Chapter 2
Doumyouji Ruii looked up from his sleepy stupor to see that the whole class had gone, except for him and his three best friends. He quickly gathered up his things, and without helping himself, gave a huge yawn. Kirou walked up to him and tapped his head.
"You awake yet, Ruii?" He asked boringly. Then seeing that he was, he turned around towards the door.
"Yeah, okay, he is, let's go, Mr. Faz. was acting particularly uninterestingly today. I think it was the loss of his beard. I tried to tell him not to chop it off, but before I could actually open my mouth, he was already out of the room. I think he was a bit scared that I was going to shout at him, like that time he dropped all his books on my foot." Kirou told Ruii. Ruii, being his usual self, yawned again.
"Let's go." Yoto whined and they all walked out. Everywhere the seventeen year olds went, they would be avoided by all the other students. All of them scurryed out of the way, to make way for the F4. This was their new name. They got called that when they had first started senior high school at the age of 16. Many people thought that they deserved the name of F4 as they were all the children of the original rich group. All of them had gotten used to the whispers of them being called them F4.
"Up for a cup of tea?" Aira asked, then looking at Kirou said, "Or coffee?" They all nodded their heads, and headed towards The Litter. When they entered, they were greeted timidly by the young girl at the counter, they had known her for many years, but still, she was very shy around them. Yoto immediatly went over to her to chat. When the girl saw that he was approaching her, she blushed bright red and looked down. The F3 sat down on the largest table and ordered their drinks, as usual, everyone had tea, except for Kirou.
"So, what's the plan for today, I'm sure not staying at school, it's such a bore. Let's go to the club, what's it called, um, Padlock. It'll be fun." Aira asked, pleased at his idea.
"Is that all you can think of Aira? You are so annoying boring. I'm not going to that dump. It stinks." Kirou said and crossed his arms.
Ruii was sitting there, and calmly looked surveyed the whole room. It was the usual, a few juniors bunking off Eitoku (The school they were all going to) and load of seniors, they were all familiar, going off to get a snack in their free period. But there was one girl that caught his sight. He had never seen her before, but she was so familiar in a way he couldn't describe, like he was linked to her, like he was a long lost friend of hers. The girl was very pretty, quite petite, she looked about 5 foot 5 or something. Her raven black hair went down to about midway her back, but the very unusual thing about her was that her eyes were kind of silver, like it was a mixture of grey and white. It made her large eyes glow like diamonds. Ruii was mezmerized by them, not taking his eyes off the girl. But his eye contact was suddenly interfered by a harsh nudge by Kirou, who was looking at him.
"You okay Ruii, you seem even more quieter than usual, what's up?" Kirou asked suspiciously and looked the way that Ruii was surveying. Then, Aira, who was also looking the way Ruii was looking, grinned wildly.
"Well, you should have said. I have to say, she is quite stunning." Aira said. Kirou couldn't even speak. He followed the girl with his eyes, just as Ruii had done, but more lustfully.
"Okay, if neither of you are gonna make a move, don't mind me..." Aira said and jumped up from his seat and approached the girl. But before he could even half way get there, Ruii and Kirou both pulled him back with such force, he toppled over and had to grab a table to keep himself steady.
"Okay, okay, you don't have to use violence, you could have just told me you were thaaaat interested." Aira huffed and sat back on his chair, very pissed at the other two, who were slowly advancing on to the girl. Not noticing each other, as they were so mezmerised at the girl that they were approaching, they went up to her and each spoke at the same time.
"Hi, I haven't seen you here bef---"
"Hey, you new? I'm ------"
But stopped briefly when they heard each others voice. Turning around to see the other guy, Ruii, who had always let Kirou have what he wanted, walked back slowly, but inside, he mourned to greet the girl and make her welcome to the area. Of course, he did not show it, not at all, he wouldn't let himself. All that training he had, had made him hide his real feelings. Ruii had some connection with the girl, he just didn't know what it was yet.
"Maybe later, mayber later I'll introduce myself to her..." He whispered quietly to himself and walked out of the cafe.
Kirou was looking at the girl, unaware that he hadn't opened his mouth since Ruii walked out. It seemed like a whole five minutes, Kirou didn't know what to say, he had had no practice what so ever with anyone at talking to a beautiful girl, but before he could even open his mouth, she was gone, out of sight. He spun around, trying to catch sight of her. All he could see was Aira laughing at him silently and Yoto looking very amused. His cheeks turned red and he stomped off. Leaving two very amused F2 standing there doing nothing. (But flirting.)
***********************
Doumyouji Ruii went home, he hadn't eaten anything and was starving, so immediately went over to the house's enormous kitchen, it was like a restaurant size kitchen, with everything coming with it. Ruii opened one of the cupboard doors and found just what he wanted, peanut butter and bread. He loved anything that was junk or fattening. He ate lots but never ever got fat, it was one of the advantages of being a silent pig.
