Done
Chapter 3: MOVE!
Challenges are always there,
You can't avoid it,
Everyday, we experience these kind of things,
It's either you run away from it,
Or learn from it...
Hikari stretched and yawned in front of her window. Unexpectedly, she woke up at 10:30 a.m. where, usually, she wakes up at about 4:00 a.m. or something like that.
'I must've overslept...' she thought and yawned again. Hikari took her towel and took a shower. She changed into her normal clothes and combed her hair. After that, she noticed that her room was in complete mess. So, of course, she cleaned her room. She fixed her bed, put to trash all those scratch papers, the pile of books that mounted on her desk are now nicely packed on her shelf. She was about to leave her room when a stray piece of paper flew by her face. She picked it up and flipped the paper over. There, her eyes went wide. 'Takishima Kei, My rival, My Best Friend' were written on it. She could feel her eyes water as an image of Kei smiling at her, flashed in her mind, but she pushed those tears back.
'NO! NO MORE! STOP IT PLEASE! I can't... I can't...' she was interrupted when her door slid open.
"Oh, Hikari, you're awake" her brother said. "Are you crying?" he asked. Putting a hand on her shoulder made her shiver and dropped the paper. Atsushi saw it and saw Hikari's sad eyes. He knows that she's hurt, he can feel that something great is happening that it can make his beloved sister sad like this. Especially if that guy is involved.
"N-no... nii-san... it's just... it's nothing..." she looked away. Atsushi sighed
"Hikari, I want you to always remember that we are always here for you, I am here for you," he told her with his brotherly instincts taking over. "No matter what happens. So... is there something you want to tell me? Hikari?"
Finally, Hikari looked up at her brother. Seeing those worried eyes of his, she couldn't help but say it. She held her brother tight, and told Atsushi everything. Why she's like that, the things that are happening in the S.A lately, why she's forcing herself to hate HIM, to forget about him, what happened that day, and the sole reason why she did it. Atsushi was shocked speechless, he's angry- no, furious. How in the world would anyone do that to her? How cruel
"Hikari, I understand why you did it but..." Atsushi began "why didn't you tell anyone? Why didn't you tell me? I know that you're a strong fighter, that you can almost do anything, but... you can't fight this alone. When will you learn to Think before you Act."
"But... if-if I didn't do it... y-y-you... ever-everyone... Takishima will..." she sobbed on her brother's chest. Seeking comfort and help.
Atsushi sighed, "He'll understand, WE will understand" he wiped the tears off of her sister's face. "Remember, we are always here for you"
"Arigatou... nii-san..." she smiled sweetly at her brother "I-I'll do my best!"
"That's my little sister" he pecked on top of his sister's head
GRUMBLE...
Hikari blushed red, her stomach just growled! "I guess that... I'm hungry"
Her brother let out a chuckle "Come on"
And both brother and sister went downstairs to eat lunch, skip the breakfast Hikari, it's noon!
~Takishima Group, Tokyo District
Kei Takishima, the son and heir to the Takishima Group, is as usual, working. Stacks, no piles, no mountains of paper lay beside him. He tried to focus on his work but SHE just can't get out of his head. He slumped his head by his chair and tried to rest for a while. He typed once more on his laptop and looked for the folder named 'My Number One'. He clicked it and it appeared a lot, I mean a LOT, of pictures. And those pictures only contain his most precious person. The only girl whom he fell in love with, that made his heart beat, the only girl that can make him smile, make him laugh, make his dark, dull world full of life and happiness. His rival, his best friend, his number one, his love, Hikari Hanazono.
'Oh Hikari...' he sighed as he clicked on one of the pictures and zoomed in her eyes and stared at them. 'Please tell me... what have I done wrong?'

"Uhmm... Excuse me, Sir Takishima-sama" Kei's secretary snapped him out of his thoughts. He held on to a button
"What is it, Yana?" he asked, with a slight irritation in his voice
"T-The President wishes to speak to you" Kei's eyes widened, his grandfather called. The one person who told him that Hikari will never be good enough for him. The last thing that he's gonna do is to even talk to this person
"Alright"
Beep
"Hello Kei" there it is, the voice whom Kei Takishima, despite him being his grandfather, despises the most. "How is everything doing over there?"
"Don't worry president; I'll finish this before sundown"
"Good. By the way, I heard that Hanazono girl hates you now,"
"This is none of your concern president"
"Oh? Why not?"
"Because why would you be interested in this? You were the one who said that Hikari's not good for me"
"Yes, I know. She will never be good for you. And it was a good thing that you haven't told her of your ridiculous feelings for her yet" Kei's fist tightened
"Are you done, president?" his voice is filled with venom
"Yes, I'm afraid so. Goodbye Kei, Oh, and by the way, that girl made a wise decision"
Beeeeeep...
