Chapter 4

Love to faults is always blind,

Always is to joy inclined.

Lawless, winged, and

Unconfined, and breaks all

Chains from every mind

Shakespeare

The next day came with ease. Tezuka was at the office as usual, minding the day's business. At times the blue eyed angel will cross his mind and he would find himself smiling softly. He wondered when he can see his angel again. Maybe he should visit him again and buy him something.

What would someone like Fuji like? Flowers? Chocolate? Ah, cactus. Tezuka remembered the cacti displayed on Fuji's window stand. So cactus it is. Suddenly he remembered the little boy Ryoma. He was growing fond of that kid. He picked up his phone and dialed his secretary.

"Bring me a shoe catalogue for kids." He felt like a father doing this, his secretary must be suspecting something for it was unusual for the unmarried CEO to buy a kid shoe.

He was letting his mind wander when Atobe suddenly came to his thoughts. Atobe did not visit him today. That was so unlike him Tezuka thought to himself. Usually Atobe would not forgive him for something like yesterday, and he also left Atobe clueless about his love interest. He knew his friend and Atobe is not one that would do nothing if he did not get a clear answer especially regarding Tezuka's love life.

Tezuka wondered what Atobe is up to. He gave it a little thought before ignoring it altogether. He has a better thing to think about, his angel.

…..

Atobe was listening intensely to the reports from his personal investigator. "Tezuka Kunimitsu, age 27, CEO of Tezuka Industries, no records of dating. No lover. No secret crush." He stopped.

"Is that all you've got for me ahn? I knew all of that already!" Atobe said harshly.

"Wait, I'm not finished… Recently he was seen playing with a boy at a children's playground. Here are the pictures of the kid." He passed Ryoma's pictures to Atobe.

"Tezuka was with a kid? And they were playing together?" Atobe frowned as he scanned the pictures.

"Tezuka Kunimitsu has zero connections with this kid. The boy's name is Echizen Ryoma. He lives with his parents in Yokoshiwa street. His parents were planning to divorce. Parents are Echizen Nanjirou and Echizen Rinko who also have no connections with Tezuka Kunimitsu. He has one elder brother named Echizen Ryoga, 8 years old, studying in a boarding school. It seems Echizen Ryoma is just a random kid that Tezuka Kunimitsu met."

"What was he doing? Charity or something?" Atobe thought ridiculously to himself and gestured for the investigator to continue.

"That same day Tezuka was seen in an apartment belonging to Fuji Syusuke together with Echizen Ryoma. Fuji Syusuke is claimed to be Echizen Ryoma's sensei. Here is the picture of Fuji Syusuke." Atobe grabbed the photos. His dark eyes widened for a moment. His breathing suddenly become laboured. He felt something had caught his tongue.

"How exquisite..." He stuttered under his breath. Now the doubt is clear, Tezuka is definitely in love! No wonder Tezuka looked like a lovestruck teenager. The picture in his hand clearly showed the most beautiful creature he has laid his eyes upon.

The beauty surpasses all the models with the thick make up he's been with before. Even Atobe had to admit that he would fall for Fuji Syusuke if he did not know his friend had taken interest in the beautiful creature. The person in the picture was screaming out perfection. Atobe couldn't get tired of looking at the beauty. Flawless skin, bright eyes with the most beautiful shade of blue and face shape that compliments the features perfectly. The person in the photo was perfect for Tezuka. If Tezuka had a type then it would have to be this.

Tezuka you lucky bastard, Atobe smirked. He somehow felt happy that his almost asexual friend had finally met someone. He is definitely getting laid soon Atobe thought to himself. Despite their close friendship, Atobe has zero knowledge about Tezuka's sex life. If he had to guess, he would assume that Tezuka is still a virgin. Then he would ask himself who could live to be 27 and still stay a virgin ? Asking Tezuka about the matter would do no good, so in the end he decided to simply drop the thought from his head.

Seeing how his boss did not move from the picture, the investigator continued.

"Tezuka Kunimitsu was also seen with Fuji Syusuke yesterday having lunch together with Echizen Ryoma. It was an hour before his meeting at 3 pm."

Atobe looked up from the photos. "That's all?" He raised a brow.

"No sir, it seemed like Tezuka san just got to know Fuji Syusuke recently, which is a week ago."

"And?" Atobe was getting impatient. "How about Fuji Syusuke's background? Is she from a good family? Is she a slut? How about her love life? I want to know every single detail about this woman!" Atobe wanted to be sure if his best friend fell in love with the right person.

"Pardon me sir, Fuji Syusuke is a guy."

"W-what!" Atobe's mouth was hanging open. He never expected this beauty to be a guy. He is too pretty to be a guy. No, he's too pretty to be a woman too. Maybe this is what they call angelic beauty?

