Chapter 4: I Like Who?
It was a lovely morning in Japan but a certain Domyouji heir was not happy at all. How long could a simple investigation take? It was just for one person… A girl for that matter! He was imagining on how to beat Takashi into a pulp when he sees him.
Doumyouji walked through the door of the Domyouji mansion towards the car. His chauffeur opened the vehicle's door as he entered. It was a quiet drive to Eitoku, Domyouji leaned on the car door looking outside, his thought travelling back to a certain brunette girl.
"She deserves to be red tagged." Domyouji mused. "There's no way a girl would shame the Domyouji name."
"A beautiful girl at that, like your sister." Inner Domyouji said.
"She's not beautiful! And she's nothing like my sister!" Domyouji thought angrily.
"She is! Remember her very expressive eyes? Pouty lips? Cute nose and those long legs…"
"Stop that! I don't like her that way!"
"I didn't say you like her did I?" Inner Domyouji smirked.
"I.. Uhm.. Ohh shut up!" Domyouji berated himself.
"Ok.. Ok.."
"Bad thoughts! Bad thoughts!" Domyouji shouted to himself. As he realized, the car stopped and they were already in front of the gates of Eitoku.
"Sir?" The chauffeur looked at him totally confused at the young Domyouji's sudden outburst.
"Tsk! Whatever." Domyouji dismissed him as he abruptly exited the car and walked towards the F4 lounge.
"Yo! What's up?" Soujiro said as he saw Domyouji walking towards them. Domyouji grunted as he sat down on a rather large couch.
"I guess you're in a bad mood huh?" Soujiro laughed.
"He's always like that." Rui commented.
"Not you too Rui." Domyouji said as he faced Rui with frustration written in his eyes.
Rui simply smirked at this, "I heard you've had a pretty bad week?" He asked.
Domyouji slouched on the chair, not daring to say anything that has happened to him. He did not dare want to remember how a girl had actually managed to stand up to him.
Seeing as how Domyouji would not comment, Akira supplied the details for Rui.
"A girl beat him up and he has a plan to kind of make them 'even'". Akira said.
"You are not going to hurt her are you?" Rui asked directing the question towards Domyouji.
"I red tagged her." He huffed.
"She's still a girl, those goons of yours could be pretty rough at times." Rui commented.
"Still a gentleman our Rui here!" Soujiro said as he patted Rui on the back.
"Rui does have a point Domyouji." Akira said.
"I don't think they'll hurt her that bad? She's still a girl after all." Soujiro chirped.
Domyouji thought hard, "She'll learn her lesson that she should not defy the great Domyouji! Ha!"
"Do you even know who she is?" Rui asked out of the blue.
"No! That's why I asked Takashi to investigate." Domyouji declared. All three looked at each other knowing Takashi was the Domyouji family's private detective, did Domyouji really go to that length to even want a profile her?
"I must say you're quite interested in her." Soujiro slyly said.
"I am not!" Domyouji growled, "I'm just simply being cautious, it's like she's not an ordinary girl like those bimbos here in Eitoku! Still it doesn't mean that she'll be a treat to the great Domyouji!" He declaired.
"If I don't know you too well that you hate girls that the only girl you can stand for more than an hour is your sister, I'd say you're interested in her." Akira supplied thoughtfully.
Soujiro and Rui nodded at this. "You guys shut up!" The Domyouji heir shouted with a small blush evident on his cheeks.
All three simply laughed at how Domyouji could be so childish and in denial.
"So how's your meeting with Rui's girlfriend?" Domyouji suddenly asked, trying to avoid the subject of him and that… that girl!
"She didn't show up!" Soujiro sighed. "I thought I was going to have some fun."
"She's Rui's girlfriend you know." Akira chuckled.
"He didn't say so, right Rui?"
Rui smirked at Soujiro. "Does that mean you like her?" Soujiro asked in disbelief. They know that Rui got attracted to some girls here and there but didn't really admit it and seeing him actually smirking and kind of acknowledging the fact that he likes the cake shop girl they were supposed to meet is rather surprising nonetheless.
"I think I do." Came Rui's quiet response.
"Tse. Girls!" Domyouji said rolling his eyes. "Nothing but trouble."
"Easy for you to say, you haven't had a girlfriend ever!" Soujiro commented as he felt one of Domyouji's fist connect to his jaw.
"Aw! That's too harsh you know." Soujiro said as he rubbed his sore cheek.
"What about Shizuka?" Akira asked out of the blue.
"I was kind of attracted to her but this one is different, I liked her ever since we were children." Rui said looking out the window.
The F3 could see the sadness in Rui's eyes, they knew too well that his childhood was the least thing that he wanted to remember because of his parent's death but there was this little hint of happiness – definitely because of her.
"You do know that Shizuka will be back in two days' time huh?" Soujiro asked. Rui simply nodded.
First was Domyouji getting beaten up by some girl? Now its Shizuka going back to Japan for Rui but it's obvious that their friend wanted someone else, whoever she is. Soujiro looked at the view through the glass door, he was sure things are not going to go well as he knew how Shizuka really wanted to get Rui back.
Akira shook his head, things are really getting interesting here in Eitoku.
Domyouji left his 'supportive' friends back in the lounge and took a walk alone without really knowing where to go. They keep on pressing that he liked – her! How dare them! He didn't like HER! She wasn't any close to his sister. He wanted his future girlfriend to be like his sister, a strong, independent and determined woman. The great Domyouji has a sister fetish and so what? Who would dare bring it up to him?
