Disclaimer: I don't own Prince of Tennis!

Here's another one-shot! Yay for Atobe this time! He gets to be 'the prince' of this one!

Well… Won't be for long, anyway… I almost feel sorry for him as I've got the plot written out… Mwahahaha!

Let's get on with torturing Atobe, no?

Let's see… It's seven years after their High School, so now they're about twenty-five or so!

He is rich; he is handsome, and he is admired by men and women alike.

…But he's also a world's biggest jerk. An egotistical, insensitive jerk at that.

And I'm in love, not to mention engaged, to THAT jerk!

I frown as Keigo smirks at his blond female companion hanging on his arm. Call me over possessive for all I care, but I wouldn't care Keigo hanging out with other females… As long as it's anyonebut her.

…Kasara Rika; the heiress of famous 'Kasara and Co. Inc.' model company, well-known as a model herself and back in High School her reputation wasn't that good in Rikkai Dai as she was known as boyfriend-stealer and such. Yup, she's a stereotype brainless blond and probably have her boobs implanted. But I couldn't care less about herself…

(A/N: Sorry!!! No offense to the blond readers!!!)

…But Kami hates me and decides to make her family 'an old colleague' with the Atobes! URGH! And besides that, Keigo says she's nothing but 'a good friend and somebody that is worthy enough of his presence'.

…I really want to dissect his skull and investigate his brain! It'd probably get me a Nobel Award for new discovery of what's inside the deluded mind of the 'disgustingly rich' people!

Just as Keigo goes to talk to some other people, Kasara approaches me. I pull on Seiichi's sweet smile with ease, and I smile wider as Kasara visibly shivers.

I'm planning your death, Kasara! Slow, painful one at that! Mwahaha!

"Waiting for Keigo, I presume?" She asks me snobbishly as she eyes Keigo's back.

I give her a 'what-else' look. "Of course, I came with him." I grin sweetly as she flinches.

SCORE: Kisaki – 1, Kasara – 0!

"You can just leave; you don't have to wait for him." Her declaration hits a nerve within me, and I frown slightly. "It's weird. You're a grown-up, but, like, you act like a brat. I don't understand how a person like Keigo is engaged to you."

I give her a defiant stare, my eyes blazing furiously. "It's none of your business, Kasara."

…ARGH! I hate her! I hate, hate, hate her! I soooo wanna strangle her neck!

She gives me a pompous grin. "Keigo and I known each other for, like, longer than you. I'm, like, worry about him and I don't want him to, like, get headache over a woman like you when he has so many other important things to deal with." She flips her hair.

… Where's the damn razor when I need it!? I'm going to shave this biatch bald!

I merely give her an innocent look, which must annoys her so bad because I can see her frowning, her thick make-up creases slightly, and I grin wider. "You know, for an outsider, you sure talk a lot." I cast her uninterested look. "And you're just 'friends' with him, no?"

She smirks. "I've got my eyes set on Keigo since we're kids, that's why I don't want him to, like, waste his time on a nobody like you."

SO that biatch got her eyes set on my Keigo!? Oooh, she's SO living in her dream if she thinks I'll give up without a hell of a fight!

"Kasumi-hime!" I laugh as midnight-blue hair Kansai friend of mine sweeps me into his arms. "Fancy meeting you here; and where's that delude fiancé of yours?" He smirks as I start snickering at the sight of ready-to-explode Kasara.

Ooh… You're totally DISS, Kasara Rika!

And it looks like Yuushi catches on to what I'm trying to do as he strikes up a casual conversation with me but purposefully leaves Kasara outta it. YES! Thank Kami for sending Yuushi to the rescue!

SCORE: Kisaki – 2, Kasara – 0!

And seems like Kami is in my favor since Kasara has an urgent call that makes her leave the gathering faster than she 'intends', but hell, who am I to complain about the loss of her 'oh-so-pleasant' companionship?

…I must be outta my damn mind if I say I miss her company, yeah right!

