CHAPTER FOUR: Circumstances
-
"Hey Yuki, what's up?" Tsukushi frowned as she asked her friend, she was still in her dance practice and their instructor won't let them go since there's a coming dance play at their school.
"Tsukushi, do you think it's normal to like a guy you actually hate, well not hate hate but just irritated hate." Yuki said with confusion.
"And who's this guy we're talking about anyway?" she asked as she slumped beside her friend.
"Soujirou."
"You like him?"
"No…….Yes! Argh," Yuki grabbed her hair in frustration, "That's why I'm asking for your opinion."
"I think you're confuse, it's between Love and Hate at the moment." Tsukushi suggested, she frowned at her own sentence.
"Geez, that's really helpful."
"If you doubt my reason then why don't you go to Sakurako, she had the similar problem the other night and now it looks like she and Akira are okay."
Yuki shrugged, "I'll ask her if I see her, later."
"Later."
ooooooooooooooooooooo
Tsukushi walked toward her three friends sitting at the campus ground, it was surprising to see that Akira was not with Sakurako, she frowned as she noticed the guy sitting with them.
"Hi, girls!"
"Hey Kushi," Shigeru greeted.
'Who's this guy?' she was surprised to see Bo. "Hey Bo, how are you doing?"
"Fine."
Sakurako rolled her eyes, "You don't have to lie you know."
"So, what happened, did they found out about the criminal?" Shigeru asked with hesitation.
Tsukushi sat next to Yuki.
"Thankfully, the police believed that I didn't have anything to do with that…"
"Of course you didn't!" Shigeru said indignantly.
Bo smiled, "Thanks, but you know, it's their job and everyone's a suspect."
"Who could've done that?" Sakurako wondered.
"No clue yet, and Mark and David remains in the jail." Bo informed, "But I doubt they have anything to do with that, the only problem was that they're the last person seen with Trina and they fucked her just like what you heard at the party, but I doubt it's them, with those scratches on the body." He shook his head.
"What scratches?" Tsukushi frowned.
"They have these scratches on their limbs, it's either on the sides or at the back, maybe that was made at the height of passion."
The girls shivered.
"How did you found about it anyway?" Sakurako asked.
"When the maids were about to clean the whole place, they screamed when they saw the bodies and I hurried to them, I was preparing for school then and besides the maids, I was the first one who saw Trina's body. Then outside the gate, I saw Rea's car, of course it's impossible for her to leave the party without her car, and the compartment was slightly open, when I opened it, she was there."
"Do you think it's one of your guests?" Shigeru concluded.
Bo shrugged, "I don't know, for all you know someone just trespassed over the wall…"
Tsukushi rubbed her arms, "How terrible."
"Yeah, I won't be surprise if authority would put some curfew," Shigeru snorted.
"Better be safe." Yuki said in silenced.
"Anyway," Bo started to get up, his usual cheerful self was nowhere to be found at his grave look, "I got to go, my sister and mom doesn't like to be alone at home and dad's coming home late. Just be careful, all of you."
They hugged Bo before he left.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"Girls, I think it would be cooler if you all stay at the mansion since my parents are not there." Tsukushi suggested as they got inside the car.
"Tsukushi's scared," Yuki said in a sing-songy voice.
"I'm not!" she said indignantly.
"Whatever. But you're scared anyway."
"Who wouldn't be," Tsukushi bantered, "But not when I'm lock inside my own house."
"I think that's a good idea, and not to mention we could practice more often." Shigeru squealed.
"Yeah, it'll be fun!" Sakurako clapped her hands.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"Tsukasa, what are you doing?" Akira asked as he noticed Tsukasa looking at the telescope outside the terrace.
"Making sure if the full moon's not in the sky?" Soujirou joked.
"No. I was looking at her." Tsukasa answered.
"Tsukushi?"
He nodded without looking to his brothers.
"Just make her your partner, mate with her when the full moon once again rise in the sky so you'll find out if she's the one for you." Akira suggested.
Tsukasa looked at Akira, "Are you planning the same thing for Sakurako?"
"I might, but if I do, I'll make sure to forewarn her first."
"I can't help but to be afraid for Tsukushi, what if I hurt her in the end, just like those girls."
"If she's the one, then…" Akira shrugged, "I don't really know what the difference is if she's the one or not, it's not like we've done it before."
"When she lives of course," Soujirou shrugged.
"Father said that our other form would know it too and we'll just have to depend on our instinct," Rui joined their conversation.
Tsukasa looked at his brothers in frustration, "Our instincts! That's bullshit! We're at our very dangerous state when there's a full moon and we can't even control ourselves even if we have ideas what we're doing, we're unstoppable, and to think I'll ravish Tsukushi to death, no way!"
