Thank you for reading! I hope you'll continue to read my stories!

Reina went through the rest of her class, hungry and still mortified over the incident. Thinking about made her flush with embarrassment all over again. And her question was answered. Yes, this day could get worse.

"Miss Hanazawa? Miss Hanazawa?! MISS HANAZAWA!" the teacher yelled.

Reina snapped out of her thoughts and jumped at the teacher's booming voice. She blushed even more as she heard the other kids snickering. "Y-yes, teacher?"

"If you aren't going to pay attention in class, I suggest you leave!"

"I-I'm sorry," she apologized, humiliation written all over her face.

"You should b-" the teacher started before the classroom door opened. "Who are you?! What are yo- Oh! M-Mr. Domyouji," he laughed nervously. "What brings you to my class today?"

The girls in the classroom giggled with excitement.

"Oh, Kyosuke! You're here!" one girl squealed.

"Kyosuke, honey. Are you here to see me?"

"Oh Kyosuke!"

Reina froze when she heard the names Domyouji and Kyosuke. 'No, it couldn't be. Could it?' she nervously thought as she slowly turned. Her face paled instantly. 'OH MY GOD! It's him! The boy in the garden! It can't be him!' She quickly turned, closing her eyes, praying. 'Please go away, please! Don't let him see me.'

The chatter in the room came to a dead silence. Reina sensing a presence next to her slowly peeked with one eye, then opened both. Her eyes rested on a set of muscular thighs. She slowly looked up to see him standing there looking down at her with an amused smile.

Kyo walked into the last senior classroom hearing the teacher yell at someone. Ignoring the teacher, he scanned the class for his mystery girl. He smiled when his gaze landed on a red sweater. 'Aha! There she is. No mistaking that baggy sweater.' He saw her turn and duck. 'What the…? Is she trying to avoid me?' He walked over to her desk and stood there patiently until she noticed him.

"Yo," he greeted her when she looked up. "Why'd you leave all of a sudden?"

The girl didn't reply. 'Okay…' he thought to himself. 'This girl must hate me.'

"Here's your bento you left behind. Sorry, I kinda ate your lunch." He set the bento down on her desk when she didn't grab it. "It was good." Still no reply. "Well, I'll catch you later." He headed towards the door.

"Don't be too harsh on her, Mr. Sawa. She's probably just hungry, that's all. My fault," he called out to the teacher before leaving the room.

Reina closed her eyes and sighed with relief as she heard him leave. She slowly reopened her eyes to find the shocked faces of the teacher and students starring at her.

The classroom stood frozen for a moment before questions came flying at Reina.

"How do you know him?!"

"You made lunch for him?!"

"There's no way a girl like you know him!" one girl screeched.

"Tell me how you know him!"

Reina, was overwhelmed and uncomfortable by the questions and attention. She jumped up and grabbed her stuff as soon as she heard the bell ring. She ran down the hallway and out the front doors of the school, trying to avoid the probing gazes and questions that followed her. She ran down the driveway of Eitoku and onto the sidewalk, stopping to catch her breathe. She looked back to see if anyone was following her before straightening and heading home.

'Kyosuke Domyouji.' She thought, frowning, looking at the plastic ring on her finger. 'That was him?! I didn't know he attended Eitoku.' She paused, stopping in her tracks. She shook her head before resuming home. 'Well, duh, his dad did, so he would too. But I can't believe after all these years, I finally meet him again.'

10 years ago…

"Please Mother Sachiyo, I'm begging you. Just for a little while. I've already made contact with her father. He's still out of the country, but he'll come get her."

"I'm sorry, Mayune. I don't think its right for you to leave your child here alone. Can't you wait until he comes?"

"NO!" Mayune exploded with anger. 'God how I hate this woman.' The scantily clad woman thought angrily. 'But I need to get rid of this brat.' She subdued her anger before sweetening her tone. "I'm sorry, but Mother Sachiyo, I really must go. Here." She tossed some money onto the desk. "There's about five hundred dollars there. That should be enough to keep her here until her father comes," she said, hurriedly grabbing her things, before Mother Sachiyo could react. "Be good now sweetie," she called out to her daughter as she bumped into Tsukushi and Kyosuke. "Ah! Sorry!"

