Tokyo Crazy Paradise : The Untold Chapters

Chapter 2: Ryuji & Tsukasa

Just as I thought.. Not many are familiar with the manga I'm using so I guess I have to insert more background story on the subject.

As I have mentioned, I am putting our favorite Hana Yori Dango characters in the Tokyo Crazy Paradise (TCP) manga universe. As I have mentioned, TCP is a shoujo manga by Yoshiki Nakamura published in the Shoujo biweekly Hana To Yume. It has finished it run but it remains one of my favorite series for all time. A really funny and action-packed shoujo series about yakuza and there was a cross-dressing love story too *hint*hint* Currently, it is being scanlated by Manga-Sketchbook but the translations to all volumes can be found if you look hard enough.

A rough guide to yakuza.. just in case you did not know, yakuza is what they call Japanese mafia, triads or gangsters. Like the mafia and the Hong Kong triads (as far as I learn from what I watch in the movies), it is usually controlled by a family and the leadership is passed down through generations of yakuza family. In TCP, that person was Ryuji Shirogami, the third generation leader of Kuryugumi (a yakuza group that controlled Kanto area or roughly the whole Tokyo) who lead the group at the age of 14 (no I am not kidding). But in the manga, he looked way older and much more cooler. He is classmates with Kozuki Tsukasa since they were little and discovered Tsukasa's big secret after he save him from drowning. (A secret I am going to disclose in this chapter). BTW, in the story, all of the yakuza members under him addressed him as Sandaime (literally, third generation).

Kozuki Tsukasa actually hated the yakuza as the yakuza killed his parents (who were actually both special forces polices) and most of all, he hated rapist and gangsters (that was why he saved Tsukushi in the first chapter). But after his parents' deaths, the family had no money so Tsukasa asked Ryuji to help. In return for the money, Ryuji forced Tsukasa to become his bodyguard but he always sneakily increase the size of the debt by charging Tsukasa for everything (as I will show in coming chapters) as that was the only way Tsukasa would stay by his side. Why he wants Tsukasa always by his side? *giggles* Okay.. I don't want to spoil you guys before the current chapter.

If you guys already reading or current reading TCP, this story takes place after the whole TCP series ended. Both Ryuji and Tsukasa is 18 (not 14 as in the manga). Makino is 17 and Doumyouji is 18. But I promise I won't put any spoilers on the TCP ending. I don't think I would anyway because this story did not have any links to any TCP events.

By the way, I am going to make this story a TxT fic because to tell the truth, I totally sucks at all my attempts of doing RxT fics and also the fact that I have a super-sized crush on Doumyouji. But Rui will be in the story.. Who is the bad guy? To tell the truth.. both Rui and Tsukasa are actually good guys turn bad guys. Confused? *evil laugh* Have you guys thought that Makino was actually the villain? Hehe.. You guys will understand once I go on with the next chapters. So, ploofie, XxSwtDreamerxX1 and Kyoufan17.. thanks for your reviews.. and here's the next chapter

Also, from now on I will always call Kozuki Tsukasa as Tsukasa.. and Doumyouji Tsukasa as Doumyouji to avoid any confusion.

The bad thing about doing an action packed fanfic is that it's hard to use sound effects approriately (because lots of things and sounds would go off at the same time adding to the confusion). So when you guys reading this, excuse the liberal use of sound effects which pop out of no where at times.. I am one really demented fanfic writer.

Crashh.. Bang... Dushh... (insert lots of noises of things like pots and vases crashing).

Kaya-san just got back from the market. When she reached home, she was greeted by a loud noises and a loud commotion from the backyard. She ditched all of the groceries and rushed to the back. Much to her horror, Tsukasa and Tsukushi is engaged in a battle.

