Omigosh! You cannot believe how anxious I was for everyone's reviews yesterday! Honestly, maybe because it gets boring reading your stuff over and over again (which I did because for some reason chapter 5 was not coming out the way I wanted it to). So all in all I will once again thank those MARVELOUS, BADASS people who made my day (night): b . aka-chan, Illuminating-Darkness, forever angel, Saranghae-Minnie, and Spoutnik!

To b . aka -chan, Illuminating-Darkness, and forever angel: Thank you, thank you thank you! You have no idea how relieved I was when you guys said you all liked the chapter! You all rule! - moshes a little to awesome background music that comes on magically-

Saranghae-Minnie: As always I love your review and I will miss you if you go MIA (don't worry I understand)! I know how you feel, even though it's been like two weeks since my spring break disappeared D: Luckily Easter break is coming up so ;)!lol actually if you pay really close attention to this chapter, I included a little surprise (you'll understand what I mean when you get there). Yea, I just imagined Rui like 'huh?'; he and Tsukasa are the only ones that I could imagine forgetting the name of their fiancées. :D Once again thank you for your review and I hope you enjoy the chapter!

Tsukasa stared off into space, his feet resting on the gleaming coffee table in his bedroom. Why had Rui chosen a girl over him? Tsukasa understood that the girl was special to him, yes but for Rui to blow him off without considering the alternative? That girl must've already found a way to wrap his best friend around her grimy little fingers. Tsukasa looked down at his own manicured hand, remembering the impulse he had to grab Makino's hand again. He scoffed and shook the memory off; it had been an insane reaction due to being in a store full of diseased filled animals.

He laid his head back, sighing. For the first time since he was like.. three, Tsukasa wished his last name wasn't Domyoji.

Rui walked along side Makino, absolutely content. After that incident with Tsukasa they had gone to eat; Makino enjoyed her food to the point where she was laughably cute. Now they were on their way to a movie theater down the block from the restaurant. He smiled serenely and reached for Makino's hand which was cold in his own warm one. They rounded the corner and were about to make their way to get the tickets when something caught his eye. He stopped in his tracks and pulled Makino got pulled back,almost falling.

"What is it Ru...?"

Rui couldn't look back at her because he was staring at possibly the oddest sight on Earth. Sojiro was sitting on a bench and on his lap sat Makino's friend ,Yuuki - and it didn't look like either one was coming up for air soon. Sojiro had his hands around Yuuki's waist and Yuuki had her hands tangled in his hair. This in itself wasn't the odd part- Rui had long since gotten used to seeing Sojiro making out with girl; that in itself was inevitable. What he didn't understand though, was how they got together. After all they had only met that one time and even then they hadn't been formally introduced. From what Rui remembered he and his friends had just stared on as the two hugged and squealed.

Makino looked on as she felt a blush creep up her face. She had never seen her friend like this ,all mussed up and wrapped so...so... Intimately around someone. It was like she was a different person.

"Yuuki.."

Both parted reluctantly and her friend stared at her, a mixture of surprise and shock in her eyes.

"Ah.. Tsukushi.."

Her friend blushed while Sojiro shot something resembling a cocky smile towards Rui. Yuuki blushed deeper at seeing this and hastily got off Sojiro - or tried to; Sojiro's arm was still around her gave a nervous laugh, obviously expecting this to be the last place she'd ever see her friend.

"Hahaha.. So umm.."

She extricated herself from Sojiro's arm and fixing her slightly messed up clothes, walked over to Makino enveloping her in a hug. Makino responded in kind, mentally shaking her head at her best friend; she really shouldn't make out in public.

Rui walked over to Sojiro and with soft 'yo' sat down next to him, while Makino and Yuuki once again did something similar to what they were doing at the café. He smirked; he had long since given up trying to figure out why girls acted the way that they did around others of their he noticed something odd. There was a girl, not much older than him, dressed in all black, leaning casually on the wall- this was not abnormal, but was was abnormal was the fact that she was staring point blank in Makino's direction and snapping pictures of her with a minuscule camera. Rui got up from the bench abruptly and walked over to Makino, pulling her close from behind- close enough that only she could hear him.

"I think we're being followed. Can go see the movie now? I have a bad feeling about being outside."

Makino looked up at, apparently extremely confused, but nevertheless nodded. He locked hands with her and with short 'byes' and 'I'll talk to you later' they walked into the theater. Rui walked towards the counter and purchased two tickets for a comedy that had just come out. As he handed Makino the tickets, he caught sight of the same girl and grimaced. Who was having him followed? He bought them popcorn and towed Makino along towards the entrance to the theaters.

"Rui, that girl in all black- that's the girl you think is following us right?"

Rui turned to Makino and shooting a glance at the girl, who was going towards the door, nodded. Then his eyes widened as he saw the vehicle that the girl got into- it had his family's company seal on it.

"Someone from my family's company is following us; I don't know for what purpose, but she just left."

Makino's eyes widened and Rui pulled her in a close hug.

"It'll be okay...Everything is going to be fine."

Rui didn't know why, but the words even sounded hollow in his ears.

Tsukasa lay back on his bed, eyes covered by his arm. He had been trying to get those scornful eyes out of his mind for hours now- and utterly failed. He groaned as he heard his door opening but when he opened his eyes to look, there was no one. There was however a single rose petal on the floor; Tsukasa got up and was about to throw it away when he noticed its peculiar shape- it was a perfect heart.

He moved it closer to his face, inspecting it with the utmost scrutiny, searching for signs that this was unnatural. He turned around, about to lay back down onto his bed when he noticed something- his bed was no longer empty. On his bed was his sister. He gave a girlish shriek (though he'd never admit it), and when his sister began laughing, he turned red.

"Oy ne-chan! Don't sneak up on me like that!"

