A.N: Hi all! I was sooooo happy! The reviews of the last two chapters are more then I expected~! Thankz! *Jeslene starts crying with happiness* Well, becuz of that, I started writing this chapter early. Well, Tsukasa fanz, Tsukasa's losing! But dun worry, these vote just only make me wanna write more of who. And the ending... It's gonna depend on my imagination!

~Are thoughts of the characters~

Tsukushi turned at the sound of the creaking door. She had just woke up from a dream. A beautiful dream.

She was in a beautiful place with flowers surrounding her. She was dressed in a white gown, simple yet elegant. A small yet warm breeze caressed her hair. "Tsukushi!" She turned to see a man calling to her.

That's where she woke up.

The man was strangely familiar, like someone she know. But she counldn't search for the answer in her mind. She couldn't find the answer to it.

"Tsukushi? It's me."

Tsukasa walked into the ward to see Tsukushi in a daze. He started worrying. "Tsukushi! Are you ok?"

He relaxed at the smile of Tsukushi.

"Yeah, I'm fine, Domyouji-san."

Tsukasa's heart sank, but he smiled insprite of it.

"The doctor said that I can be discharged two days later."

"So soon? Don't you think you should rest more?" Tsukasa's face turned into a frown. He wanted Tsukushi to recover fully before going anywhere. Tsukushi's pretty face turn into a cute pout. "I don't wanna stay in this hospital anyway! It's so boring here! So please just let me have my way!"

"No." Tsukasa replied firmly. He couldn't imaging Tsukushi fainting on the streets, maybe even kidnapped and ...

"Domyouji-san? You look pale."

"I'm okay." Tsukasa shook away these thoughts. But instead of going with Tsukushi's wish, he stated, "You're staying here until next week. No more buts."

Tsukushi couldn't believe that she choose this demanding man over Rui who is always gentle to her. "Rui won't do this to me." Tsukasa's face fell. Rui. It's Rui again. It's always Rui. He knew he couldn't lose Tsukushi to his best friend.

Tsusaka let out a sigh. He turned back to Tsukushi, who was red with anger. "Okay, you can get out of here as normal. But promise me to protect yourself."

Tsukushi cheered as Tsukasa turned to leave. Before leaving, Tsusaka left a message.

"Two days later, Sunday, Hinata Street, Nirumi Resturant at 3.00pm." With that, he went out of the ward.

Tsukushi sat on her bed, dumbfounded.

"Two days later, Sunday, Hinata Street, Nirumi Resturant at 3.00pm."

Is he.. setting a date? With her?

*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

"1.00pm, I'll be waiting."

A guy sat on the bench, ignoring the snow on his hair and body. He had been waiting for four hours. She ran to him quickly...

*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

"NO!" Tsukushi's suffering from a terrible headache when the pictures she didn't reconise swim in her head. Hugging her head, she bury herself in her pillow. She knew that the pictures floating in her head is about someone important, but she didn't know who.

Whenever she tried to recalled, her head will start to ache. She conviced herself not to think of it anymore, the headache then slowly stopped. Slumping down on her bed, her eyelids grew heavy. She started to fall into the warmth of the darkness. Before she fall asleep she mummured a name.

"Tsukasa..."

Two days later...

Tsukushi stood in front of her full length mirror. She turned while looking at her reflection.

It's the day for the date Tsukasa set. She had been worrying about this. She wanted to tell someone, but she couldn't. Rui will be upset if he knew about the date. Akira and Soujiro will only make it worst using their stupid acting and "Teaching" while telling the world about this.

She can't afford to lose Rui.

Looking up at the clock, she turned and walked out of the door and into the car which Tsukasa had arranged, and towards the destination.

Arriving at the resturant, Tsukushi spotted Tsukasa almost immediately. Tsukasa was in a suit, simple yet dashing. She knew he was attracting the other girls attraction and admiration just by standing there.

Thinking of that, a feeling she didn't reconise welled up her heart.

~What is this feeling? Envy, admiration or..... Jealousy? Why should I feel jealous?~

In the middle of her thinking, Tsukasa already approached her. Greeting her using his usual "Yo." He held out his hand which Tsukushi took.

Tsukasa took a good look at Tsukushi. They were in the lift, waiting to reach the resturant. He had planned a romantic dinner for her. Candles, soft music and delicious food. Tsukushi looked elegant in her simple blue gown. Tsukasa can't help but stare at her. Suddenly, the lights went off.

Followed by a loud "Bang!'

Tsukasa tried to open the door usin his hands. But it was too hard for him. "We're trapped." He turned to see Tsukushi hugging her head. Her pretty face twisted in pain.

"TSUKUSHI!"

*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* "Hey! You're having a high fever!"

"No I'm not! I'm not that weak!"

"Come here! Lie down!"

The man struggled to escape her grip, but soon gave up and lied on her thighs. He had been waiting in the snow for four hours.

For her.

*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

"Tsukushi! Are you okay?" Tsukasa started to get nervous. Tsukushi looked so much in pain. His heart broke once more.

~Damn! I should had let her stay in the hospital longer!~

Tsukasa took a deep breath and then pulled Tsukushi in his embrace.

A.N: How's it? Last chapter is about Rui and Tsukushi, but this time it's about Tsuksa and Tsukushi. What will happen next? Well, I don't know! But the vote for T/T or R/T is over! Thanks fer all the votes! Plz review!
