This is rated M for teen + for some mild violence, and some adult situations.
Disclaimer: I do not own Hana Yori Dango. If I did, I would be the girl for Rui, or Ogushun (I love him). I do own the plot and one of the characters.
A Girl for Rui
She looked at her watch. I'm next. Yes, I have just enough time to order two dozen of everything and get to work in time for the special event, barring any unforeseen events.
The other lady left and she approached the counter. "May I have two dozen of everything, please?" The two young ladies behind the counter looked at her amazed at her Japanese. She was used to those looks since she was gaijin, a foreigner.
All of a sudden, the door to the dango shop chimed and then a commotion occurred. There were expressions of "Oh," and then, "Ah." She was waiting for her order when she was pushed to the side all of a sudden by a handsome young man with wavy hair, who turned and bowed.
"Ladies, we hope you don't mind the intrusion, but our friend here is in a hurry and has an emergency." A handsome young man with black hair explained. Just then another boy with marble eyes came and stood on the side, leaning against the wall looking sleepy.
Most of the ladies exclaimed, "Oh no, we don't mind. It's okay. Go right ahead."
The young lady who had just ordered folded her arms across her chest annoyed. "I mind."
"Soujiroh, who cares if they mind? The "Great Me" should never have to ask for anyone's permission, especially not a commoner." The tall, curly-headed man expressed without looking at the girl.
"Look, I just ordered. If you would please just let me pay for my order and leave, I would appreciate it. I'm in a hurry."
The curly-haired man turned around, red in the face and yelled at her. "Do you have any idea who you are talking to? I wait for no man or little girl for that matter."
At his words, she was losing her patience quickly. Something she usually didn't do, but it was important.
"Tsukasa, why don't you just let her go first and pay since she has already ordered?" The quiet marble-eyed boy expressed.
They all looked at the girl and were shocked to find that she was a gaijin with dark skin and waist-length jet black hair that was braided into two braids. She looked to be about 12.
The one called Soujiroh spoke. "Tsukasa, she's foreign. It's obvious that she doesn't know who we are. Please, let's give the beautiful young lady a break." He kissed her hand.
"Whatever, since she is gaijin, then now is the time for her to learn who we are. Besides, you can wait for your breakfast before you go to school, can't you little girl?" He bent down to get into her face.
She lost it then. No one invaded her personal space. Before anyone knew what happened, she drop kicked the one called Tsukasa in the head. "That's for calling me little girl." Then she threw a right hook at the one called Soujiroh. "That's for trying to charm me. I hate that. I'm no pushover that falls for that crap easily." She punched the wavy haired one in the solar plexus. "That's for pushing me aside." Finally, she turned toward the quiet, marble-eyed one in a fighting stance. Then she relaxed. "I won't hit you. You didn't do anything to me. You tried to help."
The girl behind the counter with the long black hair ran over to Soujiroh. "Nishikado san, are you okay?"
The girl stopped and looked. "Nishikado? Nishikado Soujiroh?" She asked with recognition. He stared at her.
"Yes, do I know you? How do you know me?"
"Do you have an older brother that is a doctor and works at Tokyo hospital?"
He nodded. "How do you know him?"
"He's my sempai. I work at the same hospital with him. Now I know who all of you are. The F4: Nishikado Soujiroh, Mimasaka Akira, Hanazawa Rui, and "the Great Me" must be Doumyouji Tsukasa." She was smiling now.
Doumyouji straightened up slowly. "Good, now that you know who we are. You know what is going to happen next."
"Yes, I do. You've made me late for a very important function at work. So here is what is going to happen. The charmer here is going to give me a ride to work. The quiet one is going to follow with my order to Tokyo hospital. The wavy haired boy is going to pay for my order. And the "Great Me" is going to a nearby toy store and buy a bunch of toys for children, aged 2 – 18, accompanied by the wavy haired one."
They all stared at her, shocked that she was ordering them around. "Why would we do that?" Domyouji yelled at her.
"Because, I work at a hospital, and if you don't, I know all types of ways to pass along unpleasant diseases by touch without you ever knowing and without me getting it in turn. How would you like a very visible, painful, and unpleasant rash all over your body?" She cocked her head to the side and smiled at them. "And you have made me late for a special event for pediatric cancer patients. Considering most of them are terminally ill they really don't have the time to wait, and you just wasted time that they don't have and can't afford to lose." She had a softer voice now.
They felt bad now and agreed to her terms. She apologized to the two young ladies at the counter. "I'm sorry if I caused a commotion. I didn't mean to do so. I usually don't act like this, but they infuriated me so, and it's very important."
"It's okay," said the other one with two braids in her hair. "I know what you mean, especially since the "Great Me" is my boyfriend."
"Oh, you poor dear. Wait, then you must be Makino Tsukushi."
She nodded surprised at why a gaijin would know her. "Yes, how do you know my name? How do you know me?"
She smiled and took out her business cards and gave both of them one. "If you have any trouble from the "Great Me" or the owner of the dango shop, give me a call. Or just give me a call anyway. I'll explain later. I have to go before I am any later. Jiroh!" She yelled and snapped her fingers. "Chop, chop. Let's go. Time is wasting." As they walked out of the shop, all of the other girls were giving her shocked and angry looks.
How dare she attack the F4 like that and order them around. The nerve of a foreigner to do that to our beloved F4.
When they were outside, Soujiroh picked up his bike. "Uhm, I usually don't let girls sit on the back of my bike."
"Fine, then, I'll drive." She grabbed a helmet and put it on and got on the front.
"Are you sure you can handle something this big?" He returned to his flirtatious self.
"I can handle anything anyone can give me, no matter how big." She answered cockily.
He was impressed, but he didn't know her and wasn't sure of her experience. "Get on the back, then." He acquiesced. They rode off toward the hospital with her holding on to his chest firmly. He kind of liked the feel of it.
Everyone was staring behind the two, with the exception of Rui. Normally, he was laidback and subdued, but he was bent over double laughing and out loud at that. They all turned to stare at Rui, shocked. No one had really ever heard him laugh out loud and not that animated.
Makino looked at her business card. "S Harry McK. Wow, she is impressive. She looks too young to be a doctor, though."
"I don't care who she is. She doesn't impress me, and I'm not doing what she said."
Makino placed her hands on her hips. "You most certainly will Doumyouji Tsukasa. It's all your fault anyway, barging in and pushing people out of the way. You caused her to be late and for such an important event. You better do it. What did you come here for anyway?"
"You stupid, common, ugly girl, I came to ask you on a date."
"You big octopus head, if you want me to go, then you better make sure to show up at the hospital with the best toys for those children."
"Fine!" He yelled.
"Fine!" She yelled back at him. Akira paid for the order, and Rui took the order and one of the business cards. "I'll be needing this. I'll take that and be on my way." He smiled. She is really interesting. He hadn't laughed like that in forever, and he hadn't been interested in anything lately. Things were looking up for him.
Everyone else was staring behind Rui.
(A/N: Okay, read and review if you wish. If not, enjoy reading it. Yes, I know. Rui will be OOC. I intend it to be that way because this girl is going to change him much like Makino did to Domyouji. This story is not just a love story for Rui. It is so much more than you think it is. Yes, it is AU animanga jdorama verse. It is probably going to be fairly long, too. Again, enjoy)
