CHAPTER FOURTEEN: A Vacation in Europe

Eitouku High
Friday, 3:00 pm
Tsukushi and Yuki were in the library and doing their assignment, well Yuki was, while Tsukushi was leaning on the table that they were occupying and she was just doodling on her notebook. She was listening to music via her latest cellphone while Yuki was already frowning with researching from various books.
She was humming along the song as she doodles when Yuki sighed and looked up to her friend, "You know if you're really that bored, you can leave already you don't have to wait up for me." Yuki said a little louder for Tsukushi to hear.
"Hmm….no, I'll stay here, it's our research assignment anyway, at least I'm supporting you by being physically here…" she grinned.
"Tsukushi, you're a lazy bum."
"What? Never noticed it before?" Tsukushi frowned jokingly.
"No, because you're covering it earlier with bringing lots of books."
"Hey, I love to read, I just hate to write what I read."
Yuki rolled her eyes, "Anyway, want to tell me what happened last week, you know, after your prince charming carried you?"
"Nothing you want to know."
"C'mon, I'm your best friend." Yuki poked her on the rip side of her Eitoku shirt.
"Nothing really," Tsukushi tried to swat her friend's poking fingers away from her as she backed away from the long chair. "We stopped by a grocery store and he bought me a pads and ice scream, odd huh."
"I say, it's sweet."
"Anyway, that was it then he carried me till we reached my room and then he went to his room. It's not like I need him to change me or anything." Her eyes widened in mock horrified. "That'll be unthinkable!"
Yuki's eyes became starry, "Kawaii, how I hope my boyfriend would do that for me too!"
Tsukushi tugged her friends hair playfully, "How can that be when you, Miss, has no boyfriend whatsoever yet."
"Well, I think Soujirou looks good and he seems nice."
"Maybe when he's asleep." Tsukushi commented dryly.
Yuki glared at her.
"What? That's the truth. The guy is a numero uno play boy. He won't change."
"A girl can dream you know." Yuki said as she started tickling her again. Tsukushi started backing up again.
"Well, more like nightmare…hahaha…hey…stop it!" she said as now they made some laughing noises and their stance became a jedi fighting while their still sitting. The librarian was already looking at them annoyingly. "The force shall be with me…hehe…" Tsukushi played along as she swished her pen against Yuki's.
"I shall win the battle…obiwan…" Yuki played along as they went on the edges of the seat.
Tsukushi backed away and with the final swing of her pen giving some force to her arms, Yuki ducked and she went off balance and ended up falling on the floor with a loud thud. She pouted as Yuki laughed, but she came falling down backwards also as she couldn't help her laughter.
"Please be quiet!" the librarian hissed lightly.
Yuki made a face before she went back to her seat. Tsukushi was about to do the same when a shadow loomed above her, she looked up.
"What, catching some frogs?"
"The only frog I'm seeing around is you Tsukasa." Tsukushi bantered back before she automatically grabbed Tsukasa's arm on his side and tugged on it for her to get up. "What brings you all here? Was there a miracle so you guys decided to study?"
"Very funny."
"Hahaha…"
"Actually," Soujirou said as he sat on a chair, "We're here to check out pretty and smart girls." He turned to Yuki and winked. Yuki blushed.
"Or maybe," Akira then said with a playful grin, "We're here to pick up some walking trash…" then he looked directly at the grungy looking Tsukushi.
"Are you talking about me?" she raised her brow.
"Yeah, actually, you need a fashion make over and we decided to take matter in our own hands." Soujirou smirked.
"That's really sweet but you know, people buy magazines and fashion people paid me money because of my looks."
The playboy duo raised their brow as Rui stared on nothingness after he sat and she wrapped her arms around Tsukasa's waist.
"Really?" they both asked in unison. "Who would be in their right mind…"
"Tell them Kasa…" she kissed him on his chin.
Tsukasa smiled before turning to his friends, "She's right, she poses for BEAT magazine wearing her original signature clothing as punk."