Since I'm too pissed with Keigo for being too insensitive to care, I ask Hikaru, my adoptive baby brother from Shitenhouji Junior High, to take me back to my apartment since he happens to live in the same building, coincidentally or not. I don't really mind because I get to spend quality time with my cute Hikaru-chan!

Whoops, that comes out a bit wrong! I'm NOT incest lover, mind you!

"Atobe-san cares about you, Nee-san." Hikaru speaks up as he pulls his car into the parking lot of our building. "He doesn't think of Kasara-san more than just a friend, even though… Kasara-san doesn't think of Atobe-san as 'just a friend'. Oshitari-sempai told me that Yuushi-san told him. Atobe-san knows what Kasara-san thinks about him, but he… pretends not to care. Kasara-san's family helped Atobe-san's company a lot. Most men are like that, we're happy and good to the person that helped us, ignoring the false hope we'd give. Atobe-san is raised a gentleman as well… So it goes to show."

…Sniff… Hikaru-chan, you ARE so smart! I'm SO proud of you!

Dark green eyes offer me unspoken support. "Even though I know you love Atobe-san, Nee-san, but him with his reputation of a lady-killer doesn't really help your relationship, no?" He then gives me an evil smile. "Why not make Atobe-san feels like you do?"

I roll my eyes. "Hikaru, you forgot that Keigo doesn't really think of anybody as his equals. It's going to be a hell of a challenge, even though I love challenge, but you're stating Mission Impossible. Keigo just wouldn't care."

"Yes, you can make him care, because I'll help you, Nee-san." Hikaru smiles. "It's very important for him to understand you because you both are getting marry soon, and you won't get anywhere with him like this."

"Hikaru…" I start tiredly but sigh as I see determination in my baby brother's eyes. Ooh boy, what've I gotten myself into?

"…Just make sure you don't do anything drastic, all right?" I give him an amused look.

"Yes, Nee-san. I'll go over the details with you tomorrow morning. Oyasumi na, Nee-san!"

The following day, 10AM…

I groan at the sight of 'the famous three' tensais and 'the trickster' from during our school years outside my door. "Hikaru, what did I say about don't do anything drastic?" I demand my baby brother with a hand poised on my hip. "You've brought these guys!"

Yuushi laughs smoothly, Syuu-kun snickers, and Masaharu cackles. "Why, love, I'm hurt!" The silver-hair (still) trickster saunters into my living room. "Zaizen told me a damsel in distress is involved so I came running." He plops down onto my couch and smirks at me.

GRR… He should be thankful I consider him one of my BEST friends or else…

He'd be thrown out before he can even say 'Punk'd'!

"Saa, what's it that I've heard about you and Atobe, Mi-chan?" Syuu-kun asks me with his usual melodic voice as he sits down on my sofa. "Pre-marriage problems?"

ARGH! THAT'S IT! I'LL THROW THEM OUT BEFORE THEY CAN DAMAGE MY SANITY FURTHER!

…Too late, they're all in here anyway…

"Well, what can I say? Atobe can be a jerk, a good one at that." Yuushi smirks and adjusts his glasses. "But have no fear, we've all come up with a plan just to help you out, Kasumi-hime." He purrs

I raise my eyebrow at Hikaru, who just exits my kitchen with drinks in a tray. "You four have been discussing before you came here?" I ask incredulously. "Zaizen Hikaru!"

Baby brother or not, I'll shoot him! The nerve of that boy!

Hikaru gives me a sheepish smile. "Ah, Nee-san, I'm worried about you, that's why." He raises a hand in the surrendering manner. "Besides, Yuushi-san came up with a really good plan."

I twitch, almost letting loose my EBIL personality that has been hidden for so long. Hell no, like hell I'll let it out! I plop down onto the sofa and shake my head unenthusiastically. "It's not going to work, Keigo won't change just for me, and you guys know it." I really have to try to convince them outta this.

Masaharu frowns. "I'm not about to see my best friend married off to an arsehole who doesn't even care about his own fiancée." He says in a low voice. "Either we get him to realize you're not the same as some shallow harlot who would hang onto his every word, or he can explain himself to Kenta-san's rage." He leans back into the couch. "Which is it going to be, babe?"

