F4 LOVE STORY: TSUKASA

Chapter Two: Ups and Downs
-
Tsukasa saw Tsukushi as she passed by the corridor, he stared at her but Tsukushi didn't seem to notice him, she just walked ahead towards her designated classroom. He made a frustrated sound.
It has been two weeks after their 'war' and it has been two weeks that Tsukasa felt something that he couldn't believe, he likes Tsukushi…no.. he loves Tsukushi. He hates to admit it but it's true and he didn't know why... and why her?
He just suddenly felt it, maybe because Tsukushi's different from other girls.
"Tsukasa, what's wrong?" Akira asked with concern.
"Huh," he looked at his friends with confusion, "Oh, nothing. Let's get out of here and go somewhere else."
"Yeah," Soujirou agreed, "I heard this newly open bar, lots of girls too."
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"Hey, what's with you being so quiet?" Soujirou asked to Tsukasa. "You're not the kind of guy who sulks."
"I'm not sulking!" Tsukasa defended.
"So what's with the attitude then?"
Tsukasa took a deep breath before, "I love Tsukushi."
Akira sputtered his wine then he coughed.
"I guess the food fight did it." Rui mumbled.
"You love her!" Soujirou said with obvious shock, "You who never even dated a girl before!"
Tsukasa smacked his friend, "You don't need to remind me of that!"
Soujirou rubbed his head, "But still, you're choosy when it comes to girls."
"You're right," Tsukasa smiled, "And I chose her."
"Why?" Akira asked in confusion.
"Because of the food fight, nobody ever fights Tsukasa with food before," Rui answered.
"Rui, stop thinking of food," Akira muttered.
Tsukasa's vein popped, "Of course not that! I just felt it and I myself didn't know why, but all I could say is that I love her and she's not like those other girls who'll probably kiss our feet if we asked them too."
Soujirou nodded, "You got a point there."
"She kissed your head though," Rui added yet again.
The F3 looked at him with annoyance.
"Dude," Akira said to Rui, "You do know that that's different right?"
Rui shrugged, "Whatever."
"Anyway," Soujirou sighed, "Are you planning to tell her?"
"Of course not…yet," Tsukasa said, "I mean I'm Doumyouji Tsukasa and I usually don't chase girls but it's always the other way around, the problem is how can I make her chase me?"
The F3 sweat dropped.
"Tsukasa," Akira said with annoyance, "You said that you love her because she's different and now you want her to chase you! Of course that's not possible, it's not like she'll want to chase you, ne? Why not just court her or send her flowers, you know, that kind of stuff."
"I can't just do that," Tsukasa muttered.
"Why not?" Soujirou asked.
"Because she'll think I like her."
"That's exactly the point!" Soujirou said in frustration.
"But what if she'll just avoid me, what I need is something that'll make me get her attention."
"Tsukasa's right," Akira then agreed, "And everyone knows that he doesn't chase after girls."
"Irritate her some more then…" Rui muttered.
Tsukasa looked at his friend then he grinned, "That's right, that would surely get her attention."
"But you'll piss her off if you have another round of fight." Akira said.
"And she'll definitely hate you if you try the fireman's water again." Soujirou reminded him.
"I won't do anything like that," Tsukasa said with a frown, "I'll just irritate her with little things."
"Like put some itching powder on her back," Rui put in.
"No! I'll probably think of something."
Akira's eyes suddenly twinkle with idea, "Hey, how about that planned party, then you could just invite the students and I'm sure she'll be there too."
"Yeah," Tsukasa agreed, "That's right."
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Tsukushi was busy on the counter at the rental shop when Yuki came running with excitement.
"Hey Yuki, good you're here, help me out."
"Okay, then I can tell you the good news."
"So why are you here and not at the dango shop?" Tsukushi asked as they finished encoding the movies that their customers rent and the ones that has been returned.
"My part-time worker was there already and so was my assistant."
"And what's with you being excited about."
Yuki clapped her hands, "F4 is having a party at Tsukasa's mansion and everyone is invited!"
Tsukushi raised her brow, "So?"
"So we're coming silly."
"I don't think that's a good idea."
"Why not?"
"Do you still remember what happened between me and Tsukasa two weeks ago?"
Yuki shrugged, "So? It's like eons ago, it's forgotten and it's not like he red tag you or anything."
"But Yuki he'll obviously be there because it's his house."
"And your point is?" Yuki quirked her brow.
"Well we'll both be reminded what happened and who knows what pranks he'll pull next time considering he has a brain of a child for an adolescent."
"But you're even, right? And he never even bothers you at school," Yuki reasoned out, "C'mon Tsukushi, we'll have some fun and since there's a lot of people there I'm sure he won't notice you."
Tsukushi sighed in defeat, "Alright."
"Yay!"
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"Tsukushi are you done? Let's go, I'm sure the party's starting already," Yuki called on.