"BEAT? As in BEAT!" Sakurako mused with surprise as she came towards the group discussing Tsukushi's fashion sense. "Wow, how lucky! Everyone loves buying it, too bad I'm just a new collector that was why I didn't get to have a copy where you were featured." She marveled. "This is amazing, my friend is a model from BEAT!"
"Hey, I never thought it's that big a deal, I mean I only do that for fun. Can you believe I got to go everywhere without me paying anything, hah."
"But you can afford to go anywhere you want, ne?"
"But still, the best things in life are free."
"Yeah," Yuki suddenly cut in with a smile. "Like you being carried by Tsukasa along the hallway of Eitoku…"
Tsukushi glared at her friend.
"What! Tsukasa carried you!" Sakurako stared at Tsukushi with envy.
"Yah, he did."
"Oh I'm so super jealous!"
Tsukushi shrugged, "You can ask Tsukasa to carry you…" she said with a grin.
"Yeah," Tsukasa agreed with a sarcastic look, "And I'll dump her directly to the trash can."
The F3 laughed while Rui was checking out his cellphone.
"Hmmph!" Sakurako made a face before sitting next to Yuki. "It's not like you're god's gift to women!"
Tsukasa just laughed.
Tsukushi rolled her eyes and tugged on Tsukasa's arms before she turned to her friends, "Well, excuse us guys, later." Then she walked away with Tsukasa.
"Where are they going?" Soujirou asked to nobody with a frown. They were all looking at them walking up on the next floor of the library and then gone from their sight.
Yuki shrugged with a mischievous smile, "What do you think a couple will do in an unseen part of this huge library."
Akira cradled his head on top of his arms as it rested on the table. "Make out session."
On the last corner of the library…..
Tsukushi went through a lot of maze from the libraries shelves and stopped when she think they were not visible enough to people's eyes. (Remembering a scene from Prince and Me, already?). As they stopped, they embraced each other and started kissing while their hands roam around each others body.
Tsukasa was surprised at first but it changes when he started leading their make out session.
They stumbled all around the place as they couldn't keep on one place too long and they happened to knock off some books in the process. A student came by to look for a book but fled out of there suddenly with nervousness as he saw them making out and seeing it was the F4's leader.
"Hmm….you're unpredictable, Tsukushi…" Tsukasa said in between kisses as he moaned.
"Shut up and make a good use of your mouth…." She said as she finally took Tsukasa's shirt off and just dropped it just about anywhere. Her hands probe on his chest and played on his bud as it hardened to pebbles. Tsukushi kissed him on the neck and down on his chest and suck on his harden nipples.
Tsukasa sucked his breath, his hands tightened on his fiance's waist. One of his hands trailed up inside Tsukushi's a little ripped shirt and fondled her breast. It was Tsukushi's turn to gasp as he tweaked her buds. Tsukushi's head snapped up and kissed him once again, Tsukasa lifted Tsukushi's shirt already. One of Tsukushi's legs was already around Tsukasa's waist.
She was about to open his fly when they were startled with the sudden ringing of her cellphone.
"What the-?" Tsukasa frowned.
Tsukushi grinned, "It's my phone, just wait…" she then pushed the talk button and placed it before her ear. "Hello…this better be good?"
"Hello, Kushi…" a female voice answered on the next line. "It's Chinny…"
"Hey! What's up? I never thought I'll hear from you again!" her eyes suddenly widened for a while. "What! Really! Oh my god! Okay, I'll see you later. Bye!" she then pushed the end button and after tucking it inside her jean pocket she turned to a pouting Tsukasa. "Hey sweetie, don't pout. And guess what? I've got a good news…"
"Who's on the line anyway?"
"Remember Chinny, BEAT's editor?"
Tsukasa nodded.
"She called because she has a new project for me, and not just about any project, she'll be sending me to Europe and model there with the others since a certain Parisian designer have some copies of BEAT where I was the model and she thinks I'll fit right in!" she babbled excitedly.
