Disclaimer: I don't own Rui or Hana Yori Dango.

"Rui, I'm real sorry if I made your parents and you quarrel over me," Tsukushi apologized to her boyfriend, Hanazawa Rui. " Iie, they were the ones who looked down on you. I can't believe they're so unreasonable!" Rui assured Tsukushi immediately, taking her into his warm embrace. A few months earlier, his best friend, Domyouji Tsukasa, had lost his life in a car accident. Tsukushi had cried over him for months. " Luckily Rui was beside me the whole time," Tsukushi thought.

"Don't blame them Rui. They're your parents and what they're doing is for your own good. There are many girls out there prettier and better than me," Tsukushi told Rui. She did not want Rui to fall out with his family just because of her.

"What do you mean by that, Tsukushi?!!" Rui angrily jerked out of their embrace. " Do you mean that it means nothing to you that my parents don't like you? Do you mean that you don't give a damn about whether you will get to be with me!!!"

"No Rui i.." Before she could finish, Rui cut in. "I'm so disappointed in you." With that, he grabbed his coat and stomped out of the house and into the harsh cold winter night. "Rui! Don't Go!"Tsukushi shouted but he was gone. "Why must this always happen to me ?!!!! Why??? First it was domyouji, then now, Rui." Tsukushi broke down in tears. Her long brown hair was plastered to her face. The snowflakes fell on as Tsukushi cried.