Once he had recovered from the shock after knowing Fuji Syusuke's gender, his mind moved to the bigger question at hand. Is Tezuka in love with a guy? The Tezuka Kunimitsu whom as far as he has known upholds the traditional values that his family has thought him and live by its rules?

Tezuka is a decent man. His family raised him in a good way. Tezuka's father would probably slaughter him alive if he knew about this. And his grandfather, Atobe could not even begin to imagine what his grandfather would do once this secret is revealed.

"Fuji Syusuke, 21 years old, born in Chiba, 3 siblings, elder sister Fuji Yumiko younger brother Fuji Yuuta, parents are Fuji Hiroshi and Fuji Yoshiko. His father owns a small business company in Chiba, his mother is a full time housewife. Fuji Yumiko flew to the States and got married there, his brother stayed in Chiba to help with the family business. At age 12 Fuji Syusuke moved to Tokyo alone, entered Seigaku middle school and Seigaku high school, he then graduated from Tokyo University majoring in early childhood care and education, participated in a few photography competitions and won most of them. He became a kindergarten teacher at Minamata Kindergarten and stopped working after a year…"

"Why did you stop?"

"Well sir, the information about Fuji Syusuke is too little. It seems like he hid his identity in everything he did. And another problem sir, you see, the kindergarten Fuji Syusuke used to work at refused to give us information about him."

"Why would he hide his identity? Is he a criminal or what?" Atobe sighed while rubbing his temples. "Did you tell the principal you're from Atobe holdings and are willing to pay any price for the information?" Atobe asked sternly.

"Yes sir, we did everything we can, but the woman refused to help us, she said all the information about her workers are confidential."

"What an old hag! I'm going to meet her personally. Let's see if she can refuse Atobe Keigo."

"Yes sir." The investigator nodded and exited the room.

Atobe reached the said kindergarten in his sleek sports car. He went straight to the principal's office, ignoring all the people ogling at him as he walked by. He barged into the office causing the principal to look up from her reading.

"Ah Atobe sama, I anticipated your presence today." The principle smiled, she rested her elbow on the table and intertwined her fingers. She is not as old as what Atobe had in mind, instead she is a beautiful blunette who look to be in her 20s.

"So you know me woman?" Atobe said rudely while crossing his arms across his chest. He eyed the woman top to bottom. She certainly had an air of authority around her but she was not going to surpass him and she will eventually give him what he wants.

"Who wouldn't know the richest and the most ill-mannered CEO in the country huh? By the way, the name's Yukimura Seiichi." The principal's smile didn't waver, instead she stretched out her hand for a handshake.

"Tsk better watch your mouth if you don't want anything to happen to your beloved school." Atobe shook his hand with Yukimura half-heartedly.

"I apologize for my rudeness, maybe you should too. Oh I forgot, moneybags like you don't apologize, sorry for my rudeness again." Yumikura said calmly with a smirk on her face.

Atobe was starting to get pissed off at the woman. He looked away annoyedly. "I want to know about Fuji Syusuke."

"Oh my, such a straightforward man you are! But I'm afraid I cannot tell you. It is the school's policy to protect each worker's personal information and i'm not about to breach that." Yukimura's gaze did not waver and she stared straight at Atobe.

"Woman, name the amount you want, I'll give it to you." Atobe pulled out his cheque book from his suit pocket.

"You failed to understand me Atobe sama. I just told you we have a policy to protect our worker's information. It's what we call confidentiality Atobe sama, ever heard of it?" Yukimura did not back down.

"I don't care if it is confidential or not, I want to know about this damn Fuji Syusuke." Atobe was fuming.

"My, how persistent Atobe sama, don't you have shame?"

"Listen woman, if you don't tell me this second I'll make sure your kindergarten will be closed down and be replaced by my new night club! How would you like that?" Atobe could not believe this woman. Nobody had ever said no to him before.

"Are you threatening me Atobe sama? You see I like challenges and I'm dying to see the outcome." Yukimura's eyes gleamed dangerously and her smile looked so menacing that it could kill.

"Woman you know who are you talking to right?" Atobe was confirming this, usually people would be scared out of their wits once they know who they're dealing with, but this woman was treating him as though as he was her coffee talk partner.

"Should I repeat again Atobe sama? God, you're being an asshole." she sighed "You are the richest and the most ill-mannered CEO in the world, satisfied? She smiled sweetly.

Atobe smirked "You have guts woman." Atobe leaned down and whispered in the principal's ear. "I must say you're beautiful, but sadly you're not my type."

Yukimura raised a brow "Well Atobe sama, I must say I'm glad to know that, and if you don't have anything else to say the door is just right there. You can leave now, it was nice meeting you." Yukimura gestured Atobe to the door. Her smile was still in place.

