A/N: Enjoy! ^_^ Important A/N before the chap! Read it and take in the
consideration!!! ^_^
Dark Phoenix- Yah! I'm soooo sorry. The day I updated this fic, was the day I got the brainstorm. It's not black mail. I don't think it is. After all, there is no thing about it that's black. Wait a minute, is it the Destiny and Fate you're talking about or um. The other one? Geez, I even forget my own fics!!! Um. The utterly confused? Hmmm.. It's not black mail. Nope. I don't think it is. ^_^
Denise- Okie. ^_^
Pratz- Ahhh. My fave reviewer. ^_^ hey, I'm flattering you so be flattered. ^_^ be very flattered! Kidding! Anyway, um. I was thinking about it, and I thank you! Yes, I will be showing his past. It's not that bad. Just his sis dying. I won't detail it so that it won't be angsty. After all, this wasn't meant for that! ^_^
Virginia Choir- thank you! I will! ^_^ I'm so happy!!!
Ange- ^_^ don't be too hasty. And I told you, I'm only going to update when I get ten reviews.
Ranka- Okay! I will! ^_^ Thank you very much for reviewing all my chaps! I love all your comments!
Kurei- Thanks! I will! ^_^
JamJam-chan- Please read my A/N! Misaki Asuka- There is a reason behind everything. That is all I can tell. ^_^ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- A/N: *Mumbles* when I went shopping with my fellow authors last June 4, 2003, they lectured me in not to be demanding in getting reviews. I was first reluctant to let my ten reviews rule go coz' I really like the power, and the reviews are great. ^_^ I must say, they beef me up, flatter me, give me ideas and makes my fic evolve. My, my, it is rather addictive coz I get at least ten reviews from ff.net and others; from the other sites I put my fics... I even get hooked up in my fave authors, waiting them to update. But now when I think about it, I could not force a person to review my fic when he doesn't want to or reluctant to review my fic, for I also said, I do not like flames. In conclusion, the ten reviews rule is going down, after this chap. I will be updating it as soon as I finish a chap. But if I finish it in the same week, I will update it numerally and the next will come in the later week. But the no flames rule will not go down. I repeat, flames are still not appreciated. I do appreciate constructive criticism and is in a hunt for a Beta Reader. Here me, here me. I am in Hunt for a beta reader. I need someone with experience, and will not only like, flatter me or somethin, but gives me his or hers ideas for my later chaps. I will really appreciate the help. If you are interested, email me. My add is in my bio. ^_^ Thank you very much and enjoy.
CHAPTER 4: GO TO JIGOKU!
"You love the way, I look at you. While taking pleasure in the awful things you put me through." Fuuko sang with the blaring radio. This was really a stressful day for her. After that fight with Mikagami, she decided to call Karen in the cell phone.
- - - - - - - FLASHBACK
"Hey, Karen, I really need to talk to you." Fuuko said urgently to the person on the other line of her cell phone.
"Um, this isn't really a good time for me, Fuuko-chan..." Karen said slowly.
"Um, did I say, now?" Fuuko said impatiently.
"Fuuko, as much as I like to chat, this is not really a good time." Karen said impatient as well.
"Fine, what did I disturb now?" She sighed in defeat.
"My kissing with my boyfriend, that's all." Karen, said, in a sarcastic tone. Fuuko could see the older teen rolling her eyes.
"Oh, gomen ne. Just call me after your date, k? Bye." She said quickly, shutting off her cell and parking her car in the driveway of the main door, letting her driver put it in the parking lot and the butler to open the door. Their young fro line came to her, a serious look on her face.
"What now, Anna?" She said in an exhausted tone.
"Miss Yanagi called and asked if wanted to join her and your friends in an outing." She replied simply.
Fuuko nodded. "Thank you and can you please call her to tell her my answer is yes. Tell me the details later." She said, walking to the elevator and pressing the floor which belonged to her.
She past the living room of the floor and into her bedroom at last. She showered again and just lay there in her comfy bed. Just then, she remembered that Karen would forget her promise of calling Fuuko so Fuuko called her.
"Karen here." Her best friend said on the receiver. Fuuko smiled a bit and then made her self a bit more comfortable.