"Mommy? Where are you going?" the little girl asked in confusion and fear.

"W-Wait a moment, Mayune! Mayune!" Mother Sachiyo called out.

"Who was that, Mother?" Tsukushi asked, rubbing her shoulder. Kyosuke stood next to his mother, playing with plastic ring he found in his sister's car seat.

"That was Mayune. She-" Mother Sachiyo stopped, motioning to the girl clutching her ragged doll, curled in a little ball.

"Oh… ohh… I see," Tsukushi replied with a pitying look. "Is she going to come back?"

"No, I don't think so. She said she contacted the father and left his number for me, but I don't know if this is real or not," Mother Sachiyo said handing Tsukushi the note.

Tsukushi's hand trembled. "I-Is this what she wrote?"

"Yes. Is there something wrong?"

Tsukushi looked at the girl when she looked up. Her eyes widened. 'Oh my God! She's looks almost like Rui!' she thought to herself. 'She has his eyes and his lips!'

Tsukushi cleared her throat and bent down to the little girl.

"Hi, sweetheart. What's your name?"

The little girl looked up and said in a quiet, quivering little voice. "I'm Reina."

Tsukushi felt her heart break seeing sadness and fear in the child's eyes. "Hi, Reina. I'm Tsukushi and this is my little boy, Kyosuke."

"Hi." Kyosuke said looking at the cute little girl.

"Do you want to go to the playground with Kyosuke?" Tsukushi asked.

Reina hesitated looking at the lady and the boy.

"They have a slide and monkey bars, it's not really made of monkeys, of course, and a dome and swings…so you wanna come?" Kyosuke asked shyly.

"Swings?" Reina asked quietly. "I like swings."

"Yeah, they have tons of them," Kyosuke said excitedly. "Come one, let's go." He grabbed her little hand and pulled her to her feet. "Bye, mommy! We'll be back," Kyosuke called out as he dragged Reina out the door.

"Okay, sweetheart, but be careful."

"It still amazes me to see your boy. He's so caring and such a dear to the other children," Mother Sachiyo said fondly.

"He takes after his father."

"And you, child," she said.

Tsukushi smiled a moment before frowning. She glanced at the paper she still had in her hand. The information written on the paper was Rui's personal number.

"Mother Sachiyo… I think we need to get to the bottom of this," she said taking out her cell phone.

Kyosuke chatted with Reina the entire way to the playground.

"My daddy and I built this playground. It was so fun and it was even better when everyone here got to play on it together."

Reina looked at the playground, eyes widening. "You and your daddy built this?" she asked in amazement.

"Uh huh," Kyosuke said proudly. "Come on, I'll show you something."

He dragged her towards the slides. "It's under here," he motioned as they went under the slides. "You see," he said pointing to two hand prints imprinted onto the plastic slide. "This is my daddy's hand and this is my hand." He put his hand up to his imprinted one. "So that way we know that this is a special memory me and daddy made."

Reina frowned. "I don't know who my daddy is."

"You don't?" he asked amazed. "How come?"

"I don't know," she replied with a frown. "I have lots of uncles though."

"I have three favorite uncles too. But my daddy is my favorite, because he's big and strong and he can protect me."

A tear fell from Reina's eye as her lip started trembling. She hid her face in her ragged doll.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Kyosuke asked, panicking. "Don't cry. What did I do?" He shook her shoulder. "Why are you crying?"

She mumbled something he couldn't make out.

"What? I can't hear you."

She mumbled again. "Reina, I can't hear you." He put his hands on cheeks and forced her to look at him. "What did you say?"

She looked at him through tear brimmed eyes and said in a wobbly voice, "I said, I don't have a daddy to protect me."

Kyosuke took out the handkerchief that his dad always made him carry and wiped her tears. "That's okay if you don't have a daddy. I can protect you. I have a big house with lots of toys and a sister too, but she just cries a lot." He patted her on the head. "Don't cry. You can come stay at my house."

Reina looked up at him with a sad face. "But I can't. Then I'll be your auntie and in a couple of days I'll have to leave."

"Auntie?"

"Yeah. I have uncles who come live with us for a couple of days, then they leave and never come back," she said sadly.