'Wise decision? What does that mean? Could it be that... NO! No way! Hikari, please... be safe' he is now frantic with worry. He knows how evil his grandfather is, how he can use his power to force people to do things. Hikari made a deal with him? Is that the reason? If that's so... then... his beloved's life is at stake. He must make a move and fast!
~Hanazono Home 2:30 p.m.
"I'm going out Mom and Dad! Be right back!" Hikari called out, slipping in her shoes, heading outside
"Be careful Hikari!" her father said
"I will!"
With that, Hikari made her way outside. What she's doing? Where is she gonna go, you ask? Well, lately, it's been her habit to go to the park to meet up a few... people. She carried with her a small bag, who knows what's inside. When she got to the park, she went by at the playground and...
"AH! IT'S HIKARI NEE-CHAN!" a little boy exclaimed
"Hey guys!" Hikari waved her hand
"HIKARI!" and suddenly, a small group of children crashed into her, making her fall on her feet.
"My my, children please get off of Hikari" a woman about in the age of fifty or sixty walked by them. The children obeyed and bowed their heads to Hikari
"It's alright guys" she smiled and got up. Hikari looked over to the woman "Hello Mrs. Kazegawa"
"Hikari, my dear, how good to see you again my child" she greeted her "How are you?"
"I'm fine Mrs. Kazegawa" she smiled. "How about you? Are the kids behaving lately?"
"Well..."
"Of course we are! We have been extremely good Hikari nee-chan!" a little boy with brown hair exclaimed
"EH? You're such a liar Kenta! You stole the cookies from the kitchen yest-" the boy covered the girls mouth
"WAHH! WHY DID YOU SAY IT?" Hikari just let out a chuckle
"Speaking of cookies, here" she took out a box from her bag and opened it
"WOW! Hikari nee-chan's cookies! YAY!" the children cheered. Shocking, isn't it? Well, ever since Hikari met these children, it's like that she got inspired and actually learned how to cook without making a single mess in their kitchen. Which made her mother happy, but unfortunately, she can only do sweets. Hikari and the children sat under a tree
"Oishi! Hikari nee-chan's cookies are the best!" squealed a little girl with black hair, much like hers
"Thank you Mary"
Throughout the day, Hikari played with the children. To her, they are like her little brothers and sisters, or even sons and daughters. You must be wondering how did she met these children huh?
Well, it was a stormy day, she was heading home and she passed by the park. There, under a tree, was a little boy, the tree, barely giving him shelter. He's cold and freezing, he looks at about six or five years old. Concerned, Hikari approached the boy, she took out another umbrella and shielded his head. The boy looked up at her, chocolate brown eyes matching dark blue pools.
"Are you lost?" she knelt down to level his height. The boy just shook his head
"My name is Hikari, what's yours?"
"S-S-Sero...ATCHOO!" the boy sneezed
"Come on, Don't worry, I'm a good person. I won't hurt you" the boy trusted Hikari and he followed her home.
When they reached the Hanazono residence, her parents were surprised, she explained what happened and allowed the boy to stay. They took care and treated the boy, which made him comfortable. He stayed at Hikari's for a day or two until the storm stopped, they returned to the park only to see a group with children, along with an old woman playing at the park. The old woman seems to be looking for something/someone.
"Sero! Sero! Are you here?" she cried out
"Sero! Sero! Sero-kun!" the children followed
Hikari and Sero approached them and to their astonishment, Sero was welcomed with a big hug. The woman can't hold back her tears.
"Oh, Sero, We are so worried about you," the woman turned to Hikari "thank you so much for taking care of Sero"
"No problem, be a good boy okay Sero?" patting the boy's head, she turned away, only feeling a hand tug her shirt
"Please Hikari-chan... be our one-chan" the boy, pleaded. After some time of thinking, well... you get the idea, she agreed and that is when she started being with the kids. By the way, Hikari was in great surprise that these group of kids are only orphans, and that the old woman was the only one to take care of them. That made Hikari want to help them more. Anyway...
It was nearly sun down when Hikari went home. Bidding farewell to the kids, she paced down to the streets, when suddenly, a black car stopped beside her. The doors opened and it was none other than Kei Takishima himself. His face is obviously filled with worry and fear, hard to believe isn't it?
"Hikari..." he started
"Yes?" she said plainly, but she's having a hard time doing it
"C-Can I talk with you?" he looked at her with concerned, sad eyes. "This will only take a second"
"Sure..." Hikari looked down and went inside the car.
