Author's note : Heehee! This is where the plot (Plot? o_O *Dumb*) become different from the original storyline. Heehee! I just love my perverted Tsukasa! *Kissing*

4.Is There a Cure for That Thing?

I'm interested to know her. But I'm not in love. It can't be. It's just. «Friendship?», I hear a voice saying. Y-yes!? Wait! This is Makino's voice? «Makino?»

-So you pretend you can be a friend of mine?, she asks.

-Err. Well. Yes! Haha! *Searching* But where are you?

-I'm right here. Look up.

-Huh!?! *O_O* But you are a giant?

-You didn't know? I'm a very powerful Goddess.

-Goddess? Oh! *Realizing* I dream about Amaterasu again!

-That's my real name! *Going back to human size* But I don't need a friend.

-*Surprised* Huh? Why?

-I need a lover. Not just a friend.

-Lover? For what? *Dumb*

-For this. *Whispering in his ear*

-*Blushing* Oh! You mean that! Err. *Proud* Why me?

-Who said it was you, baka?

-*Vein pop* Why not me?

-*Laughing* I didn't make my choice yet. Just convince me.

-Okay then! *Smiling* Let's go to Hawai together! While our classmates will visit the volcanoes, we will sneak out of this and go to a nude beach. So? What do you think of this? Is there a better plan to get to know each other?

-Nude beach? Oh! *Sexy voice, undressing* I love to be naked.

-Yes, I know. *Pervert smile* You are generally naked in my dreams!

-Oh! Take me in your arms! *Kissing*

POPS!

*Waking up* What a great idea I had! A nude beach! Makino must come to Hawai with us! *In hurry, jumping out of bed* I can't wait to see her today! «Mister, I have something to tell you while I see you.»

-Huh? Yes Tama?

-Next time I find porno stuff in your room, I will have no other choice but let your mother know that you own these disgusting things again, says the old woman.

-*Angry* I knew it was you!

-I just follow the orders! Madam just can't stand this. I agree this is degrading for all women.

-Grrrr. My magazines!

-I burned them.

-What??? *Mad*

-The video tapes too.

-Ooooh! *Almost crying, begging* But Tama!

-Mister, just find a cute and nice girlfriend to teach you what a real girl is. That is, if she would agree to date someone like you, snorts Tama.

-*Fuming* Why you!

-You don't have time. Hurry, take your breakfast! *Leaving*

[Going to school] *Still angry about what Tama said* She said I need a girlfriend. I know that! But most of the girls are so annoying, acting so cutesy and all. Just trying to get advantage of me, wanting to take pieces of me. It's always like that. They don't know the real me. *Smiling* Well. Makino is a bit different. She wants absolutely nothing from me, but I can make her change her mind. Hohohoho! *Arriving at school, searching for Tsukushi* «Hey you! Have you seen Makino? », I ask a geeky guy.

-N-n-no, Do-do-do.

-Okay! I understood! You are *meaning 'stammerer'* a hammer or what? Oh! Nevermind! *Spotting Kazuya who was running away from eggs* Oh hey you! What's your name brat?

-Kazuya. *Afraid* Why?

-Have you seen Makino?

-Oh! *Enthusiastic to talk about Tsukushi* My Tsukushi-chan passed out yesterday, right after I invited her to go to Atami with me. I think she's sick today. A bad cold.

-*Angry* What???? You invited her to go to Atami? Who do you think you are?

-*Angry also* I'm her best friend in this school! If Tsukushi and I want to spend summer vacation together, this is none of your businnes! My family owns a pretty villa at Atami.

-*Mad* Grrrr. She will not come with you!

-Oh really? You think she will go with a guy she hates?

-*Screaming* Shut up or I kill you!!

-Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! *Kazuya is running away*

Damn! She's sick and this brat invited her before me. I will go see her after school then. «Tsukasa!» Ah. Sojiro and Akira.

-Hi.

-Tsukasa, we have something to ask you, begins Sojiro.

-What?

-We know you like Makino very much, continues Akira.

-And.

-So you're finally admitting it? *Phew*

-*Impatient* So what?

-Err. We don't want you to bear a grudge against Rui just because of yersterday. You know, you don't have to feel jealous. He just saved Makino because he just don't really like bullying girls, replies Sojiro.

-*Trying to deny it* I was not jealous. *Sigh* All right, I was! *Losing control* I can't help it. When I think about this girl, I always act stupidly!

-You are stupid anyway!, Akira states.

-Shut up! About Rui, I will consider what you were saying. Now I have others things in mind.

-Like Makino?, teases Sojiro.

-Aaaaaargh! Stop making fun of my feelings!

-So, Sojiro guessed right?, asks Akira.

-*Sigh* I want to visit her at home after school. She is sick.

-How cute! *Akira is touched* I didn't know you were able of this!

-You have to bring her a present and be nice to her. So try not to fight, recommmends Sojiro.

-I'll try.

-Yeah! And after that, you can seduce her little by little. We'll show you how, you virgin.

-*Blushing, embarrassed* Ah! Stop calling me that!

[Later, arriving at Makino's] I'm nervous. Damn! I'm not used to it. *Ringing, Mr Makino is opening the door* «Yes? Waaaaaaaah! Who are you?» Tsk. This old man is sooo rude. *Sighing* Let's try to be nice. «I'm Tsukasa, a friend of your daughter. May I talk to her?»

