AN: Can you believe that I actually wrote this: a het story??????????????!!!!!!!! I cannot believe myself! But this manga really took my heart! I simply adore it!

Since it's my first fanfic about this, please be kind to read and review!

This is happening right after the sequel.

I thought of this as a multi chapter story, but if the story isn't popular enough, it'll be deleted. But guys…there will be lemon (or two) in the end, so…

Maybe the first chapter would seem so rushed.

Dedicated to Nan-Chan, my dear friend.

Disclaimer: I own only this story.

Chapter 1: Window Washer

He was the main subject of rumors among girls. His dark, messy hair, his mysterious appearance, and his politeness and intelligence; that was such refreshment among guys in Tokyo. He was the missing ingredient for love. Girls knew that. There was a rumor, as well, that he had a girlfriend in his hometown, but that she was unattractive. So it wasn't quite impossible to hook up with young Komiyama Yoh. Each of them thought that they could easily erase Haruna from his heart.

"Let me guess" she was very direct, looking at him straight into his dark eyes, determined to conquer him. "That you are still a virgin." she crossed her legs provocatively. "You blush very easily, you are veeery shy…It was so easy to guess that you're still a virgin. I guess she doesn't give you any." She claimed in a rude, direct way, hitting the spot. She was good at reading people, just like Yoh knew. But she knew even better. Haruna was no challenge at all, comparing to Yoh. Asuka was reading him like an open book.

"Ehm…" he said nervously, feeling the temperature in the room rise for several degrees. It wasn't as if Haruna didn't want to sleep with him; his sister was there to spoil the fun every time they wanted to try. Asami was too much trying to stop them from doing 'it'. And his current location was not of any help either. Sure thing, he was eighteen, and it was about time to get laid, and he was feeling very strong sexual tension. But he had never thought of cheating on his silly girlfriend, whom he loved so devotedly.

A sweat drop was sliding down his face. "It's none of your business."

Hiroshi Asuka was his colleague and she stopped by to borrow some notes from Yoh. She had been hitting on Yoh since she first saw him, not caring if he was single or not. She was determined to conquer him and she knew that she would succeed.

Yoh walked her out and sighed when he closed the door behind her. She was tall, attractive, very long legs, high heels-oh, she knew how to walk with such shoes on her feet; gracefully, swaying her hips in a way that would never cross Haruna's mind. Asuka was a wanton and Yoh was aware of that. He had been refusing to go on a date with persistent Asuka, having Haruna before his eyes all the time, and he knew what he had promised. His feelings for Haruna were genuine. But being near Asuka was too tempting.

He recalled Haruna's words in his mind, when they had been at the overnight trip that all guys were the same. He had said to her then, that people were different. But was he right? He was mad at himself for feeling so uneasy around Asuka, or even thinking that when near her he was in temptation to ravish her on the spot.

It wasn't just his word-he really meant what he had said. He had even told his friends to take care of Haruna, to tell her that he'd be faithful to her, that he could never, not in million years forget about her. And here he was, so tempted. So frustrated.

He tried imagining Haruna's cheerful face, her radiant smile and it helped a lot; the heat of the night on their overnight trip when they had been about to do 'it' at last, and then, when she had cried in his arms, not wanting him to leave. It was her spirit that had attracted him at first. He was mad about Haruna, from head to toe now. But being so far away from her…He was so lonely…

But no! He could never do such thing to her! He loved her! He would fight against the men's nature, against those animal instincts! He frowned at the thought, deeply determined, as Haruna's image was still lingering before his eyes.

But little did he know that Haruna was watching and heard everything from the outside.

One day, she had come up to such a crazy plan: To get a part time job as a window washer, so she could see how Yoh was living without her. And she was surprised how much it had affected her.

She wasn't a dense and simple as many of them thought, she was just young and naïve. She knew Yoh too well to not notice a change in his behavior. Such uneasiness in his movements…It was clear that he found Asuka attractive (she knew her name since the window was opened and she could hear the entire conversation as well). It meant that Yoh had already broken his word. He liked another girl. ..

Red in her face, she was hanging there, unable to do anything. A pang in her chest warned her that she was about to faint, and it was just when she saw his face, his beautiful face before her eyes…So clearly, she could see it, and she didn't care anymore…She knew if she loved him, that she should set him free…It was painful…To even think that Yoh was looking at another girl with interest. She fainted. It didn't matter anymore, if she fell from such height or not.