Akira smiled wryly, "Maybe you're thinking it now, but when your other side awakens, I don't think you'll still have the same reasoning."
"What's wrong with you all?" Tsukasa eyed them, "You make it sound that you're accepting what we do every full moon, and it was like killing women is as natural as sneezing!"
"It's not like we can do anything about it, if we restraint ourselves, we'll just be more violent," Soujirou reasoned, "And we didn't kill them as drastically as it seemed, it's just that our 'pleasures' don't match theirs."
"It's not like it's their fault," Tsukasa voiced out.
"What's wrong with you Tsukasa?" Akira frowned, "You're never like that, you don't agonize over this back at London, you're the one who always wanted to search for your 'prey', and you're the violent one."
Tsukasa looked down to his hands. "Do you think I could do 'that' with my hands tied?" he frowned.
The three guys laughed.
"This is not a funny matter!"
"You'll just put yourself to more restraint and torture and end up being more violent and a possibility to hurt her." Akira pointed out.
"Then how can I not hurt her?"
"Then don't touch her, dumbass." Rui muttered, getting tired of their conversation.
"Don't listen to that weird guy, he's just confused with his feelings," Soujirou smirked, "You won't hurt her as long as she won't struggle and to do that, you must warn her so she'll know what to expect…"
"How did you know that?" Tsukasa asked suspiciously.
Soujirou shrugged, "Just notice that all the girls we 'tasted' before were always struggling, fighting and very tense and our instincts first response is to retaliate."
"Soujirou got a point," Akira nodded, "Add the fact that I once noticed mother being submissive to father when it's full moon."
Tsukasa made a face, "You peek on them!"
"No!" Akira said indignantly, "I just happened to passed by but I didn't stay for long."
"I'll leave." Rui stated before he left.
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Rui ended up at the bar inside the one of many Doumyouji's chain of hotels.
As he drank his wine, he couldn't help but to think what Tsukasa's agonizing about, even if he was trying to ignore it, he also wondered how on earth they would know the right mate for them and the way to not hurt them or kill them in the end. That was a question which there was no answer. Unless they succeeded on it.
He didn't even notice when a lady sat beside him. "Deep in your thoughts, huh."
Rui went out of his reverie, as he looked at his side, he saw the lady he met at Grand Pierre. "Shizuka." He whispered.
Shizuka smiled sweetly, "I'm glad you still remember me."
"How could I not." He smirked, he wave a hand at the bar tender and order vodka for her.
"Thanks," Shizuka said before she sipped her vodka.
"So," Rui started, "What brings you at this place, this is way too far from Grand Pierre."
Shizuka shrugged, "I love bar hopping. I always go from one bar to another."
Rui raised his brow. "Don't tell me you went through all of the bars here in Tokyo."
"I'll tell you a secret," Shizuka said as she looked at Rui from her glass.
He sucked his breath, this lady is really beautiful.
Shizuka smirked, she could guess what was Rui's thinking. "I've been most on the places here in Japan. I want to see them all before I leave."
"What do you mean?" Rui started to get worried. They just met a night ago and then she's leaving!
"I love to travel. I love to go to different places and different cultures," she smiled sweetly, "My friends always says that I have a wandering soul."
Rui sighed with regret.
"What's with that sigh?"
"When I thought I already found the girl for me, and now she's suddenly leaving." He said with a huff as he drank the rest of his wine.
Shizuka chuckled, "I like you, Rui," still chuckling, a single tear trickle down her eyes, "I really like you! You're so honest and pure."
'Honest yes, but pure? Not really!' Rui thought as he mocked himself.
"Anyway, I don't have to leave yet. I still have two weeks." She shrugged, "Maybe, we could be together for two weeks."
Rui looked at her with disbelief, "And then what?"
"And then we'll separate our way. And then when we meet again, if ever, we'll always remember this day with fondness…or craziness…" she laughed again.
"You speak like a matured woman, even acting like one," Rui pointed out, "You mean you just want us to have a casual sex and then you'll leave."
Shizuka nodded with smile, "I know it sounds awful but I don't know when I'll be back or if I'll ever be back. I don't even know if we'll meet again. I'm attracted to you the first time I met you, and I want to grab this opportunity to be with you, because I may never have the chance again."
"I understand," Rui smiled before he leaned toward Shizuka and kissed her sweetly and passionately. "Listen, I have my private suite in this hotel, if you want."
Shizuka just nodded as she kissed him again.
They went to the elevator in a quick pace and once it closed they started stripping one another's clothes while kissing.
