She got out of his bed and went straight to her room.
"Cool sister, thanks mum. I wish you had met her, you would have loved her" he said to the picture of himself and his foster mother on his reading table.
*Downstairs in the Living Room*
Sasuke and Sakiko are sit down in the living room.
"Come on puck up the phone you guys. Where did you run off to!" She said aloud.
"Who are you calling? Wait, your sister?"
"No" he moved closer tsnatching the phone from her hand and looked at her screen. "I know, but you said your sister. It's our sister now" Sakiko corrected.
"I'm sorry okay. She picked" he hands the phone back to Sakiko, but she pushed it back at him.
"Hello?"
"Hello good morning Itsumi" he quickly answered.
"Morning, who am I speaking with please?" She
About an hour later they arrive at Sakiko's house. There were balloons and ribbons with lots of decoration hanging at the front of the house on various colours.Sakiko and Sasuke came down from a silver and black Mazda CX-7 car. The driver opened the boot of the car and Sasuke helped her carry her box out.They looked at each other, confused about the decorations and slowly made their way towards the front porch."Who is having a celebration here?" Sakiko's asked, rhetorically."Or perhaps a birthday! I don't know but they are... ""Celebrating here," she said cutting Sasuke short. "We'll soon find out though," she stopped in her tracks, he turned to look at her, giving her the 'what' look.After a minute she finally spoke, "I can't take any step further Sasuke.""You can Sakiko, you can. I have watched you, every step you take you do it boldly. So trust me, you can do this. I am with you every step of the way, we would tell them toge
"Wanna dance?" Her soft, feminine voice resounded."What!" He turned to face the twins again but his gaze remained on Itsumi."Wanna dance?" She asked again."Umm no. I–I... " without waiting for his reply, Itsumi pushed him to the center of the living room and left him there.He turned to look at her and they had a eye battle. It was more like "I want to leave the dance floor!" and Itsumi replied with her eyes wide open and threatening, "Don't you dare!"Resigning to his fate, Sasuke sighed and made his way to the group of friends. Sakiko saw him approach and took some steps towards him."Dance with me Sasuke."The DJ played a new song. It was an old school jam in the 90's, Honey, Honey, Honey by ABBA."But I... I... there are too many eyes around Sakiko!"
"You just had to tell her didn't you!""Sachi it's okay, anyone can make such mistake. We are not mad at you Noriko." Ayumi flashed her a warm smile."Huh... Duh! Speak for yourself Ayumi, I am mad at her," Sachi added."Same here," Bashira chimed in.Notiko's eyes began to tear at what her friends said."Sachi!" Reina exclaimed."What?!""Let it go girls. What's happened has happened. Let's not dwell on it. Noriko, it's okay. We are not angry alright?" Ayumi assured her again."Easy for you to say, this party pooper wouldn't be here, if not for her," Bashira replied, pointing at Mari.By now they had already ignored Mari and conversed alone. "Excuse me! Even if she hadn't spilled the beans, I would have found out. Did you guys really think you could hide it from me? Haha haha.""You are re
"Yeah and you didn't want to bet right, you were confident in yourself too," Reina spat those words at her friend, well ex-friend."Why shouldn't I be? It's a matter of time. She can't have him." She had a smuggled look on her face as she spoke."You are simply terrible. Baka!!""Whatever, gonna have fun, ciao," Mari said and walked away from them."Whatever, gonna have fun, ciao!" Ayumi mimicked her after she left and they burst out laughing.Mari turned her head to face the noisy bunch, "Hmm, whatever, rubbish bunch," she hissed and made her way somewhere else."Attention everybody!" Mr Ishida called out as he held a glass of juice in his hands.He made his way to the front of the dining table to address everyone. "Thank you for honouring this invitation and I hope everyone is enjoying themselves?""Yes!" everyone shouted."That's better. I have an announcement to make, well more like a question but whichever way it goes," everyone laughed at his funny disposition."Alright, enough d
"Really!!""Yeah," he replied her, but she felt a weight on her head ad he said that."How about My Romantic Prince?" She suddenly asked. Sasuke pondered, "Or My Prince Romantic?" She added."Nahh, My Romantic Prince and My Romantic Princess is better."The both started laughing at their cheesiness."Princess Sakiko, at your service your highness," he gave a mocking bow."Sasuke, come on let's go," Fr. Tanaka yelled."I'm coming Father," he tried to peck her but she evaded his lips just in time and hugged him instead. "You're so stubborn, Sakiko. Bye."He let go of her and ran towards the car waiting for him."Bye Sasuke, I'll miss you and Prince, my regards to him okay!" She yelled after him as he entered the car."Phew!"Her mind went back
The last day of their break, Sasuke went to visit Sakiko. He got into the compound and greeted the Gardner, then made his way to the entrance of the house.When he got to the front door, he rang the doorbell and in a matter of seconds, someone opened the door.He saw a giddy girl before him. She had round eyes, pert pink lips, pointed average size nose, a perfect cheekbone and asymmetrical V- shape faced.She looked just like Sakiko, but the difference was her shorter hair which reached below her breast, her nose, lips, of which hers was more full and her eyes, they were a shade of dark brown.She wore a short pink skirt and a black top with her name written boldly on it."Itsumi," he read out loud."Yup, that me," she smiled and winked at him."Hehe, good morning Itsumi," he greeted her while still standing outside.
"I'm sorry if I had annoyed you Sakiko, please forgive me. I need you to forgive me," he apologized as he went to sit on the bed with her."You can go meet Mari, after all we are siblings Sasuke, so no need feeling all bad. Please go."A tear slid down her face as she made that statement."I can't Sakiko, I don't love her, it's you I... " she cut him shut and shouted at him."Don't you get it?! You cannot love me, Sasuke.""Not her either. She pushes herself on me a lot, I'd rather stay here and beg than go to her party.""It's her birthday and she invited you and not me, so go and meet her and love her alright!" She sat down close to the headboard and rested her back."No Sakiko. How can you tell the person you love, the only person who made you so happy and smile to go? Would you be happy again as when we are together?"
