A/N: Ah, I know I said I was going to start this chapter like a month ago or something, it seems I got distracted by role-playing and the game Maplestory Online. In any case, I am starting it now. I do apologize, so sorry. :( Don't hate me.- 7/14/06
Recap: Tsukushi stiffened as his hands went to her shoulders and he leaned closer to her, thoughts raced through her mind once more, she was very confused now. Though, everything went blank when it happened.
Playing Hard To Get
Chapter Five
Uhn.. Where am I? Tsukushi asked herself apon opening her eyes, her eyes were slightly blurry. Tsukushi sat up slowly rubbing her eyes, once she could see clearly she looked down and noticed that there were sheets overing her and she was on something rather comfortable, when she removed the sheets she noticed it was a bed. Her eyes wandered from the bed to the rest of the area, she was in a room, a very nice decorated room. Tsukushi thought it over a bit and recalled that she had been there once before. That's when it completely hit her, literally.
Tsubasa had thrown a towel at Tsukushi. "Come on, get up." She said in a delicate voice as she stood in front of the girl who had just fallen back onto the soft bed.
"Uhn.. What happened?" Was all Tsukushi could muster out for the moment.
"Tsukasa brought you here, he said you fainted." Tsubasa said, still her delicate voice. "Now get up."
Tsukushi forced herself up from the bed she found extremely comfortable. Once she stood she realized that she was still in her clothes from yesterday but could vaguely remember anything from the night before. "What time is it?"
"10:30 am." Tsubasa said walking over to Tsukushi and handing her the towel she had thrown at her. "You should take a shower." Tsubasa ushered Tsukushi towards the shower area. "I'll be back in an hour."
Tsukushi went willingly, she was still too tired to resist for the moment. Once Tsubasa left, she closed and locked the door to the bathroom and began to undress herself. Before taking off her undergarmets she rested her hands on the counter and looked at herself in the mirror. I look like a mess. What happened last night? She questioned herself mentally, trying to remember. Tsukushi had turned on the water to let it warm up, once releaving herself of her ramaining clothes she slipped into the warm soothing water. All I can remember is that I was walking home, these jerks tried to pick me up, and the Tsukasa came..
Tsukushi's head started to hurt from trying to remember what had gone on. Perhaps, Tsukasa knows. Either way he probably wont tell me. That's when an idea popped into her head, she grinned a bit and thought it out. Though, he will tell the other members of the F4. They'll tell me, I know they will. Tsukushi started devise a plan.
An hour later, Tsukushi was out of the bathroom and wrapped in a towel, when Tsubasa came back, she held a nicely designed top and a skirt that matched the top. She had also brought heels to go with the outfit. "You'll wear these, while I get your clothes washed." She established and laid the clothes next to Tsukush. Tsubasa looked Tsukushi up and down and commented her as she left the room once again. "You have a nice figure."
Tsukushi blushed lightly at the comment, but it soon vanished when she picked up the top, it was made from the finest silk. I wouldn't expect anything less from her, but why would she give me such nice clothes to wear while mine wash? What's she planning? Tsukushi had known Tsubasa well enough now to know she would be planning something. Either way, Tsukushi on the clothes, they fit her nicely, showed off her curves a bit, the heels made her a little taller.
When Tsubasa returned yet again, she had a curling iron with her and a make-up set. Tsukushi put her hand to her face and shook her head lightly, telling herself, I knew it.
"You've probably figured that I have something up my sleeve, haven't you?" Tsubasa asked accusingly, having her sit down. Tsukushi simply nodded and let Tsubasa get to work on her hair.
An hour later her hair was done as was her make-up. Her hair was put up into a small bun, and the ends of her hair showed small curls, a small strand of her hair was curled. The small strand was apart of her bangs. Her make-up was light, and it showed her beauty furhermore. Tsubasa stood proudly and smiled gently and mentioned to Tsukushi as she picked up the items she used on the girl. "We'll be going out, as in for a girls night out. There's something I need to talk to you about."
Tsukushi nodded polietly and thanked her as she got up and headed for the door with Tsubasa. Tsubasa led her down the hall and stopped so she could put her things in her room. When she returned they continued down the hall and into the kitchen.
