Disclaimer: I don't own Initial D; it is one of my favorite comics. I hope that my fanfic won't offend any Initial D's fans. I have created a female Takumi instead under the name of Tatsuki; I hope you will like them. This is a fanfic. All characters except for Initial D's characters are all imaginary characters. Most of the details are fictional and any similarities are coincidence.

Tatsuki met with Cora, her assistant and executive director of Takato Medical Group, after landing at the airport in the morning. Cora drove her boss to her house. Tatsuki told the older lady that she would start working next month. Cora left after helping her with the luggage. Tatsuki was smiling brightly at the empty house. She was finally moved into this house for good. The house that she was going to spend her real married life with the person she loved. She kept her luggage and had a bath. She knew that Ryosuke was still working at the hospital. She was wearing a lilac midi dress. She had been busy tidying up the house and preparing meal for Ryosuke.

Ryosuke walked out of the hospital with a female colleague after an overtime shift. He said goodbye to his colleague politely before rode off on his bicycle. He was getting more popular among the staffs at the hospital. However, he always kept a distance from the female colleagues. He began to wore his wedding ring to indicate that he was married. He had a strong feeling of going home early today.

Tatsuki was standing behind the garage, trying to surprise her husband. Ryosuke unmounted his bicycle and was keeping it in the garage. He did not notice someone behind the door when he entered. Tatsuki quietly sneaked behind Ryosuke with a mischievous grin. She wrapped her arms around him from behind. Ryosuke froze for a minute with his heart skipped a beat when he realized that his love was back. Tatsuki turned him around to face her. She pressed her lips against his.

"I'm back and... welcome home, Ryo," Tatsuki smiled brightly as she looked up at her husband.

"Hmmm... I'm home, Tsuki," he stumbled with his eyes fixed on her.

"You must be hungry so do you want to eat first or shower first?" Tatsuki asked.

"Can I eat you first?" Ryosuke whispered his question.

Tatsuki rolled her eyes at his question. She led him to their bedroom and pushed him into the bathroom. She then went to set the table for their lunch. Ryosuke came down in t-shirt and Bermuda after half an hour. He put Tatsuki on his lap as they had their lunch. It was the longest lunch they had ever had. His tiredness had vanished when he saw his wife. Ryosuke then went out to buy something. Tatsuki did not know why he was in such a hurry. She just continued cleaning the plates and kitchen while he was away. She puzzled when she saw her husband came home after a short while and paced up the stairs. Ryosuke had another shower before he put his purchase in the side table drawer. He stopped and looked at the king-size bed with petals scattered on it. He smiled and came down to his wife. They had a long conversation in the backyard garden patio. Tatsuki placed his head on her lap, urging him to take a nap. Ryosuke dozed off in no time.

Both Ryosuke and Tatsuki returned to their bedroom after dinner. Ryosuke had a shower and come out in just a pajama pants. Tatsuki was still deciding which nightgown she wanted to wear. She felt very nervous when she thought of their first night. Ryosuke walked over and chose a black lace nightie for her. He teased her if she wanted his special service. Tatsuki quickly ran into the bathroom. It took her more than an hour to get out of the bathroom. Ryosuke was chuckling at her shyness as she was still applying her skincare routine. Tatsuki calmed herself down and slowly walked to the bed. She popped a pill into her mouth before she sat down next to Ryosuke.

Ryosuke looked at his wife as he held her hand. She was so attractive in that little nightie. It was hardly covered her well-toned body. He swallowed his saliva while he scrutinized her from head to toe, nervously as if he was a teenager. Tatsuki felt the heat rising within her as she met his heated gazes. She had forgotten how she had seduced him months ago. Ryosuke's gazes were darkened by her blushing face and ears. He grabbed her waist and pulled her onto his lap. He started with a gentle kiss and increased the intensity as they deepened their kisses. He wanted their first night to be a memorable experience for her. Tatsuki's mind went blank soon after the kiss.

Ryosuke looked down at his beloved wife on the bed. He applied the ointment before slipped on a new nightgown for her. He smiled softly at her beautiful sleeping face. He kept everything, turned off the lights and slipped himself behind her, pulling her into his arms before he slept.

Tatsuki woke up early in the morning, feeling a little sore. She felt as if she was crashed by something. She looked down at the arm on her waist, knowing whose hand was there. She blushed furiously when she recalled their unison last night. She silently slipped out of bed for a shower. Ryosuke got up as soon as she left the bed. He slumped back to sleep as it was too early to get up. Tatsuki felt a bit refreshed after a long shower but she was still feeling tired. She dressed up in a pastel maxi dress. She went to the kitchen to prepare meals for themselves. She made Chinese congee, side dishes and some sandwiches for Kane. She continued to make bento lunch for Kane and Ryosuke.

