Presenting to all the peeps who love F4: ~*Found The Joy In You*~ by Coral_Bluz.

Chapter 14: Well taken care of.

-=-

My head felt heavy and tears blurred my vision as my savior picked me up right then and carried me into a car.

In the car, I heard another totally different conversation.

"Where are we going, Sir?"

"Back home."

"Yes, Sir."

-silence-

"Makino. Makino...wake up."

Strange.

How did he know my name anyway?

This seems familiar.

The guy tapped my cheek and I could feel his fast and shallow breathing

I tried my best to open my eyes and saw Rui.

"Rui, where are you bringing me?"

"To my place."

"What for?"

"You are injured badly and need some medication."

"I..."

"I have informed Tsukasa and the others. They will be joining us in a while."

He's talking in that tone again. Did he really know about it?

"You know what's going on, right?"

He gave a slight smile and turn back to the window.

"Hai. Akira and I have checked your records."

"Rui..."

"You have not got into any accidents, not to even mention losing your memory."

"I have my own difficulties."

"I understand."

"You do?"

"After all, we are your friends."

-silence-

"We've reached. Come on. I'll show you to the guestroom."

"Hai."

"Here. Take some rest. I'll go get first-aid."

Rui's house was very big, but simple. There wasn't much furniture or decorations.

It was so peaceful and relaxing. The surrounding was more to nature than the city life.

I sat in the guestroom and look out the window. There's was a big fishpond nearby. Hmm...it's so quiet around here.

No wonder Rui have such a mysterious personality too. When I'm thinking about these, my wounds don't seem to hurt so much.

Sigh...what should I do when Doumyouji arrive?

*Ding dong!*

"WHERE'S that woman!?"

Sigh...such a nice atmosphere is broken by a certain Baka.

"Tsukasa. Keep quiet. Remember what you promise?", so Akira's here too?

"ALRIGHT!"

"Tsukasa~"

Soujirou spoke up this time," Rui, where's Tsukushi?"

"Guestroom."

I could hear many footsteps.

Sigh, I'm gonna be dead now.

The door opened, but I didn't turn. Or rather, afraid to turn and face them...HIM.

Rui walk in and sat beside me with a first-aid box and started to cleanse my wounds.

By then, a hand stopped him.

"Rui...I'll take over from here. Thanks."

Rui nodded and walked away.

Uw. Rui~

I stood up and use the rest of my strength and step on the baka's leg.

"Baka!"

This was also the first time in days I had contact with his eyes.

But then, I fell again. I close my eyes and await the time when my body reached the floor, but that never happen.

"Baka yourself. I'm not gonna let you fall", I know he whisper so the rest couldn't hear, but I did.

He carry me up and bought me out of the house.

I couldn't protest as I didn't have anymore energy to fight.

On the way, Soujirou and Akira was laughing.

What for? Urgh~ Stupid playboys.

I look at Rui and quietly hope he will understand that I didn't want to go to Doumyouji's house but he smiled and nodded again.

What did he mean?

The Baka closed the car door and waved to F3.

"Sir?"

"Back home"

"Yes, Sir."

Are the whole of F4 like this?

Rui was the same when we came to his house. Do none of them drive usually?

But then, I was interrupted by...

Doumyouji.

"I want to get off now."

I struggled and managed to push him away, but Doumyouji sat closer and hug me.

Oh no, what now?

"Stop that. Or else I'll step on your feet again."

-silence-

"Hey. Get off me!"

"Makino...don't avoid me anymore."

"Huh?"

"We all know everything already. Yuki told us too. It's enough."

Yuki~

Sigh. I knew it. That Soujirou must have used his charm on her. Damn that guy

But I kept silent. I didn't want to face him. Neither do I know what to say.

"I know you didn't want to get any of us in trouble."

-silence-

"But...I'm not afraid. In fact, I wish you will get me involved. I want to stand by you through all the difficulties."

"I..."

"So, don't worry. I won't let you fall. Let me be beside you."

There. He's done it again.

My tears began to fall.

-=-

Although I am not facing her, but I know Makino's crying.

Minutes later, my shirt was wet.

"Makino?"

-silence-

I pull her from my embrace and realized she had fallen asleep.

Sigh. Baka. Always making me worry for you.

Finally, we reached. I carried her to my room and slowly put on her the bed and covered her up like the previous time.

Stupid woman. Forever making a mess and expect others to clear up after her.

Even I don't know how to deal with her.

-=-

Is it nice? I'm very so nervous now. In your reviews, some sound ok. Others are confused. Uww~

P/S: School's opening. So I'll try my best to update. Ok? Gotta go.
