Chapter 5
a/n okay... thanks for the review. I've been currently delving on the matters of reading other works........ so it pains me that I have neglected this fic of mine. Honestly, I'm currently reading Wuthering Heights. And as so much liked Heathcliff's 'likeable character'

That's a good way to die right? Considering the colorful events that happened earlier today.
I buried myself relentlessly in the cold shower wishing I'd die of frost bite than to leave the care of my solitude. My room. I tried as much to wash my head of everything that happen today. And I don't care if I'll miss the delightful evening I have to spend with that........... woman.
"Shuichi? You're going to be late you're picking up Maya at 8 and it's nearly time." My mom knocked several times.
As I lazily approached the door, I replied a drowsily that I'll be done in a few minutes as I continued to dry my hair with my towel....... And can't help to remember what happen last morning, and did I deserve it?
flashback
I woke up early in the morning fresh and happy. I have decided. There is no harm of having a date with her...... and with that in mind, I can easily imagine the kitsune nodding in agreement. I propped myself up, and decided to give myself a rewarding hot spring bath with Yusuke and the gang before the evening starts. And I bet I'll have a LOT of useful information set for me—how excited I am.
I've done a mental count on the money I should bring in case the gang will urge me (or most horridly---will torture me) to pay for them........ as I finished this, I went for the things I needed for the bath and imagined the contact of my skin on hot water – for the first time I came back here. I've also grown a bouquet of fresh white and red thorn less roses all packed and designed and ready to go. Sometimes it really amazes me that for just one night spend with her, I'll go all the way as to waste my energy and test my artistic skills in making this bouquet. That thought made me smile. I really loved her. Or so it seems until this illusion torments me no more, hopefully before her wedding.
A sound of a frantic call from my mom, reached my ears. I hurried downstairs to see what happened. I reached the last step of the stairs, and saw Tanaka-san talking with his associate. As they said their goodbyes, I hurried to the door and looked at Tanaka-san with an inquiring look. He smiled at me.... Weirdly.
"You remember Mr. Hajime right?" He began to ask, with which I replied with a nod.
"He just informed me that his daughter is here and is currently staying at the Empire Continental Hotel. You remember Maya right?" And yet he asked again, I nodded and gave out a huge sigh.
Who could ever forget that sly woman? That woman who has that exaggerated bedroom voice. Thought she's not that unpleasant to look at but she really pisses us—and the fox off. I can't believe that such a woman is permitted to live.
I ended my musings, to get a hold of my father's last words.
"—she has agreed to come with you to that Valentine's party tonight. Her father said you'll pick her up by eight." With that, I scramble to explain to him that I already am engaged with going out with somebody. And who said I asked her to come anyway?
If my senses had became so crowded that morning, I would have shredded Tanaka-san to pieces, (well, he IS not my father so, why should I bother to be sorry?) only if my mom hadn't married him. I gave him a dirty look of hatred and anger only to be replied by a laugh.
I quickly picked up my cell phone and informed Yusuke that I can't join them. And gave a fast run upstairs to my bedroom and brought out the flowers.
No, I'm not letting that wench have these on her own comfort. With the looks of her, she doesn't deserve any. NO. ONE. DESERVES MY EFFORT. MY ENERGY. BUT HER. Besides, I can't tell that wench that I made these, she'll never believe it.
I heard my mom's disagreement with Tanaka-san while I was coming downstairs. But the man didn't budge, he stood firm of his senseless decision and ended the discussion. Sometimes, I can't help be reminded that THIS is the man who made my kaa-san happy.
Before I successfully approach the door without them knowing, mom hurried to catch up to me and asked where I was going.
"I'll bring these to the person intended for." I replied, not making the slightest effort to turn around, I headed straight for the door and got out successfully, while hearing Tanaka-san bid me a good luck.
I gave myself a deep inhale and walked down the Reikai Castle's hallway. And passed by a certain person that I'm currently irritated with.
"It's half past lunch Kurama, why so early?" The Reikai prince greeted me, quite perplexed on why I stand in front of him, bringing flowers for---HIS fiancée on lunch time.
"I need to see Botan." I urged, and with that serious tone, he hastily directed me to the library as he calls for her from her chambers.
A few minutes passed by, until I heard light footsteps approaching the library.
"Kurama? Is there something wrong?" She asked me worriedly, as she approached me.
I stood up and we met halfway, I handed her the bouquet.
"These are for you." I smiled gloomily. It can't be worse than anything than this!!
"Thanks. They're wonderful. Thank you for making these for me." She smiled with a puzzled expression.
"Look, I'm really sorry... but I can't escort you tonight." I abruptly stop my tirade when I saw her still posting a smile, with it seems tears brimming in her eyes.
"Oh. That's fine it's alright really. I might as well force Koenma-sama to accompany me. Its fine don't worry about it. So is that all?" she asked back.
"Yeah. I guess. I'm really sorry." I emphasized my apology. Thought it pains me to know she doesn't even care as to why I'm not going to be with her tonight.
"It's fine Kurama, well, uhm..... I really have chores to do..... so..." She tried to excuse herself.
"look, I didn't---"I tried also to retort but.
"I said its fine Kurama. You can go now. Thank you for the flowers." She replied, turning around and left me alone in my misery.
end flashback
I carelessly put on the suite and didn't even glance at the mirror to look at myself. I quickly got the flowers Tanaka-san brought and exited my room.
Tanaka-san insisted on taking the porche for that wench's ride and I was off to that hotel.
What in the world is going to happen to me?!
a/n so please have reviews. I need comments if I should continue. The plot will be revealed in the next chapter............ so if I don't get enough reviews, maybe my fic doesn't appeal to anybody and might as well pull it out....
