Chapter Four - Rekindled or Worse?
Tsukushi
I stared at the firm hand that held my small one. Tsukasa. How long had it been. He finally recalled me. After all the hurt he had caused me, after all the suffering I went through, never had he once said he was sorry.
"Tsukushi, I remember." He said, looking in my eyes.
I didn't know what happened but I wrenched my hands free from his iron grip and raced off in the direction of the Maple notwithstanding of the cries of Akira and Soujiro. I didn't look back but I could feel two pairs of eyes boring into my back. Before I knew it, my face was covered in hot tears. I attracted many passers-by but I didn't care. I know that although I was finally free of Tsukasa's grasp, I had a small wound inside of me. If only two years was time long enough to heal that wound.

Rui
The moment she looked up, I could see that over the years, how she matured. Her face was oozing with radiance and I happiness I never knew she possessed. For a moment I stood there mesmerized until Tsukasa spoiled it all. She took of I the direction of the Maple. We just stood there staring blankly until Akira said, "She's grown much, much prettier."
"What did you expect? She's a model." Soujiro countered.
Despite their efforts to lighten the somber mood, Tsukasa stood staring at the direction Tsukushi took.
Tsukushi had come back to Tokyo. To home. I remembered her as my 2nd love, the one I cherished since Shizuka. But, had she changed? There was something in her eyes I couldn't read. Defiance? I didn't know. For the first time, I was stumped.
**************************************************************************** ****************
Tsukushi
"God! Tsukushi, you are so weak. "I berated myself for the fifth time. I promised myself to get over my former life filled with pain. Despite my countless attempts to visualize Tsukasa as my love, my life, I couldn't. A soft knock interrupted my thoughts. Melissa stepped inside with a bewildered look.
"What happened back there?" she asked.
"Sorry. I just lost control. "
"So those were the F4," she muttered softly.
"Don't worry. I'll get over it. "I forced a smile onto my tear-streaked face.
And I vowed too. I knew what I felt towards Tsukasa had changed. But the feeling was still there. What about Rui? I vowed at all costs to stay away from the foursome. They were too hurting.

This chapter is super short because I do not want the plot to be given away too fast. Keep reading. Much more to come.
