Another day has ended for Hikari's daily routine. Photo shoot, meetings, interviews, guestings and such. No time for herself. Almost every day of her life she is doing that. Exhausted, tired and needs rest those are the things she is experiencing right now but there is only one thing that keeps her on moving on.

"I am going to see you Kei." Hikari said while looking at the picture frame on her desk beside the desk calendar her secretary bought for her. But despite the fact that they are going to meet on the 22nd, there is one thing that Hikari is worried about, and that is her near engagement ceremony with the person whom she did not know.

It is already the 21st today and the girls are heading to Hikari's manor to have the final preparation and to have a girl's night there. Their fiancés know that they are in Akira's house but it is the other way round.

"It is the eve of your birthday right Kei?" Ryuu asked Kei.

"Hm." Kei just answered.

"What do you want to do then?"

"Don't know."

Ryuu and Kei are now on the latter's pad hanging out together. They do have a very long silence until Ryuu broke it.

"Ne Kei, if you will see Hikari again one of these days, what are you going to do?" Ryuu asked hypothetically.

Kei looked at the wine he is drinking and then answered, "I will just ask how is she this past few years, and why did she vanish without even telling us a thing." He answered in a very melancholic way.

"Oh." Is what Ryuu answered to Kei. Ryuu know how hard it is. He witnessed how Kei worked all throughout just not to think about Hikari. He knows how hard it is for him to be missing his lover but does he has a choice? No there is not.

"Ryuu, I am getting engage." Kei broke the silence.

"WHAT?!" Ryuu answered in a surprised voice. "How?"

Kei just chuckled then answered, "I am getting engage to a person I don't know." He chuckled again. "It is my grandfather's decision, merging, two world's greatest companies' heirs getting married. How ironic isn't it?" Kei answered and then laughed silently.

Ryuu is having a hard time dealing with this part of Kei, "Kei you are drunk, stop drinking already." He said.

"No, I am not yet drunk, I can handle myself properly. It just… It hurts. I don't know why but it hurts here." Kei said as he points his heart. He leaned himself on the table then closed his eyes after a few while he is already asleep. Ryuu just watched Kei as some tear fall down his eyes.

Ryuu don't know what to do so he randomly calls someone from his phone to call. After a few rings the person on the other line answered.

"Hello?"

Hikari's POV

I am now dead tired! I want to sleep! URG!

KNOCK… KNOCK… KNOCK…

"Come in"

"Lady, Akira-sama just called and said that they are just staying at the hotel because they don't want to disturb you. If you want, she said, you could go there." One of the maids said.

"Thank you." I just answered.

SIGH…. It was a hell of a week. I had to do many things. I just want things for myself at least tomorrow because I am going to meet Kei at last. I am on my own thoughts when my door suddenly opened revealing my ever dear grandfather walking grand as ever in front of me.

I stood up and greeted him to show respect.

"Good evening grandfather." I said while I am bowing to him.

"Good evening Hikari." Grandfather said as he sat on my swivel chair so I am going to sit at the sofa not so far from my table. I am just staying silent not until grandfather asked me something.

"Ne Hikari, I heared you want a rest day tomorrow, is that true?" He said randomly.

"Yes grandfather."

"I am going to give it to you, make it a week rest." Grandfather said with a smile plastered on his face without hesitation

"Really grandfather?" I asked happily surprised.

"Yes, you could." He answered.

"Thank you grandfather." I said then ran towards him and hugged him. "But, onii-sama is not back yet grandfather."

"No worries dear, he will be here on the 24th and Empie and S. Hanazono Imports won't go bankrupt in just a week dear and besides you need a rest." Grandfather said in a very calm voice.

"Thank you very much grandfather! Thank you very much." I said.

"But you need to attend a party a on the 23rd at the hotel. Wear the dress I am going to send you ok?"

"Yes grandfather I will." I may not know or know what that party is all about but I am going to enjoy the week vacation that grandfather gave me.

Oh! This is the best gift I have received this year.

Me and grandfather are having a very lively chat when my phone rang..

RING… RING… RING…

It is an unknown number, so I excused myself from my grandfather and answered the phone.

"Hello?"

NORMAL POV

"Hello?" Megumi answered her phone.

"Megumi, it's me Ryuu." Ryuu on the other line answered.

"Yes?"

"Uhm, is Finn with you?" Ryuu asked shyly.

Megumi just giggled then looked at Finn who is busy chatting with Akira and the others then answered, "Yes she is with me."

"Uhmm, I would just like to talk to her, but it is just UHMM, never mind. " Ryuu said stammering.

Megumi laughed silently, "That is so not you Ryuu-kun."

"Sorry." Ryuu said.

