"Help! he... help.. hel..." His voice struggle to form a word as the water entered his mouth. He hoping for air but the water keeps on filling his lung. Slowly he can feel his legs and hands become heavier, dragging him down slowly to the bottom. He can't hear anything, not even his voice. The more he tried to gasp for air the more pain the last ounce of energy he had he put on his arms tried to grab anything. He is not ready to die today. Not yet
"Please, somebody.. please help me…" The sun become smaller and smaller and darkness wrapped around him while the body gradually reached the bottom of the lake. People said when we were on the verge of death every moment in our life flash in front of us but he only saw nothing except the resentment. He doesn't realize there is so much time he wasted all this year and the most important part, he never has fallen in love with anybody!
'Angel?'
The so-called angel approached him and pull his body closer to her and flew towards the light and for an unknown reason, he doesn't scare anymore as calm as a toad in the sun. Finally, he can rest. So he thought.
"Sir! Sir!"
No response. This is bad.
'Should I do mouth to mouth resuscitation, shouldn't I? Oh, my god! I don't want to! Is it count as a kiss? but I never kiss anyone! But this is life! I need to save him right? Right?' she continues monologue with herself within this millisecond.
'Arghh! Damn it!' she cursed, then immediately turn his head to the side to drain all the water in his mouth and nose. Then, she turns it back to the centre. After that, she pinches his nose and strongly breathes into his mouth. Then she put her ear near the mouth and she watched the chest to detect any breathing movement. She repeats the process a few times then finally she sees him coughing out the water as he tries to breathe.
'Thank god! He's fine now.' As she calmed down, her eyes explore the creature in front of her. The wet black hair to the perfect shape jawline and nose with long eyelashes that slowly open, exposing deep black eyes, as captivating as she couldn't help hearing her own heart tried to jump out from her chest! When she saw pale red lips trying to open to say something, she blushed remembering the mouth to mouth resuscitation she did just now.
'Wow! This couldn't possibly be human. This is an angel!' she thought.
"Ando.... Ando..." A soft mumbling sound comes from him. She tried to put her ear near the mouth to hear what he tried to say but suddenly she was pushed to the side!
"Young Master! Young Master! Are you okay?" he panicked after he saw his young master lying down on the ground. He is drowning! 'How could this happen? Where are the others?' The flash of anger appeared in his eyes.
"Sachihiro! Natsuo! Where are both of you earlier? Take young master to the hospital now!" he looked at the woman he pushed earlier after he made sure his two subordinates brought Touma to the car.
"I'm sorry I pushed you just now, Young Miss. thank you for saving him. May I know your name?" he pulls his card to her.
"Ando Oshiro.... hmm... nice name. Call me Kahina. May I know your Young Master's name?" Yes! She is being direct. She needs his name and that man will be hers.
"It wasn't necessary, for Miss Kahina. I'll be going now. Please contact me for your compensation and thank you again for saving my young master." Without waiting for her reply, he quickly leaves for the hospital. He is worried sick about Young Master. He may seem rude to his young master's saviour, but he knew his Young Master like to remain unknown to the world. 'I'm sorry, Miss...'
'Rude huh.... but I like it. Very protective. Good job.' She felt proud unnecessarily as he thought subordinate loyal to her future husband. ~ahh... Future husband. It sounds sweet to her. He will be mine!
"Ken! I'm cold…" As she said that, a young man took off his black suit and immediately put it on her. She walks towards the car with a huge smile.
"Ken takes this card and find out about that man's young master. I want to know everything about him. Every single detail." she says playfully.
"Yes, young mistress!" even though she said it playfully he knows she wants it done thoroughly. If anybody saw her act, nobody would believe how wicked and manipulative his young mistress is. She seems sweet on the outside but deep inside she is so fierce. Ken remembered before someone tried to swindle his young mistress by selling her a goose feather pillow, but upon arrival, it was a duck feather pillow. He remembers how she smiles wickedly as she asked him to find out about the seller. After that, the seller was coma in the hospital bed for a month and his family are forced to work at a pillow factory with a minimum salary and in debt with a large sum of money as compensation for her neck pain caused by sleeping using that pillow. He cannot compare his young mistress black belly to anyone. Even Master is more forgiving than her. Now she found a new target to play with, that man's future seems as dark as a black hole.

Hinode Residence
"Father! Mother! Welcome home!" she greeted her parents with the most beautiful smile she could ever have. Her ecstatic behaviour makes them squint suspiciously.
"You look thrilled. Anything interesting happen? I saw you smile by yourself while feeding fish in the courtyard. Very creepy" Kaede teased her sister.
"Kaede! I saw her smiling at our father's samurai statue at the front door while she caressed its face. Scary right?" add Keito the second brother.
"Are you in love, Princess?" Finally, her mother question struck her like lightning. Not only her but three other men in front of her too. Their teasing smiles suddenly disappear from their face and replace by serious faces.
After a few moments of awkward silence, she clears her throat and put a brave face as she realises about her overprotective father and brothers. She wasn't scared easily towards anything but these four people she loves the most; her tiny cute heart needed a little courage to declare her love openly. She knows they will not accept him easily. 'Come on! It is normal for her to fall in love just the one she is falling to is their nemesis. That's all right? Not really a big deal, right?' She tried to convince herself and forced a little hope to encourage her heart.
"Yes, Mother…" she answered softly almost no one can hear her.
"What? I can't hear you!" her brother stern voice killed the little courage she had earlier.
"Yes! I'm in love with someone! And I will marry him. It must be him!" she half yelled startled everyone. For a moment they confuse whether the shock from the yelling or the words that she was saying.
