Two Weeks: Chapter 3: Day 2

Tsukushi woke up early this morning carefully planning out her day with Tsukasa. She knew that she had affected him yesterday. That kiss proved it or at least she hoped it did and it just wasn't him trying to get somewhere with her just because of her reward. Well regardless today she was going to try twice as hard as yesterday. With that determination she got out of bed took a shower and made lunch for the tow of them again. It seemed to work yesterday to quiet him up for a few minutes so she thought why not stick with a good thing. Once that was done she started rummaging through her closet trying to decide what to wear. She knew that yesterday's skirt was a big hit but she didn't want to be bugged to bend over just so he could get a good look at her butt. Tsukushi was blushing madly at this thought and decided that although it was uncomfortable it did get his attention. So she decided on a nice blue sundress that went to just above her knees, her flat sandals incase she had to make a run for it from flying objects and put her hair half back in messy bun. She looked cute in her opinion. She was just about to head out the door when she remembers that she didn't have her secret weapons with her. With that she ran back into her bedroom and started rummaging through her drawers looking for what she hoped to be memory triggers. With all of them stuffed into a tiny back pack she was off to the hospital.

Tsukasa on the other hand was still sleeping at the hospital. He was having the nicest dream. It was his birthday and he was overjoyed at the plain girl having baked him cookies that looked strangely like himself. He was smiling and he was happy. It was then he was awoken by a noise. He woke up remembering this happy feeling but nothing else of his dream. He knew that he had been close to remembering something he had forgotten and not it was gone and all because of the nurse that had tried to sneak into his room and try to check his bandage without waking him up and instead managed to knock over his breakfast tray that he wasn't awake to eat. Tsukasa was about to yell at the fool except she retreated out of the room before he had the chance. He sighed and went back to trying to get back that happy feeling he had while he was asleep but couldn't seem to find it again. So now that he was upset he decided to yell at some of the nurses anyway. Well at least until Tsukushi came to occupy him for the day. With that he rang the call bell and the terrorization of the nurses began anew for another day.

When Tsukushi arrived at the hospital the scene looked vaguely familiar after yesterday. All the nurses were congregated outside of Tsukasa's room talking about what to do about their ill mannered patient. Tsukushi was hoping that he would be going home soon. It was getting embarrassing to have to come to the hospital everyday and see him harassing them. Oh well, enough of this. I'm just going to walk right in there and teach that boy some manners. Who does he think he is doing this to these poor women and that great Doumyouji answer was not going to work with her.

"What the hell do you think you are doing? You know enough to behave better you are not five years old you baka. Those women are just trying to do their jobs and you are sitting here causing as much trouble as you can for them. Don't you have anything better to do?" Tsukushi shouts at a Tsukasa with the innocent I haven't done anything look on his face.

"I can do what ever I want they were the ones who woke me up and insist on poking and prodding me. They had it coming for their idiocy." Says Tsukasa like the five year old he had been acting like.

"Aggg, You.. You..!!!!! Tsukushi started shouting aimlessly.

"You know it is your own fault for not being here sooner you know, but all the same I'm glad to see you." Tsukasa says calmly just waving off his previous actions and moving on.

Tsukushi just stared at the crazy curly haired boy. Despite the fact that she loved him very much she still wondered it that hair of his addles his brain. She decided to concede defeat and sat down on the bed and stared at him trying to figure out or more like rationalize him and his changes of mind.

Tsukasa was about to laugh at the peculiar look on her face while she sat there on the bed but decided that she might get angry at him again if he did that and he didn't want her to get mad and leave so instead he said, "So what are we going to do today??? It looks like you brought something with you or are you wearing that backpack trying to start some weird fashion trend?"

"Huh???" Tsukushi said being caught off guard staring at him deep in thought about what makes him tick.

"I asked what are we doing today weird girl? Got it this time???" Tsukasa questions through periods of laughing. Yes he thought he was definitely starting to like this plain girl. She was fun and she wasn't scared of him. He hated to admit it but even after only a day or two he was already looking forward to spending these hours with her.

"Umm I brought lunch again and some things for you to look at." Tsukushi said through clenched teeth since she was about to hit him for laughing at her just because she spaced out and for calling weird.

