My only guess is that this story will be the ONLY story which I shall continue writing.... wonder how that really sounds.
This is an AU. Pretty much get the idea of what's happening in the prologue. Characters are about 25 plus. Think working adults. Standard Disclaimers apply.
Walking Right out of My Life
Tsukushi sat down on the cold hard seat, trying hard to keep herself warm. The airport was eerily quiet and deserted, save for a few passengers who were boarding the early morning flights.
Feeling bored, she decided to take a walk around the airport. She hardly had time to do so when she was working in the past. She rubbed her hands together furiously as she got up.
The two cashiers did not even bother to greet her as she entered the 24-hour convenience store as they carried on talking. Tsukushi stopped by the candies section.
"It's so unbelievable! If only I could ever get close to Doumyouji Tsukasa! He's the richest man in Japan!" A younger cashier babbled. Tsukushi suddenly tensed up.
"Che, and get your heart broke? Such a man would be so busy he wouldn't even have time for you! I guess that was why Okawahara Shigeru divorced him." The older cashier chided.
"But they did not even love each other! It was an arranged marriage! And besides, he did fall in love with the lawyer who handled his case!" The younger one retorted.
"She's just a shameless slut."
"You are just jealous of her!" The young cashier retorted. "Man, I would recognize that lawyer anywhere! She's so pretty!"
"Passengers for flight 198, please board at gate 15. Passengers for flight 198, please board at gate 15." Tsukushi was grateful for the announcement and headed out of the convenience store. In her haste, she bumped into the younger cashier.
"Sorry, are you okay?" The young woman asked apologetically. Her eyes suddenly widened in disbelief. Tsukushi felt uneasy and merely nodded before walking briskly out of the shop.
"Oi, come and help me. What are you staring at?"
The young woman merely pointed at Tsukushi's retreating figure. "I think I just spotted Makino Tsukushi, the lawyer we were talking about."

Tsukushi waited in line to get pass the customs. She hesitated as she waited for her turn to come.
She turned, hoping against hope that he would somehow magically appear. She laughed at her own foolishness.
How could he even come when she did not even tell him she was leaving?
If only she had stopped in front and read the headlines of nearly every newspaper carefully in the store. If only she had chose to wait for a little while more. If only she knew how much she meant to him. For nearly every newspaper carried her photograph, with a plea from the wealthiest man in Japan printed below, "Tsukushi, I beg you to come back to me.'
Tsukushi handed over her ticket and walked past the customs officers. And with every step she took, she walked further out of Doumyouji Tsukasa's life.
~Usual plea for reviews! ^.^ This will probably the only story i will work on for the next couple of months/years. .~~