Tatsuki sat down on the bed, waking her husband up. Ryosuke pulled her down and kissed her passionately. Tatsuki pushed him away after a long moment.

"You'll be late if you don't get up now," Tatsuki said with a smile.

"I don't feel like going to work today," he replied as he laced his kisses on her neck.

"I'm very hungry right now," she said, trying to get his senses back.

"Oh! You can have me then," he teased her.

Tatsuki turned her face away and got out of the bed when she saw his desire gaze. Ryosuke chuckled at her timidity and walked into the bathroom. Tatsuki chose a white shirt and navy-blue pants for him. She helped him dressed up with her eyes focused on the hickey on his neck.

"Just leave it," Ryosuke told her as he grabbed her hand.

"But..." her words were sealed by his kiss.

"You're getting more gorgeous now. And I... want you now, can I?" Ryosuke said softly before he kissed her forcefully.

Tatsuki came into her senses when she was almost out of breath from his dominant kiss. She looked up at him with a dazed look.

"Can we continue tonight?" Tatsuki asked as she did not want him to skip work.

Ryosuke nodded and adjusted her dress before they walked downstairs. He sat down at the bar counter where his wife was busy setting up breakfast for him. She put a cup of coffee in front of him before she sat down next to him. Tatsuki gave him two lunch bags and sent him off at the door. Ryosuke rode his bike down the street. Tatsuki went back to the house, cleaned up the kitchen. She then changed the bedsheets, doing laundry and cleaning up their bedroom. The contracted housekeeper came late morning and met with her female house owner for the first time.

Ryosuke walked into the staff room in a bright mood this morning. He put his bag and lunch bag on his table. He then grabbed the other lunch bag and knocked on his mentor's door. Kane looked up at his student with a smile when he noticed his beaming face. He immediately knew why Ryosuke was so happy today. He took out his breakfast and started eating.

"Hmmm... she's finally back, yeah?" Kane asked teasingly.

Ryosuke nodded as his ears turned red with shyness. Kane smirked at his student's expression and noticed a love mark on his neck.

"So, you two had..." Kane said before he laughed at Ryosuke's reaction.

Ryosuke quickly got out of Kane's office before his mentor could ask any further questions. He sat at his desk, getting ready for today's work. He looked at his phone and answered.

"Miss me already?... ok, I'll ask him later... you'd better get some sleep... love you," Ryosuke smiled as he spoke.

Kane called Ryosuke to get to work. Ryosuke told him that Tatsuki invited him over for dinner today. Kane nodded and their busy day began. It was not uncommon sight for the staff to see their top surgeon having meal with his student. However, the bento boxes were something unusual.

Tatsuki spent the whole afternoon in bed. She felt more recharged after a few hours of sleep. She looked at the clock. It was 5pm and Ryosuke was not home yet. He was working overtime again. She prepared dinner while waiting.

Kane and Ryosuke were on their way home after they finished their emergency surgery. Kane knew how anxious Ryosuke was when his wife was waiting at home. Kane told Ryosuke that he would be there around seven. Ryosuke hurriedly walked into his house. He met Tatsuki in the kitchen as she was tasting the soup.

"Welcome home, Ryo," Tatsuki greeted him with a smile.

"I'm home," he said with his arms around her waist.

Tatsuki put a spoon in front of him, asking him to taste. Ryosuke sipped and nodded. He put the spoon in the sink before he pulled her over to the sink counter. He kissed her repeatedly before withdrew. Tatsuki asked him to get changed while she set the table. Kane came exactly at seven o'clock. He was happy to see both of his friends together. Tatsuki updated him on the progress of Takato Medical Group. Kane knew that his time in Boston was getting shorter than expected. Tatsuki suggested that they spent their winter break in Japan. Kane and Ryosuke agreed with her suggestion. He made a move shortly after dinner, leaving the two lovey-dovey couple to themselves.

Kane looked up the sky as he stood in front of his house. He was quite envious of Ryosuke and Tatsuki. He had never felt so lonely before. He wondered if he would ever find one. He shook his head, clearing his wandering head before he stepped into his house.

Ryosuke scooped his wife up from the kitchen, right after she finished cleaning. He carried her into their bedroom without hesitation. He could not wait to get started with their night activity.

Tatsuki slowly opened her eyes at four o'clock in the morning. It was a habit that she could not kick off.

"There's no delivery, go back to sleep, Tsuki," Ryosuke murmured into her ear.

Ryosuke pulled her back into his arms as she snuggled herself up too. She fell back asleep right after that. She felt so tired that she did not want to wake up. They were sleeping until 8am. Ryosuke got up and checked on his wife. He was very contented with his current married life especially when Tatsuki finally moved in together. He gave her a kiss before he went to the gym on the third floor. Tatsuki woke up shortly after she felt a loss of his warmth. She sat up with tints of tiredness and the sore in her abdomen. She took a pill to revive her energy before she changed into workout clothes. She joined her husband in the gym. She chose to stay at the corner doing her stretches and Pilate. Ryosuke slowly walked over to his wife who was staring at him. He was smiling at the lights in her eyes. Tatsuki found her heart skipped a beat when she saw his bare upper body, especially the well-toned eight pieces of abdominal muscle.

