Oh I am so glad I finally got them out. After my pc conveniently crashed with my previous draft in it, I was so fed up that I did not know how to work these two afresh. I took so long, really sorry to those who have followed my fanfic. After I read the reviews, I realize I just can't give it up like that. Not without a good ending to thank my readers. It may take a while to write but I should not just discontinue.

Well, enjoy reading! 

Tsukushi looked at the four guys in disbelief. Weren't they the four rich brats she met outside her school? That obnoxious medusa guy was standing in front of her, glaring at the guy whom has helped her. Actually both of them were having a glaring contest. It is hard to tell who is more furious.

Her eyes turned to Yuki and saw that she was covered in what seemed like food stains and one of the brats was standing in front of her as though as shielding Yuki. Tsukushi turned back to look at the medusa guy but saw instead a pair of eyes like marble looking at her. She gasped and felt a odd tug at her heart.

She felt herself being absorbed in those marble eyes and then pull back hard to focus at the present situation, feeling very confused indeed.

"What is going on? Who the hell are you people?" Tsukushi demanded loudly, directing her questions to one of the attackers. To her disgust, the attacker ignored her and looked at her scornfully. One of them moved forward, giving them a malicious look.

Yuki quickly step to the front of her friend. "Please don't hurt her!" she begged aloud. "No! Yuki" Tsukushi attempt to pull Yuki back. Yuki stood firmly in front of her, determined not to move.

"No one will be hurt." Soujiro state firmly aloud. "Akira? Ladies? Please follow me. You need to get cleaned up. Tsukasa? Rui? F4 will meet up later at Tsukasa place later ok?"

Tsukasa looked like he is going to protest then Rui placed a hand on his shoulder. Tsukasa turned to look at him for a while, returned his glaze at the others, staring hard at Tsukushi before he let out a growl. Finally he shouted to his hitmen "Let's go!" and made his way out of the forest with Rui.

They watched silently as the rest of the hit men followed the other two.

"Yuki" Tsukushi called out and the later turned around. Both their eyes were clouded with confusion. "Are you all right? I am so glad I found you! What happen to you?"

Yuki apparently was still in bit of shock, she tried to remember what happen before this bizarre episode. She looked at her clothes and scenes of sneering faces flash back at her.

Soujiro immediately interrupted the conversation. "Well, we better get a move on. Ladies, please follow us back to Akira's place to clean up. I am sure you don't want to go home to your parents looking like this"

"You two are with that medusa guy! And it seemed he is with the bunch of idiots who sprayed us. You chased after my friend and she is crying. Why shall we trust you?" demanded Tsukushi, instinctively grasped Yuki's arm to pull her behind herself.

"No Tsukushi, it's…."

"I helped you to look for your friend for an hour, letting you torture me in the car and landed up looking like a five years old art project. This is the thanks I get!" Akira spat out, looking more dangerous by the minute.

Tsukushi immediately felt shame and guilt washed over her face. She bowed deeply and apologized profusely to Akira, whom stormed off. Soujiro beckoned them to follow him.

Tsukushi and Yuki found themselves walking silently behind the F2. Slower in pace as Tsukushi limped a quite bit with her injured leg with Yuki helping her.

The exposed wound was throbbing in pain with all the running and irritation caused by the paint.

They found Akira's car parked with the hazard lights on at an awkward angle over the centre and leftmost lane of the road. It was lucky that it was quite a deserted road.

Akira marched on to his car without any impression that it was not the way he has parked it. Soujiro, whom wisely did not question Akira about it, satisfied himself by giving Tsukushi a curious look. She returned the look with a sheepish one.

Just when all of them were to get into the car, Tsukushi burst out " No!" The three looked at her, Akira who has been receiving her outburst from the last hour, asked wearily "What now?"

" I erm, sorry. But I should not take your car," Seeing Akira was about to blast at her again, she quickly continues " No, no. Its my clothes. They will stain your car seats definitely. I will er walk to your place. Don't worry, I have very good stamina" she proceed to limp towards the other direction.

" Tsukushi!" cried Yuki.

"Oh for god sake!" Akira slapped his forehead. He took one stride and heave one side of her arm, immediately Soujiro took her other arm, proceed to drag a protesting Tsukushi into the back seat then motioned a stunned Yuki to get into the car as well.

Finally getting to the car, Akira saw a very uncomfortable Tsukushi trying hard to lift herself away from the seat covers from his rear mirror. Yuki trying hard to dissuade her, beside him Soujiro is shaking with mirth.

Even Akira found her" invisible chair" stance amusing enough to find a smile creeping up his lips. "My dear girl, I assure you the seat covers matters to me like a piece of tissue. I have my workshop change it so often that one never remembers what the inside of my car looks like. Please sit down normally so that you don't exchange your legs for my seat covers"

Unable to continue, Tsukushi flopped back down to the seats. She has to bite her lips when the full extend of her injury claim back on her.

Seeing her wince in pain, all three of them looked at her in concern. She managed a smile to assure them. After a while, she said to the back of Akira's head "Er, I didn't get your names, I just want to say thank you so much and am really sorry for doubting you two."

"Akira."

"Eh?"

"I am Mimasaka Akira. This is Nishikado Soujiro. My friends call me Akira" Akira turned his head slightly to give her a smile.

"Thank you Akira and Nishikado san"

Turning his face to them, Soujiro grinned and echoed"My friends call me Soujiro"

"Well then, thank you Akira and Soujiro"

"Thank you both very much indeed" said a grateful Yuki.
