TheMusic We Make

I do not own Hana Yori Dango or any of it's characters, Duh. Though I wish Jun was mine.

My inspiration is lacking. When I first thought about writing this fanfiction, I had gone to the bookstore that day and saw a novel that inspired this. (Beautiful City of the Dead by Leander Watts) But all it inspired was me to write something about music. But back to the main point: I may be slow to update.

Thank you for the reviews, by the way. They help a lot.

Also, I have been in Mexico for the past.. week or so. And I bought the book, and finished it. It was pretty cool. My cousin hated it.

Damn, I miss Mexico.

I started this chapter right after I finished the first one, but I just completed it. So the first part might be a little better.. I dunno. There's a lot of dialogue in this chapter..

'Shit. I just hit a famous person.'

---

Five faces stared down at the lead singer in shock. The room went quiet, despite the loud music that was playing through the speakers. But oddly enough, someone broke through the silence, and it was probably the weirdest moment Tsukushi had ever gone through.

'Ha ha ha ha ha!' Everyone turned to look at Hanazawa Rui, who was sitting there slapping his thigh in mirth. Pretty soon the rest of them started laughing as well, except for Tsukushi, who's hand was still in the shape of a fist.

'No one, ha ha, has had the guts to hit—ha ha—Tsukasa since Tsubaki-san, ne, Akira? Ha ha' Soujiro said through stifled laughter. Akira nodded his head while clutching his stomach. All the laughing was just plain confusing to Tsukushi. Having no idea what to do, she mumbled an embarrassed apology then grabbed her bag, ready to leave but someone grabbed her arm, disabling her from walking any further. Tsukushi turned around, ready to punch the daylights of whoever decided to grab her arm, but stopped as soon as her gaze met the one of Hanazawa Rui's. She felt the back of her neck warm up as well, when she realized that he was smiling at her.

'C'mon, let's all get a bite to eat.' He suggested.

'Well, uhh, um.. I'm not so sure if—'

'It'll be okay. You can bring your friend along also. After all, we've never met anyone with as much courage as you have since Tsubaki-san.' Akira added.

'C'mon, Kushi-chan. It's not like we'll be raped or anything!' Sakurako said rolling her eyes at Tsukushi's paranoia. Tsukushi sighed dejectedly and nodded. There was nothing to get apprehensive about, anyway.

'Plus, if anything goes bad, it would be bad publicity...'

---

The group had settled down in a small late night diner and started to chat amongst themselves. They were all enjoying themselves, except for Tsukushi and Tsukasa, who were both in the middle of a glaring competition.

'Tsukushi-chan? Is that you?' Tsukushi reluctantly glanced over at the person who said her name, and her face softened into a smile upon seeing who it was.

'Yuuki-chan!' Tsukushi exclaimed and looked around the table nervously then back at Yuuki. 'Oh, um. Come! Join us!'

'Oh, no. I wouldn't like to be a burden—'

'A pretty face like yours could never become a burden.' Soujiro said, luring the poor girl in with his trademark smile. Yuuki's eyes almost popped out of their sockets when she recognized the four men at the table.

'OH MY! It's the F4!' She shrieked, immediately sitting down next to Tsukushi, earning a small grunt from Tsukasa who didn't like strangers that much. Tsukushi raised an eyebrow.

'F4?' Tsukushi asked, an eyebrow raised. So sue her for never hearing the name before. 'What's an F4?' The whole table grew silent, but Rui started laughing, which shocked everyone since he hadn't spoken that much while they were there.

'Hahaha. You're so silly, Makino. We're the F4. That's the name of our band. Stands for Flower Four.' He said grinning while pointing to himself with his thumb.

'Flower?' Earlier when everyone was laughing had been dubbed the weirdest moment, but forget that, because this has been the weirdest day for Tsukushi.

Sakurako and Yuuki sweat dropped at their friend's naivety while Rui stifled some more giggles(1).

