Hey..there is an important note in the last ...make sure to check it out

Just a small little thing that this chapter is from Aira's point of view..


"Huh?!"

"That is right . The reception is on this Sunday" said Rui "It had to become like this because both Papa and Miwa - san had meetings to attend and the marriage was also fit in quite like that. And they decided to have it coming Sunday considering Miwa - san's new showroom in Paris is also being finalised this week"

"I don't freaking care about what anybody or everybody says. I am wearing sneakers or else count me out of this reception thing. Look at my legs!" I exclaimed as I held my legs up which were covered in bandages . All of my siblings (except Shiro - nii and Ruka) were holding an indirect meeting in my room in the evening next day after the wedding.

"My poor legs..." I said as I slowly caressed my feet and Ema changed the conversation

"So what exactly is Shiro - nii's condition right now?"

"Suffering. Lots of heartache . Jealousy" I said as my eyes turned dark

"You are a sadist" Rui said

"You can say that again"

"So what does the reception have to do with anything?"

"You do realize Amy is going to appear again" Sasuke said

"Uh - huh"

"But I have to say the look on Shiro - nii's face was amazing when you said Amy is going to get married soon" Mia said as she laughed

"I swear. He looked so shocked as if he had had a heart attack or something"

"At least it shows he wants to get married to Amy"

"In a way. But listen I got an amazing plan" Rui said "And that'll make Shiro - nii so jealous he wouldn't be able to take it anymore!"


"What are you guys doing here?" Shiro - nii asked , the next evening when we went to visit Shiro - nii.

"Why so surprised? I mean we can come visit in a while right?" I said as I casually waved to the people passing by. Most of the people knew who I am and I knew who they were.

"I didn't say there was anything wrong"

"Cool" And like that we intruded on our own company just like that. As we entered Shiro - nii's cabin everyone scattered around the room doing random stuff. Shiro - nii sat on one of the sofas and sighed

"So why are you guys here?"

"Actually we were wanting to meet Amy" I said as I took out one of the books from the neatly maintained shelves

"You won't find her here"

"Man , such a drag" Sasuke said yawning

"Why do you want her anyways?" As my back was faced to Shiro - nii , I slowly smirked and turned around

"I heard the bouquet thing is real" I said

"What do you mean?"

"Huh? I thought you would be the first one to hear"

"About what?"

"Amy's parents want her to get married as soon as possible"

"WHAT?!" And he looked fairly shocked. Mission accomplished . He then cleared his throat "I- I mean when?"

"Dunno. We heard about it recently too"

"See? It wasn't a joke. The bouquet thing"

"Sure"

"Guess we should leave if we can't find her here" Ema said

"I guess so"

"We'll see you later" Rui said as we all walked out but were stopped by Shiro - nii.

"Who is she getting married to?" He asked.

"Dunno. That's for us to find out. Once we do we'll tell you " And we walked out.

As we all sat in the Limo , I realised everyone was smiling and I smirked.

"So Mission Accomplished?" I asked

"Yeah. Except we still have to inform Amy about this. You knew Amy won't be here , didn't you Aria?" Sasuke asked

"I sure did. But we did have to let him know. Considering he is the main protagonist of our small play"

"You ...are a very weird genius"

"Credits to Rui for her idea"

"I never thought you would turn it into something like this"

"I AM Hinata Aira. Being evilly smart about such things carves my identity"

"No comments"

"How do you expect to explain all this to Amy?"

"That you can leave to me"


"I will do it"

"You will?!" All the Hinata's (who were present) chorused.

"Yup. After all I need my chance to punish Shiro too"

"But what if your parents don't agree?" Mia asked

"The only thing my parents disagree on is my name"

"Your name?"

"Amamiya Minori Yumiko" Amy said as she smiled "It's my real name"

"Wait. WHAT?"

"When I was first born , my parents couldn't agree on one name , so they mixed both and made it into one . Which I further shortened"

"We've known you for 7 years. But how come we never knew? And if you're surname is Amamiya , then why Harune?" Ema asked her eyes full of disbelief.

"Harune is my Mom's maiden name. And because I find 'Amy' better than 'Amamiya Minori Yumiko' , I added Harune at the end"

"I feel betrayed"

"I am sorry. Everyone knows me as Harune Amy so it's nothing bad , if you guys didn't know" Amy said trying to convince them.

"Did Shiro - nii know?"

"Yeah…" And as soon as she answered all the Hinata's became even more depressed.

"S-So like I was saying! I can convince my parents!"

All the Hinata's turned normal "That's good"

"But then we need to find a suitable person to be your fiancè"

"Yeah. Think you know anyone who would be suitable and willing?"

