Part 3 ~ beginning of a partnership 
I walk around the store in a white and crimson Lolita dress with matching socks and black platform shoes and skull decorated hair piece (which was crimson), while sub-consciously play with a hand held fan as Kiku looks at me in interest.
“Mana-sama will be here shortly” Chou informs me as she walks upstairs to the office, I follow her silently. “Are you sure about this?” Chou asks as I walk around the office, whilst tapping the fan on my leg.
“As long as the media stops hounding us, then I don’t care, I will also announce myself as the owner not the model” I say as I watch a car appear as Mana steps out of it closely followed by Hime.
“Chi, in a way your like Mana-sama, both creator and presenter” Chou says as she picks u the phone that started to ring. “Yes, Chi is waiting and in a funny mood” Chou says as she puts the phone on its cradle as a knock is heard. Chou opens the door and lets Mana and Hime in.
“Chi-san, we are here about the contracts” Hime says as I turn and look at her with no visible emotion.
“Fair enough” I say as I motion towards the desk and sat behind it while Mana sat across from me as Hime stood behind him. She gives me a warm smile as my face betrayed nothing but my eyes showed her how pleased I am to see her again so quickly. Mana quickly pulls out two pieces of papers and place one in front of me, a contract.
“I hope this will be sufficed” Mana soft yet masculine voice says as my brain let out a gasp, this is a first for me, hearing Mana speak. I look over the contract and took in all details of it. Mostly it stated that we are two separate companies that will co-exist with one another and will occasionally work together, if both parties agree. Also it says that both companies will be present at interviews and photo shots as a combined group to prove that both companies are in a partnership. Other than that it states that neither company has to inform the other of their actions unless it is involved with the media. I motion Chou over; she walks over to me and leans over.
“So what do you think?” I ask Chou in German as she quickly reads it as I twirl a pen between my fingers. Mana had no real idea of what we were saying but Hime did, she kept it to herself though.
“It’s a reasonable contract except the media part, but we need to convince people that our partnership is the real deal. I believe it’s a good idea, but its up to you boss” Chou says as I nod and sign the contract as Mana smiles but quickly covers it up as he hands me the other contract to sign. I pass him my pen and other paper as he signed them both. 
“As witness, we know these documents as legit and a partnership has been made.” Chou says as Mana takes one of his gloves off and extends a hand to me, I look at it before I shock it. His grip was strong as he gently turns my hand and places a small kiss on the back of it. Then we let go, he picks up one contract and puts it back in the folder and hands it to Hime as Chou pick up our one and puts it in its new draw. I stood up and stood next to Hime, Mana walks over to me.
“I wish to look around, do you mind?” Mana whispers to me as I felt a funny chill run down my spine.
“Not at all, you’re free to look at anything you want” I say as I lead them out of the room and into the main store where Akito and Kazuo were playing ‘lets build towers with coins’. I silently walk up to them and stood in front of them. They look up and let out a frightened squeak as they hurriedly put the coins back in their respective place.
“Aki baby” Hime says as she hugs Akito and he returns it. Kazuo looks at Akito in shock.
“When did you two start dating?” Kazuo asks as I sigh.
“For the least two months” I say as Kazuo looks at me in surprise. I glance over my shoulder, watching Mana as he carefully looks at some of the clothes, this store has to offer. He gives a small smile at them and continues to look around.
“How did you know, Chi-Chi?” Kazuo demands as I sigh, as more customers walk in and gasp at the sight of Mana in a rival store.
“Hime trusts me with a lot of her secrets” I say as Hime suddenly hugs me strongly.
“Plus I am the secret lover of Chi’s” Hime jokes as Kazuo gasps. “No silly, we are like Sisters” Hime seriously answers as a customer walks up to us.
“Excuse me, but why is Mana-sama here?” she asks as Hime smiles.
“Mana-San had to talk with Chi-san” Hime says as the woman gasps and glances at me.
“You’re Chi-san?” She asks as I simply nod “Oh my, you are an idol to me, I really love your work, and can I call you Chi-sama?” the woman asks as I whisper to Hime.
“She says if you wish” Hime says for me as the woman happily squeals and buys some items and leaves, as she gives me a small bow. “Taking a Mana-san trait?” Hime asks as I smile and nod.
“I don’t wish people to know me until it is needed” I say as Mana suddenly appears next to me and Hime, he motions to Hime the need to leave.
“I’ll see you soon, Hai?” Hime asks as she hugs me strongly, which I return.
“Of course, your more than welcome here” I say as she lets go and leaves with Mana.
“Mana-sama was perving on you Chi” Akio suddenly says as I turn and look at him.
“What do you mean?” I ask as I loom over the man.
“Well, he stopped looking at things when the woman went up to you and Hime and he never once took his eyes off you” he informs as I raise an eyebrow.
“He could have been looking at Hime” I retaliate as Kazuo shook his head.
“No seriously, his creepy blue eyes was intensely on you, I swear even Hime had noticed that’s why she moved away from you at one time and notice he didn’t shift his gaze, we all did” Kazuo adds as I sigh.
“Seriously, why would he be looking? There’s nothing good here” I say as I swiftly motion my being.
“He might like you for what you can do and he sees you as something he could work with” Kazuo assumes as Chou sighs.
“It was interesting to watch a silent, personal man stare at a woman who could probably whip his ass in hiding their identity” Chou says as I glare at the woman, then her phone rang. “Hello Hime-Chan…tomorrow, sure we can do that…I think so too…maybe something will happen, who knows…anyway back to business…midday…ok, we will be there, ja ne” Chou says as she hangs up “Tomorrow, midday we have to be at Moi-Meme Moitie, we are going to announce the partnership, so everything could be fixed” Chou informs as I sigh and look out the window, the sky was painted a crimson with dashes of lilac and midnight blue, early signs of an ending day.
“We have to be there at eleven, Chou you have to come with me. Kiku keep designing for the next season. Akito and Kazuo, man the shop alright” I order as everyone agrees to their job for tomorrow, my thoughts straying on many topics, especially tomorrow.
