asked and smirked at him.

"ORE-SAMA IS NOT OLD!"

He yelled back.

"But you just said, older people go first. And every time you say older, means in my dictionary you are like 30 years old."

Hanako did a remark back at him.

"Then you are like a child. A Four year old to be exact."

She twitched. She couldn't say anything else.

"Tell me. Why was that man here?"

He looked concerned.

"He's my father, what else?"

She replied to him.

"That's not all of it, I know that for sure."

He told her and put his hand on her shoulder.

"I… You… Well…"

She sighed. She was never opened like this.

"Forget it. I told you already. So tell me why you are here?"

He rolled his eyes.

"I can see that you are being bullied those last couple of months. Don't hide the fact. Right now you have bruises on your body. Am I correct?"

She looked elsewhere.

"No. What are you talking about? I'm just fine. No bruises on my body. See?"

She showed her arms and legs.

"I'm just fine."

With the lightest touch, he touched the clothing of her clothing and she winced. He placed pressure on her back.

"Like I said, bruises. Maybe even cuts. My insight doesn't fail me."

She walked away from him.

"Just… Leave me alone or I'll get more."

She told him and to the staircase. He followed. She snapped.

"Are you like a lost dog that is trying to find a way around? You are so annoying Atobe."

She told him and he looked down. Looked like he was shocked when she said it. She looked at him and he just walked away. She felt guilty saying that but her back would get worse every time he comes near. Her father told her to become near. He is sentencing her a death wish?

"Why does it hurt? I hate this feeling. Please leave me alone. Let me go back into my corner."


"Onee-Chan! Onee-Chan! Wanna play? I've long to play with you!"

He shouted. Hanako nodded and played with her younger brother. At least someone in her family loves her.

"When is your birthday Kenji-Chan?"

She asked him. Trying to get to know him better.

"November 15th, Onee-Chan! When is yours?"

He stopped and asked with the ball in his hand.

"Right after yours, November 16th. I love sweets, but I never got a cavity. How about you?"

She heard him sigh. At that moment she felt sorry for him.

"I never had any sweets in my life… Otou-Sama hated sweets and forced me not to eat any… He told me that he was being careless and let you eat sweets."

Hanako became quiet.

"Sorry... I pressed some buttons."

They continued to play until he was tired and went to take a nap.

She walked into the kitchen and instructed the cooks to prepare for dinner. She went and took a shower.


"... Poor Ototo-Chan."

She heard her phone go off. She turned off the water and stepped out of the shower.

"Hello? Rui Here."

She said.

"Ore-Sama is on the line. Meet me at the park in 15 minutes."

Atobe said over the line.

"Uhh... Ok? It better not be long."

She hung up and finished her shower.

"Atobe, what do you need? I need to get back home and accompany my father at dinner."

He simply stared at her. Then he sighed.

"Well... I planned to take you somewhere. But you are already preoccupied with THAT man. Oh well... I guess I'll see you at school now."

He left her at the park. She twitched and left without saying a word.


After dinner she went into her room and started on her homework. It was kind of weird because usually she's done in the matter of seconds when it comes to math. But many things come to her mind, and made her think.

"Why was Atobe being so weird today? Being so overly protective? Then Father comes home without saying any word about it. Kenji is adorable."

She finished the last problem and got ready for bed. Atobe still lingered her mind and she ended up having a dream about him.


EDIT

Well... I redid this chapter. The majority of this was still from the original chapter os it sort of seems the same till the ending.

I fixed it at least : )