Makino proved to be quite a fighter and held her own end in the battle. Tsukasa worked up quite a sweat but managed to land a few blows on Makino showing that Tsukasa was the better fighter out of the two. But Makino was not the kind of girl that would lose easily and sure enough, she got up and fought back as hard as Tsukasa did causing Tsukasa to retreat a few steps back after a combo of fast punches and hooks by Makino.

" Kaya-san. You better get away. It is dangerous here," yelled Tsukasa as he dodged another of Makino's super spinning kick. Kyaaa........!!!!!!!!! Grabbing hold of Makino's leg, he unleashed a right hook straight towards Makino's head. Makino caught Tsukasa's fist and twisted it, momentarily immobilizing him.

Kaya-san gaped in horror. " I hope both of you know what you are doing." as she close the door, she mumbled to herself. " Girls these days. It's terrible the things they have to learn to protect themselves."

Just then, Makino let go of Tsukasa and both of them collapsed to the ground giggling. Tsukasa patted Makino on her back.

" You are good. In fact, I think you could have taken care the five thugs yourself." Makino grinned.
" But if I did, I would not have met you."
" Guess we better stop now. I am due to be at Ryuji's place at 10. I must hurry."
" Tsukasa, why do you stay to work with him? I thought you said you hated the yakuza?"
Tsukasa smiled knowingly. " A lot of people ask but they failed to see that there was a simple reason to it."
" What?"

Tsukasa did not answer back. She just grab her towel and went for shower. Makino frowned. Tsukasa liked to remain mysterious about this Ryuji guy. Makino did not know why. She could tell that there was something more between them then what meets the eye.

As Tsukasa stripped down, he started thinking of Makino's question. Yes, the reason was really simple.

It was for honour.. and love...

Smiling dreamily, he started to lather up the soap and was about to start shampooing the hair when he heard Makino screamed. Thinking that she was in danger, Tsukasa grabbed hold of the towel and rushed to Makino's side only to have her screaming louder when she sees Tsukasa.

" You.. This.. what??" Puzzled, Tsukasa told Makino to calm down and say what was it so distressing.

" I wanted to find towels and Kaya-san said that there was extra ones in your room and when I enter.. I saw this.. and you.. who are you?"
" Makino.. what are you babbling?" said Kaya-san when she entered the room.

Pointing at the messy room, Makino yelled. " Tsukasa-kun's a sex pervert!!" Tsukasa's eyes nearly popped out. Kaya-san on the other hand could hardly contain her laughter. "Look at all these female undergarments and also this girl suddenly come out from the shower wearing nothing but a towel."

Just then, Tsukasa started to laugh hysterically. Confused, Makino asked what was it so funny.

" Makino, look at me. It's me Tsukasa. I'm sorry Kaya-san. It totally slipped my mind." Kaya-san also started laughing really hard. Makino shaking her head. " Why are the two of you laughing? I better get Tsukasa-kun.. He must have been still in the shower. He should be smacked for all this and on top of all, he dared to bring a girl home to shower with him. "

Tsukasa stopped Makino from babbling any further (and continue making a fool out of herself), " Makino.. Look.. I am Tsukasa-kun." Makino shook her head again.
" Don't kid me. Tsukasa-kun a guy.. he shouldn't have breast like..." Looking more closely at Tsukasa. " But you do look like Tsukasa-kun."

Then, it finally hit her.

Kozuki Tsukasa is actually not a guy. Kozuki Tsukasa is actually a she.

And then, Makino started to scream the loudest.

* * * *

" Tsukasa, you should have told her."
" I am sorry, Kaya-chan. I really forgot."
" Poor Makino. She must have been really shocked."

It took Tsukasa the rest of the morning explaining about the fact that she, Kozuki Tsukasa was really born female but was raised as a male to protect her from Tokyo's society deteriorating morals. " My parents though it is safer to be a guy so they chose to raise me as a guy instead. And because of my brothers, I myself was happy to be brought up that way."
" But surely someone would notice. And what happen.. err.. your chest?" Blushing, Tsukasa showed her a black protector vest designed to hide her feminine assets as well as protect her from direct chest injury. " Neat, isn't it? My parents thought up everything. No one outside the family, Kaya san.. and .. " she sighed regretfully.. ".. a few other people knew about her gender. But lately, many already knew that I am a girl yet I am more comfortable going around as male. I guessed I have been a guy too long, I am pretty new at becoming a girl."

