Once again I want to show my gratitude to these beautiful people for reviewing my fic…arigatou gozaimasu!!!!-bows-
Ric: LOL..haha nope. This isn't a "MY SASSY GIRL" type of story. Hehe I haven't seen that movie either..i only saw the first part WINDSTRUCK…but I have to admit, I fell asleep while watching that. The girl in "My Sassy Girl" maybe like Fuuko, but the guy cannot be Tokiya-type, so this fic cannot be compared to that movie. And yes, I will try to travel with an airplane next time to have more experience…hehehe (This guy is my Chinese friend, Ric, by the way)
Aoi-chan07: Hehehe thanks for the compliment, Aoi-chan. And yes, Kaiya would be a factor that would lead Tokiya and Fuuko together, IF and only if…the two would cooperate…heheh here's the next chapter! There would be a Tofuu moment here so please R&R!

cLoTiHeArT: wow!u do like suspence..hahahaha about your question "why does tokiya had to have a child?"…I think the only answer would be LUST…lust can exist without love right?

Here's the next chapter everyone…Hope you'll love this.. and don't forget to review! I love you ALL!!!
CHAPTER FIVE
Ganko and her mother walked downstairs slowly, leaving the sacred building silently. They reached the church's gate and stood there mutely, trying very hard not to make fazing noises.
"Mom?" Ganko moved her face towards her mother. "Have you noticed something? That little girl seems very familiar…like I saw her before somewhere." She gave her mother a questioning look.
"Really? I can say that too but I'm not so sure that I have really seen that child before, Ganko dear," her mommy answered her back in a low voice.
The blond lady bit her upper lip and thought hard. She was sure she saw that kid before, not just sure when or where. Then something snapped on her, and her eye sockets extended to a larger size afterwards. The orange hair, the pinkish cheeks, the baby blue eyes? Ganko's face whitened in recognition….oh dear, I wish Fuuko-neechan would remember well where she's at.
--------------------------------TOFUU----------------------------------
"Your name is Kaiya? Then you must be--,"
"Yes, Fuuko, she's indeed, my daughter…"
A familiar deep voice cut her out and she quickly glanced towards its direction, knowing fully what she will see next. And as though her senses were all in proper functioning, she wasn't surprise to see that she wasn't mistaken. Eight long years didn't make her forget the cold baritone voice that this man face-to-face with her possessed. She felt her heart skipped a beat as her hands started to clench and unclench. Ready to knock him out any minute.
"Welcome back, Kirisawa," Tokiya greeted her with the same frigidity he had back in highschool when they first met.
He was still the same, though she had to admit she had become more handsome than before. His silver hair didn't show evidence of maturation nor the long years that passed and he had it tied still on his nape, though Fuuko thought it was cut a little bit shorter than before. It was like the more years added on his age, the more his visual aspects improve. He managed to preserve his beautiful features until now that he's more than thirty. (A/N: Nyahahahaha its soo funny because we all know that Tokiya got silver hair, how in the world are we to distinguish if he got white hair or not?)
She didn't expect that this is what awaits her after her homecoming. A much colder, much arrogant, and much…well, alright, much beautiful Tokiya MIkagami. But those were just secondary to the thing she least expected or presumed.
His eyes were so deep and almost scary, she had to take a quick breath to remain standing and be able to stare back at him. The coldness of his stare was unnerving, like he hid something beneath it. Hatred and Anguish?
What the hell?! And he's the one who got the nerve to act like this after everything he did. Damn you, fridge boy! Fuuko cursed under her breath.
She kept her composure intact and raised her head rather proudly. "So we meet again, Mikagami," she retorted with equal coldness, or even more.
"You knew each other Daddy?" their glares were interrupted when Kaiya's jolly voice came to ask.
Tokiya made the first move to cease the eye contact and bent his neck down to smile at his daughter. Kaiya reached for his hand and he bent a little to hold hers. "She's an old friend," he answered plainly.
