Chapter 1

Tsukasa! Tsukasa!! Tsukasa Doumyouji!!! Rui called out.
Tsukasa suddenly snapped out of his thoughts.
Huh? You called Rui? Tsukasa asked.
Hai! I just want to know whether you are alright or not, replied Rui.
Why? Tsukasa asked, confused.
How should I know! I mean after the night the four of us watched that Cique Du Soleil, you had been acting very strange. I mean you had been staring into the open space every time I see you,
WOW! Thats a sign that Tsukasa had fallen in love, teased Soujirou as he entered the living room.
Hey Doumyouji.. How come you never told me that you had fallen in love? teased Mimasaka as he nudge Tsukasa in the ribs.
What! In love? You guys are nuts. There is no way Im in love, Doumyouji hastily denied.
Mimasaka, Soujirou and Rui grinned knowingly.
Umm I better go and dress up. The function will start soon, commented Tsukasa as he stood up from the couch and entered his bedroom.
Me? In love? That is preposterous! Tsukasa thought as he buttoned up his tuxedo.
Suddenly a pair of almond-colored eyes with matching hair flashed through his mind.
Without realizing it, Tsukasa whispered her name out. Tsukushi
Outside the bedroom door was Mimasaka putting his ear on the door. Chuckling softly he walked quickly to his awaiting friends to tell them the tempest that had plague his dear friends mind
---------Grand Hotel--------
I cant believe that I let Mr. Yamashita talked me into this, muttered Tsukushi as she rightened the folds on her evening dress.
Oh Tsukushi dont such things. After all he is our manager. Anyway you look gorgeous in that dress, said Yuki as she looked admiringly at her friend.
Tsukushi had worn a simple baby blue evening dress. Her hair had been curled up and tied into a bun. A few strayed hairs frame her delicate face. As usual her face was as radiant as ever.
What time was it again that this function going to end? Tsukushi asked Yuki.
Tsukushi I swear to god if you ask that question again, I am personally going to take that Apple Danish and stuffed into your mouth, warned the irritated Yuki.
At the far end of the function hall, Tsukasa was discussing some business matters with Mr. Yamashita.
Well I am not sure how much profit it is going to make. Let me ask my executive. She knows the number. Ryu, please get Miss Makino here, thank you, said Mr. Yamashita as he motioned to one of his workers.
Tsukasa sigh inwardly as he watched the worker get this Miss Makino. When is this thing going to end? I would rather stay at home and dream about the sweet tempered Tsukushi.
Tsukasa smiled to himself as he thought about Tsukushi, all the while pretending to listen to what Mr. Yamashita had said.
Mr. Yamashita, did you call for me? asked a familiar voice.
Oh yes! Miss Makino, please meet Mr. Tsukasa Doumyouji, owner of Doumyouji Enterprise, introduced Mr. Yamashita.
Tsukasa turned around to greet Miss Makino. Tsukasa stared in disbelief at her.
Tsukushi was aghast as she looked at Tsukasa. She nearly screamed out loud as she recognize whom it was.
YOU! Tsukushi managed to say as she tries to regain her composure.
We meet again Miss Makino, Tsukasa said, smiling softly.
Of all the stupidest and crude person to meet. HIM!! Why must it be him?! Tsukushi seared to herself.
You had met my executive, Mr. Doumyouji? asked Mr. Yamashita who was incredulous.
Yes. If I remember correctly, our last meeting, Miss Makino here wanted to get my hands on me, Doumyouji said as he raised an eyebrow at Tsukushi.
An outrage gasp came out of Tsukushi. One word could describe what she was feeling at that moment, mortified.
Whatever I said to you the previous time is not important anymore, Tsukushi retorted.
Is that so? What if I said it was important? Tsukasa pressed. A mischievous glint appeared in his eye as he watches Tsukushis refreshing display.

Rui the scene from afar. So this must be the Tsukushi girl that Mimasaka had been talking about, he mused to himself.
Rui noted that Tsukasa was terribly teasing the Tsukushi girl. He also noticed that every time the girl replied the girl replied back to Tsukasa, Tsukasas smile grew wider. Suddenly Rui noticed something strange about Tsukasa.
Is that a glint I saw? It cant be! Rui exclaimed.