"Like what you see?" Ryosuke asked with a grin.

Tatsuki nodded with her fingers ran down his sweaty abdomen muscles unconsciously. Ryosuke stayed still for a period of time, allowing her to admire his body. He knew how much she was obsessed with certain physical body. She was very fond of lean and muscular body type. He might look tall and thin with clothes on but his lean and toned body attracted her attention. He suddenly pulled her into his arms, causing her to grasp. He was scrutinizing her body as well. He knew how attractive and beautiful his wife was, especially when she was in his bed. She had transformed from a girl to a woman, a very sexually appealing woman. Tatsuki saw his eyes were getting darker, knowing what he wanted. She took a step back from him but it was too late. Ryosuke had already got hold of her and he started his kissing.

Ryosuke carried his wife back to their bedroom. Tatsuki was too exhausted by his demands. She found her legs were like jelly and could barely move. Ryosuke attended to her, dressing her up in a white puffed sleeve knee length dress. Tatsuki sat at the dressing table like a porcelain doll while he dried her long hair. She watched her husband put on his white shirt and beige pants, berated herself of how weak she was. Ryosuke was beaming and energetic after the morning activities. He then scooped her up in his arms and brought her downstairs. He put her on the high stool at the bar counter. She just watched him prepare Japanese omelet rolls or Tamagoyaki for themselves. With her verbal instructions, he managed to make what looked like a decent meal today. Tatsuki almost bit her tongue at the first bite of the salted Tamagoyaki. She chewed slowly before swallowing it. She smiled at her husband brightly and gave her positive compliments. She told herself that this omelet roll should go with a lot of rice. She laughed out loud at Ryosuke's facial expression when he tried the dish.

"How can you? It's so salty," Ryosuke questioned her.

"It's the first time you cooked something for me. I just want to give you some encouragement," she replied.

"Let's go out for lunch and a date," he suggested as he threw the omelet away and cleaned up.

Tatsuki felt so bad for wasting food, but she also worried about her kidneys. They then left their house in the white NSX. Ryosuke brought her to a high-end Japanese restaurant in Boston. He was lucky enough to be able to get a reservation at the last minute. They walked arm in arm into the restaurant. This was their first date in two years. He just did an impromptu date before his night shift later. They then spent a few hours in Museum of Fine Arts before they had a casual dinner at an Italian restaurant. He then drove to Massachusetts Hospital where he worked. They got out of the sports car with Tatsuki standing next to the driver door. They kissed goodbye before she watched him walked into the hospital. The white NSX slowly drove off after he disappeared from her sight.

Kane walked beside his student who was obviously on his cloud nine. He and many of the staff saw what happened in the car park earlier. He even teased Ryosuke that he had broken many ladies' hearts around here. Ryosuke shrugged his shoulders and showed his wedding ring to his mentor.

It had been more than a week since they started living together as husband and wife. Tatsuki barely got out of bed every time Ryosuke was home. He had drained all her energy every day. She never expected that he had such a high demand. However, she could never resist him and she was drowned by his desire. It had been a week now and she had missed her work for two days. Cora was anxiously looking for her for the past two days. Tatsuki had no choice but to postpone to next week.

Ryosuke came home after midnight and went straight to the bedroom. His wife was sounding asleep in bed. He slipped behind her after a shower. He could not stop loving to her. He was addicted to her body, her scent and everything of her. Tonight, Tatsuki was resisted as she needed to talk to him. She could not allow him to affect her work.

Ryosuke stopped and sat on the bed, aware of her anger at this moment. He knew that he had interrupted her work schedule. Tatsuki sat across him with a long face. She could not allow him to continue without a conversation. She still had so much responsibility on her shoulders, especially when she had took over her family business from her father. She could not screw up any of her work. He held her hand as he listened to her words. She understood his demands as both of them were still young. They came to terms on their intimacy activities.

Ryosuke got up early in the morning when he felt the heat from his wife's body. Her face was red. He anxiously cooled her down with a damp towel. He put on a new cotton pajama set for her. He called Haruka for help when he got to go to work. Haruka gave Ryosuke a furious glare when she saw her friend's condition. She went back home to get the medicine for Tatsuki. Haruka and Asahi were both busy with their studies for the past week so they did not drop by here. She gave the feverish girl a fever and inflammation medicine.

