The next 3 days were too enjoyable for the 2 girls due to 1 boy. Ruka used to talk to her after class, for which his friends used to pull his legs jokingly. He thought that this girl was different type of fan and he liked her. She was a good comrade in business, always telling how to minimize expenses and how to do things the better way. The work got finished soon. Hotaru was feeling very happy that she was spending time with him, and Mikan felt happy for the same reason.

After 3 days, Hotaru was free again.

Mikan- "So how were the 3 days."

Hotaru- "Good. Real business like. I've never met someone so proficient and considerate as him. His company will surely progress when he takes over."

Mikan- "And did you get a chance for a normal chat?"

Hotaru- "I did get once, at parting. All because of you. He was asking me that whether I had a crush on him. I was embarrassed and angry at you, but he said that since I was so good at work and don't bother him like others, he did not mind and was satisfied with my work."

Mikan- "I am sorry"

Hotaru smirked, "So I paid you your way. I told him that you have no crush on him because you have one on Hyyuga."

Mikan stood up shocked and shouted out so loud that everyone in class stared at her- even Natsume and Ruka, "WHAT? You told that." And she looked around, said sorry and sat down, "You are mean Hotaru. I don't even have a chance to prove that I am good enough at anything."

Hotaru smirked, "Tit for tat. You did not know that either before, so we are even."

Mikan spent the day sulking that day. The next few days were normal.

One day, as the classes were just over, there came someone with police into the classroom. He looked around the class, spotted Natsume and Ruka and shouted, "Arrest them". The class was shocked. Natsume stood up, "for what?" The man, who was actually a rival said, "You two are guilty of signing illegal papers 2 days ago." Natsume and Ruka looked at each other. Both did not want any business arguments in the classroom. Natsume replied, "Let's sort this matter outside class."

The Rival gleamed. He went with them into the school grounds. Unluckily, the class followed them, they were all curious. The boys could not do anything.

Natsume- "So what is it?"

Rival- "You are guilty of signing these papers."

Natsume- "And proved by? Because that day we were in class."

Rival- "Proved by your signatures. You signed it. See. Just because you were in class does not mean you can't sign things."

Natsume and Ruka looked at those papers. But they could not find any alteration to their signs. They were identical to their's. But They did not do it. It was a good sign of forgery."

Rival- "You actually deposited 10 million into the fraud's account from both your accounts. And also, you have the guilty land in your name. So there are many proofs. So police, arrest them."

The students looked at the two boys. Their friends gathered by them to look at the proofs he showed. They all knew that this was a wrong case, but did not find anything against them. Natsume and Ruka were thinking of how this has happened and how to prove it wrong. The students were all murmuring amongst themselves, many believed that they were indeed guilty. The fan girls especially, they were thinking how could they like someone so corrupted. Some were even talking loud to let everyone know that they never believed Natsume and Ruka.

Not Mikan and Hotaru though. Hotaru walked towards Ruka and asked him for the proofs. Mikan walked beside her and peeked over. They did not believe that the boys could do wrong. As the police were walking near to arrest them, Mikan caught something and stood in front of the boys,

"Stop" Everyone looked at her. "Sir are you sure this deal happened 2 days back."

"yes I am. If you see properly, even they signed it with dates."

"I can see that. But since you are so well informed, please tell me about the deal."

"You have no knowledge about such things. So get aside."

"I am getting not moving aside. My father was a lawyer and I know the law enough to not arrest them without proof. Don't try to ruin their reputation without all perfect proofs."

"Very well girl, the deal seemed to be signed 2 days back"

"Oh I see. So you are telling me that the deal was signed when they were in class?"

"There is no restriction about that. They could sign it anywhere."

"How did you find about this?"

"My men saw 2 people entering and exiting the school. We got suspicious and searched them to find these".

"And they could have signed it anytime only in school, because they got out in school time."

"Yes, I can be sure of that."

"And that these are the original papers"

"They are original."

"And the land is in their name."

"Don't bother me with questions I've already answered. You have the proofs. Get aside silly girl."

Mikan looked at Hotaru, who had by this understood what Mikan was pointing out. She stepped forward,

"Then these documents are false. There can be no charge against them. Let me tell you why. The deal seems to be signed 2 days ago while it seems to be printed yesterday. Don't tell me the printer shows wrong dates on an original document. And if your men came to this academy, I would like that to be checked in the school's camera and records. Maybe you don't know much about our school but it is very high level secured. You said the land is in their name, but the previous owner is known to her, he died a year ago, that was why it was in a dispute. But the documents are saying that someone else sold it to them, which is neither of the disputed parties. Show us that the disputed partied sold it to this person then only your evidence is valid. And I was working with them last three days, and I was the one managing this account. There wasn't so much money in that account after my withdrawals, I am sure of that. If so, and if 2 days have passed, the bank must have issued a notice by now. And last is my own observation, I have been with Mr. Nogi for three days, and his sign seems to be valid. But not the way he writes the date, his handwriting is different, which means someone else must have wrote the date."

Mikan sided her, "So if you want to arrest them, get the real proofs and real policemen, because I know their norms. They don't go for any arrests without the chief or a group leader, and none of them seems to be one."

They finished. Everyone was looking at the two girls in complete silence. The rival was taken aback. He nodded and went out. Natsume and Ruka were pleased with the girls. They shook hands with them and thanked them. Then they left. As soon as everyone was gone, Mikan hugged Hotaru tight, "Hotaru, Hyyuga san shook his hands with me. He acknowledged me. Wow."

Hotaru just smiled. Stupid Mikan had really inherited her father skills of a high class lawyer.
