1AN: I actually feel like updating again... Well, that's because I am waiting for this game to officially open x3. My internet is being evil again and it keeps disconnecting so eugh. I am starting to disconnect every two minutes. What the heck...
"What do you mean by that? Are you not doing your job properly?" The woman on the other end yelled.
"I am doing the best I can. It's just that the weed won't let go," Yuri stated calmly.
"That poor girl is still after him? Hmph," Kaede began to think of a plan...
Yuri and Kaede began to discuss about various things involving the separation of Tsukasa and Tsukushi.
"Tsukasa, I have some things to talk to you about," Kaede said.
"What do you want? I have nothing to talk to you about," Tsukasa growled. He is still in a bad mood and didn't feel like seeing anyone.
"You must not be so impolite to anyone, including me. I am your mother and you have to respect me," Kaede said cooly.
"If you have nothing else to say, please leave," Tsukasa gritted his teeth.
"Why must you still think about that poor, dirty girl?" Kaede asked.
"Who are you talking about? Tsukushi? I'm not still thinking about her," Tsukasa said.
"It's no use lying to me. Love is not stable and cannot last forever. Power, however is much more useful," Kaede declared.
"I left her this time. Shouldn't you take that as a sign that I don't care about her anymore?" Tsukasa said angrily. Talking about Tsukushi was making him angry and frustrated.
"I do hope that's true. Thinking about that girl is no use anymore. She's only interested in your money. And oh, do consider Yuri as your future wife. She's excellent and is the total opposite of that gold digger you always hanged out with," With that, Kaede left.
"Stupid witch! How dare she suggest Yuri to me?! Who does she think she is... Yuri and that witch are in cahoots... I just know it!" Tsukasa grumbled to himself as he paced around his room angrily.
"Hmph. That silly boy will come out of it and know that Yuri is his perfect match. With Yuri, he can never go wrong. And she'll make sure that he stops thinking about that gold digger. He's just thinking about her right now," Kaede watched from outside. Thoughts raced across her head as she watched her own son looking very angry.
"Tsukasa!" Tsubaki screamed into her brother's ear.
"...Yes?" Tsukasa winced painfully as he held his cell phone away from his ear.
"You better come pick up Tsukushi today at three o'clock in the afternoon. The whole bunch of them are coming back from their vacation today. It's a perfect opportunity to get back with Tsukushi," Tsubaki declared happily.
"Um... Nee-chan?" Tsukasa mumbled.
"Don't you dare say you won't do it! I would be there but I am not available right now. You have no good reason to back out of it anyway," Tsubaki yelled angrily through her phone.
"I... I already said I am not with her anymore. Why should I go? It's going to look like I'm the loser," Tsukasa said a bit angrily.
"Oh please, you and your stupid pride always get in the way of things. She's not the only one that'll be there. Soujiro, Rui, Akira, and Yuki would be with her too," Tsubaki rolled her eyes.
"I'll have you know that I'm only going to the airport at that time because of Rui, Soujiro, and Akira. Nobody else," Tsukasa said.
"Of course," Tsubaki hanged up, happy.
Rui was standing at the same spot they were at for an hour already. He was waiting for Tsukasa to come because Tsubaki had notified him that he'll be there. However, with what Tsukasa had said to him about Tsukushi, he had serious doubts that Tsukasa would actually come.Besides, he thought to himself, why am I even waiting for him to come? It's not like I want Tsukasa to be together with Tsukushi anymore. Not with the way he had treated her ...
"Rui, there you are!" Tsukasa yelled, relieved as he ran toward his direction.
"What do you want anyway?" Rui said coldly. "Have you already forgotten what you had said to me a few days ago?"
"I...I'm so–" Just as Tsukasa was about to apologize (oO Straaange) , he was cut off.
"Rui, let's go already. I'm done buying snacks and using the bathroom..." Tsukushi trailed off when she saw Tsukasa standing there.
Her jaw dropped open and she just gaped at him. Tsukasa felt like reaching over and closing her mouth shut. Is she this happy to see me?... Or is she just too shocked at the fact that I'm actually here again?
Rui noticed Tsukushi's face and he quickly said, "We should go already. Let's go, guys" He told the other people to stand up from their seats.
"I... I hope you had fun at your vacation," Tsukasa mumbled, turning red. He was not used to being so polite.
"No thanks to you, we did," Tsukushi said acidly. She brushed coldly by him.
"I–I didn't mean it when I said you were leftovers and that you weren't important–" Tsukasa stuttered and was cut off sharply.
"It doesn't matter anymore. I've given up on you," Tsukushi said as she took Rui by his arm and walked away.
"Stupid, I'm actually trying to apologize to you and you just dismiss me like that? No manners at all!" Tsukasa yelled.
"Since when do you care about manners, Mr. Doumyoji? You never did. What made you start to care about being nice and polite to people?" Tsukushi yelled back angrily.
By now, everyone was staring at the two angry fireheads. They practically had smoke coming out of their ears and looked like they were ready to kill each other.
"Come on, Makino. Let's go," Rui said gently, trying to get Tsukushi to forget about Tsukasa.
"Yes, let's go to your home for a cup of tea," Tsukushi said loudly, trying to aggravate Tsukasa.
"Grr..." Tsukasa growled angrily.
Here he had come so far just to see her, and he gets dismissed and even gets a date with Rui? The witch was right... I need to forget about her. She's becoming a gold digger, just like what she had said. Tsukasa knew deep down that Tsukushi was not a gold digger at all but because he was such a hot head, he kept saying bad things about Tsukushi the whole way he walked home. (Dear me, he actually walks? OO )
