Mission Impossible: Getting In

Two weeks had passed and it was time for me to go forth in my mission. The research wasn't so bad. I got to go shopping and buy all sorts of great stuff, at the company's expense of course. Here I sat in the teletransporter. The other agents and some scientists were preparing for my departure.

"Ready Reona-san?" They asked from the upper level of the lab.

"HAI!!!!" I exclaimed and gave a thumbs up. I heard a 'zap' and for a few moments, my whole body felt weird. I felt like I was intact, but not really. The next thing I know, I open my eyes to find myself on a rather tiny tree branch. I looked down and my fear of heights begins to sink in.

'Crack'

Uh oh.

"AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" The tree branch snapped and I fell down screaming along the way.

I managed to land on something pretty soft, so it helped the landing a little. It still hurt. I looked around to see three pairs of eyes just staring at me.

"Oi! Soujiro are you okay?!" The one with the flowy red hair asked me.

"Ah. I'm so sorry, but my name is not--" I tried to reply but I was cut off by a soft moaning sound. Where in the world was it coming from? I cursed Juno for making me land in a tree. I looked around as I heard some more mumbling, and I noticed then that I was sitting on someone. Not just any someone, but a rather good looking someone. I stood up quickly.

"Aye-yah! I am sooooooo sorry." I apologized ten times over, before running away like a little school girl. How embarrassing.

-Back to the group-

"Who was that?" Rui asked.

"She was cute" Akira noted.

"She was wearing black panties." Soujiro said still in a daze.

"Perverts!" Tsukushi muttered.

"She fell from the tree right? I wonder what she was doing up there." Rui said.

"How long do you think she's been up there?" Tsukushi asked. All the others just shrugged and continued their conversation.

-End group-

I called up Juno to tell him how pissed I was that he made me land in the tree. "Reona-san, it was an accident. I'm sorry." Sure it was an accident.

"Anyways, where am I staying?"

"You will be staying at this address. Remember you are an exchange student. Don't show your hosts that you are an ill-mannered American. Behave." Juno told me the address and I left in search for my temporary home.

I found the address finally. I swear I walked all over Tokyo trying to find this place. This place is huge. It looks more like a hotel than it does a house. A mansion would be the proper term for it. I was quite amazed. I wasn't so mad at Juno anymore. He found me a great place to stay. Here goes nothing. I rang the doorbell and a few moments later a woman had opened the door.

"You must be the foreign exchange student. Please come in." The woman bowed and left me standing in the entry. I looked around and noticed the marble floors and the antiques displayed everywhere. I was especially marveled by one painting of Mt. Fuji at sunset.

"Ah! Reona-chan. It is so nice to finally meet you. We've been waiting for your arrival." The most beautiful woman I had ever seen approached me and gave me a hug. She was so pretty. I found myself a bit jealous.

"I am Doumyoji Tsubaki. We are very happy to have you here, Reona-chan. It's been quiet around the house since my brother has been in the hospital, but he will be home later on today. I cannot wait for you to meet him." Tsubaki went on and on. When she showed me my new room, I nearly fainted. There was a king size bed with more pillows that I ever needed. The view was beautiful and I had my very own bathroom. The room alone was as large as my apartment back home. Not that I live in a small place, but this room was just so grand. I fell in love with the bathroom instantly. It had a jacuzzi and a separate shower.

"Reona-chan if you have any questions of if you need anything, just let us know. You have all of your new uniforms as well as other clothing in the closet. Since you will be staying with us, you will be expected to attend all social events. Now I must be going, so I'll see you later." Tsubaki said and left me to my room.

I jumped on the bed. I couldn't help it, but the bed looked so fluffy and bouncy, that I just had to try it out. Allright. It's time to work. I pulled out all my notes and began my work. I had to plan out what I was going to do the rest of my stay here. I already knew how to get Umi out of the way, but I wondered how easy or difficult it would be.

I got bored and decided to explore the city. The maid, Tama-san, offered to have someone drive me everywhere, but I just felt like walking. I needed the exercise. I've never been very skinny. My mom used to tell me that I've got all my curves in the right places. After hitting all the local shops, I was exhausted. I had bought more than I thought I should, but everything was just too cute.

"I'm back!" I said as I entered the house. Tama-san walked by and greeted me, asking me what sorts of things I bought. She was so friendly. I was making my way up the stairs when another figure was coming down. Doumyoji Tsukasa. He was must cuter than I thought. Tall, dark brown curly hair, and leopard printed crutches? I wanted to laugh, but I knew it wasn't appropriate. He just stared at me deeply.

