A/N: hello all...i havent been on this site for quite some time, i know...but now i've got myself into a new fandom other then Harry Potter and well...i was writing something, got severely stuck, and somehow this fic came out. i thought it was an odd idea when i wrote it, and i was thinking about maybe continuing if ppl like it so...here's FACT...oh, a p.s. i dont know if the series ever mentions the name of Tsubaki's lover boy, so i named him Yuuta...if he has a name please correct me!!


Facts are facts, it's just the way life is. People need air to breathe? Fact. People need water to survive? Fact. Rui knows how to play violin? Fact. Sojiroh loves girls? Fact. Akira likes older women? Fact. Domyouji has always been a mean, spoiled kid? Bet you wanted to say fact.

Everybody has secrets, it's just how the world goes. Tsukushi's biggest secret was that she was in love with Domyouji, yeah, it was a pretty badly kept secret, but the biggest secret that she had. Yuki's biggest secret was that she had once broke into Sojiroh's house and stole a pair of his boxers, yeah, it was a pretty creepy secret, which only gave her more motive to keep it a secret. And finally, F4's biggest and best kept secret was that Tsukasa actually used to be nice.

Oh yes, it's true. Bet you didn't see that coming now did you?

Nine year old Domyouji Tsukasa sat on the swing next to his best friend in the whole wide world, Hanazawa Rui. With a curious look on his face, Tsukasa turned to Rui and asked, "Rui, what's love like?"

Rui swung his legs out in front of him and pondered the question. Finally he came with, "A lot of like. Cause I love my mommy, which means I like her a lot. And she really likes me so all the time she tells me she loves me."

"Oh," Tsukasa smiled. "Well, I love," He thought about it for a minute, "I love Onee-chan a lot." He then turned to Rui, "I also love you."

"I love you too!" Rui giggled before focusing on swinging his feet back and forth.

The bell then rang and a pout found its way onto Tsukasa's face, "I don't want to go to class."

"But you have to." Rui pointed out as he began walking towards the class.

Tsukasa never liked going to class. People there all knew who his parents were so they always tried to be his friend. He remembered a few years ago there used to be this girl who kind of looked like a pig who would only talk to him about what she'd buy if she had his kind of money or how great it would be when they got married. That was a little too much for a six year old to be saying in his opinion. She, and everyone else, treated him like a god or something of that sort.

"Tsukasa!" Akira poke d his head out of the classroom door, "Hurry up!"

With a smile on his face, Tsukasa ran into the classroom. Sure it had all those annoying fake people, but his friends and allies who were hidden among them.

That day after school, Tsukasa eagerly ran around the house searching for the one person who was always there for him. When he found her in the study, he squealed with delight, "Onee-chan!"

Tsubaki looked up with a bright smile, "Hay Tsukasa, did you have a good day at school?"

"Hai." He laughed and climbed up on the desk, careful to avoid her work. "Guess what!"

"What?" Tsubaki said as she went back to her work.

"I love you!" he shouted.

Tsubaki looked up with a smile, "I love you, too!"

After she went back to work, Tsukasa sat in silence and in very deep thought. It wasn't until a good twenty minutes later that Tsukasa asked, "Why doesn't mommy love us?"

Tsubaki looked up from her work with wide eyes. No nine year old should be asking why his mother doesn't love him. A part of her wanted to tell him that their mom was just a horrible person, but she couldn't bring herself to tell him. "Well, mommy is at work a lot so she doesn't have time to get to hang out and if she can't hang out with you, she can't love you."

Tsukasa pouted, but then changed the topic, "Who does Onee-chan love?"

"Hmm, Onee-chan loves you and she loves Yuuto."

"Does Yuuto love Onne-chan too?" Tsukasa asked, big, goofy smile on his face.

Tsubaki grinned the grin only worn by women in love, "Yes he does, just look at what he gave me."

She then held her hand out to Tsukasa and let him admire the sapphire stone set in silver on her pinky. Tsukasa gasped, "Are you getting married?"

"Nope, but it means that some day we will," She smiled and patted him on the head. "Speaking of Yuuto, he's taking me out to dinner tonight, that means it's just going to be you and mother here for dinner."

Tsukasa pouted, "But she doesn't like me."

"She does like you, you're her son," Tsubaki lied. Not about her being his mother, but about her liking him. "She just has trouble expressing her feelings."

"No, I'm pretty sure she doesn't like me." Tsukasa pointed out, but this time he didn't seem to mind, like it was normal.

Tsubaki sighed. She had always loved going out on dates, especially with Yuuta, but she did absolutely hate leaving Tsukasa alone with that horrid monster that called itself their mother.

Before Tsubaki could say anything, Tsukasa jumped off of the desk and smiled up at her, "I'm gonna go do my new puzzle, bye!" And he ran out of the room.
