I noticed everyone seems to like the merman-angel part of tokiya and fuuko…I was wondering if u want me to make an AU fic about that theme…heheh im babbling again…Here's the update!!! This is just a flashback of what happened between raiha and tokiya five years ago. AND I WANT TO CORRECT THIS…I wrote three years in the last chapter. It's actually five years, not three… sorry for the miscalculations.
CHAPTER 14
FlashBack. New York, Five years ago.
A woman's voice rang throughout the plane and Tokiya's eyes sparkled merrily after hearing that their plane will soon to land. Clasping a midget square box in his hand, his lips curled in obvious excitement. He gathered his luggage above him and he took a deep breath before calmly walking out from the flying vehicle.
When he was out from the airport, Tokiya drew a small sheet of pink paper out from his chest pocket and read Yanagi's handwritings carefully. He successfully persuaded Yanagi to give him Fuuko's address in New York although he didn't tell the woman his purpose of asking.
Tokiya searched for an available cab and waited until a yellow car pulled over in front of him. He got inside the vehicle and handed the pink paper to the taxi driver. After a few seconds of reading, the automobile swooshed out from the airport and to Fuuko's apartment.
------------------------------TOFUU--------------------------------
Raiha was standing in front of Fuuko's door, his hand gripping on a freshly opened letter envelope. After asking Fuuko's apartment key from the girl herself, Raiha instantly festinated towards her place, ready to execute a plan he got in mind.
He'll probably be here any minute now. There's no time to lose. He thought helplessly as he struggled to unlock the door with the main key. The door flew opened and he flashed a scanning eye everywhere. He closed the door before proceeding to Fuuko's room, dumping the letter he was holding in the nearest bin he can find.
He had been Fuuko's suitor for more than half a year now. Her ONLY suitor since he practically threatened the others for his own desire. He and Fuuko met at the hospital they were both working at. He, as one of the most competitive doctor and Fuuko as one of the soon-to-graduate student nurses. He immediately liked her on their first meeting. He found her sarcasm and strength very appealing. Not to mention her beautiful face and cute pouting. And of course, her body. No, no, no. He will never forget about that.
Fuuko and he became close for a couple of months until he officially handed Fuuko his application form to court. Fuuko waved him off on his first attempt, saying she's already waiting for someone. But it didn't disappoint him for some reason. The more she talked about her ex-boyfriend, the more he was inclined to continue his courting plans.
He was in Fuuko's apartment to visit when he received a mail addressed from Japan. Fuuko was having a cold bath that time and so he was the one who got the mail. He read the sender's name and his eyes darkened to a dim hue of navy blue. Tokiya Mikagami. The car seller, he thought. And Fuuko's ex-boyfriend, he added grimly. He knew Tokiya, of course. He bought his car from their company a few years back. And he knew about Fuuko and Tokiya, too. Since the girl always talked about him and how she was assured that he would come after her, which became impossible after he established his selfish plan in mind.
For the long months that Tokiya had been writing Fuuko, the woman never received even just one letter. Why? All his letters diverted immediately to Raiha's own condo. How? It's some of the things money and wealth can do.
And now, Raiha was becoming much more possessive towards Fuuko than ever. After he received Tokiya's latest letter saying the lad will arrived at New York on that day, Raiha immediately flew towards Fuuko's apartment to preclude the dreadful moment. Dreadful, in his part.
He slammed the door close after entering Fuuko's own room, smirking inwardly as he anticipated his meeting with the silver-head man.
-----------------------------TOFUU-----------------------------
Tokiya flipped the box repeatedly as he sat on the car's backseat nervously. He's going to meet Fuuko again, and his lips were trembling in complete anxiety. What would Fuuko say? Will she be surprised to see him? Well, probably not since he was sure he sent her a letter beforehand. She's probably still mad at him, though. He knew it since he hadn't been receiving any replies from her. This triggered him to fly to America himself and talk to her personally.
His eyes twinkled in delight, imagining Fuuko's annoyed face after seeing him. And then her face will change from irritated to shock after he presents her the ring inside the midget square box. She might even shed tears after hearing this well-planned speech I made for her. He chuckled lightly. And to think that he really prepared his speech for three months when it only takes a few minutes to say it all. And the will-you-marry-me-? part wouldn't even take more than five seconds.
He flashed a delighted grin at the car's window. For the first time in his life, he really did put a lot of effort to please a girl. Well, its not that he had a lot of girls, but even during his past relationship with Fuuko, he wasn't really this hardworking AND aggressive. Maybe because he knew his love was requited. But now, he has to make her trust him again. And to make her marry him.
He sighed and swiped a dripping sweat from his forehead. Well, it's now or never Tokiya. He held the box closer to his chest.
---------------------------TOFUU----------------------------
Raiha stormed out from Fuuko's bathroom after leaving the shower raining with heavy warm water. He had to make sure that the sound of the flowing water should reach to the living room. He smiled, his preparation all done.
