Continuation.

"I." Doumyouji said. "Well, no matter what happens from now on. please remember that I mean every word I said that day." His face was so serious that I couldn't help but think if only his face was always this way, instead of his usual smirking one. But on the other hand, it really scared me a little to see his serious side.

"Wha- what do u mean?" I asked softly. "What will happen from now on?" My head was spinning with thoughts. He was going to move away? Not that I would care, but I was getting accustomed to seeing that idiot's face every day. It would be weird not to! Or was he going to move on to ANOTHER girl? I brought my hands up to my temples and rubbed. This was giving me a headache. I had better stop torturing myself like this.

"The time will come when you will understand." He walked off to the F3's direction, totally not answering my question.

"WHAT!" I shouted after him. "Tell me what you mean by that!" But he did not even turn around, jus kept walking and walking. "IDIOT!" I screamed at him.

"Fine! If that was the way he wanted to play it, then I'll do right about the same thing! Just wait and see, Doumyouji, I don't believe a word that you told me that day and I never will. Treat me like dirt, huh? You'll get back the same treatment!" I fumed, muttering under my breath. I turned in my heels and marched off angrily.

Doumyouji's P.O.V

"I like you, Makino.I like you, Makino.I like you Makino.I like you." The phrase chanted in my mind as I sat in my room staring into space, thinking of what had happened this afternoon. I could tell that Makino did not believe me, but what could I do? This was the only choice I had of warning her what will happen.

The fact was that I could TELL that she liked me, but she was being such a little stubborn mule that she just could not force the three words out of her mouth. Now that I have expressed my feelings to her, the only thing I could do was to wait.or move on.

"ARGH!" I pounded my fist on my mahogany table as the chanting returned. Why couldn't I forget it?? She was just an ordinary girl.why would I fall for her? There were loads of other girls in Eitoku Gakuen-more beautiful and elegant and RICH-compared to Makino, so why she?

"Because you got attracted to her strong determination and her frankness and her innocence and her." Another voice told me and it kept pressing on and on that I thought my head would explode.

"Tsukasa!" My sister, Doumyouji Tsubaki, entered the room uninvited and sat on the edge of my bed impatiently. "Did you tell Tsukushi about it?"

I remained silent. What could I say? If I said no, my violent sister would definitely give me a thrashing, but if I said yes, wouldn't I be lying? And worse still, she may go up to Makino to explain everything. either way I was trapped.

"So did you or did you not?" my sister persisted and her voice grew increasingly more impatient and more impatient with every word she said. When I still remained silent, she jerked me up on my feet and put her hand menacingly over my neck, as if she was going to strangle me if I didn't speak the truth.

"Let go of me, sis!" I struggled but she punched my eye so I stopped struggling.at least for a while.

"Spit it out!" she demanded threateningly.

"Spit? Oh, sure." I thought she meant spit literally so I spat. She was so disgusted that she immediately dropped her hands from my neck and retreated a few steps back.

"Idiot! I meant 'spit it out' as in say it out, not SPIT! Urgh!" she shook her head disgustedly and broke into peals of laughter after seeing the blank look on my face.

"Why didn't you say so then? It's so much simpler if you would just say 'say it out' instead of 'spit it out'." I crossed my finger behind my back. I hoped my sister would forget about the thing she was interrogating me about and proceed on to another less pressurizing issue. But, hell no, my sister had good brains inside her pretty head.

"Now, SPIT IT OUT and I don't mean literally."she warned, her eyes narrowed menacingly.

"Okay, okay," I succumbed finally. "I didn't tell her, satisfied? HOW do you want me to tell her?? I just can't do it." I brushed past her and flung myself on my bed.

"You are such a fool. It'd make things SO much better if you would just tell her! Do you want her to know about it by some other sources? She'll be so mad with you that she'd ignore you for life. I'm warning you first. She's a nice and sweet girl, and I expect that you are serious about her, so for goodness sake, PLEASE tell her, dear brother!" She threw up her hands, exasperated. She sighed impatiently. "She'll understand, I just know it. Never underestimate a woman's sixth sense!"

"Yeah, right," I muttered softly. Makino was a stubborn girl, she wouldn't understand and she would kick up such a big fuss and-no, she's not a normal girl, I reminded myself. She would act like she couldn't care less and remind me that I was my "usual" self.a flirt.

"So tell her tomorrow! I'll make you if you won't!" the woman in front of me stopped pacing my room and put a finger to her lips suddenly. We could hear footsteps coming from outside of the room.

"Tsukasa," The clicking of heels followed. Doumyouji Kaede, my mother appeared in the doorway, a frown on her face as usual. "It's time to go. Come on. I'll meet you downstairs in five minutes time. And for you, Tsubaki, I think it's time that you go and have your daily driving lessons. The instructor is already downstairs." With that, she went away, the clicking of her heels fading away.