"I don't know"

"And we have to find him before Sunday , because he has to come to the reception too right?"

"Yeah...I'll search for somebody"

"Fine...If any updates tell us immediately and till then keep going to the office normally"

"Okay…"

"We'll see you later"


"Alright class! Today we will discuss about what our class is going to do for the 'Cultural Festival' " The Class Rep shouted.

"Yeah!" The class cheered.

"Any suggestions?"

"Haunted house!"

"A Cosplay café!"

"A Maid cafè!"

"Yeah man!"

"Totally!"

"Just imagine , Ema - san and Imai - san in maid outfits!" Someone whispered

"And don't forget Aira - san!" And a vein popped on my forehead and my eye twitched as Ema turned and shook her head knowing I was just about to beat them up.

"How about a Maid cafè where boys dress up as maids and girls help out in the kitchen?" I suggested as I looked at the boys.

"I am against that" And everyone including me turned to face , the most popular guy of our class . More like one of the most popular guys in the school. "I cannot dress up as a maid , it'll be against my pride" He said clearly stating the sentence towards me.

I don't exactly remember his name or him. It's just that I see him time to time in class. He had messy brown hair and green eyes and mostly all the girls of our class are behind eyes bore into mine and he took his fashion specs out and we stared at each other , with neither giving up. Well , until the Class Rep stepped in.

"Alright. Enough. Anything else anyone wants to do? Other than this?"

"NO!" The class , more like boys opposed.

"Well , then why don't we have a butler cafè instead?" The girls asked.

"No! Because we want to see Aira - san in a maid outfit!"

"Well , we wanna see Kushieda - kun in a butler outfit!" Kushieda! Yeah his name was Kushieda…?

"How about a butler and maid cafè?!" The Class Rep shouted.

"Perfect!" The class shouted.

Everyone started signing up for what they wanted to do. And I was surprised to see Em put her name on the list for girls who wanted to dress up as maids. I didn't wanna do anything as I had already decided to bunk 'Cultural Festival' like I always do , and sit at home.

Em approached me with a disappointed look on her face.

"What up?"

"You didn't sign up for anything"

"I am not dressing as a maid and even though I am a good cook , I don't wanna participate . You know I never do"

"But I was hoping we both could wear maid outfits. I bet they'll be adorable!"

"They'll be adorable only on you and not on me. Not like I am wearing it anyway"

"Please?"

"Considering the amazing body figure you have and the most pretty face here I believe the maid outfit will look fantastic on you" The Kushieda guy butt in.

"Excuse me? It's not good to eavesdrop on people's conversation"

"I am giving you my personal opinion"

"Thanks but no thanks" I replied as I grit my teeth.

"Oh c'mon Aria. For once. These days won't come back"

"It's okay. It doesn't matter to me anyways"

"At least for me? Please?" Ema asked showing me her puppy dog eyes which by the way never work.

"Whatever" I said finally giving in.

"Yes!"

"But I have a condition"

"Huh?"

"I am dressing up as a butler"


As I entered the drawing room I realized that there was nobody there except Azu-san .

"Yo!" I said as I sat next to him.

He looked up and I guess he was very busy that he hadn't realized me coming in.

"Hi. Welcome back"

"I am sorry. Were you busy?"

"Huh? No! It's alright" He replied and went back to reading whatever he was reading.

Among all the new brothers I have got , I somehow like Azu - san a lot. He is nice , polite , kind and is sweet. He is a total opposite of his twin Tsubaki , who is outgoing and noisy and carefree. I also like Io - san he is like a prince from a fairytale (and now I am exaggerating) . Suba - san is super quiet and shy and every time I try to hold a decent conversation he replies only in monosyllables. Louis - san is kinda creepy but he is nice and kind. Natsu - san is a bit straightforward but he is kindhearted too. Masao - san is super caring and Ukyo - san is super strict. In lots of ways he reminds me of Shiro - nii. Kaname - san is weird and looks like a perv to me and Hikaru - san is someone I don't wanna talk about. Then comes in Yusuke . The poor guy. His crush as his sister , a total heartbreak. Fúto , the showoff brother of mine , but he is still my brother . And as for Wataru , he reminds me of Ruka so I like him too!

Which reminds me -

"Hey Azu - san?"

"Yes?" He asked as he looked at me.

"We have our cultural festival next week. Think you and others can come?"

"Sure. I would love too" He said as he smiled and my heart leaped in joy as I smiled back. He is super easy to talk with!

"I'll see you later then!" I said as I made my way towards the elevator.