Glancing at the clock, her hair shot up like Medusa. " Oh my.. Ryuji going to kill me. I am LATE!!!!!!"

Just like lightning, Tsukasa went out in a flash. Makino sighed. " It's really embarrassing. How could I? Calling a girl a hentai.." She buried her face onto the palms of her hand.
" It's not your fault."
" But.. I.. I must make up to Tsukasa. Is there anything I can do." Kaya-san smiled back. " Perhaps there is something.."

* * * *

At the Kuryugumi Headquarters

Ryuji were taking a long, deep whiff of his cigarette. He looked calm but inside he was really pissed off. Tsukasa was late.

I told her to stay here with me but no, she insist staying at Kaya-san's place.

Then, all sorts of perverted thoughts flash across Ryuji's mind. About everyday waking up in the morning with Tsukasa sprawled on top of him. Her protector vest and the rest of her (and his) clothing on the floor. With his hands caressing her smooth, fair back right down to her butt. His muscular legs rubbing against her long slender ones. How she would sigh contentedly as he kisses her ears down to her neck, her chest, her breast...

" Ryuji!! Are you listening to me?" yelled Doumyouji. Ryuji quickly snapped out of his very hentai daydream. For someone who looks and act very mature beyond his age, he has one really healthy testosterone-charged adolescent sexual fantasy.. ^-^;;; Ryuji always come across as somebody calm and uneasily perturbed by his surroundings. Most of the time, he was quite intimidating with his towering presence. But lately, he could not control his temper. And Tsukasa's antics are not the only reason to his behavior.

Tthe other reason he was severely pissed off was that ever since Doumyouji came to Kuryugumi, he have been endlessly irritating Ryuji with his persistent complains and demands. Sure, Doumyouji Corporation and Kuryugumi had a long history together. Both organizations have given each other a lot of business and Doumyouji Corporation in particular also served as the front end of Kuryugumi 'legal' business. Kuryugumi on the other hand helped Doumyouji Corporation rise by channeling funds and also by helping the company gain upper hand against their competitors through 'illegal means'. It's devious but then, this is the reality in Tokyo today.

Ryuji accepted his position as Kuryugumi's leader. A position he was born into. Yet he yearned to be a normal guy who don't have the responsibility of hundreds (or as rumors has it.. thousands) of lives in his hands every second of the day. And most of all, he yearned to choose who he loved according to his heart not the yakuza rules.

Kozuki Tsukasa was everything opposite of what he was. She was a police's daughter who hated the yakuza. They knew each other since kindergarten and he knew about her gender when they were in primary school. Ever since they were little, Ryuji wanted to be at her side. When, one day, Tsukasa came to ask for money, he got an idea how to make her be at his side. At the end, she ended up becoming his bodyguard to pay her debt. She would stay until she finished paying up but Ryuji would make sure she doesn't.

Because I don't want her to leave me ever..

When Doumyouji came to see him, he was reminded of his feelings towards Tsukasa. If he was in Doumyouji's shoes, he knew that he would move heaven and earth to get Tsukasa back. This was the reason he agreed to help Doumyouji to find this girl called Makino Tsukushi. A girl no one has a clue on how to find her among the millions of Tokyo inhabitants. A girl that only one thing he knew for sure. The fact that Doumyouji was nuts about her and would prepare to sacrifice his own life to get her back.

So how could she left him if he loved her that much? Baka onna...

Doumyouji kept rambling about it has been days but still there were no news of Makino. " It was as if she just vanish into thin air."
" No one can disappear without a trace."
" That's exactly my point. Then, the most probable reason is that the Kuryugumi informant networks is less efficient than I thought it should be."