"This is Fuuko." She said.
"Oh, hi Fuuko, I was just going to call you." Said the unexplainable voice.
Fuuko snorted. "Yeah right. If I know you weren't even planning to call me no more."
"So not true." She said in a defensive tone. "Any way, why did you call me?"
"Just a tinge of problem." Fuuko said, unable to erase the bitterness in her voice.
"Raiha broke up with you, didn't he?" She asked in a serious manner.
Fuuko looked incredulously at the receiver. "How did you figure that out?"
"It's just a prediction." She said simply. "So spill. How'd he break with you?" Fuuko sighed. "Through chatting. Actually, I broke up with him. I knew it was coming and told me we're quits."
"Oooooooh! So you played that strong girlfriend that can handle the pain love could bring." Karen soothed. Fuuko could practically hear the emerging giggles from her friend's chest.
"Whatever. Anyway, after that, Tokiya decided that it was again the Let's- pest-Fuuko-day and we got into a fight and then I walked out on him leaving him with painful words but not like he didn't give me hurtful words too!" She complained.
"OOOOOHHH! So you want my advice?" She asked knowingly.
"Yep." Fuuko sighed.
"Well, have I told you that there's a play coming up?" She asked.
"No, Tokiya told me and asked me to join. I told him I'll join if he joins but because of the trouble..." She trailed off.
"Ooook. But let me tell you something. Think of it as a competition." Karen said thoughtfully.
"Huh?" Was Fuuko's only reply.
"Audition; so you could show him how good you are. How you could accomplish any task thrown at you with flying colors." She said in a matter-of-factly tone.
"You really think that would work?" Fuuko sounded doubtful.
"Have I ever been wrong in giving you advices? Think about it. Besides, you love acting. It's not as if you're afraid of him, right?" Karen asked.
"Of course not!" Fuuko sounded outraged.
"Well, that's settled then the audition starts on Monday. You'll need to sing one of the leading role's songs and one of the parts." Karen informed her.
"Consider it done." Fuuko said bravely.
"Bye then." Karen said.
"Bye. Thanks again." Fuuko said. Karen has clicked off so she did the same.
- - - - - - Meanwhile in Karen's house at present.
Karen looked triumphantly at Tokiya. "You should thank me." She pointed out.
"Thank you then." Tokiya said. But he knew there was a catch.
"You are expecting for a catch." Karen said.
Tokiya nodded. He crossed his arms over his chest and leaned on the wall. "What is it?"
"Ohhh, nothing yet. I can't think of anything I want from you because of the fact I have every thing girl could possibly ask for. But, don't worry, I'll think of something." She chirped and jumped around the room.
"This'll have to work." Tokiya said under his breath.
"What's that Tokiya?" Karen asked.
"Nothing." He said slowly. Karen shrugged.
"Whatever you say." She said. "You are staying here for dinner?" She asked. Tokiya nodded. "Yay!" She smiled.
-----------------
"Here's the script. Read it and pick the song and here's the tape of the songs." Karen said, dropping a pink laced see-through plastic bag containing the said things inside. Fuuko looked at it and then smiled gratefully at Karen.
"Thanks a lot. You don' know how much this means to me." She said in a thankful tone. Karen nodded and then shrugged.
"You don't know. I might know how it feels I have loved in the past." She pointed out to Fuuko. She then started walking to her locker where Tokiya was patiently (I think) waiting for her.
She turned around. "Oh, and Fuuko," She began. Fuuko raised both her eyebrows to show she was listening.
"There are more fishes in the sea. It's not the end of the world. Don't be afraid to love again." Fuuko was taken aback by her words but then smiled.
"Thanks, I'll keep that in mind, I promise." She promised. Karen nodded and walked away. Men were drooling everywhere as she passed them, but she paid no heed to them. Same ol' Karen.
Fuuko sighed and looked at the small bag Karen had given her. She stuffed it inside her locker while making a mental note to take it out after classes were dismissed. She got her things and was ready to leave when she came face to face with a guy with green stylish hair that came to the nape of his neck and had a silver cross dangling in his left ear. He smiled at Fuuko.
