Part 1

Kazuki gets up to leave. He suggests to Kasumi that maybe she should make a trip to New York to visit her mom, so she could get her mind off Yoshiki. Kasumi gets mad with Kazuki and tells him that it's not easy to forget about someone you love. Kasumi stops in the middle of her yelling and realizes that this is exactly how Kazuki feels. She apologizes.

Kyoko goes to Kasumi's college and asks Kasumi to prove to her that she fully gave Yoshiki back to her. Kyoko, Kasumi, Yoshiki and some friends all go out to eat. While they are all eating, Kasumi realizes that Kyoko wanted her to be a "sister" in front of everyone without being bothered by it. Kasumi goes along with it so Kyoko will be satisfied. Everything is okay until Yoshiki grabs Kasumi's hand underneath the table. Kasumi can't believe and can't let go because of his strength. Kasumi tells Yoshiki to let go and that she's going to New York to go see their mom so she can't put some common sense into her head. Yoshiki tells Kasumi that that'll be no good anyway because the fortune teller told them that they're destined to be together. Kasumi gets a little dizzy and her heart starts to beat. She wants to be with Yoshiki so bad, but tells herself that she needs to hurry to New York so she can determine what's right and wrong.

Kazuki visits Kasumi's mom in New York and asks to see Kasumi. Kasumi's mom doesn't know what he's talking about and tells him that Kasumi is not in New York.

Instead of going to New York, Kasumi flew to Rome, Italy. She closes her eyes and starts to have flashbacks of meeting Yoshiki for the first time. When she opens them back up, she sees Yoshiki in front of her and she is in shock. Yoshiki sees her as well and is just as suprised. Kasumi asks Yoshiki what he's doing in Italy and he tells her that there was an opening for an excavation job. He asks Kasumi why she's in Italy and not in New York. Yoshiki's boss starts yelling at him to come back to work, so Yoshiki asks Kasumi to stick out her tongue so they can kiss. Kasumi tells herself that she shouldn't, but she gives in. She feels that this is fate.

Part 2

Kasumi is walking no the streets of Italy and a purse snatcher takes Kasumi's purse. She lost some of her make-up and some cash, but luckily she left her passport up at the front desk. Later on that night, she is a little upset that Yoshiki didn't come to her hotel when he said he would. She starts to take a shower. She hears her window being shattered in the room and is scared that it might be that purse snatcher from earlier because she left the hotels address in her purse. Kasumi is terrified and thinks that she's going to be killed...but it turns out to be Yoshiki and she is so relieved. Yoshiki explains to her that the hotel shuts the gates at 12, so that's the reason why he came through her window.

Yoshiki asks the front desk if there's another room available, but they are all taken, so Yoshiki suggests that Kasumi come to the boarding house he's staying at. Kasumi sleeps on the bed while Yoshiki sleeps on the floor. Yoshiki tells her that he thought he was daydreaming when he first saw Kasumi in Italy again. He didn't believe in destiny before, but now he can. He says to Kasumi, "I will believe in destiny if it's for you". Kasumi is very touched by Yoshiki's words.

Kazuki is still in New York and tries to call Kasumi in Japan, but her answering machine picks up. He wonders where she went.

Yoshiki wants to eat lunch with Kasumi, but Kasumi leaves early and sneaks out. She tells herself that she decided on staying away from him...but then she realizes that she doesn't have her passport. She goes to Yoshiki's excavatoin site and finds out that Yoshiki has her passport beacause he knew that she would leave early without telling him. Just then, Yoshiki's boss comes up and asks who Kasumi is. Yoshiki tells him that Kasumi is his girlfriend, but Kasumi gets defensive and tells his boss that Yoshiki is really her brother.

Later on, Yoshiki is walking in front of Kasumi and Kasumi realizes that he is mad. An Italian man comes up to Kasumi and starts to pick her up. Kasumi tells him no, but the man won't stop bothering her. She asks for Yoshiki's help, but he gets mad and sarcastically tells her that he's only her brother, so he has no right to stop the man. Kasumi is hurt. She continues trying to get away from the man, but the man won't stop. Finally Yoshiki helps her and hits the man. Yoshiki tells her to run. This reminds Kasumi of when she ran away with Yoshiki before.