As soon as Sasuke left, Itachi and Itsumi shook their head."Second time he is leaving Sakiko and you're not going to meet him." Itsumi said to her with her hands on her waist."Don't blame anyone but yourself when you are not happy."Immediately Sakiko got up from her bed and ran to meet Sasuke."That worked out well," Itachi said."It took all that for her to open up, ahh! my little sis sure is a babe," Itsumi face palmed herself.Sakiko saw him about to go down the flight of stairs and rushed to grab his hand."I'm sorry, please stay. Don't go, don't leave me please. We only just found each other, do you really want to end it all? Please Sasuke," she apologized."Don't worry, you do not need me, you said so remember?""I only said you should leave me alone, I didn't

CHAPTER 81At the end of the school day, the school's student council and the disciplinary committee couldn't find any useful clue as regarding the accident.Sasuke wasn't surprised and brushed it off. He had already prepared himself for the outcome but Sakiko's parents hadn't and they queried the school.Unfortunately where Sakiko had gotten injured was a blind spot. There were no cameras in that area. The perpetrators were skilled and careful. They planned this whole incident well.When Sasuke was shown the footage, al he saw from when he left Sakiko was a girl putting on a hoodie and brown shade with a tint of black, but from the way she bent her head, one would think it was black shades she wore and she walked away effortlessly.She got to another blind spot and that was the last they saw of her, later when they checked other footages connecting to the same hall, they saw several students passing there.It was truly and carefully planned
CHAPTER 80Back at the hospital, Sakiko filled Sasuke in on all that had transpired and they could both deduce that someone was out to get her."Sasuke, about that text you got earlier," she started, her eyes now on his face, watching to catch any slight change in expression but she didn't get any. Nevertheless, she continued. "Does it have anything to do with this?"His eyes remained fixed on hers, unmoving, not giving away any hint. After some seconds, he closed his eyes and when he opened them again, he stared down at her, his expression, now less cold and now filled with warmth."Nothing for you to worry about, love. It isn't." he lied and he knew from the questioning gaze she gave him, that she could tell he wasn't telling her the whole truth."Hmm, are you sure?"As soon as he opened his mouth to reply to her, the door pushed open. Itachi was standing right in the middle and Itsumi popped her head from underneath her brother's arm.
CHAPTER 79"I waited for you, why did you not come?" Sakiko said, breaking the silence. Her sudden question shocked him. Waited for you…? He was the one waiting for her.He pulled his head back and she did too, so both of them were staring into each other's eyes. "I got a message to meet you outside school, saying the P.E teacher sent for you," Sasuke informed her."What?!"The shock and confusion that appeared on her face next, made his brows knot. Her big round eyes shone with intricate with a glimmer of pain and confusion in them at the same time."Easy there," Sasuke said, his other hand patting her shoulder."No, I never said that," Sakiko started, then she lowered her eyes and almost immediately looked back up. "We agreed to meet by the staircase.""Then why weren't you there, like we agreed?" Sasuke asked, interjecting her sentence."I was coming to that. I received a message sent by you. It was you who told me to
CHAPTER 78"She is," Mr Ishida replied calmly."Then why didn't you say anything about that? Why didn't you call us as promised? Why didn't you inform us when we first arrived? Were you planning on telling us at all?"Itachi rained down his questions at their father. He had said he would call them when she woke up, but now he lied. He didn't do that."You never intended to tell us, right dad?" Itsumi questioned her father. Just like Itachi, she was not happy about the news herself, but then again, she partially understood him.The news was too much for them and that was why he sent them away to calm down and relax, especially because of Sasuke. He wasn't just about to allow them to start racing down here in the car, just because their sister was awake now, was he? No.He knew better. Rather he allowed them to return on their own, safely and calmly. He could afford another accident.His wife was the one who had told him not to as soon
CHAPTER 77Itachi and Itsumi took Sasuke to an eatery and bought him food to eat. They all took their seats in one of the three chairs with a table in the centre for customers to enjoy their meal."Sasuke, try and eat something. You look pale," Itachi said to Sasuke, watching him through his lashes."I do not have an appetite. I am sorry. I cannot eat when he is lying down in a hospital bed.""I know, but you have to try and take something. You heard the doctor, Sakiko would be awake in no time. You know she would be sad seeing you like this," Itsumi added.None of them would even have the appetite right now, knowing full well that their sister was not in a good condition, but amongst all of them, he looked weaker and pale.It wasn't long ago he fell sick and recovered from his ailment, his body wasn't still as strong as theirs and needed better nutrition not him starving himself."I am concerned about many things, Itsumi, Itachi. Tha
CHAPTER 76"I am sorry. I didn't want you to panic and cause your parents to worry so much before you all got here," he explained briefly, hoping they would accept it and not hold a grudge.Mrs Ishida took in a deep breath, her hands moving up and down her thighs as she directed her gaze to her husband, not too sure of what to expect.Noticing his wife's troubled look, he raised his hand up to dismiss the thought Sasuke was having. "No, we do not blame you for anything, son. Although, I would love to know how it all happened.""Well sir, we were to shower and meet each other at the staircase close to the changing room then go out to celebrate her victory for the sporting activities. I later got a message to wait for her outside the school building as our P.E sent for her. I did and by the time the wait was getting too long, I went in search for her, only to find out the P.E teacher never sent for her.""Someone is playing dirty. Who would do that?"