Ryosuke walked into the staff room with depressed eyes. He was worried about Tatsuki. Kane reminded his student that he must separate work and personal life. Ryosuke was focused at work. He told his mentor that Tatsuki was sick. Kane looked at Ryosuke angrily. He gave his student a serious lecture on his behavior and warned him not to repeat it again. He added that she should be fine soon as Haruka knew what medicine she should gave to Tatsuki. Kane dropped by after work. Tatsuki was feeling better and was sitting on a couch watching television. Haruka was preparing dinner for them. Tatsuki knew why she was sick after she checked herself. She realized how cunning her husband was last night. However, she was also shared the responsibility as she allowed him to go that far. They were too carried away. She gave herself a deep thought about their relationship. There must be a balance in whatever they did.

Asahi sat down next to Tatsuki, checking on her. He distracted her from her thoughts with his drawing of some medical equipment designs. Tatsuki looked through them thoroughly, amending parts of them. Kane and Ryosuke were surprised to see the unwell girl discussing her work with Asahi.

"I'm fine now. The fever has subsided," she told the two older men.

"Why don't you get more rest? You still look quite restless and tired," Kane suggested.

"It won't take long," she replied and turned back to Asahi.

Ryosuke opened the door for their next guest, Cora. Cora walked in with a bag of necessary medicines as instructed by her bosses. Kane greeted the newcomer as she put the items on the coffee table. Cora was an American-Chinese woman. She was a petite woman with only 1.60m in height and XS size. She had a baby face with dimples which made her looked a few younger than her actual age. Tatsuki noticed her Sempai's eyes on her assistant, as she checked the medicines on the table. There was a hint of unusual interest from the surgeon. Ryosuke asked his wife what were the medicines on the table. He only recognized the healing ointment. Tatsuki explained each of the medicines to him before she kept them in the medicine box.

Tatsuki asked Cora to stay for dinner together. Cora nodded and went into the kitchen to help Haruka. She was counting the number of times Kane looked at her assistant.

"You'd better get changed, Ryo. Dinner will be ready soon," she told her husband.

Ryosuke obediently walked up to his room. Cora was setting up the table which earned another look from the famous surgeon.

"She's still single and a virgin, y'know!" Tatsuki told Kane as his eyes were on the petite woman at the dining table.

Tatsuki quickly leaned back on her couch before Kane spilled his drink on her face. Kane was choking as he gave Tatsuki an annoyed glare. Tatsuki was smiling teasingly at him.

"You're a little too obvious today. You've been looking at her for the twelve times tonight," Tatsuki teased.

"You!" Kane muttered under his breath.

"Sempai, you can look for me anytime if you need any help. I'm more than happy to help you courting her," she added.

Kane got up and walked out of the room. He stood in the garden, trying to calm down. Tatsuki was too sharp to notice the slight change that he did not even notice it himself. At the same time, she was blunt enough to point out in front of him. This was not the first time he met Cora. They knew each other through their work for a few years. She was the coordinator for his project with Tatsuki. However, he did not know when things changed. He admitted that he began to attract to the woman. She was his type. He liked small size women with dimples. It was really hard to find a cute woman with some Asian looks. Her professionalism and confidence at work were a plus for his liking. He sighed at his discovery and regained his composure before walked back into the dining room. It seemed that everyone was prearranged the seat tonight. Cora ended up sitting next to Kane. Tatsuki occasionally asked Cora to help Kane with his favorite dishes.

"Any urgent issues that I need to address?" Tatsuki asked her assistant suddenly toward the end of the dinner.

"No, boss. There are updates on the projects," Cora replied.

"Bring it tomorrow. I'll have a look," Tatsuki said.

"Yes, boss," Cora nodded and began to clear the table.

"You should have more rest," Ryosuke said with concern.

"I'm okay now. And we need to talk later," she said with a serious gaze at her husband.

"Good luck, Ryosuke," Kane whispered as he tapped his student's shoulder.

Tatsuki was leaning against the headboard as she read a book. Ryosuke got out of the bathroom in his pajamas. He knew that she was pissed off this time. Tatsuki looked at him before she commented on his slyness with last night's episode. He apologized and promised that he would never do it again. Tatsuki began her talk with work-life balance. She told him that she was willing to fulfill his demands but it must not affect her works. Ryosuke nodded in agreement, as he did put some thoughts into this matter too. He knew how much his wife was willing to sacrifice to make him happy. After a long talk, he tucked her into the bed and they both fell asleep.

Tatsuki woke up the next morning, refreshed. She began her day with some workout routine and breakfast preparations. Then, she had a shower. Ryosuke joined her in the gym and was now sitting down at the bar counter, reading newspaper. Tatsuki came down in a pastel yellow satin camisole, a white linen shirt and a white wide-legged pants. They had breakfast together before Tatsuki sent him to work in the Mercedes Benz SL500. It was an autumn breezy morning; the white convertible roadster was speeding down the street towards Massachusetts Hospital. She stopped at a parking spot, opposite of the entrance.