"So what's up Ryuu-kun?" Megumi asked.

"Oh! Yeah! That is right, Uhm, Megumi do you have Sui's phone number?"

"Huh? Sui's? I don't have but I think Akira do. Wait I am going to ask Akira." Megumi covered the mouthpiece of her phone and then shouted at Akira for her to hear.

"Ne Akira-chan, do you have Sui's phone number?" Megumi asked.

"Yes! Why?" Akira answered.

"Ryuu wants to have it! Could you send it to him?"

"Sure thing!" Akira said.

"Thank you!" Megumi said then talked back to Ryuu, "Ryuu-kun, Akira will send it to you in a matter of minutes from now."

"Thanks a lot Megumi"

"Welcome"

"Bye!"

"Bye!

Megumi ended the call and then went back to the ladies who are now drinking tea.

"Is that Ryuu?" Finn asked.

"Yeah." Megumi answered smiling.

"What does he want?" Finn asked again curiously.

"He wants to have Sui's number."

"Is that all?"

"Yes and – oh! Yes! He asked if you were here so I answered yes."

"Really? He asked for me?"

"UHM, yes?"

"THANK YOU VERY MUCH!" Finn said and then stood up, "I am going!"

"Wait where are you going?" Sakura asked.

"To my PRINCE!" Finn said smiling.

The ladies don't have anything to say because it is the first time that they see Finn so depressed and change in a matter of minutes. It was amazing.

"So where were we?" Akira asked…

ON THE OTHER SIDE…

"Hello Sui kun?" Ryuu asked the other line.

"Hello? Who is this?" Sui on the other line asked.

"It is me Ryuu, your brother's friend."

"Oh! Good evening Ryuu-san. How did you get my number?"

"Akira gave it to me."

"Oh! I see, so what is the thing that you want Ryuu-san?"

"I just want you to pick up your brother, we are on his pad, and please could you keep him company? I am going somewhere important."

"What happen?"

"He is drunk."

"Drunk? Onii-sama?" Sui asked surprised.

"Yes."

"Can he handle himself?"

"He is asleep, I think he can handle himself."

"Ok! Thank you Ryuu-san. You could now go; I am going to take care of my brother. Just let him stay there."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"Thank you."

Ryuu ended the phone call and then turned for a moment at Kei who keeps on crying in his sleep then went to the door and leave to fix some things for him.

SUI'S POV

"Onii-sama is drunk?" Sui thought to himself. "I must go there to check" He said to himself.

While preparing he has some things on his mind that would make the story quite a good one. He picked his phone again and dialled a number. After a few rings, the number he dialled answered.

"Hello?"

HIKARI'S POV

"Yes… Yes… I am now going there. Thank you Sui – kun." I said then ended the phone call.

Without any hesitation, I entered my office room in our house then turned to my grandfather.

"Grandfather, I am sorry to leave, but could I take my leave first? It is just that, there are some things that I need to handle. Could I grandfather?"

"Sure but be sure to take good care of yourself." Her grandfather told her.

"Yes grandfather I will." Hikari said then kissed his grandfather's cheeks and bid him goodbye.

SUI'S POV

"It is now up to you Onee-san." I said after I have a talk with Hikari onee-sama. The story begins here….

NORMAL POV

Hikari arrived at the place what Sui said. Holding the key she has requested she opened the pad and then quietly entered the room. She is not having a good premonition on this but she thinks whether it is neither the right nor wrong timing to see each other but SHE do care about KEI. She looks for Kei on the room and found him at the counter leaning his head on the table while crying. Her heart crushed seeing him like that.

She slowly approached him and hesitantly caressed his head. She is now crying.

"Ke – Kei?" Hikari said stammering not to wake him up. He stirred but went back to his slumber. She dried his tears and then without any help, she brings him to the nearest sofa.

She lays him down gently, and then took of his coat and shoes for him to be more comfortable. She gets some water and small towel to damp on him. She took care of him until she thinks everything is ok. She looks at the grand clock that alarmed signing it is already 12 AM or November 22nd. Hikari look back to Kei who is now sleeping peacefully. She strokes away some strands of hair that is covering Kei's face. Again, she can't stop her tears from falling. Kei stirred but she still continues to caress his hair. Kei's eyes opened a little but that does not stop Hikari from doing what she is doing but instead she said.

"Happy Birthday Takeshima!" Hikari said it with smile on her face while crying. "Sniff… Sniff…"

By what Hikari did, Kei smiled a bit then closed his eyes again while holding Hikari's hand as if she is going to vanish again.

Hikari waited for a few hours then took her leave. She left something that will surely shock nor puzzle the drunk Takeshima.