Fuuko grimaced. Her eyes focused intently at Tokiya who was busy amending his daughter. How on earth can he act like this? She was so confused. After what he did? After everything? After—Grr. I am so gonna kill you Mikagami! I hate you so much.
She didn't presume this would happen. She was expecting he would be shock to see her again, though the fact that they meet in the church was out of her plan. What she thought was that he would feel guilt or regret or fear that she's now back. . She thought it would be simpler to execute her plans to work now that Tokiya's divorced. But the way he's acting now, she knew it would be difficult to put her plans to action. She better get another alternative.
"Oh really, Otousan?," Kaiya beamed and clasped her hands together. Tokiya responded with a slight nod. Then she brought her face upward to face Fuuko. "By the way, what's your name?" her cute childish voice asked her slowly and she pulled Fuuko's jeans once more to get her attention.
"Monkey," Fuuko heard Tokiya murmured and she gave him an immediate glare before she turned to face Kaiya. A smile plastered on her face. She hated Tokiya and all the things he did, and she even hated him more now, now that he acted as proud as this. But no way she's hating the little kid, Fuuko actually adored the girl despite the fact that SHE is ice block's daughter. She's always a sucker of cuteness.
"My name's Fuuko Kirisawa. I'm your dad's err…old friend indeed," she glared back at Tokiya.
"You are Fuuko?" Tokiya's mom asked, almost shaky.
Fuuko was more confused. Why was she the one who seemed to be surprise that she's back when she didn't do anything to her? What the hell is going on here?! She wanted to scream but she held her composure steadily, knowing fully well where she was at that moment.
"Yes…Mrs. Mikagami," Fuuko answered her back rather cautiously, waiting more words from the old woman. But Mrs. Mikagami just paled and didn't say another word. Fuuko looked at her husband and saw that he did the same reaction. What's gotten into them?
"Anou, otousan?" Kaiya pulled her dad's pants and looked at him with the ever famous puppy-dog eyes.
Tokiya rolled his eyes and forced himself not to laugh. "What is it now, Kaiya?"
Kaiya smiled sheepishly and looked down. "Since she's your friend and she's a nurse," she brought her face up to look at her dad with a hopeful expression. "I was wondering if we can get her as Obaasan's private nurse?" she pleaded then looked at her grandpa. "Obaasan promised he will get the nurse I met on the plane when I talked about her at the party yesterday, right Obaasan?"
The couple looked shocked. The senior Mikagami almost choked out. He DID tell her that, but that was just to stop his granddaughter from bugging the issue over and over again. He didn't know the kid was serious, or that they will really meet the lady his granddaughter met on the plane, and find out that it was his son's former girlfriend whom they ignored.
They knew who Fuuko was. Their son used to talk about her often a long time ago. But they didn't pay attention thinking that their son was just playing around with the girl, or that he was even serious in that relationship they shared.
The time came that their company was about to lose it's financial and production capacity. And the only way to restore it was by acquiring other company's investments. It turned out that Neon, the Kitajima heiress, was rumored to be involved with a partner her parents protested. And to protect their clan's pride and honor, the Kitajima decided to engage Neon in an arranged marriage with their son Tokiya Mikagami and all came along with the plan, totally neglecting Tokiya's commitment to another girl.
Tokiya told them about Fuuko's depression and that the girl was forced to leave Japan with a broken heart. They felt responsible for everything that had happened between the two lovers. Their son tried to protest what they planned for him, but it was too late. Mr. Mikagami was desperate to retain their company's reputation and the Mikagami-Kitajima nuptial was already set up.
It was almost a year until Tokiya forgave them, with his sister Mifuyu's help and encouragement. They never heard about Fuuko again, but they dreaded the day they will meet. They still felt guilty for breaking the girl's heart.
And no one thought that day would really come, in a very unexpected time and place and without further notice.