…I should've known that Masaharu will bring Nii-san into this! Damn! I've been too careless!

I calculate all the odds inside my head, and then raise my eyes to look at my friends. "…Tell me about your plan." I say firmly as I look into Yuushi's eyes.

Hikaru sits down next to me and grins. "The plan is easy, you've to reflect his behaviors into his face, and have him understand what you feel." Green eyes dance in glee. "I'll help you, Nee-san!"

I grimace. "Hikaru, I'm not born flirtatious and egocentric like that." I laugh as he pouts and lies down; using my laps as a pillow. "I didn't learn on how to get a male's interests, thanks to certain somebody." I quip and look pointedly at the trickster, who smirks back at me.

DAMN RIGHT NIOU! You and your teammates all made me wasted my springtime of youth during High School!

Syuu-kun and Yuushi laughs. "Saa, you don't need quantity, Mi-chan, just quality." Syuu-kun smiles and I shiver.

…Not good! He's up to no good!

Yuushi smirks slyly. "You don't need to find a male that Atobe can count as his equal; just me will be fine, Kasumi-hime."

"SAY WHAT!?"

The next day…

Yuushi arrives at my apartment about an hour after Keigo arrived to execute his plan. All I can do is blink at the Kansai male. He smirks and tells me he'll lead, all I've to do is follow his lead…

…Honestly, I doubt whether I was thinking straight or not to agreed with his plan!

"I bought what you've asked." Yuushi purrs at me sexily. "I'll put it in the kitchen, hmm?"

"What did you buy?" Keigo, who is sitting on my sofa, turns to narrow his eyes at Yuushi.

…Yeah! What the hell did he buy!?

"Kasumi told me to buy some food." Yuushi answers as he comes back and opens some snacks; arranging them into a plate. "I'll help you to cook, Kasumi; you won't tire out that way." Yuushi purrs and ignores Keigo's stare.

I think by now Keigo would feel something's wrong! Usually Yuushi won't just call me by my name; he'd add some kinda nickname like 'hime' or at least 'chan' in the end!

"Sure, Yuushi." I grin. "Are you hungry, Keigo? Just eat these first, Yuushi sure bought a lot…" I push a plate in front of him and give him an innocent smile I've mastered.

"I'm helping Kasumi to cook, Atobe. We'll finish cooking before noon." Yuushi stresses the part that he will help me, and I see something flickers inside Keigo's blue eyes.

…YES! Thank Kami he FEELS something!

Yuushi enthusiastically helps me in the kitchen, and it surprises me to see that he can do some culinary, even though not that good, but still I'm surprised! He keeps saying things in purrs to me, too!

"Atobe, you could invite Kasara to eat with us, you know? It's more fun with more people." Yuushi turns to say to Keigo, and I almost cut my finger.

DAMN YUUSHI! DON'T GET KEIGO PISSED AT ME LIKE THAT!

"Hey, is it necessary to get him worked up like that?" I ask Yuushi softly.

The Kansai genius laughs. "The more the better, Kasumi-hime." He purrs. "Don't worry; he won't break it off with you."

…I'm really starting to doubt the fantastic four's plan…really…

After that, it gets even worse when Yuushi purposefully starts to flirt with me; totally ignoring Keigo's murderous stares altogether. Even when Hikaru comes over to my place for his bento, Yuushi won't allow the younger Kansai male into the kitchen to help him wash the dishes.

"Don't worry about it, Atobe is not that fragile." The blue-hair male chuckles at my worried look. I pout. I have all rights to be worry, dammit! "It won't work with a person with Atobe if we sit him down and talk to him; we need to reflect this via you." He winks at me. "You fuss over him too much; time to lay low for a while."

I open my mouth and am about to say something when I hear Keigo's voice from the living room. "Rika? Ore-sama is busy at the moment… Do you have anything urgent?"

I snap my mouth shut and scowl at the dish in my hand. "Oh hell yeah, I'll show him lay low." I say in almost a snarl, and Yuushi laughs out loud.