"So you didn't find anyone yet?" I asked Amy over the phone , the next day. Everyone was busy preparing for the festival , and for once I was happy about what I was wearing . The gym outfit. Full sleeves and full pants. And they were in red color!

"No...I am still searching. Hopefully I can find somebody!"

"Yeah...I'll talk to you after I go home!"

"Okay" And with that she hung up.

"Aira - san! We need your help here!" A girl shouted.

"Coming!"

I had never worked so freaking hard for the school ever in my life. To define this ...I possibly couldn't because it was out of my vocabulary.

"Like this?" I asked as I held the banner a bit higher. Like , how much more higher lady? So high that people can't see it? I was already standing on two chairs one on top of the other and there was a very high chance of me falling down.

"A bit more" She said "It's slightly tilted"

I rose on my toes as I held it higher "Now?"

"Yes. Its perfect. Right there"

"Thank the Gods" I murmured as I fixed the banner and moved my foot in order to get down. And then I realised there was no surface to stand anymore.

I lost balance and the whole thing came crashing down as I shouted. And you know the worst thing? I fell on top of someone.

"Ow! Damn!" He cursed

I opened one eye and realized I had fallen on a guy. And to make things worse , it was Kushieda.

He looked at me and my cheeks turned a bit red as I realized the position we were in. I was on top of him , right in the middle of the class.

He smiled "You okay?"

"Apparently , thanks"

"Pleasure's mine"

I got up and then helped him up "Your head okay?"

"Yeah , kinda"

"Great" And then I realized the whole class was staring at us "What are you looking at? This ain't a soap opera! Continue with your work!"

"Sorry!" Many apologized , while half the girls crowded around Kushieda asking if he was okay.

"Are you alright?" Em asked

"Yeah"

"C'mon! Its lunch! We are going to the rooftop to eat!"

"Why?" I asked as I was dragged by her

"Yusuke - kun invited us!"

"Ahhhh~" I said in a teasing manner and received a punch from Ema on my arm.


"Eh? What is this baka doing with my Onee - chan's?"

Em , Yusuke , Me , Imai and Sasakura were having lunch together when a certain Pop idol entered the scene.

"Fúto - kun?"

"What the hell are you doing here?" Yusuke asked getting up.

"Huh? You didn't know? I just enrolled in this school. I am your junior. Please take care of me , Senpai's"

"Y-You…" Yusuke growled in irritation.

The rooftop door burst open and a pretty looking young girl walked towards us and faced Fúto , looking very angry. Considering her cute little petite body and face she might as well be my junior.

She had brown fluffy hair and blueish grey eyes. She looked really angry and Fúto looked irritated as he saw her.

"Asahina - kun! You know that Oreki - sensei has been calling you to the faculty office all day and you aren't even bothering to go! Do you know how annoyed she is?!"

"And now she sent you to fetch me?"

"Yes! It's my responsibility as the Class Rep. And that's why you're coming with me right now!"

"Whatever. Where is she?"

"In the faculty office. You should also apologize!"

"Yeah , yeah" He said as he walked lazily towards the door to the rooftop.

"I am really sorry to disturb your lunch" She apologized as she bowed.

"It's alright" Ema smiled at her

"B-But how did you…" Yusuke trailed off

"Yes?"

"How did you get that idiot to listen to you? He never listens to anyone"

"E-Eh? Is that so? I don't know maybe he was tired of Sensei sending different people behind him" She stated finding lots of interest in the ground.

"It could be"

"Excuse me" And with that she walked away.

That's pretty impressive Fúto. The annoying pop idol has someone he actually listens to? Fascinating.


"All the guys! Have your measurements taken by Kushieda - kun~! All the girls to come to me! "

One by one people started to line up to have measurements taken for their clothes. And I was patiently waiting .

As the line got shorter and shorter , I lazily walked up to the the place where all girls had lined up.

"Ah! Aira - san! Can you have Kushieda - kun take your measurements? I need to help Mei over there"

"What?" I asked as my eye twitched.

"Feel free. I'll do it for you Ayumi - chan" Kushieda said as he got up and walked towards me smirking. "You're anyway dressing as a butler right Aira -chan?" And he held the measuring tape up.

My eye twitched and I grabbed the tape from him "Em! Mind taking my measurements? Also its San"

"Sure! I am coming!" Ema shouted and ran towards me.

"Suit yourself" He said as he handed Ema the book.

Ema took all the measurements for me and handed the book back to Kushieda. I sighed and turned around and saw the girl from earlier , trying to ask for help. But people ignored her or told her they were busy.

I walked towards her and as she saw me approaching her eyes widened in realization.

"Want something , Class Rep?" I asked as I remembered she was the Rep of Fúto's class.

