Tama's Secret Plan

Tama the head maid that has worked for Domyouji's family for the past 50 years only wishes the best for Tsukasa, the young master. It hurts her heart to see him upset for it was her sole duty to see that all was well in the Domyouji household.

Tsukasa entered his home slamming the door behind him. With anger in his eyes he stormed up the stairs and locked himself in his room refusing to come out. Tama surprised by this event wonders what has happened. A few moments later Soujiro and Akira enter through the door and pause to catch their breath

.

Akira: "Tsukasa that baka! What is up with him? Don't tell me something happened between him and Makino."

Soujiro: (after a few deep breaths managed to say) "He probably said something stupid to upset Makino and now he is moaning about it."

Tama: (walks up and inquires what is wrong) "Have the young master and Makino been in a fight again?"

Akira: "This time it seems serious. I wonder what happened."


In Tsukasa's room:

Tsukasa sits on his bed then falls back staring into the ceiling. He tries to recall why Tsukushi was so upset.

At a restaurant:

"Let's eat here Tsukasa!"

"No way am I going in that restraint, its commoner food."

"Come on…" Tsukushi drags him in by force and sets him on a seat.

"Why did you bring me here?"

"You need to give your stomach some variety Tsukasa."

"But I have already eaten caviar, steak…"

"You need to try normal people food."

"No way! I can't eat this food it will make me sick."

"Fine then! Go eat someplace else."

"No need to tell me. I think I will."


Back in Tsukasa's room:

Maybe I should have just eaten the food. Then none of this would have happened. How can I be so stupid to insult Tsukushi like that? She eats food like that every day and her food is probably of lower quality than the restaurants. I will go apologize to her tomorrow. I hope she can forgive me. If not I will have to go as low as to ask Rui and the others for help.

Tsukasa turns over in bead and shuts his eyes to try to forget the events that occurred earlier that afternoon. Quite soon he is softly breathing off in his own world where there is forever happiness and no worries.


At a shrine:

Tama: "Excuse me sir. Sorry to bother but is it possible for you to help me?"

Clerk: "What do you want grandma?"

Tama: "Do you have any charms to stop quarrels and bring two people closer together."

Clerk: "Sorry, I don't have anything like that but here is a recipe for a potion that has the same effects."

Tama: "I'll take it! How much?"

Clerk:"Well considering it isn't an official product I'll give it to you for 200 yen."

Tama: "Deal! Thank you sir!"

Clerk: "Pleasure doing business with you."


Back the house:

Tama enters Tsukasa's room and knocks him on the head with her walking stick. "Wake up lazy bones. Get ready Tsukushi is coming over for dinner tonight. You don't want to make her wait do you?"

Tsukasa: Alright, alright. (Whack) Ouch! Please stop that I will get ready. Oh great! How can I face her? She is sure to still be mad. Tsukasa, you are a dead man.

Tsukasa then showers which tames his hair but fails to wash away his fears of Tsukushi. He puts on an armani suit, simple yet appropriate for the occasion. He smiles to the mirror but his smile appears fake. Why can't I do anything right? It's too late to turn back now I have to see her face to face and apologize. "I'm sorry" That didn't sound real at all I can only hope for the best.

Tama: (Enters room) "Young master, are you ready to go to dinner?"

Tsukasa: Yes… Well here goes nothing…

Tsukasa gradually goes down the stairway and turns left into the dining hall. He takes a deep breath and adjusts his tie. Sweat drips from his chin. He wipes it off and enters through the door of the dining hall which is held open for him by bowing servants. He sees Tsukushi and the mere sight of her ties up his tongue. Just trying to talk causes his words to stumble.

Tsukasa: Tsukushi I'm… I'm… so… rrrrry…

Tsukushi looked at him with utter anger. While realizing that he tried his best to apologize, her heart couldn't bear to forgive him.

Tsukushi: What were you thinking? Why can't you just try to fit in? Just try to tolerate my world? Don't you know how hard it was for me to join your "rich" society? Why don't you listen to me? Tsukasa you baka!

Tsukushi starts to cry and starts walking towards the exit. Tsukasa you baka! Before she could leave Tsukasa grabs her arm, preventing her from escape.

