waHmm...hey again!(I always say that..)...Thanks for decided to read this crazy fic! After all the serious stuff in BTS(Behind the Smile), I've decided to put a funny chapter in 1000 Words, which is, the chappie before this. I was laughing and laughing as I discussed this with my fren...it all started when we talked about me going to tuition, so she told me to cycle there. She said hers had...a hornet's nest on it, and she n her cousie were fiddling with it, looking at the hornet's eggs ooze out..then, she heard something buzzing behind her. it was a hornet, i think, and then...she n her cousie ran like mad out to the streets(she left the door open)..and u know where she ended up? the drain...and after a while, the hornet decided to buzz away...hehehe....ROFL...so now, i told her, what if tezuka and his sis were chased by bees last time? nyehehehe...it would be funny if the whole seigaku tennis club ran for their lifes, away from.......a hive of bees. heheh ;) so, back to the serious stuff...k?

DISCLAIMER : The song I add in this whole story is not mine, k?

.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

It had been a week since Yuko moved into the Tezuka residence. She was a rather quiet girl, and was very good at cooking. After dinner, she would play piano for everyone in the family(except Tezuka, he goes to the pub everyday) to listen to. Everyone had pretty much gotten used to her presence, and she actually often lit up everyone in the Tezuka family(except for Kunimitsu, he's hardly at home).

Nevertheless, Miyuki was curious to find out about Yuko's ties with the Tezuka family. So, one day, Miyuki decided to ask Yuko face to face. It was after a long day of swimming practice, and Miyuki was heading home. Since Yuko didn't join any club yet, she went straight home after school.

When Miyuki reached home, she saw Yuko in the garden, not noticing the presence of Miyuki.

"Suteki da ne...futari te wo tori...aru ke ta nara...iki tai yo, kimi no machi...iie, ude no naka....sono mune, kanada azuke, yori ni magire, yumemiru....[1]"she sang while gazing at the tulips at the garden.

"Hey, Yuko. That was a nice song! What's it called?"

"Suteki da ne,"Yuko replied, blushing.

"Hmm, since you like singing, why don't you go for the choir group?"

"Umm...no...I'm not really good at this choir sorta thing.."

"But you do have a good voice! You shouldn't waste it just like that...ah! Why don't you get yourself discovered?"

"Er...when I had a presentation one day, I was spotted by this guy, who happened to be the representative of this recording company, so he asked whether I was interested in having a concert, so I'm gonna have a concert at Tokyo Dome next week."

"Oh, cool! Does anyone else know about this?"

"No...but just get Kunimitsu to come along to see the concert."

"Hai hai~!"

After a while, it suddenly hit Miyuki to ask Yuko another question.

"Yo, Yuko, how did the Kiritani family get involved with the Tezuka's?"

"Well, I'm not really sure myself, but this is what I heard from my parents. The Kiritani family was in debt with the Tezuka family, and had no money to pay the debt. Therefore, they decided to pay, with their only daughter. To sacrifice her to someone else."

"Oh, gosh. I'm so sorry to hear that!"

"No, it's no biggie..."

"Hey....I've sort of....heard of you before."

"I have to, Miyuki-san. Aren't you Yuushi-kun's ex-girlfriend?"

It hit Miyuki hard. She was stun for a few seconds, and soon got back to reality zone.

"How....how'd you know that?"

"Oh, I used to be in Hyotei Gakuen!"

"No wonder your name sounded familiar! Kiritani Yuko of Class 1, right? I've heard alot about you from Keigo!"

"Oh, Keigo-kun.."Yuko said bitterly.

"Hm? Is anything wrong, Yuko?"

"Oh, nothing, nothing!"continued Yuko, now smiling like Syusuke. Nevertheless, Miyuki felt something strange about Yuko's behaviour.

.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

Miyuki's POV

Oh, gosh. It was so strange today. No one was home, except me and Yuko. Suddenly, I heard someone crying. It was Yuko. Her eyes were all red, and she was curled up like a ball. The calm and quiet girl, Yuko, crying? I rushed to her, and tried to calm her down.

"Hey, Yuko, why are you crying?"

"Ohhh...nothing, nothing!"

"There is something, Yuko. If you're unhappy, don't feel shy to voice it out."

"Miyuki...I guess you won't understand, tho. Thanks for being thoughtful."

"Really, don't feel shy, Yuko."

"I'll tell you, Miyuki, the story of Keigo and I."

.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

Hey hey...couldn't help but add Keigo in it...^-^! Well, I'll give you some hint about the next chappie. It's a flashback chappie, of course. The connection which also bound Yuko and Keigo is how Keigo actually got her to sing at his pub. Well, it actually begins from how they meet, actually. I just hope to be able to add a lil humour, but I'll try...^-^...well...please don't be shy to voice out what ya think about this chappie as a review or e-mail at tsubamegaeshi_hana@hotmail.com.

[1] – Oh yea, and this song is Suteki da Ne, from the game FF X. I seem to like game songs, and this song is very nice. I'm too lazy to type the translation here, just look it up at FF X Suteki da Ne. It's 1.19 AM here, and i need to catch some sleep. Tuition tomorrow.
