Chapter 6: Dejavu
"She's fallen asleep, I'll leave you alone for a while." Rui said as he closed the door behind him.
Tsukasa didn't even bother responding and continued to sit, his hands gripping the arms of the chair in the dark corner of the room. He continued to watch the sleeping form of the woman he loved. It was strange even from such the other side of the room he could hear her heart beat, and it was beating in rhythm with his. Despite the circumstances he felt himself smile, 'I really am losing my mind…hearts beating in unison?'
Then again Tsukushi did return to him after she died. It's not so hard to believe that they were somehow connected, was it?
Why then could Rui, of all people be able to see her and not only that he could touch her as well minus the nasty side affects.
Tsukasa's eyebrows knotted in frustration. It was driving him crazy, and no matter how many times he replayed the scene in his head he always came to the same conclusion.
'Maybe it was Rui that she came back for and not him.'
Tsukasa frown grew deeper and he could almost feel his heart tighten with his fists, 'NO! That can't be it. She loves me…' Unable to find comfort in those words Tsukasa leaned back into the seat as he once again replayed the scene in his head.
(Flashback)
'"Why doesn't it hurt when I touch you?"
Rui stared blankly back at Tsukushi, while you could practically see the steam coming out of Tsukasa's ears as blind hatred was in his eyes.
'Why Rui?! Why always Rui!' he screamed internally.
Unable to contain himself any longer Tsukasa shoved Rui roughly to the side, the poor boy fell slightly back but was able to grab the handrail before he could fall down the long staircase.
Tsukasa then picked Tsukushi up and carried her over his shoulder ignoring the shooting pain and Tsukushi's pleas until they reached his room.
Rui still oblivious to the situation followed the furious Tsukasa up the stairs.
(Inside Tsukasa's room.)
Tsukasa gently placed Tsukushi on the floor of the room.
"Tsukasa! You hurt me!" His girlfriend cried as she straightened herself.
Rui eyes widened, 'Since when did she start referring to Tsukasa by his first name and so naturally too? He would consider himself lucky if he ever heard his name without 'Hanazawa' connected to it.'
Tsukasa looked apologetically at his girlfriend, sure he was angry, no more like mad as hell but he shouldn't have grabbed her so roughly. He quickly apologized and attempted an explanation.
"I didn't mean to hurt you…and…well, I thought we probably shouldn't have our conversation right there on the staircase for everyone to see."
Tsukushi remained thoughtful for a moment but looking into his eyes she clapped her hands together and smiled sweetly at Domyouji.
"For someone who might as well have screamed that he was insane from the rooftops for all to hear, you are still pretty smart."
The innocent smile on her faced remained after she finished what she had said. She knew full well why he had reacted the way he had, he was jealous, mentally shaking her head she wondered how her idiot boyfriend could still have all the insecurities after all they'd been through. 'Have I really made him that insecure of my feelings?' she thought to herself as she looked up at Domyouji.
Tsukasa's eye twitched at Tsukushi's comment. He closed his eyes and breathed deeply in an attempt to stay calm; there was no time for one of their "arguments."
Tsukushi laughed softly, he was cute when he acted all serious and all this time she had thought he looked scary. But before she could enjoy the moment fully she felt the dizziness return as the room began to spin quickly around her. Luckily the bed was behind her and she felt the soft pillow and blankets surround her as she collapsed into it.
Tsukasa had attempted to grab her before she fell but instead only positioned his body to prevent the so far silent Rui from doing so. He relaxed when he saw her fall back onto the bed, 'Better than falling into Rui's arms again,' he said to himself.
Rui continued standing at the door, how could they both act so normal? If he didn't know better he would have thought that they were still the same as they were before Tsukushi's death. But to him this was completely mind boggling. He had so many question, but he felt like he was intruding on them especially with Domyouji giving him death glares every time his eyes rested on the girl now laying on the large King size bed.
Tsukushi didn't know why but she felt completely exhausted, drained off all her energy. Feeling Tsukasa sit down beside her she opened her eyes slightly at him and asked, "Where's Rui?"
"Here." Rui's monotone voice replied.
"We have a lot to talk about," Tsukushi smiled at him.
Domyouji hesitated before he moved from the bed and stood leaning against one of the four posts at the end of the large bed. His eyes never left Tsukushi's face as she retold the story of her death and re-appearance on earth. He couldn't pretend that he didn't feel cold inside whenever she touched Rui's hand or smiled her sweet smile.
'She's my girlfriend…no wife so why was she acting so intimately with Rui?'
Sighing he turned from the two people on the bed and walked out onto the balcony. The cold night breeze cut through his thin clothes, not seeming to notice the cold he leaned on the ledge and stared up into the sky, now filled with twinkling stars.
'I shouldn't be feeling jealous or be this angry…so why am I?' he questioned himself.
'I wish I could just hold you in my arms Tsukushi. I thought it was enough just having you by my side…but it'll never be enough until I can touch you, kiss you and look into your eyes as you tell me you love me…and not Rui.'
Tsukasa closed his eyes and inhaled deeply before making his way back into the room. Above him a shooting star crossed the sky before blinking into darkness.
(End Flashback)
Tsukasa opened his eyes when he heard Tsukushi murmur his name.
Approaching her side he kneeled beside her bed and looked lovingly at Makino.
Yawning she asked, "Where's Rui?"
A pang of jealousy stabbed his heart and prevented him from answering her question.
Concerned at his silence, Tsukushi sat up from the bed but she felt her body fall off the bed as the room began to fade.
Tsukasa caught her before she hit the floor and lifted her back onto the bed and just as she was again lying between the covers he felt himself being thrown across the room.
"Tsukasa!" Tsukasa heard Tsukushi scream.
He coughed as he struggled to breathe, he felt like someone had just hit with a truck. Feeling something warm trickle down his neck he lifted his hand and touched the back of his head where the shooting pain was coming from. He stared down at his blood-covered hand. If it didn't hurt so much he could almost laugh at his luck, 'More like lack of.'
"Makino! Makino! Answer me"
"Don't leave me Makino…not now. I need you!"
"...don't leave me…TSUKUSHI!!!!!!"
Umi blinked at the now frozen scene before her. The young man was holding the woman tightly in his arms.
Yukino spoke from behind her in the same monotonous tones as she had with all the others, "Case number 5671. Victim's stats: Name – Makino Tsukushi.
Age – 17 years, Nationality – Japanese, Birthplace…"
Umi stopped her mid-sentence, "And the man?"
Yukino paused as she flicked through her files, "Name - Domyouji Tsukasa, Age – 19…"
Umi sighed as she listened to the deadpan voice of Yukino; leaning over she looked at the face of the man before her. A smile appeared on her face, "Domyouji…this would, be interesting."
"Excuse me?" Yukino questioned, she was so absorbed in reading her files she didn't realize that Umi had spoken.
"I've made my decision…I choose this case. Domyouji Tsukasa and Makino Tsukushi prepare yourself for battle." Umi laughed.
Behind her Yukino cringed, 'This girl seems a bit unbalanced, will she be able to handle this situation?'
