"A-a-ano…um…Rein-kun, y-yesterday, a-ano, your okaa-san drop this." She gave the handkerchief to Rein. 'Yey, Rein-kun will thank me.' But instead of thank you, she received a very dangerous glare from him. He grabbed the handkerchief from her hand. She was taken aback with his glare and quickly went to her seat. 'Well, Rein-kun is always like that.'

"Attention class! Our class needed to do a theatrical performance for the upcoming festivals. Sensei said that our class will do the Cinderella Theater. So, who's in?" Kaede the class president told them.

"Who's going to be the prince?" One of them asked.

"If Rein-kun is the prince, then, I, the hottest girl in this school will be the Cinderella." The hottest girl said.

"Who said that I will be the prince?" Rein sudden cool voice asked them. "I never agreed to be the prince. Didn't I?"

"What? Why you don't want to be the prince? But it is okay if you don't want to. I can't force you." Rein just smirk but all the girl in the class was disappointed.

"Then, I won't be the Cinderella. I just want to stay by his side." Akumi, the hottest girl said and hugged Rein well built arm. 'Who don't want to be by Rein-kun side, right?' Hikaru thought.

"Then, who's going to be the Cinderella?" Everyone in the class shook their head in unison except for Hikaru who was busy looking at the window. "Hikaru?" The class president asked.

"Huh? Hai?" The next thing she knew, everyone agreed that she will be the Cinderella. And the prince was the scary nerd. She has no choice but to agree. Then the practice started. After school, she will stay at school and practicing with her classmates. Everyone said that she can't act but then why they choose her to be the main character…right? As for Rein, he just work for the backstage crew.

"A-ano…Kaede-san is I doing well?" She asked and hopefully she will say yes but the class president just sigh. "I'm sorry if I disappoint you. I promise that I will do the very best I can during the performance."

"Well, that's good. I hope that too."

Xoxoxox

"Are you ready, Akimoto-san?"

"H-hai. I hope so." She sneaked from behind the curtain that separates her and the audience. 'Wow, so many audiences.' Her hand was shaking and cold, her heart was thumping loudly and she was very, very nervous. "I just hope that I can do my best." She said to herself. Then she felt a cold hand touched her arm. She turned around and saw Sakuno was smiling at her. She clasped her hand with her.

"I heard that you are the one who be the Cinderella. I know that you are nervous but believe me that you can do it and…oh you look beautiful."

"Arigatou obaa-san. You really help me. Can I hug you? My okaa-san never hugs me." She asked politely. Then, she hugged her tightly.

Xoxoxo

"Okaa-chan, is that Nee-chan friend?" The sweet little Sakura asked.

"Hai. She's pretty isn't it?"

"Hai"

Xoxoxo

At the backstage…

"WHERE IS THE PRINCE? FIND HIM QUICKLY!"

"We don't know. Ask someone else to be the prince but whom?" But suddenly everyone turned their head to the lad at the corner of the room who was sitting with his leg cross and his hand behind his head. He raised a brow. "What?" He said coolly.

"Now Rein, as the class president, I demand you to be the prince."

"Yadda, yadda, yadda."

"NOW!" Kaede was shouting at him angrily and he had no choice but to do it.

"Hmph…fine." He went to the changing room and wore the prince outfit. It was really suit him. Every girl fainted in happiness when they saw their lovely Rein was in Prince Outfit.

Xoxoxox

"AHH! THE PRINCE WAS REIN! KYAHHH!" The entire girl started scream hysterically when they saw Rein at the stage. Then, the Cinderella seem to be very shock when she him and she started to forget her sentences. She started to stuttering and blushing madly.

"Would you like to dance with me, my lady?" He asked politely and the girl started to scream wildly.