He heard three consecutive knocks from the apartment door. Knowing fully who it was, Raiha covered his nude form with a towel he enveloped around his waist. His after-making-love disguise perfectly portrayed. And he hastened to the door after hearing more knocks from outside.
Tokiya was outside the apartment where the taxi pulled over. It looked more like a personal house rather than the usual apartments he saw in New York and in Japan. Those were just rooms inside a big building, more like hotel rooms actually.
Fuuko must have spent all her time earning a lot, he thought. He smiled, he was expecting this anyway. Fuuko was someone who can live on her own; she's not a lady in distress. That's what he liked about her the most, her strong will and the face that she's the only one who can make him look vulnerable.
He knocked the door a bit more, getting a little bit affected by the inflicting heat of the afternoon. No one was answering so he raised his hand to attempt another knock when the door opened slowly, revealing a tall indigo-haired guy with quite a tired but happy look on his face. The guy was dressed with only a towel surrounding his slender waist. Obviously, it looked like he was just ready for a warm bath from freshly waking up.
OR…
Tokiya examined his looks carefully. His hair was slightly tussled, some locks dangled with the other. He noticed that his chest was somewhat sweaty, like he just came from an exercise or a tiring exhibition. Tokiya narrowed his eyes at him as he heard the bathroom shower flowing heavily as though someone else was bathing inside…?
"Who are you?!" he blurted out rather harshly. And in English.
The guy gave him a confused look but answered him nonetheless. "I'm Raiha, aren't you Tokiya Mikagami of Mikagami Automobiles?" the guy seemed to know him.
Tokiya quirked an eyebrow upward. He didn't remember meeting this guy somewhere, or anywhere. "I don't remember meeting you. Where is Fuuko?" was his abrupt and cold reply.
"Oh, did my girlfriend purchase a car from you? She's still on the shower, would you want to come in?" Raiha smiled warmly at him, opening the door gently in welcome. "I'll just tell her to get dress and meet—"
"Your girlfriend?" Tokiya cut him off.
"Haha. Yes," Raiha chuckled coolly. He mentally congratulated himself seeing Tokiya's obvious frown. His plan almost done. "Why don't you come in while I call—"
"No thank you," the silverhead turned around quickly and walked off. He closed his eyes and bit his lower lip in his furious attempt of digesting the sudden news.
How dare she? He thought as he walked away from the apartment. So this is your plan, Fuuko? Making love with your boyfriend while fully knowing that I'm gonna come and see you. Tokiya hissed.
FUCK!!! He halted and bombed the closest wall with a loud sound of his fist. "Fuck you, Fuuko!!!" he shouted, tears starting to spring out from his eyes. Seeing a guy in her own apartment was the last thing he expected, especially NOT a half-naked one. He knew everything was his fault and he admitted it so many times. And he suffered for it too. But is this the payment of his cowardice? The hope that Fuuko was going to wait for him always lived within him, and it kept him from committing suicide. It was the reason that he continued to live his life. It's the hope that someday they will be able to resume the moments they shared.
But now…
"Fuck you…" he added a soft curse as he leaned his forehead on the wall, tears now continuously flowing from its sockets.
Back at Fuuko's Apartment.
Raiha collided his back on the couch, relief flooded all over him. He took a long breath and punched some numbers on his mobile.
A girl on the other line answered.
"Hey, Fuuko-san," Raiha said. "I'm inside your apartment,"
"Oh, yea. Have you seen that thing you left there?" Fuuko answered at the other end,
"Unfortunately, no. I probably left it somewhere. I'm on my way to the hospital to give you back your keys. Thank you for lending them to me,"
"No prob, Doctor. Oh Shinoda-san, I have to go now. You know were not allowed to accept a call at work, I'll just wait for you at the nurse station. But if you can't find me there, just hand the keys to Sheila or Vanni, alright?" with that, Fuuko hung up.
Raiha breathed again. Everything's done.
----------------------------------------------
A/N: Now, now hold your horses people…If you got plans of touching MY Raiha, think again. I will send you flying out from this planet::coughscoughs:: alright now, are you all calm? This is an AU fic but as much as possible i want to retain the casts character. We all know that Raiha was one of the most deadly Uruha in FoR right? Likewise, Raiha in this fic is also not as sweet as what he is in the other chapters. He got his 'dark' side too!
I know he's pretty RUDE and MEAN in this fic. And a lot of you were probably fooled by his sweet demeanor on the previous chappies. I know, it was in the plot actually. ::sigh:: just don't hurt my Raiha and I will never make this story angst alright::sweet sweet creepy smile::
Wow, my story's turning out to be a dramatic one. Are you still happy about this? I AM!!!!Coz even tho its getting tear-shedding ur still here supporting my fic. And becoz of this I have a gift for everyone!!!
Ok so clap your hands everyone!!!Here's a link of Kaiya, Shijo, and Recca's two sons, Akio and Mitsu's pictures:
