Chapter 1: Back to Japan

"Where the hell is Rui?!" Domyouji shouted irritably as he sat on his expensive huge couch inside one of the grand rooms of the Domyouji mansion.

"What's with the temper?" Soujiro casually said as he was playing billiards with Akira at the other side of the room.

"We're the famous F4! We should always be seen together." Domyouji huffed as he crossed his arms.

Akira shook his head smiling, "You know Rui… He could be anywhere sleeping."

Soujiro nodded as he cleared the billiard table of the last ball with him winning the game. He walked towards Domyouji and sat on the same couch where the leader of the F4 was sitting.

"By the way, one of my contacts said that a famous model from America is going to visit Japan." Soujiro said suggestively.

"Really now?" Akira's eyes twitched with interest.

"Perverts." Domyouji murmured.

"Seriously, my contact said that she's no ordinary woman. She's a renowned model besides the fact that she's really good at business though I don't know what corporation she's with."

"I bet Domyouji will like her!" Akira grinned.

"I don't like those socialites." Domyouji said bluntly.

Soujiro and Akira just rolled their eyes at this knowingly that their friend has totally no experience at that field called – love.

"Fine then, we'll just pair up Rui and the famous model then." Akira said.

"Speaking of Rui, I remember him saying the other day that he's supposed to meet one of his childhood friends at the airport. Isn't that today?" Soujiro said.

"Coincidence?" Akira said.

"He has other friends besides us?" Domyouji asked.

Soujiro and Akira both looked at each other also puzzled.

The airport was crowded with people at the time Rui arrived, a few bodyguards on his trail. He stood at one side of the waiting area trying to spot a brunette haired woman.

"Rui!..." He heard someone yelled behind him. Rui turned his head to see the brunette woman that he's been waiting for ran to meet him head on. Her hair was long with curls at the end, just stopping above her hip. The yellow summer dress she wore matched her 2-inch stiletto.

"Tsukushi…" Rui quietly said as he hugged the woman before him.

Tsukushi also wrapped her hands around Rui in a tight hug, her heart fluttering. "Has it been that long?" she said.

Rui nodded and gently release her from the embrace, "Let's go."

Without waiting for her to answer, Rui dragged Tsukushi by the hand and walked towards the exit where his driver is waiting. He opened the passenger's seat door and let Tsukushi in.

"To the mansion." Rui ordered to the driver as the car started to move towards their destination, an eerie silence enveloping them.

"…Rui, I… I'm sorry."

"For what?" Rui asked looking straight in her eyes.

"I… It's been so long… I wasn't there when you needed me…" Tsukushi said bowing her head and avoiding Rui's eyes.

"Shhh…" Rui hushed her putting a finger on her lips, their faces just inches apart. "Let's talk about that later. What's important is you are here." He leaned back onto his seat. Tsukushi looked at him and blushed realizing at just how close they were a while ago, she immediately looked down at her lap.

Most of the drive to the mansion was in silence, nobody made a move to talk. Tsukushi just glanced at Rui from time to time seeing him looking outside the car's door.

"We're here young master." The driver's voice got Tsukushi out of her reverie and realized that Rui has been holding out his hand for her to exit the car. They entered the mansion and they went inside the living room. Tsukushi has noted that none has changed from when she left Japan, the mansion was still the way it was.

Rui sat on a huge couch and motioned Tsukushi to sit beside him. Tsukushi sat beside him with her hands on her lap.

"It's been like… 15 years." Rui said looking at her piercing through her soul.

Tsukushi felt a pang of sadness at his words. It has really been that long, 15 years of longing for her only friend and love as she would never admit to him. At that time she needed to leave Japan because she has to train to be what she is now – the heiress on the Makino Corporation. As what her parents had told her, she needed to be exposed to the world, to be able to rise above the business world being dominated by men. She had to do it being the sole heiress of their empire. While Tsukushi thought about it, it has also been a blessing as she had fulfilled her dream on being a model, although only a second priority – she has made it big. She had a name for herself, a top model and an heiress.

