Chapter Nine

"ONEE! How many times do I have to tell you that I am not going to wear this kind of thing! It is too ugly!" Shouted a young boy in the mansion.

"It is not ugly you bratt!" a woman with a violet hair shouted.

"I don't like that!"

"But Sui, It is better than the one you chose." The lady in blue dress said.

"But I don't like that onee!" Sui was about to cry when Hikari went to him and explained.

"Sui, it makes you look more handsome if you wear this. It makes you look like an executive and more like your onii-san." Hikari said in a very sincere tone.

Sui think for a while and then said, "I will wear those but do not let me wear that rose please onee! I am begging..."

"All right! All right! Now run along take a bath and then prepare because at exactly 7 somebody will fetch you up."

"Fetch me up? What about you?"

"A grand entrance will make me more noticeable don't you think?"

"You really are something onee. Ok, gotta go." Sui ran to his room upstairs as Hikari and the other young ladies just smiled.

"So, are you not going to prepare for tonight?" Hikari asked Megumi and Akira.

"But if we are going to prepare, you are not going to be with us tomorrow right?" Akira said.

Hikari just smiled, "Don't worry, I have a surprise later."

"But – "

"No more buts Akira, just enjoy tonight's party and reconcile with Tadashi ok? For me?"

"Ok! OK! I get it. How about you Megumi?"

"Uhmm, Jun and Ryuu-kun is going to pick me up here at 5."

"But don't you think Hikari will be exposed by then?" Akira asked.

"Don't worry Akira, I will be at the hotel by that time." Hikari said.

"I see."

"So everything is set now, now you better prepare or else."

"Ok! OK! No need to push us away don't you think?"

Hikari just giggled. "Ok, I am now going to go. I have my appointment at 4, photo shoot at 5 and an interview to be aired on Monday here in Japan, but at that time I won't be here. So I am now going. See you there?"

"Sure." Megumi said.

"Take care Hikari." Akira said.

"I will, and Keichi" Hikari called.

"Yes ojou-sama?"

"Please tell Sui to call me when he is finished am I clear."

"I will ma'am."

"Thanks." Hikari turned to the women, "I am now going, see you later."

"See you."

Hikari walked to the door and went outside leaving Akira and Megumi in the living room. The two just watch her walk until the door was closed.

"She changed right Akira?"

"In a way, yes, but there is something important that she is not saying right Megumi?" Akira said suspiciously.

"Yes, and that is one of the things that did not change about her, her being transparent."

"So, let us now go to our appointments today Megumi. Tonight will be the night right?"

"I can't wait about it." Megumi said.

The two left the house 3o minutes after Hikari departed. Sui asked Keichi where is Hikari because there is something that she wants to ask about her. After what Keichi said, Sui followed the two ladies and went to the hotel Keichi was referring to. As he is travelling alone, Kei, his brother called.

"Hello?"

"Sui, where are you?"

"Driving. Why?"

"Nothing in particular, by the way, is your preparations now complete?"

"Yes, everything is settled, and aniki, don't ever ditch the party or else."

"Yes, Yes, I will not ditch it. What time will it start?"

"Arrival of guest will be at 5, the party will start at 6."

"Ok."

"Aniki, I am now going, I am driving, see you later."

"Ok, bye."

The phone call ended. Sui just continued on driving while Kei let Aoi fix his schedule until tomorrow.

"Have you met her?"

"Yes sir"

"So she already knew?"

"Yes sir, but she doesn't know everything, she only knew about you and your family background, nothing more nothing less."

"Job well done Cloud. See you in a matter of few days."

"Yes sir."

Another phone call by a third person has just ended. The man rested his head on the headboard of his bed. He then looked at the photo of a young lady in the side table of his bed.

"We are going to see each other my precious granddaughter, Hikari."

Hikari was very much busy that day for she has many appointments; it is already 5 in the afternoon when she arrived at the hotel room for her preparation for the party. She thought that Sui was still there but only a note was left for her. It says,

"Onee,

I already went to the party because my friends are bugging me around. So I just left a note here. I am just going to wait you there onee. Oh before I forgot, "Masquerade" is the theme of the party tonight, so I just left you a mask that suits your gown. By the way, I changed my tuxedo. HEHEHE XD! Love you onee.

