Chapter 2: The Black Cat

Tezuka bowed down and walked away from the big gate. He looked at his watch; it was already ten in the evening. It took him a long time before he got out of that house.

Flashback…

"I apologize for my little sister's actions! But please wait a bit more… I'm sure she'll wake up!" Atobe kept on bowing down, and apologizing.

Tezuka looked at the girl who was still lying cold on the sofa. It's a good thing they managed to lift her up. She's too heavy!

End of flashback…

Tezuka sighed. That girl can really sleep.

-----

"Are you awake?" Atobe was looking down at his half-conscious sister.

"I hit my head really hard" Ichigo got up and rubbed her head. Fainting on the granite floor is not good!

Her vision kept on spinning and managed to keep it focused on a piece of paper her brother was holding. "Hey isn't that?"

"You mean this? Here…" Atobe handed the contract to his little sister.

Ichigo read it. Her vision was still not focused, thanks to her fall. She thought that a good rest can cure her big headache. "I'm going to bed"

She stood up and climbed the big stairs. "Good night brother"

Tezuka managed to avoid his fan girls today. Though, when they caught up with him, he won't be able to avoid them for his lack of strength to run. He managed to sleep for only three hours, or less. He spent the whole night thinking. It wasn't normal for an eighteen year-old student to find out that he's engaged to someone; especially if that someone is the sister of your opponent; and the richest man around. The thought still won't register on his mind.

He finally reached his desk. Quickly, he sat down and opened a book; the only thing that would make his drowsiness wear off. Five minutes had passed and his nose was literally, buried on the book. His drowsiness won over him. Finally, he can rest.

Suddenly, his fan girls entered the room. Tezuka quickly got up and fixed himself. It was a good thing his bag covered him; or he would've been seen sleeping.

"Tezuka! You're here!" they all screamed. "We're sorry if we didn't manage to keep up with you yesterday, here are our chocolates!"

Keep up? He was running away from them for goodness sake!

Just then, his other classmates entered the room, followed by their teacher. Saved by the bell.

"Today we have a new student joining us here on" their teacher announced. "Please come in the room" he told the person at the door.

A girl entered the room, long brown hair and blue eyes, which meant only one thing.

"I'm Atobe Ichigo, nice to meet you all!"

Everyone was shocked. They never thought that there would be someone, especially, a girl, who'd look identical to Fuji.

Her blue eyes scanned the room and saw a familiar face. A volt of electricity hit their eyes

YOU?!

Tezuka was shocked also. The girl who caused all those sleeping pills, therapy, television, music, thoughts, books and magazines in one sleepless night was, once again, here to bring bad luck for him.

"Alright Ichigo, why don't you choose between those seats" the teacher pointed at two seats; one was at the right of Tezuka's seat while the other one was at the corner of the room, just at the northeast of Tezuka.

Ichigo sighed. It's like she was not given a choice but to sit near the man.

Without a word, she walked. Their heartbeats were fast. Tezuka's fan girls were chanting, "Please not there". She took a turn, and sat at the seat located at the corner of the room. The girls sighed in relief.

"Ok, now that Ichigo has chosen her seat, let's start the lesson!"

Ichigo looked at the window while Tezuka focused on the discussion. They didn't make any eye contact through out the whole class.

-----

"What are you doing here?" Tezuka's eyes made an evil glare on Ichigo.

"Hey… Isn't the rooftop of the school a bad place to talk? I'm kinda afraid of heights" Ichigo felt small over the brown eyes glaring over her.

"I'm asking what you are doing here?!"

"Hey! Don't yell at me like that! Grandpa told me to change schools! I never knew that you'd be in here!"

Tezuka looked away.

Suddenly, another person went in the rooftop. Dark green hair and brown eyes quickly noticed Tezuka and Ichigo standing in front of each other.

"Ryoma?"

Ryoma's eyes widened as his voice trembled. "Ma- … Ma- … Mada… Mada… Dane!"