Tsukasa: Makino…


Tsukushi struggles and Tsukasa releases his grip. She stomps towards the door but her path is blocked. She looks up and sees Tsubaki, Domyouji's elder sister. She is dressed in a simple yet beautiful yellow satin dress matched with high heels which made her already tall and slim figure even taller. She pulls out a silk handkerchief and proceeds to dab the tears of Tsukushi's face.

Tsubaki: Now, now, don't cry. Don't forget that you are Yomogi the brave weed.

Tsukushi wiped her tears and tried to force a smile. When will she ever get my name right?

Tsubaki: Don't tell me Tsukasa made you cry. When he is like this you need to beat him up like this. (Tsubaki proceeds into punching Tsukasa who is hurled onto the ground.)

Tsukasa: Onee chan... (Tsukasa falls over, twitching.)

Tsubaki then grabs Tsukushi's arm and with her unbreakable grip drops Tsukushi on a chair and seats her at the table.

Tsukushi: Onee san... You didn't have to go that far... I hope Tsukasa is alright...

Tsubaki: Tsukasa how long are you going to lie there get up! (She pulls him on to a chair.) Yomogi, what would you like to drink?

Tsukushi: I'm fine you needn't worry about me. I've caused enough trouble as is.

Tsubaki (gives an evil glare): I INSIST!

Tsukushi: I'll... I'll... have a... orange juice! No need to get on her bad side...

Tsubaki then calls Tama over to bring them the drinks.

Tsubaki: champagne for me and two orange juices for them.

Tama: Yes mistress... (She bows and leaves.)

Tsukasa finally wakes up and rubs his sore head. What did she do that for? And I was trying to apologize too. Who beats up the great Domyouji Tsukasa for trying to do something good? I didn't mean to hurt her feelings. He straitens up in his seat and looks at Tsukushi. I didn't mean to cause her pain...

Tsubaki: Tsukasa! You are finally up! Now lets all make up and forget what happened earlier.

Tama comes in and brings a tray with the drinks on it. She places orange juice in front of Tsukasa and Tsukushi and she places the champagne in front of Tsubaki. I hope the potion I put in the orange juice can fix the problems between those two.

Tsubaki: All right everyone! Cheers!

Tsukushi and Tsukasa slowly raise their glasses to their mouths and drink.

Tsukushi: Umm… I feel a little dizzy and I don't know why. This is just regular orange juice right?

Tsukasa: Ehh… This stuff tastes strange. I can't keep my thoughts strait. Is this the flavor of love? No, I have to remember to apologize. No! Can't stay awake. I'm losing conscious…

Tsukasa and Tsukushi both fall asleep at the table. Clearly knocked out Tsubaki observes that they had a long day and they were most likely tired. She calls forth servants to take Tsukasa to his room and Tsukushi to the guest room next door. She smiles in accomplishment as she herself heads off to bed.


The next day sunlight passes through the window and disturbs Tsukushi's sleep. She yawns and gets up. Proceeding to stretching her sore muscles. Ah… What a nice day it is. Wait a second! This isn't my room! I must have fallen asleep last night and stayed the night over. I will have to thank Tsubaki for this. Tsukushi gets out of bed and slowly walks over to the bedroom door. She turns the knob and opens the door. She is shocked to see Tama's face behind it. How did she know I was coming out???

Tsukushi: Ah! Tama sempai? Nanee? Ohayou gozaimasu…

Tama: Good morning young master. Did you have a nice rest?

Tsukushi: Tama sempai! Thank you for taking care of me last night (bows). Is Tsukasa awake yet?

Tama: Yes… (She looks at her with a puzzled look.) Young master please prepare for breakfast. Goodbye (bows).

Tama then leaves leaving Tsukushi pondering over her thoughts. I wonder why Tama looked at me like that. I probably have bed hair and it scared her. Well I guess I better freshen up. I can't let Tsubaki see me like this… Tsukushi having worked as a maid in Tsukasa's house before easily found her way to the washroom.

Tsukushi couldn't help but be amazed. Even though she had entered this room several times before, it astonished her during every visit. Now I can understand what it means to be rich... Tsukushi turns on the tap in a way to save water then washes her face. She dries it with a nearby towel then looks up towards the mirror.

