Hikaru's POV

The matsuri is today and the atmosphere in the mansion is getting lighter. The maids in the mansion haven't been chasing me around all day because they were busy hooking themselves with a date with someone from the sato. Seems like most of them left this to the last minute… In fact, some of the servants of the family had already sneaked off, enjoying themselves. The Kazegakes are not very concerned with this, since I am sure that this happened every time when a festival came around.

The preparation for our job was going smoothly. Of course it was going smoothly. I mean, how can it not be going smoothly if the only thing I have to do is to dress in the cloth that I came here with and pack a few ningus into the handbag that I am carrying!? I have not seen Itachi around ever since he discussed the plan to me. He was always busy doing his portion of work, which I, as the same back in the hideout, had no idea what it was.

Knock, knock. There was two gentle taps on my door.

"Come in!" I called out to the person.

"Just wants to have a chat before I leave," the door open, and there stood Norie, in her best dress that I have ever saw her wear. It was a red kimono with maple leaf on the bottom right corner and at each end of the sleeve. "Heard that you are going to the matsuri with Hikari-sama," there was a sound of jealousy in her voice.

"Yeah…" I answered, setting up in my bed, which was occupied a second ago by me thinking about the worst that could happen.

"I know I shouldn't be saying this to you since you're his sister but… YOU ARE SO LUCKY TO GO OUT WITH HIM! I'M SO JEALOUS! Oh yeah, by the way, that's from all of the maids here."

I sweatdropped. Only if they knew the truth… Errr… I dare not think what could befall on me. They'll murder me… They'll slaughter me… They'll massacre me… At the thought of this, I gave a colder shiver.

"Are you okay?" Norie asked, completely unware of my thoughts.

"Yeah. I'm okay. Just a bit… cold," I lied, for if I didn't, my biggest fear would sure come true.

"Better take care of yourself. We don't want you to miss tonight…" I blinked. Since when did the maids want me to got close to Itachi? I thought they would be partying at the news of me unable to go… "…Because we are intended to hear the report that you will be giving us when you come back." Oh, so that's the whole idea behind it.

"Reports? What are you talking about?" I pretended that I didn't figure it out, incase that I could be slipped off.

"And I thought you were smart!" Well, I am. Just playing dumb, so I might sneak off. "Well, you are going to give a little presentation on how it went through the evening so that we might catch something interesting or important. Oh, my! Look at the time! It's 4:55 and I said I am meeting Kouchi in the square by five! I better hurry! Well, hope to see you two tonight and I can't wait to hear the report from you! Bye!" She waved happily and ran out of the door, nearly bumping into Itachi who was just about to knock on the door. He almost hit her on the forehead.

"What was she doing here?" Itachi closed the door behind him and locked it, just incase someone burst into the room.

"What else is there that the maids here that want to talk to me about?" I asked him back.

"The usual conversation. I see," then he went on reminding me of the plan.

The plan was this: We pretend to enjoy the matsuri until seven, and then sneak back to the mansion when everyone else is concentrated on the concert. Get the makimono from the hidden passage in the back of the portrait of the first Kazegake in the main hall. According to one of the maids, simply turn the portrait to the left and the passage is revealed, which was true. After stealing the makimono, sneak back to the matsuri and pretend to enjoy it once more. If the missing of the makimono was discovered before eleven, the time to leave the sato while blending into the rest of visitors, then we'll just use the plan that Saruto came up with, which I had no idea what it was and Itachi won't tell me. But he told me he would only use it in desperate situations, to clear the suspecting on us for a while and leave with the rest of the visitor just like the original plan.

"It's for your benefit that you know nothing of it," that's what he always tells me when I bring the subject up.

The old grandfather clock downstairs struck five times, indicating that it was five. Itachi gestured me to stand up and said, "I think we should get going. Get your stuff, we're not coming back here."

"I know," grabbing the handbag from the end of my bed, "what about your stuff?"

"All here," point to a pock behind him, which seemed to be a little stuff.

"Wow… How much stuff did you actually put in there? By the looks of it, I don't even think it could be a shuriken that's inside of it."

"I'll tell you on the way."

"Can you try at least to act we are siblings?" Itachi whispered to my ears. He was holding me tightly by the shoulders, even thought I struggled to get away from his grip.