Tsubaki was red from laughing so hard, but slowly she was regaining her composure.

"What are you scared of Tsu-chan?"

"Don't call me that!"

He crossed his arms, scowling when she giggled again.

"What are you doing here anyways?"

She stopped laughing and smiled serenely.

"Just making sure that Japan's resident Godzilla hasn't destroyed Tokyo yet."

Tsukasa frowned at the comparison but nevertheless lay down beside his sister.

"You needn't have worried; I don't think I'm in shape to destroy anything right now."

He sighed and watched as his sister pulled out a single rose from behind her and placed it on his stomach.

"You're in love."

It wasn't a question. He sprung up, sending the rose flying.

"Huh? Me? The Almighty? In love?"

He scoffed, mentally wincing at the soft throb in his chest. No, he wasn't in love with that... No, he couldn't be in love. He had bigger problems to deal with.

"What's she like?"

"Who?"

"The girl you like?"

He got up off the bed and walked across the room, settling into the chair farthest from Tsubaki.

"I told you- I don't like anyone."

"My sources tell me otherwise..."

Tsukasa looked up, somewhat scared. Was his sister having him followed? If so had then had they seen what happened earlier with Makino and Rui?

"What sources?"

His voice was somewhat skeptical and he could've smacked himself- hard. He needed to control his tone around his sister- otherwise she would just leave back to the States leaving him to wonder who her source was.

"Let's call her S-chan for now; I don't trust you with any information because you're likely to hunt my source down and threaten them. Then where will I be?"

She gave another deceivingly serene smile and then leaned closer to him.

"So answer me: What's she like?"

Tsukasa stayed quiet; he wasn't going to answer because he wasn't in love and that was that.

"Judging by your silence she is either taken by one of your friends or just taken."

Tsukasa unconsciously winced at the former and Tsubaki's smile fell just a little. She shifted her weight uncomfortably then enveloped him in a hug.

"If I were you, I'd march over to her place, and tell her the truth. You never know, she might just choose you over Rui."

He pushed away from her and glared at her; so her source had seen the confrontation between him and Rui.

"What did your source see?"

"You walking through the zoo with a cute girl."

"And what makes you think that she's taken by Rui?"

Tsubaki smirked and tapped his forehead with her index finger.

"I've never seen you with such a serious face before Tsukasa.. If it were Akira or Sojiro, you would be at ease; Rui is the only one out of the bunch who take relationships seriously."

Tsukasa continued to glare at her; His sister was always so presumptuous when it came to his social life. He let the intensity of his glare drop just a bit, because this time his sister had hit the nail on the head. He was in love with a girl who loved his best friend- and there was nothing he could do about it.

Rui settled into his seat, lifting the armrest between him and Makino up so that she could lean on him, which she did. He smiled at the warmth radiating from her and not for the first time tonight was he glad that he had chosen her. The lights slightly dimmed and Rui wrapped an arm around her shoulder and then laid his head on top of hers, slightly mussing it which drew a jokingly irritated glance. He intertwined his fingers with hers and then looked up at the screen. All this felt so natural to him- as though he were Sojiro or Akira, with their plethora of experience. His heart beat somewhat faster than usual but he was sure that was because Makino was looking up at him, the cutest look on her face.

The movie started and with a wink towards his.. what was she? His date or his girlfriend? Before he could give it much thought, his attention was drawn to the slight buzzing in his pants pocket. He scowled, not wanting to ruin this moment for anything. He mentally shrugged; there were many things that he was unsure of, but that he loved Makino more than anything wasn't one of them.

"Goshuujin-sama, he is not picking up."

The red haired girl looked down, unsure of what was to follow. She had received orders from the master of the house to call the young master. She had called the young master, and his friends. His friends answered, but they claimed to not know where he was; Domyoji-sama hung up once the young master was mentioned.

"Call my assistant to me; I need to have a word with him."

Kieko winced visibly at her master's cold voice; he was always cold and unaffectionate, but he was always colder when it came to the young master. Kieko knew their relationship was strained, and she had a feeling in the very pit of her stomach that told her something big was going to happen in the Hanazawa household soon- and it wasn't going to be good.

"Hai, goshuujin-sama,"

Rui glanced at Makino for what seemed to be the umpteenth time; Makino had fallen asleep half an hour into the movie and he had to say, she was really cute asleep. Her entire face just seemed to glow with relaxation and that small furrow that formed between her brows when she was uncertain, confused or concerned seem to vanish and she looked younger.. more innocent if it was possible. He turned his attention back to the movie, which was slightly cheesy, when someone tapped his shoulder. His face turned to steel when he saw who it was.

"Bochamma, the master of your house requests your presence right away."

Rui stared at the man in front of him, coldness seeming to run through his veins. Of all the times that his father had to call on him!

"I'll be in later, my father will just have to wait till then."

The man, whom Rui vaguely remembered to be his father's assistant bowed formally and then made his way up the ramp that led to the exit of the theater. Makino stirred slightly, blinking sleepily and smiling confusedly at him.

"I fell asleep...?"

Rui just smiled in response and she laid her head back down onto his chest, sighing in contentment. Soon she was back asleep, Rui's smile becoming wider; he couldn't think of anything better than being Makino's personal pillow.

"R..rui.. suki..dai..yo.."

Rui's eyes widened and then became lidded with absolute happiness. He wrapped his arms around her and then leaned down to whisper in her ear; even if she was asleep, maybe just maybe his words would stay with her.

"I love you, Tsukushi.. more than life itself."

-dramatic announcer voice- What will Tsukasa do? Who is this mysterious girl? And who is this 'S-chan'? Will Makino remember Rui's words? And what will happen with Rui and his dad- all this and more on the next chapter of -dramatic music- Call It Fate!