Fuuko sweatdropped at the little girl's persistence. She came here to take a vacation and not to do another job, especially not for the Mikagamis. But something in her snapped, she examined the opportunity laid upon her. Isn't this the best way to put her plans to action? Working with the Mikagami would be the best disguise to what she had been putting up before she came back.
She wanted revenge…and yes, revenge she will have. She hid her smirk with an innocent façade.
Tokiya was also surprised at what her daughter suggested. He looked hard at Kaiya and was about to object but someone behind him voiced out before he could get his chance.
"Would you want to work for us, dear?" Mr. Mikagami asked slowly. Everyone turned to look at him in daze. Except for Kaiya who beamed brightly.
Fuuko's jaw dropped. She was so confused at this weird family. Earlier, they were staring at her with fear in their eyes, like she was revived from death. And now, they wanted her or he wanted her rather, to work for them, and be with her for that matter?
But she gathered her equanimity and pulled her jaw up before anyone notice. She managed to give them a genuine smile and nod calmly. "I would be pleasured to assist you sir," she bowed respectfully and turned to face Tokiya, who looked at her in awestruck wonder.
"Oh really, really really?" Kaiya jumped towards her and she caught her in her arms. The kid gave her a quick tight hug and moved down and did the same to her grandpa. "Oh I love you so much grandpa! I knew you would like her," she seemed to be very happy and kissed his grandpa on his cheeks.
Mr. Mikagami sighed but laughed at the little one's exuberance. "Well, Ms. Kirisawa, would you want to go out for lunch with us and discuss about your work and contract?" the old man asked her.
She smiled but declined. She hadn't forgotten about Ganko and her mother who must now be impatiently waiting for her outside the church. "My family's waiting for me outside. I guess I'll pass for now, Mr. Mikagami," she bowed slowly. "And please, call me Fuuko, I'm much more comfortable being called like that," she added.
Mr. Mikagami smiled back at her and nodded in understanding. "Well, I'll expect you at home tomorrow then, Fuuko."
Fuuko responded with a nod. "I better get going, my mom and sister are probably tired now. I'll drop by your house at exactly eight in the morning, Mr. Mikagami." She bowed at the couple and waved at Kaiya. She didn't even take another glance at Tokiya before she hopped out of the building and met her mom and Ganko.
-------------------------------TOFUU------------------------------
Tokiya gazed at the departing Fuuko. Everything was too fast. They met after the mass and in a spit of a second, she'll be his dad's private nurse which means he would see her often at home.
He couldn't believe this and he hated the idea. And the fact that she acted that way towards him was making him all irritated inside. How could she? How could she forget about everything they have shared? Eight years was not even enough for him. He ached for her everytime he got the chance but she, however, had seemed to brush out everything they had.
She had changed so much. Beyond his expectations. And he's starting to hate her more.
"I never thought she would come back," Mrs. Mikagami took a deep breath as she watched Fuuko going downstairs.
"Me either," her husband stared at Fuuko's back as well. And shrugged after seeing Fuuko's slim form vanished from his sight.
"Why did you want her to be your nurse?" Mrs. Mikagami asked her husband softly. "I couldn't get your point, dear."
"We caused too much pain to that young lady, and this is the only way I can think of to make up from all the heartbreaks we gave her," the old man answered silently. She looked down and saw his granddaughter's sleeping form. She must have been tired from the long session earlier, or from dragging the woman twice her weight. He smiled warmly. May you bring forgiveness in her heart, Kaiya. As what your name suggests. Kaiya…forgiveness.
--------------------------------------TOFUU--------------------------------------------
Fuuko woke up with the big Ganko jumping on her bed. "Oh, Ganko not again," she groaned in annoyance.
"Fuuko-neechan, have you forgotten about your meeting with the senior Mikagami today? It's already seven in the morning," Ganko whispered teasingly on her ear and giggled when she saw her sister's eyes flung immediately open.
