Sorry for the late update!! Gomen!

Chapter 6

Meanwhile back at the bar, one of the bartenders who served Tsukushi her previous drink approached her urgently and asked her if she wants one more serving of the Red Delirium.

Tsukushi declined and said "No. I want a stronger one, what about two shots of tequila?

The bartender smiled and handed her two shot glasses filled with gold tequila with salt at its brim and two slices of lemon. She gulped down the entire contents of one of the shot glasses and felt the alcohol's heat sliding down her throat and settling in her stomach. She felt a new sense of heat traveling through her veins and giving her a new source of courage. She waved at the bartender to keep her drink for a while and headed into the dance floor. She needed to let all her anger at Tsukasa out of her system.

As Tsukushi danced her way into the middle of the dance floor, a tall guy spotted her and approached her from behind.

"Hey there, do you mind if I asked for a dance?" Junpei said smiling sweetly at Tsukushi..

Tsukushi spun around and saw this tall guy smiling at her. She smiled back and thought that it might be a good idea to know someone knew. "Sure thing.. And you are?

Junpei pressed his body close to her and said "You could call me Junpei, what's your name?"

Tsukushi nodded and said "Makino Tsukushi.."

Soon they danced together with the other teenagers in the dance floor bumping and grinding their bodies with each other. Junpei rested his arms at Tsukushi's waist pulling her body closer to him. All the while Tsukushi swayed her hips and her body making her much more desirable for Junpei.

Sensing she needed that other drink, Tsukushi released Junpei's grip and distanced herself from him.

"I'll go to the bar and have another drink okay?" Tsukushi explained politely.

"Ok. I'll be waiting for you here sexy.." Junpei replied seductively.

She approached the bar and the bartender served her other shot glass of tequila. She gulped it down in one mouthful and felt the heat traveling her body again. 'Dancing with that guy sure was fun, it seems like I felt the desire again I haven't felt for so long when Tsukasa changed..' she thought. Her thinking was suddenly cut off short when Junpei wrapped his arms around Tsukushi trapping her body.

"Hey! Get off!" screamed Tsukushi.

"Hey hey hey, you look so sexy tonight Tsukushi.. I can tell by your moves that you want me, so let's cut out all the chit chat and get into what we really want to do tonight.." whispered Junpei.

"Hhmm.. Okay, do you know what I really want?" Tsukushi said as she spun around facing Junpei.

"What?" he said as he relaxed his embrace around her.

Tsukushi pushed Junpei back a few centimeters away and quickly punched him in the nose. The crowd and the bartenders were shocked by what Tsukushi did, mainly because they saw how intimate they danced before.

"That's what I want to do you idiot!" snarled Tsukushi.

Junpei lay near the dance floor clutching his bleeding nose. "What the hell!"

Tsukushi stood looking at the bloodied face of Junpei feeling sorry that she felt desire for this guy. Rui stood in front of Tsukushi and asked her thoughtfully.

"Is your hand okay?"

"Yup! Actually it felt good.." smiled Tsukushi.

"You.. Get out before I destroy your face off.." Rui said as he turned to the cursing Junpei. Junpei stood up and left the bar swearing curses at his luck tonight.

"Where's Tsukasa?" asked Rui. Feeling alarmed at what Tsukushi is doing.

"I don't know and I don't care.." Tsukushi said as she swallowed down another shot of tequila.

"Hey.. You're drinking a lot.. You know you can't handle alcohol that much.. What's wrong?"

After Tsukushi drank another shot, tears fell from her eyes uncontrollably. Rui wiped them off and let Tsukushi explain to him what happened.

"I saw him… Making out with another girl.." sobbed Tsukushi.

"What did he say when he saw you?" Rui replied calmly. He knew that something was going on but he's not sure if that act was part of it.

"He said it was because he drank, he couldn't control himself and that I was flirting with other guys…" she continued as tears flowed from her eyes again.

"What do you feel?" replied Rui. But still he's trying to act calm for Makino, because right now he wants to punch Tsukasa now for hurting her like this.

"I don't know! I'm angry because after that scene he talked with that Victoria! His voice became friendly all of a sudden.."

"Victoria? The blond girl he worked with?"

Tsukushi nodded and ordered another shot, after she drank it all up again, she muttered "Rui…"

"What is it?"

"I know I should feel angry at Tsukasa, that I must feel betrayed by what he did but I'm not feeling like that.."

"What do you mean?"

"I just realized that maybe it's my fault that he did that.."

Rui just stared at Tsukushi and didn't utter a word.

"I know he loves me and that he was just busy with work and school and I'm selfish because all I think and do are all for myself.."

"Selfish? In what way?" asked Rui.

"I.. I felt jealous because he wasn't doing things he did before.. I became jealous and doubtful of Tsukasa with this Victoria even though they haven't done anything wrong.. I easily jumped into this conclusion that something might be going on between them even if there is no actual proof.."

"and because of my silly stupid assumption I planned this act of wearing this and flirting with guys as revenge for something that was never there in the first place.."

