So It Begins
The next few days consisted of JR and I perfecting our plan to bring Umi down. I had JR tracking Umi and Kaede, taking shots of them together. All we needed was a bit of proof that these two were working together, plotting against Tsukushi and Tsukasa. We knew we had to work quickly, because Umi was trying to squirm her way into Tsukasa's life faster than a crack of lightning. Umi was doing everything in her power to make him believe that she was the one he forgot. Her plan seemed to be failing, until yesterday's lunch.
-Flashback to yesterday's lunch-
Sitting in our usual spots at lunch, I stood up and walked over to Rui and sad down. We talked more lately and he even told me that I should smile more often because it brightens his day. Wow what a line. I, being a complete Rui fan, flashed a big warm smile his way. Rui smiled back and we broke out in laughter.
Tsukushi sat with Tsukasa, Soujiro and Akira, talking about Tsukasa's upcoming party.
"Makino, would you be my date for the party?" Soujiro asked. Tsukushi froze and gave him a look of confusion. The funny thing is, I noticed Tsukasa's hands curl up into a fist when he heard Soujiro ask the question. Tsukasa remained quiet, eagerly waiting Tsukushi's answer.
"Me? Nishikdao-san, I'm sure there are plenty of other girls you'd rather go with that are more suited for you than I am. Besides, you're not my type." Tsukushi giggled. I swore I saw a sign that said 'Rejected' floating above Soujiro's head as he sighed in disbelief. Nobody else noticed it, but Tsukasa grinned, seeming more relaxed than he was a few seconds ago.
Umi came prancing in, carrying a beautifully wrapped gift in her hands.
"Hi everyone!" She said happily, making her way to Tsukasa.
"Doumyoji-kun, this is for you." Tsukasa, as well as everyone else, looked up at Umi in surprise. He took the package from her hands. In excitement, Umi clapped her hands together saying, "Open it now Doumyoji-kun!" So Tsukasa did just that.
His facial expressions went from annoyance to…I don't know what. Tsukasa looks so happy, but there was also confusion sweeping over his face. He held up one of the contents in the tin can to examine it more closely. Since Tsukushi sat next to Tsukasa, she gasped at the cookie Tsukasa held up. They were Tsukasa's different facial expressions, in the shape of cookies. How did Umi know about those? Rui and I stared at each other upon seeing the present bestowed upon Tsukasa. I felt Tsukushi's heart sink.
"Thank you, Umi-chan." Tsukasa said wholeheartedly. Umi gave Tsukasa a hug, and this time, he didn't push her away. Then, he smiled and showed everyone what Umi made him. I could tell everyone was pretending to be happy, but we all knew differently. Tsukushi made him those cookies back then.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Tsukushi get up to leave. "Nishikado- san, I would love to be your date at for the party." She said. "You better not be late picking me up either!" She smiled, but I knew what her smile really meant. Soujiro nodded, "Allright Makino. I won't disappoint you!" Tsukushi walked away from us, shoulders slumped. Tsukasa noticed her leaving and watched her retreating form. I wonder what he's thinking. Umi had a look of satisfaction watching as she succeeded in bringing Tsukasa closer to her.
Rui and I continued our conversation. "What is she doing?" Rui asked irked by Umi's actions.
"I don't know Hanazawa-san, but I think she's up to no good." I replied, trying not to give out my known information. Rui agreed with me and we looked on. Umi filled the empty space where Tsukushi sat moments ago. There was a genuine smile on Tsukasa's face as he examined each cookie. I sighed and had the sudden urge to drag Umi away from the group and tell her I was on to her, but instead chose to sit down and patiently wait.
-End flashback-
Breakfast was served, and today the chef has graced me with pancakes, eggs, and sausage. The chef, Shiro, always made me different versions of authentic 'American' breakfasts. He told me one day that he didn't want me to miss home so much and so he creates this food just for me. I feel so special.
Tsukasa came in and joined me at the table. He looked like he hadn't slept at all. As he sat down, I couldn't take my eyes off him. His face was expressionless and he looked so lost in thought.
"Reona-chan, everything Umi does jolts all these memories and flashbacks, and so I think she's the one I forgot, but…" Tsukasa paused. "But, then she wraps her arms around me, and I feel nothing."