"A-a-ano…I-I-I..umm…I-I l-like to d-d-dance with y-y-you, m-m-my p-p-prince." 'Ahhhhhh….I forgot my script! What should I do?' Her inner self shouted. Then she felt that her feet walk by itself toward him and he slowly hold her cold hand. Her heart was beating loudly and she can felt his rough hand against her. His left hand went to her waist while his right hand held her hand. Then they started to dance swiftly when they heard Every Heart by Boa. She noticed that he was looking at her and he was leaning toward her. "A-a-ano, Rein-kun what are you doing?" She whispered nervously at him.

"You look beautiful, Hikaru." He whisper seductively at her and smirking handsomely at her.

"H-huh? What are you saying about, Echizen-san? You hate me, right? Are you trying to make fun of me?" Hikaru said in a loud voice and pushed him aside and ran away with teary eyes. But she fell accidently and her nose was bleeding and she felt her head was spinning around. Then, the prince, Rein went to her and gave her the handkerchief.

"You can't run away from me, my Princess. You always be mine." He lifted her in bridal style and he did something that she wasn't expected. She felt her lips were touching with his softly. He kissed her. He kissed her. He kissed her. HE KISSED HER! But then she knew that it was wrong for him to kissed her and slap him hardly and his cheek.

"You hated me, don't you? Don't you dare to kiss me again!" She ran away from the hall and cried. The audience was shocked but Rein was still calm. He pulled his hand and looked at her directly.

"I know that you will say that. That's why I'm here to apologize. And I'm sorry. I'm sorry for hating you." he said to her. She couldn't believe her ear that he was apologizing to her. She stared at him like he was a human that turn into a terrifying monster.

"Nani? You want me to cry in front of you?" Rein asked annoyingly. 'Sometimes girl can be very annoying…right?' he stepped slowly toward her but every step he takes, she will step back and this made him very hot. He grabbed her hand and kissed her at her mouth. He doesn't even care if his beloved okaa-san or his perverted otou-san saw this because he really can't take it anymore. He just wanted the ugly Hikaru forgive him.

For Hikaru, it was the happiest moment in her life. The prince of the school kissed her but she also knew that she wasn't in the mood right now. For the first time, Sakuno saw her 16 years old son kissing a girl in front of her, in front everybody. Her mouth was hanging open but Ryoma, in the other hand, was smirking.

"Okaa-chan, what is nee-chan doing?" The innocent Sakura asked her now surprised mother. With Sakura's sudden questions, she quickly covered her daughter eyes. "Okaa-chan! I can't see."

"Shh… Sakura, don't look. Your nee-chan is a baka." Sakuno was really, really surprise that her cool, hot-tempered son had guts to kiss the girl that he hate in front of audience. She looked at Ryoma and she saw that he was smirking…proudly. 'Good work, Rein. You make me proud.' Ryoma thought haughtily. 'Rein, you just like your father.' Sakuno hit Ryoma's hand and glared at him.

"Don't be so proud, Ryoma. He is just sixteen for heaven sake. Sigh… his attitude just like yours."

"Of course, Like father like son. He is just cool, romantic, genius and hot…like me." He winked at his wife.

"Pfft, romantic? Are you kidding me? You're not romantic and you are dense. Very, very dense. How could you say that you're a romantic but the truth is you are the densest person I had ever met in my life? You never knew that I like you since 12 and you also never knew that I started to fell in love with you since we met at the Emerald Hotel Restaurant although I tried to forget about you." She took a deep breath and look at him. At first, he was looking serious but then, the seriousness turned into a perverted smile. Then, she realized that she had told him everything. She quickly looked somewhere else but her cheek was red in embarrassment and she started walked off. Ryoma noticed this, and pulled her hand softly and kissed her softly. "I'm sorry if I haven't notice you since the first time we met. I love you." He kissed her again.

"Ergh, stop it okaa-san, otou-san. Everyone was looking at you and Rein. You make us shame." Saeki, the most polite son said to them with annoying tone.

"Huh?" They saw that everyone was looking at them including Rein and Hikaru. "G-Gomenasai." Sakuno apologized.

"Ehh? Are you Echizen Ryoma and Echizen Sakuno?" someone asked.