"Oh my God! Ganko, where's my towel?" Fuuko got up at once and rushed towards the bathroom.
"I placed it there in the bathroom, I'll wait for you in the kitchen for breakfast," she didn't wait for Fuuko's reply and got out from her sister's room right away. She giggled before she closed the door. She knew her sister's engaged to someone else, but she still can't help herself from squealing everytime she thought about her sister working for Tokiya's family. Everything is possible and anything can happen.
Ganko was met by Koganei in the living room. "Good morning, Ganko," Koganei got up and bowed slightly at the gorgeous young lady towards him.
"Isn't it too early to blush, Koganei dear?" Ganko teased and gave him a quick kiss on his blushing cheek, making it as red as a ripe cherry.
Koganei looked away, trying to conceal that inevitable heat trying to escape from his face. Ganko giggled more. She liked teasing the lad and see his cheeks burned in shame. She pulled his hand and invited him to breakfast. Mrs. Kirisawa didn't mind the mushy things her daughter and the young lad, Koganei, were doing. She had full trust on the two and she made Koganei promised not to go beyond sweet kisses and holding of hands, which Koganei respectfully remembered until now. The two made a decision to make their relationship official after graduation, though the way they act now seems to deflect everything they have planned.
Fuuko was slowly walking downstairs, prepared for her meeting in the Mikagami residence. She wore a comfortable black turtle-neck sleeveless and her usual tight jeans. She had her long hair tied up on her nape and a dark-violet leather bag was hung on her shoulder.
She was surprised to see Koganei, but she greeted him somehow. Koganei bowed at her in return.
"Will you be home before lunch, child?" Mrs. Kirisawa asked as she approached the dining table.
"Probably Mom, we'll just discuss about the contract and then I'll leave after that," she pulled her chair and seat on it.
"I would be out until lunch, dear. Will you be the one to cook lunch later?" her mom asked, bringing their breakfast at the table.
"Oh sure. That's no problem mom," she replied.
They had a little chitchat during breakfast. The topic mainly focused on the two young couple with them. Fuuko had been teasing them since she brought herself on the dining table and continued even after they bade their goodbyes to Mrs. Kirisawa.
The three separated on the bus stop as Koganei and Ganko moved their ways towards their university and Fuuko loaded herself in the bus on her way to the Mikagamis.
She reached Tokiya's house, or mansion rather, ten minutes before the appointed time. Tokiya had surely been busy on making money and making himself as wealthy as possible. No wonder he acted like that, he got something to be proud of anyway, she pouted in disgust.
He gave up his love for the money. My love for his money. But I'll assure you Tokiya, your money wouldn't do anything to help you after this.
She narrowed her eyes in hatred and pushed the doorbell petulantly. A small monitor above the doorbell began to turn on after a few seconds.
"State your name and intention," an old guy on the monitor stated monotonously.
"Fuuko Kirisawa. I got an appointment with Mr. Takashi Mikagami," Fuuko answered directly. Feeling relieved that she still remembered Tokiya's dad's name.
The petite guy in the monitor, who she thought, was the Mikagami's mayor domo, lowered his head as though he's scanning something below. He looked back and smiled at her, she blinked.
"You may come in, Ms. Kirisawa," the man said and in a few minutes, the monitor turned off itself. The giant gate opened and she was surprised that it was a beautiful woman who greeted her and not a maid.
Yanagi? Was Fuuko's first thought after seeing the woman standing at the gate with her hands clasped together in front of her. It cant be, she looks like a mature version of Yanagi. Ohhh, I see now. Mifuyu Mikagami, Tokiya's older sister.
"Good Morning, Fuuko dear. Come inside, child," Mifuyu greeted her warmly and even spread her arms and waited Fuuko to come towards her for a tight embrace.
Fuuko moved closer to her, but hesitated to accept the woman's embrace. Mifuyu smiled at her and volunteered to compress herself to Fuuko. "It's good to see you at last," she said warmly. Fuuko blinked in confusion but hugged the woman back. This must be the weirdest family there is.