Tsukasa was confused. This whole situation must be tearing him apart. He closed his eyes and leaned his head back, nearly staring straight up at the ceiling.
"Doumyoji, can I ask you something?" He nodded. "Why did you get annoyed when Nishikado-san asked Tsukushi-chan to be his date for your party?" I noticed him flinch at the question.
"I was NOT annoyed. The only thing that annoyed me was that poor girl's presence."
"You didn't seem to mind her when she was sitting next to you." I retorted. I was expecting Tsukasa's reaction as he shot up from his chair and walked out the door. He found it funny to leave without me, so I began my hike to school.
"BOO!" Someone grabbed on to my shoulders, but I knew it was JR.
"Good morning JR" I said, never stopping to turn around to greet him. I knew he was following me, so I just kept walking. I was late enough as it is.
"Why are you walking today?" I stopped to look at him and answered bluntly, "Because I made Tsukasa mad." JR smirked, but I playfully punched him in the stomach and ventured forward.
At lunch, I notice Tsukasa is missing, as well as Tsukushi.
"Where's Tsukushi-chan?" I asked the boys sitting before me.
Rui answered, "She said she has some work to do, so she's not joining us today."
"And Doumyoji?"
"We haven't seen him all day. We figured you would know where he was." I shook my head and spoke, "I think I made him mad this morning, so he left without me and I had to walk to school."
Geez. Where in the world did Tsukasa go? Oh wait. This would be the perfect time to ask the guys for help. I just hope Umi doesn't come along and ruin it all. She's probably off stalking Tsukasa like she does everyday. Ah, and here comes JR now. Just in time.
"Actually guys, I'm glad that the three of you are here. JR and I have some very important matters to discuss with you concerning Tsukasa." I captured their attention once I mentioned Tsukasa.
"JR and I have reason to believe that Umi has made arrangements with Doumyoji Kaede in keeping Tsukasa from remembering Tsukushi." All eyes were on me as I continued.
"From what we've seen and heard, Tsukasa's mother is paying Umi a large amount of money to make Tsukasa believe that SHE is the one he has forgotten. This in turn would cause Tsukasa to forget about Tsukushi and that would be the end of their relationship."
"Luckily, Umi is having a very difficult time convincing Tsukasa that she is the one." I said that with a mischievous grin on my face. I was enjoying the fact that Tsukasa knew that Umi wasn't the one he needed.
"Do you have evidence?? Accusing Doumyoji Kaede of a conspiracy against her son without hard evidence is a VERY bad idea." My train of thought stopped as Rui cut in.
"As a matter of fact Rui, we do have hard evidence of this deception. Reona, play the tape for them," said JR in response to Rui's question.
I dug through my bag and pulled out my mini-tape player. I asked the guys to move in closer, so that it wouldn't play so loud, in case there were others passing by. I let them know we received this tape from a 'friend' who spotted Umi and Kaede having a drink together at a local café. After the conversation stopped playing, the F3 sat speechless, neither of them knowing what to say.
"That was mine and JR's reaction as well when we first heard this conversation." I told them.
"Where did you get this from again?" Man this Rui was a doubtful one.
"I told you already. We cannot reveal our sources to you. I'm sorry." I had to be strict in this ruling. I needed their help, but I wasn't about to blow mine and JR's cover. Juno would kill me. I would be unemployed for life. *sigh*
"Do you have pictures of them together?" Soujiro asked. I nodded, pulling out the pictures of them from the café. Little did I know that JR had a camera that night and while he was walking out of the bathroom, he was taking pictures of the duo.
"So why are you doing this and why are you telling us this?" Rui was just full of questions.
I let out a sigh and answered, "Because, Tsukushi is my friend and I want her to be happy. Also, since I've been living under the same roof as Tsukasa, he's opened up to me. He's told me that there's something not right about Umi." I hoped this answer would suffice Rui's curiosity.
"I need your help in bringing Umi and Kaede's plan down. You, as Tsukasa and Tsukushi's friends, cannot let this plan continue. If that is not enough for you, Kaede plans on announcing Tsukasa's engagement to Umi at the party. " At my last sentence, the three of them gasped.
"That's ridiculous! Tsukasa would never agree to that!" Akira shouted at me.
