It's been some time since my grandpa's death. Gouenji returned the next day. My mom insisted that he stay but he wanted to return saying he can't stay at our house for long. I agreed with him since he actually accompanied me and I can't keep him with us for long. That won't be good to him on our part.

On the funeral that Sunday, Gouenji, Kidou, G, Aram, Robert came. That was a surprise for me. I didn't expect them all to come. Of course they all called me after they knew about my grandpa but coming to Boston to attend the funeral, that is something else. Mom and dad were surprised to say the least.

They didn't expect me to have a group of friends based on my character, mostly guys in the group. My dad at first glared at all the guys. When I elbowed him and told him that they are all my 'friends' nothing else then he calmed down.

My cousin's sons and daughters behaved for the most part. They didn't pick a fight with me but they did flirt with my friends. What can I say? Each of them looked like a model. I am also surprised to have a group of such good friends. I think my wish for good friends at least in the last year was granted even though I faced severe bad luck at the start of the year. May be I should consider it good luck since it got me such good friends.

It was difficult for G since she was the only girl so I had to stay by her side or one of the guys, which is mostly Kidou. I don't whether it is just me but Kidou seemed very pissed off when they flirted with her. He finally declared that she was her girlfriend. I detected something between them. I thought this was the chance to tease G since she always teases me about Gouenji though there is nothing between us. But when I asked her about what is going on between them she showed me an uncomfortable, a very unnatural smile and said that there was nothing between them.

But I do think there is something between them, way past crushes and liking but I decided not to probe further since she seemed uncomfortable on that topic. Furthermore I would like her to open up to me rather than me digging deeper. I don't think she would appreciate it. I will give her time. If she wants to share with me as her friend then that is well and good if not I will respect that and let her have her privacy.

Lunch the day I returned was quite interesting. I was a little afraid to return to college since I made such a big scene before leaving for Boston. Surprisingly Aram and Robert showed up at my apartment that day. How they knew my address is beyond me. When I asked them, they just said that they had their own ways. And no they didn't answer me no matter how much I asked them.

Many heads turned when I returned but instead of openly staring they started seeing me discreetly, that is they thought they were discreet but not so discreet. I could see them stealing glances at me, what these people think is discreet is not discreet at all but I think it is better than being stared at openly. Richard told me it is because of Gouenji's warning. Though his threat consisted of little words it contained promise to carry it on. Even I would be afraid to go against him.

^That day afternoon^

"It's so good to have you back." G said hugging me as soon as I approached the table.

"It's good to be back too." I smiled hugging her back. Everyone one else smiled at me but as usual Gouenji glared at me but somehow I found it funny and smiled at him too which increased his glare. I carried his books around that day so I got the message and got his lunch too. My days of mercy are over which he confirmed when I placed his lunch in front of him.

"Don't think you are free from your duties just because of the last few days. You are still my slave and you owe me." My arrogant, know-it-all is back. I nodded at that. Kidou snorted at that.

"Yeah, yeah. Don't act like you don't care. Your cover is blown. We all know that you care about her."

"Please Kidou don't agitate him further. I don't want to test my luck on the first day I returned." I said narrowing my eyes at him. I want my life to be peaceful at least for a while.

"What are you saying when everyone in the world knows about it? You made headlines."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"I meant what I said."

"Kidou, please. I am asking you to elaborate what you said. I don't understand what you meant by the whole world knows about it."

"Don't tell me you don't know about it."

"Why would I be begging you to tell me if I knew?"

"Wait a minute. You never begged me." He opened his cellphone, typed in something and gave it to me. "Here, see for yourself."

I have to say I am shocked. When did they take our photos? More importantly how did they know? If you are wondering what is there, there are photos of me and Gouenji. Gouenji having his arm around me and taking me inside the airport. I didn't realize then but seeing from the photos he almost hugged me and semi-carried in his arms. We seem very close in the photo. I realized photos can be quite deceiving. The others are when he carried me outside the airport outside the airport in his arms to the car.

How could they get these photos? I mean seriously. The photos are of great quality except luckily my face is covered in both the photos. In both the cases Gouenji covered my face and most of my body or else it would have been a great scandal A very big issue. Of course it still is. All the headlines are, 'Who is the secret girl'; 'Forever Bachelor finally dating?'; 'Who captured the prodigy's heart' and what not different titles. I really hope it is not that big of a issue.

"Uh! I believe not many people viewed it."

"Oh! Not many. Just a few billions viewed it. That's it."

"You are kidding right?"

"No, absolute truth."

"Oh shit! At least they don't know about me. I think that's the silver lining here. But how did they managed to get the photos?"

"He has great following."

"But I don't remember seeing any media at our college."

"They were here initially but left with his warning. No one wants to go against Shuuyas."

I think I remember media used to be here for someone. So that is for these people. They have four famous people here. They would have great news.

"So now they don't follow you guys?"

"Only at college." Aram said.

"So that's why they followed him to airport."