Mifuyu tagged her towards the Mikagami's mansion and they entered silently. She was brought towards a room with a very a rectangular table and saw the other Mikagami members resided comfortably on their seats. Tokiya didn't seem took breakfast today, she thought. Or the jerk didn't want to see me at breakfast, DUH!! Fuuko thought madly.
"FUUKO!!" Kaiya ran towards her from her seat and hopped mirthfully at her. Fuuko caught her and carried Kaiya steadily.
"Kaiya, how many times do we have to tell you that it is a disrespectful to ran about while eating," her grandma reminded her and gestured her to take her seat back.
The little girl just giggled. "Sorry granny, I was just happy to see Fuuko again," then she pulled herself from Fuuko and sat back beside her granny.
"Why don't you join us for breakfast, Fuuko dear," Mifuyu invited and Mr. Mikagami nodded in agreement.
"Oh no, thank you Mifuyu-san. But I have already taken my breakfast at home," Fuuko answered with all respect she can give.
"Well, then, just sit beside me and lets discuss about your work for my dad," Mifuyu smiled brightly and pulled a seat for her.
She brought herself above the chair and waited patiently for Mr. Mikagami to say something. She winked at Kaiya who kept looking towards her direction. The child giggled and devoured her pancake silently.
Mr. Mikagami smiled warmly at his cute grandchild and turned towards Fuuko. "My granddaughter seems to like you a lot, Fuuko," he started.
Fuuko sheepishly smiled at the old man and turned to look at Kaiya. "And I like her, too," she replied truthfully. She does like the child, even though she's Tokiya and the other girl's daughter.
"So Fuuko, how long have you been a nurse? Tokiya told us that you studied nursing and worked in America?" Kaiya's grandfather inquired.
Fuuko nodded. "That is correct, Mr. Mikagami. I've been in service for four years now. Though I have to admit, I haven't been a private nurse before," she said honestly.
"Oh I see. But I guess you'll easily adjust. I bet you got a good education there in America, their facilities there are quite better than ours," the old man calmly said, taking a sip of his hot coffee.
Kaiya and the others were unbelievably quiet. And Fuuko trembled a bit. Mr. Mikagami seemed to have covered everybody's mouth invisibly, and left hers to have a direct conversation with him. He speaks with authority, though she believed that he isn't a very strict man. The others just probably respect him so much and she mentally promised to do the same at the time they'll be spending together.
"Oh, by the way, if you're looking for Tokiya, he's not here anymore. He went early to his office. He said he left a lot of paperworks to do," Mifuyu just brought up, for a reason Fuuko can't apprehend. She replied by nodding slightly. As if I care? she wanted to tell her, but terminated the idea since she knew it would be disrespectful.
"Would you want some coffee, Fuuko dear?" Mrs. Mikagami poured a cup of coffee and pushed it towards their visitor without waiting for Fuuko's approval. Fuuko gingerly took it from the silver-haired woman. Tokiya must have inherited his silver hair from her mother, or its silver due to her age. She didn't know. And she got no more time to think about it. "Thank you, Mrs. Mikagami." She replied curtly.
They resumed their discussion to Mr. Mikagami's library after breakfast. She and Mr. Mikagami alone were discussing about the contract and other stuff for her work. The contract wasn't a legal one since Fuuko came to the country from a vacation leave only. Therefore, she wasn't able to bring her working visa, and besides, it was impossible as well coz she had a contract with the hospital she was working. (A/N: I would not discuss this much further becoz of two reasons--- I don't really know a lot about this stuff and second, its not very important in this story…hehe ;)
They signed a private contract with the agreement that Fuuko will work for only eight hours a day, four hours in the morning and four hours in the afternoon with the salary of 20$ per hour. The contract will only last until a week before Christmas and she will be given weekly payment.