"Hontou?" she asked the Bishounen. The Bishounen smiled and said in a rather shy way:
"Umm, I'm new here and I was hoping you could pinpoint to me the class of Toyama-sensei?" He asked.
Fuuko smiled. "Sure, that's my next class so I'll walk you there." She said kindly. The guy's face seemed to brighten up.
"Really? Domo arigatou! By the way, I'm Koji Hirasaki." He said, extending his hand to Fuuko.
Fuuko shook it and replied, "Kirisawa Fuuko." She said. She looked at her designer watch and her eyes widen.
"What's wrong Kirisawa-chan?" Koji asked a confused expression on his beautiful face.
"We're going to be late, come on." She said, grabbing Koji's hand and walking briskly. She could feel that Koji almost tripped and said sorry.
"Oh and by the way, Hirasaki-san, you can call me Fuuko." She said, almost out of breath. Koji was hard to pull. Koji has now caught up and flashed her a winning smile.
"Okay. You can call me Koji then." He said kindly to Fuuko.
She smiled back. They had reached the classroom finally, earning a few glances from untaken guys who fancied her jealous glares directed to her companion. She smiled to him and guided him to two seats. When they had settled in, Tokiya made his grand entrance as always, but he did not smile. There was something wrong and everyone could feel it. He was giving off the sub-zero weather inside of him.
Fuuko just looked at Koji, an interested look on her face. She could feel Tokiya's eyes bore to her, but she ignored it. Damn that Mikagami. He can go to hell for all she cares.
Fuuko decided to ask Koji questions. "So Koji, where are you from?" She asked kindly, knowing that his kind didn't like flirts.
He smiled. "Kyoto."
She nodded and began asking more questions.
"So what made you go to this school?"
"Umm... The good opportunity, I guess. I heard that this is the best university in Japan so I just had to enter it."
"Oh. And... What are your hobbies?"
"I basically like practicing kendo. But I mostly like trying out for plays."
Fuuko's eyes widened and brightened at this new known fact. She flashed him her winning grin.
"That is so great! I love acting too! In fact, I'm going to try out for the school play! Wanna try out with me?" She offered without hesitation.
Koji's eyes widened in happiness. "Thanks, Fuuko. That would be great." He said gratefully. Fuuko shove it away and smiled.
"It's nothing really. Just glad to help a new student. I am the only daughter of one of the few people clans that made this school." She said proudly.
Koji's eyes widened again. "Really? Wow, Fuuko! You must be really rich."
Fuuko shook her head modestly and gave him the 'are-you-serious?' stare. They continued to talk, unaware of the pair of eyes watching them.
'Go to hell, Tokiya.' She thought to herself. 'For all I care.'
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Tokiya Mikagami's eyes flashed dangerously as he gazed at Fuuko and Koji chatting care freely with each other. That Koji was too close to Fuuko for comfort. A bit more and their lips would touch.
He clenched his fists. What is he saying? They were 12 inches apart! He tried to calm down. Besides, what is the use of getting all heated up and jealousy for a girl like Fuuko.
Fuuko who was:
Pretty.
Nope, everyone knows that is an understatement. Said an inner voice.
Inconsiderate.
Hah! Don't fool yourself.
Ungrateful.
What would she be grateful for , anyway?
Immodest.
Yeah right, keep telling yourself that.
Sexy.
Now you're talkin.
Smart.
Well, that is acceptable; but the word 'intelligent' would fit quiter nicer than smart.
Funny.
Yep.
Helpful.
Uh-huh.
Tokiya shook of his thoughts. No, he wasn't allowed to fall in love. It wasn't possible.
Falling in love is a loss. It will only give you immense heartache and pain. You will never be purely happy. You will always be hurt. No matter how hard you might try, anguish will always engulf you. It is your destiny.
He told himself. This was his motto. The virtue he lives on. He will not be hurt if he stayed away. He will not be engulfed by anguish if he doesn't love.
Are you really that afraid, Tokiya? That you do not try to feel happiness. Tell me, have you really been REALLY happy even once in your life? His inner voice haunted him to no end.
He closed his eyes. 'Maybe I am.' He thought.