"But as I saw him making out with someone something inside me exploded, I was jealous yes.. Angry at him also.. But I felt that I'm the one to blame. I'm his girlfriend, I'm the one who's supposed to be there, who should be doing those things to him.."

"For a while, I was kinda giving him signs that I want him to be back to the way we were before, like how intimate we were but he's not doing things he knew would lead to "it". He knew I wouldn't want to do it because he knew I'm still not ready. He's been holding back and now because of that strange girl and that alcohol he made out with her. It's because of me Rui…"

"I think you now know what you have to do Tsukushi.."

"Yes.. I need to talk to him.." smiled Tsukushi. Talking to Rui usually brings out all the things that she should've done before, and it makes her realize a lot of things. "Thanks Rui.."

"You know that I'm always here for you right?" Rui said as he patted her head. "By the way, he left a few minutes ago.."

"Whaat? Where did he go to? He left with that strange girl??" shouted Tsukushi. 'I can't believe he left without even telling me!'

"Nope. He was all alone, and it looks like he's in a hurry.. You better leave now if you want to catch him.."

Tsukushi quickly slapped a few bucks on the table for the drinks she ordered. "Thanks Rui!" she said as she ran towards the exit

"Good luck Tsukushi.." muttered Rui as he turned his back and faced the bar again.

As Tsukushi exited the bar, she found Tsukasa's limo parked in front of her with his driver at it's door.

"Miss Makino Tsukushi.." bowed the driver.

"Eeh.. Where's Tsukasa?" Tsukushi asked the driver.

"The young master took a taxi saying he has some urgent affairs in the office young miss. He strictly ordered me to take you home.." stated the driver.

"Oh.. okay…" she said as she entered the limo.

On the way back to the mansion, Tsukushi couldn't deny herself any longer. Seeing Tsukasa making out with someone else made her jealous because she should be the one on that position. She should be the only one who gets to kiss him like that. 'I admit I really miss him.. I miss his kisses, his hugs, everything..' 'Tonight Tsukasa, you will only be mine..'

Tsukasa arrived at his office and quickly turned on his computer for the emergency video conference. He talked with Victoria and the manager of the segment line that was affected. They found out that a huge amount of finished products were below the level of quality and some of them are already in transport to costumers.

"Call the shipping lines and hold the shipment, tell them to bring back every product." ordered Tsukasa.

"But sir.."

"No buts.. We have worked with those shipping lines for a long time now, surely this one little favor wouldn't be a burden to them right?

"Well yes sir.."

"Good. Tell them that there was only a mixed order and we need to get the products back, after that, rework those products so that they exceeded their previous quality level. Do you understand?"

"Yes sir.." as the manager hung up.

"Thanks Doumyoji.." muttered Victoria as they were the only ones on the line now.

"It's okay. Anyway I have to go; it's late here in Japan already."

"Ok. Bye.."

"Bye."

Tsukasa slumped back in his chair massaging his forehead. This problem really gave him a headache, add up the brandy he took and his thoughts of Tsukushi turned out his headache into a migraine.

He took a taxi and wearily thought of what he's going to say to Tsukushi once he arrives at the mansion.

"Yo Rui! What the hell are you doing alone here?" Soujiro said as he patted Rui at the back. "Where are Makino and Tsukasa?"

"They left."

"Whaat? They left us here alone?"

"Told you something's going to happen tonight!" exclaimed Akira nudging Soujiro.

"Anyway I'm off. I'm sleepy already." yawned Rui.

"Okay I'm coming with you, Yuuki's going to kill me if I arrived late at class tomorrow.." motioned Soujiro.

"You guys are going to leave me here?? Then I'm coming home too!" appealed Akira.

"Fine." Rui said as he and the F2 exited the bar.

Tsukushi arrived at the mansion and went straight to her room, she put her ear into the door that leads to Tsukasa's room and she hasn't heard a sound. 'Seems like he's still not here..' She went to the bathroom and fixed her hair and face. She wiped off her dried tears; some of her eyeliner ran from her eyes and cheeks. 'I look miserable..' she thought. She washed her face removing her make-up and applied loose powder on it. She felt refreshed and went back to her room as she heard Tsukasa's door slam in the hallway.

"Good, he's here.." she said as she walked to the door that connects their rooms and quietly turned it's knob. It budged and she went into Tsukasa's room.

"Tsukasa.." greeted Tsukushi as she saw Tsukasa walking towards the bathroom his shoulders slumped from all that happened.

"Tsukushi!" said a shocked Tsukasa. "What are you doing here?"

"I need to talk to you.."

Tsukasa wearily sat on his bed and said "Listen Tsukushi…I—"

"It's not your fault!" blurted Tsukushi cutting Tsukasa's statement.

"What?"

"I'm not blaming you for what happened.. I understand.." stated Tsukushi.

