Chapter 4: The Arrival
Tsukushi
I dread going to school. I have to face Domyoji. I have to face Asai & co. The boring lessons. But all of those are just excuses. What I really dread is I still haven't thought of how I am going to explain Dominic without raising his suspicion. Not only that, how am I suppose to explain Tatsuha and the rest. The stubborn curly head will not accept a simple 'they are old friends' though I will not degrade my relationship with Kagaya, Tatsuha, Nick, Raphael, Jay, Ryu and Dominic with a simple old friends. We are more than that.
I guess I just have to keep Domyoji from meeting anymore of them. Mama must not know either, I don't know what she will think up of next if she know that they are back...
In the mean time, I will just skip the rest of school, today is the last day of school anyway, everyone's of to a party (which I am conveniently not invited to) after school, so my absence should go unnoticed.
Domyoji
"Soujirou. Find out everything you know about Dominic." I said.
"Dominic who?" he asked.
"If I know I wouldn't ask you to find out for me. I only know Tsukushi knows him since a long time ago. She is refusing to tell me about that old man. Just scratch up all the dirt about him." I ordered.
"Why me? Domyoji has a better intelligence network compared to Nishikado."
"I don't want the old hag to know. Why are you asking so many questions?"
"Fine."
"Why don't you ask Tsukushi?" Akira ask.
I glared at him, "Didn't I just said she refuses to explain." My anger started to boil as I remembered how she defended that old man, and kicked me, her boyfriend out of the apartment instead.
"How about Yuki?"Akira said.
"Yuki." I stood up ready to storm of to Tsukushi's friend's house, when Soujirou pulled my arm.
"I'm coming. You will scare her with your state."
"How concerned you are being of her"Akira grinned.
"She is not Tsukushi. She is a normal girl."Soujirou said with a shrug.
"What do you mean." I asked, my voice letting him know, that his answer better not be sarcastic.
Soujirou gulped and started looking around for help when... "Hey, isn't that Tsukushi?"
My head snapped around to look out of the window. Confirming the back of my girlfriend, I walked out of class pursuing her. What the hell was she doing out of class so early anyway. Wasn't she the one who always insisted on the importance of attending classes?
Tsukushi
I'm so totally bored of school, the teacher's aren't even bothering to come into class now that the exams are over. The other students are all busy discussing the oncoming party, purposely excluding me, the poor girl out of all discussion. This students are so fake! Their attitudes change 180( when any of the F4 are near. They put on their pretty, sweet, innocent, naive facade and practically throw themselves at them. Though I can't understand why.
Soujirou is such a playboy I doubt he ever loves anyone with his heart. Akira likes older woman, preferably married. Rui... Domyoji, is such a stubborn, curly pig- head only anyone stupid will fall for. Yeah, fine, I admit that I am not the smartest person on earth, if I was I wouldn't have ended up in Eitoku, believed I was brave enough to stand up to the F4 and chose Domyoji over Rui. But no matter what, I am only being Makino Tsukushi, the weed which no matter how you step on it or spray it with herbicide will not die. That's who I am.
I closed my eyes for a moment, enjoying the weather, I felt almost peaceful.
'Screeech..'my eyes opened with the of car tires screeching to a halt. It sounded to near for comfort. Two cars were parked in front of me; a red Porsche and a black Ferrari. One coming dangerously close to knocking me down. My temper rose, 'this people could have killed me.'
I slammed my hands on the bonnet of the black Ferrari. "You bastards, how dare you! You could have killed me! Do you think just because you are rich, you can do anything you want? Come out you *#%!"
The car door slid up, a guy with black hair, wearing sunglasses, turned to face me. The other door slid up too, revealing a brunette with a little kid sitting on his lap. I gasped. I look at the other car. The red Porsche. Three guys stepped out. One obviously Japanese guy, one blond, and one with hair dyed dark blue with white streaks.
The little kid in the black Ferrari got out, smiling, she ran towards me, "Mama, mama!" she flunged herself at me. I was surprised for a minute but caught her in time before we both fell to the ground.
"Kagaya!" I breathed in the smell of her shampoo. How I missed her. It's been so long since I saw her. "You've gotten bigger. How I miss you."
"Don't I deserve a hug and a kiss too?"the blond asked. Long hair reaching his back, blue eyes that remind me of the sky, he looked the same.
"Raphael, come here, I can't move with this weight." I said, Kagaya arms clinging to my neck.
Raphael walked up to me, we embrace and he kissed my forehead just like he used to do. "You have gotten thinner, how is life? I missed you." He whispered.
"I missed you too."
"And you don't miss the rest of us?" the Japanese guy asked. Ryu. "How could I not miss you, Ryu, Nick." Ryu, black hair, tall, kind hearted Ryu. How I missed him.
Ryu walked towards me, ruffled my hair and said "Why did you cut your hair?"
"It was wasting shampoo." I couldn't very well tell them it was because the kidnappers needed proof that I was in their hands to threaten Domyoji. They will have a cat and ship me off.
The dyed hair boy surprised me from the back. With one arm he had me in a tight lock before murmuring to my ears, "Want to test my new skills? I have learnt new tricks. And YOU on the other hand had been stagnant. How long have you been without?"
"That I have to see." Nick too was still the same. Always dying his hair insane colors, dressed in clothes that make people think he is only a high school but in reality already 19. He is the nearest to my age, and we competed in almost anything under the sun. He was insanely jealous that I had always the only one who could beat him in his games.
He grinned, "Arrogant, aren't you."
"Hello, Tsukushi." Jay extended a hand towards me.
"Hi, Jay." Balancing Kagaya with one arm, I shook his hand. Of the gang, Jay was the one I know least about. Not surprising as this intellectual brunette was only introduced to the gang 8 years ago, unlike how I have known the rest since I was a baby. Whatever the case, he is family now, if for nothing else, I will love him for making Tatsuha happy.
Tatsuha. He had always been like a big brother to me. But like all big brother he can be over protective. "Tsu- chan, you still have not learn to keep your emotions in check. When will you mature to be a polite lady?"
"Well, you can only blame yourself for teaching me to express my emotions in this way. My swearing vocabulary was all from you." I grinned.
"Baka." He gave me a hug, kissed my forehead and ruffled my hair. I felt like I was a child again in his embrace.