When they reached Rui's suite, they were both half naked. Rui was not bothered for someone else seeing them since the floor where they were now was the private suites only being used by the family members.
After Rui opened the door, they ended up almost banging from wall to wall and sometimes rolling on the carpeted floor. They were already fully naked when they reached the bed and continued their passionate moment.
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"That was awesome!" Shizuka marveled after the few times they made love that night. She kissed Rui passionately.
Rui smiled as he caressed Shizuka's plush body.
"You're so great, Rui, where did you learn? I'm sorry to ask but the first time I looked at you, you don't seem like the guy who frequents clubs like you know and you look so very gentlemanly." She said while her hands roaming on his body.
"From experience," Rui said silently. "May I say that looks could be very deceiving." He said wryly.
"So, how many have you had before?" she asked curiously.
"Pretty much."
"And I assume they're all from London."
He nodded with a sigh, remembering those girls.
"I bet they also like it?"
"Maybe." He shrugged.
"How come one of them was not with you? You know, as your girlfriend."
"The relationship didn't last that long." He said with sarcasm.
Shizuka nodded then pouted as she looked up, "So, care for another round?"
Without another word, Rui went on top of her. Shizuka shrieked with delight.
Oooooooooooooooooooooo
The next morning…
-
"Where have you been?" Soujirou asked, they were at the breakfast table, "I believed you just arrive."
"You're not my mother." Rui said as he slumped on the chair.
"That's a relief." Soujirou rolled his eyes.
"Anyway, just answer Soujirou's question, will you?" Akira said as he popped some bacon to his mouth.
"My private suite at the hotel."
"You fucked some girl, ne?" Akira smiled wolfishly.
Rui glared at him, "Not just some girl. It's Shizuka, the girl from Grand Pierre."
"Oh, that hot babe." Akira whistled.
Rui nodded.
"What about that girl from The Hana that you also like?" Tsukasa asked in confusion.
"My time with Shizuka won't last."
"You decided suddenly that she won't make it once the full moon appears once again."
"She's leaving after two weeks," then Rui related to his brothers his circumstances with Shizuka.
Ooooooooooooooooooooooo
That morning, Yuki decided to jog around the subdivision. The three girls decided to stay with Tsukushi and they brought their stuff the other night.
She was jogging peacefully when once she turned a corner, she met up with Soujirou and he decided to jog with her.
"What a coincidence." Soujirou said as he kept his pace with Yuki, "That's why you're in good shape eh."
"I don't need anyone disturbing me while I'm jogging." She jogged faster, but Soujirou just keeps up with her, she sighed and returned her pace to normal. "What do you want!"
Soujirou shrugged, "Just want to jog with you."
"Then shut up."
"You're such a snob."
"Think what you like!"
"What are you doing here anyway?" Soujirou suddenly asked. "You're not from around here right?"
"Why do you care?"
"Just asking?"
"Being nosy you mean!"
He shrugged.
Yuki sighed again, "Tsukushi wants us to stay with her since her parents are in another country."
"Oh."
"Yeah, oh." She said sarcastically, how glad she was when she was near the mansion's gate already. "Bye."
"Later then."
ooooooooooooooooooooooo
The girls were practicing outside the mansion complete with their instrument, the wires were scattered everywhere when two guys entered the gate accompanied with one of the maids.
"Afternoon ladies," Akira greeted, then he gave Sakurako a greeting kiss. The three girls raised their brow.
Sakurako blushed under their scrutiny. "What?" she asked with annoyance.
"Oh nothing," Shigeru said sarcastically, while the two others giggled.
"Afternoon too," Yuki nodded to the two guys, "Hey Rui."
Rui just nodded to the girls.
"So what brings you here?" Tsukushi asked.
Sakurako looked at her with wide eyes full of meaning.
"I mean, it's a surprise to see you here," Tsukushi smiled.
"Sakurako invited us to watch your practice." Akira answered.
"Well, feel at home." Tsukushi said.
"Well, why don't you guys sit back and relax," Shigeru said as she gestured them towards the two seat.
"So where's your two other brothers?" Sakurako asked.
"They're asleep." Akira said, while Rui was looking at Shigeru, he was still confused with his feelings toward the two ladies.
Shigeru at that moment were setting herself in front of the drums.
"Okay girls, let's start this," Shigeru announced as she tapped the two drum sticks together.
The four girls quitted joking around and turned serious as Shigeru started to count, "And one, two, three…" she started to beat at the drum.
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Guys thanks for reading and I'll try my best for the chapters to come and to TOINKS: I appreciate your review and some pointers I'll try my best. To RIN LOVES SESS: Sorry but my whole plot was all planned out, maybe I could write a Tsukushi and Rui fic one of these days.