"How can I act to have a sibling like you? If you haven't noticed, most of females that went past us were giggling at us! I don't want them to think that I am your girlfriend or something!" I yelled back as quietly as possibly, but I was sure some people heard me because they turned back and was looking at us in questionable eyesight.

"Troublesome… If you are not going to take any action, then I will," Itachi said, still in low voices.

"Oh yeah! Like what?"

"Oh, you'll see…" Oh no… That's not a good sign…

"Hey, oyaji! Mind if I try the game?" Itachi suddenly raised his voice and walked toward a ball shooting game stall.

"Sure thing, nii-san!"

At the owner's response, Itachi handed him 100ryo. After receiving the money, the shop owner gave Itachi a rubber ball for him to aim at the stocked up empty bottles. Poor old man… Only if he knows Itachi's a genius… There's no way that he can miss…

My prediction was right for once. Itachi hit the pile of bottles without even moving any part of his body except his hand. The game was way too easy for him. Of course… It would be way too easy even for a student from the Academy!

After the successfulness, there was an unexpected amount of applause. I looked around. Since when did this much people was around me? I didn't even notice it!

Then, I suddenly realized. Most of the crowd was women! There were some that had a date, but most of them were young women that came out to enjoy the matsuri with their friends. Itachi… Do you have to attract girls in this kind of situations too?! Wasn't it your saying that we should not attract too much attentions!?

"Nii-san, that was perfect! Are you a professional pitcher or something?" The shop owner joked. "Now, what do you want for the prize?"

"Hmm… What about that hamster there?" Itachi pointed to a book-sized hamster hanging on the ceiling.

"That one? Please wait… … … Here you go! Are you going to give it to your girlfriend over there aren't you!" The shop owner was a jester. A very sick-minded jester. To me he is…

"Actually, she's my sister…"

"Sister? You don't look like each other very much… Well, have fun at the matsuri anyways!"

He walked back to me and putted the stuffed animal in my arm.

"Here's your hamster that you wanted," Itachi place his hand back to where is was before and pushed me to walk forward.

The atmosphere around me got denser. It was like the atmosphere back in the hideout when Itachi was getting breakfast around me. I knew what this meant. The women that were crowding around the game stall were now sending me deadly glares of jealousy. Does it have to be like this everywhere I go, where Itachi's around?

"Hey! I didn't ask for the doll!" I whispered to Itachi, keeping my voice as low as I can because I knew if people heard our conversation, they would sure raise suspicion.

"It would look suspicious if we went back empty-handed," raising his voice again, "do you want some taiyaki?"

"I am not hungry right now." Even thought how much I wanted to yell at his face, I kept my voice calm like there wasn't the conversation about the dull.

"And how am I supposed to steal the makimono carrying this?" I kept on questioning Itachi.

"Just hide on a tree or something so that the dogs won't find it."

"And am I supposed to carry this all the way back to the hideout?"

"I am expecting you to… After all, I did went through the trouble of getting it, and you could use it for a decoration for your dull room…"

"And how am I suppose to deal with Risu and them when I get back?" The possibility sent me a shiver down the spine. Owww… This is going to be a nightmare…

"That's for you to think. I can't help you with that. Now could you just ask me for something so it doesn't look like I am begging for you to come?" Well, you were the one who started this didn't you?

I signed. "Am I supposed to call you Itachi or Hikari?"

"Don't really matter here. People won't notice it even if you were using my real name here. They are enjoying the matsuri themselves."

"Fine…" I closed my eye. I tried to imagine the scene where I was enjoying the matsuri with my real brother. I wonder what I'll ask from him. But, that was just impossible. For one thing, Hikari won't be placing his hand on my shoulder and maneuver me.

"Would you let go of me?" I said with some annoyance. Hearing my request, Itachi smirked a little and removed his hand. Much better…

"Nee Itachi? Do you mind get me one of those snake pillows?" I pointed toward another game stall after several minutes of picturing-the-scene-with-Hikari-instead-of-Itachi.

"Sure…"

With effortless try, Itachi came back with the pillow in his hand. "Why do you want this anyways?"

"The pillow back in the hideout is too hard, so I was looking for a new one ever since we came here. Besides, I can use it as a cushion," I answered while hanging the snake around my neck.

"Do you want something to eat?" He's getting too thoughtful. He really should enter a Drama Club!

"Is it okay if I have some yakisoba?" This is going to be a loooooooooong night… This is way harder and annoyer than I thought it would be…
