Chapter 13

Hikari Rashi's Private Journal Entry

Thursday, Day XX, Month XXXX, Year XXXX

Dear Journal,

Ah~ Opening Night. What a wonderful day it is...for me. My plan has succeeded, everything passed with flying colors. Every single one of my phases absolutely flawless. My dad, Usui and I will soon be on a plane back to England. After which me and Usui will become high school sweethearts and soon marriage! I can see my future before me! Fame, Fortune, my wonderful husband by my side! All thanks to me and my amazing plan.

Soon all of this will be behind me, I will have to encode these past entries more to keep the plan safe and all but that's some other time. My plan has succeeded so much, and I can't thank the man who made this all work (again). My wonderful, gullible, more-of-a-pawn-then-a-dad father, my dad. After all! I will always be his little angel~

Hikari,

Hikari stood up in excitement and left the room without doing ANYTHING else.

Seika High, the same day...

It's a happy and cheerful morning, the sun is shinning, clouds are dotted across the sky, a cool breeze is present to cancel out the heat and everyone is all worked up for the play. But before that play happens there must be a rehearsal, and a very tough, strict and serious rehearsal teacher waiting for them.

Misaki's job doesn't seem to have any affect anymore, everyone knows their lines, when they go on and when to change into their next costumes. So the only job she can do is fill in if someone is not present or cannot do their part for some reason.

When Misaki arrived at the gate and looked up at everyone's happy, smiling faces. Happy...the complete opposite of what she's feeling now...

Later...

The first rehearsal will go on as planned, every scene meant to be played like they're performing tonight. As expected everyone remembered everything they have to do. Only difference - Hikari was there, every now and then she would take a pitiful glance at Misaki, who was sitting on a chair in the shadows of the stage.

Every scene went perfectly, every action, emotion and dialogue were perfect. Everyone has worked a full month for this play, a month filled with laughing, shouting, mess-ups, mannequins and of course excitement. Everyone was looking forward to the play except for two people, Usui and Misaki. It's like the world is falling apart, every memory and every hardship just came running back through Misaki's mind, she could imagine how much easier this would be if all of that never happened, and how empty her life would be if it didn't.

But it's no time to wander on that problem, maybe some other time, who knows? Maybe the universe will open it's eyes upon this problem and solve it.

The teacher clasped his hands and stood up from his chair. "Okay everyone! Final scene! COME ON! MOVE IT!" he shouted strictly.

A few boys pushed in the props and pulled the backdrop onto stage.

"Okay...ACTION!" the teacher shouted.

On that cue the girls opened some jars of fireflies, a special touch Hikari decided to add to the final scene- the kissing scene. The gentle music started to play and as soon as the fireflies were spread out enough, the two slowly walked onto the stage. You could hear the clacking of Hikari's heels, taking long gentle strides toward the middle of the stage. On the other end was Usui, his boots hitting the stage, thumping loudly, as if he's mad (which of course, he is).

As the two reached center stage, about one meter apart, Hikari spoke. "Romeo..." she said, her voice as gentle as the ocean breeze.

Usui clenched his fist inconspicuously. "Juliet..." he replied, with a hint crookedness in his voice.

Hikari grinned devilishly "You know what do to Romeo..." she whispered silently.

"Tch..." Usui mumbled. He put one hand behind Hikari's waist and one behind her head.

Hikari slowly closed her eyes and positioned her head for the kiss.

Usui slowly lowered his head, with his face obviously disgusted. Right as they were about to kiss...Usui pushed Hikari away.

Hikari took a step back to balance herself again. She looked up furiously. "WHAT DO YOU THINK YO-" she was about to finish when she realized everyone was looking at her. She shifted into a calm position and said "What do you think your doing Usui." she hissed silently.

"Yes Takumi, what DO you think you're doing?" the teacher asked impatiently.

Usui paused for a moment, then he found an excuse. "I feel that it would be best to leave the kiss for the end. To build tension and emotion." he replied professionally.

