A Tale of a Princess

"Royalty"

[The Day After The Party]

Everybody went to school as they normally would. They hang-out during breaks to talk about anything new. "Ne, Michiru-chan, let's hang out later today." Zange asked his little sister. "We're going shopping so come with us." Said his twin brother. Michiru nodded and everybody continued their classes. After school, her brothers approached her and they all headed to the mall. 

After about twenty minutes, two girls approached the three of them. "C-can we take a p-picture with the three of you..?" One of the girls asked, stuttering with her words. Her friend stood beside her holding the camera in her hands. After taking several pictures of them they thanked the three and headed off to a different directions.

While the two girls were walking they begun whispering about them. "I really was them! The Mukuro Twins from the "Royalty" magazine from France!" One of them shouted. "I know right?! Who was the girl though? She looked really pretty!!" Said the girl's friend.

The two brothers sighed and another person made his way to them. He asked them a peculiar question. "I am Kairi Hayama, a modelling scout from one of the most famous publishers here. Would you like to work as models?" He asked as he handed them a business card of his.

They all headed to a cafe and sat on one of the seats provided on the second floor. "I am searching for possible models to work on the next issue of "Royale" the sister company of "Royalty" in France. Are you interested?" He stated. "We will call you when we have made a decision." Zange replied him.

With that, Kairi stood up from his seat and payed the cashier for all of their orders. "What do you think about this, Zange?" Natsume asked his older twin brother who shrugged at his question. "I'm not so sure about it. He might be lying, but, what do you think Michiru-chan?" He asked his only sister. "I would want to accept it. I wanna see the both of you working as a model and it might be a good experience for me." She explained then sipped onto her chocolate drink. "Natsume. Do a background check on him later. And, Michiru. Don't tell anyone of our friends this. Okay?" Zange asked her. she nodded and they all quickly finished their drinks and went on to shop.

The next day, Natsume and his brother took a leave from school and Michiru was with the student council. Her phone rang and she answered it. "Hello?" She asked through the device. "Ah, Michiru-chan. We have finished checking his background. He was telling us the truth. So, what do you want to do?" He asked though his own phone. "I want to work together with both of you." She stated. Zange smirked over the phone "Very well then. Natsume, give him a call." They both ended the call.

Michiru was about to go back to the student council when she bumped into one of her friends. "What were you talking about, Michiru-chan?" He asked. The girl locked eyes with him. Blue eyes that met her purple ones. 'I-I forgot that Rio-kun knows the language!!!' She thought to herself. "Rio-kun...It was just my brothers." She said. She walked away. 

'I should buy a gift for Shirro-kun... October 10th is his birthday and its tomorrow...Thanks to Minami-chan telling me...' She thought to herself. She went to the mall and bought a gift for her friend. She opened her phone to see that Natsume has e-mailed her the details.

To: Michiru

From: Natsu-nii

Subject: Kairi

                               We'll be meeting on the day after tomorrow. 10:00am at the cafe we went to. Zange and me will be going first. We have some business before meeting up with him.

Was what the mail contained. After school, they met up outside the school gates and headed to the park in their school uniforms. Michiru handed Shirro's gift to him. He opened the box to find a new, wireless headset that was color white that had red lings and a few pink linings. The headset reminded him of his siblings. He placed it around his neck and began to drag Michiru to some arcades, stalls and anything he could find interesting.

They were both having fun until they heard a sound of something falling to the floor. They turned around to see Kawai standing there with his eyes wide. "Why...? Why are you together?!" He shouted. "K-Kawai...I-It's not what you think! She was accompanying me for my birthday..." Shirro stuttered. Michiru reached out her hand to the trembling Kawai. As her hand neared him, he slapped her hand away. He quickly picked up his bag an ran away. 

The two sat on a nearby bench. "Kawai...hates me. He thinks that I stole everything from him..." Shirro said, sighing, he forced a smile to Michiru. "But...you didn't do anything, did you..?" She asked. He shook his head and stood up from his seat. "Thanks Michi-chan...I'm going home for today..." With that, he left her seating there staring at the sky.

One thought was in her mind...'Did he just call me "Michi-chan"?' She stood up as well and made her way home. 

The next day, she woke up with none of her brothers in the house. She fixed herself and headed to the cafe after saying goodbye to her mother.