Tsukushi: Ah!!! (She takes a step backward and is taken aback about what she had just seen.) Why is Tsukasa's face in the mirror? Don't tell me that it is actually a mirror? Don't tell me he installed it in order to spy on me… That pervert! I can't believe he would actually do something like that!

Tsukushi walks back towards the mirror and sees his face again. She sticks her tongue out at him and is surprised to see that he copied her movements exactly. The bathroom door then opens and Tama walks up behind her. What scared her most was that Tama's reflection was in the mirror but Tama was standing right next to her. In a few moments time she realized the horrid truth…

Tsukushi took a quick glance at the mirror then shifted her gaze back. I'm… I'm... I'm Tsukasa? How can this be? Wait a sec. If I'm in Tsukasa's body then what about mine? Don't tell me… That I'm dead! I need to hurry and make sure my body is still alive. Then I can sort out this mess latter. If I'm in Tsukasa's body then where is he? Don't tell me he is in mine…

Tsukushi turns around and meets her gaze with Tama's who now appeared to be much shorter. She grasps Tama's shoulders and shakes her.

Tsukushi: Where is Tsukushi! You have to let me see her! It is weird to hear his voice come out from my mouth.

Tama slaps Tsukasa's hand causing Tsukushi to cringe in pain.

Tama: The young mistress is soundly asleep in her room. You mustn't disturb her. And I thought he had finally grown up and improved his manners…

Tsukushi: You have to let me see her. I'm worried… Why is this happening to me?

Tama: Alright then young master her room is to the right of yours. Oh ho ho! It seems as if the potion is working! Why else would the young master wish to see the young mistress so early in the morning! I'm such a cleaver house keeper. Too bad he said that the potion wears off in a week…


Indeed Tama's potion was working but not exactly in the way that she had hoped. Tsukushi slammed open the door and stomped over to the bedside. There she saw herself peacefully sleeping. She shook her own body in attempt to wake herself up.

Tsukushi: Wake up Tsukasa!

Tsukasa: Is it morning already? Let me sleep some more.

Tsukasa rolls over in bed and covers his head with his pillow.

Tsukushi then shakes him repeatedly telling him to wake up. Tsukasa starts to sit up.

Tsukasa: Why do you have to be so loud in the morning?

Tsukasa looks up and sees his own face which shocks him. He lets out a small scream. Surprised at his own voice he covers his mouth.

Tsukasa: You doppelganger!

Tsukushi: Let me explain... I'm Tsukushi.

Tsukasa lies back down in bed and covers his face with the pillow. This can't be happening. This is just a nightmare. Everything will be okay once I wake up. He pinches himself. If this is a dream then why does it hurt so much? Don't tell me that it is real?

Tsukasa: Ouch!

Tsukushi: What are doing Tsukasa? Anyways we need to figure out what caused this. Meanwhile we should just pretend to be each other. For the time being.

Tsukasa: Okay...

Tsukushi: Get dressed. I'll be waiting for you to have breakfast downstairs. No peeking!

Tsukasa blushes when she leaves. No I can't violate her personal privacy. He closes his eyes and asks a maid to dress him.


Tsukasa goes down the steps wearing a school uniform for the first time. He walks into the dining hall and is greeted by himself sitting next to his sister.

Tsubaki: Good morning Yomogi! Have a seat next to Tsukasa!

Tsukushi: What took you so long Tsukushi? You mustn't waste the Almighty's precious time. You poor girl! Muhahahah! I hope that sounded like him. Let's see how he feels when I call him names.

Tsukasa: Gomen OCTOPUS BED! I hope I did okay. It can't be that hard to be Tsukushi...

Tsukushi: Baka! It's OCTOPUS HEAD! HEAD NOT BEAD! How stupid can you get? What's the matter with you Tsukasa? You are even getting my insults wrong. This way we will be caught for sure...Tsukasa: You know what I meant to say... I'm just tired today...

Tsukushi: More like you are an idiot today!

Tsukasa: Grr... (Balls hands into fists.) Don't be so full of it! (Punches Tsukushi in the face.) Now she will realize how I felt. At the cost of hurting my own face...Tsubaki: You two are so lively today! Did you reconcile your differences last night? Now let's eat breakfast! You two wouldn't want to be late for school. Would you?


