A/N: Sadly I do not own Hana Yori Dango. I would very much love it, if I did, but alas I do not *tear*. In fact, I own almost nothing so even if anyone wanted to sue me they would get nothing anyway. These are just the facts. Sad but true =3.


Tsukushi Makino impatiently tapped her foot as she waited in one of Japan's airports. She casted her warm chocolate eyes to the gate, then bashfully withdrew them. She attempted to show a false interest in other things such as the mother and child across from her who were also waiting, the pop machine several yards to the right of her, the shiny, clean floor, anything but the gate. However, her determined attempts failed. Soon her eyes were once more, glued to the vacant gate.

Makino let out a fatigued sigh and uncomfortably fidgeted with her clothes. Where are you? Makino's mind overflowed with thoughts. Why should I even care that you're coming back today? We always end up fighting. It doesn't even make sense for us to be engaged. For a moment, her eyes glanced at her left hand. There she saw a hefty engagement ring on her index finger twinkling back at her. The voice inside her head chattered back at her knowingly. We love each other, that's why.

That was the reason why she cared so much that today he would finally be coming back home. And why maybe they fought so much. They were both passionate about one another. Even though we might end up killing each other one day…we still truly love each other. Thinking this made a small shy smile spread across her lips. He really is weird. Why do I love him so much? He always talks so confidently, like he knows everything. He is honest to a fault, so dense, and never apologies for his wrongs against others. And of course he has that annoying, dumb curly hair! At last, an authentic Makino smirk broke across her face which was soon followed by a cute giggle.

"There's my Tsukushi. I was getting worried about you." Rui suddenly said with an easy smile. He had been watching her for a while with amused eyes. Still, after four years, she fascinated him. Rui continued with, "You shouldn't be so anxious. Everything will be just fine. I know Domyouji will be happy to see you. He's not a complete idiot, after all."

"Who said I was anxious?…I am just fine!" Makino protested defensively her eyes finally leaving the gate.

"Eh? Makino why are you so defensive? It's nothing to be embarrassed about. You two haven't seen each other in a while. It's to be expected no worries, Kushi." Akira replied trying to be helpful.

"Yeah, Akria's right! When absent lovers meet again, after such a long time, it is an extremely beautiful thing. No one as mature or as sophisticated as the two of you should get embarrassed by that. Imagine of all the fun the two of you will have tonight…" Soujirou commented with an impish grin.

"Yep, tonight is going to be simply magical." Akria agreed with Soujirou.

"Magical!" the duo replied wickedly.

"Shut the hell up you two!" Makino snapped going beat red and eye brows twitching.

"Oi! What the hell is this? Is no one going to greet me? Some friends you all are! " a familiar irritated voice rang out.

Makino immediately looked for the source of the voice she knew so very well. Domyouji.