Tsukasa frowned, "You mean you'll fly to Europe alone?"
Tsukushi nodded ecstatically, "I'll be there for a while only though, maybe a few weeks only."
Tsukasa grabbed his shirt on the floor, "Looks like you already decided for yourself," then he walked away.
"Tsukasa!" she called after him before she sighed.
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
BEAT Office
Editor's room
5:00 pm, same day
"So, how's the engagement going on for you?" Chinny said in a teasing manner after she sipped from her champagne.
"It's fine, and Tsukasa and I are getting along well…." She started, she was looking out of the window, her hands both behind her torn jeans' pocket. "….fine before you called earlier…" then she faced her friend with a mock glare.
"I take it I disturb something, eh?"
Tsukushi plopped down on one of the plush seat, "You could say that…"
"He'll come around, as you say, you two are becoming close day by day…"
"I want to hear you say that some weeks after my Europe tour." She sipped from her wine as she eyed a recent release magazine before raising her brow and looking at her friend. "I never thought you're a fan of your rival's magazine?"
Chinny snorted, "Of course not! I just bought that dang thing for something else. Anyway, you see their new model." Tsukushi nodded. "Well, she should have been working here but those damn idiots pirated her from us! The nerve!" she finished up her drink. "I heard that they're planning on talking to you since you never appeared for some months now at BEAT and they thought that you're not working for me anymore." Chinny huffed.
"So that's why you gave me a job in an instant, eh." Tsukushi was amused rather than irate.
"You're wrong dear. The fashion company in Europe really asked for you. They said that your expressions and fashions are all you, like you don't pretend and all that. Believe it that they called and e-mailed a few times just to make sure that I send you there." Then her eyes sparkled. "And let me tell you that they're ready to pay millions!"
"You know I don't care about the money, especially when I have to choose between the millions and my marriage with Tsukasa…" she pouted.
Chinny nodded with a thought, "You're right, when just marrying a Doumyouji, you'll get a lot of billions under your name."
"Whatever, you and your obsessions with money!" she said sarcastically.
"Hey, it makes the world go round!"
"Not for me." Tsukushi sighed. "Anyway, if you want money so much, why don't you marry some rich guy?"
Chinny made a face, "Duh! As if! I mean, the only guy I'll marry is if he's like your fiancé!"
Tsukushi stuck her tongue out, "Well, sorry for you coz there's only one of him and I got the guy!"
"And it sucks! At least for me!"
"The only way for you to grab a guy like him is to snag one of the F3." Tsukushi suggested. "At least they're sooo near in Tsukasa's caliber."
"Yeah, except for Rui being indifferent and so into that Shizuka chick, Akira having a penchant for older women, and Soujirou being a super playboy! No thanks a lot!"
"You sure is picky!"
"I'm not!"
"You are too, well, if you want some guy who'll only have eyes for you." Tsukushi bit her lips in thoughts before she smiled. "Why don't you go out with that guy, what's his name again? Ahh…Shuichi…"
"Pfuff! The guy is like Rui, hello!" Chinny's eyes widened.
"In that case, you'll be alone for a long time."
Before Chinny could banter back, a knock on the door disturbed their chat. "Come in," she called, "Yes?" Chinny asked her secretary after the lady was in.
"You have a visitor, a certain good-looking guy named Shuichi…" the secretary said, heart could be seen flying in her eyes.
"Hah…speak of the devil…..let him in." when the secretary was gone, Chinny grabbed Tsukushi's plane ticket and some complimentary pocket money. "Here, and before you turn us down, think about it. The flight will be three days from now."
Tsukushi was about to open the door when Shuichi came in, a bunch of flowers in his hands. "Heyya, I'm Tsukushi, friend of Chinny."
Shuichi nodded with a smile.
"Not much of a talker huh, well, see you guys later….." then she winked at her friend. "Don't do anything I wouldn't do!" she said before she left, she chuckled hearing her friend's retaliation. As she went out of the building, she wondered why Chinny won't like Shuichi when he's totally hot! If she has no feelings for Tsukasa now, or if it's earlier she'll probably snag that guy for herself. She shrugged it off, knowing her friend, she was just playing it hard to get before she gives in, she smirked at the thought.