"U-Uhm...actually I am in the Student Council too"

"Really? That's great"

"A-And because of that , we have been asked to collect the list of what each class and club is doing and I have been assigned 2nd year classes…"

"Oh? Is it?"

"Y-Yes...W-Will you help me?" God she was one cute girl.

"Sure. A condition"

"Condition?" She asked as she slightly tilted her head.

"Yeah. I'll help you if you ask me more confidently"

"H-Huh?"

"Come on! I know you can do it!"

She took a deep breath "Will you help me?" She asked this time her voice full of confidence.

"Yup!" I smiled and answered all the questions she asked.

"T-Thank you so much..uh.."

"Hinata Aira. And it's always a pleasure"

"Thank you , Hinata - senpai"

"And you are…?"

"Huh? Oh! Minase Akemi"

" Akemi , huh? That's it! Akemi - chan it is!"

"Akemi - chan?"

"Yes. And feel free to call me Aira"

"Aira ...senpai"

I laughed "Sure , that also works"

"Aira - chan from me then" And what does this guy get by irritating me so much?

"No" I said as my eyes darkened "You will only call me San"

"I'll see you later...Aira senpai"

"But that's unfair!" He pouted "You can call me Hibiki then"

"Hibiki?"

"Heh? You didn't know? My name is...Kushieda Hibiki…" He said as he looked kinda disappointed.

"We don't talk much , more like we barely talk so I didn't remember. And no. You will call me San and so will I"

"Alright. One condition from my side then" And he smirked.

"Condition?" I was stuck in the same position.

"Call me Hibiki once and I'll call you Aira - san"

"No"

He smiled mischievously "Your choice , Aira - chan"

"What?"

"The day you call me by my first name , I will call you San from that day"

"What?!"

"See ya" And with that he walked away.


"Aria! I found someone who will be suited for this! He is smart , extremely handsome , intelligent and Shiro knows him!" Amy shouted over the phone.

"Really? That's great!"

"But there is a slight problem , even though he agreed to do it for me"

"What is it?"

"He is in high school"

"What? Does Shiro - nii know that?"

"Yeah"

"Then that's bad right?"

"So what do we do?"

"I guess we could say , because he is young , smart and mature , my parents want me to marry him?"

"It could work"

"I know right? Well , we can set up a meeting and you and the others can meet him"

"Okay. Talk to you later" And with that she hung up. "Hey Em!" I called out to her.

"Yeah?" She answered as she turned holding a box of ribbons.

"I am leaving early. Feeling a bit under the weather. You and Yusuke and that Pop star can come later!"

"Oh. Okay. Take care"

"Yeah" And with that I slowly walked towards the gates and entered the Limo , and my headache turned worse. Probably cause I did loads of work today. Don't get me wrong . I am not obese , just a little lazy.

"Home sweet home" I muttered as I walked towards the elevator. And I didn't even know which button I pressed. This was bad . I had to reach my room.

But I didn't. Instead I entered the fifth floor and luckily there was nobody there. I had no power to do anything. And as my instincts commanded I sat on the couch and slowly ...lay down and fell asleep.


I woke up to loads of sounds around me. I had to squint my eyes thrice to get used to the light. But there was already someone blocking it. As my vision got clear I realized Azu- san's face was right on top of mine , inches away.

"Oh! You're awake!" He exclaimed.

"Uh...yeah" I said as I quickly calmed my racing heart and blocked any blood that was eager to make its way towards my cheeks.

"You okay? Your temperature is high"

"It is?" And who do you think is making it worse?

"Yeah. You are in your room right now" And then I realized that no wonder the anime posters looked like mine.

"Is it?" I asked and he nodded. And we were there staring at each other until I think I saw him turning a bit red before he stood upright.

"You guys! She's awake" Seems like nobody noticed till now.

Azu - san was pulled out of my vision as he was replaced by Tsuba - san with a worried look on his face.

"Aira - chan! You okay?!"

"Uh..yeah?"

"Thank the Gods. I was so worried!"

"Sorry about that. Maybe I might have worked harder than I thought I could"

"Don't do it again!" And then his looked changed and he suddenly smiled "How about I give you a hug as a cure?"

"Tsubaki , that's enough" And Azu- san pulled him back.

"Noooo~!" He whined as Shiro - nii came in view.

"How are you feeling?"

"A bit better. Can I sit?"

"Sure. Let me help" And he slowly helped me sit and put the pillow behind for backrest . And then the rest came in view. Half of my family was here. Wow. So touching.

Half of them were smiling and half just looked relieved. I was glad. I had one of the most amazing families.

"So...what exactly happened?"

