**Wait! Before you lash out or something, lemme say first that, YES, I got the title from Lara Fabian's song which is included in the soundtrack of Meteor Garden 2. And, YES, I got the idea for this fic on the same show, too. But, NO, Meteor Garden and F4 are not mine, unfortunately.. Although, I'd like to think that the BEAUTIFUL Ken Zhu (Xi Men) is mine.. Nyahaha! *gets hit in the head by gurl_labo* itaii.. oh yeah, and her's too..

**This is for rhygell, since you asked for a hana-uke fic..

**For kimi-chan and kristel, for burning my phone line til the wee hours of the morning..

**For gurl_labo, maybe you were right about me wanting to make you cry.. so feast your eyes on this!

**And for all those who like the pairing that is Hanamichi and Rukawa...

**Oh, and also for those who love MitRu... *wink, wink*

Prologue: One Critical Turn

Rukawa was driving as fast as he can that day. He hate being late and today was no exception. Especially when he has something important to say.

He grabbed his cellphone and dialed a familiar number. "Hello, Hana?"

"Kitsune, where are you?!" a loud voice yelled.

"Are you there already?" he asked, ignoring the impatience that he can already detect.

"Yes, kitsune. I'm here. What's taking you so long?!" an annoyed and irritated Sakuragi replied.

"I'm driving as fast as I can, do'aho," he insulted. "Just stay there, okay? I have something important to tell you."

Rukawa took hold of a small, black box. He opened it and eyed the content satisfactorily. "Very important," he emphasized.

As he was about to take it out from the box, it slipped from his fingers and fell on the floor of the car. "Oh, crap. Just a sec, Hana," he grumbled on the phone as he bent down to pick it up.

Rukawa's fingers fumbled for the object. "Got it," he said to himself as his hand made contact with it.

When he looked up, his eyes widened when he saw another car directly heading his way.

"Shit!" Rukawa cried out.

He swerved the car to the left so as not to hit the oncoming vehicle. Instead, he crashed on a big tree on the side of the street.

Instantly, everything went black.

"Hello? Kaede? Kaede, are you still there?" Sakuragi asked.

"What the hell happened?" he wondered loudly as he heard nothing but raspy, static sounds on the other end of the line.

He sighed loudly. "Might as well get back to waiting."
