Unknown Love

Disclaimer: HYD doesn't belong to me.
A/N: About Lily and Rui doing 'it', that didn't happen. Rui just kissed her and held her close all night. (I'm trying my best to keep the story rating at PG-13, in case there's any kiddies out there reading this fic)
Summary: 22-year old Lily Tsukushi Carter had lived in U.S. all her life, as far as she knew. But she got a past that she vaguely remembered. Only her mother, and step-father knew about her past, but they are not telling anything. AU of HYD.
Chapter 21
Tsukasa slammed the phone shut. Lily didn't answer his phonecalls again, and that stupid secretary of hers told him that Lily had taken a week's leave.
"Damn it!" he said to himself.
*******
Meanwhile, Lily gazed at the scenery rolling by.
"Can't believe it's spring already," she said to herself.
Rui turned when he heard her. "Ei?" he asked.
"When you confessed your love to me, it's winter, and when I was in a limo with Domyouji Tsukasa, it is late autumn," Lily said.
"Rui, sometimes I feel, I've seen these scenery before," Lily continued. But after that, she fell asleep.
Her head snaked it's way to lean on Rui's shoulders.
Rui gazed at the face that's now peacefully asleep.
'Fate had made me fall for two women with the same face,' Rui thought. 'But one of them unintentionally helped me forget one of them,'
Meanwhile, Lily's having a weird dream...
Lily find herself at a fishing village.
"Onee-chan, what are you doing here?" asked a boy.
"Susumu, where's otoosan and okaasan?" asked a girl.
Lily gasped, the girl looked just like her!
"Oh, they are over there, onee-chan," the boy answered.
"Tsukushi! What are you doing here?" asked the woman the girl referred to as Okaasan.
Lily gasped again, the woman looked just like her mother!
"You should be with Domyouji-sama!" 'Okaasan' shouted.
"Okaasan, I broke up with Domyouji," the girl or 'Tsukushi' said.
"What? If I knew you'd break up with him, I'd take that 5 million yen!" shouted 'Okaasan'.
******
Lily woke up with a start.
"What is it, Lily?" asked Rui.
"Rui, did Domyouji Kaede offered 5 million yen to Tsukushi to break up with Tsukasa?" asked Lily.
Rui thought for a while, and then, nodded.
"I dreamed about that just now," Lily answered. "I dreamed that Tsukushi met her brother, and her parents at a fishing village,"
"But the funny thing is, I'm always there, and not be Tsukushi," Lily continued. "It's like stepping into another person's memory,"
******
Yuuki had agreed to eat lunch with Shigeru that afternoon. The fact that she worked near Shigeru's building didn't help.
"How was your work, Yuuki?" asked Shigeru.
"It was fine," Yuuki replied. "Yesterday I came across a girl who looks like Tsukushi,"
"You mean Lily Carter," Shigeru said. "I know her, she's Tsukasa's fiancee,"
"I know that already," Yuuki replied. "She mentioned that to me, she seemed to want to know more about Tsukushi,"
"You mean she knew about Tsukushi?" asked Shigeru. "How can that be?"
"The girl mentioned that Domyouji mentioned Tsukushi's name while they were having sex," Yuuki answered drily.
"Tsukasa must have mentioned Tsukushi's full name, because Lily's Japanese name is Tsukushi," Shigeru reasoned.
"Who is she? Shigeru?" asked Yuuki. "Why do I feel that I've known her before?"
Shigeru shrugged ."Perhaps because she looked like Tsukushi?"
"No," Yuuki answered. "It's just that, I feel that, she *is* Tsukushi, minus the BMW and the expensive clothing, and perfume of course,"
"Yuuki, I felt the same thing when I first met her, but once you get to know her, you'd notice how different she is from Tsukushi," Shigeru replied.
Shigeru's phone rang.
"It's Tsukasa," Shigeru stated. "Moshi moshi,"
"Shigeru, is Lily there with you?" asked Tsukasa, who, from the sounds of it, was writing something on his desk.
"No," Shigeru answered. "I'm eating lunch with Yuuki at this moment, why?"
"Lily Carter did not show up for work today!" Tsukasa shouted. Shigeru had to place the phone slightly away from her ears when Tsukasa shouted.