Hikari chuckled. "I'm sorry honey." she said politely. "But do you understand how stupid that soun-"

Before she could finish, the teacher interrupted. "Very amusing Takumi, very amusing. Although I may have some disagreements I will accept your request. We shall leave the kiss until the real performance." he replied.

Hikari stood there, dumbfounded. "Eh?" she said.

There were snickers and chuckles coming from behind the stage. As Hikari stormed off to the changing room some boys and girls were whispering to each other. Mostly asking each other the same questions.

"Are they a real couple?"

"What the hell was that about?"

"Maybe he's just trying to be romantic."

"She must feel pretty embarrassed right now, you know, to have her boyfriend refuse a romantic kiss."

"Omg what a meanie Takumi is!"

"I bet it's just something they agreed on."

"Then why did Hikari looked so shocked?"

"Err...acting?"

"Haha, yeah right, get real."

These different replies and theories were completely wrong. But Hikari knew the REAL reason why Usui wouldn't kiss her. But she had no worries, after the kiss tonight she can picture it now. Them on a plane to England and they will live a fulfilling life together. An evil grin crept onto her face.

"Alright people! Lunch break!" the teacher said on his microphone.

Lunch...

The kiss refusal during the rehearsal topic soon went astray. Everyone started getting worked up about the play tonight. Everyone has already arranged a small congratulatory party after the play. A sort of "Hooray for the play's success" kind of thing. As expected Hikari will be the star of the party, as she is the one who organized this play. Even though there will be free food from Le Bronze Cafe (which Hikari agreed to pay for) Misaki doesn't feel like going. Suzuna will just stop by and maybe grab some food then leave.

Misaki sat down in the middle of the grassy field, Sakura and Shizuko started talking about how exciting the play will be.

"Kyaah~! I can't WAIT for the play tonight! I'm so excited!" Sakura said with her body shaking in anticipation of how great the play is going to be.

"We even get to go to Le Bronze cafe! I hear that their food is very exquisite! They have the latest in cooking and ordering technology! They have an automated waiting service! With the push of a button you can call for a waiter! They even have..."

As Shizuko blabbered on about technology Sakura and Misaki had a small chat.

"So Misaki! Are you excited for the play?" Sakura asked.

"Huh? Oh, yeah! IT's gonna be real great!" Misaki replied.

"So watcha gonna get at Le Bronze? I feel like eating a whole bowl full of their umm...gelato!" Sakura said happily.

"Oh umm...I wasn't actually going to go to Le Bronze. Because I don't really-"

"WHAT?" Shizuko interrupted in the middle of explaining their computer stove system.

"But Misaki-chaan! It wouldn't be a party without you!" Sakura wailed.

"I'm sorry but I really don't feel like going..." Misaki said.

"B-but the technology is state-of-the-art!" Shizuko stated.

"Please come!" Sakura said.

"But-"

"We can't enjoy the party without you!" Sakura wailed.

"We've got to stick together!" Shizuko said.

"Yeah! BFFs!" Sakura said as she pointed to her necklace.

"Yeah!" Shizuko agreed, pointing to hers.

"Uhh...fine." Misaki said, smiling warmly.

Seika High Outdoor Theater, 6:45 PM (15 minutes 'till showtime)

Everyone had just finished changing, Misaki peeked over the curtains. There was a huge (yet organized) sea of people. Every seat filled, all the way down the theater. The sound of short chats and squeals of excitement filled the air. The entire theatre was dark except for the stage and some lamps by the complimentary food tables. This must have been expensive.

"All right everyone! Only quarter of an hour until showtime!" the teacher said behind the stage. "Remember! Keep in character and NEVER and I mean NEVER forget your lines!"

"Yes sensei!" they all replied.

"Now go and have a quick read through your lines, have a drink, arrange your clothes or whatever you think is right! Meet you back here at 6:58!" he said.

The group of students dispersed.

"6:58!" the teacher said again.