-She's sick!

-*Lying* I know, that's why her classmates sent me here. They are all sooo worried, man! They even bought a present for her.

-Oh! Well. Come in.

-Thanks. (Thoughts : Practicing with Sojiro and Akira was a good idea after all.)

-*Tsukushi just get out of bed* What's going on Papa? Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

-Oh, hi. How are you?

-*Angry* This is your fault if I'm sick, you baka!

-*Vein pop* Hahahaha! You're always joking, even sick.

-But I'm not hmmm! *Tsukasa is covering her mouth with his hand*

-Hahaha! *False smile* Calm down. Don't overdo yourself. All the school wants you to be back. They miss you so much! *Talking to Tsukushi's parents* Your daughter is such a live wire at school. Everybody loves her! Hahaha!

-Grrrr.

-*Whispering in her ear* We have to talk.

-*O_O*

-*All loud* Ah. I almost forgot to give you your present. I hope you like candied fruits.

-*O_O*

-*Mama is smashing Tsukushi* Hey! Don't forget to say thank you! *Talking to Tsukasa* Oh my! I was preparing dinner. Would you mind to join us, Mr? What was your name?

-He said he's Tsukasa, states Papa.

-But what is your family name?

-*Sweatdrops, coughing, but soooo proud* I'm Doumyoji Tsukasa.

I should have shut up. Now Mr and Mrs Makino are looking at me as if I was a gold nugget. Well. As usual. They seem so poor anyway.

-Mama! Papa! Stop acting like this! You are embarrassing!, screams Makino.

-Tsukushi, show him your room.

Makino is angry. I can tell by the way she walks towards her room. She closes the door violently. «So what do you want?»

-I came here with a proposition of *meaning 'truce'* purse.

-*Mad* Yeah, as you can see we don't have much money!

-Huh?! *Realizing his mistake* I meant when enemies stop fighting, you know.

-*O_O* Huh? Oh! A truce! Hahahahahahahaha!

-*Vein pop* Don't laugh at me!

-But you are so funny! Hahahahaha!

-Ahem! I want to call a truce during summer vacation.

-*Smiling* It's okay with me! I just want to live my life quietly anyway.

-You don't ask me why I'm doing this?

-*Proud, thinking she won* You finally realized I was stronger than the F4?

-*Blushing of anger* Grrr. You! *Sighing, trying to calm down* No. I have my reasons to stop this war definitively. A truce can be a good beginning for negotiations.

-*O_O* Huh? Negotiations?

-Yeah! Negociations will occur in Hawai during vacation.

-Huh? But why negotiations? And I cannot go to Hawai, I don't have any money!

-Negotiations for a real peace! About the costs, just look inside your gift, stupid woman.

-*Opening the box* Huh!? A passport, tickets for plane and a credit card. What does it mean? I don't want your money!

-Tsk. *Lying* I did not pay for that. Err. Well. This is a business trip with all expenses paid. It's common in my world. You can bring a witness with you if you want.

-You are lying! *Thinking again* Anyway, I wanna stop fighting too. But I have my pride. So I don't know what to do.

-You better accept, Makino. This may be your only chance. *Blushing* You know, I don't think this war is very useful and also, I want to rest in peace with you.

-Pffff! You mean live in peace, baka! Hahaha! *Smiling* Okay then!

Yeah! She said yes!! I'm soooooo happy!! Huh? I'm dreaming again? She's gonna slap me. *Waiting to receive a punch* Huh? Nothing? She's just smiling at me. *Blushing* Oooooooh! Just looking at her make my heart melting. Wait! What I'm saying? I'm thinking like a girl!! I'm thinking about romantic love crap. Eeew. It sucks! Am I becoming a weakling? «Hey! Oh! Doumyoji! Are you on Earth?» She's talking to me. I can't understand what she's saying. Why do I am idiot when she's there? «Huh?»

-Finally! What are you thinking about? You're red as a beet!

-Huh! Duh! Your eyes are astonishing when you smile. Huh! *Blushing more, realizing what he said, Tsukushi is blushing as well* Err.

-Diner is ready!, screams Mrs Makino.

-Yes!, they both say in unisson.

[Later, when Tsukushi walks Tsukasa to his car] Huh! I must say something. I hate this embarassing silence. «Err.»

-You know I. Oh! Sorry! You wanted to say something?

-N-no! Just go ahead. Well. Okay then. I was just wondering if you would mind Err! t-to have lunch with me tomorrow. (Thoughts : Why did I say that? I know I wanted this for a little time, but why did I say it now?)

-What??? *O_O*

-*Blushing* Err. It's strictly business of course!! We, we have to d- discuss about some points and some touchy subjects. You know, this is all for p-prepare efficient negotiations.

-Huh? This is very serious of you! I'll be very clear : if this process ensure me that I will stop getting harassed by you or by anyone else in this school, it's okay. And I don't want to see your face anymore after all that!

-I see. You only have two important points. One. Stop being harassed. Two. Not seeing me anymore? *Realizing* Oumph! You can't be serious about this last point?

-Why not? I just hate you! *Serious look* Really!

-B-but what if I don't hate you?

-*Angry* Baka! You don't hate me? So why did you harass me?

-I wanna stop. But I'll explain you my conditions tomorrow.

-*O_o* Bye then!