"Who are you?" He demanded with a scowl on his face.

"Tomeda Reona. I assume you are Doumyoji Tsukasa. Tsubaki-san has told me about you." I replied.

"What are you doing in my house Tomeda-san?" Tsukasa's voice rose.

"I'm an exchange student from America and I will be staying here. And please, just call me Reona. I'm not used to people calling me by my last name. May I call you Tsukasa?" I looked up at him to examine him some more. He was cute even when he was annoyed. Uh oh. I think I pushed it. I forget that I'm in Japan now and I can't be calling everyone by their first name. He looks more annoyed than he was a moment ago.

"NO YOU CAN'T CALL ME THAT. You're in Japan. You should get accustomed to our ways."

"Fine then, Doumyoji-KUN." Stressing the 'kun' I walked right passed him and tossed my head in the air.



I dressed in my brand spanking new Eitokou uniform. How annoying is this? This jacket does nothing for my figure. Oh well.

-Knock. Knock-

"Come in."

I turned to see who it was. "Ah! Good morning Tsubaki-san."

"Good morning Reona-chan. I heard you met my brother last night. Sorry if he came off as rude, but he just needs to get used to you being here. Anyways, the car is ready to drive you to school and there is breakfast downstairs as well." Tsubaki said looking around the room. I added a few things here and there to make it feel more like home.

She noticed a picture of me and J.R. on the nightstand. Tsubaki walked over to it, eyeing it carefully.

"Who is this young man with you?" She asked.

"That is my best friend, J.R. We've been friends since we were kids." Tsubaki eyed me and gave me an odd look.

"He is not your boyfriend?"

"Ah no…Tsubaki-san…we are just friends." I smiled trying to convince her that J.R. and I were indeed just friends.

The ride to school was uneventful. I stepped out of the limo and began my journey into Eitokou. People stared, but I was prepared for that. I just walked and paid no attention to the eyes on me. Once I gathered my schedule and books from the office, I put everything into my locker and headed to my first class. I walked in and there was complete silence. I smiled and walked over to the teacher and introduced myself.

"Class, this is Tomeda Reona. She is the new foreign exchange student from America." The teacher introduced me to the class, then looked at me. "You can sit over there next to Makino-chan. Makino-chan, raise your hand." Tsukushi looked up warily at me. She must have been thinking of something or someone. She waved her hand in the air and I walked over to the empty desk next to her.

Tsukushi looked so sad. I was going to smile and try talking to her, but she seemed to find the events happening outside the window more intriguing than class. *sigh* I looked at the other students in the class. Most of them were whispering things about me. What a bunch of dorks. Don't I look Japanese to them? I understand everything they say. Oh well. I won't let that get to me now. I have more important things to take care of. When lunch came around, I noticed Tsukushi get up rather quickly.

"Ano…Makino-san…" I managed to get a hold of her before she bolted out the classroom.

She turned to me with a look of fear in her face. Maybe I scared her with my abrubtness.

"Since I'm new here and I don't know anyone. I was wondering if I could join you for lunch. I have a really great box lunch that the chef made for me." I smiled, hoping that my attempt would be successful. Once she nodded her head, I sighed in relief.

"Tomeda-san, let's go." Tsukushi walked out and I followed.

"Makino-san. Can you please just call me Reona? I'm really not used to being called by my last name and it's kind of scaring me." Tsukushi looked at me and then giggled.

"Sure Reona-chan." We were walking into an area filled with trees. Oh NO! What if she remembers.

"Reona-chan…You look familiar, even though you are new to this school." Tsukushi looked at me trying to examine my face.

"You're the girl from the tree!" oh no. She remembers. I got a bit nervous. How was I going to explain that?

"Uh..uh…" I couldn't talk right.

"You are! Um…Reona-chan, what were you doing in the tree?" Tsukushi asked with a curious look on her face.

"Ah..well..I was walking around the grounds to see my new school and what better way to see the school grounds than up high. So I climbed the tree. The tree branch was too thin, so it snapped and that's when you saw me fall on top of that guy." I answered, hoping she would by the story.

"Ah I see. Are you okay? You ran away so quickly." She believed me. What a relief.