"Lunch????" Tsukasa's interested had peaked. It was good yesterday. He was wondering what she brought for lunch now and he was kind of hungry since he threw his breakfast at the nurses.

"Yeah lunch but that's not for another hour or so. So what do you want to do till then???"

"Ohh, I'm kind of hungry now, but I guess I can wait an hour." Tsukasa whined "I guess we could look at whatever you brought with you or we could make out or something?" He said the last part just to get a rise out of her for not getting his lunch now.

That was the final straw for Tsukushi she hit him strait across the top of his head and then got up to storm out of the room when his larger hand clasped over her arm holding her where she was.

"What was that for, you didn't have to hit me you know. I was only teasing you. Now come sit back down and show me what is in your backpack. Ok Tsukushi???" Tsukasa asked nicely. He was mad that she hit him but then again he did kind of deserve it since he did try to purposely try to provoke her he just didn't think it would actually work. Mostly he just didn't want her to go.

"Ok" Tsukushi said puzzled by this action. He didn't attempt to kill her or make her apologize or threaten her. Maybe his wound to his side really had addled his brain. But either way she was kind of happy that he didn't seem to be mad at her. He wanted her to stay. With those thoughts Tsukushi proceeded to take off her back pack and was deciding what to take out first to show him.

She decided after lots of thought to pull out the first one that had meaning to her and maybe him. She pulled out of the bag the orange heart monitor and placed it in his hand.

"Tsukushi, why did you bring with you this silly little toy??" Tsukasa asked a little annoyed at why she would show him some stupid toy.

"I brought several of them. They are not stupid Tsukasa. I thought we could play with them today. You gave some of them to me you know. Maybe you could guess which ones." Tsukushi figured maybe this might go easier if she turned it into a game. He never did like her toys so she really shouldn't be surprised that he wouldn't now.

"Well I guess so" he whined. He didn't think this was going to be much fun at all especially since most of the time he had serious doubt that he ever really knew this girl and defiantly wouldn't have given her some stupid toy.

"So do what do you think of this one??" Tsukushi asked anxiously.

"Well how does it work???" Tsukasa asked since he had been flipping the toy around for the last couple of minutes trying to figure out what on earth it did.

"Ok then give it here??" Tsukushi said so she could show him how to work the toy.

"Why do I have to give it to you why can't you just show me." Tsukasa countered not wanting to give back the toy.

"It is easier this way" Tsukushi answers right before she dives for the toy to wrestle it back from Tsukasa.

After a few minutes of Tsukasa holding the toy out of Tsukushi's reach since she was tangled up in his blankets and his other hand had a good handful of her dress holding her in place she decided to change tactics and nibbled his ear. Tsukasa was so shocked that he immediately dropped the toy into her hand and released the hold on her skirt sending her falling off the bed onto the floor.

"Got it" she shouted triumphantly not realizing that her skirt was half over her head and her pick panties were showing.

Tsukasa just sat there staring at her. Then he shook himself out of it. Man he was acting like he had never seen a woman's underwear before. Well actually he couldn't remember ever seeing underwear before but oh well. He snapped out of it quickly and realized he needed her to not realize her state of undress or she might leave before showing how that silly thing works and it might bother him the rest of the day. "Well aren't you going to show me how to work that toy or not??"

"Yeah just give me a second to get off the floor" Tsukushi replied and noticed for the first time the way her clothes rearranged themselves during the fall. She was blushing madly but since he didn't appear to notice she just got up, rearranged her appearance and sat back down on the bed and asked "Give me your hand?"

Tsukasa gave her his hand wondering what was next to work this toy.

"Ok now you put your fingers here" as she places his fingers on the heart on the middle of the toy "and you ask it a question, like is Tsukasa a baka" and the toy immediately lighted up and starting going crazy. Tsukushi started laughing since the toy confirmed all her suspicions while Tsukasa scowled at it.

Then he decided that two could play this game. "Ok my turn to us it on you."

"Fine" Tsukushi said as she handed him the toy and her hand.

Tsukasa did the same thing to Tsukushi except he asked "Is Tsukushi going to feed me my lunch now??" The toy lighted up and went crazy just like it did to his question.