…I'll show you LAY LOW, ATOBE KEIGO!

A few days later…

I coincidentally run into Yuushi when I go to the bookstore near my apartment, and his reason for being there is because he needs to pick up some books for his references.

Yuushi smirks and leans forward. "May I walk this pretty lady home?" He purrs, and I fight back a grin as some females nearby shoot me a jealous look as they swoon.

CHA! Dream on, girls! My friend here only chase after females with nice legs!

"Yeah, sure, Yuushi. Thanks." I give him a bright smile as he takes my purchase and carries it for me. "So, have you seen Keigo these past few days?" I ask.

Yuushi smirks wider. "Of course I did, and he kept giving me these murderous looks during our meetings." He laughs as I pout at him. "We're doing great so far, so don't worry about it, Kasumi-hime." He teases me.

…Kami and the Gods of Irony up there must be having a field day because as soon as we reach my apartment, no other than Atobe Keigo, my fiancé, is sitting in my living room and shooting Yuushi a look that promised murder.

…ARGH! I hate you, Kami-sama!

"Why on earth are you two together, arn?" Keigo hums coldly.

I grin sheepishly, but before I'm able to answer his question, Yuushi beats me to it. "We went to see a movie together. Kasumi told me she wants to watch 'Resident Evil', but you were busy, so I accompanied her." I can only stare at the Kansai male beside me as he lets the lie comes out from his mouth. "It's not my type of movie, but who am I to say no to pretty lady here?"

Oshitari Yuushi!!!! I'm going to shoot you! I'm going to shoot you then I'll resurrect you just to stab you! DIE!

…And I've just discovered that the look in Keigo's eyes can cause a drop in the whole apartment's temperature by few degrees as he starts to get piss… NOO!!!!

AND Yuushi decides to leave me the time bomb into my hands by winking at me, saying he had a great time out together with me today, and leaves… I'm seriously considering about poison him or doing something like that…

…I'll ask Seiichi for further reference, Mwahaha!

Right now I need to deal with Keigo!

"Have you eaten yet?" I ask my fiancé with a smile.

He gives me an impassive look. "Yes, I have." He seems to be considering something… "Kasumi."

"Yes?" I raise my eyebrow at him.

"Can I stay over for a night?" I gape at his question.

SAY WHAT!? The great 'ore-sama' wants to spend a night HERE and not in his magnificent palace of a house!? Are you bloody freaking kidding me!?

I open my mouth to protest. "But you know Hikaru sometimes come-."

"Ore-sama is more important than that kid. Ore-sama will take the guestroom." He cuts me off, quite rudely at that! URGH! Stupid Keigo and his ego!

…Scratch that, I'd say the ego the size of Andromeda!

I frown at my fiancé. "Fine, but if you try to do anything funny by breaking into my room at night, I'll kick you out, fiancé or not." I threaten him, and he shrugs nonchalantly.

Sometimes I wonder how the hell I agreed to marry Atobe Keigo, after all the headaches he put me through during our times together. It seems to be a continuous routine of some sorts that we'll fight at least once a week, make up, and then fight all over again. It tires me out to fight him because Keigo just doesn't accept the fact thatnobody can freaking be right all the time!

Now… I have to get the mattress out for His Majesty… Where the hell did Hikaru shove my spare pillows!? I'll kill him later for bringing Yuushi into this! URGH!

Since I left my phone in the living room's table earlier, I can hear the rings of incoming call. It's not long before Keigo storming into the guestroom with a frown on his face. I blink in confusion and take the phone from him, looking at the incoming call shows on screen in process…

…Oshitari Yuushi is considered a dead man, CHA!

I walk away from my fiancé a bit before I hit the accept button. "Yes?"

"Is Atobe still with you?" Comes the oh-so-familiar purr from the other side of the line.

I sigh. "Yes, Yuushi, he's with me. Ja."

"Wow, wait, wait, wait, Kasumi-hime. It's rude to cut an important person off like that." I swear I can practically see Yuushi smirking from the other side. "Is he pissed?"

