Sorry if some of you who are reading my story are having trouble with it. I'm new to writing fanfics and I'm still trying to get used to uploading the chapters online. Sorry for the mix-up. Anyways, thanks for the reviews I've gotten. U guys are so nice, you're embarrassing me : P
Today was as busy as ever. Tsukushi and Tsukasa were trying not to bite each other's heads off every second. Tsukushi couldn't help feel aggravated whenever Tsukasa was around. He was just arrogant for her taste. Doumyouji meanwhile thought Tsukushi went out of her way to dislike everything about him. He had to admit, he did came off like a bit of a sexist. By the middle of the day everyone decided to take an hour break.
'I feel so lazy today, maybe a little exercise would be good,' Tsukushi thought as she headed downstairs where the FBI provided a gym for their workers.
Tsukushi changed into sweats and headed to the gym.
"Hey Tsukushi, finally decided to pump up those weak muscles of yours?" Tsukasa commented.
He had decided to do a little bit of workout since he hadn't done so in a week. He was on the treadmill when he saw Tsukushi come in. Tsukushi turned around to him and was a bit caught off guard by the sight of him.
'For an egotistical guy he doesn't look that bad,' was the first thought that came out of her head as she stared at his sweating form. The shirt and shorts he was wearing did nothing to hide the fact that he was well built, lean and muscular. 'Ah! What am I thinking. Yuki was right, being single for too long can have its affects. That dinner tonight will be a good idea.' she thought.
"Hey, have you gone speechless. Yeah, I wouldn't blame you. Anyone would be if they saw me," Tsukasa said arrogantly.
"In your dreams, and my muscles are not weak. I could beat you anytime I wanted," she retorted.
"Now that's a challenge if I haven't heard one. Alright, let's have a spar then," Tsukasa said.
"Huh, are you serious?"
"Yeah, but I knew you were gonna back down anyway."
Tsukushi couldn't back out nor did she want to. The two faced each other and started to spar (note: kinda like karate). They began attracting other FBI agents including Rui and Akira.
"What the hell is going on, don't tell me Tsukushi's fighting with Tsukasa. He's twice as big as her! We gotta stop those idiots!" Akira exclaimed.
"You can go and stop them but I doubt that'll do anything. You know how Tsukushi gets when she sets her mind on something. She'll probably fight you too. She may be small but I've seen her fight before. She's actually very good," Rui said observing Tsukushi give a few kicks at Tsukasa.
"Are you crazy, I can't believe you just said that?!" Akira said to his friend who seemed to be calm about the situation.
"Don't worry, we'll stop them if they go too far. But I think their both smart enough to stop even if they are both hard-headed."
Tsukasa couldn't believe it. He was actually working out a sweat fighting her off. He didn't actually want to fight her. It was just something to taunt her a bit. Every move he gave to her, she blocked. Tsukasa grabbed her arm placed it behind her back while pushing her off balance. Tsukushi fell and since her arms were being held by Tsukasa, he came down with her. There was a second of silence between the two where they just looked at each other. Tsukasa looked down at her.
'She can be hot if she wants to be,' he thought.
"I win," Tsukasa said in between breaths while still pinning her down on the ground.
The two of them got up and both felt awkward and embarrassed from the short moment.
"If I had known it was this easy to beat you then I would have made a bet, that way I could have gotten something out of it. You should train better, so next time I don't have to beat your sorry ass so easily," Tsukasa said laughing and started to walk away.
Tsukushi reached her limit by then. Not only was she embarrassed at what happened before but now she was being laughed at Tsukasa. Everyone around them was deadly quiet because they knew better than to laugh at Tsukushi.
"Now he's gonna get it," Rui quietly said to no one in particular.
Tsukasa turned around wondering why everyone was just standing there and the last thing Tsukasa saw was Tsukushi's fist connecting with his face and all went black.
Everyone had a smile on their faces, thanking god that it wasn't them that made Tsukush angry. Tsukushi stepped over the now unconscious Tsukasa and headed for the shower with a satisfied smile on her face.
"Well come on Akira, we better drag Tsukasa out of here and wake him up before our break is over," Rui said calmly. The two men carried him by the arms and legs.
"You must be pretty lucky to come out unscathed by Tsukushi when you guys were together," Akira amusedly said.
"Yeah, I thank the gods everyday," Rui said and the two men laughed about it as they went up the elevator with Tsukasa still knocked out.
That evening Tsukushi started getting ready for dinner out with her friends Yuki and Soujiro. She was suppose to met them along with Soujiro's friend at an Indian restaurant near the village. Tsukushi arrived at the small restaurant and spotted Yuki and Soujiro already seated. They waved at her and the waiter showed her to her seat.
"Hey Tsukushi, glad you made it," Soujiro said and added, "My friend will be here soon. I was on the phone with him earlier and he sounded like he was in a foul mood."
"Well he's not the only one, my partner and I had a little disagreement again. I swear he's the most difficult man I've ever met!" Tsukushi said.