"I'm coming!" Tsukushi said as she descended the stairs.
"Wow, you look good, my friend!" Yuki marveled, Tsukushi's wearing a spaghetti strapped black mini-dress that ends above her knees and a high-heeled black boots that reached below her knees.
"You too Yuki," Tsukushi complimented her friend, Yuki is wearing a white tube top and black mini-skirt and an ankle length black boots.
Yuki dangled the keys in her hands, "So ready to party?"
"Yeah."
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"Why isn't she here yet?!" Tsukasa muttered as he looked around the crowd with a bored look, "If she won't come, I'll probably throw everyone out of my house!"
"She'll be here, maybe she'll be a little late," Soujirou assured his friend while on either side of him was a couple of beautiful girls from another school, they're his flavor of the week.
Rui was nowhere to be seen, probably sleeping on one of the room while Akira is with the woman he brought earlier and they're dancing at the dance floor.
"She better come here at my party," Tsukasa said with impatience.
Soujirou smirked, "Anyway, speaking of your ladylove, she just entered the main door."
Tsukasa abruptly looked towards the entrance and he automatically smile. He saw her looked around the crowd together with her friend, it was like he's seeing her moving in slow motion, tilting her head, taking a punch from the table not far away and sipping from it.
He took his glass of wine and he started to walk towards Tsukushi.
Tsukushi remained standing as she looked around the crowds, Yuki left her minutes ago to dance with a guy from another school, she was looking for a seat when she saw Tsukasa walking towards her.
'Oh, great!' she thought. She was about to move but the idiot seems to notice that she's about to flee.
"Yo Tsukushi," Tsukasa called and after a while he was standing in front of her, though she would like to think he's blocking her because he's tall.
Tsukushi made a face, "I'm starting to hate that word," she said in a loud voice.
"Why so?"
"Remember the first time you called me like that, you point a fire hose on me."
Tsukasa grinned, "Don't worry I have no plan on doing that again, so having fun?"
Tsukushi rolled her eyes, "Not anymore." She said while eyeing him.
Tsukasa's vein popped, he was about to retort when the music turned into rock and the dancers on the floor started to push each other and somebody happened to pushed Tsukasa and he tumbled a little towards Tsukushi and his wine was poured on Tsukushi's clothes.
Tsukushi's eyes widened as she felt the cold and sticky liquid pour down on her cleavage then to her breast and it started traveling down while it's leaving a wet mark on her dress.
Tsukasa was following where the liquid was poured, his eyes widened as he noticed that Tsukushi was not wearing a bra and her breast was molded by the cloth as it got wet. Tsukasa absently licked his lips.
Tsukushi's eyes widened as she saw Tsukasa's expression, "Don't look, you pervert!" she muttered though Tsukasa was the only one who heard her because of the music.
"There's a bathroom upstairs," Tsukasa said after he cleared his throat, "Nobody's gonna disturb you there since no one's allowed to go upstairs."
Tsukushi hesitated for a while as she scanned for Yuki thinking that she'd rather go home, but Yuki was nowhere in sight.
"Do you want me to show the bathroom to you?"
"No, I can manage," Tsukushi said as she started to walk towards the grand staircase, she left her glass of punch to Tsukasa.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Tsukushi wandered around the hallway at the west wing after she reached the top of the stairs, she could barely hear the music from the first floor.
'Where could the bathroom be?' she thought as she kept on walking.
As she walked she saw a slight open door to her left side, 'Maybe it's the bathroom.'
She pushed the door slowly as she peek inside, it's a bedroom and most of the things were in color blue, she won't be surprise if it could be a master's bedroom since it's so huge and the ceilings were so high. She examined the room but it looked like there was no one around, she shrugged and she went inside, surely there was a bathroom inside the room.
Tsukushi opened one of the doors inside the room and she almost smiled to see the bathroom, she felt sticky and she wanted to take a bath, well the idiot said that no one's allowed to go upstairs and she won't be disturb, and the bath tub looked inviting.
She took off her clothes and prepare for a bath, she felt relaxed as she felt the warm water on her skin and body.
After almost half an hour, Tsukushi decided to get up and just grabbed the blue robe hanging near the door, she'll just wait for her own clothes to dry.
Tsukushi decided to watch tv while she combed her hair as she wait for her clothes to dry. She didn't even noticed when her eyes started to droop.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
The next morning, Tsukushi yawned as she opened her eyes, she was about to stretch her arms when she froze in mid air.
She noticed that something heavy was drape on her legs, she gasped as she felt a hand massaging her right breast! Her eyes widened when someone, whoever's with her on the bed, stirred and buried its face on her neck and hugged her tightly.
Her face turned beet red and scrunched up as the hand kept on massaging her breast as if it's the normal thing to do! Tsukushi slowly lifted her covers and saw that she's naked under the cover. Her bathrobe was practically shoved at either side as the sash disentangled.