"…Keigo is Keigo; you figure that out yourself, Yuushi." I snap the phone shut and turn around to give Keigo a sweet smile as he frowns at me. "I'll finish up soon. You can go and clean up first, Keigo, I know you're tired. I'll make you something to eat later if you're hungry because I'll be staying up and go over some stuff Nii-san left for me for a while."

"Why did Yuushi call?" He demands.

I swallow thickly and edge away from the guestroom as I feel tension coming from him. Thanks a lot for dumping more craps for me to deal with, Yuushi! "He just called to ask about you."

"Does he call you often?" He follows me out.

"…Not really." I sigh and rub my eyes. "Look, Keigo, I'm too tired to fight with you today; it's not what you think. Yuushi and I are just-."

"What the hell does this mean, arn?" He strides past me to pick up a stylish wooden photo frame on the table near the TV, then blue eyes blaze in cold fury.

I blink at him and take a look at the picture. I twitch. The fantastic four will be dealt with PERSONALLY after this whole chaos is over! I'll make sure of it!

…In that photo… It's Yuushi and I standing next to each other, smiling, whereas I remember that I've framed a photo of my brother and myself in the same background and such!

…I'll shoot that dam trickster! I should've known a computer expert like him will do something like this!

I stop twitching as Keigo advances slowly. Shite, I'm going to die! I yelp and start to run towards my room, but Keigo beats me to it and pushes me against the wall. "I know Yuushi is a friend of yours, but you are engaged to me. I don't like you doing this, even though he is my best friend or your friend." He says in a voice that can freeze hell over and back. "Even if you used to have a crush on him, you can't do that anymore unless you've broken up with me." He let me go not too gently, walks away with his head up high, and slams the door shut after him.

I groan and rub my temple… Damn those fantastic four for making my life more complicated than it is…

…How the hell am I supposed to appease the jealous Keigo!?

Two week and a half later…

YEAH! I LOVE OSAKA! BANSAI FOR KANSAI PROWESS!

After that photo event, Keigo and I haven't contact each other via any form of communication at all. I didn't bother trying to call him because he mentioned to me about an important meeting in Hong Kong for some times, and Kenta Nii-san has suddenly decided I've been slacking off and shoved me a whole bunch of paper works for me to go through.

And plus, I think Keigo is still pissed with me about that. I don't really want to have him going all 'Ice Emperor' on me if I call as well. Besides, I can't really blame the fantastic four on their actions because I know they care about me.

But after the hell of paper works to go through for Nii-san, it's my summer vacation! Yippee!

My father thinks Nii-san has been pushing me too hard, thus resulting in him forcing my older brother to send me on a week vacation back to my hometown, Osaka! Not that I'm complaining!

I still keep contacts with my friends from Shitenhouji so I contact Shiraiishi Kuranosuke first-hand as soon as my plane landed, and Kura and Oshitari Kenya, Yuushi's cousin, pick me up at the airport.

…Thank Kami Kenya doesn't have a habit of fussing over others like Yuushi…much!

Kura and Kenya has bought a hotel near Osaka castle and manage it together, seeing as Kenya doesn't really bother about finding a job because he thinks having a boss to nag him about deadlines and such are too troublesome… Yup, Kenya is really opposite of Yuushi!

I've been in Osaka for almost a week now, and I've hit a jackpot when I run into Yuushi and Hikaru… Gods of Irony must be having fun torturing me!!!

The moment they see me, not even Kenya's famous speed can save me from them!

From their explanations, it seems that Yuushi is there for medical lectures and Hikaru for his photo shoots… Oh, I haven't told you that Hikaru and Akaya are famous models for Kisaki's fashion magazine that I'm the boss, no? Well, now you know. I don't really care if people gossip about them pulling strings because I know my baby brothers both have the looks for modeling and right attitudes for that.

Plus, all workers know I'll fire whoever gossip about my beloved baby brothers!

The both of them move into Kura and Kenya's hotel as well, and we all check out and return to Tokyo at the same day… Not that I've many choice, seeing that Hikaru learns puppy eyes trick from Akaya and I'm a total sucker for that!