"Give me a call when you're done," Tatsuki said and gave him a kiss.

Ryosuke nodded and claimed her lips in a passionate way. Tatsuki was blushing when he withdrew from her. She passed him the lunch bags.

"Drive safely home, love," he said and strolled away towards the hospital.

Tatsuki drove off after Ryosuke disappeared from her sight. She was heading towards her office in downtown Boston. She met with Cora and began their discussion. Two young ladies were at a cafe having their lunch.

Kane and Ryosuke just finished a surgical operation and they were now sitting at a corner of cafeteria. They looked at the three-layer bento boxes that Tatsuki prepared for them. Kane was happy as he missed home cook food for years. With Tatsuki around, most of his meals were taken care of. Ryosuke gave Tatsuki a call to inform her that he had to work overtime today. Both men then returned to the emergency department.

Tatsuki and Cora went to supermarket after work and bought some groceries home. Tatsuki began to prepare dinner and supper. She even baked cupcakes and cookies with Cora helped to pack them in boxes. She wanted to give both men a surprise so she drove to the hospital in evening. Both ladies carried bags of food into the hospital lobby. Tatsuki gave her husband a text message saying that she was waiting at the cafeteria. Ryosuke looked at the vibrating phone in his white gown as he examined the patient. Kane was standing next to his student, observing how he examined his patient. They were waiting for the next shift doctors to come and relieve them.

Ryosuke took out his phone as soon as he walked out of the emergency room. He turned to Kane before both of them paced toward the cafeteria. He stopped at the table by the window where there were two attractive ladies sitting. Kane stopped his feet as soon as he saw the petite woman. Ever since he noticed his attention on her, he felt a bit awkward whenever he saw her. Both Kane and Ryosuke did not notice that many of the staffs were looking at the two ladies. Tatsuki got up and wrapped her arms around him before she kissed him. Cora was getting used to her boss's behavior when Ryosuke was around. She turned other way, avoiding seeing their lovey-dovey act. Cora took out their dinner and spread them on the table once everyone sat down. Kane looked away from the loving couple. He slowly initiated a conversation with Cora.

"Can I visit your office?" Tatsuki asked Ryosuke.

Ryosuke nodded as he saw two bags of snacks she prepared. Kane and Ryosuke carried the bags of snacks while leading them to their office. There were still many colleagues around. Tatsuki personally distributed the snack boxes to his colleagues. Ryosuke introduced his wife to them. Cora brought two jars of cookies to the nurse office outside. She then put a small jar of cookies in Kane office. Many staffs were quite surprised by the two beautiful and friendly Asian ladies, especially with Tatsuki. The female staffs never thought that Ryosuke was already married. They thought that he was just wearing a ring to keep them a distance. As the two men were knocking off soon, Tatsuki asked Kane to send her assistant home. Kane gave her a fierce glare before he led Cora out of his office.

"He might get angry," Ryosuke said in his adoring tone.

"He needs a nudge," she smiled.

They then walked hand in hand to the car. Ryosuke drove off immediately. He carried his wife to the bathroom room where he prepared a warm bath for her. He dressed her in a white cotton nightgown while he was in his shirt pajamas. They sat at the bar counter, having supper.

Kane drove Cora to her condo in downtown Boston. They were very quiet during the ride. Kane walked her to the lobby, as he wanted to make sure that she safely home.

"Dr. Kou, do you want to go up for a drink?" Cora asked when she wanted to thank him for sending her home.

Kane was very delighted but still composed himself. He asked if it was too troublesome for her. He eventually agreed and followed her up to her unit at the top floor. Cora placed his slippers for him before she led him into the living room. He sat down on the two seaters sofa. Cora put a glass of water and a cup of cappuccino on the coffee table. Kane looked around the place, impressed with how clean and tidy it was. They had a brief chat before he left after finished the drink. He noted her unit number and happily walked to his car.

Tatsuki was very happy with her current life with Ryosuke. He was still very demanding of her but it was in a more controlled manner. He was busy with his hospital work and studies. While Tatsuki was working with the help of her executive team, their friends came over a few times a week and they were having a great time. Bunta arrived one month later and was staying next to their house. Tatsuki spent more time with her father since then. It was another night that both Ryosuke and Tatsuki were having dinner at Bunta's house. He could see how happy his daughter was.

Tatsuki walked out of the bathroom in a white Victorian nightgown. She looked at Ryosuke who was leaning on the headboard. He was topless with just a pair of silk pants, showing off his abdomen muscles. Tatsuki tried to ignore him as she sat down on the bed. They had some chats before they went to bed.

As the young Takahashi couple were enjoying their days together, Dr. Kane Kou had a new plan for his life. Seeing his childhood friend found the perfect partner, he decided to make his first move on the petite lady. He sent a small gift to her condo a month after his sent home.