He spread the peanut butter and started to eat into it when his mother came in. She looked very tired, like she had just been back from a long business trip. He walked up to her and pulled out a seat for her to sit on.
"Hello dear, had a good time today?" She asked in a familiar manner.
"It was okay, same as usual. How come you've come back so late this time, mother?" Ruii asked. Pouring her a cup of green tea.
"Oh, I had to fix some things up back at the company's offices. Your father will be down here any moment, he was just having a shower." Douyouji Tsukushi answered her very well brought up son.
*How much he's become such a young handsome man. I remember his father to be exactly like this. But his actions, make me think of Rui so much, so much...* She thought, feeling sad when she remembered how she turned Rui (Hanazawa) down that fateful day. The day where they both had asked her to love them. What had she said, oh, she remembered it so well.
"I'll be just going up to get something mother, wait a minute." He told his mum and strode out of the room.
Tsukushi turned around once more to find that she was thinking back to the last week of her schooling at Eitoku.
*Flashback*
She was sitting by the school lake, dipping her fingers into the sleek cold water, watching the shimmers of light drown themselves into the cold depth. How many times had she and Tsukasa fought, it was too many to count, with Rui, she had never, never ever in her whole life. He was always there, trying to protect her, she needed to repay him in some way. Which one should she, or would she choose when it came to the final straw. Both she loved so much, it was of course, a different and unique love fore each one. But their different actions had won her heart, she mourned to know which one to choose, it was always hard for her when it came to love... Her thoughts were interrupted when she saw Tsukasa jogging towards her.
He had a genuine smile on his face, it lit her heart up to know that he was not upset over her for once.
"Hey Tuskushi, how are you?" He said lightheartedly.
"I'm okay, what about you?" She asked softly.
"Fine, I was just wondering, um, er, haveugotadatefortheprom?" He said. Tsukushi couldn't understand half the words. So she shook her head and said:
"Um, Doumyouji, I'm sorry, but I didn't understand that, can you repeat that again?" Tsukushi told him inquiringly.
"Um, yeah, sorry, er, have you got a date for the prom?" he said in one big breath. Then, Tsukushi remembered, the senior year prom was coming up and everyone was roaming around the school trying to find a remotely good- looking partner. It was the biggest event of the year and she had forgotten. Tsukushi sat there not answering and 2 minutes later, Tsukasa felt a little nervous.
"Um, I'll let you think about it. I'll be going now." Tsukasa told her. It was obvious he was disappointed but none the less, relieved she hadn't turned him down. Then he left the confused Tsukushi sitting there thinking about her actions.
"Had I been so afraid, that I actually didn't answer him? I wanted to say yes, but at the same time, oh, I don't know!"
*end of flashback*
Tsukushi was sipping her tea when Ruii came back. He was with his father. Doumyouji Tsukasa was now 40 and well over his age of anger. He still looked quite handsome but instead of that mischevious look on his face, it was tired and it was obvious that he had been working a lot. Unlike when he was always pampered by everyone before. Tsukasa sat stiffly down on his seat and smiled at his only son.
"So, my boy, what have you been doing all this time I've been away?" He asked in a fatherly style.
Ruii answered unemotionally. "This and that, the normal things." He told his father. His father frowned inwardly, he already had this kind of behaviour from his best friend already (Hanazawa), now his son was acting the same bloody way, he thought when this coldness would seize. He remembered how soft and caring Ruii had been when he was a small child, something had changed since.
"Don't tell your old man that, I know, how is senior life in Eitoku? I remember it well from a long time ago..." He said and held Tsukushi's hand, never feeling happier than he was right now. Tsukushi smiled, *he's changed so much*.
"It's fine." Was the short answer he got.
"I remember the geeks around at those times, always trying to pester me, and those little ones. Are there still people like that?" Tsukasa asked his son. But before Ruii was going to reply a 'yes', his mother's cutting eyes caught sight of his and he abruptly closed his mouth again. Tsukushi was the only person that Ruii was afraid of, she was deadly at times. Tsukasa scratched his head awkwardly, knowing that he had said something wrong. Then he remembered that Tsukushi valued friends like the people he was talking about.
"Soooo, what's for dinner, I'm starving." Tsukasa asked, trying to make Tsukushi relax.
"It's French, called bontellea. The maids are cooking it right now." Tsukushi replied simply, still keeping her eyes away from him, this, of course, meant that she was angry at him.
"Sorry mother, father, I'm going to Kirou's place, we have to do something important. I'll see you tomorrow." Ruii said, not wanting to see his mother get angry with his father, it was an ugly sight. he removed the chair and stood up, "I'll see you soon."
