DDS 101

Welcome to another chapter of this fic, and sorry for the long wait. It took me a while to come up with a new chapter in which I'll be showcasing the new faces of the DDS students, and whichsections they are stationed in. It's bee a monmth or so, but now I have a new section to post.

Yeah...well...first Class S, then Class R, and recently Class S. So any students worth mentioning here? Yup, a new one. It's the F-4!

I guess you're wondering why I decided to include them into this list. And they STARTED as villains,but since they're no longer under Isaka's control, and the way they're aiding the DDS students in nailing the Clow Beasts, I decided to have them on board as their influences might give them further access to certain crime scenes and help out Class Q and the rest.

So now here they are...Class F!

Class F

Tsukasa Domyouji

Tsukasa Domyoji is the leader of the F4. At the beginning of the series, he is Tsukushi's biggest enemy, but as the story progresses, he becomes her love interest.

Tsukasa is the heir to Domyoji Enterprises, and his family is extremely rich. They own various houses around the world, including an actual island, a house in Canada, and a house in New York City where his parents live most of the year.

Domyoji spent much of his childhood on his own; his parents were always overseas, and his older sister--as loving as she could be--was always busy studying and eventually married and moved to Los Angeles. His mother, Kaede, is cold to him, and although she loves him, wants to control his life for the sake of preserving the family name. Tsukasa often calls her "the old hag" and "witch," an opinion shared by nearly all of his friends.

Tsukushi's retaliation in the hallway sparks Domyoji's interest, and he is immediately attracted to her daring and strength (the traits he used to admire in his older sister). Despite the harassment he puts her through to keep up appearances, he also constantly tries to do things to impress her - such as trying unsuccessfully to straighten his hair after she tells him that she can't stand his curly-top.

Because he has grown up in luxury and is used to always getting his way, Domyoji is initially not very good at interacting with Tsukushi. He frequently makes fun of her family's poverty and responds angrily when she refuses to do as he says. As time passes, however, he begins to mature and develop a greater understanding of how to interact positively with others.

In Round ZERO: The Four Card Symbols, he is the second F-4 member to be abducted by the mysterious Isaka, via the invoulntary action of Sojiro. He was brainwashed and assigned to be the user of the Suit of Swords and is given the codename of Mask Rider Blade. He spent several months under Isaka's power until he was set free by the Joker Clow Beast who assumes the human identity of Rui Hanazawa. Once free he decided to aid the DDS students in saving his fellow F-4 members and stop Isaka.

Weeks later he and the other DDS students had to fight Sojiro who was still under Isaka's power, but eventually Sojiro broke free and join forces in defeating Isaka and decided to Join DDS.

So far Tsukasa was the only one who know that the REAL Rui is hidden somewhere within Kodoma hills as the Joker Clow Beast stated that he is currently healing from his injuries.

Sojiro Nishikado

Another member of F4, Sojiro is quiet and very interested in the tea ceremony, which is his family's business. For the most part, he and Mimasaka usually work to keep the peace within the group and following Domyoji. He is also one of the two playboys in the F4.

He is the first F-4 member to be abducted by Isaka and BOARD by tricking him into thinking that BOARD is offering him an offer from a government-sponsored digging project, as he was easilly overpowered (see Prelude To Terror fanfic). After being brainwashed, he was assigned to uise the Suit of Coins and was given the codename of Mask Rider Garren at the start of Round ZERO: The Four Card Symbols.

For most of the time Sojiro was the one who mostly released the Dark Clow Cards and turned various digimons into Clow Beasts,and injured a few of the DDS students who got in his way. It was his friend Yuuki Matsuoka who played a role in freeing him from his bondage at the cost of her life.

Realizing this Sojiro fought Isaka twice until he sealed him. Like the rest of the F-4, He enrolled at DDS and became a detective student and is drafted into Class F.

Rui Hanazawa

The violinist Rui Hanazawa, Tsukasa's best friend, becomes Tsukushi's first serious romantic interest. He is generally quiet and cold, but has a soft spot for his close friend and Tsukushi's idol, the model Shizuka Todo, whom he has harbored feelings for since childhood. His character is a bit complex, and his feelings for Tsukushi are in a nearly constant state of flux (varying from annoyance to love), but above all cares about her in a friendly way. In season two of Hana Yori Dango, he grows closer with Makino. They eventually become very close friends and she depends on him as a confidant.

It's commonly mistranslated that he had autism as a child. However one cannot outgrow autism, and the 'when I was a child' is actually a mistranslation 'since I was a child.' He has Asperger's syndrome which explains why Rui holds grudges for many years, and often extracts his revenge after everyone involved has forgotten about it. He prefers sleeping at least 10 hours a day, has trouble socializing and can't recognize facial expressions (example in being trying to draw Tsukasa, he drew an expressionless egg with curly hair). These are all typical autistic personality traits he still holds.

Like in the case of Tsukasa, Rui was duped into coming out of the open and was abducted by Isaka who is working with BOARD, and was captured (see Round ZERO: The Four Card Symbols). However in thw eeks that followed he managed to break free and this resulted in being chased by BOARD agents and was critically injured, at the hands of his pursuers and the passing Caucasus Clow Beast.

He was found by the passing Joker clow Beast who had just sealed the Human Clow Beast, and apparently influenced by the SPIRIT HUMAN card, the Joker Clow Beast took him to a secret location and tended to his wounds. Through the SPIRIT HUMAN card, he learned of what happened and he and RUI struck a deal and the Joker Clow Beast used the SPIRIT HUMAN card to assume the real Rui Hanazawa's identity and aided the F-4 and the DDS students. He even secretly kept this fact from the F-4, not wanting to compromise himself.

As the weeks gone by, the Joker Clow Beast was slowly getting accustomed by the culture and lifestyle of the humans and is studying this world more. The REAL Rui Hanazawa remained in a comatose state while healing.

Akira Mimasaka

Mimasaka is arguably the kindest and most mature member of F4. His family is very powerful in the Japanese underground (in the manga they own a large trading company). He keeps his cool and rarely loses his temper, although when he does, even Domyoji has to run for the hills. Akira is the other of the group's two playboys. His tastes tend towards older women, mainly because of his mother's childish ways. He has two younger sisters who are twins. He is also the one F4 member who like to and only uses cash. It was revealed in a special chapter that he actually had romantic feelings for Tsukushi, as she she sees him as the man that he is, and sincerely appreciates him for it. Tsukushi also makes him realize that since he helps balance F4 out, a supporter if you will, that if he ever leaves them, the F4 will fall apart. However, he keeps his feelings to himself, due to the fact he cherishes his friendship with Tsukasa.

Akira went to Spain at the request of his father to attend a business conference, leaving the F-4 behind, thus he is unaware of what's happening to them during his abscence (see Prelude To Terror and Akira's Adventure fanfics).

Thus when he learned about what happened and headed back to Japan, just in time to meet Isaka who was about to use the Club Buckle on the final F-4 member, but was stopped by Sojiro. Sojiro eventually defeated and sealed Isaka while the Club Buckle went to Kanata Saionji, a 14-year old teenage boy.

Akira and the rest of the F-4 decided to enroll at DDS so that as detective students they can gain acces to crime scenes that even the police couldn't seem to handle. He is the only F-4 member not to have a belt, but he still aid and fight alongside his fellow F-4.

Well…I hope that this chapter was worth the wait. Uh…this isn't the end, as I'm still in the process of finishing Round ZERO.

More are on the way once I introduced more students into Round ZERO.

Be back later...
