Playing Hard to Get

Chapter Two-

As Tsukushi walked towards the place she worked a few girls had been walking behind her since school got out. Tsukushi had noticed this, but she hadn't decided to make anything of it.

After a few more moments, she stood in front of the Dango shop. The girls behind her had stopped a few feet away from her. Whispering a bit, Tsukushi's temper began to rise a bit. She spun around and looked at the three females that had been following her. And there stood Asai, Yamano and Ayuhara.

"What do you three want? You've been followed me all this way, and for what, just to know where I work!" Tsukushi asked, trying to keep a cool temper.

The three girls looked at her and Asai began to laugh at Tsukushi's question. "I don't know what you're talking about. We were merely walking in the same direction as you. We were not following."

Tsukushi's eyebrow rose a bit. "Oh, really now? Do you even have the slightest clue as to where you are?"

Yamano and Ayuhara looked around a bit. They had not the slightest clue where they were. Though, Asai persisted she knew where. "Yes, I know where I am. But, why should I tell the likes of you?"

Tsukushi smirked and crossed her arms. "Well then, if you don't mind I will leave you three to find your way home." With that, she walked into the cake shop and waved to her friend Yuki.

Asai bit down on her lower lip a bit as she turned to her two friends, who had done similar things. Yamano was biting on her handkerchief and Ayuhara had taken out her cell phone, ready to call her limo driver.

"We can't let that weed get the best of us!" Asai shouted to the two other girls.

"Yes, your right! But, we don't know where we are." Ayuhara said cell phone in hand still.

"Oh, I know!" Yamano said, looking around frantically. "Let's walk this way!" She said pointing in the direction of a few shopping districts. Once they all agreed they walked off.

Tsukushi had watched them the whole time as they walked off towards the shopping districts. Though, since they weren't her concern anymore she turned to her best friend; Yuki. "What's up, Yuki? You look happy. Did something happen at school, today?"

Yuki had a small gentle smile on her lips as she organized a few of the cakes and had placed them in small boxes with pink and gold ribbon. Yuki hadn't heard Tsukushi though.

"Yuki?" She asked again, as she placed her hand on Yuki's right shoulder. Yuki jumped up a bit, startled. Though, Yuki's attention was now focused on Tsukushi.

"Hi, Tsukushi. How are you?" Yuki asked, still in a bit of a daze.

"Hello, to you to. I was trying to get your attention, but you seem to be daydreaming." Tsukushi said with a small smile. "Did something good happen to you at school today?"

Yuki started to blush a bit and nodded. Tsukushi hugged her friend, wanting to know what it was. After a few moments of hugging her dear friend she let go, so that Yuki could tell her.

About 30 minutes later the door to the shop had opened and entered Asai, Yamano, and Ayuhara. They looked exhausted and their hair was a bit messy. Tsukushi glanced over and begun to say 'Welcome, How may, I help you?' though once she had saw whom it was she stopped at 'how may, I'.

Tsukushi looked at the three of them. "Still lost, eh?"

Asai straightened and dusted herself off, also fixing her hair, picking whatever leaves had been in there. Asai looked around the shop a bit, then, turned her head to Tsukushi. "Just as I thought, a pauper like you would pick something this lame to work at."

Tsukushi glared at her a bit, though now she held a pair of scissors, she had been stripping the ribbon for a cake box. Yuki looked at her friend, and then, towards the three girls who stood in the center of the shop. "Aren't those the three girls from the trip?" She asked in a whisper, towards Tsukushi. Tsukushi only nodded.

A few moments later after Asai had began ranting on about the store and Tsukushi. The bell above the door to the school rang, as the door opened. Yuki raised her hand instinctively and greeted the new customers. The three girls in the middle turned around as a male voice spoke.

"What are you three doing here? Don't you girls have something else better to do?" Questioned the male voice from behind the girls. When the girls looked behind them and then in a nearby mirror which had been hanging on a wall, then looked back at the boy and the people who were behind him. They had eventually stalked off after staring for a few moments longer.

Tsukushi watched them panic for a minute or two and soon they had left. Tsukushi sighed with relief that they had left, though wondered who scared them off.

"Hey, Tsukushi, Tsukasa has something to tell you." Soujiro said, walking up to the counter and looks at the variety of sweets through the counter glass.

She dreaded this situation that had a came to be. Tsukushi threw the scissors at an unsuspecting Soujiro, though Akira saw this and pulled him out of the way, and they watched as the scissors hit the frame for the door. Yuki had noticed and tried to stop her, though did not succeed.

"Holy hell..." Soujiro starts, though when he looks back at Tsukushi who by now looked furious with him. Akira looked at her as well, and gulped. Oh crap, maybe this was a bad time… He thought to himself.

Tsukasa had been standing off to the said looking at her the whole time, so he had also noticed the scissors flying at Soujiro's head. When Tsukushi looked towards him he had turned away almost instantly. I should get this over with... Or else she'll hate me forever…

"I don't want to speak to him. In fact, get out! Every time someone walks past the shop, they are too afraid to walk in here because of you!" She shouts, her temper getting the best of her once more, as she finished the sentence she pointed to Tsukasa, who evidently looked back towards her, ready to apologize.