"H-hai? Doushite? Is there anything's wrong?"

"I'm big fan of yours! Please take a picture with me." Then everyone started to run towards them.

"Sigh… so troublesome." Saeki, Sasuke and Ren said in unison.

Xoxoxoxox

"A-ano, Rein-kun, um… are we going to finish this theater?"

"Huh? Oh… this theater is already finished." He said boringly.

"A-ano…was you serious about the thing that you had said, Rein-kun?"

"No. I was just kidding. Don't be so happy about that. I've just kiss you to make this theater be more umm…interesting? And you were doing it very well." He said then leaves the now shocking girl at the back.

"Ohh…how could I be so dense about that? I'm so stupid." She said quietly but she knows that she was really in the deepest mood and she doesn't feel very well. Her eyes started to watered. 'Why I'm so stupid! Rein-kun just acted for the theater but why he's doing like that? He made me believe that he really do apologized to me but then he said that he just said it like it was the part of the script. Sigh…I must know that everyone doesn't like me.'

She walked off from the stage and decided to go back to her house because now she doesn't feel really well. When she reached her home, she started to cry loudly.

Why can't she know that he is just playing with her feeling?

Why can't he know that she like him more than a friend?

Why he can't understand her feeling?

She knows that she's ugly but she also a human, right? She also a woman that have a feeling of loved. And the most important thing is

WHY CAN HE BE SO DENSE?

She cried all night and she also doesn't notice that she already fell asleep at her house couch. She woke up and quickly gets dressed in her school uniform. She reached at the school gate and saw the guy that made her heartbreak and decided to ignore him.

"Yo!" Someone greeted her. 'Could it be- No, it couldn't be.' She turned around and saw Saeki and Sasuke walk toward her.

"Umm…ohayo Echizen-san." She bows politely.

"Eh? No need to bow to us. We are younger than you and we just want to say that you are doing great yesterday. And where have you been after the theater? Our okaa-san looked for you around the school just to congrats to you and she want to invite you to our house for dinner but you are nowhere to be found." Saeki said.

"I'm sorry. I'm so tired after the school theater yesterday. So, I decided to went back home. I'm so sorry." She apologized.

"It's okay. And by the way, can we meet after the school at the lake?" Sasuke asked.

"Huh? Oh sure."

"Okay then. Jaa." The twins vanished from her view but then she just remembered that she was late for school.

Xoxoxoxoxoxo

During the recess, she just sat at her place and ate her bentou. In inside, she was very happy that everyone in the school said that she was great although some of them was jealous just because she get a kiss from the school prince.

After school, she went to the lake near the school and wait for the twins. She waited patiently until they came.

"So, what are going to talk about, Echizen-san?"

"Just call me Sasuke and Saeki. No need to be so formal. Just consider us as your little brother."

"O-o-okay. So, what are going to talk about, Sasuke, Saeki?"

They took a deep breath, and for a moment, there was an uncomfortable silence between them. Their tired face changed to serious.

"Akimoto-senpai, we know everything that Rein had said to you yesterday." Hikaru froze.

"Ho-honto?"

"Look, we know that Rein was hurting you. That's why we came here to apologize to you for had he done to you."

"Ehh? You don't need to apologize. He-he just said that he was following the script."

"Don't lie senpai. Before that, he had done something terrible to you right?" they whispered dangerously to her.

"Ehh? What are you talking about? He doesn't do anything to me. Trust me."

"Akimoto-senpai, we know Rein. He is our brother. When he hated something or someone, he will never leave the person in peace. He will make them suffered including hurting a girls feeling." Hikaru just shut her mouth and her eyes were teary.

"So, that's mean that he hated me very much, didn't he?" Hikaru said softly, and found out that her shoes was interesting to look at.

"So that's why, senpai, I want you to forgive him. He's just too dense to notice your feeling toward him." Sasuke said matter-of-factly.

"What? My feeling towards him? What are you saying about?" her face was red like a tomato. Saeki and Sasuke smiled at her.

