Small Note

Sakura: I figured everyone would be happy that I got rid of the publicist. Alright for this chapter we will be meeting the rest of the Sennen Family and some of Yuugi's family so enjoy!

Chapter 3: Smile

A month seemed to go by in no time and it was extremely hard to hide Yuugi as Atemu's fiancée. Reporters were always trying to sneak in a get a look or two, but were caught and kicked off the property before they could get any photos. Yuugi loved Atemu to death, but she was sick and tired of being trapped in the mansion. There were a few times she was able to leave the property, but that was only when she dressed as a maid and pretended to be running errands for the family. Amun also was in charge of escorting her everywhere and there were rumors going around that Amun had a new girlfriend which was a maid at the manor. The two had good laughs at that, but it would piss Atemu off.

Both Yuugi and Atemu wanted to tell the world the truth, but in a way they were trying to avoid Yuugi being hounded down by reporters and paparazzi. If Yuugi wanted to still be able to go to the mall and shop or go any other place like a normal teen than it was best to be kept a secret. There was no telling what stories the reporters would make up if they knew Yuugi was Atemu's fiancée and saw her hanging out with someone who wasn't Atemu. All kinds of stories would go flying and Atemu never wanted to see Yuugi's face on a magazine calling her a cheater.

It was currently the beginning of July and Yuugi was hanging out in the Sennen family indoor pool cooling off from the hot day. She would often find herself by herself most of the time in the house given everyone else had jobs to do. Amun and Atemu both had careers ahead of them while Yuugi had only just finished high school and was trying to decide whether to wait a year or go to college in the fall or spring. She had already apply to Tokyo University which was location in Tokyo, Japan and got in, but after getting proposed to by her lifelong crush she was unsure if she should wait. It wouldn't be hard to go to college and keep up her relationship with Atemu given the Sennen family live in Tokyo, but Yuugi had been waiting for this moment for years. She had been so long away from Atemu and she just wanted to stand by his side and never leave it.

A sigh escaped her lips as she also thought of her grandfather and friends back in Domino eight hours away from Tokyo. She had been living with her grandfather in Domino after what happened eight years ago and had made some great friends. Most of them would be going off to college soon and there was the debate to go back and see them for the last of summer vacation. Sure she would get to see Atemu for the rest of her life, but she didn't want to leave. Yuugi even thought about asking Atemu to go home with her so they could meet him, but then she remembered them talking about keeping things quiet even from friends.

It had been hard talking to all of her friends over the last month on the phone and not let them know about the great news. She hated keeping a secret like this from them. Hell she hated not being able to tell them that she knew the Sennen family. Most of her friends were huge fans of the Sennen children because all of them were super talented. The only thing her friends knew was that she had come to Tokyo to see her parents who worked for a company and couldn't take care of her so her grandfather did. Which was a huge lie, but she knew they wouldn't be able to see her, the same if she told them why she was really coming to Tokyo…

Yuugi lean back against the wall of the pool and looked at the ceiling. "Why is my life so hard?"

"Why didn't you tell me you had come home?" A female voice spoke up looking down at her.

Yuugi jumped and turned around to see a beautiful woman with black hair pulled into a bun and blond bangs framing her face much like Yuugi's. Her eyes were a dark forest green which did wonders with her pale skin because it made her eyes pop. She wore a long pink sun dress with a white tank top underneath.

"Mother..!" Yuugi shouted holding a hand to her chest. "Why did you scare me like that?"

Yukari Mutou giggled at her daughter. She was a beautiful lady for someone who had just reached the age of forty. Yukari was a light spirited woman who cared deeply for her daughter even if she wasn't always around like Yuugi's father. She was a model and dancer with many years still ahead of her because of her youthful looks. Amara and Yukari had met while going through modeling school and Amara helped Yukari out when many turned her down saying she was too young. Amara still helped her a lot even after retiring from her career as a model because of an accident that left a nasty scar on her leg and even kept Yukari from quitting her career when she felt like she needed to.

Yuugi loved her parents so much and understood many times when they had to keep her in the dark from letting the public knowing she was there daughter. It often left Yuugi at home with a nanny plenty of times or over at the Sennen manor to play with Atemu. The paparazzi could be cruel when it came to rumors such as one that Yuugi was Yukari's child from another man that wasn't Yuugi's father. That rumor was put to rest quickly when Yuugi's father publicly show DNA results from the hospital that Yuugi was his.

"Hey can't we get a hug?" A male voice spoke up moving out from behind the woman and putting his arm around her.