Love,

Sui."

"Silly boy" Hikari thought.

After reading the note, she proceeds to her make-up artists and starts to pamper herself for a while. After an hour of preparation, she is now ready to go. As she is walking the lobby of the hotel, everyone is looking at her with admiration because of her gown, accessories and herself. She walked passed them with elegance, she heard somebody say, "Is that Hikari Hanazono?, she just smiled because of what she have heard.

She looks at her phone, to check the time.

"6:15 PM, not bad." She says.

The limousine was already at the front of the hotel waiting for her. Keichi opened the door for her.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome my lady."

Hikari just smiled to him as she entered the limo. Keichi closed the door and hurriedly went to the driver's seat.

"Where to madam?"

"At the school. Hakakusenkan Academy Keichi."

"Yes ma'am."

Keichi started the car and drove to the academy.

"Just a little more time. Just a little more time."

AT THE AUDITORIUM...

"It is good to see all the members of the S.A. reunited again" Tadashi said as he went to the group of people talking together.

They just smiled but after that, the ladies, kept their smile but the gentlemen has a hint of sadness in their eyes.

"Reunited huh?" Ryuu said.

"We are not complete."

"Hm."

Tadashi knew what they mean. "But even if we want to, she will definitely not come."

"But even if she is not here, we should enjoy. Right Megumi?"

"Yes, indeed Akira, indeed."

"Wait, why it the party is not yet starting?" Jun asked.

"The guest has not yet arrived" Megumi said.

"What is it Megumi?"

"Huh? Nothing, I just said there are still more guest that has not yet arrived." She said with a smile.

"Oh"

They continued of talking with the young gentlemen but a certain man was not in the mood talking and that is the notorious, Kei Takeshima.

"Oh, Kei, what makes you so quite?" Akira asked.

"Nothing."

"Really?"

"I said no-" Kei was cut by his own brother now on stage signalling the start of the program.

"Welcome alumni of Hakakusenkan Academy! We welcome you all to this annual Reunion! I hope you enjoy the party."

After Sui said that, he stepped off the stage and some performers started to perform. Everybody enjoyed the party until the door opened revealing a lady in blue gown. She is very beautiful. Elegance is overflowing as she walks to enter the ball room. Everyone stopped. Even the ladies and gentlemen of the S.A. Neither Akira or Megumi do not know who that was.

She was very beautiful. She moved elegantly with poise and manner, but who could this young lady be?

She stopped walking in front of Sui and then smiled. Sui was bewildered but in a matter of few seconds, he snapped in his dream land and gave the lady a very, very big smile and hug.

Everyone was shocked because no one ever makes Sui that smile ever, except for a certain girl that the S.A. students only knew.

Hikari's P.O.V.

"I thought you would not come onee!" Sui said as he hugs me.

I just smiled at him and said, "Don't you feel a little awkward Mr. Takeshima of what are you doing?"

"No I am not and besides only a certain person will feel jealous because of what I have done right?" as he stood up properly.

"You silly boy." I said as I ruffled his neatly done hair.

"Hey! Watch the hair!"

I just giggled by what he said. "Oh, by the way Sui. Secretary Yuri." I called.

"Ma'am?"

"The invitations?"

"Here they are ma'am" Yuri said as he handed me the invitations.

"Thank you."

"Here." As I held the invitations to Sui.

"What are they?" Sui asked.

"Invitations for tomorrows' party. They are only intended for 'them.' You already knew right?"

"All right! All right! But be sure to tell them the truth today or else."

"Sure I will. I love you Sui." I said as I hugged him back again.

"You sure love to hug me onee." Sui said as he chuckled.

"It is because you are a lot taller than me that makes you more like a gentleman than a boy."

The two talked a lot when they felt that eyes were on them.

"Uhm, Sui, it is a bit strange but I don't think the party will continue if we don't cut our conversation right?"

"You are right onee, and it is making me uncomfortable. So I am going to see you around?"

"Of course. I am just going to approach Akira and Megumi."

After my conversation with Sui, I went to the group of 7 people which were known as the S.A students in her time. She stopped at their front and smiled.

"Hi everyone. It is so nice to be back."
