Doumyouji smiled, calming the tense atmosphere. In an instant., Doumyouji suddenly lashed out, giving a blow to the stomach of the other two aggressor. They doubled over in pain. "Stop! Stop it!" Cried Asai. Asai & Co. rushed to Doumyouji's side with a smug look. Turning around slowly, Doumyouji held his temper. Something about their expression made him feel that Asai & Co. were responsible for this. "You shouldn't beat him......He is innocent," Asai started. "It is she who is responsible. She is a slut," Asai pointed her finger to Tsukushi who looked shocked. Doumyouji raised an eyebrow. The anger he felt when he saw Tsukushi being forced upon was still fresh. Doumyouji hoped that his patience held its vigil when Asai had said her mind. "Look here. I have the photos to prove she is a slut!" Asai took out photos of what looks like Tsukushi kissing a man, the man's back facing the camera. "See! She is a slut!" Asai retorted. Tsukushi stared in astonishment. It is her! But who is the guy? Taking a closer look, Tsukushi blushed when she recognized who it was. The people around her started to murmur. Doumyouji smiled as he handed back the photo and started to walk towards Tsukushi. Asai & Co. had a smug look on their faces. Thinking Doumyouji is going to beat Tsukushi, Asai snickered. Instead of hitting her, Doumyouji suddenly drew Tsukushi close and kissed her tenderly on the lips..... Everyone was stunned, including the rest of the F4. Tsukushi blushed when Doumyouji had raised his head. Rui and the rest of the F4 was the first one to snap out of the stupor. They knew that Doumyouji and Tsukushi would work out. Grinning like simpletons, they walked towards the couple. Asai shook her head. It can't be! I'm far prettier an richer than Tsukushi. How come he never choose me? Asai suddenly pushed Tsukushi to the floor and confronted Doumyouji. "How could you? It should have been me! I'm far prettier and richer than she is! Why did you choose that trash as a girlfriend?!" Asai suddenly took a step back. Doumyouji's eyes radiated the anger that she had never seen before. "You want to know why? Even though she is not rich and pretty, her heart is pure and she is honest. But the most important thing is her loyalty. You had never had loyalty in you," he countered with an icy voice. Doumyouji slowly walked towards Asai but was stopped by a slight tug on his arm. Doumyouji glanced down and stared into Tsukushi's eyes. Doumyouji slowly felt his anger slipping away. "Don't Doumyouji. Its not worth it," Tsukushi pleaded as she shook her head. " Oh don't Doumyouji! Its sickening! YOu are so weak Tsukushi, and you could never beat me. Tis no wonder they say that Doumyouji is a weakling," snickered Asai. "Doumyouji is so weak....." Asai was not able to complete her sentence as Tsukushi suddenly slapped her across the face. Everyone was stunned. All eyes were on Tsukushi. "Insulting me was one thing. But insulting Doumyouji was a major mistake," Tsukushi stated. "Do you know that I'm sickened by your selfish attitude? You pick on people whom you think are weaker than you. But the real secret why you bully them is that you know that they are far better than you; both in physical and mental," Tsukushi lashed out. " You just pick on them to make them fear you. With fear come respect. But respect is not earned through fear but through something special that you do," she continued. Tsukushi sighed and massaged her throbbing temples. At least her heart felt light. Turning around with her back facing Asai, Tsukushi said," Grow up Asai. Its not too late." Doumyouji placed a protective arm around Tsukushi and walked out of the hallway. The rest of the F4 trailed after the couple.......