"Natsume found you sleeping on the couch and he found it weird so he checked your temperature and you had fever. He ran to call Masa - nii when Azusa and I entered the drawing room"

"Oh ...sorry about that. I was actually hoping to get to my room and sleep but I was super dizzy so I pressed the wrong button in the elevator , reached the fifth floor , didn't have any energy and fell asleep on the couch" I said as I laughed nervously.

"When I got a call from Rui saying you had fainted I got a heart attack" Sasuke said.

"I didn't faint"

"You looked like you did. And if I told him you had fever , he would purposely come home late"

"No I wouldn't d-"

"Aria!" The door burst open and entered Amy who looked like she could break anything and everything just to reach me.

"Amy?"

"Wait…" She suddenly stopped "You are ...fine"

"Yeah…?"

Amy turned to Rui who pretended like she knew nothing .

"Rui…I can't see her having an operation because of a severe heart attack , like you said"

"Heart attack? Literally Rui?"

"Sorry...I got a bit carried away"

Amy sighed and then smiled and Sasuke flicked his sister's forehead , and as she pouted everyone laughed.

I saw Shiro - nii and Amy make eye contact and neither said anything. A minute later Ema entered with Yusuke and from what I suppose they both were unaware of what happened to me.

"I am sorry that I didn't realize" Ema apologized as she sat on the corner of my bed.

"Its okay. Now you know why I never take part?"

She gave me a dry smile "I always knew" And then her face brightened "Know what? Our costumes arrived right after you left!"

"Oh? That's nice"

"Yeah! The Maid outfits were adorable!"

"Eh? You are dressing as a maid for the festival?" Tsuba - san asked as his eyes lit up.

"Yeah...but Aria is dressing as a …"

"As a…?" Half the brothers chorused

"A butler" Ema sighed.

"Huh….?" Half the people were in shock and then -

"I AM DEFINITELY COMING NOW!" Tsuba - nii shouted.

"Okay…"

"So ...if you wanna actually see her in a Butler outfit , you need to let her recover , which means everyone get out" Masao - san said as he started leading everyone out.

Somewhere in the process I saw Kyo - san and Amy make eye contact and something wasn't right. They looked a bit…

Wait. Now that I think about it , didn't Shiro - nii start acting weird somewhere when Amy went to that 'Date' thing with Kyo-san? Could his anger have something to do with that?

As everyone walked out many shouted "Take Care" and "Get well soon". I smiled at them and waved.

A shower might be nice…


Feeling a bit better after the shower and changing into PJs , I went to the fifth floor. All of my siblings looked at me with a worried face. I smiled at them and reassured them that I was fine.

"Dinner?" Kyo - san asked.

"Nah. I'll just stick around with a packet of chips and a can of-" And someone suddenly smacked me on my head.

"Somebody was unwell" Shiro - nii said.

"Really? Who?" I asked innocently.

"Stop being an idiot. Eat something healthy or starve. Your choice"

"What?!"

"C'mon Aria! Change into something decent and we'll have dinner together , wherever you like"

"You're the best Sasuke!"

"Like I didn't know that" He said as he puffed his chest.

"I'll be here in two" I said as I held two fingers up.


"So...what do you wanna eat?"

"Burger and fries perhaps?"

"On it"

"Hey Sasuke...Amy found a suitable person to be her fianće ...and he actually agreed to it"

"Wow. Isn't that great?"

"But...I think Amy is still hiding something from us"

He looked at me his eyebrows furrowed. Then he resumed his driving still in thought.

"What is she hiding?"

"I would have told you genius if I knew"

"You wouldn't have told me if you didn't think something was wrong"

"You got me there"

"So? What up?

"Shiro - nii ...we never actually found out why he was actually mad"

"That's true. But we can't go up to him and ask him right? There is a possibility that he is not actually angry"

"That said , his change in attitude was somewhere when Amy went out with Kyo -san for the date thing right?"

"Now that you mentioned it...yeah" He said as he parked.

"Its could be related" I stated as I got out.

"Who knows? We had lost track of them somewhere when we went to the beach right? Could be possible that Shiro - nii followed them all the way till the end and something happened while he was spying on them ...you know something between Amy and Ukyo - san?" Sasuke said without a care and then he looked at me who was staring at him mouth wide open and eyes looking at him in admiration.

"You are...UNBELIEVABLE!" I said as I slapped him on the back " How come I never thought of this?"

"Huh? How am I supposed to know? I just thought that could be the case" He said as he shrugged and we entered the restaurant.

"But...that could actually be the case...and Amy is unaware because she didn't know any of us followed her...so I guess we can't blame her" I said as I sat down.