"Oh… well how can we get you to stay forever and ever?" Kyosuke frowned, thinking.

"I don't know." They fell silent, thinking of ways she can stay.

"Aha! I know. My mommy and daddy stays together forever because they're married! We can get married and then you won't ever have to leave," Kyosuke announced happily at his idea.

"Married? What's that?" Reina questioned. She didn't know what married means, because her mother wasn't exactly an example.

"It's when two people fall in love and they get married. Then they live happily ever after in a big house and have a boy and a girl," he explained, using his own family to define it.

"What's love?" she asked confused.

He sighed with a disgusted look on his face, "It's sorta gross. It's when two people like to be with each other all the time and they whisper in each other's ear and laugh, then they hold hands and kiss a lot."

"Oh," she replied, not too sure of what he's talking about. "But we don't love each other, so we can't get married," she wailed.

"Uh huh! See we already held hands," he said. He bent forward to whisper in her ear. "Now we have to laugh," he whispered before laughing. She forced a laugh.

He took a deep breathe. "Okay, now we have to kiss."

"We do?" she said frowning.

"Yes, that's what my mommy and daddy does."

"Um, okay."

Kyosuke held his breath as he leaned forward to kiss her quickly. "Okay. Now we're in love."

"Okay. So what happens next?" she questioned.

"Um… well we can't get married now. We have to be grown ups for that, but you can live with us now, because we'll get married when we grow up," he said, feeling proud he figured a way for her to stay. "You'll be my fee-on-say."

"What's that?"

"It's when two people are going to get married, but they wait and the girl gets a big ring on her finger. Well that's what my Auntie Tsubaki did."

"Okay," Reina simply replied, putting her trust in the little boy.

"Okay, since you're my fee-on-say, I'm supposed to do things with you."

"Like what?"

"I don't know. Um… want to go on the swings? I'll push you."

"Okay," Reina said cheerily. They walked over to the swings, hand in hand, happily skipping. Kyosuke pushed her as she happily swung her legs back and forth on the swing.

"Kyosuke. Reina," Tsukushi called out to them as she and Mother Sachiyo walked towards them. "We have to go home now."

"Okay," they both said. Kyosuke held his mom's hand on one side and Reina's on the other and they started walking.

"Reina, come here, child. You cannot go with them," Mother Sachiyo said to her.

"But, I'm Kyosuke's fee-on-say. I can go home with them now," she replied happily.

"Fiancee?"

"Fiancee?!" Tsukushi exclaimed with surprise.

"Yes. We're gonna get married, so she doesn't have to stay here mommy. She can live with us at our house," Kyosuke said smiling.

"Honey… sweetheart…," Tsukushi started, unsure of how she was going to explain the situation to them. "She can't go with us."

Reina's lips started trembling. "Why not?" Kyosuke demanded.

"Well, because her daddy's on his way to pick her up tomorrow."

"He can't take her, because she's my fee-on-say. Just like Auntie Tsubaki and her fee-on-say," he pouted. "Mommy, I want her to stay with us. She doesn't have a home."

"She can stay here, child," Mother Sachiyo said.

"NO! She has to go with us, because she's my fee-on-say! We're going to get married when we grow up!" Kyosuke demanded, tears springing to his eyes.

Tsukushi looked at her son's teary eyes and then over to Reina, seeing hope and despair in the little girl's eyes. She knew she was stuck. "Well…," she said as she turned to Mother Sachiyo. "I know its against the rules, but I do know her father, and I'm sure it'll be fine if she stayed with us. I'll let Rui know she's at my house."

Mother Sachiyo hesitated.

"Please Mother Sachiyo? I promise I'll be good forever," Kyosuke begged, giving her the sad puppy eye look.

Mother Sachiyo gave a sigh of defeat. "That'll be fine. Her father will be picking her up tomorrow, so make sure they come by here when they leave," she said to Tsukushi.

"I will, Mother. Thank you."

"Yay! We're going home, Reina!" he cheered.

Reina gave a sigh of relief as Tsukushi held her hand and walked them to the car. Kyosuke talked to her the entire way home, telling her about all the fun they're going to have and about all the toys he had at home. When they got home the children ran up to Kyosuke's room and started to play. Tsukushi dug out her cell phone and called Rui to tell him where his daughter was.