When Tsukushi reached her car she looked up at the sky, 'Hmm…it's still early, maybe a trip to the casino would be fun." She hopped on her car and headed for Royal Casino.
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Doumyouji Mansion
Tsukushi's room
8:00 am, the next day
Tsukushi came home late yesterday from the casino since she enjoyed herself from playing poker and even won, without even cheating. But that didn't mean that nobody got annoyed with her luck especially the total losers of the game. At first, the guards won't let her in since they recalled what she did a few weeks back but she got in anyway, though when she arrived home, it was another story since Tsukasa was having a fit and yelling where she has been and telling her that he has been damn worried sick! Well, whatever. As if to taunt him more, she waved her plane ticket in front of him that sends Tsukasa to yelling and thrashing before walking off.
And now, Tsukushi lazily opened her eyes before she sat up and stretched her arms. She walked to the bathroom to wash up before going to her mini-ref and shuffling as she looked for food. Once finished, she ended up carrying to her bed a two piece of cheese muffins, mango yogurt, and chocolait drink. She plopped down in the middle of her bed before grabbing the remote control and switching the TV on.
But not very long, after shuffling from channel to channel where most of the news were, well, about her and Tsukasa's relationship and the appearance she made last night at the Royal Casino without disguising. She even frowned when the media already knew her soon-to-flight for Europe. How did they knew that, baffled her. After finishing one of her muffins and deciding that there was nothing on the TV that interests her, she shut it off. Instead she reached for her battered-yet-still-stable looking red guitar. She settled it on her lap before strumming.
On the other side of her connecting door, Tsukasa just got inside his room from his morning jog and some small business he went to. He smirked at the thought, boy she'll be surprise. When he walked further to his room, he heard the soft sounds of his fiance's voice and music from her guitar. He grinned, maybe this is the right time to tell her the good news, well, good for him anyway.
He walked to the connecting door and opened it after fishing something on his wallet.
Tsukushi looked up as she heard the connecting door opened with a silent creak. She raised her brow when she saw her smiling fiancé. "What's gotten into you?"
"Oh nothing…" he answered as he walked to her and sat beside her then he gave Tsukushi a morning kiss. Tsukushi accepted the kiss as she kissed him back. When they separated and Tsukushi was still looking at him with curiosity, Tsukasa grinned before waving something in front of her face.
Tsukushi's eyes widened.
What Tsukasa waved in front of her was a plane ticket for him and two more different tickets.
"What…I mean….wow….you're coming with me!" she asked excitedly.
Tsukasa nodded. "So, you don't have to think everything twice, I know you want to go too…and I know that it looks like I'm the one who's stopping or preventing you from going," then he shrugged. "That's why I'm coming instead."
Tsukushi laughed as she jumped on Tsukasa and hugged and kissed him, they ended up lying on the bed, Tsukushi was sprawled on top of him, "I swear we're so going to have a good time!"
"Right, especially when I got an advance ticket for the Linkin Park's concert in Paris, I know you like their songs." (Of course I only made the concert up. It's for the plot, you'll see). Tsukasa stated as he again waved the two other tickets.
Tsukushi shrieked, "Omigod!" she kept on wailing with excitement, Tsukasa winced slightly with every small jumps she was attempting and ending up dropping on him. "I'm gonna see Linkin Park!"
Tsukasa raised his brow, "You're a Makino and yet you never saw that band before, you could have ask their manager for you to see them personally, money can do everything sweetie."
"Well, not like you, mister. I barely got some spare times and it's not like mom and dad would allow me to go to what they called a "gangster concert" or something like that." She pouted before she smiled, "I guess this is one of the good things of being engage with you…"
"You got that right." Tsukasa said smugly, Tsukushi punched him playfully before kissing him. The guitar and breakfast forgotten.
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