It was lunch time when they finished their discussion and Mr. Mikagami forced Fuuko to join them for lunch.
They had lunch on Mifuyu's beautiful curtilage. Every kind of flowers must have been in there since Fuuko saw different shapes and different colors of it. She was seated between Kaiya and Mifuyu.
The maids began delivering food to the round table at the center of the floral curtilage. They immediately started eating after Kaiya prayed grace. The kid was incredibly happy being with Fuuko and she began telling at lot of jokes while eating, making everyone laughed at the same time. Her grandmother kept telling her not to talk while eating, but she ignored it merrily and gave her granny a big hug.
Fuuko did nothing but to laugh silently on her chair. The girl beside her gave her hugs and kisses everytime she got the chance, making it hard for her to eat. But she didn't mind at all, she love being with Kaiya as much as the girl love to be with her.
"Didn't Toki-chan say he'd be here for lunch?" Mifuyu asked her dad. Her father nod in reply.
"He'd probably be here any minute," Mrs. Mikagami added while eating her veggies slowly.
Fuuko paused and paled. "He's joining lunch here?" she almost choked out. Everyone just answered her with a nod while they're busily eating their meals.
And just as she was ready to tell them she have to go, Tokiya stepped in with his suit hanging over his forearm.
"Sorry I took long, I had a meeting with another client earlier. I didn't think our discussion would be longer," Tokiya walked towards them, placed his suit over the back of his chair and seated beside his daughter. He loosened his necktie and began eating with them silently, obviously ignoring the visitor sharing lunch with them.
"Hey Dad, look who's here with me!" Kaiya pointed Fuuko with her thumb while pulling her dad's sleeves. Fuuko looked at Kaiya and then to Tokiya who practically nodded at her. She frowned and turned towards her food. She felt her temper rising at what the silver-head acted. She had to fight to urge of smashing Tokiya's head with her chair, which was like the most uncontrollable thing to do at that moment.
Silence took over them after Tokiya came back. Mifuyu took the courage to break the silence and began asking Fuuko.
"So Fuuko, are you married? Or do you have a boyfriend in America?" Mifuyu asked directly, dividing her steak in smaller pieces with her knife.
Fuuko choked out and immediately drank her iced tea. She looked around and saw that everyone looked at her intently, waiting patiently for her answer. Well, everyone EXCEPT fridge boy, that is. He doesn't seem interested at her current status. He was busily eating his food like she doesn't exist.
She bit her lower lip, silently cursing the man beside Kaiya. But she looked up at the other people and plastered a sweet façade. "Well, I'm not married YET," she gave emphasized at the word 'yet' and took a glimpse at Tokiya's direction. Still no reaction, she grimaced but continued "I'm engaged with my co-worker, he's in America right now. But he said he'd be here before Christmas so we can spend it together," she said.
"Oh I see," Mifuyu sighed. She looked disappointed for some reason, Fuuko thought. She lowered her head to look at Kaiya who seemed to show the same reaction.
"Oh that's good I guess. Was he a nurse too, Fuuko dear?" Mrs. Mikagami asked courteously.
She shook her head. "He' s a doctor. His father owned the hospital I'm working on," she responded.
"He is one fortunate guy to have you, dear," Mr. Mikagami stated. "Are you happy with him?" he added afterwards.
She was about to answer him when Tokiya suddenly rose up. "I need to go now, I still got more works at the office," he said coldly and left the table after kissing his daughter on the forehead.
Fuuko stared at him and remembered something. "Oh dear!" She got up and bowed at the older people politely. "I also have to go now, I was tasked to do the cooking today. I totally forgot about that. I'm sorry for the sudden rush," she bowed again.
"Well, then, let Tokiya accompany you home, Fuuko," Mr. Mikagami offered. Fuuko was about to shake her head but it was too late to decline since Mr. Mikagami already called Tokiya and told him to take her home.
Tokiya stopped and gestured a nod at his father and waited for Fuuko.