6:51 PM

Misaki looked around the back stage. She could see how many different things people were doing. Some were practicing lines together, some were acting all professional and getting a drink and a small snack and some were in a group of friends, comforting each other, encouraging themselves. Wait a minute...

"Sakura and Shizuko! I better check on how their doing!" Misaki thought.

She looked around to see if she could find one of them. She found Sakura and Shizuko sitting in two chairs, practicing their lines. Misaki walked toward them to check up on how they're doing.

"B-but Onee-chan! Please!" Sakura wailed.

"No Rose. You cannot come to the festival with me!" Shizuko replied.

"Waah~!" Sakura cried.

"and that's when the scene ends." Shizuko said.

Misaki clapped. "This was amazing! Good job!"

Sakura became all sparkly-eyed. "Really?" she asked innocently.

"Of course it was!" Misaki replied happily.

"Ah Misaki! Do you think you could help Sakura with the next scene while I go get some water?" Shizuko asked.

"Sure!" Misaki replied.

Misaki helped Sakura with her lines and soon the teacher was calling.

"Okay everyone! Gather up! It's almost showtime!" he said.

As everyone pooled back together Hikari went out to the audience. She scanned for her father's seat, which was meant to be on the first row. When she came across the seat she saw her bodyguard, Harry occupying it.

"Harry! Where is Father?" Hikari hissed silently.

"He had something to do. But don't worry." Harry said as he took a video camera out from his breast pocket. "He will see the video when you are at Le Bronze."

"Tch...then be sure to film EVERYTHING." Hikari demanded as she walked backstage.

7:00 PM

The teacher walked center stage. "Good evening ladies and gentlemen. This entire month has been a huge burden for us. A lot of shouting, mess-ups, hard work and extremely long and boring rehearsals. But all of our pain and suffering is all for this day. The day we show you how hard Seika has worked to make this play the best it can be. Now without further ado I present to you, Seika High's first ever production! Romeo and Juliet!" He started to walk off-stage.

The audience clapped formally, a few shouts and loud whistles were heard as well.

8:07 PM

Th play has gone by perfectly so far, everyone is content with the play. Except Hikari. Her father hasn't arrived yet, this might be a bad sign. But no time to worry now, the curtains are closed and the final scene is about to begin.

Hikari fixed her make-up and she stood standing by the edge of the stage when she saw Harry walking up the stairs.

"What do you want Harry?" Hikari hissed.

"Miss Rashi I'm very sorry to interrupt. Bu-"

"Oh you better be sorry." Hikari stated.

Harry gritted his teeth."Miss Rashi I have some bad news."

Hikari froze. "E-eh?" she stuttered.

"Your laptop, someone has been using it." Harry said.

Hikari chuckled. "My laptop is being used?" she asked. "Oh my laptop is being used it's the end of the world!" she said sarcastically.

Harry was standing there, embarrassed by his false alarm.

"What could possibly be on that lapto-"

Then it hit her.

She dashed backstage and Harry followed her. The teacher saw her running toward the back exit. He chased after her.

"Hikari! What are you doing? The final scene is about to start!" he whispered furiously into Hikari's ear.

"Stall it. For as long as you can! Just tell them it's break or something! I will come back! Just wait for me!" Hikari shouted.

"MISS RASHI! THE PLAY MUST BE FINISHE-"

"Miss Rashi says to stall them." Harry interrupted in a low, serious voice.

The teacher gulped. "M-miss Rashi says t-to st-tall t-them." he replied shakily.

and the teacher did as he was told.

8:23 PM, Hikari's Apartment...

Hikari ran through the door.

"Dad!" she shouted.

No reply.

"Dad!" she repeated, running across the hallway.

Still no reply.

Hikari opened the door to the reading room. He saw her father's arm rested on the armrest of the large, black, leather chair. A portion of the back of his head creeping out from the side of the chair.

"Dad?" Hikari said.

There was a slight pause. Then a sound of a laptop lid being closed. Her father turned the chair towards Hikari, the laptop resting on his lap. "That's right Hikari, you will always be my little angel..."

Hikari stood there, in shock.
