A/N: I honestly regret becoming the type of writer I didn't want to be, the kind who takes forever to update. I deeply apologize for the extra wait but life has decided to hit the slow lane at the moment and I have many many things I need to catch up on]: , though I know that there is no excuse. But anyway, here we are Chapter Five :D YAY!
Chapter Five Realization:
The man walked into the stylish office room with his eyes glued to the floor.
"Do you have what I asked you for?! the man behind the desk barked out.
"Yes sir." the other man answered in a meek quiet voice while handing a folder over to his boss with a trembleing hand.
The man took the folder from the man before him to reval it's contents, all the while a sadistic smile growing on his face. The folder contained many photos all of the same tall dark haired woman. Some at her job and others at different outings with friends. Some while at school and some coming and going from her home.
"Are you sure this is the right woman Keyya-san!" the man yelled in disbelief at the evidence before him.
"Y-ye- yes sir." The man stuttered out, not taking his eyes off the floor. "As-as you c-c-can see from the other photos." The man reached out handing his boss another folder with the same contents.
The man behind the desk snatched the folder away and flung it open almost scattering the photos in the process. The second folder contained more of the same contents as the first. This time there were more photos of the same woman except for she was in the company of a man. The second folder also contained a set of phone records. The man studied this information with great satisfaction.
"A-as yo-you can tell sir b-by the records i-i-it indicates that contact with both members is p-pr-present sir." He said clearly afraid of his boss.
Looking at the records the man waved his hand dissmissavely, ushering the man out of his office. Once the other man left he took a hold of the photo once agian. He was going to enjoy this very much. Not only will he be able to extract his revenge with great satisfaction, but he would be winning a prize at the end all at the same time. This was going to be fun. He thought as his evil smile returned while staring at the photo of the woman. "Matsuoka Yuki!" he said the name aloud as he crumpled the photo in his hand.
Soujiro awoke with a major migraine and a ringing in his ears, when there was a sudden knock on his door. He choose to ingore it and started to heads towards his shower. All of a sudden the knocking grew louder. Who in the hell would dare bother him this early and especially in his current state.
His parents were never really home, so he had free regin of his home, and the servants knew never to disturb him. He opened a bottole of water that was sitting at his bedside and took a drink, before shouting out. "WHO THE HELL IS IT?!" which made the ringing in his ears worsen more.
"It is I Toro-san young master."came a voice from behind the door.
"Come in already!" Soujiro stated in a demanding voice.
The door opened to reval a man of medium height and slender build. As the man entered the room he bowed down before his master.
After a few moments of dead silence Soujiro was beginning to get more annoyed then he already was. "Well what the hell is it?! Soujiro yelled out before shuddering inwardly regretting his tone. He began rubbing his temples, trying to ease his ever growing migraine.
The man bowed down quickly once again. "I apologize sir." The man said in a shaky voice. "I came to inform you that the meeting you requested me to schedule has been taken care of." The man spoke business like.
"Is that it?" Soujiro asked already yelling at the man in his head for distrubing him over something so trivial, the look in his eyes deadly.
"Yes sir." The man said taking Soujiro's glare as his cue to leave. He bowed down, and left the room shutting the door behind him. "Soon." He said to himself silently as he shut the door. Soon I will extract my revenge.
Soujiro got in to the shower and tried relaxing as the steaming water beat down upon his hungover body. He could not believe what was going on around him. How could any of this be true. The scene he had walked in seemed totally unimaginable. Yuuki was at the Mimasaka Mansion with Akira . He had gone there after going to find Yuuki with no luck. He was going to ask Akira to join him at their favorite club, but he did not expect what he saw instead. Yuuki and Akira together, playing with his little sisters, looking almost like a family.
Soujiro knew that Akira was very private and protective regarding his family, especially his little sisters. He never introduced them to anyone outside of the F4. So seeing Yuuki there with him was a shock. The look in Akira's eyes as he watched Yuuki with his sisters was unmistakeable. Love. Akira had looked towards Yuuki with love, something Soujiro had never done. The next thing he saw cut him even deeper. Yuuki's smile. Her smile was so wide and bright. She had never smiled like that for him before.
