CH.2
If you're lookin' for a disclaimer you can find it in the first chapter, so please don't try me with that suing sht and what not, thank you.
AN: The more reviews the more chapters, and my brain is very selfish with creativity, I think it's scared I might go crazy with it. Whatever the situation my creativity chooses when it wants to come out therefore, my chapters might come up at weird time or might take a long time. One thing I can promise you is that, I will never leave you hanging, I've got all summer to write for you and I hate it when authors leave their stories un-complete and don't update. I won't do that, see how much I love you!!
"Hey Tsukasa we don't have the same room again right?" Tsukushi asked Tsukasa who had pulled them towards the stairs.
"Why?" He responded
"Because I don't think I can take anymore of your snoring." She replied…and lied.
"I do not snore!" Tsukasa opposed as they both mounted the last step. "Hand me the key, will you?"
Tsukushi gave up the key into the palm of his hand. He inserted the key into the card slot with the Kaede and Domyoji insignia on it. He pushed open the door. Inside the white and cream colored room there was a finely furnished living room, four white and black sofas a white and black single chair, there were double doors that lead to the master suite that contained a huge bed, Tsukushi was sure it was bigger than king sized. There were double doors leading to the bathroom and another set of double doors leading to the kitchen, even though there was no need for it seeing as how Domyoji would make use of the room service.
"It's like a honey moon suite or something." Tsukushi observed. She looked over to Tsukasa who looked pissed.
"Uh…it is the honey moon suite." Tsukasa informed her. He looked around at the room growing less pissed as fantasies started arising in his head. First the kitchen: Sparkles enlightened the whole room and in the center of the kitchen, at the stove, was Tsukushi, in a heart-shaped apron; she turned around "Tsukasa, sweet-heart, breakfast is ready!" she smiled one of her adoring smiles and laughed. The bathroom and bedroom were a bit x-rated.
"Onee-chan has gone off the deep end hasn't she?" Tsukushi commented. She grabbed her bags from Tsukasa and hauled them to the master suite. Tsukasa followed after her, dazed from his fantasies. "Tsukasa, where should I put my stuff?"
"We'll take care of that young miss." Announced a young maid and a butler, they resembled each other somewhat. The maid had very light, faded brown hair, her face was squareish and plain, and she seemed to have a generous size. The butler was actually quite handsome, he possesed extremely pale skin and he had black hair, wavy, had the waves been curls he could have easily been taken for Tsukasa, he also had squareish face but softer and he looked muscular. Tsukushi shrieked in response, dropping her bags, and grabbing hold of Tsukasa in the process.
"Who the heck are you?" Tsukasa questioned.
"Ah, please excuse us, we didn't mean to startle you. I'm Haruko Adachi and this is my distant cousin, Haruki Ishizuka, please do not confuse us. You may address me as Adachi-san. We've been told by mistress Tsubaki that the both of you are in our care and we are to tend to the needs of you and your friends." Haruko said.
"What friends?" Tsukasa questioned once more.
"Your friends from Eitoku High School in Japan, they happen to be here." said Haruki, who, when finished talking to Tsukasa, was staring intently at Tsukushi. "I'll take your bags young miss. You may address me Ishizuka-san."
Tsukushi immediately became self-conscious but what pretty, blue eyes he has…"Oh, I'll help you." Tsukushi stammered, she still wasn't comfortable with hired help. Haruki took Tsukushi bags never breaking his gaze. Tsukasa was too dumbfounded by what his sister had done to notice the awkward pair.
"Oh that won't be necessary, we can handle it." Haruko told her.
"Tsukushi…I suppose it's no use arguing with her, you might as well let her help. Adachi-san, will you show me to my friends." Tsukasa approached Tsukushi, wrapped his arm around her waist and whispered to her, "Meet me soon." He kissed her on her cheek. Tsukushi blushed. Tsukasa could have sworn he saw Haruki's face phase.
Haruko had stepped towards the door.
"This way, young master." She called to him. Tsukasa bid farewell to Tsukushi and made his way toward the door.
Tsukushi stared after him.
"The closet is this way, young miss." Haruki told her while heading in the specified direction.
