Chapter Two: Seeing you, again

-

Tsukushi sat with one hand on her cheek and her mind started to wander off into the distance as Kazuya Aoike, the son of the loan shark he father had borrow money from, was talking mostly to himself. Apparently he was really fond of the idea they were to be married. But the whole idea was still bogus to her. They had stopped at a nice coffee shop called "Cocoa Java" for a drink. Kazuya decided it was a warm day so they sat outside; the store was pretty decent looking with a calming looking and jazz music playing many of the seats were empty with one person here and there. She stared blankly at the cup of coffee which she barely drank it was starting to look like mud almost, she push it aside and then looked back out on the street.

"Tsukushi?" Kazuya asked looking at her. "Did you hear what I said?" he asked looking intently at her. "I'm sorry, what did you say?" Tsukushi answers. Kazuya gave a short laugh and made a slow grab across the table for her hand, but Tsukushi quickly shot back. "Sorry" she muttered.

"You know, I've liked you for a while now. I'm glad were going to be marry soon" Kazuya smiled warmly. Tsukushi gave a weak smile and almost slouched down on the seat.

They said their farewells, and Kazuya took a daring attempt and kissed her on the cheek before Tsukushi could react, he smiled and walked back to his car. Tsukushi smiled faintly and headed down the street. What was she suppose to say? She just met the guy, he seems nice and all but not the guy she would want to spend the rest of her life with. He was trying too hard in trying to impress her. A man with dirty looking clothes "accidentally" bump into her and muttered a sorry and hurried down the streets. Tsukushi shot him a look and didn't give much thought to it.

As she got closer to the bus stop she reached into her pocket for her wallet to get some change, realizing that it wasn't there. "What the hell!?" she cried, turning around thinking she might have dropped it.

"That dirty bastard! He bumps into me back there, he must have taken it" she shouted, drawing attention to herself. Running as fast as she could, she head back down the street. And there it was her wallet, just on the ground all open up. She reached for it knowing that all money and IDs in it would be gone, but to her surprise all he IDs was still in it just the money missing. "Ahh asshole, how am I supposed to get home now?" she manages to wheeze out, suddenly a hand reaches out and touch her shoulder.

Tsukushi flung around to see that familiar face from three years ago. No words came out from her mouth, for once she was speechless. "Makino" Tsukasa spoke almost in soft voice. She stared at him not sure what to say, he still looks the same his hair was a bit longer and was straighten out. Those same eyes and that same hand touching her shoulder, but with a ring on!

With all the strength she had left in her legs she broke free from him and ran. She could still hear her name being called by Tsukasa but it was slowing fading, because he was not chasing after her. No longer running after her and tracking her down, he was different now. One thing for sure he was now married. Her legs stop and she just collapse right on the street and just sat there and cried. It was truly all gone now; even if he did find her nothing was going to change he was married to someone just like she would be soon.

"Tsukasa, why did we have to meet again?" Tsukushi sobbed quietly, it was getting darker by now, she didn't really care about the strangers walking by and staring at her. Her cellphone began to ring; she made no effort to pick it up.

Tsukasa was now sitting in his car, just thinking about why he didn't run after her. Why didn't he just hold onto her hand, and why did she just run off like that? It was nice to see her again even for just a moment, that face he long to see was still the same, she barely changed. Still the girl he would always love and long for. He started the engine and the car roar off onto the streets, there was no use in just thinking he had to find her again. He made the stupid mistake of letting her go three years ago and marrying another woman. And not just any woman, a dim-witted bitch who only married him for his title and nothing more. He was a fool a stupid idiot letting his mother get to him and making his decisions.

Tsukushi opened the door to her house, it was pretty late now and her family was all asleep. It took her a while to get home because she had no money for the bus. Her room was still the same as she left it; taking out a suitcase she threw some clothes into it and just cried. "I can't do this; I can't just my parents and Susumu alone with the debt"

"Was my life meant to be like hell? It might as well be" she cried throwing more clothes and other belongings into it. " I don't deserve this, I should be with Tsukasa not with some guy my parents expect me to marry" she shut her suit case close and open her bedroom door she took one step out and stopped, feeling selfish that she was thinking only for herself.

But who would be thinking for her after she married that guy and live a miserable life? She quickly wrote a note for her family explaining why she left, but not where she was going she had no idea herself. Taking some money from the jar that mama had kept in the kitchen behind the sugar jar Tsukushi kept muttering sorry.

Tsukushi gently open the front door and emerge into the night, without looking back she headed forward. Without a single thought in her mind as to where she will go, "I guess I should find a motel to stay at while I decide what to do now" Tsukushi said quietly burying her hands in her pockets. The night was getting cold now, barely enough lights on the streets.

She ran quickly across the streets without looking for on coming car, when all of a suddenly out of the corner came racing down a silver car heading straight for her. Tsukushi stood in horror; her feet were no longer moving "What's wrong with me, why can't I move?" and with that she collapsed to the icy cold ground. The car came to a quick stop and the driver got out tending to her. Lifting her off the grounds, he muttered "Tsukushi" as he lightly places her in the back seat.

Tsukushi slowly open her eyelids to the bright morning sun, her bed felt quite comfortable today and she felt like she could just sleep forever. Now with her eyes widely open she stared around the room, this wasn't her room. "This was their room, what was she doing back here?" The door opens and a figure came into view that same familiar face was staring at her. "How are you feeling? You gave me quite a scare last night" Tsukasa began moving toward the bed and stood at the end of it.

"I—last night- a car came towards me. I can't remember anything" Tsukushi managed to choke out.

Tsukasa gave a sudden smile and move in to sit down on the edge of the bed, "That was me last night. You fainted so I brought you back here" he answers staring intensely at her.

"Stop looking at me like that" Tsukushi ordered pulling up her cover realizing now that she was pretty much naked unless for the bra and panties. "Ahhh, you pervert!" she pointed at him, "What the hell happened to my clothes?"

"Calm down, it's not like I never seem you naked before. There's not much to see anyways. And about your clothes, they were dirty" Tsukasa respond. "And I, being the gentlemen that I am took them off for you"

"Gentlemen my ass- why the hell are you entering my life now of all these years?" Tsukushi asked, half glad that he found her again. Tsukasa stared at her again and then got up to leave, "Just get some rest, I have to be heading home now. I'll come see you later" and with that he shut the door.

A/N: Aiiiiiii ya! I felt like I rush through this chapter and it's just a big mess. I didn't know how I wanted them to meet again so I came up with this lame idea. Overall I feel this chapter is really lame and boring. And you can tell me the truth, I promise the next chapter will be exciting because Tsukasa will reveal his true feelings for Tsukushi and his plans of them being together and all that. But there's also his wife? Hmm what will she do to prevent this?