"Why would they leave the chance to get a picture of him with a girl? He always kept girls at five meter distance but now he carried a girl in his arms. Who would want to miss that chance? I am going to keep this pictures saved forever."

I looked at Kidou in a funny way. He is exaggerating too much.

"Let's keep that matter aside for now. What is the matter with your cousins?" Robert interrupted.

"Umm.. they are not my cousins. They are my cousins sons and daughters. I am their aunt." I smiled sheepishly.

"What?"

"I am the youngest. I mean my dad's sister is almost 20 years elder to him and my parents had me at an old age so even among my cousins sons and daughters I am the youngest ."

"Oh, that's new. Do you hate being the youngest? I mean all the others are older than, even the ones who are supposed to be younger than you." Aram asked.

"Nah! I like being the youngest. It has its own perks, of course disadvantages too. But I am glad I am born young or else I wouldn't be able to meet you guys and have such an amazing friends."

"That's true. I want you as my friend, not my friend's mom. I am so glad to have you. But those kids are really too much" G pouted.

"I am sorry for their behavior. They toned it down because it is grandpa's funeral. Forgive those young people."

"What do you mean by young? You are the youngest. There is no excuse for their behavior. If they are that bad when they toned it down I am not sure how they would be everyday. How do you bear them? Don't tell me your sister or brother is one of them."

"Nope. Only child here, so you guys need not worry."

"I think if she had a sister or brother they would be angels just like her." G said.

"You are exaggerating. I am not an angel. Not even close to it. I don't know about you but it was advantageous for me."

"How so?"

"Since you are my friends they tried to butter me so much in hopes that I would put a good word behalf of them."

"So are you putting in a good word for them?" Aram asked.

"Nope. I want you guys to have a good life and find the love of your loves. My poor heart would not be able to take it if any of you paired up with one of them." I said shivering even to imagine that kind of horror.

"They would make a good fuck but it would be too much of a pain in the ass to get rid of them." Kidou said and I gaped at him.

"What? Why are you looking at me like that?"

I almost forgot his vulgar behavior at the beginning with his friendly behavior all these days. I forgot that he is a total pervert.

"Are you really a playboy?" I asked unable to hold it in. Kidou had the bad luck of drinking something and he spit it out at my question.

"Oh my! Sorry! I am really sorry. I just couldn't hold it in."

"Oh! You need not worry. He is a real play boy. Saying it out wouldn't change things." G said glaring at him.

"And whose fault do you think that is?" Kidou asked back.

I gulped. Me and my stupid mouth. Couldn't keep silent for a second. I think I started a war here. Just like I thought there is something between these two. Let me guess they loved each other and dated but got separated because of some misunderstandings. And Kidou turned into a playboy because he felt cheated. Hurt by heartbreak he started sleeping with whatever that has legs. There his perfect flashback. Now all that is left is to join them together again. Ugh! What are you thinking? Things are not easy like you said. Wait! First of all we need to stop the war brewing between them. They are still glaring fiercely ready to pounce upon their opponent any second.

"Umm.. you know guys.."

They both turned their glares towards me and fidgeted in my seat. What should I say now? What should I say?

"That is.. that is..I am thinking..."

"You are thinking?" Gouenji asked. That idiot. He kept quiet all over the conversation until now. He is always in good spirits if I am in trouble. If am going down then you are too Mr.Gouenji Shuuya.

"Actually we are thinking" I said gesturing to Gouenji.

"We are?" He asked.

"Yes, we are. When you guys all came to Boston for the funeral, he felt that it is good to come out and it would have been good if we all went out together, not for funeral but to have fun. You know, all of us going out and have fun in some other place."

"Is it?" G asked thinking all signs of anger disappearing.

"Yes it is. He said he will plan something and make arrangement for a trip. He will chose a nice place for trip, plan when we are going, means of transportation, booking hotels all this stuff. He would bear all the expenses too since he is filthy rich." I said looking at him smugly. Not only did I manage to concoct a story but also trapped him.

"Is it?" He looked at me narrowing his eyes.

I am not backing down mister. "Yes, did you forget?"

"It seems so. Well, you are there to help me right? I am sure the pans will come out good." He said non-chalantly with a poker face, again. Why? Why am I not getting the satisfaction of winning? With his pokerface how am I supposed to enjoy his defeat? Oh god! Please help me. Also because of the look in his eyes I feel as if I am trapped in his evil scheme. I looked closely at him and he gave me his infamous evil smirk without others looking. There it is. I am dead for sure. I thought I won but something tells me I am so in it later.

"That sounds fun." Aram agreed.

"Yeah, I think so too. If I refresh my brain I am sure I can come up with more inventions to have some fun there. You know play some games." And put me in some more trouble. I thought bitterly since Robert's inventions are the start of all my trouble.

"I am looking forward to it." Kidou said to Robert but I am so not looking forward. Should have kept this stupid mouth silent. I am digging my own grave. I mean come on how can a question about Kidou being a playboy lead to a trip and my ultimate demise. I will never change. Always looking for trouble.
