Disclaimer: Must I tell you again?

A/N: Hello!!! To all the people who read "I'll be there", this is my gift to all of you. What you have been waiting for. Drum roll please!!!!

The sequel!!!!

To the new folk who never read "I'll be there", I suggest that you read it because you might not understand some parts of this fanfic.

Anyway, this is the romantic and mushy continuation of "I'll be there". I was thinking of entitling it, "I'll Still be there"…but it sounded so corny and all…

Anyway…I might be wasting your time…so here goes!



Never Lose You Again

By green goddess

Chapter 1- Bonding as You Might Call It



Ever since Fuuko and Tokiya found out that they knew each other when they were kids, they had been much warmer to each other in some ways…STRICTLY… in some ways only because Tokiya was still Mr. Eskimo to her and Fuuko was still a wild jungle monkey to him.

But…they talked to each other more frequently…like five minutes or so…and they greeted each other…every so often.

Anyway…on with the real story…

****

It was a fine day; no clouds were in the sky, birds were chirping while perched on a tree, there were children laughing merrily…

All the people wanted to go out of their houses to spend the day in the beach, in the mall, wherever they pleased just as long as it was outside so as not to waste the extremely beautiful day.

But…Tokiya Mikagami was different.

He just wanted to stay at home.

He just wanted to read today.

Quite odd, right?

But Tokiya didn't care.

Why should he?

So he proceeded to his balcony and sat on the chair placed there.

At the same time, he was enjoying the day as well as reading a book.

But even before he could turn the page of his book…

His telephone rang.

"RING!"

Tokiya grumbled as he stood up and went towards his phone. "Who the heck is it now?"

"Hello, good morning. Mikagami residence. May I ask who's calling?" he greeted the person on the other line in a respective way.

The person…on the other hand…didn't greet him the same way as he did.

"Hi ya, Mi-chan!"

It was Fuuko.

"What do you want?" Tokiya said, not being polite anymore.

"Hey, can't I call a friend?"

"No."

"…"

"I'm sure you just don't call people to bother them. So what do you want?"

"Eh he he he! Um…okay, this may…well…shock you quite a bit…but…"

Tokiya was getting impatient. She was wasting his time.

"Well? Stop sputtering and tell me what you want."

"Okay, it's like this. My dad's going on a business trip for…I don't know how long…and he's doubtful about me staying in the house alone…and since he knows all of my friends…and you're one of my…well…acquaintances…he's asking if I can stay with…um…you?"

Tokiya's eyes widened. He was taken aback.

He didn't want Fuuko or anybody in his house for that matter.

"WHAT?!" he shouted over the phone. "Why me?!"

"Hey! I asked that too!" Fuuko replied. "I would have gladly stayed with Yanagi, but no. He said I had to stay with someone very mature and responsible. And he picked, of all people…YOU."

Tokiya put his hand on his forehead. He closed his eyes for at least five minutes and thought about it.

At least it wasn't Domon or Recca. Fuuko was much better than both of the two put together.

So…finally he agreed.

"Okay, fine."

"Okay! Thank you by the way. See you later!!"

"Later? You're moving in la--!"

Fuuko hung up.

Tokiya as well, put his phone down.

He sighed.

****

"DING DONG!!!"

Tokiya, who was just preparing his dinner, heard his doorbell ring.

*Must be Fuuko. * He thought.

He also thought that he shouldn't hurry because it was just Fuuko.

Quite rude, huh?

So he took all his time approaching the front door…

And that caused Fuuko to shout, bang the door, press the doorbell tons of time…etc.

"Mikagami!!!!" she shouted. "Either open this door right now or I'm gonna break it!!"

"Okay, okay! I'm coming!" Tokiya replied. "Sheesh, can't you even wait?"

Then he opened the door.

And an angry and exasperated Fuuko stood there, looking at him.

"What took you so long?"

Tokiya chose not to answer the monkey. He just opened the door widely, then started going back to the kitchen.

"Wait! Aren't you even going to help me?"

Tokiya looked back.

Apparently, he didn't notice all the bags Fuuko was carrying because of all the shouting.

So, he just carried three bags inside then up the stairs without looking at Fuuko.

"Thank you!" Fuuko exclaimed in an annoyed way.

Then she followed him upstairs, heaving three bags herself.

****

"So, did you have your dinner already?" Tokiya asked as he was going down to the kitchen.

"Yup."

"Okay, then. No need to make more food fortunately."

"What do you mean 'fortunately'!?"

Fuuko was about to burst. Once again.

But Tokiya was still calm.

"Stop shouting, will you? The neighbors are going to complain."

"Aargh! Well, I'm going to go upstairs to cool myself."

Stomping her feet, she left his kitchen.

Tokiya chuckled.

"Hn, she's still the same."

And returning to the food set on the table, he sat down and started eating.

****

Fuuko decided to cool herself with a bath. It was her usual habit whenever her day had gone bad, someone pissed her off, etc.

This time it was Tokiya's attitude she was annoyed at.

While grumbling about it, Fuuko took all her clothes off then turned on the faucet and waited for the tub to fill with water.

When the bathtub was full, she went in and sighed.

"This is relaxing…"

Fuuko looked all around. She observed the bathroom of Tokiya and was impressed by its cleanliness. As everyone might know, bathrooms used by boys are usually rather messy.

She then decided not to dirty the spick and span bathroom of Tokiya. So she was careful not to splash any water on the tiles.

After being careful, she then played with a little rubber ducky that was floating in front of her.

****



After countless minutes of playing with the toy, Fuuko started to get up and she grabbed the towel on the rack and wrapped it around her. Then she drained the water and got all her things, like shampoo, soap, etc.

She was approaching the door…when…

It opened.

And Tokiya was standing in front of her with wide eyes. Probably because of shock.

Fuuko was in shock too.

They stood there…for a couple of minutes…until…

"Iyaah!!!!!" Fuuko screamed. "Hentaiiiiiiii!!!!!"

"No, no!!!" Tokiya said nervously. "Stop, sto---!!"

Fuuko started to throw things at him…one certain rubber duckie was about to hit him…

But luckily, he closed the door on time.

"Phew!!" Tokiya sighed as he put his hand on his forehead.

****

Tokiya closed the door to his room quietly.

He knew Fuuko was already asleep.

He walked to his bed with his bedroom slippers on and took it off when he reached it.

He lay back down, his head resting on the pillow.

It was a TIRING evening…with Fuuko's screaming…with Fuuko's loud voice…

And while he was thinking of Fuuko…

He was reminded of how she was blessed with a slim figure with the perfect curves…

Man, was she lucky…

But stopped.

"What the heck am I thinking???!!!!" he thought. "Tokiya, what has gotten into you?"