…Well… Look on the bright side, at least Kenya is sane and decides to visit Tokyo too!

Seeing as Yuushi has parked his car at the airport before he went to Osaka, he gives three of us a ride back to the apartment… I can't be bothered to call Nii-san and make him send a car to pick us up, because that means I'll have to go back to work early!

...No way I'm going to give up my vacation!

As soon as I open the door of my apartment, I feel like hitting somebody… Niou Masaharu and Fuji Syuusuke are sitting in my living room; both have arrogant smirk plaster on their faces!

"We met Atobe at this restaurant yesterday," Haru starts narrating as if sensing my murderous intent and my 'you-better-say-something-good-or-else' look. "We got to converse with him a little; seeing as he's 'busy' with Kasara. Wait, it gets better." He smirks. "They were busy flirting, so this genius here brought up the conversation of you with some 'guy friends' in Osaka."

…WHAT!? Do they even have brains!? Don't they know I'll be the one to die first, not them!?

"Don't worry about it, Kasumi." Yuushi puts his hand on my shoulder to comfort me. "If it's somebody he'll be angry at, it'd be me, not you." He smirks. "I told Atobe I have to go for lectures in Osaka."

…ARGH! It's SO not the time to be smirking, dammit!

"Ah, no wonder he was so pale for a minute, and the next he was so red he can put a tomato to shame!" Haru laughs and I twitch so badly it makes him shut up.

Yuushi shrugs. "He called me about twenty times or so yesterday, but I didn't return his call. It doesn't really matter anyway…" Dark eyes look at me in amusement. "Kasumi-hime, mind I stay over here for a night?"

I groan… Great, more migraines to come… Damn them all!

The next morning…

I wake up around 7AM and start cooking breakfast… Yuushi's still sleeping in the guestroom. But he wakes up soon after I'm half way through cooking and tells me he'll go down to Hikaru's place to use the bathroom… Apparently, Keigo wrecked the guestroom's one.

…Remind me to send the bill to Atobe's manor! CHA!

KNOCK KNOCK!

…Who the hell could possibly be here? Hikaru won't get up until much later, well, not unless I go down to wake him up anyway… Hmm… Weird…

I open the door and find myself staring at the ice blue pair of my fiancé. Shite. "Keigo? How did you get here?" I ask him in surprise.

He frowns at me disapprovingly. "Why can't I be here, arn?" He replies through gritted teeth and glares at me. Crap, he's REALLY pissed! I move away from him but Keigo is faster. He pulls me towards him and cages me with his arms. I squeak none too quietly.

HELP ME, KAMI-SAMA! I'M TOO YOUNG TO DIE!

"Why are you afraid of your own fiancé, hn? What did you do wrong?" He sneers at me with blazing eyes. I open my mouth to speak but find myself unable to, so I settle for a rapid shake of my head.

What the hell do you expect me to do!? Stand there and get kill?! He's the one barging in looking like a mad murderer!

"Keigo, you need to calm down, they can hear us next door." I tell him in almost a squeak.

"How the hell do you expect ore-sama to calm down when his fiancée and his best friend cheated on him behind his back? HOW!?" He snaps.

I feel something snap inside my head. "Then what about you and Kasara, huh!? Don't you think I'm pissed too!?" I yell back at him, and yelp as Keigo tightens his grip on my arm.

"If you told me before that the person you loved is Oshitari, I won't let things like this happen." He says in his deadly cold voice. "So everything was a lie, Kasumi?"

"You're misunderstanding everything, Keigo!" I try to protest as he pushes me into my bedroom. "Stop this!" I struggle to get away from him.

NOO!!! I've saved my virginity for the last twenty five years of my life and now he's going to take it away just like that!? NO WAY!

"I did nothing wrong! And Yuushi and I didn't cheat on you, Atobe Keigo!" I hiss. "Let me go, NOW!" I yell at him Genichirou's style, and he pauses for a millisecond before continues to drags me towards the bed.