The male was a head taller than Yuugi and Yukari with bight amethyst eyes like Yuugi and wild black hair with red highlights. He wore blue jeans and a red tank top with a leather jacket.

Hiroshi Mutou was a strong willed forty five year old man. Yukari and Hiroshi met through friends back in Domino before they moved to Tokyo to get married. Hiroshi also wanted to move to Tokyo to start a career playing guitar and song writing for artists before he turned thirty. Lucky Yukari met Amara through modeling school and Hiroshi ended up being signed by Aknamkanon in helping artists write songs when they got suck. He made a lot of money through that which was good because before long Yukari and Hiroshi welcomed baby Yuugi to the family. When Yuugi turned five Hiroshi hit it big when a band was looking for a new guitarist and he signed on for the job. He had just ended a tour with his band and to his surprise when he comes home he finds out that his daughter is staying with the Sennen family and hadn't told him or his wife.

Yuugi looked between her crazy parents before climbing out of the pool to give them wet hugs. She loved her parents a whole lot, but it was hard sometimes being the daughter of two famous people when she in turn was nothing special.

"It's good to see the two of you." Yuugi said after she was let go and went to get her towel to dry off.

Yukari placed her hands on her hips. "How come you didn't tell us you were home?" She questioned. "I was not but two hours away in the next city over doing a photo shoot. When I got home yesterday I called Amara to see how things were going and I find out you have been staying here."

Yuugi sighed. "Atemu and I were trying to get a down low on things happening here. It is bad enough they are hounding Atemu I don't need them hounding me when they find out who my parents are. I've been able to keep that a secret for the time being. The reporters think I'm some maid who works here."

"What has been happening here?" Hiroshi asked wanting to know what his daughter had been up to. He was happy to hear that most had forgotten who Yuugi was since she went to live with his father. It gave Yuugi a chance to live a normal teenage life which is what both he and his wife really wanted her to have.

The only thing Yuugi had to do was show her parents the ring on her finger before Yukari squealed like a little girl and admired Yuugi's ring. "He seriously proposed to you!" She exclaimed before pulling Yuugi into another hug. "Oh baby I'm so happy you and Atemu are back together."

Hiroshi smiled. "I wasn't sure either of you would ever make up." He reached out and patted his daughter's head. "I hope you aren't rushing into things."

Yuugi broke free from her mother and smiled at them both. "We're taking things slow at the moment. There are personal things between us that need to be clear up before we tell the public about us and decide when to get married. For now we just want to be engaged and feel close again."

Yukari wrapped her arm around her daughter and started to lead her out of the room. "Well you will have to give me all the details about when he proposed and what you have been up to for the last month."

Hiroshi and Yuugi both sighed at the same time knowing it was going to be a long afternoon.

The next day two more individuals of the Sennen family finally arrived after being away for a while. The two happened to be Atemu's other two siblings who were both younger than Amun, but older than Atemu.

Speaking of Atemu, he sighed as he lay out on the couch in the living area. He was trying to fight off a headache that had been plaguing him for the past few days. One because of the non-stop family coming back home and two the fight to keep Yuugi a secret…

Yuugi sat beside his side kneeling on the floor. In her hand was a wet cloth to cool down Atemu's warm forehead. He was on the border line of a fever and Yuugi wanted to prevent one. "Honey, why don't you lie down upstairs in your room?"

Atemu groaned and moved the cloth from his forehead. "I'm fine sweetheart I just need to rest a few minutes before my brother and sister get here."

Amun walked into the room and took a seat on the armchair across from them. "Little too late there little brother, they both just pulled in the drive a few minutes ago."

"Baby brother..!" A hyper female voice sounded as said woman walked into the room. She had a huge grin on her face at seeing her baby brother again. "I heard from a little birdy that someone got engaged and this time to the right girl."

Yuugi smiled up at Atemu's sister. "It's good to see you again too Yumi."

Yumi Sennen was a beautiful young girl with looks just like her mother. She had short chin length black hair and blond bangs. Her skin was tan and unlike her brothers she had light gray eyes like her mother. Her birth name was Akila Sennen, but after her acting career started in Japan, she changed her first name to have a more Japanese style name. The 27 year old had begun acting when she was 20, but when she was a little girl she made small appearances in kid commercials for clothing. The last two years she had been in the United States working on a movie.

Her outfit as normal was a pair of jeans with a pink t-shirt with a black skull on the front. She was a bit of a tom boy not liking wearing skirts and dresses because of having grown up in a house full of brothers.