Cora looked at the small box in her hand, wondering who was the sender. She read the small card, telling her whom it was from. She did not think much about it. The white gold necklace with a cute pendant of her liking was hanging on her hand. She gave the famous surgeon a thank you message.

Kane was reading the text message for nth time. His heart was blithe with happiness when she told him that she liked his gift. Kane recalled Ryosuke sharing his experience in courting Tatsuki. However, Ryosuke had emphasized that it would not work for any other girls. He even advised to go on a date and asked Cora straight away. Kane was now in trouble when he felt so helpless with no knowledge of relationships. He had been focused on his studies, work and career all his twenty-five years of life.

Ryosuke sat down in Kane office the next day after their shift. He normally rushed home to be with his wife but not for today. He looked at his troubled mentor with a smile. Kane had some parts similar to Tatsuki. A genius in their field but absolutely clueless in love relationship. However, they should not get Tatsuki involved as she might came up with something mischievous and ruined everything. He told Kane to ask her out this weekend. The two men were seriously planning the date. Ryosuke advised Kane to ask her to become his girlfriend while they slowly studied each other.

Cora was puzzled when she received the message a few days ago. It was autumn and she chose a white sweater, a pair of faded ripped jeans and a brown tranche coat. She checked herself in the mirror and smiled. This outfit should be appropriate for today's outings. Kane was already waiting at the driveway of the condo this morning. He was in his white shirt, navy blue sweater and a pair of jeans. He immediately opened the door for his date. He brought her for breakfast at a cafe before heading to a marketplace. They spent the day exploring the city, going on a city tour cruise and taking a walk in a park. It was their first time exploring this city since they moved here. In the past six years, Kane had only traveled between Harvard University, Hospitals and his house. His off days were spent in bed, recharging his energy. As for Cora, she was always traveling to wherever her boss requested her to go. It was an eye-opening experience today. They then watch a movie together before Kane sent her home. Kane walked her up to her unit with a small bouquet of roses behind.

"Thank you for today's outing. It's fun and I'm really enjoyed it," Cora thanked the surgeon before she unlocked the door.

"Hmm... Cora. This is for you," Kane nervously gave her the flowers.

"Err... Dr. Kou. I can't accept this," Cora replied when she did not know what to do.

"I like you and would like to take care of you. I know this is quite sudden but I want to know more about you. We can slowly study each other..." Kane confessed and asked her to be his girlfriend.

Cora was caught in surprise as she never thought that this handsome surgeon would be asking her out for this reason. She was lost in thoughts as she considering his proposal. She knew that he was attractive and nice. However, he was also her boss's friend. Kane looked at the cute lady in front of him. He slowly bent over and gave her a light kiss on her lips.

"So, I take it as a yes then," Kane said with a smile, remembered Ryosuke's advice to take some initiative.

He then held her hand and led her into the room. Cora became empty-headed since his kissed. It was her first kiss and everything happened too quickly. Kane called her a few times to wake her up. Cora slowly shifted her gazes to her hand that he was holding.

"Dr. Kou... I..." Cora was trying to put her words together.

"Kane, call me Kane," he told her to call him by first name.

Cora was reluctant and kept finding all sorts of reasons why it was inappropriate. Kane was getting agitated by her stubbornness. He sealed her words with his kiss, a passionate and deeper kiss this time. He finally realized what Ryosuke meant by kisses solved everything. He gently withdrew the kiss, looking at the lady catching her breath. He claimed her lips again. He repeatedly kissed her every time she called him, Dr. Kou. He grinned at her when she finally called his name. Cora was now leaning on his chest as she catching her breathe.

Kane asked Cora again to confirm that she would be his girlfriend. Cora nodded, agreeing to his request. She then saw him off at her door. Kane drove home happily.

Tatsuki was sitting at the dining table in her father's house this afternoon. She had been using his dining room as her office for the past few weeks. Bunta was looking at his laptop, checking on his work. He was very happy to see his daughter doing well with Ryosuke. He told her that he was going to watch Kaito's race next week. Tatsuki was very keen on following her father. It had been months since she last met her brother. The two Fujiwaras were discussing on how to surprise Kaito on his last race of this season.

Ryosuke was very busy with his hospital work and exams. He had locked himself in the library after he came home for the past week. Tatsuki did not interrupt his studies and spent more time with her father. However, she had to tell him about her trip tonight. She carried a tray of coffee and snacks into the library. Ryosuke looked up at his wife and gave her a gentle smile. He stood up immediately when she told him about her trip to Japan. He kept all his books and grabbed her hand. He pulled her to the daybed at the corner of the library. He wanted a compensation for her being away. Tatsuki rolled her eyes at his words. He always had reasons to bed her.