"Really?" asked Shigeru, looking at her fingernails. "I thought that woman is hard working,"
"She's not at work, and when I went to her apartment, her car is there, but the security said 'Miss Carter is going on a week's holiday,'" Tsukasa answered her. "I've no idea where she is,"
"Calm down first," Shigeru instructed and asked, "Why don't you just ask your SP to find her?"
"Great idea," Tsukasa answered, and then hung up.
"Baka, as always," Shigeru said to herself.
"He is searching for her?" asked Yuuki.
Shigeru nodded. "He realised his mistake,"

~~Fishing village~~
"We are here, Lily," Rui said.
"Wow, what a nice beach," Lily said to herself, when she watched the scenery.
And then, Lily got herself another headache again.
"The headache coming, Lily?" asked Rui. Lily nodded weakly.
"Now, to go to the cemetary," Rui said to himself.
"Rui, the headache is becoming worse," Lily complained, and clutched her head.
"Okay, we'll go to the cemetary, and then return to Tokyo after that, okay?" asked Rui.
Lily nodded weakly.
******
~~At the cemetary~~
"Makino Hajime, a loving father," Lily read. "Makino Susumu, forever loved by mother and sister,"
"Makino Susumu..." Lily said to herself. "Rui,"
"Yeah?" asked Rui.
Rui noticed how sombre Lily is when she read the inscription on the tombstones.
"How did they die?" asked Lily softly, a hint of tears in her eyes.
'Why am I crying?' Lily asked herself. 'This man, and this boy. Why do I feel that the three of us has a connection, even though they were Makino Tsukushi's relatives?'
"I don't know," Rui answered. "My private investigator cannot find their graves at all,"
Lily took her phone, and called Kelvin.
"Kelvin, did you find out how the Makinos die?" asked Lily on the phone.
"Not yet, Miss Lily," Kelvin answered.
"Be sure to get them fast," Lily replied, and clicked off the phone.
"Makino Tsukushi?" asked a man.
"Huh?" asked Lily.
"Sorry, I mistook you for my dead friend," the man replied. "You look so much like her,"
"I see that you are visiting her father's and brother's graves, you must be a cousin of hers, eh?" asked the man.
Lily quickly nodded.
"How did they die?" asked Lily.
"A terrible car accident, Makino-san was dead on the spot, and so does Susumu," the man answered. "While, Tsukushi... she lingered for a while, in a coma, but after a few days, she too died,"
"Huh?" asked Rui. "But we received information from her mother that Tsukushi was dead on the spot,"
The man smiled weakly. "There's records of her in the local hospital, if you want to check,"
"Thanks," Lily replied. "We'd better be going,"
******
In the limo...
"I can sense that Tsukushi's mother was lying all these times," Rui said.
Lily's cell phone rang.
"Hello, Kelvin?" asked Lily.
"Miss Lily, did you bring your laptop with you?" asked Kelvin.
"I do, but I'm not connected," Lily answered.
"When you are connected to the net, Miss Lily, I'll be sending you more information about Makino Tsukushi, including her family photograph," Kelvin explained.
"Okay," Lily replied.
"But first, Lily," Rui said. "I think you should look at the place where Tsukushi once stayed in,"
Lily nodded.
******
First, they went to the old house where Tsukushi and her family used to stay.
"Rui, are they really this poor?" asked Lily.
Rui nodded.
"Then, how did she manage to enter Eitoku high?" asked Lily.
"She entered Eitoku by scrapping every cents her parents can get," Rui answered. "And by having two part-time jobs,"
"I can't believe somebody actually lived in this poor condition," Lily said to herself.
And again, her headache came back.
"Rui, my headache is coming back!" Lily complained. "It hurt too much,"
"Let's go back to your apartment," Rui suggested.
"No, I think Tsukasa is trying to find me, and that's the first place he will check," Lily replied.
"Let's go to my house then," Rui suggested. Lily nodded.
******
"Where could that onna be at this moment?" Tsukasa asked himself, and paced back and forth in his office.
"Not in the apartment, not with Shigeru, not with..." Tsukasa said to himself. "I might as well call up her parents in the US,"
Tsukasa picked up the phone, and began to dial the Carter Corporation number.