"True that...so what are we going do?"

"First off...we never mentioned any of this...we know nothing about this"

"What?"

"Look...it'll be better this way...also we need to first know everything from Amy , everything that happened that day…"

"And how do you plan on doing that?"

I smirked " I won't do anything...she'll herself tell us"


"E-eh?" The bed covers on me weighed tons and I wasn't able to lift a single one of them. And if I couldn't remove the bed covers , I wouldn't be able to close the curtains , to stop the sunlight. Damn you!

"Need help?"

"Natsume - san? What are you doing here?"

"You do remember what happened to you last night don't you?"

"No…" That's strange. I remember absolutely nothing.

"When you were walking towards your room after you came back , you fell face first on the ground and everyone panicked and what happens next is something you shouldn't ask" He said as he ended the sentence with a sigh.

"What happened?" I asked my eyebrows furrowed.

FLASHBACK

(3rd Person POV)

"I still can't believe you finished the whole can!" Sasuke exclaimed as he helped Aira towards her room with her one arm around his neck and her feet dragging behind her.

"You looooost the bet! Aaand it was your fault anywaaaaaaaay to begin with" Aira said as she giggled like an annoying spoilt girl.

"Keep quiet and go to bed immediately! If Shiro - nii or Mia - nee come to know I am done for...Oh! For God's sake reduce your volume!"

"Heeeehee! You lost the bet! You lost the bet! Deal with it!" And yet again for the nth time she giggled and laughed.

"Who knew you would get high so fast? How I miss the old you…" Sasuke sighed as he slowly and quietly walked towards her room.

"Heeeey….Sasuke…"

"Shhh...yeah?"

"What if Shiro - nii appears behind us"

"Just the thought of Shiro - nii behind makes me scared…"

"Never knew you were that scared of me"

Sasuke turned ever so slowly and slowly saw Toshiro , his arms crossed and a mix look of amusement and anger on his face.

Sasuke stiffened and removed Aira's arm from around his shoulder and tried to make her stand upright "O-Oh! Hey Shiro - nii!"

"What happened to Aira?"

"A-Aira? N-Nothing...she is fine isn't she…?" Sasuke said as he looked at Aira and prayed for her to shut her mouth and say nothing.

"Is she? Why is she so wobbly and dizzy then?"

"She isn't …" And after that Sasuke removed her hands from Aira's shoulders which were helping her stand upright. She thankfully kept standing even if she was half drunk.

"S-See? She's …" And just then Aira fell face first on the ground "...fine"

"Aira!" Shiro - nii exclaimed as he crouched next to her.

"Are you okay?!" Sasuke asked as he kneeled beside Aira and shook her.

"Huh…?" She lifted her head a bit and looked at them "I am...fine" And her head hit the ground again.

"You are definitely not okay!" Both the brothers chorused as they shook her.

"Anything wrong..? Azusa and I heard some racket here so we came to ...What happened to Aira - chan?!"

"Oh ...sorry we disturbed you…" Toshiro apologized.

"That's alright ...but…" Azusa started "What happened to her?"

"I think it's the fever"

"We'll carry her to the room?" Sasuke suggested.

"Yeah...Tsubaki - kun and you please go inform the others...while Azusa - kun will help me here"

"Okay!" They chorused

"How do we open her door?" Azusa asked

"Good question. I got a spare key for all the rooms down in the study. Let me go get that!" Toshiro said as he ran ahead "Till then please lift her and take her to my room!"

"Roger" He replied as he pondered on how to lift her. Finally giving in he picked her with his one hand below her knees and the other supporting her back.

He was surprised on how light she was and slowly walked towards Toshiro's room. He opened the door and walked inside and placed her on the bed. Looking around he noticed how neat and clean his room was.

"Ehhhhhh….Azu - san?"

He turned around at once and saw Aira , whose eyes were wide open and she was sitting upright.

"What are you doing?!" He exclaimed "Lie down!" He commanded.

"Nope" She replied "I am fine"

She got out of the bed and started doing sit ups "See? I am completely and totaaaaaaally fine!" And she suddenly slipped and fell down.

"Aira!" Azusa crouched beside her "Listen you aren't in the greatest condition to do such things ...so be a good girl and sleep!"

Aira pouted "And what will you give me if I obey you?"

"Uh…? I'll buy you a new game!"

"Seriously? Yay!" She jumped in joy as Azusa sighed.

"I am gonna go to bed!" And she jumped in the bed in an instant.

"This girl…" Azusa whispered as he covered her with the blankets.

(End of 3rd Person's POV)

End of Flashback

My eye twitched. I was so freaking embarrassed at my behaviour that I couldn't forgive myself.