"Rui?" Tsukushi said, talking on her phone. "She's here with me at home... I know... So you'll be here tomorrow then? Alright... Your welcome, Rui." She hung up her cell, pausing for a moment to think. She gasped as two strong, muscled arms wrapped around her.

"Tsukasa, you're home early," she sighed happily as he nuzzled her neck.

"Mmm… I couldn't wait to see you, so I left," he said as he tilted her head to the side for a kiss. Tsukushi moaned.

"You left early? Didn't you have a meeting with some overseas CEOs?" she asked, unable to concentrate.

"Mm hmm… but I couldn't wait to see you," he muttered, pulling her against his body, deepening the kiss.

"Stop. I. Have. To. Tell you something," she said in between kisses.

"What?" he replied as he rained kisses on her face and neck.

"Mmmm…. Rui's daughter is staying here."

Tsukasa froze, shaking his head. "I'm sorry, I thought you just said Rui's daughter is here."

"I did."

Tsukasa looked down at his wife. "When did he have a daughter? Did I miss something?" he asked confused.

"Apparently he did. Come on, let's go into the living room. I'll tell you in there," she said, dragging her husband's hand.

Later that night…

"Goodnight Reina. Sleep tight," Tsukushi said to her, tucking the little girl in.

"Goodnight, Reina. If you need anything, we're across the hall, alright?" Tsukasa said, patting the girl on the head.

"Okay. Goodnight Uncle Tsukasa and Auntie Tsukushi," she said shyly.

When Tsukushi and Tsukasa left, the little girl sat up and looked around. The big room was decorated in gold and and cream colors, an unfamiliar sight compared to the drab, broken down one bedroom apartment she shared with her mother. 'Where's my mommy? I want to go home. I'm scared,' she thought as she laid back down, curling into a tight ball. She was so miserable she started crying, not hearing the door creak open or click shut, nor seeing the little lamp swaying in the dark as it came towards her.

"Reina? What's wrong?" Kyosuke whispered, making her jump.

"Kyo?" she whimpered. "I'm scared."

"Of what?" he asked worriedly.

"I don't know. I don't want to be alone."

"Want me to stay with you?" he asked.

Reina nodded.

"Okay, then scoot over."

Reina did as she was told and moved over to make room for Kyosuke. He quickly climbed up the large bed and tucked himself under the blankets with her.

"Don't be scared, Reina. I'm here with you now," he said as he held her hand.

"I'm not scared when you're here Kyo, but when you aren't I get really scared that someone's going to take me away," she wailed, burying her face into his shoulder.

"I won't let nobody take you away. I'm strong like my daddy. And he says that I have to be strong for the girl that I love. So I won't let nobody take you, okay?" he said, trying to comfort Reina.

She nodded, still sniffing.

"Oh yeah. I forgot. This is what I was going to give you," he said as he reached into his pajama pocket. He pulled out the plastic ring he was playing with earlier and slipped it on her ring finger. "See? Now you're just like Auntie Tsubaki. You're my fee-on-say."

"It's too big, Kyo."

"Well, just wear it anyways and don't lose it or you can't be my fee-on-say."

"Okay," she said, making a fist so it wouldn't slip off.

Kyo yawned. "Go to sleep. I'll take you to my fort outside so we can play."

"Okay," she yawned, worn out from crying.

The two children were found the next morning holding hands, still asleep next to each other.

A week later…

"May we be excused now mommy?" Kyosuke asked impatiently, shoving the last bit of his breakfast into his mouth.

"I suppose, after you finish your juice," Tsukushi said, still feeding her 4 year old daughter, Megumi.

"Ma'am? Mr. Hanazawa has arrived. He's in the living room," the maid told Tsukushi.

"What? Already?" Tsukushi said, looking over to Reina.

"Can we go now, mommy? I'm done and Reina's done too," he announced loudly over the noise his younger sibling was making.

"Not now, sweetie. Come with me to the living room. You too, Reina," she said letting the maid finish feeding Megumi.

The children trailed after her as she led them to the living room where Rui was. Rui stood up smiling as he saw Tsukushi. 'She still looks beautiful after all these years,' he thought to himself.