Atobe leaned away from her. "Well I cannot wait to see my new club built at this site. Be prepared to beg for a job at my new club woman." Atobe said harshly and continued. "Oh I forgot, I'm sorry but I can't hire a barely A cup woman."

Yukimura's sapphire eyes widened upon hearing the comment. "Y-you bastard!" Her face grew red. "Get out of here now!"

"Oh, did I hit a sore spot woman? I must say it must be hard having no assets at all, a pretty face alone won't help you know. I assume that's the reason you're still single until now, am I right?" Atobe was enjoying his game.

"I said get out!" Yukimura banged the table with her fists and stood up. She was in rage.

"Whatever you say woman." Atobe turned his heels and started walking away. He then stopped and looked at Yukimura past his shoulders "Consider getting an implant if you want to apply for a job at my place will you honey?" Atobe smirked triumphantly.

"Y-you…" Yukimura said between her clenched teeth.

Atobe walked away with a victory smile on his face but his pace came to a stop when a blond woman entered the principal office. She, too stopped in her track when she saw Atobe in the principal's office. Her blond hair was curly and went pass her back. She was wearing a way too big blouse with a long flowy skirt. There were a few streaks of color on her face and also her blouse. She looked like a mess! But despite all that Atobe found her to be very cute.

Atobe smirked, he neared the blonde. "So baby, tell me are you also a barely A cup like your boss?" Atobe said to the blonde casually as if he were talking about the weather.

"Uh?" The blonde made confused face but when Atobe suddenly started to grope her breast she yelped in shock. Her face turned crimson and her eyes started to get watery. "W-what are you doing sir?" she said, voice shaking as she was on the verge of crying.

"Take off your dirty hands from my worker Atobe!" Yukimura pushed her chair and got up.

"Why honey? Getting jealous?" Atobe smirked as he watched Yukimura who was in rage from the corner of his eyes.

Atobe then focused on the blonde in front of him "You know what blondie, yours are not bad at all."

"W-what?" the blonde stuttered. Atobe flashed the blonde a brilliant smile before walking out of the room, leaving the two there.

Yukimura glared at Atobe's back until he disappeared from her sight.

As Atobe stepped out of the kindergarten, he cursed inwardly. He would do anything to bring the kindergarten down. Just wait you bitch! He pulled out his phone and dialed a number.

"Ah Sanada, I want you to do something for me, meet me in my office later." With that he ended his call.

He then looked up and saw the darkening sky. Shit, it's gonna start raining soon. Quickly he made his way to his car and drove away.

Yukimura slumped back on her chair. She let out a heavy sigh. It was such a short encounter but she held so much hatred for that Atobe already. After she had recovered from her rage, she looked at Jirou who had been staring into space the whole time.

"Are you okay Jirou?" She asked worriedly at her innocent worker.

"Y-yeah I'm fine Yukimura san, just a little shocked." she answered truthfully "Who was that guy Yukimura san?" The blonde named Jirou cocked her head to a side.

Yukimura look ridiculously at Jirou. "You don't know who that guy is Jirou?"

"Nope." Jirou shook her head cutely. Yukimura's mouth hung open for a while. Almost the entire world population knew who Atobe Keigo is but Jirou simply said she doesn't know him even though she has been living in the same country as Atobe. She then closed her mouth, feeling stupid with her expression. She sighed. This is Akutagawa Jirou she's talking about afterall, sweet and innocent.

"Nah he is no one, just some pervert who is looking for Fuji Syusuke."

"Ah Fuji kun! He is getting more and more fans everyday… I'm so jealous!" the blond squealed excitedly at the mention of Fuji's name.

Yukimura sighed. "Yeah, I have to admit that Fuji is more beautiful than us women."

"Yes he is so beautiful! Oh god! I'm starting to miss Fuji kun! It has been a while since I visited Fuji kun, I think I'm going to visit Fuji kun this weekend! I'll bring a lot of sweets with me! I hope he will like it. Ah but Fuji don't eat sweets so much… then I'll bring chocolates too! He likes wasabi chocolates." she was babbling to herself.

Yukimura just smiled. "'Well then, send my regards to him"

"Okay, I'll do that." Jirou looked at her watch. "I better get home now or my grandma will be very mad. I'll see you tomorrow Yukimura san."

"Take care Jirou, just stay away from that pervert if you see him again okay?"

"Okay Miss Principle." Jirou answered childishly and started to leave.

"Oh and jirou.." Yukimura called Jirou again.

"Um?"

"Please wash your face, the water colors are all over your face."

"Oh my face? I almost forgot." she grinned foolishly. "I'll get my face wash later, thank you Yukimura san." With that Jirou left the office.

Yukimura stared out of her window, her mind deep in thought. The sleek car had sped away some time ago. Damn that man and his mountain high ego. Yukimura wondered if Atobe will do as he said. The kindergarten is her baby and she will not let anything happen to it no matter who the culprit is.