"So that's why everyone decided to keep an eye on you the whole night" Natsume - san finished.

"Is it? Who all finished till now?" I asked. Damn! I made people stay awake because of me.

"Lets see ...Tsubaki , Azusa , Toshiro - san , Sasuke , Rui , Mia , Louis and me"

"Oh god. I owe you guys big time"

"Don't worry about it. So are you fine now?"

After listening to this , definitely "Yeah"

"That's great. I'll go inform Toshiro - san. Please stay in bed"

"Yeah"


I had been in the bed half the day. This was boring. I wasn't weak or unwell anymore. I was sure of it. I got up and walked towards the balcony. I opened the door and let the autumn breeze kiss my skin. It was a bit cold but it felt nice. And I was suddenly in mood.

I walked back in and towards my wardrobe. I opened it. I grabbed the Violin which was resting peacefully at the side. It had been a while since I played it.

I went out of the room again. In one huge leap I pulled myself up on the railing of the balcony. I stumbled a bit because I was out of practice. This used to be my favorite spot to play the violin ever since I was a kid. I regained the balance and the familiar feeling came back to me. Standing on the fourth floor that too on the railing could scare anyone but it didn't scare me. It made me feel peaceful.

I took my Violin out of its case and threw the case on the ground. I took in each and every detail around me like I used to. Placing the violin below my chin , I started playing. The feeling of playing it here , in such an atmosphere brought back memories. This violin had a special trick that could only be used on me. It could relieve me of any pain or any sort of distress I felt. It was magical.

When I finally stopped playing , I looked down to see Io - san coming back from school and I smiled.

"Io - san!" I shouted and waved with the violin in my hand.

He looked up and his expression changed from being calm to becoming scared "Aira!" He shouted , totally out of his princely character. "Get down! You might fall!"

"Chill! I have experience!" I shouted back.

"No! I say get down now!" And than I saw Suba - san walking towards him.

"Iori. What are you shouting for?" I heard him ask and Io - san pointed at me. Suba - san looked up and saw me.

"Get down! You could get hurt!" He shouted. On hearing this Kyo - san and Masa - san came out too with Tsuba - san and Azu - san following.

"Aira!" Masa - san shouted "What are you doing?!"

I crouched and slowly threw the violin on the case. Then I got up and stretched "Watch me!" I shouted.

I looked at the tree in front of me and inspected each and every teeny meeny part of it. I remember my route of how I used to get down and I smiled.

"AIRA!" Masa - san shouted "Don't even think about jumping!" And Shiro - nii and Mia came running out.

"What's the matter? Why are you…" Shiro - nii trailed off as he saw "Don't worry. She won't fall. She's done it thousands of times"

"WHAT?"

"Yeah...Get down already!" Mia shouted

I smirked and jumped on the nearest branch a foot below me. Then a thought struck me. I should try what I did to scare Shiro - nii , Mia , Sasuke and Ema. I purposely placed my foot in the wrong place and on purpose slipped and fell. I heard lots of gasps and shouts but I didn't reach the ground. I knew this trick well and also the tree. There was a branch near the second floor , which I grabbed on because it was the closest. I looked down and winked and all the Asahina brothers present glared at me.

"Ah! Onee - chan is doing tricks on the tree?" I heard the annoying pop star call out. They are back from school already?

"Actually everyone is trying to help me down. I slipped from the balcony you know?" I said as I bat my eyelashes on him.

"How stupid…"

"Fúto! Catch!" I shouted as I jumped to a lower branch and then to another one right above him and then I jumped down , right behind him "I think nobody told you. Your Onee - chan is better than those people who do tricks" I said as I ruffled his hair and ruined it.

"Hey!" He protested , grabbing my arm. " Don't have fever anymore?"

"Aww. You worried?" I asked as I smirked.

"No" He replied bluntly.

"I knew it"

"So you are okay now?" Io - san asked.

"Yup! By the way thanks to all the people who took care of me yesterday"

"It's alright. Glad to know you are fine now"

"That I am"

"Let's go inside. Its getting cold" Masa - nii suggested.

"Sure"


"No way"

Today was the day of the reception and inauguration party for Miwa - san's new showroom in Paris. But the worst thing was Rui again made me wear a dress. It wasn't as plain as the other one though. It was an one piece , white in color that reached my knees. It had a black elastic belt that could be tightened in the middle , on my waist. It was full sleeved , backless and was embroidered with golden threads.

"Rui…"

"You said nothing about not wanting to wear a dress" She replied as she shrugged.

She had a point "Don't even think that I am wearing heels"

"I know. That is why I have these extremely sexy boots here for you" She said as she held black lace boots that would reach my calfs.