The next person to walk into the room was the quiet soccer superstar Kek Sennen. He was the only one in the family who had a name that didn't start with an A. The 26 year old was the odd one of the siblings being overly quiet to everyone but his family and being very bright. He graduated from high school early and went to Tokyo University on a soccer scholarship and spent two years there before he was signed over to Japan's number one soccer team to go professional. He had been in Egypt visiting his grandparents when his mother called him with the news of his younger brother.

Kek had short blond hair and black bangs like their mother and her gray eyes as well. As like everyone in the family he too was tan. He was currently sporting some tan shorts and his green and white soccer jersey with the number one on it. In his hands was his favorite soccer ball he loved to practice with and he pretty much never let it out of his site.

Atemu sat up and greeted his brother and sister who were much older and taller than him. Sadly Atemu was the only one in the family who didn't get the tall gene. He was even a few inches shorter than their mother which drove him a little crazy. Amun, Yumi, and Kek got their height from their father, with Yumi only being a little bit taller than their mother and shorter than Amun and Kek.

"I didn't think my being engaged to Yuugi would bring everyone running back home," Atemu commented as he got out of the crushing hug from his sister.

Yumi giggled. "Oh non sense brother of mine... We all adore Yuugi and we had to come home to see if it was true." She said as she winked at Yuugi.

Yuugi blushed and stood up to hug Yumi who she too thought of as a sister.

"It's so beautiful seeing all my beautiful babies together again."

All five in the room turned to see Amara Sennen standing in the doorway with her husband. The two were smiling at them and Yuugi couldn't blame them. There was no telling how long it had been since the parents had all their children in the same room together.

Amara Sennen as mentioned was a beautiful lady for being an ex-model. She was 48 and still could pass for a 20 year old. Her long waist length blond hair was wavy and she had black bangs that framed either side of her tan face. She wore an ankle length cream color tube top dress with a gold color belt around her waist.

Aknamkanon and Amara had been married since Amara turned 18 and graduated high school. They grew up in a small village outside of Cairo and met through their parents being friends. After Amara had their first child at the age of 20, Aknamkanon age 24 at the time had lucky graduated college before Amun was born and was already working in his father's music company. When the company was turned over to Aknamkanon when he turned 26, he decided to move it to Tokyo because it wasn't doing well in Cairo. Aknamkanon and Amara's parents had not been happy about the two leaving, but they knew they could make it. Amara with the help of her husband after a year of living in Tokyo got the chance to go to modeling school, which had been her dream. A year after that the company Aknamkanon had tried to make better hit it off and things got even better for the two. They had struggled at first but were able to get their careers up off the ground and start a family.

Amara career sadly ended after Atemu was ten. She had been doing a runway walk when she tipped over her own dress and fell off stage. A nasty cut from the waist to the knee left her beautiful left leg ruined and no one would hire her. People protested against it and Aknamkanon wanted to sue Amara's manager for letting her go, but Amara decided to forget about her career and focus on her family. Her children were growing up without her and she was slightly sick of not being around for them.

The parents of the four children took a seat on the loveseat while Yumi took a seat in front of her mother on the floor. Kek chose to stand and bounce his soccer ball back and forth between his knees.

"If you break something Kek I will ban you from doing that in the house." Amara scowled her son to make sure she got the point across. There were many times the boy had played soccer in the house and broke something.

Kek agreed by nodding his head, but said nothing else.

Atemu looked around at his family. "So is this some family meeting or something?" He asked wondering, what was the point in all of them hanging around him and Yuugi's supposed to be quiet time.

Aknamkanon cleared his throat. "Your mother and I wanted to talk to the two of you over the details of this engagement. We talked to Yuugi's parents yesterday and we just want to make sure things will be taken slow."

"It's not that were worried that you are not making the right decision…" Amara added in. "It's just you two haven't seen each other in eight years."

Atemu could understand their worry. He smiled at his parents. "I understand your worry and Yuugi and I have already decided we weren't going to rush into things." He looked over at Yuugi who had sat down beside him. They held each other hand as he looked back to his parents. "We haven't talked about when we would like to get married, but we know it won't be too soon. As you said we have been apart for eight years and I think its best we spend more time together before jumping into marriage." He squeezed Yuugi's hand and gave her a kiss.

Yuugi looked into Atemu's eyes as she spoke to his parents. "I know in my heart Atemu was and still is the one for me. We may have been apart, but my love for him never stopped. This engagement is a symbol that we want to have this chance at love and that we never want to lose each other again." She turned to look at his parents and siblings and could see the happy looks on their faces. It made her smile that they were so happy for them.