His thought drifted again to a certain brunette girl. How her courage intrigued him, it was the first time that someone had actually stood up to him and he felt kind of excited though he would not admit it out loud. She was different from the bimbos who threw themselves at him but he could be wrong right? It could just be all an act that she was playing and he would not fall for it. He was going to make her life miserable.
His line of sight caught that certain brunette haired girl just outside the window, a good twenty meters away from where he was standing in the hallway, her hair swaying along with the wind. She seemed to be laughing, just then he noticed that she had company. Three other students, two girls and two boys – his eye twitched. How could she be laughing and having fun after he had red tagged her?!
Just then he saw how the boy hugged the brunette girl tightly, his blood boiled. She dared to be lovey dovey with someone while she was supposed to be miserable?!
"You're jealous." Inner Domyouji said.
"I am not jealous! She should be miserable!"
"Miserable?"
"Yes!" Domyouji shouted in his thoughts.
"I think what you mean is you'd rather have her in your arms."
"The fuck!" Domyouji couldn't stand it, he stormed out very furious as he saw the brunette hold the boys' hand. Walking back to where he came from, he was determined to give his good for nothing goons a piece of his brilliant mind.
"You morons! What do I pay you for! She's only one girl and you couldn't even do something?" Domyouji shouted angrily towards the six male students in front of him, all of them on their knees.
He had called them and here they are now inside one of the offices inside Eitoku that was exclusively for the use of the F4.
"We're terribly sorry Domyouji-sama, that girl is strong! And her friends…" One of the students trailed of as Domyouji's eyes turned into slits daring him to speak any more of their stupidity.
"Strong? They are girls for crying out loud!" Domyouji roared.
"But you don't understand Domyouji-sama, she's…"
"Enough! I'll deal with this myself!" Domyouji interrupted the good for nothing student and stormed out of the room.
Tsukushi, Shigeru and Yuki exited the room of their last subject for the morning session. Shigeru and Yuki were getting along and Tsukushi was happy for her friends. Speaking of friends, Yuki wanted them to meet some people today… Some of her friends she said. Tsukushi hoped they would get along well, the more friends the better right?
If she made an enemy in the name of a certain Domyouji, she had to make more friends then. Surprisingly, no one bothered her today since that incident that they taught those Domyouji goons a lesson. That Domyouji guy was kind of handsome but he's a total brute! "Whoa… I shouldn't be thinking about those things about him." Tsukushi groaned.
Tsukushi's thoughts were rudely interrupted when the ever so joyful Shigeru pulled on her arm. Tsukushi scanned her surroundings, they were standing outside of the building, a small park as she would put it where students can have little picnics if they wanted to. She saw two unfamiliar guys talking to Yuki about five meter away from where she and Shigeru were standing.
Yuki waived her hand at them signaling them to come closer. She wondered why Shigeru even bothered to stop walking anyway. The two of them walked towards Yuki and the two new comers.
"Hey, I'd like to introduce you to my friends, Tsukushi and Shigeru." Yuki chirped happily.
Shigeru flashed the two boys a smile as Tsukushi said her hello and smiled.
"Tsukushi, Shigeru, this two are Kayuza and Amon." Yuki said as she pointed towards a short boy she referred to as Kazuya and a tall one named Amon.
Tsukushi looked at them, they were definitely rich kids by just how they present themselves with full confidence and who would miss those expensive clothings?
"Hi, nice to meet you Tsukushi." Amon said as he raised his hand to shake Tsukushi's.
Tsukushi reluctantly shook hands with him. Amon wasn't that bad, he was handsome, a little tan but handsome nonetheless. He was also a head taller than her just like Rui.
"Hi dear Tsukushi." Kayuza said in a sing song voice, he suddenly hugged her tight which made Tsukushi back out a little in surprise.
"What's wrong with him?" Tsukushi asked trying to pry Kazuya's arms around her.
Yuki giggled, "Oh Tsukushi, don't worry about Kayuza, he's always like that, eager to meet new people. I think he already likes you."
"Uhm… Hi." Tsukushi said as Kayuza lets her go.
"Well, now that we're acquainted. Let's go grab some lunch and get to know each other better." Shigeru said happily.
"That'll be great right Amon? Kazuya?" Yuki said.
"Why of course dear Shigeru!" Kazuya said as he again hugged the girl. Amon simply nodded.
"Hey, get off." Shigeru shouted.
The other four laughed at the scene before them. Shigeru though didn't miss how Amon looked at Tsukushi, she kind of felt that he was interested in her friend but brushed it off. She knew Tsukushi didn't have time for love, especially now that their company was going to expand even more here in Japan and she only had eyes for Rui.
The five started walking towards the cafeteria as Tsukushi abruptly stopped.
"Tsukushi, what's wrong?" Shigeru asked.
"I left something in the classroom. You guys go ahead and I'll follow."
"What if Domyouji's goons tries something funny again?" Shigeru asked.
"You know I can handle them." Tsukushi said laughing.
"But still…" Yuki said worry in her voice.
"I'll escort you." Amon said surprising everyone.
"No need. I can manage." Tsukushi said as she shaked her hands in front of her, politely declining him.
"I think that's great idea! Ok Amon, you escort her and we'll see you two in the cafeteria." Shigeru said as she dragged Yuki and Kayuza with her.
"What's with her?" Tsukushi thought.
"Shall we?" Amon asked her, a charming smile grazing his lips which made Tsukushi blush a little not comfortable with all the attention he was suddenly giving her.
"You shouldn't have volunteered to escort me, I don't need a knight in shining armor you know." Tsukushi whispered as they walked side by side towards the school building.
"I can be your knight if you want me to." Amon said in almost a whisper.
Unknown to them, the Domyouji heir was hot on their tracks – ready to give the brunette girl a piece of his mind.