"Ok I guess we can stop for lunch now but we do the rest of the toys afterwards right away since I have to leave early today for work."

"Ok now lets eat" Tsukasa exclaims. While the tow of them ate lunch he was thinking about the fact that she would have to leave soon to work. It never occurred to him that she might have to work and how little he actually knew about her. He was going to have to change that but not today. He was actually having some fun playing with the toys that she brought with her. That and fighting over it. Lunch went by quickly and Tsukushi pulled the next toy out of the bag.

"It's a green frog?" Tsukasa said confused as to what this one did.

"Push the button" Tsukushi prompted.

Tsukasa did as told and the frog said "Good day Tsukasa" in Tsukushi's voice. Tsukasa liked this one it could be fun to leave weird messages on. He proceeded to play the message another couple of times before Tsukushi said anything.

"So what do you think of that one??"

"It's kind of fun, but I doubt that I got it for you it is too girly."

Well he was right about the ownership of that one so she proceeded to take the toy away from him and bring out the next one. The next toy was her question gadget that Rui bought for her.

Tsukasa immediately took this one from her and started turning it around trying to figure it out and then said "I definitely didn't' get you this one it just looks stupid."

"It is another question game. You ask it a question and it then narrows it down to one of the answers there. See?" Tsukushi explained.

"Next" was all Tsukasa said as he sat there anxious to see what would come out of her bag next.

"Ok give me a second to find the next one" Tsukushi said as she scrambled to put the last toy back in and to pull out the new one. "Here what about this one" she said as she handed him the pink pager.

Tsukasa looked at it and then said "You do realize that this is a pager and not a toy??"

"Yes but it might as well be the way you us them" she countered.

"Ahh so I gave you this one!!!" he said triumphantly.

"I didn't say that!!!" she said back.

"But I did, didn't I. I probably gave it to you so I could keep track of you didn't I. Don't deny it Tsukushi I gave it for you for your own good so I would know where you were." He said. He could tell he was right by the look on her face. "Next" he declared feeling so proud of himself. It really was a very sensible toy for him to have given her he thought to himself.

"Ok you were right about that one. This is the last one." She said. And with that she pulled out the last toy. The message screen toy he had bought her on their Canada trip.

He picked up the toy and then asked "So how do you work this one???"

"I'm not entirely certain" she said honestly "I never really figured it out."

"Ha. I must have gotten this one too." He said proudly thinking it was just like him to get her a toy that she wouldn't be able to work.

"Yes you did. All I know is you press that button and a message appears. It should say clumsy idiot" explained Tsukushi.

Tsukasa pressed the button waiting for his clumsy idiot message to appear only to instead read the message "I love you" to be written out. He was about to ask what was up with it until he realized that he must have programmed that message in before since Tsukushi didn't know how to use the toy. He was about to tell her but decided not to incase she got angry thinking that he was accusing her of lying about not knowing how to use the toy. He also decided not to tell her and keep it a secret like she wasn't supposed to know that he liked that message better than the clumsy idiot one. "Cool" was all he said before handing back the toy.

It was about then that Tsukushi realized how late in the day it was and that she had to get going to work. "Tsukasa I had a fun day but I have to go to work now. I'll see you tomorrow." She said and then leaned in to kiss him goodbye on the cheek and just like yesterday he turned to meet her lips with his but unlike yesterday this was a much longer kiss that she finally broke put her backpack on and walked out the door with a big smile on her face. Things were definitely going better today. Now she was certain it was only a matter of time before she got him to remember.

Meanwhile Tsukasa was sitting there in bed when he noticed she forgot the green frog toy that played messages. He wanted to hear it say good day to him again so he pressed the button but instead the frog said in Tsukushi's voice "You may not remember me but you will!!" Tsukasa sat there and for the first time said "I hope I will." And then he turned his attention back to terrorizing the hospital staff since without her here to keep him busy he became bored very quickly. Well at least all he was doing was ordering them around and not throwing things at them, surely Tsukushi wouldn't consider that acting like a five year old. Besides he is the great Doumyouji Tsukasa he can do what ever he wants as long as Tsukushi doesn't find out about it.