"No, since you can sleep with my best friend, ore-sama has that right too. And as for your purity, ore-sama will be the judge of that." He pushes me down onto the bed before trapping me there by using his weight.

It's probably the bed that gets my jumbled thoughts clear out. I'm not going to lose my virginity here like this! This is not the way I planned it to be! KASUMI FIGHTING!

"Keigo! STOP THIS NONSENSE NOW!" You better or else I'll punch you! "STOP BEING AN ARSEHOLE!"

CRASHH! BANG! CRASHHH!!!

"Get the fuck off her!" Somebody rips the mad Keigo off me by force and shoves him against the wall. "Don't you fucking touch my friend like that, Atobe! " The familiar drawl-like voice which is now utter with absolute fury lets me know it is no other than Masaharu who saves me.

…Thank Kami, if he comes in a tad later, who knows what could happen to me…

Yuushi, Hikaru and Kenya follow him in afterward. Hikaru takes one look at me and pales. "Nee-san, are you all right?" He sits down on the bed next to me and begins to inspect me from head to toe. "Are you hurt?" My baby brother asks with concerned voice and pats my cheek gently. "Nee-san?"

"I'm fine." Despite that, I have no idea when tears start streaming down from my eyes. "Haru came just in time. Thanks, Hikaru-chan." I reach out to pat his head with a shaking hand, but he grabs my hand and squeezes it as if to reassure me, and I'm very grateful for that.

"I've called Kirihara and Fuji-san, they're coming over." Hikaru tells me quietly and watches Masaharu and Keigo glaring death threats at each other. "I think we need to explain it to Atobe-san, nee-san."

I merely flick my gaze over at Yuushi, who sighs but nods. "Niou, take him to the living room. Kenya, help Zaizen to get Kasumi out. I need to make sure Niou doesn't start butchering Atobe." Yuushi orders in strings of commands and leaves after Masaharu and Keigo.

I sigh and wipe the tears with the handkerchief offers to me by Hikaru.God, I'm really in love with a stupid prat who has an ego the size of Andromeda. And I'm really starting to get tired by his attitude. I groan and massage my temple.

…I can't believe this is actually happening to me!

Kenya kneels in front of me. "Hey, Mi-chan, are you all right?" He talks in his thick Kansai accent, and I smile slightly. Kenya's accent is the weirdest one apart from Yuushi, really! "Do you think you can get out there?" He smiles as he sees the determined look in my eyes.

I stand up. "Let's get this over with." I keep my head up high. "Thanks Kenya, you too, Hikaru. This really means a lot to me." I give them both my bright smile, and they smile back.

Cha! Time to deal with some arsehole!

I stride into the living room and choose to sit down in front of myfiancé with Kenya and Hikaru sitting at my sides. I take in a deep breath. Here goes nothing… "Everything that happened in the past few weeks was our plan; I need you, Keigo, to understand my feelings about what happened between you and Kasara. So Yuushi and I need to act the same way as you and Kasara are to each other."

Keigo frowns at me. "Ore-sama doesn't understand."

"Yes, you do! You make me worry about Kasara, and even if you tell me you're 'just friends' with her, but your actions are different! And that's exactly how you feel when Yuushi and I reflect your behaviors back to you!" I frown back at him. "We're engaged to be married in a few months, Keigo, and I need you to understand how I feel about things."

"I can't believe this. You can't even trust your own fiancé?" He looks at me with a raised eyebrow. "Kasumi, I thought you know me better than that." He rubs his chin.

I sulk. "I knew Atobe Keigo is my fiancé, but I can't possibly know every single reason for your actions, can't I?" I mutter irritably, and the others but my fiancé snicker.

…I'll deal with them later for their 'genius' plan, CHA!

"…Oshitari, Zaizen, Niou," after a few minutes of sitting there in silence, Keigo speaks up with a smirk. "Out, now." His demand surprises me as well as the others in the room.

He wants me alone with him in the room!? No good, this can't be good!