Tsukasa and the others had been sitting around the table eating breakfast and watching T.V. Tsukasa was the first to look up and his jaw dropped, if it could it would have been unhinged. Rui was next he looked her up and down, noticed her curves and the outfit, he would have been gawking if he hadn't turned his head away. The other two turned their heads and gawked for a moment until Tsubasa started to speak. "Speechless, I see."
Tsukasa turned his gaze away from her and tried focus it on the T.V., but he found this extremely hard to do. Tsukushi was standing next to Tsubasa when she said that, she had a light blush across her face, where as the others had blushes that could be noticed. Ryo tried to hide his by ignoring her prescences, the other two swallowed hard and forced their gaze away. Where as Tsukasa couldn't help but let his eyes wander over every feature of her body.
Tsukasa's blush deepened when he remember what happened the night before. He rose and walked out of the room, to prevent himself from latching onto her right there and then. Tsukushi watched him, she smirked lightly. But, was brought away from the moment when Tsubasa continued to speak, this time directing her words towards herself. "Tsukushi, we'll be going out tonight around 7pm. Do you have to work today?"
Tsukushi thought it over for a moment and then spoke up. "No, I don't. Today's my day off." Her voice was soft, and one by one, members of the F4 started to leave the room. Tsukushi whispered to Tsubasa, "Say, you don't mind if I mess with them a bit, do you?"
Tsubasa chuckled lightly and replied, "No, but watch what you say when you're around Tsukasa today. He seems a odd, today."
"Okay. I'll try." Tsukushi said as she walked over to Akira who started to get up to leave. She grabbed his arm and pulled him off to the side, just as Tsukasa walked back in. "Come here, really quick."
Akira decided it was best if he left, considering the other three had already gone and being in the same room with the girl Tsukasa loved, could mean trouble for him. Though, before he could get anywhere he was being dragged off to God knows where. And at that moment, Tsukasa happened to be walking. He managed to muster out 'Help me...'
Tsukasa saw him being dragged away and heard his plea, he shrugged lightly and went to his fridge to get himself a drink. When Tsukasa looked back up the two were no where to be seen. He thought he would go and spy, but was caught by Tsubasa.
"Where do you think you're going?" She asked, her hands being on her hips.
"To help Akira out." He choked out.
"No, your not, no go keep the rest of your guests company." She ordered. And he did as she had said to do. Tsukasa frowned, he was curious as to what they were doing in his house. And then small images of naughty things had gone through his mind at what the two could be doing. His blood started to boil a bit as he walked to his room.
Tsukushi had brought Akira into the other room and pushed him against the wall and preceeded to ask questions. "Has he told you anything that may have happened last night?"
Akira thought it over for a moment and shook his head no. Then Tsukushi balled her hand into a fist and put it in front of him. "Are you lying to me." Akira once again shook his head no, without hesitance. And he thought for a bit until she spoke again. Her appearence may have changed but her attitude is still the same.. He would have continued to think but, Tsukushi spoke again.
"Thanks anyways, Akira." She said unballing her fist and walking away, along with sighing.
Akira noticed that she reffered to him by his name and not his last name. She had been calling them by their first names, for quite some time. Why is that? He would have thought it over a bit more, but realized that Tsukasa saw him being dragged away and knowing him he would think something of it. Akira rushed to the other room and out and towards Tsukasa's room to straighten things out.
Tsukushi felt a slight breeze blow past her, she realized it was Akira and he seemed to be in rush to get away while he could. Tsubasa lightly chuckled before speaking. "It seems you've scared him out of his wits."
"Seems so." She agreed. Her and Tsubasa got along pretty well. Tsubasa didn't mind Tsukasa liking Tsukushi, but she knew their mother would have a problem with it.
---Sorry, it's short---
Yes, I know, it's short. But, that's what I wanted to make chapter 5 for the most part. Don't hate me for the shortness. Do review.. Oh yeah, I know it wasn't as good as the other chapters. I shall improve on that in the other upcoming chapters. :3