Im sorry sir but to literally ignore you from now on, Tsukushi stated out. To prove that she was true to her words, Tsukushi turned around abruptly to face her boss.
Unfortunately her dress got caught in her quest to dismiss him. Stumbling, Tsukushi started to fall backwards. Closing her eyes, Tsukushi waited until she hit the ground. But it never did.
Instead a pair of strong arms enveloped her. Opening her eyes, Tsukushi stared into the so familiar midnight eyes. Tsukushi quickly went out of the embrace and righted herself.
Tsukasas smile widened as he noticed the blush on her face. Tsukasa decided to give her a rest so he did not tease her fall. Turning his attention back at Mr. Yamashita, Tsukasa continued where they had left off.
Is that all, Mr. Yamashita? Tsukushi asked when the two men had finished their conversation.
Hai! You may go now Miss Makino,
Tsukushi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Mr. Yamashita before she takes her leave.
Miss Makino I think you had forgotten something, Tsukasa drawled out when he saw her moving off without saying her bye to him.
Tsukushi stopped in her tracks and muster up all of her patience before turning around. Putting up her best smile, Tsukushi suddenly executed a graceful curtsy and said, With your permission I would like to take my leave now, master.
Unable to suppress it anymore, Tsukasa bust out laughing. All eyes were focused at Tsukasa and Tsukushi. Mimasaka, Soujirou and Rui smiled knowingly at their good friend and made a mental note to tease him later.
After what it seem like hours which was actually minutes, Tsukasa finally ceased his laughter into chuckles. Still chuckling, Tsukasa stared at Tsukushi who was smiling too sweetly at him.
Yes you can go Tsukushi, said Tsukasa.
Still smiling, Tsukushi turned around and walked to her awaiting friend.
I am sorry fir my executives behaviour. I knew she had a temper but I never knew she would resort to something such as this, apologized Mr. Yamashita after Tsukushi had moved off.
Its ok It was my fault anyway. I had pushed her too much, commented Tsukasa as his eyes follow his tempest.

Guess who I met just now, asked Tsukushi once she reached Yukis side.
Yuki raised an eyebrow questioningly as she drink a cup of punch,
That crude man that over our place last week. That jerk who said I could even buy you
Yuki chocked on her drink and was now coughing. Tsukushi slapped her friends back to try and relieve Yuki.
*Cough You mean the person whom you wanted to get your hands on? Yuki asked once she had regained herself.
Yeah.. and you will never guess who he is
Who?
Mr. Tsukasa Doumyouji, answered Tskushi.
What? Yuki burst out laughing when realization hit her.
Now wonder he said he could buy you if he wants to
Tsukushi tapped her feet impatiently as she waits for Yuki to stop laughing.

It seems that your attention is caught on something.. or should I say someone, remarked Rui as he stepped closer to Tsuksasa.
How did you know?, Tsukasa asked as he tore his gaze from his temptess.
We have eyes, Tsukasa. Anyway you did a splendid job on attracting curious gazes when you laughed just now, commented Soujirou.
So whos the lucky girl? Must be Tsukushi Makino right? teased Mimasaka.
A faint blush appeared on Tsukasas face.
Where did you get that information from? Doumyouji asked.
News travel fast You should know from experience, Rui commented as he smiled at his blushing friend.
So what did you do to unleash the fire in her? asked Mimaska.
This and that, replied Tsukasa as he once again reverted his gaze to the laughing brown haired beauty.
The action went unnoticed by his friends. All of them nodded knowingly and tried to find a way to cease their friends torment. Suddenly an idea struck Mimasaka.
Hey Tsukasa! Why dont you invite Mr. Yamashita and her to a game of poker, a strip poker? Mimasaka suggested.
All of them nodded their agreement except Tsukasa.
Forget it pervert. You are not gonna get a glimpse of her, Tsukasa stated sternly.
Mimasaka shook his head. No I dont mean that
Then get to the point! Tsukasa demanded.
What I have in mind is that Mimasaka eagerly told his idea to his friends. When everything was told, Tsukasa had a very sly smile on his face as he stared at his prize.