"Tsukushi.. What I did….. I let it happen because I'm a man and I couldn't control anymore.. There's no one to blame but me. Don't blame yourself okay? Anyway it's getting late, you should get some sleep already.." muttered Tsukasa. He was telling the truth, and seeing Tsukushi like this taking the blame is hard on his part. He hurt her by making out with Umi and now she wants to take the blame is tearing his heart into pieces by the sharpest knife of guilt.

"What the hell is wrong with you Tsukasa?!" questioned Tsukushi, her anger slowly rising.

"I'm tired Tsukushi.." said Tsukasa as he laid in his bed closing his eyes. But in fact he's not sleepy at all; he just wanted to avoid looking at Tsukushi any longer. He's afraid that if she stays at his room a lot longer looking like that he might do something he knew he shouldn't. His plan was to avoid doing to Tsukushi the things that might lead into having sex with her, because he knew that maybe he can't control himself anymore and force himself into Tsukushi. He doesn't want to hurt her by doing that.

"Tired? Tell me the truth Tsukasa, are you tired of me?!" retorted Tsukushi her voice a little high than before.

"No of course not you baka!"

"Then why are you like that huh??!" shouted Tsukushi. She couldn't take it anymore, she wanted him to treat her like the way he did before. 'Before he met this Victoria?' she thought.

"Nothing! Now go back to your room Tsukushi, we need some sleep!" gruntled Tsukasa as he flopped down into his bed and closed his eyes. 'I can't take this anymore Tsukushi.. I don't want to do anything that would make you hate me..' 'Self-control.. self-control.. self-control..' he recited over and over again in his mind.

"You stupid stupid JERK!!" growled Tsukushi. Instead of the usual Tsukushi where times like this would surely make her cry, this time she's not afraid anymore. She'll take matters into her own hands and a new level of determination rose within her.

Tsukasa sat up his bed shocked at Tsukushi's reaction. 'Shit! Looks like I overdid it..' he thought.

Seeing that she got Tsukasa's attention she went on and walked towards him. "Tell me Tsukasa.. Don't you like me anymore?" asked Tsukushi as she stood at the foot of the bed and exactly in front of Tsukasa staring into him. She didn't wait for his answer and immediately followed up another question. "Don't you like this anymore Tsukasa?" she said as she ran her hand from the back of her neck down to her right breast and resting it there. She kneaded it a little bit making sure he sees it and was glad because she could see Tsukasa forming a blush on his cheeks.

"You said you had fun hanging out with this Victoria right?" Tsukushi continued, pausing for a while before she unhooked the strap of her dress.

Tsukasa couldn't utter a single word ever since Tsukushi asked him a question and he never got the chance to answer it as he was transfixed at her eyes looking like she's pleading for something. He felt time slowed down when she ran her hand from her neck and placed it in her breast, kneading it too. 'Of course I like that Tsukushi! I want the whole of you..' he felt his mind answer, but he couldn't say it. 'Now she unhooked her strap, what the hell is she doing?!'

After she unhooked the strap of her dress, Tsukushi proceeded to unzip her dress' zipper. 'I mustn't be ashamed now…' she thought, a little overwhelmed by her sudden sensuality. "What do you think about this Tsukasa?" she said as she removed her dress and let it fall completely to the floor. She exposed herself to Tsukasa wearing her strapless black lace bra and black lace thong panty.

"Is this what Victoria did when you guys were having fun?" continued Tsukushi, seductively taunting a frozen Tsukasa.

"n-n-no…" he weakly replied. 'Tsukushi's almost naked! Here! In my room! Why is it that my strength is failing right now? I'm getting weaker and weaker by the minute!'

"Oh.. Well maybe this is what she did when you guys were having fun.." stated Tsukushi as she walked towards the high curtains and took the ribbons that tie them together. The curtains fell blocking the moonlit night from view. She took two ribbons and slowly walked over to Tsukasa. She intentionally dropped one of the ribbons on the floor and said "Oops, dropped it.." while she bended over to pick the ribbon making sure Tsukasa could see and view the upper half of her breasts rising from her bra. As she stood up again, she knew that Tsukasa was looking at her, not directly at her face but to where she wanted him to fix his eyes on. She hopped into the bed, crawled and kneeled in between Tsukasa's legs. She ran her forefinger along Tsukasa's shirt and said "My my, aren't you a little overdressed?".

Tsukasa, still in shock over what he is seeing and experiencing right now could only nod his head at Tsukushi's question.

She grabbed the hem of Tsukasa's shirt and pushed it upwards removing it from his body and tossing it to the floor. "It's better now, right Tsukasa?" asked Tsukushi, a little excited as she revealed his manly body for her to see. "Now.. Let's see if this is FUN for you..." she said, putting emphasis on the word fun. She took one of the ribbons and tied it around Tsukasa's right arm, the other end of it; she tied to one of the posts on Tsukasa's headboard.

Tsukasa sensing that Tsukushi is tying his arm on his bedpost went a little back to his sanity and said "W-What are you doing?". He couldn't just look at her seeing how she looked like now!

"I just needed something to tame the bad lion.." she said as she flashed one of her innocent smiles.