"Just say that you like him. We will not tell anybody." They looked at her, grinning. "You like him, don't you?"

"Iie…"

"Awww…please… we will tell you Rein secret."

"What secret?"

"Tell us first about your feeling toward him."

"Iie."

"Fine then." They started to walked off. 'Argh! I really want to know what is Rein secret but they will know my true feeling toward him but…Argh!'

"Chotto matte." They look at her and grinning evilly toward her. 'They are blackmailing me.'

"Fine. I like him. There, you get what you want. Happy?"

"Umm…no. Not yet."

"What?" Hikaru was furious. How dare them playing with her.

"Fine. Just kidding. Rein secret is…he like pretty ladies with big breast and long sexy leg like supermodel and he really like to play with a Barbie doll." Sasuke said while laughing.

'Pretty lady with big breast and long sexy legs. She still could believe that but Rein? Barbie? She definitely can't believe that.'

"HAHAHAHAHAHHA! Sorry. The last thing was a lied. But the pretty lady was true. He really likes them although he doesn't admit it." Saeki said and laugh again.

"Well, who doesn't like pretty lady right?" She said in very sad tone. The both of them stopped laughing when they heard her voice. Sasuke and Saeki knew that she was very sad because of her physical appearance.

"A-ano, Akimoto-senpai, we're sorry."

"No, it's okay." She smiled sweetly at them. "Well, I'm ugly. That's why he doesn't like me." Then, there was menthol popped out of their head. They quickly dragged Hikaru to the saloon and asked for the hairdresser to make her look like a pretty lady.

"AH! Saeki! Sasuke! You don't have to do this-ittai! My hair!" She shouted. The twins just smiled evilly and called Rein to come at the saloon. They just can't wait to see what Rein's reaction will be if he saw the ugly Hikaru turned in to a pretty and matured lady.

xoxoxoxoxox

"That stupid twins. Why do I have to come to the saloon? Are they tried to do something stupid again?" Rein growled angrily. After minutes, he was at the front of saloon that Sasuke said. He dialed Sasuke's number and he gets nothing. Then he heard a sweet female voice from the side of the saloon.

"Saeki! Sasuke! Where are you going? Please don't live me like this." 'Well, that's weird. How can this pretty lady know Sasuke and Saeki?'

"A-ano, excused me? Have you see- Rein-kun?" 'Huh? She knows me too?'

"How do you know my name?"

"What? Oh…A-a-ano. I-I remembered that name somewhere. Sorry." Hikaru decided to not to talk with Rein and quickly get back to her home. But then, the lad grabbed her hand roughly and looked at her from head to toe. He observed her silently then it hit him. It was the ugly Hikaru. The girl he hated the most. He looked at her again and he noticed that her hair was straights; she wore a light make up and the pink lips that made him wants to kiss her again. Well, tonight she looks stunningly beautiful. He just can take his eyes off her. He slowly held her soft hand and look at her in the eyes. He took off her glasses and leaning slowly toward her lips to kiss her but…

"The entire thing that Saeki and Sasuke said was true." She was looking down at her feet.

"Huh?"

"Saeki and Sasuke said that you like pretty lady." She stared at her feet again.

"Rein-kun, I know that you really hate me. So, that's why your brother helps me to make me look pretty in order to make you notice me. Rein-kun…I-I-I li-like y-y-" her words was cut off by his sudden action. He kissed her softly and apologized to her.

"I'm sorry. I know that you like me since three years ago."

"EH? Then, why you always treated me like that and how come you know that I like you?"

"The first thing is, you always looking at me during the class and second, you always tried to talk to me but you afraid. And the reason why I always treated you likes that because I want to see how can you hold up with my attitude. Sorry." He hugged her and they stayed like that for a minute. They heard a clicking sound and saw that the twin was capturing their picture.

"AWWWWW, SO CUTE!" Sasuke said mockingly.

"SASUKE! SAEKI!" Rein shouted loudly and chase them.