---

The three girls decided to go over to Tsukushi's apartment to have some girly-bonding time. They entered the door to the apartment, already giggling about something Sakurako had said. When they calmed down a bit, they settled on the pillow covered floor and started to talk about something else. Mainly the F4 guys.

'It's a pity that this is the last day of their tour. I won't be able to see them anymore!' Sakurako sighed emphatically, Yuuki nodding, agreeing with the red-head. And to Tsukushi's dismay, a voice in the back of her head agreed.

'No more of that marbled-eyed man...'

Tsukushi had probably been spaced out for a while, since at the moment Sakurako was screaming her name at the top of her lungs. Man, she was ardent.

'TSUUUUUUUKOOOSHEEEE!'

The brunette had finally snapped out of her daze and faced Sakurako, slightly embarrassed for dozing off like she had.

'Maybe I should cut back on the romance novels.'

'Yes, Sakurako?'

The red-head tapped her chin and grinned innocently.

'About time. Still thinking about Rui-kun?'

'N-no!'

The other two girls giggled at Tsukushi's quick answer.

'Whatever. I was gonna ask where the Vod—'

'No Vodka for you. The last time I let you drink some, I was kept up all night hearing you make weird noises from the bathroom!'

'Awww, c'mon.'

'Barfing isn't a pleasant noise!'

Yuuki was just sitting there laughing at the girls bicker, but they were all interrupted when the doorbell rang. They all looked at each other, the same question going through their heads.

'Maybe it's the landlord?' Yuuki suggested.

'Yeah, Sakurako is pretty loud...'

'Shut up! Anyways... aren't you going to get it, Kushi-chan?'

She nodded and slowly stood up, heading towards the door. Grabbing the brass knob, it opened with a click and she gaped at who was standing in the doorway.

'What a beautiful person!'

The woman was tall and had shiny dark hair going down to her shoulders. And by her clothing, it appeared that she was very rich. She wore a smile on her face and held out her hand.

'Konbanwa. My name is Doumyouji Tsubaki. And you are Miss Makino Tsukushi, am I correct?'

Tsukushi nodded dumbly at the woman and immediately invited her in, not really paying much attention to what Tsubaki's last name was. Yuuki and Sakurako looked up to greet the woman and their mouths dropped open a bit.

'Sugoi!' Yuuki exclaimed, in awe of Tsubaki's beauty. Sakurako just sat and pointed.

'You're Doumyouji Tsukasa's sister!'

Tsukushi's eyes widened and glanced at Tsubaki then back at her two friends who were still in shock. Tsubaki nodded and smiled.

'So, Tsubaki-san, what brings who here?'

'Well, I came from Los Angeles to visit my brother, just to check up on him.' She began, 'turns out that he was a bit weirder than usual, and Soujiro and Akira were joking about some girl that had hit him. I was surprised since I was the only one that ever had the guts to put Tsukasa in his place. And after hearing about you, I decided that I would like to meet you.'

Tsukushi's mouth formed into an 'o' shape.

'But, then, how did you get my address?'

'Oh, that was easy, I just needed to ask Nishida.'

'How did he know my address.'

Tsubaki let out a hearty laughed, somewhat amused by all the questions whereas someone else would get irked easily.

'He looked it up of course.'

'Looked it up whe—'

'Okay, stop with the questions.'

'Yes, ma'am.'

---

'You like her.' Soujiro said in a singsong voice.

'Do not.' Tsukasa countered.

'Do too.' Akira added.

'That's impossible.'

'Anything is possible.' Rui had suddenly decided to wake up and join the conversation, adding extra pressure to Doumyouji.

'Even flying?'

Tsukasa waited for the answer but then realized that Rui had decided to go back to sleep.

(1) a manly giggle..

My God, this was.. Ew. I did not like the way this chapter ended up. It's kinda like when you give birth, you expect a beautiful child that comes out ugly.

Kidding.

I might go back and edit this chapter. But I really want to get it out now. Are n Are, people.