"Of course he wouldn't, but what objections does he have? Umi has never given him a reason otherwise, am I right? She's the one who's been there for him since this incident happened. You noticed that the last time Umi hugged him, he did not flinch or push her away. Tsukasa is starting to believe that…that….that GIRL is the one for him. Look, I want to see Tsukushi and Tsukasa together just as much as everyone else does, but they need help. They need OUR help."
"So tell us what we need to do, Reona-chan." Rui said. At this moment, I couldn't express my relief when Rui finally decided to trust me.
The plan was going into full swing now. The day was coming to an end, so I sneaked on a few of the guys to make sure things were going as needed. I spotted JR talking to Umi near her locker.
"Hey Umi-chan! Where were you at lunch today? I missed you." JR flashed that unbelievably cute smile and I saw Umi blush. I have to give it to him, he's such a sweet talker.
"Ah, I was with Doumyoji-kun helping him with some homework." She replied shyly.
"Well, I was wondering if you would accompany me to Tsukasa-san's party this weekend." Umi was about to reply when JR leaned in closer to her, whispering into her ear, "I would be honored if someone as beautiful as yourself would be my date." JR pulled back, waiting for Umi's response. It took her a minute to snap out of her daze when she agreed to be his date. That was easy. JR and I thought that Umi would have made plans to be Tsukasa's date. That's too bad for JR. He spent so much time perfecting a performance in case she denied him the date. I laughed and continued walking.
The next group I saw were Akira, Rui and Tsukasa walking towards the garden.
"Oi, Tsukasa, who are you bringing as your date?" Akira asked.
"Nobody." Tsukasa answered casually as he continued to walk. Akira and Rui briefly glanced at each other.
"Why not?" Akira spoke again.
Tsukasa stopped and answered, "Why should I? It's not a big event. Besides, there isn't a girl out there worthy enough of being my date." Tsukasa didn't turn to look at his friends, but I noticed a twinge of what looked like disappointment on his face. The trio continued their stroll in silence with Rui and Akira giving each other looks of confusion.
This is too weird. Everything is going as planned, without any complications. I'm starting to get a really bad feeling about all this. Before walking out to the limo, I found Soujiro talking with Tsukushi at the emergency stairwell.
"Makino-san, for Tsukasa's party this weekend, I will take care of everything."
"Nishikado-san, what do you mean by EVERYTHING?" Tsukushi asked with a glare in her eyes.
"N-Nothing like that Makino-san. I just want you to be comfortable at Tsukasa's party so I've taken the liberty of getting you this." Soujiro pulled out a large classy looking gift bag from behind him. "I know you don't like getting gifts, but please accept it, as a token of my appreciation. You know, for being my date."
Tsukushi didn't know what to say as she stared at Soujiro in shock. She took the bag from him, but before she could glance at its contents, Soujiro spoke again. "Before you open it, promise me you'll use it for the party." Tsukushi was about to protest. We all knew that she didn't accept gifts kindly, but she looked at the kindness in Soujiro's eyes and replied, "I promise." With that answer, Soujiro told Tsukushi he would pick her up at 7pm for the party and they parted their separate ways.
Soujiro caught a glance of me at the bottom of the stairs and smiled.
I was about to begin the walk home, when I saw Tsukasa standing outside his limo in front of the school.
I cast him an angry glance, "What are you looking at?"
"Do you want a ride home or not?" He asked me.
"Look, stupid, I can get home just fine without your help. The same way I made it to school today WITHOUT your help." I answered. I was still pretty mad he made me walk.
Tsukasa sighed in frustration. "You women are crazy. I'm sorry I made you walk this morning." He apologized. Too bad I didn't have my tape recorder now. That would have been a great memory. The great Doumyoji Tsukasa apologizing to me. I looked up at him to see if his apology was sincere. He gave me a look saying 'are you getting in the car or what?'
"I accept your apology. Don't ever do that again." I said stepping into the limo.
We sat in the limo. Honestly, I was tired. Today's events were nerve- wrecking. I wanted everything to go as planned and it gave me a massive headache. Minutes pass when I finally notice Tsukasa staring at me.
"What are you looking at?"
"Nothing…" He answered slowly. "Actually…Reona-chan, I wanted to ask you if you would be my date for my party."