"Hey I didn't know you have a partner," Soujiro said.
"Oh that's right I forgot to tell you about him. Sorry about that," Yuki said apologetically.
"Well it can't be that bad between you two," Soujiro said trying to console Tsukushi.
"Yeah, it's worse. He's so aggravating I ended up knocking him unconscious," Tsukushi said getting angry by the moment.
"Oh my god, are you serious?!" Yuki asked in shock.
"So, does this guy have a name?" Soujiro asked.
Just then a tall man walked in. Tsukushi's eyes widened at the same time Tsukasa's jaw's dropped.
Soujiro smiled as his friend walked towards them, "Ah, Tsukasa, thought you'd never make it man. Oh shit, what's with the black eye?!" Soujiro asked laughing.
"You!" both Tsukasa and Tsukushi exclaimed.
"What the hell! Do you now have some sick hobby of following me around?" Tsukushi said to Tsukasa.
"Get real lady, any guy would have to be an idiot to come near a neurotic person like you!" Tsukasa interjected.
Yuki and Soujiro's heads turned from one person to the other.
"Whoah! Wait a minute, you mean Tsukasa is your new partner?" Soujiro asked Tsukushi in disbelief.
"The bitch gave me a bloody fucking black eye!" Tsukasa shouted.
"You deserved it for what you said earlier in the gym asshole!" Tsukushi shouted back.
One of the waiters nervously came up to the two of them and asked them to keep it down.
"Sir, miss, please calm down. You are disturbing the other customers. My boss will fire me if you don't cooperate," the waiter begged them.
Tsukushi and Tsukasa gave a grunt and seated themselves down.
"Yuki, why didn't you tell me it was Tsukasa that was coming?" Tsukushi asked her friend through clenched teeth.
"I sweat I didn't know it was him. Soujiro never told me his name," Yuki explained.
"Come on guys, let's stop fighting and enjoy dinner," Soujiro said to everybody.
"You seem to be alright with everything. I'll get you for this Soujiro. You should have told me she was my date!" Tsukasa growled at his friend.
"You guys just had a bad impression of each other. Both of you aren't that bad, or else I wouldn't be friends with you," Soujiro stated.
"Excuse me, but I'm going to the bathroom," Tsukushi suddenly stated.
"I'm gonna make a phone call," Tsukasa said afterwards.
When the both had left, Yuki turned to her boyfriend.
"Don't you think this is a bad idea? I mean just look at them, they hate each other!" Yuki said to him.
"Nah, I think this is actually a good thing. If you think about it they're probably the only two people that could handle each other. They're both stubborn but they're still nice people once you get to know them," Soujiro said and took a sip of wine.
Yuki looked at her boyfriend with an amused smile on her face.
"Since when have you gotten so wise all of a sudden about these things?"
"Being in a relationship with the sweetest girl I guess makes a guy smarter," Soujiro said and gave a quick kiss to Yuki, who blushed.
"Well, we'll see. Who knows, things might actually turn out well."
Tsukasa and Tsukushi came back and dinner was actually pleasant. Tsukushi and Tsukasa decided to stop bickering…much. The night ended Yuki and Soujiro headed home, leaving the two of them. Tsukushi started to walk towards her apartment, which was only a few blocks away.
"Hey mind if I walk with you a bit?" Tsukasa asked, walking beside her.
"Uhh, I guess it's alright," she replied, a bit confused at his sudden kindness.
"So, you walking home?" Tsukasa asked.
"Yeah"
"It was a nice dinner wasn't it," Tsukasa asked.
"What's up with you all of a sudden? Why are you being nice? Are you trying to apologize to me?" Tsukushi asked him curiously.
"Hey, I'm just starting a conversation a and you're trying to bite my head off," Tsukasa looked straight ahead of him not facing her.
Tsukushi studied his face for a few seconds and noticed a faint blush on his cheeks. Well, what do you know. He is apologizing to me. Tsukushi thought and smiled inwardly at the sudden shyness the man who towered over her suddenly developed.
"I shouldn't have hit you in the face earlier today. I hate the idea of having to constantly fight with you everyday. What do you say we start over?" Tsukushi suggested.
Tsukushi turned to her and genuinely smiled.
"Alright, sounds like a good idea."
"Great. Well this is me right here," Tsukushi said to him as she stopped in front of a building. "I'll see you tomorrow then," she told him with a smile.
Tsukasa's breath caught as she smiled at him, with the moonlight on her back.
"Tsukasa?" Tsukushi asked when he just stared at her.
"Oh yeah, right, sure. Tomorrow then. Don't forget to bring your luggage to the airport tomorrow when we go to Florida."
"I won't. I guess we need to get used to each other since we're gonna be working undercover together tomorrow," Tsukushi said.
"Goodnight Tsukasa," she said and opened the door to her apartment building.
"Yeah, night."
Well, this was an interesting evening. Who would have thought we'd be nice to each other after all. Tsukasa thought to himself as he walked towards the subway station to go home.