"Hello, Rui," Tsukushi said greeting him with a hug.

"Hey, Tsukushi," he said warmly.

"Uncle Rui!" Kyosuke yelled, running into his arms for a hug.

"Hey squirt," he smiled fondly at Kyosuke.

"Uncle Rui, there's someone I want you to meet," he said squirming out of Rui's grasp. He grabbed Reina's hand and led her to Rui. "This is my fee-on-say, Reina."

Rui breathe caught in his throat. 'My… daughter.'

Tsukushi cleared her throat. "Rui, I'd like you to meet… Reina… your daughter."

"Daughter?" Kyosuke asked surprised. "Then that means you're Reina's daddy?"

Rui was unable to utter a word as he continued to stare at his daughter. He cleared his throat. "Yes, I'm her… father."

"NO!" Reina screamed. "No, you're not! You're not! I don't want to go with you!"

Rui, Tsukushi, and Kyosuke looked at her with shock.

"Honey…" Tsukushi started.

"I am your father, Reina," Rui replied with a frown, not sure what to do.

"NO! NO! NO!" she yelled covering her ears. "I don't want to go with you! Not ever!"

"Reina, please…"

"Where's she going, mommy? She lives here now," Kyosuke questioned Tsukushi.

"Sweetheart, she's going to be with her daddy."

"Why?" Kyosuke asked frowning.

"Because that's where she belongs. With her daddy, just like how you belong with me and your daddy," she tried to explain.

"Tsukushi… I think we should go… thanks for keeping her until I got here."

"Rui… I don't think-" Tsukushi started as the little girl clung onto her leg.

"No, I think we need to sort this out, before…," he sighed, running a finger through his hair. "I just need to sort things out and I… need to get to know my daughter."

Tsukushi hesitated. "I… you're right… just… take care of her alright? She's been through enough already."

"Yeah, I know," he said as he pried the crying little girl away from Tsukushi trying to avoid the kicking and punching.

"Mommy, where's Uncle Rui taking her? Uncle Rui, you can't take her, she lives here with me now," he yelled through all the noise.

"I'm sorry Kyosuke, but she needs to come with me. You can come visit her, alright, squirt?" he said patting Kyo's head.

Kyosuke shoved Rui's hand away from his head. "No! You put her down right now, Uncle Rui. I won't let you take her! You're mean! Don't take her!" he yelled, tears springing into his eyes.

Rui looked helplessly over to Tsukushi. "Kyosuke Takeru Domyouji, you come here right this instant and let Uncle Rui take her home," she demanded.

"NO! He can't take her! I won't let him!" he cried as he started pounding on Rui's lower back.

Tsukushi grabbed her son as Rui started leaving with a screaming and crying Reina.

"Kyo! Help me, Kyo! Don't let him take me!" Reina cried out helplessly.

"Reina!"

"Kyo!"

"REINA! I promise I'll come get you! I promise!" he cried out, tears rolling down his cheeks as he watched her leave.

"Kyosuke, honey, please stop," Tsukushi whispered, trying to calm her son down. She rocked him gently, trying to soothe him. "We'll go visit her and you can see her anytime you want. Don't cry sweetheart."

Kyosuke buried his face in Tsukushi's shirt and cried, heart breaking over losing his first love.

Reina cried quietly to herself in the corner of the car holding onto the plastic ring. Rui sighed, not knowing what to do. She wouldn't speak to him. He signaled the driver to take him to the airport.

"Don't cry Reina. It's going to be okay. We're going to visit Kyosuke and Auntie Tsukushi, but right now we're going to go visit… daddy's… mommy, your grandma, in the United States, alright?" he said, trying to sound cheery. Reina didn't reply nor did she stop crying. Rui sighed in defeat. Over the next few months, Reina was still unresponsive. Speaking only when spoken to, not playing, not really eating, not letting anyone in her tiny little heart. Especially not Rui. She regarded him as the man who tore her away from her best friend and first love. Rui grew more distant as the years pass. Not that he didn't love her… he just didn't know what to say or do. He figured she'd probably be more happy if he just left her alone… so that's what he did…

Okay, leave a review ppl, so I know what to write!