The two quickly wolf down breakfast and head out the door. Tsukushi runs to her bike and Tsukasa to his limo. Then realizing that they had switched bodies they switched vehicles. Tsukasa, panting tries his best to ride after his own limo where inside Tsukushi is riding. And Tsukushi does this every day! Doesn't she get tired?Once reaching school Tsukushi gets out of the limo and girls surround her.

Girls: Domyouji Sama! Kakui des ne?

Tsukasa arrives on her bike panting and she comes to a full stop. He spots Soujiro and Akira and walks up behind them. He drapes his arms around their shoulders and proceeds to speak.

Tsukasa: Yo! Soujiro, Akira!

Soujiro & Akira: Tsukasa! (They turn around and are surprised by what they see.) Tsukushi! What is she doing???Tsukasa: (apparently forgetting he is in Tsukushi's body.) What's wrong haven't we been friends for a long time guys?

Tsukushi walks towards them and silently greats the three. Hanazawa Rui appears and is perplexed by this scene.

Rui: Yo! (He cuts directly to the point.) Why is Tsukushi sticking to you two and Tsukasa just standing there?

S & A: We would like to know that too!

Tsukasa apparently remembering what situation he was in lets go and prepares to act like Tsukushi.

Rui: Tsukushi, you are especially cute today. (He leans in and kisses her on the forehead.)

Soujiro and Akira both look at Tsukasa waiting for his reaction of anger and jealousy. They are surprised to see him blush. Tsukushi then slaps Rui.

Tsukasa: What are you doing? We are both guys! Aren't we just friends?

Soujiro and Akira are surprised at this scene. It was the right reaction but coming from the wrong people. Something strange is amiss here…

Soujiro: (Sarcastically.) You're a guy? What is she thinking…?

Tsukasa: Of course I'm a guy! Are you calling me a sissy Soujiro? And what are you smirking about Akira? And Rui! Well, Rui looks the same but why are the rest of you looking at me strangely?

Akira: Makino thinks of herself as a guy? No wonder she is so violent!

Rui stares dumbfounded.

Tsukushi: Domyouji! Um… I mean Makino, you are ruining my image! I didn't think you were this type of person!

Rui: Me neither…

Kazuya: Yo guys what's up? What are you talking about? Hey Tsukushi Chan. You look awfully cute today.

Tsukasa: Shut up, overnight rich kid! Don't think of yourself as my friend and part of the F4. Get lost! You are an annoyance!

Soujiro: You better not mess with Makino today. She has been saying strange things.

Kazuya: Tsukushi Chan… (He sobs and runs away.) Now I know there is no hope for her to return my feelings.

Tsukushi: Kazuya! Wait! You will be my friend forever.

Akira: What is Tsukasa saying?

Soujiro: I thought we were your friends.

Rui: 0_0

Tsukasa: Baka!

Everyone stares at each other… O__O

Ding Dong… Ding Dong…

Akira: Makino, you better head to class.

Soujiro: We'll c u lunch! ^-^!

Rui: (makes a small wave.) Something is definitely wrong here…


Tsukushi turns and leaves, going to her class upset. Rui lies down on a nearby bench and closes his eyes. Hopefully everything will be alright… He takes a deep breath and commences with his nap. The wind blows and he shivers. Immediately he grips his coat and pulls it around him. For a few minutes he is found just staring idly at the clouds before dozing off. One cloud looked like Tsukasa's curly hair…

Soujiro: Tsukasa! (He grabs his arm and seats him on the bench next to Rui).

Akira: What is the matter with you man? First you just stand there blushing and then you start calling after that novae rich kid. Don't tell me that Makino dumped you.

Soujiro: In Tsukasa's case that is most probably what happened.

Tsukushi: That would never happen because we both love each other. He loves no one but me.

Rui stirs from his sleep and tries to stretch his legs but Tsukasa is in the way. How dare he sit on my sacred bench? He sits up and stretches his hands over his head.

Rui: He…?

Soujiro: You seriously think of Makino as a guy?

Akira: You like girls… right?

Tsukushi: Oh geez… What am I saying? I almost forgot that I am Domyouji right now! Don't tell me that they have figured out?
