Author's note: It has been a long time since I wrote my last piece of work. Well, I didn't feel like writing or rather I did not have the inspiration to write. Pardon me, I think I'm mad. The exam stress is killing me. Looking at everyone holding a book and study, I realised that I haven't touching my book for a thousand years. Any way, here's the chapter and I hope that you will love it 'cause I'm loving it! Ha, I'm being lame.

Tsukushi's POV:

Chapter 3:

I just realised that man are stupid and heartless creatures. Why? Look at Rui! It has been two days since we've met and he is suppose to call me yesterday which he never did. Why can't he just humour me? I'm a girl, I like being cared for and loved. Rui, since you are being such a blockhead, I'm going to ignore for the rest of my life! Fine, may be not the rest of my life but definitely more than a week. 'Tsukushi, are you ready to go?!' Tsukasa yelled from the end of the office. Back to reality and get cracking.

'Yes, you can stop yelling,' I said wearily, tired of putting up with Tsukasa's childish acts. He hasn't been kind to me at all. He made me do all the paper work for him and threatened to kick me out of the house. But I knew he wouldn't dare, unless he wants the whole company to know that we are cousins and that we are living together.

'We'll be going to Ryonan High School to do a write up with Sendoh-san, one of our Basketball team Japan player. '

'Am I deaf or are you going crazy?' I replied, ' if we are going to do a write up on him, aren't we suppose to go to the sports hall or something?'

'Didn't you hear what I said yesterday? I told you that Ryonan High School is celebrating it's 20th establishment so Sendoh-san will be there at it's his alma mater.'

'I'm sorry. I'm just not in the mood to listen to you.'

'Looking at your behaviour, you must have quarrelled with your boyfriend,' Tsukasa analyzed. I blushed as he hit bullseye to what's making me feel listless. 'But then again, who would be so stupid to take you as a girl friend?' I gave him a deadly stare. How can he say that! 'That's the truth! Look at you. There's nothing about you that resembles a woman. Women should have a hour glass figure unlike you. You have a flat chest and you don't have a butt. It's all completely flat!' He mocked. My face turned real red out of anger and out of embarrassment. I feel like bashing him up!

'Doumyoji, one word nonsensical word from you and I'll make sure that the WHOLE WORLD know that I'm staying with you,' I hissed as a smirk spread over my face for I know that would shut him up. He looked at me in dismay.

'Alright, I'll stop. Now let's get going before we are late,' Doumyoji said.

******************************************

(at home)

Doumyoji surprised me when he did the interview with Sendoh. I never knew that an idiot like him could actually be professional when it comes to work. May be he is not that bad. 'Tsukushi, get me a cup of coffee,' he yelled from the living room.

'Don't you have limbs? Go get it yourself,' I shouted back from my room. What's with him? He is nearer to the kitchen than I am. Besides, he is the one who wants a cup of coffee, he should get it by himself.

'Tsukushi, you better get me a cup of coffee now or I'll throw you out of the house. Don't forget you are stay in MY HOUSE!' I get out of my room and went into the kitchen. It's not that I'm easily controlled, it's just that I too tired to quarrel with him.

'Here's your coffee,' I said, putting the cup on the table.

'Thanks,' Tsukasa said politely. I stared at him, jaws dropping. Since when Tsukasa knows how to thank people?

'What did you say?' I asked.

'I said Thanks'

'You are welcome,' I replied and headed for my room.

'Tsukushi wait. I. . . I need your help.'

'So that's why you said thanks. I was still wondering why you were being nice. Why should I help you? You are always mean you mean. I won't help unless. . .'

'Unless what?'

'You stop bullying me and making me do all the house work!'

'Deal. I will be nice to you if you can help me choose a present for a friend.'

'A friend? You mean for your girlfriend!' I mocked. I didn't know he could be so thoughtful and caring as to buy a gift for his girlfriend. Rui never did. He don't even know when's my birthday. 'We shall go shopping to tomorrow. By the way, do you have a budget?'

'No. I'm willing to spend any amount.'

**************************

(Next day at Tiffany and Co. )

'That diamond necklace is so beautiful. It will definitely make your girl smile for one week!' I exclaimed, looking at the display infront of me. The necklace has a heart-shaped diamond pendant and the necklace itself has a tiny pieces of diamond. If I were rich I would buy it.

'You sure? I'll buy it if you insist. I trust your taste,' Doumyoji replied.

'Yup. If I were her, I would kiss you when you give me that necklace.'

'Okay. Miss, please wrap this up for me.'

'Sir, that would be ¥200 000 000' Doumyoji handed his credit card to the sales girl without hesitation. That was a very expensive gift!

'I'm sorry, I should have looked at the price before suggesting.'

'Don't worry. Like I said, I'm willing to spend any amount.' I don't know who is this lucky girl but I sure hope that she will be very very happy to receive such a present. If it was Rui, Rui would probably said it was expensive and would rather spend it on a new piano. Perhaps, I don't mean much to Rui. 'Tsukushi, thank you so much. Let's have lunch, my treat.'