Tatsuki woke up alone on her bed the next evening. Her husband was already at work as she looked out of the window, seeing the sunset sky. She slowly sat up, not feeling any discomfort as he must gave her medicine and applied ointment for her. She stood under the hot shower, embarrassing at herself when last night activities were replayed in her mind. She loved him even more as they were together. It was everything about him. Her tears were falling down when she thought of the dream she had last night. She sat down on the floor, wrapped around her knees.

"Tatsuki, what's wrong?" Ryosuke ran into the shower area anxiously.

He did not expect to come home and saw his wife crying. It was a heartbreaking moment. He turned off the shower and carried her up. He placed her on the vanity counter and towel dried her body.

"Please don't leave me," Tatsuki cried.

"I'll never leave you no matter what. Tsuki, tell me what's wrong?" Ryosuke asked as he wiped her tears away.

Tatsuki held him tight and sobbed. Ryosuke was confused with her sudden upset. He did not know what had he done that made she felt so insecure. He listened to his wife confessed how much she loved him and her sudden fears. He kissed her passionately before he reassured her with his confession for her. They then stayed in bed together, talking about themselves.

Ryosuke walked into the staff room on Monday. He was feeling blue as his wife was away for a week. Kane looked at his student with questions when he looked restless than usual. He almost laughed out loud when he heard Ryosuke complained about Tatsuki's trip. Luckily, his girlfriend, Cora, was still around. They then began their work for the day.

Bunta and Tatsuki arrived at Kansai Airport the next morning. They went straight to Mie Prefecture to meet Zyne Racing GT team. They first check-in their hotel rooms before they were supposed to meet Hana. Tatsuki was wondering where her assistant was when she did not turn up on time. After some effort, she managed to get Kaito's room key. She went to surprise Kaito in his room. However, she was bewildered at the first sight when she opened the door. There were clothes scattered around on the floor from the foyer to the main bedroom. It was not just man's clothes but there were woman's clothes too. She looked up at the two familiar faces on the bed. Yes, her assistant, Hana, was on that bed with her brother. She grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge and sat down in the living room, waiting for them to get up. It was meant to be a surprise for Kaito, but she was even more surprised to witness something unexpected.

Hana was her executive director of Zyne Racing. She was the same age as Kaito. This lady was around 1.68cm tall with an hourglass body. She was a fun-loving, confident and caring lady. Tatsuki never thought that her assistant would end up with her brother. She was wondering what happened that put them together in that bed. From her observation, they had a heated activity last night too.

Hana opened her eyes and looked around with a heavy head. She covered her mouth, muffled her scream when she saw her boss next to her. She looked under the blanket and found that she was naked. She slipped out of the bed with pain between her thighs, afraid of waking up her boss. She slowly picked up her panty, skirt, brassiere before she had another heart attack. She startled at the surprise guest at the sofa. Tatsuki handed her a blouse with a smile. She looked at her naked assistant, scrutinizing her from head to toe. She cued Hana to the bathroom. Hana was so embarrassing that she quickly and quietly walked into the bathroom. Tatsuki could see traces of the aftermath on Hana's body. The noise from shower was waking the blonde man up. He was having a bad headache as he sat up on the bed. The only thing he could remember was he brought a girl back last night. He grabbed his boxers from the floor and put it on before walking out of the bedroom.

"Hi, bro. Long time no see," Tatsuki greeted with a grin.

Kaito looked at the girl on the sofa with a scaring exclaimed, "Wha... What are you doing here?"

Kaito quickly gathered all this clothes on the floor and ran into his room. He put on his clothes in a lightning speed. His headache was gone immediately when he saw his sister. So, his father was here too. He paced around the bedroom, thinking about last night and the girl he brought back. He went out as soon as he calmed down. He met with Hana who was just finished her shower, as he walked out of the bedroom. He knew that he was in deep trouble. He popped his head up once he heard the doorbell rang. Bunta walked into the president suite and sat down next to his daughter. Kaito politely greeted his foster father.

Tatsuki began her interrogation at her brother. Hana was sitting on a couch away from the Fujiwara family. Kaito slowly recalled the event he attended last night. He did not want to attend the party from one of the sponsors. However, he could not just turn down the invitation. Both Kaito and Hana attended the party and were led into a private room where they met the sponsors. He told his sister about the strange smell in the room when he entered. He had just a few drinks and left the club. However, he felt that his body was heating up and lost control when he reached his suite. He could not clearly remember anything after that. He looked at Hana, guilt slowly seeping through his body. Tatsuki roughly knew what had happened and asked her brother about his plan. Kaito fixed his gaze at Hana for a long moment before he walked over to her. He held her hands and proposed to her. Hana immediately rejected his proposal as she did not want to marry him out of responsibilities. Kaito never thought about his life partner, but he was a very traditional man. Part of it was his responsibility, but there were many feelings flowing in his heart. He got to know Hana through work for the past two years. He was very impressed by her working attitude, liked her easygoing personality and the way she treated everyone around her. She was a very nice girl. He would not mind to learn more about her, especially after last night. Bunta and Tatsuki left the suite to give them some time. Tatsuki was on the phone, instructing her staffs to investigate last night's party.