She panicked when she felt something hard pressing on her sides, and she can't help but scream her lungs out when the person beside her bit and nibble her neck!
"Aaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!"
Tsukasa's eyes opened suddenly as he heard the woman screaming at his side.
"Shut it, woman!"
Tsukushi glared daggers at him, "You pervert!" she pointed an accusing finger at him, "You planned this from the beginning!" then she gave him continuous shoves and punches on the chest. Tsukasa end up lying on the bed again, Tsukushi not noticing that she's practically on top of Tsukasa.
"Stop pointing fingers, crazy woman!" Tsukasa dodge her every moves. "And it's not like I know what room you went to! It's your own doing too!" as he said this, a hand snake around Tsukushi's waist.
"How would I know if you didn't intentionally left this room's door open!?"
Tsukasa's eyebrow twitched with irritation, "If I really planned this, I should have ravished you last night!"
Tsukushi stopped that instant, her face red. Tsukasa has a point. Then she noticed her position. Her body was totally expose to Tsukasa's eyes as she straddles him and Tsukasa has nothing on except for his boxers! Her blush deepened.
Tsukasa smirked and change their position and he ended on top of her. "Good morning," he said before kissing a surprise Tsukushi.
She was so shock she didn't even move and instead, she accepted his deep kiss.
Things between them are starting to heat up when they separated abruptly as they heard a knock on the door and obviously trying to wake Tsukasa.
Tsukushi blinked and stared stupidly towards Tsukasa, "What the heck am I doing?" she asked silently in confusion. She left the bed fast and ran for the bathroom to bathe and change with her clothes. When Tsukushi emerged from the bathroom, she noticed Tsukasa sprawled on the bed and looking at her way.
"Tsukushi…"
"What?!"
"Let's stop biting each other's head off."
"What do you mean?"
"I love you." He declared bluntly.
Tsukushi gasped with shocked, "Don't say such things! Stop making fun of me! What? Is this some kind of your game again?" she asked, not believing him.
"It's true that I love you."
Tsukushi just looked at him, "Right…" she murmured. "You know what…" she walked towards the door, "I think I'll go home now… bye…"
"Tsukushi Makino, you come back here or… or I'll red tag your friend!" he threatened.
Tsukushi stopped on her tracks as she walked back to Tsukasa, "You!" she climbed up the bed and bring her hands up to strangle him, "You are so spoiled! What do you want me to say anyway?!"
"I want to know what you feel about me." Tsukasa said as he caught Tsukushi's hands and kissed her palms and nipped it seductively.
"You're so unfair!" she suck some air as current started to flow on her body.
"Just tell me something….anything!"
"Okay," she sighed, "Let me search myself for a while. That's all I can say."
"Why do you have to search your feelings, you should know what you feel!"
"Persistent, aren't we?!" she blurted.
"Remember the red tag." He smirked.
"You scum! How could I realize if I love you when all I ever felt at the moment is great annoyance for you!"
"Are you attracted to me in some way?" Tsukasa pushed.
Tsukushi turned red with irritation, "You're impossible!"
"Tell me what you think?"
"You're a big pompous ass!"
"Tsukushi…" he whispered her name in annoyance as he started to pull a red slip on his side table.
Tsukushi breathe, "You look good and smell nice, there! Satisfied?!"
"So, you're attracted to me," he grinned.
Tsukushi looked at him as if he was crazy, "No way!"
"Okay, this day, I'll declare that we're now a couple," he stated with a wide smile.
"How I wish I could wipe that smile off your face!" she ranted, "Do you really think I'll accept that idea!"
"Yes," Tsukasa nodded with confidence.
"How so?" her forehead crumpled.
"If you don't, your dear best friend will be in trouble once she receives a red tag."
"Do you really think I'll buy that the second time?" she asked in annoyance.
Tsukasa shrugged as he smirked, "Well, I think not. But either way, I'm Tsukasa Doumyouji, and I can do anything, just to get what I want. And Yuki is your closest friend, ne?" he gave Tsukushi a sideway glance.
Tsukushi gritted her teeth as she clenched and unclenched her palm. "Do as you please!" she said silently.
"What was that?" Tsukasa strained his ears towards the irritated Tsukushi.
"I said OKAY!" she yelled at his ears.
Tsukasa flinched and rub his ears as he backed away, but there's a smile on his lips.
"I'll go home now." Tsukushi announced as she started to leave.
"How about a goodbye kiss to your boyfriend?" Tsukasa said with a winning smile.
Tsukushi sighed as she kissed Tsukasa. 'I can't believe this is happening!' her mind roared.
"See you at school, baby!"
Tsukushi closed the door with a bang.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
That's all, maybe things are getting fast between them but they have to. They only have three chapters left and then we'll be having Rui's story.
Yorishiku.