Back in Japan, Kyoko's father tells her that Yoshiki's in Rome and that the professor told him that he's with his "girlfriend", but Kyoko's father tells Kyoko that the professor probably misunderstood Kasumi, the sister. Kyoko gets very upset and e-mails Kazuki about Kasumi and Yoshiki being in Rome together. Kazuki gets very angry and slams the wall. He wonders how he can stop the two of them.

In Rome, Kasumi and Yoshiki reach a water fountain and finally get away from the man that was bothering Kasumi. Kasumi wonders aloud what would've happened if she would've went to New York. Yoshiki tells her stop saying it so nonchalantly when he went through a lot of trouble switching flights in the same day. Kasumi is puzzled and asks him what he means. Yoshiki is caught in his own lie and confesses to her that he saw her at the airport taking the flight to Rome, so he came too. Kasumi has flashbacks of Yoshiki telling her that everything was fate and destiny and reminds him of what he said. Yoshiki gives her cold look and tells her that she's so cute to believe in such things that it's annoying. Kasumi is hurt by his words. Yoshiki goes on says, "You're just drunk off of this "destiny" and "real love" crap! You have to have those words to like someone? You need something like that to back you up, or else you can't go forward, so I acted like I believed in it." Kasumi tells him that he's mean for lying to her. Yoshiki yells at her and tells her that he does this because he wants her and that he'll use any lie or trick to get her back. Kasumi pushes Yoshiki and they both fall into the water fountain. She starts to cry and tells him to stop making fun of her and that she hates him.

Kasumi's mom and Kazuki are at a cafe and Kasumi's mom tells Kazuki that she has to go because she is busy. Kazuki stops her and starts to tell her about Kasumi and Yoshiki.

Kasumi tells him that this is wrong and Yoshiki tells her that he knows, but to believe in him instead of destiny. Kasumi and Yoshiki kiss.

Kazuki tells Kasumi's mom that Kasumi and Yoshiki are in a relationship as a man and a woman.

Part 3

Kasumi's mom asks what Kazuki said and he tells her again that Kasumi and Yoshiki are in a relationship as a man and a woman.

In Rome, Kasumi and Yoshiki are making love, but Yoshiki stops and tells her that he can't because he's so scared. He finally has her in his arms, but he just can't believe it.  Kasumi notices that Yoshiki is shaking and is tickled by it. She tells him that she'll hold him.

Back in Japan, Kasumi is trying to look for a job in some ad papers. Kazuki approaches Kasumi and asks if Rome was fun.  Kasumi is shocked that Kazuki knows. Kazuki tells her that he went to New York and told her mom about her and Yoshiki. Kasumi is terrified.

Kasumi and Yoshiki meet up later on, but she can't tell Yoshiki what happened. Yoshiki notices that Kasumi is a little down and kisses her. Kasumi is suprised by the kiss and Yoshiki asks if that cheered her up.  Kasumi is full of happiness with Yoshiki's love, but is scared about her mom knowing about the two of them.

Kasumi hangs out with her friends later and they stop by the restaraunt that Kazuki works at. Kazuki pleads with Kasumi to help him out with work, so Kasumi gives in. While Kasumi is washing the dishes, Kazuki tells her that her mom didn't believe what he said about her and Yoshiki anyway, so not to worry about it. Kasumi is so relieved that she drops a glass and shatters it.

After working, Kasumi goes home. She is expecting Yoshiki to come over, so when the doorbell rings, she thinks it's him, but it's Kyoko instead. Kyoko glares at her and calls her a liar. Kasumi tries to explain what happened, but Kyoko will not listen to her. She wishes out loud that she was Yoshiki's sister too. This makes Kasumi angry and she tells Kyoko that she is right. She is definitely a dirty woman that has sexual desires for her brother. Kyoko is shocked that Kasumi is actually telling her this. Kasumi goes on to tell her that she loves Yoshiki and that is all there is to it. She yells that she will not give Yoshiki to anyone no matter who gets hurt. Kyoko runs out and Kasumi falls to her knees. She can't believe she had the strength to tell Kyoko all that. Yoshiki comes in the door and asks what happened with Kyoko, but Kasumi hugs Yoshiki and asks him to make love to her. Just then, Kasumi's mom walks in and asks them what they are doing.