I give Yuushi and Masaharu my super puppy dog eyes; Yuushi chuckles but shakes his head at me, whereas Masaharu seems to want to stay… However Yuushi drags him out before he can even protest. "We'll be right outside." He grins and pushes the others out.

…Shite, now it's just Keigo and me…

I keep my gaze firm at the front door as Keigo stands up and walks to stand in front of me. Keigo can do the make-up part, I smirk inwardly; I'm not going to let him off easily without torture! CHA!

"I don't have anything else to say to you." I huff and turn away from him.

Damn right I don't! Better start groveling for my forgiveness now, Atobe!

"We have many things to talk about, Kasumi." He chuckles. "Don't you act like a spoilt kitty on me yet, or else I won't be able to control myself."

I bolt up from my seat. WHAT!? I gape at him. "What the hell!?" I splutter with a fierce blush.

…What the hell did he just say?!

Long, elegant fingers (which I sometimes envy because they're so nice) raise my chin to look him in the eyes with surprising gentleness. His blue eyes tell me he's… amused!? "I don't talk to people who can't look me in the eyes." He drawls sexily; and I blush at the proximity of his face. "And you look cute when you blush." He trails baby kisses over my face. "I still can't believe you're going all the way to get back at me like that… But ore-sama should have seen that coming because you are friends with the three tensais and the trickster anyway."

I hum contentedly at his kisses. Damn, that feels good! "Does it work, anyway?" I smirk at him. "I bet you were jealous." I say in a sing-song voice and tap his nose.

Keigo hums and pulls me against him. "If you mean over the fact that you get all chummy with Oshitari, then yes, I did." He smirks. "I think you need to be punished after some convincing about my honesty."

I roll my eyes at him. Typical Keigo and his ego. "Whatever," I say in a bored voice.

He tilts my chin up so he can look me in the eyes. "Be awed by my prowess, my Kasumi."

…And with that he crushes my lips with his.

ARGH!!! If I've not known Keigo since High School, I wouldn't believe that he was called 'Ice Emperor'!

…His kiss sure could melt the Arctic Ice! BURN BABY BURN!

My thoughts are interrupted as soon as he pulls back and smirks at me. "Did ore-sama manage to convince his fiancée?" He whispers against my ear.

I shiver delightfully and give him a playful smile. "I think I'll need a little bit more convincing…" I smirk and pull him down by his tie. Then I kiss him.

'Ore-sama no bigi ni yoi na', indeed! Hell YEAH!

Somewhere outside the apartment…

"…Are they still kissing?"

"…Unfortunately, yes."

"URGH! I don't care anymore! I'm not going to stand here and watch Nee-san and Atobe kissing! It's just… EWW!" Gurgle, gurgle. "…He didn't just touch her ass, right?"

"…Kirihara, Nee-san is Atobe's fiancée. It's fine for him to dothat to her, you dumbass."

"I don't care! Just… Somebody separate them, please?"

"…I think I'll pass, Kasumi-hime is a reincarnation of psychotic murderer when she's pissed."

"Oshitari-san!"

"You still haven't seen Kasumi back in Osaka, haven't you, Yuushi? She got Gin-san scarred for the rest of his life… I think he took her meat without knowing or something…" Shiver. "I don't want a rerun of that."

"But Nee-san-!"

"Well, look on the bright side, Kirihara. We get to torture Atobe since we're going to be his in-laws, literally speaking; with Nee-san marrying him and such."

A pause. "You're right, Zaizen." Cackle, cackle. "It'll totally crush him. Tell me what you've got in your mind."

"Well… I was thinking…"

This is a VERY long one-shot!

I love the last part… Hehehe… Poor observers; Kasumi totally forgot them! But then…It's Atobe who should watch out for what is to come…

I'm sure you guys can guess who said what in the last part anyway! XD

It's quite tiring to write this one, actually… I spent ages on it trying to figure out which character to put in this shot!

Oh well, done and out of my way for now… For Atobe and Kasumi!

Next one up will be Shiraiishi and Kasumi! BANSAI! I LOVE SHITENHOUJI!

Name me your request, all right? XD

Till next time! XD