"How dare you...you bought boots without me?!"

"Aww...they are a 'Get well soon' gift" Then when she saw my expression change and my eyebrows rise she changed the sentence "Were supposed to be a gift"

I sighed and pulled them from her "I am never returning these"

"They are for you. I doubt I need them"

The door opened and Sasuke entered with Shiro - nii behind him holding Ruka's hand as she clutched Kimi with the other one.

"Everyone is waiting downstairs" Shiro - nii said.

"And you are making it harder to protect you guys" Sasuke said as he ran his hand through his hair.

"Gee..thanks" Rui said as she smiled happily.

"Mistake...Mia , Aria and Em are making it difficult for me" Sasuke said as Rui punched his arm.

"Let's go" Shiro - nii repeated in a stern voice.

"Okay…" He seemed angrier than usual and we just walked behind him slowly.

"Sorry for the wait. These people never learn" Shiro - nii apologized to the rest as we entered the 5th floor.

But looks like none of them cared as half of them were smiling when they saw us enter. Bad luck Shiro - nii.

"You all look very pretty" Io - san complimented as the rest agreed.

"More like beautiful" Kaname butt in.

"Why thank you" Rui replied. I bet she was the happiest person alive right now.

"So shall we?"

"Yeah!"


As soon as I got down I realized Papa and Miwa - san standing at the entrance. I was the first to get out of the Limo as I sprinted and threw my arms around Papa as he laughed in delight and kissed my cheek. I than pulled back and looked at Miwa - san and smiled as she pulled me in a hug. Slowly , slowly everyone was greeting each other.

"It's so nice to see all of you again" Miwa - san smiled at all of us , happiness visible.

"How about we all go inside?" Papa suggested and we nodded in response.

As we started walking inside I nudged Rui and we nodded in agreement. We knew the routine.

"Shiro - nii"

"Yeah?" He asked as he turned around.

"Amy is coming with her fianće today"

"What?" And he looked so bewildered at the fact that I wanted to laugh.

"You had asked remember?" Rui asked playing along.

"Uh...yeah" Round two accomplished. Now he'll be distracted until Amy appears with the fianće guy.

"Shiro - nii chan!" Ruka shouted "What is that?!" She asked pointing at the chandelier that hung in the middle of the hall.

"That is a chandelier" He explained "It's pretty right?"

"Very! I want one in our house too!"

"Your wish is my command" And then they both smiled and suddenly a feeling came to me. A feeling that was saying 'You know it in your heart , you are forgetting something , you are purposely ignoring it'

Was I? Was there anything I was forgetting? Now that I think about it I feel there is something important I am forgetting and I couldn't remember it right when I wanted to.

"It actually is pretty" I heard Rui say beside me and that's when I noticed the heavily decorated hall we were standing in.

Everything inside was white in color. From the pillars to the curtains till the tables and chairs , each and everything was white. It was dimly lit and gave a heavenly touch. Rui was right. It was pretty.

And before I knew it the hall started getting filled with loads of people who were Papa's friends , business partners and relatives. All of us split as we started greeting the people.

In the middle while talking to one of the close friends of Papa I got a call from Amy. She was here.

I signalled Sasuke and Ema as I slowly walked towards the entrance to meet her. Alright. Today was gonna be a long long day.

As I approached the entrance I walked past Amy's parents and I greeted them. Walking further ahead I saw Amy on the steps.

"Amy!" I called out.

She turned , smiled and waved "Hi!"

"Where is your fianće?"

"Uh..he said he was reaching with his parents any minute so I was waiting for him"

"Ahh...I can't wait"

And right than a sleek white Limo stopped in front of us "Its him" Amy said.

The front door opened and a neatly dressed butler got out and opened the door behind. Stepping out with his wife was the one with whom Miwa - san had signed the Paris deal with. One of the finest designers in the world. Wait a second...

The butler walked to the other side and opened the door. Someone stepped out with his back facing to us. As he slowly turned I wish he hadn't.

No! No! This wasn't possible! Amy's fianće ...why him? No , this couldn't be happening!

Out of all people , he was the last person I expected would be her fake fianće.

Out of all people , why Kushieda?


So ...I think 7000 words are enough right?

The thing is I am going to be most probably putting this story on hold...I'll finalise and tell you in the next chapter because I think considering the cliffhanger I left you in ..some of you might kill me if I don't update the next one...

Also I am very sorry for the late update...I'll have the next chapter out by the end of the month ...I hope ...

Thanks for reading and do tell me what you thought about this chapter ..because it was probably the longest one in this story till now...