Bang.. Ryuji slammed his fist down the table.
" Do not underestimating us. I warn you Doumyouji. You are getting on my nerves."

Startled, Doumyouji calmed down a little. Later, he mumbled an apology, " Sorry.. I really am. But I can't help if I have a temper as big as Hokkaido."
" Make it the whole Japan."
" Anyway.. what I am really saying is that it has been days and still.." Doumyouji slumped back onto the snug, leather sofa. " Ryuji.. I can't think. I can't work. All my thoughts were on her. I am worried. One day before our wedding, she just .. poof.. gone.. just like that."
" Perhaps she did not want to marry you."
" No..." Doumyouji stared into space. " Makino really loved me and she damn well knew how much I love her. She would not leave like that."
" Then, she must have been kidnapped?"
" Then, where's the ransom note? Also, her things were also gone. She left but why.. I did not know." Looking at Ryuji in the eye, Doumyouji affirmed it again. " She loved me. No girl in love would leave before marrying her beloved if not for something important or dangerous."
" So, you think she's in danger." Doumyouji nodded.
" That's what I needed you to find out."

Just then, Ryuji heard the door creaked open. " Who's there?" his intimidating voice boomed across the room, sending shivers down the eavesdropper's spine. The door gaped wider and Tsukasa's head popped out from behind it. " Err.. sorry for being late."

Ryuji was staring so hard at Tsukasa, she could feel it tore her like hundreds of knives piercing through her body. Dark aura emanated from Ryuji. Obviously, he was not in a good mood.

Seeing this, Doumyoji excused himself. The rest of all people in the room followed suit leaving only Ryuji and Tsukasa alone in the room. After the last person left, Ryuji commanded Tsukasa to lock the door. Just as she had her back against him to lock it, Tsukasa can feel his hands crawling up her waist and immediately...

Kya.... Her flying super spinning kick hit Ryuji right smack at the stomach sending him across the room and splat on the opposite wall. " I told you, never to hug me like that."

Ryuji (in his ecchi mode) sprang next to Tsukasa and trapped her against the wall. " Well, who told you to be late. Now, I have to punish you."
" Err.. Ryuji.. can you calm down? Are you ill..? You looked ill?" Ryuji ignored the questions.
" What sort of punishment you think I have in mind? Perhaps something with chains.. silk restrains... and a bed. And you wearing nothing but high heels..."

Tsukasa squirmed. At times like this, Ryuji can be quite a monster. A really, perverted monster..

" Err.. isn't that Doumyouji.. the millionaire guy. What he's doing here? Are you interested in business shares?" Ryuji's fingers crept along Tsukasa's arms, purposely rubbing against her soft skin really slow.
" Actually.. I have other business in mind." His fingers slipped around her waist. Tsukasa struggled but she was trapped. Ryuji lowered her gaze towards Tsukasa's lips. They were so close that Tsukasa practically can feel his breath against her cheek. His sweet cologne scent was making her dizzy. Or perhaps it was his touches that was making her mind increasingly woozy.
" Like stocks.. bond.. You know, Japan market is entering a good year I heard.." Tsukasa started rambling nonsensically, trying really hard to free herself. Her ramblings became increasingly incoherent most probably because she was so busy diverting Ryuji's hands which were doing some indiscreet exploration of her body. ^-^;;;

Just when things started to heat up, Bun-san popped out of the door (obviously Tsukasa did not manage to fully lock the door). Bun-san or Shibuya Ryoko was Ryuji's other bodyguard and he came in just in time to see Ryuji and Tsukasa in a very compromising position. Intentionally coughing, he looked away as he told Ryuji that Doumyouji just left the Kuryugumi premises. Taking the opportunity, Tsukasa shoved Ryuji off her and quickly hid behind Bun-san (for protection..) Ryuji groaned in response of that.