Kaito called his sister into the room after half an hour. Tatsuki came back with her father shortly. She placed a red velvet box on the table. Kaito went down on one knee and officially proposed to Hana in front of his family. He put on the two carats princess cut diamond ring on Hana's ring finger. Bunta and Tatsuki welcomed the lady into their family. Tatsuki then brought Hana into the bedroom where she checked on her. She applied medication on her body while they had an open-heart talk. Kaito was having a shower while Tatsuki attended to Hana. They then drove to the nearest city office to get the marriage certificate done.

It was a rare occasion to see both Zyne Racing CEOs at Suzuka circuit. Tatsuki and Bunta were at the paddock with Hana showing them around. They watched the engineers working on the two cars, preparing them for the race. Kaito was on the phone with a stern face. The other driver was uncontactable from yesterday. This race was very important to the team. Although Zyne Racing had secured its teams' championship, he still wanted this last race to end perfectly.

The practice round had started in the afternoon. Kaito shook his head after a call. The driver was now hospitalized for food poisoning last night. Tatsuki looked at her brother and changed into a racing suit. Keisuke came over after he was done with his engineering team. He was surprised when he saw Tatsuki in a racing suit. The siblings were now discussing for their first practice round with Kaito's advice on the strategy. The practice sessions went on well. It seemed that the team seemed familiar with Tatsuki as a driver for the team. His curiosity was bothering him as he watched his bosses left the circuit. They went back to the hotel at the end of the day. Kaito walked into Tatsuki's suite where they had family dinner together. After the dinner, Kaito saw a racing simulator at a corner of the living area. Tatsuki showed him the updated version and told him that she had all their simulators updated. Kaito tried the new version which incorporated racing circuits and most Japan mountain passes in it. He was so impressed with how real it was. He could stop driving it, trying to break the record. Bunta left the three youngsters in Tatsuki's suite while he returned to his room.

The Fujiwara family arrived at the paddock on the next morning. The two siblings were standing at a corner, discussing how they could improve the driving simulator. The qualifying session began in the afternoon. Both Keisuke and Tatsuki finished in one-two positions. Their team was very happy with the results. Tatsuki gave Ryosuke a call after dinner. Ryosuke was surprised when she told him that she was taking part in the race as their driver was hospitalized. She added that she won Keisuke again this afternoon. Ryosuke helplessly shook his head at how happy she was and sympathized his brother at the same time.

It had become a talk of town when Zyne Racing sent a female substitute driver for this last event of the season. Tatsuki was having a chat with her father, while looking around the garage. Zyne Racing engineers and staffs were convinced of their CEO's ability, as they had seen her test drive their racing cars annually. Kaito was the chief executive officer and team principal. However, they had heard a lot of rumors of their mysterious CEO who only appeared at the crucial time. With the new fastest lap record during qualifying, they had more confidence that she would win this race today. The race began at 2pm. Tatsuki was line up in pole position while Keisuke was in second place behind her. As the lights went off, Tatsuki sped off, clearing turn one with Keisuke's car behind. The two Zyne Racing drivers seemed to be competing against each other with a gap of three seconds ahead of the third place. They widened their gap with Tatsuki rewrote the fastest lap record. The team cheered when she set a new fastest lap record of the circuit. Tatsuki finished first with Keisuke just one-sixth of a second behind. The team were so proud and overjoyed to win both driver championship and teams' championship, especially this was Keisuke's first victory as a professional driver. Kaito, Keisuke and his chief engineer went up to the podium. Tatsuki had excused herself from the podium as she did not like the champagne spray. It was a usual practice for Tatsuki not to appear on the podium. She was already changed into Zyne Racing shirt and jeans, resting in the paddock.

Keisuke and Kyoko met Fujiwara siblings after the race at a restaurant. It had been months since they met Tatsuki. Keisuke looked at Kaito and Hana with a shock when Tatsuki broke the news of their engagement. Kaito had won the British GT championship and Formula 3 this year. He then briefly told Keisuke how special Tatsuki to Zyne Racing. She was not only the big boss or CEO of ZR, but also a mysterious substitute driver who guaranteed their winning stake. They continued discussing about the upcoming plans for the Zyne Racing and the automotive department.

Tatsuki asked if Keisuke would like to visit Ryosuke in Boston since he was on a long break. She felt that Ryosuke would be very happy to see his little brother. As for Kaito, he was catching the next morning flight back to UK as he had school to attend. Hana was staying in Japan to wrapped up the works at the Zyne Racing headquarter. They then began catching up on their lives for the past few months before they returned to their hotel rooms.