"Will you be here tomorrow, Fuuko-chan?" Kaiya asked eagerly.
"Yes, Kaiya, I'll start working tomorrow," she gave the kid a quick kiss on the forehead and cupped her little face with her hand. "I'll see ya tomorrow, alright?"
"Yea!!" Kaiya beamed brightly and kissed her on the cheek. "Bye, Fuuko-chan!" she waved at her before Fuuko turned towards Tokiya.
Silence enveloped them as they moved away from the big hall to the mansion's parking lot which resided inside. Fuuko was following him mutely behind, feeling a little tingly. She watched his long hair slowly bouncing behind his back as he walked. He was still beautiful even at the back.
They reached the house's parking lot and Tokiya immediately loaded inside his car. He waited for the other person to get inside but didn't really look at her. He just stayed inside his car without even saying a single word.
Fuuko was stuck outside, not knowing what to do. She lowered her head and peeked outside the car window. "You don't really have to take me home if you don't want to. I can go home alone," she said.
"Get inside, Fuuko," he said firmly, still not looking at her direction.
Fuuko sighed and opened the door. She buckled her seatbelt after she got inside the car. Tokiya started the engine and the car ran towards the giant gate. It opened and they came out from the mansion.
No one dared to talk. Fuuko kept silent the whole time and Tokiya was driving as though she was invisible. She bored her eyes with the things outside. Everything had changed after eight long years. Tall buildings were built and different establishments were opened from everywhere. But she liked the development Tokyo had, and the fact that it still preserved its culture. There were still traditional houses in the city, though most of them are just for public display.
They passed by a road full of cherry blossoms on its side. The petals were floating everywhere and its scents lingered around the surrounding. She took the scent inside her nostrils and she smiled contentedly. She doesn't care about the ice man beside her. He can remain on the winter season forever while she'll spend her time enjoying the fall.
She sighed and rested her head on the front seat. Its good to be back at last, she sighed again. She glanced towards Tokiya's direction and watched as his bangs moved with the wind. Cherry blossoms began entering the window beside him and Fuuko gulped forcefully as she watched the petals touch Tokiya's face. Making him look enchanting.
"Stop staring at me, monkey. It is not proper for an engaged woman like you to stare at another man," he said coldly, his eyes focused on the road.
Her face reddened in embarrassment. "For your information, ice block. I'm staring at the cherry blossoms on your side and not on you. There's no need for me to look at another man. My man's beautiful enough for me to stare at him forever," she retorted as-a-matter-of-factly.
Tokiya glared at her and stopped the car. "Then why do you have to come back? What is your intention, Kirisawa?" he hissed at her face. He looked totally pissed at what she said, or at her presence.
Fuuko was surprised at the sudden gesture but managed to glare back at him with the same intensity. "You're not the reason why I came back, Tokiya, so don't act like that towards me. If you think I still got feelings for you, then kill that mind that thought of that. I don't care about you anymore, Tokiya. I got more important things to think about," she snarled back at him, fighting the tears threatening to flow out from her eyes.
"Then leave my family alone," he uttered sharply, his face getting closer to hers.
"You are not in the position to demand that Tokiya. The contract was between me and your father. It doesn't need to do anything with you. If you wish not to see me, then stuck your nose 24 hours in your office," she firmly answered.
Tokiya pulled his face away from her and stared at the road once more. He gripped on the car wheel in front of him, his face turning solid in anger. "Get out, Kirisawa," he demanded.
"You don't have to tell me. I have been wanting to do that since earlier," she answered before hopping out from his car.
The car rushed forward in a split of a second and Fuuko stood there with both of her knees trembling. She clasped her face with her palms and began to sob noisily. She collapsed at the sidewalk where Tokiya left her and she didn't fight the urge to cry this time. She didn't know why she was crying, but she wanted to take all the pain she felt inside. It was Tokiya, who made her cry like that again. He made her cry for the second time, making her hate him more.