Part 4

Kasumi's mom asks them again what they are doing and Yoshiki plays it off by saying that they were practicing the script that Yoshiki got for the play. Kasumi's mom believes his lie and tells him not to scare her like that.

They all sit down in the living room and Kasumi's mom tells Kasumi that she want her to meet some man with marriage in mind. Before Kasumi answers to that, she asks her mom if she's staying over night because she does not have a suitcase with her. Her mom explains that she was in such a hurry that she didn't have time to pack a suitcase. Kasumi gets up and tells her that she's going to go buy a toothbrush for her then and asks Yoshiki to go with her. Before they go, Kasumi tells her mom that she'll go meet the man. Kasumi's mom is really happy.

Kasumi buys some things at the convenient store and on their way home, Yoshiki asks why Kasumi agreed to go see the man. Kasumi explains to him that their mom knows about them. She tells Yoshiki that Kazuki told their mom about them and that she laughed it off, but she was actually really worried and jumped on the plane and that's why her mom didn't have her suitcase with her. Kasumi goes on to say that she'll lie 'til the end to her mom so that she can be at ease. Yoshiki asks what he can do for her and Kasumi just asks him to love her. Yoshiki tells her that that is too easy.

Kasumi meets with the man and tells him that she's sorry, but she cannot date him because she is already in love with someone else. After meeting with the man, she sees Yoshiki waiting for her. She teases him about it and Yoshiki gets a little mad. Kasumi is suprised with his anger and embarassment and is really happy. Kasumi is about to go to work and tells Yoshiki that there's a reserved party for a class reunion. Yoshiki tells her that he's going to his junior-high class reunion and they both realize that Kasumi is going to be waitressing the reunion party.

At the reunion party, Yoshiki and Kyoko's old classmates talk about how long the couple have been together. Kasumi doesn't want to listen to any of it, but her feet won't move. One of the classmates approaches Kasumi and asks her to hang out with him after work. Kasumi tells him that she's not interested, but the guy won't leave her alone. He grabs her, but Yoshiki comes and hugs Kasumi from behind telling everyone that Kasumi is his lover. Everyone is silent and in shock. Then one of the classmates notices Kasumi's name tag and sees that she has the same last name as Yoshiki. They all realize that Kasumi is Yoshiki's sister and all laugh that Yoshiki is such a joker. Kasumi walks away and her heart beating madly. She is so happy that Yoshiki did that in front of everyone.

Kasumi notices that Kyoko is leaning down and asks her if she's alright. Kyoko smells Kasumi's perfume and tells her that it smells good. Kyoko tells her that the perfume is perfect for Kasumi because it reminds her of cute, petite girl. Kasumi is confused by Kyoko's behavior. Kyoko goes on to say that Kasumi has everything that she can't have...even Yoshiki. She says, "That's why I'm going to take something that you two cannot have no matter how badly you want it. I can at least have that, can't I?". Kasumi doesn't understand what she is talking about and is about to ask her what she means when Yoshiki interrupts them. Kyoko leaves the scene. Yoshiki goes up to Kasumi and she sees that he is drunk. Kasumi tells him that she'll be over at his apartment around 1 am and to just go ahead and sleep because she can come in his apartment with the spare key. Yoshiki leaves as Kasumi wonders what Kyoko was trying to say...

At Yoshiki's apartment, Kyoko comes in and puts on some of Kasumi's perfume. She approaches Yoshiki, who is half asleep in his bed and thinks that it is Kasumi.

Kasumi is still at work and it is already 2 am. Her co-worker asks if she needs a ride home. She thinks about it and decides that she should just go home since she'll just wake Yoshiki up.