"Yes I'm fine now thanks. How is your friend doing?" We continued our conversation until we reached 3 boys sitting on the ground under a tree. It was the rest of the F4. Now coming closer and getting a better look, I realized I had landed on Soujiro.

Soujiro looked up to Tsukushi and I. "Hey! It's the tree girl." That caught both Akira and Rui's attention and once again, all eyes were on me.

"Be quiet Nishikado-san. This is Tomeda Reona. She is a foreign exchange student from America." I smiled as they introduced themselves to me.

Wow, Rui is so amazingly cute. Control yourself Reona. You have a job to do. I can hear Juno's voice in my head now. I sat down next to Rui and pulled out my lunch.

"Would you like some of my lunch, Hanazawa-san?" I asked. He didn't seem to pay much attention to me, so I asked the others. Akira and Soujiro accepted my offer graciously.

"WOW! This is so good Tomeda-san. Did you make this?" Akira asked.

"Ah..no…the chef at the house made it for me today." Our conversation continued, as I had to explain the tree incident again. They just laughed at the situation and I asked them to not deem me as the 'tree girl.'

"So where are you staying at?" I nearly choked on my rice when Tsukushi asked.

Patting my back, Tsukushi asked if I was okay.

"I'm staying at the Doumyoji mansion." I replied clearing my throat. The atmosphere around me suddenly felt scary. I saw the F3 eyeing me now with curiosity wanting to hear more, and as for Tsukushi, there seemed to be a look of hurt on her face.

"Have you met Tsukasa?" Rui asked coming out of his quietness.

"Yes, I met him briefly. He doesn't seem too friendly, but Tsubaki-san told me to be patient with him as he has had a rough time." The F3 glanced over at Tsukushi. I wonder what she could possibly be thinking.

"Well, we'll be stopping by there later, so we'll see you then, Tomeda." Akira said as the F3 stood to leave.

It was just Tsukushi and I now. "Are you okay Tsukushi-chan?"

She snapped out of her thoughts and nodded. We stood up and headed back to class. Tsukushi wasn't too open about her feelings, but I knew that from reading all the manga and doing research on her.

Later that evening, I was walking around the house when I passed by a room and heard voices. I stood outside hoping nobody would notice me.

"Tsukasa, I hear you've got the new foreign exchange girl staying here. She's really cute. What's her name again?" Akira asked.

"Tomeda Reona." Rui replied.

"Yeah that's it. We met her once. She fell from a tree the other day when we were having lunch." Akira continued.

"Akira. Shut up. I don't like talking about that new girl who's come into my house acting all high and mighty like she owns this place." Tsukasa scowled. HIGH AND MIGHTY? ME? I'll show him high and mighty. I could get a pretty good view of Rui from where I was sitting. I heard the doorbell ring. Who could that be? Maybe it's Tsukushi. So I left my spot and headed down the stairs. I was surprised to see the devil herself. What was Umi doing here?

"Tama-san, who is it?" I asked cheerily as I made it to the door.

"Hello! My name is Umi. I am a good friend of Doumyoji-kun." Umi said bowing. Juno wasn't kidding. She is a bubbly one.

"What's your name? Are you one of Doumyoji-kun's friends too? How come you never came to the hospital?" Was this girl ever going to stop talking?

"Ah…I am Tomeda Reona. I'm a foreign exchange student." This introduction was getting redundant. I walked off.

"Wait! Tomeda-san…can you please show Umi-chan where Doumyoji-san is?" Why me? I noticed Tama-san's plea, as she was busy doing other things around the house. I nodded.

We made it up the stairs to where Doumyoji is, but Umi nearly drove me insane. I knocked on the door.

"What do you want?" I heard Tsukasa from inside.

Umi threw the door open and walked right in. "Hello Doumyoji-kun!" She walked in before I could answer. The nerve of this girl.

After countless hours of Umi's babbling, I was getting bored and really annoyed.

"Don't you have anywhere to be?" Rui asked Umi with annoyance in his voice. Umi stopped talking and looked at him.

"It's already late, and I think you've overwelcomed your stay." Rui continued.

"Rui." Tsukasa glared at him.

"It's okay Doumyoji-kun. It is late and I'm sure my parent's are going to worry. Good night." Umi said walking over to Tsukasa, smiled, and gave him a hug. Her actions put the room in shock. I, myself, was shocked at this intimacy between Umi and Tsukasa. Umi walked out leaving the room speechless.

This is going to be harder than I thought.