"15 years and your still that quiet little boy I know." Tsukushi said as she stuck her tongue out at him.

Rui smiled, "You're still tough… and loud."

"Hey!"

Rui moved near Tsukushi and started tickling her until she can't barely breathe, "Ru… i…. Stop…." She said in between giggles.

Tsukushi managed to escape Rui's torture and move at the far end of the couch, "You're still like a kid!"

Rui smirked at this as he sat upright, "How's life?" he casually said.

Tsukushi felt relieved that the tickling was over, she went to sit beside Rui again, "Mother is in Canada while father is still in America, both of them working out an expansion of the empire."

"Hn… How about your brother?"

"Susumu? Who would have imagined that he would be a part of a famous boy band? He's on a world tour. Although father made him promise to continue on home schooling."

"He's lucky."

"Huh?" Tsukushi said puzzled at Rui's statement.

"You father actually allowed him to do what he wanted. I guess your father has really great confidence in you running the company."

"I guess so…" Tsukushi smiled.

Rui's mind wondered at the time when his parents were still alive, they have gone to a business event. They have introduced him to Makino Tsukushi, the daughter of one of his father's business partner. It was later when he found out that his father and Tsukushi's father were really good friends and they wanted him and Tsukushi to get along and be friends somehow. At first, Rui didn't like the idea as he found Tsukushi very loud, a total opposite to his quiet demeanor.

When his parents passed away, Tsukushi's father offered Rui to stay and live with them. He would have accepted the offer if Domyouji had not come to his life and save what was little of life he had, they became really good friends. Tsukushi had offered to stay with him but he decline knowing that the Makino company was at a turning point at that time – all their hard work resulting to an empire comparable to the Domyouji empire.

Even though they are apart from each other, they have maintained a constant communication whenever their schedules permit.

"Hey, do you remember that cake shop we used to go to when we were kids?" Tsukushi said interrupting Rui's thoughts.

Rui nodded, "Want to go there?"

Tsukushi shrugged, "We'll go there tomorrow after class."

"After class? You actually transferred universities?" Rui asked.

"No… Not yet I guess. I'll be a transfer student." Tsukushi said with glee, "For now, we have a lot of catching up to do." She smiled.

"It's first day of school again tomorrow." Akira casually said while sitting on a couch at a famous coffee shop. After the game of billiards, the three of them including Domyouji and Soujiro left the mansion and decided to drop by at their favorite coffee shop to get something to drink and eat.

"A Domyouji goes to school when he pleases!" Domyouji said proudly to himself.

Akira shrugged at this. "We have to go, new freshmen girls will be there!" Soujiro said dreamingly.

Domyouji huffed at this knowing where the conversation will probably lead and tried to change the topic, "I received an invitation at the mansion, a social event for the heiress of the Makino Corporation."

"Really now?" Soujiro said.

"Who cares for a Makino? I, Tsukasa Domyouji do not go to poor people's events."

"You know Tsukasa, the Makino Corporation can be in equal to the Domyouji Corporation." Akira said as a matter of fact.

"No one can beat our empire!" Domyouji said without a care.

"Well then, let's just find out who she is!" Soujiro said.

"And since our dearest Tsukasa here has not had a girlfriend in his whole life, I bet a hundred thousand dollars that he'll find the heiress to his liking!" Akira said.

"Deal!" Soujiro agreed.

"Don't make a deal out of me!" Domyouji said angrily.

"Fine, I'll bet that the Makino Heiress and Rui might get along better." Soujiro said.

"Deal!" Akira confirmed smiling at Domyouji.

Domyouji could not believe his so called friends, betting on him and Rui for some strange woman they do not event know. He rolled his eyes at this, "I bet she's not even worth to look at."

Soujiro and Akira just looked at each other and didn't seem to mind Domyouji' s comments, just eager to find out who among them will win the bet.