It had led him to go out and throw himself a pity party, and he had no idea why. He had drunken until he nearly forgot his own name. All trying to erase the image burning in his brain. His best friend with the girl who was supposed to love him. Grant it he never gave her much hope that he would ever return her feelings, but she always told him she would wait.
He had banked on that. He would go and have all his fun and know that she would still be there waiting at the end, waiting for him. The type of girl his parents had always wanted for him. But now things were different, she was moving on and he wasn't starting to like it. He also wasn't starting to like that she was moving on to his best friend. How on earth could this be happening.
Akira and he had been friends for years, since childhood. Now he was going after Yuuki. He had never thought to seriously about it but it all made sense now. The way Akira would always argue with him over the way he would treat Yuuki. He had ran after her the day she fled out of the dango shop. That's when Yukki had started avoiding him and ignoring his calls. Now they were together, a couple! NO! he thought. This isn't right, Yuuki should be with me. Deep down he always knew that it was true, but he never wanted to accept it.
Now here he was wishing things were different. Wishing he had done something sooner, before the current events had taken place. Now here she was moving on without him. There had to be something he could do. He couldn't let Yuuki get away from him. "No!" he shouted out as he hit the shower wall. Not agian, he couldn't let another chance at love escape him. He had to fix this, had to find a way to win Yuuki's love and attention back.
He loved her. YES that was it, he loved her and he had to tell her. It couldn't be too late, and he could not let this chance pass him by. This was his last chance and he had to give it his all. Heart and soul. It was obvious to him now that no other girl made him feel the way she did when he was in her presence. He felt comfortable and his true self came out with her always.
He knew he did not have to masquereade around her and pretend to be what he was not. She accepted him the way he was, even his womanizing ways. She never asked for anything in return the way all the other women had, all she wanted was to be loved by him. She even took a tea ceremony class just to impress him.
How stupid could he be not to do something sooner before now. He got out of the shower and dried himself off. He grabbed a pill vile next to the sink and swallowed down two pills, the shower doing little to ease his headache. He had to go to Yuuki and profess his love to her. It couldn't be to late, he had to have her by his side. Now and always.
Yuuki walked into the tea ceremony class, not knowing what she was doing here. The only reason she took this class was because of Soujiro,and currently she was trying to put him behind her. She was doing a pretty good job at it too, or at least she thought she was. Spending time with Akira was a blessing in disguise. Sometimes with him she could go hours without thinking of Soujiro. Strange considering they were best friends and were extremely close.
She was exhausted. Last night had taken so much out of her. She had always thought of her self as fit and exercised regularly, but spending time with Emu and Memu had changed that entirely. The two little girls were incredibly charming and very energetic. They had talked her into playing tons of games she hadn't played since she was a child herself.
And to be completely honest she enjoyed herself immensely. Her favorite part being where they had tricked Akira, future heir to the Yakuza crime organization, into letting them give him a makeover. When he realized what the where doing he tried to talk his way out of it with no avail. Upon remembering last nights events a warm smile grew on Yuuki's face.
She had always had tremendous amounts of fun with the most serious F4 member. Behind all his business like facade, he was a very witty and lively person. He had incredible thoughts on what was fun and what was not. Yuuki had to make sure to remind him to try out new things. Actually though they were much more alike than she had initally thought. They enjoyed many of the same things. There personalites were in fact very similar.
Though it had occured to her that Akira was a strikingly handsome man and must have stadiums of woman after him. She also remembered that his taste ran along the lines of older woman, so why did he spend so much time with her. Did he feel sorry for her after what happened between her and Soujiro? No, Akira wasn't that type of person, he was kind hearted. So then what else could it be. What ever it was Yuuki began finding herself wishing it not to stop. Loving the time she spent with Akira, for he made her feel special and different.
She was very thankful for his friendship and did not want to lose it for nothing in the world. Before she realized it, her class was over and she had paid very little attention. She got up from where she sat and began to gather her things. When she looked up she had noticed someone was waiting there for her with a bouquet of two dozen different colored roses.
A/N: Due to how long it took for this chapter to be written and seeing as how I know what will happen in the next I will try my hardest to post it up by Thursday :D . Thanks for reading. Please review.