"Oh please, call me Tsukushi; I'm not very comfortable with the formal names." Tsukushi informed him as she followed him to the closet. That was four men already calling her by her first name, Tsukasa definitely wasn't happy that Rui and Kazuya were calling her by her given name. Now to one of his employees, someone she barely knew, he would be absolutely furious.
"Fine then, you may call me Haruki. I have the feeling you aren't as spoiled as the rest of the people accommodating themselves here." Haruki commented. Tsukushi stared then smiled at what he had said.
"Ah…forgive me, I'd forgotten my place, it won't happen again." He apologized.
"Don't worry, you're right, I am definitely not as spoiled, but some of these guys are great." Tsukushi told him opening one of the bags. "Like Shigeru, she's spoiled but she's active, not lazy and she's a really great friend, she's just protected by money, but I know her better then that." Tsukushi began on the shirts grabbing hangers. "And Shizuka, she's absolutely amazing, she gave up her money to pursue her dream, one of the richest people I know, all she had was money, she gave it up, and now she has Rui, her family still chooses to give her the money though, The important thing is she had the courage. And Tsukasa, he's the absolute best." Haruki cringed at the comment which was left un-noticed by Tsukushi. "He has never done hard labor or anything for himself but I am always amazed with his capacity to love, the amazing friends he has, and the lengths he goes to for me and his friends. That's why I love him…" Tsukushi blushed deeply at herself. "I guess you can't really judge every person that has money, especially not my friends." She put of the last of her clothes and beamed at him. "Don't you think Haruki?"
AN: Hey guys!! I am so psyched about my reviews even though I only got six in counting, I thought absolutely nobody would like what I wrote but and back to business, you know the drill, the more reviews, faster updates, cause that's how much I love you!! DSC: And Hana Yori Dango is, sadly, not mine, R&R!!
Ch.3
"Well then I mistook some of your friends, my apologies Young mi- I mean Tsukushi, lovely name." Haruki complemented her.
"Thank you, Haruki, I think we're done here, right?" Tsukushi made her way towards the door of the closet.
"Yes, I should get going, I have to prepare for tonight's ball." Haruki informed, also going for the door.
"A ball? What ball? Tsukasa didn't tell me anything about that. Will you be there, Haruki?" Tsukushi asked all at once.
"Ah, well, yes, a ball, in fact two balls…er…the premier ball and the grand ball, and no I will not be there seeing as how I am a butler, I will be enjoying the festivities from the deck, on my break. The premier ball, it celebrates the opening of the resort, then the grand ball, which celebrates the arrival of Master Domyoji and his…beloved." Haruki answered in chronological order.
"Well do you mind company? I'm not accustomed to balls and something always manages to happen to me. Do you think Haruko would mind?"
"Wel-"
"And if you're going to say no to that, then you at least have to attend the ball with me. Who knows? It could be fun. What do you say?"
"I wouldn't be exactly comfortable at a ball either; I would be honored if you would join me on the deck in plastic and chips, instead of marble and caviar."
"You talk as if I enjoy those things, surely you've figured out by now that I am a total misfit among the princes and princesses, duke and duchesses, and kings and queens." Tsukushi took a seat on the bed. "You probably know then I do what's proper etiquette, where the salad fork goes, and what caviar taste like. I heard it wasn't all that good anyway; I'd rather eat salty chip and soda instead to fish eggs and horse pee, being champagne, any day. Don't judge me."
"You really are an odd one, I suppose you spouse will be in search of you. You've been quite a while in here, I should get going myself."
Just then Rui walked in. He took in the sight of her on the bed with her skirt riding up her leg (an unfortunate choice in clothing) and her flustered look at the sight of him. For a minute he was on edge, Haruki noticed this. He quickly regained composure.
"Tsukushi, we're all waiting for you, what happened. Shigeru won't shut up until she sees you. Come to think of it, even then she won't shut her yap, will she?" Rui told her growing annoyed at the thought.
"No, she probably won't. It's nice to see you again Rui." She subconsciously approached him to receive a greeting of some sort, she wasn't sure. She was hoping for a handshake. But instead as eh got closer he impulsively grabbed her into a hug. It wasn't what she was hoping for but just the same, she had missed him, all of them.