" Sandaime, I thought Doumyouji-kun was unbearable that you'd be happy that he left." said Bun-san fully aware that Doumyouji's departure was not the cause of Ryuji's groan.

Ryuji cleared his throat. Oh well.. I'll have more time with Tsukasa another time. This time..

" What do we currently have about this Makino girl? Any leads on her.."

Makino?

Tsukasa nearly choked when she heard that. So, Doumyouji was really trying to find Makino. Makino is in grave danger. Clearing her throat, Tsukasa nonchalantly asked, " Who's this Makino?"
Bun-san explain about Doumyouji and Ryuji's relationship and the current mission.

" Do you really trust this guy? I mean, I might be wrong but if the girl really loved him as he said she was, she wouldn't have left. Perhaps he was the one stalking her and forced her to marry him," said Tsukasa.
Bun-san shook his head. " We checked with our people in Okinawa. Everything he told us was true. " In disbelief, she retorted. " Perhaps he bribed everyone in the island. You know this millionaires. They probably use their money to get everybody to listen to them."
" What's with this paranoia? You don't even know that guy before this?" said Ryuji.
" I don't know. I have this police instinct that went off like a siren around him. Bad Guy Alert! Bad Guy Alert! I know, I could get Kise Akira-kun run a check on him and find out if his legitimate."

Ryuji gritted his teeth. He hated it everytime Tsukasa mention about Kise Akira. Kise Akira was a special forces police which had befriended Tsukasa years ago and they remained best friends even after he knew about Tsukasa's yakuza ties. I fact, Ryuji did not just hated him. Ryuji abhorred him. " How can you ask a police to do Kuryugumi work? Baka.."
" Hey.. watch who you are calling a baka?"
" Look who's the boss here. If you don't want to add up another 100,000 yen to the debt.. you can go ahead and ask for that police doggie for help."

Tsukasa boiled inside. She on the other hand, detested the way Ryuji manipulated her debt as an excuse to get her to follow his commands. In fact, it was damn right infuriating.

" As I could see, I have no more business to attend here. So, off I go back home to my beloved brothers.." Ryuji was about to stop her but Bun-san grabbed his arm and whispered something to Ryuji's ears. His face darken. He just stared after Tsukasa as she stormed out of the room. When she was gone, Ryuji hollered at Bun-san.

" What do you mean Tsukasa have something to do with that girl?"
" An informant told us that some gang members got bashed up really bad a few days ago by some guy fitting Tsukasa's description. And at that time, the gangsters was about to attack a girl which we confirmed looked exactly like Makino Tsukushi."
" Are you suggesting that Tsukasa is hiding the girl?"
" Actually no. I thought she was protecting the girl. Knowing her, I know that she would bring the girl home after she saved the girl from the thugs."
" So, are you suggesting that I turn her in to Doumyouji. You know I would not do that."
" In fact, what I am suggesting was the absolute contrary. We let Tsukasa hid the girl for a while."
" Then, what do we suppose to do. Doumyouji is becoming more demanding. And I don't trust him to stay still and do nothing."
" That's why we need to investigate further. Sandaime, I am aware of your mistrust of Doumyouji and at your command, I have already instructed our people to watch his every move."

Ryuji smiled. " I knew I could count on you, Bun-san." Then, his face darkened. " Sadly, your sense of timing are not as good as your other skills."

SD shot of Bun-san getting sweat drops. :-i

Mmmm.. I think I need to change the age ratings. PG-13? This is one deliciously fan servicy chapter. ^-^

To HYD fans, sorry there was not much of Makino and Doumyouji in this chapter. To TCP fans on the other hand like you scorpion2.. this one is dedicated for you guys. Rather relieved that I can start using she for Tsukasa. More HYD and TCP characters will appear on next chapter and if things went as what I have in mind. Another F4 member will appear in the next chapter. So keep on reviewing and I'll keep writing new chapters. Bye...
